Everything wrong with today's society rant

Write something that annoys you about the modern world.

I hate that most to all relationships nowadays is not about genuine care and admiration for the person you're with but rather about two parties just using each other for some gain. I wouldn't use sex since both parties receive sexual gratification. I'll give some examples to illustrate my point. I see an older below avg. looking woman who is financially stable dating a young very good looking guy who is not financially stable. From afar you're thinking he must like mature women for their wisdom/experience, but up close it's the financial perks he's receiving from her. Totally leeching off her financially. Just when you're feeling sorry for the older woman, you find out she's not so innocent. She has the perk of showing her young hot boy toy to other ladies, who wish they had him.

Then, you have an attractive woman using a below avg.looking male so he can foot the bill for her expenses. They call it "love" but up close everything they talk about goes back to money or mutual gains. No admiration, no care, no nothing for the other person past whatever they are gaining from the relationship.

People have no self-respect or integrity nowadays. The worst part is these same people wonder why there's so much hell in their life and why they are never finding true love

I agree...it's sad. I have watched a few of my girlfriends stay with men because of the money and not love and they have even told me that is why they are with them and have cheated. 😢 And here I am single cause I won't do anything like that...I want real love. It's hard out there these days...the world has changed.

Lack of Accountability.

it's the me - me - me world of madness

I agree 100%

Honestly i'm wondering sometimes if true love still exists, it's only about " self " and sex, nothing more

There's no courting anymore, no romantism, nothing

And the worst thing is, when you tell someone that you are looking for a stable relationship and nothing else, some people will tell you " oh you don't live your life " " oh you're old-fashion " " you really should let go and try " ... That's really insane

Yes! I hate being told to go with the flow. This is why these very people telling you to let loose are miserable inside and pitiful if you hear their troubles.

Everything in life is an investment. Just like you don't invest your money foolishly, you shouldn't invest your time and emotions on a lost cause either. I don't know why people aren't as fiercely protective of their heart as they are of their money. If we had the same value for our feelings like we do for our hard earned money, things would be different.

I actually proudly say I'm old fashioned. Whatever happened to getting to know someone before jumping in bed with them.

First of all, I commend you for staying true to your standards. That's a really difficult thing to do nowadays. Sometimes I feel it's the ones with standards and integrity that are found single nowadays. Relationships have become so transparently superficial that it's hard to spot a relationship that's actually based on true love and care for your partner. It's disheartening and discouraging.

Now for the better part of the discussion. You mentioned that your gfs in unhappy relationships are cheating. This is precisely what bothers me about users. If you're in a relationship with someone because they've bought you with their money (the perks), then have some integrity or come to terms with the fact that you are in this relationship for the money and stay loyal to your sugardaddy partner. Why is it that these users want it all? They want the partner who takes care of them financially, but then they also want true love with the man they are cheating with. WTF?!!

I get that, but then shut up (not you) and realize that with that egocentric approach you're not going to get true love. Fix your intentions and you shall receive!

No truly religious person behaves like "religious people".

What's wrong with society? People thinking their subjective interpretations of an event, other people, the world, is 100% factual and 100% correct allllll the time.

I hate self entitlement.

I hate the belief that people are owed something in this life.

I hate that if someone is conservative in their views, that some will automatically deem them racist.

I hate that both sides of the coin, will argue how bad each side is, while saying the same hateful shit they accuse the other side of doing.

I hate how some women think that because I have a vagina like them, I should defend them, even when they are 100% wrong.

I hate people getting offended on my behalf, when I don't need them to be.

I hate the whole "cultural appropriations" argument.

I hate intolerance on any level.

I hate that equality, isn't really equality. It's equality, with rules and special treatment.

I hate when people don't respect someone's right to identify as whatever they do, and refer to them as "it".

I hate how people still say weed is a "gateway" drug.

No. Accountability. When you're not willing to hold yourself accountable for your own actions and ways you end up slipping to a place it's very hard to get out from.

The problems are interconnected in the social fibre that makes up our society. One thing deteriorates and other follows suit...kind of like domino effect. We could list a lot of things affected by this deterioration of the foundation, but I rather focus on the companionship aspect.

So called modern day society is still living in the Dark Ages as far as younger men and older women are concerned

It's still acceptable for creepy old men to date and marry younger women but the other way round is still to some degree frowned upon

.....even though the sexual compatibility between younger guys and older ladies is hot

How useless guys are, female bone marrow can be used to make sperm like WTF are you here for other than making more paper than me, a female?

As long as compatibility and genuine interest is there, age is just a number. However, if the younger lady or younger male is with the older party for pecuniary reasons, then that's not hot. That's using the other and is frowned upon. Rightfully so, no?

Also, the reason it's frowned upon the other way around is for procreation. However, if the younger guy has no interest in having his own children or isn't just using the older woman for biding his time, I don't see why anyone would frown on it. The problem is that often that's what the younger male is doing. He's biding his time or living in the moment with the older woman because she doesn't pose the same headaches that a younger woman does, who is lookingto get married and have children.

Being in a relationship for a personal gain, by choice, as opposed to truly liking the person isn't anything wrong?

Evenso, it has only been relatively recent that women have been coming out about having younger lovers.....for whatever reason

The elevation of chronic self-interest.

Ambition (rather than a good work ethic) is

Virtue, and any number of horrible actions

Loyalty isn't a thing anymore. Too many people be hung up on their ex while with someone else that they never have who they are actually with a chance. I'm single yet still get some action but I can't commit until I know I have their loyalty.

I'll tell you what I like about today's society.. so you can tell me what I don't like. I like the fact that today, at least you know where you stand. We live in a superficial, material world leading empty social lives. We know what is expected of us in order to reap the benefits or stay invisible.

Imagine living in the 1970's with all the different forces pulling in different directions. It was like You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't.

You're probably one of those people who use your partner for something and that's why you're promoting that garbage.

I'm actually someone who dates a person because I like them for the person they are. Since you missed the point of the thread, I'll simplify it for you. It's that I don't like that system or what society has become.

It's possible to truly like someone and gain personally simultaneously. Nothing wrong with that but that's not what I'm discussing. I'm discussing the "being in a relationship for the sake of personal gain" and I used those two as an example. Not so we can dissect their relationship.

That's another issue that is prevalent, which I absolutely abhor. People using others to get over their exes or using someone to fill a void that you have within yourself. I had someone try to get with me who was aiming to replace his ex with me. The thing was he kept things from me so it wasn't until later I found out what he was doing. He hid the break-up. I saw the issues emerge later on. Thanks for wasting my time, asshole!

So in your mind those two things are mutually exclusive? It's possible to both truly like someone and gain personally from them as well.

Your funny. Getting your panties all in a twist over someone else's relationship. They have to live with their choices, not you.

Maybe it's time to take up a hobby.

It's possible to truly like someone and gain personally simultaneously. Nothing wrong with that but that's not what I'm discussing. I'm discussing the "being in a relationship for the sake of personal gain" and I used those two as an example. Not so we can dissect their relationship.

Your dissecting their relationship and interpreting it in a way that supports your viewpoint. So what's the difference??

Write something that annoys you about the modern world.

I hate that most to all relationships nowadays is not about genuine care and admiration for the person you're with but rather about two parties just using each other for some gain. I wouldn't use sex since both parties receive sexual gratification. I'll give some examples to illustrate my point. I see an older below avg. looking woman who is financially stable dating a young very good looking guy who is not financially stable. From afar you're thinking he must like mature women for their wisdom/experience, but up close it's the financial perks he's receiving from her. Totally leeching off her financially. Just when you're feeling sorry for the older woman, you find out she's not so innocent. She has the perk of showing her young hot boy toy to other ladies, who wish they had him.

Then, you have an attractive woman using a below avg.looking male so he can foot the bill for her expenses. They call it "love" but up close everything they talk about goes back to money or mutual gains. No admiration, no care, no nothing for the other person past whatever they are gaining from the relationship.

What's wrong with that? Most relationships are about give and take. Seems like both parties are getting something out of the relationship that makes them happy.

Who are YOU to judge how someone chooses to live their life.

You're probably one of those people who use your partner for something and that's why you're promoting that garbage.

I'm actually someone who dates a person because I like them for the person they are. Since you missed the point of the thread, I'll simplify it for you. It's that I don't like that system or what society has become.

What am I promoting? Oh that's right, I'm pointing out that you shouldn't concern yourself with other people's choices and motivations.

All the evil that happens on the daily and your concerned with this bullshit. Smh.

Edit: of course I use my partner. Just as he uses me. Relationships are about an exchange, duh.

What's wrong with society? People thinking their subjective interpretations of an event, other people, the world, is 100% factual and 100% correct allllll the time.

Yep. And then bitching and moaning about their interpretation of how others chose to live their lives. When that energy would be better spent bettering their own.

Exactly!

everyone should be entitled to healthcare and clean water. we should give more fucks about climate change instead of instagram follower count.

😢 If only people cared more about not littering & being considerate, but the population is more into the materialistic things.

How you know all that?

These people I mentioned I know them very closely. The sad part is one of them shamelessly admitted to the thing that makes them dependent on their partner yet thinks their partner truly loves them, when in reality they are also using them for something else.

Theirs is one of many I've seen. What I'm saying is this newfound dynamic that's become a norm is bothersome to me, especially when one comes out of a personal gain kind of relationship and then expects the same of their next partner. It starts a cycle of using another.

This is as clear as I'm going to get in my message and you can't comprehend this, then may God be with you.
