## Resource

The viral British Vogue article “Is It Embarrassing To Have a Boyfriend?” has taken over TikTok and started a huge debate about modern relationships, gender roles, and why Gen Z suddenly feels weird about being in a public relationship. In this video, I break down why women feel this way, the epidemic of loneliness, and what it says about dating culture in 2025.What's even more interesting to me is how this discourse has evolved on the internet. From TikTok commentary to feminist think pieces, this conversation has sparked a wide debate on female independence, relationship advice, what it means to be a single girl, and why dating is so difficult for Gen Z.So… is having a boyfriend actually embarrassing now, or is this just another moment in online discourse?0:00 - Intro2:28 - Thank You xx4:05 - Chante Joseph's British Vogue Article8:56 - Single vs Married 12:48 - Why are women tired of men?17:23 - My theories on female dissatisfaction20:17 - Male vs Female Friendships23:38 - The Affordability Crisis24:40 - Male vs Female Cultural Divide28:45 - I don't think it's embarassing...32:30 - Critiques#videoessay #britishvogue #singlegirl
