<v Speaker 4>I'm sure to say, yeah, I want to know everything.

0:01:53.160 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 3>So you're making this really really interesting content which is

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.480
<v Speaker 3>thought provoking on the Internet and just literally on the street,

0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:06.200
<v Speaker 3>simply asking men why they are the way they all.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, how did you start making this content?

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:14.679
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's it's a very simple question, but ilicit's very

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 5>strong reaction.

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 5>I'm a writer and so I was just like writing

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 5>about my life very quietly, behind the scenes. Yeah, And

0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 5>my lit agent was like, you should start, you know,

0:02:30.919 --> 0:02:34.119
<v Speaker 5>putting yourself on camera more build up your social media profile.

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 2>It'll help to sell your book. So I started like.

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 5>Kind of talking to the camera about what I was

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 5>writing and about what I was going through, and by

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:46.079
<v Speaker 5>about about my girl life, being a girl, being a woman.

0:02:46.639 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 5>And it got like inundated with men, Like I got

0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 5>all these male followers and they just they started sort

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 5>of infiltrating all of my socials, my sub stack and

0:02:58.280 --> 0:03:01.560
<v Speaker 5>my Instagram my TikTok, like it was just all men,

0:03:01.639 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 5>and I was like, ah, why are all these men here?

0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:08.760
<v Speaker 2>Like right, this isn't it's not for you. But after

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.360
<v Speaker 2>a while I realized.

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:13.679
<v Speaker 5>Like there's something here, like if I appeal to men,

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:14.480
<v Speaker 5>maybe I should.

0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 2>I should do something with this, I should lean into it.

0:03:17.280 --> 0:03:19.240
<v Speaker 5>So I thought it would be funny to make a

0:03:19.320 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 5>show for men. And then I was like, people just

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 5>want to see themselves represented. That's what we're all interested in.

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:29.799
<v Speaker 5>So I thought, I'll just interview men about being men

0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 5>and it'll be kind of like a funny, a funny bit.

0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 5>So it started kind of just as a joke, and

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.840
<v Speaker 5>like I just started going around town like with my

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 5>phone and like a bad microphone and just being like.

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:45.680
<v Speaker 2>Hey, I'm asking men, why are you like this?

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 5>And asking them dumb questions about being men, and it

0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 5>just kind of like weirdly took.

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 3>I love when things happen organically and you can just

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.960
<v Speaker 3>really tell that you were literally just walking up to

0:04:02.000 --> 0:04:05.119
<v Speaker 3>these guys and being like, tell me why you won't

0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:08.400
<v Speaker 3>date an old woman, Like tell me why you're you'res

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 3>in your late fifties and your age range is like

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 3>twenty two.

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 5>To thirty what so much of this stuff too, I

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:23.360
<v Speaker 5>just like stumble upon, like someone like the age rage range.

0:04:23.400 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 2>Things started because like one guy said.

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 5>Something about, oh, I was dating this woman she was

0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 5>younger than me, and then I was like picked up

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:30.560
<v Speaker 5>on it.

0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 2>It was like why do you date younger women?

0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 5>And then that just turned into like a question that

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:37.840
<v Speaker 5>I regularly asked, like what are.

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 2>Your age ranges on your apps?

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 5>And then I'm like why, And then you know, it's

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.599
<v Speaker 5>just feeds off of itself.

0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 3>I love the age range so much because like the

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:53.160
<v Speaker 3>way these guys respond and like, listen, I'm like, I'm

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.359
<v Speaker 3>I love men, and I like find I'm a twin brother,

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>like I fend find men to be really fun. Yeah,

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:06.160
<v Speaker 3>but I just was shocked at how they how they responded.

0:05:06.279 --> 0:05:08.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I just was like, I was shocked.

0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I love men too, so like people think I'm like

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 5>some angry feminists, I'm a feminist and I'm angry, but

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.919
<v Speaker 5>I'm not mad really like at men in general. Like

0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 5>I love men, but I have had, you know, as

0:05:25.839 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 5>a woman, a lot of weird experiences with them my

0:05:29.320 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 5>whole life, as we all have. And I just was

0:05:34.080 --> 0:05:39.680
<v Speaker 5>surprised by how like men treat me a certain way

0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 5>in the world with no cameras, and I was surprised

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 5>that it actually seems like amplified when the cameras are on,

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 5>Like they're almost emboldened to be even weirder and like creepier.

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.960
<v Speaker 5>So like, you know, getting hit on by a man

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.720
<v Speaker 5>is not that crazy, but the fact that they're willing

0:05:56.800 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 5>to like do that on camera. I think a lot

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:01.960
<v Speaker 5>of a lot of men too, like think I'm just

0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 5>like a kid with a camera, Like they don't really

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 5>Now they're starting to catch on because people really are.

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 2>Seeing the show, but it's a lot of people would

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:11.200
<v Speaker 2>be like.

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh, is this your school project, And I'd be like, yeah,

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 5>it's still a project.

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>That way, I'm dead you know, that is hilarious.

0:06:26.040 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 3>So I mean, I just I still just I loved

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 3>what you just said about how like being you know,

0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.679
<v Speaker 3>having the camera, like you know, it's kind of amplifying their.

0:06:35.480 --> 0:06:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Reactions and you can see that.

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:42.760
<v Speaker 3>I just feel like, you know, these online conversations like

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:44.720
<v Speaker 3>they they are that you're having.

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:45.560
<v Speaker 1>Are just like eye opening.

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you're just you are you know, You're you're

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 3>saying things that women are thinking and I just feel like,

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:53.599
<v Speaker 3>what do you think.

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.440
<v Speaker 1>Just gets under men's skin? Like what is it?

0:06:57.680 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 2>So I'm sure sure you've heard the phrase.

0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 5>A man's greatest fear is being humiliated, and a woman's

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:12.640
<v Speaker 5>greatest fear is being like, you know, murdered by a man.

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 5>And I think this somehow like taps right directly into

0:07:18.680 --> 0:07:22.960
<v Speaker 5>the vein of that is a lot of these men

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:27.400
<v Speaker 5>think I'm like intentionally trying to humiliate men, or they're

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.560
<v Speaker 5>surprised by my line of questioning that I'm coming up

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 5>to them. They think maybe, oh, this girl's going to

0:07:32.760 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 5>like flirt with me, and then I'm like, why are

0:07:35.760 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 5>you like this? And like they think it's they think

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 5>I'm trying to embarrass them, and they just something in

0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 5>them short circuits. It's not there's so many men that

0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 5>are so cool and that are in on the joke

0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:56.760
<v Speaker 5>and that they think it's so funny and they're fans

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 5>of the show, but they're not the ones that go viral.

0:08:00.400 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 5>Like I put those videos up too. I'm like, you, guys,

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.720
<v Speaker 5>there's plenty of cool guys out here just you know,

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:10.120
<v Speaker 5>taking it all in stride, but yeah, the ones that

0:08:10.160 --> 0:08:12.600
<v Speaker 5>really blow up are the ones that get super upset

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 5>and like offended by.

0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Right, how about the It's like it's I think you

0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:19.840
<v Speaker 3>have it pinned on TikTok And it's like the guy

0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:24.040
<v Speaker 3>is like, you know, just in his like late twenties

0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 3>and early thirties, and he seems to be really really

0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 3>offended by you, but then he's like smiling at you

0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.480
<v Speaker 3>and asking questions back. So I'm like, I'm like, is

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.679
<v Speaker 3>he I was like, is he flirting? Oh?

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that the guy? That's like, why the would you

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 2>ask me that? That guy? Yeah, he gets very upset. Yeah,

0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:47.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know.

0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:52.320
<v Speaker 5>Again, like it's it's it was the strangest thing because yeah,

0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:54.720
<v Speaker 5>when I walked up to him, he was totally friendly,

0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:57.640
<v Speaker 5>and then I said that, and it was like I

0:08:57.679 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 5>could see like a cloud, the storm cloud come over him,

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:05.640
<v Speaker 5>Like his whole demeanor changed and he was so filled

0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 5>with like hatred and rage towards me in that minute,

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 5>like I had really pushed something deep deep within him

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:19.240
<v Speaker 5>that So it's a little scary sometimes.

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I mean definitely, especially like you're in public and

0:09:22.000 --> 0:09:24.559
<v Speaker 3>they're just kind of like getting like all a nerve.

0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>You're like, it's just a TikTok video.

0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 3>You're like you're not trying to like short circuit him.

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.800
<v Speaker 3>What's the biggest takeaway that you've had after speaking to

0:09:44.840 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 3>so many different men, Is there just like one continuous theme,

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.400
<v Speaker 3>like what is it that they are they're they're saying?

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.600
<v Speaker 3>Because there they are saying something. I heard it many times.

0:09:56.720 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 3>I'm just wondering what are they angry? Are they just

0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:08.040
<v Speaker 3>mad about being men? Are they lonely?

0:10:09.760 --> 0:10:10.200
<v Speaker 6>Right?

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:14.480
<v Speaker 2>I think it's all of the above.

0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 7>I mean I think, yeah, I don't know where this

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:23.080
<v Speaker 7>like thing. I do think there's something to do with

0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:27.800
<v Speaker 7>like the manosphere, like these men that have started podcasts

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:31.960
<v Speaker 7>talking about how they're mad at women for whatever, for

0:10:32.000 --> 0:10:34.199
<v Speaker 7>not wanting to sleep with them, or because I think

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 7>there is, you know, some entitlement that comes with being

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:41.880
<v Speaker 7>a man and living in a patriarchal society.

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.080
<v Speaker 2>And I think.

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:54.240
<v Speaker 5>To have their place being questioned is like it's really

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.080
<v Speaker 5>messing with some people that I think thought maybe it

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.199
<v Speaker 5>was going to be easier or that they should just

0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 5>like yeah, that that life should be easier and they

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:07.679
<v Speaker 5>should get things more than they are getting them.

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.000
<v Speaker 2>But I am always like confused when a guy's like

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.040
<v Speaker 2>men don't know their place anymore. I'm like what do

0:11:14.120 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 2>you mean?

0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.480
<v Speaker 5>Just like be like just so y'all, don't I know

0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.000
<v Speaker 5>it's so hard, just like do your be cool?

0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:23.040
<v Speaker 1>Just do you?

0:11:23.320 --> 0:11:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's not about being men or women.

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:28.960
<v Speaker 5>It's just like about living your life, like why is

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:30.240
<v Speaker 5>there a place in society?

0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.319
<v Speaker 2>But basically my whole.

0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.960
<v Speaker 5>Point is I think that's kind of like a like

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.960
<v Speaker 5>a manisphere rhetoric is like men being confused by their place.

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.800
<v Speaker 4>It's like, man, do you think too?

0:11:42.840 --> 0:11:46.319
<v Speaker 3>It's because like in the workplace they're now they're being

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.040
<v Speaker 3>challenged with you know, with women and with all these

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:53.800
<v Speaker 3>different variables. And then now like you're asking this like

0:11:54.000 --> 0:11:59.520
<v Speaker 3>very this question that you know men men recognize themselves

0:11:59.600 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 3>by the cars they drive, the work that they have,

0:12:03.080 --> 0:12:04.320
<v Speaker 3>what's in their bank account.

0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:07.280
<v Speaker 4>You know, that's how they identify themselves. So do you

0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 4>think that like you're just.

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:11.640
<v Speaker 1>Like who are you? And they're like what?

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:13.640
<v Speaker 2>Right?

0:12:13.920 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>Right?

0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 2>They haven't. I mean a lot of but I don't

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.120
<v Speaker 2>think it's just men. It's people.

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 5>Like a lot of people just aren't terribly introspective. So

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 5>I think it like really throws someone off their game

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:31.400
<v Speaker 5>when you're like asking this very like open ended, kind

0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:36.480
<v Speaker 5>of abstract question and maybe they're confused, and so that's

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:40.840
<v Speaker 5>like frustrating. They just go immediately to frustration and rage

0:12:40.840 --> 0:12:44.640
<v Speaker 5>because they don't know how to answer it. But yeah,

0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 5>I think men do you know, so many people do

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.760
<v Speaker 5>define themselves sort of by their external world and what

0:12:51.800 --> 0:12:54.200
<v Speaker 5>they have and how much money they have.

0:12:54.400 --> 0:13:00.319
<v Speaker 2>And women, now are you know, we are we.

0:13:00.320 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 5>Had to work harder to get to where we are

0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.679
<v Speaker 5>and we are killing it. So I think that is

0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 5>like intimidating for some guys.

0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I have a question to you this.

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:17.360
<v Speaker 3>There's this concept of the male loneliness epidemic. Like I'm like,

0:13:17.360 --> 0:13:19.480
<v Speaker 3>wait a minute, wiremen alone, Like, what do you mean

0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 3>they're lonely?

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>Go outside? Like you're the you're guy, you know, Like, yeah,

0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:25.680
<v Speaker 1>talk to me about that. What are your thoughts on

0:13:25.720 --> 0:13:26.439
<v Speaker 1>this epidemic.

0:13:26.960 --> 0:13:31.320
<v Speaker 5>I think it's just like I think it's probably real

0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:32.120
<v Speaker 5>among some men.

0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of men.

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 5>Are lonely because they're just like they grew up just

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.320
<v Speaker 5>playing video games and they don't know how to like

0:13:37.400 --> 0:13:40.880
<v Speaker 5>interact with other people, and they have just like poor

0:13:40.960 --> 0:13:45.320
<v Speaker 5>social skills and they're spending all their time listening to

0:13:46.720 --> 0:13:50.560
<v Speaker 5>you know, andrew utate instead of like going out into

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:55.840
<v Speaker 5>the world. And meeting people, and yeah, it's it's people

0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.920
<v Speaker 5>not learning social skills. But I think people are lonely.

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean women are lonely too. Everyone's lonely. We are

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.719
<v Speaker 5>all having to learn how to live in this society

0:14:06.760 --> 0:14:09.400
<v Speaker 5>where we're like more comfortable behind a computer screen.

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:10.400
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:14:11.240 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 3>And I think that's a direct correlation from COVID. We

0:14:14.120 --> 0:14:16.400
<v Speaker 3>were alone, people were on their screens.

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Dating and apps are bigger.

0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.880
<v Speaker 4>So this podcast is all about, you know, finding love

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:22.000
<v Speaker 4>in your chapter two?

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, do you think and do you think that women

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:30.720
<v Speaker 3>should be asking men out on a date?

0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:32.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah?

0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:34.960
<v Speaker 2>I mean, yeah, I think I don't do that.

0:14:35.320 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I mean I am in my forties, so I

0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 8>guess this could be considered chapter two.

0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:50.760
<v Speaker 3>And I and well have you wait, have you been

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 3>married before?

0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:56.280
<v Speaker 5>I wasn't married, but you know I did have you know,

0:14:57.040 --> 0:14:59.760
<v Speaker 5>a lot of life changes in my thirties and kind

0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 5>of to start over in my forties. And I ran

0:15:05.640 --> 0:15:07.480
<v Speaker 5>up to my current boyfriend.

0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.840
<v Speaker 2>But that's because I was doing interviews, So.

0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:14.480
<v Speaker 1>It's really about me.

0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I was like, why.

0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Are you like this? What do you think about wine?

0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:20.280
<v Speaker 4>Do you like it?

0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:21.800
<v Speaker 1>Do you like to have a class of wine with me?

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.160
<v Speaker 1>That would be hilarious if.

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:28.360
<v Speaker 2>You know your video. I wasn't hitting on him.

0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:31.880
<v Speaker 1>He just ran up to him and were like, you're hot.

0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:36.760
<v Speaker 5>But it really works. I do think so few women

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.360
<v Speaker 5>approach men that. Now that I have like a job

0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.440
<v Speaker 5>where I approach men for a living, they love it.

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.240
<v Speaker 5>Men love being approached by a woman. I think so

0:15:47.360 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 5>many men are so afraid even like you know, interesting, cool, successful,

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:58.040
<v Speaker 5>powerful men, it's really intimidating for them to like go

0:15:58.240 --> 0:16:01.320
<v Speaker 5>up to a woman and talk to her. So women,

0:16:01.680 --> 0:16:03.960
<v Speaker 5>if you want to go up to men, you.

0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:05.680
<v Speaker 1>Can like they'll like it.

0:16:05.880 --> 0:16:09.400
<v Speaker 2>No man is going to be like, What's I.

0:16:09.400 --> 0:16:12.760
<v Speaker 3>Going to change the dynamic of the hunt, because like

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.600
<v Speaker 3>so many men talk to like, you know, when I

0:16:15.640 --> 0:16:17.640
<v Speaker 3>talked to me, I mean, I'm just say on this podcast,

0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:20.280
<v Speaker 3>and I talked to men a lot about dating as well,

0:16:21.640 --> 0:16:24.080
<v Speaker 3>and on my new show, we're talking a lot about

0:16:24.080 --> 0:16:25.080
<v Speaker 3>my dating journey.

0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.560
<v Speaker 1>And I was in Palm Beach and it was absolutely hideous.

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.760
<v Speaker 3>These men are like, hello, be nice, be nice to

0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:37.680
<v Speaker 3>me number one. Yeah, nice, Just be kind, Just be nice,

<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, that's good.

0:17:29.119 --> 0:17:30.280
<v Speaker 1>They always say touch your hair.

0:17:30.280 --> 0:17:32.360
<v Speaker 3>If people are like your hair, I'm like, yes, I'm

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:33.280
<v Speaker 3>trying to trash men.

0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:36.320
<v Speaker 2>You gotta like, yeah, like touch your mouth.

0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.280
<v Speaker 5>And you just well you can be like yeah, then

0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.080
<v Speaker 5>you start laughing, you giggle.

0:17:43.680 --> 0:17:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Exactly, winking exactly, and then.

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.439
<v Speaker 2>The men know that it's okay to talk to you.

0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:50.640
<v Speaker 2>But if you don't do that, So let's just.

0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:52.439
<v Speaker 3>Let's just run through those because this is this is

0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.879
<v Speaker 3>an audio podcast, and just tell me like, okay, so

0:17:55.040 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 3>winking is good, touching your hair is good?

0:17:57.600 --> 0:17:58.240
<v Speaker 1>What are yeah?

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.280
<v Speaker 5>So I kind of like, you know, you put your

0:18:01.440 --> 0:18:03.600
<v Speaker 5>put your head down and you kind of like look

0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:04.840
<v Speaker 5>up and you smile.

0:18:05.040 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 2>You got a smile. People need to smile more, man,

0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:10.359
<v Speaker 2>really a smile more.

0:18:10.440 --> 0:18:14.520
<v Speaker 4>But smiling smiling is really really good.

0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 3>Okay, let's talk about red flags because I think the

0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:18.879
<v Speaker 3>people think when they think of red flags, they think

0:18:18.920 --> 0:18:19.800
<v Speaker 3>of them as pink.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:25.400
<v Speaker 1>They're not pink, they're red. Red is red. Red is red?

0:18:25.880 --> 0:18:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, red as red.

0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:28.760
<v Speaker 5>But why would you even want to mess with a

0:18:28.800 --> 0:18:34.639
<v Speaker 5>pink flag? Like, no flags, No flags are good unless

0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:35.080
<v Speaker 5>it's green.

0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.520
<v Speaker 1>I know, I'm like, what are they?

0:18:38.680 --> 0:18:38.760
<v Speaker 3>Like?

0:18:39.080 --> 0:18:40.479
<v Speaker 4>So what are some of the red flags that you've

0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:41.080
<v Speaker 4>come across?

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:42.320
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so.

0:18:43.720 --> 0:18:49.920
<v Speaker 5>Lying he was obvious, but you know so many people

0:18:49.960 --> 0:18:52.199
<v Speaker 5>are like, oh I caught him in this little lie, Like,

0:18:52.600 --> 0:18:54.399
<v Speaker 5>well then what else is he lying about?

0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:59.720
<v Speaker 2>Right? Lying is not good, even like lying about age

0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:02.399
<v Speaker 2>I think is really weird.

0:19:02.480 --> 0:19:05.840
<v Speaker 5>Like I had a guy that I met on on

0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.480
<v Speaker 5>Hinge a long time a while ago, a couple of

0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:13.320
<v Speaker 5>years back, like lied about his age and then I

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 5>like found out he was older, and he was like, well,

0:19:18.359 --> 0:19:19.880
<v Speaker 5>he got defensive and he got.

0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:22.080
<v Speaker 2>Mad at me when I called him out. Yeah, someone

0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 2>getting mad at you?

0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:28.119
<v Speaker 5>Someone getting defensive defensive a red flag if anyone's like defensive.

0:19:27.600 --> 0:19:48.040
<v Speaker 6>About anything, and I agree, I agree, Like nom.

0:19:41.800 --> 0:19:43.919
<v Speaker 4>So what are like the positive things like that?

0:19:44.000 --> 0:19:47.199
<v Speaker 3>You'll be like, oh, he's saying that he's kind, And

0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:49.600
<v Speaker 3>then you're like, why is he saying that he's kind of? Like,

0:19:49.640 --> 0:19:52.240
<v Speaker 3>give me some of the things that you've you've you've

0:19:52.280 --> 0:19:58.280
<v Speaker 3>seen that like a petty positive but actually, and by

0:19:58.320 --> 0:19:59.639
<v Speaker 3>the way, after this, I would have write down a

0:19:59.640 --> 0:20:00.000
<v Speaker 3>whole list.

0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:07.440
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I think if a guy says he's kind, that's weird.

0:20:07.840 --> 0:20:11.800
<v Speaker 2>Why does he need to say it? Or like my dad,

0:20:11.920 --> 0:20:12.400
<v Speaker 2>I think he.

0:20:12.320 --> 0:20:14.360
<v Speaker 5>Gave me some advice when I was a little girl,

0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.239
<v Speaker 5>and he said, never trust anyone who says trust me.

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.960
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, you know, that's really true.

0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.239
<v Speaker 5>Like if someone, especially if someone says that unprompted, you're like,

0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:26.520
<v Speaker 5>why why are you saying that?

0:20:26.560 --> 0:20:27.919
<v Speaker 1>Why are you asking me to trust you?

0:20:28.000 --> 0:20:31.200
<v Speaker 5>Have you done anything when people try to tell you, oh,

0:20:31.240 --> 0:20:33.639
<v Speaker 5>I'm this kind of person or I do this or

0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.040
<v Speaker 5>I'm like this, like.

0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.960
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, just me just show me, like be it.

0:20:40.080 --> 0:20:44.119
<v Speaker 3>I love that and consistently be it, consistently be it

0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:46.760
<v Speaker 3>not just like oh I was nice once. No, no, no,

0:20:46.840 --> 0:20:49.320
<v Speaker 3>it's it's it's an all the time kind of thing.

0:20:49.720 --> 0:20:53.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Consistency is so crucial.

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:54.520
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:20:54.560 --> 0:20:58.000
<v Speaker 5>If somebody like is a certain way and then they

0:20:58.080 --> 0:21:00.840
<v Speaker 5>just like you see, like a glib or something like

0:21:01.080 --> 0:21:04.800
<v Speaker 5>very opposite of what of what they're portraying themselves as

0:21:05.800 --> 0:21:08.719
<v Speaker 5>run because they're just trying to hide something.

0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I love that.

0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.560
<v Speaker 3>I'm going to add cheating because cheaters are.

0:21:17.359 --> 0:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Going to cheat.

0:21:19.080 --> 0:21:21.679
<v Speaker 3>If they cheated once or if they have cheated in

0:21:21.720 --> 0:21:24.960
<v Speaker 3>the past, they're going to cheat again. I mean even

0:21:25.000 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 3>if they say they don't, they they will do things

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:33.080
<v Speaker 3>that they do not feel as qualifying actual cheating, like

0:21:33.200 --> 0:21:37.920
<v Speaker 3>emotional relationships. You know, emotional relationships are not physical, YadA, YadA, YadA.

0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:39.600
<v Speaker 1>But cheating is hard.

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:45.440
<v Speaker 2>Now yeah, hard now hard? No, Yeah, Or somebody being like.
