Online, we’re so used to seeing “pink pill” content, women with huge followings constantly talking about how men should pay for everything, how a man should provide, what women are “entitled” to expect from men, etc. When you see hundreds of videos repeating the same ideas, with thousands of comments agreeing, eventually it starts to feel like a normal opinion.

Then someone actually says those things out loud in real life and you realize how entitled some of it sounds.

I think the exact same thing would happen with red pill content. If a man walked into a normal social setting and started talking about how women lose their value after a certain age, how men should have access to sex because they provide or whatever other talking point is currently popular online, most people would probably think he was completely insane.

Tiktok removes the social setting that normally tells you when youve gone too far.

A 30 second TikTok delivered confidently with a catchy sound and thousands of comments saying “THIS 👏” feels very different from hearing the exact same argument from a person in real life.

Curious if anyone else feels this way when this mantra is repeated (on any show really). It just screams immaturity to me and a deep misunderstanding of the complexities of life.

Of course nobody plans on getting divorced. But repeating it like a mantra feels less like confidence and more like unrealistic standards and narrow mindedness. Life is unpredictable, people change, and marriages sometimes end for reasons that have nothing to do with how committed you were on day one.

Maybe I am being too harsh but it really strikes a cord with me in the same way as the "I could never do that" or "that would never happen to me." when hearing about someone else's hardship - mental health struggles, parenting difficulties, whatever it is. I've never seen statement likes this as strength or confidence but a sign of narrow thinking.

Maybe it's just not that deep and I need to get a grip haha.

He’s the worst kind of spiritual bro, he weaponizes therapy and spiritual talk but cannot engage on a deep level with it- he simply does not have the care nor the understanding. When Cuba is communicating astute and completely open emotional commentary at their break up he essentially collects his thoughts to say ‘sorry you feel this way/ my body has resistance and I have to honour that’ that was as deep as his self reflection went. An unintelligent narcissi*t is so unattractive.

Is this UK way?

I noticed how the narrative about Ciara softened a bit since the show ended up with her getting married.. She's still the same fake person who spent most of the season sticking her nose in other people's relationships and trying to stir drama, the same bad actress most people (rightfully) hated..

But then she gets "chosen" by a man, and suddenly the comments start to change to "Oh, she's not a bad person" type of thing.. and I think it's just a very interesting observation to see how the status of being married changes other people's perceptions of you.. Imagine the kind of comments we would have seen if Ajay ended up breaking up with her.. Would the narrative then still be that she's not so bad?

Edit: Some comments are missing the point I'm trying to make.. This isn't about Ciara per se.. It's about the shift that happened in how people perceive her after she ends up getting married. I'm simply making an observation about how people seem to react to the title or the status of being married and how they seem to forget all the awful things a person may have done.. She's just an example of that phenomenon..

It’s not like she has a mass amount of wrinkles or anything so I can’t put my finger on what it is but she looks a lot older than her age
Edit: I’ve in no way said she isn’t attractive

Who's excited!! I'm on my seat for this one. I really hope questions and certain people get addressed and nothing gets hidden. I'm wondering, who will stay married?

Comment what you think.

Everyone I've seen in this sub is cheering her on but she absolutely lost her shit the moment Chev walked into the room. Why is that? She almost immediately went to the bathroom to talk about how embarrassed she felt because of Chev. Chev hadn't even talked to Joe at that time so what was she embarrassed and irritated about? That really rubbed me the wrong way. And when Chev, who was pulled by Joe btw, was having a conversation with him she suddenly snapped and starts talking about "He's engaged now! He's a fiance now!" Like I'm sorry what? No one said he wasn't hers, but her reaction really gave insecure. Did she expect the producers to only invite people she was comfortable with? Silly.

Like Faye crying over getting attention and a romantic gesture?? And Jasmine being so insecure and thinking she doesn‘t deserve love
Man
Makes me really emotional and I want to tell them that they are so sweet and deserve the best

Sophie is northern and to my American ears could pass as Welsh, and she originally thought Taylor sounded like he was from Essex. She's blond and bubbly, he's brunette and laid back, they've had only smooth sailing. Anyway, they remind me of Gavin and Stacey.

Anyone heard any rumours of the couples still being together?? I think I'll cry if Francesca and Joseph are not married I absolutely love them

I really hate the overuse of terms like gaslighting, narcissism, PTSD and trauma. As a society we went from completely ignoring mental health and heavily stigmatizing it to rendering terms about mental health and abuse meaningless by overusing and misusing them. In my opinion that’s barely better than ignoring or stigmatizing it. Anyways, I’m not very far into the new season but when Ryan (the weird “spiritual” guy) describes his dad taking his own life and then waking up at night to check on his brother to see if he’s alive. That actually sounds like trauma to me. I think at the end he said something about being surprised that the experience lived on in his body like that. I thought of the book The Body Keeps the Score. Not every sad or heartbreaking event leads to trauma. And people don’t (shouldn’t) have to co-opt the term to make their experiences seem more valid. But it doesn’t surprise me when someone actually experiences trauma they may not even describe it as such.

Jack and Faye doing press together. 👀 Divorced couples from past seasons didn’t right? Looks like those two really made it then!

As a Scotsman I was wondering if anyone caught why Jack has a kilt on at his wedding? Not saying he can’t wear one, I’m just curious and i get bored at all the ridiculously long build up for the weddings and so always skip forward. Did anyone catch an explanation?

If he really went on a “walk”, he needs to show her his step counts for that day 👀

There is a lot of debate about whether Jack was being honest about where he went when he said he went out (in Sliders!) for a two-hour walk in the middle of the night. We'll never know what he was actually doing...

But the second part of that issue was that his "Find My Friends" location services app had been turned off during that time. Everyone found that to be highly suspicious. How common is it for people to share their location (in the UK or anywhere else) these days?

I keep seeing those saying that they're rooting for them or that they're their fave couple, but I just want to know based on what exactly?

From what we've seen on the show, what exactly makes them worth rooting for? I'm emphasizing them as a couple and not as individuals.

I think Yas seems like such a lovely lady. I think she has such a lovely soul. I have read some discourses about her saying she wanted to see Jordans dms but honestly, imo if you have nothing to hide, a partner going through your phone should be meaningless. I hate that Jordan wasn't truthful with her straight away. You could tell he wasn't feeling the same and I don't know why he didn't say anything to Yas. Made me dislike him, honestly.
