Summary
In this episode of Reaction Series, I'm reacting to an article written by Alexander Grace about why he thinks young guys are 'screwed' and why women like to eat more than they like men. I'm in Fiji, snorkelling in the South Pacific, and I've had a lot of time to reflect on it all.
Transcript
00:00:00.000
Back when I was dating, women were not particularly politically interested.
1.00
00:00:06.800
But nowadays, it seems like every woman has got so many, like, opinions.
00:00:15.480
So today, I'm going to be reacting to Alexander Grace,
00:00:18.260
one of the OG content creators in the Red Pill space.

00:00:24.180
But today, we are reacting to a title called Young Guys Are So Screwed.
00:00:27.900
And I want to know why this guy thinks Young Guys Are Screwed.
00:00:32.880
Call this video, like, you young guys are screwed or something like that.
0.96
00:00:51.880
And I came on this holiday just to get some sun.
00:00:55.440
It's Australian winter at the moment and do some snorkeling.
00:01:06.220
I've sort of eaten dinner every single night with various travelers from around the world
00:01:12.900
And that has given me a new insight into what you young guys are dealing with
00:01:22.600
I thought I might just talk through some of the stuff that I've seen.
00:01:29.360
So the first is that the women, they're so overweight.
1.00
00:01:34.360
I don't know what the politically correct term is to say it.
00:01:37.820
But you would think, or I would think, that between like 18 and 25,
00:01:41.920
that would be when you'd want to be like in really good shape.
00:01:45.940
It is astounding to me how many women are just so chunky.
1.00
00:01:51.680
Like you think, come to Fiji, go to a beach resort.
00:01:55.700
You know, there'll be lots of, you know, women in bikinis.
1.00
00:01:59.240
No, man, you don't want to look like it's rough.
00:02:05.640
I've also noticed that there's a lot of single women.
1.00
00:02:08.960
Yeah, so women like eating more than they like men.
1.00
00:02:12.500
And I want you guys to, I want you to understand this isn't personal, right?
00:02:21.980
Like it has nothing to do with the men, but everything to do with us.
00:02:25.680
We're just not, we're like hateful creatures.
0.98
00:02:30.960
And, you know, but what we do love is a Big Mac from McDonald's.

I mean, when people are fat, they're basically saying, I like eating more than I like sex.
00:03:59.180
That's the message that they're sending, right?
00:04:01.420
I prefer to eat than I prefer the opposite gender.
1.00
00:04:07.740
And I think more power, it's better that women are ruining their own lives than yours, fellas.
1.00
00:04:12.760
I mean, that's really how we got to look at it.
00:04:14.640
I mean, your grandfathers, your fathers, they had women ruin their life.
1.00
00:04:18.820
Where now, women just ruin our own lives before we have the chance to ruin yours, too.
1.00
00:04:28.920
I might fact check when I get home whether or not single women are more likely to be traveling
1.00
00:04:36.920
Part of me thinks that there must just be men at home who know that.
00:04:40.500
By the way, what I've heard from some of my guy friends that stay in hostels, if you like
00:04:46.140
to hook up with hot girls all over the world that travel, it's a great place.
1.00
00:04:51.860
Because you have to understand, women are very reputation guarded.
1.00
00:04:54.460
So, the more you guys can appease women's want to save our reputation, the more laid you get,
0.94
00:05:05.080
So, you know, there's some guys that are smart.
00:05:07.180
They live next to, like, hostels or places women are traveling.
1.00
00:05:10.500
If women are traveling, that's when women like to, you know, throw it back.
1.00
00:05:18.920
If she does it in her friend group, she's got to think, oh, he might tell her or she
00:05:22.540
might tell him, you know, if she throws it back in another country, you're never going
00:05:29.460
And so, they're just working hard and they're grinding.
00:05:32.920
But the resort is completely filled with single women, either traveling by themselves or in,
0.99
00:05:39.160
And all of them are progressive in their politics.
00:05:43.340
Now, most people are going to have some conservative policy positions, some progressive.
00:05:48.220
I'm not saying that that's necessarily indicative.
00:05:50.680
But, I mean, I'm never going to start a conversation or hopefully steer a conversation towards Donald
00:05:57.720
Why are so many European women, like, talking to me, a complete stranger about this?
1.00
00:06:05.620
Because I think there's something wrong with us.
00:06:23.220
The difference, though, is that you've got to know your audience.
00:06:27.820
So, you've got to know what people you can bring stuff like that up with.
00:06:35.400
I'm guessing he's talking about the abortion and whatever, Trump, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:41.900
Back when I was dating, women were not particularly politically interested.
1.00
00:06:48.500
But nowadays, it seems like every woman has got so many, like, opinions.
00:06:56.440
I always found it was a good way to get out of any conversation to just end it as if I start
00:07:07.740
As far as I can tell, none of these women are interested in having children of their own.
1.00
00:07:16.420
It is interesting in the conversations how one-sided they are.
00:07:20.820
I don't know if it's just a general conversational skill deficit that young people have, but I
00:07:30.940
Like, it feels like I'm always directing the conversation, you know?
00:07:34.040
Somebody will say something and I've got, like, five ideas in my mind of, like, oh, I
00:07:38.100
can ask them about this and ask them about that.
00:07:40.320
And so, I have, like, long conversations with people.
00:07:43.720
But, you know, I can end a conversation that's been going for over an hour and I'm thinking,
00:07:47.740
I don't think they know my name, I don't think they know anything about me.
00:07:51.000
For whatever reason, these people, these young women, they just seem so content to talk about
1.00
00:07:59.000
Just, oh, like, he's asking me questions and talking about myself and my life.
00:08:05.020
It's like it doesn't occur to them to ask questions either.
00:08:09.120
The exception to that, I will find, in the demographic of women that I have really enjoyed speaking
00:08:19.560
So, I've chatted with a number of couples as well, and that's been enjoyable.
00:08:26.720
But another interesting phenomenon is there's also been a number of women who have traveled
00:08:35.920
I don't know why he's happy for her to go on a, you know, luck.
00:08:39.740
It's not happy, but sometimes the guys just, like, accept it, you know?
00:08:48.280
But even so, the women who have boyfriends at home, I have consistently found to be much
1.00
00:08:53.120
more pleasant to interact with, which, unfortunately, I feel like is confirmation of what I've said
00:08:58.260
in my videos before, which is that a lot of the good women, they're already taken.
1.00
00:09:04.380
You might as well just steal someone else's girlfriend.
0.99
00:09:06.620
Look, if I was a guy, if that was a guy, that's what I would do, yeah.
00:09:16.980
And snatched out of the dating market, um, for the single women, man, it's slim pickings.
1.00
00:09:28.240
Like, if you find a good woman, like, you like her and she treats you well, and the two
00:09:35.380
Don't just expect there to just be a huge amount of, like, options on the...
00:09:38.980
Well, the challenge is with the good women, they have such a line of men that are ready
1.00
00:09:44.320
to step up and, you know, be next, um, that it's, it's like, it almost inflates those women's
1.00
00:09:54.700
Dating market, I don't think that, I don't think you're going to be happy with what you
00:10:02.620
And of the men, although one beneficial thing I'll say is that of the single guys that I have
00:10:07.520
seen out here on this holiday is they have no game.
00:10:12.060
Um, like, if I think that the young women are terrible at, like, conversation, the young
0.98
00:10:20.040
I have not found young guys to be bad at conversation.
00:10:31.180
But, like, when I think of my little brother, his friends, my sister, their guy friend, like,
00:10:37.540
Like, I don't know, I always hear so much trash talked about Gen Z men.
0.94
00:10:42.880
And I don't know if I'm just, I'm going crazy.
0.90
00:10:45.120
But when I've met Gen Z men in real life, I don't, most of them are pretty driven.
00:10:51.820
A lot of them live at home, I found, to save money on rent.
00:10:55.100
But usually, like, they save money on rent, but it's because they're saving for a house
00:11:03.380
You know, you can sit next to them and they have no idea what to say, how to talk to people.
00:11:08.640
So insular and just sort of sticking with their, like, male friends that they've come
0.99
00:11:12.960
I haven't interacted with that many men because there's not that many guys out on holiday,
00:11:17.520
But the ones that I have, I'm thinking, guys, if you learn just basic seduction and flirting,
00:11:21.940
just a few, like, lines and games and tricks, you're going to be able to do better than
00:11:29.740
And the other thing that I'll probably say I've taken away from this is confirmation
00:11:34.040
of that demographic of women that I've always enjoyed speaking with, which is the ones that
00:11:39.740
are a lot older or the ones that are very, very young.
00:11:42.680
My favorite interaction was with a couple where the guy was 19 and the woman was just
00:11:50.220
And they'd been together, like, two years, but, like, really interested, asking me questions,
00:11:57.120
And then some of the older women who are kind of, like, my mom's age, they're so open
00:12:02.880
They're, like, asking me what I've done for the day and where I've been hiking and how
00:12:08.300
It's that kind of middle demographic of women that just seems to be so difficult to interact
1.00
00:12:15.420
Yeah, it's because we've been treated like celebrities.
00:12:21.520
Now, none of this is to say that any of my conversations have been anything less than
00:12:25.920
I've spoken a lot about psychology, about culture, dating relationships.
00:12:30.040
And I think that I've converted many of them into being sort of allies of, like, men's
00:12:34.660
rights, you know, if the conversation goes that way.
00:12:37.600
You know, I've had these kind of conversations lots of times before, so I'm well practiced
00:12:43.620
I might make a separate video on the kind of conversations that you can have that might
00:13:01.180
And for you young guys who have not yet found your partner and you're still trying to find
00:13:04.880
a quality woman amongst the kind of selection that's out there, I'm sorry.
0.88
00:13:16.440
But the best thing you can do is just be outcome independent.
00:13:19.720
And that's really, I think that's the best part about getting older.
00:13:23.480
When you're younger, you're so focused on, like, outcomes.
00:13:28.620
And you think if you don't get this, you know, you won't be happy, whatever.
00:13:32.620
But when you become outcome independent and you just think whatever happens, happens, that's
00:13:46.660
But anyways, let me know what you guys think in the comments.
