Exactly this. Millennial women were told “no rush,” “you have time,” etc for years.
They went to college, did everything “right,” (or so they were told) and then when they post a video worried about being 36 and alone, they get laughed at.
They never got wisdom from their elders. Just boomers who had a generation of unhappy marriages that served as a warning.
I was actively persuaded not to “waste my youth” by being in a relationship in my early 20’s by the majority of women I met in Los Angeles.
Granted, it’s different everywhere, but for Millennials, marriage wasn’t really encouraged until after your 30’s in most places. And many who did get married younger that I went to school with were divorced by 30.
Now I do know some amazing married couples who have been together a good 10-20 years. Typically they met young, grew up together, worked together, and have an overall grateful disposition for life.
They are very aspirational. The husband and wife are always equally impressive and you can tell they adore each other. This wasn’t the average couple but couples who went out to do great things together.
I think marriage is the greatest blessing. But in the most successful ones, they have the mindset for it. You can use a positive mindset to succeed in anything though. From health to work to relationships.
If you are married or in a relationship, this article is a must read to understand male/female dynamics and flaws that can hurt your relationship if you’re not aware of them and able to master them. open.substack.com/pub/brittanyhu…
The Washington Post wrote about me and my company in an article titled “Women are getting off birth control amid misinformation explosion.”
It was a horrible (yet predictable) hatchet job full of fear-mongering and, ironically, misinformation.
@LaurenWeberHP, you should be ashamed that you, as a woman, are contributing to the mass gaslighting and dismissing of women’s horrible experiences on birth control.
I’d say you are out of touch and uninformed at best, but you’re also directly complicit in TikTok censoring and removing viral videos of women speaking out.
Before I address the article, I’d like to address the journalists and reporters from virtually every legacy media company that follow my accounts: You often lament why people don’t trust the media anymore.
Your lack of self-awareness is astonishing. You are a perfect example of why people hate and distrust legacy media. You deceive and bait, as you did to influencer Nicole Bendayan for this article (I have the receipts), and go in with your story pre-determined.
That’s not honest reporting, and it’s certainly not journalism. Reporters used to care about the truth, wherever it would lead them. They used to believe in speaking truth to power. Now, you attack the people on behalf of the powerful. You are propagandists, blinded by your own politics.
Women’s health is not a political issue. It is a health issue. The government has no business interfering with our personal health.
In case you needed a reminder, our healthcare system is broken, we are one of the unhealthiest, most obese countries on earth, our food industry prioritizes profits at all costs, including putting countless toxic, disease-causing ingredients in our food that are banned in places like Europe, and the regulatory agencies are essentially controlled by pharmaceutical companies.
It’s exhausting yet predictable to see reporters incapable of keeping politics out of health. A short time ago, we all laughed at headlines calling fitness and working out “far right.”
The author goes on about how “boring” Taylor Swift is and then goes on to say her favorite band of all time is “The Beatles.”
Speaking of boring, “The Beatles” are one of the most overrated bands of all time.
I truly will never understand the obsession with lyrics like, “I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand,” or “we all live in a yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine, yellow submarine.” The only good song from them is “Blackbird.”
Not to mention the creepy decapitated baby album cover they did.
Taylor Swift is for the hopeless romantic girlies.
Not everyone has to like her music. But she’s definitely talented and as one of the only singers today who’s been songwriting her entire career and is able to recreate herself each album, she has longevity that’s rare these days.
I’m all for women getting married young if they meet “the one.” There’s nothing better in my opinion. Hookup culture is overrated.
But this is comparing a movie star who has had work done and tons of money for the best trainers/nutritionists etc with a former actress who was an… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I did read an interesting study that women are supposed to look “better” than men at the same age but men generally do because they eat more red meat whereas women eat more foods covered in pesticides.
I’ll have to try to find it.
Honestly I’m probably delusional too because aging like Penelope Cruz is on my bucket list.
Unpopular opinion but I think Nashville is the most overhyped city in America.
1. It takes forever to get food or even water. There are always crazy long lines. I understand this weekend is Taylor Swift weekend but even on a tuesday a couple months ago it took an hour for me to get in a restaurant.
