Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is deeper in the den with dangerous d When
would you describe somebody as old whatever? That would be
somebody in their eighties or nineties, seventies, sixties, even the fifties,
Well depends who you ask. Your survey ask people at
what age do you think is officially old? And twenty
two percent of gen Zers said you're over the hill
at the age of thirty five. That includes six percent

(00:22):
who said thirty three percent who said twenty seven. By
the way, the oldest member of the gen zs are
already twenty eight, so maybe they're spotting their own gray hairs.
The older you get, the later people define as old.
Fifteen percent of millennials considered thirty five years old to
be old. They didn't ask older adults, but pretty safe
that zero percent of boomers would consider anybody thirty five old.

(00:43):
Here's other things they found in this survey. Fifty one
percent of gen Zers and sixty two percent of millennials
say declining health is their number one age related fear.
Second biggest concern for gen Zers is not achieving enough
were The biggest concern for millennials was financial insecurity. Forty
seven percent of gen z is cringe at those who
party regularly into their thirties, and forty nine percent of

(01:04):
millennials judge those over thirty for living with their parents.
Thirty percent of gen zers and twenty nine percent of
millennials believe they peaked too early, and seventy three percent
are both optimistic that their best years are ahead of them.
Sixty three percent of gen zers and fifty percent of
millennials admit to measuring their achievements against celebrities, which is foolish.
Thirty eight percent of gen zers have already given up

(01:26):
becoming famous. Thirty three percent said it's too late for
them to change their careers. It's never too late, okay.
Nine percent of gen zers think people will stop having
sex at forty Well, not voluntarily deeper in the two. Well,
if your version of mister Wright and Missus right checked
all the boxes, or you needed to check all the boxes,

(01:46):
you might be waiting for a while, maybe forever. Forty
percent of people in relationships says their partner isn't their type,
at least not on paper. Ninety two percent said at
least one key personality trait does not line up them.
So they looked at the common things that we don't
have in common. Number one is a classic. It's the
old thermostat debate. One person cold, the other is always hot.

(02:10):
Other personality traits that differ between couples. One's a spender,
one's a saber. One's a planner, the other likes to
go with the flow. One's an early bird, ones a
night all. One's open about their feelings, the other one
keeps things bottled up. One likes to wake up slowly,
the other one jumps out of bed ready to go
chatterbox versus quiet. I think the problem with my wife

(02:31):
she would talk if she could get a word in edgewise. Sorry.
One tidy, the other is a slob. One loves big parties,
the other one would like to stay home. Now, that's
the one with my wife and I right there. She'd
rather stay home. I'd like to go out and hang
with people. The other one is between her and eye.
One loves spicy food, the other one can't handle the heat.
Paul also found fifty seven percent of us agree with

(02:54):
the statement that opposites attract. You know, our personalities are
pretty close to the saying. There's just a few little
things that we maybe don't necessarily agree on the fact
that I'm always wrong and she's always right. That's why
I married Missus always right. Tune it again for another
episode of Deeper in the Den with dangerous Dave right here.
