So, to conduct this test, approach your partner with an orange and if they peel it for you, they pass the ‘Orange Peel Theory’ test. Many internet users have shared how their partners did the simple act without even thinking twice.
According to Gen-Z, small gestures go a long way. The viral theory supports that a partner who does little things to make your life easier is a keeper. These acts should however be voluntary and not forced upon them. The test tells you if your partner has the capability of doing little things for you and if they understand your needs.
While Gen-Z have their own parameter to judge relationship, it is important to note that not everyone shows affection in the same way. Failing the 'Orange Peel Theory' is not enough proof that your relationship or partner is not putting an effort.
At the same time, it is important to note that passing the 'Orange Peel Theory' test is not a guarantee for love or comittment.
