Relationships are hard and it takes work to maintain them. [/quote] True. Drama, scandal, drinking games. The "contestants" are at exotic locations and have extravagant dates that most normal people cannot afford and yes, paint some fantasy romance out of fairytales. Latest Bachelorette season has a floozie picking boytoys and dealing with a toxic NPD and NOT PICKING the marriage material guy!!! Classic. Finally the show is displaying what the Unrealistic Standards are and the audience is noticing. But the producers aren't clarifying, allowing the audience what is right and better choices are personally. [/quote] Shows like that only help project the illusion. One of life's lessons is to learn how to separate fantasy like the show from reality. Good gauge to see how popular the fantasy shows are. [/quote] Reality TV isn't really reality? This season was finally different. A little more real. She bangs the boytoy pilot in a windmill. She keeps another boytoy toxic guy around until the end. She falls for the other boytoy Country Singer trying to further his career with TV exposure. And she dismisses the marriage material perfect man. Same point the OP video is making. BUT the whole story ends with her realizing what she did and the mistakes she made and her STANDARDS were fucked up. Proving the point... current culture is messed up and we've lost our way in relationships. This is why 50% marriages (more) end in divorce. So the more we talk about this, the better. Great thread OP. [/quote] Thank you MissCleo :D [/quote]
Original Message
I came across this video while replying to another thread and thought it deserved its own. From a former matchmaker for women. She lays it out very well.
No women hater here but a man who has heard the same over and over through the years from happily married couples, and this woman lays it out for other women to hear.
Believe it or not this is not a political issue but a perception/expectation one and shows why so many women today are lonely and never happy.
Yes the video is 21 minutes long but is so very true as to what is not only holding many women back but also flat -WRONG- with the image-based society we many have fallen in to.
For those who want a synopsis there is no way to convey the video in two sentances. Maybe atch the last 5 minutes to get the most in short time.
Prepared for the estrogen brigade women-haters label when only being realistic.
