Is It a Hack to Have Women Enhance Their Looks?
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
And Robert Murphy, for all of his intellect, is not quite as attractive, I'm sure, to women as Josie in her prime would be to men.
Is it a hack?
Is it a cheat?
Is it a fair contest, right?
In other words, can, you know, it's the old question, can men do OnlyFans?
Well, not really, right?
Certainly not compared to how women can do it.
So, when men turn away from the worship of virtue and truth and reason and evidence and science and progress and engineering and all these sorts of things, And men turn towards the worship of women, which is sort of the modern pay-as-you-go simp culture.
What happens to society as a whole?
What happens to society as a whole?
I think it is easy to say that it does not go well.
So...
The responses are interesting because when Pearl says these women are not as attractive as you think they are, that they are faking their level of attractiveness.
And it's kind of hard to argue that.
I mean, I have, I think once or twice I put on to cover up some sort of zit or something, mostly just because I don't want people to be distracted, I think, like a couple of times over 20 years.
But for the most part, I obviously, I mean, Almost exclusively, I never put anything on my face or on my head.
I just sit down and do a show.
So I don't have any of that sort of stuff.
I've never put makeup on for professional photographs.
I've never tried to get massively flattering lighting.
I just, I mean, the last couple of photos I got done for thumbnails was done in my study against sunlight.
So anyway, I'm trying to get known, of course, one, to be known for the quality of my thoughts rather than the quality of my appearance, what matters to me.
Is to have a pleasant-sounding voice, which I think I do, rather than, say, a full head of hair, which is not particularly important.
So is it a hack?
Is it something that is an unfair competition aspect, right?
And I think that the answer is yes.
It is an unfair competition to have women fake their looks.
And it is faking their looks.
With Courtney Nill, I mean, I assume that's her with less makeup, and that's her with, I don't know if there's makeup on up there, but, you know, breast meat hanging out kind of thing.
That's just a program for men.
So what happens is, of course, if she's saying these women are faking their looks, which to some degree, of course, they are.
I mean, that we can't argue with, right?
To some degree, faking your looks is occurring.
No question, right?
May that be going to understand.
So then they say, well, how do you rank, right?
And then they have unflattering pictures of Pearl.
She was a little heavier in the past.
She has, I think, gone to the gym and lost weight and so on.
And she's a semi-pro volleyball player, so obviously very fit and so on.
So saying that Pearl is not as attractive as some of these women in makeup or not in makeup is not the point.
And, of course, it does seem kind of catty.
If the women were to say, well, yeah, I... I enhance my attractiveness because I want to get more attention from male listeners and it gets me higher views than it would otherwise.
I mean, if you were really, really good looking and you didn't have a video, you only did audio and nobody knew what you looked, I'm not sure that would be the wisest.
It would be like Brad Pitt being only a radio actor or only doing audio books and stuff like that.
I mean, nobody does that who's got that kind of looks.
Everybody knows that looks can be monetized.
And if you were to just say, yeah, I really, really enhance my looks because it helps get me more attention and, you know, I hope to do good with all of that attention and so on.
Okay, that's just honest, but it seems to be that the problem to me is the falsehood, right?
That's the problem to me, right?
That's the problem with me.
It is that people can't just be honest about it.
Yeah, I enhance my looks because it helps me get more viewers, right?
It helps me get more.
And now, you know, you can say, well, I hope to do good with all of the views that I'm getting.
I'm going to be...
Doing virtue and promoting truth and goodness and all that, but all of that, right?
That is the reality.
But saying, if Pearl is saying these women are faking their looks, and then they say, well, you're not pretty, that's not the issue.
But that is a lot of how women will have this kind of combat, is if she says you're faking your looks, and I mean, again, I don't know who this page woman is, I guess she's a golfer, and so on.
But, yeah, I mean, come on.
Like, that's faking your looks, right?
So, if women say, yeah, I'm faking my looks, gives me more views, gives me more money.
Men pay me to be pretty.
And I look prettier with makeup and I get more attention and all of that.
But that's fine.
Just be honest about it, right?
And, you know, personally, she says, I admit as well, it's not an insult.
What they're doing is fraud.
It's kind of the...
The argument, right?
Is it fraud to apply makeup and do your hair?
Is it fraud to purchase cosmetic surgeries?
No, it is not.
Well, is it fraud to apply makeup and do your hair?
Well, it's not if you say, this is not how I look, right?
Because this kind of hyper-makeup stuff...
So, here's the problem.
I mean, it's a lot of problems with it, right?
So, if men think that this is how women look, men will not be attracted to this, right?
So, what happens is, by getting all of this lighting and the hair, and this sort of bedhead stuff is like it.
So, a woman who's virtually topless, who's smiling at you with bedhead, is post-coital gaze, right?
Oh, we were great in bed last night.
Whereas this is, you know, I've got a bunch of laundry to do for the kids, right?
Nothing wrong with that, right?
But the problem is, is that by realigning what men find attractive to hyper-makeup and professional photographs and professionally done hair and, like, this stuff which takes Hours and hours and hours to do and is absolutely unsustainable in a relationship where women,
