Here thousands of 0:00:24.240 --> 0:00:27.720 hours of Dennis's lectures, courses in classic radio programs, and 0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:38.239 to purchase Dennis Prager's Rational Bibles, go to Dennisprager dot com. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:41.880 On today's episode of Timeless Wisdom. 0:00:41.840 --> 0:00:44.279 I have I'm going to throw out a theory today 0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:47.320 that I once I threw out once, and it is 0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:51.720 simply this. This is about our society at this time, 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.560 or at least for the last generation. Something happens to 0:00:56.680 --> 0:01:01.120 a lot of women around age twenty nine in the 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.839 way they look at life, so much so that it 0:01:06.039 --> 0:01:11.280 may in fact be a cause of a disproportionate number 0:01:11.400 --> 0:01:12.720 of marital breakups. 0:01:13.039 --> 0:01:16.440 That's coming off on Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager, and 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.200 it starts right now. 0:01:19.479 --> 0:01:21.440 I am old fashioned. I like two sexes. 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:22.760 I don't know. 0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:24.320 I think all of a sudden, I don't like being 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.360 married to what is known as a new woman. I 0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:27.880 want a wife, not a competitor. 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.520 Competator, competitor, talk about a bit, this crying in the 0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.200 morning thing. It's depression, you know, let's get that fixed. 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:35.440 That's what men think, isn't it. 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:39.280 What Unless you've got the answer, Unless you can say, oh, 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:41.480 I know this bloke in Essex Road, call fix that, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.400 and there's no point bothering. 0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:45.240 How do you write women so well? 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.360 I think of a man and I take away reason 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:50.640 and accountability. 0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:52.160 I love him. 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.040 I love him and I don't care what you think. 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.400 I love him for the for the man he wants 0:01:57.480 --> 0:01:59.560 to be, and I love him for the man that 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.120 he almost is. 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.320 What do people have rowse about him? 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:09.440 Money? It's sex sex money he wants, she doesn't want, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:14.119 she wants, he doesn't want women. I've always been a 0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:20.999 big problem to me, doctor Fusspenden. Yes, yes, yes, go on, 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:33.000 gon hi everybody, and welcome to the Welcome to the 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:39.520 Dennis Prager Show, The Male Female Hour. Alrighty there, all right, 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:43.840 throat be good, ah, my friends. Every week at this 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:46.000 time we talk about men and women. It's titled The 0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:49.919 Male Female Hour, and I'm Dennis Prager and I welcome 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:52.760 you to it. Truly honest talk about men and women. 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.600 I mean, really honest. There are times that it's so 0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.800 honest and so mature to use a term that has 0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:02.320 fallen out of common usage that I actually tell you 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:05.320 that maybe kids under a teenage years might not be 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:08.000 it may not be appropriate, for that's not the case 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:10.880 this time, but it gives you an idea of how 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:15.000 honest we do talk about honestly we do talk about 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:18.320 these issues I have. I'm going to throw out a 0:03:18.400 --> 0:03:21.639 theory today that I once I threw out once. Do 0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.840 we have that letter? By the way, hoh? Is this 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:30.840 it good? Yes? I threw this out once or twice, 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.920 perhaps in the course of talking about related ideas, but 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:39.560 I never ever developed it, and I fully acknowledge it 0:03:39.720 --> 0:03:45.480 is just a theory of mine based on observation. It may, 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:49.560 it may, and it may not be. Well, that's redundant. 0:03:49.640 --> 0:03:53.000 If it may, then it may not. You know, like 0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.880 when people say, well maybe or maybe not, but maybe 0:03:56.040 --> 0:04:01.440 means maybe not anyway, I love to get your reactions, 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.760 and I suspect that, well, no, I think men may 0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.200 have something to say about this, but certainly, certainly I 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.760 suspect a fair number of women. And if not not, 0:04:12.120 --> 0:04:15.520 we'll just find out. But if I'm right, it was 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:24.080 worth raising in because the consequences of this may affect 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:28.600 people down the road and not long down the road, 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:32.360 as you will understand, quite considerably. And that is this, 0:04:33.919 --> 0:04:37.640 and I have believed this now for let's see, oh 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.800 about twenty twenty five years, and it is simply this, 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:45.720 at least in our society at our time. I do 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:48.680 not say that at all, that this is universal. Most 0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:51.000 of my theories about men and women are universal. This 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:56.200 is not. This is about our society at this time, 0:04:56.440 --> 0:05:02.720 or at least for the last generation. Something happens to 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.280 a lot of women around age twenty nine in the 0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:12.040 way they look at life, so much so that it 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:17.440 may in fact be a cause of a disproportionate number 0:05:17.640 --> 0:05:24.080 of marital breakups. If this resonates with you, call me 0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.360 male or female, but it is not. But it is 0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:31.520 about females. Males at twenty nine is no different than 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:35.440 male at twenty five. Male at thirty five. Males have 0:05:35.600 --> 0:05:39.520 a fairly males may have a midlife crisis. But which 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:43.239 of course, could be at fifty, at sixty, at forty five, 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.000 I don't know. I don't know. I would say those 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.960 forty five to sixty five, I guess. But that's a 0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:53.760 very broad period of time and that we all know about. 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.520 But there seems to be something that happens at around 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.720 twenty nine to a lot of women who all of 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.040 a sudden start asking and the full number here is 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:08.320 one eighth Praeger seven seven six one eight pr g 0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:12.120 Er seven seven six, which is eight seven seven two 0:06:12.279 --> 0:06:16.040 four three triple seven six eight seven seven two four 0:06:16.200 --> 0:06:19.840 three triple seven six. And it appear years that, at 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:24.440 about age twenty nine, a lot of women start asking 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:29.320 who am I? What am I? What do I want 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:34.440 in life? Why am I here in this marriage, in 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:40.279 this relationship, in this in this work, in whatever. It's 0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:44.720 like it overtakes them. It's like a if there's a 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.760 midlife crisis for men, then I don't know, is this 0:06:47.839 --> 0:06:50.560 an early life crisis. I don't know what to call it. 0:06:50.680 --> 0:06:53.719 A twenty nine year it's almost like an alarm clock. 0:06:55.200 --> 0:06:57.560 And look, if I didn't, if I didn't see this 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:02.720 in more than a few cases, then I would never 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:08.200 even bring it to your attention, and certainly I wouldn't 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.240 broadcast it on a national radio show. I mean, it's 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:13.400 it would be embarrassing if you know, I knew two 0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:16.440 people that something happened to and then say, folks, you 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.920 tell me, do you do you find an increase in 0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.400 I don't know, Dan Ruffo at the age of thirty six. 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.400 I mean, it's not like that it's that I have 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:29.600 just too often seen it. I mentioned this once in 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:34.720 passing and I received a number of responses. Here's an 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:41.960 example of one from a Katie in Scottsdale, Arizona. Subject 0:07:42.080 --> 0:07:45.880 twenty nine is the magic number. Question mark please please 0:07:46.160 --> 0:07:50.000 please expand on this, Dennis, and then three exclamation points. 0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:56.120 This woman is into Trinity's please please please, three exclamation points. 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:59.120 I have to know the theory. I am twenty nine 0:07:59.200 --> 0:08:02.680 and have undergone tremendous changes in the past year. I 0:08:02.840 --> 0:08:05.160 actually just told my husband the other night that I 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.880 don't want to be married to him anymore. I love 0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:10.520 him and I don't want to end it, but he 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.720 is such a miserable, selfish pain. Anyhow, this is just 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:17.120 one of the many quote unquote changes. If you have 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.120 some insight into this than we the royal we needed, 0:08:21.280 --> 0:08:26.600 then it's one exclamation point. Alrighty, So let's see if 0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:31.040 by the way, if this is so, if there really 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:36.319 is this phenomenon in our society, then it there should 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:41.920 be some It should have some effect on marital decisions 0:08:42.839 --> 0:08:45.640 that men and women make, and and I'll talk about that. 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.080 It doesn't mean you don't marry a woman under twenty nine. 0:08:49.360 --> 0:08:52.720 But it means that care be taken by the woman 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:58.319 and the man has she thought through a lot of 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:02.800 things already, if it's even possible to do so in 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:07.120 every case. All right, Catherine in Phoenix, Arizona, Catherine, Dennis 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:08.320 Praeger High, Hi. 0:09:08.320 --> 0:09:09.839 Thanks so much for taking my call. 0:09:10.120 --> 0:09:10.400 Thank you. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:12.559 As soon as I heard what you were saying, I 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:16.679 stopped dead in my tracks and just picked up my ears. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.920 I completely I GESTI with everything you've just said. I 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.040 think it's whether you're. 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.280 Single, well you are, you are twenty nine. 0:09:24.520 --> 0:09:26.679 I am twenty nine, and I am single. I'm in 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:31.240 a serious, committed relationship. But you start going through this 0:09:31.360 --> 0:09:34.440 phase of just asking all these questions and you feel 0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.360 like you know less now than you've ever known in 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:41.000 your life, and it's hard to make decisions because it's 0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:44.240 kind of what the color of Katie from Scottsdale. You know, 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:48.040 she's having major attortionities now. But I feel like it 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:49.640 happens when you're single or married. 0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.040 Yes, and I would love to hear more. 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.520 So wait, I want you. I want to hear a 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:58.160 little more from you. Tell me what this alarm clock 0:09:58.240 --> 0:10:00.920 at age twenty nine alarmed you about. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.480 You start to ask career questions. You start to ask 0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:08.000 where am I headed in my life? What am I doing? 0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.160 Is that the right thing? But you're you're kind of 0:10:10.240 --> 0:10:12.920 at a point where if you are single, your I 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:15.480 don't know if it's the biological clock, but something's ticking. 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:17.680 It makes you feel like, well, if you're not married, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.480 you're either doing something wrong or I need to get 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:20.920 on that bandwagon pretty soon. 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.240 Right. But the women, but again, as I said, so 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.120 many of the women wonder why they got married. I know, 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.360 so it's it is an alarm clock. Did it take 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:32.320 you by surprise? 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:36.120 It's a girlfriend and I we have lots of theories. 0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.839 Around twenty six, she was a year ahead. She was 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:41.680 at twenty seven. She says, Catherine, you're going to start 0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:44.000 going through a point in your life where things just 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:46.280 don't make sense. And she was that, I feel like 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.640 it starts happening around twenty six and twenty nine. I 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.439 just it's I feel like it is stronger than it 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:53.080 ever has been. 0:10:54.080 --> 0:10:55.679 And I know, you know, kind of trouble by the 0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.559 way you want you want Katie's email address, maybe you 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.880 could stop. You want Katie's email address? Your neighbors, Sure, 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.000 she's I can't do that. But now I'm just kidding. 0:11:05.160 --> 0:11:07.120 It would be fun, though, to have like the twenty 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.360 nine year old Woman's club where you can all sit 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:13.319 and say how confusing life is. 0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:16.679 And it's like, you know, I pray for answers and 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.280 I just take you day by day. 0:11:18.440 --> 0:11:20.319 All right, Well, we'll have a lot of people, all 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:22.959 I mean, we're just overloaded already with with thank you, 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:27.560 thank you, Catherine. I appreciate it. I think I'm onto 0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:30.640 something here. And have you ever heard it? Be beyond 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.280 me saying this? And I'm not sitting here to tell 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.720 you I'm terrific. I just I have not seen it mentioned. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:43.400 And why in our society is it? You know? Is 0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:47.120 it happening in Uzbekistan and in Paraguay and I don't know. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.760 All right, well, we'll take more of your calls. This 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.679 is the male Female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show. 0:11:58.400 --> 0:12:01.679 This episode of Timeless Wisdom. We'll continue right after this. 0:12:07.240 --> 0:12:10.800 Now back to more of Dennis Prager's timeless wisdom. 0:12:12.800 --> 0:12:15.320 This is the male female Hour on the Dennis Prager Show. 0:12:15.360 --> 0:12:21.240 And I'm Dennis Prager, and I try to be as 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.160 transparent as possible, and it has its risks. But the 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:31.080 benefits so far outweigh the risks. And therefore, when people 0:12:31.120 --> 0:12:32.679 say to me, you know Dennis, I feel like I 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:34.959 know you? You do you do know me? This is 0:12:35.080 --> 0:12:38.280 me and the transparency that I'm about to offer you 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:42.720 is what went into my making this hour on this subject. 0:12:43.240 --> 0:12:45.720 It is something I have thought about for twenty five years. 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:49.640 But I gambled an effect in making this a subject 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:52.440 for the Male Female Hour, because what if my theory 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:57.760 was kaka maimie. I never read about it, nobody else 0:12:57.840 --> 0:13:03.040 told this to be, and so we really we debated 0:13:03.240 --> 0:13:07.319 Alan and I over this. He wanted it sooner than I. 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:11.000 I finally felt like, let's take the risk. And yet 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.199 I look at these calls and I think, I do 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:17.160 think I'm onto something here, And if I am, it's 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:19.760 a very important thing to know because the better people 0:13:19.880 --> 0:13:22.280 know themselves, and the better the sexes know each other, 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.360 the more chance there is for good relations between the 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:28.800 sex and a happier life. And it's a very simple theory. 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:32.200 I hope it's not simplistic, but it is simple. Something 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:35.880 happens to women and many women in our society around 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:41.360 age twenty nine rethinking everything, A is it true? B 0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:45.160 If it is true, why is it so? So let's 0:13:45.240 --> 0:13:48.280 first see is it true and get some more calls. 0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:52.079 Here we go to Houston, Texas and is your name Hazen? Yes, 0:13:52.120 --> 0:13:54.800 there it is Hi Hazen, Dennis Prager, thanks for calling. 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:57.440 Yeah, good afternoon, mister Prager. I think to answer your 0:13:57.480 --> 0:14:00.000 two questions right there, I think, yes, you're onto something. 0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:04.000 And I can only ponder a guest, but I think 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:05.439 between the well. 0:14:05.280 --> 0:14:07.400 Tell us why you think I'm onto something? Tell us 0:14:07.480 --> 0:14:08.920 your own experience with this. 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:12.559 Well. I celebrated my fifth year anniversary last weekend with 0:14:12.640 --> 0:14:15.800 my wife, got two lovely boys. And she needs time 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:16.280 and space. 0:14:16.400 --> 0:14:17.439 And how old is she? 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.280 She's thirty, okay? 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.000 And did it seem to come out of nowhere? 0:14:23.480 --> 0:14:27.160 Out of nowhere? It just absolutely blindsided me. She's needed 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:30.440 time and space. And and I'm to the point where 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:34.440 as I told your screener, you know what are you doing? 0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:36.560 I've given you everything you've ever wanted. You stayed on mom, 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:40.680 beautiful house, healthy boys, loved you. Everything I have is 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:41.640 in your hands. 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:42.520 Run with it. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.600 And she's all of a sudden now not happy. And 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:48.000 I think she's not happy because what she's realizing this 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.760 is where my pop psychology comes in. She's venturely. She 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.440 doesn't know how to love. She doesn't know if it's 0:14:55.320 --> 0:14:58.200 if it's primal in like nineteen fifties ish, or if 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:01.720 it's by being a strong, independent, career minded woman. She doesn't. 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.360 She's I think she's so she's got to be torn up. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:07.960 There's there's a the biological as your earlier caller said 0:15:07.960 --> 0:15:09.080 about the biological Yeah. 0:15:08.960 --> 0:15:11.280 But she is. She has already met her biological clock. 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.360 She has two kids. She had to exactly. 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.800 No, your previous caller addressed that, And what I wanted 0:15:16.800 --> 0:15:19.160 to say is this clock has been met and uh 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:21.480 and that part of the equation in my in my 0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:26.200 world is out, so you know. So now she's saying, Okay, 0:15:26.240 --> 0:15:28.200 well now I have everything I ever wanted, and now, 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:29.880 well what is it that I really want? You you 0:15:29.960 --> 0:15:30.880 intimated that earlier. 0:15:31.160 --> 0:15:34.000 That's that's exactly right, Hazen. I just want you to 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.440 know this is of no help to you, but my 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.800 heart goes out to you. Please note that I I 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:45.040 I'm not casting any villains here, but by the way, 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.600 there are times I do. I I don't hesitate for 0:15:47.680 --> 0:15:49.920 making moral judgments, but I just want to say here 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:54.240 that my heart goes out to a guy if what 0:15:54.440 --> 0:15:59.400 he describes is accurate, I mean, he is blindsided. You 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:03.080 know what? What did I do wrong? He must make up, 0:16:03.160 --> 0:16:07.720 pinch himself and ask well, isn't this like the dream 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.880 of women and folks. I'm not saying this as a 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.520 condemnation or anything. I'm saying this is so we need 0:16:13.600 --> 0:16:18.800 to understand if the phenomenon is true. The need to 0:16:18.880 --> 0:16:21.200 know that, and if it is true, we need to 0:16:21.240 --> 0:16:26.280 figure out why because of a lot of gratuitous pain 0:16:26.400 --> 0:16:31.480 that occurs between humans. Mike and Philadelphia. You're on the 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:32.400 Dennis Prager Show. 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:35.440 Denz, thank you so much for taking my call. You 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:41.280 are definitely on something here. I was married for seven 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:45.960 years and my wife, well ex wife is twenty nine, 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.560 and literally got blindsided, just like your other callers. 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:57.520 You're thirty three now, yes you have kids. No, you 0:16:57.600 --> 0:17:00.040 were married seven years, so you married. She was twenty 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.840 two when she married. Yes you were you the same age? 0:17:04.600 --> 0:17:04.639 No? 0:17:05.360 --> 0:17:05.760 Well were you? 0:17:07.000 --> 0:17:10.000 I was on Tlin four years older? 0:17:10.240 --> 0:17:13.320 All right to you? Oh, I us that this just happened, Yes, 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.800 just that a year ago, and you were blind You 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:18.840 were you? And you felt blindsided as. 0:17:18.800 --> 0:17:22.719 Well, absolutely, just one day I found out that there 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.960 was an infinity, that there. 0:17:24.920 --> 0:17:28.400 Was a lot, There was a lot infidelity. Yeah, you're 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:31.239 breaking up a little, okay, in infidelity? And what did 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:32.840 she say to you? While were her words? 0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.359 She doesn't know what she wants? 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:37.040 Boy, I tell you. 0:17:38.240 --> 0:17:41.359 And this was after years of marriage. You know home, 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:45.560 you know everything. We're kind of moving towards a shared 0:17:45.680 --> 0:17:47.680 goal and then all of a sudden I was kind 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:53.080 of left on my own and you loved her absolutely 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:54.640 without a doubt. 0:17:56.119 --> 0:17:59.960 Wow, all right, Mike, I thank you so much. And 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:05.400 you know you'll certainly meet somebody and have a happy life. 0:18:05.440 --> 0:18:10.200 I'm convinced of that. It's really uh. I mean, folks, 0:18:10.280 --> 0:18:12.320 if you throw out something like this, look, if you 0:18:12.359 --> 0:18:15.480 have a big enough audience. I'm not foolish. I understand 0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:17.520 that if you have a large enough audience a selection 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.600 of humanity, then then you know, perhaps I could have 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.960 said that men at twenty nine, this happens, But I 0:18:24.040 --> 0:18:25.680 don't think I would have filled up the lines like 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.360 this with stories like this. My husband changed at twenty nine. 0:18:29.720 --> 0:18:33.560 I don't think that happens in one percent of the cases. 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:38.320 All right, now, now we'll have enough time for me 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:40.680 to offer what I think we might want to learn 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:42.719 from this, but it's so important to hear from as 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:48.280 many of you as possible. We go to Anaheim and Teresa, Hello, Teresa, 0:18:48.359 --> 0:18:49.480 Dennis Prager, Hi. 0:18:49.440 --> 0:18:50.200 Dennis, how you doing? 0:18:50.359 --> 0:18:51.720 I'm well? Thank you good? 0:18:51.880 --> 0:18:52.080 Well. 0:18:52.200 --> 0:18:56.040 Here is here is an opinion sixty plus point of view, 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.560 kind of an overview of the various milestones in a 0:19:00.600 --> 0:19:04.440 woman's life. I think men seem to only have one milestone, 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:06.840 and that would be midlife. Whenever that happens to them, 0:19:07.320 --> 0:19:09.600 and they try to feel younger, so they try to 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.359 get dinner and they try to get a younger woman. 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:14.760 But a woman realizes about twenty nine, she's really come 0:19:14.800 --> 0:19:17.560 of age when she's says, wow, you know, okay, life 0:19:17.640 --> 0:19:20.800 is passing by really quickly. Either I need to have 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.200 a child if I have childless, or I need to 0:19:23.240 --> 0:19:24.840 go back to school, or I need to get a 0:19:24.880 --> 0:19:27.879 better job. And I think the reason behind this is 0:19:27.920 --> 0:19:31.080 that a woman is always seeming a woman always seems 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:36.119 to want to get better. Men seem to feel like 0:19:36.200 --> 0:19:38.320 they've arrived. You know, they have their job, so they 0:19:38.400 --> 0:19:39.920 do their job and they come home and that's it. 0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:47.720 I'll be sixty three in a few days and right now. 0:19:47.840 --> 0:19:50.320 I mean, I want to do it all. I want to, 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.240 you know, try different fun jobs after I retire. I 0:19:54.320 --> 0:19:56.320 want to enjoy the grandkids. I want to travel. I 0:19:56.359 --> 0:19:58.840 think women are more well rounded. I think that kind 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.639 of ads to as to the problem of what you 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:08.080 men seem to think is confusing in a way because 0:20:08.119 --> 0:20:10.359 you don't know what's happening in our minds. And I 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:12.600 think women are just more well rounded than men. 0:20:12.480 --> 0:20:15.720 And we can so what happens at twenty nine is 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:16.240 a virtue? 0:20:17.280 --> 0:20:19.640 Well, I think it's in a way, and I think 0:20:19.720 --> 0:20:22.120 women are getting married to soon. They should they should. 0:20:21.920 --> 0:20:25.200 Say well, that, by the way, is one of the 0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:28.560 questions I want to discuss here. If there is a 0:20:28.680 --> 0:20:31.040 lesson here, is that one of the conclusions to be 0:20:31.160 --> 0:20:31.840 drawn back in a. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:38.680 Moment this episode of Timeless Wisdom. We'll continue right after 0:20:38.800 --> 0:20:48.359 this now back to more of Dennis Prager's Timeless Wisdom. 0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:59.840 Times. I think if we had one hundred lines to 0:20:59.960 --> 0:21:04.920 the studio, one hundred lines would be lit up and 0:21:05.359 --> 0:21:10.000 with apparently with examples of what I am talking about. 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:14.919 One a Praguer seven seven six is the number if 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:16.760 you can get in and and it's it's it's worth trying, 0:21:16.840 --> 0:21:19.480 people drop off or whatever happens. But in any event, 0:21:19.600 --> 0:21:22.119 the subject on this male female hour. Every week at 0:21:22.160 --> 0:21:24.240 this time, I devote an hour to male female issues. 0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:29.879 Is a theory of mine that I don't claim is 0:21:30.000 --> 0:21:32.359 unique to me, but I haven't heard it elsewhere. And 0:21:32.440 --> 0:21:34.800 that is that something happens around age twenty nine to 0:21:34.920 --> 0:21:38.840 a great many women in our society, and it's almost 0:21:39.000 --> 0:21:43.840 like an alarm clock goes off and brand new questions 0:21:43.880 --> 0:21:47.959 about their whole life arise. And as you've heard men 0:21:48.119 --> 0:21:51.480 calling up and saying, out of nowhere, in a seemingly happy, 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:54.879 loving marriage, their wife wants a divorce out of nowhere. No, 0:21:55.720 --> 0:22:00.040 he has had no affair, and you know no, I mean, 0:22:00.119 --> 0:22:02.280 everything seemed to be great. It seems to come out 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:05.040 of nowhere, and it seems to come out of nowhere 0:22:05.040 --> 0:22:07.560 to the woman too, It's not just to the man. 0:22:08.800 --> 0:22:13.119 And if this is true, then we have to figure 0:22:13.160 --> 0:22:16.080 out why. And once we figure out why, let's figure 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:19.760 out what we can do about that. And let's go 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:25.080 to Deborah in San Antonio, Texas. Hi. Deborah Dennis Prager. 0:22:25.880 --> 0:22:28.080 Hi, Dennis. First of all, I want to say that 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:32.040 your idea is not kakameme. I would call you many things, 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:33.160 but never cocka. Mamie. 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:36.119 Well, I wouldn't call me kakamemi either. The question was 0:22:36.160 --> 0:22:37.399 where the idea was, not me? 0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:42.800 Go ahead, I won't make that connection. Then. I was 0:22:42.840 --> 0:22:45.200 just going to tell you that when I was about thirty, 0:22:45.800 --> 0:22:48.600 I had exactly what you're describing. Happened to me, and 0:22:48.600 --> 0:22:51.560 I've seen it happen to my girlfriends. I'm fifty now 0:22:51.720 --> 0:22:55.879 that I remember this very vividly, and what happened, in 0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.960 my opinion, is that women feel time passing so much 0:23:00.000 --> 0:23:03.280 more quickly than men do. And my theory is that 0:23:04.000 --> 0:23:07.760 our culture places so much value on youth and beauty, 0:23:08.440 --> 0:23:12.119 and when a woman starts getting close to thirty, we 0:23:12.280 --> 0:23:14.080 begin to feel that we only have a few good 0:23:14.160 --> 0:23:19.159 years left, and suddenly there's a pick to wonder, is 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:22.560 there something better with these few good years. It's kind 0:23:22.560 --> 0:23:24.600 of like listening to the radio and you like the 0:23:24.760 --> 0:23:27.720 song that's on, but what if there's something better? So 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.280
