Welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
I'm your host, Paul Alex.
I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur
that helps average people like you and me
make money every single day.
I created this podcast to help you get motivated
and to crush your goals.
Let's win together.
Remember, I have your six.
Get ready to level up right now.
Hey guys, and welcome to the Level Up Podcast.
My name is Paul Alex, and today we have a special guest.
Okay, our special guest, she goes by the name of Brittany Charm.
Now for all my ladies out there and even some men, you guys are having issues with dating
in 2025.
Well, look, red pill, blue pill, it doesn't matter what type of pill you are.
You have Brittany Charm here who is one of the leading dating coaches
in the online space.
Brittany, how are you doing today?
Excellent, how are you doing?
Good, good.
Now, if you guys don't know,
Brittany and I are actually married, okay?
Brittany is my wife.
So when we started dating, you know,
she was working for the government guys,
for the Department of Motor Vehicles,
as you guys know, I'm former law enforcement
and we're both from California.
So at the end of the day, we are recent newlyweds.
And you know, when we got married, I was just like,
babe, what are you trying to do besides government work?
And she's like, you know what?
I really try to help women, like in the dating space
because there's so many women out there trying to be boss babes
and talking and complaining about you know men and all that and we always have these discussions
right we always have these discussions about you know why relationships don't work which mainly
comes out to communication comes down to you know people. But Brittany, for people that don't know you, okay,
tell us a little bit about yourself, your background.
Well, aside from working for the government,
I was an HR analyst for over 10 years.
So I have a really, really good, vast knowledge
on how to carry yourself,
how to conduct yourself in meetings,
how to always be professional, and just how to be a lady, because I was how to carry yourself, how to conduct yourself in meetings, how to always be professional,
and just how to be a lady,
because I was forced to at an early age.
I started with the state at only 20 years old.
But while doing that simultaneously,
I also worked and did makeup.
I was a makeup artist,
so I've done makeup for over 15 years.
And along with that, I was a personal stylist,
so fashion expert. So with those
three things you know I've always kind of had a hold on everything as far as being
successful in corporate, being successful in beauty, being successful in fashion. They all go
hand in hand especially when it comes to putting your best foot forward, presenting yourself in dating because the example that you set in person should
always mirror the example that you set on social media.
And that's something that I've just always had down.
Okay. So let's go ahead and do a little Q and a,
I'm going to do a little bit different style of interviewing style since I do
have my wife on here. Guys, usually I go Usually I go in, I ask those hard questions.
I'm still going to ask some hard questions.
You know that's just the nature of the game.
This is called the level up right?
So we about to level up on this episode right babe?
Yes we are.
No that's right.
Okay so Brittany question numero uno.
Are modern women too entitled when it comes to dating or are men just not stepping it
up?
Both.
So what's happening is men and women
are actually not dating at their level.
So they're either dating up too high
or they're dating down too low.
So what's happening is people have a false sense of reality
because of social media.
It's kind of given people,
you know, it's made average people think there's something wrong with being
average. So let's talk about that real quick. When you say it makes the
average person feel average, what do you mean by that? Well, for example, we were
both nine-to-fivers. What's wrong with marrying another nine-to-fiver? What's
happened is on social media, everybody sees like these yachts and this extravagant lifestyle.
They feel like that's always attainable and that's the only way for happiness.
That's not true. You could be happy married to a cop.
You could be happy married to a lawyer.
You'd be happy married to a firefighter, a truck driver.
It all depends on whether you guys are a match. That's essentially it.
So what you're saying is,
people, whether it's men and women,
they have too high of an expectation nowadays.
Yes.
Okay.
And, you know, I guess like,
we always have this conversation.
So I guess the thought process of, you know,
back in the day, you know,
when we were in our local towns, all right?
And this is not to talk shit about townies, but it is what it is.
And you move to a large metropolitan city like Miami or possibly San Diego, right? Now you're exposed to beautiful people. You're exposed to other people that are either
high level or they live a ridiculous lifestyle and now you have more competition.
But I think what you're saying is now in the online space you are open to the entire world,
right? Exactly. So what's happened is that for men it kind of sucks a little bit because now
that girl who lives in that teeny tiny town or somewhere in the Midwest,
she has men from here all the way to Europe to Dubai that can try and hit on her. And so it's
made the dating marketplace really, really difficult and it's given a false sense of reality.
Now the thing is, it can affect men and it can affect women or it can't because guess what,
even if you aren't at the level
that you want to be, you can always get yourself there.
That means you need to step up your looks,
get in the gym, eat better, maybe use better face products,
get a dermatologist, get an esthetician.
It may mean that you need more etiquette
as far as experiencing new things,
taking yourself out to dinner. I experiencing new things, taking yourself out
to dinner.
I always tell women, date yourself first.
You can't tell a guy that you want to go to Nobu or you want to go to Javier's and you've
only ever been to Sizzler.
So you know what I mean?
You can give yourself those experiences and expand your own horizons so that you can be
in the marketplace to be with someone who's of the who's who.
But you have to put yourself in that position.
Just like you always tell men all the time,
step it up, be a family man, be traditional values.
If you wanna have a higher caliber woman,
then you need to elevate your finances.
Quit living paycheck to paycheck.
Get a second source of income, right?
Yeah, yeah.
No, that makes a lot of sense.
And it comes with the
whole red pill, blue pill movement. And I always tell people this is like, you know, I actually
know quite a few of those podcasters that do like the whole red pill, blue pill thing. And they're
great guys. They're great guys, nothing against them. But I think what you know, they need to
clarify is, you know, the people that are watching these influencers
and content creators,
they're not at that stage of the game
where they can't just go blankly,
just go ahead and down anyone
because they haven't made it to that point in life
where they've achieved greatness, right?
So no, I totally agree.
So my follow-up question would be,
I know you teach women, okay,
how to find high value men, okay?
And some men, they might go ahead and be like,
what, like, what do you mean?
Because I feel like there's a lot of women
in the online space essentially that, you know,
try to attract high value men,
but they're like only fan creators.
So is that what you're doing?
You're teaching any type of woman
how to find a high value man or what's,
who's your avatar?
My avatar is highly successful women who are sophisticated.
So no offense to the only fans girls
or girls that are sex workers,
but that's not what my aim is for
because I'm kind of against the whole gold digging,
sugar babying, sugar daddy thing,
because I hate to put religion in there,
but I'm a Christian,
and that kind of goes against my core values
because I feel with any bad thing like that
that you're doing, it's temporary gratification.
It may feel good for right now, but guess what?
Whether you're a man and you're sugar daddying,
you could go broke.
Or you could croak.
A woman, you keep going out there doing that,
your beauty only lasts for so long.
Eventually in a relationship or a marriage,
you have to have more than just your looks and sex.
Can you be sitting together on a porch
in the rocking chairs, holding hands,
and talking about the good old days,
and laughing, and talking about
your accomplishments you made?
Not how many times that you were shaking your booty on OnlyFans.
So it's a very vicious cycle.
So who I help are the highly successful women,
the doctors, the attorneys, the self-starting women,
the business owners.
There's so many women who own trucking companies,
who own tow truck companies, who own construction companies. Maybe they
inherited it or something, their dads ran it, or their law enforcement, their firefighters.
They're highly successful women, but sometimes they don't have the femininity that they should
have because they're in a job where they're forced to have to be more masculine because
if they show a sign of weakness, then they're not an effective leader. So I help them be able to as we call it code switch so
they can take the masculine and feminine energy and know when and where
to use it essentially. I help them do that and really tap into their femininity
because most women have it it's just they've either not gotten a chance to
use it or sadly in society, you know in the 90s
You know, we were both kids in the 90s all those talk shows that we watched preached nothing but strong independent women
You don't need a man. You don't need a man. Don't comb your hair. Don't look good
Don't be the best you can be you don't need a man to open the car door for you
You don't need a man to pay for dinner
So now these women are
in the masculine role. And sadly, the ones who are highly successful that I deal with,
they're now having to deal with men who now want to have their hot girl summer. They're
the ones who are feminine. So they're like, how do I get how do I put myself in a position
to be around those masculine men and not those feminine men that I'm I'm encountering because I'm giving off
the masculine energy. I mean that makes sense so so two follow-up questions that
I have for you is I know that you just explained to us exactly like the type of
woman that you actually help yeah but are you telling me that like let's say
for example you have a woman who works at Walmart okay what it's it's not a
high-paying job they're working, are you seeing they don't deserve to find love
No, they can absolutely find love but there's levels to it. So for someone at that level, you know with every
Dating element there has to be a common ground, you know aside from just looks and just sex
So if she is a Walmart worker retail, maybe she can't have that CEO of that company,
but she would do well with a firefighter or someone who still wants to be in the more
provider role, but they have more of a common ground. That's what I'm saying. It has to
be someone who can be in those social circles, but you never know that girl who is the Walmart
worker or the retail worker, she may know how to level herself up and be a great client with enough potential to be able to move in
and out of those circles.
But when you're in the higher circles, you have to be able to communicate at the dinners,
at the brunches, at the corporate meetings or the events that these types of men have.
And if you're there, you can't talk about, you know,
the clients that you have at Walmart.
It's not a common ground.
So what if you got like a supermodel working at Walmart?
Like you don't think a pretty girl got an advantage
over somebody who's more highly successful,
but let's say they're not a looker?
Yes and no, let me explain why.
Because after a certain age,
men want more than just looks I'm finding. Okay. So these higher caliber men, like they love
beautiful girls for bedroom dates, but- What is a bedroom date?
Ooh, a bedroom date is pretty much a classy way of saying you're a booty call.
Okay. So that's like basically the new term now is what the kids are saying?
That's what I coined. It's called bedroom date.
Bedroom date.
Okay.
It's actually worse than a booty call though because girls who
are getting bedroom dated think they're in a relationship and
they're like falling for the guy but really he has you on his
roster on location.
Give us a scenario.
Okay.
So an example of a bedroom date would be a girl who only gets
the late-night calls to hang, only gets Netflix and chill.
She never gets taken to dinner.
And even sometimes she's asked by him
to bring dinner to him.
It's not reciprocated.
It's not reciprocated.
But because out of desperation,
because she hasn't dated anyone in months or even years,
she feels like she's in a relationship
when really he's just using her body
like you know he's swiping a credit card. You know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of that movie
uh Bridesmaid you know with that with that uh the main star and then she's she's over there in bed
with uh you know the side dude with the Porsche. Exactly. The Porsche and then he's just like gotta go
like you know. That is that is like the ultimate,
like that's the best analogy you can give.
She was like the ultimate bedroom date.
And it's funny as when I was younger,
I used to love that movie, but now watching it,
I'm sad for her because she was getting bedroom dated
that whole movie and he, he,
she literally had to hop over his fence when,
when he told her that he was done with her for the night.
That's hella funny.
Yeah.
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Anyways, anyways.
Oh, goodness.
That's why we're married guys,
because we're able to have conversations like this,
husband and wife, right?
So, okay, now to go back to your original answer,
which I like because you're articulating yourself well,
and I think anybody that's listening to this,
they're probably like, damn, she makes a point.
But I sort of want to counter what you said about, you know,
men that are looking at a woman of certain status.
I feel as men, let's say for example,
we all know that men at their prime are in their 30s.
That's when men develop mentally.
They have, they're going to be in the best financial state majority of the time.
I'm not saying all the time guys,
but majority of the time they will.
And then for majority of men, right?
I feel like they had a disadvantage probably
in their teenage years or in their 20s,
trying to impress girls their age
when girls are at their peak, right?
And typically from what I recall, you know,
I would have friends be like,
yeah, she likes older guys, you know,
even though I never had that problem,
but they're like older guys.
And I'm like, okay.
So I know I see the red pill, blue pill stuff now,
and I see kids in their twenties and in their teenage years,
and they're like, oh, girls like, you know,
dudes my age, like in their ths, in their 40s now.
And I get it because it's the money, their maturity,
and you know, the younger generation thinks that guys
my age are ready to settle down with them.
So my question to you is, if a guy has been going through it
with females, and let's say they weren't the best looking guy,
they weren't in shape in their 20s,
and they're going into their 30s and now they're ultra successful. I like to compare this to
what's that famous actor Michael B Jordan is that what his name is? Yeah from Creed right? The dude
like you remember when that host on the red carpet was L'O'Oreal, yeah, I felt for him for that.
Right, but let me explain it.
So she used to pick on him in high school,
used to call him a nerd, and then he's in his prime,
he just did Creed, Creed 2 or whatever.
She's like, hey, you know,
how does it feel to be on the top of your game
as like one of the most popular actors, right?
And he was just like, oh, it feels good,
but yeah, you remember you were talking shit, right? So I feel for like majority of the most popular actors, right? And he was just like, oh, it feels good. But yeah, you remember you were talking shit, right?
So I feel for like majority of the guys
that are making real money,
especially because we're out here in Miami
and everybody got money out here.
It's like, why would a guy that has suffered
in his 20s and his 18s by getting alienated
by let's say beautiful women or the top tier women in their teenage years
and in their 20s, go ahead and give those women now that are the same age as them the opportunity.
Because to be honest, I mean, I've never had issues with women, but if I was one of these guys that
was like no disrespect, but a nerd or, you know, didn't get chicks when they were young,
why would I give them the time of day in my 30s
when I'm like, I'm ripped, I'm wealthy,
I'm looking good, I'm in my top peak.
I would rather want somebody that looks good.
Look, somebody that's like fired, like in their 18 to 21.
I mean, this is, it is what it Okay. I'm keeping it real right. Yes.
Fortunately for me my wife she's very beautiful you know you guys I'm not even going to go into
her age there's no need to but I mean you look better than most 20 year olds anyways. So answer
that for me. Okay um I agree with you actually. Okay. So but let me but let me tell you what ends
up happening. So initially those guys use those girls and they have fun because they're fun. Yeah when they first get their money
They're gonna do that. But what ends up happening is those 18 to 21 year olds have a rotation as well
So what's gonna end up happening is they get that instant gratification? They get the sex they get all that enjoyment from those girls
But initially what's gonna happen or eventually what's gonna happen is they're gonna look over in the bed
And see that it's empty because that girl's on that rotation and they're lonely and they're lonely
So they're gonna realize dang sex is good
But I really want a warm body and someone genuine beside me to care for me to care for me to give me that
So yeah, they're gonna do that a few years and then when it gets old they're gonna actually marry someone who is within their level. And if you notice what I notice,
they normally marry like a nice girl from like a small town or something. A humble girl. A humble
girl, absolutely. But I feel like now with social media that's getting harder and harder to do.
Because like you gotta think about it like this and this is my perspective from from a man right is the fact that you know back in 2008 it was
like no 2006 damn getting old 2006 when I graduated from high school guys right
you know I was in a small town and and and I was in the East Bay you know which
is the San Francisco Bay Area in California, and everybody knew everybody.
So it's just like, if you were the top dude,
if you were top G in your high school,
it doesn't mean you were top G across the country, right?
Because there's always gonna be somebody better than you,
but now with social media,
it's exposed everybody to everybody.
So it's just like, how do you compete
when you're not the best looking dude or gal?
How do you compete when you don't have the looking dude or gal? How do you compete when you
don't have the most money, you don't live the lifestyle, and then let's say for example you're
in a relationship right now in 2025 right as a youngster you know 18, 25, even 30s right? Because
I've seen the dating scene right now it's horrible right And now people have to compete with the mindset of,
well, I can always do better.
Okay, well, this is my answer to that.
The biggest thing is the A word, accountability.
And it's simply, you have to be accountable
and know what it is that you can get
and what it is that you can't get.
And also be accountable that,
hey, you haven't
kept yourself up. Maybe you're losing your hair. Maybe you're starting to get a dad bod.
Maybe you're a girl and you got a little bit of the jelly rolls going on. It's being accountable
and knowing that hey, even though you may want something, it may not be for you. So
unless you're putting in the work to get that, you need to date within your league. That's
something I talk to women about all the time. Doesn't mean you have to get that you need to date within your league. That's something I talk to women about all the time.
Doesn't mean you have to get down to that supermodel body
and get that, but you do also have to have a reality check
and know because you're not gonna be
in that tip-top shape physically or mentally,
you need to get someone within your league.
So are you saying that like people's family and friends
are just inflating their head?
Absolutely, they're lying to them.
Like I had very honest parents.
I went through an ugly duckling phase.
Anybody that knows me from my small town
or has even seen me on social media,
I show the before pictures, you tease me about it.
I was emo at one point and had ugly blonde streaks
that looked like a raccoon.
Oh my gosh, I hate thinking about it.
But anyways, what did I do?
I gave myself, I started giving myself makeovers at 12 years old, because like,
eventually the teasing was out of control, and I couldn't
handle it anymore. And I'm like, I'm not going to go through life
like this, and be a dork my whole life. So each year,
something you always preach to is every year, you should be
getting better and better. And that's essentially what I did.
And then my mom started seeing the changes in me
and she poured into me and she was like,
let me put my daughter in pageants.
My mom put me in pageants so that I can have the etiquette,
the poise, I could stand up straight,
I could feel confident speaking,
I could feel just confident in life.
Because guess what, even in dating,
you have to be confident on a date,
you have to be able to articulate yourself,
you can't just sit there like a mute.
Yeah, you're right.
I mean, you gotta look good.
I think you perform good and then you talk good
and you have that level of confidence
and then people, you know, they're just more intrigued.
Absolutely.
So, okay, with that being said,
you gave yourself a makeover, you said around 12?
14, something like that?
Yeah, 12.
Okay, so around the age of 12, you gave yourself a makeover.
I mean, obviously you worked for MAC for like 15 years.
You were one of the best out in Cali
because it was crazy, just short story guys.
Last year, we went to a Friendsgiving.
It was a Friendsgiving, right?
Friendsgiving, yeah.
Yeah, Doral Beach.
And then one of the guys that was there,
he's also MAC artist that runs his own like makeup agency.
Like he knew about Britney and we were like, what the hell?
Like small world, right?
So with that being said,
what would you say is the biggest beauty mistake
that women in 2025 are making
that's keeping them single right now?
They're still doing their makeup like they did in their 20s.
Or if they're in their 20s,
they're still- Oh snap!
Or if they're in their 20s,
they're still doing their makeup like they did in their 20s. Or if they're in their 20s, they're still. Who's that? Or if they're in their 20s, they're still doing their makeup like they did in their teens.
Damn.
So let me tell you,
the biggest way you can tell a woman's age
is by how she does her makeup.
When you're really young, you wear hot pink,
you wear green, you wear blue, glitter, all that stuff.
I did it.
But guess what?
As I started getting older,
when I transitioned from my 20s to my 30s,
you actually wear less makeup.
And in Mac, we used to call it a whole lot of nothing.
You wear a whole lot of nothing to look like you're not wearing a lot.
But what happens is these women are still like,
I'm still gonna wear my purple eyeshadow.
I'm still gonna wear my blue liner and that hot pink lip.
And while that was fun in Y2K and the 10s,
now it's very like, it's scary because we're going back to the traditional
ways which is what I was going to talk about later, but everything is going back not necessarily
super conservative but to like a softer, gentler time.
That's why we have like the soft girl era or what I always tease you about being, you
love quiet luxury or stealth wealth.
It's very, very discreet.
So if you have this loud offensive makeup,
how do you fit that narrative?
Just like the housing market is doing a correction,
there's gonna be a correction made in the dating world
and also in the mindset.
We're gonna start seeing people sit back down to dinner,
turn off their phones, put their electronics away,
and get back to being ladies and gentlemen again.
So with that, yes, the biggest beauty thing
is wearing too much, not wearing a hairstyle
that fits your face, and just you're not,
putting your grooming up to the best standards,
but it's the makeup that's too much all the time,
all the time.
No, that makes a lot of sense.
Okay, so let's pivot real quick.
Since we're still on the subject of people dating in 2025,
what is your opinion on dating apps?
So with dating apps, okay,
let me get a little bit specific here.
What is the number one mistake
based on what your clients tell you?
Because I because I
know I always like to like listen on the background guys when she's doing her client calls and
I'm like wow that's interesting but what do you say is the biggest mistake you see women
making in online dating that's keeping them single.
I wish I could say it was just one thing can I give you two.
Yeah sure.
Okay so one of them being they're showing too much.
What do you mean by that?
Like thong, shorts that are cupping the butt,
like they're showing their body.
So are you saying like they're exposing themselves
too much like on Instagram and Facebook and all that?
Instagram, Facebook, dating apps.
So what's happening is they're getting bedroom dated
because they're only being shown in a sexual way.
Doesn't mean you still can't show your physique,
but you need to wear like a fitted dress, fitted slacks.
You can't help it if you're shapely
and you're just wearing a dress, you can't help it.
But if you're wearing something
where you're scantily clad,
it just, it sends the wrong message
and it attracts the wrong type of men. Got it. So that's like the biggest thing is that they're wearing
the the wrong type of thing or if it's not too sexy it's too frumpy. They're not
dressing for their age. So they're either dressing too old or they're dressing too
young and they look they look silly. Kind of like how we see the guys who are
still wearing the tall tees and the fitted hats and the Jordans and all that stuff.
They're dressed like how you dressed in high school, right?
Yeah.
Yeah, so what I see the women still doing is they're still,
even though Apple Bottoms has made a comeback,
I just saw last night their ad,
they're still wearing the Apple Bottoms,
but they don't have an apple bottom anymore.
Or they're you know, they're still wearing things like that.
So it's it's it's kind of ick.
And then the number two thing is that they're trauma dumping on the dating apps and on social
media.
Okay, so if I was I mean, I know what it is is because obviously you're my wife, but like explain
it to somebody who obviously doesn't know what trauma or drama dumping is.
Trauma dumping is something that can happen on a date where you talk about you have mommy
issues, you have daddy issues, you're just you're passing that you have problems.
It's been 10 years since I've been on a date.
Like even if it has like nobody wants to hear that.
Yeah. And on top of that, like that's it has like nobody wants to hear that yeah and
on top of that like that's not something that's gonna make or break a
relationship like I don't need to know that it's it's and so what it does
though is make it appear or make it quite evident that you have issues and
nobody wants anyone with issues yeah not saying we all don't have something a
little bit nobody's perfect but you don't do all you don't share like that on a first date it's really gross so
it's not just happening on the first date and the interaction it's actually
happening on social media so you'll see the men and the women on their stories
they they'll they'll record themselves crying that's a form of trauma dumping
they'll go on there and say you know there are no more, you know, there are no more good men out here.
There are no more good women out here.
And it's like, so if I'm a woman
and I see a guy doing that and I go,
oh, there's something wrong with him.
He keeps picking bad women.
And vice versa.
If you're a woman and you keep saying,
there's no good men out here,
then the men are thinking,
well, it's because you're not picking the right men.
Why do you keep, you know, going in a circle? So that kind of thing. The other thing I say they do, it's a you're not picking the right men. Why do you keep going in a circle?
So that kind of thing.
The other thing I say they do,
it's a form of trauma dumping, it's crashing out.
That's when someone completely spazzes out on social media.
So give us an example of that.
One of those would be like,
posting screenshots of someone,
talking about your breakup and then tagging the person,
showing yourself destroying property,
just acting up and screaming.
And sadly, this is done constantly.
I don't understand how people can like legit
just like record themselves acting up.
Like you gotta hold the phone while you're doing this.
Like it's sort of like, okay, one, two, three.
Like how does that even make sense like come
on like your parents taught you better than that and the in the sad part about
it honestly is they think that like they're getting attention because when
they view their stories they're like oh my gosh 500 a thousand people or 2,000
people viewed this and like and they're laughing at you
and now they've screen recorded it so listen to this ladies and guys they're now screen
recording you and they're putting it on Facebook or they're putting it on YouTube and now you're
going viral because they're laughing at you.
Yeah that's wild.
So. Okay, now, as far as dating apps go,
all right, because there's so many out there.
Let's say we have some introverted daters
that are listening to this podcast right now,
men and women.
Okay.
What would be your best advice?
Let's say if somebody was like,
well, Brittany, I don't got time.
I don't got time to like socialize and stuff.
So these dating apps, like I can focus, you know,
the dating has a couple hours.
Like what would you recommend is the best way
to approach dating apps?
And then is there any specific dating apps
that you would recommend?
So none of the free ones.
And the reason why is a lot of those people don't realize it.
It's just hookup swinger thing.
So most of the time when they're swiping left or swiping right, it's like, you know, do
you want the mystery meat at Dollar Tree?
Or do you want to get your meat from, you know, Whole Foods?
So essentially getting like the tenders, the Bumbles, all those that are free, you're pretty
much getting the Dollar Tree of dating, you know, or if that's what it is that you're
looking for. much getting the Dollar Tree of dating, you know, or if that's what it is you're looking
for. But if you're saying you're a high caliber woman or a high caliber man, someone who isn't
willing to pay a monthly fee to invest in themselves isn't worth your time. Someone
who is paying that monthly fee to invest in themselves, they're not paying to go hook
up because they know they can swipe on Tinder and get that for free. They're actually on
there to date with intention
and to date with purpose.
So I would say any of the paid ones,
they also have ones now,
if you even just type in on Google,
for people who, they have one for women and men
who make six figures and above.
So you're making sure that you're, you know,
keeping everything within your circle
because once you reach a certain level financially,
you normally want to date and marry within your circle and if you look at the elite
that's what they do they kind of keep it going and they encourage their kids to
do the same thing so that so that that would be the other thing also if let's
say you know you're still scared you don't want to invest that much then
tighten up your social media because guess, even though it's not supposed to be,
the biggest growing dating app is Instagram, Facebook,
TikTok even in some ways, but it's your calling card.
Your social media is your calling card.
That is your ticket in for work.
That is your ticket in for dating,
for making business relationships and new friendships.
So it's not just taking these, you know, everyone's gonna hate me for saying these ugly Android
pics because I'm seeing it.
It's using an iPhone and you know, I'm team brown skin because I'm brown skin as you guys
can tell.
It's making sure you have the correct lighting.
So that means if you are using an iPhone, you're attaching an LED light with a yellow tone to it
so that you can actually see your complexion and your face.
I just gave you guys free sauce right there.
And I charge for that.
I love that, I love that.
Yeah.
So, Brittany, real quick, man, we're running out of time.
So let's get down to this last question
and then we'll allow the audience to go ahead
and you can provide your socials so then they know where to find you. get down to this last question and then we'll allow the audience to go ahead and
you can provide your socials so then they know where to find you. We might do
a part two because this is a pretty good conversation guys I mean man you have so
much knowledge in this field. So okay what do you got to say to the people
that are calling you a gold digger because you're teaching women
how to actually find a high value man, okay?
I mean, obviously you put a couple reels out there
almost teasing, you know, the brokeies.
I did.
Which was pretty funny because, you know,
some of those comments were like crazy.
But how do you respond to that?
Like what is your thought process?
Well, I love it.
I, you know, all press is good press.
So I do like that.
But what I will say is I'm a traditional woman.
So if, let's just, let me just-
And when you say traditional woman, what do you mean?
Let me explain.
And I'll even give a little history lesson for all of us in here that'll
really just reel it all in.
So when I say I'm a traditional woman, I believe in traditional gender roles.
That means me as a wife, I'm there to nurture.
I'm there to give peace.
I'm there to cook.
I'm there to cook, I'm there to clean, and I'm also there to be your shoulder
and your support system.
Because remember, the man is the head, but I'm the neck.
So I have to be there to help keep everything afloat.
That's my role.
So with that being said, I wanted to meet you,
a husband that believes in traditional gender roles as well.
So that means you're the provider, you're going to protect, you're going to do what's
necessary to ensure that our family is safe and secure and that I still feel good as a
woman.
We still have our date nights, but we still do stuff at home.
That's what I mean by traditional.
So with that, and it's me carrying myself appropriately as well because I know
wherever I go whatever I do I'm a reflection of you. So that's why I have
the ideals that I have and that's why I can say what I say. I'm not I'm not a
gold digger I'm not a sugar baby yeah none of that stuff. So so what do you
got to say to all the ladies out there that I guess are trying to be boss babes?
Are they going against the grain of being a traditional woman and that's why they're
having a hard time finding a traditional man?
Yes.
The reason why and brief history lesson is because unfortunately we've all forgotten
that what a man and a woman's role are.
Especially one of my videos that as you said went, went viral as far as dates and the rules
and responsibilities of a date.
Do you remember homecoming in prom?
Yeah.
Okay, so, or even back then
when you would date in high school,
did you ever go and have the girl drive and pick you up?
No.
What did you do?
I picked her up.
Okay, and if it was homecoming, or prom, didn't you get her a corsage?
Yeah.
Okay.
Even though it wasn't Ruth's Chris or Fleming's or Nobu or Javier's or, you know, any of
the places, let's say you were just taking her to Cheesecake Factory, which I love, by
the way.
Did she, did you tell her to open up her purse and go 50-50 or did you pay for dinner?
No, I paid. I rest my case because traditionally even as a young man it's
always taught to the young man, hey you hold out your hand for a lady, you open
the door, you put a corsage on her when you're going on a date, you make
sure you know you put your jacket over her shoulders when you're going on a date. You make sure you put your jacket over her shoulders
when it's cold, and then you pay for dinner
that you can afford at the time.
So what's happened now is the role's reversed.
Because us women were so focused on being boss babes,
and we were pushed education, education, education,
which is great, we forgot to let men be men and men lead.
And so because we forgot that, men forgot too.
Not all men, but some of these lower frequency men forgot that what their role was.
And so because all these boss babes said they can do it, they're now paying for dinner.
So that's what's happened.
So what I encourage women to do do because they're saying they like it
But then what happens is when they get into a long-term relationship or a marriage
They end up presenting the man when the man has to ask them for money and they end up saying well
You're not contributing to the household. So my thing that I tell them is to just be patient be mindful
work on your femininity and
Don't settle if that's not something
that you can handle.
If you know you can't handle being with a man
who's not going to treat you like a lady,
and you can't like not throw it in his face later,
then you need to just be single
until you can find that person.
Wow, okay, that's amazing.
Man, I didn't even get to ask half my questions, guys.
But with that being said,
I think we're gonna be doing a part two pretty soon guys.
Brittany, where can my audience go ahead and find you?
They can find me on Facebook at Brittany Charm.
They can find me on Instagram, Charm Beauty and Connection.
If you just type it into Google, you'll find it too.
And I actually have a Facebook group called
Makeup and Manners for
Modern Matchmaking. It's a private Facebook group but I allow the highly successful women to join.
You just have to make sure you answer the questionnaires and put in your contact
information because it's a secure safe place just for women. That's why I asked for that
information so that they know it's a sisterhood. So it's meant for us women to connect
and for me to provide feedback and show my experiences.
I love that, I love that.
