I see so many clips of videos on social media of people acting crazy about dating, relationships, marriage and kids that I cannot believe those are their opinions. Men shaming women for having a higher body count than they want, and women shaming men for not having a high-paying job in the six to seven figures. Both have very unrealistic standards for a date's physical appearance in stereotypical ways.
I never went to bars, I never hit on women at clubs, every woman I dated were friends or people I met through social groups or shared activities. Plenty of them had issues, of which I'm also not innocent of. But they were much more down to earth than the people you see all over social media perpetuating these realities until they manifest in other's lives.
