12 Ways You Know He's The Perfect Millennial Gentleman

If his pockets are filled with cash and not fidget spinners, I don't want to date him.

12 Ways You Know He's The Perfect Millennial Gentleman

It's 2017 and I've written about dating culture so much I think my Facebook friends hate me.

However, I have yet to write much about millennials (does anyone else hate this word and also how "millennial pink" is a thing??) and dating. I've read sporadic articles about how ~casual dating~ is in, millennials don't care about sexual orientation or gender identity very much and even some weird articles about people marrying themselves.

It's strange, as there haven't been many articles about Millennial Gentleman™. I'm talking about chivalry not being dead, your man putting down his phone to speak to you face-to-face.

Find some of what I think to be prime Millennial Gentleman™ attributes you need to find in a partner soon.

1. He lets you use his fidget spinner when yours breaks.

Thankfully you've got a man who knows what it means to care about another person.

2. He tweets about you looking like a snack.

When Twitter user @cybersygh tweeted about calling girls snacks, it started a revolution. Previously, people were calling girls glazed donuts due to makeup causing that glow. Now, boys are calling girls grilled cheese - how cute.

3. He unfollows his booty calls on Instagram.

The kindest thing a guy could ever do for you.

4. He shares the aux cord with you.

He wouldn't be dating you if he didn't believe your music taste is impeccable, would he?

5. He sends you pictures of dogs.

It's like Dogspotting but instead of a Facebook group, it's the details part of your iMessage thread.

6. He buys two pizzas: one for you, one for him.

Sharing food?? Why do that? Bonus points for garlic knots.

7. He gives you the WiFi password on the first date.

He understands the pain of having 10% of data left with 7 days to go in your billing cycle *swoon*. And since he cares for you, giving you the password is no big deal.

8. He gets you nuggets.

I'm not talking diamonds because millennials aren't buying them, according to this article. Uh, sorry that my current job is being a babysitter??

9. He sends you dank memes.

If he doesn't do this, break up with him immediately. Is he even a real millennial??

10. He offers to take an Insta-worthy picture of you, before you even ask.

The lighting is perfect, the mural you're standing in front of is so trendy and he has an iPhone 7 Plus with portrait mode...you've taught him so well.

11. He lets you use his Hulu account.

No one has Hulu and you can finally watch the rest of "Community"!!! This is true intimacy.

12. He turns his phone on silent whenever he's with you.

There's nothing worse than someone you're with looking at their phone all the time. For you, he'd do anything and keep the phone on silent to pay attention to everything you're saying.


Whoever and whatever your man does, as long as he respects you and cares for you, then he really is a perfect millennial gentleman.

If he needs help, a quick Google search of "millennial gentleman" brings up a blog about a guy going through life "in the most gentlemanly manner possible". Maybe that will help.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
