Obviously not ALL people are like this - there are many average, ordinary people, male and female, who go out with, fall in love with, have wonderful lives with average ordinary other people.
We do seem to live in an overly criticial time though - we have a weekly thread pulling Emma to pieces for example. People go on about her thick legs, her hair not being great, her clothes aren't perfect, etc.etc. when she's obviously a lovely, healthy, happy, confident, successful woman. We never see a thread going on about Rylan's looks, clothes, make-up each week.”
I'm only vaguely aware of that world from the odd (extremely!) thread in GD and suchlike, people I know in real life don't use those terms - not in front of me anyway
Is it that even ordinary looking men feel entitled to hook up with these impossibly perfect, sex doll women? The reality being that it's generally the steroid bodied, pretty boys who get those girls, leaving the ordinary boys to feel resentful and bitter towards, well, everyone.
It's a grimly fascinating phenomenon isn't it, dating and mating seemed infinitely easier 20 years ago
