Why Black Love is DOOMED: We're too influenced by Celebrities and TV and model our lives and relationship after them.

[Stuntone]

When you think about it where else do you see intricate details of a relationship but from TV and Social Media. I'm very close to my parents and brothers, 2 are married. And I don't see details of how their marriages really work. I see more on television and IG, which is only the good parts. I think we all have a very warped view of how relationship really work. I was raised with both parents, my parents are still together, but that doesn't give me any advantages in this modern dating world. I meet so many women who think we're suppose to eat out at all the restaurants and travel to all the popular destinations like celebrities. Staying home and learning to enjoy each others companies is foreign to them. Theyve never seen that on TV.. That I do about real relationships is there's a lot of just me and u at home time.

I don't know man, I think this is a major issue amongst all the other problems with have. We just don't realize or are prepare for how regular marriage life will be. The constant pressure of trying to keep thing new, thrilling and exciting is unsustainable.

Older millenals were the first generation raised by TV, so it makes a lot of sense

Black people are doomed because we are clueless on how Capitalism works and refuse to learn about it

Celebrity and TV worship makes us Consumers instead of Capitalists

In before " White people do it too."

Relationships are just that. How you relate to another person. And people lie too much. How can you relate when you're always lying and insecure about who you are as a person. Once people learn how to walk alone, and be honest with themselves and other people, then you can build healthy relationships.

Y'all be overreacting over everything. Men in demand will continue to get women in demand. Been that way since the beginning. Only losers will fall off.

There are plenty of places with fairytales and feel good stories, you should go there.

Why don't you ask the people in your life who have successful relationships how they work breh?

America uses celebrity culture to mass market and move the needles to sell goods. Post industrialism, we moved from producing goods and instead produce celebrities to market and sell goods that other countries produce. It’s not a surprise that celebrity worship has reached critical mass in American society.

This thread is made usually once a week or every other day.

Relationships today are trash because of poorly regulated capitalism, social media comparison, and celebrity worship. Dudes just find a way to remix the same thing over and over again

Yep

I was at a birthday get-together in South Holland last night.

I overheard then listened to a 30-something female babble about what he has to do for her. All kinds of ridiculous demands.

Not to imply that she represents them all, but there are a lot who have this delusional mindset.

Just have to bypass them until you come across someone that fits
