Speaker 1 (00:12):
So welcome to the Phelix Black Show. We're talking about
dating dynamics today and you know rules of relationships, purple
pill content. Welcome to the assembly. Let's get started today.
We're talking about something called the taxi cab theory, a
concept that explains why some men date for years with
(00:33):
no commitment, only to turn around and marry the next
woman they meet. Okay, and my question for a chat
is gonna be continuous. For the ladies, have you ever
dated someone who you dated years and they didn't commit
they didn't put a ring on it, Beyonce, but after
(00:55):
y'all broke up for whatever reason, he dated and mayor
read the very next person. And for my fellas in chat,
what up? Have you ever done that? Do you have
you ever heard of someone doing that? Now we'll get
into the actual responses and the questions in segment two.
Let me break down what the what the theory is.
(01:17):
Let me go through this. I wrote some notes, so
pardon me really quick. I want to make sure that
I'm I'm fully fully educated because this was a question
posed to me, which I love it. Thank you when
people give me questions that's just like, hey, what do
you think about this what do you think about this topic?
(01:40):
I love that because then if I've never heard of it,
I get to go research it, and if I can
make a podcast episode out of it, let's think fifteen
to twenty minutes, that's awesome. I'll talk about it on
stream and then we'll, you know, like we can get
into it. But a lot of times the questions people
ask me are really like basic five minutes questions that
(02:00):
really don't take a whole lot to explain. So the
taxi cab theory as a metaphor used to explain why
men sometimes suddenly commit to relationships and why it may
seem they settle down with the next woman they date,
even in their previous relationship, even if their previous relationships
(02:20):
were long and meaningful. Men are like taxis. Each one
has a light on top. When the light is off,
they're not ready to commit. When the light is on,
they're emotionally available and ready to settle down. A woman
can date a man for years while his light is
(02:42):
off and he'll never commit. But once that light turns on,
often due to timing, maturity, or personal growth, the next
woman who hails the cab might get the ride to
marriage or long term commitment. What is this really saying?
(03:03):
A lot of it broken down, deconstructed, is saying men
marry out of timing versus connection, meaning a man is
going to wake up. First off, let me say this.
We're not talking about one hundred percent men. But this
(03:26):
is a theory, a general theory, right that most men
singing to fit into the mold. We're not saying one
hundred percent. We're just discussing. I don't care about the percentages, right,
Let me just let me just say that, Okay, timing
(03:47):
versus connection, It's not always about finding the perfect partner.
It's about meeting the right person at the right time
in his life. Readiness is key. A man's emotional availability
matters more than just how much he likes someone. He
didn't commit to you, but Mary's the next woman. It
may not be about your worth. It could be about
(04:08):
his timing. For example, a woman dates a man for
five years, hoping for a ring, He drags his feet.
They break up. A year later, he marries someone he
just met six months ago. That's the taxi cab theory
in action. I've never heard of this before. I've never
(04:30):
heard this before, but it got me to thinking initially,
if you're talking to Felix Black and I'm putting myself
in that position. No, that's that that is not true, right,
so right there, it's not true for one hundred percent
of men. But I'm also gonna give you the inverse
to that too. No, I don't think, well, no I don't.
(04:52):
I wouldn't wake up one day and say, damn, I
need to be in a relationship. I'm gonna take whoever
comes to me. No, I think that is showing a
lack of self worth. You don't know what you bring
as far as value to someone else. So in actuality,
you're settling. You're settling for the next person that's going
to give you attention, to show you attention. That's why
(05:15):
I always harp on the fact that you know, men, yes,
we do chase, we like to talk to women, we
like to pursuit, but that should not consume you. You
should be consumed with providing for yourself. And I don't
want to say chasing the bag because that's a that's
just a phrase I get tired of hearing. But just
pursuing success in your own words, you're successful to you,
(05:38):
whether that is you know, having a family, that you
take care of, whether that is being able to travel,
what has been able to retire early, whether that's having
a job that you enjoy to go to work every day.
Everybody's level of success or definition of success is different. No,
if I'm if my light is on, I wake up
(06:00):
one day and I'm like, damn, I need to be
in a relationship. No, I mean I hope and I
wish that more men didn't think that way, and I
hope that there are a lot that don't think that way,
because no one man or woman should be settling for anything.
I don't convince I present right. So if you have
(06:22):
to convince someone, that means that you're going above and
beyond to show them something. Why why do you have
to do that? The right person should come along and
not immediately know it's gonna take time. Well that's why
we date. It takes time, but they will know at
a certain point, like damn, I want to rock with him.
(06:44):
I want to rock with her. So no, I don't
think that we wake up. So no, Felix Black is
not going to wake up one day and all of
a sudden want to pursue a relationship to marriage, like damn,
it's getting it's getting hot in or Nelly, I need
to it's about that time. No, I'm always in that
(07:05):
mind frame of someone may come along that I can
put through the ringer, and you know, she comes out
on the other side unscathed and you know, unbothered. In
so many words, she's gonna she may break right, but
she's not gonna remain broken. A lot of times it
is about timing me personally. If I'm in build phase,
(07:32):
any woman is gonna have a hard time just getting
me to focus when I'm in build phase, meaning when
I'm working towards something. I'm always working towards something. But
there comes a point where we kind of I'm good
right here, like I'm good for a little bit. Let
me I've worked so hard to get to this point.
Let me booy for a little bit. Let me just
(07:55):
let me enjoy like where I'm at. One of my weaknesses,
one of my shortcomings, is the fact that I never
enjoy the present. I'm always my eyes are to the
future because I've planned for this moment years ago. So
(08:16):
the reason why things have fallen for me the way
that they have not perfectly, but the reason that they
have fallen for me. The way that they have is
because I plan, I provide the structure, and I reverse plan. Okay,
I want to be content creating for twenty twenty five.
What do I need to do in order to get there?
And so I work that way. So then when twenty
(08:36):
twenty five gets here, I'm not gonna enjoy the moment
because I've been looking forward to this moment and it
happened because I planned it that way. When I'm in
build phase, like, I'm not trying to be bothered by that.
You have to catch me at the plateau phase. The
right person has to catch me at any phase that's one.
(08:59):
So that's why I don't personally prescribe to the taxi
caat theory because it will never be just the next
person that comes along is the one. I'm gonna make
sure that she's the one. I can't do that. I
can't control that, and I'm not gonna force a square
peg in a round hole. But if I'm being build phase, like,
(09:21):
hey man, I don't have time to deal with that stuff.
If I'm building myself, I'm not gonna be with the BS. Now.
If I plat to a little bit, I'm booey and
I'm chilling, so I'm not working towards a specific goal.
I'm kind of just I'm here now, I'm good. I'm
straight for a little bit. You may get a little
bit more as far as direction in pursuit and just
(09:46):
you know coming after you. But that's, you know, that's
a phase. That's it's very short and you of course
you're not going to realize it when a person meets me,
but a person will realize if I'm in build phase
because they know my plans, right. I'm very communicative in
(10:08):
those things. I want to show that, hey, I'm a
man with a plan like I. You know, I might
be I might look comfortable, I might be comfortable, but
I can always get more comfortable. I'm never to a
point where I'm too comfortable. I don't think I've ever
been too comfortable, like in my lifetime, not that I
can remember right off the break. So I don't don't.
(10:31):
I don't prescribe to it, but I can see how
I can see again, it may not apply to me,
but I understand where it comes from. Why do I
understand that because I know people like that. I know
people that you know have told me they don't want
(10:53):
to be alone, they're ready for a relationship, they don't
want to be in the club at a certain age,
they don't want to be looking at a certain age,
and so, in so many words, I feel that it's forced,
and I feel that they're forcing something. And that's my
thing with convincing someone to be with me. It's like
I feel like I'm forcing you, Like, hey, you not
(11:16):
really feeling me right now. I don't really think this
is gonna work out. I don't want to, you know,
I'm looking for something a little bit different. No, no, no, no, no,
give me another chance. Let me show you that I
can be what you're looking for. Like that's forcing it
to me, And from my perspective, you're forcing it. A
person is telling you they're having reservations about this not
(11:39):
working out, about us not being together again. If I've
done nothing specifically wrong, like I don't have a drinking problem,
I don't have a drug problem alcohol, you know, there's
no there's been no violence of any sort, no cheating
of any sort. You just don't feel we're compatible, then no,
I'm not gonna Why am I gonna convince you because
(12:03):
you didn't like what I presented. Now, if there is variables.
If things happen, if I have to regain your trust,
that's totally different. I'm not talking about those instances. Of
course you're gonna do if you mess up. If I
make a mistake and I mess up in a relationship
and I want to keep that relationship, I'm gonna fight
for it. Absolutely, Yes, I agree. However, on her end,
(12:28):
she still has to show me that she's just hurt
and she's not done. And y'all know what I mean
by that. There are some things where you will accept that.
People have been like, yeah, you've cheated so many times.
You know why because you were hurt, but you weren't
done with the relationship. Some people only takes one time,
(12:51):
and that's various things, various behaviors. Right, someone does something
and you didn't think that they would go that far.
You didn't think that they would do that, So you're hurt,
you're surprised. You just like, okay, damn, like I didn't
I didn't think we would get here. But that doesn't
mean you're bolting out the door. That's understandable when you're
a relationship and you've committed so much time to that.
(13:14):
So I can see why I just be like, no, no, no,
I'm sorry, give me another chance. That's the convincing part.
I'm trying to get your trust back. I'm trying to
regain that. And there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing I'm
talking about just to you know, we've gone out a
little bit, we hung out, spent some time together, and
(13:34):
you're just not feeling it. I know people like that,
and so when I read this, I'm just like, damn,
is it a little bit of taxi cab theory? Because
I know we use the excuse that we're getting older,
and it's kind of like, I don't want to die alone.
I don't want to be alone. So when you start
(13:57):
using terms like that to me to feel like black,
there's a level of desperation there. You're looking, you're looking,
you're searching, you're looking hard. Right, we've all been there
to where we're not looking for anything, but you know
(14:18):
something good might fall into your lap. Like, hey man,
I ain't really in that headspace right now, but this
person that I met is dope's she's fired. I have
to consider this because there's not gonna be There's not
gonna be a lot of people that come along in
your life that kind of check enough blocks for you.
(14:39):
So though we may not be in that that headspace,
I ain't really looking for that right now. I got
some I got some things going on, but I can't
ignore what I'm seeing over here. I can't ignore her
just because she's checking enough blocks out of the box,
I mean out of the out of the gate, right
She's checking enough of the blocks out of the gate,
(14:59):
like I might have to, I might have to change
my mentality because again it's about timing. We all have
met people that I posted about it the other day
that we wish we've met sooner, we wish that we've
met later, and we wish that we never met at all. Right,
We've had people that, you know, they were just terrible
(15:22):
when they were we were in a relationship where we
were just together when we first met. But now you
see them and you're just like, damn, why couldn't you
be like that when when we were, when we were
you know, together, in that headspace at the same time.
And then you know there's some people that just like, damn,
(15:43):
like everything that that's wrong with them you can see
glaringly right now, and just you just how did I
miss that? Like how did I not see that? So yes,
I see both sides to the taxicab theory, and I
can I can literally see it being applied to people
(16:06):
that I know, even though I don't prescribe to it.
It won't work on me. And that's not something that
I would ever do. And I'm going to say that
I don't usually I don't usually speak in absolutes, never,
you know, always, but the thought of Okay, now I
need to be in a relationship. Why like why do
(16:29):
we need to be in a relationship? And that's a question,
like leave that down in the comments section, like why
do we need that? There's some people that genuinely don't
like being alone, and there's some of us that genuinely
like being alone. That's not to say that we can't
invite someone else into what we're doing. But I'm cool.
(16:56):
That's why the taxicab theory doesn't prescribe to me, because
I know it's about timing for me and for her,
but definitely for me. And if I'm in build phase,
if I'm working to build myself up, I'm not going
(17:16):
to be like I don't want to say fully committed,
but I'm not going to be you know, in that
headspace that she may need me to be in, and
that's not her fault. That's not her fault. It's all
about it is about timing. I think when what the
problem with the theory is when it says timing, it
says the next woman that comes along he will accept
(17:40):
or he wants to bring into the fold. I think
that's where the lingo for me goes wrong. But I
have I have heard people talk like that to where
it's like, yeah, yeah, I can I can see that,
and it maybe as a man gets older, you know,
when the theory kicks in for those that it happened
to or those that it affects. So yeah, I don't
(18:05):
I don't personally prescribe to it. I can see how
it can be applied to men, though, But that's an
interesting point, the taxicab theory saying that men look for
partners at a certain point due to timing and availability
versus connection. What do you guys think? Just let me
(18:28):
know down in the comment section. Again, ladies, have you
ever dated a man who dragged his feet? You know,
y'all were in a relationship for a decent amount of
time and y'all didn't it didn't progress, it didn't turn
into anything as far as putting a ring on it Beyonce,
and then he married literally the next person he went
(18:50):
out with. Has that ever happened to you? Let me
know down in the comment section. And then for the guys,
be honest, have you ever done that? And do you
know someone who's ever done that? This has been the
Felix Black Podcast and I'll see y'all in the next video.
So welcome to the Phelix Black Show. We're talking about
dating dynamics today and you know rules of relationships, purple

you think about this what do you think about this topic?
(01:40):
I love that because then if I've never heard of it,

marriage or long term commitment. What is this really saying?
(03:03):
A lot of it broken down, deconstructed, is saying men
marry out of timing versus connection, meaning a man is
going to wake up. First off, let me say this.
We're not talking about one hundred percent men. But this
(03:26):
is a theory, a general theory, right that most men
singing to fit into the mold. We're not saying one
hundred percent. We're just discussing. I don't care about the percentages, right,
Let me just let me just say that, Okay, timing
(03:47):
versus connection, It's not always about finding the perfect partner.
It's about meeting the right person at the right time
in his life. Readiness is key. A man's emotional availability
matters more than just how much he likes someone. He
didn't commit to you, but Mary's the next woman. It
may not be about your worth. It could be about
(04:08):
his timing. For example, a woman dates a man for
five years, hoping for a ring, He drags his feet.
They break up. A year later, he marries someone he
just met six months ago. That's the taxi cab theory
in action. I've never heard of this before. I've never
(04:30):
heard this before, but it got me to thinking initially,
if you're talking to Felix Black and I'm putting myself
in that position. No, that's that that is not true, right,
so right there, it's not true for one hundred percent
of men. But I'm also gonna give you the inverse
to that too. No, I don't think, well, no I don't.
(04:52):
I wouldn't wake up one day and say, damn, I
need to be in a relationship. I'm gonna take whoever
comes to me. No, I think that is showing a
lack of self worth. You don't know what you bring
as far as value to someone else. So in actuality,
you're settling. You're settling for the next person that's going

Everybody's level of success or definition of success is different. No,
if I'm if my light is on, I wake up

one day and I'm like, damn, I need to be
in a relationship. No, I mean I hope and I
wish that more men didn't think that way, and I
hope that there are a lot that don't think that way,
because no one man or woman should be settling for anything.
I don't convince I present right. So if you have
(06:22):
to convince someone, that means that you're going above and
beyond to show them something. Why why do you have
to do that? The right person should come along and
not immediately know it's gonna take time. Well that's why
we date. It takes time, but they will know at
a certain point, like damn, I want to rock with him.
(06:44):
I want to rock with her. So no, I don't
think that we wake up. So no, Felix Black is
not going to wake up one day and all of
a sudden want to pursue a relationship to marriage, like damn,
it's getting it's getting hot in or Nelly, I need
to it's about that time. No, I'm always in that
(07:05):
mind frame of someone may come along that I can
put through the ringer, and you know, she comes out
on the other side unscathed and you know, unbothered. In
so many words, she's gonna she may break right, but
she's not gonna remain broken. A lot of times it
is about timing me personally. If I'm in build phase,
(07:32):
any woman is gonna have a hard time just getting
me to focus when I'm in build phase, meaning when
I'm working towards something. I'm always working towards something. But
there comes a point where we kind of I'm good

(08:16):
the reason why things have fallen for me the way
that they have not perfectly, but the reason that they
have fallen for me. The way that they have is
because I plan, I provide the structure, and I reverse plan. Okay,
I want to be content creating for twenty twenty five.
What do I need to do in order to get there?
And so I work that way. So then when twenty
(08:36):
twenty five gets here, I'm not gonna enjoy the moment
because I've been looking forward to this moment and it
happened because I planned it that way. When I'm in
build phase, like, I'm not trying to be bothered by that.
You have to catch me at the plateau phase. The
right person has to catch me at any phase that's one.
(08:59):
So that's why I don't personally prescribe to the taxi

sure that she's the one. I can't do that. I
can't control that, and I'm not gonna force a square

(09:21):
hey man, I don't have time to deal with that stuff.
If I'm building myself, I'm not gonna be with the BS. Now.
If I plat to a little bit, I'm booey and
I'm chilling, so I'm not working towards a specific goal.
I'm kind of just I'm here now, I'm good. I'm
straight for a little bit. You may get a little
bit more as far as direction in pursuit and just
(09:46):
you know coming after you. But that's, you know, that's
a phase. That's it's very short and you of course
you're not going to realize it when a person meets me,
but a person will realize if I'm in build phase
because they know my plans, right. I'm very communicative in
(10:08):
those things. I want to show that, hey, I'm a
man with a plan like I. You know, I might
be I might look comfortable, I might be comfortable, but
I can always get more comfortable. I'm never to a
point where I'm too comfortable. I don't think I've ever
been too comfortable, like in my lifetime, not that I
can remember right off the break. So I don't don't.
(10:31):
I don't prescribe to it, but I can see how
I can see again, it may not apply to me,
but I understand where it comes from. Why do I
understand that because I know people like that. I know
people that you know have told me they don't want
(10:53):
to be alone, they're ready for a relationship, they don't
want to be in the club at a certain age,
they don't want to be looking at a certain age,
and so, in so many words, I feel that it's forced,
and I feel that they're forcing something. And that's my
thing with convincing someone to be with me. It's like
I feel like I'm forcing you, Like, hey, you not
(11:16):
really feeling me right now. I don't really think this
is gonna work out. I don't want to, you know,
I'm looking for something a little bit different. No, no, no, no, no,
give me another chance. Let me show you that I
can be what you're looking for. Like that's forcing it
to me, And from my perspective, you're forcing it. A
person is telling you they're having reservations about this not
(11:39):
working out, about us not being together again. If I've
done nothing specifically wrong, like I don't have a drinking problem,
I don't have a drug problem alcohol, you know, there's
no there's been no violence of any sort, no cheating
of any sort. You just don't feel we're compatible, then no,
I'm not gonna Why am I gonna convince you because
(12:03):
you didn't like what I presented. Now, if there is variables.
If things happen, if I have to regain your trust,
that's totally different. I'm not talking about those instances. Of
course you're gonna do if you mess up. If I
make a mistake and I mess up in a relationship
and I want to keep that relationship, I'm gonna fight
for it. Absolutely, Yes, I agree. However, on her end,
(12:28):
she still has to show me that she's just hurt
and she's not done. And y'all know what I mean
by that. There are some things where you will accept that.
People have been like, yeah, you've cheated so many times.
You know why because you were hurt, but you weren't
done with the relationship. Some people only takes one time,
(12:51):
and that's various things, various behaviors. Right, someone does something
and you didn't think that they would go that far.
You didn't think that they would do that, So you're hurt,
you're surprised. You just like, okay, damn, like I didn't
I didn't think we would get here. But that doesn't
mean you're bolting out the door. That's understandable when you're
a relationship and you've committed so much time to that.
(13:14):
So I can see why I just be like, no, no, no,
I'm sorry, give me another chance. That's the convincing part.
I'm trying to get your trust back. I'm trying to
regain that. And there's nothing wrong with that. Nothing I'm
talking about just to you know, we've gone out a
little bit, we hung out, spent some time together, and
(13:34):
you're just not feeling it. I know people like that,
and so when I read this, I'm just like, damn,
is it a little bit of taxi cab theory? Because
I know we use the excuse that we're getting older,
and it's kind of like, I don't want to die alone.
I don't want to be alone. So when you start
(13:57):
using terms like that to me to feel like black,
there's a level of desperation there. You're looking, you're looking,
you're searching, you're looking hard. Right, we've all been there
to where we're not looking for anything, but you know
(14:18):
something good might fall into your lap. Like, hey man,
I ain't really in that headspace right now, but this
person that I met is dope's she's fired. I have
to consider this because there's not gonna be There's not
gonna be a lot of people that come along in
your life that kind of check enough blocks for you.
(14:39):
So though we may not be in that that headspace,
I ain't really looking for that right now. I got
some I got some things going on, but I can't
ignore what I'm seeing over here. I can't ignore her
just because she's checking enough blocks out of the box,
I mean out of the out of the gate, right
She's checking enough of the blocks out of the gate,
(14:59):
like I might have to, I might have to change
my mentality because again it's about timing. We all have
met people that I posted about it the other day
that we wish we've met sooner, we wish that we've
met later, and we wish that we never met at all. Right,
We've had people that, you know, they were just terrible
(15:22):
when they were we were in a relationship where we
were just together when we first met. But now you
see them and you're just like, damn, why couldn't you
be like that when when we were, when we were
you know, together, in that headspace at the same time.
And then you know there's some people that just like, damn,
(15:43):
like everything that that's wrong with them you can see
glaringly right now, and just you just how did I
miss that? Like how did I not see that? So yes,
I see both sides to the taxicab theory, and I
can I can literally see it being applied to people
(16:06):
that I know, even though I don't prescribe to it.
It won't work on me. And that's not something that
I would ever do. And I'm going to say that
I don't usually I don't usually speak in absolutes, never,
you know, always, but the thought of Okay, now I
need to be in a relationship. Why like why do
(16:29):
we need to be in a relationship? And that's a question,
like leave that down in the comments section, like why
do we need that? There's some people that genuinely don't
like being alone, and there's some of us that genuinely
like being alone. That's not to say that we can't
invite someone else into what we're doing. But I'm cool.
(16:56):
That's why the taxicab theory doesn't prescribe to me, because
I know it's about timing for me and for her,
but definitely for me. And if I'm in build phase,
if I'm working to build myself up, I'm not going
(17:16):
to be like I don't want to say fully committed,
but I'm not going to be you know, in that
headspace that she may need me to be in, and
that's not her fault. That's not her fault. It's all
about it is about timing. I think when what the
problem with the theory is when it says timing, it
says the next woman that comes along he will accept
(17:40):
or he wants to bring into the fold. I think
that's where the lingo for me goes wrong. But I
have I have heard people talk like that to where
it's like, yeah, yeah, I can I can see that,
and it maybe as a man gets older, you know,
when the theory kicks in for those that it happened
to or those that it affects. So yeah, I don't
(18:05):
I don't personally prescribe to it. I can see how
it can be applied to men, though, But that's an
interesting point, the taxicab theory saying that men look for
partners at a certain point due to timing and availability
versus connection. What do you guys think? Just let me
(18:28):
know down in the comment section. Again, ladies, have you
ever dated a man who dragged his feet? You know,
y'all were in a relationship for a decent amount of
time and y'all didn't it didn't progress, it didn't turn
into anything as far as putting a ring on it Beyonce,
and then he married literally the next person he went
(18:50):
out with. Has that ever happened to you? Let me
know down in the comment section. And then for the guys,
be honest, have you ever done that? And do you
know someone who's ever done that? This has been the
Felix Black Podcast and I'll see y'all in the next video.
