I saw a clip of this young woman being asked out at the gym and she's so excited.
00:00:05.800
And the older women are like, this makes my skin crawl.
00:00:11.860
Today, we are reacting to women taking L's as per usual.
00:00:26.740
um you could be you know of cancer or something but the women will make it the worst problem
00:00:33.660
ever and see this is an attractive woman she probably does have choices but she's still
00:00:39.000
going to complain about the choices she has somebody without dating them i don't want to
00:00:43.620
go out to dinner i don't want to go to a movie i just want to go to the part where we're just
00:00:48.220
yeah so this is why men like younger women because the younger women are like they're like
00:00:53.220
oh do you want to go to a movie and they're like tee hee i do and then um they ask the older women
00:01:00.420
that and they're like no i just want to you know do nothing and they're like well
00:01:03.700
now in our pjs on the couch how do we skip the first part you know
00:01:08.260
let me know how do you yeah um so her problem is that men want to take her out too much isn't that
00:01:17.260
incredible isn't that incredible okay let's keep going dating in your 40s in your 40s is
00:01:23.160
confusing because one minute you are talking to someone who has been married for 20 years,
00:01:27.060
has teenagers, and has a whole emotional history. The next minute you are on a date with someone
00:01:31.420
who is casually unemployed, missing a bed frame, and still figuring himself. And she probably loves
00:01:37.260
that man. She probably loves him. Women love men that sleep on mattresses. I'm so tired of hearing
00:01:43.900
these guys coping. Oh, you need money to pull women. No, you don't. Women bang broke men. We
00:01:50.180
bang broke men all the time i mean if anything it's incredible how many broke men we bang you
00:01:57.380
know and you are supposed to just be open to both with the same energy and i am like okay this is a
00:02:04.980
lot of range this is a very wide range yeah because when they're 40s uh those women will date men in
00:02:10.340
their 20s and men in their 60s dating in your all right let's see what's next uh we got this lady
00:02:16.420
hear another mid let's see what she has to say asking too much out of a 45 year old man that's
00:02:22.860
on the dating app we match um we chit chat on tuesday he asks if i want to get a drink
00:02:29.660
so sounds great so what about saturday so my saturday is free response was lucky me
00:02:35.420
that was it that was the only response so wednesday morning i wake up and i said just name
00:02:41.900
like you know the the time and the place and it's a date took him a whole day like we're now on
00:02:49.140
thursday for him to respond and say he knows of two places um in like two different areas but if
00:02:54.820
that's too far he can find somewhere else i said no those are great not a problem that was noon on
00:03:00.160
thursday date is saturday rest of thursday goes that's because he's hoping that his other options
00:03:08.220
pull through so he can cancel on you um like because there's younger prettier and better
00:03:13.640
in every way women that he's going to give better treatment to and that's just you know
00:03:17.060
eat that else nothing friday goes by nothing saturday wake up getting through my day morning
00:03:25.520
he texts says hey i know you're a baseball fan are you also a football fan yeah i'm out running
00:03:32.160
errands i'm at the farmer's market it's like 10 10 30 at this point and he's like do you want to
00:03:37.460
watch the Rams playoff game or wildcard game. I said, I typically I'd love to, but that's at
00:03:44.740
1 30. So kind of need a little bit more notice than that. But I have the young women. They're
00:03:49.920
like, yay. He had love to go. Held my evening for us to get drinks because I don't know what time
00:03:56.900
are we going at five? Are we going at eight? I don't know. I can't make any plans for my evening
00:04:02.100
because he hasn't said even though I've asked um he said not a problem drinks yeah still on for
00:04:09.000
drinks that maybe that would tee up like what the plan is no no still still no response after that
00:04:16.520
I let some time go by because I had already asked where when uh and I don't want to be pushy but
00:04:25.380
like it's 1 30 and I what am I supposed to just get dressed and sit on my couch starting at like
00:04:31.300
4 30 and wait for him to text me i i don't know so yeah they would love that they would love that
00:04:37.760
if you just i mean really um they want you to like go around their schedule i mean i'm sure
00:04:42.320
you're talking to a chad because i mean you wouldn't really care if like like let's say a
00:04:46.820
dorky guy goes to you you're like whatever i don't care but chad goes to you and is
00:04:50.440
inconsiderate like you were to men in your 20s then um now you don't like it but that's just
00:04:55.040
life take the l it's okay you know in life we all take l's i'm a humble person i think there's a lot
00:05:00.320
of humility and I'm taking L's but you got to accept that that is an L. I feel like now I'm
00:05:05.560
getting bitchy and annoyed and I know I'm a type A and I like a plan but this like not having one
00:05:11.240
at all and it's supposed to be this evening and the expect it feels like the expectation that I'm
00:05:15.880
just holding my entire day for him for somebody that I don't even know feels a little like
00:05:22.020
disrespectful of my time like he's clearly going yeah well women will do that with your life like
00:05:27.460
they'll expect you to hold your life for them so she he's expecting you to hold out on your day and
00:05:31.820
women are expecting you to ruin your whole life something about his date so like do i just go
00:05:36.480
about my day and like be like sorry never didn't didn't ever hear a formal plan even though we
00:05:41.080
talked earlier today so yeah it's chad um chad humbles these women and then they come back to you
00:05:46.980
their husbands you know i am 44 years old and i am newly single after 24 years of marriage
00:05:54.060
i have been dating for the last few months and let me tell you it's it's wild out there y'all
00:06:01.420
i'm already racking up some stories i was thinking i'm racking up some bodies is what
00:06:06.440
she should have said i might want to share a few of them here some things i've learned
00:06:11.000
some things that i've experienced some things that i have thankfully not experienced because
00:06:18.540
i realized it was a bad situation before i got myself into it of course there's always the guys
00:06:25.020
who tell me they're single and they're actually married and there's the guy with the um schmex
00:06:32.460
machine yeah i have a story that talks about something like that dating has been an adventure
00:06:40.780
it has been fun it's been crazy it's been healing i think she loved the man with the sex machine
00:06:47.820
you see our face lit up been validating it's been exciting there's been more good than bad
00:06:53.900
okay but i'm racking up some stories i would love to share them all right let's see what's next um
00:06:59.420
the idea of dating at 40 should make your script point of view the idea of dating at 40 makes your
00:07:05.020
skin crawl okay but i am a single 40 year old woman i have not been on a date in almost a year
00:07:09.980
and the longer i go without going on a date the less i want to go on a date my fellow older single
00:07:14.540
women we're talking again this is why they like the young women do you want to go on and get on
00:07:17.780
a date on a date oh my gosh i can't talk i saw a clip of this young woman being asked out at the
00:07:22.900
gym and she's so excited she's like yeah i want to go on a date and the older women are like
00:07:28.180
this makes my skin crawl the young women it's new and exciting you know king 40 plus let me know if
00:07:35.720
i'm alone here because something about being older and being so comfortable with yourself and your
00:07:40.400
own company and value they're just like set in their ways your piece so much i feel like i would
00:07:45.420
just have to be so interested in someone to even entertain the idea of disrupting that let me know
00:07:50.180
if i'm alone here because i don't think i am all right let's see who's next we got this woman here
00:07:55.100
yes i'm 40 and yes i'm still single and i get tons of comments like this basically calling me
00:08:01.580
a red flag because i have not met my person it's well yeah you probably are but you know we all
00:08:06.920
have red flags you know it just you got it me i have a big youtube channel that's a big red flag
00:08:12.640
and you know i accept that you got to just accept like sometimes it's an l crazy to me that society
00:08:17.660
always wants to make it the woman's fault i guarantee men that are 40 and single and have
00:08:23.920
not the prize um and they can date women in their 30s 20s even a night and even teens even a 19
00:08:29.980
year old you know what i mean but the person are not getting comments like this last year i went
00:08:34.420
on 40 dates oh my and in 40 dates i discovered how many dates is that so 40 40 divided by 12
00:08:42.580
three and a half dates a month okay that 90 of those men are not ready for a relationship they're
00:08:49.760
not emotionally in tune with what's required you look at if margot robbie in her prime asked any
00:08:54.960
of those men for a relationship they would say i am ready i am i am ready to settle down to be a
00:09:01.640
partner. They are man children. They don't know. And I'm not trying to be rude, but how are you
00:09:06.820
calling the man children when you're on TikTok? That's like a kid's app, you know, it's like for
00:09:11.100
Gen Z. What are, what are boomer women doing on here? How to plan dates. They don't know how to
00:09:15.860
court a woman. And they ultimately, I would say 95% of them fell below my standards. There were
00:09:21.900
two that I thought could have a chance, but they were not looking for a relationship. So
00:09:27.580
they again want to be man children these comments that's just demanding more than your worth you
00:09:33.080
know women like her she's cute enough that like she could get a decent guy but then she'd have to
00:09:38.920
you know have a pleasant personality and that's hard women's posts about being selective and not
00:09:43.620
settling are just so wild to me take these comments go find the men of the world and ask them
00:09:48.760
what's going on i went out with a guy last year who couldn't even figure out how to buy a wedding
00:09:53.700
gift i don't know how he's even upholding a career come on like we can barely figure out how to put
00:09:58.820
together amazon packages i mean like our amazon like build your own furniture and all this stuff
00:10:03.940
there's something we can't do either like you know it kind of says more about you that you're
00:10:07.220
noticing it because you're judgmental or the rest of his life how is he even getting out the front
00:10:11.540
door every day that type of man needs a mother and is not ready for a partner that is not my fault
00:10:17.540
yeah so she's already nagging men she hasn't even met yet for being single okay well um now
00:10:23.220
show you know i'm happy women like you exist because i love content forever this is the
00:10:27.940
biggest gaslight you know sometimes there's something wrong with you and that's okay there's
00:10:31.220
stuff wrong with all of us and the quicker you can figure it out the you know more likely you'll
00:10:36.240
get what you want in the future because you can fix it anyways guys let me know what you think
00:10:40.020
in the comments i love you all i love talking to you like the video subscribe to the channel and
