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.

00:00:00.000 Back when I was dating, women were not particularly politically interested. 1.00
00:00:05.500 They weren't, like, active in it.
00:00:06.800 But nowadays, it seems like every woman has got so many, like, opinions.
00:00:11.160 And so...
00:00:12.240 All right, what up, guys?
00:00:13.660 Welcome to my reaction series.
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.
00:00:21.220 If you guys like his stuff, subscribe in the link below.
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.
00:00:30.860 So let's hear it, Alexander. 0.99
00:00:32.880 Call this video, like, you young guys are screwed or something like that. 0.96
00:00:38.340 So you can tell I'm not in my office. 0.97
00:00:41.420 I'm staying at this resort.
00:00:43.640 I'm in Fiji at the moment.
00:00:45.800 All right, that looks pretty good.
00:00:47.180 What's going on?
00:00:48.780 Sunsets just going on.
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.
00:00:58.400 I love snorkeling.
00:00:59.220 And the coral here has been beautiful.
00:01:01.560 The reef's incredible.
00:01:02.960 But I didn't expect it to be so social.
00:01:06.220 I've sort of eaten dinner every single night with various travelers from around the world
00:01:11.340 and lots of women. 1.00
00:01:12.900 And that has given me a new insight into what you young guys are dealing with
00:01:17.080 out there in the dating market.
00:01:18.660 And it's rough.
00:01:22.600 I thought I might just talk through some of the stuff that I've seen.
00:01:28.000 I've got my notes here.
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
00:01:58.340 Great.
00:01:59.240 No, man, you don't want to look like it's rough.
00:02:04.380 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?
00:02:17.560 I've said this before.
00:02:18.540 We don't like each other.
00:02:19.700 We don't like ourselves.
00:02:20.900 We're insecure.
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
00:02:28.740 So of course we hate you guys too.
00:02:30.960 And, you know, but what we do love is a Big Mac from McDonald's.
00:02:35.860 Let's face it.
00:02:36.800 Our generation is in a testosterone crisis.
00:02:39.740 Thanks to modern lifestyle, poor diet, and environmental toxins.
00:02:44.120 Low testosterone can sabotage your health and vitality.
00:02:47.940 Reclaim your edge and bring your levels back to where they belong.

00:03:05.580 Tongkat Ali, to ignite your body's own testosterone factory. 0.89
00:03:09.920 Studies show fenugreek, along with IGF-1 and other clinically backed ingredients in Man's

00:03:47.380 Starbucks, a latte.
00:03:49.620 That's like 500 calories.
00:03:51.060 So, yeah.
00:03:52.080 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
00:04:06.400 Which is fine, right? 0.78
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
00:04:24.340 You're welcome.
00:04:25.440 The travel.
00:04:26.160 Very few single men.
00:04:28.420 I don't know.
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
00:04:34.760 than single guys.
00:04:36.920 Part of me thinks that there must just be men at home who know that.
00:04:40.340 Yeah.
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
00:05:04.700 right?
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
00:05:15.800 Because there's no consequence, you know.
00:05:18.040 They can't afford it.
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
00:05:26.160 to spend money on travel.
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
00:05:37.500 like, groups of women.
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
00:05:56.860 Trump.
00:05:57.720 Why are so many European women, like, talking to me, a complete stranger about this? 1.00
00:06:03.160 Like, why are so many of us?
00:06:04.820 I know.
00:06:05.260 I know.
00:06:05.620 Because I think there's something wrong with us.
00:06:07.280 We love the drama.
00:06:08.660 I love talking about a women shouldn't. 1.00
00:06:11.300 I can't say that.
00:06:12.660 I can't say it out loud.
00:06:13.920 You know, but it's a very weird thing to do.
00:06:15.560 I'm kind of weird.
00:06:16.460 So, it's kind of like, eh.
00:06:18.500 But, yeah, I get it.
00:06:20.300 You know, it's the most fun thing ever.
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.
00:06:34.100 And it's really other women. 1.00
00:06:35.400 I'm guessing he's talking about the abortion and whatever, Trump, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:39.660 Conversations about politics.
00:06:41.900 Back when I was dating, women were not particularly politically interested. 1.00
00:06:47.240 They weren't, like, active in it.
00:06:48.500 But nowadays, it seems like every woman has got so many, like, opinions.
00:06:52.920 And so, heaps of conversations about politics.
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
00:07:02.120 talking about my daughter.
00:07:03.400 Something about me talking about my kids.
00:07:04.880 Nobody has, like, any follow-up questions.
00:07:07.740 As far as I can tell, none of these women are interested in having children of their own. 1.00
00:07:13.140 That's not where their priorities are.
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
00:07:28.800 always ask, like, the questions.
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
00:07:58.280 themselves.
00:07:59.000 Just, oh, like, he's asking me questions and talking about myself and my life.
00:08:03.280 That seems completely natural.
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
00:08:14.480 to, and that is...
00:08:15.900 Asian?
00:08:16.620 Asian women.
00:08:17.240 Asian is women inside relationships. 1.00
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
00:08:31.200 without their boyfriends.
00:08:32.780 Like, they've left their boyfriends at home.
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?
00:08:43.600 Luxury Fiji holiday, and he has to stay home.
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
00:09:02.740 You know, they've already been...
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
00:09:24.180 Like, man, you young guys, gosh.
00:09:28.240 Like, if you find a good woman, like, you like her and she treats you well, and the two
00:09:32.820 of you have similar values, don't blow it.
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
00:09:51.400 egos, too.
00:09:53.280 We're all cooked.
00:09:54.700 Dating market, I don't think that, I don't think you're going to be happy with what you
00:09:59.900 find based on what I've seen in this trip.
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
00:10:16.520 guys are just absolutely shocking.
00:10:18.840 Do you know what?
00:10:20.040 I have not found young guys to be bad at conversation.
00:10:24.420 I know everyone says that.
00:10:26.200 I'd say maybe they're bad at flirting. 0.79
00:10:29.660 I could see that.
00:10:31.180 But, like, when I think of my little brother, his friends, my sister, their guy friend, like,
00:10:35.660 they're usually pretty respectful. 0.91
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
00:11:00.640 or saving for something.
00:11:02.800 So, yeah.
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
00:11:12.420 with.
00:11:12.960 I haven't interacted with that many men because there's not that many guys out on holiday,
00:11:17.120 it seems.
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
00:11:26.560 so many of these other guys.
00:11:27.820 They've just got nothing going for them.
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
00:11:49.220 18.
00:11:50.220 And they'd been together, like, two years, but, like, really interested, asking me questions,
00:11:55.280 going back and forth, spoke to them lots.
00:11:57.120 And then some of the older women who are kind of, like, my mom's age, they're so open
00:12:02.260 as well.
00:12:02.880 They're, like, asking me what I've done for the day and where I've been hiking and how
00:12:06.760 the snorkeling was.
00:12:08.300 It's that kind of middle demographic of women that just seems to be so difficult to interact 1.00
00:12:14.940 with.
00:12:15.420 Yeah, it's because we've been treated like celebrities.
00:12:18.120 You know what I mean?
00:12:18.560 Like, we've been treated like a celebrity.
00:12:21.020 So, yeah.
00:12:21.520 Now, none of this is to say that any of my conversations have been anything less than
00:12:25.100 pleasant.
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
00:12:40.540 at this stage.
00:12:42.660 And it's quite amusing.
00:12:43.620 I might make a separate video on the kind of conversations that you can have that might
00:12:49.420 be beneficial.
00:12:50.280 But anyway.
00:12:52.480 None of them.
00:12:53.700 I'm blackpilled.
00:12:54.720 None of the conversations are beneficial.
00:12:58.800 Just some more raw data for me.
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
00:13:11.520 I really hope you find a good one.
00:13:13.620 Yeah, you're cooked.
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
00:13:38.500 when you become happy.
00:13:41.020 Because then nobody can affect your happiness.
00:13:43.260 It has to do with you.
00:13:44.600 It doesn't matter what other people do.
00:13:46.660 But anyways, let me know what you guys think in the comments.
00:13:48.720 Make sure you like the video and subscribe to the channel.
00:13:51.040 Thank you guys for watching as usual.
