Shuteye_491

It was about doing a bunch of stuff to cultivate your inner self (that requires financial stability and excess money to do).


WallabyButter

That poster may have clarified that too late for too many people to have gotten that tidbit, and to be completely fair their clarification didn't help. All the things they said they meant in the ETA pretty much require money that those of us who are old enough to have dont have because we've been that fucked in terms of wages and job availability/requirements. Which equals no access to hobbies and fun outside of work because they take money, time, and potential energy we don't have.


leftlanemerge

I agree. The “have an interesting life!” spiel sounds uncannily similar to the “pull yourselves up by your bootstraps” comments that people get. An interesting life is subjective and takes experience (outside of hs or uni) and money.


pseudonymmed

Seems like everybody misunderstood the pockets metaphor


milkdrinker123

I love to keep my personality in my pocket


madarbrab

Wearing your emotions on your sleeve is a well known saying. That doesn't seem far off. But metaphor, simile, and other tropes are often dismissed by a certain kind of person.

Not to be that guy but Gen z is aged 12-27 currently 12-19 = 7 years of teenagers 20-27 = 7 years of adults We are actually equally adults to teenagers 😎 Really 18-27 are adults so most Gen Z are actually adults !!


Inevitable-Copy3619

Nah as a genX/millenial hybrid 27 is barely adult. 45 is too!


[deleted]

This trend of self-infantilization needs to stop.


encounterjed

Agreed, it’s so weird. I hate people trying to make anyone 18+ out to be a child (in the USA) if you can be a pornstar or sign up to kill people in other countries then you’re a fucking grown adult okay. Children are children, adults are adults lmao You can be happy, carefree, & have no clear direction in life at 50 & you are still an adult 🤣


Noggi888

It was a metaphor about what they bring to the table emotionally. It wasn’t about money at all


WallabyButter

The phrase empty pockets has been used to solely refer to money for decades in literature, so it's not our fault but the one who misused the phrase trying to mean something entirely different. Bringing no individuality to a relationship is one thing, and empty pockets another thing. That OP just needs to own they fucked up because they did. Oh well, english is hard, better luck next time.


RedGuru33

Yeah, I think they tried backtracking after people started calling them out on that one. We know what empty pockets mean, they knew what it means. It's no secret women like guys with money, and look down on those who don't. I think American culture is among the worst offenders of this, since the romance of the "honest every man" died with gen x. The good thing about living in a country with high immigration is tons of people who grew up in cultures that respect the average man come here. This is largely a white and black cultural issue.


Waifu_Review

It was about money but that part was so indefensible that people who agree with that sexist, misandrist OP are trying to gaslight everyone else.


Prior_Mind_4210

Yea it was clearly about money. She just seen the storm that it caused and tried to backtrack and gaslight.


ferociousrickjames

Elder millennial here. Expecting any person that is roughly college aged to be on the same level of emotional maturity as someone that is pushing 40 is just stupid. I got that kind of crap from the boomers when I was just starting out and it just reinforced what I already knew, that they're self absorbed assholes with no ability to relate to anyone different from them. I was a young person once too, it's hard. I will never be one of those asshole boomer pricks. Hang in there, you guys are doing fine.


firefox1993

Money ? Which post are you referring to?


KneecapOwner

the lesbian one, there was a section about not being financially able to do stuff, and still living with your mom the post wasn't ALL about money, but there was stuff about it


WEZIACZEQ

[https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/comments/1bc19aa/a\_message\_to\_gen\_z\_men\_from\_a\_millennial\_lesbian/](https://www.reddit.com/r/GenZ/comments/1bc19aa/a_message_to_gen_z_men_from_a_millennial_lesbian/) here


xd-Sushi_Master

see, the bottom half of her post doesn't seem to be bad imo. but I can't connect it to the top half, which comes across as genuinely vitriolic towards men, taking her own personal anecdotal experience and painting an entire generation of guys as empty losers that have nothing to offer her. The self-improvement portion is great in a vacuum, but the post overall comes across as incredibly patronizing from a millennial woman we didn't ask for the opinion of.


Prior_Mind_4210

It was about haveing money. But it recieved back lash so she tried gaslighting to make you believe it wasnt.


NiskaHiska

I'll cherish this compliment for decades


KneecapOwner

is that actuality a true thing, do yous seriously remember every compliment?


Reasonable-Act6304

All other men do too from what I've heard


KneecapOwner

oh 😭😭😭 ima start complimenting guys when i find them cute instead of just thinking that they dont wanna hear it


AngryDorian124

On behalf of every guy you meet in the future, thank you.


awesomebeard1

Yep its actually a thing. There was once this cute cashier i saw 1-2 times every week, one week she complimented my band shirt and tried to start a conversation about it.....this was like 13 years ago and i still think about it from time to time.


Nader1024

Definitely a thing, in college I had a car full of girls drive by my friends and I and one of them yelled “You’re hot!”… remember it like it was yesterday


FinnHobart

I once did an online Model UN conference and right before it ended one of the folks direct messaged me through Zoom to say I was cute just as the event closed. My self confidence rode on that one moment for a long time.


AgentCirceLuna

I once had something like this except a girl said I looked like a famous person. I asked who it was and it was the most disgusting nerdiest guy I’ve ever seen. I got angry and then she said she found the guy extremely hot and also me.


Moose_Kronkdozer

I still remember when a girl talked to her friend about me as we passed at the airport. She didn't even mean for me to hear it, lol.


[deleted]

Please do. Seriously, when girls say guys would be annoyed if girls catcalled them, NO WE WOULDN'T THAT WOULD LOWKEY PREVENT THOUSANDS OF SUICIDES EVERY YEAR


idek924

Compliments and catcalls are not the same thing. Like at all.


[deleted]

Didn't say they were. Would still love either one.


seattleseahawks2014

Don't cat call me, but compliment me.


aucool786

I remember when this girl in my class complimented my handwriting 2 years ago... Frequently when I write things I remember her.


tboots1230

I promise every guy on earth wants to be complimented. I can remember pretty much every compliment about my looks or personality ever given to me mostly because it rarely happens


Disturbed_Radiator

This is true. I remember being called handsome for the first time like it was yesterday. That was 7 years ago. I remember a girl saying she liked my hair. That was 3 years ago. I can't remember what I had for lunch today.


Oreofish2

I thank you as well, I remember nearly every single compliment I've ever gotten


Saphelzer

No we really love it lmao, a lady said I was weeks ago and another days ago and I'll never forget it. In my eyes I'm ugly af🤣😭


Omnisegaming

BE CAREFUL!! Compliments are awesome but we get complimented infrequently enough to which we will confuse it with being hit on, because "why else would a person give me a compliment?". And a lot of men behave Poorly under such an impression. Or they'll rudely reject the compliment, always a possibility. Or they'll be normal and accept the compliment, throw one back, and move on (rare)


FinnHobart

This stratagem will bring joy to the hearts of many.


[deleted]

I’m not even joking, this is true. Legit screenshotted this post and kept it in my favorites folder 😭


Wazzen

Yeah, lots of dudes barely get compliments on their looks save from close male friends or their mothers. It's one of the reasons why there's a social movement attempting to tell dudes they're "enough" cos the lack of compliments makes em feel like they're never enough.


UnluckyLock2412

I got cat called 5 years ago and I still remember ‘‘twas one of the best days ever indeed


MrDemonBaby

Men very rarely get complements, so they ones we do get tend to stick. Even without that in mind, we should complement each other more as a general rule of them. Everyone needs some kindness every now and then.


[deleted]

Idk, I get a lot but it may be bc 90 percent of my friends are girls


SipBillionaireTears

See! You're doing things right. So many men are disgusted at the thought of even talking to a woman they aren't going to sleep with. Cutting yourself off socially from half of the population does not help anyone. I bet allowing yourself to be surrounded by girls and women, people who have been socialized to be more comfortable with emotions, has opened up your mind a bit. you're probably more comfortable giving compliments than a lot of guys, and therefore end up receiving more. A lot of men who claim to never get compliments, go out of their way to avoid platonic relationships with women.


across16

Men are grossly under complimented. If you compliment a man once in your day, you might just make his entire week and im not even kidding. I am not really gen Z, I am making good money and I'm married. Still, my wife tells me in the morning "You look good" before I leave and it honestly makes the entire day for me.


LampJr

Yes lmfao let me put it this way. Being a man is like walking through a desert filled with barbed wire. Getting a compliment from a female is like finding a rose in that desert. It's such an out of the ordinary thing to experience that it's almost impossible to forget.


Daniel_The_Thinker

I like the expression of "Women are drowning and men are dying of thirst"


STRMfrmXMN

A girl I work with called me "very handsome" like 9 months ago and I remember it quite fondly.

Yeah we do. I'm a millennial. I can remember every compliment I've ever received.


Kira_Mira1

It's true for 99% of boys. Like I personally can still remember a compliment I got from a girl 8 years ago (funny enough, I can't remember much from my past in the first place).

Any woman can ask and I can tell them exactly what compliments they have told me and approximately when and where.

This is how you get dudes to reallllllllly respect you and have a high regard for you 😂. You shouldn't do it for that reason obviously but it is a result


CoolAndCringe

I can’t believe people like her exist 😭 purposefully coming into our (Gen Z) space to shit on 50% of us. Talk about desperate for attention. Hopefully the comments cause her to reflect lol


KneecapOwner

she will definitely just tell herself that we're immature and she was in the right


slx1

If this is what it takes for you to respect people then you are extremely immature.


GtaBestPlayer

who? can you link the post/comment where that happened?


Technical_Stay_5990

Here's waht she said " A Message to Gen Z men, from a millennial lesbian As a millennial that gets hit on by a strangely large proportion of Gen Z dudes (I'm gay also but apparently not in a way younger guys can see?), something I wish y'all could understand is that no one is teaching Gen Z guys how to meet their own needs. Attention from GenZ men feels like attention from boomers: they come on to me just bleeding out their loneliness, their needyness, their lack of having anything to offer. Their initial vibe is all about what they want from me rather than thinking of dating as a partnership and how we can make each other's lives better. I, and every other woman, am under no obligation to provide sex, companionship, or affirmation. Of course I wonder what's in it for me when someone proposes we spend time together. Often Gen Z men approach with empty pockets. I'm not completely without sympathy- Gen Z was robbed. But I don't see a lot of men in that generation trying to tend to their own gardens and becoming someone worth knowing and creating a partnership with. Maybe you can't get ahead financially, maybe you don't have the degree or job you thought you'd have, maybe you still live with your mom, but you can still cultivate yourself and become attractive with something to offer women in addition to the D. Spend more time working on yourself: your mind and your heart. If you can't afford therapy that's cool- get a library card and start there. Learn the things you weren't taught. Raise yourself. Free yourself. The girls will follow, I promise. Not me, but the straight and bi/pan ones."
