WEBVTT - Timeless Wisdom: Male/Female Hour- Short Term vs Long Term 0:00:21.500 --> 0:00:25.820 Welcome to Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager. Here thousands of 0:00:25.860 --> 0:00:29.340 hours of Dennis's lectures, courses in classic radio programs, and 0:00:29.500 --> 0:00:42.540 to purchase Dennis Prager's Rational Bibles, go to Dennisprager dot com. 0:00:42.580 --> 0:00:44.940 All right, me, my friends, you're listening to the Dennis 0:00:44.940 --> 0:00:48.099 Prager Show show, where we truly talk about everything in 0:00:48.180 --> 0:00:53.180 life and one of my favorite subjects male female differences. 0:00:53.220 --> 0:00:54.980 I want to talk to you about. There's an article 0:00:54.980 --> 0:00:57.179 and I want to thank those who sent this to me. 0:00:58.060 --> 0:01:01.140 I would not have seen it otherwise. There is a study. Well, 0:01:01.180 --> 0:01:02.940 first of all, a report that just came out in 0:01:03.060 --> 0:01:08.860 New Scientists, which is a sophisticated journal, a popular but 0:01:08.980 --> 0:01:13.660 sophisticated journal about science news. And I read to you 0:01:13.740 --> 0:01:19.780 from Asian News International that has made this report from 0:01:19.820 --> 0:01:26.820 New Scientist widely available on the internet. Psychologists in Canada 0:01:26.940 --> 0:01:31.020 finally proved that men are actually irrational enough to risk 0:01:31.260 --> 0:01:36.820 entire kingdoms to catch sight of a pretty face. All right, 0:01:36.900 --> 0:01:40.220 According to a report in New Scientists dot com, biologists 0:01:40.300 --> 0:01:44.740 have long known that men like animals, and I want 0:01:44.780 --> 0:01:46.460 to I'm going to talk to you about this like 0:01:46.540 --> 0:01:50.620 animals thing because a very important little throwaway line that 0:01:50.660 --> 0:01:54.820 they did not develop here. Prefer immediate rewards to long 0:01:54.900 --> 0:01:58.900 term benefits in the future. The process is known as 0:01:58.980 --> 0:02:05.700 discounting the future. Immediately available cash is generally worth more 0:02:05.780 --> 0:02:08.859 than the same amount that would be in the future, 0:02:09.660 --> 0:02:12.300 but greater amounts of money in the future would be 0:02:12.380 --> 0:02:18.340 worth waiting for under so called rational discounting. However, some people, 0:02:18.460 --> 0:02:23.660 like drug addicts, exhibit irrational discounting when it comes to 0:02:23.740 --> 0:02:27.660 choosing a small amount of heroin today rather than a 0:02:27.700 --> 0:02:31.860 greater amount in the future. Margot Wilson and Martin Daly 0:02:31.940 --> 0:02:37.620 of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario decided to investigate discounting 0:02:37.700 --> 0:02:41.780 behavior and see if it varied with sexual mood. This 0:02:41.860 --> 0:02:45.100 is a good study. Listen to this. Male students, when 0:02:45.140 --> 0:02:49.100 shown pictures of pretty women, were more likely to opt 0:02:49.180 --> 0:02:53.419 for short term economic gain than wait for a better 0:02:53.500 --> 0:02:57.580 reward in the future. This is a remarkable test that 0:02:57.660 --> 0:03:02.180 they did. It's almost funny to show how powerful how 0:03:02.220 --> 0:03:05.460 it takes over a man's mind just seeing a pretty woman. 0:03:06.500 --> 0:03:10.100 Both male and female students at McMaster University were shown 0:03:10.180 --> 0:03:14.579 pictures of the opposite sex of a varying attractiveness taken 0:03:14.620 --> 0:03:18.540 from the website hot or not. The two hundred and 0:03:18.580 --> 0:03:21.820 nine students were then offered the chance to win a reward, 0:03:22.660 --> 0:03:25.820 and they could either accept a check for between fifteen 0:03:25.900 --> 0:03:31.060 dollars and thirty five dollars tomorrow or one fifty to 0:03:31.100 --> 0:03:34.580 seventy five dollars at a variable point in the future. 0:03:35.700 --> 0:03:39.620 The experts found that male students shown the pictures of 0:03:39.780 --> 0:03:45.340 averagely attractive women showed exponential discounting of the future value 0:03:45.380 --> 0:03:49.060 of the reward, indicating that they had made a rational decision. 0:03:49.340 --> 0:03:52.420 Let me make that very clear in case you're missing it. 0:03:53.100 --> 0:03:55.340 When the male students were shown a picture of an 0:03:55.340 --> 0:03:59.060 averagely attractive woman and then afterwards offered do you want 0:03:59.060 --> 0:04:02.660 to check for fifteen to thirty five dollars tomorrow or 0:04:02.700 --> 0:04:06.140 fifty to seventy five at a later date, that they 0:04:06.140 --> 0:04:11.700 would note then then they would say, oh, I'll take 0:04:11.740 --> 0:04:15.260 the more money a little later. They were making a 0:04:15.420 --> 0:04:20.099 rational decision. Now, let me continue. When male students were 0:04:20.140 --> 0:04:24.779 shown picks of pretty women, they discounted the future value 0:04:24.820 --> 0:04:28.740 of the reward, indicating that they had made an irrational decision. 0:04:29.940 --> 0:04:34.460 Now critical to understanding male female difference. Women, by contrast, 0:04:35.099 --> 0:04:39.460 made equally rational decisions whether they had been shown pictures 0:04:39.500 --> 0:04:45.620 of handsome men or those of average attractiveness. Uh huh, 0:04:46.260 --> 0:04:48.940 so much again, I tell you that that of all 0:04:48.980 --> 0:04:51.219 the subjects, the one that has driven me the nuts 0:04:51.260 --> 0:04:54.740 my entire adult life. I mean, since college, has been 0:04:55.100 --> 0:04:57.940 the line that men and women are basically the same, 0:04:58.340 --> 0:05:01.020 that men are taught to see women as sexual objects 0:05:01.060 --> 0:05:05.900 by playboy and the like. But really it's a societally 0:05:06.060 --> 0:05:13.100 induced thing. It drives me nuts. Ignoramuses people truly ignorant 0:05:13.180 --> 0:05:16.180 of male and female say that, or women who say, oh, 0:05:16.180 --> 0:05:18.779 come on, I'm not attracted to an attractive man. Of 0:05:18.820 --> 0:05:21.540 course you are, of course, step but it's it's it. 0:05:21.540 --> 0:05:26.540 There's no comparison in in what it does. Also, the 0:05:26.700 --> 0:05:30.260 number of men who will turn a woman's head be 0:05:31.020 --> 0:05:33.580 a stranger stranger men in other words, a man that 0:05:33.620 --> 0:05:37.620 she doesn't know from Adam, who will just have her, 0:05:37.980 --> 0:05:43.180 you know, turn her head and and and confound her 0:05:43.260 --> 0:05:46.140 mind is tiny. Where the number of women who do 0:05:46.220 --> 0:05:48.659 that to men, ask men, I mean, it's it's it's 0:05:48.700 --> 0:05:53.180 it's legion. I mean that the number is huge. This 0:05:53.660 --> 0:05:56.540 is a very good article because it is a good 0:05:56.580 --> 0:06:04.540 study because it it once again provides scientific proof for 0:06:04.700 --> 0:06:08.460 the for the obvious. And unfortunately, people who go to 0:06:08.500 --> 0:06:12.580 college are taught not to believe wisdom, not to believe 0:06:12.700 --> 0:06:17.219 common sense, not to believe their own life, but to ask, 0:06:17.620 --> 0:06:21.099 what do studies show? Okay, so for those of you 0:06:21.140 --> 0:06:24.500 who want to know what study show, studies show that 0:06:24.660 --> 0:06:28.900 men's minds are easily confounded by the sight of a 0:06:28.900 --> 0:06:33.420 pretty woman, not to mention the rest of the female anatomy. 0:06:33.860 --> 0:06:37.539 And this is just the face that presumably when it 0:06:37.540 --> 0:06:42.980 says a pretty woman, the power of sight is uniquely 0:06:43.260 --> 0:06:48.419 male the woman. The eye doesn't do to the woman. 0:06:48.500 --> 0:06:51.580 The ear does to the woman a lot of things. 0:06:51.980 --> 0:06:57.820 How he talks, how how he smells those things, or 0:06:57.900 --> 0:07:01.820 in looks is he clean? But a picture of a 0:07:01.860 --> 0:07:04.779 good looking man. The woman is just going to continue 0:07:04.820 --> 0:07:08.460 the work that she is doing. It doesn't whatever chemical 0:07:08.620 --> 0:07:11.300 or whatever it is, reaction, it's not. It's not. It's 0:07:11.340 --> 0:07:16.420 not in the same universe one eight Praeger seven seven 0:07:16.580 --> 0:07:19.340 six one eight p R. A. G. E. R. Seven 0:07:19.420 --> 0:07:22.580 seven six. I'm going to give you more conclusions here, 0:07:23.300 --> 0:07:26.180 and you may want to react to them, because this 0:07:26.260 --> 0:07:28.620 is a very you know, if you could make a 0:07:28.620 --> 0:07:30.860 lot of fun out of this thing. You know, oh, 0:07:30.900 --> 0:07:33.180 you know, as they do in the very first sentence, 0:07:33.180 --> 0:07:35.420 which I didn't read to you, the men are going 0:07:35.460 --> 0:07:37.220 to take a double turn on this is what has 0:07:37.260 --> 0:07:41.020 been long suspected is finally established. In other words, it's 0:07:41.060 --> 0:07:42.900 it's a lot of, it's a lot of. It's not 0:07:42.980 --> 0:07:46.180 a light subject, believe it or not. It can be 0:07:46.260 --> 0:07:49.820 made into it because we don't want to acknowledge its seriousness. 0:07:50.020 --> 0:07:54.820 But the eye plays havoc with men and therefore with women. 0:07:55.740 --> 0:08:00.340 Women women sense it, sometimes know it, act on it, 0:08:01.060 --> 0:08:06.180 deny it whatever it is, but its power cannot be overstated. 0:08:07.100 --> 0:08:12.020 That is why I'll give you two other, two other factors, 0:08:12.060 --> 0:08:15.540 two other conclusions from this. That is why what women 0:08:15.660 --> 0:08:20.860 wear is of such extraordinary importance because of the impact 0:08:20.860 --> 0:08:26.860 that it has on men. Now, I'm not saying we 0:08:26.900 --> 0:08:30.739 can't pass laws, and we shouldn't pass laws, and God knows, 0:08:30.820 --> 0:08:33.340 I think that the veil and the chador, these are 0:08:33.420 --> 0:08:38.140 dehumanizing things for women. But let us I'm not even 0:08:38.179 --> 0:08:40.660 taking a position. Well, I have a position, as many 0:08:40.699 --> 0:08:45.660 of you know. I think that that a sober understanding 0:08:45.699 --> 0:08:49.660 of the effect of how I, as a woman appear 0:08:49.780 --> 0:08:54.699 to men is critical. We need to soberly consider what 0:08:54.740 --> 0:08:58.699 will I want to show. But there is also another factor, 0:08:59.300 --> 0:09:01.860 and that is I'll never forget. I was listening once 0:09:01.980 --> 0:09:06.820 to a talk show host. A woman had called in 0:09:08.420 --> 0:09:11.060 said that she had found out that her husband was 0:09:11.060 --> 0:09:17.180 looking at sexy images on the computer, and the talk 0:09:17.220 --> 0:09:24.620 show host said, your husband is sick and needs help. Now, folks, 0:09:24.980 --> 0:09:28.180 there are religious reasons, there are a whole host of 0:09:28.260 --> 0:09:34.060 reasons not to involve oneself in those images. But it 0:09:34.140 --> 0:09:38.900 is not sick men look because that is the way 0:09:39.020 --> 0:09:43.980 we are programmed, and the power of it is not 0:09:44.660 --> 0:09:48.620 is not understandable by the female. You can't any more 0:09:48.660 --> 0:09:53.380 than than a male can understand. I don't know how 0:09:53.420 --> 0:09:56.260 many things go on in a woman's mind at one time. 0:09:56.980 --> 0:10:00.340 I don't think we can. It's it's not available to 0:10:00.420 --> 0:10:05.940 us because we are basically uh una attentive. One thing 0:10:06.020 --> 0:10:09.620 at a time is what we attend to. But the 0:10:09.740 --> 0:10:12.420 power of the eye that that a man. I mean, 0:10:12.460 --> 0:10:19.140 this is an unbelievable study, an unbelievably important study. Guys 0:10:19.140 --> 0:10:22.740 will make irrational decision financially just because they saw a 0:10:22.740 --> 0:10:26.340 pretty face. It wasn't even to get the woman. It 0:10:26.380 --> 0:10:29.940 was they've already got confounded in their thinking just by 0:10:29.980 --> 0:10:33.500 the look. Do you agree? Do you have any issue 0:10:33.540 --> 0:10:36.340 with what I am saying or this study? Do you 0:10:36.540 --> 0:10:40.060 the power of the eye in men? You as a woman? 0:10:40.140 --> 0:10:43.220 Does it bother you? Do you act on it? Do 0:10:43.300 --> 0:10:46.660 you understand it? Does this trouble you? Do you disagree? 0:10:46.980 --> 0:10:49.740 Do you think women have it the same way? One 0:10:49.820 --> 0:10:53.420 eighth Prager seven seven six. One eighth p R A 0:10:53.660 --> 0:10:56.820 g e r seven seven six. A gay man in 0:10:56.860 --> 0:10:59.500 Honolulu on the line, and I know what he's gonna say, 0:10:59.500 --> 0:11:01.220 and I'm gonna let him say it because it will 0:11:01.260 --> 0:11:05.980 prove my point even further. One eighth Praguer seven seven six. 0:11:06.260 --> 0:11:07.540 The Dennis Prager Show. 0:11:08.780 --> 0:11:12.140 This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 0:11:16.620 --> 0:11:28.380 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 0:11:28.660 --> 0:11:32.699 Dennis Prager here, I love it. Take five one of 0:11:32.740 --> 0:11:35.180 the great jazz things, one of the great gifts to 0:11:35.220 --> 0:11:38.300 my life in the last five years. Appreciation of a 0:11:38.300 --> 0:11:44.100 lot of jazz, happy, optimistic, free music. Just a lot 0:11:44.140 --> 0:11:45.459 of it. I mean a lot of it's junk. A 0:11:45.460 --> 0:11:47.300 lot of every music is drunk. A lot of classical 0:11:47.340 --> 0:11:50.339 is junk. And that's my background. So you know that's 0:11:50.380 --> 0:11:53.780 the way it goes. One eighth Prager seven seven six. 0:11:54.100 --> 0:11:56.500 This study that came out of a Canadian university is 0:11:56.500 --> 0:12:01.380 a good one. Showed guys and girls at the university, 0:12:01.660 --> 0:12:06.540 men and women. They showed them attractive, very attractive, and 0:12:06.860 --> 0:12:10.699 you know, average looking members of the opposite sex, and 0:12:10.740 --> 0:12:15.300 then tested their rationality on a very simple question that 0:12:15.340 --> 0:12:18.140 would determine how reasonable they were. The men lost a 0:12:18.140 --> 0:12:20.620 lot of their rationality after seeing pictures of pretty women, 0:12:20.700 --> 0:12:24.220 and the women were completely unaffected by seeing pictures of 0:12:24.220 --> 0:12:28.180 attractive men. And an attractiveness was taken off a website 0:12:28.179 --> 0:12:32.460 that judges attractiveness of people, the power of the male eye, 0:12:32.700 --> 0:12:35.740 the female power, but not just female. And the proof 0:12:35.780 --> 0:12:39.100 that this isn't societal, but this is innate comes from 0:12:39.140 --> 0:12:41.980 a call that I am about to take from Tim 0:12:42.020 --> 0:12:45.740 in Honolulu on k h n R. Tim Dennis Prager, 0:12:45.780 --> 0:12:46.580 thank you for calling. 0:12:47.980 --> 0:12:50.300 Hi, Hi, Hey, I love Take five. 0:12:50.340 --> 0:12:55.460 Also, how can you not you just need ears? 0:12:56.140 --> 0:12:58.620 Yeah, I just wanted to confirm what you said because 0:12:58.660 --> 0:13:02.460 I'm a gay man and my head is turned when 0:13:02.500 --> 0:13:04.620 I see an attractive guy, and I think it is 0:13:04.660 --> 0:13:06.620 innate exactly. 0:13:07.220 --> 0:13:10.220 Gay men are the proof that I always offer for 0:13:10.500 --> 0:13:14.300 male female differences that there is only one difference between 0:13:14.340 --> 0:13:18.940 you and me, is sexually speaking, only one the object 0:13:19.620 --> 0:13:22.740 of our attention of ours, that which attracts us is 0:13:23.140 --> 0:13:25.940 a different sex. But in every other way, the gay 0:13:25.980 --> 0:13:28.940 man and the straight man are sexually the same. That 0:13:29.100 --> 0:13:30.820 is why. By the way, and I don't say this, 0:13:30.820 --> 0:13:34.420 This is not a negative comment, It is just a comment. 0:13:34.500 --> 0:13:38.300 It is far harder I have to believe for gay 0:13:38.380 --> 0:13:41.939 men to stay faithful to one another than for a 0:13:41.980 --> 0:13:43.660 straight man and straight woman. 0:13:45.980 --> 0:13:48.300 Well, that's an ethical thing. I think that's individual. 0:13:50.020 --> 0:13:53.620 It's always individual. But I'm saying it's harder because the 0:13:53.660 --> 0:13:57.100 male drive for variety, which you the gay man, and 0:13:57.140 --> 0:14:00.540 I the straight man have. But I am curbed by 0:14:00.620 --> 0:14:05.060 the fact that I am married to a female, whereas 0:14:05.220 --> 0:14:07.820 you are. You would be bonded to the extent that 0:14:07.900 --> 0:14:09.699 you would be to a man who has the same 0:14:09.820 --> 0:14:10.939 drive for variety. 0:14:11.980 --> 0:14:14.620 That's true, that's true, But it's also a good argument 0:14:14.660 --> 0:14:16.660 for legalizing marriage to give the. 0:14:16.860 --> 0:14:19.900 Well that yeah, that's Andrew Sullivan's argument. We debated that, 0:14:19.980 --> 0:14:22.140 and I'm in his look in fact my essay, I 0:14:22.300 --> 0:14:25.700 I don't it is a good argument if the only 0:14:25.780 --> 0:14:30.420 purpose of marriage is to is to stop promiscuity. But 0:14:30.420 --> 0:14:33.100 but it is not a good argument if if part 0:14:33.180 --> 0:14:36.620 of the reason for marriage is to is to sanctify 0:14:36.700 --> 0:14:39.100 male female relations. But I don't want to get into 0:14:39.140 --> 0:14:42.940 that because your call is extremely valuable for what it says. 0:14:43.140 --> 0:14:46.500 People need to understand the male, the gay male looks 0:14:46.540 --> 0:14:49.180 at men the way the straight male looks at women. 0:14:50.740 --> 0:14:52.820 I mean, I see you know, I I see, I 0:14:52.860 --> 0:14:56.460 see your your journals. I have absolutely often perused them, 0:14:56.980 --> 0:14:59.420 and it is the men. The pictures of the men 0:14:59.540 --> 0:15:02.380 are sex objects. That's why women can't say that men. 0:15:02.860 --> 0:15:06.980 They say that all all, all, you know, sex photos 0:15:07.020 --> 0:15:10.740 of women. This is misogyny. It is no more anti 0:15:10.900 --> 0:15:14.580 female those pictures of women than it is anti male 0:15:14.700 --> 0:15:15.980 the pictures you like of men. 0:15:17.980 --> 0:15:20.140 That's right, it can't be degrading. But I also I 0:15:20.180 --> 0:15:22.780 also know a lot of women whose heads turned a 0:15:22.820 --> 0:15:26.700 lot faster than we might think. And maybe women are 0:15:26.740 --> 0:15:29.140 just less willing to admit it now. 0:15:29.180 --> 0:15:32.100 But this test was not about head turning. This test 0:15:32.300 --> 0:15:36.140 was the effects of seeing a particularly attractive member of 0:15:36.180 --> 0:15:39.700 the other sex on straight men and straight women, and 0:15:39.740 --> 0:15:45.100 the men's rationality ability declined, the women's were unaffected. So 0:15:45.180 --> 0:15:47.860 the fact that a woman's head will turn, and also 0:15:48.020 --> 0:15:53.820 it will turn because the male the what attracts or 0:15:53.860 --> 0:15:57.180 how he walks, how he dresses. I mean, it is 0:15:57.220 --> 0:16:01.380 a very complex constellation of factors. Whereas for the man 0:16:01.420 --> 0:16:05.020 a picture is sufficient, whereas for a woman a picture 0:16:05.100 --> 0:16:05.900 is not sufficient. 0:16:06.300 --> 0:16:06.940 Totally agree. 0:16:07.140 --> 0:16:09.180 All right, thank you for your call to him. I 0:16:09.260 --> 0:16:12.900 appreciate it that. I'll tell you anybody who ever argues 0:16:12.940 --> 0:16:16.620 with you about well, these generalizations about male sexual nature, 0:16:16.660 --> 0:16:19.700 and they're just generalizations. And a lot of women are 0:16:19.780 --> 0:16:22.460 like that. And and anyway, if men are like that, 0:16:22.540 --> 0:16:25.220 it was because it's a sexist society that portrays women 0:16:25.300 --> 0:16:27.700 as sex objects. How do you explain them? Gay men? 0:16:28.180 --> 0:16:31.900 The way they look at men, which is identical? Identical? 0:16:32.900 --> 0:16:36.980 Alrighty one eighth Prager seven seven six. Now let's go 0:16:37.060 --> 0:16:44.420 to Cindy in Peoria, Arizona on KKNT. Hello Cindy, Dennis Prager, Hello. 0:16:44.540 --> 0:16:49.140 Hi, this is such an interesting topic. I finally realized 0:16:49.380 --> 0:16:53.020 how visually motivated men were about three years ago. And 0:16:53.060 --> 0:16:53.540 I'll tell you. 0:16:54.180 --> 0:16:56.540 Wait, and how old are you? I'm thirty four, Okay, 0:16:56.660 --> 0:16:58.500 So it took till thirty one. 0:16:58.740 --> 0:16:59.700 Isn't that disgusting. 0:17:00.020 --> 0:17:01.700 Well, I have a lot of comments on that, and 0:17:01.740 --> 0:17:04.940 I'll make them afterwards. How did it happen at thirty one? 0:17:05.540 --> 0:17:09.940 Well, I'll tell you. I think it had a lot 0:17:09.980 --> 0:17:11.699 to do with the fact that I was taking my 0:17:12.220 --> 0:17:16.580 faith more seriously. And now this sounds crazy about reading 0:17:16.619 --> 0:17:21.540 the Bible and intensively and realize that God has a 0:17:21.580 --> 0:17:26.179 lot to say about women and men and how women 0:17:26.300 --> 0:17:30.219 dressed and I and just you know the story like 0:17:30.300 --> 0:17:33.779 David and Bathsheba, things like that. And I guess I 0:17:33.859 --> 0:17:37.939 took I gave God more credit than I gave the 0:17:37.979 --> 0:17:38.740 other people in my life. 0:17:38.780 --> 0:17:41.219 Well, I'll put it in a slightly different way. I 0:17:42.419 --> 0:17:47.820 absolutely believe that secular women are far more naive about 0:17:47.859 --> 0:17:51.540 male nature than religious women are. Yes, I would bet, 0:17:51.619 --> 0:17:56.100 I would bet everything on it that secular women understand 0:17:56.179 --> 0:17:58.179 men less than religious women do. 0:17:58.459 --> 0:18:01.780 Yes, in my experience, that is very much the case. 0:18:01.820 --> 0:18:05.019 And I see that in my family that the women 0:18:05.060 --> 0:18:09.340 in my family who do not have any religious conviction, 0:18:10.139 --> 0:18:13.499 they dress no, no, I'm not listening, so I can 0:18:13.500 --> 0:18:16.659 say they dress like horse. And the women in my 0:18:16.699 --> 0:18:21.340 family who love God, they rest in a way that 0:18:21.379 --> 0:18:25.739 shows that they also love men and respect their temptations. 0:18:25.580 --> 0:18:28.939 Right, And it is because they are more willing to 0:18:29.020 --> 0:18:32.659 acknowledge the effect of how they dress on men very much. 0:18:32.739 --> 0:18:35.300 That's right, That's what I mean. They know men better. 0:18:35.580 --> 0:18:39.859 And you know, I'll tell you this whole revelation has 0:18:39.899 --> 0:18:42.179 affected me in two very profound ways, and the first 0:18:42.219 --> 0:18:46.219 one is simply, my relationships with men are so much 0:18:46.540 --> 0:18:49.820 better now. I dress modestly and I can have such 0:18:49.859 --> 0:18:53.300 wonderful conversations with men and they're not just struggled. 0:18:53.619 --> 0:18:57.139 I would ask a woman to do the following test. Obviously, 0:18:57.219 --> 0:19:01.619 you know, a woman would from from basically attractive to 0:19:01.780 --> 0:19:05.539 very attractive. Would I would ask her to do a test, 0:19:06.100 --> 0:19:10.780 and that is at work or anywhere else, to dress provocatively, 0:19:11.419 --> 0:19:14.020 and then to dress modestly. And by modestly, I don't 0:19:14.060 --> 0:19:16.419 mean to the ankles, and I don't mean to the risks, 0:19:16.459 --> 0:19:18.659 and I don't mean to the neck, and I don't 0:19:18.699 --> 0:19:22.619 mean in a bag form fitting. Let the world know 0:19:22.699 --> 0:19:25.059 you're a woman and be proud of that. That's not 0:19:25.139 --> 0:19:27.859 an issue. But I would ask a woman to dress 0:19:27.939 --> 0:19:32.580 both ways and see how the world reacts to her 0:19:33.459 --> 0:19:36.700 under the same conditions, where only her clothing has changed. 0:19:37.219 --> 0:19:40.820 Thank you, Cindy. It's an extremely important call. You've got 0:19:40.859 --> 0:19:44.419 to tell your daughters this. I will tell you why 0:19:44.500 --> 0:19:47.419 girls don't understand this. This has been my puzzle in life, 0:19:47.419 --> 0:19:51.100 and I have an answer. One eighth Prager seven seven six. 0:19:51.459 --> 0:19:53.060 You're listening to the Dennis Prager Show. 0:19:54.179 --> 0:19:57.539 This episode of Timeless Wisdom will continue right after this. 0:20:02.020 --> 0:20:08.580 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 0:20:08.699 --> 0:20:11.179 All right, my friends, this is the Dennis Prager Show. 0:20:13.780 --> 0:20:16.499 It's one of those things that is so important people 0:20:16.540 --> 0:20:18.899 don't like to acknowledge it. It is the power of 0:20:18.979 --> 0:20:22.899 the male eye, and it is it is incomparably more 0:20:24.100 --> 0:20:28.260 affected than the female eye. The female is affected through 0:20:28.300 --> 0:20:35.060 far more senses, and the male eye is. It is again, 0:20:35.139 --> 0:20:39.339 incomparably more powerful in its effect on the male than 0:20:39.379 --> 0:20:42.619 the female eye is on the female. This this study, 0:20:43.260 --> 0:20:46.379 That's why I'm reporting to because you know, I'm always uh. 0:20:47.060 --> 0:20:51.699 My view of most studies is either they're wrong or 0:20:52.260 --> 0:20:55.340 they confirm what we already knew. This confirms what we 0:20:55.379 --> 0:20:57.259 already knew, but it confirms it in a way that 0:20:57.379 --> 0:20:59.580 is so powerful that I thought i'd bring it to 0:20:59.619 --> 0:21:02.739 your attention. It's reported in The New Scientists. They showed 0:21:02.780 --> 0:21:05.619 men and women in college pictures are pretty pretty members 0:21:05.619 --> 0:21:08.260 of the opposite sex is judged on the internet as such, 0:21:09.020 --> 0:21:12.500 and the if, the if, the male. The males, as 0:21:12.540 --> 0:21:16.100 the pictures got prettier, made more and more irrational decisions 0:21:16.100 --> 0:21:19.340 on a very simple monetary matter, whereas the women were 0:21:19.379 --> 0:21:23.859 completely unaffected in the irrational capacity. Now, women's reason is 0:21:23.899 --> 0:21:27.899 profoundly affected by when she is in love, when she 0:21:28.020 --> 0:21:31.179 is emotionally caught up, or whatever it is in a 0:21:31.219 --> 0:21:35.139 man for other reasons. But we're talking now just about 0:21:35.139 --> 0:21:38.139 the power of looks. Here we have a thirty four 0:21:38.219 --> 0:21:40.419 year old woman just called and said she didn't realize 0:21:40.459 --> 0:21:42.579 this till thirty one, and she felt funny about it. 0:21:42.780 --> 0:21:44.579 And there are a lot of women who don't realize 0:21:44.580 --> 0:21:50.019 it at any age. And certainly girls don't understand this. 0:21:50.060 --> 0:21:53.419 There's no way they could. We understand the world through 0:21:53.540 --> 0:21:57.139 our own experience. But if you don't experience it that way, 0:21:57.500 --> 0:21:59.779 I mean, do the boys' legs at high school have 0:21:59.859 --> 0:22:02.299 the same effect on a girl in high school that 0:22:02.379 --> 0:22:05.419 girl's legs have on boys? Of course not. The idea 0:22:05.500 --> 0:22:08.699 is preposterous. Oh my my god. I gotta have him. 0:22:08.739 --> 0:22:11.579 I saw his legs. I mean, the idea is idiotic. 0:22:12.340 --> 0:22:21.260 There is no comparable issue of power between the male 0:22:21.340 --> 0:22:24.100 and the female when I talk about male sexual nature, 0:22:24.100 --> 0:22:26.379 and I do a great deal, and is important, so 0:22:26.419 --> 0:22:29.939 important for women to understand this and to understand that 0:22:30.020 --> 0:22:33.019 their husband is not is not sick if he sees, 0:22:33.100 --> 0:22:36.859 if he's attracted to billboards and to pictures and so on. 0:22:37.459 --> 0:22:40.219 The issue of whether one should keep looking is a 0:22:40.260 --> 0:22:44.739 religious issue, is a psychological issue that's separate, but it 0:22:44.820 --> 0:22:50.019 is not abnormal. Don't call a man sick who's not sick. 0:22:52.219 --> 0:22:55.260 And I and I have I have a great piece 0:22:55.300 --> 0:22:57.739 of advice. For example, for the guy who on a 0:22:57.859 --> 0:23:03.419 date can't stop looking around, I tell him you should 0:23:03.419 --> 0:23:05.939 sit in the restaurant and face the wall. Very simple. 0:23:06.060 --> 0:23:08.939 You have a just if you can't stop it, because 0:23:08.939 --> 0:23:10.939 there are guys who do it when they're out with guys. 0:23:11.020 --> 0:23:13.699 Forget that. When I have been at lunches with guys 0:23:14.020 --> 0:23:15.739 and I can't talk to him, I call him radar 0:23:15.859 --> 0:23:18.979 run where the you know the the He's like a 0:23:19.100 --> 0:23:22.379 radar tower, just moving from side to side. All right, 0:23:22.540 --> 0:23:25.460 let's go to uh. By the way, do you agree. 0:23:25.500 --> 0:23:28.299 I made a very bold statement that I believe that 0:23:30.300 --> 0:23:37.259 in general, religious women understand men better than secular women do. 0:23:37.979 --> 0:23:40.660 I have said frequently that my grandmother, who never went 0:23:40.699 --> 0:23:45.700 to school ever had no schooling, understood men better than 0:23:45.739 --> 0:23:50.379 the average woman who gets a PhD in sociology, and 0:23:50.419 --> 0:23:56.019 not just sociology, maybe even psychology. That is how That 0:23:56.179 --> 0:23:58.459 is a good example, by the way of why I 0:23:58.500 --> 0:24:00.859 think that there was so little wisdom at the universities. 0:24:01.179 --> 0:24:04.419 This is a classic example. You have all that studying 0:24:04.899 --> 0:24:09.820 and you won't even acknowledge this basic difference between between 0:24:09.859 --> 0:24:15.060 men and women. I Pepper Pike, Ohio and Dan Dan 0:24:15.619 --> 0:24:17.820 on WCCD. 0:24:17.179 --> 0:24:19.659 High Hie Dennis, thanks for taking a call. 0:24:19.820 --> 0:24:20.260 Thank you. 0:24:20.739 --> 0:24:23.060 Wanted to note I wanted to make notice something. I 0:24:23.500 --> 0:24:26.939 happened to work a lot with the some Orthodox Jews 0:24:26.979 --> 0:24:29.619 and they noticed that one day that some of them 0:24:29.659 --> 0:24:33.139 have strings hanging out off the corners of their of 0:24:33.179 --> 0:24:35.619 their pants. That's correct, and I asked them about what 0:24:35.659 --> 0:24:38.019 the why why is it? And they said one of 0:24:38.020 --> 0:24:41.060 the reasons why is because there's a biblical command not 0:24:41.139 --> 0:24:43.459 to run after your eyes, that you should see the 0:24:43.500 --> 0:24:46.580 strings and to remember that is exactly right, and not 0:24:46.659 --> 0:24:49.139 to chase after your eyes. But it's interesting to note 0:24:49.419 --> 0:24:52.980 that Jewish women do not have the command. But you're 0:24:53.139 --> 0:24:57.580 very that's right, you're very like you're saying that's. 0:24:57.459 --> 0:25:01.540 Right because women, women's eyes get them in trouble with 0:25:01.659 --> 0:25:05.459 more with objects than they do with men. Exactly, she 0:25:05.540 --> 0:25:09.500 will see a jewelry, she will see a home, and 0:25:09.580 --> 0:25:13.179 she will really or clothing and then she, uh, you know, 0:25:13.260 --> 0:25:16.580 may make compromise your values in order to get that right. 0:25:16.659 --> 0:25:17.979 But it all biblically based. 0:25:18.340 --> 0:25:22.979 Yes, that's the whole point. See, you're raised, many of 0:25:23.020 --> 0:25:25.619 you were raised at secular college in high school to 0:25:25.659 --> 0:25:29.500 think that the religious folks are out of it. Some are, 0:25:29.540 --> 0:25:32.259 there's no question, But in this society it's more the 0:25:32.340 --> 0:25:34.300 secular folks who are out of it. We'll be back 0:25:34.300 --> 0:25:38.379 in a moment, all right, everybody talking about the power 0:25:38.659 --> 0:25:42.939
