This Is Why So Many Women Are Single

I LOVE the way she says "Instagram". Insta-graaam. So cute. But is she being cute or is she implying Instagram's cute? Because 10 million Instagram followers isn't worth the paper Jordan Peterson's clinical license is printed on. Sorry, if that's an irrelevant comparison, but it's the first thing that popped into my head after skimming my page before writing this -- and that common denominator shit would make an interesting premise for a romantic comedy.

The real reason romantic relationships between men and women are failing at an increasing rate in the modern world is because they're increasingly perceived as less necessary, and I don't disagree. If you can survive and be content on your own, then why share the products of your efforts? Men have always thought this way, and now women are, too.
