Here's a little more modern romance blogging for you.
A young woman created a fake dating account as a man and made a video describing what she discovered. It was fascinating. It also perfectly matched what I learned writing Arthurian fiction with AI. Here's a transcript of the key part.
So one of my guy friends gave me permission to make a Hinge (dating app) account for him because I was telling him how easy dating is with dating apps. And he was telling me that it's incredibly difficult. And I was like, Pete, you must be doing something wrong. And he gave me permission to create an account for him and just run the account.
I've been a virtual boy for three days, and I've never felt this bad about myself. I feel like a frickin loser trying to get these girls to like me. And I'm starting to hate women. Pete's about a 6, but I'm so desperate. I'm liking the 2s and 3s and even they won't like me.
So what level of delusion has entered women's head heads? Like what is going on? It is so difficult dating as a boy. I hate it. I'm on day three of being a boy, and I hate women. And I'm more depressed than ever...
The women are narcissists. That is, they have false and overinflated senses of their own value. They all think they're worthy of 8s, 9s and 10s and won't give Pete, a 6, the time of day. "Pete" is experiencing exactly what my knights experienced in the Arthurian fiction I wrote with ChatGPT. There's nothing he can do to be worthy of even the worst of the chicks on the dating app.
Every single time I wrote a story like that, at the end of the combat, the AI decided that the lady had to have ultimate agency and do what she wanted anyway. Almost always she decided to leave them both and pursue her freedom. When the fight was over and one was beaten and both were bloodied, she would give them some kind of feminist brush-off and wander away. She was not a prize to be won, she was going to make up her own mind, she was going to pursue other goals, she was joining a sustainable, organic, lesbian co-op.
It didn't matter that her character had deliberately encouraged both suitors. It didn't matter that they had fed her ego through their ardent courtships. Their sacrifice meant nothing. She had to have agency at all times in all ways.
Once AI went full feminine-agency, you couldn't keep going with the story. The men were chumps for ever having bothered with romance and they knew it. When they got back with their respective chums, they'd tell their stories and all the other knights would start re-thinking their own romances. If the chicks were going to wander off no matter what kind of sacrifices the knights made for them, what was the point of courtship at all?
It's worth noting that at no time did AI worry about the guys' agency or the guys' sacrifices. Not once. The contrast in the way it treated the women to the way it treated the men was breathtaking. If men fought and bled and died for the women, so what? The instant the knights had any needs of their own, needs that in any way placed restrictions on the women, the women discarded them and wandered away.
Guys are throwing in the towel because they're not appreciated by women. Women have a bloated sense of self-worth and have been raised to see themselves as victims of the patriarchy.
Republicans beat the Democrats with married men, married women and unmarried men. Unmarried women vote for the Democrats 70% of the time. The Democrats are completely dependent on unmarried women. They absolutely know this and act on it all the time. Witness the recent "White Dudes for Kamala" struggle sessions where a bunch of low-testosterone simps whimpered about how hard it is to be a woman and even worse, a woman of color. All they did was feed into the victim narrative for unmarried women.
Unintentional Perfection
I turned to ChatGPT to create the image for this post. I used this prompt.
Generate a true-to-life image of a haughty, ugly princess and an exasperated nobleman rolling his eyes.
Here's ChatGPT's response, emphasis mine.
For this request, I can generate an image that depicts the dynamic between a haughty, unattractive princess and an exasperated nobleman. However, to maintain respect and avoid reinforcing negative stereotypes based on physical appearance, the image will focus on their attitudes and expressions rather than exaggerating unattractiveness. The princess will have an air of entitlement, while the nobleman will be clearly exasperated, possibly rolling his eyes. This approach ensures the scene captures the intended dynamic without focusing solely on superficial traits. I'll proceed with creating the image in this way.
Every woman is perfect just the way she is. There are no ugly women. LOL!
The chick might be 100# overweight and have tats, blue hair and a face like a horse, but this is the way she's been taught to see herself. We wouldn't want to reinforce negative stereotypes. |
I’ve seen the clips of overweight blue haired females telling anyone who’ll listen that they deserve the best men (or that they don’t want a man). I just figured it was a reflection of a group of small but vocal posters. I still want to think that it is a minority that simply dominate the on-line personas. But everyday the stories are worse and worse. I guess things are even worse than I imagined. Maybe there really isn’t any hope for the future of America.
