On the first date, the thought about who’s going to end up paying may pop up. As time has shown, it has been proven that men typically pay for the dates. Tipically. Doesn’t have to be that way though. If your girlfriend feels like spoiling you, let her. She’s doing it for a reason as she cares about you. Who’s the one that is suppose to hide emotions and show no fear? Women are typically the ones who show more emotions than men. Typically. What men don’t realize is that they are human too. Crying on a women’s shoulders won’t hurt. If your boyfriend is showing emotion based on any situation, comfort him as he would to you. In different types of relationships, the generic gender roles may be one way for one couple but the complete opposite for another. Yes, everyone has their own preferences but you shouldn’t jump on the boat to judge someone because they don’t support the same ideas as you. This may be a short blog however, being you shouldn’t be based on society’s expectations, rather by your own self.
In today’s world, technology has become our main resource towards anything we do. What also is being used from the advancement of technology is the idea of dating; online dating to be exact. Ten or even fifteen years ago, the thought of online dating being used over physical interactions would be absurd however, time as changed. Dating apps are becoming more popular as time goes on and especially for young adults, it’s the prime of their social life. Are online dating apps such as Tinder, Hinge or even Bumble worth the hype? Here’s my opinion on that.
Dating apps like Tinder or Number has its pros and cons. Having been on these applications in the past, I have seen it work for both guys and girls however, it depends on what you want. The whole point of these apps is to make money for these companies. Finding your dream partner is what someone would hope for or finding someone to have casual hook-ups with can be the usefulness of another individual. What makes these apps difficult for others is the fact that for the most part, people are judge by their appearance. It’s not the fault of the person swiping left or right on you for judging how you look but that’s how society works. When you walking around and see an individual, the first thing you see is their physical traits. Maybe those blue eyes and nice smile, you see someone that catches your eyes. It can even be the opposite as well. Someone with hair colour that you aren’t a fan of or you aren’t just attracted to their physical shape, that’s what you see first. If you say that you don’t judge someone by their appearance, that’s a lie. To elaborate, like myself, many people have relationships and choose certain partner for the personalities or interest their partner has. That can’t be avoided as you want someone that you like for them being them. But to say you are attracted to only their interest or personality is straight bogus. You can choose someone’s personality over their appearance or vice versa however, both have a say on how you judge that person. Why I mention this in the topic of online dating? Because with most dating apps, physical appearance weights more towards a swipe for an individual in comparison to their bio, if they have one. If you don’t think you are as attractive as other but you find if someone gets to know you they won’t regret it, it might be hard using apps like Tinder because appearance is played to a larger role than your personality. People like casual hookups for the appearances and emotions that they feel in the moment with the other person which is a plus when using these apps but in all honesty, it depends what you are using the apps for.
Many people have different inputs on what does cheating mean in a relationship and they have good reasons. Here’s my opinion on the whole issue and if you agree or even disagree, let’s start a discussion.
What I believe needs to be established by all parties is what kind of relationship are you in at the time. One thing people lack in the situation of cheating is communication and as a result, they will never see eye-to-eye. Something so simple as knowing what you are can have a major influence on how you act towards others. I believe if you are currently not expressed your interest/feelings for someone, not dating nor in a committed relationship, you are allowed to talk to whoever you want without it being labeled as “cheating” I say this because if you have expressed your interest in someone, you have already had thought about that person romantically and/or sexually and to the other person, it isn’t fair to be juggling them like they don’t have feelings. With that being said, being single also doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tell everyone you are interested in them because that will just cause a problem about whose more important and will cause not more than chaos. In the other cases already being committed, what is actually “cheating”? Talking to a friend of the opposite sex as friends isn’t cheating in my opinion however, if the conversation starts to get flirtatious, that’s when red flags are shown. People are different and everyone has their own unique style. Someone might say a compliment to another person with the intentions of showing their interest in them and another person might say the same compliment as they are a nice person with no intentions of wanting more than being a friend. Same compliment, different intentions. It all depends on the person that is making the comments and actions but, in the end, whatever is established, cheating shouldn’t be justified in my opinion. There’s always an alternative to the situation.
