00:00:00.000 Gad Saad, visiting professor at Ole Miss and the author of Suicidal Empathy.
00:00:04.920 All right, Gad Saad, why are men and women not getting along?
00:00:12.060 You know, I probably received, Jesse, three, four desperate emails a week from women saying,
00:00:18.520 I go out to a bar to meet some beautiful, hunky man and no one will approach me.
00:00:24.680 And I think the problem with that is quite simple because from this side of your mouth,
00:00:28.260 You say that you want to meet lovely men, but then you take your women's studies classes where apparently if a man approaches to seduce you, he's engaging in sexual harassment.
00:00:39.040 So most men become tepid. They sit on the couch, as you said.
00:00:43.020 Maybe they'll just surf and watch porn rather than be accused of being verbal rapists. 0.71
00:00:48.140 And so we have we have some real issues with our sexual dynamics. 0.97
00:00:51.500 I hope that we can turn it around soon because our civilization depends on us having sex.
00:00:56.320 It sure does. And we have to have sex like our life depends on it. The the art of seduction, you're saying, is being criminalized. Also, isn't the fact that you can sit at home and basically anything you want is at the tip of your fingers?
00:01:10.380 exactly i mean look the dynamics between men and women is that women wish for men to pursue them
00:01:17.620 i mean don't be creepy about it don't be rapey about it but there is a signal that is sent when
00:01:23.140 a man has to develop the courage the charisma the sophistication to approach you given that the odds
00:01:29.660 of him being rejected are high that's part of how women choose the pretenders from the the real deal 0.95
00:01:36.240 And so once we remove that calculus, it becomes easy for everybody to sit in their sweats at home. 1.00
00:01:43.600 And there goes the fertility rate of the Western nations.
00:01:46.880 Should men think about like baseball?
00:01:49.860 You know, even if you're bad, 300, you know, you're still going to the all star game.
00:01:54.420 I mean, you can't be afraid to strike out.
00:01:57.980 Exactly right.
00:01:58.840 It is a numbers game.
00:02:00.080 But I fully understand the fact that it truly does take huge courage for most men to approach women.
00:02:06.240 So you could be maybe calculated if you're a six on the mating market, maybe don't take a shot at
00:02:11.540 a 10. But there's somebody for everywhere, for everyone. Take a shot, get out there,
00:02:16.960 meet your beautiful person and make babies. What about the dating apps? How do they factor into
00:02:23.120 this? Well, they make it so much simpler for people to do the swiping right and left. I think
00:02:29.580 you and I are probably old enough to never have gone through this. Sometimes I sit with my wife
00:02:34.240 on the couch and I go, thank God that we've been married for 26 years, because it seems to me like
00:02:39.940 a complete mystery that people can choose life partners by swiping left and right. Probably not
00:02:45.240 a good technological advance. And the young children, I mean, your teenagers used to go
00:02:52.000 into your friends' houses all the time, used to run around, everybody was outside. Why aren't
00:02:56.220 people going outside anymore? Yeah, so there is a term, this is not my term, it's called nature
00:03:02.260 deficit disorder. The idea is that we have a biophilic interest. We have an innate love of
00:03:07.920 nature that actually regulates our hormones, that makes us feel good. I could run on a treadmill or
00:03:13.680 run in the forest the exact same mileage. I'll get a lot more benefit if I do it outside in nature.
00:03:19.240 So, yes, go outside and play. Go to the bar and meet the lovely people. Stop laying in your couch.
00:03:26.520 All right. We call it forest bathing on Jesse Waters' prime time, and maybe it'll lead to
00:03:31.520 something else you never know like actual i don't want to say it gad sad great to talk to you as
00:03:37.200 always thank you so much cheers what happened
