00:00:00.000
Have you ever cheated, starting here, go around, and then second?
00:00:04.000
I have never cheated. I have been cheated on once that I'm aware of.
00:00:16.000
Literally just WhatsApp and also he had some dating apps as well,
00:00:24.000
Was it your first time looking or had you looked before?
00:00:27.000
That was my first time looking. I already felt there was something not quite right.
00:00:37.000
How long were you guys dating before you looked?
00:00:43.000
No, because I trusted him until a point that I didn't and then I was right.
00:00:50.000
He changed the mannerisms, the way we were together, it was just different.
00:00:57.000
I was getting lots of presents and he was very wealthy, so win-win maybe?
00:01:07.000
There was definitely things lacking, like emotionally and stuff.
00:01:14.000
I stayed for a bit because he was like, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:01:19.000
And he was like all about, you know, making everything work and fixing it.
00:01:25.000
But I think deep down, I was like, I can't, it doesn't, it's broken.
00:01:30.000
If he was making less money, would you have left quicker?
00:01:51.000
Probably, you know, because once it's broken, it's broken.
00:01:56.000
If he was making more, would you have stayed longer?
00:02:00.000
No, I think, no, there came a point where I was like, no, I'm done.
00:02:07.000
No, no, because, because I think when the trust is broken, the trust is broken.
00:02:12.000
So like, although I'm like, yeah, we can make it work.
00:02:22.000
And you, and once that trust is broken, then I think it's really hard for a relationship
00:02:28.000
But I think because we spent so long together and we were good for so long and he was willing
00:02:32.500
to own up to it and rectify it and blah, blah, blah.
00:02:37.000
But realistically, it's very rare that that works.
00:02:41.000
If you were single the rest of your life, would you have wished you worked it out with
00:02:54.000
But I think, I think when I was in love with him, I probably would have said that, but
00:03:01.000
That, that emotion, that emotional draw or tie.
00:03:09.000
Have you ever, have you ever flirted with another guy?
00:03:14.000
It's just because of some of the stuff that I do work that I do, but, but never with intent.
00:03:23.000
Did you have guy friends at all when you were in that relationship?
00:03:35.000
Did you ever respond to messages from other guys?
00:03:44.000
Maybe light flirting some guy friends, but nothing physical.
00:03:50.000
I really, if I like someone, that's the only person I want to be with.
00:04:02.000
I think they kind of cheat for a one-upmanship rather than, so you did it so I can do it.
00:04:08.000
Whereas, um, I think that there is an element that it's, you know, escapism and they, and they want out of what they're in.
00:04:27.000
You've never cheated, but you know women who've cheated back.
00:04:32.000
And is that usually, does it work out for them?
00:04:48.000
Um, I've experienced someone being unfaithful to me, but we're not even together in the first place.
00:04:55.000
So you weren't, so how was he unfaithful if you weren't together?
00:04:58.000
Um, I just, we were doing very official things.
00:05:03.000
So the sex, you guys were having sex and then he was, we didn't have like a proper talk.
00:05:13.000
But then I just energetically felt like he was with someone else.
00:05:22.000
If, if you never really established something, but, but then you kind of have?
00:05:38.000
If you're, if you're not together, you think it counts as cheating?
00:05:49.000
He was consistently asking me out to be official.
00:05:51.000
I was kind of, you know, for me, it's about action.
00:05:54.000
So instead of saying, yes, I can be a girlfriend, I have to receive girlfriend treatments and,
00:06:06.000
Maybe, maybe he took it as a no and then was starting to move on.
00:06:13.000
Like if like, it's like, if you asked a guy to be your boyfriend or like, if you, it's going
00:06:17.000
somewhere and he says, no, wouldn't you move on?
00:06:48.000
It was just some kissing and a bit of a fumble in my lunch break.
00:07:10.000
So I don't know how I feel about it or felt about it.
00:07:19.000
So I don't know how I feel about it or felt about it.
00:07:56.000
Well, the first time, she probably cheated on me and then I just went nuts.
00:08:17.000
She's probably going to watch this, so I can't.
00:09:23.000
And we're actually laughing about it over the other week.
00:09:53.000
Like, she's the best, but she thought I was a proper angel.
00:09:57.000
And when I was about to tell her over dinner, like, everything that happened, like, she was like,
00:10:02.000
Like, I look at you as a, like, as an angel, so I was like, all right, find a way to tell
00:10:30.000
In your experience, if a girl finds out about another, if a girl finds out about other
00:10:57.000
I want to know what you define cheating as first.
00:11:04.000
Because everyone sees cheating as a different thing.
00:11:17.000
Is it deceiving someone behind their back or is it doing it when they know about it?
00:11:30.000
So, you've had like an open relationship type thing?
00:11:50.000
To be honest with you, everyone sees cheating as a different thing.
00:11:53.000
So, I'm trying to find out what cheating is to you.
00:12:01.000
Yeah, but if they know about it, then it's not cheating, isn't it?
00:12:06.000
But, so my question is, like, so you did like a one-sided open relationship where it
00:12:31.000
So, I found that as a good excuse to cheat on them back.
00:12:37.000
Like, if I said I'm in a relationship with someone, I'd be like, right, I'm in a
00:12:42.000
And I'm like, right, I'm going back to Stefan now.
00:12:50.000
Like, my girlfriends were so sly about it as well.
00:12:56.000
Like, when it comes to dating, I'm like, super intelligent.
00:13:24.000
So, I'm going to take pictures of people in a club.
00:13:29.000
Well, obviously, if I go out, someone's going to take a photo of me.
00:13:32.000
If they're asking me that question, I'm like, I'll wait for them to go out.
00:13:35.000
And then I'll go and tag photos and stuff and see them in photos.
00:13:38.000
I'm like, why are you taking photos and why are you even asking me?
00:13:42.000
If someone asks you a direct question, you have a direct answer.
00:13:46.000
So, then I sort of like, if you're asking me a question, then what's the reason that you're
00:13:57.000
So, it's like, when someone asks the whereabouts or why you're doing something, it's normally
00:14:08.000
So, they would be cheating with the guys they took pictures with?
00:14:11.000
So, for example, they'd be like, why are you taking photos with someone?
00:14:21.000
So, I'm like, if that's a problem to you, and you're doing it, then you must be cheating
00:14:36.000
Like, then you're doing, you're hiding something.
00:14:45.000
Or, if I'm taking a phone, even if I've gone back to an after party and there's five,
00:14:52.000
And the fact they've asked me, and I've told them, I'm like, why are you
00:15:02.000
Did you message the guys that she was taking pictures with?
00:15:10.000
Like, because I've been in the limelight quite a while, they start messaging me.
00:15:22.000
And also, if they've been out, if an ex-girlfriend's been out on a night out or whatever, like,
00:15:27.000
you can see who they've been with because they start following them and stuff.
00:15:49.000
Like, if someone's been with someone, they've not said they've been with them.
00:15:54.000
Like, if you ask someone to question, it's like, oh, who was you with?
00:16:01.000
The fact they didn't say that to you is cheating to me.
00:16:16.000
By that logic, if a girl lies about her body count, is it cheating?
00:16:36.000
So, you're like, where's that 20 come from then?
00:16:50.000
And I'm honest about it, it just makes me want to be dishonest going forward.
00:16:52.000
But my thing with body count is, how can you ever really know who's telling the truth?
00:16:58.000
Yeah, but if you say, like, 10 and you're 30 years old, like, you know something to be...
00:17:02.000
Like, if I haven't started sleeping with people until I'm, like, 27, 28, then of course that number can be...
00:17:07.000
But what if you're with someone and you find out they've been with 12 people after?
00:17:16.000
I feel like that's quite a general thing to say.
00:17:19.000
I'm not saying it's 100%, but when women slip up, it always comes out.
00:17:28.000
Yeah, look, the thing is, like, 2 off, 4, 5, 10, whatever, but when you're, like, 50 off, or 100, then there's a problem.
00:17:40.000
So if I was to say right now that my body count's 10...
00:17:49.000
You wouldn't be able to know if I'm lying or not.
00:17:55.000
Yeah, but I just think the truth comes out of people...
00:18:00.000
I'll give you an example, because, like, I've had hundreds of women come on the show.
00:18:04.000
It's like, one girl will say something on the podcast, but eventually I hear about someone she's slept with.
00:18:28.000
And then, like, some guy will be like, oh, I slept with that one, that one, that.
00:18:41.000
But then when it's like three guys have the same story, you're like, okay, God.
00:19:04.000
Like, men lie more about their body count than women.
00:19:27.000
So it's hard to know what body count you actually have.
00:20:24.000
I think women suffer more judgment from the guy.
00:20:32.000
Because usually we presume that the guy is left with a lot of girls.
00:20:56.000
We lie about the things that society finds important.
00:20:59.000
And women lie about their body count because it works.
00:21:03.000
In all honesty, I think women lie more because it's like we have the filters on Instagram.
00:21:38.000
I mean, I guess in a way, yes, it's just more socially acceptable with women.
00:21:43.000
However, there are a lot of guys, depending on the spectrum of guy that you're like talking
00:21:47.000
to or dealing with, they are very physically orientated.
00:21:52.000
So they do go to the gym, whatever it takes to get that buff body.
00:22:11.000
But they do added extras, but it's so subtle and it's not spoken about because it's the
00:22:17.000
focus is mainly on women because the beauty industry is funneled for women.
00:22:30.000
From personal experience, a man, all they want to do is have a hair transplant.
00:22:40.000
They don't feel comfortable talking about it, but I do.
00:22:52.000
All self-reported data about cheating, money or whatever we speak now are unreliable.
00:23:04.000
Yes, I have cheated before and I have been cheated as well.
00:23:10.000
Well, let's talk about the physical that we started now and then we will go farther.
00:23:17.000
Like how did you meet women you wanted to cheat with?
00:23:23.000
I was just in the clubs every night and it was easy.
00:23:48.000
Like she would like entering the house or something.
00:24:00.000
No, I kicked them out and I stayed with you after.
00:24:13.000
Did you ever have sex with one girl and then have sex with her right after?
00:24:22.000
In your experience, do women stay after they're cheated on?
00:24:31.000
If they respect themselves, they should just leave.
00:24:47.000
Did you ask them to stay or did they say, I want to stay?
00:24:56.000
But do you ever, do you say, I won't do it again.
00:25:00.000
You're the one, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:25:14.000
So just because he said, I'm sorry, I won't do it again.
00:25:17.000
Just curious as to, are they so desperate to stay that they don't need any reassurance?
00:25:25.000
Or are you coercing them into staying perhaps saying like, I will never.
00:25:33.000
No, as in sort of saying, oh, you've caught me.
00:25:40.000
So it's kind of lying to them, to engage in them.
00:25:47.000
But women don't really care when they get cheated on.
00:25:51.000
And I say this because if you look at their, look at it.
00:25:58.000
But when I look at actions, they typically stay.
00:26:07.000
But the reasons behind it, I mean, there's an evolutionary reason behind it.
00:26:21.000
We can try to say biology doesn't matter, but it does.
00:26:24.000
And it's because in the old days, if a guy could take care of other women and was selected
00:26:28.000
by other women, that showed that he could take care of you too.
00:26:31.000
And so that's why cheating, it's different for men and for women.
00:26:34.000
And in some cultures, they have multiple wives, which is technically.
00:26:43.000
And in some cultures, there's women who also have multiple husbands.
00:27:11.000
8,000 years ago, 17 women were reproduced for every one man.
00:27:33.000
I feel like in society, just because one thing works for someone doesn't mean it works for
00:27:39.000
And I think the different tribes and the different, you know.
00:27:41.000
We have to have a conversation about in generalities.
00:27:46.000
Like we have to talk about the rule before we can talk about the exceptions.
00:27:49.000
And the rule is women tend to stay more than they do.
00:28:05.000
That means you've been seeing a lot of guys now.
00:28:07.000
I've been interested for like four people, but real relationship only one person.
00:28:23.000
I'm saying when you're in a situationship, it's not.
00:28:26.000
I wouldn't say situationship, but like you're getting, I was getting to know these people,
00:28:30.000
But the whole point is like, you didn't require exclusivity.
00:28:34.000
Meaning, he was proud, the reason women stay is because they can't replace the guy.
00:28:38.000
But again, why is that because of financial hardship in society?
00:28:43.000
It's literally less beneficial for a woman to leave a relationship than it is for a man.
00:28:49.000
It's less beneficial for a woman to leave a relationship, but more women leave relationships.
00:28:55.000
Even like you say all the time, 70% of divorces are by women.
00:28:59.000
But again, why is it such a high number considering how much they lose in the relationship?
00:29:05.000
Does it not show that there's something missing there?
00:29:09.000
But I think it's because we've told women wrong.
00:29:17.000
And so when women are unhappy, they leave relationships, even when there's children involved.
00:29:24.000
You should be happy with the person that you're with.
00:29:26.000
You should feel supported by them emotionally, physically.
00:29:30.000
I think that's unrealistic in a 50 year marriage.
00:29:35.000
Do you really think that they were happy for 50 years?
00:29:39.000
They've definitely done a little thing on the side.
00:29:46.000
Did you know that in the 1950s, you know, the main era of stay at home moms and happy families
00:29:50.000
and all of that, there was like a known thing of those women being extremely unhappy
00:29:57.000
because of the fact that they didn't have an out.
00:30:01.000
That's like, that's kind of the propaganda that they put.
00:30:04.000
Most girls that I meet go, I want you to have enough money to have to work.
00:30:09.000
I never say things unless I research it, you know.
00:30:12.000
But here's the problem, is most of those studies, if you follow them back,
00:30:16.000
it's by these like feminist gender studies professors that have gender.
00:30:22.000
Feminists infiltrated universities in the 1970s and 80s,
00:30:25.000
so much so that they made it more subjective rather than objective.
00:30:28.000
And so the difference is now, it's like we have women running the universities
00:30:32.000
and they even talk about how they rewrite history.
00:30:37.000
If you can't trust anything that we find online, where can we actually find data to back the things that we say?
00:30:44.000
And I think this is the difference between like the right and the left a lot of times.
00:30:49.000
Like I think you learn over time, like which sources tend to be more credible.
00:30:55.000
But in my experience, like I see what's in front of my eyes.
00:30:58.000
Do you know, like sometimes they want to give you a study and say,
00:31:03.000
And I just don't see men being these crazy abusers that are just making women miserable.
00:31:09.000
If anything, I see it the other way around much more.
00:31:17.000
And I feel like just because you haven't seen this doesn't make it not true.
00:31:23.000
Like it doesn't delete other people's experiences.
00:31:25.000
There's hundreds of millions of women on this earth.
00:31:28.000
And I guess if we're going to go off of abuse, then I want to see police reports.
00:31:34.000
The majority of abuse claims are not filed in criminal court.
00:31:42.000
I'm the first time I've experienced in this shit.
00:31:45.000
It's because in criminal court, it requires evidence.
00:31:49.000
And in family court, it's on a balance of probabilities.
00:31:52.000
Meaning if it's 51% more likely that he did it, then they will take the woman's side.
00:31:56.000
So if a woman cries on the stand, she only has to convince one judge.
00:32:01.000
Where in criminal court, it's a jury of your peers, which is a lot harder to sway.
00:32:06.000
And that, in my opinion, is why women do not file police reports.
00:32:12.000
I think they don't file it because they're scared.
00:32:20.000
I'm from Brazil and he has one of the highest rates of violence against women.
00:32:24.000
I've done like charity work and working with women.
00:32:27.000
So depending, guys, look, it depends socioeconomically.
00:32:37.000
What we're talking about is it depends on where you are.
00:32:39.000
Even on an international level, the issue is that they've switched to the Duluth model.
00:32:46.000
And one of them even admitted that it was not correct.
00:32:49.000
Like that the evidence that she was seeing working with women that had been abused
00:32:55.000
And basically the model that they made put men because they have more power.
00:33:02.000
Why do they call the police and they automatically arrest the man?
00:33:05.000
Even if the woman's hitting the man, it's because it's all based off of the Duluth model.
00:33:14.000
I just noticed patterns and you see the same pattern.
00:33:20.000
You're the number one swiped right man on Tinder, right?
00:33:24.000
They always do it to men with money, power, and status.
00:33:30.000
And that's the problem with the abuse claims is that the system is so skewed one way
00:33:36.000
because it's all based on a feminist model that men have more power.
00:33:54.000
Yeah, there's definitely women that could take men, you know, even football, sports,
