This clip hit 1 MILLION views for a reason… 👀📈 @softwareengineerbaddie said what a lot of people think but won’t say: Being smart doesn’t mean you get to ignore your appearance. No haircuts. No style. Bare minimum effort… And somehow that became “normal”? 🤨 Let’s be real — intelligence and self-care can coexist. Now to be fair… attraction is subjective. What one person doesn’t like, someone else will. But effort? That part isn’t subjective. So the question is: Are standards too high… or is effort too low? 👇🏾 #TechCulture #DatingTalk #ModernDating #SelfImprovement #Confidence
