Should Men And Women Hold Each Other To Higher Standards?

Transcript

Every man wants a good girl who's only bad for him, and every woman wants a bad boy who's only good for her. So the combination of a suit and sleeves of tattoos, it's not shocking that women would find that attractive. It's Clark Kent Superman rolled into the one thing. So I don't know why we're not saying to young men, this is what we should be focusing on, is the mission, becoming the best version of yourself, cleaning yourself up, putting yourself better, and saying to women, women, listen. You've always been the gate keepers of sex. You always have been. So you have to start taking that role seriously, and you have to start holding men to some kind of a standard. I'm sure that I'll get pilloried by people in the red pill space in the manosphere who are going to say, oh, well, men have to accommodate themselves to women. Yes. That's how it works when it comes to sexual gatekeeping. That's how it works. Unless you wanna be the kind of person that, you know, sneaks in the backdoor and steals things and puts on a false face of what it is that you really want and you wanna be disingenuous. You can make a lot of money stealing. Should you be proud of that? I don't think so.
