LOVE Island legend Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has urged single men to “stop being idiots” in a furious rant after splitting from Curtis Pritchard.
The TV star told followers that her “blood was boiling” and that she is struggling with the standard of dating in 2025.
Ekin and the Love Island hunk split after just three weeks of dating following their time on the second All Stars series in January.
In a TikTok video, she sat down to address her grievances with men’s attitudes toward dating.
She said: “It is absolutely frustrating me, it is infuriating me, it is making my blood boil.
“I am hearing stories all the time from friends, I don’t even know, people I do know, people on the street, random conversations that dating is really hard.
“I’m hearing that they’re getting ghosted, I’m hearing that guy is seeing multiple women or doesn’t know what he wants, and I’m just like – wow, what is going on?
“I would say let’s go back 10 years ago. I don’t think it was this bad.
“I don’t know what’s going on with relationships, I don’t know what’s going on with people’s intentions, but people seem to be getting bored very easily.”
Wearing a striped tank top and minimal make-up, Ekin-Su looked effortlessly beautiful as she talked to the camera.
“That is the problem. People seem to be wanting more than the grass is a lot greener on the other side,” she continued.
“They think that what they have, they might find a better version or something gives them the ick.”
She urged people to “focus on flourishing the grass in front of you” and sent the message to uncommitted men that “the grass isn’t always greener”.
She also said that women needed to remember to know their worth and not let others “walk all over them”.
Ekin added: “Love comes from within, love comes from yourself, really love yourself and then you’ll find someone who’s whole and loves themselves and then you can be together.
“Guys, wake up. Stop being idiots and take that girl on a date and spoil her and treat her right because the grass is not that green.”
Back in May, a source close to Ekin and Curtis told The Sun of the break-up: “It was very much a mutual decision, but it happened very recently in the last few days.
“It certainly wasn’t weeks in the making, so it’s still raw for them both but they had a series of crisis talks in the recent days which were emotional for them both.
“They wanted to make it work, but they felt they like they were growing apart and they couldn’t see a way forward.
“One of the biggest issues for their relationship was their busy careers – it sounds like a cliche but Ekin, 30, is getting a lot of work opportunities out in America, while Curtis, 29, is focussing on his burgeoning boxing career as well as his new investment app.
“As they are both so busy, it was becoming harder to prioritise the relationship and they realised that wasn’t a good sign.
“They are still on really good terms and it’s all very amicable.
“Nobody was blindsided, so there is no bad blood between them.”
