If there’s one thing sports media personality Joy Taylor has made clear, it’s that her standards in dating are not up for negotiation.
In a recent conversation, Taylor said she has “no time for riff-raff” when it comes to relationships. And honestly, she said it with the kind of confidence that makes you believe she already blocked half the internet just for thinking about approaching her.
According to Taylor, her dating standards are high. Very high. Not “you must have a good job and kind personality” high. More like “do not even breathe in my direction unless your life is organized, funded, and emotionally stable” high.
And honestly, she seems perfectly fine with that.
The phrase “no time for riff-raff” immediately went viral because people love a strong relationship boundary statement, especially when it sounds like it came from someone who has zero interest in entertaining nonsense.
When your brother is Jason Taylor, the standard is already pretty high 😂

Social media, of course, had opinions. Some praised her for knowing her worth, others acted personally attacked, as if “riff-raff” was a targeted group meeting in secret somewhere.
But Taylor’s message was simple: she knows what she wants, and she is not lowering the bar for anyone who arrives late, unprepared, or emotionally chaotic.
In short, Taylor’s high standards all boil down to money, fame and whatever these women love in men.
Whether people agree with her or not, her stance is clear: she is not entertaining chaos, confusion, or “almost good enough.”
So if anyone was planning to apply for the position, they might want to double-check their qualifications first, because according to Joy Taylor, there is no time for riff-raff.
And honestly, she sounds like she means every word of it, until the men she thinks have those qualities reject her for obvious reasons.
