According to the comedy influencer in an interview with NeedToKnow.online, despite making jokes about hating being single, they are content to remain single for as long as necessary: “I make jokes about being single and how I hate it, but I’m totally fine being single for as long as I need to be. The video stating I’m too intimidating and hot, I don’t actually mean that. I just notice a trend among women saying these things to explain why they’re single.”
“It’s a more empowering – possibly false – way of hyping ourselves up and making light of being chronically single.”
“I’ve personally been told and heard women give reason that they’re single because ‘the guy wants to be the hot one’ or ‘I’m too hot, I’m intimidating him and scaring him away’ – just funny satirical stuff like that. I thought it was pretty obvious in my video it was satire and me being existential and dramatic, but clearly that wasn’t delivered.”

“The funny thing is, women commenting are saying, “This isn’t satire, it’s relatable” or “real”. Men on the other hand are basically flaming me, calling me ugly and almost seeming mad.”

A TikTok comment read, “Especially when you have a personality and standards too and they can’t match it all.”
A user agreed it’s “a blessing & a curse”.
Another joked, “I’m gonna believe this is true about myself bc any other explanation will be my last straw.”
The hot TikToker revealed that she has never been in a serious relationship, except for some puppy love in early high school that lasted less than a month.

“I don’t have a ton of experience dating because I don’t have an urgency to date. I’m a busy gal and I think when it’s time for me to date, it’ll come to me, I don’t think I’ll be the one chasing it. Being I’ve been independent my whole life, I’m used to being single. In LA, dating is nearly impossible it seems. Everyone is busy or just not ready for commitment, which I totally understand,” said Schwing.
