Initially this post was going to be (and still may be) similar to a lot of posts where i complain about how undesirable i feel to women. The impetice for that feeling was a commercial for a movie called How to be single. I get it “everybody sleeps around”. Well pop culture and the 6 to 9 corporations that own you. FUCK OFFF!!!! Im a super depressed introvert who hates social networking and doesn’t look like brad pitt. Furthermore the few times in my life where i did luck into a “hook up” left me feeling empty. It isnt for me. But it is a nerve that shakes me into suicidal depression. I dont know why im bot a shrink and the one i saw this past fall had no answers either(Maybe because it feeds my fear that any potential GF rather get shitfaced and fuck bros and it depresses me because all i want is a loyal sweet gf if such a thing is possible) Stop fucking trolling me. Im watching sportscenter for christs sake. (Idk why i used to be a die hard sports fan but ive tapered off a lot maybe because ESPN is to TMZ for my tastes). Noo offense to all you random hookupers out there mind you. Do as you wish i just dont want to be made to feel worse about my situation.
But then i thought its deeper than that. Every group is trolled by the media in someway. The once anticonsumerist punks are now really fad chasing hot topic shoppers with their necessary rebellion now just style with no substance. Hip Hop once the voice of the disenfranchised is now a bass filled ignorant minstrel show perpetuating stereotypes and misleading the same disenfranchised as to what normal is. There are consequences. I had a male who has gotten stds i have a female friend who is pregnant and doesn’t know who the dad is but knows it isnt her bf. (No it isnt me lmao I havent done anything with anyone in years). I know people who have lost close to decades of their lives because being inprisoned due to drug dealing. Every tv show has us rooting for the villian or seeing promiscuity and affairs as glamorous. They did the same thing with cigarettes a long time ago. Show both sides to everyting. Stop showing us this false reality bullshit. STOP TROLLING US!!! I try my damndest to stay aeay from as much pop culture as possible because so much of it makes me so depressed for so may reasons but the shit i get in passing makes me fucking sick. My life is fucked up enough leave me the fuck alone. Rant over. Im off to walk to subway apparently im not eating enough calories. Ive gone from over eating to under eating. Sorry for those reading this.

Good for you that you value yourself enough to not be used for a shag.
It does leave you feeling empty because what we are really seeking is love.
That’s why real sex is called making love. It should fill you up with love.
Stick to your guns. A genuinely nice girl will admire that in you.
I myself never went for the good looking guys.
It was always about how I felt about them, not how they looked.
There is somebody for everyone.
You are right. Pop culture in many cases perpetrates lies and also brainwashes people to believe happiness is something other then the truth. To much violence and promiscuous sex. Too much pushing the use of drugs and alcohol…and when they push that stuff they glamorize it and make it all look like its cool and they don’t show the truth about the consequences. They glamorize lifestyles that lead to prison in real life but don’t show the truth behind it. You are right on all that. That is why I am not into pop culture much. I am not on Facebook, I don’t watch TV, I don’t try to be cool the way the music industry says to be cool, I don’t watch reality television and don’t idolize Hollywood people. I do watch some movies and do like some music but I try to stay away from the garbage. Pop culture pretty much sucks. But there is no stopping it. It makes too much money to ever go away. The only thing you can do is to not participate in it and be yourself. Live your life based on truth and your own values not the crap that comes from pop entertainment. Nice post. Nice rant!
Amen brother! I try to watch as little commercial tv as humanly possible for just this reason.
Agreed. Fed up of being told how I should live, feel, look and what I should like, and feeling totally shit when I can’t meet the standards set by commercials and the media. Its all fake and it can piss off.
Its all disturbing. We get inudated with “perfect” images most of us dont have the genetics and now those people who are attractive get trolled and shamed for being attractive. Its like they have turned everyone against each other no matter who you are.
We’re being told what ‘perfect’ is or should be and I don’t like it, just so you’ll buy one product after another and get even more dissatisfied when nothing changes. You can’t achieve perfect, even the people on the front page of the magazines. Its trying to change the values of society to something we can’t achieve which only results is us being unsatisfied with ourselves and those around us. Ie getting a job based on how you look or sound, not skill. Or how all the people in the charts nowa days are popular because of looks not good music… whatever…
