Is Having a Boyfriend Cringe Now? - Rob Henderson (Video)

In this 6 November 2025 published Modern Wisdom video, host Chris Williamson talks with Rob Henderson who holds a PhD in psychology from the University of Cambridge and is a Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
When did having a boyfriend become cringe? For as long as men have been men and women have been women, finding a partner to share life with has been one of humanity’s oldest goals. So what changed? Why has wanting connection become something to mock, and what can be done to reverse it?
Expect to learn why having a boyfriend is now cringe according to TikTok, if anti-natalism is a luxury belief, why girls lose friends when they are in a relationship, why so many serious women in the workforce don’t have children or at least let them slow them down, why men don’t show up in relationships anymore, how modern society is disrupting mate preferences, and more.
