Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast today.
Women don't need men as much as men need women.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
I believe it.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
I totally believe this.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah, And you know, you see all these stats about
when marriages break up and all of a sudden, the
guy is worse off and the woman thrives.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
They do. And so this has come out from a
couple of psychologists at the University of Toronto. They found
that single women are happier than single men, and every
single measurement they've done, there's nowhere that women are worse
off than single guys.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
I've also read the biggest determinant to a happy marriage
is the guy not being an extra child. That is
the biggest marker of whether or not our relationship will
succeed or fail.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
If you having to be looked after.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
You want the guy to stand up. You want the
guy to step up. You want the guy to have
his own life as well and not be so dependent
and also help out a lot of it. That's what
I imagine. You know, don't be there, don't be that
food dependent, you know, or fourth dependent. It might be
there was a little bit yeah, married women as well. Okay,
so we know that single women thrive without single guys.
Women don't need guys. Okay, what about relationships? You right again,

(01:10):
they're a little bit women who are married, and they
found that relationships are less beneficial for women than men.
Guys are great from relationships, but women actually drags them
now and the bag.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
I reckon, this is a w sword. I reckon at
the start of a relationship, I reckon the female is
keen on the relationship, and I reckon it fades over time,
we eventually wear them down to the point you know
what I mean. And then I think later in life,
guys need the companionship where the women need it less.
So I reckon there's almost like a power shift as

(01:42):
relationships go through time.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
You probably might be some women who are in love
with the thought of being in love and they're scared
to be alone.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
But no, I think it's more than that. I think
it's evolution. I think there's that whole that binding thing.
You know that women crave security and stability for nest.
I think it's within our evolution. And then I think
guys are less committed to that because Obviously it's about
spreading the seed, you know, earlier, early days, but then

(02:09):
later on in the relationship. I think men lead, they
lean on that kind of nuturing nature of women, and
then later in life they're like sort of out yourself,
you know, because they no longer crave that as much.
So I think this whole thing is a product of evolution.
Correat me if I'm wrong, and they probably will be.
People have very different.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Views on them, maybe, but I think it's also I mean,
you look, even the very base level of us, women
are better at making friends than guys, and they've proven
that time and time again. The most lonely people in
the world are guys as they get older.

Speaker 3 (02:35):
No, I have three friends now, you know. I have you, Tony,
and I have my wife. Oh, a few people on
my street that I like. But all my old friends
I don't ever see them anymore. I'm terrible at staying
in touch, and I think guys are killing you.

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Guys are I'm bad. I have literally put in my
diary now boys week in and then it's like two
years overdue. Yeah, and we're doing it this year and
I can't wait to be fantastic. But women, they.

Speaker 3 (02:59):
Come are you You're my last guy mate, all.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
Right, so you come along with it and we go.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
You love it.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
So the thing is my wife, Well, guys will have
girl nights out, they'll have girl dinners and things, and
I think that's fantastic and you need that in life.
But you guys don't do this, do you know why? Though?

Speaker 3 (03:15):
I think, Well, in my and a more kind of
nuclear kind of family, I come to work, so I
get that socialization. Where Sarah is in house jail, so
she craves that that relationship, all those relationships outside. She
wants to get away from the house, get away from
the kids, and go and see a real human you
know what I mean. We get that interaction. So we

(03:35):
we're socializing a little bit more at work. If your
wife is staying a little bit more in that situation,
you're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Yeah, But generally speaking, women are way bitter at making
and nurturing and nurturing and maintaining those relationships with their friends.
So in life, this is the Toronto psychologists from the
universities have come out saying that in every single measure,
single women are happier than single men. Are you over
your single guy? And you think back to your single
guy days. Thought you were really happy, right, but there
are probably some days you woke up game went a

(04:01):
bit lonely.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Yeah, yes, it's kind of When I was young, I
always wanted to go for a nice Sunday night, right.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
See there's something in there, right, I mean you had
them on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for the Sunday night.
Maybe just end this here, it's enough.
