Gen Z woman floored by 35-year-old man’s text after first date

“Is he a bad texter, or is he over 35?”

Elizabeth Castaldi, a popular US creator, has sparked a viral discussion about the generation gap in texting when it comes to dating.

Castaldi, 27, recently went on a date with a 35-year-old man and she was baffled by the text he sent her the next day.

“Hey, had fun last night. Have a good day,” the man texted.

Then, in true Generation Z fashion, Castaldi took that private message, screenshotted it and posted it online, where it has amassed more than 500,000 views.



She added the caption: “I have to start dating people my own age. But I won’t.”

Castaldi’s confusion at the text message firmly divided the comment section.

Some thought she was being accurate and he was texting like a millennial, while others thought she was being unfair and the text she received wasn’t out of the ordinary.

“I’m confused how is this bad?” one person asked.

Castaldi replied that she didn’t have the “ick” by his formal text message, but his millennial texting style made her unable to tell if he wanted to see her again.



“Let’s be clear, I do not have the ick. I just can’t read him and I really, really want to go on a second date,” she wrote.

Someone else replied and said the problem with the 35-year-old’s text is that it was too sterile.

“It lacks any sense of enthusiasm, urgency, or intimacy. He could have written that to someone at work about a work function,” she explained.

A man replied to that woman’s theory and said her analysis of the message was immature.

“I just think it’s ridiculous that we’re sitting here [criticizing] this simple yet nice text. Would you prefer exclamation points and emojis? Like they’re grown adults,” he argued.

Lots of people were in favor of his formal texting style.

It had just come to their attention that Gen Z women don’t understand formal written text messages with zero abbreviations.

One wrote: “Can I please get an example to improve this situation? I am guilty of this.”

“If he texts like my dad, it is a green flag,” one claimed.

“This is the text you send when you’re not trying to simp too much at first,” another wrote.

“I bet it took him hours to come up with this,” one joked.

Other men were commenting on the video to ask for advice on how to text their dates better.

“Can I ask what it should say, because I definitely say the same thing? I’m 35,” another pleaded.

“For us, 35 plus, can you advise how to [color] it up? Emojis and exclamations?” one asked.

Castaldi responded by saying that emojis and asking for another date were the keys to nailing a post-date text.



Meanwhile, young women also shared that they were in the same boat, dating men in their 30s and being confused by their texts.

“I’m trying to decipher a 37-year-old’s texts right now … so it’s not just me?” one said.

“Had a 35-year-old tell me it was ‘great to connect’ and we should ‘stay in touch’ after a date,” another added.

“Dude its painful! Tragic! Confusing! Lonely at the same time,” another joked.

“Had to check what state you’re in to make sure we’re not talking about the same 35-year- old,” one person wrote.

That's what's up bro.

[sf813]

These sloots will do anything for attention and make up some controversy to gain followers

Always making a mountain out of an ant hill on purpose

[frankdtank20]

Not reading all of that but I can see there's overreaction to a plain text. Feminization of media and an entire generation.

[JT11RTR]

I'm not a faqqot so I don't use emojis

Which miscer did this?

None of them said "Do you like daggers?"

[sabusake]

if he would have sent emojis, then she'd be making fun of him for that

if I like a girl i'd tell it to her directly, then ask her out or not ask her out next... gen Z gonna zeeee LOL waste half your life playing stupid games to win stupid prizes

[fuzzysoup]

dude probably didn't know what else to say

[markkillerings]

You can tell she's gonna be a whale in a few years.

[stevemckenna]

She added the caption: “I have to start dating people my own age. But I won’t.”

No, she can't. She's 27 going on 40. She looks worn out. Majority of 27 year old men are going to look younger than her.

[ipunchurgirl]

That’s what he gets for dating an old washed up sloot

[ElonFan96]

I cannot stand these fukin dikheads screenshotting everything And uploading it to the internet

If it’s posted in your personal friend group thats fine, but On The internet is fukin weird

[TryingMen]

Women are easily confused like a child. This is why I prefer to just not text them at all. Don't wanna confuse them.

[BigDeeps01]

Hey, had fun reading this thread OP. Have a good day

[wasp9166]

Lose some weight cow

You don't like how I act ,fuk off

This bish makes an issue out of nothing

Imagine dating this bish ,the bs you'd have to put up with

[Omnivium]

There's no story here. Literally nothing happened. It's just another sloot trying to advertise her stupid selfies

[Adam16121]

It was generic. He showed just the right amount of disinterest to live rent free in her head until the next date. Probably unintentional too. He was likely legitimately disinterested, considering the pictures. It may have just been a courtesy text.

[GaloisTheory]

Jesus, imagine sending such a beta text to a sloot at all, let alone to her first.

I hope you boyos aren't doing this.

[lockdev]

Bish 27 looking 45. Another year and the sloot will only be able to date the jerry hat tricks.

[johnnydeep1]

She looks 35 herself.

[elterrible987]

shes almost 28 years old and acting like shes a teenager or college student, shes a grown ass women, 50 years ago she would be married with a 10 year old at that age.

what the fuk is wrong with these sloots. bitch you aint young, grow up

[bsrkoacar2]

Seriously why I stopped dating gen z sloots. They are retarded

[LuigiMiami631]

Hey, had fun reading this thread OP. Have a good day

Bro, that is like so 35 talk right there.

Seriously why I stopped dating gen z sloots. They are retarded

Yup, pain in the ass. But man some of these Gen Z women that I have see have some beautiful looking legs that I can't resist.

No dating, just a one time fling and that's it.
