Things I Don't Care About As A Chill Girlfriend

2024video trendtrending

Published November 14, 2026

Women on TikTok and Instagram Reels call themselves "chill girlfriends" and list either the rules they set for their partners or the things they don't mind their partners doing, framed as proof of a low-maintenance approach to dating. The format began in April 2024 with a TikTok by @chloevanberkel and broke out again in mid-2026, when parody videos pushing the stereotype into absurd territory took over the same feeds.

Overview

Things I Don't Care About As A Chill Girlfriend, also known as Rules As A Chill GF, covers two closely linked video setups. In one, a woman faces the camera and reads off her "rules" for a partner, often framed as lenient (nights out without check-ins, texting other women). In the other, the speaker lists things she does not care about a partner doing, in the same deadpan or flirty delivery. Posts usually run under a minute and lean on the direct-address style common to TikTok confessional videos1.

Tone sits between sincere and self-aware. Some creators play it straight as a flex about their easygoing nature, while others dial the rules up until the "chill" framing collapses into obvious parody3, listing items no partner would accept or normalizing behavior most viewers would read as a red flag5. Comment sections are a core part of the format, where viewers argue over whether any specific creator is actually chill or in denial.

TikToker @chloevanberkel posted the earliest documented version on April 12, 2024, a short video walking through her personal rules as a self-described chill girlfriend1. The video reached more than 4.5 million views over the following two years and set the template other creators copied: direct-address delivery, a list of items, and the "chill girlfriend" phrase in the caption or opening line3.

How It Spread

Follow-ups appeared within months. On July 14, 2024, TikToker @sarah_arnaud posted her own rules-as-a-chill-GF video that passed 708,000 views in two years2.

The second half of 2026 was when the format broke out widely. @lenikoppkopp posted a "things I don't care about my partner doing" video on July 24, 2026, which drew over 8.6 million views in four months4. The video shifted the trend's wording away from "rules" and toward the "things I don't care about" framing, and later creators picked up that version.

Parody versions arrived alongside the sincere ones. On November 9, 2026, @carlyxspam posted a mock take listing absurd allowances for her boyfriend, including extra "outside time," drawing 4.6 million views in four days5. By that point, both earnest and satirical entries were circulating under the same hashtags on TikTok and Instagram Reels3.
