interesting queery.
i dont know the answer, but ill take a stab at making a coherent statement.
Culturally, I believe a lot of us older fellas grew up dreaming of a Buttercup from Princess Bride sorta gal. Someone mostly pure and amazing was in every movie then, the object of the guy you identify with’s conviction and love.
As we aged we noticed that they have all been used and abused and are whores, basically (no worse than us, to be clear). Its a ‘if you cant beat em, join em’ thing. Nobody wants to be the nice guy who finishes last. Might as well get off on their whoreness. You end up married and with kids and responsibility, or maybe you just are comfortable, i dunno, but either way you stick with her and the dream is long gone, and it just becomes about getting the most out of it.
ok, thats my guess for old guys.
This new generation?
Well, that first pic says a lot, and reminds me of couples i started seeing ten years ago.
That chick is cute, pretty damned hot. That dude is a pussy. Im telling you that this never happened in the 80s, unless pussyface was rich. Its commonplace now. My guess is that its Lefty brainwashing, mostly from hollywood where men are also tiny weak pussies. Every story is one of a total pussy winning the fight, the broad, etc. The big jocks are always dumb as shit and they always lose. Its a beta fantasy. It has existed since ive been around, but the betas have somehow morphed into epsilons, and the girls still get the message that this is the best kind of man. So you get 8-9 level chicks with guys that basically would not have gotten fucked at all two generations ago.
It leaves them wanting. The ‘man’ has no testosterone, so isn’t possessive, and the woman isnt getting fucked, and even through all her brainwashing, still wants a big cock and a dude who likes to go hard at lots of things, not just fucking.
Its the Mayberry, so i will release this pontification intact. Spoken as a Gen X Betamax. A guy in the middle ground of all the madness.
