Why is there so much toxicity in today's relationship scene?

[smahala1991]

It seems like toxicity is everywhere. Lots of gaslighting, manipulation, and jealousy. What happened?

[jennifer_bloom]

I would say appetite and greed corrupt the rich and jealousy and resentment corrupt the poor or middle class, but money and image worship probably explain 99% of the moral corruption out there.

Probably because girls, who, on average have lower brain volume/lowrr IQ, expect to have a god given right to demand, enslave, neg, to make it all about themselves forcefully - which even a 10/10 cannot get without participating equally, or at least truthfully to the best of her abilities. Girls are much more idle and much more privileged, so they _expect_ to hsve it their way, often without any awareness how much effort some of us guys have to keep putting into keeping this world on-track/keeping it from falling apart, often not even recognised, let alone rewarded, for it.
Many girls assume guys get it all delivered on a silver plate for them, like such girls do.

I don't think there's much toxicity o. The dating scene, in my opinion it's never been better. I think there is toxicity between men who are too lazy to improve but think they deserve a bad bitch and women who believe that their mere existence entitles them to a top tier man all to themselves.

Nothing new we just talk about it more and don't put up with it.

[SteveSmith1985]

Great question! I wish I had an answer. But great question!

[AmandaYVR]

Damn good q. Hell if I know.

[RMorus]

worth of human being is somewhere around zero in the consciousness of many.

Since too little is done to promote or at least maintain what strengthens mind and spirit.

Correspondingly, human relationships - of any kind actually - deteriorate.

Great achievement of human civilization, don't you think?

[FilmGuy93]

Constant comparisons through social media, honestly. People basically realize that the life they want for themselves is most likely unattainable, and they constantly have that fact shoved in their face.

It just burns people out.

Well it's a matter of perspectives
I don't think jealousy is so bad when at limits
Oike it's ok if i don't want my gurl yo hang out with boys or have a best friend or something
Or let her wear what makes everyone stare at her behind or chest
But about the toxicity; can you give me an example?

[TheSpaceGnome]

People with healthy relationships don't go online and blab about it.

All you will ever hear from people's private lives, is negative things they need help on.

So it will seem like thats all there is.

[Ilikethismano]

I believe that humans get very insecure and thus feel they have the right to be mean to others because of it

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I blame it all on politics driving people mad and the delay of Covid-19 being announced to the American

[Heterosketero]

Simple. Dating apps and algorithms hace destroyed the human condition. But fear not, real life is coming back into style. :)

[Nikki1989]

It must be an American thing. I have never seen any evidence of it here.

[CaptainSmartass]

People are just getting meaner.

Simples...

[In_Trance]

people have no sense of self and diminishing social skills

[answersareeasy]

it's just something that has gotten worse over the years.

[DarkLegacy]

Snowflakes happened.

[NostalgiaSenpi]

Nobody's loyal.

Feminism, metoo
