I keep the same intellectual standard for women so we could chill if we lived near each other. I think men are as stupid as the women though. At least here in America. There are too many idiots here. My gf isn't dumb and I did not date her for pussy. I started talking about subjects with her and our relationship formed out of that. Her last bf treated her as if she was dumb, but he is actually the idiot, lol.
aaron, you talk a bit as if women should be respected just for being women. i get that idea from watching your video anyway. thats one of the bullshit double standards in our society, and because we're indoctrinated into this kind of idea, most women dont have to do anything to get respect, and thus they become assholes, undeserving of respect.
the problem is there is this lingering consciousness about women being inferior in some way even among women. in fairness, though, there's got to be some pressure felt on the part of women even if they attempt transcend this consciousness as to how to embrace themselves as women because they're constantly under a microscope.
the key is to not see oneself as a woman or a man or a jew or an african-american and simply see onself as an individual.
Yeah I felt the same way. Most of my guy friends back then were obsessed with getting laid and it got to the point where that was their main goal in life so I just stopped talking to them.
Very good video. White knighting has got to be one of the most disastrous aspects of social interactions in our entire society because of the ramifications you hinted at throughout every strata of that society; from child rearing to economics to political ideology. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Really insightful. Personally I do have high standards, and I try to live my values. I see others around me who profess the same values but their choices in life seem not to reflect these. I always thought it was some sort of psychological dysfunction which prevents the alignment of concept and action -- like in their minds there is a divide between what is and what *is*.
I don't think it's un-libertarian to have your kids go to public school, especially if you discuss what they learn in school and stuff from time to time. Of course, it's preferable to have them home-schooled or going to a private school...but i don't really think it's distinctly un-libertarian to have them go to a public school.
I however don't think its lowering one's standards to be romantically involved with someone with differing politics. Are your morals similar? Thats far more important. For example I could never date a racist, but I could date someone who had differing economic beliefs. Although they would have to be supportive of my activism.
I don't disagree with the sentiment you're expressing here, I've definitely experienced a shift in behavior from men when women are around, I think this leads to propping up a culture of misogyny. I fear however that this video will receive the usual comments about how women are shallow, stupid and how rare women who are worth certain men's time are.
best video you made imo...i mean when i go on a first date or w/e i treat the girl like any other person i would hang out with, because im not one to act different with one person, guy or girl then another....i mean these girls these days almost accept you to treat them like their goddesses or something....i hate it
My friends always wonder why I can never stay in a long relationship with a girl. It simply is because I have high standards... they call me shallow but it has little to do with looks (though that might play a part) Basically the girl has to already want to radically unschool, or she has to be open to the idea so I can teach her about it. Neither has ever happened. Thus I never stay in the relationship any longer.
haha. well, most of the things you said people do in the video are true as usual and also retarded as you described it. so fuck you buddy! maybe you miss understood me or I didn't get the hint of sarcasm in your reply ;)
I'd say you're taking a bigger risk sending your kid to a public school. That wasn't his point though, his point was that people will lower their standards for females.
Both I, and my children can undo the damage done by public schools, however, a circumcision can never be undone. Additionally, a circumcision requires almost no effort to avoid, where avoiding public schooling either requires a great deal of time or money
You are correct... though to be a devil's advocate there are surgeries to replace the lost foreskin. LoL no on a serious note you are correct. I just suggest listening to your kids more, not the teachers who will likely want to drug them up on ADD/ADHD medicine for being kids lol.
I see this everywhere (and not just in social gatherings but places like work) and it drives me nuts too. What I don't understand is why these guys don't hold women to their standards, yet turn around and treat them better than men. I'm sure it's conditioning and insecurity like you said but it still makes me want to pull my hair out some times in confusion and frustration.
however, as a self aware person, how do you suggest one overcomes strong insecurities... especially when they make it difficult to seek help in the first place...
Where are these respectable women for which you speak? Women are less rational than men. Sure, most people (men AND women) are irrational, but women much more so.
I can respect women for other qualities, but without the ability and the application of reason, I can not consider any of them equals.
Even Ayn Rand thought a state was necessary. he personal life was a mess. Give me an example, please. Dil, maybe?
Women, just like men, need to be held to standards in order for them to form well developed views. Since almost half the population automatically won't do this for women, I'm not surprised there are relatively few libertarian women.
I'v seen a few woman desire a man in the way 'I do not want to be member of a club that accepts me as a member'. They continually look for men that treat them like shit. That could be caused by the idea that if they really have to give it all they got, they feel like they have the best they can possibly get, or it could be they have low self esteem and look for treatment that confirms that, so they can utilize worn in coping mechanisms
Girls play the double standard game all the time. The funny thing is once the girl gives back approve to the guy, the whole game switches around. Girls are way more superficial than guys if anything.

Mean either, they are more like a "convenience" disorder. Only if the kid wants to be free, they drug them into compliance.

Both are terrible, but a one time operation when you're a newborn will leave a lot less trauma than 12 years at the education camps.
