Not a day goes by that we don’t come across a new TikTok theory. This theory, which claims to analyze today’s relationships with the green line method, has, as you can guess, become popular. TikTok users, who sometimes analyze their own relationships and sometimes the relationships of famous couples, seem to believe in this theory.
Of course, like every theory, this trend also has a scientific explanation. So, is there any possibility that this theory, which has taken over the internet, has any truth?
First, let’s briefly explain what this theory is:
- If you cannot view the video, you can click here.
The claim of this theory is that how you look in photos taken with your partner says a lot about your relationship. The person who leans towards the person next to him in the photographs becomes the person who enters the other’s world. The person standing upright next to you is the dominant and powerful person in the relationship.
For example, let’s proceed through this image; After Will Smith and his wife Jada Smith took a photo at an award ceremony, there was a lot of talk about the green line theory on social media. Leaning on his partner, Will Smith is the non-dominant person in the relationship. As can be clearly seen in the line, the famous actor is leaning on his wife. However, Jada Smith, on the contrary, displays an upright pose.
According to this rule; When a man leans towards his girlfriend, he reveals that he feels needy, worthless and dependent on her. This example can also be clearly seen on Kim Kardashian and her partner. While Kim stood very tall against the cameras; Her partner, Kanye West, poses slightly leaning on Kim. So the dominant person in this relationship is Kim Kardashian.
Well, let’s see how much this theory reflects reality:
Many psychologists and relationship experts have stated that this theory does not contain any truth. Because psychologists say that the basis here is only the “body language” we show in relationships. Yes, body language tells us a lot today, as psychology explains, but you cannot understand your relationship with your partner just by using body language.
Famous psychologist Nancy Sokarno says that we cannot understand anything in these photographs just by looking at the posture. If we want to fully understand the dynamics of a couple, we need to look at other factors. Will and Jade Smith, for example, perhaps didn’t feel that comfortable in front of the cameras.
The psychologist’s explanation on this subject is as follows: “Ultimately, everything depends on how you treat each other. Factors such as how you support each other emotionally, how you chat, how you resolve conflicts are much more important than a person’s body language.”
Moreover, people who lean towards their partner; It is described by psychologists not as “addict” but as “a person who wants to establish a connection”.
When we observe our own relationships or those around us, we have noticed that in most couples there is someone who is more close to their partner. These people may generally show their commitment, love or interest in a relationship, or they may just tend to be close. Naturally, this behavior does not reflect any “addiction” situation as mentioned in the TikTok theory.
In fact, in our opinion, look for a problem in your partner who is not close to you, because no matter what, the lack of any sign of closeness in the relationship can sometimes be exhausting for the other party. We cannot say that the person who does not show closeness does not love you, but doesn’t one want to show some love to the one he loves at the end of the day? 🙂
