Confidently Clingy: The Validation Marathon

A new dating trend dubbed the �Validation Marathon� encourages couples to be proudly clingy. Eyewitnesses described pairs holding hands while updating social media every five minutes. �We texted 400 times today�romance is alive,� one participant bragged. Single bystanders called it �emotional cardio.� Anonymous staffers at dating apps admitted the term was invented to reduce breakups. A fake poll revealed 46% think it�s sweet, 32% cringe, and 22% secretly envy the attention. Economists warn cling-based partnerships may reduce workplace output but boost emoji sales. For now, love has been rebranded as endurance sport. -- Bohiney Magazne bohiney.com
