Let's be honest: we've all paused mid-scroll when Michael B. Jordan's name pops up in a headline. The man has a dating history that reads less like a tabloid timeline and more like a couture-level crush list. The question our article poses, "How does one get added to this list? Asking for a friend.", is the kind of playful, slightly desperate inquiry that lives in group chats after one too many glasses of rosé. And honestly? We get it. We're asking the same thing.
But here's the thing about crush lists: they're aspirational, not instructional. This isn't a step-by-step guide to landing a red-carpet-adjacent romance, because that's not how glamour works. Glamour is about the fantasy, the chaos, the unspoken rules of attraction that make no logical sense but feel absolutely correct in the moment. Look at how we've watched Alix Earle and Áron Piper: Decoding the Latest Romance Rumors play out, the internet dissects every glance, every Instagram story, every "coincidental" location tag. We treat celebrity dating like a puzzle we're meant to solve, when really, it's just a series of spontaneous, often ridiculous human decisions. Michael B. Jordan's history is no different. He's a person, not a prize.
So what's our honest take? The question "how do you get added to this list" misses the point. The real question is: why do we want to be on it? Because we've bought into the idea that proximity to someone else's confidence and success will somehow transfer those qualities to us. It won't. That's not how confidence works. Confidence is built in your own kitchen, practicing your own walk, wearing your own version of glamour, even if that version involves a designer gown and Target snacks in your bag. We saw something similar play out with Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero": Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner Drama?, the public's obsession with who dated whom, and when, and why. It's entertaining, sure. But it's not a blueprint.
Here's the takeaway you can quote: Michael B. Jordan's dating history is a fun distraction, not a relationship manual. The energy you're spending trying to decode his type would be better spent figuring out your own. What do you find attractive? What makes you feel confident? What kind of chaos are you willing to invite into your life? Those are the questions that actually matter. The crush list is just a mirror, it reflects what we think we want. The hard part is looking at that reflection and realizing you might want something else entirely.
So, to the friend asking: stop looking for the formula. The formula doesn't exist. Instead, watch how Gaga handles her next chapter, with couture, chaos, and a baby on the way. She's not asking for permission. She's not trying to get on anyone's list. She's making her own. That's the move.
