Couples Are Now Doing Something Called The #SwitchItUpChallenge Where You Cross Dress As Your Significant Other

MTO – The new RAGE in social media challenges is called the “Switch It Up” challenge. The key to the challenge is that boyfriends and girlfriends exchange clothes – and post pics online of them wearing each others clothes.

As you can imagine, not everyone thinks it’s a GOOD LOOK for the guys.

I’m going to agree that it is not in fact a great look for guys — I’ve long had a theory that any dude who enthusiastically gets in a dress “for the lulz” for some hazing thing or Halloween or whatever has long had his eyes on a crossdresser’s life — but it is a great look for these relationships. I’m a commitmentphobic type and I can’t even muster enough energy to want to be in some girl’s Instagram pic or Snapchat let alone actually go to her friends’ birthdays or have a meaningful adult connection. Yet here these men are, so willingly giving up their public personas to make their girls happy and get a few extra likes on social media. I mean that one dude up there literally looks like Shaniqua from Martin:

(^quality but factual 25-year-old reference, kill me) and that’s going to be a photo of him that exists FOREVER. To me all that’s a big testament to their love. It’s bad enough when you have exes on your social media pics forever knowing that new girls will come across them. But these dudes not only have that, they’re tagged in a photo of them looking like little sweet boys next to their thuggish chick. That alone is enough to ensure that their loves are going to withstand the tests of time. Once you’ve stretched out your girl’s dress with your big man waist and have to slowly try to rip it off your body AND that’s been documented on the internet, you’re more married than married people. So yes, in a sense I admire them. A love so pure it cannot be contained solely by gender-specific wardrobe choices. Beautiful really.
