A woman has openly claimed that her relationship status is ‘very single’ because men are intimidated by her beauty and intellect.
Ashley, known on TikTok as @ashbabank, shared in a viral video that it frequently surprises people to discover she’s unattached.
Moreover, Ashley revealed that no men are currently pursuing her romantically, and she has been celibate for eight months.
As a fashion stylist, Ashley finds that her single status often shocks people.
Despite her striking looks, she believes that being ‘so pretty’ has actually hindered her love life.
“You’ve got a very terrifying woman on your hands … a very not easy woman,” she said, referring to her combination of success and beauty.
Ashley commented further: “Men don’t like me. Men are very, very terrified of me.”
While she acknowledged that some men are drawn to her, she described them as either taken or ‘ugo [ugly] weirdos’.
“Because at the end of the day, I’m merely just a fantasy. I am not a real human because of the pretty and scary,” she added.
“So yes, I’m alone. I’m very, very, very, very single.”
In a caption accompanying the video, Ashley expressed, “Lonely life when you know your worth.”
The video has sparked a lively discussion in the comments section.
“Convinced singles are the enlightened ones. We are the main characters living life on our own terms,” one viewer commented.
Another shared, “Same… been told I’m intimidating my whole life. Men don’t even approach me because they think I have too many options.”
“Yup. They idealize you, then at the end resent and hate you for everything they loved and adored about you at the beginning because you bring out all their insecurities. Still single, but happy,” a third user added.

“YUP terrified. So many guys tell me they are intimidated by me,” one user stated, while another joked, “Me core. Once they find out I’m a real human with feelings… it’s all over.”
And yet another succinctly put it: “Facts.”
