Media personality and lifestyle influencer Toke Makinwa has sparked fresh conversation with a bold message to women and young people about relationships: don’t compromise your standards.
On a recent episode of her podcast, Makinwa spoke candidly about the pressure society places on individuals especially women to lower their expectations for the sake of love or acceptance.
Speaking with confidence and conviction, she said people have every right to seek partners who match their energy, ambitions, and values. “You don’t have to settle just because others say your standards are too high,” she insisted. “There’s someone out there who wants exactly what you want.”
She challenged the culture of shaming women who are upfront about wanting financially stable partners, labeling such judgment as a projection of personal insecurity.
Instead, she urged listeners to prioritize their self-worth and not apologize for having preferences. “If you’re not what someone wants, you can simply move on. There’s no need to insult or tear each other down,” Makinwa added.
Drawing from her own experiences, the media personality encouraged women not to be silenced by societal labels like “materialistic” or “demanding.”
For her, relationships should be based on mutual respect and alignment not compromise that leads to resentment. She emphasized that people should embrace who they are without shame, and never let outside noise dictate what they deserve in love.
Known for her outspoken stance on relationships and self-empowerment, Toke’s message quickly resonated online, sparking debates and praise in equal measure. While some critics believe high standards can be unrealistic, many others agreed with her empowering call to “stop settling.”
With millions of followers and a platform that reaches far beyond entertainment, Toke Makinwa continues to use her voice to challenge the norm and promote self-love in today’s fast-paced relationship culture.
