00:03:25.640
today, actually. I suspect we will. Do you do stand-up comedy? You do skits? I do stand-up. I've been,
00:03:31.960
like, a little closer to my case. Oh, I do stand-up. I've been dabbling in skits
00:03:36.540
lately, too. Okay. Like, anything comedy, I'm pretty much into. Is that like, is that like TikTok
00:03:42.240
stuff, or? Yeah, I do be funny on TikTok, but I would say my main, like, comedy expression
00:03:50.160
is doing stand-up. Okay. You do be funny on TikTok. Yeah. Okay. If I don't laugh, I'm going
00:03:57.520
to be very mad by the end of this, okay? Yes, you have to make him laugh. You need to make me laugh.
00:04:01.520
He's laughing before this. He's laughing on the inside. That was off the record? Off the record.
00:04:06.880
Off the record laughing. Off the record. Okay. Starting now. He may or may not have been laughing
00:04:10.880
before this. And you said you do social media. Do you do, do you have, do you do any adult content,
00:04:16.040
or is it? Yes, I do OnlyFans. Okay, gotcha. What about you? My name is Ria. I am 21 years old. I'm
00:04:23.840
originally from the Philippines, but I've been in LA for about 11 years now, and I work as a recovery
00:04:30.440
counselor for a psychiatric facility, and I'm also an office assistant for a clothing brand.
00:04:36.540
Okay, gotcha. What, what got you into the working at the, uh, you said it was a recovery facility.
00:04:41.300
What got you into that? Um, well, I personally used to struggle with my mental health, and if it
00:04:46.360
weren't for certain people, I wouldn't be where I am today, so I kind of just wanted to give back to my
00:04:51.060
community. Gotcha. Yeah. Um, what, if you don't mind us asking, what, was there anything in specific,
00:04:56.740
or, like, is it, like, crisis intervention type stuff, or more, like, low-key type mental health
00:05:02.840
services, or? It's a residential facility, so it's basically a voluntary psych ward. Voluntary psych
00:05:09.440
ward. Yeah, like, there's no, like, 5150 holds. Like, if you're having a mental health crisis, you can,
00:05:14.020
um, turn yourself into the ER, and you can get referred to my facility. So you could voluntarily
00:05:19.280
go there directly, or do you have to go to the ER first, and then they would refer you, or? Yeah,
00:05:24.140
you have to go to the ER first. You need a referral. Okay. Gotcha. Okay, interesting. All right,
00:05:29.620
uh, what about you? Hi, my name is Lexi. I'm 24 years old. I'm from Pennsylvania, and, um, I model
00:05:37.280
online and also in real life. Okay, what do you mean you model online? OnlyFans. Okay. Yeah. Gotcha.
00:05:44.340
OnlyFans model. Gotcha. Yes. Uh, what about you? Hi, my name is Case. I am 19. I'm from San Diego,
00:05:51.000
and I'm a student at UC Santa Barbara. My major is Psychological and Brain Sciences. Ooh, fancy. Okay,
00:05:58.320
very cool. What about you? Uh, my name's Armani. I am 18, and I'm from a small town, like, outside of
00:06:05.020
Sacramento, down that way. And then I go, I'm a student at the Community College. CC, Santa Barbara
00:06:11.400
City College. Okay. Yeah, the Community College, and I'm a Nursing Major. Nursing Major, and you two are
00:06:15.520
friends, correct? Yeah, we're roommates. Yeah. Oh, you're housemates, but you go to CC, and she goes to UCSB. Yeah.
00:06:20.380
I commute, like, about 10 minutes. Okay. Did you guys know each other from back home, or? No. Actually,
00:06:24.940
I met her through one of my hometown friends. Tinder? Oh, okay. Oh, okay. She's actually my
00:06:29.120
Tinder date. Guys, I'm just kidding. Christian Mingle? Farmers only? Uh-huh. Okay. All the above?
00:06:35.200
I basically met her through one of my hometown, like, besties. Yeah. She was her roommate in the
00:06:40.560
dorms. Yeah. Okay. Gotcha. And, sorry, did you say what you're studying at Santa Barbara City
00:06:45.100
College? Uh, yeah, Nursing. Nursing. That's right. That's right. Cool. Welcome. What about you?
00:06:48.980
Hi, my name is Gia Chacon. I'm 26 years old. I am from Orange County, California, and I'm the
00:06:56.220
founder of For the Martyrs, which is a non-profit organization advocating for victims of Christian
00:07:02.100
persecution. Advocating for victims of Christian persecution. What is Christian persecution?
00:07:10.540
So, it's the persecution of Christians solely because of their beliefs. Oh, so would this be,
00:07:15.800
this is predominantly people who are overseas, I imagine, like, in other countries? Definitely.
00:07:19.900
Yeah, actually. So, some statistics, one-third of the world faces religious oppression, and an
00:07:25.100
overwhelming 80% of the oppressed are Christians. So, we're talking about Christians in the Middle East.
00:07:29.900
I'm sure everybody knew what was happening, or at least watched the news at some point when ISIS was
00:07:35.780
campaigning a war on Christians in the Middle East, and we saw an 80% decrease in the Christian
00:07:42.740
population in just one generation. So, it's just an example of some of cases of persecution of
00:07:49.920
Christians. Is that because they fled the area, or because they were killed? It's both, but there was
00:07:54.540
a genocide of Christians, both in Iraq and Syria, and actually, right now, there's a genocide of
00:08:00.260
Christians happening in Nigeria, believe it or not. In just one year, we had over 2,500 Christians that
00:08:06.740
were killed because of their beliefs. Damn, is there, what's going on? Is there anything, like,
00:08:12.200
in South America going on, or is it pretty chill there? Actually, yeah, believe it or not. Oh, shit.
00:08:15.920
Yeah, so. Everywhere? Not everywhere, but, first of all, communism is on the rise in South America,
00:08:22.340
and under communist governments, religious people suffer. So, any people of faith are suffering under
00:08:28.220
a communist government. It's the same in China. But right now, in Nicaragua, actually,
00:08:32.520
they're imprisoning priests and pastors for refusing to shut down their churches. And Mexico,
00:08:39.840
which is not quite South America, but in Mexico, priests are being killed because of the cartel.
00:08:44.940
So, we're seeing, like, an increase of priests being murdered because they're a threat to the
00:08:49.720
power of the cartel. So, it's really a global issue, and it continues to increase every year.
00:08:55.080
Oh, shit. Yo, Adam Barnett, thank you for the 20 gifted memberships. Thank you very much. Did you
00:09:01.240
have something, or? Nope. Oh, you're just finger gunning. And so, do you, do you, like, you go into
00:09:07.620
these countries, and you try to get them out, or how, like, what, what are you guys advocating?
00:09:11.240
So, we do a couple things. Yeah, so, first of all, we try to meet the immediate needs of Christians
00:09:16.740
who are suffering. So, we've done on-the-ground work in Jordan with the Iraqi and Syrian refugees.
00:09:22.980
In 2020, when there was the major war that happened between Azerbaijan and Armenia, we brought
00:09:28.220
crisis relief to internally displaced Christians. I was in Iraq in 2022. I brought humanitarian aid
00:09:36.980
to internally displaced Christians in Erbil. So, a lot of work in the Middle East.
00:09:44.980
My name is Madison. I'm 18 years old. I'm currently a student at Santa Barbara City College studying
00:09:51.200
Econ and Accounting. I work for the Whatever Podcast. I'm a host at a bar, and, yeah, that's all.
00:10:02.620
My name is Matt, or Stay Safe TV Online. I'm a Twitch streamer and YouTuber, and I'm also
00:10:08.040
the owner of the Business Power Gum, which is a caffeinated chewing gum.
00:10:11.260
Yes, and by the way, welcome back, Matt. Back by popular demand, I think. Matt was on Dating
00:10:19.240
Talk number 79, and we saw you guys in the comments.
00:10:24.500
That was a wild show, and a lot of people were like, you got to bring Matt back. And it
00:10:31.520
was unfortunate, too, because there was a little situation in that episode. So, unfortunately,
00:10:35.680
we didn't get to cover as many topics as we would have liked to during that show, but
00:10:41.080
No situations today. No crazy situations today.
00:10:43.740
Yeah, no crazy situations today. Let's keep it tame.
00:10:46.120
Yeah, but Matt's a friend of the podcast. He's come all the way from Washington to be
00:10:50.320
here. Awesome guy. Great guy. By the way, he's a Chad female gnome warlock in World of
00:10:55.860
Warcraft. You can catch him streaming twitch.tv slash stay safetv, correct?
00:11:00.940
And he streams World of Warcraft, some other stuff. He's about to embark on the hardcore
00:11:09.940
They're coming out soon. Just a quick note on PowerGum. Last time Matt was here, he
00:11:13.620
graciously left the team some boxes of PowerGum. So, we've been nomming on it, and we're happy
00:11:24.960
to do a little promo. You can use code whatever at PowerGum, or excuse me, Power-Gum.com to
00:11:32.780
get 10% off. Basically, it's a caffeinated gum. It's what, 50 milligrams of caffeine, right?
00:11:37.740
Yep. There's a bunch of vitamins, vitamin D, vitamin B. It's super convenient. It fits
00:11:42.000
in your pocket. So, I mean, I would say just stop wasting your money on Starbucks. They
00:11:46.320
dump a bunch of sugar in that crap. And I'm not even a coffee drinker, and I've been having
00:11:51.080
no caffeine. I don't really drink energy drinks. Don't drink coffee. I've been having one or two
00:11:56.100
of these a day just as a little pick-me-up. And it's definitely been super helpful with
00:12:00.680
work and energy levels. So, yeah. I don't know if you wanted to tell us a little more about it.
00:12:05.280
Yeah, it's convenient. Really, I mean, I go to the gym every day. I have been playing video games
00:12:10.620
all day every day for the last five years as a Twitch streamer. And I tried all the caffeine
00:12:14.420
products, all the drinks, the powders, the pills. And I'm like, all of these suck. They're all
00:12:19.780
terrible. So, I figured I'd try to make something new. And so, I made PowerGum, which is just a
00:12:23.680
caffeinated chewing gum. But it's really, really, really good. We've been in business for about
00:12:27.520
two years. We've sold just about, well, I think as of like a week ago, we've sold 10,000 boxes
00:12:32.620
of PowerGum over the last two years. We ship internationally. Over 50% of people that buy
00:12:38.860
one box of PowerGum, they come back and buy a second box. Wow. That's like a, that's a better
00:12:42.960
return customer rate. That is a testament. That's, that's a better returning customer rate than like
00:12:46.860
a crack dealer. Okay. It's good. Not that this is as bad. Listen, okay. Maybe that's the wrong way
00:12:51.740
to put it, but people like it. Okay. The point is, it's a good product. So, if you buy it, I think
00:12:55.880
you'll like it. Use code whatever, 10% off. There you go. Yeah, there you go. There you go. And there you go.
00:13:00.980
I was going to say one other thing about it, but it slipped my mind.
00:13:09.260
You've got to get gum on it. If you can chew it, you can do it. Boom. That's what I say.
00:13:12.400
If you can chew it, you can do it. There you go. In any case, so we are going to go around the table
00:13:19.320
and get everyone's current relationship status. So,
00:13:22.560
Brian, before you do that, it won't let me show the super chest. If I click show.
00:13:38.500
Sorry, guys. We're having a little technical issue. However, I'll go adjust that really quick.
00:13:43.460
So, we're going to go around the table. What's your current relationship status? So,
00:13:47.180
are you single, friends with benefits, talking stage, situationship, relationship? If you
00:13:52.460
are single, how long have you been single? And also, what's just your longest relationship
00:13:56.220
you've ever had? And let's start with you. Go ahead.
00:13:59.340
Okay. I'm single right now. I would say I'm like an ex-serial monogamist. I was in like
00:14:06.460
multiple serious relationships back to back. The longest one was four years. And two of
00:14:13.780
them were in different countries. So, they were long distance. Yeah. How long ago was
00:14:21.340
that? About four years. Where were those guys living? Actually, no. I'm lying. Three years.
00:14:28.460
England. I dated a guy who was in the military. And he was English. And then I dated a Parisian
00:14:38.380
man, too. Was it hard during long distance? It was difficult, but I feel like there was
00:14:46.500
a lot of good things about it. It was actually probably one of the best relationships I ever
00:14:52.780
had. We cherished our moments together more. We got to know each other way more. And when
00:14:58.240
we would see each other, we would do stuff because we hadn't seen each other in a while.
00:15:03.820
Distance made you closer. Yeah. But it can get hard. Like in the end, I think that's why we
00:15:08.660
split up because you can only do that for so long. It starts to feel like a chore, like
00:15:13.420
texting every day. How often would you guys like see each other throughout your relationship?
00:15:18.760
So, because he was in the military, he had specific times off. So, like we would always,
00:15:25.060
I would spend about a month there at Christmas. We would go back and forth. He would see me
00:15:30.640
and then I would see him. So, it was like very planned out because he had specific time off.
00:15:36.520
So, it would be like two weeks and then two weeks. The longest would be about a month.
00:15:41.580
And you guys were monogamous when you were, even when you were apart?
00:15:52.720
So, towards the end, I was like, we were having problems and I was like, we should be in an open
00:16:00.520
I also had like a friend who was like very into that. So, I think she kind of like planted the
00:16:05.760
seed in my head a little bit. So, I told him that and he was like, no, no for months. And then
00:16:13.460
finally, he was like, okay, we can try it. And he ended up being with someone else and I didn't.
00:16:28.360
Two years. Okay. And you said your longest relationship was what?
00:16:35.120
I've had like other like two year, three year relationships too though.
00:16:41.160
I'm single. I've been single for a day and my longest relationship was a year and a half.
00:16:49.680
Yeah. Like, I don't know who runs the Instagram account, but when I responded to the questions,
00:16:56.740
Oh, wow. Holy. Okay. Wait. So, okay. And how long was the relationship that just ended?
00:17:05.580
Okay. Two months. And was that your longest relationship or?
00:17:08.320
No, my longest relationship is a year and a half. Who ended it?
00:17:13.500
The longest relationship or the most recent relationship?
00:17:21.180
So, one day ago, by the way, how long were you dating said person? Man, woman?
00:17:33.580
I mean, we were official for a month, but seeing each other for two months total.
00:17:45.060
Several reasons. We kind of just had different expectations from each other in a relationship.
00:17:52.240
Like the more our relationship progressed, we just, or I just realized that we weren't too compatible.
00:17:59.560
I'm scared to say too much because he watches this. So, hey, yeah.
00:18:03.500
Do you want to wave to him into this camera and just be like, hey, is he upset about the breakup or?
00:18:13.160
Yeah. He's very, well, no, I'm not going to say that.
00:18:20.920
Okay. We should have had him come on and then you guys could have worked it out or.
00:18:26.200
Figured out all the. Okay. What about you? What's your situation?
00:18:30.160
I am single. I've been in one relationship my whole life and that was, it lasted two years.
00:18:39.560
And that was between, I was 17 to 19. So, now it's been like five years I've been single.
00:18:45.820
Five years single. Okay. I mean, in that five-year period, what would you say is like the longest period of time that you've been seeing somebody?
00:18:53.920
Maybe you haven't had a boyfriend, but maybe there was a three-month fling or something.
00:18:57.520
Yeah. I've had a few like situationships, but they've never progressed. I'm actually somewhat in one right now, but.
00:19:11.780
Yeah. I mean, I feel like it's important to get to know someone before you date them. So, that's kind of where that's at right now. So, yeah, we're just, you know, getting to know each other.
00:19:25.520
Yeah. I'm always exclusive. You know, I'm never going to like talk to more than one person at a time. And if, you know, for any reason, like I were to, I would let the other person know. Like, you know, that's what I'm doing.
00:19:41.580
Is the guy that you're seeing, is he exclusive to you right now?
00:19:44.820
Yes. As far as I know. Yeah. And, you know, he does seem very honest with me. So, I do appreciate that. So, I think we're honest with each other.
00:19:55.180
Is it really a situationship? I mean, you're both exclusive to each other. You've been seeing each other for what, two months?
00:20:00.400
Yes. That's a good question. And I have definitely brought that up to him as well. I was like, what are we doing? Is this going to, you know, turn into anything? So, it's just, you know, it's just one of those things. People are complicated and relationships are complicated.
00:20:15.960
So, you want it to be something more than it is right now?
00:20:20.420
Yes, I do. But I'm also not going to wait forever.
00:20:29.000
I kind of think the same thing. He just wants to get to know me as a person and like see, you know, the different sides of me, which I would like to do that as well.
00:20:39.460
I don't know. It does feel like a relationship. So, I guess, I don't know. It's like, there's just no title.
00:20:48.840
When you're in the situationship, you don't have like an active Tinder account or anything like that. You're totally locked down.
00:20:56.500
So, he doesn't have any dating apps either. You know, he deleted his as well.
00:21:01.380
Sounds like you're dating then. That's what it sounds like to me.
00:21:04.820
It does. But then, like, why don't we have a title, you know?
00:21:12.480
He said just that, like, he'd like to get to know me more first.
00:21:17.220
So, we've been talking for about three months now. So, I kind of understand that. I think it is early.
00:21:25.640
Is it though? Is it? You know? You know what I mean?
00:21:30.460
But how much longer are you willing to wait before you get that figured out?
00:21:41.220
Or is it? Maybe it's going to be on again, off again.
00:21:47.080
I just said, like, you know, I don't see it going anywhere if it's not gone anywhere this far.
00:21:54.340
And he said, like, what is the reason? You know, like, why do you want to stop talking?
00:22:00.920
And I said, you know, I just feel like we should take things more serious or, you know, like, I don't know.
00:22:10.620
But at the same time, it's like, what would change if we did have a title?
00:22:16.560
Well, I mean, you would know he wants you more, I guess, right?
00:22:18.660
I think I was looking for, like, a little bit of, like, reassurance.
00:22:23.960
Well, I think this is what was in Brian's head.
00:22:25.780
And this is, like, I think this is the male point of view.
00:22:27.840
If he hasn't given that title after three months, he's just kind of having fun with you, probably.
00:22:53.240
Nom de dieu de puton de bordel de mer de salepere de conne de kildetar mer.
00:23:03.820
There's someone who's just, like, dropping, like, hundreds of dollars every stream to leave, like, movie quotes.
00:23:14.180
Chad, is it The Matrix from the second one or the third one?
00:23:37.120
We started dating in high school, and I've known him since middle school.
00:23:46.620
And were you guys, but you've been only dating for two years, so you guys were friends beforehand.
00:23:53.820
Does he live here, or is it this long distance?
00:24:10.080
I'm from, like, Sac around that area, and, like, I've had, like, a situationship-ish for,
00:24:17.920
As, I've been single, I've actually never dated anyone, ever.
00:24:22.400
Well, you said you've had a situationship for two years, so you're kind of dating him.
00:24:31.680
So, it, like, started as, like, a friends of benefits.
00:24:34.000
And then it moved into, like, no, you're just my best friend.
00:24:36.800
Like, we both just kind of, like, friendzoned each other.
00:24:45.780
So, it was a two-year situationship, started as friends with benefits.
00:24:49.060
How long did the friends with benefits period last?
00:24:58.740
So, like, the last year of high school was like that.
00:25:00.600
And then outside, when high school ended for us, it was just, like, oh, we're just friends.
00:25:26.900
I'm not going to pay, like, for a meal that he's probably going to finish mine.
00:25:30.840
So, he's spent more money on the food than you have.
00:25:51.200
So, like, outside high school, we just became, like, really close friends, but then it kind
00:25:53.740
of, like, transitioned into more, like, I think we like each other, but, like, nobody
00:25:59.580
So, like, he literally helped me pack, like, to move and everything and, like, stayed at
00:26:11.780
So, you were friends with benefits for a year and then just friends for a year.
00:26:20.440
It was, like, just friends for the, like, probably, okay, probably about the last, it
00:26:24.300
was probably, like, six months friends and then six months, like, we're basically dating,
00:26:30.480
So, like, occasionally hooking up, sort of, kind of?
00:26:35.500
Like, hey, let's go to the movies, like, let's do this.
00:26:42.320
But it wasn't, like, this first year where it was just, like, all the time.
00:26:53.300
Well, I mean, like, you guys, you said that there was the passion and then the fire.
00:26:58.360
And then a year comes around and then it kind of fizzles a little bit.
00:27:09.080
So we didn't want to, like, be with each other because we were both in, like, weird times in our life.
00:27:14.680
I was like, I'm not going to settle down for someone.
00:27:19.160
But then I was like, oh, I'm going to take a gap year off college because, like, I'm still young.
00:27:28.260
But he, in the, like, last year, I just realized, like, maybe we are just better as friends.
00:27:34.200
But, like, if he would have asked me, I probably would have said yes.
00:27:38.100
But we both were just at weird ports in our life.
00:27:45.060
Well, you said you just moved here two days ago.
00:27:47.860
Well, it's like, we're not dating, but it's like, I still talk to him every night.
00:27:55.700
Well, he's like my, okay, but he's like my best friend.
00:28:02.840
Well, I was going to say, if he hasn't made the move, then he doesn't want, he doesn't
00:28:11.640
You're at a very transitional, like, time in your life.
00:28:14.900
Even if you were to, like, get together right now, like, how would that work for you?
00:28:21.160
I think we both know, like, we're at weird parts in our lives.
00:28:30.600
And, like, maybe if I'm, like, single when I'm, like, 35, be like, hey.
00:28:37.940
He was, he definitely showed me what I need and don't need in my life.
00:28:43.780
So, I mean, when's the last time that you guys in person hung out in, like, a romantic capacity?
00:28:54.280
Do you mean, like, a date or just, like, in general?
00:29:00.400
He literally stayed the whole weekend at my house to help me pack and, like, clean everything.
00:29:06.400
Even though I did most of it and he just kind of watched me.
00:29:14.260
Well, like, we've never been, like, yes and no.
00:29:18.940
So, like, he used to, but, like, recently, like, stopped.
00:29:23.900
And he's, like, I don't think I'm really looking for anyone.
00:29:29.520
So, I was, like, I think we both know, but it's, like, mm.
00:29:47.960
He found me through one of his friends that I actually was, like, talking to at the time.
00:29:55.140
I actually met him from one of his best friends.
00:29:58.780
Just, like, was talking to for, like, literally, like, a week, maybe, or two.
00:30:07.200
And, obviously, you're, like, I'm going to upgrade friends.
00:30:34.820
Versus, like, this random dude that pretty much probably didn't like me at all.
00:30:52.180
We love short kings because they're super sweet.
00:31:21.760
Were you somewhat interested in this guy who was 5'7?
00:31:24.080
I was, but I feel like once he started liking me back, I kind of was just like, you waited
00:31:32.000
And then he was friends with the 6'3 guy who you've been in a two-year situationship with.
00:31:38.380
No, the first dude, eh, I was just kind of talking to him because I was bored.
00:31:41.060
But the 6'3 dude was one of his really close friends.
00:32:23.140
She will literally scream at me, I have to say 4'11.
00:32:45.760
If you're 5'6, you're 5'7, you know any woman that's into you really loves you, okay?
00:32:57.500
The short guys, it's actually like sort of a built-in default vetting process that they have
00:33:08.920
I've had a lot of short king besties that were like the nicest people I've ever met.
00:33:13.100
Like literally would get out and pump my gas before I even stopped like the car.
00:33:23.880
As long as I'm not making eye contact with you, like eye to eye, I think you're fine.
00:33:28.240
But if you're like 5'1 and I'm literally looking at you and like I can throw you on the bed,
00:33:34.880
What if the guy is 5'1 but he makes 300 grand a year and he's jacked, he's muscular?
00:33:40.700
No, that's even worse because then he's going to look like a little like Roblox dude.
00:33:49.580
No, so the height, that little is an absolute deal breaker.
00:33:59.500
So do you think there's going to be a definitive breakup with this guy now that you've moved here
00:34:04.240
or do you think you're going to keep a long distance thing or...
00:34:07.260
I feel like if he was to get a girlfriend back like where we live, he'd probably cut me off.
00:34:12.080
Oh, and that brings me back to what I was asking previously.
00:34:19.660
Like the first year, we were both just kind of like, we can see whoever we want.
00:34:28.200
But like, I feel like the closer we got, the more end, it became more like just to us.
00:34:34.940
And were you seeing other guys or were you like, what was, what were you up to?
00:34:40.080
But like in the last like six months to like a year.
00:34:48.460
But like if someone finds me, like let's see what this goes.
00:34:56.080
So maybe you just like stay at home and like watch anime and shit.
00:35:02.360
But like if someone finds me randomly, I'm like, okay, that's kind of cool.
00:35:10.020
We've been together for seven months and my longest relationship prior to this one was
00:35:27.020
And so is it kind of long distance depending on where you are and where he is or?
00:35:30.020
No, we, we don't live that far away from each other.
00:35:34.180
And you're here enough to, it's kind of normal.
00:35:42.200
I'm in a very lovely, committed, monogamous relationship with my boyfriend, Frankie.
00:35:50.380
Wait, Madison, you're kind of sinking behind her if you can like.
00:35:52.860
Oh, I like can't really, I'll just have to sink.
00:35:57.120
We've been together for about like 10 and a half months and this is now my longest relationship.
00:36:18.200
So a promise ring is like, it's like a pre-engagement ring almost.
00:36:22.040
It's like a commitment, like a vow of commitment and basically that it's like headed toward
00:36:30.000
When I hear promise ring, I think of the Jonas Brothers like a decade ago.
00:36:50.860
I have been married for almost three years in September.
00:36:55.040
And we've got a two-year-old daughter and a son in one month.
00:36:59.700
So my wife is very, very, very pregnant right now.
00:37:16.200
World of Warcraft announced that they're releasing hardcore realms.
00:37:33.400
No, if, listen, if that comes out, if the new World of Warcraft stuff happens on the due date,
00:37:40.380
Then you've got to be a dad for a couple weeks.
00:37:42.240
And you've got to, you know, help with the infant, with the newborn stuff.
00:37:46.600
Well, I was about to say, you need to get your priorities straight.
00:37:49.180
Because, I mean, there's only one opportunity to be, you know, fresh, hardcore.
00:38:02.460
So I just had one question just to bring it back to you.
00:38:14.360
But I actually just remembered something when you mentioned that you were married.
00:38:31.960
I'm not a citizen, but I'm a permanent green card holder.
00:38:35.900
So that's how you got the green card, was through the marriage?
00:38:39.700
Well, I got married last year, but I've been living in America for 11 years now.
00:38:48.340
Um, I'm not sure how the process was, but I think my grandpa was already living in California,
00:38:55.220
and he petitioned for my mom, my brother, and I to come to America, and it took two years.
00:39:02.340
My wife is from Germany, so she's been living in the U.S. now.
00:39:05.400
And we, so she got her green card, and it was an absolute pain in the ass to go through.
00:39:10.620
This was during COVID, all the, all my, it was a nightmare.
00:39:17.320
We got separated, um, it was December 30th, actually.
00:39:23.000
Did you file for a divorce yet, or are you planning to?
00:39:37.860
We just knew it would be best for us to separate, so we wouldn't end up hating each other.
00:39:42.300
How long were you guys together before you got married?
00:39:54.720
Um, honestly, we did it because we thought it would be funny.
00:39:58.920
We, um, I don't really, I don't ever want to get married.
00:40:04.720
And the day we decided to get married, um, we were actually both on shrooms.
00:40:11.500
And what had happened was, I, I'm a model, so I did a photo shoot with my best friend.
00:40:16.220
And the photo shoot we did was at a house, and I posted it on my Instagram, and my caption
00:40:21.580
was, oh, like, just got married and bought a house, like, as a joke.
00:40:25.000
And then, when I was doing shrooms with my ex, um, he brought up my Instagram post, and
00:40:30.980
he was like, wouldn't it be so funny, like, if we got married?
00:40:33.900
And I was like, yeah, like, that would be really funny.
00:40:39.880
Like, I'd be able to get my citizenship, because I'm not a U.S. citizen.
00:40:47.120
Men in the audience, when you guys are like, 50% of marriages end in divorce.
00:40:57.280
I do, because now I have to go to court to get an annulment, which is a pain in the ass.
00:41:03.000
Wait, you said you didn't take marriage seriously.
00:41:07.160
Was it the drugs that you were on when you decided to initially get married?
00:41:13.900
Yeah, I still did it a month later, so it wasn't really the drugs.
00:41:20.260
It was a very impulsive decision that I definitely regret.
00:41:41.880
So, did you have any problems dividing resources or money or anything?
00:41:59.440
Or, I don't know if I will be a divorcee because I'm going to have an annulment, so it's going
00:42:05.700
Oh, it's as if you were never married, I guess.
00:42:07.820
You'll be an annulment, an annulment, an annulment, an annulment, an annulment, an annulment.
00:42:13.000
Wait, but you never answered the question, so why do you think you don't take marriage
00:42:20.880
Like, what do you think the purpose of marriage is?
00:42:22.740
I feel like growing up, I've just never really been around healthy relationships, so it's
00:42:29.240
hard for me to really think about that right now, especially.
00:42:33.240
Would you say that after that experience, you take marriage more seriously now, or do you
00:42:43.240
Well, now, I would definitely take marriage seriously, but also at the same time, I don't
00:42:47.620
really think I would ever want to actually get married besides what I did.
00:42:52.620
I don't think that really counts as a real marriage, because it was a joke, even though
00:42:57.380
But my whole life, I never really planned on actually getting married.
00:43:03.240
I just don't really see a point in involving the government in my relationship, even though
00:43:12.460
Do you think that there's, I mean, outside of just like the legal status of being married,
00:43:16.820
do you think that there is something deep and profound about making a public declaration
00:43:30.940
Do you think that, like, your joke marriage or whatever affected the way you think about
00:43:35.800
marriages now, or you're just like flat out no?
00:43:57.300
Toss her if she's 0.01% fatter than your preference.
00:44:10.740
Is it, if you're 6'3", is it 0.01% or is it one, I thought it was 1%.
00:44:17.720
Well, I think, well, okay, I think it's definitely less than 1% of people are 6'3 and above, I think.
00:44:25.100
But I don't think it's 0.01% because I think, like, over 6'3 is 15%, so.
00:44:35.480
That makes sense, like, for what I see walking around in the world.
00:44:42.780
Well, since we're, by the way, Zentience, very good to see you back in the chat, man.
00:44:46.380
It's been a while since we've seen you, so welcome back.
00:44:51.180
Why don't we actually go around the table on the height thing?
00:44:54.500
So do any of you have a height preference when it comes to dating?
00:45:01.520
So how tall are you, and do you have a height preference?
00:45:08.500
I, like, want you to be at least as tall as I am.
00:45:18.140
Like, sometimes I have a hard time, like, telling how, like, tall people are.
00:45:24.800
Like, unless you're, like, way taller than me or way shorter than me, it's just not that
00:45:32.820
Would it bother you if you were wearing heels and your guy was, like, an inch shorter than you?
00:45:43.420
But I guess if I had to, like, pick, I would say tall for, like, genetic reasons.
00:45:50.280
I feel like tall people are, like, valued more in society and have, like, better agility and ability.
00:46:00.060
So I would consider that for, like, procreating.
00:46:04.640
So you would want a taller man to have kids with as opposed to a shorter man?
00:46:08.380
If I had to pick between the two, I would feel like there's reasons that I would pick tall.
00:46:15.640
Also, like, they can help you and it's kind of nice to look at.
00:46:23.660
Like, there's all, like, I feel like there's, like, different, like, people.
00:46:30.260
Like, there's other factors, like personality and stuff.
00:46:33.020
But if I had two guys that I really liked who were, like, equally as available and had, like, the same things
00:46:38.960
and one was tall and one was not, I would pick the tall one.
00:46:46.160
Um, yeah, I want to have kids, but at the same time, I don't feel like I need to have kids.
00:46:52.800
Like, I would have kids if it's the right time and I'm in a good situation where I feel like I can nurture them properly
00:47:01.300
and, like, it's also I can have a good life and do the things I want to do.
00:47:06.820
But I wouldn't just have a kid because I feel like I need to for some reason
00:47:11.140
and not be, like, stable enough to support them.
00:47:17.080
I'm 5'2", and I'd like to date someone who's at least 5'5", I guess, because I wear a lot of platforms.
00:47:25.260
But I don't think I really care too much, honestly.
00:47:33.780
I think 5'5", is, like, is, 5'5", is, like, the shortest that I would consider dating.
00:47:43.900
Um, I'm 4'11", and my boyfriend is 5'7", so he is a short king.
00:47:51.880
Yeah, but I'm also short, so it kind of works out.
00:47:56.320
I've talked and dated guys that were as short as 5'2".
00:48:01.400
Um, I grew up with a mom who's taller than my dad.
00:48:05.420
My dad's 5'1", um, and my mom's 5'3", so I guess I never really took height into that much consideration.
00:48:13.340
I think, for me personally, I just prefer someone to be a couple inches taller than me,
00:48:18.580
and I don't think it's too hard to find that because I'm already so short.
00:48:34.400
You're still, like, you're, like, the six-foot equivalent to me because I'm, like, short.
00:48:39.560
But, sorry to offend any 5'7", or up, but anything under 5'7", I'm so sorry, guys.
00:48:55.160
I honestly don't pay too much attention to height.
00:49:04.900
Obviously, personality and being able to have a connection is really important.
00:49:13.440
Do they have other masculine traits that I'm interested in?
00:49:17.060
And I think that even, um, you know, outside of physical appearance, although physical appearance is important, and having that physical attraction, I think having masculine qualities, um, is more important.
00:49:33.060
I honestly don't really care that much about height.
00:49:35.500
Like, like you said, luckily, my boyfriend is, my boyfriend's, like, 5'11".
00:49:52.920
Like, I think being, like, guys like shorter girls.
00:49:59.940
So, you said, you guys were kind of joking about how, like, a lot of guys will exaggerate their height, lie about their height.
00:50:07.860
But, is that, has that been your guys' experience?
00:50:10.240
Maybe some of you have been on dating apps where, you know, a guy claims he's 6 feet, but actually he's, like, 5'10", or, you know, maybe he, it's a, he's a different height.
00:50:20.460
Maybe he's 5'6", and he says he's 5'9", something like that.
00:50:23.200
Have any of you experienced that on, for example, a dating app?
00:50:29.060
I feel like guys do it all the time, to be honest.
00:50:32.100
Even if it's just, like, an inch or, like, two inches more.
00:50:39.240
Do you guys think it's wrong for men to misrepresent or lie about their height on a dating app?
00:50:54.700
Because, like, I understand, like, I round up a little bit.
00:50:56.800
If you want to round up, like, maybe, like, an inch, I'll give you the one.
00:51:08.680
I was just being hyperbolic, but I wouldn't need to explain it as much, seeing as how majority of this panel's favorite color is clear, with a personality to match.
00:51:18.800
Any men who claim these girls should reconsider.
00:51:35.160
I think he's been throwing back the whiskey, so...
00:51:59.740
He made up millions on Doge and GME, like the stock shit.
00:52:38.980
He, like, actually lost, like, an actual million dollars.
00:52:45.660
That could have paid my rent for, like, the next five years.
00:52:52.860
I was tempted to check him into a rehab facility.
00:52:58.300
So, if he takes it out on you guys tonight, I just want you to know, don't take it personally.
00:53:12.080
I know, but, like, in general, like, is he consistent with gambling?
00:53:19.040
I mean, with gambling, you normally end up losing.
00:53:23.960
So, when Brian said that Zentient was a millionaire, you perked up.
00:53:27.620
So, is that the number one thing you're looking for in a man is money?
00:53:32.440
No, but I feel like people, like, assume that about me a lot.
00:53:47.480
What's the minimum amount of money a man has to make in order to date you?
00:53:52.880
What if he's making, what if he's, like, a giga-chad, he's 6'3", top 1%, but he's making, looks good, makes 50 grand a year?
00:54:03.260
I feel like, for me, there's, like, a difference between, like, someone I would date and someone I would, like, settle down with or, like, get married to.
00:54:11.100
You know, like, if I was just dating someone, as long as they, like, can pay for their own stuff.
00:54:21.400
If they're not always in a bad situation and they have some sort of ambition and, like, drive in their life, then I, if they could make, like, just a minimum amount of money to do those things.
00:54:34.660
But if I was, like, going to build a life with someone, then I would need a pretty good amount of money to have the life that I would want.
00:54:46.520
I'm not looking for somebody to, like, completely form.
00:54:51.400
Better to live in a desert than with a quarrelsome and nagging wife.
00:55:04.800
What if she started out as a great wife, but then, you know, there was a steady decline into just a total grating personality, you know, so...
00:55:17.380
Was it your failure as the man to not vet that woman properly enough?
00:55:21.240
Because that's the point of the dating process is to vet the woman.
00:55:23.700
Or maybe you're not providing for her emotionally.
00:55:28.760
Maybe you're not fulfilling all the duties that you should be as a husband.
00:55:40.600
I think in these situations, the man is never to blame in these...
00:55:46.920
I'd say it's hard to attribute who's to blame in these situations, but it's often a complaint that you hear from men about their partner being...
00:55:56.660
You often don't hear women complaining about men being nagging.
00:56:00.600
You hear other complaints, but you don't often hear women complain about men nagging them.
00:56:06.680
Let's say I'm going to make a business, a multi-million dollar business, and I'm going to go into business with a business partner.
00:56:16.440
And we've only known each other for three or four months.
00:56:19.760
And after two or three years, I find out that you're a rat, scumbag, you've been embezzling money, you've been screwing me over every step of the way.
00:56:29.920
Most people would blame me for not vetting you well enough, and I think that's fair, right?
00:56:35.520
I'd be at fault for not properly, because we got into business pretty on short notice.
00:56:43.600
But I didn't do my due diligence in vetting my business partner.
00:56:51.960
If you want to marry someone, you want to see how they are in the fall, winter, spring, summer.
00:56:55.040
You want to see, do they get seasonal depression?
00:57:00.500
There's 10 million different little micro-variables you need to vet out, and this is the process of dating.
00:57:06.440
And so part of it is like, well, what if your wife becomes a psycho five years into the marriage?
00:57:11.060
Well, I think more often than not, you can vet for that.
00:57:16.100
And I think people are not approaching dating from that mindset, and I think they probably should.
00:57:22.060
I mean, certainly, I think each partner has a responsibility, like you said, to do their due diligence and screen for potential things that could be an issue down the road.
00:57:32.300
But my thinking is, though, however, is that I do think, and look, I think, I don't think one party bears all the blame or all the responsibility or accountability.
00:57:42.500
I do think, though, that there is a potential, once you've been put, for example, and I think this is typically when it comes to the women, once you've secured the bag, aka wedding, marriage, you know, it kind of does give an opportunity for potentially either partner to start feeling a little comfortable in that relationship.
00:58:09.440
And comfortable in a bad way, you know, so, for example, comfortable disrespecting your partner, potentially.
00:58:21.020
Well, I also feel like people just don't know how to date anymore.
00:58:23.920
I think that they don't know how to date or, like, vet or whatever phrase you want to use for it.
00:58:29.640
And I think that people use people, especially in our society right now.
00:58:35.420
Like, women oftentimes will use guys for attention or for money or for comfort, whatever it is.
00:58:42.000
And men use women for their bodies and also for comfort.
00:58:46.360
And we have this society that's so conditioned to using people instead of loving people.
00:58:51.440
And if we dated with the mindset, I want to get to know this person, I see their dignity and their value, and I want to see if this person is a potential life partner for me and invest in them, I think that we would have different outcomes.
00:59:05.300
But unfortunately, because of our selfish society, people are dating to use people instead of dating to love them and dating to commit to them long term.
00:59:14.940
Yeah, I do think my mindset on dating is that dating is a process with which you find a person to marry, right?
00:59:20.240
And so I think people are just sort of dating very flippantly.
00:59:23.120
Maybe it's for physical pleasure or just for fun or it's just someone to do things with versus, okay, this is someone that I am testing out for marriage.
00:59:30.660
And the second I determine that our personalities are incompatible, I think it's probably best to break it off and maybe move on to someone new, right?
00:59:37.600
Well, so much of relationships are transactional instead of actually sacrificial.
00:59:42.140
And really, a healthy, strong relationship, both partners will be sacrificing and not giving 50-50, but giving 110% or 120% and showing up and sacrificing every day for that person.
00:59:54.840
But unfortunately, we have people, again, using people, having transactional relationships and not upholding the dignity of the other person.
01:00:02.460
Well, let me ask, as a matter of, oh, did you have something?
01:00:07.660
In terms of proportion, who do you think is more likely, just on a gender level, who do you think is more likely to be a user?
01:00:16.940
Because you mentioned a lot of people are approaching relationships in a transactional way.
01:00:23.620
You think men are more likely to be using than women?
01:00:26.960
Okay, using women or do you think, or using relationships?
01:00:32.740
Because I think men use women all day long, you know?
01:00:39.180
I think there's a difference between using a guy in a relationship.
01:00:42.140
Like, let's say you're, like, trying to get something out of him, so you're kind of, I don't know, agreeing to be in a relationship that you're not totally into the person or whatever because you think it's benefiting your life in some way.
01:00:53.940
Or are you talking about just generally who uses the other sex more?
01:00:59.520
So you said the way that men typically will engage in transactional relationships with women or use women is they use women for their bodies, for sex, or whatever.
01:01:12.920
But then you said, did you say that women will use men, for example, for financial reasons?
01:01:22.060
Okay, I would argue that there are more women who are engaging in transactional relationships of this nature than the reverse.
01:01:33.540
There's a very small proportion of men that are able to command that sort of attention from women.
01:01:41.660
Whereas most, like, when it comes to, like, the relationship dynamics, I would say most women, generally speaking, like, let's look at the average here.
01:01:50.740
Of course, I think there's this component of women will be, a lot of women are all chasing after the top 10, top 20% of men.
01:01:57.100
And so those men have quite a bit of negotiating power in relationships.
01:02:01.960
However, you take an average guy and an average woman, I'd say the average woman is running circles around the average guy.
01:02:09.600
And I think that's because women are much more socially attuned.
01:02:12.880
By the time a woman is 21, she's had much more social experience.
01:02:18.340
And I think, just naturally speaking, women are more socially attuned than men.
01:02:21.880
So women, I think, are much more capable of running circles around men than the reverse.
01:02:26.020
But most women are not getting into relationships because they think that they're going to get some sort of, like, lifestyle benefit or something like that.
01:02:36.500
They're in a relationship because they actually value the connection.
01:02:39.300
And I would say that that's not always the case for men.
01:02:48.420
Well, that's a bit transactional, don't you think?
01:02:51.480
No, because it's not about the transaction of just them paying.
01:02:56.760
First of all, I believe that men should pursue women.
01:02:59.000
I think that men should take the leadership and relationships and even on the first date.
01:03:04.280
I don't think that it's about, oh, he should pay for my meal and I'm going to go on the date with this guy and get a free meal out of it, which a lot of people are saying as a joke or serious.
01:03:13.220
I think that it's a sign that that guy is willing to invest in you, if not only in time, but also in his money when he pays for your first date.
01:03:23.900
Well, you just said invest his time and his money.
01:03:31.660
It's a show that he's willing to sacrifice in the future for your family or to take care of you or in your...
01:03:42.500
So, for example, if a woman becomes a wife, she might sacrifice her career to take care of her family and to have a baby.
01:03:49.480
And women sacrifice in a different way than men sacrifice.
01:03:51.800
Yeah, but it's not a given when you first meet somebody that you know for certain if this person is going to be the person you spend the rest of your life with.
01:04:03.040
So you're saying like two years down the road, that's potentially when a woman brings her end of the deal?
01:04:12.320
I don't think it's about bringing her end of the deal.
01:04:16.860
Unfortunately, in the world we live in today, women have taken on masculine traits because they feel like they've confused the idea of having equal rights as being the same as men.
01:04:30.120
So we have it backwards where now we have a lot of women who think they need to pursue.
01:04:36.860
This like scarcity idea that all women are going for the top 10, 20% of men.
01:04:41.600
It's like there's this notion in women's minds that there's like a scarcity of good men.
01:04:45.980
Well, I would argue that there's maybe a scarcity of good women also.
01:04:50.180
And that has to do with, first of all, women taking on masculine traits like pursuing the other person.
01:04:58.780
But it also has to do with us creating an environment that breeds weak men that don't want to take leadership.
01:05:07.120
Also, like some men I feel like like to do that.
01:05:10.720
Like I feel like men like to express themselves through doing stuff for people and taking care of you.
01:05:24.940
I got to say, one of the functions of like a high testosterone, giga chad, high value male is that you need to be willing to take risks.
01:05:31.900
And one of these risks that you want, you need to make a calculated risk.
01:05:35.600
But one of those risks is, okay, I'm going to pay for the first date because this woman might three years from now, like give me her womb and bear my children.
01:05:44.180
And that's a sacrifice that she's making for me.
01:05:46.960
But I need to be willing to take a calculated risk today because that might be what happens as a result.
01:05:55.020
Don't you think it's part of the pursuit though also is like showing the woman that you want to invest in her and take care of her?
01:06:01.400
It's like it's not just about like what might happen in the future.
01:06:04.220
It's part of the game, so to speak, like the cat and mouse pursuit.
01:06:08.900
Yeah, it's like a balance of like masculine and feminine energies.
01:06:15.460
Yeah, I got to say like this is the only thing I disagreed with you on is your hesitance to use the word transactional.
01:06:26.580
We have a very aggressively traditional relationship.
01:06:34.020
Current dating is downstream from female hedonism since they perpetuate culture slash access to sex.
01:06:39.880
Weak men bend to those whims excreting adulation, while men, pursuing self-mastery, withdraw their attention.
01:06:51.160
Who allowed women to become hedonistic purveyors of over-sexualized content?
01:07:01.200
Well, I mean, women have autonomy and agency, so I mean...
01:07:08.400
I think the downfall of women is a direct result of the downfall of men.
01:07:14.380
It's men becoming lazy and lethargic and addicted and overweight and porn addicted.
01:07:19.380
And I think men are down bad, and as a result, women have...
01:07:29.600
You should do things because the relationship you build brings value and joy to your life.
01:07:34.900
Sacrifice implies you're doing something against yourself for someone else.
01:07:40.900
I think, actually, it is beautiful and noble as a husband to live sacrificially for your wife and for your wife inversely to live sacrificially for you.
01:07:49.120
In the same way you're doing for your children.
01:07:50.860
As a father, as a mother, your job is to live self-sacrificially for your children, for the betterment of your family, of your bloodline, of your wife, if you're the wife or your husband.
01:07:58.280
There's nothing wrong with being self-sacrificial as long as it's a beautiful, symbiotic, reciprocal type of sacrifice.
01:08:04.720
If you're not inconveniencing yourself ever for your loved ones, then how can you expect to have a healthy relationship?
01:08:18.080
If you're not willing to make a compromise for your wife or for your children or whatever, then it's not going to work for you.
01:08:24.920
I know you maybe wanted to come in on something, and, Zentience, we will come back and address your point.
01:08:44.560
Give us a little wink or something, and I'll try to weave you in.
01:08:47.780
So, yeah, I mean, Zentience was saying that current dating is downstream from female hedonism since they perpetuate culture, access to sex.
01:09:00.960
Now, you're taking the super trad stance on it, which is, well, men bear kind of ultimate responsibility because we as men ought to be and should be leaders, and we are failing in our duty to be leaders.
01:09:13.400
Yeah, I mean, if you look back through human history, at any time that you would consider traditional or based or whatever, the men have been the ones that are sort of foundationally building society.
01:09:27.360
And so if men are traditionally the builders of society, if you have a traditional lens, if you're looking at relationships through that lens, if women are becoming OnlyFans models at age 18 or, you know, whatever, we're kind of in a weird societal spot.
01:09:54.420
I think, but I think the blame falls on both men and women.
01:10:02.160
I think right now we've got an epidemic of weak men.
01:10:04.520
Very, very weak, addicted, overweight, lazy men.
01:10:09.080
Does it, before I let you come in, does anyone on this side of the table want to weigh in?
01:10:13.500
I'd like to try to pull you into the conversation.
01:10:18.320
Like, why can't I be the provider for the household?
01:10:21.240
And like, what if my husband wants to take care of the kids?
01:10:30.480
And I feel like men are now expecting women to be the breadwinners.
01:10:33.960
Um, men are more willing to rely on the girls for money now.
01:10:48.900
Unless they have proved they are worthy of your traditional role through their actions.
01:10:53.760
Women can't be objectified unless they objectify themselves.
01:11:01.960
Women can be objectified without objectifying themselves.
01:11:07.320
I don't think there's been a time in human history where you've had more young men...
01:11:14.980
And this is a result of pornographic content, OnlyFans, Instagram, things like that.
01:11:19.400
You've never had a time where there are more young men objectifying women and more young women commodifying men,
01:11:23.840
viewing them as nothing more than a paycheck or money or some sort of resource.
01:11:29.160
And so this relationship dynamic is super, super toxic to how people should and have always functioned.
01:11:36.980
It's like, okay, we're going to date, I'm going to vet my spouse, we're going to get married, we're going to have kids.
01:11:43.980
It's also not just about providing for your family.
01:11:46.620
I think that the, like, traditional role of a man has more to do than just taking, bringing home the bread or the money or whatever it is.
01:11:56.160
There are other aspects in a husband that make him a provider and a leader and a protector.
01:12:01.520
Like, for example, what would you say makes a good husband outside of just monetarily providing for the family?
01:12:07.520
I would say the path of a traditional man is that path towards becoming the best husband, father, protective provider you possibly can.
01:12:15.600
What's the idea that you would die for your family, that you would protect them, that absolutely you would come between anything that threatens your family?
01:12:21.800
Yeah, and then inversely, the path and the role of a traditional woman is that path towards being the best nurturer, caregiver, wife, and mother you possibly can be.
01:13:12.600
I think probably if I could snap my fingers and fix one problem in our society, and that we have a lot of problems in our society,
01:13:17.460
probably the biggest problem is the complete collapse or degradation of the traditional family unit.
01:13:23.720
Right now, you've got like, it's like 25% of kids don't have a dad in their house.
01:13:29.460
Kids that are being born right now, like if you're born today, there's like a 65% chance your parents aren't even married.
01:13:43.340
Women must objectify themselves first before any man can.
01:13:47.420
I would say take accountability, but I doubt you would understand, let alone spell the word.
01:13:54.220
Try and learn some before you start objectifying yourself.
01:13:57.540
Just one thought on what Sentience just said when it comes to objectification.
01:14:06.720
You know, there's been a lot of like talk from feminists, and you know, there's a criticism of men, how they have a tendency to objectify women,
01:14:17.600
and there's this sexualization and objectification.
01:14:20.800
However, we saw, what, two or three years ago with the mass spread of OnlyFans, women can't do that shit to themselves.
01:14:35.740
There's this talk of, oh, men, they view women as objects, but like, here, you can see my naked body for $4.99 a month.
01:14:45.480
I think in terms of OnlyFans, those are women consenting to those pictures being released, and I don't have an OnlyFans, and I don't know many people who do.
01:14:56.180
So, of course, my perspective is limited in that regard, but I do think that's a more consensual manner.
01:15:02.040
I think it becomes a problem when it's like, and it can go both ways, you know, people, I guess, objectifying, like, men on TikTok,
01:15:11.580
and men objectifying women in the gym or something, like, you know, it's just like a widespread problem,
01:15:16.840
but I think it has more to do with, like, I don't know.
01:15:23.940
Well, okay, I mean, even going beyond OnlyFans, I mean, if you look at a girl who doesn't do any sort of adult content,
01:15:30.140
but you can look at, like, a lot of women's Instagrams, for example,
01:15:33.020
they're taking, to some degree, semi-provocative or fairly provocative photos, like, oh, like, bending over fucking camera,
01:15:43.200
looking straight up the hoo-ha in, like, a bikini, and, like, when I say objectification, it's like,
01:15:52.620
you are putting that out there on your own, with your own agency.
01:15:58.780
I think that some women might think I'm being objectified anyway, so I might as well capitalize on it as well.
01:16:07.360
But is it objectification for a man to find a woman physically attractive?
01:16:14.080
I think probably the most valuable virtue that a man can have is discipline.
01:16:19.340
If we had men in this society disciplined, there would be no more porn.
01:16:33.820
They've done studies on the effect that porn has on both men and women,
01:16:37.900
and if we're just talking about men, it has, the studies have shown that it has all-around negative effects on men,
01:16:45.140
not only in their relationships, but also in their productivity and their energy levels,
01:16:49.780
in their, like, desire to achieve more for their lives.
01:16:53.580
The more that there's a direct correlation for how much men are consuming porn and how, I guess, like, stagnant their life is.
01:17:03.340
And because of the dopamine increase that they get when they watch porn, it makes it harder to get that dopamine in other places.
01:17:17.440
But I would think that it's, like, similar to other things in life that give you dopamine, like your phone or candy that it's, like, needs to be regulated.
01:17:27.600
And also, I would imagine, like, some of that, the way they feel is because of, like, the guilt and shame surrounded around porn in our society.
01:17:37.000
This is what I think when we're talking about porn addiction.
01:17:39.080
My concern with addiction or dopamine release...
01:17:44.840
Well, actually, they did a study, not even about adult content, but about men who had a lot of, they followed a lot of, like, social media models or whatever, Instagram models on social media.
01:17:58.900
They said, they did a study that they were less attracted to their partner in real life.
01:18:03.820
The more, there was, like, direct correlation for how many Instagram models they followed, how much they're scrolling, how much time they're spending on their phone looking at these women,
01:18:10.020
and how attracted they felt to their partner or people they were meeting in real life.
01:18:14.380
By the way, I'm not here, like, defending porn or anything.
01:18:18.500
I'm kind of just, like, playing devil's advocate and, like, throwing into different perspectives and, like, trying to understand how people feel about it because I'm just so closely related to that industry as well.
01:18:30.180
I'm sure you've seen a lot of things that, or know of a lot of things that we don't even know about.
01:18:37.880
And I know you said you weren't talking about, like, porn addiction, just porn in general, but, like, you said, it's, like, a dopamine fix.
01:18:43.020
Once a kid gets candy, they're going to want to eat more candy.
01:18:45.240
Once someone watches porn, they're going to keep watching porn and eventually become addicted.
01:18:48.960
But then there's also people who have, like, healthy diets that eat candy occasionally.
01:18:56.600
So when we're talking about substances that have the capacity to be very damaging to you, or we'll use the word addiction, and you can bring up candy or video games or porn or heroin or whatever, right?
01:19:06.120
I think what's less important to talk about is the fact that something can be addictive or release dopamine in your brain and make you feel good versus the capacity for that addiction to cause really, really substantial damage to you on the micro level and society on the macro level.
01:19:19.440
Porn is very, very damaging to you as an individual and society on the macro.
01:19:24.500
And there's, like, 20 different stats you could throw out to talk about this, gender dynamics and dating and marriage and divorce rates, and it all sort of ties together.
01:19:31.280
Porn has been a very, very damaging experiment on the minds of young men.
01:19:36.780
And the earlier you start watching porn, as a young boy, some people are, I mean, kids these days, like, 11 or 12, they're watching hardcore pornography.
01:19:44.880
Your sexual dopamine reward center is, in most cases, permanently just completely frazzled.
01:19:50.440
I mean, I'm definitely familiar with the and the way that it, like, makes people view sex and what they think is okay.
01:19:56.280
I'm just, I'm curious, like, do you think society could exist without that, or is it just, like, something that you feel like is, like, deemed to be created no matter what?
01:20:10.080
Well, I think they'll always be porn to some degree.
01:20:11.720
This is what I'll tell young men, though, is that, you know, blaming promiscuous women for the downfall of society is not going to get you anywhere.
01:20:17.340
What will fix society and fix young men and the men's mental health crisis is men adopting discipline and stopping consuming this content.
01:20:26.680
Like, we can't talk about this and not say that it doesn't harm women, that industry harms women.
01:20:31.320
Another thing is, like, the way that the porn industry functions, like, laws that are related to that also, like, I feel like affect people who are in it, what is put out there, what's allowed.
01:20:44.600
Okay, just going back to what you were saying, Matt, you're saying that it's a lack of male leadership which is ultimately to blame.
01:20:59.580
It's men's inability to say no to things that make them feel good in the moment.
01:21:07.200
One of the biggest problems I have with the red pill community is this hand-waving of male promiscuity.
01:21:12.840
It's this admonishment of female promiscuity and then hand-waving of male promiscuity.
01:21:19.300
Well, I think the difference is, though, is that there are more promiscuous...
01:21:31.180
The thing is, though, as far as, like, the hand-waving of male promiscuity, I agree with you.
01:21:40.700
Like, I don't think male promiscuity is a good thing.
01:21:44.220
I'm someone who believes, like, in the value of relationships.
01:21:48.980
The thing is, though, is that I think there are more promiscuous women than there are promiscuous men.
01:21:55.960
An average woman, a below-average woman, if she was so inclined to be promiscuous, could do so very easily.
01:22:03.620
I'm not so you could say the same thing about a below-average man.
01:22:08.040
I would include pornographic addiction in male promiscuity.
01:22:14.060
Because those men are being fulfilled and satiated in just the same way, and as a result of that pornographic addiction,
01:22:19.100
and they're watching porn every single day, sometimes multiple times a day,
01:22:21.780
they're opting out of pursuing real-life women and bettering themselves in the pursuit of pursuing real-life women.
01:22:27.360
They're totally comfortable with that dopamine drip of pornographic content.
01:22:32.300
I would put that under the umbrella of male promiscuity.
01:22:35.360
Well, it's a little bit shifting the goalposts, but I kind of see where you're going with that.
01:22:42.400
I mean, the outcome is, like, effectively the same, though, right?
01:22:44.880
Sort of the form is different, but the outcome is the same.
01:22:47.840
Men are opting out of traditional relationships.
01:22:49.940
But, okay, if we're talking about specifically the term promiscuity, that's strictly related to sexual encounters.
01:22:58.260
If you want to make that into an umbrella term that includes male-consuming pornography...
01:23:03.280
Let's replace it with, like, profane or perverse sexual conduct or something.
01:23:12.120
If we're speaking strictly about promiscuity, you can very well make the argument that men consuming porn could very well be taking themselves out of the sexual marketplace
01:23:26.080
because they're fulfilling their sexual needs through porn, although there are certainly men who watch porn and still engage in casual sex or watch porn
01:23:34.020
or who are in relationships with women, but there's probably a good amount of men who consume porn,
01:23:42.840
and that fulfills their need or stifles their need to pursue actual sex with women.
01:23:49.800
So the point I'd like to make, though, is if we're going to say, okay, well, promiscuity in men is just as bad or worse as promiscuity in women,
01:24:00.860
well, let's look at the numbers, I would argue that there are far more women who are engaging in casual sex or promiscuity
01:24:07.480
than there are men engaging in casual sex and promiscuity.
01:24:13.720
However, there are more women who are capable of...
01:24:22.580
If you're a real, like, attractive guy or you've got charisma or you've got some status, you've got some money...
01:24:26.780
Do you have statistics on this or is this just something that you think?
01:24:31.260
It's self-evident. Hold on. Let me just address her point.
01:24:40.440
Would you agree that any single girl here at the table at 8.30 p.m. on Tuesday,
01:24:47.800
if she was so inclined, could probably, like, go out to the street or go download the dating app
01:24:57.480
I know any single girl here at this table, you could download the dating app,
01:25:01.660
you could walk on the street, just go up to a guy, say, hey, do you want to have sex?
01:25:06.800
Might not be the first, might not be the second, but you will get a guy who will sleep with you.
01:25:11.840
Whereas, as a guy, unless you're, like, super top-tier dude or super charismatic, good luck.
01:25:24.260
Okay, but there's a difference because once you said the capability...
01:25:28.420
Once you said capability, and the second time you said that women are more promiscuous, so...
01:25:34.140
There are more women who engage in casual sex and promiscuity than there are men.
01:25:43.820
Well, I agree and disagree because if men were the gatekeepers of sex,
01:25:48.520
I think that their percentage of promiscuity would be a lot more than women would, honestly.
01:25:55.320
Like, ultimately, men and women are very different.
01:25:57.780
They're, like, they use each other for very different things.
01:26:01.080
Like, men, it is their duty to protect, provide, and everything like that, be financially well.
01:26:08.720
Like I said, women are the gatekeepers of sex, so that's what men seek.
01:26:16.680
I think the bigger problem is that we have a society of...
01:26:22.940
Men and women who engage in casual sex, who devalue relationships, who devalue monogamous relationships,
01:26:31.960
and think that somehow this lifestyle will make them happy or fulfill them,
01:26:36.880
when statistically, that's just not true either.
01:26:38.960
It's statistically proven that women, especially, but people who are in monogamous, committed relationships are happier,
01:26:48.820
And actually, men who are married are more successful as well.
01:26:52.060
So, women are happier, men are happier and more successful,
01:27:00.020
And we, as women, I don't know how you feel, but we've been told this lie that somehow engaging in casual sex
01:27:07.160
or allowing ourselves to be objectified or whatever terminology we want to use,
01:27:11.740
and I want to be sensitive about it, is somehow empowering.
01:27:28.580
I mean, this is weird for me to say, but on the more conservative side.
01:27:35.580
What do you think that you want out of relationships?
01:27:58.560
Um, I would say I have a feeling of empowerment related to that a little bit.
01:28:05.420
Like, through my job, I feel like is related to sex,
01:28:08.920
so I was able to support myself in a way to be able to educate myself better,
01:28:18.040
and, like, build myself into a person that I was...
01:28:23.780
I don't think I would have been able to become without that.
01:28:26.580
Do you think that it has more to do with the fact that you had money to be able to create
01:28:32.980
A little bit, but also I've learned a lot about people, like, interactions,
01:28:43.860
And also, I mean, you said that you were in too serious relationships.
01:28:48.200
I wouldn't say, like, casual sex is something that is so much related to me with that,
01:28:53.080
because even though I work in a very sexual industry...
01:29:02.540
So even though I worked in that industry, there was a long time during that where I was celibate
01:29:07.320
or I was dating someone else in another country, so I wasn't having, like, sex.
01:29:13.300
If you were given the option, would you want that sort of traditional relationship
01:29:16.260
where the husband is financially providing and you're maybe a stay-at-home wife or mother?
01:29:20.920
I wouldn't like to say financially providing, but everything else.
01:29:27.360
Like, love is something that is very important to me.
01:29:32.260
I like, like, a monogamous relationship with someone.
01:29:36.900
I, like, I understand a lot about relationships.
01:29:39.320
I know what I'm willing to give and, like, ready to give to someone.
01:29:44.600
I'm a very nurturing person, so I would like to share that with somebody.
01:29:48.620
You wouldn't want to be financially dependent on a man?
01:29:51.840
I would like to have someone who contributes with me, and if you have more success than
01:30:00.580
But I wouldn't ever want to be financially dependent on a man.
01:30:03.580
I've always been, like, very financially dependent on myself, and I can't imagine not having that.
01:30:13.660
Of course you don't want to think that, but, yeah.
01:30:16.860
Would you expect to be able to continue doing sort of sexual content whilst also being married or becoming a mother?
01:30:25.560
Like, if someone was requesting that I stop doing that and they were able to, like, provide for me to replace that, I would consider it.
01:30:37.080
Like, I feel like with me dating, it's very important to talk about with anyone that I'm going to be with, and I really like to try and understand more, like, what that would be like for them.
01:30:51.620
Like, that perspective of always being on the spotlight, a lot of perceived attention.
01:30:56.340
So, I feel like also with dating someone like that, with someone dating me, one second.
01:31:05.100
Happiness is an inappropriate metric for marriage statistics because it is an emotional state of mind.
01:31:13.560
It fluctuates, so what's the point of using that for marriage stats?
01:31:20.900
There's actually, I mean, this is a very curious thing.
01:31:23.000
There's longitudinal happiness indexes that talk a lot about this.
01:31:30.500
Men that don't get married in their 40s and 50s, they are 300% more depressed than married men, and their rate of terminal depression is 200% increased.
01:31:46.580
It's like 200% rate of increased depression, and then 150 or so rate of increased terminal depression.
01:31:52.580
So, if you want to talk about the ramifications of not being in a more traditional relationship, being unmarried, it actually doesn't manifest very well.
01:32:02.000
I wonder what the difference, though, is between men who have never been married, men who are single, and men who have been divorced.
01:32:10.580
I don't know if there's any stats on that, but I do want to bring it back to, we do have the stats.
01:32:22.340
The Washington Post reported on this, most recently as of 2018.
01:32:28.700
Share of men and women between ages 18 and 30 reporting no sex in the past year.
01:32:37.940
I think this graph would essentially prove that there are more women engaging in casual sex than there are men.
01:32:50.640
Eric, if you can look in the infographics tab, there's Pew Men More Single and Pew Men More Single 2.
01:32:56.900
And this is more recent than that 2018 GSS survey that the Washington Post reported on.
01:33:04.480
Eric, let me know when you have those pulled up.
01:33:17.380
Is that accounting for people in relationships, or just single men and women?
01:33:20.900
Well, it's the share of men and women between ages 18 and 30 reporting no sex in the past year.
01:33:30.560
Well, I'm not sure how is that relevant to the statistic.
01:33:34.200
Because there's a difference between having casual sex and being in a monogamous relationship,
01:33:41.940
Eric, can you pull up the initial graph so we can...
01:33:49.280
So, it doesn't really differentiate, but I mean, I suppose some of these people are
01:34:00.880
in sexless relationships, but it's talking about reporting no sex in the past year.
01:34:05.960
So, I'm trying to understand where the relation...
01:34:10.160
Whether if they're in a relationship or not has any bearing on this specific infographic.
01:34:17.660
The point that you were making was that women are...
01:34:20.800
This is what you said, that women are more promiscuous than men.
01:34:24.800
So, you're showing whether or not they've had those encounters,
01:34:28.980
but you're not saying whether or not they're in a relationship or single.
01:34:31.920
Well, and maybe your next statistic talks about single ones,
01:34:37.980
The case that you were making was that women are more promiscuous than men,
01:34:41.560
and I want to know the statistics specifically on how single women are more promiscuous.
01:34:48.700
The graph just showed that there are a greater proportion of women
01:35:01.960
But typically in a relationship, you've paired off one-to-one.
01:35:05.900
Therefore, if there's a larger proportion of women who are engaging...
01:35:16.300
that there's women who think they're in relationships with a guy
01:35:26.380
I mean, in any case, let's see the other infographic.
01:35:35.960
Okay, the share of single men in the U.S. who are looking for dates or relationship
01:35:46.680
Percent of single U.S. adults who say they are looking for a committed romantic relationship
01:35:58.300
I think the other one's actually more important.
01:36:02.980
I think it's the other one that's more relevant than number two.
01:36:09.540
But this varies by age, and this next one's important, by gender.
01:36:16.060
Between the ages of 18 to 29, 63% of men are reporting being single.
01:36:28.760
That does not help address the declining marriage rates.
01:36:32.440
Men shouldn't be getting married just to prove a point that they won't get depression
01:36:36.460
or be a criminal, especially when you consider the financial risks.
01:36:43.480
Yeah, I will say there's a lot of misinformation about divorce rates in the U.S.
01:36:46.680
A lot of people will repeat this trope that 50% of marriages in the U.S. end in divorce,
01:36:52.280
And then if you look even deeper at that, if you look at first-time marriage,
01:36:56.420
so if you're a man and a woman who are both getting married for the first time,
01:36:59.040
that national divorce rate average is actually 35%.
01:37:01.520
Because if people are getting married, let's say you're on your second marriage,
01:37:05.180
your divorce rate goes up from 44 on average, sorry, from 35 on average up to 63.
01:37:09.860
And then if it's your third marriage, your divorce rate goes up to around 70 or 71%.
01:37:14.500
So this 44% national average stat is getting sort of inflated by people
01:37:19.180
that are on their second or third divorce or people that are, sorry,
01:37:23.100
they're getting divorced super quickly and sort of flippantly.
01:37:26.680
And then it's sort of different by the area of socioeconomic or racial demographics.
01:37:31.460
If you look at two, like my wife and I are both white.
01:37:36.560
We're not on our second marriage or second divorce.
01:37:41.280
So suddenly you start sort of looking at the nuance of these divorce rates
01:37:44.800
and it's like, well, it's actually maybe not as bad as you think it is.
01:37:50.740
It's not as bad as you've sort of been ingrained to think it is
01:37:53.340
because these numbers are, like I said, they're sort of stat padded
01:37:56.080
by people that are serially getting divorced over and over and over again.
01:38:00.200
I think there's a certain amount of anti-marriage
01:38:04.080
and anti-family propaganda in the country sort of trying to compel you guys
01:38:13.260
I'm the anti-marriage propaganda arm, propaganda minister.
01:38:17.460
In any case, Alvin, Sam, thank you very much for your two TTSs there.
01:38:24.920
Let's pull back up that stat I was kind of getting to.
01:38:36.460
If you look at ages 18 to 29, if you go to about the fourth grouping down,
01:38:43.940
it says men ages 18 to 29 are reporting being, 63% are reporting being single.
01:38:49.720
In that same age cohort for women just below it, ages 18 to 29,
01:38:59.460
That's very shocking that in their exact same age cohort,
01:39:11.180
So it could be explained by, for example, perhaps,
01:39:13.940
women might be dating an older age demographic.
01:39:19.100
Women, generally speaking, it skews, I think, on average,
01:39:23.060
maybe two, three years older than them typically, at least for marriage.
01:39:25.940
But it would suggest to me that you have a not minimal cohort of women
01:39:38.920
I think you've seen a lot of data come out of Tinder or only, what's it called?
01:39:44.680
OKCupid, this dating site, where it sort of highlights this, this is to your point,
01:39:49.000
this sort of sexually hipergamous situation where it's like the top,
01:39:51.740
this is your giga chad, your 8 out of 10, 9 out of 10, 10 out of 10 guys
01:39:54.800
that are having free range and having sex with women from,
01:40:02.100
A 10 out of 10 guy will sometimes be in the mood to have sex with a 5 out of 10 girl.
01:40:06.740
And so, yeah, you're having the top giga chad type of guys
01:40:09.020
that are sort of having free reign amongst all of the girls.
01:40:11.440
And then that means that 70 or 80% of men are not having access to these women.
01:40:15.700
I think what's happening is you have some hyper-sexual,
01:40:24.740
And then you have some, like, mid-, medium-tier,
01:40:30.380
and that's a small percentage of men that are, like, hyper-promiscuous,
01:40:37.780
Then you'll have a higher proportion of women who are, like,
01:40:43.540
And then you'll have, like, a huge swath of men
01:40:47.080
that are basically incapable of engaging in hookup culture or promiscuity
01:40:54.120
They can't engage in hookup culture or promiscuity
01:40:58.060
because they just don't have the looks or the charisma
01:41:05.940
if it was the case that there's equal levels of promiscuity
01:41:10.580
between men and women, how would you then explain, for example,
01:41:13.880
the incel phenomenon which doesn't exist in women?
01:41:20.880
Oh, incel, so that stands for involuntarily celibate.
01:41:24.860
So basically men who sometimes they add, like, a period of time for it.
01:41:31.740
But basically men who are involuntarily celibate,
01:41:35.040
despite their want and desire to have a sexual relationship with a girl,
01:41:39.440
either they're unattractive or they are severely lacking on some social front
01:41:44.600
or, you know, whatever it may be, they cannot get sex.
01:41:47.880
I think what's more sad about this conversation is that we're living in an era
01:41:52.820
where promiscuity and multiple partners engaging in casual sex
01:41:58.380
is somehow glorified over having a monogamous relationship.
01:42:04.320
I feel like we've kind of been on this tangent for a little bit,
01:42:06.500
but I'm genuinely curious, like, do each of you want to find a life partner
01:42:11.040
to find somebody that you can be vulnerable with to give your love to
01:42:17.980
Do you think monogamy is, like, the right way, like, the only way it should be?
01:42:22.800
Like, do you not think non-monogamous relationships are okay?
01:42:26.400
No, I don't think non-monogamous relationships are okay, and here's why.
01:42:35.880
and to give yourself fully into your relationship, let's put it that way,
01:42:45.560
it opens room for full sacrifice, full love, full giving of the other person.
01:42:50.400
And it allows us, especially as women, to be fully vulnerable with our man,
01:42:56.160
and that we don't have to put up this, you know, protection over our hearts
01:43:01.040
and over, you know, us as individuals and our spirits.
01:43:05.460
So I think that, yes, relationships need to be monogamous.
01:43:09.600
And, again, if we look at the satisfaction and the fulfillment
01:43:12.660
that people get out of relationships, statistically,
01:43:24.100
It was done by the American Family Study, I believe.
01:43:26.660
But are we just going to gloss over our back and forth on the promiscuity thing?
01:43:31.600
So you brought up a statistic that did not talk about...
01:43:40.700
Okay, I do agree that women are more promiscuous,
01:43:44.200
but the stats that you brought up are 63% of men are single.
01:43:52.940
I think that men would be as promiscuous as women if they could be,
01:43:57.960
Okay, regardless of whether we think it or not,
01:44:06.460
that shows the statistics on single women and promiscuity,
01:44:10.500
then we can have that conversation in more depth.
01:44:21.860
That doesn't account for women in relationships.
01:44:31.020
And you're using specifically the word promiscuous.
01:44:38.340
but I'm failing to see how your argument about whether,
01:45:07.480
Everything we're talking about is so situational.
01:45:10.260
Like, this isn't, like, such a black and white issue.
01:45:15.780
Like, I feel like it's, like, pitting them against each other more
01:45:19.720
instead of, like, talking about, like, ways that we can try
01:45:24.040
And, like, it's okay for some people to have faults in certain ways
01:45:29.860
So we could, like, instead of, like, arguing who's worse, like, then what?
01:45:34.780
It degrades women to say that women are more promiscuous than men.
01:45:42.240
But if you're going to make a statement about them...
01:45:52.400
My view of it would be if you engage in casual sex.
01:45:59.380
You engage in casual sex, you have multiple partners, et cetera, et cetera.
01:46:03.140
I think men are evolutionarily designed to be more promiscuous.
01:46:16.900
Like, it's much harder for men to secure sex than it is for women to secure sex.
01:46:21.680
Is it because women can choose who they sleep with?
01:46:38.240
I think women are the sexual selectors, for example.
01:46:46.960
Maybe some women are like that because they're worried about being seen as promiscuous or getting judged,
01:46:55.280
For all of human history, prior to advent of birth control in, what, the 1970s,
01:46:58.720
if a woman is having promiscuous sex, there's a very high chance that she'll get pregnant
01:47:01.740
and she'll be tied down to a man that she might not even love.
01:47:03.940
Her body will go through enormous changes for nine months.
01:47:08.860
That's why, I mean, biologically, female promiscuity is generally not a great thing.
01:47:12.820
That's why women have evolved, like, not to want to do that.
01:47:17.380
That's how a woman ought to behave, which is why, generally, if a woman is super promiscuous these days,
01:47:20.720
it's, like, sort of counter to her biological nature.
01:47:22.860
I would say that promiscuity in general is just not a great thing.
01:47:26.120
But men and women work hand in hand to create promiscuity.
01:47:28.800
I think we can all agree, like, anyone going out and being extremely promiscuous is not a good thing.
01:47:52.520
Okay, but so I can answer your thing about, like, why are...
01:47:57.760
I can answer your thing as to why we're having this discussion, and it stemmed from this idea
01:48:02.020
that, well, men ought to be leaders, and it's, you know, men are to blame for the current
01:48:08.600
state of affairs between the sexes, and, I mean, my view is...
01:48:17.800
I have no idea what you're talking about, but...
01:48:29.560
But that's not good either, because we actually have a problem in our society where we've...
01:48:35.260
And we were kind of talking about this before the show, like, we've created this society
01:48:39.940
that nonstop bags on men and trashes on masculinity when...
01:48:48.320
They're certainly not, and men have failed society in many ways.
01:48:52.160
But this narrative that masculinity and men are toxic, they're bringing everything bad
01:48:58.100
to society is just, first of all, just certainly not true.
01:49:05.700
Yeah, and, like, I feel like as a woman who experiences that, I want to try and be more
01:49:10.140
understanding of what that's like for men and not just be, like, women are the only people
01:49:16.100
Like, we both experience that in different ways.
01:49:18.780
And I feel like sometimes women struggle with that, gets highlighted more, just maybe because
01:49:24.400
that's what we're going through in this time, but that doesn't mean that, like, it doesn't
01:49:36.500
Lady, only 40% of men have reproduced historically, compared to 80% of women.
01:49:50.800
Women are, by their very nature, more promiscuous than men.
01:50:01.720
Maybe someone should do an actual study on this, and then bring us the statistics, and
01:50:09.020
Let's go back to capability, though, because that's a big...
01:50:13.520
This is the exact opposite of female promiscuity.
01:50:15.840
If 40% of men are breeding, and 80% of women are, that means that it's one man and multiple
01:50:23.940
That's the opposite of your point you're trying to make.
01:50:30.500
Here's the difference, is you could have one man who impregnates 20 women.
01:50:36.020
So, you could have, like, a top tier of men that are capable of sleeping with, like, 100
01:50:44.500
women, but you might have 100 women who are more promiscuous than the average man.
01:50:49.900
I would say the average woman is more promiscuous than the average man, simply by virtue of the
01:50:58.220
Capability is a very important component of this discussion.
01:51:09.160
The studies are indeed confounded by access to sex.
01:51:13.560
If partners are adjusted by number of partners per sexually active individual or individual
01:51:18.580
sexual activity rate, then the few sexually active men will win the contest.
01:51:31.820
Unfortunately, our society has created that narrative, though.
01:51:36.300
I'm just, like, generalizing here, but, like, I'm just saying, like, everybody is different.
01:51:43.860
Like, we're just, I'm just still confused where this argument is going of, like.
01:51:49.920
So, I think we never got a chance to answer the question, though.
01:51:54.080
Do you, like, if we did a survey of the women here, would you want to be in a committed relationship
01:51:59.160
where you felt you could be vulnerable and taken care of and that you could fully trust
01:52:03.480
I feel like you could still do that in non-monogamous relationships.
01:52:07.120
I actually feel like it's a lot easier to feel fulfilled and satisfied in non-monogamous
01:52:15.920
You can go to multiple people for different needs.
01:52:19.060
I mean, it's kind of, it's really hard when you expect, like, just one person to be your,
01:52:31.200
Yeah, and I think in your pre-show information that you sent us, you said you wanted to talk
01:52:35.400
about monogamy and cheating and that, you said modern dating is problematic and most
01:52:40.080
people, you said most people should be non-monogamous.
01:52:44.600
I think people, that was a little bit extreme of me to say, but I think most people should
01:52:49.740
start considering, most people should start considering non-monogamy because.
01:53:03.360
You said people should, should start considering non-monogamy because I didn't mean to cut you
01:53:08.340
I feel like society puts pressure on, you know, us individuals to only be in monogamous
01:53:17.380
Like, a lot of people think monogamy is the right way to go.
01:53:20.640
There's a lot of negative, there's stigma around non-monogamous relationships.
01:53:25.560
And I feel like if society just started being more open-minded about non-monogamy, people
01:53:32.780
would be able to start exploring that option and there'd be less cheating because.
01:53:39.340
Yeah, because I feel like people don't want to be non-monogamous because they think it's
01:53:46.920
You feel like monogamy is the right way to go about relationships.
01:53:49.480
But do you think that non-monogamous relationships are more successful than monogamous ones?
01:53:53.600
I feel like the happiest, most successful relationships come out of monogamous relationships.
01:54:01.380
Like, if you want to be, I think the issue is people think that, a lot of people think
01:54:07.380
that monogamy is the right way to go about relationships.
01:54:10.920
But if people were to be more open-minded about non-monogamous relationships and were given
01:54:16.640
like the opportunity or didn't feel bad about exploring it, then, you know.
01:54:22.140
So, my question would be, what do you think a relationship is and what do you want to get
01:54:27.720
Because if it's just fulfilling desires, then that's, and you're saying that you'll feel
01:54:38.360
Well, I mean, I have a different opinion about that too.
01:54:41.900
But I will say, though, I mean, it's, we are more than our desires.
01:54:49.120
And I don't know about the women sitting here, but I know that when you're in a relationship
01:54:53.360
with somebody that you love and that you're committed to and you feel like you can trust
01:55:02.360
So, my question is like, what is it not possible to do that with more than one partner though?
01:55:08.760
I think she's just saying like statistically, it's been shown from what we know so far that
01:55:15.060
that's how people react and function in monogamous relationships.
01:55:20.180
And there might even be statistics opposed to like polyamorous relationships.
01:55:26.880
When you date, like when you are like in a relationship with more than one person, but
01:55:35.000
So, it goes back to my question of what do you want out of a relationship and what do
01:55:43.180
I feel like a relationship to me is just two people coming together, sharing happiness
01:55:56.740
I as well am conditioned into thinking that, you know, monogamy is the default.
01:56:02.800
I feel like I have some rewiring of my brain that I have to do because I honestly haven't...
01:56:11.520
I don't know too many people who are in non-monogamous relationships.
01:56:20.080
Like, every single stat suggests that monogamous relationships, man, woman, here we go.
01:56:28.100
What's the longest relationship any of y'all have in your family backgrounds?
01:56:34.800
This is what every single stat shows, is that monogamous...
01:56:39.720
Like, kids do better in monogamous relationships.
01:56:41.480
Spousal abuse is lower in monogamous relationships versus non-monogamous relationships.
01:56:50.600
Divorce rates are lower in monogamous man-woman relationships than non-monogamous relationships.
01:57:04.480
If I'm looking for a foundation with which to build my country, to build my society,
01:57:10.440
Because otherwise, you have an unequal balance.
01:57:11.940
And maybe you've got one woman that has 10 men or one man that has 10 women.
01:57:16.240
And that leads to some very curious, problematic sort of socio-problems, social problems.
01:57:24.640
But there are a lot of societies across the world that monogamy isn't the default.
01:57:38.380
Randomly, I actually looked into the statistic the other day for my work.
01:57:42.840
Because I was just assessing abuse in cases of polygamist relationships a lot, obviously.
01:57:51.040
And I actually had the misunderstanding that this was very prevalent in Islamic societies.
01:57:56.540
And although it's more common in those societies, it's actually less than like 1% of the world
01:58:12.340
And actually, if you survey those women who are in those relationships, they don't feel happy.
01:58:17.940
Was your previous relationship, was it non-monogamous?
01:58:24.320
So then I'm just curious, why the big push to...
01:58:30.640
Well, I just feel like there's a lot of negative stigma about non-monogamous relationships.
01:58:42.840
But if someone wants to be non-monogamous, I think it should be accepted.
01:58:54.560
But I think only 17% of societies around the world are wholly monogamous.
01:59:07.440
Monogamy, I'm pretty sure, is a norm in most places.
01:59:10.140
When you say monogamy, are you talking about people that are together when one's not cheating?
01:59:34.880
But when you say monogamy, are you talking about, like, people who are not cheating or presumed not cheating on each other?
01:59:41.640
Or, like, two people that agree to be together, but...
01:59:48.920
Like, it's two people who are very committed to each other that don't...
01:59:57.520
Yeah, so that would be non-monogamous or, like, cases of infidelity.
02:00:00.580
But how do they know if they say they're monogamous and they never get caught?
02:00:05.120
Okay, so you're comfortable throwing out the entire concept of monogamy because maybe, I don't know how many people, some people might be cheating.
02:00:38.020
The point is loving the child and having the family unit together.
02:00:41.860
I mean, unless they take a DNA test or take the proper steps to find out if it's theirs or not.
02:00:46.980
I mean, well, he does kind of raise a somewhat related point as to why, and I'll just touch on this and we'll continue on with the non-monogamy thing, but why, let's say, female promiscuity is more looked down upon than male promiscuity.
02:01:02.020
Let's say, for example, you're a man and you have 10 wives.
02:01:07.660
You know, in each instance, and assuming everybody's loyal to, well, the 10 women are loyal to the husband, you know that if those 10 women have children, they're all the one guy's kid.
02:01:23.200
However, if one woman has 10 husbands, you can't determine who the father is, historically speaking, yes.
02:01:37.740
However, that doesn't undo hundreds of thousands of years of evolution and just culture and society where if, you know, men have a built-in...
02:01:51.420
That's a real fear that men have that women can never experience, a paternity uncertainty.
02:02:01.620
Men have a stronger revulsion, like, instinct to promiscuity.
02:02:08.960
The greater crisis here is that we've created a society that teaches us that we can have casual sex and that we don't need to be committed to one another.
02:02:22.840
And when in reality, men and women were created for each other.
02:02:28.600
I believe that God created each of us for each other and that the union that God had in mind for men and women was one...
02:02:40.580
Was each of them coming together as husband and wife.
02:02:43.160
And as he shared, it's not just good for the person.
02:02:55.500
Just because divorce rates are low does not equate to successful relationships.
02:03:11.740
Okay, so marriage rates have been going down for 50 years since the 1970s, as have divorce rates.
02:03:16.380
So, yeah, if you look at the declining divorce rates and declining marriage rates, divorce rates are actually going down faster than the declining marriage rates.
02:03:24.520
But no doubt, the fewer people that get married, the fewer people get divorced because there's fewer people that even have the option to get divorced.
02:03:30.360
I'm talking about the fact that if I can spout off all of the divorce stats again, everyone's been taught 50% divorce rate.
02:03:38.400
That number is stat padded by people that get divorced 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 times.
02:03:42.880
If you're a person that's never been married, marrying another person that's ever been married, your national average divorce rate is around 35%.
02:03:48.680
But it's different for various socio or racial economic groups.
02:04:03.520
The first time married individuals getting divorced, I've got a white wife.
02:04:10.100
I think everyone should, you know, we need to, I would make a lot of changes about no-fault divorce, things like that.
02:04:15.600
I want people to vet their partners more seriously before they get married in the first place to help prevent some of these problems from manifesting at all.
02:04:21.440
But my point with the divorce stats and divorce rates is that it's not as bad as you've been conditioned to think it is.
02:04:28.040
My point is I think there's a certain degree in our society of anti-marriage and anti-family propaganda compelling young men to just opt out of the marriage dating pool and of the child-rearing pool.
02:04:42.500
Okay, we're going to talk about the marriage stuff a little later.
02:04:46.540
We do need to get caught up on a couple chats here.
02:04:49.620
So we have, and by the way, Mr. Meatball, we will get back to your question.
02:04:56.860
Holy crap, every time the girl with the blue, actually, can I have you read this one?
02:05:02.660
Holy crap, every time the girl with the blue hair speaks, I feel like I'm having a stroke.
02:05:24.820
You could probably screen record it and speed it up and watch it in your free time on 1.5 speed if you want to.
02:05:36.040
And also, are you sure you're not actually just having a stroke?
02:05:40.700
Okay, Brandon Mells, there you have it directly from her.
02:05:44.340
I think you've had really great contributions to this conversation.
02:05:52.020
Also, I agree that the collapse of the family, especially the loss of paternal leadership, has led to decline in discipline of young men, as well as poor role modeling for young ladies.
02:06:03.940
Yeah, like I said a moment ago, one-fourth of children right now in the U.S. don't have a dad in the house.
02:06:08.460
If you look at all crime across all aspects of crime, this is assault, this is violent crime, this is robbery, petty crime, this is all sorts of sexual abuse crime.
02:06:18.860
There's one common denominator amongst almost every single criminal, they come from a single-parent household.
02:06:25.820
It is very, very bad for kids to come from a broken family.
02:06:29.420
So, like I said, if I could snap my fingers and fix one problem in our society, it would be to fix the traditional household.
02:06:35.320
Why is it bad, though, just to come from a single-parent?
02:06:40.220
I don't think I don't think I don't think I don't think I don't think I don't think I don't think Matt is not saying you are destined to turn out bad if you did grow up in a single-parent household.
02:06:54.340
However, the likelihood, it's better to grow up in a two-parent household.
02:07:00.280
If you're a fetus inside of a pregnant woman's stomach right now, you should be hoping I've got a mom and dad, not just a mom and no dad.
02:07:06.960
I mean, as a fetus, do you even know what a mom and dad are?
02:07:13.880
Children do better in mom and dad households where they have not just the example and the love from the mom, but also the example and the love from the dad.
02:07:24.820
And also, children not only benefit from receiving love from their mom and their dad, but also witnessing the love of their parents that they have to each other.
02:07:34.760
It proves for more successful, more well-rounded children.
02:07:39.140
That doesn't mean that you can't come from a single-parent household and still be a thriving person and a contributing member to society and overcome those statistics, but I think he's just saying statistically, in general, that's what it shows.
02:07:58.840
Coming from personal experience, I grew up in a two-parent household, and yeah, my parents were together the whole entire time, and unfortunately, my mom passed away when I was 11.
02:08:11.180
And basically, it was just like my dad, I'm 18 now, so for seven, eight years, it's been just my dad, and I will say, coming from personal experience, I did feel a lot safer when I had two parents, and I felt more, I don't know, I guess comfortable financially, and yeah, just things like that, I would say.
02:08:40.220
I was going to say, my parents got divorced when I was in the second grade.
02:08:44.500
He grew up with never having a dad in the house, and I didn't have a dad in the house from a very young age.
02:08:52.140
I've thrived, but it's a very hard situation to be in for kids.
02:08:58.880
We cannot tolerate hand-waving broken households in this society.
02:09:05.040
Things are going too poorly to hand-wave fucked-up households.
02:09:10.280
It's important to have a positive role model for people, like a male and female role model in their lives, and to see that interaction, because that's how you learn to love and interact with people when you're older.
02:09:25.220
All right, we have Mr. Meatball here pulling this one back up.
02:09:32.380
What's the longest relationship any of y'all have in your family backgrounds, and how do you view those relationships?
02:09:39.640
Longest relationship any of y'all have in your family backgrounds?
02:09:59.240
I think it means, like, okay, like, for example, my answer would be, like, my parents are high school sweethearts.
02:10:04.700
They've been together for a very long time, but I look up to, I don't know, like that.
02:10:09.520
Yeah, like, did you view it as a positive relationship?
02:10:11.700
Yeah, I think it was a very positive thing, yes.
02:10:16.920
And, Mr. Meeple, I'm trying to maybe redirect this a little bit.
02:10:22.020
What's your current, you know, are your parents married?
02:10:28.120
And how do you, were you cool if they got divorced when you were young?
02:10:35.640
Well, I would say my, like, the longest, like, successful relationship in my family that I saw would probably be my grandparents.
02:10:45.600
My parents, my mom has never been married, but she was with, I mean, I call him my stepdad.
02:10:52.560
They weren't legally married, but they had that type of relationship.
02:10:59.780
My mom and my dad got divorced when I was three, and then my mom remarried when I was nine or ten, I think, to my stepdad.
02:11:16.940
My parents got married when I was a few months old, and they're still together 24 years later.
02:11:26.340
My parents are also still together and have been married for quite a while.
02:11:30.000
So, my parents have been together since high school, and they actually didn't get married until I was about 10 or 11, and then they ended up divorcing when I was 14.
02:11:40.260
So, after they divorced, like, I never really saw my dad, ever.
02:11:44.540
Like, occasionally, maybe once every year and now and then, but it was, I lived with my mom, and it was mainly me and my mom.
02:11:50.680
So, was it his, sorry, do you mind if I ask, like, was it his choice to leave and kind of be absent?
02:12:00.280
I mean, the only involvement was really kind of us.
02:12:02.680
I didn't meet my real dad until I was 21, so, like, you know, it's never too late.
02:12:14.360
I mean, he was there for a while, but, like, he never really, like, got to know any of us.
02:12:24.040
But, like, realistically, I never got close to him.
02:12:26.820
He lived with us, and I really didn't even know him.
02:12:29.220
I know nothing about his past, know nothing about his background.
02:12:34.240
But you said that they were together until you were 11.
02:12:39.740
So, I mean, didn't for 14 years from in your childhood, he was present?
02:12:45.900
For about, when I was little, it was, like, on and off.
02:12:51.200
Not until I was about six was he, like, there every day.
02:12:57.900
He was, like, physically present, but you didn't, like, get to connect with him during that time.
02:13:27.880
I didn't even know that they didn't have a good marriage until they divorced.
02:13:32.040
And the older I get, the more I realize, I mean, obviously, I think that my mom was an incredible mom.
02:13:40.280
And I can't thank my mom enough for all the ways that she sacrificed for our family.
02:13:44.560
But I do see the wound of how it would have been better for my dad to be in the picture the whole time that we were growing up.
02:14:01.240
My grandma and grandpa, they've been married 51 years.
02:14:11.520

02:14:41.520
So I appreciate everybody who's been doing it through Streamlabs.

02:14:53.140
Your habit of blaming men descended into enabling bad behavior in women.
02:14:57.220
Hedonism is entirely on the woman because she has a choice of either that or modesty traditionalism,
02:15:08.220
Listen, my point is, young men, blaming women and pointing their finger at women is not going to do anything for society.
02:15:19.700
All you have to do is be introspective and look at your own behavior and improve your behavior.
02:15:22.880
And I promise you, if you are a disciplined man, you will find a woman to follow.
02:15:30.880
But posting online complaining about the promiscuous behavior of women, however promiscuous they might be, and they are, is not going to solve the problem.
02:15:42.460
Just one quick thing, and I think this maybe plays into your point that you made earlier about men have a responsibility in this.
02:15:51.000
Men ought to be leaders because if men were leaders, then that would ostensibly fix all the issues in society.
02:16:00.560
However, isn't leadership a dance to some degree?
02:16:06.840
To be more specific, in order to be a leader, there have to be people willing to follow you.
02:16:12.900
Do you think that, and I think a lot of women want a guy who's, like, assertive and is a leader.
02:16:20.640
You know, you'll often see, like, memes on dating apps about, like, you know, a lot of girls say, like, oh, I want a guy to pick where we go to eat.
02:16:28.000
I want a guy who has, like, that sort of assertiveness, those leadership qualities of, like, being decisive.
02:16:37.180
However, is there, I think there's a component of what a lot of women have been taught through feminism and stuff, is women want leaders.
02:16:45.820
Women are attracted to men who are assertive and dominant and leaders and masculine.
02:16:52.120
However, there's, like, this other thing going on where it's, like, they want leaders, but they don't want to follow.
02:17:02.140
I don't think that any highly successful traditional man is having a trouble finding wife.
02:17:10.720
I can't blame women for not wanting to have a life of tradition, given how 90-plus percent of men are in our society.
02:17:17.500
There's not enough traditional men to go around.
02:17:19.040
And so, no doubt you've got a lot of women that are fed up with that whole tradition thing, because men suck.
02:17:31.060
How can you blame women for not wanting to sign on board with one of these guys?
02:17:38.400
Just don't stop subscribing to OnlyFans, though.
02:17:53.280
Listen, everybody do what they want to do, as long as it doesn't hurt anybody else, okay?
02:18:07.840
I feel like we're on the same page, except for the OnlyFans thing.
02:18:10.680
But other than that, I love what you're saying.
02:18:14.520
Do you know what percentage of men subscribe to you that are married?
02:18:30.480
What, like, what percentage of men that subscribe to me that are married?
02:18:35.020
But I told you I was a dancer for many years, so I've spent a lot of time in the club with, like, a real-life experience of that.
02:19:04.180
Okay, guys, we have, oh, my, guys, we have 3,500 people watching, but we only have 867 likes.
02:19:12.920
As punishment, oh, my God, as punishment, can I have you, Gia, right?
02:19:33.960
An increase in young men not having sex, equal sign, slash, equal sign.
02:19:48.920
If you look at the same plot, you actually see the percent of women not having sex doesn't change, but the men's increases dramatically in the last few years.
02:20:05.160
I mean, your last sentence there does nothing to disprove my point.
02:20:08.940
Just because there's not an increase in that specific stat I showed you does nothing to refute my argument.
02:20:17.020
So, an increase in young men not having sex does not equal women being more promiscuous.
02:20:25.360
When I say more promiscuous, I'm not necessarily saying that there's an increase in female promiscuity, although it's plausible there is.
02:20:36.320
I would say there's been an increase in promiscuity in both genders since basically the proliferation of dating apps and social media, but I think it's made it a lot easier for those top-tier men to just have way more access to just casual sex because, I mean, and we know this by the data released from the dating apps, basically you have women who are only swiping on the top five, top 10% of men.
02:21:04.680
The top 10% of men, top 5% of men on dating apps have all the choice, all the choice, and so it's very, very, it's become much easier for them to enact on their capability to be promiscuous, and I think women will happily, like, oh, here's an opportunity to sleep with a guy who's out of my league.
02:21:26.940
Okay, I'll do it, but thank you for the super chat.
02:21:30.020
We've got a couple others, so we've got to keep it moving.
02:21:31.840
Ethan, hey, thank you for the 50, invisible sky friend opinions shouldn't be the deciding factor in how marriage and society works.
02:21:41.800
Women are picky, and guys will take what they can get relationship-wise.
02:21:51.360
Well, I think, I mean, my understanding, Matt, you, you're a pretty secular, if I, is that correct?
02:22:13.760
Can you tell me off the record just because I'm curious?
02:22:23.700
Wait, are you, come on, are you actually religious?
02:22:26.420
I got some funky beliefs, too, so you can tell me.
02:22:30.520
I don't think you have to be Christian to, like, adhere to these ideologies and understand them.
02:22:37.840
And I think most of the arguments, Matt, that you make when it comes to marriage are not rooted in...
02:22:44.080
No, in fact, this is one of my biggest criticisms of the religious right, like, the based trad right,
02:22:49.680
is that unless the people you're preaching to are already part of the choir, they're not going to listen to you, I think.
02:22:55.460
And you haven't really been preaching at all from a religious point.
02:22:57.720
No, I brought up the fact that I was Christian once.
02:23:01.080
But I see this a lot online where it's like, listen, you shouldn't behave this way because the Bible says so,
02:23:07.960
So it's like, well, if I don't give a shit about the Koran or the Bible or the Talmud, why do I care what your point is?
02:23:12.880
I think you've got to be able to push these ideas or push the trad philosophy, if that's what you want, from a rhetorically effective way.
02:23:28.200
Sorry, the British robot voice scuffed that for you, but it's all okay, thank you for the TTS.
02:23:49.540
I mean, we've talked about enough statistics here that we understand the data proves that monogamous relationships, better society, lead to more happy and fulfilled partners, lead to the success of children.
02:24:00.700
But I also do think we have to ask ourselves, like, where does our value come from?
02:24:05.980
Where does our, like, innate human dignity come from?
02:24:14.800
Well, let's save that for the philosophical podcast.
02:24:17.300
Joel Bell, hey, thank you for the 50, negative.
02:24:21.540
My math shows that that's the minority, not majority.
02:24:24.740
The key word is most men are not promiscuous, whereas most women are.
02:24:28.480
Understand what people say before calling debunked.
02:24:33.900
Hey, Joel Bell, thank you for the super chat there.
02:24:38.200
We definitely went around on the promiscuity thing enough as it is, but I do want to bring it back to a couple points here, and we got away from this rather quick.
02:24:53.400
So do you think in your next relationships you will explore non-monogamy?
02:24:57.560
I'm not sure yet, but if I do want to explore non-monogamy, I don't think it'd be fair for people to look down on me for it.
02:25:06.380
And so, and when you say non-monogamy, would you, would it be like a polycule where it's like you're all like a three-way relationship?
02:25:18.440
I'm not sure what kind of non-monogamous relationship I'd be interested in pursuing.
02:25:23.180
I definitely have a lot of research to do about that because I know there's so many different kinds of non-monogamous relationships, but yeah, currently I'm not sure yet.
02:25:33.740
To be clear, I'm not looking down on you or anyone because of their relationship status or what they're doing with their lives.
02:25:40.200
I just know that based off the statistics, this is what the studies have shown.
02:25:46.840
And also I believe that every person has dignity and deserves to be loved, cherished, respected, and has, and have their dignity upheld.
02:25:54.420
And then Rhea, just really quick, so when it comes to the non-monogamy thing, you, in your pre-show messages to us, said that you consider yourself a feminist slash leftist.
02:26:09.180
Do your views on that sort of stuff have any, have they motivated you when it comes to your views on non-monogamy?
02:26:16.980
Maybe, I mean, I want to talk about the history of monogamy.
02:26:21.420
I mean, do we know where monogamy came from and why it's now the default to our society?
02:26:32.140
But do we know how it became to be the default?
02:26:34.780
It's, it's, it's, it's based on procreation, I would imagine.
02:26:40.000
Like, for, for human civilization to advance, they, like.
02:26:46.980
I would imagine it's based on procreation and what makes human civilization advance, um, the best.
02:26:57.820
Yeah, I do know that humans, as a species, we have very altrucial young, so that means they require a lot of care, especially in their early stages.
02:27:05.820
And I think that's where the idea, or, I guess, cultural means of monogamy has kind of surfaced from, is that need for not only just another partner, but a village to really help raise a child to survive into adulthood.
02:27:21.540
Um, also, I think a lot of people, like, want to be just together.
02:27:26.200
It's, like, the feeling of love and, like, finding a special person that you can build a life with.
02:27:34.200
Well, I mean, I, I think I mentioned this earlier, but, uh, I think men have a vest, a pretty vested interest in monogamy insofar as the paternity certainty component.
02:27:46.180
So, back in the day, if a woman had multiple sexual partners, that's kind of why, that's another reason, in addition to just monogamy, why virginity was so valued.
02:27:56.520
If a woman was promiscuous or had multiple sexual partners, there was no way in the past, uh, you know, pretty much up until 40 years ago, for people to determine who is the father of a child.
02:28:10.400
And, uh, for, and sometimes I think, perhaps women don't realize how important that is, because as a woman, if you have a kid, you know for certain that that's your child.
02:28:21.300
However, as a, as a man, you know, absent the paternity test, or you know that she's a virgin and she's only been with you, there's a component of paternity uncertainty, which is pretty much, if you're, as a guy, if you're raising a child that you think is yours but is not, that's pretty much the biggest L that you can take.
02:28:39.160
I also think it's a way that, in society, people, like, use to control and oppress women as well as that.
02:28:54.740
Well, because sometimes they'll be told that they're worthless if they have that, or they'll be, they'll be controlled and only have certain things that they can do because, on the basis that they need to maintain their virginity.
02:29:09.360
Well, I mean, okay, so there's a religious component that I suppose started about 2,000 years ago.
02:29:16.260
I think, I think chastity was valued up until very recently for both men and women, for religious reasons, chiefly.
02:29:25.380
Although that's kind of been eroded away by modern modernity, I guess you could say, but.
02:29:32.960
I mean, I think if you want to look at, like, male-female sexual relations for 99.999% of human history, you need to get out of the mindset of, like, our modern dynamic.
02:29:42.700
Right now, we've got birth control, we've got abortions, we've got so many things that you can use to sort of interfere with that natural system.
02:29:48.420
But that's not how it was for most of human history.
02:29:51.860
Like, as a man, if you are going to be raising a child, you want to make sure with 100% certainty it is your child.
02:29:59.280
You don't want a woman that is sleeping with multiple men because then you don't know what's going on, right?
02:30:03.220
And so this is one of the reasons why virginity is so valuable back in the day.
02:30:06.120
I completely understand that, and I think that that's true.
02:30:08.060
I'm just saying, I feel like that can be used, like, on the guise of that to, like, control women as well, like, more so.
02:30:18.420
I think that, like, Brian pointed out, I think that...
02:30:20.740
Like, it leads to, like, a woman being abused or not having say over themselves because that is, like, the main thing that men are concerned about is her virginity.
02:30:29.940
And that can go above her, like, condition and her right.
02:30:36.180
Matt brought up a really good point about birth control.
02:30:40.600
And so, you know, ignoring the paternity uncertainty thing, this was something that would fall more so upon women.
02:30:48.420
Like, you know, if you engaged in sex with somebody prior to there being birth control, like, pretty good chance you might get pregnant and can't get...
02:31:00.660
In any case, without birth control and without abortion, you know, there wasn't, what, 300 years ago, if you have sex with somebody, like, not really a way out if you get pregnant.
02:31:13.260
Or there's not really a way to prevent a pregnancy.
02:31:18.520
It's just the biological reality that if you get pregnant, like, that's kind of a big deal.
02:31:24.480
So, and especially without modern healthcare, too.
02:31:28.300
Like, the healthcare, if you got pregnant as a woman, like, bro, there's a chance you fucking die.
02:31:34.660
In a world where there's no birth control and you've got a very high risk of getting pregnant if you have sex with a man, are you going to be as promiscuous in that world as you are in this world?
02:31:43.460
Because there's a very high chance that man you just had sort of casual, promiscuous, flippant sex with, you might get pregnant.
02:31:50.780
And you've got to carry his child into the world and deal with that man for the rest of your life.
02:31:53.860
And so it's from a female's point of view also, 100 years ago, 200, 300, 1,000 years ago, as a woman, you probably don't want to be promiscuous either.
02:32:03.820
It's you don't want to be promiscuous because if you have sex with that man, you might be tied down forever with that guy.
02:32:14.660
It's in the woman's interest, back then at least, a different conversation now that we have birth control, I guess.
02:32:19.400
But for most human history, it's in the woman's interest to not be promiscuous either.
02:32:25.740
Well, actually, it wasn't, according to research, it really wasn't until the 18th century during the movement of romanticism that people started really getting into monogamy.
02:32:37.280
Like, when the romanticism movement started, that's when people started really giving in to the idea of having their one true love and their one true soulmate.
02:32:44.780
But prior to the 18th century and the 17th century, people were just fucking like crazy.
02:32:50.780
Monogamy, people weren't super into monogamy like we are now today.
02:32:54.740
It's different because it was what you're talking about is people talking about finding their true love or their soulmate.
02:33:02.620
Whereas before, it wasn't so much based on initial feelings or romanticizing a relationship and more about just that dying commitment that this is my spouse.
02:33:14.420
And I'm going to learn to love them and commit to love them for the rest of my life.
02:33:18.340
And there was like a lot less, I don't know, fairytale glitter, rosy colored glasses around the idea of love and sacrifice.
02:33:31.260
I feel like prior to the romanticism movement, people more so got married for logistics.
02:33:38.380
Because I feel like there was research that I saw that.
02:33:53.860
It's easier to raise kids when you're married, I feel like.
02:34:02.360
Yeah, but with the history of monogamy, prior to 1 AD, when before Christianity started becoming, you know, more of a thing, monogamy really wasn't that common.
02:34:18.260
I feel like monogamy, based on the research that I've personally seen, and you guys can, you know, of course, fact check it.
02:34:24.220
But based on the research that I've seen, like monogamy wasn't really, you know, this thing that was going around the world until the 1850s when Western imperialism became a thing.
02:34:37.500
And white people just started going around the world saying, oh, monogamy is the way to go because I don't understand non-monogamy.
02:34:43.920
If you look at pre-biblical India, they're pro-monogamy.
02:34:46.920
If you read the Quran or the Bhagavad Gita, they're talking about monogamy.
02:34:49.900
They're talking about the beauty and sanctity of a male-female relationship.
02:34:53.620
Actually, the Quran describes it beautifully, and commentary on the Quran, it describes marriage as two souls becoming one essence, which is really beautiful.
02:35:03.440
I feel like the spread of disease is also a big driver for monogamy.
02:35:09.440
Yeah, I mean, that's a really good point you bring up there.
02:35:15.980
But people who are non-monogamous and, you know, practice non-monogamy...
02:35:20.940
When they, you know, have sex with other people, they know to use protection, whereas these people...
02:35:27.560
I know of a lot of people who are in monogamous relationships who still end up getting STDs because when their partners cheat on them, they're not using protection.
02:35:37.940
Yeah, but you can also get cheated on in a non-monogamous relationship, too.
02:35:45.840
And then also, I mean, certainly the odds of getting an STD is, I would say it's greater in non-monogamous relationships than monogamous relationships.
02:36:01.080
I mean, protection is not foolproof deterrent to getting an STD.
02:36:09.720
It is a preventative measure, but, like, take, for example, herpes.
02:36:13.340
You can, even if you're wearing a condom, like, you can still get herpes.
02:36:18.960
Like, because you could have an outbreak, like, on the base of the fucking...
02:36:27.960
Like, people really be out here fucking without condoms.
02:36:39.200
I feel like the problem isn't about monogamy or non-monogamy because I think everyone assumes a certain risk when they do engage in sexual activity.
02:36:47.200
I think it's the problem with having a conversation and being open with your partners or partner about those different things.
02:36:54.200
Yeah, well, I think also when it comes to raising a family, I don't know if that's an ideal family dynamic to have, like...
02:37:09.440
Well, like, if there's one mom and, like, three fathers, that might be a little...
02:37:15.820
There's going to be, like, infighting, and then, like, if there's offspring, or maybe I shouldn't say offspring, if there's children.
02:37:22.940
I think there's also more to a marriage than just raising children and having children, although one of the fruits of marriage is child-bearing and having children.
02:37:32.420
I mean, isn't that the primary reason of marriage?
02:37:38.280
Like, you can be married and not have children.
02:37:39.900
Do you learn from each other, like, growing with someone?
02:37:44.660
Like, if you look at the purpose of marriage, it's to love your spouse unconditionally, although that's, I mean, that people think nowadays that you can get married and that it's not forever.
02:37:56.640
Although, I mean, in the design of marriage and in the design of humanity, who you commit your life to in marriage should be forever.
02:38:02.920
And with the goal that you'll be married until death do you part.
02:38:07.560
So, the purpose of marriage is to love one another, sacrificially and wholly.
02:38:13.020
And then, as a result of that love, children are the fruit of it.
02:38:17.640
We have two super chats here we have to react to.
02:38:25.620
Monogamy was enacted to stabilize societies and to help prevent the spread of diseases.
02:38:35.480
TJ King, good to see you back in the chat as well.
02:38:37.640
Ladies, if social media disappeared, namely Instagram, overnight, do you think it would be a good or bad thing for the dating marketplace?
02:38:49.640
One reason I think it would be a good thing is because I remember that you were saying the more someone scrolls on Instagram and the more they look at it, it had some sort of negative effect on how they view other people in their dating life.
02:39:05.740
And when people are dating, the more people they see, they tend to compare them.
02:39:14.880
And if you're just like always going through that comparison, I feel like people are never happy.
02:39:20.060
Even if you're not intending on like looking outside your relationship, I feel like that's where it can start a lot.
02:39:28.080
A lot of stuff happens in the DMs, so I think dating would be better.
02:39:34.120
People can get to know each other more one-on-one.
02:39:36.940
Like for me specifically, because I do have such like a prominent internet presence, I feel like it's almost, it's difficult for me to get to know people who see me off of there because I feel like it's almost, it's different.
02:39:51.040
So I personally have a hard time with people's perception of me just based on my Instagram and then me in real life.
02:40:02.740
But I mean, I guess it comes with the territory.
02:40:11.360
It would definitely be a good thing if social media disappeared.
02:40:15.280
We would live more presently and more purposefully, I believe.
02:40:18.860
I also don't really know where I stand on that.
02:40:24.200
I think personally I prefer to not use social media as much.
02:40:28.200
As for dating, I think social media has its pros and cons.
02:40:32.800
I think it's just changing how people date, but I don't know if I'm in the place to stay if it would be a good thing.
02:40:50.380
All humans have processes of getting rid of old reproductive cells.
02:40:54.300
Does that mean you only get to do it once a month?
02:41:08.040
For one week, once a month, you jerk off as much as you want.
02:41:12.400
I feel like that would ruin your, like, sense of sexual gratification.
02:41:21.840
If you're beaten off five times a day for seven days straight, yeah, it's probably not good for you.
02:41:27.000
You'd probably get, like, some sort of, you know, burn on the skin.
02:41:35.540
The TTS came in, but it didn't read, so I just read it out loud.
02:41:42.760
Nick, do you want to pull up the super chat again?
02:41:56.180
Honestly, I think social media just kind of ruins everything.
02:41:58.620
It just kind of gives you more accessibility to other people and, like, more temptation to other things.
02:42:04.880
Like, I mean, you could be in a community relationship post photos with your significant other,
02:42:09.540
or have them in your bio, and people are still going to DM you, trying to be, like, hey, like, can I shoot my shot at you?
02:42:14.960
Like, it's, like, they don't understand, like, boundaries of that.
02:42:17.700
So, yeah, I think definitely social media is very impactful.
02:42:26.200
I think that a lot of good points were made around it.
02:42:32.080
We would be able to experience our partner more presently.
02:42:34.960
And I think that we've, like, lost the beauty of meeting people organically and talking to people face-to-face.
02:42:42.280
And, of course, I already shared the statistic, but for the sake of conversation, there was a study that was done that men who follow a lot of girls on Instagram
02:42:50.400
and are spending a lot of time on social media feel less attracted to their partner.
02:42:54.100
So, if we're looking at that statistic, and I'm sure it's the same for women who are scrolling and they're seeing everybody's perfect, air quotes,
02:43:02.420
perfect relationship and comparing their relationship to that or they think everyone's happy,
02:43:07.460
that has a negative effect on their view of their own relationship.
02:43:11.320
So, yes, I think social media going away would have a net positive on relationships.
02:43:20.400
I think the absence of social media in a relationship would create, like, very much more intimate, cherishable relationships.
02:43:29.420
We need to get rid of the internet, not just social media, the entire internet.
02:43:32.920
We need to go back to pre-listen, the Industrial Revolution.
02:43:35.960
We need to go back before, no, pre-agricultural revolution.
02:43:39.700
We need to be nomadic tribes wandering to plans, hunting buffalo and bison and squirrels, unironically.
02:43:57.100
How are you going to sell power gum, though, before the internet?
02:44:00.840
I'm going to become like a brick maker or something.
02:44:14.380
Listen, if taking society back, I don't know, a couple hundred years means I never play World
02:44:29.540
Andrea, I mean, Andrea, we used to do videos nine, eight, seven years ago.
02:44:42.060
Just we stopped working together and, yeah, not really stored there.
02:44:47.640
Actually, I think I invited her to come be a guest on the podcast, but she didn't respond.
02:44:51.600
I think she's kind of out of the content creation social media space.
02:44:56.680
Okay, so I do want to come back to our esteemed guest, Ria.
02:45:14.920
Do you want to show the armpit hair or what's up?
02:45:19.720
I feel like I just shave it whenever I feel like it.
02:45:24.860
Like, is it like, you know, it's like, you know, okay.
02:45:43.680
And then I had, these are just notes that you guys provided for me before the show.
02:45:47.800
We have, let's see, Lexi, are you religious at all?
02:46:04.180
You said you're very conservative, but I used to be a little more wild before becoming a conservative Christian.
02:46:10.920
A lot of people say, oh, okay, that's some other stuff.
02:46:12.960
Um, what do you, when you say you used to be a little more wild, uh, what, what do you mean?
02:46:18.660
Yeah, I mean, I was never somebody that slept around or anything like that.
02:46:23.740
Um, my mom was really strict and I, in retrospect, I thank her for that because I think that kept me out of a lot of trouble.
02:46:30.740
But I definitely used to go out a lot more than I do now.
02:46:33.620
Um, I mean, I dated a lot of different people and I feel like I experienced what it was like to date people who didn't really respect me, didn't value me as an individual, didn't see my worth as a woman, um, for who I am, not just, you know, for the fact that I'm a woman.
02:46:50.360
Um, and so, yeah, so I have, like, that experience and, I mean, definitely had some fun moments.
02:46:57.540
But I would say, overall, the life that I'm living now, seeking out relationships that are leading to marriage, which I have been since I was, like, 20, um, I would say has been more fulfilling and has made me, overall, a happier person.
02:47:20.060
Which I own, by the way, because I think that it, it doesn't benefit anybody to sit here and to, you know, act perfect or to try to claim that I'm perfect.
02:47:30.860
I think everybody makes mistakes and we are all imperfect people.
02:47:34.660
And so, um, but I can say in terms of my view of myself, how fulfilled I am in my life, the career that I've been able to, um, to find and to create and, um, the purpose that I have found and overall just, again, happiness and fulfillment out of life is, I mean, a thousand times more than anything I could have imagined before.
02:47:56.400
We have a super chat here from Ryan, the eating warrior, I believe, directed to you.
02:48:06.200
I mean, honestly, actually, before I met the person that I'm in a relationship with now, I was single for, um, I mean, almost four years.
02:48:14.880
So, I dated a lot of, I mean, Christian men who were marriage-minded.
02:48:20.480
Um, but honestly, I was in the idea that I don't want to just marry someone just to get married, just to get married, which I think even secular women think about.
02:48:30.020
They think about the ring and they think about the dress and they don't think about what comes along with being married.
02:48:36.500
I wanted to make sure that I found the right person who I could see not only being a good husband, but being a good father and being a good partner.
02:48:44.460
Somebody that was going to push me to be everything that I was created to be.
02:48:48.320
Um, and so I wasn't, like, in a rush to get married at all.
02:48:51.500
And, um, I found the right person and we're dating, but it looks like it's leading towards marriage, so.
02:48:57.300
Wait, so you said you were, you were single for four years.
02:49:01.380
And, okay, you're 26, you've been in, you're in a two-year relationship currently?
02:49:10.280
So, when you said that, like, four-year single period, are you, like, you were celibate?
02:49:24.260
Wait, did, people in the chat were saying born-again virgin, is that?
02:49:29.740
That sounds like something from, like, ultra-trad purity culture.
02:49:44.220
I think we all should wait until marriage, yeah.
02:49:49.240
So, I mean, didn't you just answer the question?
02:49:52.520
I think, but I don't want to shame anybody that, that hasn't.
02:49:55.660
Oh, well, I don't think there's anything wrong with your position.
02:50:03.180
So, you, you, you previously, you'd, you'd had some indiscretions.
02:50:13.660
But now, but now, at this point, you are waiting until marriage.
02:50:21.640
To those who said yes, would you delete your Instagram?
02:50:35.020
If social media didn't exist, then I wouldn't even have an Instagram at all.
02:50:45.240
Like, the question we said yes to is, do you think dating would be better if social media
02:50:53.200
So, if it didn't exist, we wouldn't have an Instagram at all?
02:51:00.000
Would I just delete my Instagram, like, willy-nilly today?
02:51:07.720
I think you're saying, like, for a man, though.
02:51:09.540
Like, if your significant other wanted you to delete your social media, would you?
02:51:20.900
Boys as young as 12 who have been modestoed by women who got pregnant as a result?
02:51:29.280
Have been required to pay those women child support.
02:51:31.140
They know how unfair society is to the fellas, and not a single woman on this panel cares.
02:51:39.300
Well, okay, well, there is certainly, like, there have been court cases where a woman who was older was with a boy.
02:51:47.820
I'm going to just say that I don't prefer a situation like that.
02:52:02.580
Okay, well, in any case, there have been court cases where they will rule that the boy who was, let's say, statutory, he's on the hook for child support.
02:52:16.160
Or if the woman who took advantage of him got pregnant, which is, like, it's kind of messed up, you know?
02:52:27.180
Yeah, there's been a couple, there's definitely been a lot of cases like this where a young boy was, you know...
02:52:33.520
Yeah, I mean, I'll say this, this is something that I'm going to come off as a super simp here.
02:52:37.760
I think that when a female adult does that to a young boy, 12, 13, 14, 15, I think it should societally be just as admonished and punished equally as heavy as when it's inverse, where it's an adult man preying on a young girl.
02:52:54.840
And it's not, and it's fucked up, but it should be.
02:53:05.980
Oh, Salk says, why do you think sex is fine after marriage?
02:53:58.360
What are those giant bugs that invade like some more...
02:54:28.800
What's the most attractive job a person can have?
02:54:38.020
What's the most attractive job a person can have
02:56:53.520
If you ever take home a bunch of single dollar bills,
02:57:40.520
unattractive would be something that takes from others
02:58:13.280
So I'm not talking to like that type of stability,
02:58:15.000
but it's something that can support someone's life.
02:59:45.480
um, whether that's in the United States or abroad.
02:59:47.980
And I have to agree that the most unattractive job
03:09:28.580
and I know that there must be more for my life.
03:51:47.440
It's actually really difficult for women to look like that.
03:51:51.580
than it is for a man to look like Chris Hemsworth
03:52:03.160
For a man to look like Chris Hemsworth while playing Thor,
03:52:15.280
I need you to pull up a photo of Chris Hemsworth.
03:52:38.360
I've seen people at my gym perfectly achieving that.
03:52:52.740
I think it's so weird how you like propose all these like topics as like,
03:53:02.840
why does it have to be like harder for men or harder for women?
03:53:12.520
Your point in bringing this up was that it's harder for men to achieve what's generally deemed as attractive for men.
03:53:21.040
In the eyes of women than it is for women to achieve it.
03:53:32.180
I think like talking about how it's hard for everybody is like,
03:53:36.420
like beauty standards and what everyone goes through is important to share.
03:53:44.320
So your question is why we're having the conversation?
03:53:56.520
I don't think you need to look like Chris Hemsworth to be an attractive man.
03:54:00.060
And I don't think you need to be as thin as Gal Gadot to be an attractive woman.
03:54:04.640
that's like the absolute requisite for being attractive.
03:54:09.380
I think that they're both unrealistic extremes.
03:54:12.160
We can still have a productive conversation and talk about it without saying like women,
03:54:27.680
You mentioned the reason I'm having this conversation.
03:54:30.620
Is you brought up that there's this trope about,
03:54:55.560
And I'm here to say that it's harder to achieve the male depictions.
03:55:00.040
of beauty than it is for women to achieve the female depictions of beauty.
03:55:07.600
you're not going to get through to me that it's harder.
03:55:13.540
that physique is harder to achieve than Chris Hemsworth.
03:55:22.540
Women are held to an unrealistic standard in their face as well.
03:55:32.300
We were having a conversation specifically about body.
03:55:52.300
I've literally just laid out my argument as a man,
03:55:56.080
I think neither of us can like truly understand.
03:56:07.920
So a woman to have an attractive body or even the ideal body need not really ever step foot in a gym.
03:56:18.220
A man to have an ideal body or an attractive body need step foot in a gym,
03:56:36.740
but like a woman to have a physically attractive body need not necessarily ever step foot into a gym.
03:56:45.440
I don't think the same thing can be said about men.
03:56:50.240
A woman need not strength train to have an attractive body.
03:57:03.840
I know guys that look muscular without ever going to the gym.
03:57:16.940
you're physically exerting yourself five or six days a week and monitoring your diet.
03:57:22.060
you're eating at caloric maintenance and you're not just not,
03:57:27.920
then there's like factors of like cellulite and like saggy skin that are also pointed out.
03:57:33.660
I think that women are under a stronger microscope.
03:58:14.720
Women are much harsher judges of physical appearance than men are.
03:58:31.700
So there are women have more factors that are outside of when it comes to caring about physical appearance.
03:58:37.640
Women have more things that they care about that are just out of men's control when it comes to their physical attractiveness.
03:58:48.120
Let's talk about men who are bald, men who are balding.
03:58:56.340
Women, generally speaking, prefer men who have a full head of hair.
03:59:01.100
So you're telling me you would be okay with a woman who was bald?
03:59:07.160
I think this is going around the merry-go-round,
03:59:09.180
but I do think that we can agree that there are unrealistic standards for both men and women and that it's fed by social media and yes,
03:59:18.220
And it makes it harder for people to feel fulfilled in themselves and also to find partners and to feel fulfilled in their relationships.
03:59:25.660
Right, but I'm arguing with you because you said that women have it, have it harder.
03:59:31.500
So things that are outside of men's control that women care quite a bit about when it comes to physical appearance,
03:59:37.000
height, hair, penis size, sexual stamina, sexual function.
03:59:47.900
Men have absolutely zero control over those things.
03:59:55.160
Can you pull up the list for women that men look at?
03:59:58.340
That are out of, yeah, tell me, what are the things that are out of women's control?
04:00:15.440
But are we looking at a man going, oh, his lips are small.
04:00:20.520
Yeah, it's also more promoted for women to get plastic surgery than for men.
04:00:28.000
Let's have like a 90 minute talk about physiognomy and the face of a man.
04:00:31.820
The shape of a, the brow, and your nose, and your cheekbones, and the way your chin protrudes.
04:00:42.080
Is that like the face, like the way it's cut up?
04:00:48.860
No, can you just like, what is like, what can you define it?
04:00:51.080
Yeah, so it's a, it's a pseudoscience alleging that you can look at someone's, the shape of
04:00:55.400
their face and determine sort of the merit of their character.
04:00:59.520
Okay, like people are more likely to trust people who they consider attractive.
04:01:02.980
Yeah, or you're, or like your face is a certain way, so maybe you're more aggressive
04:01:09.800
Yeah, I've like looked into things like that, so that's good to know a name for it.
04:01:14.380
Okay, look, what I was trying to get at is there are more things out of our control
04:01:19.240
as men that are pretty big deal breakers for women than the reverse.
04:01:23.640
Like I said, height, hair, so if you're balding, and penis size.
04:01:28.180
The only thing I can really think about that is specifically gendered towards women that
04:01:32.580
they really can't control, I would say, is breast size.
04:01:37.080
So you think that if a woman was bald, that she would have an equal chance of women with
04:01:44.180
Women don't bald anywhere near the same range as men.
04:01:51.880
You can get exhausted over here, but you're saying that you said, so now I'm just using
04:02:03.800
So you're now bringing in that women can't bald into your assumption, which is just not
04:02:11.480
Women get extensions all the time to make their hair fuller and more attractive.
04:02:15.400
So what do you, so, and men can get hair transplants.
04:02:19.340
Are we not operating in reality here because, I just don't think your logic is flawed.
04:02:26.260
Okay, let me ask you, hold on, no, no, hold on.
04:02:28.720
Is it wrong to say that humans are born with 10 fingers?
04:02:36.880
No, but, but is that a wrong, generally speaking, like, is that a wrong statement to make that
04:02:45.460
Is it the case that some people have genetic abnormalities and some people are born with
04:02:51.400
It's not wrong to say, it's not wrong to say that humans are born with 10 fingers.
04:02:58.340
Because of men's biology, they're more likely to bald than women.
04:03:14.200
So if you can't use the minority to prove a point, then we do have to actually look at
04:03:18.220
the other facial features of women, like their lips and their nose.
04:03:28.740
We're speaking about gendered, strictly gendered things.
04:03:32.880
And I'm saying that women don't like men who are balding.
04:03:42.280
And other facial features, like if they have too big of a nose or too small of lips.
04:03:46.060
Women have those exact same assessments of men's faces.
04:03:50.340
It just gets so hostile and so repetitive, you know?
04:03:53.740
Because it's such a bad faith argument to say women bald too at the same rate as men.
04:04:00.120
I'm not arguing that it's at the same rate as men.
04:04:05.600
Like it's like you're trying to say that men have, are held to a higher standard than
04:04:12.480
If, I don't know what the percentage breakdown of, of if, like at what age men start losing
04:04:18.640
Why is it so hard just to like agree on that it's like difficult for everybody?
04:04:30.200
Bro, it's just so bad faith when you ask me for example.
04:04:33.700
I think it's bad faith to not bring in statistics that prove that men are under a more magnified
04:04:42.200
scope than women when it comes to their facial features and physical appearance.
04:04:47.540
We can, we can actually pull up some infographics.
04:04:51.660
Nick, if you're able to go find them, um, we can pull up the, uh, bumble height one.
04:05:03.700
They're in the Dropbox podcast infographics folder.
04:05:06.660
But these are just people seeing each other on a dating app too.
04:05:12.640
But is it meeting in person or is it when someone looks at a picture of someone on a
04:05:17.880
I'm just asking because you said the statistics are from Bumble.
04:05:25.580
So is it in person like statistic or is it when someone looks at someone on a screen?
04:05:30.420
You can, you can try to throw away all the data we have.
04:05:39.720
However, the reality is most people do actually meet online on dating apps.
04:05:45.860
I'm just asking, is this info like gathered from people meeting in person or is it gathered
04:05:51.600
from someone like not meeting someone and just looking at them on a screen?
04:05:55.200
The, the, the data I'm about to present comes from dating apps.
04:06:03.160
You know, maybe the screen is even more important because people uploading photos to a dating
04:06:06.480
app, they're uploading presumably their best photos.
04:06:09.200
So this is them in their best angle versus real life.
04:06:19.660
And then if you scroll down a bit, there's OKC new chart.
04:06:22.940
There's OKC, OKC one, OKC two, OKC message, MSG.
04:06:46.880
We've got to get out of here and just go kill Lucifron, dude.
04:06:50.700
Let's go get a binding of the, of the, of the, of the Thunderfiori.
04:06:53.260
The other thing is that women aren't just held to this standard by men.
04:06:55.400
It's by other women because we're comparing ourselves to other women and what we see online.
04:07:08.140
We'll start with the bumble height one, and then we'll just move through them as quick as we can.
04:07:15.860
Yeah, so you should have pulled up OKC new chart, OKC, OKC one, OKC two, OKC MSG, and bumble height prep.
04:07:28.400
You need to control mouse wheel up a little bit so we can see this.
04:07:35.020
So bumble filters set in advanced filters by female users by height.
04:07:46.360
So these are filters that are set in advanced by female users.
04:07:51.580
So they're saying, I only want to match with men this tall or higher.
04:07:55.600
So it starts getting, you know, 5'10", 5'11", 6 feet, more, more, more, more, more.
04:08:00.260
So this demonstrates that, you know, women do care quite a bit about height.
04:08:11.380
Well, keep in mind earlier, we learned that if you're over 6'3", you're in the top 1% of men's height.
04:08:19.540
Perception of male attractiveness versus female attractiveness, men as rated by women versus women as rated by men.
04:08:29.560
So men rate women on a pretty even distribution bell curve, whereas women are much harsher judges of physical appearance.
04:08:43.020
And I think these other ones, make sure you mouse wheel up.
04:08:54.320
So this is kind of echoing the last stat that we looked at.
04:08:58.660
So, and this was published direct from OkCupid.
04:09:04.000
So men rate women, you know, there's a pretty even distribution there, whereas women are very, very harsh judges of men.
04:09:15.860
Zero percent of men are considered most attractive.
04:09:19.120
And so this is pulled, this was released from OkCupid.
04:09:37.940
Actually, I don't know if that one's super important.
04:09:41.600
The reality is, is that women are swiping no on the vast majority of men on dating apps, especially if you look at Tinder, where it's like based off of purely physical appearance.
04:09:54.760
So, I mean, that would suggest to me that women are judging men much more harshly than men are judging women when it comes to physical appearance.
04:10:02.580
Okay, maybe that's true in dating, but I don't think that it is the overarching truth for media in general and the unrealistic standard that women are held to by, again, not just by men, but by each other and by the mainstream media and social media.
04:10:23.240
Hence, why women use more filters than men, why women get plastic surgery, why the magazines are retouching our photos to look like completely different people.
04:10:34.600
Considering how harshly women judge men, is it possible that women are engaging in those behaviors because they're also harshly judging themselves?
04:10:43.460
I feel like it's kind of human nature to feel like if you're subjected to something, then you're going to kind of return that energy with your outlook unless you're like actively working on that or like checking yourself for that.
04:11:01.240
I mean, okay, we're going to move on from this topic because we've kind of been beating a dead horse here.
04:11:07.340
I mean, again, I would just argue if you look, if you compare, for example, the leading men versus the leading women in movies, et cetera, the leading women are not on PEDs.
04:11:24.540
They're just paying thousands of dollars of plastic surgery.
04:11:28.600
Actually, I'd say most of the leading women do not have fake tits.
04:11:34.440
I mean, there's a lot of other procedures that they can.
04:11:39.900
Perhaps, but at the end of the day, if we're speaking about physique.
04:11:47.480
Have we been beating around the bush with this topic?
04:11:50.080
I'm just saying women are not taking PEDs when it comes to like their bodies.
04:11:54.780
Like it's much more achievable for women to get the leading woman body than it is for the man to get the leading man body.
04:12:16.880
Over-reliance on studies are unavoidably error prone.
04:12:25.260
Success of naturally evolved instinct greater than studies.
04:12:29.380
Reject what has enabled our survival because we wish it were different?
04:12:38.360
And some of the problems with the peer review process?
04:12:48.280
Do you think sex without the purpose of reproduction is allowed in marriage?
04:12:58.900
Well, I think that when you're a married couple, you should be open to the possibility of life.
04:13:09.100
I don't think that that always is the case that 10 out of 10 times you're going to conceive.
04:13:15.220
So obviously, it's to love one another and to get pleasure from it.
04:13:19.860
I mean, it's not just about having kids, but you should be obviously open to the possibility of life, which means no birth control or contraceptives.
04:13:33.300
We're having people from here in PA and other East Coast states on the podcast.
04:13:38.060
Blue hair is still a little stoned, but everyone is respectful in their disagreements.
04:13:42.740
Panels, thoughts on long distance dating, good or bad.
04:13:54.660
I feel like it can be good if you take the good things in it.
04:14:10.800
It was nice for me to go travel and see where they were living.
04:14:17.880
You could go either way depending on the person.
04:14:20.860
Yeah, good or bad depending on what you're willing to put in for the relationship.
04:14:27.380
I also agree that it depends on the couple and what they're looking for.
04:14:31.880
It depends on the couple, but honestly, my physical love language is being around you, spending
04:14:39.160
It's kind of hard to do that when all you get to see you is from a phone screen most of the
04:14:45.620
Yeah, you can only do so much with it and you get, it just kind of gets super hard, especially
04:14:50.640
if you don't have the money to travel, especially if they live super far, maybe even a different
04:14:57.340
I feel like, yeah, they're not sustainable long term.
04:15:00.000
I don't really have an opinion on it, to be honest.
04:15:04.220
I think it's, some couples can make it work, some others can't.
04:15:08.640
I don't think I have an opinion of whether it's good or bad.
04:15:14.120
Well, I just think like when you're so, when you're so far apart from like your significant
04:15:22.440
other, all you're thinking about is wanting to be with them, but I see how it could work
04:15:26.600
for people who are very strong minded and very much in love because you can see all like
04:15:31.800
the good within it, but I just see all the bad.
04:15:34.960
I would never agree that long distance marriage is good.
04:15:38.880
I think if you're like in the precursor and you're still dating, then maybe I don't have
04:15:43.120
an opinion necessarily on that way, but I don't think you should be in a long distance
04:15:54.940
So we're going to go around the table on that, by the way, Madison, I don't know if you have
04:16:09.780
And also if you're bald, like you can get tattoos on your head and like, I think that
04:16:36.140
I should have asked this shit before we were arguing about, about this.
04:16:39.080
Cause I feel like it's going to shift your, your, uh, answers, but go ahead.
04:16:45.960
Um, but if it was like my boyfriend or husband and he went bald, like that's okay.
04:16:51.040
Obviously I'm not going to leave him because of that.
04:17:26.100
Give him a little pad or something if you want.
04:17:44.340
I don't think that all guys can pull it off, but I think some do.
04:17:51.840
If a man wants to enjoy the company of a woman for a few hours,
04:17:56.420
If a man wants to enjoy the company of a woman for his whole life,
04:18:05.940
I've never heard that one, but that's an interesting take.
04:18:08.460
Thank you, Cloud Force Show, for the very generous donation there.
04:18:11.820
Uh, the real Mr. Meatball says, body fat is food.
04:18:17.580
It doesn't take anything more than discipline to have a good physique.
04:18:26.800
I saw a comment that was like, oh, why should I listen to these girls?
04:18:30.320
I bet none of them have touched a gym for years,
04:18:36.220
It's just like not going to the gym or, I don't know, lifting super heavy weights.
04:18:42.240
So it might look like, I feel like fitness looks so different
04:18:45.000
in terms of what fitness you're doing and your body type and genetics and stuff.
04:18:56.420
Brian, looking at the ideals is unproductive in this conversation here.
04:18:59.680
The average woman who eats an average amount of food with no exercise
04:19:04.460
The average man who eats an average amount of food with no exercise
04:19:12.440
I mean, I think I mentioned that like a woman who has never stepped foot in the gym,
04:19:18.620
like average female body, like a lot of guys are going to be like,
04:19:28.200
For example, I think the skinny body type is more men are going to find
04:19:33.020
the skinny body type attractive than women are going to find
04:19:38.580
In any case, we went around, we beat that horse to death.
04:19:41.900
But Bugomus, thank you very much for the TTS there.
04:20:07.120
I've been to war, jumped out of planes, took care of my GMA grandma
04:20:10.280
in her last year, through, hiked the AT, Appalachian Trail, I believe.
04:20:16.940
I have had one girlfriend, not a single one of you would give me
04:20:21.600
Personality argument is for good looking people.
04:20:26.680
Well, just listen, Jay Dock, you need to stop being ugly.
04:20:33.700
And also, all of those things don't mean that I'd want to date you.
04:20:38.940
I feel like you're just selling yourself short by already saying that
04:20:45.140
What if that's, you're supposed to sell yourself, and that's not.
04:21:07.680
Step two, don't be unattractive, I think, is what everybody was getting at.
04:21:12.080
I will say, I think most people, like, just by nature of not being fat or obese,
04:21:19.380
And then if you build muscle, it goes up from there.
04:21:32.840
Even though I did suffer that stroke from blue hair, girl, everyone has had interesting
04:21:49.560
Oh, are you asking because he's got that co-op?
04:22:25.180
Brandon, you're a fucking giga-chad fucking legend.
04:22:42.760
You could technically mute a microphone for ten minutes
04:23:03.420
It makes men have a way easier time losing weight,
04:23:05.180
so I think men have an easier time losing and keeping off fat.
04:23:27.700
We're definitely going to skip over the Jonah Hill stuff
04:23:45.600
There's a couple gentlemen who I'm acquainted with
04:23:54.320
set these guys up with perhaps one of the lovely ladies
04:24:00.440
and you're going to tell me, would you date them,
04:24:02.360
or would you not, smash or pass, whatever you want to...
04:24:12.440
Just make sure that you've scrolled down a little bit
04:25:30.860
Um, even though I love his axes, I would say pass.
04:26:08.780
But that's just a different situation than what I'm in right now.
04:26:18.540
Uh, okay, so the bald head good, but maybe he's a bit too old.
04:26:28.820
So, like, he was in middle school when I was born.
04:26:33.920
Um, what about you, assuming, you know, assuming you were single?
04:26:38.300
Let's, let's, for all of these, let's assume you were single or whatever.
04:26:41.600
I was going to say I only have eyes for my partner.
04:27:09.020
Uh, so this is Zach, otherwise known as Asmongold.
04:27:17.300
He's super successful, very popular Twitch streamer.
04:27:21.660
One of the most popular streamers on the platform.
04:27:25.000
Uh, probably makes millions, millions of dollars a month.
04:27:35.160
And, uh, one of the most popular Twitch streamers.
04:28:07.300
You can rate me, but my Insta was banned, so I don't really have any pics.
04:28:15.060
Let me see if, is this the same Brandon that I'm messaging with on Instagram?
04:28:19.340
Because I don't know if I've got, like, different, is this, hold on.
04:28:28.840
Uh, so is he, does he live next to me or what is that?
04:28:33.240
Oh, well, that's, like, probably, like, 25 minutes from where my hometown is, because
04:28:46.860
But, like, how old are you is my real question.
04:28:55.280
I mean, technically, I've never been really, like, tied down.
04:29:05.180
You said, you said the cash is not the only thing.
04:29:09.520
You don't know anything about him other than he lives.
04:29:37.260
I mean, Asmongold is 31, and he's a millionaire many, many times over.
04:29:49.920
No offense to any people that love their cousins, but I'm not one of them.
04:29:58.100
We need to get Destiny back on here for the incest debate.
04:30:05.580
And I, oh my God, I'm going to get, this is just like me playing devil's advocate.
04:30:08.820
Let's assume that neither person in the relationship wanted to have kids and hold on.
04:30:18.820
I'm actually going to fucking take the incest, the pro incest position.
04:30:50.440
And people are like, do you have a source for why that's gross?
04:31:08.480
Like, if you have kids, the birth defects, okay?
04:31:17.660
Is there a theory that everyone looks for their parents?
04:31:41.400
What's so wrong about a little, assuming there's no kid, like you can't have kids.
04:31:50.360
I'm not actually like on the fucking pro incest train.
04:31:53.300
Yeah, well, if you're going to devil's advocate, then I'm going to add home.
04:31:55.420
Do I need to let your sister know something weird is going on here?
04:32:02.820
We were talking about Zach, so okay, but Brandon, hey, Brandon, I'm looking at, Brandon, do
04:32:43.900
I used to get roasted because I was not a car name.
04:33:21.340
Thank you for the gifted 20 subs on twitch.tv slash whatever.
04:33:24.580
This is actually a good time to pull up our Twitch really quick.
04:33:56.200
Can you look up right now on your phone like incoming orders?
04:34:00.180
If somebody buys a pack of power gum within the next...
04:34:12.980
We'll do a World of Warcraft dance of your choosing.
04:34:44.340
No, I'm getting you linked up, you know, because it seems like you're...
04:34:47.240
You're giving him my like socials or you're like...
04:34:52.240
I'm giving him your social security number, your birth date, like all that shit.
04:34:56.840
I just want to make sure he can steal my identity.
04:35:01.420
So he steals your identity, not for romantic reasons.
04:35:06.540
Let's do the next Instagram guy that you guys are going to, you know, pick.
04:35:23.740
Now Chance, close friend of mine, you know, we're tight.
04:35:59.560
Dude, thank you so much for all your patronage on Twitch.
04:36:02.680
I would point out, though, what does Twitch take?
04:36:10.980
I'm just saying, you know, YouTube memberships, they only...
04:36:22.460
Well, we saw the photo, so we'll go around the table, actually.
04:37:03.660
I think I find myself going for alternative people, people who look like me.
04:37:20.240
Do you have a racial preference when it comes to dating?
04:37:26.900
Because you've mentioned like white colonialism a couple times, so I'm curious if...
04:37:36.140
I might have a hard time dating a white person because of a cultural disconnect.
04:37:53.840
This is not on purpose, but I've only dated Hispanic men.
04:37:59.280
And you said you're from the Philippines, right?
04:38:19.540
Like, if you're also a member of that race, are you...
04:38:28.960
My hometown has a lot of Hispanic people, and I'm just like, steer away now, because they
04:38:53.100
Yeah, there's a guy who's just crushing it in Santa Barbara.
04:39:11.000
Did you want to continue having a back-and-forth with her on...
04:39:25.140
Um, well, honestly, I think, um, it's because, you know...
04:39:42.220
But it's also because being Asian growing up in the Philippines, like, when I was growing
04:39:51.180
So I guess, like, it's Asian beauty standards, you know, um, colorism is a big thing in Asian
04:39:57.020
countries and, like, you know, on top of everything white people did to, you know, the world.
04:40:12.400
I mean, it's not technically white people's fault.
04:40:14.560
I mean, like, Asian people, like, impose those beauty standards on our own people.
04:41:02.660
Also, can we get a W in the chat for how hard Brian works for us?
04:41:15.840
Really appreciate all your patronage and support.
04:41:22.340
And once we get through this, we will bring up the...
04:41:32.580
Actually, for the rest of the show, you can look nowhere else but me.
04:41:36.540
Okay, so I just have to make direct eye contact.
04:41:41.340
Just look at me like right here so I feel uncomfortable.
04:41:46.000
If you look at someone like right there, it's like kind of a dick move.
04:41:49.580
Because it's like, they're like, whoa, they're not looking at me in the eyes but they're like...
04:42:09.200
Do you want like a scary gaze or just like a...
04:42:58.900
Do enough to show I need something to listen to while I work.
04:43:14.980
I don't think anyone's been this much of a fucking legend, Giga Chad.
04:43:24.020
Let me fucking, I've never done this, but it warrants.
04:43:30.840
Thank you very much for the 20 gifted memberships.
04:43:44.360
Um, I'm going to get something while I get something very special.
04:44:09.160
He's very, very good at Druid and one of the best arguably.
04:44:15.060
They're probably like just with Zach millionaire many times over.
04:44:25.420
No, you have to look at, you have to just another question.
04:44:39.120
It might have to be, it might have to be a smash.
04:44:54.160
A bunch of gym bros and me just playing D and D.
04:44:59.860
I didn't, never thought I would be a D and D person.
04:45:02.680
Well, you just like roll the dice virtually, but like, um, our game master has like all
04:45:06.300
the photos and everything and like literally uploads it almost like a, like a screen.
04:45:31.540
Uh, we'll have the girls, you know, if you want to, Matt, you got this.
04:45:55.420
I think he's like six foot one or six foot two.
04:46:15.140
Also, like, I feel like he's interested in like anime because I've seen him like dressed up.
04:46:53.120
I mean, I think out of, you know, the three guys we've been shown, I think he's the one
04:47:00.600
who I'd most likely go out with, like, but it would still be a pass for me.
04:47:09.040
I would say pass, but he looks like we could be friends.
04:47:19.440
So this is separate from the thing I'm going to do with Brandon.
04:47:22.940
If anybody buys, if we get one more person to buy a power gun, Matt told me that he would
04:47:36.140
So, Matt, you will have to change into one of those three Japanese.
04:47:40.800
There's a Sailor Moon costume and a schoolgirl.
04:47:43.540
Listen, if you're tuning in, please do not purchase power gum.
04:47:52.680
This is, I never drink, but this is an auspicious occasion.
04:47:56.180
So I think we should bust out a little celebratory.
04:48:25.840
Who, with the exception of you two, I believe you're not of age, but who here would like some
04:49:42.940
It's going to literally hit that, so maybe aim away from it.
04:51:31.680
All right, this is dedicated to our patron, Brandon, who, so, this should actually be a
04:51:38.720
trigger from someone, so, okay, do I just not know how to pour?
04:51:56.900
Okay, if you guys want to pass those down to the alcoholics over there on that side
04:52:09.260
Cheers to our comrade, Mr. Brandon Mills, for his generosity in this hour of need.
04:52:25.440
Some people bought power guns, so you have to do.
04:52:35.460
You, actually, you signed a contract before the start of the show.
04:52:38.340
You are legally, legally bound to put on a schoolgirl outfit.
04:52:43.760
Listen, well, Justin, Justin W. bought power gum.
04:52:50.280
We have, we have Craig, oh, Craig is one of my viewers.
04:53:12.620
And this is a product I've been selling now for around two years.
04:53:16.620
And I made it because all the other caffeine products suck.
04:53:19.900
I got sick of all the caffeine pills and the caffeine powders and the canned energy stuff.
04:53:28.460
I'll say the big, the best thing about power gum is it's like a very nice, clean burn.
04:53:32.240
It doesn't have that big spike and then the crash on the back.
04:53:38.160
Let's get these final few and then we're going to wrap up.
04:54:08.540
So like in classic, it's like kind of poverty DPS.
04:54:10.780
But he is like top in terms of paladin players.
04:54:16.980
But it's like, he's kind of gimped himself by playing like, you know, kind of subpar class.
04:54:41.300
I have a feeling like our girl over here, Ria, might be interested in this guy.
04:55:41.020
So I don't know if that might be a con for some of you.
04:55:47.860
Um, and pull up, pull up that photo with the, uh, Thunderfury.
04:55:55.340
So I was just curious, like, you know, give it, he, he, so he's had two rogues in classic
04:55:59.940
who've had Thunderfury, which is like pretty good for a rogue, right?
04:56:29.960
How come you told her she was, you're gonna hook her up with Brandon, but you didn't tell
04:57:03.820
This is not, uh, Zaryu's, what's his first name?
04:57:12.040
Oh, um, I, I think that was just like, uh, like, that was like for a photo shoot.
04:57:34.160
Um, so given the photos, let's assume he's single, right?
04:57:44.800
And he made it to, um, he made it to like 60 on his mage in hardcore.
04:57:54.700
It's so funny you're telling us all these like World of Warcraft statistics like it matters
04:58:03.220
We're all like, yeah, like we don't know what that means.
04:58:29.100
But the fact that you're married didn't come up for her.
04:58:47.560
We were, we're, us in the gamer community, we refer to each other with our gamer tags.
04:59:06.200
But that's so much harder to write out when you're, like, texting.
04:59:26.960
Oh, he's normally a Red Paladin, but also a rogue player.
05:00:14.900
We're not doing that because you're married and stuff.
05:00:40.460
And someone will say, but maybe two was that sick that day.
05:01:05.300
Keep in mind, we've only been living together for about two days.
05:01:30.660
Instead of measuring, I have a little scale on it.
05:01:34.280
Well, like, sometimes the cups aren't, like, measure, right?
05:01:38.600
So, like, it could be, like, 35 grams or 33 grams in it.
05:01:41.600
I want to see how many, like, protein is going to be valid.
05:01:57.740
I just said, our red flags are, like, red flags about us.
05:02:01.220
Yeah, let's start with you, and we'll move that way.
05:02:05.480
Yeah, we'll start with you, and then move that way.
05:02:12.660
I think in my past relationships, well, red flag, like, in the initial, like, dating stage
05:02:19.600
or when you're in a relationship, like, things that people have said.
05:02:26.940
I think I have a tendency to be a fixer, and I've definitely had to work on that.
05:02:31.460
I have to, I had to realize that, you know, just because I see potential or I see, like,
05:02:37.680
a good game plan doesn't mean that I need to, like, get everybody in line with that.
05:02:42.640
So, I've worked on not fixing everybody that I encounter.
05:02:47.500
Is that, is that a red, is that a red flag, though?
05:02:54.920
Yeah, but it's like, that's, I mean, probably some, wouldn't a partner view that as a good
05:03:09.260
I've actually never been said that I've been a nag, a nagger, but.
05:03:14.400
Like, if encouraging them to, or trying to get them to do something that they don't want
05:03:25.160
It's like in a, like, you should do this, but they don't want to do it.
05:03:31.720
It's just, like, maybe I'm, like, I see sometimes, like, potential for them that they don't see,
05:03:37.340
so then they view it as maybe being, like, critical or something like that.
05:03:47.000
Here, how about you reveal, what are your own red flags?
05:03:50.540
Oh, probably, like, the amount of caffeine I drink.
05:03:55.380
I mean, okay, I had to cut back, but it used to be about 1,000 milligrams a day.
05:04:03.400
Each piece here, 50 milligrams, it's going to totally replace all that other stuff.
05:04:09.300
But, like, literally, I would, you know, wake up, I'd go to work, drink coffee, little cup of coffee.
05:04:14.500
Then I'd have, do you know those, like, energy drinks?
05:04:23.080
I'd drink, like, two of those throughout work, you know, go home, go to the gym, double scoop my pre, you know, and then, yeah.
05:04:33.740
Yeah, but, like, in the context of a relationship, like, I'm not.
05:04:40.220
Well, not only that, I just mean, like, that's probably bad for me.
05:04:43.220
That's the only, what are the red flags I can point out?
05:04:43.980
That's not, that's not, like, a red flag, like, a red flag in the context of, like, a romantic relationship, like.
05:04:49.780
What, what would be considered a red flag, then?
05:05:12.820
But, I don't know, what's a, what's a red flag?
05:05:17.100
When I'm, when I'm like, when I'm irritated, I get kind of, like, dismissive and short, and
05:05:23.300
If I'm, if I'm tired and hungry and irritated, I get cranky and I'm, like, eh, okay?
05:06:04.860
Um, I'd say for me, my red flag is that I schedule like everything in my life.
05:06:13.580
I know, but like in my own relationship, like it's made me very like strict.
05:06:33.160
Is that like, is that the degree of planning that you do?
05:06:40.420
Actually, I'd love that if a girl was like, okay, Brian, there's going to be 10 minutes
05:06:44.640
Like if we have a day, I'll plan like everything.
05:06:46.780
At 10, 10, we're going to do 10 minutes of foreplay.
05:06:49.140
Then we're going to do, I don't know if I, that, that's, that's a little too assertive
05:06:53.080
Um, and then at 10, 20, there's going to be insertion.
05:06:59.740
Do you, do you want a Dommie mommy is what they say?
05:07:11.520
If you're incredibly submissive, you can just on up.
05:07:14.580
If you're just a submissive man, you can accept that.
05:07:18.200
I do like when, when like there can be like a little, I like when.
05:07:37.280
Like for example, you could be some, like a girl could be submissive and be like, ask you
05:07:41.940
permission to do something in a submissive way.
05:07:49.840
Her asking that question is initiating and that's what you want.
05:07:57.780
We were talking about your red flags, which apparently is not.
05:08:00.140
I was going to say, I was going to elaborate more.
05:08:03.820
No, but it means that when he's late or he's running late or he cancels on me, I get really
05:08:18.000
Because I think it's rude to be late, to cancel plans, to be flaky.
05:08:22.520
I think a lot of people are way too comfortable, especially with cell phones now to just like
05:08:26.540
out of whim, either cancel plans or people like are very blase about being late, but
05:08:33.500
For example, if someone's like 30 minutes late to a first date, I think that's a really
05:08:39.100
Even worse, if someone's like 10 minutes late and they apologize, then it's no big
05:08:46.440
But if they're super late or they're somewhat late, but they don't give you at least a token
05:08:50.720
apology, and they're like, I think that's a bad look.
05:08:55.240
Well, I think at 30 minutes, it's like deliberate at that point.
05:09:03.420
You think they're trying to make a power play is what they're trying to do.
05:09:06.040
That's at the beginning of the relationship, because now I'm like two years in, so it's
05:09:11.260
I just try to be more understanding if things come out.
05:09:13.500
Well, I think they're like some people temperamentally are like less like, and I think it's also
05:09:19.340
Like in certain countries, it's kind of like a little bit, oh, if someone says show up
05:09:25.160
at a certain time, I don't know, I think they've said this about like Italy and Spain, it's
05:09:32.160
It's just like being late isn't a big deal, but like in Germany, you're like, it's like
05:09:39.280
And at least me personally, I think it's really rude like to be late.
05:09:42.240
Yeah, because usually I'm like ready like 15 minutes before.
05:09:48.020
So if we're in the U.S., I say, hey, see you tomorrow.
05:09:51.940
In the U.S., it's like, well, we might not ever see each other again.
05:09:54.220
In Germany, if you say, hey, see you later, they'll say, when?
05:10:06.080
I am an extremely picky eater, so it's really hard to eat out with me.
05:10:13.820
Yeah, because I just, I want what I want, and so.
05:10:19.220
And are you also indecisive where you want to eat?
05:10:23.000
So you're super picky, so a guy might be like, and you're indecisive too, so a guy
05:10:27.680
might say, okay, well, let's go get this, and then you're like, no, no, no, I don't
05:10:38.900
I would say I'm an overthinker, which also makes me indecisive as well.
05:10:45.560
So, like, the guy doesn't text you back after five minutes, and you're like, he's definitely
05:10:53.160
I feel like I definitely used to be like that, but I think I've chilled out a little bit.
05:11:00.720
I think I can be, like, really stubborn to the point where I'm bratty.
05:11:16.560
Well, my mom is, like, really into other cultures to the point where sometimes she, like, dresses.
05:11:35.240
Just because she's wearing different clothes, or...?
05:11:42.400
She kind of has to, like, bring in other cultures to every conversation, like, the food she eats.
05:11:52.380
Also, she's just, like, generally, in general, a character.
05:12:00.520
He wears, like, crazy tie-dye shirts, and he lives in this, like, casino in Vegas.
05:12:12.420
Well, I met him when I was 21, but ever since then, he's always got, like, a different business card for some weird project he's working on.
05:12:22.240
One time he was in, like, the UFO discovery business.
05:12:27.800
It's kind of a lot, but I got a pretty interesting family.
05:12:32.000
I don't know if it's a red flag, but it's certainly worth noting.
05:12:36.080
So, if we're dating, one day I meet your mom, she might be Jamaican.
05:12:40.800
No, it's, like, it's, like, she has, like, she likes, like, Middle East stuff, and she's also gotten really into, like, we're Jewish, so she's also gotten really, really into that culture over time, but...
05:12:55.280
I mean, I try and, you know, understand her, but my family is in Ohio, too, which might be another red flag.
05:13:16.600
Okay, before we wrap up here, does anyone have any final thoughts before we wrap up?
05:13:28.400
It's pretty late, unless we could do, like, 10 minutes.
05:13:38.840
I just want to encourage everyone watching now and everyone who listens to this podcast and everyone on the podcast,
05:13:49.560
And when it comes to relationships and dating, I really want to encourage people to seek out love and fidelity
05:13:56.260
and to not be afraid to sacrifice and to love wholeheartedly.
05:14:01.480
And I think you'll find that you're more fulfilled and happier when you do that.
05:14:09.080
Also, if you're interested in anything I spoke about at the beginning, my nonprofit organization is For the Martyrs.
05:14:14.800
And, again, we are raising awareness about the crisis of Christian persecution.
05:14:19.300
Over 360 million Christians around the world are facing death, imprisonment, loss of their businesses, torture,
05:14:27.160
and even death of their family members solely because of their faith.
05:14:30.720
So if you're interested in learning more about Christian persecution or just understanding these statistics,
05:14:47.320
you can follow us on Instagram at March for the Martyrs or go to our website, forthemartyrs.com.
05:14:58.380
I'll just say thank you to everyone for sharing their perspectives and equally hearing out mine.
05:15:12.700
So I feel like you came here – well, I'm not trying to, like, paint you in a certain way.
05:15:18.380
But is there anything that I've said that you disagree with, like, in previous shows that you wanted to, like, debate me on?
05:15:26.220
Because, you know, you said you're a feminist, liberal, whatever.
05:15:30.020
And so I was curious if, like, you had any, you know, you were like, okay, I'm going to show this guy.
05:15:37.120
No, but I actually – I think – I haven't seen too many of the podcast episodes, actually.
05:15:43.260
I just found out about it two days ago from my ex.
05:15:50.780
You're like, how dare you watch this fucking –
05:16:08.380
It's not something I wanted to talk about, but it's something that I definitely remembered.
05:16:35.460
It actually got rebunked, and then it got debunked again.
05:16:50.300
If the wage gap is not real, then why did he make $100 and these women just made zero?
05:16:57.120
Do you think when those statistics were put out intentionally?
05:17:02.000
Like when they made those wage gap statistics that you said are debunked, since they're debunked,
05:17:07.000
do you think they were put out intentionally wrong, or it was like a mistake that made them
05:17:13.380
From what – I mean, Brian, do you want to answer first?
05:17:15.500
Like what – the question is, is it mislead – what?
05:17:19.420
Like, so people believe that there's a wage gap based on these statistics, but you said
05:17:26.180
So do you think those statistics were intentionally put out wrong, or it was just somehow a mistake?
05:17:32.640
Well, I mean, the wage gap essentially is – it's a very misleading number because the
05:17:39.720
– I mean, you hear different numbers, but you hear, for example, women make $0.79 on the
05:17:45.980
Women make $0.83 on the dollar as compared to men.
05:17:49.720
However, that's not how you do any sort of statistical analysis.
05:17:55.080
So what the wage gap does is, you know, there's multivaried analysis of – it's a very – the
05:18:04.660
You cannot just simply – and this is what the wage gap is.
05:18:07.520
It looks at all the money that women make in this country, and you compare it to all the
05:18:15.440
I think we can all agree that's a fairly oversimplified way to look at differences between the genders.
05:18:24.160
Aggregate wages don't compare same pay for same work, and when you compare differences
05:18:28.860
in wages for same work, it's usually less hours worked.
05:18:32.300
Yeah, so the wage gap that's often cited – again, let's say it's $0.79 to the dollar compared
05:18:39.860
to men – that's taking all the money that women make, comparing it to all the money that
05:18:45.480
You're not accounting for type of job, type of educational achievement that they've had
05:18:53.680
You're not looking at hazard pay, which men typically are more likely to receive hazard pay.
05:18:59.540
It's not looking at – did I already say hours worked?
05:19:09.000
It's really not looking at anything besides really, really basic numbers.
05:19:13.500
So you think it was wrong because it was just done incorrectly?
05:19:18.120
There wasn't, like, some sort of reason for it being like that?
05:19:23.620
I think it's pushing some sort of equity agenda versus some sort of equality, like opportunity
05:19:33.100
I think it's pushing some sort of agenda there.
05:19:35.260
I was just, like, curious as to, like, why it's such a commonly believed thing and, like,
05:19:40.580
who put it out when you're saying it's, like, oh.
05:19:43.160
Well, I think it fits the narrative that men bad.
05:19:45.640
Like, I was just wondering if there was, like, yeah, like, more reason for it or it was just,
05:19:51.280
Also, men are more willing to work overnight shifts, which generally pay higher.
05:19:55.720
Also, women generally, not all women, but a lot of women will take two or three years
05:19:59.120
off of their career and they'll have a child and then maybe they'll get into their career
05:20:02.860
So there just was, like, a lot of factors that weren't included in that.
05:20:08.900
The question you need to ask yourself is not whether it exists.
05:20:12.520
And by the way, so there's no pay gap or wage gap.
05:20:17.100
But the question you need to ask yourself is not whether it exists, but why it exists.
05:20:27.520
One of the big ones I forgot to mention, aside from hours worked and career field, you know,
05:20:32.860
you look at college, which actually the majority, we don't look at the gap in college where it's,
05:20:37.660
like, 60% women who are going to college getting degrees ever since 1979.
05:20:42.800
There's been more women who are going to college than men.
05:20:47.380
As soon as it's inequality when men are advantaged, but once women are advantaged in some paradigm,
05:20:53.940
all of a sudden it's, well, now you've had equality even though it's not.
05:20:58.800
You're not looking, you're not taking into account when it comes to the earnings gap,
05:21:04.440
So women make certain choices that lend to the supposed wage gap or what is in actuality
05:21:14.980
For example, if you look at the top 10 paying fields of study in university, men predominate
05:21:21.340
in the top 10, I don't know if it's, it's either the top 5 or top 10 majors, whereas women
05:21:27.900
predominate in the lowest paying majors or disciplines in universities.
05:21:32.900
So, but it doesn't take into account, you know, different hours worked by men, different
05:21:43.780
We can talk about the, you know, more likely to die on the job gap.
05:21:55.940
Um, you know, you can, you can make the argument that should a job where you're likely to die
05:22:03.160
Well, it happens to be the case that there are more men in jobs where you're likely to
05:22:09.840
You're more, for example, let's, we can talk about the more likely to be electrocuted to
05:22:15.020
death gap, the more likely to be crushed to death gap, the more likely to fall to their
05:22:19.560
death gap, more likely to be injured on the job gap.
05:22:21.900
Like, well, these, this is all predominated by men, but we don't really talk about that.
05:22:32.580
Did, I, I kind of rambled there, but I don't know if you ever wanted to have a back and forth
05:22:39.400
I feel like I need to do more research before I speak on the topic.
05:22:49.040
I think that's a, that's a good opinion to have.
05:22:52.260
Yeah, that's totally, totally fair thing to say.
05:23:03.500
Let me just double check, make sure we're not missing any chats.
05:23:11.480
Just, oh, really quick on this whole, like kind of some of the feminist stuff.
05:23:14.660
Who here considers themselves to be a feminist?
05:23:30.220
Like women advocating for women or like just like...
05:23:36.440
Can you like, I'm like, I'm curious to know what like the definition of a feminist is.
05:23:43.920
Because I feel like a lot of it has like extreme connotations, but I don't know if that's like
05:23:54.200
You probably shouldn't ask me what my definition of it is, but everybody is.
05:23:57.020
No, I just want to know like the definition, not yours.
05:23:59.560
Well, I mean, you can ask 10 feminists and they would all give you different definitions.
05:24:03.420
Well, I just want to know like the official one.
05:24:14.880
Feminists purport that they fight for equality.
05:24:21.120
See, that's why I was reluctant because I feel like the like definition of feminism to
05:24:28.920
Yeah, no, I think it's a fair assessment, right?
05:24:31.740
So feminism 70 years ago meant something different than feminism means today.
05:24:36.000
Yeah, like I feel like now it has like extreme connotations and like woe connotations, but
05:24:41.260
like to some people it might not mean that, so...
05:24:46.080
Yeah, I mean, so just in the last two or three years, the word feminism has changed in some
05:24:49.700
ways that we probably shouldn't get into in the podcast.
05:24:51.800
That's why I'm like, what is like the clear definition...
05:24:54.160
No, I mean, like, you know, feminism 70, 80 years ago was talking about giving women the
05:24:58.360
right to vote and own property and get bank loans and things like this, and now feminism
05:25:01.800
these days has shifted from equality of opportunity to equality of outcome.
05:25:06.000
Which is not exactly super desirable, it's sort of, it's not even possible, right?
05:25:11.880
For reasons we just talked about with Brian and the wage gap, and feminism is starting
05:25:16.560
Yeah, I feel like even the meaning of the word feminism can be like taken in many different
05:25:21.540
Well, you're also seeing right now sort of a civil war within feminism itself, where
05:25:24.860
you have feminists that are accepting of trans women, and then feminists that are not.
05:25:33.220
And so there is sort of the feminist civil war, so I don't know.
05:25:37.080
I feel like there's a war between the two genders, and then there's a war within the genders
05:25:42.840
Yeah, well, men and women should have equal rights and equal protection under the law.
05:25:48.800
Men and women absolutely have equal dignity, but men and women are not the same.
05:25:52.720
And I think today's feminist movement, and maybe even the beginning of, or at some point
05:25:59.420
the feminist movement transformed from advocating for equal rights and equal protection, to now
05:26:04.920
saying that not only are men and women supposedly the same, which they're not, that somehow men
05:26:12.580
And that's what I think a lot of the narrative is coming out of today's feminist movement.
05:26:22.100
If anything, I want to try and, like, understand them more and, like, coexist with men more.
05:26:27.280
But I do believe, like, women should be treated equally with respect, so if that makes me
05:26:35.340
Men and women are different, but they have, they should have equal rights, equal protection,
05:26:43.140
Okay, so you're, you consider yourself to be a feminist, correct?
05:26:46.380
So, since you consider, you have a sense of what that means, what, just really quick,
05:26:50.660
what's your, like, sense of what being a feminist is, or what is feminism?
05:26:54.280
You know, Gia, I feel like, worded it perfectly.
05:26:57.480
We actually had a conversation about this before we went in, and I feel like she said it perfectly.
05:27:04.020
That men and women are different, but they're both necessary and should be respected with
05:27:12.400
Well, what do you, what did you think it was going to be?
05:27:17.360
I think a lot of people will claim that's what it is, but, um, I don't really think feminists
05:27:31.200
Yeah, and I mean, even historically, but, uh, to some degree, but I don't think feminism
05:27:38.160
We have something called egalitarianism, which I think is a much more, uh, appropriate term
05:27:46.380
Uh, I mean, feminism, in my estimation, is, in the most charitable sense, is women's advocacy.
05:27:56.340
However, that's not the same as equality, or someone who fights for equality, because you,
05:28:02.560
you wouldn't, for example, find feminists, uh, try, if there was something where men were,
05:28:11.240
uh, either discriminated against, or where men had some sort of detriment in society, feminists
05:28:20.180
And, in fact, if, if equality would, were to come in some conceivable way, at the detriment
05:28:29.700
of women, feminists would fight against said equality to secure the preferential treatment
05:28:40.720
Right now, men are the exclusive, um, only men in the United States are subject to military
05:28:48.700
conscription, forced military conscription, women are exempt, you're never, like, feminists
05:28:55.360
will fight tooth and nail to prevent women from also being subject to the draft, even though
05:29:04.500
Now, I don't, I don't think military conscription is a desirable thing, but let's be honest,
05:29:09.420
we cannot, it's, we're not going to be able to get rid of the draft for, I mean, there's,
05:29:13.840
there's geopolitical reasons why you cannot get rid of a draft.
05:29:22.980
Yeah, and so, and so, yeah, so you don't see women advocating for, hey, we want to be a
05:29:28.140
That's not a talking point of modern feminists.
05:29:31.040
You don't see modern feminists, uh, pushing back against 64% of, um, male infants getting
05:29:38.360
No one, no one's, no, no feminist is talking about that, right?
05:29:42.420
Well, I think a really good example is in Florida, there was, uh, a bill that was proposed
05:29:48.140
to, uh, I think default, it would be split custody in the case of if there was a divorce
05:29:54.420
or, you know, the parents were having a custody to dispute, uh, the bill was proposed to create
05:30:00.340
equality, whereas both men and women could have, like, guaranteed split custody, and it would
05:30:08.340
And a bunch of women's organizations, feminist organizations, actually fought against, fought
05:30:15.620
I don't know the specific, uh, details of the bill.
05:30:18.820
But one of the biggest, I think now, NOW, which is a major feminist women's organization,
05:30:24.820
uh, they, uh, they fought against the bill, and I think the, the governor at the time,
05:30:29.880
I forgot who it was, uh, ended up vetoing, uh, the bill, so it didn't get passed.
05:30:35.260
So, I mean, feminists will fight against equality if said equality comes conceivably at the detriment
05:30:45.140
Okay. So, uh, I guess a lot of feminist organizations are against assumed shared, uh, custody of,
05:30:52.420
of children. Um, and it's not, I think, I don't know what the breakdown is by the various
05:30:56.900
states in this country, but I definitely know that, uh, typically women are going to be,
05:31:01.660
uh, if there's a custody dispute, more likely the, the family court system, there's a bias
05:31:05.760
there. The women are more likely to be awarded, uh, majority custody or full custody.
05:31:15.140
Well, perhaps that's one way California has it good. I'm not sure. I'd have to look up,
05:31:19.220
up the, uh, state-specific, uh, details when it comes to custody of children. Um, I have one,
05:31:24.860
one question for you, though. So, uh, feminist, um, do you believe that women are oppressed?
05:31:32.580
Well, I believe that men have more privilege than women.
05:31:37.580
You have, you believe men have more privilege than women. Okay.
05:31:44.720
Um, sorry. Um, I feel like, sorry, let me gather my thoughts. I'm feeling very sleepy.
05:31:56.320
Yeah, that would be great, actually, so I could come back with more research.
05:32:14.140
Tell you what, we'll save it for next time. How's that sound?
05:32:22.960
Well, we can save it for next time. How's that sound?
05:32:25.200
Okay, but I want to prepare and research, and I forgot the question.
05:32:27.500
Oh, I was just asking, so I was like, well, you're feminist, like, do you think that, that women are oppressed?
05:32:34.940
What, what is male privilege, I guess, is part of the question.
05:32:42.020
Many ways. I'm so sorry, I'm really blanking out right now.
05:32:50.960
It's very late. Okay, I think that's, let me just double check. Okay, we're good. Okay, uh, um, before we wrap, any last, last thoughts before I wrap up?
05:33:07.040
Is that some, no, that's some big red flags right there.
05:33:14.980
Dude, more white people get divorced than are left-handed people.
05:33:25.240
Yeah, I think, uh, honestly, we can talk about, like, you know, racial privilege, gender privilege, but, like, handed privilege?
05:33:38.040
I should get reparations from all you right-handed people.
05:33:41.340
They said that the scissors don't fit your guys' hands.
05:33:54.100
Wait, are men more likely to be left-handed than women?
05:34:00.380
I don't know if I've ever met a girl that was left-handed.
05:34:03.680
I don't think I've ever met a place in my brain where I'm like, that might be true.
05:34:08.140
Yo, here's what, listen, is anyone here in favor of reparations?
05:34:18.060
I want you guys to get your purses right now and give us money for what you guys have
05:34:24.680
Historically, we are historically oppressed as left-handed people.
05:34:37.160
Oh, the desk, the little thing, the little nub?
05:34:48.780
Your arm is like on the arm resty thing back here?
05:34:56.980
You know, back in the day, the teachers used to beat it out of the kids.
05:34:59.920
If you were a kid and you were inclined to write with your left hand, they'd walk around
05:35:06.580
I want all of you to go get your purses and you need to pay us, me and Matt here, for
05:35:15.560
the discrimination that we have faced throughout history, throughout our lives.
05:35:24.040
Dude, you're lucky if I have 20 bucks in my purse.
05:35:43.720
I'm telling you, if you are sick of all these other trash energy supplements, power gum,
05:36:24.840
Wait, okay, while you guys are chewing, body count.
05:37:05.600
You could have been anywhere in the world, but you're here with me.
05:37:08.720
Thank you to everyone who super chats, donates, and supports the show.
05:37:12.600
Anyone want to stick around for the after show or are you guys all poofed?
05:37:24.060
Thank you to everyone who super chats, donates, and supports the show.
05:37:31.460
I need to figure out how to end these shows sooner.
05:37:33.720
So, thank you guys for your patience while we went super late here.
05:37:44.780
Actually, we might do a show with Adam22 from No Jumper.
05:37:48.820
He's been kind of in the news recently because of some things with his wife.
05:38:03.040
So, we might do an off show, off day show on Friday.
05:38:06.120
If not, we will be back Sunday at 7 p.m. Pacific.
05:38:12.060
There is one super chat that just came in really quick.
05:38:16.380
Men Build, Women Occupy from Francisco Sanchez Jr.
05:38:23.380
Thank you for triggering the ladies on your way out.
05:39:07.820
I know, like, how are we all going to drive after this?
05:39:23.960
21st week, something Tuesday, something Tuesday.
05:39:37.820
Does it usually go through your body after spending, even though it's running on a mission?
05:39:58.100
Do you manufacture or do you use a contract manufacturer?
05:40:05.600
Does anybody want to stick around for five minutes for the after show?
05:40:08.660
I know you two are dying to stick around for the after show.
05:40:12.760
That's when all the, that's when all the, that's when all the.
05:40:18.320
We just, we basically just, like, pick it for, like, ten minutes after.
05:40:21.720
We're not, like, arguing, we're just talking to the chat.
05:40:29.080
If any of you have to, like, well, you guys are open on stuff, but these girls, like,
05:40:34.940
have to, like, have to, like, have to, like, have to, like, have to, like, hey, thank you so much for coming here.
05:40:52.080
But those of you who need to take off that account so we understand.
05:41:21.220
It's your favorite, uh, tradcon simp is what someone called me.
05:42:09.160
I've been streaming full-time now for five years is what I've been doing.
05:42:18.120
Really, what I like to do, it's a beautiful fusion of playing World of Warcraft and complaining
05:42:25.000
We talked a lot about some of these issues and stuff.
05:42:29.060
I think, like, those raw conversations are so necessary.
05:42:36.120
I guess, namely, I'm kind of speaking to young men in the audience and this audience or my
05:42:44.200
I think a lot of people would acknowledge as sort of a young men's mental health epidemic.
05:42:47.980
No one really is giving a shit about young men.
05:42:56.080
Men are super eager to acknowledge, yeah, men's mental health, it's fucked up.
05:43:02.700
But the second you start proposing some sort of solution, it's like, okay, well, you need
05:43:06.560
You need to stop smoking this, or drinking this, or jerking off to this, or doing...
05:43:12.920
It's like, well, listen, if you're going to acknowledge there is some sort of issue,
05:43:17.860
we have to actually get nitty-gritty and talk about ways to actually sort of rectify
05:43:22.340
So, then you have guys like this angry Casper who gets mad about it.
05:43:36.980
Should I just fucking meme and lower the TTS to, like, ten bucks or something?
05:43:50.860
Do you manufacture, or do you use a contract manufacturer?
05:43:59.460
Two years ago, well, two and a half, I was shopping around.
05:44:09.860
Well, really, I just wanted to make it in the U.S.
05:44:13.000
If you make it in China, who knows if there's arsenic or rat poison in your gum.
05:44:17.180
Um, for the guy that said I'm a misandrist, apologize.
05:44:20.880
Here's the thing, like, with some of the takes I'm giving, I'm actually concerned that they're misogynistic.
05:44:26.900
That they're actually anti-woman because I tend to put more...
05:44:30.960
How can I put the agency or emphasis on the decision of men?
05:44:38.640
Which I think, I think maybe if you're, like, brain dead, that's like, yeah, you're hand-waving all of the female behavior.
05:44:44.580
But it's like, really, I'm just kind of putting extra emphasis on the behavior of men.
05:44:47.840
Uh, which is, like, maybe kind of misogynistic, maybe.
05:45:00.740
You have yet to really show, like, major red flags?
05:45:04.880
You're actually advocating sometimes for women?
05:45:08.880
Well, I'm like, this is one of the problems with the whole red pill sphere.
05:45:13.480
Every man is super eager to blame women for all their problems,
05:45:15.960
but then they have 0% introspection and realizing that, okay, you know what,
05:45:20.380
I'm actually responsible for some of the ways that I am conducting myself,
05:45:29.360
Does anybody want, like, a kind of browning banana?
05:45:42.620
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna, okay, yeah, yeah, I got it.
05:45:47.620
So you guys, one of you goes to CC, one of you goes to UCSB.
05:45:59.980
She's, like, really the nicest person I've ever met.
05:46:04.480
Wait, but I, like, said your protein powder thing.
05:46:07.580
Someone actually read in the chat, someone said that's really actually a green flag, so...
05:46:21.500
We're gonna do TTS 10 and up if any of you psychos want to fucking just...
05:46:39.480
Yeah, by the way, I was disappointed in you because you did not hold, like, insane psycho status fucking icon or staring at me.
05:46:53.340
Oh, hey, my girl in blue came back for the after show.
05:46:57.140
Y'all gotta convince Brian to have me on the show.
05:47:05.700
I'm also in purple, so we love a little colorblind.
05:47:14.680
Yeah, I met him today, and he was dropping $1,000 donos, and now he's dropped down to $10, so I'm like, uh, I don't know.
05:47:27.520
Wait, can you reiterate, though, the popcorn reference?
05:47:31.540
Well, like, there's a bunch of memes where it's like someone's eating popcorn.
05:47:35.040
It's kind of like, oh, this is an entertaining moment.
05:48:50.820
I just think there's a lot of chemicals in our food.
05:48:56.940
I got to save some money for all the gum I'm trying to buy.
05:49:06.100
Wait, can you screw your microphone a little that way?
05:49:14.580
The mic is kind of blocking your friend's face there.
05:49:32.040
As a vet, people should never talk about their disability.
05:49:36.040
Above 30%, the ex-spouse can take it in divorce.
05:49:45.460
As a vet, people should never talk about their disability.
05:49:47.460
Above 30%, the ex-spouse can take it in divorce.
05:49:56.080
I mean, like, what if you're in a wheelchair and you need someone to build you a wheelchair
05:50:00.200
Because I complain about my neck and back all the time?
05:50:16.780
I think chiropractors are quacks, to be honest, but...
05:50:27.160
I mean, at least you won't feel the neck pain anymore.
05:50:35.500
When you're paralyzed, is it like an absence of feeling, or do you feel like tingles where
05:50:49.520
I'm pretty sure if you're paralyzed, you still feel your body, but you don't have control
05:50:56.480
over it, and it's painful, and you feel tingles.
05:51:00.120
I know your body makes phantom pains sometimes.
05:51:03.220
So it's like you almost forget that that limb's gone, and in your brain, make up that there
05:51:13.720
By the way, Nick, can you pull up the pop-out chat for YouTube?
05:51:23.320
I think you need to wear a diaper if you're paralyzed like that, probably.
05:51:34.360
Here, I want you guys to say, please, sir, can I have another?
05:51:46.400
How come nobody believes that I'm wearing purple in the chat?
05:51:58.080
Okay, keep in mind, I was gonna wear black, but...
05:52:07.260
But as disability, we get some $150 per 10% and $3,600, MoTax free.
05:52:14.980
How it works is all convoluted, so many stupid nuances.
05:52:32.620
Or maybe it might not have even been a war, but...
05:52:35.660
Can you tell us the backstory, like, what happened, man?
05:52:48.480
It says, give me a squeeze, and it has a lemon.
05:52:55.580
She walked out of the room and was like, is this okay?
05:53:31.440
Because we were in Iraq for a while, weren't we?
05:53:37.340
Well, we got out of Iraq, but then we were in Afghanistan.
05:53:53.200
Okay, I understood most of it until it said una rosa, which...
05:54:17.760
So, see how there's a lemon with a little face on it, and it's super happy?
05:54:21.100
Well, she's saying, give me a squeeze, because she's a lemon.
05:54:36.320
It's technically above my chest, but like, it could be an innuendo.
05:54:57.880
A lot of my cousins actually played it, but like, I...
05:54:59.960
I grew up watching them play it in like years, but I never played it because I wasn't allowed
05:55:15.440
So, like, I'm new to the D&D world, so don't judge me.
05:55:23.300
I started a new campaign on the first Sunday of August.
05:55:46.580
Okay, but we were at the bookstore, and I saw a D&D starter kit.
05:55:52.640
I was there with him, just the two of us, and I said, hey, can I buy this D&D starter
05:55:57.040
And he looked at me, and he went, just like, stone-cold face.
05:56:08.460
And it's because, like, you know, when he was, like, a football kind of jock guy back
05:56:34.220
So, uh, still got some neck pain, some brain fog, some headache issues.
05:56:41.840
Um, it's been, actually, my back's been bugging me more recently.
05:56:53.520
Brian, my wife and I are actively trying to recruit a mini-me.
05:56:57.300
I've seen a few, but none with a dark beard yet.
05:57:19.400
I, I was doing a Dr. Evil impression last show.
05:57:30.680
So, my chat was like, Brian, you need a mini-me.
05:57:53.320
Not, not because I'll have, I'm, I'm, I'm open to all different types of people.
05:57:58.140
And, but I got, I kind of got clipped because I said, here's the problem, though.
05:58:10.460
But you can't have a mini-me that's not like, mini-me is identical to you.
05:58:23.920
I want to get Vern Troyer's ex-girlfriend on the show.
05:58:32.780
Angry Casper, thank you for the New Zealand 20.
05:58:55.280
Like, so she wasn't transgender, but like wanted to live as a man as like some sort of experiment.
05:59:03.200
And then she found out it kind of sucked to be a man.
05:59:10.340
Because I guess people, I don't know what the true story is, but maybe because of like her experience as a man.
05:59:39.480
Do you speak, oh, I was going to ask if you speak Tagalog.
05:59:42.780
You speak Spanish and we couldn't decode that earlier?
05:59:51.020
Your impression of Dr. Evil is much better this week.
05:59:54.460
You sound a lot less like Trump than you did last time or two.
06:00:03.440
I really hope Brandon Mills comes in and drops $1 million.
06:00:29.160
Have you ever watched like Live Action Cat and Hat?
06:00:34.780
Y'all should come eat at the restaurant I work at.
06:00:40.520
Because there's not a lot of stuff that's open in Santa Barbara.
06:00:42.720
If your restaurant is hiring, can someone help me?
06:00:55.140
Chat, is there anything, any jobs at whatever enterprises that we can give her?
06:01:04.380
Can you be a barista so you can learn how to make coffee?
06:01:09.180
The dude guy person should do a section of the show where the girls are trying to show
06:01:14.960
So I actually, I've been meaning to do this and I've been trying to let it come up organically.
06:01:18.940
Like if a girl's like, oh, it's pretty easy for like to get laid, we'll have Maddie pretend
06:01:22.820
to be the chick and then we'll have the girls try to pick up Maddie pretending to be a guy.
06:01:29.920
I've been meaning to do it the past two shows, but it hasn't come up organically, but I will
06:01:34.100
make an effort like as an actual dedicated segment to do it.
06:02:15.320
What Botox Girl forgot to mention that when men take pets, they still have to work hard
06:02:20.140
for their desired physique versus women getting instant results with cosmetic surgery.
06:02:26.420
I don't think the plastic surgery comparison to taking steroids is an apt one because she
06:02:32.480
was saying, well, yeah, men do take steroids, but women like undergo plastic surgery.
06:02:36.540
I mean, even if you take steroids, you still have to work like incredibly hard to like
06:02:41.660
build a physique and like be disciplined with your working out and diet.
06:02:48.860
Let's, I don't know if it's considered cheating, but like you're not, it's not natural, but whereas
06:02:54.220
plastic surgery, like you can go in, in a day, boom, here's like a fake butt.
06:03:05.760
It's not like a really compelling argument or comparison.
06:03:40.660
I don't speak it, I don't speak it fluently, but I understand it fairly well and I'd say
06:04:20.500
I have to learn German now because my wife is German and half our family is living in
06:04:42.980
Actually, I don't know if I had the different red one.
06:04:45.060
In any case, you know, I was looking at my various collection of flannels that I have
06:04:50.280
and I wanted to, I picked the red because I was like, we're the only two men at this
06:04:57.220
We need to be a unified front and which better way to do that than to look, to dress similarly-ish.
06:05:32.700
I, ooh, I'm from like a small town, so it's like, I doubt he wants to go.
06:05:37.060
And if you did, I'm so sorry if you went to school with me.
06:05:40.880
I don't want to disclose like the town I'm from, because it's kind of small.
06:06:10.500
When Classic came out, I played for about eight, eight months, nine months.
06:06:16.260
I quit in April of 2020, so it was right before AQ came out.
06:06:29.940
So, I quit right before AQ, like two weeks after ZG and the Nightmare Dragons or whatever
06:06:40.260
So, I played Rogue, Main, Warrior, Alt, and then I had like a Mage and a Warlock, so thank
06:06:52.000
It actually, like, it kind of, I mean, it's a nerdy hat, but it actually kind of fits
06:07:05.080
You have to be a fucking moron to believe in God.
06:07:16.880
Just because your hair's been pulled back this entire show, could you do, like, have
06:07:20.500
you ever seen those movie scenes or, like, TV scenes where, like, it's in slow-mo and
06:07:26.980
it's, like, focused on the girl and she, like, takes out her hair and just, like.
06:07:32.980
So, because we're at the beach, like, I put my hair back.
06:07:36.220
So, if I take it out, it's just going to be, like, gel and then the bottom part.
06:07:42.800
If I take it out, it's not going to be, like, a satisfying flow.
06:07:45.960
It's going to be, like, crinkle, crinkle, flow.
06:08:06.460
Because I don't want to have to put it back up.
06:08:09.440
You're about to go to the poem and shower and sleep.
06:08:12.340
Yeah, but then I just have to, like, look like a lion on the internet.
06:08:24.560
D&D is a game for creative thinkers and it upsets those who are not as,
06:08:28.080
requires finding creative solutions to extremely unusual problems.
06:08:31.240
Have Lemon Squeezy run the whatever Twitch D&D game.
06:08:34.600
Okay, we are going to have Madison start streaming on Twitch,
06:08:49.500
Okay, let's talk about World of Warcraft for, like, three minutes
06:08:56.620
and I want you guys to be very, very interested
06:09:11.520
I also DMD you to franchise at whatever in Canada, Vancouver.
06:09:19.840
Good night and thanks for all your guys' participation.
06:09:27.960
Yeah, I've been sitting on, like, a bunch of...
06:09:43.320
that I want to respond to I haven't gotten to yet.
06:09:48.340
it is something that's kind of on the back burner.
06:09:51.180
I mean, and obviously, like, I don't know if I was super...
06:09:58.680
but if I was going to, like, franchise whatever
06:10:00.800
and set up fight club status in different locations,
06:10:07.380
It'd be a mid-six-figure investment from the person.
06:10:10.600
Brian, you deserve all of the support you've gotten tonight.
06:10:38.800
but, like, the viewership's been a little bit lower.
06:10:45.500
Some of the panel reminded me of Leela and her ally,
06:10:51.300
They interrupted and distracted way more than making any real points.
06:10:57.580
but I felt like they failed to be good representatives.
06:11:04.300
Yeah, tonight's panel was a little frustrating.
06:11:06.240
I mean, I think she was a little bit bad faith with a couple of her arguments.
06:11:12.640
I definitely got a little heated there in a couple moments,
06:11:19.580
articulating my points and made stronger arguments,
06:11:23.840
And maybe I take maybe a little responsibility.
06:11:28.420
because, to me, some of this shit is just, like,
06:11:47.160
thank you so much for your support and patronage,
06:12:05.540
where the chicks, like, showed up and sabotaged,
06:12:15.380
if it wasn't for my fucking back-and-neck stuff, guys,
06:13:00.360
I don't even like to take Tylenol or Ibuprofen,
06:13:25.440
I'll try to avoid even taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen.
06:13:56.440
I don't know, I think you look good in the hat.
06:31:34.380
Can you just like make it a hundred or something?
06:31:44.660
And we'll be maybe live again with Adam22 and his wife, Lena.
