Let’s be honest, dating feels different now 😭
After Vogue’s published the infamous “Is Having a Boyfriend Embarrassing?” and it blew up online, I had to sit down and talk about it, so cue the very spontaneous and unscripted video... enjoy!
It’s not that having a boyfriend is embarrassing, it’s having a low-effort boyfriend that is.I'm sure we can all agree, right?
The kind who forgets your birthday, doesn’t plan dates, or treats emotional effort like a chore.
That’s what women are calling out, not love itself.In this video, I unpack why so many women are frustrated, why men feel attacked, and how social media turned relationships into a status game.
We talk about the expectation gap between men and women, how independence and emotional labor are reshaping dating, and why a healthy, reciprocal relationship has become the new flex.
If you’ve ever felt disillusioned by modern dating culture, this conversation is for you.
Let me know in the comments:
- Do you think having a boyfriend is embarrassing in 2025?
- Or are we just tired of settling for less?
