Fake Love is Everywhere


The discussion about “This is Emo” really interested me because it made me realize how television really comes off as showing the “perfect relationship.”  When television and movies have couples, they make them seem like there is no fighting, everyone is happy, or there are no problems.  In reality, every couple fights, you’re not always going to be happy, and there will be problems.  This makes it hard for men and women to find the right guy or girl because they want the relationship that they see on television or in the movies.  Because of this, we have such high standards for what we want in a significant other that when we o become involved with someone that we are not happy or disappointed because it is not what we expected or it is not what he saw it to be. 

It is hard to find the perfect someone because no one is perfect.  There are high expectations for what people look for in a partner because of this thing called “fake love” which is what we see on television and in movies.  Television and movies make dating and marriage look so easy and perfect that we get disappointed when we actually do get involved and it is not what someone was hoping.  Finding a significant other has become so much more challenging for both men and women due to the television and movie influence of fake love.

  1. Yes, I agree with you. Some people always seek for the best one, but in the real life there is no perfect man or woman. However, because the effect of media, they still keep thinking they can get the perfect partner during their life.

  2. The "This Is Emo" discussion and reading really interested me to. I agree the movies and love stories make us think that is real life love, but that is only a fantasy. We have to realize everyone even great couple argue and no relationship is perfect like it shows in the movies.

  3. I feel like movies are very deceiving because most of them only show one part of what a relationship is and that one part is only good. They barely show the fighting and what a relationship is actually like.
