Does choosing to date someone you find less physically attractive than your usual preference lead to a kinder, more respectful, or more attentive partner? Welcome to "Shreking" the new modern dating down concept trend.    TOPIC: "Shreking" is a modern dating term referring to the act of dating someone you are not physically attracted to, in the belief that they will treat you better due to your perceived "higher value" or "more attractive" status. The term, inspired by the Shrek movie franchise, describes a situation where, instead of finding a supportive partner, you are hurt by the person you lowered your standards for, essentially becoming "a troll" rather than receiving the "princess treatment."   Outro Instrumental - "Prelude To War" by Bear McCreary
