Do you prefer Millennials or Gen Z as a generation?

Aren’t you a little young to be complaining about “kids these days”?

If you're a younger Millennial, there isn't that much of a difference between you and (older) Zoomers.

If you're an older Millennial, then it is beyond pathetic to be emotionally invested in Generation Wars^TM with kids who are, at the absolute oldest, less than three years out of college.

Incidentally, here's something that kind of relates to this. On certain dating apps I've noticed that some people have a bizarre and very specific age range preference. Not a round number (which is silly enough in itself IMO) but, for example, someone who is 33 might have 31-34 as their age range. Does that mean someone who is going to turn 35 next week will then be out of the question, and does a 30 year-old whose birthday isn't until next week need to wait until then to message this person? Plenty of people are 'younger' or 'older', by a little bit or by a significant amount, in terms of their personality, looks, health etc. In adulthood, those factors and others are more important, surely, in determining whether a relationship or friendship will work.

I don't think it's that weird, I think most people would want a partner to be +/- 3 years of their own age.

I've always felt like age gaps seem more reasonable if the guy is slightly older.  Like, a 26 year old guy might want a girl from 20-29 (-6 to +3), while a 26 year old girl might want a guy from 23 to 32 (-3 to +6).  At least it often tends to be that way for whatever reason.

I mean they're certainly more common, but I don't know why they would be more reasonable. I know I'm probably an outlier, but I do prefer women who are slightly older than me.
