Transcript

00:00:00.000 Do you think you guys could respect a guy and follow his lead
00:00:04.280 if you make more money than him?
00:00:06.760 No.
00:00:07.600 Subconsciously, I do.
00:00:08.560 Whoa.
00:00:10.280 No.
00:00:10.880 I don't mind, like, in terms of finances.
00:00:13.380 It doesn't make a difference to me.
00:00:14.720 Yeah, I wouldn't mind if my partner made more money than me.
00:00:17.600 It's as long as you talk to me with the same level of respect
00:00:19.900 because I'm still earning.
00:00:21.240 Do you know what I mean?
00:00:21.540 So what if you were paying 80% of the bills
00:00:23.620 and you had to buy a house?
00:00:25.420 So let's say you pay...
00:00:26.780 That don't make sense.
00:00:27.400 Yeah, let's say...
00:00:28.640 I'm just taking it to the extreme.
00:00:31.320 You're paying 80% of the bills
00:00:32.680 and he says we're buying this house
00:00:35.020 and you don't like it, you hate it.
00:00:37.200 Are you going to go with it?
00:00:38.280 No.
00:00:39.180 You'd have to convince me why we're buying it.
00:00:41.480 You'd have to make logical sense.
00:00:43.480 I personally...
00:00:44.640 The whole point is that you're not submitting
00:00:46.920 if he has to convince you.
00:00:48.620 True.
00:00:48.880 That's like if it's your boss and he tells you to do something,
00:00:51.220 you just do it, right?
00:00:52.080 True, true.
00:00:52.680 So, I mean, I think when we're being honest,
00:00:55.060 it's hard to submit to someone if they don't make more money.
00:00:57.680 And I feel like a man is meant to be,
00:01:00.060 well, if you're married, a provider.
00:01:02.640 Well, not a sole provider, but a provider.
00:01:05.460 And I don't feel like if you're not earning more than me,
00:01:08.400 you could provide for me fully.
00:01:11.180 And if we're buying a house together and I don't like it,
00:01:13.200 I'm providing basically more.
00:01:15.680 It's going to be more my decision.
00:01:17.220 I think it would be hard for me to submit to someone
00:01:19.140 who isn't basically being able to lead me.
00:01:22.060 You're going to have to be able to lead me.
00:01:23.300 And if you're not earning more than me,
00:01:24.840 it's going to be harder for me to agree or listen to you.
00:01:28.320 It might sound, oh, that's not nice, but that's how I feel.
00:01:30.900 I can't listen to someone that isn't earning more than me.
00:01:34.620 But why is that, though?
00:01:35.380 I'm the opposite.
00:01:36.240 I just feel like it's just because of the way I've been raised.
00:01:39.080 If I, for example, I use my dad, he's always been an earner.
00:01:42.220 He's always been able to look after me and his family.
00:01:44.460 So that's what I see my future husband doing.
00:01:47.140 And if you're not earning more than me,
00:01:48.800 maybe if it's a short period of time, you've lost money or you're down.
00:01:52.540 But I couldn't marry someone that earns less than me.
00:01:55.120 I just couldn't.
00:01:56.040 Because how I see the role of a man in the household,
00:01:58.100 you're meant to be a leader, provider.
00:02:00.540 I just couldn't.
00:02:01.320 I don't understand.
00:02:02.020 But sometimes there's a come up, so they might be low in the beginning.
00:02:05.720 Could you stick by someone that has a good heart
00:02:08.360 and be with them through the come up?
00:02:11.340 To be honest with you, I feel maybe because of my past experiences,
00:02:14.160 where I am now, I don't want to be with someone that's on the come up.
00:02:20.360 I feel like, especially because I have a child
00:02:23.220 and where I want to be in life, I don't want someone that's on the come up.
00:02:27.120 Maybe a few years ago, it was fine.
00:02:29.240 But where I am now, I want you to be at least a certain level
00:02:32.020 earning a certain amount of money consistently.
00:02:34.320 I don't want to have to raise you or support you consistently.
00:02:37.980 How much money is it?
00:02:39.420 How much money?
00:02:40.000 Do you know what?
00:02:41.200 It doesn't have to be a large amount of money
00:02:42.900 because I'm not, what's the word?
00:02:45.200 High maintenance or...
00:02:46.080 Let me Google, hold on.
00:02:47.360 Yeah.
00:02:48.600 Average salary UK.
00:02:52.980 Okay.
00:02:53.940 I feel like someone just be able to live, maintain,
00:02:57.040 be able to go out on events and do things.
00:02:59.140 It doesn't have to be crazy, but as long as you're...
00:03:01.100 London, £41,000.
00:03:03.140 If he earns that.
00:03:04.280 Yeah, that's the average.
00:03:05.000 It says the average yearly wage for full-time workers
00:03:07.240 in London in 2022, according to status.
00:03:11.040 Yeah, I think that would be fine for me.
00:03:12.500 I don't, you don't have to be a millionaire or a billionaire.
00:03:14.620 No way.
00:03:15.420 You just have to be able to support yourself
00:03:17.300 so that we can rise together.
00:03:19.440 I don't want someone that's down
00:03:20.540 and then I have to pull you up
00:03:21.780 because I've got a child.
00:03:22.560 I don't have time to be pulling up everyone.
00:03:24.040 Then there's rebuttal is,
00:03:25.420 what are you bringing to the table?
00:03:26.920 What am I bringing to the table?
00:03:28.300 I don't get what it's all...
00:03:29.680 Well, I'm bringing myself.
00:03:32.900 I'm bringing everything I can do.
00:03:35.220 Yeah, but yeah, I bring a lot to the table.
00:03:36.840 Why do you hate the question?
00:03:38.020 I hate that question.
00:03:39.120 You don't think if you're interviewing for a job,
00:03:41.400 you have to show them your resume and your money experience?
00:03:44.400 Yeah, of course.
00:03:45.280 But I feel like when men ask that question,
00:03:48.300 I feel like we should be asking you,
00:03:51.740 what are you bringing to the table?
00:03:54.580 Money.
00:03:54.860 Because I...
00:03:55.960 41 bags.
00:03:57.240 You know what's crazy?
00:03:58.260 Yeah, but you're forgetting,
00:04:00.120 a woman is going to,
00:04:02.780 first of all,
00:04:03.120 she's going to make your house a home.
00:04:06.120 She is going to raise your kids.
00:04:08.460 Do you think most modern women can make a house a home?
00:04:11.160 Do most modern women have recipes from scratch?
00:04:13.580 No.
00:04:14.080 No, not...
00:04:14.460 Modern women that have old school morals.
00:04:16.180 No.
00:04:16.940 They're TikTok.
00:04:17.820 Not necessarily.
00:04:20.340 Not necessarily,
00:04:21.640 but what I mean is,
00:04:22.780 she is going to make your house feel like a home.
00:04:25.460 She is going to be there for you.
00:04:26.800 How does she do that specifically?
00:04:28.980 Well, you would do duties around the house,
00:04:31.320 would you not?
00:04:31.400 A maid can do that.
00:04:32.320 But not every woman does that now.
00:04:34.300 It's a certain type of woman you're talking about.
00:04:35.780 So, like, what does she bring to the table
00:04:37.380 that a hooker, a cook, and a cleaner can't do?
00:04:40.420 But she's going to be providing you with support,
00:04:42.960 emotional support, like...
00:04:43.520 But I just think when men hear this,
00:04:45.380 it's like we're saying nothing.
00:04:47.540 Oh, okay.
00:04:48.040 It's like not specific as,
00:04:50.520 I can do this,
00:04:51.180 I have this skill,
00:04:51.900 this, this, and this.
00:04:53.300 My mama can do that.
00:04:54.580 Do you know what it is?
00:04:55.820 Obviously, my sexuality,
00:04:58.280 and my role is basically like the male role,
00:05:00.780 so that's why I'm just asking these little ones and twos
00:05:04.200 to throw you off,
00:05:05.220 but also to get a better understanding.
00:05:08.100 But I'm not really hearing,
00:05:10.120 it's not matching up to the 41 grand
00:05:12.500 that I'm bringing to the table.
00:05:12.520 I don't get why everything's always centered around finances.
00:05:15.700 I understand you need money to survive,
00:05:17.480 but I don't understand where women have the high expectations
00:05:20.500 of expecting a man to have so much money to get with him.
00:05:23.040 Like, how can...
00:05:24.160 I thought, like, if you love someone,
00:05:25.920 it's based on love,
00:05:26.900 like, not just based on what you can pick.
00:05:29.400 Like, it's like you can tick all these boxes.
00:05:31.300 But where's the love in that?
00:05:32.700 Do you want to get it?
00:05:33.500 One thing I realised from being in a relationship,
00:05:35.140 love is not enough.
00:05:36.000 Love is not enough.
00:05:36.380 So you can have love.
00:05:37.120 It's wonderful.
00:05:38.920 It's great to be in love,
00:05:40.200 but it's not enough.
00:05:40.860 Love is everything.
00:05:41.820 Peace and love is life.
00:05:43.960 Okay, we can say that.
00:05:45.160 A man wants peace.
00:05:46.320 When you think about it,
00:05:46.860 and he wants love.
00:05:47.480 You can be in love with someone,
00:05:48.520 love them dearly,
00:05:49.380 but when the bills come,
00:05:50.520 is that love going to pay the bills?
00:05:51.520 You need to lower your maintenance then?
00:05:53.400 Yeah, you can lower your maintenance.
00:05:54.440 If you've got high expectations,
00:05:55.300 you should be providing for yourself then?
00:05:57.520 You can't expect the man to do that?
00:05:58.880 No, but you've got to do it together.
00:06:00.320 For example, okay,
00:06:01.160 you live together.
00:06:02.440 There are certain things that a woman may pay,
00:06:04.420 and there are certain things that a man may pay.
00:06:06.080 Okay.
00:06:06.680 You both work.
00:06:08.180 Love is not going to pay those bills.
00:06:09.520 Love is not going to keep you warm at night
00:06:10.720 when you have to pay our electricity.
00:06:10.940 But you endure when you survive
00:06:12.260 the life of a household together.
00:06:13.880 You survive.
00:06:14.580 That's how it works.
00:06:15.140 And you become accustomed to the wealth
00:06:16.640 that you make in your household.
00:06:18.060 I get that,
00:06:18.560 but that's not the way
00:06:20.020 I would want to live my life.
00:06:21.120 I want to be able to enjoy.
00:06:23.280 I want to be in love
00:06:24.380 and be able to say,
00:06:25.180 okay.
00:06:25.760 So if your man makes more than you,
00:06:28.780 why is he expected to make more
00:06:30.860 and you make less
00:06:31.900 and you both live the same life?
00:06:32.820 He doesn't have to make more.
00:06:34.020 You just said he has to make more,
00:06:35.360 didn't you?
00:06:35.920 No, no, no.
00:06:36.340 I didn't say he has to make more.
00:06:37.260 I said if I made more,
00:06:38.760 I wouldn't be able to submit to him.
00:06:40.620 So that means he's going to make more.
00:06:41.680 So he has to make more?
00:06:42.820 We could make the same amount.
00:06:44.080 You'd be happy with the same amount?
00:06:45.400 Yeah, I would be happy with the same amount,
00:06:46.740 but I find,
00:06:47.400 I know if he makes less than me,
00:06:50.320 it would be harder for me to submit.
00:06:51.680 Why is that?
00:06:52.200 Because I just,
00:06:53.040 I just,
00:06:53.420 that's how I see it.
00:06:54.360 I can't even put a nail on it,
00:06:55.660 but I know if a man made less than me.
00:06:56.880 Do you think society has a role to play in that?
00:06:59.140 That finance has got taken its toll?
00:07:00.860 A hundred percent.
00:07:01.860 A hundred percent.
00:07:02.300 I'm probably by the way I've been raised.
00:07:02.860 On your love lives.
00:07:03.780 Yeah.
00:07:04.140 Pardon me?
00:07:04.700 It's taken,
00:07:05.420 do you think society has taken a toll
00:07:07.080 on how you love someone?
00:07:08.700 Because it's supposed to be love.
00:07:10.000 Yeah.
00:07:10.180 No,
00:07:10.960 I think it's just the way I see love.
00:07:12.980 I feel like love is not enough.
00:07:14.700 Maybe my past relationship.
00:07:15.380 So you think love is based on material then basically?
00:07:17.020 No,
00:07:17.400 what I think love is,
00:07:18.380 is you can love someone,
00:07:19.860 but maybe,
00:07:20.700 what can I say?
00:07:21.440 So say you was with a man and he was rich
00:07:23.720 and then he went broke,
00:07:24.680 would you stay with him?
00:07:25.580 A hundred percent.
00:07:26.520 What's the difference then if the roles are reversed?
00:07:28.760 The difference is because you've gone broke.
00:07:30.820 I didn't meet you broke.
00:07:31.560 So why can't you help somebody get rich
00:07:33.080 if you can help them stay broke?
00:07:34.540 Because it's a mentality thing.
00:07:36.360 If he could get rich in the first place,
00:07:38.320 then I know in my heart he can get rich again.
00:07:40.720 But how do you do that?
00:07:41.640 I believe a good person.
00:07:43.000 I believe in his mentality.
00:07:43.800 You know what it is?
00:07:44.420 Personally,
00:07:44.780 I get what you're trying to say.
00:07:45.720 A good person can see potential in somebody
00:07:47.760 if I'm nothing.
00:07:48.440 The problem is,
00:07:48.880 if I speak from my personal experiences,
00:07:51.060 I am always the one seeing potential in people
00:07:52.820 and always trying to stick by them.
00:07:53.680 Maybe there's something that you should look within yourself
00:07:55.540 that might need fixing and choosing a partner then.
00:07:57.700 Maybe it's not the man.
00:07:58.620 Do you know what it is?
00:07:59.320 Maybe it is.
00:08:00.400 But that's why I've made decisions to say
00:08:02.220 I'm not looking,
00:08:03.020 I'm not going to go with somebody that is.
00:08:04.840 I'm not going to look at anyone's potential anymore
00:08:06.320 because we can see potential for days.
00:08:07.900 It doesn't mean that they're going to reach that.
00:08:09.320 So what I've learned is
00:08:10.100 I now want to be with someone
00:08:11.300 or get to date someone
00:08:12.800 that is at a certain stage
00:08:14.080 that I can say,
00:08:15.340 okay, you're not at your pulling up stage.
00:08:16.960 I don't have to pull you up.
00:08:18.100 That's very unfair on men.
00:08:20.100 Well, maybe that is,
00:08:21.440 but that's my opinion.
00:08:22.300 That's where I am now.
00:08:23.120 I've given people chances,
00:08:24.920 pull them up.
00:08:25.760 So you want a high value man, basically?
00:08:27.880 I wouldn't say high value,
00:08:29.040 but someone that is at...
00:08:29.860 Yeah, high value.
00:08:30.680 Yeah, we could say high value.
00:08:31.820 That's the high value.
00:08:32.780 Well, you've got a child as well, don't you?
00:08:34.420 Just so you guys know.
00:08:35.200 A child as well.
00:08:36.560 If we're going to use that term,
00:08:37.580 it's 10k a month.
00:08:38.660 That's high value.
00:08:40.780 I wouldn't say high value.
00:08:42.080 I just want someone that is able to pay their bills,
00:08:44.940 feed themselves, look after themselves.
00:08:46.760 Okay, so what if a guy ticked all them boxes
00:08:48.440 and emotionally you don't feel nothing,
00:08:50.520 but besides that,
00:08:51.360 he's absolutely perfect.
00:08:52.800 Would you stay with him?
00:08:53.260 I don't like him.
00:08:54.260 There's no emotional connection.
00:08:55.320 There's no love there.
00:08:56.000 You said love isn't what it used to be.
00:08:57.980 No, I said love isn't enough.
00:08:59.500 So I can love someone,
00:09:00.620 but everything else has to be respectful.
00:09:02.740 You have to have family values.
00:09:03.900 Just say he ticked all them boxes,
00:09:05.420 but you love them a little bit.
00:09:08.720 Love is important.
00:09:10.420 He ticks all them boxes.
00:09:11.660 Say that question.
00:09:12.760 If a man ticked all the boxes
00:09:14.780 and you loved him a little bit,
00:09:16.740 is that good enough?
00:09:19.220 No.
00:09:20.240 Okay.
00:09:20.600 No, it's not.
00:09:21.420 I agree with you.
00:09:23.200 Sorry.
00:09:23.840 Do you think there's a minimum?
00:09:25.560 Like a guy has to have a job, right?
00:09:27.620 Okay, yeah.
00:09:28.420 Yeah, I mean, I think it's dishonest
00:09:30.120 when we say it's all about love
00:09:31.480 because I think at some point,
00:09:33.900 if a guy's unemployed for five years,
00:09:35.360 you're probably going to leave.
00:09:36.620 I think it's about the mentality of a person.
00:09:38.980 So like if somebody's broke,
00:09:40.220 say I met someone and he's broke,
00:09:42.460 but he's got the right mentality
00:09:43.520 to conquer the world,
00:09:45.620 then by all means,
00:09:46.340 I can support him and I can help him.
00:09:48.020 I'm happy to do that.
00:09:48.860 No, I agree with you.
00:09:50.520 It's about mentality,
00:09:51.520 but I just think when we're asking these questions,
00:09:53.240 it's like, what is the minimum?
00:09:55.580 I don't have a minimum.
00:09:56.480 If I like somebody and I believe in them,
00:09:59.220 then they've got my support.
00:10:00.820 But how long are you believing in them
00:10:02.880 until they like...
00:10:04.280 As long as I think it's difficult,
00:10:06.280 say I have money
00:10:07.720 and the man doesn't have any money.
00:10:09.180 If he can respect my values
00:10:10.600 and like believe that I'm putting him
00:10:12.080 in positions to help him,
00:10:13.380 then I'll support him.
00:10:14.860 If he's getting up every day
00:10:16.480 at six in the morning
00:10:17.660 and he's trying and trying,
00:10:19.040 you can't fault somebody like that.
00:10:20.980 Because we're all from different places.
00:10:22.160 But for how long?
00:10:23.740 And there's no job five years later.
00:10:25.720 But I think I've got
00:10:27.360 a whole different perspective of life
00:10:29.120 because of my lifestyle
00:10:30.400 and how I've been brought up.
00:10:32.520 What's different about your lifestyle?
00:10:34.360 Everything.
00:10:35.040 I think my life's upbringing,
00:10:36.500 experience is completely different
00:10:38.000 to a lot of people.
00:10:39.700 Okay, how so?
00:10:40.660 I don't really want to dig too deep on here
00:10:42.240 if I'm being honest,
00:10:43.000 but I just do believe
00:10:43.960 that my circumstances
00:10:45.000 are quite unique.
00:10:47.520 I just don't think money's everything.
00:10:49.780 So what would it take
00:10:50.580 for you not to believe in him anymore?
00:10:52.080 For you to say,
00:10:52.600 okay, cool,
00:10:53.100 my first perspective of this man was wrong
00:10:56.280 and he's actually like,
00:10:59.520 not a bum, sorry, but...
00:11:00.780 If he's behaving like a bum,
00:11:02.140 then obviously that's a huge red flag
00:11:04.400 that he doesn't really want to change his life.
00:11:06.200 He's quite happy being mediocre.
00:11:08.000 So yeah.
00:11:08.980 So that's when you'll leave,
00:11:10.140 when you realise his true mentality.
00:11:12.060 Yeah, but I haven't ever encountered
00:11:14.420 a situation like that
00:11:15.700 to say I'm going like a...
00:11:18.280 Okay.
00:11:19.300 What were you going to say?
00:11:20.580 You had something to say earlier.
00:11:21.880 Yeah, I just agree with you.
00:11:24.560 Sorry, I forgot your lovely name.
00:11:26.060 Janae.
00:11:26.580 I agree with you.
00:11:27.900 And I feel like what you were trying to say
00:11:29.720 was, yes, your love is,
00:11:33.000 you love someone,
00:11:33.920 but it's, as a woman,
00:11:35.100 it's conditional.
00:11:37.640 And I'm going to be honest,
00:11:39.200 as a woman,
00:11:39.860 like my love is conditional.
00:11:41.500 Yes, I can love you.
00:11:42.840 And yes,
00:11:43.800 I can have these amazing,
00:11:45.220 beautiful memories with you.
00:11:46.180 But if you are not bringing
00:11:49.200 those qualities that I want
00:11:51.440 and you are not going to contribute
00:11:54.640 to the life that I want for myself,
00:11:57.060 then that love is not enough for me.
00:11:59.680 It's not enough for me.
00:12:01.260 And if I'm honest with you,
00:12:02.760 I'm not really looking
00:12:04.100 to be with someone
00:12:05.440 and do the whole struggle love thing.
00:12:07.140 I'll be honest, I'm not.
00:12:09.120 I'll agree.
00:12:09.640 Yes, you have dreams,
00:12:11.220 but it's not my job
00:12:12.580 to sit here and motivate you
00:12:14.120 and be holding your hand
00:12:15.800 while you're doing it.
00:12:16.820 I'm not looking for a project.
00:12:18.440 I'm looking for someone
00:12:19.420 who is established
00:12:20.200 because I feel like
00:12:22.240 as a high value woman,
00:12:23.740 I am allowed to seek
00:12:25.140 a high value man,
00:12:26.160 especially because I know
00:12:27.380 what I bring to the table.
00:12:28.560 So I want someone to match that.
