Episode #93 – The Wall Social Media, Reality, and the Battle for Genuine Connection
Recorded November 25, 2023
The Wall: A Collision of Reality and Perception
It’s November 25, 2023, and I’m reading this while driving. I’ve been about 45 minutes ahead of me, so let’s discuss something on my mind lately. This is about the elusive “Wall” women face as they age, where their youthful allure no longer commands the same attention it once did. It’s set to a specific age but usually hits around 26-32 when women wake up to a different reality.
Beauty and Its Limits
I understand that the idea of “The wall” can be a sensitive topic for many women. As we all age, it’s natural for our appearance to change, and adjusting to a new norm can be challenging. It can be disheartening to notice that the likes, attention, and gifts that used to come our way quickly start to decline. It must be tough to feel like you’re losing your footing in a world emphasizing physical beauty. Additionally, I want to acknowledge that other factors, such as divorce, single motherhood, aggressive tattoos, and obesity, can also affect the attention and favors that women receive. I’m here to support you in making better choices, not attack you.
Social Media and Its Distorted Reality
Seeing so many women sharing videos about their experiences seeking validation on social media is incredibly eye-opening. It can be challenging to resist the lure of endless likes and the feeling of being recognized online, especially when times are complex, and the world changes quickly. With AI and other technology taking over jobs, women are facing more and more challenges, including debt and other struggles. Understandably, many people feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to navigate this new reality. However, it’s heartening to see that more and more women are realizing the importance of genuine connections with others. While social media can be fun and helpful in some ways, it’s no substitute for real human connection and support. By recognizing this, women are taking an essential step towards building a more fulfilling and meaningful life if they improve their personality, communication, and romantic relationship skill sets.
Changing Perceptions in a Shifting Economy
It’s not uncommon to see women transform how they present themselves online. Understandably, those who once flaunted themselves now embrace modesty and traditional roles’ virtues. Although it may feel like a sudden change, it’s important to remember that we all have the freedom to evolve and grow. This is due to the current economic climate, which is not always kind to those who don’t conform to specific standards. Let’s understand and support each other as we navigate these changes. However, men must recognize chameleon behavior and vet potential relationships with women, undergoing quick changes during hard times.
The Fine Line Between Genuine Change and Strategy
It’s hard to know if this change in strategy is a genuine shift of heart or just another ploy to secure the resources they need. They’ve been known to switch tactics when their current approach no longer works. During the pandemic, they resorted to more provocative content to get noticed, but now that this tactic is no longer effective, they’re turning to the “purity” narrative. While they may claim to have changed, I’m still assessing the authenticity of their new approach. Quick changes in any relationship should be viewed with skepticism.
Reflecting on the Impact of Digital Media
The modern world is rife with illusions. Using makeup and social media filters has created a distorted perception of reality. It is no longer uncommon for people to enhance their online images with filters and editing tools, transforming themselves from a two to an eight with the click of a button. This desire for online attention has created an unhealthy obsession with beauty and can lead to unrealistic expectations. Men and women are bombarded with images of perfection, leading to dissatisfaction with their lives and relationships. Genuine connections can be challenging to establish in a world where social media is king and reality is often blurred.
Real-Life vs. Virtual Personas
Throughout history, people have used various tools to enhance appearance and attract potential partners. These clothing and makeup tools have always been essential to dating. However, with the advent of technology and social media, how we present ourselves to the world has changed dramatically.
Nowadays, people use filters, editing tools, and other digital enhancements to create an idealized version of themselves online. While this may seem harmless, it has created a significant gap between our virtual personas and real-life expectations. This gap can make it challenging to find satisfaction in our relationships and connect with others on a deeper level.
Over-reliance on virtual validation also risks our ability to authenticate with others. Focusing attention on our online personas can lead to neglect of our real-life interactions, a lack of authenticity, and a need for more genuine connections.
Reclaiming Control
In today’s digital age, we are constantly bombarded with information and images that can distort our perceptions of reality. To counteract this, we must take control of our digital lives and consciously limit our exposure to the digital world. This can be achieved by practicing digital restraint, which involves setting boundaries for ourselves and our use of technology. We can also limit our time on social media and reduce our exposure to distorted realities, such as fake news and manipulated images. By being intentional about our digital habits and prioritizing real-world connections, we can reset our perceptions and live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
