- 1:09one, which is one of our our normies here complaining about
- 1:13her boss. Let's see.
- 1:15Hey guys, just right off the bat want to say I love the channel,
- 1:17really enjoy Brad and Clarkson. You guys playing off each other.
- 1:21Clarkson, you're a terrible influence on Brad and I
- 1:23absolutely love it. Keep it up, but here's question
- 1:29pre context. Should I just give the fuck up?
- 1:32She's a lesbian, Yeah, obviously.
- 1:34Girl. You got I got the scent, you got
- 1:36the Butch scent. And there's nothing wrong with.
- 1:40Nothing wrong with it. I think it you're kind of
- 1:41intimidating. I'm kind of scared.
- 1:43I'm a little scared of you too, but you sound.
- 1:45I know she's got power tools that she could kill me with.
- 1:47Oh my God. I'm just kidding.
- 1:50We love you girl. Thank you for the compliment.
- 1:52I'm on the complete opposite end of you guys.
- 1:55Normal lesbian quotation marks around normal.
- 2:00All right, that's. Kind of.
- 2:01I'm a psychic. Also, but the odds are on this
- 2:03channel actually, that's to be fair, there's a lot of straight
- 2:05women that watches. I think that I actually am a
- 2:07psychic. Oh my, did I tell you guys did?
- 2:10I tell you guys. Well, part of being a psychic.
- 2:12Is literally walked in today and said I think I'm in mania.
- 2:15Well, did I tell you? You know how I found out my ex
- 2:17was cheating on me was through a dream, a lucid dream where I
- 2:20knew I was dreaming and I woke up and I followed the advice of
- 2:23whatever it was that was talking to me in that dream and I found
- 2:27him cheating. I have a lot of weird dreams
- 2:28like that. So women already in general are
- 2:33very very left-leaning. Not even trying to take into
- 2:36context women within the alphabet mafia.
- 2:41I'm much more. Oh, I think they're out of
- 2:43order. This is not the one about the
- 2:44crazy boss. That's OK, They're not in the
- 2:46order I inserted them in, so it's something else.
- 2:48More central right leaning similar to you, Brad.
- 2:54Do I even bother trying anymore? Because I swear I just, you
- 2:59don't have to see absolutely a line with me on everything.
- 3:03I would prefer we have some basic common ground, but most
- 3:09women in general are very, very liberal.
- 3:13And it's it's exhausting, bro, it's exhausting.
- 3:18I'm so tired. Yeah, I would.
- 3:19I'm so. Tired.
- 3:19I'm really tired. You guys got anything?
- 3:23I love to hear it. Meanwhile, keep up the great
- 3:26work. I think that obviously you
- 3:29should not give up. I don't know.
- 3:33I I think that this is a pessimistic mindset from a lot
- 3:36of people in the gay community, and I think it's overblown.
- 3:39But it comes from experience. It does.
- 3:40It comes from experience. Lesbians is worse.
- 3:43Lesbians is worse. You're you're totally right.
- 3:46And progressives that's. Very true Gays I.
- 3:49Agree that like at least now compared to 5 or 10 years ago it
- 3:52was worse. Now gays are like a little more
- 3:55used to the idea that you might not be woke, and if you're hot
- 3:57enough, they're probably gays. Don't really have like even the
- 4:01woke ones you can, you can get it out of them.
- 4:05They're not actually woke. Like they're not.
- 4:08I mean some of them they. Pretend like they are, but then
- 4:10the minute you actually are, like come on, like you really
- 4:12think this and they're like, well, I just don't.
- 4:14I care about like, I have empathy and it's like, OK, so
- 4:16you don't think. They're literally just talking
- 4:18about. I'm not talking stop that.
- 4:20He's going to see this. I'm sure it's worse with women.
- 4:23I don't know, I. Think it's worse with women.
- 4:25What I would say is maybe expand your pool and try to like meet
- 4:28someone online or meet someone like not just super local to you
- 4:32because the bigger the pool is the more likely it is that
- 4:36you'll find someone. But don't give up like you
- 4:37should. I'm also going to preach some
- 4:39individual responsibility here, OK?
- 4:41Because not all work people are intolerable.
- 4:44They, some of them are, I would say, like some people on the
- 4:47left if you were very much woke. Refers to a subject of that that
- 4:52tends to be. OK, but if you are very much
- 4:55like entrenched in political media, if your algorithms are
- 4:58all political, you can train your brain to find woke where
- 5:01it's not off of like small disagreements.
- 5:04And I'm saying this because I used to be a lot more right
- 5:06wing, but I think maybe start with yourself and have.
- 5:10And if you want other people to have an open mind, have an open
- 5:12mind and have those discussions and if they are intolerable,
- 5:16then sure. But I think some understanding
- 5:20for both sides can. Actually another thing you can
- 5:23do that might work but also might not, but you could try it
- 5:27is like put it in your dating profile that you are something
- 5:32other than liberal like and and like on what's it?
- 5:35Called. Yeah, I have.
- 5:37Moderate in mind. That will sort itself out that
- 5:41anybody who is like unhinged, right?
- 5:44Anybody who's so close minded that they wouldn't want to date
- 5:47you because of it won't match with you in the first place.
- 5:50Yeah, you could put moderate in there that would help, but like
- 5:54don't put like your political beliefs in your bio or anything
- 5:58because like that's. AI would asks for that on hinge,
- 6:00no? I'm talking like on like Tinder
- 6:02or something. I don't know.
- 6:03Where do lesbians meet? Home Depot?
- 6:05No, I I have no idea. Actually, no.
- 6:09Home Depot is where gay guys go. Is it?
- 6:12Yeah, apparently there's like cruising.
- 6:15It's like a spot where all of us go.
- 6:17You would know from your side. I don't.
- 6:18I don't need to do that really. Because you were so familiar
- 6:21with that app. It's like I DoorDash all my
- 6:23food. I DoorDash my men too.
- 6:25They come to me. Anyways, we spend a lot of time
- 6:27on this one. We wish you the best of luck.
- 6:29And guys become a channel member.
- 6:31Yeah. Say something to make them
- 6:33become a member. Do something to make them want
- 6:36to. I don't.
- 6:39Know. You'll unlock early.
- 6:41No wait that's the wrong channel.
- 6:43You will unlock weekly members only videos.
- 6:48I know. But we've been doing this for a
- 6:51while now, and we have a while yet to go.
- 6:53So let's listen to our next voicemail.
- 6:55Oh my God. Hi so I want to tell you about
- 6:58my freak boss who is a complete and.
- 7:01Here's the one I thought degenerate.
- 7:02Goblin. Degenerate goblin is crazy.
- 7:05He has a history of like being a creep around the women in my
- 7:11workplace. Long story short, he likes to be
- 7:20disgusting. Girl.
- 7:23I need you to get to the point. Like brushed some other girl's
- 7:27hair and like touched her shoulder at this.
- 7:31That we. Had all together and everybody
- 7:32saw it and nothing was done because nobody cares because the
- 7:35company that I work for is kind of the Not to mention the other
- 7:40boss that I have is never there. He's always off to Germany or
- 7:44France. Nobody gives a So anyway, my
- 7:47piece of your boss has an issue with me getting up every 60 to
- 7:5490 minutes to stretch my legs and walk around because he has
- 7:58an issue with me existing. I guess because he's such a
- 8:04goblin and he hates women. So I'm wondering what you think.
- 8:09Maybe you think it's really funny.
- 8:10Maybe you think I should sit my ass down and get back to work.
- 8:13Bitch. Oh, like the Kim Kardashian man.
- 8:16You really love your. Show, thank you so much.
- 8:18I think it depends on how long your walks are. 5 minutes is I
- 8:23think. Yeah, but it's.
- 8:24In a corporate environment, I think it's good that you you're
- 8:27actually there's studies to prove that getting up once an
- 8:29hour be more productive. So I if I were you.
- 8:33I I'd just probably find another job challenge, get a job.
- 8:38Do that challenge. I think really my, I mean, I
- 8:41guess to be honest, I've never, I guess I've never had a boss.
- 8:44I did the first couple of years but then I've been working for
- 8:46myself so I don't have a ton of insight into the normal 9 to 5
- 8:49our. Market is really bad right now.
- 8:51That's true. But what I'm saying is I think
- 8:53when you have an entrenched bad boss, it's it's very difficult
- 8:57to dislodge them. Yeah, until I get them removed
- 9:00or fired or anything like you, you're the most realistic path
- 9:04is to to to find a new position off or transfer within your
- 9:07company or something. I want to know about the hair
- 9:10brushing. Yeah, that's weird.
- 9:12Why was it he just brushed her hair like out of nowhere?
- 9:14Like he just grabbed a brush or he used his fingers or what?
- 9:18I don't know, that is weird. That that honestly that gives
- 9:20gay. But bitch, your hair is a mess.
- 9:23But it sounds like that. Sounds like something I do.
- 9:25No, but she make it sound like he's a creep.
- 9:27Oh yeah, he sounds like a creep. I wonder why he doesn't like Is
- 9:31she lesbian? Maybe.
- 9:33If he if she's lesbian, that's probably why he it's probably
- 9:36not because you're a women, a woman, it's probably because
- 9:37you're a woman that's not available to him.
- 9:40A lot of straight men like lesbians in theory, but then
- 9:42when they meet them they get annoyed.
- 9:44Well, they only like them on certain websites, yeah, which to
- 9:48be fair, I don't like them in any context, so.
- 9:51I'll be nice to the lesbians today.
- 9:53Why? Do you have sunglasses on?
- 9:55Because I told you I was feeling manic.
- 9:57OK, I can do whatever I want. Is that what your doctor tells
- 10:00you to do in that scenario? OK.
- 10:03Buy a car tonight or something on Carvana and get it delivered.
- 10:06That's a terrible idea. Ford Bronco.
- 10:09That's what I want. That's expensive.
- 10:12It's like. You can get a used one for like
- 10:1330. You don't need that just to take
- 10:16TikTok videos in. The lighting is so good.
- 10:19For the YouTube video you do every three months, yes.
- 10:23And it's all a tax write off that that would solely be using
- 10:26it for what? What stupid idiot bitches say
- 10:29when they want to waste money, they go.
- 10:31It's attacked right off. Stupid idiot bitch is.
- 10:34Actually, I think he went too far on that one.
- 10:38Bitch twat, bitch. You asked someone 5 seconds ago.
- 10:42Because she is a. It's called normal gaze.
- 10:46We use that word. Wait, SO is fine but stupid
- 10:50idiot bitch is too far? Yes, because it was directed at
- 10:52me. OK, but not literally.
- 10:54I'm just saying I'm sorry. I don't really get it.
- 10:56I'm just being dramatic. Why?
- 10:58Don't we listen to our next voicemail?
- 10:59I. Don't really have anything this
- 11:01I. Don't need you or your brand new
- 11:02bitch, I do. Love you guys so much but I did
- 11:05have a question for Clarkson. I was wondering like if Clarkson
- 11:09still has views like from his like conservative ways that line
- 11:14and with today, like I know he's not a conservative anymore, but
- 11:17I was just wondering if he had any views that he used to have
- 11:21that he still has today. Yeah, I, I don't think a lot of
- 11:24my views changed, like not a lot.
- 11:27I think they've just expanded like particularly with like
- 11:30welfare and things like that. I used to be very much like,
- 11:33against any form of, of the federal government intervening
- 11:37in individuals lives and helping them out because I just thought
- 11:40that the government does everything terribly.
- 11:43But yeah, I mean, I, I don't know.
- 11:45What do you think? What?
- 11:47I mean at my views I, I feel like I show a lot of
- 11:49conservative views on this channel, like specifically.
- 11:52I mean non binary not being real.
- 11:54Non binary not being real, but that's just like culture war
- 11:56stuff. I'd say.
- 11:57Like I don't believe in cutting taxes anymore because we have
- 12:01such a high deficit. I think it's in our best
- 12:03interests to not cut taxes but cut spending.
- 12:07It's things like that. In theory, I still believe in
- 12:11having low taxes from the federal government, but in
- 12:13circumstance, I don't think that's like a good thing for us
- 12:16to do right now. So I think that my views have
- 12:19just gotten a little bit more complex.
- 12:21A lot of what changed though is just your views on partisan
- 12:24politics, which doesn't neatly map on to Conservative and
- 12:27Liberal in ideology anymore. Sure, you just soured on Trump
- 12:31and the mega. I would say that I'm like a I'm
- 12:33a pragmatic liberal that's open to finding realistic solutions
- 12:38that. I mean, I think as I think a lot
- 12:40of your views are still more or less right of center.
- 12:43Yeah. But also it depends.
- 12:45What does that even mean? Like you, you're a free speech
- 12:47supporter. Is that a right of center view?
- 12:50I mean a. Few years ago.
- 12:51I think it's both because liberals believe in free speech.
- 12:54Leftist on. Theoretically they do, but in
- 12:57recent history they don't. But then also you could say that
- 12:59with the background just. Say it's the same thing with
- 13:01Trump. So like.
- 13:02Yes, I so I was just. Complicated.
- 13:05So I don't know. I mean, what other things are?
- 13:07They're like economic policies. Feel like you're you are not
- 13:12like leftist on border and immigration no and also your
- 13:16takes on Islam. My takes, yeah, like the
- 13:18cultural issues I'm still right wing on, I would say, because I
- 13:22don't believe in like being so empathetic that you become.
- 13:24Naive. You're like your individual
- 13:27responsibility instead of entitlement and victimhood is
- 13:31central to your perspective on the world.
- 13:33And that is whether we like it or not.
- 13:35Like a right wing coded perspective.
- 13:37Sure, but I don't let that cloud me from seeing actual data.
- 13:41So like, just because I believe you should be providing for
- 13:44yourself and making a living doesn't mean that I don't
- 13:46believe in having food stamps given to people.
- 13:49Sure, but you apply it to individual scenarios like like
- 13:52thin hair and. Yeah, like I I can make in my
- 13:55opinion on someone is like you're kind of a piece of, but
- 13:58that doesn't necessarily mean that that translates to
- 14:00government policy if like they're a victim acting person.
- 14:05I don't know. Yeah, I get what you're saying.
- 14:06Yeah. Anyways, so I guess I didn't
- 14:09ask. Hi, guys.
- 14:11That's OK. Whatever.
- 14:12Guys, hope you guys are doing great today.
- 14:16All that I really wanted to say is that I thought Clarkson
- 14:20looked great with those titties. And you know Christy Gnome's
- 14:26husband is not the first man to wear giant tits.
- 14:30And whoever the other YouTube that wore giant tits, Tim
- 14:35Delanic, his stream, was not the second to do it.
- 14:39So why can't Clarkson wear tits? We want to see Clarkson's tits
- 14:44stop. Encouraging him.
- 14:47Amen. Amen.
- 14:48You're at. You know what?
- 14:49We want to see Clarkson's tits. Amen, you guys.
- 14:53He's already so narcissistic y'all are just guessing.
- 14:55So I just want to say like I want to thank you for sending
- 14:58this message and I appreciate it so much.
- 15:02I don't know if you have an extra few bucks around, but if
- 15:05you really want to see my tits, you can find me on only fans.
- 15:10But if you don't, I occasionally post my tits on my Instagram.
- 15:14I do it for and my Twitter. So if you want to see them
- 15:17there, then actually if they buy me fake tits, I'll wear them.
- 15:21It's just they're $100. That's the only reason.
- 15:23That's the only reason I didn't do it.
- 15:25It wasn't worth it because we only make what like how much
- 15:28from a video? I don't know like a well
- 15:30performing video will be like $200 you.
- 15:32Probably would have performed better if I wore tits too.
- 15:34We. Could put that in the thumbnail,
- 15:35yeah. That'd be fun.
- 15:36Maybe I'll do it again. All right, Hi.
- 15:38Brandon Clarkson. I'm looking for some dating
- 15:41advice though. I'm a 24 year old living in
- 15:44Hawaii and I was on a trip to Vegas a few months ago and met
- 15:49this really nice guy. We hung out the whole week.
- 15:52I even extended my stay to stay with him a little bit longer.
- 15:55That's what you would do of. Course, I've been back.
- 15:59We've been texting and calling every day and I'm just wondering
- 16:03like. Is it worth?
- 16:04It to try to do long distance. He is trying to start his career
- 16:08as a performer and that's probably going to be in Vegas.
- 16:11And I'm a PhD student out here in Hawaii, though I'm not
- 16:15leaving here anytime soon. But I've tried dating out here
- 16:18and it's just like literally horrible.
- 16:20Like every guy is just an ass and it's a small island.
- 16:25So like everyone's been with each other and it's just not a
- 16:28good vibe. So I'm kind of done with the
- 16:30dating scene here, so and I really like this guy and.
- 16:34Like. I do long distance.
- 16:37It's the tough question. I don't know if you guys can
- 16:41help me with it, but appreciate everything you guys do Thanks.
- 16:44I'm a yes. I think the most meaningful
- 16:47thing for human beings in life is relationships.
- 16:50So if you find someone that is worthy of pursuing you make that
- 16:55work. Designers make it work.
- 16:56And you prioritize it. And you might have to go to a
- 16:59different school. Or or or if you graduate, you
- 17:01maybe look for a job in Vegas one day.
- 17:04Wherever it might. Be long distance for a couple
- 17:07years. It is, especially for gay people
- 17:09or where obviously there's a smaller pool.
- 17:11But really for anyone it is so hard to find someone who you're
- 17:14compatible with and that is such a key aspect of life and so
- 17:18important. I really think it should be
- 17:20priority almost any over anything else.
- 17:23Obviously distance is not easy, but I also.
- 17:26It's not at all. See, I was actually in a
- 17:29situation like this about a month ago.
- 17:31There's this really, really like great guy who lives in LA, but
- 17:37like he's not moving anytime soon.
- 17:39I'm not moving anytime soon. And I actually I'm getting, I'm
- 17:42kind of contradicting myself here because that stopped me
- 17:45from pursuing it, but. You're very high need.
- 17:50Yeah. And also, yeah.
- 17:52So that's, I don't know. I mean, I get why you wouldn't
- 17:55want if like the cards are just not aligning.
- 17:58But The thing is is I don't even know if I actually am in the
- 18:01place for a relationship and I wouldn't want to sour the the
- 18:05opportunity with a really good guy by doing it long distance.
- 18:08And you know, I don't know. So I mean, it really just
- 18:11depends on the circumstance, but I think that in the grand scheme
- 18:15of life, like you don't want him to be the one that got away.
- 18:18Katy Perry, you should listen to that song.
- 18:21If it doesn't work out, it'll be it'll make you feel good.
- 18:23Well, it'll make you sad. Wouldn't that make him feel
- 18:25worse? Yeah.
- 18:26But sometimes it's good to purge so.
- 18:29OK, up next. Hi Clarkson, I'm Brad.
- 18:34My name is Habiba and I'm a proud mommy.
- 18:37I am an artist. I.
- 18:40Illustrate and do graphic design, and I animate and do
- 18:44music. And the advice I want from you
- 18:47is kind of how to get into the creative field that you're in.
- 18:52I mean, you guys produce your own content and you seem really
- 18:55successful. Is that what we're calling it?
- 18:57What you produce content. Why are you He just paused this
- 19:02to come from my neck. Like bitch it's giving jealous.
- 19:08He's like escaped the rat race really.
- 19:11I'm feel like I'm just kind of stuck living this nine to five
- 19:16basic life and it's not really meant for me.
- 19:19And I want to do more and I want to inspire people like you do.
- 19:22And it's really hard starting out.
- 19:25I don't think we inspire people. At the very beginning of it, you
- 19:29don't really have many people to turn to or many connections.
- 19:32And I just want to know how do I get to the point where you're at
- 19:37or what advice you have for me to kind of break out into
- 19:41content creation? Thank you so much.
- 19:44I love you guys. You're amazing.
- 19:46Keep doing what you're doing. Bye.
- 19:48So you want to be famous like me, is what you're saying?
- 19:51Y'all, you need to be careful with your.
- 19:53I hope that you're sending in that you're not guessing about.
- 19:56Yes, his head is already big enough.
- 19:58Anything in life that you start out, I already gave this advice
- 20:01to them. You're going to start out as a
- 20:03failure everything or as a beginner or you're going to look
- 20:05like you're not doing it right. You just have to RIP the
- 20:07Band-Aid off and be consistent and do it.
- 20:09Oh my first two YouTube videos were so bad.
- 20:11Yeah. But also I will say, like you
- 20:15have to have a realistic perspective of yourself to
- 20:18understand how you're being perceived.
- 20:19A lot of people make content, but the content is just really
- 20:23bad. It kind of goes to like the star
- 20:27power thing where like some people just have it and some
- 20:29people don't. I don't think that's true.
- 20:30I think it can be learned. It's a skill that can be
- 20:32learned, but it comes naturally to others.
- 20:35So if your content, like when you're making it, you need to be
- 20:38very conscious of how you're being perceived because like it
- 20:42or not, like the content might just not be good.
- 20:46You know what I mean? Like if you're making content
- 20:48for years on end and it's not getting any traction, like stop,
- 20:52it's it's not good revisit. I'm not saying stop, like if
- 20:54it's your dream go after it, but like you're probably the problem
- 20:58and a lot of creators think they're just creative people.
- 21:00I'm shadow band. They think they're shadow band
- 21:03or. They just think that their
- 21:04creativity deserves to be applauded in mass.
- 21:09But The thing is, it's like creativity that is that is taken
- 21:12in by the masses is not the best creativity.
- 21:15It's the most palatable. And there's a very big
- 21:18difference between a creative artist who is a great artist but
- 21:21people may not fall into, may not like it, versus an artist
- 21:25who can make art that appeals to everybody at TJ Maxx.
- 21:27So it's like you get very confused and being in mass
- 21:30appeal and garnering followers versus actually following your
- 21:33creativity. And you have to find a balance
- 21:35between those two things. The other thing I would say is
- 21:39try to think about what you could offer that's different or
- 21:41unique in some way. Try to find some niche that you
- 21:45could maybe be involved with. Right.
- 21:47Yeah, you. Need a niche at first you do.
- 21:49And then you can branch out from a niche, obviously, but and then
- 21:55I would say pick one platform. Like say, you know what, I'm
- 21:58going to start just making Tik toks about Love Island or
- 22:01whatever it is. Don't quit your day job.
- 22:03Come up with. Your day job.
- 22:05Schedule that you could do and then what I always tell people
- 22:08to do is to commit ahead of time to a certain period of time.
- 22:13Like I'm going to like on YouTube, I'm going to post twice
- 22:16a week for six months and then re evaluate because what what
- 22:19people and see if it's working. See if it's not, then change.
- 22:23Because what a lot of people do is say I want to try it, then
- 22:25they just do one or two videos. It doesn't do well and they give
- 22:28up and they don't know that if they had kept going, it would
- 22:31have eventually succeeded. Or the flip side is they just
- 22:34keep doing it and waiting for it to work and waiting and waiting
- 22:36and waiting endlessly and it doesn't and they're investing
- 22:38time into the wrong Ave. in their life to be successful.
- 22:42So I think you should set a defined period with reasonable
- 22:46goals that you that aren't going to be huge, but aren't going to
- 22:48be like tiny, tiny in terms of the content you're and then
- 22:53start doing it on the side. And then if it's going to
- 22:57succeed eventually, you can pivot.
- 22:59But don't don't like quit your day job and.
- 23:02Think about the viewer. This isn't about your
- 23:03creativity. This is that about their
- 23:05experience. Yeah.
- 23:05Think about something you can offer that other people want,
- 23:09rather than what you want to do. Which are.
- 23:12Those are not the same. Thing they can be aligned, but
- 23:15they're also very rarely they're not yeah, like I don't want to
- 23:19talk about politics and I battle with it every day but that's
- 23:22what people calling me for yeah. So.
- 23:25All right, next note. Hey guys, love you both.
- 23:30Really hope I get picked. I'm a pick me I'll.
- 23:34Own it, she. Checked the words out of my
- 23:35mouth so. I in all of my relationships,
- 23:39I'll be honest, it has started with me kind of initiating or at
- 23:44least just being super upfront. Like like I've like given my
- 23:49number, I'll say like, you know, I'm into you or like whatever it
- 23:52is. But.
- 23:54I kind I'm 35 and single still and I'm kind of wondering if
- 24:01that's maybe not the best approach considering I'm single
- 24:06and have been for a while. So I'd love to know how you guys
- 24:10feel about like, making the first move.
- 24:13Who should do it? Gender roles come into play.
- 24:16I'm. Going to either of you like to
- 24:18be the one to pursue? Or.
- 24:20Be pursued, girl. Yeah.
- 24:22Curious about that. Dynamic.
- 24:24Girl, thank. You love you.
- 24:26I gotta I love you too, but let me just tell you the problem is
- 24:29right here and you are looking like this because it.
- 24:34The problem is not whether or not you allow men to approach
- 24:37you. The problem is probably you.
- 24:39Explain. Like if you're if you're having
- 24:42a lot of trouble finding a relationship and it's just not
- 24:45working out with all of these different types of men.
- 24:47You're probably initiating with the wrong men.
- 24:50No, it's not even initiating. It's like these men probably
- 24:53meet you and then there's something that you're doing that
- 24:56is off that you haven't self reflected on.
- 24:59But instead you want to go to the effort of least resistance
- 25:02and say, well, maybe I shouldn't actually put any effort and I
- 25:04shouldn't approach. No, because The thing is, is a
- 25:07lot of women approach men and it works.
- 25:10Yeah, because men. Men like to be approached,
- 25:12especially nowadays. Especially now in the climate.
- 25:15Well, is this a lesbian? Did she say men?
- 25:18I I assume men because she asked about gender roles.
- 25:21I assume that she's dating men. Yeah.
- 25:25So let's just operate on that basis.
- 25:27If not, then for now what we said.
- 25:28But we don't. We couldn't give you any advice
- 25:30on lesbian stuff either, so. Absolutely not.
- 25:33And we don't want to know about it.
- 25:34We don't want to hear about it. We don't want to think about it.
- 25:36Keep it nasty. I mean, yeah, but my mind likes
- 25:40to. My mind likes to explore.
- 25:42Just joking please. I like to think about things.
- 25:44Slipped out of context, so. Bad on this?
- 25:46You could. So I think it's not I, I, I
- 25:53don't think the problem is that you're putting yourself out
- 25:55there first. I think especially many
- 25:57heterosexual men now, I've like made it feel like they can't
- 25:59just hit on women, right? And so if you at least at least
- 26:03open the door to it and they're all so dumb.
- 26:05So like, if you just sometimes want to be like, I feel like I
- 26:08made it so clear that I was interested in him and he didn't
- 26:10get it and he has no idea. So I think there's nothing wrong
- 26:15with initiating a little bit and then let him take it.
- 26:18Can I, can I just cut this off? Because you know what?
- 26:20I got to see what you look like. I'm sorry.
- 26:23Because here's the thing. A beautiful woman approaching a
- 26:26man or somebody or a woman that's like drop, drop dead
- 26:29approaching a man, that wouldn't be a problem.
- 26:31So if you are an 8, let's say you're an 8 or you're a seven,
- 26:38OK, and you're approaching nothing wrong.
- 26:41Most of us are sevens and you're approaching men.
- 26:45There's something else that's odd.
- 26:46What? You're not A7.
- 26:49I I think I am. You're a six.
- 26:53But no, The thing is, is like, it's not just about like whether
- 26:57or not you might be very beautiful, but you also could be
- 27:00going for men that are not that are getting women that are
- 27:03prettier than you. True.
- 27:05I'm sorry, I just got to be truthful.
- 27:06You could be going after men that are way prettier than you,
- 27:08but it's just not realistic. And it's not, it's not
- 27:10realistic. It's not just about looks, it's
- 27:12about your expectations and they might not be balanced like.
- 27:16What's your height filter at? Right.
- 27:19So like when I have a few friends that are like similar to
- 27:22your age and they're single and I've had to have this
- 27:23conversation with them because they're really into these like
- 27:27top tier men who have women that can literally they're like gay
- 27:30men. They can get women delivered to
- 27:32their door and it's like it might.
- 27:34Be time to settle for the nice guy.
- 27:36Correct. So you have to.
- 27:37Well, you have two options. There's always a way out.
- 27:40OK, Ugly is not permanent living proof.
- 27:45You can get plastic surgery and try to go after those men.
- 27:48That's what I did. I I always had very high
- 27:51standards, but I couldn't get the men so I got really buff.
- 27:54And yeah, but anyways, So what I'm saying is that you need to
- 27:58be honest about your standards. Not standards like don't let a
- 28:02man cheat on you. That's different.
- 28:04And make sure you're going for men that are in your looks
- 28:08bracket, per SE, yeah. OK, Clavicular.
- 28:11Is that a thing? Oh, I was thinking of tax
- 28:13bracket, but with looks. But because I've seen that be a
- 28:16problem with a lot of people. And it's not just women, it's
- 28:19it's men too. Like a lot of men are single
- 28:21because they think they can get these, like, hot ass women.
- 28:23And it's like, you can't. Yeah.
- 28:25So everything is competition and unfortunately that's the reality
- 28:29of the dating market. So if you want to succeed, like
- 28:33any business or any any competitive environment, you
- 28:36have to be brutally honest with yourself in order to get better
- 28:40or you have to lower your standards a bit.
- 28:43Yeah, I was going to say, I don't think you initiating
- 28:46things is the problem. And I also don't think I'll just
- 28:50stop initiating and wait for someone to come to me.
- 28:53Is a viable strategy at 35 years old and.
- 28:55I hate that I had I don't like talking about woman's looks like
- 28:58that unless they're like body positive activists.
- 29:00But it's fine. And it's fine because like she
- 29:03sounds so sweet and that's probably going to hurt her
- 29:05feelings, but it's the true she might, she probably is very
- 29:08pretty, but that there's always somebody better looking.
- 29:11And if your standards are up here and even if you're a nine
- 29:14and you're going after 10s, there could be an imbalance
- 29:16that's causing the problem. So you just look at yourself and
- 29:18figure out if your standards are aligned.
- 29:20And give a nice mid man a chance.
- 29:23That's my other take. Yeah, I think that's well, no, I
- 29:28do. I don't agree with that because
- 29:29the mid men still cheat on you and then you got cheated on by
- 29:31now Go. No, why were they're not any
- 29:35more or less likely to cheat on you?
- 29:36A mid guy? Why?
- 29:38Well, if you lower your standards so much that it's
- 29:40unequal. Just said lower your standard.
- 29:42Yeah, lower, so it's equal, not low.
- 29:44Don't do the opposite, it can. Be a little bit lower.
- 29:46Maybe a little, but. Find a nice guy with the.
- 29:50I'm all about balance. Good.
- 29:52And it doesn't matter if he's not the the best looker.
- 29:54We just gave some terrible advice.
- 29:56Yeah. Who the?
- 29:57Are we to give advice? This is probably we are better
- 29:59than that Jake guy though. Last one last voice.
- 30:02No. OK, If you guys want to send one
- 30:04in, go ahead and do it. We'll probably do this again so
- 30:06the link will be in the description.
- 30:07Hi guys, I adore the both of you so much.
- 30:10I look forward to your videos every single week.
- 30:15I guess I kind of just wanted to ask how to find my political
- 30:19ideologies or just opinions outside of biased opinions.
- 30:23I think it's really hard because there's pressure on both sides
- 30:26to decide right now in this very given moment.
- 30:29I would argue that I'm centered like right leaning.
- 30:35My fiance is pretty far right so we differ a lot in ideologies.
- 30:43The right is like just very mag right now which I totally
- 30:46disagree with. The left is like just insane and
- 30:51holding like strict to like gender ideologies and trans
- 30:54ideologies and I guess it's just like hard for me to find a
- 30:58position that I'm really comfortable with and I just
- 31:00don't want to be like easily influenced by either group.
- 31:04So any advice is appreciated once again, I love you both so
- 31:09much. Thank you SO.
- 31:11I have some questions about the far right boyfriend.
- 31:14He's definitely watch his neck Fuentes.
- 31:16If he does, then you need to you.
- 31:18Need to run if you're. Just if what you mean by that is
- 31:20he's just like a Trump supporter, Republican, has right
- 31:22wing beliefs, then he might be a great guy.
- 31:24Yeah. And he might be a great
- 31:25boyfriend and potentially husband.
- 31:27If he's a griper. You need to.
- 31:29You need to get the hell out. You need to pack your bags, you
- 31:32need to leave unannounced and. Become a lesbian.
- 31:35Of the night because that man is scary, Yeah.
- 31:39And dangerous like these. Or he's chronically online and
- 31:44is a low value man who gets his opinions from a 20 what, 4 year
- 31:49old little virgin boy? Like no.
- 31:52Repress about bottom. Yeah, well, no.
- 31:55But let's assume that's not the case and that you.
- 31:58Just ending marriages let's. Assume he's just like a normal
- 32:03right wing guy and that's fine to her actual question, I would
- 32:07say one unless you are going to be some sort of political career
- 32:12person, you actually don't need to figure out a political
- 32:17ideology that you would hear strictly to.
- 32:19It's OK to not actually as a normal 25 year old whatever
- 32:23once. Because social media makes it
- 32:25seem like you have to pick a side.
- 32:26You really don't if you're not involved in this and may you
- 32:30have technically have to pick someone to vote for every
- 32:31election. You don't have to pick a label
- 32:34and perfectly to it ideologically.
- 32:36And so I would say consume both, then make up your mind on any
- 32:40given issue what you think or don't and just keep an open
- 32:44mind. You there's no pressure really
- 32:46to because there's no test. But if you're worried about
- 32:49being manipulated in general, I think, and this isn't just with
- 32:52politics, you have to be very self reflective and understand
- 32:56where your biases come from and what they lean you towards.
- 32:59Like when I was very conservative, it's because I
- 33:02have like a strong, strong version to disorder and you
- 33:08know, like, and I'm very, very like prone to individuality,
- 33:13like those types of narratives that are associated with, with
- 33:16anything. But those biases dictated my
- 33:19political beliefs, which is why I got manipulated a lot on a lot
- 33:22of issues because I automatically took the side that
- 33:24my biases lean me towards because I didn't do as much due
- 33:27diligence when researching my opinions on it.
- 33:30So I think if you're very conscious of yourself, it'll be
- 33:33a long experience, but you'll be able to see your own behavior
- 33:38and how your biases influence it.
- 33:39And then you'll be able to see when you're being manipulated or
- 33:42potentially misled, not just in politics, but in anything.
- 33:44Hope that helps. All right, guys, thank you all
- 33:46so much for sending in your voicemails.
- 33:47If anybody is interested in check to check in the link in
- 33:50the description and that'll be it for this episode of Normal
- 33:53Gaze. We'll be back with more real
- 33:54soon.
