They told her not to do it — but she did it anyway.

One night, after a glass of wine and a moment of quiet rebellion, Emily Ratajkowski decided to download a dating app. “Everyone said, ‘Don’t do it!’” she laughed. “But I’m a free, independent woman.”

Soon after joining Raya, she was flooded with messages — from both men and women. The stunning model, who’s been linked to Pete Davidson, admits she’s “not sure” love can be found there. “It feels… very white,” she said thoughtfully. “Like a particular kind of man — and woman.”

But her most surprising discovery? The endless stream of men posing mid-run. “Why do so many white men have pictures of themselves running?” she asked. “What are they trying to say with that?”

Her lighthearted comment instantly sparked a wave of reactions online — from laughter to reflection about modern dating and what we choose to show the world.

Maybe she’s right. Maybe in a world full of profiles and filters, the truest connection still begins offline.
