    Almost all of our expectations about love and relationships have been set by Hollywood.
    The problem is that these movies are putting absurd ideas into your mind about what love really looks like, which can lead to some boneheaded decision making, maybe even ruining what could have been a great relationship.
    So in this video we’ll look at 8 ways Hollywood ruins your relationships.
    ⏰TIMESTAMPS⏰
    0:32 - #1: Movies train us to substitute emotional intensity for emotional quality.
    2:09 - #2: The perfect person will magically take interest because they see the real you deep inside.
    3:20 - #3: Love at first sight
    4:13 - #4: Love, in Hollywood, is proven by ignoring explicit rejection.
    5:43 - #5: Giving large unrequested gifts as a way to make amends.
    7:14 - #6: Pursuing someone who is currently in a relationship is romantic and not at all doomed to failure.
    8:12 - #7: Suffering, dependence and self sacrifice are all treated as indicators of love.
    9:22 - #8: A romantic relationship is the solution to the problem of life.

    The fact life is not complete unless we have a romance, is the single worst lesson Hollywood teaches us. It causes so much pain and suffering. The work has to be done on our own, single. Not to be saved by someone else. Amen brother.

      Xanthippus Facts and they say “art reflects life” well not everybody ends up in a romantic relationship with the love of their dreams. Hollywood and the UA-cam film community need to stfu about that. I mean people say Peter Parker is super relatable but he always gets these hot chicks who are way above his league, that usually doesn’t happen to every nerd that ends up a loser. And that’s why it’s irritating to watch every single movie, even ones I enjoy like Deadpool and Baby Driver have so much damn emphasis on romance that I can’t relate to and it’s frustrating where the majority praises and “relates to that”. One of the billion reasons I HATE Society and Humanity.

      Im being facetious here, but you definitely missed the mark on that point. I've had self-confidence issues my entire life, and see myself as uninteresting and not put together. But in the relationships I've been in, the other person saw something attractive and worth loving, despite the fact I couldn't see it. I came into both of my relationships partially by happenstance, just being there in that person's life at the right time when I wasn't looking for anything bc I felt I wasn't capable or desrving. For people who never ended up having a relationship, this message will just feed the negative thought loops and drag their self-worth down.
      You don't have to be a risk taker, or incredibly passionate, or a big hunk, orbe aggressively pursuing someone to find love Sometimes you'll just meet someone who just finds you interesting, and showing that you're interested in them can get the ball rolling. You can build a relationship through comfort and kindness, being the person willing to be there for them when they need refuge from the world.

When I told them that I don't want an engagement ring because I don't need it and I believe there are better ways to spend the money they were like: "don't say it to your boyfriend or he won't buy you a ring!!! Everybody wants a ring!" Also, apparently, the bigger and the more expensive ring he buys, the more he loves you 🤷

We don't need to make a scene to ask somebody out. We don't need to abandon our friends and family to have a serious romance. We don't need to be the dramatic badass to keep someone interested. And Yes, straight men and women CAN have deep friendships, and those who think otherwise are the ones who are easily swayed by hollywood. Great video, Charisma. I hope this gets millions of views.

I mean, I always took people for their word, I do not insist, but after 28 years being like this I realized there are some situations and people that insisting is necessary.

      Insisting is terrible. It shows you lack options, that you don't accept rejection and that you depend on another person. Also, even if a woman is OK with you insisting and later becomes your gf, she will be more eager to manipulate you and to get what she wants, because she knows you depend on her judgement to act and that you are below her level... So, no... insisting won't do any good and it's better to move on to someone who really likes you just as you are at the moment you meet her.

      It wasn't her fault. If she didn't have good examples of healthy romantic relationships growing up (parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, etc) then she turned to movies and books. Most women under 40 are like this. It's videos like this that help us become conscious of ourselves and our behaviors.

      Grillidan,
      I wouldn’t make such a sweeping generalization about women not being able to handle their true selves. Women, by nature, are more intuitive and introspective than men are. However, many women are unconscious of their behavior patterns. There is absolutely no way for them to know what they’re doing unless they see a therapist, learn about psychology, or watch videos like this. I’m not excusing bad behavior, just giving an explanation for it.

      Laurie Tyler Facts and they say “art reflects life” well not everybody ends up in a romantic relationship with the love of their dreams. Hollywood and the UA-cam film community need to stfu about that. I mean people say Peter Parker is super relatable but he always gets these hot chicks who are way above his league, that usually doesn’t happen to every nerd that ends up a loser. And that’s why it’s irritating to watch every single movie, even ones I enjoy like Deadpool and Baby Driver have so much damn emphasis on romance that I can’t relate to and it’s frustrating where the majority praises and “relates to that”. One of the billion reasons I HATE Society and Humanity.

    This is an amazing video brother and this problem goes even deeper than Hollywood. The belief that love requires suffering, sacrifice, and pain has been espoused by Christ’s death on the cross as the ULTIMATE example of love in the Christian faith. Part of me still sees something so beautiful about the idea that one’s willingness to suffer or endure pain reveals the level of love you have for another, while a more objective side of me now sees the negative implications of this kind of belief. I am working to undo that belief so I can live with less ups and downs in my relationships. As you said, I will actively choose emotional QUALITY over emotional intensity. Thank you Charlie

Sure, they speed some things up because each one takes place in a day, but there are no grand gestures of love or anything, it’s all just two people finding a connection within each other by talking.

When we see her photos at the end of the movie, we can see that even though he was gone, she had a long and very fulfilling life. That is how you do a romance right. Whether they end up together in the end or not, the two have to bring out the best in each other and they still have to be strong on their own.

Trust me it wasn’t like in the movies. I felt awful and the boundaries of our friendship shifted. I explained that by boyfriend comes first I think he hoped by saying this I would somehow leave my boyfriend to be with him and run off into the sunset together (Again like your video taking movie scenarios) He was gutted when I said no and has been weird with me since. Yes it’s flattering but when it’s your best friend who you see like a brother it’s gone so weird now I miss our friendship and never wanted to think I was leading him on.

Very thankful for our peaceful life together. It's so sad seeing movie characters and then people in real life follow the "drama recipe" and do not appreciate a simple and peaceful life. Some people even feel weird or look down on people who are just having a peaceful life.
    People, waking up in the morning, content with yourself, being responsible and having a responsible spouse to hug and to support you and you support them is amazing. Cherish that if you are married. No need to look for drama or tragedy.
