Emily Ratajkowski is giving us some real vibes to take into 2023 as she shared she’s done with dating men who ‘don’t know how to handle’ strong women.
Can we get a hear, hear?
The Gone Girl actress has been taking us along for the ride as she got back into dating following her split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard in September and has opened up on what she’s looking for.
And note: it’s not guys who don’t want an independent partner.
The model and author, who was recently linked to Pete Davidson, believes some guys ‘truly think they want’ an independent partner but ultimately don’t enjoy feeling ’emasculated’ and the relationship then goes downhill.
Speaking to guest Olivia Ponton on her High Low with EmRata podcast this week, activist Emily said: ‘They’re like, “You’re special. You’ve done it.”
‘They love it, then [they] slowly get emasculated, and they don’t know what to do with those feelings, and they resent you, and then they start to tear you down. And then you’re just back to square one.’
The 31-year-old – who has 21-month-old son Sylvester with her estranged husband – branded the situation ‘f***** up and unfair’ and can ‘understand dating women’ instead after previously saying she was hoping to meet her ‘lady crush’.
She went on: ‘I feel like a lot of men who truly think they want a strong woman actually don’t know how to handle it and they don’t know what it means for their own identity.’
Speaking on dating women, she said: ‘There might be competition … but it doesn’t feel like somebody’s taking something away from someone else.
‘Weirdly with heteronormative relationships, I feel like that happens.
‘The strength and the power is associated with the masculine, and once the woman has that, the man doesn’t know what else he has.
‘But I’m like, “How about you just be better at expressing your emotions and being there emotionally? That would be great.”‘
On a recent episode, Emily revealed she had joined a dating app but feared it was ‘too white’ and wasn’t convinced it would result in her meeting a ‘lady crush’.
She said: ‘I was like, “F*** it”. I was feeling defiant because so many people told me not to get it,’ and told how she quickly got ‘a few direct requests from women’ which she said was exciting.
But Emily added: ‘I feel like this app is a little bit white. It’s very white and feels like a very particular man and very particular type of woman, so I don’t think I’m gonna meet my lady crush on here.’
