I feel like I have watched every single romantic comedy movie ever made since I was 10. And wishing that my life would be like the female leads in these movies, where I'll find a guy, and we might have some bumps along the road but at the end of it, we're together and happy and have some kind of real future together.
But I realized in life, nothing ever really happens how you imagined it would when you're a teenager, you don't always end up with the cute, kind of dorky guy that you have that connection with and sometimes your male lead ends up being more like Hugh Grant in Bridget Jone's Diary than Notting Hill.
The douchebag that you might have a laugh with, some good sex but at the end of it all, he's still a womanizing, cheating, lying bastard that will never settle down and ends up just wasting your time, time that you could've spent working on yourself, and finding a decent guy that will actually settle down and have something more real than just a friends with benefits type of relationship.
And the dating culture nowadays completely ruins it for anyone that does eventually want to find someone to have a real serious relationship with. Yeh at the beginning when you're "seeing each other" but nothing's official, it's all just fun, with the late night messages, bootycalls and no strings attached sex.
The double standard still exists aswell with this new hookup culture, because I've found that guys will try EVERYTHING under the sun to sleep with a girl when they first start dating, but once they do, then that same girl isn't "relationship material". This frustrates me to no end. If you want someone that won't sleep with u on the first few dates, why try so hard to convince them otherwise?
Anyways, I'm just rambling on now because I'm so sick of this new hookup culture and the double standards, and the labels that girls end up getting, just because we're single too, and maybe we want to have fun and be sexual beings too, that shouldn't automatically categorize us as being sluts and not worthy of being "relationship material".
Who else agrees with me?
