This space is about black men's experiences, having honest conversations that's really not safe to have anywhere, but you're having them with a licensed professional who knows what he's doing. How many men carry a suit or armor? It signals to the world that you're not to be played with. And just because you have the capability that does not mean that you need to.

Listen to learn the hard way on the AHA radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcast. I'm Kelly Callan Ben-Seron from I Do Part 2. We are on the hunt for finding love in our second chapter. We are here with Holly Sullum, who is an amazing TikTok creator on Manth Row. apology. She's teaching us everything about who men are and what they like. Holly, give us some insight and tell us some tips on some of the questions that we should be asking men on dates. Well, I mean, if you want to get straight to the heart of things, if you ask a man, why are you like this or like, why are men like this? And if they get offended, that's a really good time that he's a

weirdo. Like, it shouldn't be offensive. It's that defensive thing again. Like, why are you getting defensive over this, like, benign, silly question? I think being really, like, straightforward and blunt has, like, really served me really well because you really just get to, like, I ask things that you're not supposed to ask, uh, because it just is, it, it, it either, either people find you amusing and they'll play along and they'll answer directly or they'll get offensive or they'll get offended and then you'll realize like this is not not good this person's trying to hide something i mean i ask men on the street like are you rich i'll just ask anything let me see your bank account do you have an amics and so many guys think it's really funny

and that's what you want yeah it's supposed to be funny and playful. It must be like kind of like a double-edged sword because on the one, I mean, because you are beautiful and then you're asking these like provocative questions, they're kind of like, wait, what? And I'm sure that they're really like, they really must really, really like you. I mean, it's just that is like, that is crazy. They want to stay in chat, but then they're like, oh, why do I have?

Yeah, you're like, no, no, no. Filming's over. It was 30 seconds. Sorry. I only have one question. I got my clip. Bye. I got my clip.

You're fantastic. Viral. Thank you. I know. I'm like, oh, how did I end up in a position where I'm like chasing around men trying to get them to be mean to me on camera? Be mean. Yeah, be an asshole, please.

Oh, my God. Why do you think the guys want to date these younger? I'm stuck on the younger, though. I mean, because I date, I'm 57. actually I had a birthday, excuse me, I'm 58. Happy birthday. I just lied about my age. See? Malaya. Don't lie. I'm 58. Thank you.

But, you know, I mean, I never lie about my age. First of all I can't because maybe all you do is just Google me and you'll be like, I know how old you are. And I wouldn't want to anyway. But I had my assistant put me on Hinge and he put me as 10 years younger. And he's like, well, you look 10 years younger. And I'm like, but I'm not 10 years younger. And is that probably just to get path?

Because, you know, people set their age limits. And I think so many men think that a woman in her 40s or 50s is like gross and washed up. And then they meet you and they're like, oh, you're super hot. And then they're like, oh, my God, you're in your 50s. Like their mind explodes. Like they can't understand that like we're, we're hot. Like that's not, it's not what we're not these like. grandmas that they grew up watching on TV portrayed in the, you know, 70s.

I think it's mostly older men that think older women are gross. And it's younger men understand that that's not the case. You should date younger men. That's my advice to all women, especially just all women. Just date younger men. These old guys, like, we don't want them. No, no. I mean, I definitely, I don't mind older.

I just don't like grump or cheap. No, grump, no cheap. No, I mean, I think it's just like a total misconception. I think they're just don't. I think they're completely confused and they have no idea. And then there's also the fact that like if a man is insecure or if he feels, you know, somehow insufficient, a younger woman maybe will not notice as many of his. flaws. So is there a time of day that you do these interviews because I'm just wondering if you find

like that hotter guys are out like in the morning getting coffee or if they're like done with work and like I'm just wondering like is there a time of day? I mean we talked about the age. I just try to get specific here. I just want to know exactly what what's going on. I'm very good at following directions. I've tried to go to a lot of Man events. So I go to motorcycle rallies. I go to, you know, conventions. I go to like X games.

I go to F1. I go to like stuff where there are going to be a lot of dudes, monster truck rallies, like just, but that mostly is kids actually. So don't find men at monster truck rallies. Yeah, no. Unless you want a five-year-old. No.

Yeah, so just I go out like I try not to go out in the morning too much. I like later, a little later in the day. And like Saturdays are the best, of course, because just people are out. So then I have another question. I'm jumping all over the place. It's because like my like brain is like, you know, I'm supposed to be following questions and I'm just like so intrigued. So when you're like when you're at like, when you're.

out at bars with your friends, right? And you see a girl that's struggling, you know, that's struggling. I mean, you've seen this many, many times. What is it that she's doing? And why is she doing that if she sees that the guys aren't responding? What do you mean if she's struggling? Meaning like, you can see, you can see when a girl is looking for guys. You can see there's, you know, you can see when they're like actively pursuing men at bars.

and then they're just not getting the results. What do you think that they're doing? Do you think it's because they're like trying to be too sexual? Is there some kind of like, are you seeing any kind of trends with women that are not being well received? I think it's like maybe it's an energetic because like the energy of desperation is so repellent. So if you're really like, you know, desperate. to find somebody, it's just not going to happen. I think just being very like happy within yourself

and secure within yourself. If you're just like having a great time with your girlfriends and you're not like desperately seeking men, men will come to you. They will flock to you. It's an energetic of like, you know, attracting rather than like going out and seeking because something about that pushes away them then energetically. Yeah, they're like, no, no. What about, so just like you should like act like you don't care or just be like, I don't think it's even an act like you don't care thing. I think it's about like, you know, staying in your own world and like focusing on yourself.

I think it's like an inside job. I just think like the more you're focused on yourself and your own thing, yourself and your wealth and your health and you're like, yourself and your wealth and your help. Like living your best life. Yeah. Without worrying about what the men are doing, that's going to be the most attractive thing to men for sure.

And like just the most attractive thing, the most magnetic thing just in the world with everything. Yeah. Experience Harry Styles live in London, England at Wembley, Stadium. This is Harry Stiles. Iheart Radio wants to send you and a mate across the pond with flights from Virgin Atlantic,
