The ‘soft guy era’ is taking TikTok by storm, with men being advised to stop being the sole providers in relationships. Fox News’ Anita Vogel and her co-hosts on ‘The Big Weekend Show’ discussed this latest craze, questioning the changing dynamics of masculinity.
TikToker Lil Goodie, a self-proclaimed co-founder of the movement, emphasized the importance of women being in long-term relationships and suggested that men should be paying for all the dates. His co-founder, Scarfacemark, echoed this sentiment, stating that being a provider in 2024 is a scam and that women are financially independent and capable of contributing.
However, not everyone is on board with this new trend. Fox News contributor Nicole Saphier highlighted the beauty of being financially independent in a marriage, emphasizing that couples should be together because they want to, not because they need to. On the other hand, Fox News contributor Jason Chaffetz criticized some men for wanting to be coddled and taken care of, likening them to wanting a mother figure.
Former President Trump even weighed in on the debate, disagreeing with Congress’ efforts to ban TikTok in the U.S. Despite the differing opinions, the ‘soft guy era’ trend continues to gain traction on social media, sparking discussions about traditional gender roles and expectations in relationships.
