Unironically every few minutes. It gets irritating, seeing them check their phone, unlock it, open an app just to close it when the light turns green in a few seconds. But they'll do anything to avoid a lack of stimulation. I'm the youngest, the only man, and I regularly go camping, hiking, avoid taking my phone with me, preparing to go hunting, just normal stuff 10 years ago. Mentalmaxxing with icebaths and meditation and all.
Obviously it's about how you are raised, so usually the parent generation's fault + public education's fault, but I'm sure gender plays a role. Men are naturally more independent thinkers and women are naturally going to follow the lead of a man. All girls can look up to with a shitty father figure is celebrities and now e-celebrities.
