Summary

Is dating someone younger than your ex a win or a loss? Is it better than dating your ex if he is more attractive than your current partner? Do you want to date a younger person if they are more attractive? Does age really matter when it comes to dating?


Transcript

00:00:00.000 Is dating a younger, more attractive man than your ex considered a win?
00:00:04.460 Why or why not?
00:00:07.320 Doesn't it depend on how he treats you and what person he is,
00:00:10.820 how he carries himself, whether he's holding doors open for you,
00:00:15.180 whether all those nice things that you like from a man to be treated like a woman,
00:00:21.400 is he doing those things?
00:00:23.160 Does age really matter?
00:00:24.600 Can I just say, if I was to date a younger guy than I was dating or I'm dating,
00:00:31.000 whatever the situation may be, I'd probably catch a case.
00:00:34.040 Yeah, you're young now.
00:00:35.400 You're at that.
00:00:37.160 It's crazy.
00:00:38.700 I've got a bit of leeway.
00:00:40.280 You've got no leeway.
00:00:41.380 What are you talking about?
00:00:42.780 The question's based on Tom Brady and Giselle.
00:00:47.440 Okay.
00:00:47.900 What's catch a case?
00:00:48.880 She was dating a 24-year-old.
00:00:50.580 What do you mean catch a case?
00:00:51.480 How old is she?
00:00:52.260 She's 40-something.
00:00:53.600 I mean, I don't know if I'd want to date a man that's that much younger
00:00:58.420 because it takes men a while.
00:01:01.600 They have to get some things out of their system before they settle down.
00:01:04.800 And, yeah, they mature a lot slower.
00:01:07.920 I don't know if I'd want to do that.
00:01:09.500 No, but then you've got to look at it as,
00:01:11.360 are you actually looking to have a,
00:01:12.640 are you, for this younger person,
00:01:14.120 you're actually looking to have a relationship?
00:01:15.800 I don't date without having a relationship.
00:01:18.560 I don't get involved with anyone unless I see a relationship potential.
00:01:22.160 I don't do that.
00:01:23.560 Sorry.
00:01:23.980 One thing that I would point out is women typically don't want younger men
00:01:28.420 and attractive is somewhat secondary.
00:01:31.640 I think for men, if they had a, you know,
00:01:35.220 a younger, more attractive new person than their ex,
00:01:38.960 then it would be a win for them
00:01:40.080 because that is kind of their dating metric.
00:01:41.860 That's what they look for.
00:01:43.420 Whereas with women, I would typically look for someone that's older,
00:01:46.460 like my partner's a little older than me,
00:01:48.640 and attraction, you know,
00:01:51.720 a lot of times women can replace that.
00:01:54.740 For example, you know, status or money.
00:01:58.100 Whereas with men, if you're not attractive,
00:01:59.580 they won't even give you the time of day.
00:02:01.160 So the question was kind of asked in reverse.
00:02:04.120 It wouldn't be, you know, a win for women,
00:02:06.260 but definitely for men.
00:02:07.300 I think that would be a win for women if the younger person was more mature.
00:02:18.220 Because sometimes you get a younger man who's more mature
00:02:20.920 than the older man you've left.
00:02:22.780 Is it rare?
00:02:23.740 It's rare though, isn't it?
00:02:25.500 I'm a rarity.
00:02:27.460 Yeah, but is the man rare?
00:02:29.660 I know you're a rarity, but...
00:02:31.440 No, sometimes, there's a lot of good young men out there.
00:02:33.660 No, but then if you're actively going out seeking a younger guy,
00:02:36.780 saying, oh yeah, this is going to make my husband thought shit,
00:02:40.160 like, I'm going to go with that,
00:02:41.640 he's going to be like, oh, he's probably more sexually active,
00:02:44.340 probably more good looking,
00:02:45.400 probably has better things coming for him.
00:02:47.000 I think that's kind of, that's kind of low-key tapped.
00:02:49.580 Like, high-key, in fact.
00:02:50.960 Like, if you're thinking about getting with someone
00:02:53.140 to degrade someone that you've been with before,
00:02:54.980 it kind of just shows your character.
00:02:56.380 And I don't think that's how we should be approaching it,
00:02:58.340 especially right now.
00:02:59.260 And as women, I don't think that's how we should approach it
00:03:01.300 before we get there with our stuff we don't want to.
00:03:02.720 I agree.
00:03:03.280 I think that's getting with someone for a different reason.
00:03:05.380 That's slag behavior.
00:03:06.480 Oh!
00:03:07.860 Antti, don't you think,
00:03:09.260 if it's like a 40-year-old woman and a 25-year-old man,
00:03:13.180 what future could there be,
00:03:15.280 no matter how nice of a young man he is?
00:03:17.380 She'll get good sex for about 10 years before he leaves her.
00:03:21.300 I'll be up for that.
00:03:24.000 What can I...
00:03:24.440 Clark, then we went to the next one.
00:03:26.620 But no, I mean...
00:03:28.240 Okay.
00:03:30.300 Jill, would you say that's a win, then, for her?
00:03:31.960 Oh, it's a win for her.
00:03:33.280 Good on her.
00:03:36.020 That's what I was saying.
00:03:38.980 They talk about equality, innit?
00:03:40.800 And that younger man, well, good on him.
00:03:43.300 He's out there with an older woman who's got a bit of dosh.
00:03:45.380 Why not?
00:03:46.540 I think some men like older women.
00:03:50.180 And I don't know whether it's mummy issues,
00:03:51.760 but I feel like they like to be mothered.
00:03:53.280 And I think older women tend to wrap them up and look after them in that sense.
00:04:00.700 No, I just think that older women knows how to look after a man rather than young people nowadays.
00:04:05.440 So what you might see as mothering might be just a traditional woman looking after a man.
00:04:09.700 And that's what it is.
00:04:10.900 Because if you get an older woman there,
00:04:12.600 and she decides to go and give her man dinner,
00:04:15.860 go and cook dinner and put it on the tray,
00:04:17.340 you'll be like,
00:04:17.840 see what I mean?
00:04:19.640 And you might think,
00:04:20.380 oh, she's mothering him.
00:04:21.240 But that's what women do.
00:04:22.780 Well, and younger guys,
00:04:24.360 like the guys that I know that will go for older women,
00:04:27.180 it's typically because they want casual sex.
00:04:29.200 And they just think it's easier to get it from them.
00:04:31.340 Yeah, that's what I said.
00:04:32.120 Good sex for 10 years.
00:04:33.120 Yeah, you're right.
00:04:34.120 That's what I love.
00:04:34.740 And if it lasts longer,
00:04:38.540 that's a bonus.
00:04:41.580 Would you guys ever date someone for a long period of time,
00:04:44.180 knowing there's no long-term future?
00:04:47.960 What being a situationship, basically?
00:04:51.300 No.
00:04:51.940 No.
00:04:52.420 Absolutely not.
00:04:53.300 Waste of time.
00:04:54.060 You're wasting your youth.
00:04:55.380 No.
00:04:55.940 I'd do it.
00:04:56.560 I'd do it.
00:04:57.760 I'd do it.
00:04:58.660 If I didn't have nightly bed to do it, I'd do it.
00:05:00.240 Don't you think you may be passing past,
00:05:02.480 like someone who's right for you,
00:05:04.140 you may miss them whilst wasting your time on someone else.
00:05:06.800 If you miss them, it's like a bus, isn't it?
00:05:08.400 Catch them again.
00:05:09.240 Why?
00:05:09.540 I said, if you miss them.
00:05:10.520 No, she was saying that.
00:05:11.820 I'd rather.
00:05:12.380 Next one comes along.
00:05:13.320 Yeah, because, I'm sorry,
00:05:14.740 but if you're with someone and you just think,
00:05:16.420 you know what?
00:05:17.140 I mean, just thinking realistically,
00:05:19.160 you either don't have anyone and let time fast you by,
00:05:23.000 and then all yous are out there with all your roses
00:05:25.540 and your lips and whatever,
00:05:26.880 or you find a young man and you just think,
00:05:29.480 you know what?
00:05:29.840 I've got you for five years,
00:05:30.920 or I've got a man for five years,
00:05:32.180 and you just enjoy yourself.
00:05:33.000 You're not looking for nothing else.
00:05:34.600 You might be a busy businesswoman
00:05:36.440 that don't want a relationship,
00:05:38.160 and you might have come to an agreement with someone.
00:05:40.280 Do you know what?
00:05:40.720 We're just going to see each other,
00:05:42.880 but we've got five, ten years to waste.
00:05:45.500 I personally think that only work for a short period of time.
00:05:48.080 You can only be so uncertain for a short period of time,
00:05:50.520 and that initially happens at the beginning.
00:05:52.180 Maybe like, give it three, four months,
00:05:54.060 you'll probably start liking them
00:05:55.240 and being like, yeah, I want to get into a relationship,
00:05:56.560 but then they're going to use the fact
00:05:57.960 that you went into a relationship
00:05:58.980 without no intention of getting together in the future
00:06:01.260 to basically go, yeah, nah, I'm not really getting into one.
00:06:04.600 That's one of the main mistakes that women make.
00:06:06.620 That is.
00:06:07.320 So I think that only works for a short period of time.
00:06:09.300 You can only be uncertain for a very short period of time.
00:06:12.000 Sooner or later, you will end up liking the person,
00:06:14.080 believe it or not.
00:06:14.660 How soon will you guys have that conversation
00:06:16.800 of where something is going?
00:06:20.540 Is that something you guys do on the first date,
00:06:22.740 third date, a month in?
00:06:24.980 Depends who they are.
00:06:27.220 Does it not depend on before you even get to that point,
00:06:30.800 knowing where you're actually at
00:06:32.300 in terms of wanting a relationship or not?
00:06:35.420 Well, I'm saying if you want to be in something long-term
00:06:38.620 and you meet a guy and go on a date with him,
00:06:41.540 how long until you ask him where it's going?
00:06:43.140 For me personally, it would be before we become intimate
00:06:47.740 or like I shed that kind of energy.
00:06:51.680 Can I just say something before you become intimate?
00:06:54.480 So how many dates are you going to go on
00:06:55.480 before you become intimate?
00:06:56.940 I'm just thinking about the guy could be taking you out
00:06:58.800 like four or five times
00:06:59.900 and then you're going to turn around and say,
00:07:01.540 nah, I'll be vexed if I was a man.
00:07:03.780 I'm taking you out on five dates
00:07:05.320 and you're going to turn me out getting that and four.
00:07:06.800 I'm going to be vexed.
00:07:07.880 Let's be honest.
00:07:08.440 I'm going to be vexed.
00:07:09.520 Damn, auntie, you're really dating.
00:07:11.560 You're going to get active on the bed.
00:07:13.860 No, it's true.
00:07:15.220 Because you've got,
00:07:16.100 all right, then think about it from a man's point of view.
00:07:17.620 You like this girl
00:07:18.360 and you're talking,
00:07:19.760 you're going to take her out on these dates
00:07:21.380 and then after the fifth date,
00:07:22.920 she's going to be like,
00:07:23.560 you know what,
00:07:24.560 I can't really see a future.
00:07:26.160 I'll be like, give my money back.
00:07:27.700 You know what I mean?
00:07:28.320 I'm wasting my money on you.
00:07:29.580 Give my money back.
00:07:30.540 I think it should be done like from day one.
00:07:32.860 From the time you started talking like,
00:07:34.180 yeah, what's your name?
00:07:35.200 And I'm dating with intention.
00:07:36.580 You either like me or you don't like me,
00:07:37.720 move on.
00:07:38.640 But to go on dates
00:07:39.580 and then turn around and say,
00:07:41.820 he should keep all the receipts
00:07:43.820 and ask his money back,
00:07:44.760 or at least 50%.
00:07:45.960 But for someone to say that
00:07:47.080 you really must not have liked the dates like that,
00:07:48.860 you're probably just focusing on trying to get
00:07:50.480 a different type of intimacy with a person.
00:07:53.020 No, the question was,
00:07:54.320 how long would it be before,
00:07:55.900 like if you're going to get serious with someone?
00:07:58.240 So to go on dates,
00:07:59.460 she's asking when.
00:08:00.560 Now I remember I said to someone
00:08:01.780 that when you meet someone,
00:08:02.900 they want to take you out,
00:08:03.740 and say,
00:08:04.180 you know,
00:08:04.820 what are your intentions towards me?
00:08:06.140 I'm dating with the intention
00:08:07.480 before you even go out on a date.
00:08:09.380 From the time you're going out on a date,
00:08:11.200 you're giving him false hope.
00:08:13.460 You're giving the man false hope.
00:08:14.660 From the time you said,
00:08:15.320 yes,
00:08:15.480 I'm going to go on a date,
00:08:16.220 you think,
00:08:16.480 yeah,
00:08:16.720 I'm in there.
00:08:17.480 And then the next date,
00:08:18.320 yeah,
00:08:18.540 I'm in there.
00:08:19.100 I'm getting close on clock.
00:08:20.040 Then you're going to,
00:08:20.340 nah,
00:08:20.620 you're not my type.
00:08:21.460 After four or five dates.
00:08:22.520 Actually,
00:08:22.720 to be fair,
00:08:23.120 I hear you.
00:08:23.780 I actually do hear you.
00:08:24.580 I think that's what I was trying to say before.
00:08:26.240 I think it's before knowing,
00:08:27.460 before you get to that point,
00:08:28.480 what you want going into whether you're going to have a date
00:08:32.540 or going into a relationship.
00:08:33.900 I think.
00:08:34.720 Women know.
00:08:35.380 You can just look at a man and see,
00:08:36.520 you know,
00:08:37.020 even before you go on a date,
00:08:38.080 you know.
00:08:38.500 So when you go on a date,
00:08:39.300 you already know.
00:08:40.240 You can tell by the first date that you don't like him.
00:08:42.940 I mean,
00:08:43.420 I kind of,
00:08:44.860 maybe the phone call.
00:08:47.280 I think you get that connection and it is about that energy.
00:08:51.240 And I think we do feel that and we do know prior to going forth with anything else.
00:08:58.160 So I do think those that say,
00:09:00.200 I just want to see and wait and see how it goes on.
00:09:02.280 I think deep down,
00:09:03.180 we truly know before we even go to that point.
00:09:05.240 They just hedge your bets.
00:09:06.180 They just say,
00:09:06.640 you know what?
00:09:06.900 I'm going to go on dates with him because something better might come along.
00:09:10.560 But sometimes you can know someone's not right,
00:09:12.980 but you're highly attracted to them.
00:09:14.680 So you keep going back.
00:09:17.680 And there were those that are called toxic nowadays.
00:09:19.980 To do what?
00:09:20.340 Toxic.
00:09:20.900 To do what?
00:09:21.260 You go back to meet up.
00:09:22.540 You know,
00:09:22.780 some people,
00:09:23.580 well,
00:09:23.840 there's a lot of people that sleep around.
00:09:25.260 They know that it's not going to go in purpose.
00:09:26.680 Or like a friends with benefits.
00:09:29.560 I feel like if you get into a situation where you're basically,
00:09:32.240 say you're friends with benefits,
00:09:33.060 you've kind of already established what is going on in the relationship.
00:09:35.340 Right.
00:09:36.640 But I feel like if you're,
00:09:39.960 before you even go on a date,
00:09:41.300 personally,
00:09:41.840 I'd speak to the person first,
00:09:43.520 probably like,
00:09:44.320 give it like a week,
00:09:45.280 give it like a week or two.
00:09:46.500 You'd know if you even want to go on the date.
00:09:48.420 That's the thing.
00:09:49.140 But for you to go on five dates and be like,
00:09:51.320 yeah,
00:09:51.480 I'm not,
00:09:51.840 I'm not.
00:09:52.700 Yeah.
00:09:53.020 I can see that.
00:09:54.780 If I'm being honest,
00:09:55.660 a man has to make my fanny flower.
00:09:57.820 If you're not making my fanny flower,
00:10:00.120 then I feel like there's nowhere to go.
00:10:02.500 Like there has to be that sexual chemistry as well as that energy and that connection.
00:10:07.840 I think it has to be there.
00:10:08.920 I think it is important.
00:10:10.200 Yeah.
00:10:10.360 But don't forget about it.
00:10:11.840 Like your fanny can flutter at the beginning.
00:10:14.580 Do you know what I mean?
00:10:15.600 And then it's like,
00:10:16.800 all of a sudden it just stops.
00:10:24.400 And that's how women know.
00:10:25.460 Because the man will still be going in there that year,
00:10:27.240 we're having sex.
00:10:27.800 And we'll be like,
00:10:28.260 you know what,
00:10:28.580 I'm dead below the waist for you.
00:10:30.220 Do you know what I mean?
00:10:30.620 And then you're just going to build up how to dump him.
00:10:33.320 Don't,
00:10:33.640 aren't you?
00:10:34.140 How many guys have you got to?
00:10:34.360 So don't follow your fanny.
00:10:37.180 No,
00:10:37.580 I'm saying don't follow your fanny,
00:10:39.080 but I have to have that fanny flutter with somebody that I'm going to be looking.
00:10:43.420 I think that's important part of,
00:10:45.540 if I hit,
00:10:46.360 that's got to be in my shopping basket,
00:10:48.320 but being able to,
00:10:49.260 that physical attraction,
00:10:50.200 that sexual attraction with a man,
00:10:51.580 as well as being able to have that intellectual conversation and have that fun factor as well.
00:10:58.640 I think there's a lot of.
00:11:00.120 So what's not in the shopping bag?
00:11:01.900 What are you willing to give up?
00:11:02.920 Cause,
00:11:04.500 cause if he's a good looking guy that makes your like fanny flutter,
00:11:07.800 a lot of women are going to want him.
00:11:09.380 Can I say what I want in my basket and then everything else can't be in my basket?
00:11:13.900 Okay,
00:11:14.040 go ahead.
00:11:14.480 Go ahead.
00:11:14.900 Um,
00:11:15.460 I think honesty is important.
00:11:17.300 I think communication is key.
00:11:20.060 Um,
00:11:21.180 I think I'm at a point in my life now where I need consistency,
00:11:26.220 um,
00:11:27.260 to feel safe and secure.
00:11:28.940 And obviously that physical attraction,
00:11:31.120 have fun.
00:11:31.660 What I don't want is somebody dictating to me,
00:11:35.240 telling me what I can and can't do.
00:11:37.320 Um,
00:11:37.860 abusive,
00:11:38.700 whichever way,
00:11:39.600 shape or form that may look.
00:11:41.280 Um,
00:11:42.580 so yeah,
00:11:43.260 I think.
00:11:43.460 That's a shopping trolley.
00:11:44.640 They're not even a basket.
00:11:46.380 She's gone for having nothing in the basket.
00:11:48.420 They're the things that I would get rid of.
00:11:51.460 But yeah,
00:11:51.960 so I think,
00:11:52.820 you know,
00:11:54.040 that's,
00:11:54.420 that's me.
00:11:54.980 What about you guys?
00:11:58.680 What would you guys want in a guy?
00:11:59.780 I have everything I want now.
00:12:03.080 Aww.
00:12:04.940 Shout out to my boyfriend.
00:12:06.660 Not to me cringe,
00:12:07.780 but I can't be like,
00:12:08.400 well,
00:12:08.540 I want this because that implies I don't have it.
00:12:10.240 No.
00:12:11.000 Um,
00:12:11.300 he looks after me.
00:12:12.460 He leaves me.
00:12:13.700 He does everything I need.
00:12:15.000 Mm-hmm.
00:12:15.660 Thankfully.
00:12:16.420 Is he more than five years older than you?
00:12:19.000 Uh,
00:12:19.200 yeah.
00:12:19.560 Well,
00:12:19.660 he's five years older than me.
00:12:21.000 See,
00:12:21.200 that was a good guess.
00:12:21.880 What would I want?
00:12:27.340 Um,
00:12:28.320 you know,
00:12:28.820 I used to be big on saying,
00:12:30.360 I want communication.
00:12:32.180 Anybody that asked me what I wanted,
00:12:34.100 I'd always be like,
00:12:35.300 I'm the best communicator in the world.
00:12:36.720 I need someone to communicate just as well as me.
00:12:39.620 But you realize that communication comes in different forms
00:12:41.920 and it's always not going to be compatible with you.
00:12:43.600 So even when someone is,
00:12:44.660 you'd think they wouldn't be.
00:12:45.540 You're asking a man to be a woman.
00:12:49.020 Asking,
00:12:49.620 telling me to tell me what you want.
00:12:50.940 It's not asking you to be a woman.
00:12:52.280 I'm just telling you so that you don't get upset
00:12:53.820 if I don't do the stuff you want me to do.
00:12:55.540 How many men have told you to shut up and be quiet?
00:12:58.820 Nobody.
00:12:59.360 And I hope no one.
00:13:00.820 Okay.
00:13:01.320 Yeah.
00:13:01.720 You're lucky.
00:13:02.900 Yeah,
00:13:03.220 I am.
00:13:03.800 But a lot of the time,
00:13:04.660 I'm not going to stand someone listening to shut up.
00:13:06.960 But a lot of the time,
00:13:07.940 if men tell us what they really want,
00:13:10.360 we leave.
00:13:11.300 Because it's usually,
00:13:11.880 we have sex with multiple people
00:13:13.460 and you stay for one of us.
00:13:15.360 So when we get told that,
00:13:17.240 that's their form of honest communication
00:13:18.900 and we're just like,
00:13:20.200 all right,
00:13:20.780 I'm going.
00:13:21.920 That's probably why they're not honest with us.
00:13:24.400 Probably.
00:13:24.960 So she wants a good communicator.
00:13:26.500 She's got a shop in Charlie.
00:13:27.660 I want to find out what everybody else wants.
00:13:29.820 Okay,
00:13:30.220 so good communicator.
00:13:31.220 What else?
00:13:32.620 Someone that I find attractive.
00:13:36.340 Okay.
00:13:36.860 Is there a height requirement for that?
00:13:39.160 You're not that tall,
00:13:39.920 I don't think.
00:13:41.040 Why are you calling me out like that?
00:13:41.860 No,
00:13:42.020 I'm 5'3".
00:13:42.660 No,
00:13:44.060 I don't have a height requirement.
00:13:45.200 You can be as tall as you like.
00:13:46.940 5 foot?
00:13:48.440 5 foot?
00:13:48.960 I don't think I'd go for someone that's shorter than me.
00:13:50.940 So there's a height requirement.
00:13:52.240 Yeah,
00:13:52.640 just not shorter than me.
00:13:53.780 Sorry,
00:13:54.060 yes,
00:13:54.380 no.
00:13:55.080 Height requirement,
00:13:55.940 but just someone that's not shorter than me.
00:13:57.480 Okay,
00:13:57.740 just because I feel like I'd be more attracted to someone that was taller than me
00:14:00.300 than shorter than me.
00:14:01.020 Same height is good?
00:14:02.260 Same height,
00:14:03.000 yeah,
00:14:03.540 it can be all right.
00:14:04.420 We can try and make it work.
00:14:05.360 Or like 5'5",
00:14:06.240 at least.
00:14:06.820 Yeah,
00:14:07.040 yeah.
00:14:07.300 Okay,
00:14:07.620 okay,
00:14:07.960 go ahead.
00:14:08.840 So tall,
00:14:09.840 good,
00:14:10.140 5'5 and up,
00:14:11.180 and good communicator.
00:14:12.340 Yeah,
00:14:12.640 someone that's,
00:14:13.480 that's so funny,
00:14:14.460 sorry,
00:14:14.700 someone that I'd prefer,
00:14:17.040 if I was to look for anybody,
00:14:19.200 and I've,
00:14:19.680 from the first time,
00:14:20.400 I even stepped my foot into this dating world.
00:14:24.100 Someone that's been in a previous relationship,
00:14:28.660 but,
00:14:29.560 however,
00:14:30.260 I don't mean it in a way where like,
00:14:31.720 you're still talking to them,
00:14:33.120 but I mean it in a way where like,
00:14:34.720 you know what is required in a relationship,
00:14:37.540 you know how to go about someone,
00:14:38.760 a significant other,
00:14:39.980 and how to talk to them,
00:14:41.320 how to look after them,
00:14:42.700 and I think,
00:14:43.420 yeah,
00:14:43.720 so I think that's kind of important to me.
00:14:45.760 Not,
00:14:46.080 not a deal breaker,
00:14:47.020 but I would prefer that.
00:14:47.740 Okay,
00:14:47.940 so 5'5 and taller,
00:14:49.820 has been in a relationship,
00:14:51.240 good communicator,
00:14:52.020 anything else?
00:14:55.080 Maybe something I'm not allowed to say on camera,
00:14:57.580 but I'm joking.
00:14:59.280 I'm joking,
00:14:59.960 I'm joking.
00:15:00.700 But yeah,
00:15:01.080 that's all I got for at the top of my head though.
00:15:02.900 Okay,
00:15:03.540 what about you?
00:15:04.640 So,
00:15:05.100 I would say,
00:15:05.960 I'd like someone to be honest,
00:15:08.560 and if,
00:15:09.120 even if that is brutally honest,
00:15:10.360 I prefer that.
00:15:13.540 Someone that is considerate,
00:15:16.460 someone that I'm attracted to,
00:15:18.140 first of all,
00:15:19.480 that's my number one,
00:15:20.840 and then the rest kind of follows.
00:15:22.160 I'm a bit more like,
00:15:23.500 I don't mind relaxing some of my wants,
00:15:28.120 if the person is a decent person,
00:15:31.260 if he's got drive,
00:15:33.220 if he likes to enjoy life,
00:15:36.080 if he sees fun in being alive,
00:15:40.080 appreciates being alive,
00:15:41.320 that's,
00:15:42.500 things can change.
00:15:43.900 I'm not so black and white on things.
00:15:46.780 It's like,
00:15:47.080 I've dated,
00:15:48.540 okay,
00:15:48.860 I was young,
00:15:49.560 but I've dated someone
00:15:50.500 that was shorter than me before.
00:15:54.920 Actually,
00:15:55.440 I only have,
00:15:56.220 I've only had two relationships,
00:15:58.100 and both weren't tall.
00:16:00.120 So it's not like I'm looking for,
00:16:01.240 Did you break up with them,
00:16:02.180 or did they break up with you?
00:16:03.940 They both broke up with me.
00:16:05.480 Okay.
00:16:08.340 So what else,
00:16:09.260 anything else?
00:16:10.180 But obviously,
00:16:10.700 like I said earlier,
00:16:12.000 they come back,
00:16:15.820 when they realize the grass isn't greener.
00:16:20.060 But yeah.
00:16:21.400 Would you take them back,
00:16:22.380 if someone,
00:16:22.900 if they came back?
00:16:23.960 Well,
00:16:24.180 I did with one particular one.
00:16:26.180 Not anymore though.
00:16:27.480 That option's not even there anyway.
00:16:29.360 But not anymore.
00:16:31.100 Can I ask why they broke up with you?
00:16:34.480 Is it you,
00:16:35.280 or is it them?
00:16:37.920 I would say,
00:16:39.400 it could be,
00:16:41.020 so the first person,
00:16:42.700 wanted,
00:16:43.020 like I said earlier,
00:16:43.760 wanted to have fun.
00:16:45.200 Went off,
00:16:46.320 thought he could come back.
00:16:48.360 And I didn't let him come back,
00:16:49.840 and that really upset him.
00:16:53.700 Second person,
00:16:54.560 he did keep coming back,
00:16:55.860 to be honest.
00:16:56.820 It's a long story.
00:16:57.960 We were dating since like,
00:16:59.480 I was 14.
00:17:02.120 14 to 18,
00:17:03.480 broke up,
00:17:04.760 dated the other guy,
00:17:06.780 and then got back with him after.
00:17:08.860 And we were dating for,
00:17:10.540 about 12 years,
00:17:12.780 with maybe a year gap in between them.
00:17:14.820 Wow,
00:17:15.060 you're with him for 12 years?
00:17:16.220 Yeah,
00:17:17.040 we've like a,
00:17:17.900 well,
00:17:18.340 13 years with a year gap in between.
00:17:20.420 Wow.
00:17:21.460 Why didn't y'all get married?
00:17:23.300 That was the idea.
00:17:24.460 Yeah,
00:17:25.100 that was the idea.
00:17:26.300 It's longer than most marriages.
00:17:28.080 Yeah,
00:17:28.440 it was the idea.
00:17:29.040 We lived as,
00:17:30.020 you know,
00:17:30.400 as you would.
00:17:31.800 But,
00:17:32.180 you know,
00:17:32.560 things change,
00:17:33.720 people change.
00:17:34.520 And I think sometimes,
00:17:36.900 when someone's in an environment,
00:17:39.380 where they're with a lot of younger people,
00:17:41.800 they can change what they want.
00:17:43.400 So initially,
00:17:44.100 when we first dated,
00:17:46.560 he would,
00:17:47.560 he still would hold all the doors and everything.
00:17:49.200 He's very gentlemanly,
00:17:50.420 and he's a very nice person.
00:17:52.560 But he,
00:17:53.480 he would not like it,
00:17:55.680 if I attempted to pay for something.
00:17:57.660 He had to pay for things.
00:17:58.940 It's like,
00:17:59.560 he learned to drive because he didn't like me driving him around.
00:18:02.740 He was saying,
00:18:03.300 That sounds amazing.
00:18:04.240 He was like,
00:18:04.740 I don't feel manly.
00:18:06.560 Yeah.
00:18:06.940 Yeah.
00:18:07.680 But at the end,
00:18:08.820 when we broke up,
00:18:09.480 one of the reasons he gave is because I don't pay,
00:18:12.280 take him out on dates and pay for things.
00:18:14.440 But he's in an environment where he hangs around with younger people.
00:18:17.160 And I think he may have got a bit messed up along the way.
00:18:22.200 He had it right in the beginning.
00:18:23.660 You know,
00:18:24.120 he was very traditional.
00:18:25.720 And I like that about him.
00:18:26.960 He was a good person.
00:18:27.900 He treated his mom.
00:18:28.420 That's another thing.
00:18:29.500 They have to treat their mom well.
00:18:31.400 And I think that that speaks volumes.
00:18:35.280 Yeah.
00:18:36.060 Times change.
00:18:37.040 People grow out of each other.
00:18:39.880 So he,
00:18:41.280 because this just doesn't make sense.
00:18:43.140 So he hung around younger people.
00:18:44.620 And then he was managing.
00:18:45.520 So he's a musician.
00:18:47.720 Okay.
00:18:48.420 And I think when other people say,
00:18:50.440 Oh,
00:18:50.580 my girlfriend bought me this,
00:18:51.940 my girlfriend done this and took me this place.
00:18:54.300 And then it made him think,
00:18:56.000 Oh,
00:18:56.260 why isn't she doing that?
00:18:57.360 But he would have been angry if I'd done that originally.
00:19:01.020 Do you think there was other ways?
00:19:02.400 Maybe you could have done something that wasn't money that he would have appreciated.
00:19:05.780 Oh,
00:19:05.920 yeah,
00:19:06.060 I did.
00:19:06.780 Yeah,
00:19:07.040 I did.
00:19:07.420 And he just didn't take that into account.
00:19:08.900 No.
00:19:11.440 Maybe not.
00:19:12.240 Obviously not.
00:19:13.060 Yeah.
00:19:13.440 That sounds like he was doing stuff.
00:19:15.780 Not more so to have the authority,
00:19:18.600 not in a bad way,
00:19:19.840 but to have the authority be like,
00:19:21.480 yeah,
00:19:21.620 I can look after you,
00:19:23.060 but kind of just dismiss the fact that he wanted to be the author too.
00:19:26.060 So maybe that's why he came back and went,
00:19:27.980 cool.
00:19:28.180 Like you don't look after me,
00:19:29.820 but like for him,
00:19:30.760 his only,
00:19:31.580 like his only intention was to look after you.
00:19:34.360 Well,
00:19:34.460 I don't think,
00:19:34.980 I don't know me based on what I'm hearing.
00:19:37.100 That's what it sounds like.
00:19:38.520 But yeah.
00:19:40.040 Based on what I'm hearing,
00:19:41.020 he got easily influenced by his peers.
00:19:43.800 And that's what it was.
00:19:45.380 He spent more time with his younger peers,
00:19:47.220 listening to them.
00:19:48.400 And sometimes it became hard.
00:19:49.700 Peer pressure can come at any age.
00:19:51.540 Yeah.
00:19:52.060 I think so.
00:19:52.680 Especially as youths that were together so young.
00:19:54.740 And he was so,
00:19:55.500 it seems like he was mature when he was young.
00:19:59.160 And then he spent most of his youth being mature.
00:20:01.600 And then when he had the chance to be young again,
00:20:04.500 and be a teenager,
00:20:05.460 because he's lost all his teenage years,
00:20:07.140 he just went for it because he was surrounded by that.
00:20:09.440 I think if he wasn't a musician,
00:20:10.540 it would have been different.
00:20:11.640 But being a musician,
00:20:13.080 that's hard.
00:20:14.420 Yeah.
00:20:14.960 I made him be a musician as well.
00:20:17.960 Oh, right.
00:20:19.060 I was like, do it.
00:20:20.480 Follow your, yeah, do it.
00:20:21.680 It's fine.
00:20:22.280 I can, you know,
00:20:23.280 take care of things for a little while.
00:20:25.880 That's such a long relationship.
00:20:27.380 It just sounds like such a,
00:20:29.400 it's seemingly smaller thing that,
00:20:32.040 and such a long relationship.
00:20:33.060 Oh, no, there was many,
00:20:33.880 there was many things,
00:20:35.080 there was many things that he'd done at the end
00:20:37.260 that were not good.
00:20:38.240 But I don't really want,
00:20:38.960 he's a good person.
00:20:40.080 I've got nothing bad to say about him,
00:20:41.420 but he'd act, he behaved badly for a little while.
00:20:44.700 For like six months of our relationship.
00:20:47.540 He behaved very badly.
00:20:49.220 And then he's now back to being normal and everything,
00:20:52.260 you know, fine.
00:20:53.940 But he, yeah, he was a different person.
00:20:55.580 I've got fingers crossed for you.
00:20:56.780 Yeah, no, no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
00:20:58.940 I'm rooting for it a little bit.
00:20:59.860 No, hell no, absolutely not.
00:21:02.020 He went mature.
00:21:03.220 No, no.
00:21:04.300 How old is he now?
00:21:06.140 He's 40.
00:21:06.620 When he, so it was, when he was turning.
00:21:09.420 Is he with anyone?
00:21:10.540 I don't know.
00:21:11.100 He would, I don't think he would ever tell me.
00:21:12.660 That's the thing.
00:21:13.460 I don't think he would.
00:21:14.220 You didn't creep?
00:21:16.060 No.
00:21:16.620 You didn't pick his page?
00:21:18.300 No, I haven't recently.
00:21:19.460 Obviously when we first broke up,
00:21:21.460 I looked.
00:21:22.140 Would it make you feel.
00:21:22.820 We're still on,
00:21:23.560 we're still friends on everything.
00:21:24.620 We haven't done that.
00:21:26.780 Would it make you feel a type of way
00:21:27.860 if he told you he was talking to someone else right now?
00:21:29.620 No, not at all.
00:21:30.500 I'm completely healed.
00:21:31.540 Like literally when he moved out,
00:21:34.220 I came to terms with it pretty quick.
00:21:36.520 And I am one of those people
00:21:38.660 that take things as a lesson
00:21:39.900 and I move on from it.
00:21:41.800 So I'm like, I could see,
00:21:43.600 so he's done some really bad things at the end,
00:21:45.240 but he's a good person
00:21:46.700 and I can see the part I played in that.
00:21:49.200 So I can see how my behavior
00:21:51.260 made him behave that way.
00:21:52.580 So I think, you know,
00:21:55.220 sometimes it can be easy
00:21:56.540 to stop doing the things
00:21:59.200 that you do for each other
00:22:00.200 and not keeping things alive, you know.
00:22:03.620 And I'm not saying in the bedroom.
00:22:05.460 I'm saying in general, day to day.
00:22:09.700 Yeah.
00:22:10.400 So I just think that good people,
00:22:13.460 bad situation,
00:22:15.040 things went upside down
00:22:16.380 and that's fine.
00:22:17.340 And actually,
00:22:18.560 I think I had my best year of my life
00:22:20.820 since we split up funny enough,
00:22:23.340 not because he's a bad person.
00:22:25.180 It's just because I can be me.
00:22:27.540 I can do what I want to do.
00:22:28.520 I don't have to consider
00:22:29.660 a partner's feelings for a little while.
00:22:33.100 I'm not the type of person
00:22:34.380 to just move from person to person.
00:22:38.320 I'm just good being me for a little while.
00:22:40.680 I'm still kind of rooting for it.
00:22:42.140 No, no, no, no, don't, don't, no.
00:22:44.200 Okay.
