Relationships
TV Shows Are Conditioning Women To Accept Situationships. I Know, It Happened To Me
I once waited three years for a man to ask me out. Shows like “Sex and the City,” “Gilmore Girls,” and “Friends” not only validated my tolerance of the relationship, but they also gave me hope. Only after I walked away from empty words and empty promises did I realize that these types of TV shows were programming me to think that these behaviors were okay.

Who hasn’t heard, these days, of a tragic story where a woman waits around for a man for years to propose, only for him to turn around and propose to the next girl within a year? Or of a woman stuck in a situationship for years with it never going anywhere? Is it possible that shows that aired 30 years ago have influenced us to think that this behavior is normal?
