In a new twist on the āgolden retriever boyfriend" trend, a poster on TikTok shared a video of what she called her āGerman shepherdā husband, and was promptly roasted in the comments.
In recent online vernacular, the so-called "golden retriever" is a boyfriend or husband who is friendly and supportive and generally happy, if not overly burdened with deep thoughts.
In contrast, this poster claimed that her husband, featured shirtless and preparing food in her video, is more like a German shepherd.
The text overlay read:
āHeās not energetic or super friendly but heās loyal. He doesnāt like strangers and he calls me on my bulls**t. He would bite anyone who tried to hurt me."
"He gives me tough love when I need it but will be the first one to comfort me when Iām sad. He doesnāt like a lot of people but he loves his āpeopleā more than anything."
"Get a German Shepherd husband.ā
If you're thinking that doesnāt sound much like an actual German shepherd, or like an ideal husband, youāre definitely not alone.
Podcaster Josh Lekach posted a screenshot to X, formerly Twitter, where it quickly went viral.
Folks disagreed with the posterās idea of what German shepherds are really like.
People with actual German shepherds said their dogs apparently missed a memo.
And folks imagined what a ārealā German shepherd husband would be like.
Other women shared what type of dogs their own husbands are.
Forget human husbands with dog-like characteristics, some said. Women just want actual dogs.
Folks complained about why women are obsessed with dogs to begin with.
People took issue with the generalization about womenās preferences as a whole.
Though some were impressed that a post could be wrong about so very many things.
It should go without saying that human men are more complicated than dogs, but this trend will undoubtedly continue.
Let's keep it all in good fun!
