The quote that will instantly make you fall out of love with Paul Mescal. - Mamamia

Huh? Your biggest pet peeve is what other people do with their own time? Something that has literally nothing to do with you? The toxic-biohacking, grinding-bro, hustle-culture undertones are hard to ignore.I knew, deep down, that if a Paul Mescal-esque man appeared on my dating app and his bio prompt read, “My biggest pet peeve is… laziness” I wouldn’t swipe right. It screams judgment while also whispering, “I will be annoyed if you want to spend a Sunday doing absolutely nothing but watch reality TV and eat a family-sized bag of chips.”And that, my friends, was the beginning of the end. Of course, I have to give him his dues. A famous man openly talking about going to therapy (“Thank f*ck for therapy,” he says in Rolling Stone) is an incredibly important message and a massive green flag.But sorry girlies, the spell is broken. The illusion has shattered. The man who I thought was the sensitive, chain-wearing, Troy Bolton-y guy (his words, not mine) is actually just a dude who hates laziness, loves explaining the concept of live music, and is terrified you might think he cries. And that’s fine. It’s just not for me. The breakup is official. I wish him and his short-shorts well.Listen to Em Vernem talk more about Paul Mescal on The Spill below.
