Anwar White says do nothing when a guy asks for too much early on. The IKEA effect means you'll feel more attached the more you invest, making it harder to leave. Don't become "Ikea girl" or "Wayfair."
My homegirl said, these black men I'm dating are always wanting me to do so much early on. Do nothing.
Do nothing.
The reason why you want to do nothing is there's such a thing called the IKEA effect. And the IKEA effect is, is.
If you've ever gotten any, like, furniture from Ikea, you have to build it yourself. And what they have, what they have researched and what they have learned is that people are holding on to IKEA furniture so much longer than other furniture, and it is because you have invested into it, it makes it harder to let it go. So when you are dating, I don't want you to invest anything into these men so that you can let them go easily. If you are calling and texting, the effort that you're putting in will trick your brain into thinking that you like him more and that he likes you more. And that's when you play yourself.
Do you hear me, ladies?
Don't be Ikea girl.
Also, don't be Wayfair.
Yeah.
Good.
So we do nothing.
