Gen Z Dating Terms, Throning, Shreking, Banksying
A new set of dating terms has emerged among Gen Z to describe various "toxic" relationship behaviors. These include "throning" (dating for status), "shreking" (prioritizing inner beauty only for it to backfire), "banksying" (emotionally withdrawing without notice), and "monkey barring" (securing a new partner before leaving an old one). Relationship coaches suggest these terms are being invented to help young people process increasingly complex digital dating experiences.
