Is Having A Boyfriend Embarrassing Now?

I saw this article on Vogue. The headline says, is having a boyfriend embarrassing? Now, I think in online media especially, but all media, there's a romanticization of the independent, feminine, strong woman. And I think a lot of that is really positive. But I also think it's created a culture where women are encouraged to kind of be one striker out as a man, oh, he doesn't get along with his parents. Red flag. Like, every yellow or magenta flag is a red flag. And you're this strong, independent, beautiful woman, and you don't need a man. And whenever I ask for dating advice, the first thing I ask is, would you want to have sex with you? Are you in shape? Do you have a plan? Are you kind? Do you demonstrate artisanship and interest in different things? You know, how do you demonstrate excellence? And the advice I would give to women is what I call suckling coffee. And that is, I think women are celebrated for exiting relationships. You know, inspiring Carly Simon songs about walking out on that man, and you'd don't need a man. And when men are asked, if a woman had 80% of everything you want, would that suffice for you? 75% of men say, yeah, that'd be great. When women presented with the same metric, 80% of everything you want, 75% say, that's not enough. The solve is for men to level up. Yes. But if you look at the content of what algorithms like, it's a lot of women saying, six feet six figures. Like, that's not a lot to ask. Right? Six feet, six figures. If you take out married men, obese men over the age of 50, it's 2% of the population. And if you talk to people who've been married longer than 30 years, 80% of them say one was much more interested in the beginning than the other, and it was almost always the man. The reality is, Liz, were less choosy.
