Jana Hocking on Why ‘Situationships’ Aren’t For Her
New York Post ^ | April 22, 2023 | Jana Hocking

SNIP

As I self-consciously perused the room, stopping to talk to people here and there, I eventually joined a conversation with four very attractive women. All were complaining about their love lives.

One, who looked like she had come straight from a Victoria’s Secret shoot, was complaining that her man still won’t commit, despite being together for eight months. Another was complaining about her live-in lover who was still insisting they “don’t put a title on it”. Yep, they literally live together, but aren’t exclusive.

SNIP

“Tinder has found that women on the app are empowering themselves by asking for ‘a casual – yet clearly defined – relationship centred around transparency and freedom,’ as the app saw both Gen Z and Millennial women posting about situationships nearly four times more than Gen Z and Millennial men in 2022,” it said.

Situationship is a term I’ve never heard of before. Seems like people are into self-destruction these days.

In an age where sex is freely given and people aren’t religious, there is zero reason for a man with options to get married.

Zero.

The same women who are too dumb to see what the tranny movement is doing to them are also too dumb to realize the truth of what you said.

But don't tell them that. They're "boss babes" donchaknow.

But they are kind of being honest with this one. They know it’s not really a “relationship.” So, they have to put the vaguest title possible on it.

Zero”

Ditto for women.

How can anyone possibly be living with someone they are having sex with, and it’s *not* even a “relationship”? Are you kidding me? Bad enough that they are living together without being married, but now it called a “situationship”??

Girls, let this happily married woman of nearly 40 years inform you of what works. Don’t have sex with him, and don’t move in together, until he’s said “I do.” It cures what ails you if he’s the right guy.

1-similar values (assumes you have some)

2-true friendship (takes time)

3-mutual trust and respect (see #1)

Without this foundation the relationship will not survive the dynamics of life.

Too many women are hoping to catch a tall, good-looking men, with a lot of income, and assets. They are all chasing a small subset of men. This small group of men have no desire to settle down, and if they do, they prefer someone much younger. Eventually, the women either become bitter or settle for a “lessor” guy. The lessor guys, that were previously invisible, are figuring out marrying someone who just “settled” for them is not the ideal partner in marriage in today’s legal environment.

Yes, exactly. And, they are egged on in this silly pursuit by the media, often made up of homosexual males who push unlimited promiscuity as an ultimate life goal.

The media pushes the idea that children are to be avoided as being mere drags on freedom, instead of being the greatest challenge and greatest reward of being human.

Nah, you’re “empowering” sleazy men who want to use your fun bits and then toss you aside later. But whatever you gotta tell yourself so you can sleep at night, I guess.
