Does anyone actually believe those loneliness/sexlessness stats about us Gen Z’ers?

Discussion

Because I think most people on the internet who do don’t know ANY Gen Z’ers in their own, real, actual life least of all many or even ANY who are really like that (lonely, single and virgin). Now I’m Gen Z (born 2006), male and also lonely, single and virgin but I personally know at least FIVE guys (well one of them recently broke up with theirs but he still had one so he still counts here, right?) all younger than me who already have girlfriends of their own. Two of them even related to me a story at their school that happened recently (either this year or last) about two students having sex on top of the stairs there. And before you ask yes, it was heterosexual I made sure (though maybe it wouldn’t hurt just to make DOUBLY sure). One of the guys even told me he didn’t feel the need to specify it was but I thought it was good to ask for the sake of this.

And before any of you blabber on about how “anecdotes don’t disprove statistics!” remember what Mark Twain said: “There’s lies, damn lies and statistics”. So unless any of you have actually seen this in Gen Z with your own, actual eyes in REAL LIFE, not online, then kindly shut the fuck up please and stop stereotyping and maligning my generation. Thank you.
