Overusing the cat aka sex kitten energy is the premise of hoe behavior and the foundation of the pretty girl curse.
I’d like to branch off and bring men into the conversation.
But first, if you haven’t seen my reels breaking down these concepts (How to turn off Hoe Behavior) give them a watch on instagram. If you have seen them, it doesn’t hurt to review. It will set the stage for today’s video. The two I recommend are:
On insta I outlined how the pretty curse effects other women. In this post I discuss it’s impact on men who are in relationships. I point out two potential interpretations he could have of his significant other when she’s receptive to other men and embodying her cat outside of the relationship. I conclude with strategies I use to respect my male friendships.
As always, there’s much to discuss. For now, this video is another snapshot in the collage of social phenomena. Where corners of men and women cross and unseemingly related images come together to create a cohesive montage. We may be contrasting forms, but self-awareness and communication is the paper and glue that bring the collage together.
And that’s why we discuss. Not prove a point. But to come to a deeper understanding.
