romantic comedies can't really be responsible for the young generation doing these exact same things, since romantic comedies haven't been a valid genre in over a decade this kind of messaging comes most directly from advertising, for products. as if anyone has the attention span for entire movies any more.

Only episode I remember was one where the redhead was getting down with some dude and he started eating her rear end and she made a little surprised face and I was like "jeez, this is kinda hot" but then it turned out she wasn't into it and my pud deflated instantly. 1/10

Was Sex and the City that last big thing (considering the time of the first film, too) of its type where we were still in a relatively easy to follow sex-positive culture in the mainstream from the early mid-90s-mid 2000s? I've sort of felt that 2008 was when the attitudes started to shift, and sure enough that was the year the movie came out, too. The midpoint for shows like Two and a Half Men and Entourage seem to similarly around that 2008 window.

Only thing funny about the first one is that it opened the same weekend as Ted. So you had couples literally splitting into groups at the theaters where a bunch of women went to see a movie with lots of boobs and loving and all the dudes went to see a movie about a teddy bear.

It's a really amazing juxtaposition to read this womans self-account and to read male incels propaganda about women. Fun fact: this woman is everything male incels perceive all women to be. Even up to the point where she somehow unselfconsciously admits to settling down with a safe "reasonable man" now that she's older and past the party years of no self accountability. Incels were right in this case?

Rich people's adult kids often have fake lives prepared for them with pretend mini-careers provided by networking with other rich people at businesses they own, because "I'm waiting around for dad to die so I get the money" is kind of embarrassing to admit. They get little talking points like charity work their parents can mention at parties. Then you get naive upper-middle class people who decide to "move to the city and make it big" and the biggest thing they can imagine is the same kind of fake-pretend-mini-career-taking-points thing that they parrot at anyone who will listen. "My $750 a week writing job means I have to budget for groceries unlike my lawyer dad I'm such a free spirit haha, gosh maybe I should gently caress some millionaires or something" Rich people quietly support this because it helps support their own lies and it provides a safe, clean pool of young rear end for their kids to hook up with and socialize among in a more or less healthy manner during their formative years None of this is bad really it's just embarrassing, plus there are like children starving somewhere

If you're like, middle-middle-class and your job is like, your actual job, and it is the money you have to spend in life, it can be mildly annoying to have a social pool of such twats flapping about in the background of your acquaintance for a couple years I guess but really you should be busy clawing and scratching your way upwards into the upper-middle-class (in income if not socially) so that you can ever retire or pay a kids way through college or whatever

My first ever direct report, a fresh from college 21 year old, showed up to the first day on the job in a customized BMW the BMW logo was pink instead of blue ontop of its many other features, and she promptly told me that she would need to take fridays off for the next few weeks as the Polo world cup was on and she had a horse participating in it that she wanted to cheer on. She left after about two weeks to a job in New York as some regional TV manager or something for Fox pulling north of 200k because her uncle was on the board. Lock that kind of a woman down and even in the divorce you'll never work again.

You want to marry an actual rich girl who you meet while she's briefly slumming it among the upper-middle-class You don't want to marry an upper-middle-class girl who is pretending to be a rich girl slumming it. Especially if she doesn't realize that is what she is doing and thinks her "saving the whales columnist" job is real. At least not unless you yourself have finally earned an upper-middle-class income- in which case why not marry a middle-middle-class girl who will appreciate your mild success and have a much better personality

People get the impression that I’m rich, or that I’m from a rich family, I’m really not. Definitely know a lot of families with a lot more money than ours. You see a lot of interesting dynamics, but honestly people dating and marrying across class tends to present unique and fascinating problems to witness from a safe distance. My one rule of thumb is, if you are a woman, never, never marry down.

I've known my fair share of wealthy people and there's a lot of utility in befriending them. I once had a job where a friend's millionaire dad paid me 200 hundred dollars a day to sit in he utility room of a slum he owned smoking weed and occasionally fielding complaints from tenants. Calling a plumber and so on. Most of the wealthy people I've known there was always this undercurrent of "I'm friends with a poor person like you cause of the drugs you can get and the fun you bring" tbh. One or two became geniune friends and helped me out of some tight spots financially. They always seemed to lack perspective. It made them sort of childish at times.
