A woman has gone viral after explaining why she’s “very single.” Ashley, known as @ashbabank on TikTok, shared in a video that her lack of a relationship is due to men being intimidated by her looks and intelligence.
Ashley revealed that it surprises people to learn she doesn’t have a boyfriend. She also mentioned that no man is currently pursuing her, and she hasn’t been intimate with anyone in eight months. As a fashion stylist in Texas, she finds her single status especially surprising given her profession.
However, Ashley believes that being “so pretty” is actually a barrier to finding love. “You’ve got a very terrifying woman on your hands,” she said, explaining that her success and natural beauty are to blame for her romantic struggles. She added, “Men don’t like me. Men are very, very terrified of me.”
Although some men are attracted to her, Ashley described them as either unavailable or not her type. “I’m merely just a fantasy,” she said, stating that her looks make her seem unattainable. “So yes, I’m alone. I’m very, very, very, very single.”
In her TikTok caption, Ashley wrote: “Lonely life when you know your worth.” Her post has sparked a lot of conversation, with many viewers sharing similar experiences.
One person commented: “Convinced singles are the enlightened ones. We are the main characters living life on our own terms.” Another shared: “Same… been told I’m intimidating my whole life. Men don’t even approach me because they think I have too many options.”
A third viewer added: “Yup. They idealize you, then resent and hate you for everything they loved at the beginning. Still single, but happy.” The comments show many people relate to Ashley’s experience.
One user said: “YUP terrified. So many guys tell me they are intimidated by me,” while another wrote, “Once they find out I’m a real human with feelings… it’s all over.” Many agreed with Ashley’s thoughts, making her post go viral.
