I manage a men's clothing store in Pinehurst, NC. Had a guy come in the other day who appeared to be a younger millennial and he wanted a blue blazer. I walked over to pull one off the rack which fit him perfectly (I run about a 90% plus success rate for doing that. The 50+ sizes give me a little trouble because damn.) The guy then spends 45 minutes posing in front of the 3-way mirror and taking pictures of himself and calling people to get his affirmations and reassurances before purchasing. Even if I was prone to needing to do that I'd have been too embarrassed to go through with it. I get quite a few guys like that coming in and this one was, I admit, a bit more extreme, but I'm often pulled in to give my own assurances.

To me, this behavior goes against what it is to be a man. A real man shouldn't give a crap what others think. Self confidence is the most appealing aspect for anyone.

I still, and always will, think boomers are the most narcisstic. At least millenials can admit it's a quality they possess. I've never seen a generation that wants more and more, blames others for their problems and looks down at other generations than boomers.

Well, I would replace quality with characteristic. I don't see the heavy need for affirmation as a quality, but since you used it that way wouldn't that be a compliment to the boomers?

Nope. Not much to compliment about Boomers.

When thong shopping, I always send pictures to my wife for her approval prior to purchasing. Is that unusual?

When thong shopping? For her, or yourself?

Doc has always been about the thong, presumably for himself and humor but who knows?

Priceless...
