“I don’t really get this logic” — Netizens react as Bebe Rexha says she cannot date a guy who is in his “soft girl era”

Singer and songwriter Bebe Rexha appears to have her dating priorities straight. On March 27, 2025, she shared a TikTok video stating that she wouldn't date a man who is in their soft girl era. Rexha stated:

“Listen, I am all about guys being more in touch with their feminine side, you know, like I love that your you but it’s hard to be in your soft girl era which I feel like we all wanna be in our soft, soft girl era right now at least I do but it’s like when all the guys are in their soft girl eras, it’s like what do I gotta be the boyfriend and the girlfriend.”

The post, shared by the X account Pop Base, received reactions from social media users. While some criticized Bebe Rexha for her statement, others shared similar stories. One X user argued:

“I don’t really get this logic.”

Netizens shared their personal preferences for dating, while others suggested finding a middle ground.

“We know exactly what she's saying trying to say even when she's trying not to say it,” a social media user commented.

“Alpha is and has always been the only way. Who wants beta men?” a netizen claimed.

“You just gotta find that in between because i promise you that you don’t want a guy that’s too into the idea of masculinity where they’re borderline misogynistic,” an internet user suggested.

A few X users claimed that Bebe Rexha was free to share her opinions, but others felt she might have been "yapping."

“Just say you want a man not a boy that bout sums it up.. all that extra yapping for what,” an online commentator wrote.

“She's free to say her opinion doesn't mean we gotta agree with me,” a netizen defended her.

“Your bf can still be in his soft girl era and get sh*t done just the same, fyi!!!! Both are doable at the same time,” another X user opined.

Bebe Rexha dated Keyan Safyari till 2023

According to People Magazine, in August 2024, Bebe Rexha was seen enjoying a vacation in Italy with her new partner, Simos Liakos. The couple relaxed by the water in Sardinia, and Rexha wore a black swimsuit while wrapping her arm around Liakos's chest.

She had previously been involved with Keyan Safyari until July 2023. The breakup was confirmed two weeks after she publicly shared text messages in which he reportedly made unkind comments about her weight gain. Speaking about Safyari in 2020, Bebe Rexha said:

“I have a very wonderful man in my life right now. He's just honestly an amazing person, and he makes me happy! It just feels right.”

During an Instagram Live in February 2025, the singer addressed body-shaming comments. She responded to a troll who made a harsh remark comparing her appearance to that of another artist. Bebe Rexha expressed that she wasn't bothered by the comments and was fully aware of changes in her body.

Acknowledging the challenges she had faced, she noted that while many people recognized her music, they may not know her personally, and she hadn't always received the recognition she deserved. Despite the negativity, she reassured her fans that she felt stronger than ever and encouraged them not to pity her.
