”He’s a 10 But…” TikTok Trend
What is the “He’s a 10 but…” trend on TikTok?
The trend is a game where someone describes an imaginary guy who’s super attractive (a 10 out of 10), but who has one weird “flaw.” Then, another person gives the imaginary guy a new attractiveness rating from 1-10 based on that info.
Where did the “He’s a 10 but…” trend start?
Games like this have been around forever, but TikTok user @leahhwoodss probably kicked off this specific version back in 2022. In the video, she plays the game and passes the phone around to her friends to think up their own flawed dudes. From there, other users started playing the game, and the trend blew up.
What is “He’s a 10 but freaky?”
This is a version of the game where the imaginary guys’ “flaws” are weird and sex-related. It adds a fun layer of steamy intrigue.
Is “He’s a 10 but…” problematic? Well, it can be. There’s nothing wrong with having a little fun with your friends, but many of the things people on social media consider “flaws” are just normal habits or behaviors that many people do, and that can be hurtful to hear. Of course, it goes both ways: when people show their true colors by saying they think something normal is weird, it just makes them look weird. So be careful when you play the game!
