re: The Bitterness of Missing Out on Love

Most love in high school/college/mid 20's is like a bad rom com, wouldn't you agree?

Not really. It’s maybe like that for a couple weeks, but every relationship I had turned into real life real f$&king fast.

Does a girl in high school, college or mid 20's care what you make?

---

F$&k yeah, they do! In hs, it’s about what your parents do, the car you drive, and what your prospects are. It’s also about social capital you bring to the relationship (popularity). They care deeply about where you may be going in life. They want a man with aspirations and the tools and drive to make them reality.

Isn't all fantasy based in some reality though?

Not really. Fantasy is based on what we want to be true, not what is. It’s about indulging in an escape from the real world. If it were real, and people wanted it, they wouldn’t have to sell it.
