The topic makes me wonder if technology / social is retarding maturity.

Do you think this is true of people, not just one sex?

Haha, you got me - the touristy aspect does turn me off. But someone recommended Bali to me, as a first destination for a solo woman traveller 😃

My pleasure 🤍 You are an absolute sweety btw, beautiful gentle energy on the forum

Great point. You don't know yourself as well. You cannot yet communicate your needs (or know them) with clarity. You mistake the heady thrill of lust for love. You can be afraid of being hurt, lacking the confidence to know you will recover from anything. Sometimes something feels wrong in a relationship, or a need isn't being met. And we aren't clear enough to enunciate it, or even know what is wrong. So naturally people look outside themselves to find what is wrong. Which can lead to cheating or immature behaviour. I wonder how much the comparitive nature of social media feeds into the 'grass is always greener' mentality that creeps in. Past generations simply would not have been swamped with images of perfection and finely curated lives in current volumes. I am 40 this year. I grew up without social media - then with. I saw both sides in a way. But I can never be sure that anything is directly causative. I can see trends and changes in behaviour, though.

Agree. He turned his shit around

Begging for it, aren't we?

Nice try

Not so fun fact - I've seen someone murdered in front of me. Those inferences can get you!

I think it's less about raw ability here and more about the aura doing the work 🙃

Absolute mogging. Overpowering aura. Reminds me of this energy - old. But an aura that could ballslam anyone into a meat crayon:

1. I self-generate my own suffering. 2. I self-generate negative emotion. 3. Feeling is one of the most intelligent aspects of survival. Also, self-knowledge. 4. I have no control. I take action on the top priority thing (or highest % to influence outcome) to push kinetic energy toward a potential outcome. I just stay the course and engage with the flow of life. Have the wisdom to know when to act. Insane shit happens. 5. I do not know. 6. Fear is deception. 7. Anything I reject outwardly is within me, manifested in an unconscious way. 8. Any thought, concept, belief, frame, ideal etc is just a cataract between Self and reality, obscuring what IS.

@Joshe I may have read it wrong, but I thought when Leo said: 'You have to do something seriously off for a woman to replace you once she has fallen for you.' It meant unmet needs? That could just be my assumption 🤪 Maybe that's the core of the issue - both sexes are not getting needs met. A change as technology has taken over. It might explain modern dating patterns.

Cheating is definitely a constant, tale as old as time for people.
