Millennial dudes, this isn’t easy to tell you. Gen Z currently classifies you as “older men.”
But don’t worry oldies, there’s a silver lining: Generation Z women still want to date you. However, they’re now noticing that there’s one common thing in your communication style that they’re struggling with. This is how you text:
My guess is that this should be rephrased as your “lack of text”.
In fact, some of you young men prefer to use an emoji instead of words as an acceptable form of communication:
That’s why Gen Z folks are coming together in solidarity to spread awareness (possibly in the hopes that you’ll change your texting ways):
Because the vague — and sometimes very business-like — conversation is leaving millions of women totally confused:
But thanks to TikTok, these women are finally realizing that this isn’t just their problem:
This is a universal finding that needs attention:
Especially because some relationships are ending because of this kind of communication style:
These “messages from older men” have really exhausted Generation Z women (and probably many Millennial women, too):
These messages make women think more about things they shouldn’t, because you’re doing this:
Especially because the confusion these texts create is unnecessary:
These women want you to know that when it’s necessary to use an exclamation mark, it will make them think you are angry…
Therefore, some kind of sense is always preferred to avoid incorrect text interpretation:
Oh, and these ellipses. They don’t like them:
Having said all that — even if some of you are sending a message with one finger — Generation Z women are still willing to overlook it and date you:
Knowing in advance how a text exchange might go with you:
So, if you are a young man reading this and find these lessons acceptable, the problem is you.
Share your wild – okay, maybe vague and boring – messages about dating “older men” (aka millennial men) in the comments!!!
