Nollywood veteran and fitness enthusiast Kate Henshaw has stirred a fresh wave of conversations online after posing a question many have been afraid to ask: “If love is truly blind, why does it seem to have 20/20 vision when it comes to physical appearance and wealth?” In a viral statement laced with wit and sarcasm, Henshaw poked holes in the oft-repeated phrase “love is blind,” pointing out that for many modern daters, love seems to come with a preference for 6’2 height, beards, abs, wealth, and a hint of spirituality. “They say ‘love is blind,’ but somehow, your own love wears designer glasses and only sees 6’2, beard gang, and a deep baritone voice,” she quipped. “Blindness where? Your love get premium vision jare.” Her hilarious but pointed commentary didn’t stop there. Henshaw asked when last anyone heard of someone falling madly in love with a man of “average height, struggling hairline, pot belly, and a humble salary.” “Exactly!” she adds, cheekily calling out the double standards. Henshaw’s observations reflect the unspoken pressure and often unrealistic expectations many place on love and dating. While physical attraction is natural, the emphasis on a checklist of looks, status, and personality traits often overshadows deeper qualities like kindness, patience, and emotional availability. “Your friends ask, ‘What do you like in a man?’ and you clear your throat and say, ‘He must be tall, dark, fine, have sense, money, and still fear God,’” she wrote. She closed the message with a playful jab: “God is probably in heaven looking at your request like: ‘Pick a struggle, my dear.’ ????” Her remarks have sparked mixed but lively reactions online, especially among women navigating modern dating culture. “She’s not lying! Some of us are too picky for people that haven’t even healed from their last heartbreak,” one user commented. “This is body-shaming disguised as humor,” another wrote. “Not funny if you’re a regular guy just trying to be loved.” Still, many applauded Henshaw for highlighting a **societal truth with humor** and a hint of satire. Kate Henshaw’s remarks serve as a mirror to society’s shifting values on relationships, where external attributes often get prioritized over compatibility, empathy, and growth.
