Weaskedolder men of theBuzzFeed Communityto tell us what things younger men do that confuse them.

Here’s what leaves them bewildered the most:

Big and poufy up top, with permanent hat hair because the tips swoop up at the bottom.

They all look like they’re wearing helmets and haven’t showered in weeks.

“Why do so many of them wear wool beanie caps in 90-degree weather?”

“I’m surprised by the popularization of younger men eating women’s asses.

It is awfully confusing and extremely unappealing to me, though I know plenty of people have their kinks.

Nothing wrong with it.

But them being so publicly open about it is the part that is mind-boggling to me.”

“I dont get ‘thirst traps.’

“I’m baffled by how tentative younger men seem to be about defining relationships.

If you like someone, tell them.

Tell them that you are focused on getting to know them and let them get to know you.

Don’t muddy the waters with always hanging out in groups or quasi-dates.”

I don’t get it.”

“Growing up, I was taught to be self-sufficient and do most things for myself.

Style is style I get that, and I’m cool with people expressing themselves however they like.

But I’m a little confused by the lumbersexual fad.

“A lot of younger men wear underwear under their swim trunks… “I don’t get them wearing suit jackets that are so tight they can’t be buttoned.

Also, I don’t get wearing sneakers with a suit jacket.”

You miss 100% of the shots you dont take.

“They almost always post even their trivial ideas on any social media platform to ingratiate themselves.”

‘Im sweating like a pig, but at least I look cool :).'”

For god’s sake, start meeting up with your friends in person more often.

Talk with other humans in person and make real connections.

Phones do not truly keep you connected on a level that is required for deep, meaningful relationships.”
