New TikTok trend unveils real feelings of men (Collage: RBC-Ukraine)
On social media, videos often emerge that instantly go viral and trend. This is the case with a series of videos where women tested the "orange peel theory" to assess their relationships to determine whether their partner truly loves them.
While crafting this material, sources such as TikTok and the Mashable website were used.
'Orange peel theory' - how it began
Several months ago, blogger Anna Birmingham claimed that women could easily test their chosen ones. All they needed to do was ask them to do a simple task, such as peeling an orange.
The essence of the test is that the woman can do it herself. However, if the man agrees and doesn't ask unnecessary questions, it supposedly indicates his undeniable love.
Of course, this intriguing "theory" quickly went viral. Users started filming videos, asking their partners to peel an orange. The results varied.
Some men agreed and immediately started peeling the orange without questioning why they should do it. Others openly didn't understand why they should please the woman if she could peel the fruit herself.

Certainly, the videos featuring this trend have evoked not only positive reactions. At times, commentators write that such tests appear utterly senseless. User opinions are divided, and they express:
"Very cute trend."
"Absurd and mockery of men, who came up with this?!"
"I don't understand why there's a need for these kinds of tests."
