This is a place where I'll be explaining basic concepts of Sociology, as well as answering any Sociology-related questions that come my way.
While this blog is not explicit, it is intended for more mature audiences due to the nature of the subject. Anyone under/over 18 is allowed as long as they are respectful.

I love the fact that you're the second person I know to make Socio tiny compared to the rest of the group, I immediately started to recite the "Big fries, big mac, big drink" audio from memory
I want to squish his cheeks so bad, so I must ask, who of the Mafialings gets cuteness agression toward him?
That’s his emotional support (adopted)son, your honor

Controversial take on the date/payment discourse but I think social media has been really pushing (for women esp) that money/gifts/being financially taken care of is the most worthwhile expression of love. Obviously this isn’t a new thing, but I think it’s definitely gotten worse. Every month there’s a new gift giving trend and influencers all over getting/receiving the randomest super expensive gifts (most egregious imo is all the “basket” trends, like boo basket, burr basket etc). Nothing inherently wrong w doing that ofc but when it becomes the main form of content you’re watching you’re subconsciously setting a standard that spending $500+ a season on your partner is the only way to show you care (esp for teens who are more impressionable).
It just feels like a giant push towards more and more consumerism, and I get why influencers do that bc it’s the most marketable/profitable content - if you wanna work w brands or get paid for ads what better way is there than creating default content scripts that heavily feature products? Every brand who sees a video can easily envision their product in it and choose which creators to work with. And ultimately social media is all about selling you something.
But ofc the downside now that short form social media content has become so popular, this has become the main thing - outside of real life relationships people see. When I was a teen most relationship content I saw was in romcoms, books, and series - and while all of that was sometimes problematic I definitely didn’t focus on the financial aspects of a relationship the way that modern teens do. Yes there was still payment discourse but it was nowhere nearrrrr as prevalent lol, romantic gestures didn’t have to be expensive or showy the way they are now.
Honest hot take is that we are acc regressing a lot towards a more conservative culture and values and this and overconsumption are just symptoms of that but that’s a longer rant for another day and not your ask box 😭
something something our capitalistic individualistic culture commodifies relationships so people learn that a relationship's value is based on what we can "get" from each other (like money/financial benefits)... something something the power imbalance in traditional gender roles is based on that same principle of value exchange instead of mutual support and growth...
aka no my blog is the perfect place for that kind of ask!!!
also i'd argue finances of dating have always present we just talk about it more plainly.
