Clouded By "Beauty Vision" - SFTS82

=== SNIPPETS FROM THE SUMMIT === Okay, so first off I'm not about to go off on a rant about how women can't be trusted. Far from it. Instead, this is about human nature in general. There are lots of areas of life where we'll keep allowing ourselves to get lied to rather than facing cognitive dissonance for what it is. Obviously, this can mess things up for us in this life. Nowhere is this phenomenon more dangerous than when it comes to our relationships with women. How does "hot girl privilege" leave us "clouded by beauty vision"? Even if we gain the wisdom and maturity to stop making lame excuses for being lied to, how do we 'trust and verify' with due diligence without descending into total cynicism? https://mountaintoppodcast.com/substack

Episode Transcript

(00:01):
You're listening to Snippets from the Summit with your host Scott McCaig.
All right, how's it going gentlemen, this is your main man Scott McKay from X and YCommunications Coming at you again with another snippet from the summit today I want to
talk to you guys about something that maybe you've thought about before or maybe youhaven't but either way It's an important point to get across Here's an important aspect of

(00:27):
human nature if there's someone apparently Respectable or credible in other words yourespect this person
or you like this person and you are inclined to believe this person and this person willtell you the lies you want to hear, we'll gladly believe them.
This can take place in the medical profession.

(00:49):
You know, you can go to a doctor and they'll tell you, hey, everything's all right.
Or you know what?
Yes, there definitely is something wrong with you because even though you're some sort ofhypochondriac, I'm going to treat you.
I'm going to give you meds.
I'm going to give your kids meds.
Somehow they're in cahoots with you in a way that makes you want to believe them becausethey're going to help you or they're going to serve you in some way.

(01:12):
Even if they're lying to you and you can basically follow the money in many of thesesituations, especially here in the good old US of A, it doesn't matter whether they're on
your side, whether they're going to help you or hurt you.
If you want to believe them, if you want to respect them, if you want to find themcredible, you will.

(01:32):
You'll find a reason to.
It can happen in any professional circle.
You may have a trusted mechanic who this whole time has been fleecing you, but you don'twant to be proven wrong and having trusted them so many years, even if someone close to
you is saying, Hey, you know, maybe you could do better.
That doesn't sound right to me.
You won't fact check that person.
won't even challenge them because you want to believe them.

(01:55):
You want to find them credible.
You want them to still lie to you because it protects you.
It protects your opinion of them.
It protects you.
uh, in saving face against any accusations that you were foolish and how you spent yourmoney or who you chose to fix your car.
We see it happen in politics all the time.
Of course, show me a person who believes that their governor, their president, theirCongress person, their mayor can do no right or do no wrong.

(02:22):
And I'll show you someone who's probably been brainwashed.
It can happen with our religious leanings.
In other words, Hey, you know what?
I've been raised to believe this my whole life.
It's something that I have basically believed in my whole life and even in the face ofperhaps some sort of cognitive dissonance, I'm still going to cling to it and choose to

(02:44):
believe it.
I talk to guys all the time who don't believe what they say they believe and it'saffecting their character.
Now, if you're a man of faith, like I am, you're going to need to know what you believeand why you believe it.
Christian circles that's called apologetics.
You're able to defend your faith.
And yes, gentlemen, you know what?

(03:07):
This syndromic effect of respecting and or believing someone who's actually lying to youcan absolutely affect your relationships with women.
Hey, call it hot girl privilege like you may have seen and heard about elsewhere.
My term for it is being clouded by beauty vision.

(03:28):
But when a woman looks amazingly good to you, you know, and or the sex with her is amazingor you know what?
You may also want to lump onto that pile.
There's something she brings to the table like a rich daddy or you know, her own multiplesix figure income or something like that.
you may want to believe everything she tells you and ignore every red flag that's comingyour way because you know, it's kind of like you're covering your ears and going la la la.

(03:57):
You just don't want to hear it.
gentlemen in any of these situations, medical, professional, political, religious, and yesindeed in your relationships with women, if you ignore red flags, if you allow yourself to
engage in this cognitive dissonance where you cling to a belief that has already beenproven not to be true, then what you're doing is you're being immature and you're not

(04:23):
being wise.
And I'll tell you what, there's nothing more anti-masculine than
lack of wisdom due to immaturity.
And as well, hopefully needless to say, each and every one of these situations I'vedescribed, they're going to rack up massive losses for you unless you nip them in the bud
before any of that damage can happen.

(04:45):
Gentlemen, believe your lying eyes, test and approve everyone you encounter who would wantto work with you in some way or enter into any kind of relationship with you of any kind,
because that's
how we as men should roll.
Hey, trust and verify.
Those are always the two key verbs in this context.
