| All right, let's see here. | |
| Hi, Steph, says someone. | |
| Mr. M. My best friend is sleeping with prostitutes, cheating on his wife. | |
| No kids involved. | |
| Ten years together. | |
| All right. | |
| Going through the intro to philosophy, you still look great, man. | |
| Well, thank you. | |
| I appreciate that. | |
| The cameras have gotten higher resolution as I've gotten more craggly. | |
| But I also weighed 30 pounds more back then, so I appreciate that. | |
| Thanks. | |
| So, your best friend is sleeping with prostitutes, cheating on his wife, no kids involved, 10 years together. | |
| The fuck are you doing with such a trash planet in your orbit? | |
| Like, what are you doing? | |
| What, your best friend? | |
| This is the best guy you can come up with? | |
| Male friendship in particular is based on strength, loyalty, and virtue. | |
| And this guy has nothing. | |
| He can't resist his impulses. | |
| He has no loyalty to his wife. | |
| And he's not virtuous. | |
| I mean, he's a disease magnet that's going to infect his wife. | |
| Or he's going to get beaten up. | |
| Or the Johns are going to follow him home because he's got enough money for prostitutes and rob his house like he's putting his wife in danger, both medically and physically. | |
| So, 2025 is my year of bluntness. | |
| In fact, I'm just going to be blunt. | |
| If your best friend is whoring around on his wife, Then your friends suck and you suck. | |
| What the living hell are you doing with such a trashy human being in your orbit? | |
| You realize he's a shield that keeps all decent people away. | |
| Because if I met you at a party, right, some dinner party or whatever, we just had a meetup on Friday, which was great fun. | |
| You can ask any questions if you want about that. | |
| It was absolutely fantastic to meet everyone. | |
| We had a lovely walk and my daughter was a tour guide. | |
| We managed to find a restaurant with a round table, so we all got to sit across from each other. | |
| There's a giant round table. | |
| It was just fantastic. | |
| And we went for coffees and walked some more, and it was just a wonderful, wonderful evening. | |
| Great to meet all of the listeners and see all of the relationships that have come out of the show. | |
| It's absolutely wonderful to see. | |
| So, if I met you, and I'm not saying, obviously, I'm some paragon, but, you know, just in general, if I met you and you told me this story, I'd back away. | |
| Honestly, I would have absolutely nothing to do with you in any social context. | |
| Because that's just trash, man. | |
| That's just complete trash. | |
| He's giving money to criminals. | |
| He's participating in semi-exploitation or exploitation of women. | |
| He's putting his wife at risk. | |
| He's a pathological liar. | |
| This is just a monster. | |
| What the fuck are you doing hanging around with such a trashy human being? | |
| Because that decision... | |
| It tells me everything I need to know about your moral judgment and what you're willing to put up with and what you're willing to support and your eagerness to have someone like that in your life. | |
| Why would any decent person have anything to do with you if this is your social circle? | |
| Alright, somebody says, Hi Steph, just wanted to say I have been finding your content extremely helpful recently, particularly around negotiating and how it is actually extra effort. | |
| Oh, good, thank you. | |
| Thank you, I appreciate that. | |
| Should I lose contact with such people even if he is my best friend? | |
| Cutting off this guy is not going to solve the problem of why you have someone like this in your life in the first place. | |
| But I wouldn't have anything to do with anyone like this. | |
| Like, not in a million years. | |
| I would view this as a leprosy-covered, pustule-sword person want to give me a big squishy hug in his tighty-whities. | |
| I would have absolutely nothing. | |
| I would be revolted and repulsed, and I would feel visceral spinal revulsion at such a person, and I would move town if they moved next door. | |
| I think Steph said it best. | |
| Women have been intentionally deceived into thinking the second half of their life will be anything like the first half. | |
| Yeah, I mean, I don't know if these are trolls or engagement farms or whatever, like all the women who are like, I'm 43. I have a good job. | |
| I cook. | |
| I clean. | |
| I have a nice house. | |
| Why don't men want to date me? | |
| Why no datey? | |
| Why no date for men? | |
| And most at home math was like, well, because you're 43. You're 43. Men date for eggs. | |
| Love exists. | |
| Marriage exists. | |
| Hormones exist. | |
| Lust exists. | |
| Sexual organs exist. | |
| For the purpose of children. | |
| Everything's the cosmic dance to introduce the sperm and the egg. | |
| That's it. | |
| That's it. | |
| It's all it's about. | |
| Women have no intrinsic value. | |
| Men have no intrinsic value. | |
| On the dating market, it's all about fertility and babies. | |
| And yes, I know, there are people who can't have children and blah, blah, blah. | |
| Who cares? | |
| Doesn't matter. | |
| We build roads for cars. | |
| Doesn't mean that bikes can't use them. | |
| It just means that they're not built for bikes. | |
| So, I don't know if it is... | |
| Well, no, you look great for 43. You look fantastic. | |
| No, don't care. | |
| Don't care. |
