The first folk culture advice that I read was " How to think of conversations to talk about with your boyfriend" these are "tips" on how to start fun and interesting conversations with your boyfriend so that you guys will never be bored or suffer through those "awkward silences." These 16 tips are pathetic. The teach us what we "need to" do in order to have a conversation with your boyfriend. Even though if you thing logically, having "awkward silences" with your boyfriend should really make you think about your relationship on a deeper level. Why be with someone who ur not comfortable with? The tips should help you start conversations with a guy you want to get to know and are attracted to. Maybe they will be helpful then. The fact that here "warning" girls about what to avoid doing to guys shows us how much folk culture focuses on how girls need to worry about how to be with guys, since it should come to guys easily, as folk culture wants us to believe.
The second was " How to be the perfect boyfriend /girlfriend" This video consisted on tips to being a good bf/gf. This was one seemed to be made to make us laugh at how people ,folk culture, expect us to act towards our significant other. The things they say are all about wat folk culture teaches us though. "Thinking of the other" before you think of yourself and "putting them first" seems to be one of the messages that are advised to us. These videos show us some ideas of what folk culture believes in the subject but not many. It gets confused with dominant corporate culture msg's on relationships.
