00:00:00.000 I actually think polygamy makes the most sense. I hate it. I hate the idea of it. I don't want to 0.94
00:00:06.260 share my man with a bitch. Do you know what I mean? I hate the idea of it. But I have to be 1.00
00:00:11.180 honest that it kind of makes sense. What's up, guys? Welcome to my reaction series. Today,
00:00:16.660 we're going to react to Michael Knowles' useless, pointless solution. So Michael Knowles has hated 0.89
00:00:22.460 a lot on the red pill crowd. And it's interesting that he hates on them because he has no real
00:00:29.220 solutions for the dating crisis where guys in the red pill can actually point men to how to get laid
00:00:34.260 and how to solve some of their emotional uh physical and marital problems um so a lot of
00:00:39.140 times men like this that are commentators that are just professional talkers and stats people for a
00:00:43.620 living um they think they know more than the men actually doing the work so uh today we're gonna
00:00:49.620 watch this online dating according to ssrs polls 37 of us adults have ever used a dating site or app
00:00:57.620 app six to seven percent are currently using one this is obviously much higher among young adults
00:01:03.500 the majority of young adults have tried the apps I got the last chopper out of nom so I was never
00:01:09.420 on the apps but 51 to 65 percent of 18 to 29 year olds have tried the apps and the apps sometimes
00:01:17.080 do lead to marriage it's not just all hookups I've been to weddings of people who met on the
00:01:20.980 apps 27 of couples who married last year two years ago first met through dating apps hey a lot of
00:01:27.420 times a hookup can help you meet your husband ladies you throw back you throw back the right
00:01:33.900 way on the right day for the right guy you can beat your husband throwing it back don't knock
00:01:38.860 on hookup culture you know what i mean websites okay so then what's the problem what's really
00:01:43.740 driving it i think the answer is not too much materialism like the church ladies will scold you
00:01:49.340 like the boomers will scold you it i think it's actually too little materialism i think
00:01:54.860 that the dating recession you understand the whole thing when you realize the role of apps
00:02:00.460 in all of this because one it means that you're you're dating effectively mediated by a device
00:02:06.540 so your dating is is not driven by the look and touch of your loved one it's not how your loved
00:02:11.900 one smells i don't whatever you know like joe biden style smell the hair it's it's all kind
00:02:16.700 of virtual it's all clinical it's all at a distance uh it doesn't uh make use of your
00:02:23.260 whole person which is your body so that leads into the the confidence issue everything is so
00:02:28.900 uh in your face and the internet is forever so it's harder to get past older relationships
00:02:34.760 because you've been posting pictures of your boyfriend or girlfriend for years for everybody
00:02:39.300 to see maybe uh and very likely if you're a zoomer you've sent untoward photographs which are yeah 0.99
00:02:46.340 nudes are big your wife's tits are in someone else's phone fellas we're gonna live forever 0.98
00:02:53.240 on the end and that it's natural for a guy or a girl to not want to date someone who's got a 0.99
00:02:58.040 bunch of nude pics but see how he he defaults to egalitarianism it's not the same it is not the
00:03:03.600 same um it's worse for for women obviously um uh men do adapt and men are going to accept this
00:03:12.180 unfortunately um i know what you guys are thinking pearl i would never accept it sorry guys i'm too
00:03:16.560 black-pilled any woman that's halfway attractive someone's gonna do it um so it's floating around
00:03:21.840 and pictures of them dating other people all around the internet. That's sort of natural too. 0.70
00:03:28.100 The real problem for the dating recession is not too much materialism. I think that it's
00:03:33.760 too little materialism. And I think there's a really simple way to correct this. I don't know
00:03:40.380 if it's easy, but it's a simple way to correct the problem, which is to remember. Do you know
00:03:45.620 what marriage is about? Do you know the main thing marriage is about? It's about sex. That's
00:03:51.520 what marriage is about. And we don't believe that anymore because Anthony Kennedy on the Supreme
00:03:55.640 Court writes romantic poetry about how marriage doesn't have to do, certainly not with sexual
00:03:59.920 difference. Okay. I actually agree with him here. It is about sex. Not necessarily. But that's why 0.54
00:04:04.340 you can't wait. You can't wait until marriage. You're putting the ball in her court. Find your
00:04:08.120 trad wife at Coachella, fellas. About having sex. It's about a right to intimacy. There are a lot 1.00
00:04:15.000 of people today, even conservative people, who will say, you don't owe your spouse sex. The old 0.72
00:04:20.160 idea was that there's a marital debt that actually spouses have the right to have sex well that's
00:04:24.380 the question because again do we force women to have sex with men they're not attracted to you 0.99
00:04:28.460 give women choice we will always pick chad chad brad tyrone whatever that girl's type is right 0.95
00:04:33.880 um you don't give women choice then we are forced to have sex with men we're not attracted to which 0.85
00:04:40.560 do you want daily wire pick one actually each other sorry i try not to go blue too much uh
00:04:45.120 viewer discretion if you've got young kids watching right now but but that's what it's
00:04:48.440 Or we go to polygamy. I kind of, I actually think polygamy makes the most sense. I hate it. I hate
00:04:53.660 the idea of it. Like, I don't, I don't want to share my man with a bitch. Do you know what I 1.00
00:04:58.820 mean? I hate, I hate the idea of it, but I have to be honest that it kind of makes sense because,
00:05:04.480 um, the average men that like, I think, okay, if a guy wasn't giving up his options, he'd be more
00:05:13.480 likely to not ghost a woman. Like if Chad could keep a few ladies, he'd be less likely to pass
00:05:18.800 them, you know? And then a guy that maybe doesn't start off as Chad, but becomes Chad, maybe he
00:05:25.020 doesn't want to marry a 40 year old broad or a 30 year old broad or, um, you know, but he, he's not,
00:05:31.720 it's not as bad if he gets to take them as a second wife. And there's so many women that are
00:05:36.440 going to need redemption. Um, I don't think it's going to be the worst idea to maybe have us share 0.87
00:05:43.160 met. That's the thing that distinguishes it from other unions. Marriage, in other words, is
00:05:49.180 a union of a man and a woman ordered toward the procreation and education of children
00:05:54.820 for life. It's a lifelong union. That's what distinguishes it from all the other kinds of
00:05:59.360 relationships. And so it's not that complicated. And if marriage is about sex, that means that
00:06:05.840 dating has to take place in person. It has to be about the body. It's not just about the body.
00:06:12.220 you're not just going out to find that little baddie you know at the at the club you're not
00:06:16.480 just uh you know measuring the height of the giga chad if you're a chick there's there's more to it
00:06:21.340 too but it is largely about the body so if you're spending all of your time on apps texting each
00:06:29.540 other uh swiping right sending even pictures which has more to do with the body but it's still
00:06:34.600 just glittering images you're you're setting yourself up for failure and you're creating all
00:06:40.220 sorts of impediments to your future relationship and to your marriage. This is the problem. It's not
00:06:47.220 just when you're dating online virtually with all the pictures and all the texts and everything,
00:06:54.620 you are in a way robbing your future spouse of something. If your future spouse knows that
00:07:00.880 these things are going to be all around the internet. And furthermore, you are not actually
00:07:06.080 testing the things that marriage is about because you should not be married over the phone.
00:07:10.220 so you have to do it in person this ties in with this other social scientific uh study that came
00:07:18.420 out just a few months ago which is that teenagers are drinking less and everyone thought that was
00:07:22.160 a great thing but it's actually a very bad thing young people shouldn't be drinking underage i
00:07:26.380 guess but the the problem i think people are just getting anti-social and staying at home it's an
00:07:33.000 indicator of social like i went on um i went in a tiktok space the other day and these people just
00:07:38.080 hang out every day virtually and you have to think what does that do to the psyche of people
00:07:43.900 when they're just hanging out virtually and not in person and i mean there's times where i would
00:07:49.080 do twitter spaces like every night and you just kind of feel yourself getting kind of weird and
00:07:53.440 i think it's why everybody's so socially awkward the reason that they're not drinking is not because
00:07:58.780 they're the new temperance movement the reason they're not drinking is because they're not
00:08:01.680 hanging out because they're just chilling on their own all the time yeah so this relates to
00:08:06.380 other problems of socialization. It means that even guys are not spending enough time with guys,
00:08:11.440 so they don't even know how to behave like men, which means that they're not going to be that
00:08:15.480 confident when they're approaching women. Same thing goes for women.
00:08:20.420 This is one of the chief challenges of our entire age. It explains the transgender phenomenon. 1.00
00:08:25.640 It explains... I think transgender are just men that want female attention, so they switch. 1.00
00:08:30.580 uh the alienation and isolation and the dating recession we're not doing stuff in person and so 0.99
00:08:37.580 my the love doctor's recommendation is that if you want to turn these numbers around one there's
00:08:44.740 legitimately a role for the government in this and there's certainly a role for the families in
00:08:48.960 limiting screen time and all that stuff for for kids and teenagers there's a role of self-discipline
00:08:55.020 which is that you have to go put yourself out there in person how many countless emails and
00:08:59.440 and messages to the mailbag have i gotten saying it's so hard for me today from women from men and
00:09:04.640 they say i went to my church but there's no one at my church okay then you got to go somewhere
00:09:07.920 other than your church you've got to go out there in person even if you're going to use the apps
00:09:11.040 because most young people are on the apps you can't you should have like four texts and then
00:09:15.440 you need to go get a drink together or go get dinner or something but you got to move it off
00:09:19.920 the platform okay and when you do that you need what text do you see this is when you know they
00:09:24.880 don't really know anything because it's like what texts do they send because he doesn't have any 1.00
00:09:30.880 experience make sure you have riz all right without further ado there's a big trend among the zoomers 0.98
00:09:35.920 it is riz maxing these these young pickup artists are posting their best moves to pick up chicks 0.91
00:09:42.400 i with a little experience a few gray hairs at least here have a of italian extraction so we
00:09:47.680 have a little healthy dose of riz ourselves i will give you the proper understanding of how
00:09:54.480 to riz max and find yourself a sweet honey take it away years after the heyday of the pickup artists
00:10:01.840 gen z has taken up that trend they call it riz maxing they are trying pickup artist moves at
00:10:10.720 local and that's funny because he's now saying this is the solution after hating on the red pill
00:10:15.840 social spots and naturally posting them to tick tock so i am very concerned about the collapse
00:10:22.720 in marriage rates in young people not getting together the decline of love and so the love
00:10:28.400 doctor has taken his seat we are going to diagnose all of the issues here and adjudicate the very best
00:10:36.880 gen z riz maxxers excuse me if you can make me laugh you can get my number
00:10:51.200 oh my god you what you could get my number here you could put your number in
00:10:58.720 love it 10 out of 10. i you know i would in my in my youth i would have been a little more
00:11:06.240 a little more subtle probably but you know what i really love about that move is it doesn't insult
00:11:12.880 the woman a lot of the pickup artist types i think they called it negging they would they said the way
00:11:18.000 to pick up a woman is to insult her and i find that wrong in itself and i kind of slimy and just
00:11:22.880 not it's not a good way to start a relationship and a love affair so what i love about this is 0.96
00:11:29.600 it's kind of wholesome it's just women nag men all the time they nag men really kind of it's a little 0.98
00:11:35.040 bit of a goofy joke and then it it it inverts expectations subverts and even inverts expectations 0.98
00:11:42.720 which is funny right because it's incongruous and it kind of works it displays confidence which is 0.73
00:11:49.120 chiefly what women want and it is funny which is the other thing women want confidence and funny
00:11:54.880 will win out over looks yeah i don't think that's confidence and funny will win out over money
00:12:00.560 confidence and funny do not underestimate confidence and a decent sense of humor that
00:12:04.560 That was very, very good.
00:12:05.600 10 out of 10.
00:12:06.220 Next one.
00:12:07.120 Excuse me.
00:12:08.180 Where'd you get that?
00:12:09.840 That smile.
00:12:11.960 Can I get your number?
00:12:13.340 Oh, she did not like that.
00:12:15.720 Please!
00:12:17.080 Please!
00:12:18.560 Yeah?
00:12:19.120 Okay.
00:12:20.080 Here.
00:12:24.040 What's your name?
00:12:25.740 Kendall?
00:12:26.660 Wow.
00:12:27.000 Okay.
00:12:27.300 That did all.
00:12:27.840 I don't know.
00:12:28.160 Is this a setup or is that real?
00:12:31.560 Some of these have to be staged.
00:12:33.040 That one might have been real.
00:12:34.020 i like i started out hating that one because it was just a cheesy line and you don't actually
00:12:38.500 want to do a cheesy line people joke about cheesy pickup lines but you don't actually want to use
00:12:43.820 them that's really lame and it speaks to a lack of confidence really it's an insecurity but it
00:12:48.500 was the second part that added because it was in fact the whole cheesy pickup line was just as set
00:12:54.100 up for the second part to show desperation i've thought this i remember especially in the early
00:13:00.980 days of this show when i was closer to my single days uh people would write in young guys write
00:13:05.880 in and say how do i get a girl how do i riz them up you know and frankly in those days was probably
00:13:10.520 before the word riz was popular and i said well one thing that you you got to do you can either
00:13:16.520 be real subtle real smooth where the girl doesn't even know that you just asked her for a number you
00:13:21.060 know it's like you're so just smooth as velvet or you'd be really over the top and i being of
00:13:28.040 italian extraction i i always preferred the latter method rather than just like hey i'm so
00:13:33.560 like maybe you know are you free on saturday night i don't know you could either do that but it's 0.98
00:13:41.080 like it seems to be stop being such a little bitch or you'd say hey sheila sally hey you 1.00
00:13:51.160 you're the most beautiful girl in the world and i will die yeah and then the women will put it on 1.00
00:13:55.960 tiktok we'll put it on tiktok and make fun of you so wait let's keep right and it works next
