Blavity article: Does hypermasculinity hinder black men from finding true love?

Facts.
Easily the best posts in this thread.

The hyperbole and the fairytail idealization of the sociological concept of "love" along with the hyper-visibility of phrases like "true love" and "soulmate" in the public sphere, reveals a deep lack of perspective and understanding that beneath it all - humans are merely animals that respond to stimuli like any other living organism on this planet.

Humans' romanticization of our animalistic behavior / instinctive physiological responses is hilarious. There's no "soul connection" or "spiritual attachment" involved with "love", and it's not "unconditional" nor inherently "forever".

Hit it on the head.

It's funny hearing people drawing up profound words about something that essentially is just an instinct to reproduce and continue one's genetic legacy.

I ain't cute and I've had a couple sugar mommas

Bagged my first sugar momma coming off a construction gig works clothes on

some women dig the rugged look.. I ain't ugly neither tho

Is it Oochie Wally or One Mic?

I laughed because he's being facetious; he's not #uglygang LOL

And I'm guessing that as long as you can fukk em good, most sugar mommas don't care about the looks (much).

might be true, I still ain't ugly tho but they were both younger too which is rare. mostly figured older women would be more into that arrangement.

That is weird, especially if they were half-way decent looking. Were they?

I know you atheist as nikkaz hate the bible

But the bible commands women to respect their husbands

And commands men to love their wives

So in reality men should be looking for true respect

Women should be searching for true love

the word

If you "love" your girl more than she respects you, you setting your self up to be gmb example.

Save yourself the trouble and exercise your options.

Facts.

I really don't think it's weird. Both wealthy educated and independent women who knew what they wanted and had money to burn, good looking. I'd argue as the gender roles become more meaningless and women make more this will become more common. Might help that I didn't know they had money when we connected that was never the motivation but they wanted to take care of a breh and who am I to say no? Gender equality

first one is like a 6/10 second is 9/10

Those are fictional stories, breh.

And R&J is about 2 hormone induced teenagers killing themselves over "love".

In other words, I addressed your question, but it contained too many "sciency" words and not enough fluff and thus didn't suffice your expectations. That's too bad.



Hormones and chemicals in the neurotransmitters of the brain cause bonding chemicals that release. Humans came up with this label called "love". It doesn't, and never has, existed in the context that people have created it and refer to it as. It's a neurochemical and hormonal process, not a magical connect that harbors between two souls.

This is a brain scan done with participants who were "intensenly in love with their partner" and participants who had broke up and just got out of a relationship. Results from the study shown that the participants who were "in love" on the top chart had an increased level of brain activity in the region of the brain that handles emotional functions ; the bottom chart, the "broke up out of a relationship" participants had less brain activity and lower levels of nonepherine. These people "in love" simply had an increased level of dopamine and oxytocin being sent to their brain. That's it. It does not exist beyond this very simple science. Neurochemical alterations emit hormones. It is a neurological function in its entirety, it is not the mythicized nonsense that human beings have labeled it as.



What? Not even remotely similar. Try again.



What a silly question. Why would one have to "get something" for merely debunking a word that has connotations that are rooted in biology rather than soul mate fairytales - which people conveniently like to ignore?

I can not stand this hypermasculinity crap.

WTF is that? Either you want a man or you don't.

Men going to be men and continue to do manly things. If a woman don't want that find you one of those dikes
