00:00:00.000 So, I see a lot of people on Twitter crashing out about Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift, and I want to give my take on this.
00:00:09.440 So, Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift get married after Taylor Swift has had 22 ex-boyfriends.
00:00:18.920 And all of the conservatives are celebrating.
00:00:21.040 They're saying, now women are going to go back to the kitchen and get married and da-da-da-da-da-da-da, whatever. 0.99
00:00:26.100 And this is a little bit naive to think that the culture is going to change because of Taylor Swift.
00:00:35.020 Because any woman that takes the commitment, like as serious as marriage, so unseriously, you could say, that they do it because of a cultural trend is going to be divorced immediately. 0.98
00:00:48.860 And the other thing I didn't really understand, you know, that conservatives were celebrating is there's nothing traditional about this marriage.
00:00:57.480 She waited until she was 35.
00:01:02.840 I think, actually, she's almost 36.
00:01:05.680 She dated, had 22 ex-boyfriends.
00:01:08.020 And these are the same conservatives that say women don't sleep around and get married or, you know, don't have a hoe phase. 0.96
00:01:15.680 But I'm like, this girl had a hoe phase and you guys are celebrating it. 1.00
00:01:20.780 And she's probably going to have kids through IVF. 1.00
00:01:25.540 Like, I don't think 36-year-old women have kids naturally, not normally anyways. 1.00
00:01:30.580 So, this is a very modern marriage.
00:01:33.520 And conservatives are celebrating and pushing this.
00:01:36.600 And I want to be clear that what this is going to do, it's not going to convince women to get married. 0.72
00:01:43.700 It's going to convince women that you can wait until 36 and get a Travis Kelsey. 1.00
00:01:49.560 Like, I saw this Brett Cooper video today.
00:01:51.780 And she's like, you know, this is going to show women that you shouldn't wait around for a guy. 1.00
00:01:57.800 You've got to get a guy that gives you exactly what you want, exactly when you want it.
00:02:01.640 And I'm like, she didn't say it like that, but that's how I took it.
00:02:04.820 And I'm like, Brett, you know, most of the women I know in real life that got rings waited five to ten years to get it because the risk is so high.
00:02:14.100 Like, you're kind of in an influencer girl bubble.
00:02:17.820 We get to move.
00:02:18.960 Women tend to get to move differently when they're high status, high fame, and high income. 1.00
00:02:24.340 Um, so I was just thinking, I'm like, I don't, I really don't, um, I see women thinking they're going to get a Super Bowl champion at 36.
00:02:37.920 I think that's how it'll go.
00:02:39.940 Now, my third point, um, is going to be to the, the guy saying Taylor Swift's ran through and this is a bad deal and yada, yada, yada.
00:02:49.040 Um, I actually don't think this is as bad of a deal for Travis Kelsey, um, as a lot of, as, you know, some may think I would.
00:02:59.100 The first reason is because, look, I understand she's ran through, but you're never really going to know, um, you're never really going to know what a woman did.
00:03:11.860 Um, most of you guys met your girlfriends on dating apps.
00:03:15.180 Um, a lot of guys that say their girlfriends are different, they're like from different countries or different cities.
00:03:21.660 Like, there's no verifiable way that we can verify they're in fact not like that.
00:03:26.600 There may not be evidence.
00:03:28.920 Um, but I'm under the belief that most women have something. 1.00
00:03:32.140 So, from Travis's point of view, like, all these women are ran through anyway.
00:03:36.360 But with Taylor Swift, you know, with Taylor Swift, at least, one, the girls he can cheat with now are going to be way hotter. 1.00
00:03:45.260 If he cheats, he can, if he could cheat with eights before, he can cheat with tens now.
00:03:50.220 There's so many women that'll just want to, like, get with him because he's Taylor Swift's husband. 1.00
00:03:55.900 So, that's one.
00:03:57.260 Two, the connections he's going to get by dating her.
00:04:00.920 Um, like, I'd never heard of him until he started Taylor Swift.
00:04:05.780 He doubled his followers on Instagram pretty much overnight by dating her.
00:04:11.480 Um, and if he divorces, he could hypothetically put her on alimony and child support. 0.87
00:04:17.180 I mean, yeah, she'll take the kids, but the woman's going to take the kids anyway. 1.00
00:04:21.560 A lot of people aren't factoring in.
00:04:23.800 Um, sometimes when men get to a certain level, they really only want to deal with women with something to lose.
00:04:30.700 Because, you know, for example, I always use him.
00:04:34.380 I feel bad because, Crowder, we love you.
00:04:37.180 But we got to be honest here.
00:04:38.820 He dated Hillary Crowder.
00:04:40.580 And all of you white knights on this app caped for her when she called him abusive.
00:04:46.620 You know, she wasn't famous before.
00:04:48.540 She had no social media.
00:04:49.860 But she certainly was famous after, you know, after she did that.
00:04:54.860 So, a lot of men realize that if they date these women with nothing to lose, you know, at least with Taylor Swift, if she makes an album about them.
00:05:03.780 I mean, she made an album about 22 guys.
00:05:06.420 So, at some point, the public knows, you know, she might be the problem.
00:05:10.640 Like, very well, it may be her.
00:05:13.180 And I don't think they'll go as hard on him.
00:05:15.500 I think the first few boyfriends got it the worst.
00:05:17.940 But, like, after that, I mean.
00:05:22.560 And the third point I'm going to make is, in the future, people are just going to use their relationships to build brands.
00:05:31.780 That's what you see with all the trad e-girls. 1.00
00:05:33.460 That's what you saw with the Sarah Stock.
00:05:37.440 You know, using the ring to signal status, build a brand.
00:05:41.060 And that's pretty much what all the e-girls and the future is going to be of relationships. 0.54
00:05:47.640 I don't say this is bad or good.
00:05:49.700 But I don't think Travis, my point is this.
00:05:52.740 I don't think Travis Kelsey took as big of an L as conservatives are saying.
00:05:58.620 I don't.
00:05:59.680 Not conservatives.
00:06:00.440 As a lot of them in the red pill are saying.
00:06:03.860 I don't think that conservatives should be celebrating.
00:06:08.600 Because this is going to convince women to wait longer and have higher standards. 1.00
00:06:13.200 And that Travis Kelsey will come.
00:06:14.900 This will not encourage women to get married. 0.99
00:06:17.260 I promise you.
00:06:18.320 This is not going to solve the birth rate.
00:06:20.780 I don't sell hope here.
00:06:22.040 This is also not going to solve, um, it's not going to solve, um, you know, the marriage
00:06:31.300 rate that's not going to go up.
00:06:33.520 And anyone trying to convince you of that is just trying to sell you an ideology.
00:06:38.080 And conservatives, you're celebrating this, but this is not a traditional marriage.
00:06:42.340 And this is not, yeah.
00:06:45.780 But, yeah, that's my take.
00:06:47.860 Let me know what you guys think in the comments.
