Please keep the content coming. You are helping both genders

So,,, basically Richard Gere getting day rates in pretty woman?

Been with my Man for years and I love having sex with him. By the way he is broke

Just get prostitutes omfg. Males are crazy lol

I'm looking for one of those..........

Were there any signs early on that you decided she was a keeper?

BASTARD 😅

You are married to a dude, better check his past

Had one for 20 years. She passed away in2020 .😢

😂 So true

A guy in high school asked the 21/ 22 year old fit hot teacher if someone paid her 1 million dollars. "Would she let someone shit on her chest...." haha! No joke! Without hesitation she said yes before she realised how much trouble she would get in, half the boys laughed the other's proceeded to talk about it along the lines of hell yeah so would I, and other's I'd do it for 100k.... lol!

To be fair, 5 million pounds is enough to bridge the gap between all races, ages and genders. Probably all at least semi sentient species too. There was an experiment where they managed to teach monkeys to use currency...and a female monke dicovered prostitution shortly after.

@@brianlong2334 on a teacher's salary I'd let half the school do it, take an Uber to a car dealership and never come back.

And men treat women like how women treat clothes. "How does that look like and how would it make *me* look?" Your point?

@@kiravampira1456 I don't think men treat women like women treat clothes. Men are evolved to care for and protect their wife. Men are not that likely to show off their pretty wide in order to gain promotion at work. That just does not make much sense. It is mainly about actual technical competence. Do you really think that a guy sleeping with a girl is interested in how that would look to somebody else if he boasted about it afterwards? But women really are evolved to treat men like jobs, or in other words as work in order to obtain resources. The reason is once a woman is carrying a man's child, it is not as useful to look after the man as it is to look after the child. So the man comes last. This is why women and children got off the Titanic first. I will offer what I think of as wisdom to complement the comment from @whiskeytango9769. Women are carbon-based machines evolved over millions of years to extract the maximum possible resources from men consistent with the laws of physics by exploiting men's hopes, dreams, and insecurities. In short, women are evolved to be masters at emotional manipulation.

Do women spend their life trying to please their clothes so their clothes allow them to put them on?

@@indranilbanik3424monsters!

@romancandlefight1144 *As if* nowadays even 5% of males are willing to do that (or even to pay for a date that *they* initiated, which can be even at an ice cream shop). The actual reason most of you aren't chosen is your unearned entitlement, whether you want to believe it or not.

I would even go so far as to say, the more you act like a 'bad boy' aka trying to always get in her pants, seeing how far you can get away with things, being unavailable and playing push/pull which they LOVE the more she respects you.

Women who don't particularly like you will become obsessed with you if you reject them. They think _"How can he _*_NOT_*_ be into me?"_

I was that beta provider nice guy who paid a premium (i.e. marriage) in order to smash, and ended up losing my money, house and kid in divorce. I wish I was a Chad or Tyrone. And I wish I knew all this stuff 10+ years ago.

​​​​​​​​@@marriagecausesdivorce7540Women don't divorce providers, they divorce men who pretend to be providers/hoarders A difference between a provider and a pretender is that a provider gives her money for personal expenses, and takes her on trips A pretender's only financial contribution in her life is half the bed she uses, the water , electricity and the plate of food she eats, less than $500 in exchange for her cooking, cleaning, laundry, seggs, nannying, etc worth thousands of dollars per month that she does for free. He drains and uses her for free until she can't take it and leaves him. But this makes him unhappy because the money he never gave her, and that she helped him make with all her background work, even though he kept saying that he is working for her and the children, he will now have to split and this breaks his heart, he feels like a master who finally has to not only let go of his slave but pay them too, despite him believing that slaves shouldn't be allowed to leave on top of being free. And because money is all he ever really cared about throughout their marriage and he never really worked for her but to enrich himself , this is really hard and it might require him to get another wife to make all this money all over again, but he can't take the risk, since he knows he'll have to share it sooner or later. Not to mention that he suddenly wants to spend time with his kids now that she's divorcing, even though he couldn't take care of them by himself to save his life. If he knows their shoe sizes it's a miracle. But he hopes he'll get the custody of those kids he can't raise, so he can give them over to the girlfriend or new wife to do his job, depriving his children of both parents. Because it's never about the wife or the kids , it's about himself. Wife and kids are his collection that he is fighting to keep, but also his wallet he's trying to protect. If they stay he won't have to spend not human beings whose wellbeing he cares about and therefore shows care to , whose needs matter to him. So he calls the system corrupt instead of sensible for giving custody to the mother, because despite her imperfections she's been the presence and constancy in their children's lives

@@dearbrave4183 The amount of mental gymnastics you just now went through to justify his wife’s actions is astonishing. Wow!! Fellas take notes. 📝

Looks do matter a LOT. But i am amazed how some people have such a great personality that makes them attractive. For example i find jack black not good looking if im honest but very attractive

​@@Sportsproetthat's because he's in movies and he has the status of success you cannot separate yourself from that. How many Jack Black's have you dated that weren't movie stars?

I find everything you said here very correct! And words to live by

@@Sportsproet Exactly! Looks really do matter, but money, humor, and personality are the great equalizers! I used to be an ugly duckling until I hit my second year of high school and lost all the fat I had. Almost 100 pounds down to 210, I looked great and it helped that I was 6’1”, light eyes, dark hair, and a huge frame, so it was interesting to have woman pay attention to me for once. Once I got my full beard, it was over and most women just swoon over me now, the difference has been absolute night and day ever since. It’s not the end-all-be-all though, being good looking just gives you a handicap.

​@@BasedRedemption tbf, you probably just became attractive in your "adult" body.

It's about being really attracted to someone/chemistry. People should use their instincts more often.

@@merrittpalmer4349 Pretty sure he's referring to the one where he tells the girl "The cheapest girl tends to be the one you pay for" and she gets offended/doesn't get the joke

Loved that scene too... it showed Reacher as a quick thinker and had quips locked and loaded... *Dudes looking for a fight* : Did you call my sister a whore? *Reacher* : I meant slut but she inferred 'hooker'. *Reacher* : Pay your bills first... because you wont be able to later. *Dudes looking for a fight* : You think? *Reacher* : All the time! You should try it [thinking] sometime.

But the thing is American women give sex to men who are not even established yet and are bums so that don’t even matter. That’s why it’s tough to choose American women or any women in this feminist culture. A lot of these ladies base their whole lives on using men thinking they are balling just like type of men they want that are playas and sex every woman they want

I don't necessarily agree that money is the end-all-be-all, most women will even deal with bums if they hit the right notes and turn her on emotionally and mentally. Difference is that you PAY with time, energy, AND money versus just money, so it's more expensive for sure. Romanticism is made by the poor as Orion has mentioned, so makes sense. I just think that type of 'loyalty' garnered from attracting her emotionally/mentally is necessary to secure a woman than just satisfying her materliastic needs that she can get easily anywhere else. If you’re able to satisfy BOTH her emotional and materialistic needs, she’s going to be head over heels for sure though and ‘loyal’ as long as you keep consistent with your value.

@@BasedRedemptionthat’s why it’s called chad and Tyrone. Either well established status or bad boy with game.

dude, quit lying. You did not gain "access to all the sexual opportunities" when you turned 30. I'm almost 35 and the last time I got laid was when I was 28.

@@BasedRedemption What you said doesn't go against when he said, though. Women only charge men they don't like. Which is all the more reason why marriage is not about love.

Only a damaged person and a predator would want a woman without basic boundaries. Check yourself mate

@@marte1376 He only explained what he has observed! He never said he wants such a women.

@@Klaus80804 apparently in these comment section, "men" just want to have all the graces of beautiful women by free, because they believe that crap that if she likes you, she will give you everything by free. That may only happen with hot young men not broke fat dusties

To tell if a girl truly likes you just realize that they make it very easy to shag them. If they give you the “I’ve been too busy to text you BS” then they have low interest. It’s the lamest excuse there is. So lame it’s almost insulting to one’s intelligence. No one’s too busy to text back. Also another is compliance. Ask her to do something for you. The more compliance the more attraction

@@Jumpingjackflash123 can confirm. as a literal deadbeat most my life i never had problems getting women while living in my moms basement. sad to watch some of my hard working friends had to go through just because they werent tall or whatever. oh well, life is shit then we die.

This is the primary reason for hoeflation. Instagram attention makes 6s into 8s and 8s into unattainable 10s which only go for top percent of men and/or men who have extremely good social skills (flirting and making her want him).

Not everyone can, especially when expectations have gone through the roof thanks to Social Engineering (committed by rulers for the sake of making procreation slowly disappear).

@Mayhzon got a yout passport bro

@@Mayhzon Social Media has made birthrates soar the last 10 years... Most Children born today are based off Social Media interactions. I do agree that relationships are declining. But at the end of the day... "You" or Any Man. Can find a woman who likes you. The question is... Will she be the woman "You" or Men want.

@@ahgtrell No, Social Media has contributed to the decline further and is ironically isolating people. Look at the two of us typing away with each other on a friday night. Some odd 50 years ago, our grandparent generation was out and about just about now, getting to know new people. Yet we are here, having debates online, probably not even on the same continent. Social Media isolates. It gives us the illusion that we are surrounded by people, yet we distance ourselves from all the real connections if left unchecked.

@@sapper986 Mixing with someone from another ethnic background means to commit a crime against myself and her. Ending a family's lineage by creating something unpure is a terrible thing and precisely for that reason it is encouraged by all of post-modern media. It also diminishes national and cultural borders by helping dissolve them. A passport is no solution to me. It is surrender. That's how I see it. When have you seen last a White only, Asian only, Arab only or Black only couple in advertizing? They went instinct by the late 2000's. At least if you want to believe what's on TV or ad banners on websites.

Lmao that’s is so true.

Only broke and dusties think like that. All men pay, ALL. Shame on you, I'm glad there's feminism and women with 2 options: they are gold diggers or the feminist ones that have their life together and don't need ugly, fat and broke dudes.

Or in my case, a coco cola at my home, had a few;p

I never understood guys that did that, I mean. I'm not rich I always struggled financially but never with women. Even if I had money I would never go beyond a Coffee date on the 1st date. I know men that want to impress with money as well, they really ask for it lol, making themselves a target.

@@53strat55 it’s foolish and makes her not respect you. A man blowing 200$ on a first date is equivalent to a woman allowing a man to have sex with her after a ten min conversation at a local dive bar. I personally wouldn’t take a woman seriously who lets me have sex with her after barely knowing each other.

Congrats on your weight loss - I know how difficult it is. I hope you're doing well with it. I agree entirely that human interactions are transactional, but most people aren't aware of this. I lost nearly 40kg, or around 40% of my body weight in fat in 12 months a few years ago. I then regained 25% in muscle. What I found regarding other people is that on aggregate I was getting treated better by other men, except for the insecure ones. Most of the men I knew previously were sincere in their congratulations, but a few would make sarcastic digs that hid underlying bitterness. The most sincere reaction of approval was from other jacked men in the gym, and from other well-built men in the streets. It was a subtle nod that they give to one of their own, I guess. As far as women are concerned, I didn't do much with them before at all, because I keep myself away from them. There's one woman though who now positively glows when she sees me, and she's someone who knew me before. But the general reaction from women is that they see me as a piece of meat. Some want to have a free grope of my pecs and the rest of it. It also resulted in greater visibility, sadly. It brought out all the insects from under their stones who now attempt to bait me to become their newest orbiter. In terms of business, I"m not a businessman, I'm an academic of sorts and who deals with the public from time to time, and I'd be sometimes asked to 'keep an eye' on visiting university students when they stay over on conferences to make suer they don't break things. In other words, preventative security detail. In general, I found I get respected better by the public now compared to when I was very fat. Same with people in the rest of society. There's only one or two hardcore nutters who think they need to pick an unnecessary fight with me, though it never goes to blows.

I mean, it's not sad, it's how things are. How can you expect from others to threat you nicely, when you are not doing that to yourself either, just in the physical aspect.

mind sharing the explanation? Or the link to it?

Women can’t help it either. She’ll know he’s a good man but deep in her heart things won’t feel right. You gotta understand, even if the man in particular isn’t necessarily a good person, as long as he can make a woman feel, he’ll always have her heart. That’s what nice boys don’t understand. Those men can stimulate her brain in ways that you can’t, so you’re always going to lose. That’s just the way life goes, most men weren’t born to be alphas, a bitter pill most of y’all need to swallow.

Well? Do you remember anything from the podcast and care to share why she didnt give them a chance?

Could you share the link of the podcast please?
