Whether it's IG, Tik-Tok or wherever, I'm starting to see a lot of couples that make me scratch my head. It is specifically the type of women who you would normally see with a very masculine dude, but instead they are with baby-faced nerdy guys who look 5 years younger than the girl they are with - normally the kind of dude you would see as one of their really close orbiters.
Don't get me wrong, I have zero problem with it (I'm doing just fine and I'm happy for the dudes), and this isn't a rant of any kind, it's just........ odd, because it is counter to what I've seen my entire life. The reason I'm even making this post is to get thoughts on whether there is some new trend going on with the early 20's set that runs counter to what's been happening for, uh, thousands of years. I will say that I only see this on social media and not in real life but I also don't spend any time around high-school or college age kids, so it might be happening around there. My only other thought is that they aren't really couples but are just posing that way for attention. But back in my HS/college time, women would never pose with a dude like this as it would be social suicide.
Just two of many examples:
