Speaking in a viral video, she questioned why most men do not go through their girlfriends’ phones, unlike women who often check their partners’ messages out of curiosity or suspicion.
The young woman said she had noticed how men rarely show interest in their partners’ private conversations, even when their girlfriends’ phones are left unlocked.
She wondered whether this calmness came from trust, indifference, or fear of discovering the truth.
“Why is it that most guys don’t like going through their girlfriends’ phones?” she asked passionately.
“Yes, compared to the way girls like to go through their boyfriends’ phones, there are some guys who can never do that even if the phone is unlocked right beside them.”
Her question has since ignited a wave of online reactions, with many admitting they had also asked themselves the same thing at some point.
Some men argued that they avoided checking their partners’ phones to protect their peace, while others believed it was a sign of emotional maturity.

Many users confessed that they had never looked through their partners’ devices since their relationships began, preferring not to disturb the fragile trust they had built.
Others admitted that the fear of seeing something painful was a reason most men stayed away from such discoveries.
