If spending 20 minutes on Tinder isn’t enough to dissuade you from dating, and you actually find someone you enjoy spending time with, you’ll still encounter some obstacles. It’s not so much an age gap or a gender gap as much as it’s, well, complicated, for lack of a less Facebook-y term.
Well, this guy has the scoop for any guys confused by their girl’s 21st century complications. As he says, he’s “teaching 20th century dudes to deal with all her moods.”

I don’t know for sure if millennial girls are a different breed of girlfriend, but Trey Kennedy sure seems to think so.
The comedian and online entertainer put up an explainer on social media that lays out the things guys need to do to keep their Millennial girlfriends happy, and honestly, it’s as helpful as it is hilarious.
He calls it “Millennial Boyfriend School.” Guys should be taking notes because Trey has the goods.
First up: her blog.
“You’ve gotta read it,” he says. “You thought the sucky reading was done in school? It’s just getting started. You will learn, or else you’ll suck-ulent.”
Which brings us right into puns. “Girls love puns,” he says. “They make her laugh-odil.”
For all those who think they’re the only man in your girlfriend’s life, Trey has a reminder of two others: Ben and Jerry.
“Stock up on it,” he says, “and when all else fails, remember, ‘When she’s in a dark place, dark chocolate in her face.'” Ice cream therapy is real!
He’s got all the little sayings that can come in handy in times of need.
“Fellas, those girlfriends are a lot like pets, if you feed them a few specific things, they’ll be happy. Remember this acronym: SPIRIT. Sushi, Pizza, Ice Cream, Rose, Iced Coffee, and Tacos.”
Obviously, your girl might disagree on the specifics, but it’s important to know her faves.
Where do you find out her faves, just in case you’re not sure? She’s putting it all out there on Pinterest.
“There’s not a better study guide on your girl than Pinterest,” he says. “Think Pin-ter-est, buy-me-this…Look at her boards, win awards.”
On vacations, you’re not her strictly her boyfriend anymore, Trey warns. You’re her photographer now.
“The more photos are taken, she’s gonna be happier, while yours negatively correlates.” You have to get used to the reality that you’re not going to meet in the middle there, he says.
And he has some sage advice when you’re sharing TV time with your Millennial gf.
“Any Bachelor fans in the house? All of your hands should be raised, because you will be. And if she asks if any of the girls on the show are pretty, remember this: Play dumb, save your bum. It’s that easy, guys.”
At the end, Trey admits that although the video was a joke, he feels like the Pinterest tips are actually pretty helpful.
Honestly, I think the SPIRIT thing was on point as well. I know Ben & Jerry have some dedicated space in our freezer!
