Do any others believe that reading manga/manhwa Is giving you unrealistic relationship standards?
Recently I’ve just been thinking that when I think about what a relationship should be....or at least what I want it to be. It’s something out of something I’ve read Or seen.
Mainly 3 different areas:
PHYSICAL LOOKS -which of course is definitely unrealistic to find a man as tall, and hot as some are portrayed in these stories
THE ACTUAL LIVES/STORY: as in....I’m sick of this boring ass world where everything is not exciting anymore....I want to be transported to a different world inside a book where I am the daughter of a “evil” king but he ends up loving me....and I grow up and befriend a cute prince and we grow up together and eventually get together.....and of course the world has magic....in which I happen to posses copious amounts of mana inside me.
Or I am in a world where I can fight dragons etc.
even worlds like solo leveling.....so long as I’m the OP main character lol.
PERSONALITY -which is also drastically different. Your not going to meet your dream man to Will be cold to everyone but you. Or if your into reading manga with some bdsm scenes (or slightLy controlling partner) but you also don’t want that in real life. But reading it makes you like it a bit. (FYI:don’t worry about me. I know the difference between mental abuse in stories vs real life. And I won’t ever let anyone do that to me....I just like it in stories).
It’s even hard to find a guy you just plain loves you....and won’t betray you in some way. I’m not saying I’ll shut myself out from the world. If it happens I’ll try it.
Is this just me??
I hope not.
I just think this world is very boring and every friend I have is in a shitty relationship....or no relationship at all. People let you down. And that’s ok, it’s reality. But....these stories make it seem like something better should be out there.
I just like to loose myself in tvshows and manhwa when I am able too.
