When to Use City Boy Memes

Situation

Your friend just sent a screenshot of them declining a date because they're 'focusing on themselves.' Classic city boy behavior.

Why It Works

Drop the City Boy meme. It's the perfect way to call out emotionally unavailable behavior without typing a paragraph. Everyone in the chat immediately knows what you mean.

How to Use It

Screenshot the offending message. Make a City Boy meme with text like 'When she asks to be official' or just drop the classic Deputy Durland image. Send it to the group chat. Watch the laughing emojis roll in.

Pro Tips

Timing is everything - send it immediately after the city boy behavior happens. Don't overuse it in the same chat or it loses impact. Works best when the person actually deserves to be called out.

Situation

You're swiping through dating apps and see yet another bio that says 'not looking for anything serious' or 'just seeing where things go.'

Why It Works

Send the meme to your friends who are also on the apps. It's the universal language for 'another one.' Validates your frustration and makes the whole situation funnier.

How to Use It

Screenshot the questionable bio. Open our meme generator. Add text like 'His bio says casual vibes only' or 'Tell Yo Mama I Loved Her Cooking.' Send to your dating app support group chat.

Pro Tips

Don't actually send it to the person on the dating app (that's weird). Keep it in your friend group where people get the joke. Perfect for commiserating with friends about modern dating.

Situation

You're watching a TikTok where a guy is being dismissive, aloof, or displaying peak city boy energy. You need the perfect comment.

Why It Works

The City Boy meme is basically the official comment for these videos. It's instantly recognizable and other commenters will back you up with more City Boy references.

How to Use It

Watch TikTok video of city boy behavior. Make a City Boy meme that captures the specific moment. Post it as a video reply or comment 'city boy city boy.' Collect your likes.

Pro Tips

Video replies get more engagement than text comments. If the original video has audio, time your meme to sync with the most city boy moment. Join the trend when it's actively viral for maximum reach.

Situation

Your ex texts you 'wyd' at 2am six months after they ended things. You could type out a long response about boundaries, or...

Why It Works

Send them a City Boy meme. It says everything you need to say: you see what they're doing, you're not falling for it, and you're mocking them for trying. Perfect closure.

How to Use It

Screenshot their text (optional, for the group chat later). Make a meme with their exact message or something like 'When he texts wyd after ghosting.' Send it directly to them or post it to your story. Block if necessary.

Pro Tips

This is peak petty energy - make sure you're actually over them before doing this. Your friends will love it more than your ex will. Consider posting to your story instead of sending directly for maximum impact.

Situation

Someone tweets something objectively terrible about relationships, like defending ghosting or saying communication is overrated.

Why It Works

Quote tweet with a City Boy meme. It's more effective than a written response because it immediately frames them as the joke. Other users will pile on.

How to Use It

Find the bad take on Twitter. Make a City Boy meme with text that highlights the worst part of their tweet. Quote tweet with the meme. Watch your ratio exceed their original tweet.

Pro Tips

Don't be mean to random people - save this for actually bad takes. The meme is funnier than adding extra commentary. If it goes viral, don't engage with angry replies.

Situation

Someone in your Discord says something incredibly city boy - like bragging about having multiple situationships or refusing to define relationships.

Why It Works

Post the City Boy meme as an immediate reaction. It's more impactful than 'lol' or typing out a roast. The whole server will understand instantly.

How to Use It

Wait for city boy behavior in Discord. Use our generator to make a custom meme referencing what they said. Upload it directly to the channel. Optionally add ':cityboy:' if your server has the emoji.

Pro Tips

Make a custom City Boy emoji for your server so you can spam it. Save a few generic City Boy memes for quick posting. Works especially well in dating advice or venting channels.

Situation

You're in r/relationship_advice or r/dating and someone's describing textbook city boy behavior but doesn't realize it.

Why It Works

Comment with a City Boy meme. It gently (or not so gently) helps them see the pattern. Other Redditors will upvote because they see it too.

How to Use It

Read the post about dismissive behavior, breadcrumbing, or situationship drama. Make a meme that applies to their specific situation. Post it as a comment with something like 'OP, I hate to tell you this but...'

Pro Tips

Reddit appreciates specificity - customize the text to their exact situation. Link to Know Your Meme if they don't get the reference. Be prepared for 'Thank you, I needed to hear this' responses.

Situation

Someone posts a story about how they're 'not ready to commit' right after posting couple content for months. The audacity.

Why It Works

Reply to their story with the City Boy meme. They'll get the message. Your close friends will see it if you repost it. Everyone wins except them.

How to Use It

See the offending Instagram story. Make a City Boy meme calling out the specific behavior. Reply directly to their story or repost to yours with commentary. Let them know you see through it.

Pro Tips

Only do this if you're actually friends or if they won't take it seriously. Your close friends list will eat this up. Consider the fallout before sending - some people can't take a joke.

Situation

Your friend is actively being a city boy - ghosting people, breadcrumbing, refusing to communicate. They need to know.

Why It Works

Send them a City Boy meme about their own behavior. It's a callout that's funny enough they can't get mad. Plants the seed that maybe they're the problem.

How to Use It

Witness your friend's city boy behavior firsthand. Create a meme that mirrors exactly what they're doing. Send it in your DMs with 'this you?' Watch them defend themselves or (rarely) self-reflect.

Pro Tips

Only works if you're actually close friends. Expect them to deny it initially. Follow up with specific examples if they don't get it. Sometimes people need to see themselves as the meme.

Situation

Your cousin/brother/nephew is displaying city boy behavior and the whole family group chat is watching. Someone needs to say something.

Why It Works

Be the hero. Drop the City Boy meme. Your aunts might not get it but everyone under 30 will appreciate you calling it out.

How to Use It

Wait for city boy behavior discussion in family chat. Make a meme with family-friendly text. Post it with '😂' to keep it light. Explain the meme to confused relatives.

Pro Tips

Keep it PG for family contexts. Be ready to explain Gravity Falls to your parents. This is how Gen Z shames city boy behavior at family gatherings. Your siblings will thank you.

Situation

You're watching a dating advice video or podcast clip where someone's describing clear city boy behavior.

Why It Works

Comment 'city boy city boy' or post a City Boy meme as a reply. Other viewers who get the reference will like your comment to the top.

How to Use It

Watch video about dating red flags or situationships. Timestamp the city boy moment. Make a meme with the exact quote or post 'city boy! city boy!' comment. Get top comment.

Pro Tips

Timestamp your comment for longer videos. Reference specific quotes from the video. YouTube's algorithm loves engagement - your meme comment might blow up.

Situation

You want to post about your journey away from city boy behavior or call out your past self.

Why It Works

Use the City Boy meme to acknowledge your past mistakes with humor. Shows self-awareness and growth while still being funny.

How to Use It

Reflect on your former city boy ways. Make a meme like 'Me in 2023 vs Me now' or 'Things I said before therapy.' Post to your story or feed. Accept congratulations on your growth.

Pro Tips

Self-aware city boy memes hit different - people respect the honesty. Don't do this unless you've actually changed. Works great for 'glow up' content. Your ex will definitely see this and think about it.
