This Pretense is too much!

Hello everyone!


Some years ago—back in my first year in this Blockchain—I wrote about this same thing I want to emphasize in this article. That post, as I can remember, was centered on how everyone in a particular community was asked to write in response to a prompt on the subject of domestic violence. I took my time to read many entries, and no one—I mean absolutely no one—agreed to have been involved in it. That got me wondering because domestic violence is so common that it's hard to find someone who hasn't either experienced or practiced it in a group of 20 people....I mean in a relationship Okay, that was understandable. Let me leave it at that.

My buzzing today is centered on DOUBLE DATING. Some weeks ago, I came across a prompt on this subject, and everyone who wrote about it kicked against the lifestyle of double dating, claiming they don’t get involved in it. Source

Haaaaaa! I was shocked because double dating is a big trend in the world currently. It’s almost impossible not to find people who are double dating when you take a count of five relationships. Yes, it's as bad as that.
Does that mean everyone(up to 100) who responded to the prompt is a saint? No way! People are good at lying. No one wants to be seen as the bad egg in public, and this really sucks.

The double dating here does not mean that maybe you're currently doing it now, it could be that you once did it and maybe that lead to the marriage or relationship you're now. But no! No one agreed to have done it before.😂

I don’t understand how people are so comfortable with pretense. It makes me think deeply whenever I come across things like this. Why can’t people be real for once?

Now, I’m not saying this because I’m a saint—far from it. I have my bad sides; in fact, I am very bad. But one thing you will never catch me doing is beating around the bush or painting black as white just to avoid being seen as bad. Yoh! Give me a prompt about the wrong things I have done, and I will pour out my mind, probably ending it with, "I know it’s not good, and I have repented," or "I have stopped doing that," or "I’m still struggling to stop such a thing." But what I won’t do is pretend to be all clean just to look good in the eyes of others. We can do better!

Check this out:
If everyone in this Blockchain were asked to write about their "s3x lifestyle," you’d be surprised to see 99% of them—including married people—claim they’ve never had s3x. I mean, married people with children! I wonder if the women among them are all Mary, who got pregnant spiritually. Lol.

I know my rants may appear very nonsensical, but come on, let people be real. No one will judge you… After all, even those who will judge you are worse on the inside.

Thanks for reading!

you chose violence with this post 😂😂
But you are right. Most of the time, if I don't feel comfortable answering a prompt, I just leave it unattended. maybe they don't see it as a personal story but more as a publically approved judgement which means, even if they're doing it, it's not something to be proud of so they can't outrightly be in support.

I wish I'd seen that prompt, lol. Me, I would say all the pros of double dating. Especially in this world where men can just wake up and break your heart in the twinkle of an eye. But but, realistically and for people that actually date for love, double dating shouldn't even be in the question.

I saw this comment and I sighed first, thinking of where to start because my hand was scratchy and possible to make article-like comment😂

Me too, I skip a lot of prompts instead of writing the pleasing things that people are looking for me.

Especially in this world where men can just wake up and break your heart in the twinkle of an eye.

I need to hear these stories. It seems you have them in series. Please let's schedule a virtual date. My ears and eyes are itchy
