But there is a massive difference I find with people around my age group and even someone 33/34. We grew up without the internet to the same degree. Most of us didn't get smartphones until 2012 maybe? It was flip phones, lot's of actual phone calls, paying for ringtones.
As for dates, I tell women all the time straight up when complimented on my phone etiquette. I would rather check out their breasts then my phone. The honesty and the compliment is appreciated almost 100% of the time.
I wish I was 40 again. Even over 60 I feel good. Just takes me a little longer to warm up and get going. That and recovery time is the only difference I find. Still doing my 20 to 50000 steps a day.

Clarify please, it sounds like you say this to your date, and 100% of the time they appreciate it?

Phone etiquette has come up on many occasions during the early stages of dating. I have been complimented on not looking at my phone or I have made a similar compliment if she has provided strong attention skills. The conversation picks up from there and the honesty of my previous comment. I say straight up that I am old fashion and would rather check the date out as opposed to have my eyes glued to my phone. I have yet to have a women not appreciate it.

You know who ####ing sucks? Parents who don’t watch their little kids do the things they’re signed up for. Man… you don’t get enough cell phone time at home? Their sibling can go 30 mins without an iPad too. It’s good to be bored. It’s even better and more important to be looking at your kid when they look to you for approval as they learn new skills. ####, people suck.
Gotta be 80% I’ve seen out there. And I’m talking about 5 and under kids… although my opinion isn’t going to change at any age. But ####.
I hear you, but I try to cut parents of young kids some slack. It's exhausting.
Some old fk asked my wife 'what was so interesting on her phone?' one time at swim lessons. I guess he thought she should be watching them flap around in the pool? Meanwhile, she had left work early while all her colleagues were still working (that never feels good), picked the kids up, got them ready and into the pool, then had to continue working from her phone. And this POS had the audacity to insinuate she wasn't a good enough mom because she wasn't mindlessly watching the kids splash around.
Your post reminded me of how upset she was when she came home.
My wife had a good excuse for not watching the kids through the glass from one story above the pool in this scenario, but even so, watching little kids do banal things isn't everyone's cup of tea...especially when you live it 24/7 with them. I always viewed those activities as a bought-and-paid-for break for myself.

30-40 isn't young. Just accept we're middle aged guys.

50k is nuts. Parking your car and walking? If I walk to the grocery store and back it’s the same path as a normal walk and I’m only getting g to 10-13k steps a day.
Like is your job to walk all day ?
