Questions Men Have About Their Own Lives

Time Text
I did a, this is all very conscious, and I'll get into sort of what I've been doing over the last couple of days.
But I was asking men, I didn't ask, I asked people as a whole, what's the worst job you ever had?
99% of them were men who had the most appallingly, horrendously horrible jobs, and there weren't any women.
Because, you know, you've seen these absolutely end of civilization day in the life of videos, you know, like women getting up, yawning and stretching, and you're having a protein smoothie and then going to work, opening up a laptop, doing a couple of meetings, having lunch on the balcony, free coffee.
And it's just like, oh my God, you know, I mean, I'm sure most of the men here have had really, really tough jobs, and it's really, really not the case.
Only fans and other online pornographic or pornographic adjacent sites are available to women to make money, although the majority of women make very little money on it, but there's a small number who make a huge amount.
I'm looking at you, Sophie Rain, though I've never really looked at you, Sophie Rain.
But how does that feel as a man that you don't even have that?
Obviously, fairly declassé option to go and make money.
Men, do you see a lot of homeless women?
No.
Why?
Because homeless women can go and have sex with a man and get a roof over their head.
Homeless men really can't do the same thing.
How about men's shelters?
I talked to the great and courageous Erin Pitsy many, many years ago, who opened up the first homeless man's shelter for men fleeing domestic violence, and feminists attacked her.
And I don't just mean online.
So how does that work, right?
How much mentorship as you as a man getting from older men?
How does that mean fathers are significantly absent from the home?
And even if they're home, a lot of times they're workaholics in part to meet the expectations of their wives so they don't get divorced and lose half their stuff and most of their kids or most of their time with their kids.
A 2019 survey found that 45% of young men lack a mantra that they trust.
And how is that void filled?
Well, I think we all know how that works, right?
So young men are overrepresented in low-wage, unstable gig work.
60% of gig workers are male.
This is per a 29 BLS report.
Educational system, see, what happened was, I think it was in the early 1970s, Duke Power case, the U.S. government said you're not allowed to use IQ tests as a way of seeing if people will be competent at complicated tasks, even though IQ tests are far better than any HR department could ever be in figuring out who's going to be good at working at complicated tasks.
There's nothing better than the IQ test, not allowed for reasons that we've talked about or I've talked about many years ago.
So because you can't just use a simple IQ test, you wouldn't have to take one for each employer, just take one at an accredited agency that's stamped, and you could then take it around because you're not allowed to use an IQ test, you have to use a four-year, quarter-million dollar, absolute waste of time and destroyer of liver and non-STD riddled genitals called higher education.
So higher education is a giant proxy for the IQ test, but given that the IQ test is very, very cheap and very, very quick, you get to go into massive debt to pay for your own indoctrination.
And even more, if you're a woman, women hold the majority of household debt.
Women hold the majority of student loan debt.
And this again, did you check the math?
Again, not blowing stereotypes out of the water here as a whole.
So women are constantly told not to settle, which means that their expectations have been blown into the stratosphere.
And women automatically get the subsidy in dating of sex.
Men don't, for the most part.
What that means is, to use the sort of crude sexual market value sign, what that means is that a woman who's attractive at a level five, like an average woman, nothing wrong with it.
Everyone's the bell curve, nothing wrong with it.
Some men have hair, and then there's me.
So a woman who's a five can have a very short-term relationship with a guy who's an eight or a nine, probably not a 10, and she can sleep with him.
So she can bounce from dinner to dinner as a booty call and a foodie call, and she can date men far more attractive than she is if she offers them sexual access.
Men cannot do that.
A five man cannot go to a nine woman and say, buy me dinner and I'll sleep with you.
It's not going to happen.
It's not going to happen.
So women have this constant ego boost, right?
Men's weakness is status.
Women's weakness is vanity.
Women have this constant ego boost and they get imaginarily pair bonded with the alphas, right?
You know the phenomenon.
It's called the alpha widow.
The alpha widow is a woman who's been able to sleep with top-tier men in terms of attractiveness, not necessarily moral qualities, but in terms of attractiveness and status.
The average woman has now been able to sleep with top-tier men and therefore she thinks she can have a relationship and marry a top-tier man, which is not the case.
Not the case at all.
Not the case, like the guy with an unpleasant personality who wants, a lot of people want to hang out with him because he's got a yacht.
But if he doesn't have the yacht, he's going to find out who his real friends are, and it's not going to be as high a number as he thinks it is.
So what happens is when a five-man goes to a five-woman, she's staring up the whole ramp of sexual market value.
Again, for those of you who don't know, you're new to the conversation, thank you.
Welcome.
I appreciate your patience as I go through these issues.
I was speaking at men's rights conferences like 15 years ago, bomb and death threats, the whole sheban.
So I've been talking about all of this mismatch in social market value, the sexual subsidy for 15 plus years.
So you got the five woman is staring at the nine guy because she can have sex with him.
Therefore, she thinks she can marry him.
She's the five is staring at the nine guy.
And then some other five guy comes along and she's like, that's F. And it's like, no, no, that fits.
Now, the way that the sexual marketplace developed was it was supposed to be real short, baby.
Like Danny DeVito, like real short.
18, maybe 19.
You got six to 12 months, you got to pick.
Your looks match, your status match, your sexual market value match.
