There is something strange going on in the relationship world. I see videos here and there of people who are looking for a relationship. The moment they think they have found someone, they are presented with a whole list of requirements that they just have to meet.
And just to be clear, I know that a lot of videos are fake, they are just there for the likes because they can make money with them. Yes, you heard/read it right, you can make money with likes. The more likes you have, the more interesting you become to advertisers. I don't participate in that. I'm not a fan of money, although it is convenient and I don't like advertisers.
Back to those videos. So I've been watching some of the ones that I know were real. That was absolutely ridiculous. Before you even go out with someone, you are expected to pay $20,000 so that your date can get a haircut, get her nails done, or get a new wardrobe for herself. And then the first date still has to take place.
And you're also expected to get a haircut, have your nails done, and pick her up in an expensive sports car for the first date. And I'm not talking about a lousy BMW, those are out. You have to at least arrive with a Mercedes, Maserati or something more expensive if you want to be appreciated.
Once you have done all that and survived, you will receive a list of demands that you better meet, otherwise it will be over quickly. Such a list can include anything from how much pocket money you're going to give her per week, how much time you have to spend with her, how often you're going to do it during the week to not being allowed to see your friends anymore. And then I haven't even mentioned the discussions about who brings what to the table in the relationship.
I've thought about starting a new relationship, but if that's the way it has to be these days, then never mind. I am an old-fashioned man who believes in true unconditional love and in a relationship that is not about money or who brings what to the table, but consists of love, harmony, equality and respect for each other. I do not understand why everything has to be so incredibly difficult these days. All those rules, signals and requirements beforehand. Act normal, then you are already acting crazy enough, they used to say.
