Older Women Were Asked To Share Something That Young Women Do That Puzzles Them, And 30 Didn’t Hold Back

ADVERTISEMENT

In a post on r/AskReddit, platform user u/IslamicAnime addressed older women: "What is something young women are doing that puzzles you?" and the answers quickly started pouring in, attracting a diverse range of perspectives.

The dialogue that emerged highlighted the generation gap and shed light on contrasting experiences between the two camps, with some older women expressing confusion over the obsession with social media and the constant need for validation while others said they can't understand why 20-something-year-olds get so many beauty procedures.

However, many older women also expressed curiosity and a willingness to learn from their younger counterparts, acknowledging the need for intergenerational connections that benefit both parties.

Older Women Were Asked To Share Something That Young Women Do That Puzzles Them, And 30 Didn't Hold Back They are SO good at makeup. I don’t know if it’s because they have better products, the availability of tutorial videos or both but they all look amazing and we were walking around with orange faces and smudged eyeliner. Not gonna lie I’m a little jealous

Edit: so many bitter people in these replies!
Makeup is a hobby. It might not be one that you enjoy but that doesn’t invalidate it.

We should respect and uplift all women and however they choose to express themselves, wether it’s by wearing makeup and miniskirts or carhartts and axel grease.

It's the tutorials! I used to be terrible at make-up, but there are SO many tutorials with step-by-step instructions, including which colours look good on which skin types, how to apply make-up, how to care for your skin, which products to use, which ingredients to look out for... a year after casually watching these tutorials, I think I've gotten pretty good. It makes things so much easier.

Older Women Were Asked To Share Something That Young Women Do That Puzzles Them, And 30 Didn't Hold Back Posting non stop content and then caring so much about what strangers say about them online.

This point! If you share online, I assume you are aware that you will get any type of responses. I think most people post carelessly without thinking first if they are mentally prepared to deal with whatever comes with it. My brother's girlfriend is an example. She likes to post pictures of her naked body (covering breast and crotch areas) for "body positivism". But then she gets very angry and upset when people send her negative feedback or sexual comments. She even posted a video of herself crying on how these comments upset her. I don't know...if the expectation is to only get likes and compliments, then not sure on which planet they are living. Would be nice, yes, but... well... if you have the freedom to post your body another person has the freedom to say "I don't like this".

Influencers and those who are influenced by them. It drives me crazy! So many of these influencers are just narcissistic idiots who really don’t know anything but if they are pretty and talk a good game, people follow them and believe in their “brand”.

Why the need for 5 parties, 2 wedding dresses, B and C lists, and numerous other demands… just to get married.

Like, just get married. It’s not that complicated. Save the money (and more importantly, your guests’ and bridal party’s money) for something that will actually mean something - charity, home down payment, personal enrichment in classes or travel… whatever, the sky is the limit. Spare yourself the time and stress of going overboard to follow the new cultural norms.

*Traditional, generational customs need not apply… though maybe they should be questioned and re-examined.

The whole "Van life is so glamorous, look at me sipping my coffee sitting in the back of my van in front of the sunrise" thing is WAY overrated and very, very fake.

I am annoyed by the 90s high-water jeans paired with the ugliest sneakers ever. I have never understood fashion because I come from a poor family and I wore what my parents could afford to buy me. This included jeans that eventually were too short for me. I was bullied for my short pants.

One is the weird obsession with knowing where their partners is at all times, one girl threw a mini fit because her partners Snapchat location wasn't on and she was scarily angry about it

And the weird glorification I've seen about being 'psycho' is such a weird red flag. Amount of them boasting about borderline mentally abusive things or acts they do to their partners is f*****g WILD and frankly scares me a little

Older Women Were Asked To Share Something That Young Women Do That Puzzles Them, And 30 Didn't Hold Back I am 50. I am actually amazed by young women's self confidence. So many of the amazing young adults I meet through my kids just scream self confidence. I still feel insecure at 50. Maybe it is because since they could be online everyone had an opinion on them and they had to learn just not to care. But so many of them, even if it is not there fake that self confidence.

I have said I wanted to be my middle child when I grew up her whole life. She is just fierce. She makes no excuses for who she is. She is amazing. And her life is not always easy. She just handles the world like it is hers to be handled. And I watch the same thing from her brother, her sister and about every one they know. They kind of give me hope the world is getting better.

I was laughing at my 12 yo great niece. I have taken care of her since she was 9 months old. She does competition cheer. But the faces she makes. Wow. Straight fierce. That's what I wanna be when I grow up.

Background: I’m 40, so an older millennial, and one thing I’ve noticed in the workplace is how damn impressed boomers are with excellent Excel skills. It’s something I’ve always laughed about because it’s such a basic skill and older folks always fawn all over my excel sheets.

Then we got a Gen Z employee who simply said she could quickly code a program in an afternoon to meet several of the needs that our excel sheets were meeting.

Even as someone who has some basic understanding and experience of Stata and R Studio (just a couple of grad level courses for non practitioners) I have no idea what the f**k she did or how she did it. She just laughed at my awe.

I am now becoming that person who is impressed with skills that the next generation finds very basic.

edit: wow, reading through this thread is like a primer on internalized misogyny. I’m really saddened by all the older women who are expressing displeasure about young women’s bodies and looks. Just let them be, for f**k’s sake, and try to teach them what you’ve learned and learn what you don’t understand from them.

Not appreciating how feminism has improved all of society’s choices (not just women's) and not standing in support of the continuing work.

Young conservative women - just, why?

E: Correction. Thanks for the gold!

I never understand a woman or black person who votes Republican, it's like... do you have stockholm syndrome? These people would like you back in the kitchen and cotton fields. VOTE THEM OUT EVERY TIME.

I don't know how common it is, but I see a lot of posts on Reddit from women who live with deadbeat partners who play video games all day and smoke weed. They may work a bit or not, but the women are largely responsible for their financial situation. Why would women who make enough money to support themselves alone subject themselves to that?

AGREED! Though I'm starting the think they seek these relationships out for the "martyr clout" on social media

I just hate everything about birth control in most forms. Either it’s hormonal or uncomfortable. VCF is the only practical solution or sometimes sponges. I’ve still got like another 8-ish years before I age out of needing to worry.

I don't understand why girls want to inflate their lips. Also girls with pointy long fingernails who have babies. I remember having an aunty with long fingernails and I used to hate holding her hand when I was tiny.

Wearing the awful, unflattering mom jeans that MY deeply unstylish 1980s mother looked frumpy in.

Especially the khaki ones. Very frumpy but I think frumpy is in style to some of them.

Well done makeup including contouring. I am an old hag and NEVER mastered the art and now it seems like everyone is able to do it and no matter what I still look like a rodeo clown if I try. Young women who are into it seem to watch a couple of videos and become total artists. Beginner tutorial: find the right shade… Aaaaand I’m done.

I didn't learn until my 20s; I went to the makeup counter at the military exchange and the gal working there basically taught me how to choose shades/colors, how to apply them, etc. We're still friends years later :)

The performative nature of everything. Ask someone to a dance? Have signs and cameras filming and gifts….they film everything. It’s insane. There’s no concept of privacy or events being just for them and their loved one(s). It’s like it’s all a movie or play put on for the world to see 100% of the time. They don’t seem to live their lives for themselves but for followers. It’s really sad.

Sending nudes to a guy online or sending him texts/DM's revealing intimate information they don't even know simply because the guy asked. Don't do it! There are so many male influencers and social media "stars" being exposed as creeps for getting young women to send nudes or mention personal info and then doxxing them or doing revenge porn.

Dating apps, wanting a relationship but feeling obligated to have sex quickly ("because how else will you get to know each other and be in a relationship"), and lip fillers just hardly ever look good. Oh, and the flaired pants being back in, especially when it's just like a black legging material and the bottoms are fraying from dragging on the floor, reminds me of when I was a dorky 13 year old

Meh to complaining about easy sex. Sex isn't a big deal unless you're a far-right christian Handmaid. F**k that. If you want to have sex go ahead. Really this stigmatisation is so medieval it is scary.

Following people on social media that just make them feel bad about themselves. Comparing yourself to a highly curated & filtered persona is so damaging to self-esteem.

Giving too much information out.

I notice a lot of younger women are more lenient about being disrespected by their partners. Accepting it as a person just telling their TRUTH, however not understanding a person can be truthful without being an A-hole

I'm a Visual Editor for Bored Panda. I’m also an analog collage artist. My love for images and experience in layering goes well with both creating collages by hand and working with digital images as an Editor. When I’m not using my kitchen area as an art studio I also do various experiments making my own cosmetics or brewing kombucha. When I’m not at home you would most definitely find me attending a concert or walking my dog.

Why do we pit one group of women against another like this? We don't have articles about why younger men think older men are horrible, do we?

I think you may be reading this wrong. Most of these posts that weren't light-hearted were people worrying about the younger women, not criticizing or judging them.

each generation has its thing. Internalised misogyny is a thing. Stop hating women for doing what they want to do. As long as they are not voluntarily submitting themselves to Republicans/Taliban/Gender Based Violence, it's fine.
