Joules Lowell's TikTok went Viral after she ranted about the reasons she has given up on pursuing romantic endeavors. The TikTok “reasons I’ll be single for a long time/forever,” has gotten a lot of people talking about common male dating behaviors.
“This is probably reason number 500,000 of why I’m going to be single for the rest of my life,” she said. “I don’t want to do anything for you. I don’t want to cook for you, I don’t want to clean for you, I don’t want to be your secretary and set your appointments and chase you around,” she began. “I don’t want to pick up your socks for you. I don’t want to be one of those people who come on TikTok and make ‘funny videos’ about how you can’t do anything for yourself. F**k that.” Lowell said it became nearly impossible to find a “fully functioning” male adult. “It has been proven time and again that men are the ones who benefit from marriage and relationships because we [women] get in them, and we do everything, and they just get to sit back and receive everything from us,” she said. “As a treat, they might do something for our birthday, or for mother’s day,” she continued. “Men have unconscionable permission to plainly exist in relationships and receive. When I come home after a long day, I don’t want to cook either. Why can’t we flip a coin to see who cooks or if we order food? Why can’t you pick up after yourself? Why can’t you set your own appointments? Why do I have to be your secretary? I’m not working for you. I have gotten so lazy, I’m not doing anything.” She argued a popular response from men to her resistance was proof they only wanted to enter relationships for the pure sake of having women take care of them. “There are men who will say, ‘Well, what are you good for?’, but you’re proving my point,” she added. “You just want to be with somebody so they will do everything for you.”
