A woman has openly declared that she's "very single," attributing it to men finding her intimidating because of her attractiveness and intelligence.

In a now-viral video, Ashley, known as @ashbabank on TikTok, shared that people are often surprised to learn she doesn't have a boyfriend.

Furthermore, she disclosed that no man is currently pursuing her romantically, and she hinted at being without intimacy for eight months.

Ashley, a fashion stylist from Texas, noted that her single status frequently catches people off guard, especially given her profession.

Despite her striking looks, Ashley feels that being "so pretty" has hindered her from finding love.

"You've got a very terrifying woman on your hands… a very not easy woman," Ashley stated, attributing this to her success and natural beauty.

She added: "Men don't like me. Men are very, very terrified of me."

Ashley admitted that while some men are drawn to her, she described them as either unavailable or 'ugo [ugly] weirdos'.

She continued: "Because at the end of the day, I'm merely just a fantasy. I am not a real human because of the pretty and scary."

"So yes, I'm alone. I'm very, very, very, very single."

In her video caption, Ashley expressed: "Feeling lonely when you know your value."

Ashley may be flying solo, but she's not the only one grappling with how her attractiveness, intellect, and achievements complicate her romantic prospects.

Ashley's TikTok video has generated numerous comments from viewers sharing their perspectives.

One user expressed: "Convinced singles are the enlightened ones. We are the main characters living life on our own terms."

Another shared: "Same… been told I'm intimidating my whole life. Men don't even approach me because they think I have too many options."

A third commented: "Yup. They idealize you, then at the end resent and hate you for everything they loved and adored about you at the beginning because you bring out all their insecurities. Still single, but happy."

One user concisely added: "You said this perfectly."

The comments section resonates with many who find this narrative familiar.

One person shared: "YUP terrified. So many guys tell me they are intimidated by me," while another user humorously remarked: "Me core. Once they find out I'm a real human with feelings… it's all over."

And simply put by another: "Facts."
