    As a Nigerian-immigrant in North America, I have come to one conclusion: Social Justice, wokeness and progressivism can ONLY exist in a developed, liberal and first-world nation/region where there are very few existential threats and where the purposeless masses in urban areas have to create some form of ideology to fill the void in their lives. That is why it makes no sense and destroys that society. That is also why non-western countries and immigrants mostly tend to hate social justice and wokeness more than the native citizens.

      So true as the Dems are discovering importing illegal Latinos who basically are conservative believing in family values, traditional cultural values, religious values and who almost all want their own businesses. Which is why they are now importing Haitiians but they may have trouble converting them to socialist Democrats as well.

      Couldn't Agree more. I'm venezuelan and furtunately I've lived around since I'm 12. USA, The Carribean (Venezuela and West Indies), Argentina, Germany and now Spain. And goes the same way. But lately with all the socialist ideas that the South American countries are keen to they've starting to become more of a "WOKEN" culture. And its kind of a non coherent and counter productive set of ideas to embrace in a socio-economic evironment such as an third world south american country. More so than in a firstworld one.

    As someone who was extremely successful with women all of my life(mainly before tinder); you end up empty in ways that I could have never believed. I was a touring musician and studio musician most of my life, and women/drugs/alcohol were part of daily life. It tore me up from the inside out, and I am now a traditional Christian, who looks forward to raising a family on a farm in Missouri. I found meaning in life as a carpenter/owner of my own company, theology nerd, and dedication to one woman. Fulfillment was never found in the bedroom, bottle, or drug use in my experience.

      I personally don't see what's so wrong with hook up culture as long as no one is being deceptive or manipulating/guilting someone into an unwanted relationship when that was never the deal.
      But well, moderation? 😂 I don't think it's the promiscuity itself that hurts. And I grew up religious so this is pretty wild claim coming from me. Maybe I just don't like how assuming and harsh people can be of loveless lust. Maybe I just hate the cynicism.

    The last relationship I had, after we broke up I found out that she was involved with multiple different guys at the same time even when we were in a relationship, this made me wonder if she ever really loved me. Then I turned to promiscuity because I thought it'll feel better. But there's always this feeling of emptiness that's always around the corner, and I feel like I'm constantly running away from a blackhole that's trying to devour me by jumping from woman to woman. But I feel like I entered a never-ending rat race of immediate pleasures with little to none responsibility. Now I'm changing my ways because I realised that I was doing more harm than good

      @@oneperson5760 That alone wouldn't help, trying to fight the impulse of just casually having hookups with women is difficult too, because it's easier to find a person who wants hookups than to find a person who wants to start a meaningful relationship which does not include any physical intimacy in the beginning. Trying to see if we can like and enjoy each other's company even if sex isn't involved yet. There are many countries where people don't have sex until they know each other very well for many weeks or months. Then they would have sex after they're in a relationship with each other and sex would be a part of the relationship, not the main selling point. While in most tinder interactions, sex is the selling point. Tinder makes their users sell their bodies to each other for impulsive pleasures and they don't even realise that they're devaluing themselves

I frequently found myself needing a break and returning once I regained the patience and strength to deal with the overwhelming amount of socialization, manipulation, toxicity, and the promiscuity seekers and servers on these apps.

    This really speaks to me. I met a girl on tinder and it was just a nightmare, bad all round. The app encourages promiscuity and predatory tactics with its very design resigning people to their looks and brief bios. Its perfect for psychopaths because if you got to know them naturally, say through a friend, you'd catch glimpse of the mask slipping , things would rise to the surface. On tinder you go in blind, whatever they tell you is what they are as they're literally strangers to you. That gives psychopaths free reign to create whatever lies, delusions and deceptions and take what they want from you
    I fell for this trap and without a strong family and friendship group id still be in that abusive relationship. Dating apps don't provide anything but sex with psychos.

      Not always I would say, I do know friends that are verry genuine and monogamous and ended up in long term serious relationships but its a small percentage. Most people are ofcourse pretty toxic in comparison to the more genuine. Its easy to be more toxic due to the nature of dating apps. I think its possible but you really need to know what you are looking for and able to end it when you notice any flags you consider red.
      Besides that I personally do not like dating apps because I believe most people simply do not align with my believes, It's probally perfect to have fun but it comes with a price. I do not prefer girls that have slept around in general so dating apps mostly come of as a red flag to me. I believe most people that have serious things going on in their life do not prioritize dating apps for sex at least.

      Amendment: I don't know about having to stay alone. But, hook-up apps? ... I mean, gimme a break. Those are created by busineness people whose profits rely on Non-Monogomy. That being the case, they are deliberately designed and marketed ... even if "discreetly" ... to move people away from monogamy. The logic is pretty simple. Their business model is all about Quantity, not Quality. They do not want people pair-bonding. That does not make money for them.

    Used dating apps when I moved to CA over 10 years ago for one year. Never met more liars in my life. A dating profile is like anything else on social media where folks embellish and lie to present a life better than what they have. When I'd question women about this, their answers ranged from, "everyone does it" and "that's what you're supposed to do." Nothing beats getting to know folks through hobbies or friends.

      What most simps, feminist fe/males, white-knights, betas and conservative guys fail to realize: bad boys provide excitement, novelty, unpredictability and fun (fear, roller-coaster drama) to a new level. In other words, stability and commitment (no longer) won't cut it for today's 🦄. Why is that? Before she was your girlfriend, wife or lover, she already had been "run through" so many guys. And each time she slept with someone (both wo/men), she lost a part of her psyche, well-being or mind/soul/spirit. In other words, she is no longer able to have emotional attachment in a healthy or committed way.

      Feminist's Ideology from Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook:
      '''My advice to women is date all of them: the bad boys, the cool boys, the commitment-phobic boys, the crazy boys. But do not marry them. The things that make the bad boys sexy do not make them good husbands. When it comes time to settle down, find someone who wants an equal partner. Someone who thinks women should be smart, opinionated and ambitious. Someone who values fairness and expects or, even better, wants to do his share in the home. These men exist and, trust me, over time, nothing is sexier.'''

      Ghosting is sad especially for the one doing it.
      I was ghosted before there was a common term for it and wondered what I had done to cause it. Years later I realized this person has a habit of running from conflict and responsibility, has a rather broken life as a result. Those who choose to ghost are impulsive and lack the boldness needed in saying, "Hey, this is over."

For example, day and night is a regulatory tool that people use to know when they should be awake and when they should sleep. With all the technology we now have, lights and smartphones could keep us up all night and we basically have no need to value the gifts of nature, which is actually making us all less happy in the long-run. At least to me it seems like people are not as happy as they were.

    Great conversation. I remember listening to one young women who had lived the Sex in the City lifestyle for a while. She found that trading intimacy for the false promise of security was counter productive. Because men are attracted to the feminine, they would enjoy the physical intimacy, but fail to make a commitment. She found that each time she needed to protect her emotions a little more, and began to lose the very femininity that made her attractive to the opposite sex. It became a case of diminishing returns for her. It took some time to reverse that damage.

      Why is it that you cant accept that and absolutely refuse to see that as a possibility? You may be projecting your own needs onto my situation, or are frustrated/worried that there are many women who are completely happy without being in a relationship?

    Dr. Peterson, I found your description of Tinder so profound. I couldn't agree more with your insight about Tinder producing hyper successful predatory males and reducing rejection. While it doesn't surprise me that only 4% of women swipe right compared to 60% of men, it drives this viewpoint home. Great episode, Dr. Peterson and Rob Henderson!

      ''The women I know in their early 30s are just delusional,'' he says. ''I sometimes seduce them and sleep with them just because I know how to play them so well. It's just too easy. They're tired of the cock carousel and they see a guy like me as the perfect beta to settle down with before their eggs dry out … when I get tired of them I just delete their numbers from my cell phone and stop taking their calls … It doesn't really hurt them that much: at this point they're used to pump & dump!''

      Today, your relationship experts are generally these internet gurus who will tell you what you want to hear for both the sexes or your friends who aren't doing any good either. It's become a war between the sexes rather than the Harmony that needs to be there.

      I don't think the equilibrium is set at harmony.
      How can you have harmony when female selection is like capitalism on coke?
      Female preferences and selection has a naturally higher gini coefficient than the most inequal society of this world.
      Listen to this Arundhati.
      Every female only wants the absolute best of males.
      In an economic understanding this would be like giving a very few people all the possesions of all wealth and they have to pay 0 taxes.
      While those that owns nothing has to pay a high tax rate.
      Religion has for a very long time been in conflict with this cynical behavior and that's why it introduced monogamy.
      Allowing everyone to pass on their genetics is the idea of monogamy. It's socialism.

    Eye opening and intriguing discussion and ideas!
    At 1:17:03 Another social effect that I'm seeing is that in addition to having children being seen as a choice and the woman having to take unequal responsibility for that is an extension to both parents. In American society now, I see the discussion rapidly shifting from a view of parenthood and having and raising children being a joyful, wonderful thing for society and our community which is worthy for us all to support, to now people instead jump in and say that was the parent's choice, nothing to do with themselves, and they don't want "their money" i.e. tax dollars to go towards supporting families, and keeping children fed, healthy, and out of poverty. This shift in view is a travesty for the well being of our society and communities.
    Note: I think this discussion would be better if Jordan did not cut off and speak over Rob so much. That made it harder to listen to and I thought Rob wasn't provided the space to fully flesh out his ideas and train of thoughts as much since Jordan was controlling the conversation direction more.

    I met my girlfriend on Hinge, but this was after countless dates with a type of woman that I didn’t even know existed (at least in large quantities). I’m not insinuating they were necessarily “bad,” but there are very few men who they would be compatible with. Dating apps have gotten increasingly worse (as far as monogamy.) There are significantly more men than women on dating apps, which means even undesirable women are flooded with attention and validation from newly desperate men. Obviously these men would never monogamously date these women, but they don’t know the difference in a real interest and a sexual interest. Many men will sleep with women they aren’t even remotely attracted to. This constant, perceived validation is going to change the behavior of anyone. If you condition someone with almost no options into thinking they have endless options, you’ve conditioned them to die alone. It’s nobody’s fault really. I hate it for them, because they don’t even come to this realization until their 40’s or 50’s. Where you live makes a huge difference in the type of person you encounter though.

      @vicbaker8367 Před 2 lety +51

      Exactly what you said, and even more. Somehow, the brain mechanism of a brain on porn undermines the “intimate” part of relationships. And the female desire to be wanted has turned many females into an easy sexual target rather than an equal in a relationship- who should have as much to say about how a relationship progresses as the male counterpart. Unfortunately, most women are trying to “accept “ the prescribed male “need” for sex rather than understanding that the sexual act in and of itself is not the intimacy that drives a human “couple” relationship. She forgoes her sexual need for intimacy so that he can fulfill his non-intimate sexual fantasies, which was trained through the blue screen. As 50%+ males over the age of 12, world wide, are currently addicted to the blue screen (pornography; called the new epidemic), the idea that couple intimacy can be resurrected through social change is highly unlikely. Addictions are difficult to control, and an addiction in a juvenile brain creates neural pathways that are nearly impossible to redirect. Many want to blame feminist “man bashing” for the reduction in marriage in today’s society, and there’s truth to that.... but simultaneously, porn addiction may be even more damaging to possible future, and present relationships, as it dehumanizes both individuals in a relationship.
