00:51:41.340I don't know why the guy just doesn't pay for it. That simpler.
00:51:45.240yeah so two percent of women are marriage material 650 000 was it 680 or 50 you said
00:51:56.140that men no 265 000 cash expenses that men will will spend on average on pursuing women yeah wow
00:52:02.760but you actually think it would be higher if you included what they could do with that time
00:52:06.500oh god that's 9.6 million if men if i did some numbers of research more recently the what i did
00:52:14.760back in when I wrote the book and did the research, if you take all the time, I'm sorry,
00:52:18.720not the time. If you take all the money, the average man is going to cash spend on women at
0.97
00:52:24.620the moments in time they spend it from, let's say, age 13 to 30 or whatever. And you were to take
00:52:30.760that money and toss it in the S&P 500 index. By the end of that, by the time you were like 65 or
00:52:37.00070 around retirement age, you'd have $9.6 million, assuming historical average rates of return.
00:52:43.900uh that's more of a testament to the power of compound math uh but i mean even younger men
00:52:51.080man if i didn't chase girls when i was younger i could i mean you literally could have taken that
00:52:55.380time and built a house with your own hands or gotten a phd really serious amount serious
00:53:02.500amounts of time in other words most of men's free time when you're not working most of men's free
00:53:09.460time is in the pursuit of women. So we're talking tremendous amount of time investment there. But a
00:53:16.020better way to look at it is I on a much more simple mathematical calculation, your average young man
00:53:22.500makes around 15 $16 an hour. And you have a choice. You want to spend that hour swiping left
00:53:29.060or right on dating apps and have very little rate of return? Or do you work that extra hour? And
00:53:34.740again, you got to think opportunity costs. It's not what it's costing you today, boys. It's what
00:53:40.580you could have been doing with your time otherwise. And a simple default baseline opportunity cost is
00:53:46.580you could always throw it into the market. You take that $15 in one hour, and you throw in the
00:53:52.020S&P 500 between the ages of 18 to 22, you're going to have $430 by the time you're 65. That's your
00:53:59.720real opportunity cost. They say, well, what's the value of a man's time, especially a young man?
00:54:03.860well i'm poor and i ain't got no money yeah but you have opportunity you have a future
00:54:08.820and that is a minimum thing that you can do and so what men should be doing is saying okay it's
00:54:14.660going to cost me four hours to go on this date that's a 1700 date if you were just work extra
00:54:20.740hours toss that money in the s p 500 or pay off debt or work on your car any one of these other
00:54:26.980things you're financially you're going to come out way ahead now you may not find love and
00:54:32.820Like there is no pursuit of women that doesn't cost anything, but is a tremendous opportunity cost to young men, assuming you would be industrious with that time.
00:54:43.420Otherwise, if you're going to go watch corn and you're going to go play video games and do pot, then you have no opportunity cost.
