Starting point is 00:00:00 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.
Starting point is 00:00:16 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.
Starting point is 00:00:42 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.
Starting point is 00:00:55 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?
Starting point is 00:01:16 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,
Starting point is 00:01:53 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.
Starting point is 00:02:12 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
Starting point is 00:02:39 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.
Starting point is 00:03:10 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.
Starting point is 00:03:25 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
Starting point is 00:03:49 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.
Starting point is 00:04:19 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.
Starting point is 00:04:37 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
Starting point is 00:05:21 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,
Starting point is 00:05:56 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.
Starting point is 00:06:14 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.
Starting point is 00:06:37 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
Starting point is 00:07:01 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.
Starting point is 00:07:21 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,
Starting point is 00:07:43 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,
Starting point is 00:08:01 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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.
Starting point is 00:08:36 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,
Starting point is 00:08:53 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
Starting point is 00:09:30 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
Starting point is 00:10:02 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
Starting point is 00:10:36 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
Starting point is 00:11:22 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?
Starting point is 00:11:53 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.
Starting point is 00:12:18 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.
Starting point is 00:12:35 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.
Starting point is 00:12:54 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
Starting point is 00:13:22 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,
Starting point is 00:13:40 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,
Starting point is 00:13:52 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,
Starting point is 00:14:15 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,
Starting point is 00:14:37 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.
Starting point is 00:14:53 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
Starting point is 00:15:20 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,
Starting point is 00:15:53 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,
Starting point is 00:16:10 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,
Starting point is 00:16:46 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
Starting point is 00:17:17 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
Starting point is 00:18:01 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,
Starting point is 00:18:48 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
Starting point is 00:19:06 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
Starting point is 00:19:40 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.
Starting point is 00:20:05 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.
Starting point is 00:20:23 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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
Starting point is 00:21:05 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,
Starting point is 00:21:21 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.
Starting point is 00:21:35 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.
Starting point is 00:21:56 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?
Starting point is 00:22:10 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,
Starting point is 00:22:24 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.
Starting point is 00:22:38 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.
Starting point is 00:22:55 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.
Starting point is 00:23:26 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.
Starting point is 00:23:47 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.
Starting point is 00:24:09 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
Starting point is 00:24:31 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.
Starting point is 00:24:56 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
Starting point is 00:25:16 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
Starting point is 00:25:42 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.
Starting point is 00:26:05 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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
Starting point is 00:27:08 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.
Starting point is 00:27:32 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.
Starting point is 00:27:46 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,
Starting point is 00:28:08 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
Starting point is 00:28:34 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,
Starting point is 00:29:05 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.
Starting point is 00:29:22 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.
Starting point is 00:29:40 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
Starting point is 00:30:05 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,
Starting point is 00:30:30 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
Starting point is 00:30:52 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,
Starting point is 00:31:23 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.
Starting point is 00:31:49 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
Starting point is 00:32:05 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.
Starting point is 00:32:41 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.
Starting point is 00:32:58 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.
Starting point is 00:33:20 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.
Starting point is 00:33:46 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
Starting point is 00:34:14 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
Starting point is 00:34:48 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?
Starting point is 00:35:02 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?
Starting point is 00:35:26 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,
Starting point is 00:35:58 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
Starting point is 00:36:30 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,
Starting point is 00:36:55 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.
Starting point is 00:37:15 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
Starting point is 00:37:45 and for me to provide feedback and show my experiences. I love that, I love that.
