All right, so today we're going to do some TikTok reaction videos. And it looks like the videos they have queued up for me today are feminist dating videos. And, you know, the way this used to work is that my producers would, we're doing some kind of TikTok reaction. They'd say, well, do you want to react to these kinds of videos? And I would say yes or no. But at this point, they don't even ask me anymore because I think they know that I'll just say no. Because if they said, well, do you want to sit there for 10 minutes and react to feminist dating videos? I would say, I'm not, no, I'm not going to do that.

I don't care if it's good content. I'm not, I'm not going to put myself through that. And so now there's no conversation. It's just the videos are put up in front of me. And here we are. So we're going to go through some of these videos of feminists talking about their dating experiences and giving dating advice. Go ahead. Why do you think men care about a woman's body count?

Do you? People actually care about that shit. Men in general. If a man is fucking asking me a body count, he can get . Who gives a . Oh my god, that's so stupid. stupid people actually ask that yes you okay well then you're

talking to the wrong man if a man is ever asking about your body count you're talking to the wrong man and he can get like that's so stupid can I ask you this then so what do you think about the analogy if one key can open many locks it's known as a master key

as opposed to if you have a lock that can be opened by any key it's a lock I think that if a no if a woman is an analogy to you, then you're not ready to be talking to a woman. And you should probably get f***. So if a woman is the key to you, talk to your mom. Talk to your sister. Talk to your cousin. I don't know. Get a real life. And get fucking. Thank you. And a woman is not a key. Thank you. So, a few issues here. Red flags. If you're a few issues here, red flags. If you're a

a single man looking for the woman of your dreams and someone who you might want to spend the rest of your life with, this is not going to be it. Before we even get to the content of what is being said, when you come across a woman who cannot say two words without dropping an F-bomb, he can get f-boh, that's so stupid. Go the other direction, like, as fast as you can. That's going to tell you everything you need to know about her. And, yeah, now, it's also bad if there's a man who can't say two words, not saying a drop me an F bomb. It's worse for a woman, though. It just is. Fuck you. And that's also advice for women in general. If you are having trouble finding

a man, you might want to think also about how you're presenting yourself, how you're speaking, and you see there the problem. But then we'd look at the content of what she's saying. If someone even refers to it as their body count, body count, of course, if you're an old fogy like me, maybe you aren't familiar with this lingo here. But body count means, the number of people you've slept with. You ain't even trying to compare body counts. Why, huh, huh, huh? Should I keep going all day?

I'm out. I'm out. Now we call that body count. If you're talking to someone who even uses that phrase to describe their past sexual encounters, it doesn't matter what the number is, again, go the other way. So it could be if you're in a dating world, if you're a man talking to a woman, it's a good thing maybe to ask her. It's to say, what's your body count?

Because if she says anything other than words to the effect of me, my body count, what? What are you talking about? It's not how... Like, if she reacts that way to that question, it's a good sign. If she drops a number, oh, here's my body count. Starts talking about her body count, bad. Whatever the number is, it's bad. I can think of nothing of a more dehuman.

It's like it is literally dehumanizing. Okay, now you're just referring to... They're not people. They're not people who you had a sexual encounter with. It's not that they're just bodies, right? Body count, that usually means dead. They're usually referring to people who have been killed. It's not you're imagining this dead bodies in your wake.

That's the kind of like image that comes to mind. So someone who speaks that way is already another big red flag. But yes, no matter how we put it, if you're talking to a woman who's had many random sexual encounters, then yeah, that's not someone who you want. People can be reformed. They can change. They can go through like a conversion experience. People can change. We have to allow for that.

Well, if it's going to help end all of this madness, I'll allow it. But a woman like this, especially, who doesn't even want to consider the possibility that it might be wrong to conduct yourself this way, well, then, you know, that tells you everything you need to know about her character, her self-respect or lack thereof. Just before you even get two words into this, we've got, you know, 50 different red flags. All right, let's go to the next one. Do you reach for your purse on the first date? Yes, always. To show my fake kindness.

You know better, no. I don't pay for any first day. You're asking me out. But you don't even do the like... No, I'm not going to pretend. No. You know what it is. The date is like $100. You're fine. Oh, you mean you think that I go to a restaurant on a first date. You're assuming that I date men that would take me to a restaurant. Yeah, but my hand never like gets to the purse. Yeah, you don't touch. I don't touch it. I like play pretend and then I'm like, oh, then they then they pay. Yes, of course. I do it. It's like a guilt thing. I always reach to like show them. Well, okay, the other day. I dug around in here. I felt my wallet. And I just kept digging. And he was waiting for me to finish digging.

And then he finally just paid. But I wanted him to think I was nice. Yes. And then, of course, they pull it out and I say, oh, are you sure? The are you sure is good. But if they don't pay for it on the first date, just the first date, I say no second day. I think that's weird. Third day, we can start talking about that.

So you, okay, first of all, you expect, you expect them to pay on the first date, but then by the third date, you could talk about them not paying. so you want them to be less invested as the date, as time goes on. Should it be the other way around, if anything, that on the first date, when they don't even know you, like they're not going to pay. But then as you start to have a relationship, now they are paying, wouldn't you expect that to be the way that that evolves? Oh, he's the captain obvious guy. But in general, I'm an old-fashioned person.

I believe in chivalry. I believe in all that. I believe in gender roles. I do. Gasp. Yeah, I can say. think in, you know, all things being equal, it makes sense for the man to pay. But you as a woman cannot expect that. You cannot demand that. You have no right to be disappointed if you don't get it,

unless you also believe in chivalry and believe in gender roles. What you cannot do as a woman, now here's some real mansplaining, as a woman pointing at you, you cannot recoil at the very idea of gender roles, but then expect them to pay. Because guess what? Cupcake? That's a gender role. So you can't, you know what, I'm going to discard all the gender roles that have to do with me, but then expect the man to still abide by every gender role that will benefit me. That doesn't work. You don't get to do that. Y'all can't have it both ways, man. So if you want to be an enlightened, progressive feminist woman who I don't believe in gender roles, men and women are exactly the same, then pay for your own damn meal.

That's it. You can't expect a man to, you know, it takes two to tango. This goes two ways. Gender roles do not just apply to one person. You don't get to get rid of all the gender roles except for the one where you get to have a free meal, okay? No. So, if you are a traditional-minded woman and you comport yourself that way and you fulfill your end of the bargain, you know, part of being chivalrous for a man is to be a man of dignity and a man who commands respect and acts in a respectable way, if you also are that way as a woman, which means that you're not dropping F-bombs, you're not talking about your damn body count. Guess what? If you have a body count that you refer to that way, you are precluded from having anyone pay for a meal for you. You're not that kind of woman. Sorry. I'm sorry. I'm not sorry. But if you comport yourself with dignity and you believe in tradition, you know, you believe that men are men and women are women. And that's how you act and you expect and you want to find a man who has those same values. Great. That's perfect. That's the way it should be. But you gotta do you have to hold up your end of the bargain. You just do. In the not too distant past, private citizens used to be largely that, if you can imagine, private. What's changed?

Dating apps, the place where we all go because we're living in a capitalist hell, where we have neither the time nor the sense of community to actually meet people at IRL. Hi, it's Celine Chica. Let's unpack the downfall of society, one Tinder bio at a time. Shut it. Stop it. She said we're going to unpack. She said, let's unpack. So we're going to move on from that.

I have no tolerance for this. Let's unpack. The moment you say that I tune out, I don't at what you're about to say next. Maybe you're about to unveil the secrets of the universe. Maybe you have a cure for cancer. The moment you say, let's unpack. If you came to me and said, I have a cure for cancer, let's unpack it. I'm going to say, I don't want to hear it. Get out of my face. Get out of my face. I'll get inside your face. Here's why dating as a feminist feels impossible sometimes and what to do about it. I'm Lily, a top matchmaker turned intersectional feminist dating coach. And this question right here is so important. Hi, Maggie, new friend. We DMed about her question. Let me read it out to you. I took notes. So,

You're feeling apathy, like dating. All right, stop it. This is already taking too long. I'm already bored. Just go to the next one. Did you know that the happiest demographic of people is women over 30 without children who aren't married that live alone? Welcome back to part two of things I learned from my feminist mother. You do not need to get married.

My mother was born in 1952. For the first 22 years of her life, women were not allowed to have their own bank accounts or credit cards. This changed in 1974, thanks to Ruth Bader Ginsburg. When I was a little girl, I was obsessed with Disney, and the idea that somewhere out there was a prince who was coming to rescue me. Each and every time I would bring up this fantasy, my mother would quietly and gently remind me, sweetie, it's okay if you never get married.

She told me that marriage was not all it was cracked up to be, and that happily ever after was more often an image that people painted rather than a reality. And now, thanks to that lesson, I fall into the demographic of the happiest people on the planet. Oh, what a shock. I am 35 years old.

I live alone. I am not married, nor have I ever been married, and I don't have any children. It's pretty fantastic. Oh, yeah, really. You're exuding happiness. I also think it's funny when people reference ladies over 30. See, the Prince Charming never came for you

because your hairstyle, you look like my little pony. So that maybe that maybe hadn't done that then you would have had the Prince Charming. Can you imagine this? I didn't even want to make fun of it really because it's it's like she had no chance in life. When you got a mom, when you're a little girl and you're watching the princess, you know, movies as all little girls. Like my own three-year-old daughter is going through the phase right now that in my experience can last for like three years where she only wears princess. I have not seen her wear anything but a princess costume for the last four and a half week. She wears it to bed.

She wears it. She will not wear anything else. But do you imagine going up to a little girl watching the princess, you know, into the princess thing and then saying, you know, that's not real. You won't be, you won't be happily ever after. In fact, in fact, little child, you'll be better off living alone and dying alone. That's what would be good for you. So she claims that the happiest demographic are middle-aged, single women who, who are. who live alone are the happiest.

I guess this is one of those, what's the source? Trust me, bro. I guess this is one of those situations because there's no, it's hard enough to measure happiness. And so anytime you hear a new study indicates this or that about happiness, who's happy, who's not happy? It's just like it's impossible to actually measure that scientifically, especially across entire demographics. What's the level of happiness in this demographic?

It's not possible to actually do that in the first place. I mean, the only way you can even begin to measure happiness is to interview, ask people, survey people, and say, are you happy with this? Survey says, it tells you what people will say about their happiness. And so if this is true, I don't know what study she's been, let's just pretend she's basing it on some study that found that single middle-aged women without children who live alone or the happiness.

Let's pretend there's some study that says that. And probably there is, because the study says anything. What that tells you is that single middle-aged women without kids who live alone are the most likely to tell you when you survey them that they are happy. But that doesn't mean that they actually are. And in fact, in this case, we're pretty sure that it doesn't because they've a vested interest in insisting that they are happy. They want you to think that they're happy because they don't want to publicly confront their own unhappiness. And it also isn't, this is where we can, we don't need a study. we can use our own common sense and our own understanding of human nature to know that is very, very rare to find, like I say, it's impossible.

There are some people who have a vocation where they're called to, you know, to be hermits living in the woods somewhere, writing the next great American novel. I don't know, like those kinds of people exist. But for most people, happiness is shared. It is something that we find in our relationships and especially our relationships with our families. That's how we're human beings. This is how we are meant to be. And so when you reject that, you are going to be lonely and you're not going to be happy.

So instead you'll dye your hair pink and blue and you'll make TikTok videos insisting otherwise, which is, you know, that's the number one indication that someone isn't happy. If someone is on TikTok saying, I'm happy, that's the least happiest person that you'll come across. So.
