Social Media and Current Conditions Didn’t Ruin Anything

[Zapp Brannigan]

I used to think the current state of the game was what ruined women. That the flocks of a$$kissing orbiters and validation from social media was what turned once nice, attainable, women into phony, attention seeking, narcissists. But now I see things a bit differently, this stuff has only made the bad women more obvious.

When I was growing up social media was still in its infancy. As I got older things like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter became popular, and a lot of the girls I knew started getting on it. The majority of them began acting like attention seekers, and started to behave with snobbish narcissistic personalities. I thought social media and the surge of guys who orbit every woman they want was the reason for this, but now I see there’s more to it. I began thinking about the ones who I’ve known since childhood that I thought “transitioned” into a typical modern attention seeker. When thinking about it they acted bad long before social media, but I just didn’t pay any attention to it back then. I remember how a lot of them had bad personalities when we were little kids, and were the types who were complimented by just about everyone teachers, family, friends, etc. Then the ones who I now see whining and posting passive aggressive things about everyone, years ago were just as whiny and cried whenever they didn’t get what they wanted. My perceptions of the past until recently forgot just how bad these girls were. Social media and orbiters didn’t ruin them, it just helped them behave the way they truly are.

As for the women 25+ who get online posting mirror selfies, and take advantage of every bit of validation they get. Weren’t they always like that on some level? I remember women who were like that long before social media, of course they weren’t as bad back then, but they were still out attention wh0ring. A friend of mine who’s in his early 40s told me about how his wife has a friend who’s trouble. He showed me the wife’s friend’s page, I immediately picked up on a lot of things (orbiters, selfies, bikini pics, posts about drinking, etc.) and told him my perceptions of it. He then said how the woman has always been into all of that wild s**t, and is now openly cheating on her husband. My point is from what he said that woman was always bad, and now she’s doing the same obvious s**t on her social media. Social media didn’t ruin her, modern conditions have just made it to where she can now be comfortably honest about the way she truly is.

I’m sure we can all think of an example or two of someone who didn’t act like a spoiled brat, that got on social media, and became an attention seeker. Ones like this ten years ago would have been the type to cheat the second another guy expressed interest. They are deeply insecure and cling onto any validation they can get, and the way they behave online is a good indicator of that. If they were truly a sincere person at their core then a little bit of validation wouldn’t have gotten to their head like it did.

If a woman is/was a good person at their core, then all of the orbiting beta BS of the modern world wouldn’t get to their head. Be thankful the bad women are that much easier to spot now, and be careful of them.

You must be under 25. Women weren't like this in the 90's. And in the 80's they were much much better than now.

Accessibility to orbiters undoubtedly made them much worse.

Since I went to high school when there was no social media or cell phones, I can tell the difference between teenagers then and now. Teenagers now have no perception of the world around them - they just know how to snapchat.

Agreed with the others.

Social media perpetuates narcissism. I mean look at the 'selfie' revolution. I don't post on social media much. May be something I find pertinent or funny once a month; probably haven't for 2-3 months now though.

I do look at it though as it is a fascinating insight in to human behaviour. There are males (I can't really call them men) with selfies galore all over their profiles. Social media has made males and females much more self-indulged. But may be they were just like that all along and now they have an outlet for it. And may be it's a good thing (for the rest) because you can tell a great deal about someone by what they put in to the public domain.

Skinny is right, women were not apparently so self-obsessed before this arrived. Chronic Orbital Like Betas feed the beast. Makes you want to grab them by the scruff of the neck and say, 'You f*cking idiots, you are NOT improving your chances with ANY woman by kissing up to them. You are ACTUALLY making the game MUCH harder for ALL of us'. F*cking ignorant a$$holes.

I strongly disagree

The main problem here, and the reason skinnyguy is correct is based on one of the fundamental laws of economics: When you subsidize something, you get more of it.

With Facebook, every fat girl gets to take deceptively posed selfies, chosen from dozens under their ideal lighting conditions, and photoshopped often by the same girls who for decades felt a need to use the word 'airbrushed' in a sentence every time Playboy magazine was mentioned). Then, every one of her friends along with some desperate men will "Like" them. And they believe their own deception! It's like cheating at cards and feeling like a winner. Men normally don't partake in such things because they have integrity and honor. Women have always masqueraded and have no sense of honor. I'm one of the only real people on Facebook and I've got the unfriends to prove it.

Beware women who only have selfies. They hate their real selves and refuse to post any photo you take, no matter how gorgeous they are.

Back when hot girls felt fat, we had more hot girls. Now that fat girls feel hot, we have more fat girls. They are even talking about outlawing "fat shaming"!

This in effect subsidizes fat women. It encourages them. It says "You are hot enough". What do people do when they feel attractive? They gain weight. I've found that only heartache truly burns fat off my body. That's why your success will go in a cycle. Once you score enough, you get lazy, fat, dumped, inspired, thin and eventually laid again.
