Media personality and actress Destiny Amaka has opened up about the struggles of modern dating, calling out the scarcity of intentional and respectful men. In a candid Instagram post, she lamented how many men have “lost the art of being gentlemen,” with some expecting intimacy in exchange for something as simple as taking a woman out.
“Dating isn’t supposed to feel like a transaction,” she wrote, adding that this mindset kills genuine chemistry. Destiny expressed frustration over how difficult it has become to find men who are intelligent, supportive, and intentional about building meaningful connections.
“The streets are rough for us intentional women oh!” she exclaimed, emphasizing that she never expects anything from a man that she can’t provide for herself. She described men who are only after physical intimacy as “off-putting” and encouraged them to treat women with the same respect they would want for their mothers or sisters.
Her post sparked a lot of reactions online, with some agreeing with her sentiment and others noting that the struggle to find good partners exists on both sides of the dating scene.
