Mod Post Just a reminder, gender war posts are banned.
It’s been over a year since we banned gender war posts, and after monitoring the community, we’ve decided to keep the ban in place, as these discussions continue to be just as toxic as they were a year ago.
For clarity, “gender war” content includes discussions such as male loneliness, Gen Z men approaching Gen Z women, incels, femcels, alpha males, Andrew Tate, red pill, black pill, purple pill content, men’s height discourse, age-gap dating, and broader “looks-based” or hierarchy discussions about dating, looks maxing or ranking people by attractiveness or dating value.
This also includes broader dating ideology content that frames relationships in an adversarial, or fatalistic way.
For example: men vs women narratives, claims that one gender is universally responsible for dating issues, or that dating is inherently doomed for a specific group. Generalizations that treat either gender as a monolith are not allowed.
Memes about these topics, posts complaining about dating, and rage-bait content taken from other platforms such as screenshots from TikTok or Twitter that exist primarily to provoke gender-based arguments.
This is not a dating-focused subreddit. If you want to vent or discuss Gen Z dating issues more broadly, please use communities such as [r/dating_advice](r/dating_advice) or [r/dating](r/dating).
That said, posts about dating are still allowed as long as they are made in good faith. If comment sections become hostile or devolve into rule-breaking behavior, posts may be locked or removed at moderator discretion.
Please respect and follow this rule moving forward.

Discussion This article says more teens and young women are buying into the tradwife thing. Are you actually seeing that with Gen Z, or is this mostly journalists finding a few viral influencers and pretending it’s a generational trend?
I don’t understand the appeal of the tradwife thing, but I’m curious how much of this is actually happening among Gen Z. Are more young women actually interested in it or just a relatively small number of influencers getting enough attention that it looks like a much bigger cultural shift than it really is?

Discussion How do you guys live?
I go to work then fall asleep. I don’t even have energy to make it to the bed usually I just sleep on the floor. I don’t brush my teeth beforehand either I just don’t have the energy. Then I wake up workout shower and all that and go to work rinse repeat. On weekends I’m tired from getting up early so I don’t do anything then I go back to work.
I don’t know how I’m expected to live like this for another 40 years it’s already been 5 and I feel dead inside. I can already see people saying come back in 15 years you’ll be used to it that sounds horrible I feel sorry for you guys. If that’s the future what is even the point? And the little “happy” moments in between isn’t enough to make this enjoyable

Discussion "i wish i was a teenager in 2020"
there's no way my life is now nostalgic. i turned 13 in 2020, so i may not all the way be included, but why are people nostalgic over something that happened...not even too long ago? a teen during covid??

Discussion Question: What is love to you?
I’m 22f and I’ve never been in a relationship before. I’ve never even held hands with a dude, so I can understand if my view of what love is defined as is wrong.
I came across this TikTok where this girl was talking about how pure love may not exist and it got me thinking about what love looks like to different people.
To put it simply: I think love is the effort to communicate and a willingness to see your partner happy and safe.
But honestly social media is making me feel like this view may be a bit naive and that things should be more transactional.

Discussion Listening to music
I'm wondering if members of Gen Z listen to music as an active activity. As in, just put on music and sit back and listen to it without doing something else. for at least 10 minutes. no phone scrolling or whatever else - no background listen.
