Casual dating market is incompatible with Classic Romantic Comedies

[Latinolooksmaxxer]

The plot of Classic romantic comedies (1950s-2000s) - the quintessential OG one being Breakfast at Tiffany's - boils down to:

- normie falls in love with stacy

- he approaches her, she kinda likes him because he's kind and funny but decides to put him in Friendzone cuz subchad / not rich

- stacy fails in securing LTR with rich chad because hes a jerk

- stacy settles for normie because he helps her with her issues AND - this is the most important part - people were IMPELLED to marry and build a family




BUT

in dating market most people nowadays are OK-ish with not being in a LTR. so foid will keep chad chasing and never settle for the funny normie

No, romantics have always been Chad swoons htb [becky with 1 or 2 good features, attractive enough for delusional foids to think they are them, but not too attractive where immersion is impossible]
Thing always goes well for Chad whether he is a super cowboy gunslinger or a fresh suited Chad. This is so the men watching can enjoy it too by pretending they're the Chad.

No movies before like 2014 make sense anymore when it comes to romance. Women aren’t like that at all anymore lol it’s sad

And, western movies to this day still write female characters as if they aren’t a bunch of tinder hoes

Though I will say the Chads back then had a much lower barrier for entry
Look at the Shiekh [1921]

Or the 60's

Even the 70s

The issue here is not so much that "romantic comedies is a psyop to bluepill normies"

It's that post-sexual liberation epoque progressively made LTRs not becoming the norm anymore - the trend consolidating in the 2000s - is simply not the same epoque in which the blueprint of the Romantic Comedy was created. Even the romantic comedies of the 90s and early 2000s were mostly written by boomers based on that framework from the early 1900s.

think the aforementioned Breakfast, its based on a novel by Truman Capote who's a Greatest Gen. He grew up in a time where most people married and lived with 1 partner for their entire lives so the whole plot of the romance story of someone was to find "the one" (the spouse) marry and thats it. And foids went along with it because it was the norm. If they couldnt have chad, they NEEDED to settle with normie.

Nowadays this simply isnt the social norm anymore so the motiff of romantic comedies is outdated. Simply outdated, not a psyop.

- he approaches her, she kinda likes him because he's kind and funny

This also acts as an Oedipian fantasy

Who is the woman who is pleased when the boy is kind and entertaining? A mother
The way the normie pursues the approval of the movie's stacy mirrors the yearning for mother's approval.

That's why young people like romantic comedies so much
