100% honest: I started to read them, they were telling a story and I tuned out. Either get to the meat of what you were writing about or don't bother.
You're trying to engage me in a conversation about articles you did not read? At least read the second one, fuck.
When you read J. P.'s book (and by read: I mean
read, not audiobook.
Read) and post a fucking book report, I'll read your articles. How about that?
1. Why? if that's what i was thinking of last month after observing it happening? Where does this narrative come from? It's a legitimate question. TV or not.
2. No. That's not how it went. And being valid for men and women isn't the point. WHY are they pushing this narrative that it's something women should be wanting to strive for?
Ok, so the top is manipulating this narrative trying to get more women in the workforce to exploit in Americas fucked up job culture? Ok, that's a point made in the second piece.
1. Because you go off on tangents and think a
TV show scene is somehow going to further your point while missing what I'm asking for. That's it.
2. Because believe it or not,
men are slowly becoming less the majority. IIRC my population statistics right. That aside,
most 20-30 year olds are struggling. In their own way. Some of these folks have to work their asses off to make ends meet. So they have no time for dating (oh, hey, bringing this to where I was wanting to go!). Why is that a hard concept for you? You're asking "why are women striving to work themselves to death" and the answer would be "because they want to be a strong independent woman that don't need no man™"</meme> How is that foreign concept for you?
My opinion on the dating app is pretty aligned with the writers. It's not a good system overall for most people, and it's not sustainable. Further, the combination of social media, feminism, and these narratives are just leading to some really fucked up twisted shit. White Knights make it worse, they think they're the reasonable guys but they're just playing a long and being manipulated.
I'm not sure what city or country you're in but i see the difference between the U.S and various South American countries. Big differences. The U.S is bad, it's even bad between states. Some states are far worse than others. The younger generation girls are completely warped, there's no rescuing some of them until they hit their mid 30s and start to panic.
Now, don't take this as a 'salty' post. I've had success on Tinder but that doesn't mean i don't recognize how fucked up it is. I see how some of these lesser attractive women all of a sudden walk around as if they're 8s and 9s and they don't even break past 5. That's fucking crazy.
Again, like the article says. This is not sustainable for anyone, male or female.
Congrats on giving a point without using a url as if people are going to read it. *applause* Bravo. Now then:
I agree with you (hold up, let me finish) in the sense that dating apps are
very fucking poor for actual relationships. Speaking from experience (Grindr[Gay], Tindr [Male/Female], Scruff [Gay], Hornet[Gay], Blendr[Straight-ish, may have some gay]) I can tell you a
lot of people will match with you and then
never say anything to each other. It's one of the most bizarre things I have ever witnessed as a young-ish person. That aside, they give a "convenience" in that you're able to judge a person on their looks instead of mostly blind-dating.
Now I agree with you in the sense that some people that are "5"'s (ugh)think they're "8" or "9"s because they have
self-esteem that makes them think they're better than they really are. But that's something that dating apps themselves aren't really going to fix. Or in other words: That's not really the dating apps fault.
Let's go with your "warped" comment. Elaborate on that for me, please? Because full honesty, I wouldn't have experience with the younger generation.
