| Well, most appropriately, the male-female hour, second hour of the show every Wednesday, is on Valentine's Day. | |
| I wish you a happy one, should you be celebrating it and have a valentine in your life. | |
| Or even had one, and perhaps that person has passed on. | |
| I can only say, I'm happy you had one. | |
| A lot of people don't have one. | |
| Ever. | |
| So there's a piece in the Wall Street Journal I have been looking forward now almost for a week. | |
| When did this come out here? | |
| Let's see. | |
| It came out four days ago. | |
| So for four days I've been looking forward to talking to you about this. | |
| Wall Street Journal piece and its headline is Your Girlfriend Asked You to Peel an Orange. | |
| It's a Trap. | |
| Online quizzes can start a conversation, but shouldn't end a relationship, say couples and experts. | |
| So here is what is going on. | |
| It's mind-blowing to me, the empty world of the social media. | |
| A tip for all the lovers out there, if your beloved asks you to bring them a peeled orange, do it! | |
| The orange peel test, as seen in videos swarming social media, aims to determine whether a romantic partner is willing to perform tiny acts of service, even if the other person is perfectly capable of peeling their own orange. | |
| It's one of several love litmus tests. | |
| That's fascinating. | |
| Love litmus test. | |
| I can't think of any love litmus test in my marriage. | |
| I don't know. | |
| Maybe we think the other one just passes them and don't even realize that we had a litmus test. | |
| Love litmus tests. | |
| Alright, anyway. | |
| Online. | |
| As TikTok users and Instagrammers post videos of their partner's passes and fails. | |
| Why do people do this? | |
| Why do people put on social media for any number of human beings to see whether their partner has passed or failed a love litmus test? | |
| Far from scientific or even fair, these tests give people bragging rights and the latest way to put every aspect of life online for approval. | |
| Wow. | |
| That's sad. | |
| Now here is killer point number one. | |
| The videos typically begin when a woman, the tester, is almost always female. | |
| The tested male. | |
| Ah. | |
| Ah. | |
| The loneliest monk. | |
| Ask Sir Boyfriend for an orange peeled, please. |
