I don’t know about you, but when it comes to talking to guys, I need to make sure I know my information.
For instance…
Age, school, and whether he’s hooking up with the sorority girl who’s commenting on his pics and he claims is just a friend.
Enter: Tea.
Tea, in their own words, is: “Tea is more than an app; it’s a sisterhood. Together, we’re redefining modern dating. Plus, we give back—10% of profits are donated to the National Domestic Violence Hotline.”
How I Found Out About It
I will never forget when I was first introduced to Tea. I was at Fred’s (iykyk), and one of my best friends showed me a picture of some guy. Suddenly, BOOM—his entire history popped up like an FBI file I didn’t even have to pay for.
Past situationships? There.
Red flags? THERE.
Girls saying he has a secret girlfriend? Also there.
There I was, searching every man I’ve ever loved (and hated) like I had a burn book in my hand and a glass of wine in the other. Mr. Spotlight? There. The one who ghosted me after spring break? Yep. Even that quiet boy from English class? Him too.
Why Tea Is a Game-Changer
- 📱 It’s giving transparency and accountability in a way we’ve never seen before.
- 🫖 You can actually see what other women say before wasting time on a walking red flag.
- 💅🏾 It feels like a protective big sister built into your phone.
And if you’re someone who’s always getting the ick after the third date when the mask starts to slip? This app is your pre-screening BFF.
The Part Where We Keep It Real
As much as I love the Tea app, let’s not act like it’s flawless. One thing to keep in mind? There’s no ironclad way to verify every story shared on the platform. And while most girls are out here being honest and helpful, I’ve also seen the dark side…
Like that one time a group of girls submitted a fake review as a prank just to mess with a guy they didn’t like. Yeah. Not cool. Messy with purpose? Yes. Petty for clout? Absolutely not.
This isn’t to say you shouldn’t trust what you see—but take everything with a grain of Himalayan salt. Use it as one layer of information, not the full story. Cross-reference, trust your gut, and don’t let one anonymous comment throw your whole vibe off.
Because at the end of the day, Tea is a tool—not the Bible. Use it wisely.
Final Sip
If you’ve ever been blindsided, breadcrumbed, or just straight-up lied to—Tea gives you the power to enter a new dynamic a little more informed and a lot more confident.
It’s not about being paranoid. It’s about being prepared.
So next time you meet a guy who “seems too good to be true”… maybe he is. Or maybe he just has a review or two. Either way, you deserve to know.
Go ahead and download Tea. And tell them your Chief Spiral Officer sent you 😉
