Why kpop quizzes, why?!

 

Why is this almost always a question in kpop quizzes and/or a thing in "kpop reactions"?? 

And why is the option "He trusts me" never freaking there??? 

Maybe I'm too old, maybe I wasn't born to find this sort of thing attractive, maybe I'm weird as heck but ... why? I don't want my guy to do anything to other men? If he wants to address his jealous (which is perfectly healthy) we can do that together, intimately, in the privacy of our homes. 

I don't want him to "man up" and protect me from strangers. I want him to trust me, want him to know that I can ask for help if needed and that I'm not going home with a stranger just because he flirts with me. 

 

I just .. find almost every possibility to be a toxic relationship. 

#1 option is totally out the window, major toxic behavior, red alarms blaring. If a partner prohibits you from spending time with the opposite or something that's like a major trust issue and I'm getting out of that as soon as freaking possible and you should too.

#3 and #7 is just unnecessary. Like, put your hand on my shoulder because you want to feel closer. Kiss me because you love me. Not to ward off some other men. How little do you believe in me? 

#2 is weird because I read it as if he would be irritated and it's ok to be irritated with your own inadequacies but come on, don't start a conversation about emotions being irritated?? It'll end up in a conversation that is like an attack. "You allowed these men to flirt with you". Nope. No. (I may interpret this wrong.)

#4 is also ... "Don't leave my sight?" WHAT?! Nope. We're not talking in a dangerous environment or anything. We're literally talking "guys trying to flirt with you". Don't leave my sight, my . What are you gonna do? Follow me into the bathroom?  

And I don't know about #5 "come here" because ... Ok, that's acceptable but you bet your that an explanation would have to follow. 

 

And I don't know how to read #6. "Doesn't even care". Does that mean he doesn't even care or does it mean I don't even care how he would react? I'm assuming it's the former but you know... Also, it's just .. He can care but he has to trust me in such situations. It's okay to feel insecure, it's okay to be jealous. But it's not things that should be addressed in public. It's things that couples work through together, step by step, and trust is just a major part of any relationship.

 

I believe jealous is a feeling we all experience once in a while. It's also healthy to talk about when we're jealous. But this romanticization of it, of how a guy is supposed to protect you from dudes flirting with you? Can we not?

Petition to stop this .

Agreed. I mean, it may sound and look adorable if they get jealous because they love you that much but if it begins to feel like they're restricting you of other human contact, that may pose as a problem.

I genuinely feel like a lot of Kpop fans and K-drama fans lowkey romanticize toxic relationships (and so do many K-dramas, and even some K-Pop lyrics, tbh), so in a way it doesn't surprise me that they have these sort of questions. Also idols, when interviewed about romance stuff (especially the males), almost always seem to be asked about relationship stuff and whether or not they would "allow" their girl to be out with male friends, dress a certain way, etc.... it's kind of annoying.
