Coffee Chats: When Did The Young (20s) Become So Boring?

Time is precious. Here we value non-boring chats and interactions that are fully engaging, soulfully enriching, inspiring, and leave you a bit wiser than when you arrived.

In that spirit (mind the pun!), today’s fully hosted laid back social coffee chat will offer a perfect haven for the inquisitive & curious on an intriguing observation I have personally observed.

Remember when Fri & Sats nights meant going out for music, dancing, drinking, and random conversations with strangers? Fast‑forward to today: the vibe has shifted. Young people head home at 11, skip the dance floor, avoid the bar banter, and the stats are wild — data show virginity rates among men hitting record highs by age 30. What's happened?

• Is it just that my sample data is biased or has things really shifted?
• Why has nightlife lost its spark for the 20‑somethings?
• Is it health, economics, or just a new definition of “fun”?
• What does it mean for dating, socialising, and the energy of our cities?

Expect lively debate, sharp humour, and a host that isn’t afraid to ask the awkward questions. Bring your curiosity, your stories, and your caffeine tolerance — we’ll stir the pot on whether the young have really become boring, or if they’re just rewriting the rules of pleasure. And if you are in your 20s I would for to attend and get your input!
