Love at First Sight? And a little immodesty goes a long way...

[@Beatnik59]

I don't think the problem these days is primarily a "love at first sight" problem. I mean, it's still there. I see it very rarely in life as much as I see it through social media. A boy sees a girl on Instagram, and has a few interactions with her that make him feel special. Then he's head over heels, sending her money, buying things for her, and that sort of thing. Same thing with the women. They see some hot guy with a high paying job flaunt a lot of success, and then she's lovesick. Maybe she gets "flown in" to keep him company, thinking this is a "forever" thing. But it hardly ever is. But I'm afraid "love at first sight" is not the worst problem I see, not when marriage rates are at historic lows, 53% of men have never been in a relationship, and women are perplexed on where the "good men" are. Instead, I see "scrub at first sight" as the symptom of this age. By that I mean the propensity of people to reject others that might be very good for them on sight, without even the most cursory understanding of who these people are. The logic makes sense. Getting to know somebody is an investment of time which risks hurt. And so I understand why many women (and an increasing number of men) simply reject anybody on sight without some information on whether this person is "worth" it. And from the data I see, an increasingly large pool of people just aren't. See Reneé, we come from a different age, back when some random dude could strike up a conversation with some rude girl in law school at the supermarket, and have it lead somewhere. These days, that same girl would be just as likely to call the manager or the police, file a claim for harassment, film it all to shame that man on TikTok, and make a stand on how inappropriate it all is. For who gave that man the right to do that, and not even give the poor girl the choice to swipe left or right after seeing the man's income level, his Instagram, and going through several texting sessions saying "hey" back and forth? That's the truth of this age.

"scrub at first sight" is very true...

I think you make a lot of these videos out of resentment for your experience with trads. Not sure it's healthy. Perhaps for the good of your own psyche, your own soul, you should reconsider doing these videos. Peace be with you.

@@johnchurch160 This video has nothing to do with Trads. I'm recreating the content I once had on Twitter. Anyways... It's not resentment when I get comments like this from Trads. See the video link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHPTZHqgocariNUsi=O0zIl3Y0tLvpodjA
