I have always noticed something interesting 💭 People share beautiful thoughts, meaningful...

I don't think we are becoming more interested in appearances, I think we've been there for a long time. It would seem, with all we need to defend ourselves from, there's more ego-identity involvement these days than ever before.

I've seen for a long time on SW, more notice of and responses to "sexy" materials than to beautiful thoughts, meaningful words, and inspiring messages. Therefore, I'm not nearly as active on SW as I used to be.

this is one of those things anyway.

Becoming?? This has been true as long as I have been online.
As a kid, being the listener and the watcher, the people with the dirty jokes, filthy stories and women with the least clothes got the most attention.
Only in very specific circles was knowledge and deep contemplation admired.

Been that way since the birth of the worldwide web.

Definitely and quite often the pattern around here

That’s such a real observation. I’ve noticed the same thing, people can share depth and positivity, but it doesn’t always get the reach it deserves. Meanwhile, quick, surface level posts pull in the most eyes. It really makes you ask what we’re rewarding with our attention. Maybe it’s just what spreads fastest, but I agree, the stuff that actually feeds the mind and heart shouldn’t be the easiest to scroll past.

It has always been that way. First appearances are important, then the deeper things come out to seal the deal.

Some here just seem to be highly sex-deprived. It makes for some very strange reactions, to say the least.

This has been the case for very long. The only difference now is that it has become too common these days.
People don’t seem to enjoy meaningful conversations, let alone listening with an open mind, I think it’s the end of an era.

Are we becoming more interested in appearances than in meaningful conversations

Mmhm. Been that way for a very long time.🥱

It’s sad but true.
Many are so superficial yet complain about the quality of their lives.
Like it or not, we have to live with the choices we make.

People seek what they can't get in real life on the web or what ticked their interest more .... philosophical stuff can be exchanged anywhere with anyone can you do the same on matters related to intimacy that too anonymously..?

Are you truly asking or is this a rhetorical question?

Livingwell · 61-69, M

I think appreciation is expressed. But it is not very visible..
