This theory might just unveil why guys and gals handle relationships so differently. If you’ve been scratching your head about why your love life hasn’t been all sunshine and rainbows, this theory could spill the beans on that quirky world of romance.
So, get ready to have your mind blown as we dive into the ‘zero dating theory’ and unravel the mysteries of love in a whole new way!
Podcast hosts Hannah Berner and Paige DeSorbo shared a new dating theory on their Giggly Squad podcast. According to Hannah, the theory suggests that men start dating from zero, where the person they are dating begins with a blank slate and has to build up to earn their interest.
“Oh my God. I have a new dating theory,” she said. “I can’t credit the right person but it was not from me, it was someone on TikTok, that men date from zero.”
On the other hand, women supposedly start dating from 100, perceiving the person as perfect initially and then discovering their flaws over time. Hannah expressed agreement with the theory, stating it accurately reflects her experiences.
“We meet you and we go, ‘You are perfect’, and then we realise all the things that gets you down,” Hannah added. “I’ve never heard anything more f**king accurate.”
Paige added to the conversation, stating, “We go in reverse order! If I’m meeting you, I’ve already thought in my head what your personality is like, what your family is like, what you dress like, what our life is going to be like together, and then I meet you, and you’re none of those things because, obviously, that’s insane. I made them up in my head.”
Hannah continued, “Where men, I guess, don’t make stuff up in their head. I would always go into dates with men being 100. I’d be like ‘He’s perfect,’ and then sometimes he’ll even do not perfect things and you’ll be like, ‘Oh, just I’ll deduct two points, I’ll just deduct one.’ That’s girl math.”
The video has garnered over one million views, sparking a flood of comments from viewers eager to share their thoughts on the ‘zero dating theory’.
One TikTok user expressed, “This is so real.”
Another added, “Wait, this is so true, and if they start going down, they really can’t go back up.”
A third chimed in, “Oh yeah, I saw this… it’s so true! We go backward, and then THEY RUIN IT!!!”
Several others agreed, with one stating, “Absolute facts!” and another saying, “Good lord, this is totally true! Mind blown!” What’s your take on the ‘zero dating theory’?
“My therapist told me to STOP romanticizing a man. Stay in the moment. Honestly, it helped with my anxious attachment style issues,” said another.
