With the men doing that to A.I., more likely than not, they also grew up abused or grew up seeing their parents in an abusive relationship or marriage.
Kids raised in abusive homes are more likely to end up and stay in toxic relationships because their brains are wired to equate chaos with connection. But the truth is, abuse isn’t love, it’s control. And no one deserves to live in fear disguised as devotion. A lot of times, this kind of behavior is generational.

True. I didn’t think about it being generational.

Omg, you should hear my techs at work. The terminology I hear them using when they talk about their dating lives, like “red pill”, “black pill” and some other terms that went way over my head… when I asked them what they were, when they explained it to me, I was like asking myself the same question you just asked yourself. “What is wrong with people?” Aye yai yai.

Yeah, I remember you comparing viruses to The Terminator.
I hear you on the terms. Somebody pulls a new word and definition out of their ass daily.

People skip the slap and go straight to the trigger, which is just terrifying. It’s like we traded bruised egos for full-on catastrophe.
And don’t even get me started on relationships today. It’s like people have replaced genuine connection with performative nonsense for likes and validation. Loyalty is rare, emotional maturity is even rarer, and everything feels like a game no one actually wins. Honestly, I’m just SO glad I’m not in the dating pool anymore, because based on what I hear my techs talk about, it seems more like a toxic swamp at this point.

LMAO! It is though. You’re right. The woman I met while I was in Minneapolis at my fraternity event has been telling me about her dating experiences. I’ve been telling her about mine. Hers have all been bad like mine. She’s a school teacher and gets asked out by single dad’s all the time. She told me she’s been happy single because of how effed up dudes are today. We’ve been talking more than texting which we both agree on. She told me she doesn’t like texting as much because she can’t connect that way.
CG, I’m curious, when you were in the dating pool/swamp (LOL) back in the day, did you use dating apps or just meet random dude’s in person? Either way, I’ll bet you got a lot of attention.
