He noted that the situation often affects their ability to focus on learning the tailoring profession, making it difficult for them to gain the knowledge and experience they came for.

The tailor did not indicate that the decision would be permanent, noting instead that he had stopped accepting female apprentices 'for now'.

His revelation quickly attracted attention on social media, with many users sharing differing opinions on whether such experiences were enough to justify his decision.

While explaining his stance, the tailor maintained that his priority was ensuring apprentices acquired the necessary skills to succeed in the fashion industry.

According to him, once romantic feelings begin to develop, the training process is no longer as effective because attention shifts away from learning the craft.
