Hollywood Often Shows Us the Worst Ways to Date
Do the opposite to find great men.
I recently watched an amazing video by Charisma on Command that reminded me, yet again, of how many of us are socialized to date from a young age.
This video discusses Hollywood movies and how love always seems to start with a big bang.
For example, in the movie ‘The Notebook,’ we see the ex that is willing to move heaven and earth to be with us again. Even though we have moved on and are happy with someone else. Did you ever stop to think about the mental health of a guy that will not hear the word no? Sounds like a stalker to me. Or quite possibly someone with the potential to be a future abusive boyfriend. Who doesn’t stop when the woman says no? Besides Donald Trump.
We see these sorts of negatives in the movies quite often. The woman that the guy is chasing tries to warn him against dating her (No Strings Attached). In real life, if a guy tells you that he is a bad partner (Twilight), believe him and do NOT meet him again. Why would you even consider it?
In ‘Blue Valentine’, and so many other movies, we see that crazy up and down roller coaster of emotions that have been romanticized as meaning that we are with our other half and destined to be together. Um, not so much.
