00:01:01.860
Welcome to another episode of Pearl Daily here on the Audacity Network.
00:01:07.560
And today we are going to talk about how women have a tendency to ruin men's hobbies, in
00:01:17.660
However, we're going to do a little, a derail, a sidetrack, an off-topic comment from the
00:01:28.540
Because I have, it's a state of an emergency, guys.
00:01:33.000
There has been so much simping, I can't deal with it.
00:01:40.840
Michael Knowles released a clip today that he is not only doubling down on Nala being
00:01:49.800
super sorry and now a representative of Catholicism.
00:02:01.140
Michael is your most well-known representative.
00:02:18.560
Really shook the internet the first time you came on.
00:02:27.940
Okay, let me, let me, let's, is Michael, let's, let's make a prediction.
00:02:41.680
Will Michael call out the fact that she has hooker eyelashes on, a full face of makeup and
00:02:49.740
fake hair, and that in this clip right here, wait, let me find it.
00:02:57.340
In her debate on whatever, she was dressed in spandex.
00:03:10.760
Is he going to call out the fact that she raised her OnlyFans prices?
00:03:22.540
Is he going to, is he going to hold her feet to the fire the way he would a man?
00:03:27.340
Had he had a man who was a player and dating multiple women?
00:03:37.620
The way that he would hold that man's feet to the fire, is he going to do the same for Nala?
00:03:42.980
The only reason she hasn't received consequences is because she's somewhat hot.
00:03:56.460
I've never seen men fight harder for anything other than hot women's ability to be naked.
00:04:06.020
The only reason Michael Knowles didn't win the simp of the year is because we're in a simp epidemic.
00:04:24.300
This is like the pandemic, but it's like, what, is he going to win over the guy that married her?
00:04:32.660
And that's why I think we're going to make a hierarchy of simps today.
00:04:36.380
And I want you guys to help me because it's still a running, a running topic.
00:04:40.580
Look at the internet the first time you came on.
00:04:52.460
Guys like him, they're no better than the men that allow the gay flags.
00:05:04.560
He's saying, yes, fellas, here's a whore for you guys to marry.
00:05:11.540
Give her, um, give her clout and allow her to represent Christianity.
00:05:25.300
They go and they try to shame men for their tone while dying on the hill of a prostitute.
00:05:38.020
Please, if you're a Catholic, put a two in the chat.
00:05:42.660
Do you want, is this who, is this who we should allow to represent us?
00:05:51.640
People were tagging me on social media and they said, see, Michael, here's proof that she lied to you.
00:05:56.860
Everything I've said on podcasts is complete clickbait.
00:06:01.380
So what they're going to do is they're going to say, no, no, no.
00:06:04.820
She was talking about what she said before was a lie and now is totally the truth.
00:06:11.700
And the thing is, with guys like this, they either want to get laid so bad or they want to be right so bad.
00:06:18.060
But they want their religion to be right so bad that all the facts will go against what they believe.
00:06:25.000
But because they want that story to market on their show, that's what they're going to do.
00:06:32.140
That's what they're going to, they're going to push.
00:06:39.320
I mean, it's a need to be right, but in men, instead of like looking at the facts.
00:06:43.400
Is he, is he going to bring up any of the facts?
00:06:48.260
If you brought up none of the facts that I've laid out on five different live streams,
00:06:54.320
nobody from your team reached out for me with receipts.
00:07:01.300
Why didn't you bring her on with me or reclaim your throne?
00:07:13.100
What you did is you're facilitating an apology tour.
00:07:19.640
He's either, he's either an idiot or, or it's malicious and he wants to get laid.
00:07:36.680
I can't believe that it's real because then that means I can change my ways and still get
00:07:47.180
So her, her argument is nobody's allowed to question if it's real because of her actions,
00:07:56.260
but it's because we don't think that we can be saved.
00:08:20.280
And then on top of that, the men are going to fight for me.
00:08:23.760
They're all going to fight with each other and argue over if I'm sincere.
00:08:29.760
I can bring in my simp husband in and this other simp that's like the equivalent of,
00:08:36.040
I don't know, the pastor or the theology teacher, whatever.
00:08:39.840
And they're going to die on the hill of letting me be a hooker.
00:08:51.020
People have criticized you because they say, you made all this money.
00:08:59.760
Now, is he going to say, he, did you see this simpidemic?
00:09:14.800
I actually Googled this the other day that there's more Catholic women than men.
00:09:23.180
It's barely, it's closer than a lot of other religions.
00:09:41.840
He said, they say that there should be a penance.
00:09:46.980
He's saying that he can't take ownership and say, I'm a Catholic.
00:09:54.520
Why don't you give, like, he has to blame it on everyone else.
00:10:16.780
And I got to find some of the, I want to do a hierarchy of simping.
00:10:39.620
We're not completely done with who's the hierarchy of simps.
00:10:43.160
So, the way I think I'm going to do it here is I want to make the top the least simpy, guys.
00:11:08.220
Somebody who worships women and really just gives women whatever they want, regardless of the consequence,
00:11:50.720
So, these are guys that put up, put up with wives not sleeping with them.
00:12:12.880
So, they say, you can be as terrible as you want.
00:12:21.540
But I will, simp equals putting women on a pedestal.
00:12:28.860
These are the guys that say, happy wife, happy life.
00:12:38.740
Number two, but, you know, at least these guys, they might get a kid out of the deal.
00:12:44.780
I mean, at least they're getting a kid or something.
00:12:46.620
So, next on the simp is guys that are friends with women, with women for nothing in return.
00:13:00.580
Now, what I'm not talking about, there are men that do get things out of friendships with, or they're women friends.
00:13:14.400
I'm talking about the guys that have been in love with a girl for years and accept that friendship.
00:13:21.880
They have no self-esteem, so they just, I deserve nothing in return.
00:13:42.080
And I want to give credit because MancoSmash on Twitter gave me, he gave me a lot of these.
00:13:49.320
So, I do like to give credit where credit is due.
00:13:51.340
So, pay for OF, tips, you know, messages for OF.
00:14:04.120
So, the guys that pay for OnlyFans, strippers, et cetera, they are super simps, but they're getting something in return.
00:14:15.360
You know, I mean, they use those women as therapists, or they use those women to make, like, special videos for them.
00:14:24.100
You guys all think you're above the OnlyFans models.
00:14:27.220
Like, the men that you, you guys, you'll all say, oh, those guys that pay for OnlyFans.
00:14:42.180
Now, next on the, on the totem pole, or the white knights.
00:14:52.660
So, these are the guys, like Michael Knowles, who fight for women they're getting nothing from.
00:15:00.420
So, they say, you know, you're not giving me sex, a kid, or anything, but I'm gonna, I'm gonna white knight and fight for you.
00:15:24.860
These are the men, like Nala's new man, where they marry women that have done sex work in the past.
00:15:33.760
And, now there's two forms of cucks that are at the top.
00:15:51.140
Now, the cucks two, you know, they're actually a little bit more accepting of female nature than, like, I don't know, the guys, the white knights.
00:16:03.540
They're like, she's gonna leave and cheat anyway.
00:16:05.660
I might as well get sex from her twice a week, but I'm also gonna cheat.
00:16:11.800
So, Lauren Southern, she was a conservative commentator who married a Christian guy.
00:16:17.860
She cheated on her husband with Destiny, who was in an open relationship.
00:16:24.300
Now, Destiny, his wife banged other dudes, but he was also banging other hot women.
00:16:35.380
Or Destiny, whose wife was getting dug out by other dudes, but he was also cheating?
00:16:39.660
So, cuck two are guys that their wives get dug out, but they also dig other women out.
00:16:46.260
Cuck one are the men that accept cheating, so they're in a relationship, the woman's cheating,
00:16:54.080
and or the men that literally let the women sleep with someone else in front of them.
00:17:01.540
Now, I'm open to adding more things, but this is just our original ballpark.
00:17:13.640
So, if you guys have any thoughts on where the hierarchy of simps, who should be added, moved,
00:17:23.100
but it's essentially, you know, pretty much all I got right now.
00:17:44.900
Let me read the chat right now, and then we'll get into today's topic.
00:17:48.820
I'm sorry I had to derail, but this is too big of news.
00:17:54.100
I better see, like, 10 Catholic streamers calling this out.
00:18:05.780
I'm really, I'm not, I don't want to represent here.
00:18:10.120
But I know a bunch of Catholic streamers, okay?
00:18:36.580
Roger just signed up for the monthly memberships.
00:18:44.340
And, guys, sometimes when I call out these women, they try to ruin my life.
00:18:55.580
You haven't seen a guy, wife in a home, and thought hierarchy of simps.
00:19:16.000
I don't know if she's going to send her simp army after me.
00:19:18.140
So it's really important that I can be YouTube free
00:19:20.900
and not have to be dependent on an app that pushes me off.
00:19:25.420
I got to get, if I get one yearly membership a show, I'm YouTube free,
00:19:32.660
Then I can, when YouTube gets on a phone with me,
00:19:50.600
the other thing that simps have a tendency to do
00:19:53.100
is they have a tendency to fight for what women want
00:19:56.780
and not in the best interest of men and their own gender.
00:20:01.900
They do this because they want attention from women,
00:20:08.180
So they simp, you know, they don't want to get fired.
00:20:16.100
Now, the other day I did a show about how women don't have hobbies.
00:20:19.320
And we looked at a lot of videos of modern women admitting that they're just boring.
00:20:23.260
The problem with dating or marrying one of these women is that for a man,
00:20:28.320
they have nothing else to do but complain about what the man is doing.
00:20:34.220
I mean, guys, how many times have you been in a relationship with a woman
00:20:37.880
and she's constantly nagging you to get off of your game council,
00:20:41.500
stop going to the gym, and just to spend more time with her.
00:20:45.520
And you ask yourself, what is she doing all day?
00:20:48.860
Why can't she find something to do to just leave me alone for a couple of hours?
00:20:54.860
I was looking back at this show and I was thinking about how the number one hobby
00:20:59.400
that women don't like when it comes to their men would be video games.
00:21:03.400
No other male hobby is demonized as much as video games.
00:21:08.240
You see entire podcasts of women complaining that their boyfriend's husband
00:21:12.160
or partner spends too much time playing video games and it's crazy.
00:21:16.640
These women should be glad that their boyfriend is at home
00:21:19.560
playing video games instead of out sleeping with other women.
00:21:23.840
Last year, Liz Wheeler, a popular conservative commentator,
00:21:27.500
put out a chart that showed the least attractive hobbies that a man can have to women
00:21:36.320
People argued back and forth in the comments section about whether video games
00:22:06.540
It says, there's no source for the reported finding and the percentages are rounded
00:22:10.920
even to the nearest multiple of five, which is impossible.
00:22:21.880
So what I'm hearing from Liz Wheeler is Elon Musk is now a deal breaker because he plays
00:22:35.060
I want to see Liz Wheeler telling Elon Musk on a podcast that he can't play video games
00:22:45.740
Girl Gamer tells women why their men play video games all day.
00:22:53.120
Why your man is always playing his damn video games.
00:22:57.240
Dear upset significant other, I am here to tell you why your man seems like all he does
00:23:05.140
From girl to girl, let me tell you, it's not you.
00:23:08.320
I have been online gaming for many years, although my fiance is not much of a gamer.
00:23:12.380
And he had a hard time understanding why I could sit and play a single game for hours
00:23:20.440
When there was many times in our relationship, I would rather play my game than watch a movie
00:23:27.680
I feel like men are not good at explaining why they enjoy gaming and women aren't good
00:23:32.140
at understanding because they never got an explanation when asked.
00:23:36.740
As a girl and a gamer, I'm here to let you know what's inside their brain.
00:23:40.660
First off, because they game does not mean they don't love you.
00:23:45.400
I am going to go into what I love about gaming and hopefully you can understand why your man
00:23:52.260
When I first started gaming, I found it as a place I could be myself and I didn't have
00:23:58.340
I enjoy talking to and playing with others who are just like me.
00:24:01.600
Sometimes you need that place where you can go to have fun and it's a good time every
00:24:10.520
Some people like me cannot stand to having to act like an adult 24-7.
00:24:14.980
If you are with someone who loves to compete, well, there you go.
00:24:17.880
Nothing is better than chilling out and showing some people who is boss.
00:24:22.640
Online gaming are so competitive that there's a rush that comes when you're trying to prove
00:24:31.640
Now I know what you're thinking, WTF, but seriously, most of the multiplayers I know
00:24:36.860
are in, I play are involved in lots of strategy.
00:24:41.620
I'm always thinking of ways I could have done something better in a match or coming up for
00:24:48.100
I thought about all these things at work, the hair salon and getting my nails done.
00:24:53.300
Strategy and problem solving can be so driving.
00:25:00.240
I have always looked at my gaming friends as some of the best friends I've ever had.
00:25:07.900
But still, I have met some amazing people and have gamed with the same people for 10
00:25:12.760
With that being said, it's hard to retire the controller.
00:25:15.600
So when you have one of your best friends calling you to ask you to F some shit up with
00:25:20.500
them, it's just almost like turning down, you turning down a lunch or a coffee date with
00:25:27.880
After a long and stressful day, there's nothing better than hopping on your favorite game
00:25:38.560
I could have the worst days and 99% of the time would feel better after I played my video
00:25:44.220
It's definitely a diversion from the negative things you do in your everyday life.
00:25:48.880
I understand if you have a couch potato, no job having gamer boy.
00:25:53.320
But my advice is to then drop his deadbeat ass.
00:25:56.920
But if you have a hardworking man who pays his bills and enjoys his games, let it go.
00:26:03.280
His gaming is nothing to do with not loving you.
00:26:07.580
Now, women hate video games so much that there are stories of women that had to break up with
00:26:27.540
People are sharing heartbreaking stories about how video games became the breaking point in
00:26:34.120
Immersing yourself in a video game is like no other feeling.
00:26:38.160
It's exciting to step into someone's shoes and live a life full of drama, thrills, and
00:26:44.120
However, the fun hobby can turn into an addiction.
00:26:47.040
When somebody begins to lose control over the amount of time that they spend gaming, it
00:26:53.320
negatively impacts their self-care, schooling, and relationships.
00:26:57.940
Reddit user, the goddess Pluto, I'm sure she is stable, a woman who broke up with someone
00:27:09.020
due to video games, what was your breaking point?
00:27:11.220
It was definitely interesting to see the range of stories from people prioritizing gaming over
00:27:19.520
Two cases of addiction that were sad for everyone involved.
00:27:24.140
One, I dated a man who never seemed to have a problem with video games until well into the
00:27:30.120
Every day, he started choosing games over being intimate or sleeping next to me.
00:27:36.060
I don't want to, okay, so if your guy, let me get this straight, if your guy wanted to
00:27:45.280
play video games over having sex with you, that might be a you problem.
00:27:58.780
None of the, not the sole reason, but definitely started the end of our relationship.
00:28:03.300
We were living with his parents while we waited for an apartment.
00:28:06.020
I would get up, drive an hour to work just to make no money as a server, come back exhausted,
00:28:11.900
Unemployed, obviously, he had stock, but he had stocks.
00:28:14.700
What if he was, like, rich and she didn't know it were the stocks?
00:28:25.200
I literally begged him just to make the bed for a week straight.
00:28:28.200
He would continue to play the game after I was home.
00:28:32.820
Guys that don't understand women, what they'll do is they'll think if they do these things
00:28:38.580
The guys that have dated a lot, they know it doesn't matter.
00:28:42.780
It was, she didn't like something about him or whatever.
00:28:48.800
I came home and I tried to show him the energy that I didn't have.
00:28:51.780
He could clock 100 hours a week without thinking anything was wrong with it.
00:28:57.520
Doug in the chat, guys, if you want your chat read, go to www.theaudacitynetwork.com.
00:29:03.580
The link is in, the first link in the chat, and we have it on both app stores.
00:29:08.600
What Doug says, well into the relationship means she got fat.
00:29:23.100
We finally had a weekend free where we were both going to be free.
00:29:26.700
He said to leave my day open because we were going on a date and he was planning it.
00:29:30.420
On the day off, I woke up and he said he wanted to sleep in.
00:29:33.620
And five minutes later, he said that his friends called him to play a game.
00:29:36.980
In three minutes, he was ready and heading out of the house.
00:29:41.280
He said it would just be a few hours and he left.
00:29:47.100
He left and I took myself out to breakfast and decided to be done.
00:29:50.360
By the time he got home, none of his things were in our bedroom.
00:29:53.160
He tried to tell me I was exaggerating and blowing things out of proportion.
00:29:57.500
He should go play games at his friend's house again.
00:30:02.740
So I took the following weekend to find a new place and he was in shock.
00:30:07.000
Why would you go see a place and sign a lease without me?
00:30:14.840
I'm just, when I'm confused, it's why, why are you?
00:30:26.460
Like that's, they don't say why they're really breaking up with the guy.
00:30:29.840
Because if a woman likes a man, she likes his nerdy hobbies.
00:30:57.880
So they didn't have sex in over a year and he was begging for her back.
00:31:16.420
I mean, this wasn't a wife, but if they're living together and not sleeping with him,
00:31:26.920
I was tired of feeling single, so I wasn't making it official and it wasn't my concern
00:31:32.040
He tried to make me feel crazy and that he was the victim.
00:31:35.160
So I moved out early and blocked him on everything.
00:31:40.080
Doug is going to say, I can guarantee Pearl's never going to say Ronald Dolfel's right.
00:31:48.880
My girl was getting a little blessed and she started working out because I lost weight.
00:31:53.920
Oh, wait, where did, I think I missed something.
00:31:59.120
Ike said she broke up with him because she found somebody else at work.
00:32:06.680
Uh, Pearl, she wanted to nag at him over breakfast and dinner for no reason.
00:32:11.160
She broke up with him, but she found somebody else at work.
00:32:14.540
She eventually learned, uh, fritto pie and so I couldn't lose hope.
00:32:19.720
Well, I bought a year from YouTube ads, so YouTube paid you.
00:32:29.060
Pearl, she wanted to rip his soul out and women who do this get kicked out for life.
00:32:34.880
Damien says, being in emotional bonds is extremely painful for men who are continually,
00:32:39.280
who are continually busy with the real cares of life.
00:32:43.240
Women want total focus to validate their emotional needs.
00:32:48.280
Men want to, I think he's typing the next part.
00:32:53.420
How many of you would beg for a woman to stay that wasn't sleeping with you?
00:32:58.240
Please put a one, I want, I want a one in the chat if you've done it.
00:33:05.060
Please, please, I don't want, I am, you guys cap sometimes and I don't need that.
00:33:16.540
And I'll allow a three if you've done it before, but you've, you're reformed.
00:33:22.260
One said he's done it if she's paying for the bills.
00:33:25.960
That's a little, I actually think the ultimate alpha is a guy that gets women to have sex with
00:33:31.960
them and pay their bills because who else is getting more out of a woman?
00:33:52.660
Men want to fulfill this need, but are limited by the concerns of life.
00:34:02.140
Brian on the website says, too, he's never done it.
00:34:07.220
Come on, none of you were in high school, high school girlfriend.
00:34:12.200
Anyways, I've had two exes that I felt prioritized video games and Twitch streaming over the relationship.
00:34:18.860
I love video games, too, but it has not gotten to the point, gotten in the way of spending
00:34:25.400
My first boyfriend won't talk to me when I had put my sick dog down because he was too
00:34:36.260
Now, number one, I would argue that social media is more detrimental to women than video
00:34:47.300
And more women go out of real life interactions to go on social media than the other way around.
00:34:53.620
In a two-year relationship, I lost count of how many jobs he lost because he kept showing
00:35:06.380
My next boyfriend would often lie about going to bed so he could game with his lady friends
00:35:12.340
And he would blow off social occasions with me or my family so he could stick to his stream
00:35:18.560
Well, okay, you guys realize that men don't really want to hang out with our families.
00:35:25.700
They're not really dying to go to all these events on the weekends.
00:35:30.860
I think that women, this is a working theory I have, so you guys, you guys, we can bounce
00:35:40.840
So what they do is they never, like, we need more power in case the relationship goes south.
00:35:50.860
It's like, if you're doing behavior I don't like, I want to be able to leave and go sleep
00:35:59.060
And the thing is, they have to keep close family ties.
00:36:02.400
And also, women have power in groups because women's power tends to be manipulation.
00:36:13.140
And that's, like, why we like the cities, why men like the country, because they see
00:36:19.540
Usually problems, it's groups that women are in.
00:36:22.720
Like, you know, when it's an all-male group, there are problems, but men kind of sort themselves
00:36:28.740
I mean, they'll beat up a guy if he's acting up enough.
00:36:35.800
Not that, I know it's not legal to do it to a guy either, but, I mean, they're less likely
00:36:47.120
Now, anyways, I have a working theory that women need their families involved in their
00:36:57.220
And they do that to have a backup plan and a way of enforcement to the man, because they
00:37:04.120
don't want to listen to the guys, so they have to have the dad get involved or the friends
00:37:07.680
get involved or whoever get involved to get what they want, because women are too lazy
00:37:21.720
I'm going to do a show on this when I flushed it out more, but if you guys have thoughts
00:37:25.400
on that topic, put them in the comments, please.
00:37:27.220
Um, my boyfriend would go to work late in the morning or early afternoon, do his job while
00:37:33.920
the boss was there, and then as soon as the boss left, he started playing video games
00:37:38.400
Many times I'd call him and tell him I was going to go ahead and eat dinner, then call
00:37:43.620
Then around midnight, I'd call and say, please don't miss the last bus.
00:37:46.540
He'd wake up in the morning under his desk and look presentable when his boss walked in.
00:37:52.620
Rich on the website says, one holiday dinner, I ate dinner with 40 of her family members
00:38:06.960
Doug says, too many men think you think our alphas are alphas everywhere except in their
00:38:22.620
T-Carp says, I've talked to my friends about this.
00:38:26.700
If their wife isn't sleeping with them, they have to argue that they can't make life comfortable
00:38:32.980
And we are talking about alpha men, that group where they're in the military.
00:38:37.140
They would just, I think they would just bow down and never argue with women.
00:38:41.520
You have to be able to hold your own in an argument.
00:38:49.220
It'll be like men that are, you know, there'll be like kickboxers or like men you never would
00:39:00.860
Like I've seen men simp that literally beat people up for a living.
00:39:08.860
And they would never, like if a guy said the wrong thing to them, they would beat the shit
00:39:20.620
I think most men would take a punch in the face over a woman trying to destroy their
00:39:28.960
I mean, put a, let me know what you guys would prefer.
00:39:31.160
I'm not saying you have to pick, but if you had to pick.
00:39:35.100
Getting knocked out, like a stone cold knockout, but you don't die.
00:39:38.860
And you have no, no brain injuries, but it hurts like a bitch.
00:39:42.440
Or two, a woman that you went, you dated and it went bad and she went into all of your social
00:40:01.080
Doug says the former UFC fighter, John Fitch talked about his ex-wife.
00:40:24.780
I used to be a gamer and even worked at GameStop when I was in my early 20s.
00:40:30.400
I tried to play with him, but he's such a sore loser.
00:40:32.480
He would throw tantrums and constantly complain.
00:40:35.180
Calling the game a cheater or saying it was glitch.
00:40:37.120
He would get upset if my character did better or had a superior class set up skills, artifacts,
00:40:44.880
When I started having dreams about destroying his gaming council with an axe, I realized that
00:40:49.400
my current scenario was unhealthy for both of us.
00:40:52.920
I realized that my current boyfriend plays games and is judicial about the time he spends
00:40:59.860
on it and will absolutely turn it off when I started having dreams about destroying his game council
00:41:14.580
I realized my current scenario was unhealthy for both of us.
00:41:18.140
My current boyfriend plays games, but is judicial about the time he spends on it and will absolutely
00:41:23.620
turn it off if I express a desire to do something together.
00:41:27.500
He wouldn't answer his phone for hours at a time, like three to five hours, because he
00:41:35.160
Even in the midst of something important happening, it all came to a head when I was supposed to
00:41:41.600
He knew I was on the way, driving from an hour away.
00:41:45.180
I didn't have the address when I was meeting him, and he wasn't responding to any calls or
00:41:50.620
I ended up breaking up with him because I couldn't be in a relationship with someone I saw as a child.
00:41:54.440
If your main priority seems to be video games and not the adult human woman in your life,
00:42:09.140
Everyone's saying one in the chat on the website.
00:42:17.120
But if you're on the, make sure you hit the like button.
00:42:26.080
I have a friend that hates Trump, and he was in the Marines for 30 years.
00:42:31.200
Plus, he lives in Ohio, which is a Republican state.
00:42:34.740
Richard, I've been stone-called, knocked out, and I've been attacked by a scorned woman,
00:42:40.960
Doug says, the things that I disagree with on Trump about, I think he's going to do a
00:42:49.620
I think most of our dads, mine included, were that 90s Christian dad taught to be a servant
00:42:55.740
We are doing what we were taught and waking up after we see 30 to 40 years of that in
00:43:05.260
All right, next, we're going to talk about women, what to do if he's heavily into video
00:43:15.420
How many people, I wonder, do you guys think this woman's going to advise to just let him
00:43:29.160
I'm an avid fan, and you and David become a cuter couple with every video.
00:43:35.740
Usually, if they're public-facing and they do couples content, usually the woman runs
00:43:41.640
You can tell if you watch close enough, but that's usually how it goes.
00:43:46.760
Recently, I've been a bit estranged from my man because he feels I don't understand his
00:43:53.680
I do my best to not make him feel controlled, letting him play when he wants to.
00:44:05.260
Like, they're like, oh, I'd never let my woman do that.
00:44:17.860
But having him need to see me and appreciate the depth, inspiration, and heart he feels
00:44:23.900
some games have given or have is going too far for me.
00:44:28.420
He even wishes I would play a bit so that I would stop assuming he's doing something shallow
00:44:32.880
Is it not enough that I can leave him alone when he's playing and not complain after?
00:44:42.560
But now I feel controlled and unappreciated simply for not seeing gaming the way he and
00:44:56.880
Do you think she forces him to be a part of her hobbies, like telling him about celebrity
00:45:03.640
gossip or whatever BS, you know, we follow every day?
00:45:09.400
Should I try harder to understand his hobbies or am I wise in staying out of his interests?
00:45:14.140
I feel many women struggle with men who love video games a lot.
00:45:17.500
I don't know if David loves gaming, but most women I know whose men love it.
00:45:22.780
It is frequently a struggle for her in some way.
00:45:25.360
Would you like me to answer directly or answer it in a post up to you?
00:45:31.120
But I would love to share your insights on how women should handle men and their love,
00:45:37.700
It can be an extremely delicate subject for men, making them put up their defenses easily.
00:45:47.560
You contributed to helping Mike and I stay as strong as we do.
00:46:01.800
I laughed when you said he wants you to appreciate the depth and heart that some video games have.
00:46:07.960
Years ago, David used to play video games a lot, sometimes until late,
00:46:11.840
and he had to wake up at 6 a.m. the next day for work.
00:46:14.800
I feel it was his way of escaping from his job when he felt trapped in and hated.
00:46:19.540
You've obviously struggled with this in the past way before you emailed me.
00:46:22.900
What I'm saying is you've struggled to understand why on earth he has to be so involved and distracted by video games
00:46:31.140
To you as a woman, most video games are not full of depth or heart.
00:46:35.980
You see depth in terms of human interactions and relationships.
00:46:38.880
So you'd rather he come over to you and give you his presence and love you deeply.
00:46:46.200
When I first wrote this article 10 years ago, I was of belief that the masculine soul video games are a superficial way to meet your needs.
00:46:54.840
I think intuitively, us women assume that video games are a shallow way of expressing their masculinity and feeling successful.
00:47:02.240
After all, you have to turn the game off and get back to real life somehow.
00:47:06.240
Yet after being married to my game-loving husband and having three sons with him,
00:47:09.560
I've come to appreciate certain things about video games.
00:47:12.520
I will discuss these things very soon, but I wanted to first quickly address your need to not be around him when he plays them.
00:47:17.980
For a lot of women, we'd rather not be around our men when he plays video games because we'd rather see him doing something more constructive.
00:47:25.020
Even if our man is already successful and constructive out in the real world,
00:47:29.680
it still hurts to be around him when he is actively playing video games instead of giving you attention.
00:47:39.400
Who said you can downgrade me to watching you play video games and playing video games with you?
00:47:44.680
David used to ask me to play video games as well,
00:47:49.460
and since I wanted intimacy with him instead, it felt like my needs were being dishonored, so I can relate.
00:47:54.940
However, I can look back over the last 16 years of being with him.
00:47:58.560
Some of the better times I had with him were when we played video games together.
00:48:02.720
Only, it's just the bond that was nice, because I was horrible at them.
00:48:06.760
Getting good at the game took so much energy out of me.
00:48:09.180
I realized that I just didn't come naturally to me as it did to him.
00:48:12.480
He loves playing video games with my sons as well,
00:48:15.720
and though they don't really spend much time playing games at all,
00:48:18.620
whenever they do play games, I'm often ushering them off to read a book or go to the playground as soon as I can.
00:48:25.200
But it was when he finally said to me that I understood.
00:48:28.620
I like my boys playing games because it's good practice for them to learn to solve problems.
00:48:34.240
He also mentioned that it helps them read even more outside of the reading they already do,
00:48:38.720
because having to read the story in a game or read the instructions in the game
00:48:43.240
gives them an internal motivator to want to read more.
00:48:46.320
So even though I really understood whenever a woman says to me,
00:48:49.680
my boyfriend plays video games, more than he talks to me, I can't stand it.
00:48:54.040
I am now unable to help her understand that there's something,
00:48:57.200
there's a special something about video games that is super important to the men who love them,
00:49:01.620
and it's this, to men, video games do have depth because it's an avenue through which they get to feel express
00:49:12.100
In other words, they were able to kill to solve problems and overcome challenges inside of the video game
00:49:17.560
in a way that life may not always really readily provide to them.
00:49:22.520
In this way, it's not different to us women buying dozens of shoes or dresses when we hardly wear any of them.
00:49:29.940
We appear to be wasting our money on pointless, but though it seems pointless to men, it isn't to us,
00:49:38.440
because we get to have the option of wearing shoes that best express our mood
00:49:42.900
and the feminine energy flavor we are feeling on that day.
00:49:50.060
It may be excessive in the eyes of our boyfriend or husband, and he may not appreciate it,
00:49:58.120
but I don't believe we should condemn it because in moderation,
00:50:00.980
and it may actually allow us to express our feminine energy.
00:50:05.760
So now I'm going to help you understand his need for games,
00:50:08.100
and I'll give my thoughts on what steps to take.
00:50:11.660
Video games are an easy way for men to feel successful.
00:50:15.280
It's kind of like women emptying their bank accounts and buy all the clothes and shoes and accessories
00:50:20.060
and makeup they could hardly ever wear in order to feel beautiful and magnify their radiance.
00:50:25.620
Obviously, the best way for a woman to magnify her radiance would be to become a woman who radiates love from within.
00:50:32.980
No amount of clothing is ever a replacement for that.
00:50:36.240
All the while, her man is getting stressed out and feeling disrespected
00:50:39.480
because she's spending out all the money rather than giving him the love and appreciation he wants,
00:50:44.940
which would be one of the secrets to actually making her more beautiful to him, in his mind anyway.
00:50:51.340
Are you wondering why my boyfriend wants me to play video games with him?
00:50:58.780
As men bond with each other by overcoming challenges and engaging in a purpose or mission together,
00:51:09.420
it's a classic case of men wanting their women to think more like them
00:51:14.340
so that they can connect and relate more with you.
00:51:16.640
It's no different to women trying to drag their men along shopping with them.
00:51:23.200
On one hand, he wants to feel more connected to you
00:51:25.340
because he feels like you don't understand him on his level,
00:51:29.720
He feels this will make you understand him, develop a connection, and a sense of commodity.
00:51:40.560
All right, Pearl, simping isn't a good move for getting married,
00:51:56.260
Pearl, real stuff a man who plays games and has a child isn't good.
00:52:03.540
It's better to play board games with your child to teach them strategies.
00:52:07.680
Who are you to tell a guy what he can do in his house?
00:52:15.700
Okay, Pearl Reed, not sure if you saw this TikTok trend
00:52:19.920
where women would ask their men how to get into their hobbies
00:52:23.920
and the man's eyes would light up like a kid on Christmas.
00:52:32.100
You want to know when I knew I was going to marry my wife,
00:52:53.000
when your boyfriend plays video games for hours.
00:52:57.040
Sit with him for 10 to 15 minutes and watch his game.
00:53:04.640
If you can even pick up what he does, you have to look carefully.
00:53:08.700
If I ever do this, sometimes I miss his victory moment
00:53:15.920
As a woman, I'm not really into these kind of things.
00:53:20.360
Yes, they're superficial, but fighting it won't help you get closer.
00:53:24.200
And when he shoots someone dead or whatever triumph he overcomes,
00:53:27.520
just say something like, whoa, that's so cool or well done.
00:53:32.240
Okay, it will make him feel appreciated and understood
00:53:35.520
because his own woman is the one who recognizes his victories,
00:53:43.240
You don't want to dishonor your own needs as a woman.
00:53:47.140
It also does nothing for the growth of the relationship.
00:53:49.460
After 15 minutes or so are up, obviously don't obsessively this time.
00:53:58.460
You want to be genuine about it and really put yourself in his shoes.
00:54:02.280
Then get up and say, you know what, I'm going to read a book
00:54:04.580
or I'm going to go call a girlfriend now because I feel a bit lonely.
00:54:07.300
If he tries to get you to stay, you don't have to keep staying.
00:54:10.960
You should still be free to honor your own need for intimacy,
00:54:14.700
especially since it's good for your relationship to fill up your soul
00:54:25.240
you'll appreciate the depth and heart of the game.
00:54:28.380
I do what I do very often when these high tension situations pop up.
00:54:35.320
oh yeah, come shopping with me and my girlfriends for the day.
00:54:38.320
We can buy some pretty dresses and look a wide array of soaps
00:54:44.700
And I do this just to break the pattern and make them go, huh?
00:54:52.180
and it breaks the pattern of him trying to get you to do guy things.
00:55:09.160
I actually usually like this couple, but they are simping right here.
00:55:19.480
so it'll be under two hours as of right this second.
00:55:24.080
But I want to talk about the video game thing a little bit.
00:55:26.840
One of the emails was talking about the dude playing video games.
00:55:32.520
He used to play video games as a form of escape.
00:55:35.600
I don't remember who I was watching or listening to.
00:55:38.340
There was a conversation of drugs got brought up
00:55:41.180
And people who take drugs to escape their reality,
00:56:22.720
and said that people who play video games for 6, 10,
00:56:26.900
you know, 12 hours a day or do it every single day
00:56:35.700
And we see people on TikTok constantly saying that
00:56:38.700
my husband just plays video games all day long.
00:56:50.160
There's a scenario in that when you really think about it,
00:57:04.660
We go out and do photography once or twice a week
00:57:36.340
It's no different than somebody coming home from work
00:57:38.080
and getting on a console and ignoring your family,
00:58:16.300
But when you are doing it for eight hours a day
00:59:08.880
I used to play Skyrim eight to ten hours a day.
00:59:32.500
and just started facing that shit head on process.
01:00:07.700
Okay, well, sometimes there's a baby in the car.
01:00:14.780
but it wasn't like we were neglecting our lives
01:01:01.420
And I know he's just probably playing video games
01:01:35.220
and he's not giving you the attention that you want.
01:01:44.460
I have worked with thousands and thousands of men
01:02:15.020
That was someone he was kind of portraying to be
01:02:30.220
So please understand that guy in the beginning,
01:02:44.000
please understand you're not going to change this man.
02:01:47.220
protect the women there it's too much work like
