"Social media has a theory that pearl earrings repel men.
Pearl jewelry often symbolizes beauty, class and sophistication. Now, for those exact views, single girls on TikTok are ditching the feminine pieces because they think wearing them is preventing them from meeting eligible bachelors.
To justify why today’s generation of men don’t know how to pursue women anymore, TikTok created the “pearl earring theory,” which is that women who wear this type of accessory are viewed as intimidating, expensive or high-maintenance — qualities that might “scare away” potential suitors."

Wearing this specific accessory might prevent men from dating women—and they don’t even realize it: ‘No wonder I’m single’
“This explains everything.”

Sigh.
