What Good Men Want 00:01:28
You'd be the same if you were an attractive woman.
Come on.
Nothing magical about this.
So, the curse that is hitting modern women is one thing and one thing only.
So, the curse is they do not ask what good men want.
Now, I know what guys like.
I know what boys want.
Gay boys like me.
The Waitress is a pretty bad song, kind of hypnotic, a bit of a brain rot.
But yeah, so men want sex.
I mean, that's pretty obvious.
Men lust after women.
And again, that's a beautiful part of life, but it needs to be sort of focused in its proper area and element.
But men want sex.
That's biologically programmed.
What do good men want?
What do good men want?
If women were to organize their lives around what good men want, they'd be happy.
But when you see a woman who's, say, 40 +, desperately to settle down, a quality man looks at her and says, Are you stupid?
Like, you know women's fertility window is much shorter than men's.
You know that 35 is geriatric pregnancy.
Why Money Matters in Motherhood 00:04:39
Are you stupid?
Did you not know this?
And did you not have any other women in your life who would tell you this?
Are you surrounded by women who just don't tell you basic facts about how men age, right?
So if a woman says to herself, what does a good man want?
Well, he wants a woman who's not promiscuous.
He wants a woman who's loyal, who's moral, who has integrity, who's hardworking, and so on, and who wants kids.
And who wants kids.
Because to withhold the gift of life that's been a chain for four billion years straight to you, to withhold it from the next people because you want a new fucking video card, is trash thinking almost beyond words, almost beyond redemption.
Almost.
What does a good man want?
And if a woman says, okay, well, a good man, does he want my money?
Does a good man want my money?
Does he care if I make a lot of money?
Does a man...
And let me ask you this.
Lots of guys here.
Lots of guys here.
Have you ever cared about a woman's income if you want to have a wife and kids?
As a man, right?
Have you ever cared about a woman's income if you want a wife and kids?
I mean, to ask the question is to answer it.
Of course you don't care about a woman's income if you want a wife and kids.
Why not?
Why not, you selfish bastards?
Why don't you care about a woman's income if you want to have a wife and kids?
Why would it not matter to you?
Somebody says, no, they don't care.
The less she makes, the better.
She won't settle down if she makes too much.
And that's part of it, for sure.
For sure.
I care about her debt, if any.
Yeah, for sure.
For sure.
Yeah, it makes sense.
But that's part of her income, right?
If she makes $100,000, but she's a couple of hundred thousand dollars in debt, then she's not making any money, right?
It's a nice positive during the interim before she has kids, but no.
Right.
So the more money a woman makes, again, there's exceptions.
This is a general trend.
The more money a woman makes, the less happy she's going to be as a mother because she's always going to sit there and say, because, you know, there's times when being a parent is kind of dull, right?
No question, right?
Babies, toddlers, I mean, they're a lot of fun, but, you know, it's a little repetitive.
And so if she was some high-powered lawyer and then she's wiping the fifth diaper of the day, is she going to be content and happy?
No.
Because she's going to sit there and say, I used to do legal briefs and I used to argue in front of the senior courts and now I'm just wiping butts and singing Baby Shark all day.
she's going to be discontented.
And she's going to think of all the money she's not making.
And it's going to be very tough for her to take time off because she's invested so much in becoming a high-powered XYZ accountant, doctor, executive, lawyer, whatever.
She's put so much time and effort into that, that if she quits, she's going to feel ridiculous.
Which is why, I mean, I'm telling you, man, this is going to be absolutely shocking for women who haven't really thought about this stuff, and I'm sure most of you guys have.
It's actually going to be shocking for women that when I was a young, successful man, and tell me if you haven't experienced this, It's going to blow people's minds.
When I was a young, successful man, I decided to make some decent coin in the software field.
Did I care?
Did I care if the woman was just a barista at a coffee shop?
Did I care if the woman was a cashier at a supermarket?
If she seemed young, positive, pleasant, and attractive, did I care?
Did I care?
It's kind of almost incomprehensible for women.
It's almost incomprehensible for women that we don't care.
We don't care.
If you see that woman, you get that particular click, right?
You see that woman.
And you get that thunderbolt, that lightning, that click, that chemistry, whatever you want to call it, you don't care.
You don't care.
Again, a little incomprehensible to women, but when you're a young man, successful young man, you don't have to be successful, but let's just say reasonably successful, you make enough to maybe start a family, right?
To a young man, you look at that really pretty young woman behind the counter and you say, ooh, If I take her away from all this, it's kind of a dead-end job.
A Young Man's Click 00:00:23
I take her away from all of this.
It's kind of a dead-end job.
I take her away from all of this.
I set her up in a nice house.
I fill her up with babies.
Give her a purpose.
She's going to be thrilled.
She's going to be thrilled.
Because what is a man saying to a woman?
A man is saying to a woman, you're going to have to give all this up.
You're going to have to give all this up because I want you to fill you up with babies.
