I've said for years, that humans are, taken generally as a group, some of the most horrible, monstrous and terrifying phenomenon that the universe can produce from complicated chains of organic molecules.

But as individuals, humans are capable of the greatest feats of empathy, love, kindness and appreciation for each other and all life. This is the strange, nuanced dichotomy of the human condition. Like so many other things, we exist in a state of constant paradox.

What this means for our reality, for our daily experiencing interacting as physical beings with awareness of the outside universe, is that we have to make a choice about what kind of filter we're going to wear. We get to... no HAVE to choose how we're going to see and feel about the world. For many people, they allow experiences to naturally shape a filter for them. Something bad happens in their field of view, or many bad things, and that's the view they stick to. The error of allowing our world to be shaped this way is that people adopt this viewpoint, this "dark truth" of our world, thinking that it must be the "correct" view because of something they've seen, something that's happened to them, something they read that made them feel something they are having a hard time processing and internalizing in a healthy way.

But in the end, it's still a choice without a wrong or right answer. We can see the darkness and spit back at the bitterness of the uncaring world, or we can ignore the darkness and choose to appreciate the good, nurture the people, events and thoughts around us that foster care, empathy, trust and love.This isn't putting on blinders to reality any more than choosing the alternative. (If you're really hot shit you can simultaneously live in both worlds, but let's not try to strain ourselves, I mean as a species we can just barely handle turning in traffic while drinking coffee, lets cut ourselves some slack for trying to get a balanced handle on the universe and take baby steps.)

The danger of the internet is it offers deep, steep-sided rabbit holes that make whatever filter you are deciding to use seem very real and concrete, especially the darker ones that pluck your emotional chords.

Welcome to club Homo sapiens sapiens!

The bitterness of young heterosexual men is a real problem that can't be ignored. There are components of pop culture that reinforce the idea that teens are having lots and lots of sex and relationships. It's further amplified by the fact that their same age female peers are at their most physically attractive state and have the attentions of most men.

Men aged 18-24 who experience involuntary celibacy during their "prime" get shaming messages from nearly every direction. Some including myself and others take responsibility and look to improve ourselves for our own sake rather than focusing on women.

It's too easy to slip into bitterness and that's in part due to young people's immature and superficial dating choices. A dependable, kind guy that would be an otherwise great boyfriend is passed over for a more interesting, edgy and cool guy.

Men who enjoy dating success during the 18-25 period often have even more women competing for their attention than the most attractive women do. Hence, they are rarely monogamous or particularly nice people as being cool is a state rather than a behaviour.

It's interesting. Once women hit 25, their priorities change and the dependable, kind guy is much more attractive. However, if that same man is bitter it pushed women who are now open to dating him away. This leads to more permanent involuntary celibacy and misery.

TL;DR - Don't let your bitterness take over, young people are immature and by 25 you'll be a very attractive man.

No, women act that way, because they can. They'll always have someone who will take them, so it really doesn't matter, if they cheat or not.
