00:00:00.000 So I have a question.
00:00:00.660 You said you're bisexual.
00:00:01.940 Indeed.
00:00:02.480 All right.
00:00:02.760 Can I ask you questions?
00:00:04.040 Go for it.
00:00:04.840 They always say that a guy can't be bisexual, that he's only gay.
00:00:09.200 Have you heard that before?
00:00:10.700 Never heard that.
00:00:11.600 And I'm guessing, and I'll tell you this, the women I've been with wouldn't say that either.
00:00:15.920 They wouldn't say.
00:00:16.540 Does it, like, put off girls at all?
00:00:19.060 Yeah.
00:00:19.380 So men find it a turn on.
00:00:22.040 Women are, like, intrigued because they're like, oh, they asked the question to me again.
00:00:27.660 They go, are you sure you're bisexual?
00:00:29.380 I'm like, I'm definitely sure.
00:00:31.860 Tell me about the differences between dating men and dating women.
00:00:35.360 Men are liars and men will tell you what they want to tell you to.
00:00:39.460 Men are, men will tell you what they want to tell you, which most of the time is just to get into a situation,
00:00:49.100 whether it's bed or whether it's a date or whatever.
00:00:51.280 Do men have to lie to other men to get sex?
00:00:53.500 I feel like they do.
00:00:54.920 I feel like they do.
00:00:56.020 I feel like they do.
00:00:56.800 With a woman, you know where you stand.
00:00:59.680 Like, if you've done something wrong, they let you know.
00:01:02.540 They don't need to say anything.
00:01:04.460 Their body language, their expression, the way they carry themselves, like, you know you've messed up.
00:01:09.200 With a guy, like, they'll try and, like, play it off.
00:01:13.840 So, like, for me, yeah, I'm still trying to, like, figure the whole thing out.
00:01:21.700 I mean, like, I know I was bi since I was eight, and I've been, like, dating guys or whatever the last four or five years,
00:01:27.660 but the majority of my life has been with females.
00:01:29.320 So I understand females to a T.
00:01:31.560 To a guy, I'm just like, sometimes I meet a guy and I'm just like, huh, I thought I had it figured, and I still don't have it figured.
00:01:38.520 Who's more of a player, men or women?
00:01:42.360 Men.
00:01:43.080 Men.
00:01:43.580 Men.
00:01:44.140 Now I'm at a stage where I'm like, now I understand why women be out there, like, oh, you guys ain't playing this and that.
00:01:50.840 Because it's like, it's a crazy world.
00:01:53.920 Are we going to give you the same advice that we give to all these women?
00:01:56.120 I wonder if men, like, if in same-sex relationships, like, because women we know are hypergamous.
00:02:05.300 I'm like, I wonder, is it the same?
00:02:06.460 Like, is it the same, like, when it's same-sex, are you guys all sleeping with the same men?
00:02:11.640 Or is it more even cross?
00:02:12.980 I'm very particular.
00:02:14.820 Okay.
00:02:15.040 So some guys, I've been told sometimes I'm not gay enough.
00:02:20.940 Where I'm just a specific person who like what I like, and I think it's come to a point where, like, I'm 33 years old.
00:02:30.160 I'm, like, confident who I am and everyone knows and blah, blah, blah, where I'm just like, it's not just about how you look or whatever.
00:02:36.040 It's actual, the conversation, the attraction, the overall how you are as an individual.
00:02:42.400 Like, I've been with people who I physically wouldn't have been attracted to, but I've gotten to know them.
00:02:48.640 And it's been like, you've wowed my mind and that I find sexy and I find it, yeah, and attractive.
00:02:56.180 Is that the same for women?
00:02:58.440 Both.
00:02:59.100 Okay.
00:02:59.640 It's both.
00:03:01.000 Because I don't hear guys say that often where they can, like, they don't find a girl attractive and she can, like, talk her way into being attractive.
00:03:06.980 But I hear women say that about men.
00:03:08.800 That's why it's interesting.
00:03:09.900 Yeah, it is.
00:03:10.780 Because I've fallen for a person, a female, who I just used to hang out with and I physically wouldn't have normally found her attractive.
00:03:21.160 But after going out with her on, just as a friendship thing, I found myself not falling in love with her, but falling for her and seeing her in a different light.
00:03:29.640 So you were basically the gay best friend that they need to worry about.
00:03:33.220 Uh-huh.
00:03:33.860 That's deep, man.
00:03:34.760 You know what's funny?
00:03:35.520 You know what's funny, right?
00:03:36.380 One of my girls that's no longer a friend of mine because her boyfriend saw it as, uh, I was, I've been this guy where guys have stopped their girls being friends with me.
00:03:49.620 Yeah.
00:03:49.860 Because they're like, oh, blah, blah, blah.
00:03:52.320 I'm like, but your man knows I'm gay.
00:03:54.480 Just say I'm gay, though.
00:03:55.520 And he's like, nah, he knows you're bi.
00:03:57.340 So it's like it could go both ways.
00:03:59.320 Blood.
00:03:59.860 And I've been like, just tell him I'm not bi anymore.
00:04:02.600 Just say I've seen the light and I've gone all the way gay.
00:04:05.520 Honestly.
00:04:06.080 And it don't work.
00:04:07.000 If I was the boyfriend on the situation, I'm on the same vibe.
00:04:09.400 What do you mean?
00:04:09.740 Basically, as a bisexual, I'm just a lover of all people.
00:04:15.040 So just allow me to hang out with your girls.
00:04:17.540 Nah.
00:04:18.260 Nah, nah, nah.
00:04:20.540 That's mad.
00:04:22.260 No way.
00:04:23.640 Would you guys let your girlfriend hang out with a guy that was bi?
00:04:26.640 Nah, you know what?
00:04:27.300 Because he's, you're able to kind of tap into that emotional side.
00:04:32.200 Yeah?
00:04:32.620 On that side.
00:04:33.760 And then you're able to do whatever, lay whatever you need to lay in it.
00:04:38.380 So, yeah.
00:04:38.760 But I'm a good guy.
00:04:39.920 Yeah, I'm sure you're a good guy.
00:04:41.120 But you know, you'll be under the same category as just a male best friend.
00:04:45.120 It's not like sometimes a gay best friend kind of gets a little blight.
00:04:48.600 Yeah.
00:04:48.900 Because it's like he ain't interested in that.
00:04:50.260 That's what makes you scary because you've got all the attributes of the gay best friend.
00:04:54.580 But at the same time, on some days, you're not that gay best friend.
00:04:57.780 You know what I mean?
00:04:59.420 You know what I mean?
00:05:01.280 Okay.
00:05:01.860 So today's topic is talking about social media and how it pertains to relationships.
00:05:07.140 So I want to hear from the women.
00:05:10.320 On a given day, how many messages do you receive from men interested in you?
00:05:15.060 I think it depends.
00:05:19.660 I think if I put stories up, then I'll have more interaction.
00:05:22.420 But yeah, I think it just depends, really.
00:05:25.240 Okay.
00:05:25.480 That's not an answer.
00:05:26.280 Sorry.
00:05:27.520 When I put stories up, yeah, I'll get a couple, a few messages to be fair.
00:05:31.740 Okay.
00:05:32.020 So how many a day?
00:05:33.240 Like maybe like three, four, five.
00:05:35.800 Okay.
00:05:36.220 So five a day.
00:05:37.320 So, okay.
00:05:39.800 So go ahead.
00:05:40.860 I think for me, I don't post every day.
00:05:44.280 And any sort of like love or attention that I receive from dudes is from guys I already
00:05:49.880 know or have already like had an encounter with, like met before.
00:05:53.320 So I don't really get strangers like, hey, like, what's up?
00:05:57.620 Like, I don't really get that often.
00:05:59.040 But people that I know will show me love.
00:06:02.580 Okay.
00:06:03.440 So how many messages do you get a day from men?
00:06:06.400 Like a zero.
00:06:07.520 Okay.
00:06:07.800 So you get no messages from guys interested in you.
00:06:10.320 Do you have a public Instagram?
00:06:11.840 Yes.
00:06:12.460 Yes.
00:06:13.060 But I don't post often.
00:06:14.780 And when I do, it's the people that already know me.
00:06:18.000 I rarely get.
00:06:19.340 And if I do is from like an uncle that's like 25 years older than me that I'm going to ignore.
00:06:24.480 We should be friends.
00:06:25.040 It's like once in a blue moon.
00:06:26.860 Okay.
00:06:27.420 So what about you?
00:06:28.680 I don't really see them come up as much because they go into message requests.
00:06:34.140 But I'd say on average between maybe one, two.
00:06:37.540 One to two.
00:06:38.780 Hey, guys.
00:06:41.880 How many messages do you get a day?
00:06:44.680 You know what?
00:06:45.140 It's about when you post.
00:06:46.060 If I post because I'm a personal trainer.
00:06:47.920 So if I post like a update from like my gym progress, then I'll get a flurry of people.
00:06:54.780 I might get like 20 to 25.
00:06:58.440 But on a normal day, not like 5 to 10.
00:07:00.920 So if you post, you get.
00:07:02.860 Oh, and if you don't post, you get 5 to 10.
00:07:04.720 Yeah.
00:07:05.220 You're beating the women.
00:07:06.480 Yeah.
00:07:07.420 My mind.
00:07:09.340 Yeah.
00:07:09.780 I don't know.
00:07:10.460 So you get more DMs than the girls.
00:07:12.400 I guess so.
00:07:13.160 But, you know.
00:07:13.980 What would you say is the quality of the girls that DM you?
00:07:16.440 So like out of every 10, what percent are you would actually?
00:07:20.920 Yeah, maybe like 10%.
00:07:22.220 Okay.
00:07:23.100 It's like 10%.
00:07:23.720 Yeah.
00:07:24.240 I mean, if I post it, if I was to post a trap, it would maybe be that 40%.
00:07:27.980 Okay.
00:07:28.820 Just on average.
00:07:30.300 Sometimes, you know, I might get some wings in there.
00:07:34.940 But no, no.
00:07:35.780 But yeah, usually just about 10%.
00:07:37.540 I'll say.
00:07:38.180 Okay.
00:07:38.720 Yeah, because the gays love a personal trainer, man.
00:07:41.000 So my account is no longer public.
00:07:46.820 I've made it private.
00:07:48.480 And the reason why is because my situation, women are lovely.
00:07:52.080 Because women would just like, and then be like, oh, I love like how positive you are
00:07:56.880 and blah, blah, blah on social media.
00:07:58.980 Guys are very different.
00:08:00.640 There's not, I don't think, I think there's a shortage of like masculine mandem as they
00:08:06.220 call it guys.
00:08:08.020 So I made my account private because guys have kept DMing me through like, and then so
00:08:18.740 like, let's say, for example, the black gay community in London is not that big, including
00:08:23.560 like mixed race guys.
00:08:24.860 So kind of everyone's following everyone.
00:08:28.180 So some people would see, so some people would see that I'm following them or blah, blah,
00:08:32.040 blah.
00:08:32.520 And then my biography says like open-minded, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:36.020 So I don't even say I'm bisexual.
00:08:37.540 So they'll slide in my DMs.
00:08:40.260 And then one thing is with guys is guys.
00:08:44.000 Okay.
00:08:44.420 Perfect example.
00:08:45.760 I met a guy who was vibing, blah, blah, blah.
00:08:48.100 Weren't really too sure if I liked him or whatever.
00:08:49.800 And he was like, look, I wouldn't mind if you had an affair with a woman because she can
00:08:54.200 give you something that I can't give you.
00:08:56.000 But if it was with another man, he would find it offensive.
00:08:59.720 So how many messages do you get a day?
00:09:02.940 I can't say in a day.
00:09:03.940 I could say I could get like two, three a week.
00:09:06.100 Two, three a week.
00:09:06.860 Yeah.
00:09:07.160 Okay.
00:09:07.780 What about you?
00:09:10.060 I don't get no messages.
00:09:12.140 I don't get no messages.
00:09:13.420 That's half to do with the fact that I don't use social media.
00:09:16.580 Even when, but at the same time, back when I was single, I still didn't really get messages
00:09:21.820 like that, it was you having to fish rather than the fish coming to you type of situation.
00:09:27.460 Not to say that women are fish.
00:09:31.980 Canceled.
00:09:32.420 Yeah.
00:09:33.720 Taken off the platform.
00:09:34.820 But it was like, yeah, it was like, you have to go there rather than them come here.
00:09:40.200 Which is very different to a lot of other situations I've heard from like other guys
00:09:45.160 and other girls as well.
00:09:46.280 Girls to guys ratio is very different because a lot of girls I've seen get a lot more messages
00:09:51.420 than a lot of guys I've seen.
00:09:52.800 However, the guys that do get messages get a lot, and a lot of them.
00:09:57.920 So you have that like one friend, that one male friend who's a 10 out of 10, who we get
00:10:03.020 10 times more messages than any girl.
00:10:04.860 However, like a bell curve situation, there are more girls getting more messages than
00:10:10.080 guys.
00:10:10.640 Right.
00:10:11.380 But from what I've seen, the hottest guys will, because girls are hypergamous, so they
00:10:17.560 want to go for the best of best.
00:10:19.160 So if you've got that one guy who's a 10, he's going to get more messages than any girl
00:10:22.980 in any room, in anywhere.
00:10:25.140 Because every girl wants him.
00:10:28.260 So.
