The rise of the male thirst trap on TikTok
Manage episode 376662720 series 3374427
Thirst traps aren't just made by women and girls any more. In 2022, guys are acting horny and vain for the female gaze in unprecedented numbers on platforms like TikTok. It might be shirtless lip biting, or a POV where he roleplays the morning after you went home together, or even a short motivational speech about how you're the most beautiful girl in the world. There's an avalanche of this content released every day, and it's wildly popular. Today on Schmeitgeist, we willingly enter the uncanny valley of the male thirst trap to find out why all these guys are doing something that guys never used to do. What's changed?
Schmeitgeist is a weekly pop culture podcast from ABC Everyday about why we love what we love, hosted by Ange Lavoipierre.
