00:06:26.660this is from when i lived in london bro guys they say pearl why don't why don't you like
00:06:37.680why don't you like living in london isn't it it can't be that bad it can't be
00:06:45.100you know it's it's fine it's nothing you know
00:06:50.380you you complain so much about it what's so awful it literally looked like pakistan where i used to
00:06:58.080live incredible all right let's see this lady
00:07:10.200nice guys or bad boys bad boys why they're more fun is this guy a bad boy he's bad i'm bad
00:07:22.240craig welcome to the gym today we're here we're working both arms and abs here come to the office
00:07:28.620first up craig we're going to start out doing these i love this i've seen this guy's um
02:24:53.380okay we're gonna go a little further back
02:25:00.440yes you do you're already paying half your assets so this woman can live apart you're not you're
02:25:08.960not you're not living in a way that looks like marriage to the government you're not married
02:25:13.240you're not living in a way that looks like marriage to the government you understand the
02:25:16.740difference no no no and here's why for family law to to force a man to compel a man to pay
02:25:23.340alimony it has to like you have to be married or you have to live in a way that looks like
02:25:28.260marriage to the government so if you want to go about it a certain way like you know we're talking
02:25:32.620about a strategy here now at this point yeah if you want to apply a strategy to the game to sort
02:25:37.540of circumvent some of the uh risk profiles then that's one way to do it that's just one way to do
02:25:43.980it i mean there's other ways that we yeah but let's focus on this one real quick because to me
02:25:47.920it's incoherent the idea here is a the woman can still pursue here because it doesn't align with
02:25:53.160your worldview with no it's incoherent because when it's applied to what it is that you're trying
02:25:57.720to avoid, you're just skipping to the thing you were trying to avoid in the first place.
02:26:04.080You're going to split assets and be paying towards your ex-wife's new life.
02:26:10.100Yeah, but he's saying, like, let's try to mitigate it as much as we can. So, okay,
02:26:15.080if you're less on the hook for child support, if you're resplitting the bills, you'll pay less,
02:26:21.580right there's states you can live in like there's no guarantees right but if you want to like like
02:26:28.600it's interesting because rich is arguing to minimize risk with this way and
02:26:33.040andrew is arguing to minimize risk with god so it's like why is one bad and the other not
02:26:40.420that's what you're trying to avoid under your view though you're just doing the same thing
02:26:44.660you're just paying for her assets hang on hang on in the same exact way and she can still pursue
02:26:49.860legal action through the kids that doesn't stop her from doing that at all yeah and you have taken
02:26:54.180out the risk mitigation now of religion so there actually seems like there's an incentive for her
02:26:58.580to do that the the remedy that she can apply for will be child support right yeah she can't apply
02:27:06.180for alimony she can't apply for half of her because they're not living yeah yeah in a way
02:27:11.380that looks like marriage and even child support if they make similar it's a lot less likely the
02:27:17.940state will always make sure the children are looked after that's that's what they do so there's
02:27:23.780no avoiding the state well let's just agree on something like some of the biggest risks
02:27:28.740for men are what child support alimony and the loss of half half of their assets yeah
02:27:35.220yeah so you just eliminate two of those risks and the only thing that you'd have to deal with
02:27:41.060is child support versus marriage where she can take half of your alimony and child support
02:27:47.940Hang on. You haven't done that exactly. So, no, you haven't eliminated this risk. So here's why you haven't eliminated it. You're still paying out just like you were divorced. You're still paying out just as though you were divorced for this woman to be taking care of your kids for half her assets and you're living apart from her.
02:28:08.020and what this does is this also creates a massive problem which is that the outcomes for the
02:28:15.160children are still not going to be as good as if they were at home with mommy and daddy to get
02:28:19.580hang on together because we have all the data in the world to provide it for this that that in
02:28:23.980split households how much how much data model that i just described to you as a as a solution
02:28:30.240to that would be that would be your burden not mine well it's one version it's one version that
02:28:35.000um no no but that would be your burden you would be you would need to show me the proof that that
02:28:39.460works better than than the model of being heavily religious and in marriage for mitigation that
02:28:45.360wouldn't be on me to prove to you it'd be on you to prove to me well they're not going to study
02:28:49.220something like that but i can tell you from evidence that i've seen that it works quite well
02:28:53.040what evidence people that i know that do it that's anecdotal yeah they always again that's
02:28:58.560anecdotal that I hate it when commentators say that because like are you gonna like Rich is a
02:29:05.800subject matter expert in this he is a subject like his anecdotes matter they're important
02:29:12.820and they are credible um so I just I don't like it when commentators say that because you're saying
02:29:20.980believe me because of my study and that's giving power to the academics and the commentators that
02:29:28.100don't have like none of us have real jobs so we can read the studies when it's like no the boots
02:29:33.460on the ground like we always need to give respect to the boots on the ground and what people are
02:29:38.520seeing with their eyes i understand that like you know for the purpose of a debate like maybe you
02:29:43.660have to use studies but just in general um and like yes statistics can be helpful but they're
02:29:50.260not the end-all be-all because statistics are owned by women which is academia right um the
02:29:56.800setup that cooper is offering doesn't work for most men nor is it effective in mitigating risk
02:30:00.820from the state intervention you cannot logic women into not screwing you over that's true
02:30:05.080that's completely true but it's just a choice you know um that's the problem there's no guarantees
02:30:11.800there's just you know choices and trade-offs yeah there's no place in a debate you can appeal to
02:30:18.380a lot of people that do this andrew like you realize this that's anecdotal right but you
02:30:23.200understand that that that men are having to uh become creative when it comes to the notion of
02:30:29.040having children without losing their shit one of the other things you see guys trying to
02:30:33.680trying to use to solve this uh problem is surrogacy which is another bizarre one
02:30:38.720right then you don't have the mom involved at all yeah but that's only going to be available to men
02:30:43.440who have wealth so become wealthy that's yeah well but that's that but you see what i'm saying
02:30:48.960like this creates a massive problem most men are not going to become wealthy most people are not
02:30:54.320going but and most women won't choose men for marriage because they don't have enough money
02:30:58.800women will bang men for free so if you want sex don't worry that's going to be available forever
02:31:04.240um but marriage like women tend to pick men with money or if you're not successful then
02:31:10.720then you have to follow the masses this is this is why so many guys get destroyed because the
02:31:16.880because the game is rigged against them the population has no real fair way to navigate
02:31:25.920relationships and children consecutively yeah but you create here's the problem that you have
02:31:31.520here with this analogy the first is when you appeal to an anecdote if i were to give you
02:31:36.880a similar anecdote oh i know a lot of guys who do that and doesn't work out for them you wouldn't
02:31:40.320believe me because that doesn't tell us anything that's one the second problem here is one thing
02:31:46.240about marriage that's useful yeah no no your anecdotes like here's the thing if he has anecdotes
02:31:53.520of people that it worked out then i just have the questions right okay how long have they been
02:31:58.080together how can you tell that it's working out like uh where do they live can we interview them
02:32:03.600like these are all questions you know um yeah so i'm i'm for the academic research but i would
02:32:14.000argue the year of publication is more likely to um consider back in the 2000s it was more unbiased
02:47:20.920Jews, 33%. Muslims, 24%. And Hindus, 15%. For Christian denominations in Judaism, that means
02:47:27.780your odds of divorce lie between one in three and one in two. Not exactly that much of a reduction
02:47:32.820of risk. And given that most American conservatives are Christian, they are probably not exactly
02:47:38.380thrilled with the idea of your best bet for staying married is worshiping Allah or Vishnu.
02:47:43.600And these religions have a lower divorce rate for other reasons, such as the subordination of women
02:47:49.020in the Islamic Hadith and the arranged marriages of the Hindu. It should be noted that Hindus have
02:47:54.620slightly better odds than a game of Russian roulette and only by a measly 1.6 percent.
02:48:00.560And it's hardly a silver bullet against divorce if the state is still holding a gun to your head.
02:48:05.920I should point out that I'm continuing to develop my in-depth documentary on modern divorce with a huge emphasis on listening to men's stories and perspectives and calling for direly needed legal reform and societal change.
02:48:18.740The documentary is heavily dependent on viewers for support. The more funding we receive, the more we can do, and the deeper down the rabbit hole we can venture.
02:48:26.360There's a link to the GoFundMe in the video description if you want to get involved.
02:48:30.540Now, a marriage pusher from the fake tradcon side might be quick to point out that many of these
02:48:35.800people are religious in name only. The Institute for Family Studies, which in reality is nothing
02:48:41.220more than a pro-marriage propaganda outlet masquerading as a scholarly organization,
02:48:46.300have made great hay with the claim that regular church attendance seems to correlate with a 50%
02:48:52.260reduction in the likelihood of divorce. In fact, this claim ties back to a 2018 Harvard study,
02:48:58.260which found that super devout Christians who attended church more than once a week
02:49:02.140reduced their likelihood of divorce by 42%.
02:49:05.020Not those who attended once a week, and certainly not those who attended less.
02:49:09.960Broken down, this is a 32% reduction of risk for Protestants who attended church more than once a week,
02:49:15.720and a 54% reduction for Catholics who showed up multiple times a week.
02:49:21.300The difference between the two largely being the greater hostility towards divorce within Catholicism.
02:49:27.480Nevertheless, 28% of super devout Protestants, 16% of super devout Catholics who attended church
02:49:33.240multiple times per week still ended up getting divorced, a risk of roughly one in four for
02:49:38.840Protestants and a Russian roulette risk of one in six for Catholics. Furthermore, according to Pew
02:49:44.640data and also LifeWay's research, only 12% of both Catholics and Protestants attend church more than
02:49:50.620once per week, with most of these people being middle-aged or older, not in their 20s and 30s.
02:49:55.700So even if men were to make the commitment of being super devout, there would be nowhere near
02:50:01.340a large enough pool of available church girls to go out with. So despite what fake trad cons would
02:50:07.200tell you, religiosity is hardly a solution for the male population to overcome the risks of divorce.
02:50:12.820But as I mentioned, most members of the fake trad con could give a damn about the male population
02:50:17.700at large. They're mostly interested in using the divorce issue as a foil for recruitment. And it
02:50:23.140goes without saying that not all super devout women who don't believe in divorce will necessarily
02:50:27.920be all sweetness and light after the wedding. Some men will find themselves trapped in toxic
02:50:32.960marriages with female religious fanatics who call all the shot, are stingy with sex, and weigh their
02:50:38.840husbands down with all sorts of unreasonable demands and moral standards. Never mind the
02:50:44.040massive potential for a religious wife to turn out to be a hypocrite. We shall probably never know
02:50:49.140what percentage of super devout marriages are genuinely happy and what percentage are not.
02:50:53.600Since keeping up with the appearances and keeping marital problems secret are notorious part of how
02:50:59.360super devout couples operate. But what are the benefits of matrimony to men? Marriage advocates
02:51:04.720frequently talk about how on average married men benefit from greater health, happiness,
02:51:10.420and financial success. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that married men earn 10 to
02:51:16.46020% more than single ones. But please bear in mind that is largely due to a higher financial
02:51:23.060burden placed upon a married man. Yes, there is the cost of children, but more significantly is
02:51:29.160the average cost of materially satisfying a wife. Now, part of this is evolution. Women's nesting
02:51:35.860habits can prompt the purchase of everything from a nice house to silverware to otherwise useless
02:51:41.480throw pillows. And part of this is social status, with women being far more likely to push for
02:51:48.180luxury brands or to go on two vacations a year. All told, a wife can quadruple a man's household
02:51:54.900expenditures. Meanwhile, a single man can be satisfied with far fewer possessions,
02:52:00.480mostly the basic essentials, plus some recreational purchases like TVs,
02:52:05.280game consoles, and sound systems. Beyond that, the most single men are satisfied with far less,
02:52:12.240some even being perfectly happy with a studio apartment and a mattress on the floor. In short,
02:52:16.740married men earn 10 to 20% more money because their wives make it so they well have to.
02:52:23.120As for happiness, the general social survey in 2022 indicated that roughly 33% more married men
02:52:30.380ticked the box for being very happy compared to single men. And a 2019 article in the Journal of
02:52:36.520Marriage and Family found that depression was 47% less common among married men than their single
02:52:42.440counterparts. However, that's really not the whole picture. According to the Journal of Psychological
02:52:48.560Medicine, the 40 to 45% of married men who get divorced see their depression rates skyrocket
02:52:55.820again by 312%, far outstripping the depression rates seen among single men. So congrats if
02:53:03.580you're married and it works out. I'm not denying that there are successful marriages to good women
02:53:08.420that could potentially make men happy. The point is that men today are running a considerable risk
02:53:14.660to the tune of 40 to 45% of those attempts at happiness blowing up in their face and leaving
02:53:20.580them worse off than if they had just saved their money and remained single. And it is entirely
02:53:25.760unsurprising that most troubled people in the world tend to be single. However, if you are a
02:53:30.940single man and you don't binge drink, shoot heroin, or eat like shit, but take decent care of yourself,
02:53:36.560none of these arguments really apply to you. You'll live as long as a married man. But how about
02:53:41.900prenups? After all, it's another way for men to reduce the risk of being financially destroyed
02:53:46.460or having their children taken away from them in a corrupt divorce system.
02:53:50.120Some conservative commentators like Michael Knowles discourage prenups as a safety measure
02:53:54.940altogether since, according to him, it violates the sacrament of marriage by merely acknowledging
02:54:00.260the statistical reality that the relationship might fail.
