Internet Couples

Another list of “influential” internet couples by VH1. I've incorporated lists of “influential” internet couples because they are many people’s role models. Due to the fact that social media is a thriving empire, people on the internet use it as a platform to promote themselves. They simply get money off of being a relatable Twitter ,Facebook, Youtube couple.

This is a follow up to the previous #HurtBae video I’ve posted. Elder’s React to it, and they speak on how “phones” have changed relationships as well, and how everything seems to be a bit more public as to when people had no choice but to deal with things in private.

Earlier this year, a video called #HurtBae went viral. The Scene conducted a sit down between the two where they confront each other on the males infidelity. Social Media caused them to go viral, but beforehand, he felt like she didn’t trust him. She would go through his phone. Looking at texts and social media. She would find things that showed him being unfaithful. So he continued to do what he did because he was able to. Social Media gave us a platform and allowed us to see how relationships are impacted by social media and cheating.

Reflection: 

Since I’ve been on the topic of keeping social media out of your relationships. I found an article in Women’s Health that speaks on the dangers of social media in your relationships. Casey Gueren, the author, reported that according a new study by the Journal of Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking “People who use Facebook more than once a day are more likely to report relationship conflicts arising from social media” and “... even worse—those conflicts had a significant correlation with negative relationship outcomes, like cheating, breaking up, or getting divorced”. To help stop the statics from growing Gueren has created 5 rules to help balance out social media in your romantic relationship.

Pew Research Center: Social Media and Romantic Relationships

Reflection: The Pew Research Center conducted a research on the impact of technology on teen romantic relationships in 2015. Teens view social media as a place/space for connection with their partner. This space that social media has created allows jealousy, uncertainty, and emotions to run rapidly. Social media allows teens to feel more connected to their partner’s everyday life than simply just asking. Even though people assume that girls use social media more to connect with their partner because we are scientifically more emotional. “... 65% of boys with relationship experience who use social media agree that these sites make them feel more connected about what’s going on in their significant other’s life”. Pew has concluded that Teens state that social media has a had either a positive or negative impact on their relationship.
