Being in love is a magical thing. Or so I've heard. All you want to do is sing from the rooftops and let everyone know how amazing your partner is. Or, as the modern-day love story would tell it, post a super PDA video on social media, with a super romantic song as the backing track. Because sharing is caring, right? One TikTok user named @rachelgwilson, created a montage of her relationship with her (gorgeous) boyfriend—No, I'm not bitter about it, why do you ask?—and put it to a song with the lyrics, "I found a guy told me I was a star…"

Her post went viral, and women used it as an opportunity to create videos of them singing the same song, but with screenshots of creepy, rude, and gross messages they've received from men in the background instead. The results are amazingly hilarious, but also sad because they just provide us with more tangible proof that... Men. Are. Gross. Here are some of the best reactions to her video that we found. Watch them and cry, and then let us know if you have any similar experiences, in the comments section!

Parenting is a full-time job and a pretty relentless one at that. There's no clocking off or switching shifts; being a parent is a permanent position, which involves the good, the bad, and everything in between. From the mess to the permanently empty wallet, to the spit-up every three seconds, parenting has its trials and tribulations. Parents are sharing on TikTok how you can tell they have kids without actually saying they have kids, and their videos are the most relatable thing ever. The trend was started by TikTok user @mommacusse, who showed how people can tell she's a parent without her saying anything. So whether or not you have kids, you used to be one, so you will relate hard to these funny videos.

People who have not slept with a member of the opposite sex will always wonder what it's like. Whether it's because they haven't managed to get lucky yet, they swing the other way, or they choose to live a life of abstinence, it will forever remain a mystery. The only way to somewhat understand what it's like is to ask people who have had the experience, which is precisely what one TikToker did.

Marissa Wilkes created a video on TikTok, explaining, "As a woman loving woman who has never been with a guy, I'm curious. Ladies, what is it like to sleep with a guy? Especially the ladies that also like the ladies that have been with men. Please, be brutally, brutally honest." Let's just say, her followers did not disappoint. They brutally roasted men, coming up with analogies that are harsh enough to make most men crawl into their man caves and never come out again. Scroll through and read the hilarious reviews left by these unsatisfied ladies left.

Men who mansplain are amongst some of the worst people on the planet. There's nothing more boring than having a man patronizingly explain something to you that you not only already understand but that you probably know more about than him. Welcome to men's fragile sexist egos, which can't possibly comprehend that a delicate, stupid little woman could understand something better than him— especially about their own bodies. I know, I know, not all men do this. But the ones who do give men a bad rep.

Tyra Blizzard decided to jump on the trending mansplaining bandwagon and shared a story on TikTok of how her ex-boyfriend tried mansplaining her period to her, explaining that she only needed a couple of spare tampons in her purse. and not as many as she currently had. She explained that she was "flabbergasted", and exclaimed, "Sir, how would you know about my flow?!" She then asked women to stitch or duet her TikTok with their own stories and share their own "jaw-dropping mansplaining experiences." Of course, her post went viral, and the responses came flooding in, and they are quite shocking. Here are some of the best, showing how alive and well the mansplaining disease is.

If you thought sexism wasn't still a genuine problem, think again. In a recent trend on TikTok, women are sharing their most "blatantly sexist" encounters, and the stories are shockingly heartbreaking. The trend started when TikToker @mandyalise uploaded a video recounting a frustrating experience she had while shopping with her soon-to-be-husband. She prefaced her rant by asking, "Ladies, what's the most blatantly sexist thing a man has said to you? I'll go first."

She explained how the pair were shopping for some "fancy new shirts" for her fiance. At the checkout desk, the male employee who served them provided crucial care instructions for the garments. "As he's scanning them, he's saying, 'Make sure you take good care of these. Make sure you wash them in cold water. Make sure you hang them to try and make sure you iron them. And who was that man looking at when he was explaining these washing instructions? Not my fiancé. He was looking at me."

The video has since been viewed 756k times and received almost 8k comments. Women from all over the world began sharing their own sexist encounters, which are truly heartbreaking. Here are some of those shocking revelations.

Wait...what? Did we really read that correctly? 

Gizmodo has reported that teens on the popular TikTok app, are now dipping their "jewels" in soy sauce. 

We don't really know where to begin on this one. Apparently, someone took a report from 2013, on a study that discovered not only the mouth is able to have taste receptors that are sensitive, but several parts of the body including the stomach, lungs, brain, and testicles are all sensitive to umami. Umami, the Business Insider defines it as "the amino acid taste of soy sauce."

So, there you have it. People are dipping their testicles into soy sauce to test out their taste receptors down there. 

If by some reason you're compelled to look into these #soysaucechallenge... here you go.

Is it just us or are these viral challenges just getting more bizarre and icky?
