17 Older Women Are Sharing "Strange" Things Younger Women Do, And I'm Actually Shocked At Some Of These
A while back, we wrote about things that older women find "puzzling" about younger women. And the responses range from majorly petty to SOoOOooOo valid. Then, some readers even shared their own responses. Here are the most interesting ones:
1."The CONSTANT selfies! Really, don’t you have enough already??!!"
—Anonymous, 63
2."Messy hair, partially shaved head, uneven haircuts…really? Why bother?"
—Anonymous, 79, Schaumburg, IL

3."The implanted bottoms, the puffed-up lips, the breast implants, the facial fillers. It’s a freak show. Doesn’t anyone want to look simply pretty in their own way? Be themselves."
—Anonymous, 73, Kansas
4."They don’t read for pleasure. You can tell from their limited vocabularies, inability to spell or write, and lack of knowledge of historical and societal topics."
—Anonymous
5."Cutting off family members with no explanation."
—Anonymous, 67, Georgia
6."Sticking your tongue way out in every photo. Looks sooo stupid."
—Anonymous

7."Nobody expects young people to make or answer phone calls anymore. I prefer texting for most purposes, but talking on the phone is important for business. I DJ at weddings — it's my job. Most of the couples are in their 20s, and I usually don't talk with them in real time until we meet at the wedding."
—Anonymous, 44, California
8."The stiletto nails! How do you wipe your rear end without getting an anal probing?!"
—Anonymous, 63
9."Leggings are not pants. And, if worn, wear them with a tunic top, a long t-shirt, or a long sweater/jacket to cover your rear end."
—Anonymous, 61, Huntsville, AL
10."'Ok, Boomer' is disgusting. We’ve got more experience and knowledge than they probably will ever have. When I was young, anyone over the age of 30 was considered to be a pig. I just laughed because they were all going to be 30 someday."
—Anonymous
11."Women who date men who clearly can’t take care of themselves. Girl, go get a man as independent as you, and you will never complain."
—Anonymous
12."I’m open to all walks of life, be it gay, straight, or whatever. Life is short, do you. What I don’t understand is when Gen Z claims they don’t like titles/categories but then turn around and give themselves titles and categories."
—Anonymous, 39
13."Why do they walk like that?! I don’t know how to describe it, but it’s so weird!"
—Anonymous, 78, Providence
14."OnlyFans needs to go."
—Anonymous, 48
15."Many high school students I teach now have fake nails and fake eyelashes. Why so much effort when you're just going to school?"
—Anonymous, 40, Tacoma, WA
16."No one has hobbies. Scrolling and looking good is their hobby. Colossal waste of time and of life. No one paints, pots, sews, does woodworking, cooks, does music, or crafts."
—Anonymous
17.And lastly, "I don’t understand FaceTiming from everywhere, especially the bathroom!!! Not only respect yourself, but also others around you. I really don’t need to listen to your conversation and have them hear me going to the bathroom."
—Anonymous, 49, Phoenix, AZ
