Yes I did, constantly. I was as perplexed as she was. It was a concern I had in our relationship as we were in a long distance relationship and if this was going to move forward, it would require travel back and forth to see each other's friends and family if we took the next steps. She was young, fit, ate well, ate good quality food, no substance abuse issues affecting sleep, slept plenty of hours, was considered medically healthy etc. This was a common theme with a few of her friends in her town as well.
As for My circle of friends, it was virtually the same thing and the same complaints in the same age group. Maybe people just complain more these days then previous generations? Someone in the thread mentioned how people always complain about being "busy" as a badge of honor these days, perhaps that is part of it now.
I will say, and conversations with friends/family from both genders confirm, the older generations are just able and willing to do a LOT more. These older women are like machines, they don't stop in all aspects. Just getting things done.
Since this has been brought up how many times amongst friends and people within my community, thought I would ask the general population about it on CP.
