Men these days don’t want to be ‘simps’ anymore — Tyla

South African singer, Tyla Laura Seethal, popularly known as Tyla, has shared her views on modern dating, saying many men today are reluctant to express their feelings openly because they do not want to be seen as “simps.”

Speaking during a conversation, the Grammy-winning singer joked that dating has become more difficult because of the attitude of many men.

“Guys these days… Divas. Bedazzled divas,” she said, with another speaker agreeing, “They’re divas!”

When asked whether she preferred a nonchalant man or someone who openly showed interest, Tyla said she believes the ideal relationship requires balance.

“There just needs to be a balance. Like, you need to know when to be nonchalant and when to be chalant.”

The conversation later shifted to the idea of “simping” in relationships. According to Tyla, many men now avoid showing too much affection because they fear being judged.

“I just think like guys don’t want to be simps anymore. It’s kind of embarrassing now.”

One of the male speakers responded by saying he had no problem being a “simp,” prompting Tyla to encourage men to be open about their feelings.

“Own it. If you love your woman, own it.” she said.
