2 No, they don't think themselves special, more like screwed. MGTOW and passport bros are done with entitled narcissistic women of their generation. They're finding financial celibacy means not killing yourself to generate an income just to make someone else happy.

3 Narcissism is the enemy of team development. Team development (even teams of 2) is the cycle where the focus is on building trust, clarity, and alignment — the foundation for later stages of conflict resolution, cohesion, and high performance.

Rejecting 'self' and putting the other team member(s) first is generally the key to success.

4 more like screwed.

One can understand the lads thinking so, after that mess in the Cornell fraternity that it was later reported had hewed so closely to the proper etiquette they’d been taught for group s3x encounters. Why Cornell is teaching such things is beyond me, but supposedly it’s so.

5 Now that I’ve read the article, it seems to me that Gen Z is divided in this, like so much else. A good chunk of them choose careers that will support a family, then proceed to marry and have that family — often targetting three or more children like the Millennials before them, whether or not one of the spouses gives up paid work to enable that. I keep hearing that the Gen Z children of people I know chose skilled blue collar work specifically so they could get on with the next stage of life without a large college debt hanging over them, and by their mid-20s either have acquired a spouse and a house, or are looking for the right person to make a life with. So they aren’t dating just for practice, as it were, but in a very deliberate, old-fashioned way are testing the possibilities for spousal suitability.

This doesn’t at all match the Nick Fuentes-style arm candy approach one reads so much about, which to my eye doesn’t look very different from the lifestyle Playboy Magazine touted back in the 1960s and ‘70s.
