I always watch movies to lessen the disappointment I feel towards men. I just watched the new Avatar Movie and Then I realise that expecting men to be great is unrealistic, It’s not in their nature to make their existence alone in your life useful.
Fiction and reality can’t go hand in hand. Fiction describes how a man should be or at least has something the opposite sex finds attractive , In my case Noble, honest, Paternal, Role models, adventurous, brave, defender and provider and being able to lead people into victory instead of oppressing Is something I like. But unfortunately men in reality are cowardly parasites by nature and aren’t there to enrich your life but to baby trap you and have the best of both worlds.
Its better not to invest in them, Just see them as beings who come and go. Keep them at arms length because when men become too comfortable they start calling you names or screw you over because they assume you are too attached to them to be replaced.
Why not? These men represent an ideal, and if you fantasize about them it might be close to yours. Imho it's worse to daydream about a movie HVM and still settle for a scrote because "such men don't exist". Forgive my optimism but there has to be men who actually aspire to be like this, that are principled and good! What would be even worse than settling out of a scarcity mindset would be to see scrotes with rose-colored glasses and think the bare minimum is movie-HVM worthy.
It reminds me of these many tiktoks I saw all over the internet for a time. I don't have Tiktok myself so I can't repost/relink them but I can describe (there were many of this type by the way): it often has a girl reading a romance novel and somebody (a man) being like "Oh women shouldn't read that, it'll give them unrealistic expectations" and the woman keeps asking for a reformulation, and at some point the man ends up being like "I'd never ever treat a woman this way myself" and the girl is like "THERE IT IS."
I think it's good to see how men SHOULD be but realize what they actually are in reality. Knowing what they should act like will make it easier for you to cut them off. For instance, whenever a guy is acting up, I go walk down the road and watch the bull in the pasture with his girls and calves. If a man isn't acting as good and as protective as the bul, he's a goner in my book. I look to nature for the right example. We've never had a bull that didn't lead and protect his calves. If a human male cannot live up to that of a bovine, why would I bother with him?
yeah i had to grow out of that fairytale idea of what men are. majority aren’t like that
Honestly I thought Jake Sully made a terrible husband lol.
I think I'm okay with having high standard. I'd rather be disappointed and then keep looking than just give up.
I smell moss. In the mountains. Lol.
Without getting into the point of your post: if you'd like to watch a series that portrays the more bad/usual behavior of men, I can recommend Top of the lake! (Netflix)
