According to an article from *Cosmopolitan*, doomscrolling—endlessly consuming negative content on social media—can erode hope in dating by amplifying fears of rejection, betrayal, or failure. This behavior fosters a pessimistic outlook, making women feel more guarded and less open to authentic connections. Social media platforms and dating apps, while designed to connect people, often exacerbate these challenges.

For instance, a 2021 *Guardian* article notes that online dating can leave women feeling less happy, less likely to find long-term partners, and more vulnerable to negative experiences, such as sexual violence.

Similarly, a 2023 *New York Post* study highlights that couples who meet through dating apps often report lower relationship satisfaction and stability, partly due to societal stigma around online-formed relationships.

Additionally, a Reddit discussion suggests that the overwhelming volume of matches on dating apps can distort women’s perceptions, creating unrealistic expectations or decision fatigue.

Research from *PsyPost* (2024) offers a counterpoint, indicating that couples who openly discuss their online-initiated relationships may experience better outcomes, suggesting communication as a potential remedy.

However, the broader psychological toll is significant: a 2024 *Therapist.com* study links dating app use to higher levels of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress.

Dating advice for women navigating this space includes setting boundaries on app usage, prioritizing in-person interactions, and critically evaluating online content to avoid internalizing negative narratives.

By fostering self-awareness and focusing on intentional dating practices, women can counteract the hope-diminishing effects of social media and dating apps, cultivating optimism for meaningful relationships.

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Podcasting since two thousand and five.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
This is the King of Podcasts radio network, kingo Podcasts
dot com.

Speaker 1 (00:08):
I had two girls ask me for my phone number?
What's up with that?

Speaker 3 (00:17):
We're all a little depraved and debaucherous. Here is the
King of Podcasts.

Speaker 1 (00:23):
Yes I am, and that's the name of the show,
and that's who I am. King of Podcasts. Here with you.
Welcome you to the program King of Podcasts dot com.
Where you can find the show a lot of places,
starting off with kingo Podcasts dot Com of course, and
then of course on Apple, podcast, Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, iHeartRadio,
all major podcast platforms, of course, the YouTube channel at

(00:45):
King of Podcasts. A lot of places to go for that.
So I just kind of give the toying. I don't
know if there was anything more than just being platonic
about two different women that I've talked to, actually small talk,
whether it's got at the grocery store or whether it's
at the movie theater. Well, something happened where I was

(01:10):
asked for my phone number. I mean, yeah, I'm not
gonna go take too much serious to listen to it.
I mean it's nice to be thought of, like well
for something But the thing is, it's what I used
to do regularly. I would go and try to find
my way to go and get a couple numbers from
a girl because I was trying to set up dates.

(01:31):
And I tried really hard, man, And I'll tell you what.
I was working so hard to try to make something
happen out of any possible dating that I did, because
I cast my net wide. I would set up dates
as much as possible and hope that something would come
up and then one of these days would stick, but
never to happen. That was in my twenties and in

(01:53):
my thirties, change things up, and yeah, look now I
could have done something where the girls I tried to approach,
I could have gone after ones that were I was considering,
and I was already put myself in the point where
saying they're out of my league. But the thing was,
I should have not thought that way. And maybe it's

(02:15):
just something about social media that just makes me have
to go and talk about the subject tonight, about seeing
women struggling right now to date, because social media has
not helped out at all the expectations the delusion has
come across has really made a big change and there's
a lot of studies about it, a lot of reports

(02:35):
have been talking about it as well, and everything since
COVID has been reports pretty recordly about women not feeling happy,
a pessimistic outlook, women feel more guarded, less open to
authentic connections. It wasn't like this before social media. It
wasn't like this before dating apps. And I'm just saying

(02:56):
to myself when I said the dating game should come back,
said that's a while back, remember, And I'll said to myself, well,
maybe that can happen still again, I don't know, but
there's something going on where I don't feel like anybody
wants to go and try anymore make the attempt for that,
And that's a big problem. Do women need to be

(03:17):
the ones to do the initiating of the contact or
what is it that has to be done. Are they
just forgetting how to interact in person and realize that
it's not hard for a women to go ahead and
have somebody approach them, and you can do the work
of filtering out the guys you don't want to talk to,

(03:40):
because most importantly, if you're not saying no to somebody,
that's something wrong. You should be in the normal process.
It's not necessarily have to be bitchy or angry or
taking out your frost strations of dating and relationships with

(04:03):
somebody that's talking to you. Let's want to go and
say hello, nothing wrong with just a woman saying and guys,
you need to go and tolerate this as well. You
need to tolerate this. Ask the girl out if there's
somebody that you want to go out with when they
tell you know, move on, move along. Pretty simple. It's
not that easy for some people. And you know, with

(04:23):
the way that some men are growing up now and
not being told how to date properly and not even
being as masculine as can be to realize, okay, she
shut me down, I'll move on to the next. And
even if there are some people that are getting together,
it's like some people are just getting together just hopefully

(04:46):
to see something happen, but there's not a real connection there,
and toxicity from the initial contact begins, and then you
don't want to get yourself out of it because you
don't like the idea of being alone. So I don't
know what is the answer, but it's been ongoing subject
and when I look at things, I just say to myself, Well,
what can you do now to change this all up?

(05:08):
So there's a story from Cosmopolitan that comes up about this,
and they bring up the story. So Jules Montgomery is
a content creator twenty eight years old, and about a
year ago she put a TikTok video up that has
over one point four million views, asking what did I
do wrong? What's wrong with me? We're gonna just play
the clip. Here's what she says. This is Julia G.

(05:29):
Monty on TikTok says.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
It's gonna be okay, but no one really knows that.
That's just what you say. I just feel like it's
a little bit unfare. I'm so overweiting, Like, what is
it gonna be my term? What did I do wrong?
The thing is, I don't even want to be getting
married or having kids right now, but I'm just starting
to get nervous. What is wrong with me? I don't

(05:55):
know why it's so easy for some people. I just like,
I'm never gonna find the person if I have a person,
and I don't want to sit around swiping on fucking
dating apps and going on these first dates where you
just sit down and you're like, let's see if we
like each other. It just feels so forced. I don't
want to be alone forever. I feel like we're playing
musical chairs, and if I don't spend time on it

(06:15):
right now, then I'm gonna be the last one standing
up when everyone sits down and everyone's gonna get married
and start having kids, and then I'm just gonna be
like the last single person and no one is gonna
have time for me. Like I didn't have a bad childhood.
It wasn't like super traumatic, but then like, if it
wasn't beauty culture that messed me up and made me

(06:38):
afraid to like date and take risks, then what is it?
Like Why am I such a pussy? I just feel
like I'm always working so hard on something. I'm always
working toward a goal, Like when is it gonna be
my turn to like fall in love and relax and
like chill. Even with content.

Speaker 2 (06:55):
Content has been so fucking cool over the past few months,
but I still feel like I'm in a place where
I have like such an engaged community that I can relax,
Like I'm still trying to figure out what people want
to see from me, and that's so consuming, and when
stuff doesn't do well, it just feels like my life
isn't interesting enough. I always used to say that, like,

(07:17):
how can you even record if you're that upset?

Speaker 3 (07:19):
I don't like it boasts.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
There's a theory I have about all this, So hear
me out. For some of the young women out here
in the audience, it's listening to the program. First of all,
bless your hearts. I think all of you are beautiful,
wonderful inside it out because you were considerate enough to
go and listen to my program, and I thank you

(07:44):
for that. I'm still amazed that I do get a
younger following that listens to this program or finds the
YouTube channel and reads the captions. I really do and
through my own social experiment through Uber, when I guess
when I just go ahead and examine the women I've
had that have driven with me on Uber and they're

(08:07):
going wherever. There's one thing I noticed that with some
of the women that I notice, how often do you
have of the women that are single here independent? You
are go get her, You're trying to make something for yourself.
You're modern and you don't want to go to the
rich a round of becoming a housewife or a mother
right away how many of you are invited to weddings

(08:32):
and you get together and you do the bachelorette party,
but really it's like the bachelorette parties for that, but
it's really not the wedding. How many of you friends
have you had that have gotten married early and then
you kind of lose track with them because they now
have their life, They have their husband, they have their kids,
and time with them doesn't come up so much. Because

(08:55):
how often do you have enough girlfriends around that are
also in the same boat as you that they're not
looking to get married and just to live the life
out Like there's a lack of fulfillment there. And I
can understand where women want to have their career minded
approach and how they want to go ahead and dissent
with themselves while they're young and they're carefree and they're

(09:17):
going to be adventures. They can go and do whatever
they want. But this young lady right here, late twenties,
she's starting to fill Maybe she doesn't know if it's
just loneliness or it's just you know, the biological clock.
Because the other thing is for some of these women
that don't want to have kids, I mean, do they

(09:38):
want to be involved in the whole thing of having
the wedding day. Let me ask you this too. When
we've gone through the various time of social media and
dating apps and the more common occurrence of men not

(09:59):
being able to go ahead approach a woman, it came
around the same time that romantic comedies, whether they were
on Netflix or they were in theaters, stop being made.
Like you don't see those much anymore. And that's one
of those things we all talked about. You know, you
look at whatever kind of movie is, like, whether it's
Pretty Woman or whether it's Someone like You that just

(10:20):
came out last year. There's not a lot of those
kind of movies. Not a lot of that romping romance
kind of stuff. I mean, did it all gets shut
down on fifty stades of great I don't know. But
those kind of movies, the hopeless romantic kind of stuff
that women if they didn't feel good from dating and
they went to on a date, or they just not
wanted to go out and they wanted to be single,

(10:41):
they want to stay home. Netflix at you'll go find
some rom coms to watch, because it would make you happy,
make you sad, make you laugh, give you all the
emotions and it would touch into a woman's heart and
sometimes that would kind of like just encourage I don't
know sex and the city that I cause it. I mean,

(11:01):
was it culture that change its all? But I think
part of it is social media has definitely changed it
because content creation. One of the things I've noticed as
well is that when I'm looking at people that are
on social media, like there used to be when I
was younger, I had that kind of feeling of if
I saw a young pretty girl and I was very

(11:24):
interested in her, like say somebody that was an actress actress,
and I would like watch their movies or watch their
TV shows. Once they found somebody in a relationship, I
kind of lost interest in them because they were just
not available. But it was the normal course of action
where women will go ahead and find a man and
then they will not be on the market. They would
not be available. And guys, if you see a woman

(11:47):
that's out there that's been single for a significant amount
of time, chronically single, then you start thinking, well, she's
a red flag, something wrong with her. So guys are
not approaching, and women you could see they're not approaching
because they're scared. There's some insecurity issues. No is because
if you're single and single for a long time, maybe

(12:09):
there's something that's there that is gonna cause a red flag.
It's the same thing for guys. I mean, guys I
don't think can get that kind of stereotype as much
because guys are much more common to be single. I
have a group of guys right now that I hang
out with foot to watch football with right and I think,
what three of them are married out of like fifteen,

(12:30):
three are married. The other ones, I think one has
a girlfriend and he's been with it for a while.
The others are like me, single. I don't think they're
with anybody right now. It's just what it is and
it doesn't matter, like nobody's like, you know, in some
kind of bum mood or whatever. We don't think about
the fact that women like that. And I mean we're

(12:52):
all hanging out at a twin Peaks and just hanging
out like watching chicks. But it's not like we're being
enamored over the girls and all. It's you're just like, okay,
we're just it's not as important as it was anymore.
And when we're not having the reason to go and
chase after women for the sex. Yeah, the sex is
not even that important anymore. It feels like that too.
I don't understand, but that's what I feel like, that

(13:16):
there's people that don't feel interested in having sex anymore
because they just don't feel horny. They don't feel like,
you know, go in, you know, bub buggles with somebody else.
They're not something's wrong with that there, and there's something
about women that they're not going through the issue of.
I mean, guys obviously sexist on the minds. Let's just
be honest. For anyone that always says, oh, you just

(13:37):
said it for sex, just admit it. It's always been
like that. I should have said that years ago, but
I always kept trying to be like the high and
mighty and try to say, oh, I'm not like everybody else.
Now they're gonna be You're gonna be that pigeonholed anyway,
it doesn't matter. Just accept it. But then it's like,
we also don't stop to just realize that even if

(13:59):
we're going through this right here, that we need to
go ahead and rest our laurels and some of our
expectations and tamper those down when we find and confront
someone that we really like and say, man, love is important,
and the money or the success or whatever I have,
maybe that it's not as important, Maybe because I found

(14:21):
somebody that some right they make me feel a certain way,
and maybe I should can stop and start thinking about
the fact that the way I have things going on
right now, you know, I mean, if you feel the
loneliness and it hurts, but if you have someone that's
around and you don't notice them clearly trying to go

(14:42):
ahead and approach you or trying to go and say
something to you, This young lady, I'm sure would have
some guys she probably has in her friend zone, and
you hear that all the time too. Guys are being
in the friend zone. But there are also guys probably
in the friend zone now these days more than anything
that because they know the woman's just being modern independent
and she just wants to be a woman. Fine, then

(15:03):
they're just gonna take advantage of whatever connection she has
or something else. I don't know if there's as much
simping in person as there is online, because simping online
is rampant, but in person, I don't know if this
serves that much. So online we're if we're trying to
contact with somebody, whether it's dating apps or whatever it is.

(15:26):
There's the benefits that women are being taught and being
indoctrinated all the time, that they should go boy sober
or delete dating apps for good, and that concentrators share
videos where they ask if it's their turn to find
their person, how they feel like they're part of a
romantic revolution that they didn't sign up for, how the

(15:47):
bar is in hell, and how everyone wants only casual situationships.
I was talking to my brother yesterday. We were moreally
weekend and we got together, cook out, pool whatever, and
one of the things we talked about was the fact
that the music we're listening to was EDM. You know,
we're listening to a pool side And I was thinking
about the fact of how the clubs had changed so much,

(16:08):
and there was all the commentary about the clubs. The
nightclubs used to be. You get close to somebody as
ridiculously close on the dance floor with somebody, bump and
grind with them. And now you have table service. You
got the VIP table service, the tables all over the nightclub,

(16:28):
covering the nightclub so that the dance for is not
even danceable, and nobody is getting together and hooking up,
so the nightclub experience is done and everybody's together where
girls will be along with their group of girls, and
makes it much more difficult the fact that women will
not want to be seen or notice or want to

(16:50):
be approached if they're alone, as if it's like some
kind of protection or something like that they need a
blue light next to them to go ahead and hit
emergency because they feel like there's this culture that something's
gonna happen to them and they're going to get assaulted.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
No, So.

Speaker 1 (17:04):
The clubs, the environment. I mean, you can still go
on day game and go to a coffee shop or
go to the mall and still approach. You can still
do that. You can still do it in class, in college,
in school, whatever. But I don't know, there's just something
about that the women feel like they have to go

(17:24):
through some extreme measures and they won't allow themselves to
be approached. And even in some of the normal insecurities
where a women might not be well any makeup on,
dressed down and they're getting hit on like crazy. Meanwhile,
if they're dolled up and they're made up looking like
one of their content creators are taking some of the
content creators' advice, the beauty tips, whatever it is to

(17:46):
get ready with me kind of stuff, and they go
that route and get all dressed up. By the way,
So if a girl's on TikTok and she's showing herself off,
what her fit is for the day, how she looks,
what her hair looks like, how she looks, hey, guys
can admire and look how beautiful the girl is. But
we also, if you're smart enough, you realize how much
work did it take for her to go and look

(18:07):
like that, Because it's obvious the girl took a lot
of time to make herself up and she looks beautiful.
But it's one of those things where guys will be
a little more inherently thinking about how she looks naturally
dressed down because for her to have to go through
all that trouble, I think a guy like me, we
think of the fact that I don't want you to

(18:29):
have to go through the trouble. I mean, listen, you
do it for you obviously, but like if you're going
out with me, you know you don't have to go
through that kind of trouble. It's if you love it
you love it, that's okay. I'll wait for you to
get ready. But I also can tell you you don't
have to go that route with me at all, because
we're going out. You can be as casual and as

(18:50):
comfortable as you want to be, and you're gonna be
loved the same by me, because that's how I'm gonna
feel about it. Social media constantly talk about statistics that
says that one of the four adults will stay single
for life, but it's actually a myth, it's not even true.

(19:13):
But then there's those that are dating. You got to
be clewed up on attachment styles rub or band theory,
star charts. Otherwise your dating life is doesn't to fail
and dating apps are the worst and you'll never find
a relationship on them. But also no one wants to
meet in person anymore, so I guess you may as
well just give up all together. We'll keep this in mind.
Dating apps, maybe at the very beginning they worked. Dating

(19:34):
sites did work. It did break the ice for people
like me if I wanted to go ahead and get
into in real life relationships. Because the earliest relationships or
the earliest dating I ever did you know, going back
to love at AOL. It was online, it wasn't in

(19:56):
person because my game was much better online when I
texted the girl, our messaged a girl and I got
her to like reach out to me, and then we
get on the phone and then like okay, write the
right words and messaging and text and then get to
the phone. And of course if I had a girl

(20:18):
on the phone, talk her up. And because you always
had the good radio voice, I could go and really
warm up to a girl and really make her feel
good maybe when they maybe the what and I feel
the same way, because I would also not be as
confident as I was just using my voice and just
being able to talk on the phone and just talking up.
So it was different. So seeking advice or community on

(20:42):
places like TikTok or Instagram or Facebook or whatever could
take it to you into a bottomless pit of chronically
online romantic dissolution. So someone that might have spent time
on Hinge now spends times going through TikTok listening to
hundreds of people talking about how bad can breedinting is
with the bleak outlook and nothing goes everyone to change.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
Look.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
I can't understand when people see that they start believing
that the facts are true, but it is what you're
being fed by the algorithm, because if you're interested in it,
you're gonna keep getting fed that. We know that, So
that kind of stuff goes on. Here's another TikToker, given
the kind of advice that we get out there that
is not helping.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
Okay, single galies, single gualies, listen to me, Co'm closer?
Does everybody else agree that we seem to be.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
In this very weird place right now of like not
really wanting to be on the dating apps.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
They're not already doing their job.

Speaker 3 (21:31):
Bumble, just fucked up.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
That weird celibacy from paign Hinge is like hey, pay me,
pay me, pain me.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Tender is like Lod's just fuck and we're all just tired.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
We're tired.

Speaker 2 (21:40):
Where we meeting people?

Speaker 3 (21:42):
Are we meeting people? Oh good? I meet a.

Speaker 1 (21:46):
Lot of people in the world, I must say, But
even then it's usually me approaching them.

Speaker 3 (21:50):
I'm not gonna lie to you. So what are we doing?

Speaker 1 (21:53):
If you are in a relationship right now, you're not
going to understand this tea? This is single people tea only,
so there's to it. But again, this girl is in
the same end of trying to understand things make sense.
The one thing is we need more messages like that
to make people realize, you know what, there's something wrong here.

(22:15):
We're not We're seeing something that doesn't work out for
people that social media is putting us to a point
of despair, and our cynicism and our feelings of just
negativity are consuming us. Now. I used to feel like that,
but that was even before dating apps. But now I

(22:36):
see what it's just like. I feel like through the
Domo scrolling, I am relating that I'm not the only one. Okay,
that's good to know. I appreciate that, but I'm also
not looking as other people where I feel like, Okay,
I feel bad. Guys, if you're single right now, it's
okay because the most important that you got to do

(22:56):
is be able to love yourself and also really feel
like you can feel have a fulfilling life without love.
You have to have love around you. It'll be nice.
But if you can't find love from somebody that is
a soulmate, that is a significant other, you can just
wait until it comes or like who knows. But the
thing is we all need to be waiting for somebody

(23:18):
that is genuinely ready and really makes us feel like
we want to have that. One of the things I
do with the online conversations that I have now, girls
that I meet through dating sites or for wherever, is
because I want to just feel like, I don't know,
have that feeling that there are women out there even
though they're not near me. I want that feeling from online,

(23:40):
just the conversations, just to feel like there's somebody that
wants me. Just the feeling of it feels good. It
makes me feel hopeful, It makes me feel like, well,
there's something there's a chance that something more can come
of it, just a dream scenario, just the feeling of saying, Okay,
I'm talking to somebody and at least I'm giving that
contact back. I'm getting at least some small talk out

(24:02):
there with no expectations. I mean, just go with that
and let yourself feel good from it, because that's the
least one I'm trying to do right now for myself,
because if I didn't do that, then I would probably

(24:22):
be pretty struggling. I would be struggling a lot trying
to go and find myself and just say well, I
would be where I was in my thirties early thirties
trying to figure things out. And because I'm not even
trying to approach just for the sake of situationships, that's
also becoming tough because it's the approach anyway, even if

(24:42):
you're not hooking up to be in a relationship. If
the hookups are not working either, there's something wrong with
that too, because the hookup culture is only working for
a certain amount of people. There might be quite a
few moment that will be involved in hookup culture, but
the guys are limited because of the delusion has been created.
So there's only a certain amount of guys that are
just really taking into benefits. And those guys are probably

(25:05):
never gonna get married because they're just enjoying the benefits anyway,
because of the success, their girth, their looks, whatever, it's
a good good As a relationship therapist. The Cosmopolitan spoke
with and they mentioned of how videos can be really
easy to binge because they help us still understood, right,
we could relate and makes us feel like we're in
the same boat. So we could just feel like, well,

(25:26):
we're in a community of people that are like minded
like us. But there's the part that is said too,
and this is very important for the young ladies out there. Okay,
you might not be watching romated comedies and getting the
whole thought, the dream of having the relationship and having
the dream guy in your life, going that route and
being the kind of one that these women are depicted

(25:46):
in in these movies, or finding one that you know
are married or happy. She mentions how speaking to friends
and happy relationships doesn't validate our dating experiences the same
way that engaging with online content about the current leading
landscape does, but the approach can lead to a not
so great situation where you're just going down the rabbit
hole only seeing one perspective on a situation. We want

(26:09):
to be understood, seen or heard. So wherever we go online,
there's a bit of bias. We're gonna engage in content
that's gonna confirm our story or our narrative. Right. So,
if you have somebody that is successful in relationships, they're
in a happy relationship right now, how many of those
people are you talking to you right now that are
successfully happy? We're not the ones that they're in the

(26:30):
relationships and they're just kind of bitching and moaning and
they're in something toxic and they can't find their way
out of it, and they just get stayed stuck in something.
That's another story. But when you're completely removed from anyone,
that's even in relationships including friends or family for that matter,
it's because you want to just keep yourself completely removed

(26:52):
and just live in this world of cynicism and kill
joy because you want to just feel like it's hopeless,
and the hopelessness feels something there. Good also mentions how
the illusionment and sense of hopelessness is one of the
key indicators of depression. So there could be something that

(27:14):
makes us feel depressed about a specific topic, never finding
a partner, having nobody giving up on daty. But we're
creatures of habit and so we do things we feel
more comfortable with, and it's not hard to do the
hard it's hard to do the hard thing, which will
be to say, actually, I'm not going to consume that
kind of content anymore. So there's different women that have
talked about this. So, at twenty eight years old, went
back to dating recently after breaking over their X of

(27:36):
four years, says, the landscape of dating is unrecognizable. It
feels very tense, makes me put up my guard. It
is on my mind, like, Okay, how are you going
to meet someone? If no one talks to you, talk
to anyone anymore. I want to die alone, you know.
I just want I want love just like everyone else
wants love. The constant FYP posts I get as well

(27:57):
are women that are going out on singles events or
speed dating events and they're saying that the ratio of
men to women is twenty to eighty. Very few men
and plenty of women got are trying to go into
this and hope so something that happen, But they're becoming
chick fests because the guys are not willing to go

(28:17):
into this right now and go through rejection after rejection
after rejection. Because of these guys go to it, they
probably will feel like that's what's gonna happen because when
these women are together, they're also gonna be in a
competitive mode. They're gonna feel like, well, I need to
come away with one of these guys that everywhere every
girl wants and the competitor nature goes in there too,
So that also changes things. Plus the environment for women

(28:40):
to go ahead and be interested in going into the
things like this, we don't have ladies knights anymore, Ladies
knights where you entice the women to go and come
and for the guys to show up because the guys
are going to spend money for ladies night. But ladies
night that's not a thing anymore because there's being outlawed.
It's like you can't do it anymore. We're not gonna
get guys night. That's not happening. There's no men's night out.

(29:06):
And are there any clubs or night spots that are
trying to cater to that part. They'd rather try to
get women in for like a bunch or something that
it's not even the club atmosphere used to be one
of the best places for that because you can always
find somebody in the club and hook up or at
least maybe get a relationship. You never know. But people
got out there and did their thing. And the most

(29:29):
important thing too, is that if you go to the nightclub,
the girls might get all dressed up, maybe in particular,
but not so much because that makeup is gonna get
smeared a little bit. You're gonna get a sweat out there.
You're gonna go out there and do your thing. At
the end of the night, you're a little drunk, you
loosen up, you become more of yourself, and then see
what happens. So there are people out there that are

(29:52):
trying to create groups and advocacy for being single forever,
long term singleness, poor trusting the centric romantic relationships in
order to focus on self love and the potonic love
of your life, so to quit dating all together like
an addiction. I don't think it's like that either. There's
obviously reasonable expectations of what you want to expect to

(30:15):
have happened to hope for relationships, but the delusion of
money or status or whatever that's goin to be taken
on the equation, if you want a relationship, you can't
worry about all those things. Relationships have to begin with love.

(30:36):
And if the love is not enough that you're getting
from them and you don't have to have enough love
for them, that relationship is not going to work. And
the delusion of thinking that money is never going to
be there's never enough money to satisfy, well, that's not love.
I mean, if guys thought there was a price tag
on a relationship, we might pay for it if it

(30:58):
actually paid off, but we know it doesn't, so we
don't Guys at the end of the day still want
to have relationships based on love. And if they can't
have that, and a woman can't focus on that, then
they're not going to get it. And guys will be
content of being single, but women know it'll be harder

(31:22):
for them because it's not their nature. I would be
hard pressed to think that women want to go and
continue to stay single. Meanwhile, they are the ones that
are able to go and experience motherhood, have children, Bring young,
beautiful children into this world, continue the legacy who they are,

(31:43):
Bring sons and daughters that are going to be upstanding,
wonderful people someday, and they'll have to figure how to date.
They want to have the example of having a family,
a home that is loving, that is based on love
first and foremost, and that you have a couple. Do
you have a dominant or some or a man or a

(32:04):
woman that are together in love and offer the best
of what a young boy or girls needs to grow
up and become a better person and become a young
adult someday and be successful and make the family proud.
But at the same time, as I always say on

(32:24):
this program, there's also the part of you that has
to say, well, you can't just stay in the same
situation where if relationships don't happen, then you're just gonna
go quick cold turkey dating. No no, no, no no, Because
I think you need to do something. Go in and
just take a little bit of the attention off, ease

(32:45):
a little bit, and so you don't feel depressed. The
most important thing is that you should allow yourself to
get laid. There's something wrong with feeling like that and
getting a little feeling of it right, So don't get
all stuck in doom scrolling. Don't get stuck in Mike.
Seeing the relationships is the end all be all. Don't

(33:07):
be depressed either. Maybe maybe go out and be a
little depraised. Debauchers
