      Well you know what? That should have been preached even more for societal expectations too, but the price could be hefty: your livelihood. Smh, but painfully real.
      Low-quality society also downs your chance to have the right partner, friends, and again the livelihood.
      Great society/civilization makes great partnerships thus makes great pillars of the community, and it takes that to raise a good human being (or any living being actually), no less.

    It’s the “hyperfantasization” of love and romance from growing up in such a media exposed age that’s lead to unrealistic expectations for our love lives. It works in tandem with our unrealistic expectations for ourselves.
    Thankfully, our generation values friendships deeply, and with such support from relationships with people that accept us for who we are, we can work towards recontextualizing what it means to love and be loved.

      Nah. Men are just failing to meet women's needs and interests (like being romantic instead of explicit) - you act like the world wasn't just a little more romance-focused and had more romantic gestures more commonly in the 50's and earlier. The era when men acted a gentleman. It's reflected in how pg13 the lyrics in pop music were. Now it's just explicit degrading sht in rap videos. Women don't have unrealistic expectations - and some women's lives _are_ filled with romance. It could just be that Zoe is not socializing with enough men to have those opportunities (any woman who's a pure homebody is gonna complain that no man ever approaches her). Apart from living LA and LA culture - what's affecting her chances?
      Mind you, women are delivering on their end (satisfying men's need for s#x) for men of this generation to feel like they're in paradise: how common is non-committal s#x in this hook up culture? Men are sleeping with new women on the regular. But since many men are selfish they're not interested in satisfying women's needs, which is romance and romantic gestures.
      But if you were speaking of m e d I a that's degrading women rather the stereotypical romcoms then my bad and I misunderstood you.

      @bethanyroche8927 3 місяці тому +3

      @corpsefoot758 I mean there are different kinds of relationships that can fulfill your life but when people say this they're often referring to the idea that you shouldn't date for the sake of it because you're more likely to be in worse relationships which can make your life a lot worse. It's better to be single and wait for someone to come along that's good for you instead of depressing yourself over someone who clearly wasn't (but, of course, if you're not used to relationships, it will inevitably feel like the end of the world, unlike when you're older and more experienced and can handle not getting together with someone)

      I feel like we want to be in a relationship for the wrong reasons, it's mostly because we want to do just like the others or because we're so drowned out by romance in series, books, and even in real life, that we feel like we're not normal because we haven't yet experienced love. So we pressure ourselves and even sometimes get scared thinking about the fact that maybe we would never find love. But everybody do, one day or another. I mean I don't know any adult who has never been in a relationship. But the older you get, the more pressure you put on yourself. And it's, let's be honest, only because of the societal scenery that only emphasizes love, marriage and children. That's why it's for the wrong reasons, cause we don't really want it (as you said it yourself), we do it unconsciously for others.

    I’m in a domestic violence relationship. Let me say one thing. When you see red flags in the early stages walk away. It’s better to leave and be alone and try again. Once you’re fully in the abusive relationship and the cycles of abuse start, it’s almost impossible to get out. I have been trying to leave for a year now. Please please please make sure you pay attention. If you’re in the UK, you can call the police using Clare’s law to find out if the person you are interested in has any dv charges.

    When I met my fiancée, both of us didn't love each other at the beginning 😂 We met, because we both were dedicated to find a partner for life. We both were hurt too many times, so at the first date we discussed kids, family and plans for furure. I wold say, I startedd have a "feelings" to him after a week of us dating? My point is, true love not alway start with a "crush" or "he/she has perfect looks". Sometimes it starts with logical thinking, and you know what?

      @ruthnacht 7 місяців тому +10

      you say it started with logical thinking but you said you discussed family and kids on the first date? Jumping to end game conversations when you guys have literally no temporal connection in eachother seems very hastey and illogical. I dont know how long you guys have known eachother, but typically after 2 years the honeymoon phase neurochemicals run out. Hopefully your perception of him is real, because it sounds like you guys both did alot of fantasization (judging by the fact you rushed). Try listing out the positive attributes your partner has, but critically ask how unique those attributes are to him? is he really that special? Are those the things you fell in love with?

    • @Camelia_Ihrin
      @Camelia_Ihrin 7 місяців тому +45

      @ruthnacht well, none of us is "special." We both are awarage people with awarage jobs that were seeking companionship and found each other attractive enough to start a conversation. The reason why we discussed life goals on a first date, mostly in order not to waste each other's time. Over time, we fell in love. All I'm saying is that sometimes love story doesn't start with "crush."

    • @ruthnacht
      @ruthnacht 7 місяців тому +1

      @@kK-iv3hc Because when two people 'are hurt so many times' and then talk about the 'important things first' it implies that it was the priority. Successful relationships (prolonged state of bliss) require connecting on a deeper level. NON of those relationships start from burnt out people settling down. That typically is just people with mediocre chemistry but similar ideals just hedging their bets. Its most of the time honeymoon phase neurochemicals giving the facade of love in that case. No where did they talk about unique characteristics of the individual they fell in love with. I cant stress enough how important it is. Peoples words are just a fragment of the time they said it, its immensly common for things to start off big but then fizzle out with time. Its also similar to how most of my friends parents met, and their parents are all divorced

    Was in my first ever relationship at 25 last year... I was dumped and felt so broken, I cried for weeks barely ate. My friends were even telling me to not mess things up to play it cool when I started dating him. As soon as I brought up something that bothered me, boom dumped in less than a day and this was after I was so vulnerable with this man. First boyfriend, first kiss, first love and he has literally destroyed the confidence and self esteem I worked on. Now I haven't been taking dating seriously, went on a few hinge dates and all of them went nowhere. Till to this day I think of him, how breaking and shattering my heart was just so easy for him and how he moved on so quickly and blocked me. I moved cities I made some new friends rekindled with other older friends and working on myself. I am still working on self love its hard but I am trying. I still wish him the best and I hope he finds a woman he wants.

It's completely different than finding someone online because there's so much more that goes into it. You don't know if they like you are not and that's what makes it so much better when they say they do! That's why I've been going out more with friends because even if you don't meet a special someone you at least had an amazing time with friends.

    Yeah.. I’m 30, and same. I feel so inexperienced with this. Yet I’m so successful in other parts of my life. Being single is easier but it’s hard going on trips by myself ALL the time. Sometimes I want a male friend for.. stress relief 😂 it’s hard being a girl boss.

    Stay away from playing games and people who play games, those types of relationships don't last. Remember there is no perfect guy or girl, everyone has flaws. Just be yourself, if a man does not like this then it won't work out anyway. You are stuck on a guy who is not interested in anything other than a hookup, if they ghost and ignore you like that move on you are just wasting time.

    wow! this was very open and vulnerable and so well put together! i’ve been single my whole 24 years of living, but to be honest, ive never really been interested in dating. if it happens, awesome, but if not, i don’t really care. i just got my first major job out of college so im trying to focus on my career at the moment. even so, it would be nice to find someone that i can have that sort of connection with, but it’s always either the person i like doesn’t like me back or the people who like me turn out to be horrible 🤷🏻‍♀️

    If people weren't obsessing over romance and sex so much, we would all be more loving towards one another in general and platonic and familial relationships would be equally appreciated instead of treated as just insignificant placeholders. Growing into true healthy long-lasting love is way more important than "falling" in love and then act confused that your heart is in shambles.

    I used to fantasize about romantic relationships, but after I found out that I am asexual (not interested in sex), I accepted that I might not be in relationships for most of my life, and I am fine with that.
    Some of the people clicking on this video will be aromantic or asexual. Some people never fall in love, and that's okay.

    I'm 25 and single my entire life. No one is interested on me and I never felt desperate just to be in a relationship, although it's true that most of my former classmates are now married or has children, it never made me jealous. I still think they married too young, they are only 23's or younger . I'm 25 now and I'm happy to enjoy being single and spending time with my family and pets. I don't have any responsibilities of being a mother or a wife at such a young age like my classmates did. They could be happy in their choices and I'm happy that I am single and didn't rush things in my life. No regrets .

    Maybe because as a child I was so devoid of love as a daughter or a friend, and only saw cases of heartbreaks everywhere, I started to love myself in my teens way earlier than anyone of my age normally does... I loved being with myself and cherished Platonic friendship more than anything in my life... I still do... I accept myself as I am, I love the little gestures shows my friends care about me and love me... just love this life without a fear of heartbreak

    I was afraid of being too late, not partaking in high school love and entering this new chapter alone- while everybody had experienced so much already. But maybe it’s alright, it will come with time and for now? For now I will keep treasuring the relationships I already have in my life ❤

    • @thingymajig7604

      It can be hard having these feelings of missing out. You wonder if everyone else is so far ahead of you with experience that you could never hope to keep up. I don't think this is true. I am certainly a late bloomer. In school I didn't even really have friends let alone be in a relationship.
      A few years after leaving school I met my first partner. Like me they had not dated anyone before (well they had dated someone for a week in school but it doesn't really count). There are people out there just like you who will be in a similar position to you, just know there's a chance you make all the same mistakes you might do if you had that first love earlier. It can be a confusing thing to go through and knowing yourself is a good way to stay grounded through it to make sure that relationship stays strong if it is right.
      The next person had a lot more experience than me. I found that talking about feelings and listening to theirs helped build a stronger relationship. Lots of people who have experience believe they have it all figured out. Maybe they know how to make the approach and start things off but a lot of them are just as clueless as you and it is partly because they don't know how to communicate.
      My parents didn't end up coming together until middle age. I have seen them grow together and though they fight sometimes, like everyone else, they genuinely love each other.
      This is all to say that there isn't really a 'too late'.

    Zoe, you're not too quiet or too loud. You're too confident. Now wait. I am not trying to tell you to drop the confidence. Keep being the fabulous queen you are. The wrong men hate confident women. The right men love them, but also be aware of the men who want nothing more than to squash that confidence and to dull that sparkle in your eyes. You don't get approached or anything because you are top tier. The right guy will know to show up with flowers and a crown for only you. ❤️

    I broke up with my boyfriend last august. Harvey, he’s the love of my life. We've been together for almost 3 years (Nov. 29), and we’re each other's first love. We were so in love back then at the point that we missed each other every minute and we’re both genuinely happy when we’re together. He fulfills the love that my family never gave to me. This year our relationship started to experience ups and downs, and because of that we’ve become toxic to each other, to the point that we are arguing over small things. I know to myself that I still love him, so I decided to break up with him so that he can be happy again, and I don’t want to be the cause of his pain anymore. It’s almost 3 month after the break up, and I still love him, my heart misses him, and i’m still hoping that he will come back to me even though I know that he don’t want me anymore, I’m still waiting for him, and I don’t know how to move on to the guy that save me from taking my own life. I hope that he’s happy and living his own life now, I’m so happy seeing him happy. I hope I'll heal soon..

    In a situationship, which has been like living in a stupid echo chamber; wanting to give it my all, but also not feeling like it will be reciprocated and wasting my time. I have a healthy friend group, and hobbies. Felt like texting him, but didn't want to emotionally spiral, so did something useful with my time instead. You girlies got this! Try to have a fulfilled life without a partner. Good friends are a MUST! Also, I fell you when you say there are no "feelings" for said person. I always fall for the ones that are unattainable. 😩

      Why do girls nowadays do “situationships”? Why?

    • @thingymajig7604
      @thingymajig7604 7 місяців тому +3

      @@FoundSheep-AN I think the same reason men do. Hope. People hope that if they try hard enough and keep pleasing the other person, eventually the other person will see they are partner material and make it official. There is also fear; fear of never being able to find something again if you let it go. Abusers use this all the time and it can have a powerful hold on people, because at the end of the day, lots of people are illogical when it comes to the emotions and so what may seem as simple as leaving to some, may not be to the people trapped there.
