00:00:00.000 I have a question, I have a question.
00:00:01.360 Do they have husbands?
00:00:02.980 Yes.
00:00:03.820 No, not except.
00:00:04.900 We can't say that.
00:00:05.740 Okay, okay, so you know one, but most don't.
00:00:07.800 No, no, I know like a few.
00:00:09.360 There's a lot who have.
00:00:10.520 But like we said, marriage means shit.
00:00:12.540 So why was your first reaction one?
00:00:14.980 Oh, I know one.
00:00:16.200 Because most, okay, what do you, okay, I have a question.
00:00:18.700 Do the majority have husbands?
00:00:20.500 How do we know that?
00:00:21.340 Yes, no, okay, no, no, no.
00:00:23.320 Do the majority, guys will date a girl
00:00:25.540 for a couple years and bounce if she's hot.
00:00:27.360 No, a lot of people do it from like,
00:00:28.600 when they're like, you know, they've been like
00:00:30.280 from together since a young age
00:00:32.220 and then they'll both start it.
00:00:33.520 It's not like, you know, they'll do it together.
00:00:35.580 That's because they've got a kink.
00:00:36.540 Again, again, I just need you to answer yes or no.
00:00:39.720 Does it really matter if they're married?
00:00:41.560 Yes, does the majority, does the majority have husbands?
00:00:45.160 No.
00:00:46.000 Okay, there we go.
00:00:47.020 So why is it matter?
00:00:47.860 Correct, correct.
00:00:48.700 That's not relevant if she has a husband or not.
00:00:50.380 She's making a point about.
00:00:51.780 Why does marriage always matter?
00:00:52.840 She's probably making more money than any other
00:00:54.520 that goes on the couch.
00:00:55.680 It does.
00:00:56.520 Marriage matters because it's,
00:00:58.400 it's a stable relationship with two people
00:01:00.580 that respect each other.
00:01:01.420 No, because like, it doesn't matter if you're married.
00:01:03.140 It doesn't make you.
00:01:04.020 So you're saying her marriage doesn't matter?
00:01:05.800 Did I say that?
00:01:06.720 You just did.
00:01:07.560 Her husband's hot.
00:01:08.400 I said that if you're married.
00:01:09.400 Okay, okay.
00:01:10.240 Did I say, oh, your marriage doesn't matter?
00:01:11.400 No, I said if you're married.
00:01:13.160 Do you think, you don't think marriage matters?
00:01:15.920 Not now, no.
00:01:16.800 Like people get divorced, like.
00:01:18.360 She's 22.
00:01:19.200 She doesn't know any difference.
00:01:20.040 She's 22. Sorry, I apologize.
00:01:21.380 I'm 21, actually.
00:01:22.380 21. Sorry, I've over-aged you.
00:01:24.000 She's 21.
00:01:24.560 She doesn't know any difference.
00:01:25.340 She's too young.
00:01:26.120 It's because I've seen like so many people get divorced,
00:01:29.060 like marriages don't work now.
00:01:31.040 Like, I honestly, I see your point of view a little bit, right?
00:01:36.940 I understand that marriage isn't marriage anymore
00:01:39.260 because most people get divorced.
00:01:41.340 But we have to admit that getting a guy to marry you
00:01:44.860 is a far higher level of commitment than a guy dating you.
00:01:48.740 It's a flex.
00:01:49.580 Yeah.
00:01:50.420 And we can agree that a guy is more committed
00:01:52.760 when he's married, right?
00:01:54.200 Yes.
00:01:55.040 So the fact that the majority of-
00:01:56.040 I don't know if I agree with that either.
00:01:57.040 No, I don't agree with that either.
00:01:58.360 Okay, you don't think him putting you in a position
00:02:01.780 where you can take half his shit is more committed?
00:02:04.180 Yeah, but you can't-
00:02:05.020 I'm not saying it's good.
00:02:06.580 I don't really see it like that.
00:02:08.020 It's just from my experience, I'm not married.
00:02:10.360 I've had, and a lot of my friends are,
00:02:12.460 but they go through the motions where they date,
00:02:16.660 going out with something, it's steady.
00:02:18.420 And it's just like the next step to get engaged,
00:02:21.560 to get married.
00:02:22.700 Right.
00:02:23.540 It doesn't necessarily mean that they love you more
00:02:25.580 or committed, unfortunately,
00:02:27.140 sometimes they just sort of go through those steps.
00:02:29.420 She's trying to be different so bad.
00:02:30.580 It's like pissing me off.
00:02:31.820 Like, oh, it doesn't mean they really love you.
00:02:33.660 Like-
00:02:34.500 It doesn't.
00:02:35.340 No, I'm not saying that they don't.
00:02:36.300 I'm just saying from my experience, from my friendship
00:02:38.740 group, that it's, that's what's happened.
00:02:41.300 Well, what do you think, what do you think marriage is?
00:02:44.580 You don't think it's boring going through the motions?
00:02:48.140 Well, I'm not married.
00:02:49.020 I've just seen, unfortunately, with some friends,
00:02:51.780 it's worked out for them, and some it hasn't.
00:02:53.740 They go through the motions.
00:02:54.900 They're in a social group where, you know,
00:02:56.940 you get together, you're friends, and then, you know,
00:02:59.660 you're dating for a while.
00:03:00.900 And going through those steps, and then you get married.
00:03:03.340 And yeah, okay, it's a sign of them being more committed,
00:03:06.300 but I don't know necessarily if they're in love.
00:03:09.500 Okay, okay.
00:03:10.420 Do you think love is a choice or a feeling?
00:03:14.300 Both.
00:03:15.140 Um, that's tricky.
00:03:20.140 Uh, a choice, a choice.
00:03:24.660 Okay, so wouldn't, wouldn't they be choosing to love each other
00:03:27.820 if they're married?
00:03:28.700 Um, some.
00:03:30.700 I, I, it's, I don't know, yeah, they should be.
00:03:34.620 And you would agree.
00:03:35.460 But unfortunately, some in my friendship groups,
00:03:38.500 it hasn't worked out that way.
00:03:39.780 Okay, and you would agree that they're more committed.
00:03:41.620 They feel it under pressure.
00:03:42.740 Wouldn't, wouldn't you agree, wouldn't you agree that
00:03:45.420 they're more committed than the people that are not married?
00:03:49.380 Yes.
00:03:50.020 No, maybe on paper.
00:03:51.380 On paper.
00:03:52.300 Okay, would you agree the men are more committed?
00:03:54.380 No.
00:03:55.380 What? Because they're getting married.
00:03:56.380 Because they spent all this money on a wedding.
00:03:58.740 They spent all the money on a ring.
00:03:59.940 I think on paper, on the surface,
00:04:02.380 it looks like they're committed.
00:04:04.140 Behind the doors, in general.
00:04:06.220 They're cheating and doing all kinds of.
00:04:08.060 She's quite right.
00:04:08.580 Yeah, she's right.
00:04:09.940 No, I agree, most married, I've, I've, most married men
00:04:13.020 I've not personally come in contact just through friends
00:04:15.460 and that aren't faithful, which is kind of terrifying
00:04:18.140 for somebody who's me who wants to get married
00:04:19.580 and live that kind of normal, traditional 2.5 kids.
00:04:22.340 Are most women today faithful?
00:04:24.020 No.
00:04:26.060 It's complex.
00:04:26.900 No, again, it's, it's subjective.
00:04:29.140 Like men and women who are equal,
00:04:31.420 both will do equally as shit stuff
00:04:33.100 as the other person would do.
00:04:34.580 I just don't understand why being unfaithful is like this,
00:04:39.100 you know, people used to cheat and they'd work through it
00:04:42.620 and it didn't have to be the end of the world.
00:04:45.100 So I just don't understand why we're in this society
00:04:47.420 where we tell women that you're the absolute victim
00:04:50.460 if you get cheated on.
00:04:51.460 Because women think they can do that.
00:04:52.700 When most women, like they post ass pictures on Instagram,
00:04:56.380 they have open Instagram, they're talking,
00:04:58.460 they have male friends, they're talking to other guys
00:05:00.980 all the time.
00:05:01.820 Like, you know, yeah, go ahead.
00:05:03.860 What about like the women who don't do that stuff?
00:05:05.780 Like genuine, like conservative Christian woman
00:05:08.780 who don't act like that.
00:05:10.900 And their husband, like they're fully committed
00:05:12.820 to someone traditionally
00:05:14.380 and they're in like a conservative Christian marriage,
00:05:16.260 which is what I want in my life, right?
00:05:18.260 I don't act like that on the internet anymore.
00:05:20.460 And they cheat on me.
00:05:22.260 Then I don't have the right to get upset,
00:05:24.100 especially like under God and stuff.
00:05:25.540 Well, I, okay.
00:05:26.700 I think you have a right to get upset.
00:05:28.860 I didn't say anyone can't get upset, but my,
00:05:30.900 no, my, no, I'm not saying who cares.
00:05:33.020 I'm saying, I don't think it's the end of the world.
00:05:35.220 And I think it can be worked through.
00:05:37.020 And I personally know women that maybe their,
00:05:40.260 their husband cheated 20 years ago.
00:05:42.020 They worked through it.
00:05:42.700 They're happier than ever.
00:05:43.900 And I think all we ever hear in media is like,
00:05:46.300 it's the end of the world.
00:05:47.740 And we never talk about the part the woman played
00:05:50.540 because a lot of women like demasculate men so much
00:05:53.900 and they just criticize him so much that he just wants
00:05:56.220 to go somewhere and feel like a man.
00:05:58.740 And I'm talking like traditional.
00:06:00.180 So people, so no, no, no.
00:06:02.460 And I, and I, and I think it's very rare to find a wife
00:06:04.820 who's perfect.
00:06:06.100 I think nobody's perfect.
00:06:07.100 Correct.
00:06:07.940 And so that's my point.
00:06:09.100 It's like, let's make sure we're clean and perfect before
00:06:12.580 we break up and into perfect.
00:06:14.980 And that's my point.
00:06:16.060 Like we have to remember, it doesn't give him the right,
00:06:19.660 but I'm saying men are human and I, and I,
00:06:22.940 but they're not exactly the, they're not animals, right?
00:06:25.300 They're human.
00:06:26.140 I'm not saying they're animals, but I'm saying,
00:06:27.860 I think it's silly to tell women to leave every time
00:06:31.140 you get cheated on.
00:06:32.300 I agree with you.
00:06:33.540 I think again, it's a generational thing.
00:06:35.460 I agree with you.
00:06:36.540 Women now, again, are more inclined to go, okay,
00:06:40.260 I'm done with it because man's cheated me.
00:06:41.700 He's made me feel less than I am because there's a thousand men
00:06:45.500 who are trying to swipe into them, slide in their DMS.
00:06:47.820 Cause they have those options.
00:06:49.740 Whereas back in the day it was like, Oh no, no, it's my husband.
00:06:51.820 I'm going to work on it.
00:06:52.540 I think it's really sad that in society nowadays that women
00:06:55.460 think there's always something better.
00:06:57.460 Whereas you can just work on establishing that.
00:06:59.780 And I interview, like, I've heard stories of like moms
00:07:03.260 where the mom left because she got cheated on.
00:07:05.260 The dad gets remarried.
00:07:06.260 The mom's single.
00:07:07.020 Is she better off now?
00:07:08.300 No.
00:07:08.700 Is that a better life for her?
00:07:10.540 And I like, I'm not excusing it.
00:07:12.380 I'm not saying it's okay, but like we were supposed to be,
00:07:14.700 we were supposed to be virgins on our wedding days.
00:07:17.180 If you think of the emotional distress of the woman
00:07:19.580 that's going to have to stay with a man who's cheated on it.
00:07:21.420 You have to constantly day by day go think, who's he texting?
00:07:23.740 No, no, no, no.
00:07:24.500 But you choose to do that.
00:07:25.980 No, it's hard to get over it.
00:07:27.900 It is a choice.
00:07:29.020 Well, marriages, you're supposed to do hard things.
00:07:31.020 Women back in the day didn't have the choice.
00:07:33.020 That's the thing.
00:07:33.460 Whereas 2023 women do have the choice.
00:07:35.300 They have an option to do better than they have done,
00:07:37.460 to accept, to realize they expect and they deserve more.
00:07:41.140 Well, but you see, I let that deserve.
00:07:43.540 See, it's like.
00:07:44.180 Because women do deserve as men deserve.
00:07:46.020 Men deserve.
00:07:46.740 I don't think anyone deserves anything.
00:07:49.140 Everyone does.
00:07:49.700 I think if you commit, if you commit into a relationship
00:07:53.620 and you are married, one second,
00:07:55.460 if you commit to a relationship and you're married,
00:07:57.780 it's a contractual agreement that you have decided,
00:08:00.180 you and me, we're a team, that's it.
00:08:02.180 And if someone breaks that, I do think it's too easy nowadays.
00:08:06.180 Do you think women, we should break it?
00:08:09.460 Do you think men should break the marriage contract
00:08:11.620 because we're not coming in as virgins?
00:08:13.060 Should they not marry us?
00:08:14.020 But they choose to marry you knowing full fact
00:08:16.020 that that might not be the case, right?
00:08:17.540 So they already know that.
00:08:19.140 So that's done and dusted.
00:08:20.500 Let's get over it.
00:08:21.460 Now it's the guy, right?
00:08:23.220 Let's get over it.
00:08:24.020 Should men break the marriage contract
00:08:25.620 if a woman gets fat in a marriage?
00:08:28.740 Maybe.
00:08:29.300 Yes.
00:08:30.180 Wow.
00:08:30.820 I mean, it depends why she gets fat, right?
00:08:32.820 Why does it depend?
00:08:33.860 I don't know.
00:08:34.180 What if it's something he's done?
00:08:36.260 Does it depend why he cheated?
00:08:37.860 You never ask the guys.
00:08:39.620 I actually wanted to point this out.
00:08:40.820 So you said it depends on why she's getting fat.
00:08:43.300 So...
00:08:43.860 What if it's a medical thing?
00:08:45.220 That's my point.
00:08:45.780 But essentially, what you're trying to say is because
00:08:48.340 some of the reasons why women get fat
00:08:49.540 is actually because of their hormones sometimes.
00:08:51.300 I know that.
00:08:51.700 Could be.
00:08:52.340 Good.
00:08:52.580 So what you're essentially saying is in a marriage,
00:08:54.580 a man has to deal with a woman's hormones.
00:08:56.260 So for instance, when she's on a period,
00:08:58.100 we have to deal with all the bullshit that comes with that.
00:09:00.260 When she gets fat because of her hormones,
00:09:02.020 we have to deal with that.
00:09:03.060 But then you never think about the problems
00:09:05.620 that men face with our own hormones, which is testosterone.
00:09:08.660 That's true.
00:09:09.060 Yeah.
00:09:09.300 What have I got to do with being fat?
00:09:10.500 I actually hadn't finished what I was saying.
00:09:12.340 Go ahead, go ahead.
00:09:12.900 So if he does cheat or whatever, if he is sorry for cheating and he really is making an effort
00:09:21.780 to make it right, then I think you should probably try and make that work because you've already
00:09:26.900 made this, it's through thick and thin, good and bad, all that stuff.
00:09:30.260 But if he has said, okay, I cheated on you.
00:09:33.300 And now I want the, the, the, the woman I had an affair with to be my next girlfriend.
00:09:37.540 And I don't care about you.
00:09:38.660 Then what does the wife is food?
00:09:40.100 Well, it's, I think like, and again, you know, studies can say anything,
00:09:43.460 but the studies I've seen, it's like 50 to 70% of the time.
00:09:46.740 It's a one to two time thing.
00:09:48.820 Yeah.
00:09:49.060 So it's like knowing that the majority of, of cheating is a one-time thing.
00:09:53.460 I just think it's in our best interest to try to get through it.
00:09:56.820 And especially, I think it's tough for guys nowadays, because women walk around half naked.
00:10:01.540 You know, like men have so much testosterone.
00:10:03.540 I love being naked.
00:10:04.500 They should be able to, everyone should be able to, not naked, everyone keep your pants on.
00:10:09.540 I just went to Vegas and chicks had stickies on their boobs and they're walking around no top
00:10:14.900 or in a thong and just, you know.
00:10:16.980 That's how you naturally are.
00:10:18.180 Why not?
00:10:18.820 Well, I, I think that's hard for men.
00:10:21.060 Like men have all of this testosterone, you know, that's a very tough.
00:10:24.900 They actually don't care about testosterone.
00:10:27.140 So you say women should be able to walk around naked.
00:10:29.540 And in the same breath, you're saying men should be faithful to their wives.
00:10:32.660 But in the same breath, you're also saying that that same man that should be faithful to you
00:10:35.540 should be able to go out and accept the fact that every woman out there
00:10:38.260 should just be able to walk around naked.
00:10:39.780 If you go to a nudist beach, no one wants to have sex with any of them.
00:10:43.860 And they run around naked all day long.
00:10:45.700 Wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:46.580 I just need to repeat this.
00:10:47.540 You think that the men don't want to have sex at nudist beaches?
00:10:50.340 I mean, maybe one or two of them.
00:10:51.540 You don't think?
00:10:51.940 But they're all pretty like, I don't like seeing the naked people.
00:10:53.860 Okay, okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
00:10:55.700 I want you to just logically think through this.
00:10:57.700 You think that if the naked women went up to the men on the beach
00:11:02.260 and offered them sex, they would say no.
00:11:04.260 Have you seen them?
00:11:05.060 Some of them wear like sandals and socks.
00:11:06.900 I don't think they think about it.
00:11:08.900 I need a yes or a no.
00:11:10.900 I just don't think.
00:11:13.060 I think they're not in the mind frame.
00:11:14.420 No, no, I need a yes or a no.
00:11:16.180 They don't go around with their penises.
00:11:17.940 All right, I'm going to ask the question again.
00:11:19.700 I'm going to ask the question again.
00:11:20.900 I don't think so.
00:11:21.940 Do you think the majority of men, if a naked woman is in front of them and offering them.
00:11:26.900 You've changed the question, go to the nudist beach.
00:11:30.020 Okay, what is she on the nudist beach?
00:11:31.940 What is she?
00:11:33.060 Naked, on the nudist beach where everyone's naked.
00:11:35.700 I think no one cares.
00:11:36.580 Okay, okay, we're going to.
00:11:37.700 No, people do care.
00:11:38.820 How much of the population go to nudist beach?
00:11:40.660 You're actually talking about the niche type of people that go there.
00:11:43.140 Well, we started there.
00:11:45.620 I mean, it's quite a novel thing, right?
