No strings attached" = sex vs. love


I am so sick and tired of hollywood promoting that life is just abou, sex, having fun and partying. It is extremely unrealistic to say that you can form a beautiful and loving relationship out of something that began with lust.
In the movie, "No Strings Attached," Natalie Portman was depicted as the emotionless girl who finds it completely suffocating and awkward to be in a relationship so she wants’ to have her cake and eat it too. Her relationship with Ashton Kutcher is awkward in itself and it sparked a thought in her mind that she wanted to KINDA be friends while sleeping together with each other periodically.
     Portman stated in an interview in the 'E' channel, that she thinks it's kind of liberating to have the roles reversed. The fact of the matter is that males more often have people believing that they're sex crazed and that they crave it 24-7. Portman mentioned that she appreciated the fact that the woman had the upper-hand in this case. o_0  Is this what it’s come to America? 
     I was in utter repulsion at the fact that this movie began with Kutcher getting sloppy dunk and finding himself in the home of Portman. After he woke up, they had sex. After the quickie, Portman established that she wanted to remain associated basically. She then realized that the sex was so good that they should become sex partners with no strings attached. Of course it wouldn't be a movie if no strings were attached, so the culprit happened to be Kutcher when he fell for her. 
     After countless episodes, Kutcher fell for Portman and as she kept fighting him off and PUSHING him to sleep with other women, she realized that she was f'ing up and she confessed her love to him. It was then where he told her that, if she took him back, she needed to realize that he wasn't gonna let her go. Are you friggin kidding me???
      How can you honestly sit up here and say that is is acceptable, cute and romantic to build a relationship on sex and call it love? How dare you promote that and have the audacity to nominate it for rewards??? I’m not understanding America, help me understand. Better yet, help yourself understand why you have so many basic problems in your relationship. How did your relationship start? In what way did you base your attraction on this person? 
     Stacy Dash mentioned that in her three divorces, she had sex the first night to see if it would last. She claimed that she wants to do it the right way this time. What does that tell you??? It is truly heartbreaking to see people go through such a preventable demise in this world when all it takes is a little patience and self-respect for self.
Women, men only treat you the way you allow them to treat you. Have more standards for yourself. Why are you in a rush to get into a relationship? To say that you got somebody? Think about your motive for wanting to be with someone or even while you're still with that person. 
     My mother told me once, people are so confused with relationships and marriages. You washing his clothes and living together and having joint accounts and no ring. That's a problem. There's no true commitment in that. He is truly having his cake and eating it too. Demand more for yourself.
     Men, we look to you for protection and comfort and guidance. Would you want your daughter to date someone like you? Expect more for yourself. We gotta have higher standards for ourselves people.
