Men Are ‘Rawdogging’ Flights Just to Feel Something

There are a lot of great ways to spend a long flight.

You could catch up on your book club’s newest selection, watch a movie you've already seen five times or expense some overpriced wifi and get a little work done (aka look for a fun new outfit). But at the very least, you’re probably doing something with that time. However, a trend on TikTok shows us that doing nothing might be the hottest new thing to do while cruising at 10,000 feet.

If you just read that and thought, “What in the world are you talking about?” here's a bit of context. In a recent TikTok that’s been making the rounds, men are listing out what they’re skipping during long flights. For example, “Just rawdogged a 7hr flight (new personal best), no headphones, no movie, no water, nothing. Incredible. The power of my mind knows no bounds.”

Is this a reaction to the constant overstimulation many of us experience from our screens 24/7? Maybe. Do some of these individuals also seem like they could use a hug? Also maybe. Sounds to us like they're taking the whole 'quiet life' travel thing a little too seriously.
