Is Social Media Making Black Relationships More Dysfunctional or Just Exposing Reality?

[Sauce and Footwork]

A lot of people be looking happy and all in to each other, be swinging and on some other shyt. You don’t know nobody relationship but the one you are in. Me and wifey be around other couples at school events or play dates because of our kids and these people be fukking weirdos.

The was rift between black men and women long before social media. You knew that before you made this thread.

Women - very easy to get smashed, harder to get commitment, VERY HARD to get monogamy

Men - very easy to smash low value women, harder to get a quality woman for serious relationship, VERY HARD to provide for said woman

Both genders have huge mountains to climb to achieve the “brass ring.” And no, dating outside your race doesn’t make it any easier and some black people just cannot date non-black no matter what. It just isn’t comfortable for them.

Actually I’m much younger than most people on here so I wasn’t aware of how big the rift was before social media.

There are a lot of dudes geared to monogamy but many of the women complaining don’t want those dudes or they waited too long before pursuing said men.

More dysfunctional without a doubt. Everyone is in their bubble and it taints their view of the world and makes people think there's no hope.

Simple proof is the amount of women who are more or less average talking about men have to do x, y and z to get next to them and pay for their lifestyle to date them.

I be looking around laughing like nikka you know basic groceries for 2 for a week is easily $150? They deadass be thinking men making 100k+ are around the corner

All relationships are falling apart because we're not supposed to be in relationships in the first place.

BP swear they are the only people with "issues." This is literally happening all over the globe.

I disagree, It's pretty clear we are supposed to be in relationships. Pop culture is just telling you the opposite and promoting a life partner needs to supply all the needs that you are really supposed to get from community.

Pop culture done made real shyt corny and corny shyt cool

IMO I see an evolution. Black fyckery was highlighted on day shows like on Maury Povich and Paternity Court in the 90s and early 2000s. Now it moved to social media channels and podcasts. As in the past, we support the degradation of ourselves and while cacs are getting paid handsomely through ad revenue.

If you’re much younger than most people on here you’re too young to be picking up terrible advice from the internet and don’t have nearly enough experience to make this statement. You should be outside interacting with peers and getting hands on experience. The world is vast and you don’t need to get caught up in echo chambers of negativity. Go outside and explore.

Social media means that Black couples are no longer dating each other but the whole Face,Insta twitterverse..

Lol I am outside, that’s where my statement derives from. There are dudes out here geared towards monogamy.

Exposing reality. One of the great benefits the internet has given society.

It used to be you was just dealing with her, her sisters, her mother, her cousins, her friends, and coworkers.

Stuff ain't going her way, and she would go to the hive mind for advice. That was annoying enough.

"Well Sheronda said....". Stay taking bad advice from single and miserable friends.

Now? It's the damn matrix.

She getting life advice from social media stars and using therapist language about love languages and attachment theory.

And she gotta stunt for her followers. Dudes in her DMs sounding like R&B singers....

People need real hobbies, they're too focused on dating and relationships

It's like makeup for women

Except there's an outrage industry playing on men's insecurities
