Idc what other people do but at the same time hookup culture really does directly affect actual dating and I’m tired of this

It’s fucking ruined dating and men are just expecting it now without even trying anymore. I hate it so much.

I agree. It started off as "women can have casual sex too #feminism." But it pretty much became a competition to see if we can be as nonchalant and honestly dismissive and dehumanizing to our sexual partners as much as men are to us And if you ever had a problem or critique about that, then you're derided as being anti-feminist and a puritan. I thought we want to have healthy sexual relationships between everybody, and not just playing down to men's level

i don’t care what people do with their bodies but i’d be lying if i said that hookup culture hasn’t changed dating because it has. all people want right away is sex and i’m exhausted. i’m 23 and too damn grown to be someone’s fuck buddy.

This is like the coldest take ever

I only have 2 bodies and both were from long-term relationships and were both men who abused me so the concept of hookup culture sounds a little appealing to me right now since I’m tired of feeling emotionally invested in the person I’m having sex with bc they just hurt me in the end. But I can’t wrap my head around how unsafe hookup culture feels STD-wise, condoms only protect from some STDs not all of them

some animals have one mate for life and others will mate with anyone and try to mate with anything. everyone has their own wants, needs, and morals. i do also hate it though because of what people tend to expect BECAUSE of hookup culture, if that makes sense
