  We should have never hyped boyfriends up so much in the first place.

  In my case, I’m not posting my boyfriend on social media because I want a quiet and private love life. I don’t have the feel to need to post him just to prove that I’m in a happy relationship.

  It is embarrassing. &nbsp;Because here I am all happy and giddy about my man, just for him to later cheat on me, treat me badly, or never think about marriage after 5+ years together. &nbsp;It&apos;s hella embarrassing. &nbsp;I&apos;ve lived through it. <br><br>Yes I am now choosing better, being better, and moving better. And that might mean not posting my man all over.

  Having a boyfriend is not embarrassing. Making your whole persona about him and pedestalizing a mid unremarkable man is the part thats cringe. I literally had an ex friend that did this and when i told her i didn’t like sitting there listening to her talk about her man 24/7 she told me that i needed to expect her to bitch about her man and for me to be there for her. Thank god shes no longer in my life.

  Like Miranda in the early SATC season: &quot;CAN&apos;T WE TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BESIDES BOYS!!?!?!&quot;

  I used to feel bad about not ever having a boyfriend, because I’m 22, but the more I observed and listened most people have been traumatized by a man they’re dating. <br><br>I almost feel like I dodged a bullet.

  If a man is uplifting you, bringing positive things to your life and you both are on same page as to what you want, values, etc, YES by all means date/be in a relationship.

  honestly, being in a relationship 99 percent makes our lives harder. yes i love men, yes there was time where i wanted to sacrifice everything for a man (and did) but since not getting into any type of relationship(almost 2 years) i became so succesfull and grew so much as a person that ı could never imagine before. so in conclusion i love this trend hahahha

  I genuinely don&apos;t want a boyfriend, but I also don&apos;t shame others for wanting/having a boyfriend. To each their own.

  Unpopular opinion: finding boyfriends embarrasing is a recession indicator for a male centered view, &nbsp;but it could be a step forward in a more female centered perspective. Like, in a balanced way. It could be viewed as progressive because it is not like centuries before us were finding a man to survive was the bane of a woman&apos;s existence.
