RE: You Do You: Is Modern Dating Cringy or What?

in Rant, Complain, Talklast year

There’s really been a hell of a lot of awesome posts in this community let me tell you! Thank you for dropping this gem here!

I think we have certainly gone pretty far afield when it comes to getting rid of morals and decency. Getting straight to the point that the guy did without even beating around the bush about it is absolutely wild. It’s also pathetic if you ask me. Shouldn’t those things be something we learn as we go? Rather than just jump right into the bottom of the pit, take a stroll around for fun and the scenery? It’s sad that it occurred that way, honestly.

I think this is absolutely a product of the widespread cultural Marxism that’s been burning like a gas-fed fire. It’s really crazy that we’ve become so hedonistic as a society that this shit occurs and in regular conversation rather than 9 months into a dating relationship.

I am hopeful that we can change the ship, get it back on the right course and I’m not talking of such from a moral high ground that is above others and reproach the way so many people think today. This petulant child way of thinking of things, that we should be allowed to get down to every whim and nobody can tell us otherwise is foolish. It’s the removal of the adults from order when you think about it. A group of elementary children, when left to their own devices without adult supervision will often just satisfy their whims regardless of the consequences because they don’t know any better. It seems like we are at that point right now and it’s scary and unnerving.

I’m hoping that the things I am teaching my son, and the way I try to impart knowledge and things on kids around us when they are there is going to have an impact on them so we can change the direction we are headed in now. As builder said, when men don’t have a family or prospects for obtaining one and have nothing else to do, that’s a dangerous recipe.

Hi! Thanks for checking this out! :D

I wondered the same. The event itself was far less interesting to me as the realization that people genuinely don't know/ignore these social basics.

100%. I recently finished John Kim's I Used to be a Miserable Fck*. In it, he makes a lot of distinction between what men behave like, and what boys do. I've been using it to examine my own interactions, and categorize between adult and child behavior. It's fascinating, but tiring. It's time to let the adults in charge now.

I've no doubt it will. It starts with teaching future generations the right values. That it's, as you so beautifully put it, worth taking in the sights. :) I appreciate this lovely comment. Thank you.
