The only thing sweeter than a donut is … a rat bringing one to his rodent girlfriend.
In a viral shared by user @, a rat in a Manhattan subway station looks like he has a dessert date planned.
The rodent at the start of the clip drags a glazed donut along the subway tracks, begging comparison to the famous of 2015. But this rat isn't hogging their treat. Later in the video, the rat runs with the donut in its mouth before another rat pops out, and then the two both grab the baked good and enjoy it together.
"Some of the men in this city need lessons in chivalry," wrote the video's poster, Carly Hittner, who shared the clip on TikTok on Wednesday, "Donut rat treats his woman better than half you other rats in this city."
Commenters agreed, like one user who wrote, "true breadwinner" and another who chimed in, "a high-value man." The official Tinder account even commented, "Now this is romance." As of Friday afternoon, the TikTok video had over 2.4 million views.
