Pearl - Situationships Last Longer Than Modern Marriage

00:00:00.000 Why did he reply and say, who's to say that person can't be me?

00:00:04.140 Now she just got another six months. He got another six months of subscription.

00:00:09.560 That wasn't in the script.

00:00:11.520 Okay, so today we're talking about situationships.

00:00:15.320 Now, this has been a relatively new term.

00:00:18.660 I don't think situationships, they're kind of a product of the modern dating market.

00:00:24.400 And it was tough when I was younger and I went to school.

00:00:27.220 I didn't know how to describe to my parents the relationships everybody was in.

00:00:33.560 Because while there was maybe one or two or three boyfriend-girlfriends on the teams,

00:00:38.040 most of my lifetime I've probably known more people in situationships than I know married or in relationships.

00:00:44.880 Now, so welcome to another episode of Pearl Daily.

00:00:47.940 Not very long ago, it was required for a man to commit to a woman to be able to have sex.

00:00:52.980 It was required, at least for most men, for what they knew of, for a man to marry a woman before the woman would bear his children.

00:01:01.420 But those times are long gone.

00:01:03.520 From the sexual revolution came a culture where women are empowered to be promiscuous and have casual sex. 1.00

00:01:09.540 This dynamic is praised in modern culture.

00:01:12.960 Where there was once long-term relationships, now there's nothing but a bunch of situationships.

00:01:16.980 Now, what is a situationship?

00:01:20.520 A situationship is a romantic or sexual relationship that lacks clear labels, commitment, or long-term expectations.

00:01:28.300 It's more than just like a one-time casual hookup, but less than a traditional relationship.

00:01:35.040 More and more women are getting stuck in situations for months and even years 1.00

00:01:39.980 as more and more average and men women are trying to get commitment from men that are out of their league.

00:01:46.580 If you ask these women whose fault is it that the situationship is persisting, 0.99

00:01:51.460 they will always blame the men instead of taking accountability

00:01:53.740 for the type of man they choose to spend their time with.

00:01:57.000 Now, I'd like to give a little bit of a caveat.

00:02:00.700 So, there's a few different types of situationships that I see.

00:02:04.720 There's a few.

00:02:05.260 So, there's situationship number one, which is a woman sleeping with a guy that's out of her league. 0.82

00:02:15.520 This can go on for months and even years.

00:02:19.040 Now, this type of situationship is on and off.

00:02:21.920 Oftentimes, the woman will go back to this guy throughout her entire life. 0.99

00:02:26.280 So, in between marriages, she'll go back.

00:02:28.820 In between boyfriends, she'll go back.

00:02:31.040 This is the ultimate guy that the woman wanted.

00:02:33.760 This is the jack, you know, of modern women. 1.00

00:02:39.280 Now, there is a different type of situationship that I also see.

00:02:43.580 And this is a guy that a woman sleeps with but is embarrassed of. 0.60

00:02:49.740 So, oftentimes, you hear from these guys, and you may laugh, but this is a problem for certain men,

00:02:55.820 that the women always want sex and never commitment. 0.99

00:02:59.440 Now, men that have never been in that position can't even fathom this.

00:03:02.860 But these are the men that are chosen to be side dude material, where the women could not see themselves getting along with the man.

00:03:10.460 Maybe they're embarrassed to be with that man in public, but they just cannot, for whatever reason, see it long term,

00:03:16.200 but they like the sex or maybe even the comfort of the situationship. 0.94

00:03:20.940 You also see the fat chicks that men bang, and, you know, they don't really know their place. 1.00

00:03:31.240 But those are really the different types of situationships I see.

00:03:35.440 And I was thinking about the experience of men and women,

00:03:38.220 and I noticed that you can compare a situationship with an older woman to a young man in the friend zone with an attractive woman.

00:03:46.220 And I would argue it's up to the man to end a relationship with a woman that he's putting effort into but not getting the sex from.

00:03:52.780 Just like it's a woman's responsibility to end things with a man that she's not getting commitment from. 0.94

00:03:58.100 Women say all the time that they know right when they meet a man if they would sleep with them or not. 1.00

00:04:02.500 I think it's the same for men.

00:04:04.500 It won't take long for a man to realize if he wanted, he would be in a relationship with a woman, sort of.

00:04:12.540 Okay, so I did a poll, and I was kind of curious about this.

00:04:16.560 So I polled men.

00:04:19.640 What is the longest, or sorry, I polled people.

00:04:22.460 What is the longest situationship you've been in?

00:04:25.620 So 30% of situationships, this is over 2,000 people, so this is a decent sample size,

00:04:31.360 under a year, 1 to 3 years, 20%, 10%, say 3 to 5 years, and the majority of situationships are over 5 years long.

00:04:44.900 And when I got this poll, I realized that's longer than most marriages.

00:04:50.000 Many situationships last longer than most marriages. 0.99

00:04:53.960 Now, I also did a poll today asking men if they've ever promoted, let me find it,

00:05:07.400 fellas, have you, because me and Doug MPA were talking before the show,

00:05:11.980 and I don't agree that, I don't agree at all that situationships the women always lose. 0.99

00:05:18.960 And his initial thought was that if a man doesn't know in a year if he's going to marry you, he's never going to.

00:05:28.120 And I think it's a generational difference, but that's not what I've seen at all, or make you his girlfriend.

00:05:36.640 And I'm being honest here, that is not at all what I've seen.

00:05:40.620 And I've seen about 50-50.

00:05:44.440 Half of situationships get left in the dust, and half actually get what they want, even after 1 to 3 years.

00:05:53.340 There's winners and there's losers in this life.

00:05:55.600 Now, there was a girl in school, and she was dating, I knew in school, and she was dating, let's just call him Chad. 0.99

00:06:01.840 And to be honest, the whole time I would watch her, and I would think that she was stupid, right? 1.00

00:06:08.860 And I would think that she was dumb, an idiot. 1.00

00:06:12.020 Chad will never take you seriously. 1.00

00:06:15.560 You know, I recently checked in her profile, and she's pregnant with his kid now, so I was wrong.

00:06:20.860 That girl was in a four-year situationship. 0.98

00:06:24.640 Four years in one.

00:06:26.780 But for every winner, there's a loser, right?

00:06:29.240 And I knew another girl that was in an on-and-off situationship with, let's call him Tyrone.

00:06:36.840 And it was on and off for years, and no, he never took her seriously.

00:06:42.340 I would say probably she wasn't good-looking enough. 1.00

00:06:46.580 Neither were, right?

00:06:48.080 Both, the one guy did bald early, so maybe that helped.

00:06:52.400 I don't know.

00:06:52.860 Now, the women that win and the women that lose, I'd like to say there's no guaranteed outcomes, there's just strategies. 0.96

00:07:04.540 But the women that I saw win, the strategy they would enact is they wouldn't bring up commitment. 1.00

00:07:10.560 And they would just work to give the man the most positive experience possible.

00:07:14.600 Now, the women that would nag the man constantly about what are we and da-da-da-da-da, I didn't really see them winning. 1.00

00:07:22.080 So I was curious.

00:07:23.320 I wanted to poll the people, and this is a smaller poll.

00:07:27.040 I wanted to poll and see what the people had seen.

00:07:30.100 Because in my experience, from what I've seen, it's about 50-50.

00:07:35.060 Maybe 60-40, with 60% of situationships stay that way, 40%.

00:07:41.680 And I promoted a situationship to my girlfriend or wife.

00:07:47.820 This is asking men.

00:07:49.660 32% said they have done that.

00:07:51.900 30% just wanted to see results.

00:07:53.980 37% said they'd never done that.

00:07:56.620 And that's about what I've seen.

00:07:58.600 I've also seen men on the losing side of a situationship, where the girl's just a little hotter than him or has more choice.

00:08:06.080 And he wants to be in a relationship, you know, and she doesn't.

00:08:11.660 But my question is, for the men, I really want to hear about your situationships.

00:08:18.100 You know, what is the longest situationship you've been in?

00:08:21.760 Why was it a situationship?

00:08:23.980 And what made you stay in it for so long?

00:08:26.760 And did you ever promote her?

00:08:29.240 Or maybe you were on the end of wanting to be promoted.

00:08:31.720 Did you get promoted?

00:08:34.260 So we're going to watch some TikToks on situationships.

00:08:38.180 And then you guys can call in.

00:09:51.760 You know how they say it's always harder to get over someone that you never actually dated?

00:09:58.280 Well, I would like to add something to that.

00:10:00.440 Not only is it harder to get over someone that you never dated, it is the hardest to get over...

00:10:04.760 Someone said, I know a guy who's been in one for 35 years.

00:10:07.580 Seems like a great story.

00:10:08.880 Call in.

00:10:09.580 For someone that you never dated that you also met in a very serendipitous way.

00:10:14.120 And I know for a fact that is why it was so hard for me to get over a couple of the men

00:10:19.120 that I was involved with in my 20s.

00:10:21.280 And mind you, these are men that I never was in a committed relationship,

00:10:24.720 but because of the way that I met them in these crazy, unexpected, out of the blue, fairy tale ways.

00:10:32.400 Yeah.

00:10:32.640 So, when they say, I met him in a fairy tale way, it just means he has a script.

00:10:36.560 He's very good at running.

00:10:37.520 So, he's got, like, a routine that he's good at, like, putting women in. 0.85

00:10:42.380 It made it near...

00:10:44.520 Women are the ones in situationships. 1.00

00:10:48.920 Most of the time, they're older women that are desperate for a relationship and get one. 1.00

00:10:53.160 At Doug MPA, I've seen it both.

00:10:55.140 Honestly, these days, I'm being honest.

00:10:58.640 I see a good amount of men in situationships with young women where they want...

00:11:03.520 It's like they want the situationship to be taken seriously, but the women are young. 1.00

00:11:09.680 They're like, no, just sex.

00:11:12.140 I've seen it both ways.

00:11:14.400 The older women... 1.00

00:11:16.140 The older women, younger man... 1.00

00:11:20.700 I mean, that's another one that you see.

00:11:25.560 Nearly impossible for me to think that it wasn't destiny for me to be with them.

00:11:29.080 So, yeah, granted, they were showing me, they were definitely showing me in the moment who

00:11:35.020 they were as people, even if their actions were not aligning with their words at all,

00:11:39.020 even if they were hot and cold and treating me terribly.

00:11:42.720 Women close to hitting the wall will accept situations. 1.00

00:11:45.680 If I'm being honest, guys, I saw it the most in school.

00:11:49.720 That was like, when I was in college, more women were in situationships than relationships. 1.00

00:11:55.120 And some of them, it was on their terms.

00:12:00.460 Some of them, it wasn't.

00:12:01.600 But if I'm just being real here, that's what I saw it the most.

00:12:07.980 And I'm not trying to like white knight for women, right?

00:12:11.620 I'm just like, I have to go with what I'm seeing with my eyes.

00:12:15.760 So, yeah.

00:12:17.700 I simply just did not care because I was like, well, I met them in this way and this is how

00:12:22.600 I've always wanted to meet someone, so therefore it's just going to have to work out somehow.

00:12:26.600 And then I would get stuck in like very on and off situationships with people that sometimes

00:12:31.980 lasted up to two years.

00:12:33.580 So on top of already being someone who tends to project her daydreamed fantasies onto people

00:12:40.060 in the real world, even if they are showing the complete opposite, add to that the fact

00:12:44.660 that since I was a little girl, I've always wanted to meet someone in that like Disney princess

00:12:49.000 way, of course, it was hard for me to let go of these men.

00:12:52.980 Like, why wouldn't it have been hard?

00:12:54.600 Like one of the guys that I'm referring to, he actually chased me down as I was pulling

00:12:59.280 out of my parking lot to go to my friend's house.

00:13:01.380 Like he waved me down and made me stop my car and then ask for my number.

00:13:06.580 And then the other person I met while I was on vacation just hit it off right away.

00:13:11.260 We got along so well that we ended up spending like every single night together for the rest

00:13:16.000 of the time that I was there and then we just happened to either run into each other or see

00:13:20.000 each other for the next two years after that completely unplanned.

00:13:24.080 And mind you, this person and I both live in different countries.

00:13:27.360 Like there's no way that that's a coincidence.

00:13:30.680 So it was situations like that where I would either keep running into the person or the way

00:13:35.340 that I met them genuinely made me believe that this was going to be how it played out with

00:13:40.380 this person.

00:13:40.780 Like it was meant to be.

00:13:41.760 And I think unless you've been through this yourself or unless you are a very imaginative

00:13:46.860 person and you have a very clear idea of like how you want things to play out, which I know

00:13:52.660 you can't even control that.

00:13:53.900 You really won't understand how difficult it is to let go of people that you do meet in

00:13:57.660 these unexpected and serendipitous ways.

00:14:00.560 Like, I don't know, in my mind, it's just a lot easier for me to get over someone that

00:14:04.820 I meet on a dating app versus someone that I meet like in the wild, completely unplanned and

00:14:10.240 unexpected trust me when I say that I've been through this situation enough times now to

00:14:14.460 know that the way that you meet someone really does not play into the kind of person that

00:14:20.160 they are definitely had to learn that one the hard way.

00:14:22.740 But I'm just saying if you are someone that has also found it way more difficult to let

00:14:28.040 go of people that you met in these crazy ways, you are not alone.

00:14:32.140 Because I stand by the theory that the people that you meet in these kinds of ways are 10

00:14:37.900 times harder to let go of people.

00:14:39.720 Okay.

00:14:40.220 Yeah.

00:14:40.600 And what you get is when you meet a guy in a crazy way, he's practiced that.

00:14:44.380 So he's got choice. 0.97

00:14:46.100 Oh, I've been in a situation for six fucking years now. 0.99

00:14:51.980 I cannot believe I just said that on camera, but I'm so fucking over it. 0.98

00:14:55.820 I'm so over it. 0.59

00:14:57.320 Basically, this boy and I started dating when we were in high school and like, honestly,

00:15:02.180 that she was so toxic. 0.97

00:15:03.540 Like we were both stubborn as fuck and we would just argue constantly. 0.99

00:15:07.820 So what happens is women will always go back to the most alpha guy of their past. 1.00

00:15:13.320 So sometimes women find that guy in high school. 1.00

00:15:17.220 Sometimes we find that guy in college.

00:15:19.200 Sometimes we find that guy in the workforce.

00:15:20.880 Um, but usually, especially women, I want you guys to know if there's a woman that gives

00:15:27.260 you a really low body count and she's not lying, there's some ex that has a subscription 0.57

00:15:32.560 still.

00:15:33.380 I'm just letting you know.

00:15:35.180 But anyways, he broke up with me.

00:15:36.680 I was so sad, but then we remained really close friends and eventually just basically...

00:15:42.020 Because you guys have to think about it.

00:15:43.300 Women are getting, you know, thrown at us 24 seven. 1.00

00:15:47.060 And I want you, when you start looking at sex as a need, women's behavior makes way more 1.00

00:15:53.940 sense and like it humanizes us in a way.

00:15:57.000 Women, you know, men, it would be like, you know, women, they're going to find a way to 1.00

00:16:07.320 take care of that need.

00:16:08.900 And obviously women, we're going to do it in the most manipulative ways possible. 1.00

00:16:12.860 And exes are a great way to do it. 1.00

00:16:15.040 We continued to date, but without label. 0.99

00:16:19.580 And then we both went to the same fucking college. 0.98

00:16:22.960 So we weren't... 1.00

00:16:23.600 She picked that college. 0.97

00:16:24.880 ...dating then either, but we continued this, whatever the fuck that was going on. 1.00

00:16:28.880 And that shit fucked with my head because it felt so much like a relationship that when 0.99

00:16:32.660 I got upset at things like, which if you're in a relationship, it was totally valid, but 1.00

00:16:36.980 because we weren't, it wasn't justified.

00:16:39.440 And so I kept feeling all these things that I wasn't technically allowed to feel because

00:16:43.780 we weren't dating.

00:16:44.740 Like I've always been really shy with like dating and all of that.

00:16:47.040 Like I don't really know how to flirt. 1.00

00:16:48.900 Fuck me. 1.00

00:16:49.480 I'm 23 and I don't, I can't flirt. 1.00

00:16:52.300 And the thing is, it was on off, on off.

00:16:54.060 But because for me, I was so scared to like meet other people because I was so comfortable

00:16:58.680 in this little like security blanket.

00:17:00.400 So a lot of times guys, when you're meeting a woman and she's acting weird, there's someone

00:17:05.760 in the background.

00:17:07.060 Like if you, if you start thinking, I can tell she likes me, but there's something holding

00:17:12.160 me back or whatever there.

00:17:14.460 I promise to God, either she doesn't like you at all, or there's someone in the background.

00:17:19.360 That is this boy. 0.98

00:17:20.960 And I regret not going on dates and like fucking around in college because now I'm 23. 0.98

00:17:24.860 I work at home now. 0.80

00:17:25.980 So it's not like I can meet people at work.

00:17:28.180 And like, I don't want to do dating ads either.

00:17:29.660 Cause it just feels so forced. 0.99

00:17:30.980 And I've heard too many bad stories from friends that like, I'm not doing that shit. 0.97

00:17:34.920 But anyway, last year of college, we finally dated, which apparently recently I talked to 0.98

00:17:39.940 him about it.

00:17:40.480 And according to him, we weren't even dating back then, but we were doing like the whole flowers, 0.99

00:17:45.700 Valentine's day, all that shit. 0.96

00:17:47.100 So like, I don't know what's wrong with him. 0.99

00:17:48.920 It has come to my attention. 0.99

00:17:50.320 Finally, I need to move the fuck on. 0.99

00:17:54.020 And yeah. 0.98

00:17:54.400 And that's, that's what you're competing with.

00:17:56.040 And remember, this is a six year situationship.

00:17:59.580 Situationships oftentimes last longer than marriages.

00:18:03.120 Think about that.

00:18:04.520 Think about that.

00:18:05.860 Stop wasting my time on this boy.

00:18:07.340 We broke up the last year of college because of long distance, but now we're in the same 0.99

00:18:11.060 city in the same fucking friend group. 1.00

00:18:12.580 And it's so much harder, but fuck this. 1.00

00:18:14.780 This year, I told myself to stop wasting my time and energy on the people who don't return 1.00

00:18:18.560 the same energy back.

00:18:19.600 I'm 23, still have not dated anyone else.

00:18:23.520 Like at this point, I feel like I'm just going to die alone.

00:18:26.940 All my friends are in relationships too.

00:18:29.000 And it's so cute.

00:18:30.140 I'm like, I want one.

00:18:31.700 Where do people get one?

00:18:33.120 At this point, I feel like I've lost all of my dating skills because I didn't have to

00:18:36.760 use that muscle for like six years.

00:18:39.580 For the first time in my life, I finally feel like I'm ready to move on and meet other people. 0.76

00:18:47.040 I'm just fucking terrified too.

00:18:49.360 I keep saying that I'm only sticking with this boy because of comfort and familiarity. 0.98

00:18:53.260 But like, he's not giving me any of that because he's stressing me out so fucking much. 0.62

00:18:57.760 I just need to rant today. 0.93

00:18:59.020 Oh my God.

00:19:00.100 She just went up two points. 1.00

00:19:02.540 Holy shit. 0.99

00:19:03.560 Did you guys see that? 1.00

00:19:05.360 Oh my God.

00:19:05.880 Makeup works.

00:19:06.920 We can't deny this.

00:19:08.080 That's okay.

00:19:09.000 Hot girl rant. 0.51

00:19:10.780 Wait, I've been loving brushing my hair like this recently.

00:19:16.900 And just look at that.

00:19:18.680 All right.

00:19:19.680 So yeah, she's got the situation ship.

00:19:22.780 Let's see who's next.

00:19:29.360 Oh, this is the same one.

00:19:32.420 Okay.

00:19:33.200 Let's see who's next.

00:19:34.060 I just texted my situation ship of eight months and said, hey, I love coloring you.

00:19:39.880 Love coloring you.

00:19:40.920 But I'm never going to meet my husband if I keep coloring you. 0.96

00:19:44.020 And I think I actually am finally ready for more commitment from someone.

00:19:48.320 All was great in my head.

00:19:49.720 Like in my head, he didn't even reply.

00:19:51.920 Great.

00:19:52.500 Life lived on.

00:19:53.960 Why did he reply and say, who's to say that person can't be me?

00:19:58.580 Now she just got another six months.

00:20:06.260 He got another six months of subscription.

00:20:09.400 That wasn't in the script.

00:20:11.720 So now my brain is frozen.

00:20:17.700 He's taking notes.

00:20:19.020 All right.

00:20:19.600 Let's see who's next.

00:20:20.580 And this is super common for girls in their early 20s. 0.99

00:20:24.320 Like it's that that's, you know, you guys are saying the older women are in the situation

00:20:28.960 ships and maybe they are. 0.94

00:20:31.100 But I'm telling you in school, it was like everybody, everybody.

00:20:36.640 Say what you will, but I'm in what they call a long term situation ship.

00:20:42.000 It's an Aquarius.

00:20:43.060 So you already know.

00:20:44.180 Anyway, I'm a Libra. 0.99

00:20:45.060 So it's like two air signs and I get on his fucking nerves for sure. 0.98

00:20:48.740 So let's play a game of questions. 0.96

00:20:52.340 How long have we been in a situation ship?

00:20:54.400 I don't know.

00:20:55.120 I don't really count time like anniversaries.

00:20:58.880 It's just like time passage.

00:21:01.640 This guy does not care.

00:21:03.280 Two and a half years.

00:21:05.340 Who braided my hair for SoulCycle this morning?

00:21:09.000 I do because I've known how to braid for a long time.

00:21:12.960 Okay, but who makes me dinner every night?

00:21:14.920 Not every night, but me because I feed the cats and you around the same time.

00:21:21.300 How long have I been staying in your apartment?

00:21:25.780 Long enough.

00:21:27.060 I mean, you have your own.

00:21:28.720 I don't understand why you can't move the fuck out.

00:21:31.460 So why are we not in a relationship? 0.95

00:21:37.640 Because I can't even commit to my clothes. 0.98

00:21:40.500 Why the fuck would I commit to like a thing like that? 0.96

00:21:45.240 A thing. 0.99

00:21:47.520 He braids my hair.

00:21:49.420 He makes me food.

00:22:05.640 It's just something that like.

00:22:07.640 He like does not want to be on camera.

00:22:09.880 This is.

00:22:10.780 He's like, lady, you got a chest tattoo.

00:22:13.220 I can't do this.

00:22:15.680 It's there for the time. 0.53

00:22:17.180 It means when people just got too much shit going on that they don't have the time to put a label on something. 0.98

00:22:30.120 But, you know, that something is there all the fucking time. 0.99

00:22:35.220 Acting for food every night. 0.99

00:22:37.220 So like.

00:22:39.860 Anyway, two and a half years.

00:22:42.080 No commitment.

00:22:43.840 But he will braid my hair.

00:22:45.620 He will cook for me.

00:22:47.540 I can stay in his zoo of a. 0.99

00:22:59.320 There's cereal on the floor.

00:23:00.640 Why is there cereal?

00:23:01.460 I don't even eat cereal.

00:23:03.480 That's it.

00:23:05.020 Yeah.

00:23:06.900 Gonzo knows.

00:23:08.000 Ah, yeah.

00:23:08.580 See the guy in the background.

00:23:10.400 He's thinner and he kind of looked better looking at a glance.

00:23:15.060 Oh, I think.

00:23:15.940 Oh, this is.

00:23:16.320 Okay, so I'm in a new situation ship.

00:23:19.760 But I need you guys to tell me what base am I on.

00:23:22.820 Okay, like how serious is this?

00:23:24.620 Yeah, we're not official.

00:23:25.760 We're not exclusive.

00:23:26.620 We're not dating.

00:23:27.480 But we are watching Love Island USA together.

00:23:30.340 Even though we are currently on opposite sides of the country.

00:23:33.220 I'm in Chicago right now because I'm home and they're in LA.

00:23:36.120 And so what we've been doing is every night we've been like syncing up in how we watch Love Island.

00:23:40.740 Like we'll press play at the exact same time.

00:23:43.020 And then we'll binge like three or four episodes together.

00:23:45.620 Our entire text threads have just become like syncing up, pressing play, syncing up time codes.

00:23:50.740 Because also I have ads and they don't.

00:23:52.640 So that's become fickle.

00:23:54.160 Like we have like 10,000 text messages back and forth over the last few days where we've been

00:23:58.440 binging this show and just live texting it as it's happening.

00:24:01.560 This is commitment.

00:24:02.440 So yeah, guys, let me know.

00:24:03.640 Do you think it's serious enough for me to propose or like?

00:24:07.720 There's another one.

00:24:09.020 There's another one.

00:24:14.520 We'll be right back.
