Originating on TikTok, this phenomenon challenges a belief that many consider fundamental: Is<a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/06\/20\/this-chanel-les-beiges-foundation-lasts-12-hours-and-enhances-mature-skin-without-emphasizing-fine-lines\/\">physical attraction<\/a> really essential for building a solid relationship? <\/p>\n<h2>What exactly is &#8220;shrekking&#8221;?<\/h2>\n<p>The term takes its name from Shrek, the endearing ogre from the Disney saga. The idea is simple: <strong>set aside the pursuit of physical attraction<\/strong> in favor of a partner <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/06\/20\/rated-100-100-on-yuka-this-new-typology-sunscreen-serum-helps-your-tan-last-longer-and-is-already-winning-over-french-women\/\">who is protective<\/a>, emotionally available, and capable of building a lasting relationship. <\/p>\n<p>As surprising as it may seem at first glance, this concept reflects a deeper shift in our approach to romantic relationships. Yet it didn\u2019t come out of nowhere. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/06\/19\/paris-wins-the-2026-esports-world-cup-with-a-record-prize-pool-of-75-million-and-2000-players-at-porte-de-versailles\/\">Gen Z<\/a>, raised in the era of dating apps and \u201csituationships,\u201d seems to be questioning intensity as a central criterion for a couple.  <\/p>\n<p>As a result, <strong>emotional security has become sexy<\/strong>. Someone who clearly communicates their intentions now seems more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parisselectbook.com\/en\/2026\/06\/20\/this-minimalist-summer-dress-worn-by-kate-moss-and-carolyn-bessette-kennedy-is-making-a-big-comeback-at-prada-and-miu-miu\/\">attractive<\/a> than someone who is seen as elusive. <\/p>\n<h3>A trend that originated in the depths of TikTok<\/h3>\n<p>The phenomenon has spread rapidly on TikTok, where thousands of users are sharing their experiences. Many stories describe how a relationship that initially lacked spark evolved thanks to the emotional stability of a caring partner. <\/p>\n<p>Consequently, what some call \u201cshrekking\u201d directly challenges our priorities. Physical attraction takes a back seat to qualities such as kindness, reliability, and clarity of intentions. <\/p>\n<h2>Charlotte York and Harry: The Pop Culture Reference for &#8220;Shrekking&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>Some see an early manifestation of this trend in the cult classic 1990s series <em>*Sex and the City<\/em>*. Charlotte York, played by Kristin Davis, is searching for the perfect husband when she falls in love with her divorce lawyer, Harry Goldenblatt. <\/p>\n<p>Yet Charlotte doesn&#8217;t find him attractive. Worse still, Harry embarrasses her. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Do you realize how lucky you are to be with me? What do we look like? Do you know what people think of us when they see us together?&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Charlotte York ends up marrying him anyway, largely because of the kindness he shows her. What adds nuance to the situation on screen is that this marriage was not premeditated: <strong>Charlotte does not choose her husband by default, but actually falls in love with him<\/strong>, despite herself. <\/p>\n<h3>A scenario that mirrors real life<\/h3>\n<p>This fictional couple resonates with a reality that many can relate to. Thus, Charlotte and Harry&#8217;s story illustrates that attraction can arise where you least expect it. <\/p>\n<p>However, there is one crucial distinction: in <em>*Sex and the City*<\/em>, romantic feelings are not calculated. They develop naturally, over time and as the characters get to know each other. <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shrekking values emotional availability over physical appearance.<\/li>\n<li>Gen Z sees this as a solution to the disappointments of dating apps.<\/li>\n<li>Charlotte York and Harry Goldenblatt are cited as pop culture examples of this dynamic.<\/li>\n<li>Emotional security has emerged as a new criterion for attraction.<\/li>\n<li>The phenomenon emerged and spread primarily through TikTok.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>&#8220;Shrekking&#8221; is a divisive topic: emotional maturity or a calculated move in love?<\/h2>\n<p>Opinions on this phenomenon are divided. On the one hand, some see it as a sign of emotional maturity: choosing a stable partner rather than chasing after toxic but thrilling relationships. <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, some people are speaking out to highlight a real risk. <strong>This trend reinforces certain aesthetic standards<\/strong> by implying that a person deemed less attractive would necessarily treat their partner better. Conversely, it also suggests that an attractive person would inevitably behave poorly. This line of reasoning <strong>establishes a hierarchy around beauty and turns it into a bargaining chip<\/strong> within the relationship.  <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this line of reasoning risks reducing a romantic relationship to a rational calculation, devoid of any spontaneity. Desire and stability then become two opposing poles, when in fact they could coexist. <\/p>\n<p>The question raised by this phenomenon is, however, a legitimate one: in a world saturated with fleeting relationships and ghosting, isn\u2019t it reasonable to reevaluate one\u2019s criteria? Yet there is a risk of confusing healthy compromise with giving up on one\u2019s own desires. <\/p>\n<h3>Have enough self-respect not to choose by default<\/h3>\n<p>The debate sparked by &#8220;shrekking&#8221; raises a deeper question about self-esteem. Looking for a partner who is attractive in every way\u2014physically, emotionally, and intellectually\u2014is not an unrealistic expectation. <\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, this right to universal attraction also requires granting oneself the self-worth necessary to claim it. Perhaps true emotional maturity lies precisely in this: valuing oneself enough to refuse to choose between desire and security, and to seek both at the same time. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2026, \u201cshrekking\u201d emerged as one of the most baffling dating trends of the moment.
