I only keep writing about Emily Ratajkowski’s curious dating life because of how odd it all is. She’s demonstrably the best looking public woman out there today and yet she has become a very public serial dater. It makes you wonder if she suffers from a little bit of “Madonna in 1989 NYC-itis” or if it’s all some sort of extended romantic PR stunt.
Or, put another way, Emrata is such a gorgeous bombshell of a woman — at least to me — that the fact that she’s bouncing from man to man to (eventually woman?) is of note. It’s not like she’s just another young woman who wants to have fun dating a lot of men.
She has fans — like me — who struggle to understand what’s going on when she is seen with man after man when she could very well just find A Stud and have an extended PR relationship with him and I could go back to just enjoying her occasional sexxy snap.
The fact that I’m writing about this AGAIN makes me worry that I have some sort of parasocial relationship with her. That’s a good question. No, I don’t think it’s THAT bad. I do think because I have an eye for beauty that I do have a low-key emotional investment in who she’s dating at any particular moment. I think some of it is that there may be a pretty big difference between her public persona and her actual personality.
I think she enjoys the attention for the very thing that’s making me uneasy — bouncing from man to man in a very public manner. Why Emrata is on Raya is beyond me. She has no need to be on a dating service — even if it’s for The Beautiful People.
I guess it could be worse, she could be dating someone like Marylin Manson. Ugh.
Anyway, good luck finding a long-term beau, Ermata.
