What if the secret to being treated like a princess is simply letting yourself be one? That’s the idea comedian and content creator KieKie is pushing, and she’s got a lot of people chatting.
In a new video, she urged women to be softer in their relationships. Her advice is to be gentle, pick your battles, and let your partner take the lead sometimes. You don’t have to carry everything on your own shoulders.
KieKie thinks some women take on jobs they could easily hand over to their men. Her example was Christmas arrangements. If your man is around and able to do it, why are you the one running everything?
She didn’t hold back either.
“Learn how to be soft. Learn how to wait. Learn how to be gentle,” she said.
This is the part that’ll probably get screenshotted. KieKie says women have a secret weapon, and she calls it the puppy face. Think of how babies melt hearts with one look. She believes the same thing works in relationships.
“Women, puppy face works for men,” she said. The catch? You can’t fake it. According to her, you need to be soft first before the puppy face can do its job.
A question for the “intentional man” crowd
Then she turned the mirror around. You know how many women say they want an intentional man? KieKie asked a fair question back: are you being intentional too?
Her answer was simple. “Be intentionally soft as a woman.”
Relationship advice online can get loud and heated, so this was always going to spark a debate. Some women will probably nod along and say finally, someone said it. Others may feel it’s easier said than done, especially when life piles on responsibilities.
KieKie says her advice comes from her own good experiences in relationships. She also wanted to give women a different view from the negative relationship talk they often hear.
Whether you love it or roll your eyes, it does leave you thinking. Maybe softness isn’t weakness at all. Maybe it’s just another way of getting what you need. What do you think?
