Sigh
Sometimes I wish that dating was just about romance and the innocence of falling in love instead of the sex centered ritual it’s become today. I just find it so gross and it makes me so angry. I hate this culture of the third date being the necessary hookup date or this idea that sexual compatibility is the top priority in a relationship. It’s so sad too because when I look at a lot of the couples I meet I’ve realize that a lot of of them don’t have really that deep of a connection, they don’t make each other laugh and honestly don’t even seem that interested in one another as people. A lot of relationships seem so empty. I wish people would just go on cute little dates, hold hands and giggle.
Another thing is that as women we’ve really just done ourselves dirty by participating in this culture. Men use sex as a weapon to control, use and shame us. We genuinely get nothing out of booking up with guys. NOTHING. Maybe five minutes of pleasure but let’s be real most of the time that isn’t happening. Not to be cringe but I think in the past when people dated more innocently they were a lot more earnest and genuine with one another because they weren’t so used to getting this primal but unearned instant gratification without a long period of emotional build up.
