2 days ago | eviemagazine.com | Jaimee Marshall

“But what if I don’t like beans?” has become the rallying cry of the most insufferable brand of self-centered social media users. This not-so-isolated incident has become patient zero for the modern “what about me” syndrome epidemic, or as it’s known more prolifically on TikTok, “Bean Soup Theory.” It’s not a theory, more like a behavior, but TikTok’s young demographic has a habit of throwing “theory” after any combination of words and calling it a day.

But as the saying goes, all comedy is rooted in truth. And I happen to have a vested interest in the truth. With those formalities out of the way, I’m going to take a stab at what I think is the problem with this “harmless” trend and the sneaky ways it could be damaging your relationship, even if you have the best of intentions.

But the embrace of the early 2000s goes deeper than fashion for Zoomers on TikTok. They’re yearning for the cozy Tuscan-style homes, the fun colors, and the aesthetic maximalism that once encoded our everyday lives—in packaging, marketing, and even the interfaces we used. It’s like we woke up one day in the 2010s, and everything just looked... drab. The color drained from our world into this corporate minimalist sad beige aesthetic we haven’t been able to escape ever since.

What If The Problem Is You? Why Women Ignore The Dating Advice That Actually Works

In the first ten seconds of these whiny videos, they tend to speed run through a list of men’s top dating red flags. Visually, they’re no Megan Fox. Temperamentally? They’re neurotic but judgmental, entitled but unremarkable, high maintenance but withholding. Behaviorally? They’re too upfront about their novelty-seeking, promiscuousness. They over-index on things that are only valuable to other women, not men—things like career success, education, independence, and how funny they think they are.

Now that women have greater independence and legal equality to save them from the necessity of using their youth and beauty as bargaining chips to secure a lifetime of security (as well as preserve bloodlines and forge political alliances), marriage is less crassly regarded as a woman’s only economic proposition to avoid a lifetime of living in squalor. And yet the fear of irrelevance, invisibility, and dwindling sexual power remains. That primordial anxiety hasn’t vanished.

You’ll doll yourself up for total strangers, but you don’t value your own company or the quality of your day?

Ah, Botox. That magical, youth-preserving neurotoxin once gatekept by celebrities has become an abundantly flowing substance, trickling down from Hollywood to suburbia. Where it was once administered discreetly in swanky Sunset Boulevard clinics, now you can pass three injection sites on your way to Target. (And while I support women’s right to choose cosmetic enhancements, I do not support getting injected at the local mall.)Botox has changed the game for regular women.

It’s in these sacred golden moments, before you remember who or where you are, that you reach. Your hand fumbles around for that extra rectangular appendage, perhaps at first to silence your alarm, but how easy it is, phone already in hand, to get sucked into its tantalizing virtual promises of stimulation, interaction, and distraction.
