00:00:00.000
would you guys say because you're both in your 20s right yeah okay would you get so being in
00:00:04.800
your 30s would you say that that switched also in your 30s like you were dating more seriously
00:00:09.780
uh i was already married oh wow 20s um so yeah i was i was always dating seriously before that i
00:00:18.560
had a seven year long relationship i've only ever really been in relationships this is my first time
00:00:23.160
being single and i'm freaked out but then how do you know like are you supposed to just like go okay
00:00:33.280
well that how do you know when it's the guy like do you believe in one guy i believe that it's good
00:00:40.500
to make sure that you're with somebody that has the same values um no but i'm saying do you believe
00:00:45.280
like there's one person for you out there i don't believe the one the one i don't believe in the one
00:00:50.140
i believe in great communication and and i believe in trash communication um and if you've
00:00:55.220
got great communication then you've got the basis for a great relationship um so so do i believe in
00:01:00.700
the one no i think that's a bit esoteric so you two um single childless 55 to 60 would you be happy
00:01:08.200
i know so you said happy single yeah so mind you i'm about to be 27 i think obviously everyone has
00:01:15.040
their own decision she's quite happy clearly in her life at 55 for me my priorities are very
00:01:20.120
very very different um i am looking to have a family so maybe for her clearly well not maybe
00:01:26.660
clearly for her that was not a priority um but the age that i am and the life that i want for myself
00:01:32.400
i'm very much already planning for myself as of now to get to the point where i can have that family
00:01:38.000
in the next couple of years yeah yeah just plan for the unexpected but
00:01:42.800
expect the unexpected already have a plan yeah if you what is it if you fail to prepare then you
00:01:50.500
prepare to fail do you think preparing for the worst is the do you think that's the best way to go
00:01:56.000
about dating and relationships great question i think it's expect the best but prepare for the worst
00:02:01.540
does that make sense i don't prepare for the worst don't you think if you're always having one foot
00:02:05.920
out the door in a backup plan that you're destined to fail no yeah that no so like psychologically if
00:02:10.880
you've got a plan b plan a is less likely to right but even if it's just like mentally i think that's
00:02:16.260
just even part of the whole like self-sabotaging thing like when i see something going well and this
00:02:20.520
is the things that i have to constantly address in myself but when i see something going well and just
00:02:25.460
from previous relationships having fuck ups or cheating or this or that it is within my nature
00:02:31.100
to be like this is too good to be true run but that's that's because i've kind of conditioned
00:02:36.780
myself to think this isn't going to work for this for me this is a me problem and i think it's not
00:02:42.860
about expecting something to go wrong but approaching something with like i'm ready to change like i'm
00:02:48.680
ready to this is about me now like i need to approach this differently and whether this person
00:02:52.900
fucks up doesn't do it but you know okay cool that's my decision to stay in it or walk away or
00:02:58.300
i think if it's like it's just about making sure that if it doesn't go to plan then it's not going
00:03:04.960
to devastate you you have a second landing you know like it's not about planning for the worst to happen
00:03:10.780
it's just like are you going to be okay like anything could happen to that man right anything he
00:03:16.520
could get run over by a bus are you going to be okay i just noticed with women it's like we're
00:03:24.060
always preparing for the worst like what could happen he could leave like da da da da and i just
00:03:28.300
don't know if that's really like the happiest women i know in relationships aren't really thinking oh he
00:03:33.220
could die or oh he could leave like they're thinking you know i have a good one i think it's your conscious
00:03:40.740
thought right but then so long as you know like there's a core understanding that i'm not going
00:03:46.980
to be destitute if something should happen it's just like sounds like a nest egg do you know what
00:03:52.180
i mean i don't even know what you're saying like a little nest egg so an emotional nest egg emotional
00:03:58.640
how how would i build an emotional nest egg so resilience resilience yeah so are you going to be
00:04:03.900
okay if you're on your own do you know what i mean if your man leaves for any reason like are you
00:04:09.140
going to be okay i feel like sorry i feel like everything that you guys have said uh i can
00:04:14.680
understand both sides but how i see it is from when you do your part instead of thinking of oh he
00:04:21.360
might leave he might leave do your part in any situation in a relationship or friendship so however
00:04:27.080
it goes whether good or bad for you you've done your part then you can freely be happy to walk away
00:04:32.900
the only time i'd find myself from experience that um someone has left me or i have left them and i was
00:04:38.960
heartbroken to the point where i'm like oh my god i should have prepared was only because i did i
00:04:44.160
don't remember if i did my part whether i was calm when i was supposed to or communicated well so then
00:04:49.520
i will that's where that that's where the pressure comes from later on you'll be thinking did i do this
00:04:54.560
was it me but when you know you've done your part and they even hurt you or leave you it hurts a bit
00:05:00.720
it's not the men leaving it's the women the women are the ones leaving anyway how many these days
00:05:05.360
yeah how many of you how many of you have college degrees how many yes i do college degree you have
00:05:10.220
a college degree it's in circus so three three out of four if you have a college degree though if you
00:05:15.520
get divorced it's 90 chance that you leave i i didn't but why is that you're in the 10
00:05:21.300
percent i don't want to celebrate that but i want to go back to the point that you mentioned
00:05:27.380
about like i think paul you'd said i don't think there's anything else in life that we actually ever
00:05:30.740
go into preparing to fail right like if you have the mentality of this is going to go wrong and be
00:05:35.540
pessimistic naturally the outcome is going to be that it's going to fail anyway so why enter into
00:05:40.180
a relationship whereby the aim is for you to be together for the long term but you're already setting
00:05:45.780
yourself up for failure like you said my friend at the beginning it's self-sabotage and as soon as
00:05:50.660
you take accountability for that like you know i just think it's about learning like like um or
00:05:56.820
relearning for me something that i try to live by is how can i be completely committed to this
00:06:01.860
but unattached like i'm completely committed to this relationship i'm completely committed to you
00:06:08.020
but like i'm unattached to what happens like do you think men want women that are completely
00:06:12.660
unattached to what happens not really that doesn't make sense to me personally no i understand but
00:06:19.620
i've approached everything in my career everything in my life as in i'm completely committed right but
00:06:25.700
and and that's that's fine but it's just it's kind of knowing like what the buyer wants yeah you know
00:06:30.020
fair but i don't know about it always being about the buyer but as long as you feel content with
00:06:35.700
yourself yeah but i mean you have to sell it right yeah um okay i want to hear from the men do you guys
00:06:41.780
think that women can be happy single childless at 55 do you know any women that are if you know
00:06:47.220
any women that aren't let me know and we've just seen that um that tick tock video and she's not
00:06:53.300
happy if you were happy you wouldn't spend all your time doing tick tock saying how happy you are
00:06:57.860
yeah you know that's that's a serious code going on isn't it you know she's she's not happy she's just
00:07:04.580
concerned about the fact that you know um people are going to think that she's not happy so she wants to
00:07:08.980
say that she's happy the fact that she's going to you know die alone and be childless um you know
00:07:14.340
that's just something that she just wants to kind of cover up with you know traveling all around the
00:07:19.300
world and um you know banging people all over the world trying to try different ones
00:07:24.660
from that morning yeah it's like grandma what did you do like she should be a grandma at this point
00:07:33.380
yeah um what do you think yeah i agree i don't think she looks happy at all uh the whole thing
00:07:39.140
was just like bitter and resentful and what i find is that single childless women it's like women with
00:07:47.060
children are rent free in their minds all the time you know like i don't think there's any mothers that
00:07:51.940
are making tick tocks bitterly like i'm not like these single women or something you know it's
00:07:57.060
always the other way around and uh the other thing about women is it's a biological reality they're hot
00:08:04.900
when they're young then they get older and then they get uglier and we all know that man i knew i was
00:08:12.820
gonna like this guy men prefer young women and women when they get older especially once they're past the
00:08:20.180
age where they can have kids they get uglier they they get fatter their attitude is bad and listen
00:08:27.220
i mean like my mom's like over the age of 50 you know so i don't mean it like negatively i don't mean
00:08:32.180
that as like a mean thing to say but it's just what's the quality of life you want to be like a
00:08:36.820
swinger and have a good time i don't know how much of a good time you could have when you're 60 as
00:08:41.540
opposed to when you're 25 or 30 when you're 30 seems like a great idea i could live like this my whole
00:08:47.380
life fly around eat where you want have my croissant in paris but when you're 60 that's like well it's
00:08:54.020
not the same it's not the same image i don't know i feel like you give less are we allowed to say that
00:09:01.060
i think you give less bucks at 60. but that is how it is it's like in your 20s you're quite insecure
00:09:07.620
in your 30s you're kind of finding your feet a little bit and then in your 40s less bucks are given
00:09:12.900
you've got more money to fund it that's time you're losing time while you're trying to figure
00:09:17.780
out yeah but most people when they don't give a in their 60s it's because they got a
00:09:21.380
husband and a family so they don't give a what the world thinks i think it's just age
00:09:25.460
i do i just think it's just age why is she posting on tick tock for the world to see
00:09:30.580
everyone's posting on bloody the tick tock these days i can't keep up
00:09:35.780
but there's like there's lots of family um women that are posting on the tick tock
00:09:42.020
as well and they're going look at this amazing beautiful family and it's gorgeous right it's
00:09:46.900
beautiful to see and that's also this woman's experience but the whole point is if you really
00:09:52.260
don't give enough what people think why are you posting on social media at all but if the family
00:09:56.180
lady doesn't give a f um why is she posting about how many meals she can make they don't they don't
00:10:02.420
i've never seen that tick tock there's a lady with like seven kids and it's like a meal processing
00:10:08.100
line that she has oh i've seen that those kids are ugly
00:10:11.300
i think they're all adopted so i don't know where they found these guys i think i'm understanding
00:10:25.940
