Social media has transformed how we date, perceive ourselves, and value female athletes, creating unrealistic expectations and dangerous psychological impacts while simultaneously helping raise the profile of women's sports.
• Social media creates unrealistic relationship expectations by showing only highlight reels without the struggles
• Dating apps are deliberately designed with the same addictive swiping mechanisms as mobile games
• Teen suicide rates increased 65% between 2010-2015, coinciding with social media's rise
• Women in the top 100 NIL athletes increased from 32% in 2022 to 52% in 2023
• Women's sports are gaining recognition as engagement increases and arenas sell out
• Female athletes often struggle with jealousy from other women rather than receiving support
• Men tend to evaluate female athletes more objectively, focusing on skill rather than personal feelings
• Finding identity in Christ rather than social media validation creates healthier self-image
Find your identity in something deeper than likes or followers because social media presents a façade designed to provoke comparison and insecurity.
