Hahaha. Ishi, social media is quite different from reality. A lot of people still read books actually. I know of people buying hard cover of books or having a particular book as a birthday wishlist from Roving Heights book store.

And if it's not hard covers, there are soft copies readily available. cheesy

I used to have more than a thousand books on my phone before I lost it. I love novels really.

It's actually not uncommon for that to happen. Most of the times, when we complain that we develop sores by the corner of our lips any time we have fever, The real culprit is usually Cold sore not malaria as most think and it's funny you also see that happening in children as well and you wonder how did they contract it as well.

It's just bad eticate to rob your lips or face against a child's face. Many are asmytomatic carriers and would unknowingly spread the virus.
Romance / Unveiling The Paradox: Unpopular Opinion On Male Toxicities & The Bad Boy Appeal by ifegen(m): 8:19am On Jul 24, 2023
Introduction:
In a world where perceptions of gender roles have evolved, there is a pressing need to delve into the dynamics of relationships and their impact on masculinity. This post dares to explore a somewhat controversial opinion: Could the choices made by some ladies inadvertently contribute to the propagation of toxic masculinity? Let's embark on a thought-provoking journey to dissect this paradox and understand the underlying complexities.

The Allure of the "Bad Boy":
We often hear the phrase, "Nice guys finish last," and it's not uncommon to see some ladies drawn to the enigmatic appeal of so-called "bad boys." These individuals often exude confidence, assertiveness, and a sense of adventure that can be alluring. But why do these traits seem more appealing than the dependable, caring nature of "good boys"?

Nature's Dance of Selection:
Nature's laws of selection have played a pivotal role in shaping human evolution. The desire to adapt and survive with preferred traits is ingrained within us. When certain traits are consistently favored, they tend to become more prevalent in the gene pool over time. In this context, some argue that the preference for bad boys might be unconsciously influencing the perpetuation of toxic masculinity.

The Perception Paradox:
It is essential to acknowledge that generalizing all ladies as solely responsible for propagating masculine toxicities oversimplifies a complex issue. People's preferences are influenced by an intricate interplay of societal norms, personal experiences, and media portrayals. Yet, exploring the impact of these choices can lead us to a deeper understanding of how societal expectations influence our desires.

Unraveling Societal Influences:
The media and popular culture often romanticize the "bad boy" archetype, portraying them as rebellious and alluring figures. These portrayals can subconsciously influence perceptions of attractiveness and desirability, leading some to choose partners based on stereotypes rather than genuine compatibility.

Empowering Change:
To address this paradox, it is crucial for both men and women to recognize their power in shaping societal norms. Rather than perpetuating stereotypes, embracing diverse expressions of masculinity and femininity can lead to healthier relationships and empower individuals to be their authentic selves.

Reimagining Relationships:
Let us challenge the notion that masculinity must be toxic to be attractive. Instead, let's celebrate vulnerability, emotional intelligence, and empathy in men, while fostering environments where individuals can express their true selves without fear of judgment.

Conclusion:
In delving into the controversial concept of ladies potentially propagating masculine toxicities, we find ourselves confronted with a web of interconnected influences, from societal expectations to personal choices. Engaging in open conversations and fostering understanding can help us create a world where both men and women feel empowered to be their authentic selves, ultimately leading to healthier relationships and a more inclusive society.
