Woman on TikTok asks friends why they love their current partner, contrasting dating standards: 'Ladies, y'all deserve better'
A woman asked her guy friends for the reasons theyâre with their current partners to turn their responses into ironic âinspirational quotesâ â the results ended up highlighting the stark differences between womenâs and menâs dating standards.
TikToker Whitney shared the following clip to reveal her male friendsâ answers. Her TikTok uses Jojiâs song, âGlimpse of Us,â as the background sound.

Highlights include:
âSheâs hot. And she does my laundry.â
âUh idk we connect really well.â
âUmm.. I took her home one night and she never really left. LOL.â
âThe bar is so low,â Whitney wrote in the caption.
Viewers found Whitneyâs video idea hilarious. The juxtaposition of the inspirational photo editing with the subpar quotes highlighted the difference between womenâs and menâs dating standards and communication skills.
âItâs like asking kindergarteners why they love their parents,â a TikToker joked.
âIf someone said âsheâs hot and she does my laundryâ as their reason for dating me, I would go to war,â another said.
âI love how outside of being hot, itâs nothing about the girls themselves, itâs what they do for the guys,â one person noted.
A TikToker also challenged Whitney to ask her friendsâ girlfriends the same question, and she delivered. The difference in quality within the girlfriendsâ responses was jarring â Whitney noted that each girlfriendâs quote comes up in the same order as their boyfriendâs in the last video.
The womenâs answers included:
âHeâs a great listener. He always makes me smile. We have the same life goals and challenge each other to achieve them. Heâs just a fun positive guy to be around & I feel really lucky.â
âI didnât like him at first, but then I realized how compatible we were. He makes every thing in life more enjoyable.â
âHis butt. JK. Heâs easy to love. Heâs taught me what really matters, and he has a big heart. I can see him being a great husband and dad one day.â
TikTok users were saddened as they compared the womenâs answers to their boyfriendsâ.
âThe DIFFERENCE. The bar is absolutely on the floor,â a TikToker said. âLadies, yâall deserve better, omg.â
âWell, this was soul-crushing to read after the first one,â someone else wrote.
âI really hope this is just bc the guys didnât feel comfortable opening up. Otherwise, holy hell,â another chimed in.
