In a recent online post, Nigerian influencer Symply Tacha sparked a heated debate about the effort men should put into relationships. Tacha took a firm stance against the modern trend where some people claim that men no longer need to impress women.

She challenged this narrative, arguing that making an effort is essential for any healthy relationship. Tacha made it clear that thoughtful gestures from men should not be seen as optional but as an important part of romantic partnerships.

Tacha voiced her concerns about the inconsistency in modern dating culture. She pointed out that while it’s common for men to be expected to buy gifts or take women out, some still claim that men no longer need to impress women. She remarked, “How can you push the idea that ‘men don’t have to impress’ when you’re constantly encouraging men to take women out or buy gifts? There has to be effort on both sides.”

To make her point clearer, Tacha turned to the animal kingdom. She pointed out how male birds go to great lengths to attract females, using vibrant colors and intricate dances as displays of effort. She emphasized, “If even animals understand the importance of impressing their mates, why can’t humans? These animals share 90% of our DNA structure. If a bird can make an effort, so can a man.”

Tacha also took aim at modern dating trends, questioning why some men feel entitled to minimal effort in relationships while women are often expected to maintain high standards. She urged women to be honest about their expectations, cautioning against the trend of accepting low effort in the name of independence or “wokeness.”

The comments section was flooded with mixed reactions. Some users agreed with Tacha, while others felt the comparison to birds was misplaced. A few users shared humorous takes, but overall, the post highlighted the ongoing debate about effort in modern relationships.
