Every relationship has a certain flair and flavor. While committing your all to someone can be challenging, it’s important to remember why you two are exceptional and in love. But to do that, sometimes, it needs a bit of bragging to keep your relationship strong, spicy, and balanced.
A TikTok video from January 2023 has resurfaced on social media. In the video, OP said, “‘Wag niyong ipagmalaki sakin mga gf niyong magaganda kung easy target naman, dahil may gf akong di kagandahan pero pinaghirapan ko ng 1 taon. [Don’t brag to me about how beautiful your girlfriends are if they’re easy targets. I have a girlfriend who isn’t very pretty, but I worked hard for a year to be with her.]’ The video has sparked criticism for suggesting that other girls are “easy to get” and for the backhanded compliment directed at his own girlfriend.
Showing off your love for someone isn’t just about flaunting—it’s about celebrating and solidifying your connection. Publicly affirming your affection can deepen your bond and make your relationship, somehow, shine. Gear away from the problematic way of ‘flexing,’ and check out these tips to flaunt your love in the most heartfelt way:
Know their basic information (even the most minor details)
Being committed to someone is almost similar to making your thesis. You need to learn every detail, whether small or big, that is, every piece of information matters. This includes their favorite color, food, movie, their childhood memories, and even their daily routine.
The best feeling of being in a relationship is when your partner knows you more than anyone else. What if your long-term friend sees you and asks about your partner? Start by telling them their basic information. You can tell them how beautiful their eyes are, how beautiful their voice is, etc.
And even when they’re not around or you’re not on good terms, do not speak ill of your partner, especially around people you’re not close with. Flex them, literally. Tell other people about their good traits. Remember, basic is classic.
Utilize Social Media and click the ‘Post’ button
Let’s be honest. Almost everyone in this generation couldn’t survive without their phones. Entertainment, News, Music, and Movies can be accessed through social media.
Why not use it to flex your favorite partner’s moments? With applications like Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, you can easily upload your partner’s funny, romantic, or wedding photos and videos online!
You can easily flex your partner globally through these platforms. You can even send it to your family members who migrated from other countries.
But remember, think before you click!
Use your talent and flex it
Seriously, in this digital age, you can do almost everything online. If you are passionate about singing, write a song about your partner, make a video and release it. The same applies to a poet, dancer, or even an actor.
Go flex your talent and impress your love to your partner in the form of art. We Filipinos are known for harana [serenade] right?

Share your story
Sometimes, sharing your story can be inspirational. Your story could either inspire or be relatable. Sharing your love story can help you grow more, especially when you know that people are rooting for both of you. Remember, your story could be the light that someone needs in their darkness.
Don’t worry. Sharing can be done in many forms! You can release a video online, advise your friends physically, or simply share it with the children to anticipate how powerful, magical, and colorful love is.
Just like a Disney fairytale!
