You're the first YouTuber I've seen who's addressed both sides of this issue ... I really like that. I feel humanity is finding a new equilibrium concerning sex, and it's great you named "purity culture" as the opposite extreme. Extremes are damaging, always. Thanks for the food for thought.

In other words if you're seeing someone casually you can treat them like shit with no repercussions..Great!

Personally I would never even approach arguing that long term relationships don't take work always tended to argue it does take work but I never regretted the time I put into that. ever.
truthfully- I could see the pay off working a bit differently for women though predictably. It can be harder in different ways I think it's a lot more difficult for a man to get a date and its a lot more difficult for a woman to find a guy she really connects with so you get this whole like women will go on tons of dates men will go on a fewer but feel more positive about them than women often do.

The thing is about "Work" I run an internet business explicitly because a 9-5 position sounds like hell to me and I'm already self-aware that I don't handle grief well relationships are "Dangerous" in the sense that I could get hurt and the way that I handle grief isn't the most healthy because I just shut down like there's a song over the years which kinda became a personal favorite because it just spoke to the way heartbreak and grief are ambition killers.

there's an old saying that men are afraid women will make fun of them and women are afraid men will kill them and I'm like actually I'm afraid that if things go sideways I'm not going to want to even get out of bed for the next year and a half and will lose every motivation keeping me building the company I am building.

Sorry it's just I like being in a relationship a little bit more than most people so, like a bad breakup won't be like being made fun of, it will leave me laying there spiraling wondering what I did wrong what happened if I could have done anything differently and just wanting to lay in bed and cry until I feel like seeing the sun again a year and a half later.

because that's what it was like the first time.


I'm more sensitive than most men so.. but the thing is my amazon company EXIST Primarily because I know I don't handle well how am I going to keep a roof over my head if every time someone hurts me I just lay there and let the world keep spinning while i sit standing still.

Heartbreak is exceptionally good at destroying careers for me. That's the reality. So like any ambition other than Getting over an ex when it happens gets thrown away and life gets stupidly simple when it happens.

I hate "jobs" too. I work though. I work on my business. But truthfully relationships are what i find meaningful in life so it's just I realize the longer term serious ones are work but like I said If it is a job its the only one i'd campaign to have and ever truly wanted because i hate the traditional ones.

For Humanity to exist, many people (probably MOST people) have to make and raise children. Raising children with a stable long-term partner is so much easier and safer than doing it alone. I have two children and I had periods when I had to care for them alone, and for me it's obvious that two parents are better than one.
That is the main reason MOST people enter long-term relationships – with an eye towards eventually starting a family.
(Also, I am here working from the assumption that the continued existence of the human race is a good thing, which doesn't need to be proven in this conversation).
Even for these people, the Hookup Culture can be a valuable temporary phase allowing to try things, meet people, and find a future long-term partner.
And then of course there are numerous exceptions who don't plan to have a family or don't do "relationships" at all.
So, the Hookup Culture has its place.
But I predict that, at least for decades to come, there will globally be fewer people practicing hookups than people in stable long-term relationships.
