Emily Ratajkowski has been open about her views on men and dating. During a recent online Q&A session with fans, the 31-year-old model expressed her skepticism about men's emotional maturity in relationships.
"I'm so sorry to say this," she said, "Men think with their d**ks, and they’re just not that advanced." Following her split from husband Sebastian Bear-McClard in July 2022 amid cheating rumors, Emily seems to be adopting a more independent and empowered approach to dating.
Since her divorce, the mother of 2-year-old Sylvester has been linked to numerous high-profile men, including Brad Pitt, Pete Davidson, Eric André, and most recently, Harry Styles. Reflecting on her past dating mindset, Emily said, "I was a bit of a 'pick-me girl.' I don’t have that anymore. So now it’s really fun to go to dinner with someone and be like, 'Cool. I really enjoyed these parts of them. I really didn’t like those other parts.'"
According to insiders, Emily's new approach to dating has surprised some of her romantic partners. "Guys are shocked at how she’s able to seduce them with her charms and then leave them without much consideration for their feelings," an insider revealed. By embracing a more carefree attitude, Emily is challenging traditional gender norms in dating, with a source stating, "Emily’s only doing what men have been doing for centuries."
The My Body author has been candid about her relationship deal breakers, with a lack of genuine interest being at the top of the list. Emily shared her frustration about an unnamed ex who never finished reading her book, questioning his interest in her. Through her experiences, Emily has learned the importance of focusing on her own wants and needs in a relationship, rather than fixating on her partner's perception of her.
Her newfound confidence and independence have made the Gone Girl actress even more attractive to potential suitors. "Emily doesn’t have any hang-ups when it comes to no-strings-attached fun," an insider noted. "She’s not looking for a husband — she’s not even looking for a serious relationship. The vibe she gives out is very attractive to guys."
Although not currently seeking a life partner, Emily has expressed her desire to have more children. During the March 23 chat, she discussed the possibility of freezing her eggs, stating, "I think I definitely would like to have more children. I really love being a mom."
She added, "I’m not sure I’m going to find somebody that I want to raise a child with." Emily's journey highlights her determination to take control of her love life and prioritize her own happiness, regardless of societal expectations.
