If you ever want a check of real life versus social media

Head to your local swimming pool.

Just took my kids to the local wave pool for a couple of hours. Because I had surgery recently I didn’t swim and just hung out reading and surfing while keeping an eye on them.

Let me tell you, being in decent shape for both men and women now is very rare. In bathing suits, you can’t hide much. Only one or two women out of hundreds had bodies that looked anything like social media thots. About 25% of them were total land whales. Saggy butts, gunts, big stomachs, etc.

75% of the men were chubby with guts hanging over their suits. What’s even sadder to me is seeing obese kids, and there were a large number of those as well.

This is your average snapshot of suburban bodies in a decently affluent area. So don’t stress about the women you go after not being super hot, they are far rarer than you think.

The kids is what gets me. I want to be mad at the parents but they didn’t know any better. They were taught that too.

We literally watched capitalism destroy us in our live times.

There was already so much bs in place by the time we were born, we just had to follow it. But holy **** in our generation the world got fat.
We choose the easy answer of obesity. Society does not support health. That is a fact.

We have done this to ourselves for money.

Congratulations. We made it.

Theres comfort in normalcy.. thats why most people are avg. Emulating others, no real sense of identity other than what others are doing - to be honest, that is social media in and of itself

People mix up popularity and quality all the time. Thinking popularity in #'s is equal to quality.. whereas its prob more like relatable

Even a millionaire making a million bucks doesnt have to be that remarkable. Getting 1 million people to buy a 1 dollar product vs. Creaging a 1 million dollar product. Thats lile the equivalent of what social media is these days. Just get a big audience

Or the local mall.

Typically high end malls have a 1:1 ratio of rotters and tryhards.

Even then, seeing that 50% are rotters is wild. But i'd say about half of all rotters are married and just hate their life lol.

And of the tryhards only about 5% of those are putting themselves out there

Scrolling down so many good looking women on insta is not a good thing, for me the average women was slim and had double Ds lol
