 They don’t grasp this dichotomy though.

The 8 had a sugarbaby trip to the US, business class flights and nice hotel for a week and the guy was off working all week - he just took her along as a side piece to bang at the hotel. She cried and complained to the friend group about how she felt used 🙃

It’s not that their expectations are just a bit over the top, that i could understand. It’s that they’re completely disconnected from reality.

They also don’t seem to grasp this basic numbers game of how many girls are competing for so few of these high status men. Talking tens or hundreds of thousands of women for every one of these men, none of those few whom have the spare time for that lifestyle they want, but the girls all seem to think they’ll get what they want eventually. 
 It's an incredibly multifaceted dilemma. The two largest and most influential determinants seem to be that all forms of media (which the youngest of our global population seem to be obsessed with) have essentially become a means of indoctrination for the most mentally vulnerable (which we seem to have in abundance these days) and sky high living expenses. I could go on but, I'm no author. 😅🤷‍♂️ 
 Hence the explosion in cat popularity.
