Speaker 2 (00:17):
I don't know how true this is, but a stat
has come out today saying one in three women have
a backup man. A backup man meaning if you're in
a relationship, you have the next person in line ready
to go to if it doesn't work out with the
current one.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
Do you have that?

Speaker 3 (00:35):
No, I don't have that. I'm married.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I love my He's always been my He's been my
my plan, A, my plan, B my plan. See I
would say, though, Max, if Jimmy ever broke up with me,
my backup plan, and I have spoken about this with
my girlfriends, is to move into like a condo and
live with my best friends on the beach.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Yeah, but eventually you're going to date bloke.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
You just don't have that. No, but I don't have
a backup But you wouldn't have a backup plant. Can
you imagine getting on the radio and saying, yeah, my
backup plan is this, Yeah I do. I've actually got
a far I've got a.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Few really all over the world. Couple on the go
in thirty three percent of have a backup plan that
says to me that thirty three percent of women don't
love their partners.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
All right, so let me say this. This is where
it becomes alarming. Eight out of ten are in contact
with that backup plan, so they're already.

Speaker 1 (01:19):
So yeah, is the backup plan a locked in okay,
I'm going to go for you afterwards, or is it
a okay on the odd chance that my partner fell
off a cliff, I could turn to this person and
maybe date them in the.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I think it's both. I think where it comes from
is insecurity. So I reckon Back in the day, when
I was younger, I probably would have been like that,
going because you know, I know, being scared to be
by yourself or what if they don't like me?

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Like that kind of thing. But this was if the
shoes on the other foot. Yeah, blokes would be absolutely
ripped for that. Oh no, I know it's not a
good sense.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's an insecurity I would say, be men of the
worst men of pigs, meno cheetas.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
No, but it is about it is a bad thing.
It totally is a bad thing.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
It's just an insecurity thing.

Speaker 3 (02:03):
No, I'm not saying it's just I'm saying that's where
it would stem from.

Speaker 1 (02:06):
You have a lot of women in your friends and adelaide, Yeah,
all sorts of people.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Do you think any of them have a backup plan
right now? Not in our stage of life now, na,
So when do you get it? I reckon it would
have been.

Speaker 2 (02:17):
Well, this is that they're saying that it's actually more
common in married people than just people in relationships. This
is where I think it's weird. So fifteen percent said
that their feelings were stronger.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
For the backup man. So this is here's my theory. Yeah, totally.
Here's my theory.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
If you love two people, you go for the second
person that you fell in love with, because you never
would have fallen in love with that person if you
loved the first person.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 (02:41):
A lot of people like, oh, I've just be with
them because they're comfort but I actually love the other person.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
I feel like you.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
I feel like you can love more than one person.
You shouldn't, but you.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
Can, oh nause.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
I feel like if you're in love with your partner,
how could you love somebody else?

Speaker 3 (02:56):
Do you know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (02:57):
That you can be friends with lots of people?

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I don't know you don't have to like, that's weird.

Speaker 1 (03:01):
Maintain love, maintain say that?

Speaker 3 (03:05):
Do you like? You don't have to maintain love for
your wife? I feel like you don't quick with running
out of time and dump this.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
It doesn't have to be like a twenty four to
seven to like, I love my friends like I.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
Have a deep love for a lot of that's different.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
I don't have to maintain that the same way I
maintain the love of my wife.

Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yeah, ones I love and ones are in love?

Speaker 1 (03:25):
Right?

Speaker 3 (03:25):
Yeah? Yeah, you love you're in love with someone? Anyway.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
I would love to know from you if this is
a come out and then one and in three women
have a backup plan.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
We're not judging you. If that's what you want to do,
that's what you want to do, but we love you
a little bit. If you that's.

Speaker 2 (03:41):
Okay, you can judge. Are you the backup man? Do
you know that you're the backup man? Because quite often
apparently they're saying, the backup man loves this person.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
So who do you want to talk to you here?

Speaker 2 (03:51):
Anyone anyone involved in a backup plan, So.

Speaker 3 (03:54):
Even a girl who has one or has used one.

Speaker 1 (03:56):
Or maybe someone that's used to one. We would be
a better chance of getting someone who's like I had
a backup plan and the first one fell through.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I think what it is is you're not happy in
the relationship you're in, and you see this other person
and you'd like to be with them, but until it's it's.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
Like setting yourself up for failure. Yeah,
