Denver man helps girlfriend with dinner. Now people are urging her to dump him after what he did: ‘I’d be so irritated’
The internet often debates how the bar for men nowadays couldn’t sink any lower, but if this man’s TikTok comments section is anything to go by, there’s a new record. Dakota (@dak2official5) was helping his girlfriend in the kitchen when a trick he attempted drew the ire of seemingly all the women on TikTok. Now, people are urging his girlfriend to dump him, but is it really that serious?
One chaotic toss, one very fed-up girlfriend yelling his name, and suddenly TikTok is treating this man like a walking red flag with a frying pan.
What Did Dakota Do?
If there’s one thing TikTok likes doing is dishing out judgments. Now, Dakota’s clip might only be seven seconds long, but it already has 8.7 million views and almost 4,000 comments.
The text overlay in his video reads: “POV your girl cooking dinner n u come out to help.” Dakota then grabs a pan of sautéeing potatoes off the stove burner, and he begins tossing them into the air. On his third toss, half of the potatoes miss the pan and fall onto the kitchen floor. Immediately, his off-screen girlfriend yells, “Dakota!” The TikTok ends in a cliffhanger.

Is it Really That Deep?
While some viewers are yelling weaponized incompetence, others are saying Dakota’s pulling some major ragebait. Countless viewers fully believe Dakota did it on purpose, despite his adamant response that he didn’t. However, he does seem to agree that everyone is taking it too seriously. Many comments call Dakota childish, irritating, and rude. His response? “How explain.”
As viewers kept writing their rage in the comments, Dakota kept giving one-worded quips. As for why he did what he did, his explanation was “intrusive thoughts.”
In an Instagram direct message to the Mary Sue, Dakota revealed he was indeed helping his girlfriend cook, an activity he says they often do together as “we both feel like it helps build our relationship better.”
As for the potato-toss-fail, Dakota shared, “My brother had asked me if I knew how to flip the potatoes so I recorded to show him and that’s what had happened.”
When asked about the comments urging his girlfriend to dump him, Dakota took it in stride.
“Me and my girl ignore the people in the comments!” he said. “They could never get under our skin we know what comes with a viral video and how the comments will be.”
Despite not being used to going viral, Dakota assures that it’s “okay” and that his girlfriend is handling the online fame pretty well.
Still, despite the couple being ubothered, folks didn’t hold back in giving unsolicited relationship advice.
‘Dump him’
As usual, viewers aren’t afraid to share their opinions. One viewer says, “This is genuinely childish.” While another states, “Nah cause what’s funny.”
Someone states, “Was the funny part you creating more work for her, or..?” Dakota responds with, “Ion mean to.”
Someone else says, “So thankful my bf doesn’t act like that.” Dakota replies, “What!?? Helpful.”
Others obviously share their thoughts on the relationship on a whole. “This is break up worthy,” says a viewer. Another simply writes, “#breakup.”
Another goes as far as to say, “I want to break up with you and i dont even know u.”
Dakota is certainly far from the first boyfriend to get an earful from online relationship investigators on what is breakup-worthy. Last year, a woman shared how her husband packed her lunch and included dog food in it. Despite her saying it was a “joke,” people side-eyed her hard. Needless to say, it’s quite strict over there on TikTok.
