What is the \u201cgirlfriend effect\u201d on TikTok? Trend shows men\u2019s \u201cglow-up\u201d in relationships TikTok: sooshy.dA new TikTok trend has taken over the platform as women show off their boyfriends\u2019 \u201cglow-ups\u201d in what has been dubbed the \u201cgirlfriend effect\u201d. When it comes to a successful relationship, there are many factors that play an important role; personality, interests, beliefs, values, and of course, love. But while looks aren\u2019t everything, physical attraction is considered highly important when seeking a certain level of intimacy with that special someone. Luckily, a new TikTok trend is here to help. With over 58 million views on the platform, the \u201cgirlfriend effect\u201d claims men go through a \u201cglow-up\u201d once they\u2019re loved up and in a relationship. Women have been throwing their boyfriends under the bus for this trend with \u201cbefore\u201d and \u201cafter\u201d photos that show how their partner\u2019s appearance has changed throughout the course of their relationship. And the general consensus seems to be that girlfriends equal glow-ups. Apparently, having a girlfriend comes with the added perks of some better styling advice and an incentive to improve grooming habits. One TikToker, \u2018stellabellakate\u2019, shared her boyfriend\u2019s transformation, writing, \u201cHe\u2019s [going to] kill me for posting this but I definitely win this trend.\u201d And her viewers seemingly agreed, with one commenter claiming Stella \u201csaved\u201d her boyfriend. Another said, \u201cYou crushed it, Queen. He looks brand new!\u201d Others, however, had a very different reaction; \u201cAs a woman, I need [the] \u2018girlfriend effect\u2019 ON MYSELF.\u201d TikToker Sooshy also posted her husband\u2019s \u201cgirlfriend effect\u201d transformation only to have her partner hilariously comment, \u201cWithout you, I\u2019d be single and unfashionable.\u201d It seems TikTok is certainly convinced the science checks out, so whether or not you\u2019re on board yet, the \u201cgirlfriend effect\u201d might just be one more thing to look forward to in your next relationship.
