As a female with divorced parents I can confirm I am not on the stripper pole
Edit: wait I’m genuinely impressed by how many people truly believe that girls of divorced parents who aren’t in sex work are some kind of anomaly or outlier lol.
As a female with divorced parents I can confirm I was. 😅
I think it was so rude of her to imply all kids with divorced parents end up on the pole 😀
@@Imnotchay I think she was really trying to say kids with divorced parents are more likely to be emotionally bankrupt in one way or another regarding relationships. daddy/mommy issues are real, and divorce can significantly increase the chances of your kid growing up with them.
@@Imnotchay According to her logic, 50% of all children would end up becoming strippers 💀
@@FellThrew More likely maybe, but it's not a guarantee of anything the way the woman made it out to be. 50% of all marriages end in divorce and most children end up just fine.
"So you would break up a family because of getting cheated on" is the wildest form of victim blaming.
Like, no, the one who cheats is the one who breaks the vow they made to their spouse in order to get married in the first place. The one who cheats is the one who breaks up the family from the inside.
This is exactly how I felt when I heard that. Would she be saying the same thing about other forms of emotional abuse too?
I’m guessing she’s saying this because she is a cheater.
And an abuser.@@avalonstout1490
Exactly! I would rather leave a cheating partner and keep the co-parenting. The moment she said that breaking up the family would lead a child “to the pole” made since like… wouldn’t staying in the relationship also teach your children that cheating is okay wtf
Sounds to me like she’s a cheater who’s A) already needed to fabricate and use these excuses, or B) has prepared for the day when she WILL need to use them
I don’t think that the woman in the red sparkling dress has thought through her point about “breaking up the family over a one time indiscretion.” Perhaps she’s had her ex partners use this excuse on her in the past. In any event it comes across as victim blaming. I see it as a form of compartmentalization of infidelity used to give the cheater(s) a free pass. Nobody is perfect. She has some room for growth in my opinion.
Kian is EVERYTHING. Comfortable with vulnerability, respectful of his gf, great sense of humor, great energy!!!
Interesting...As a woman he is a complete turn off! Way too much feminine energy.
He has his heart ripped out 4 months ago to the point where he has to "rebuild from 0 and is incapable of self love" but he's already in a committed relationship? 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩
buddy is definitely gay💀💀
@@draincatYT no?
@@draincatYTwhat are you yapping about?
The guy who talked about being catfished is sooo expressive with his arms 😂😂 I’ve never seen someone not just talk with their hands but lift their whole arms like that 😂 nothing wrong with it I just loved seeing it haha
My ex told me I move my arms a lot when I speak, and I never realized how much I do until watching this episode 😂, glad you enjoyed it though 🙌🏾
@@facewednesday keep being yourself and don’t change it! It makes listening to you even more captivating haha
@@holisticmaya 🤎♥️
Ngl bro lowkey adorable for them gestures 😭
Go to Italy. An entire country where people cannot talk without moving their arms at all times.
i HATE the notion of just friends. friendships are so important to me and i think people overvalue sex so much
That is soooo based. Platonic relationships are often downplayed because there always has to be “something more”.
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
I hate that society treats not having sex as in you love the person less. Friendships can be JUST as strong without the condition of sex
Yesss it's so annoying!
OH MY GOSH SAME 😭
Fr people are so sex obsessed and can't seem to fathom liking people for who they are platonically. Friends are so important in dealing with life's stresses
The statement “we know that relationships get worse not better” is crazy
...But true. I think, what she meant by that is: When someone shows you who they are, belive 'em. Like, don't be out here dating a fantasy.
It was honestly sad to hear. I wonder who hurt her.
I think what she meant was the physical attraction one. Relationships that started out from sex, do not really end well. They get worse.
i think she meant that the more you get to know each other, the more conflicts are going to arise. at first you're in that honeymoon phase ignoring all the red flags but when it comes down to it, your partner has to communicate clearly and that takes a lot of work.
For me it was the opposite, first year...confusing af, fourth year, just look at each other and understand.
Maren is thoughtful and well-spoken. It made me want to listen to her way more than Janelle, for example, who was just firing strong opinions out there without even considering the standpoints of others.
💯
Agreed! I like that her answers were based on how she feels herself, too, and he wasn't trying to push or force her opinions onto the group.
She only made more disclaimers and was more of a relativist, but not surprising
From my perspective, Janelle did consider the standpoints of others, but decided to stick with her own beliefs, which is perfectly justified.
Maren and Asher were my favorites! Down to earth, realistic, and open to others opinions.
My mom leaving my disloyal father while having 5 kids was the best thing she could have ever done for our family and very hard for her but now everyone of her children respect her so much and we would do ANYTHING for her. She showed us what self worth really looks like ❤ Relationships are 2 people working on themselves and working hard together, you don’t have that… it all falls apart!
period!
So a bisexual person can't have friends? Just because you might feel like having a friend of the opposite gender doesn't work for you, that does not mean you can dismiss any other such friendship.
I'm bi and friendships with my own gender is still easier then with the opposite gender. It's probably evolution making us want to appease the opposite gender regardless of sexuality.
I'm bi but friendships with same sex is definitely easier for me. Evolution is probably the reason for wanting to appease the opposite sex regardless of sexuality.
@@HappyPlace-qq2itbut I’m bi and friendships with the opposite sex definitely come easier for me! I have many guy friends, but it’s harder to make guy friends than girl friends. Everyone’s experience is different.
@@HappyPlace-qq2it Be careful making evolutionary arguments to fit your personal anecdotes, they're usually dead wrong
I wouldn't date a bi
i miss the "slightly agree" and "slightly disagree" options. I feel it allows for more nuance and personalization/humanity for the discussions
I bet they did it so people were closer to the camera.
oh wow i didn't even realize they took the slightly agree & disagree away... wonder why they did it
Well, each one explains it in detail, so, no point in it
Yes please
Yes! If I was on there I’d likely use those a lot bc while I tend to lens more one way on these answers I often have at least some exceptions etc
"We are just people and people can be friends" Loved that Kian, totally agree
No we are not. That's like saying we are just mammals and mammals can love one another and therefore the tiger won't eat you. We are people, gender, sex, culture, etc, everything here plays in.
agree!
Well considering you are pansexual, it explains why you don't understand how this is actually true for the typical person. Someone's sex, at least for the typical heterosexual, is a key part of what they are and it changes a lot. Maybe you don't get it, but all of us heterosexuals know deep down something is very different with someone of the opposite sex.
Like you said, for me, it's different, so that's why I liked what he said! It might be harder for me to understand the other side bc I am pansexual, but I do get how some heterosexual people might not agree that you can be friends with the opposite sex. Which is a shame to me, but if someone can't, I'll understand and accept that 😊
@@sofienummers based response and I agree tbh. Other then colleagues at school I personally feel like I couldn't be friends with a girl, also because I'm very picky with friends. So if a girl meets the boxes to be my friend, it probably also means she has the personality for me to fall in love.
In school I can only really do it because I know I don't like them because they have habits that I don't respect or want in a partner, but even then Ican't help but think about what if...
The stank eyes that were given to Janelle crack me up 😭😭😭
people who think a boy and girl are dating just cause they’re friends is so childish
Sadly that's a lot of men's motive for being women's friends, so they'll project the way they view it onto others friendships.
exactly
yeah😒
They didn’t say that tho
@@yuhloicyou just said it
This shoulda been a middle ground episode
It wouldn't have worked tho, cuz both groups (assuming men and women) have conflicting views within each other
This isn't a controversial topic. Can't be in middle ground
@@NotVille_My local crackhead is more interesting than your videos.
What would the two sides be?
@@user-ku4jr6qj3omen vs women
"You'd break up a family because you got cheated on?" WTF that's victim blaming. The cheater ALREADY broke the family. Damage is done. Staying is the worst thing to do and it indirectly teaches your kids that it's OK to cheat and it's OK to stay in a BAD RELATIONSHIP. That leads to so much stress and depression and mental illnesses and bottling up emotions and basically nothing positive.
As a Christian myself, I’m really surprised the Christian said men and women can’t be just friends. Like, are you not friends with women from your church? Your pastor’s wife? The women in your small group? Your wife’s friends? I don’t get it at all.
But then I’m also mostly aromantic, so who knows
You don't allow yourself to get inappropriately close because you know you are fallible and shouldn't be tempting yourself, same as why you don't stare at their a$zes when they bend over or whatever.
I think it all comes down to what you consider “a friend”. To me, the people are church are not friends but more so family. You don’t date family. But again, just how I see it/how I was raised in the church.
If somebody says they are not able to be friends with the opposite sex they are basically saying the only value they see in half of the population is their fuckability. Pretty strange thing to be proud of as a christian.
As a christian aswell men and women can definitely be Friends
You definitely can be “friends” but it’s the “you can’t be alone in a room together”, especially for a longer period of time. I think that’s where that guy was coming from
The audacity of Janelle trying to shame stripping while dressed like that is mind blowing
Exactly!!! Wtf??
FR.
She wasn’t dressed as a stripper tho
@@Albert_YTC She was dressed like many a burlesque stripper. It's on brand for her once you look at her channel.
FR. Like who's gonna tell her? 😭
Janelle is so sex obsessed holy… she treats sex so casually and expects other people to have that same worldview inherently for some reason. Like to argue that a relationship can be maintained following a partner cheating on them because it’s just “giving in to the cardinal flesh” is wild. Cheating is more than just an act. For her argument to have any bearing in reality, then talking about problems in a relationship could not be a viable option before committing the act of cheating. There are more moral options that precede cheating.
I'm pretty sure she's a sex coach or something like that. She was on Middle Ground before. She's really.. strange. Used odd language that makes men seem like actual animals.
Yea and look at how she’s objectifying here self
I think at some point she was hurt and justified this behavior as something she could control. Cheating partner is something that destroys your self esteem, some build it up understanding that it's not their fault, some blame themselves. But it's okay to see different perspectives, opinions form from experience and surrounding opinions.
She was another video and I believe she is a human trafficking survivor so maybe that's why
I feel so sorry for her. It must be so lonely living life like that
Does anyone else find it weird that people tend to use the end of things to describe something? If you are are friends with somebody for 20 years and then fall in love, to me that is no proof that friendship between men and women is impossible. It is proof that it is possible, it worked for 20 years. It is proof as well that life is not static and we all constantly change.
Another angle, how many friends stay friends for 20 years? So by the same logic these were never friendships as it didn't last a lifetime?
20 years, that's just running out of options lol
Or it's that "friend" who remained in the friendzone patiently waiting, and that's actually often the case with many so called guy friends....They are just there to wait for an opportunity and woman tend to think this is "friendship" well...no.
@@1000OtherFoxesThis is probably the main reason for the "cant be friends" talk. If only guys would stop pretending to be friends when they want something else.
@@jessy1982 Well you have to be smart about human nature.
I like this take
The Christian guy and girl should please send us updates on how their next date went. Basically, update
Yesssss
Jessica Rabbit is kinda confusing, first instance you agree that women and men can't have platonic friendships because there will always be an underlying attraction, doesn't that go against the instance of not dating someone you don't find attractive in the cases if they are platonic friends?
STOP NOT JESSICA RABBIT IKEMDKDMEKDKDKDMD
I don't think they picked the best sample of people for this debate...
@@ShinigamiXL_ Her arguments always fall apart and no one really challenges them.
@@nathanielplacide4119 problem is with jubilee, is they invite social media influencers to debate on things they clearly don’t have the intellect or argumentative ability for
they took 3 religious people
, obviously they didn't pick the best sample of people lmao@@ShinigamiXL_
So if you're gay is it impossible to have platonic friendships with the same sex? NO.
This pretty much sums up how ridiculous it is that men and women cant be just friends
They're gonna say "but it's different." If you can't possibly be friends with another person for the way they were born YOURE the problem in why that is.
What does being gay have to do with the argument? It has to do with unreciprocated attraction.

@@noire9601lol! It’s not impossible 😌😉
I totally understand why/see that he has lots of female friends! I wonder if they’ve helped him become a sweet sensitive person or if they just sensed he was that way from the get to :)
I like the dude who kept changing his mind, bro was actually listening to what people were saying and thinking hard on it
He was hilarious switching back and forth of the sides.
I'm glad you enjoyed it ! I'm very open minded and I actively think when asked questions, so I try to respond based off my thoughts and experiences in that moment rather than maintain a concrete stance in a subject.
@@facewednesday I love your mindset. I think no one is entitled to a strong opinion unless they've thought about the topic at length, so I'd be just like you for some of these questions. Most people have egos and hate thinking their opinions are wrong, so it's rare seeing people like you.
@@herroyung857 I'm a thinker, so I like to look at everything from multiple angles. Long as it makes sense I'll stand my ground, but if something switches up my perspective, I've got no problem adapting either. Glad you enjoyed the episode 🙌🏾
@@facewednesdayur amazing dude!!
13:30 there is nothing worse for a child than the mindset of “force yourself to stay together for the child”
My niece and nephew got out of control as soon as my sister got divorced. My nephew died at 19, and my niece is 22 and has no semblance of responsibility. I can see how breaking up the family affected them
@@whitedeion598do you think it was the break up or the parents only being together cause they birthed you?
@@Galaxylion_omega having the parents split up gave them freedom to be completely out of control. Within a month my nephew was in trouble with the law and my niece started doing drugs. My sister was so focused on being their friend that she just started making excuses for them
But she also mentioned you need to get to the root of the issue.
@@whitedeion598… no, a divorce doesn’t “give kids the freedom to be out of control,”
It kind of sounds like they just had bad parents.
Divorce can be an incredibly hard thing for a child, but to say it was the divorce that caused your nephew and nieces issues is very clearly over looking a lot of problems both before and after said divorce.
I need Luke and Feenix to date asap! It’s also really funny to me that we saw more chemistry on a spectrum episode then on a dating episode 😂
Aww the 2 Christians were the cutest! It was great to see our beliefs and values represented in a positive way. The last question had me smiling so muchhh 🫶🏽

Jubilee needs to bring back the a slightly agree/disagree line. It added more nuance to the conversation.
Fr
Fr why did they took it of tho?
They add nuance by talking about it after, I think it had the potential to just be more of a cop out than anything.
Agree
I had a feeling that the 2 religious people would click, I was pleasantly surprised by the final question and their answers!
Edit: sentence mistake
Hey i really have to know if they ended up together!!!!!!!???
Why can't they bring them to represent the Christians lol
they were cringe
@@snapsfyou’re hating 😭
Same. I could tell when they stood next to each other and smiled at each other in agreement half way through
3:00 Knowing that Kian grew up similarly to myself, as in, being closer with women than other men & still being completely straight is reassuring. I'm not worried about my sexuality or any part of my masculinity, I'm just glad there are people who view things from the same perspective that I do. 😌👍
Cheating is not the worst thing a partner can do to you, physically, emotional and economical abuse are far worse.
That’s subjective
also, cheating CAN be both emotional and finacial abuse
@@ferretsnaxBut is not the worst thing. Talk to women and the children of those women who have suffered from domestic abuse, better yet, talk to people who's partner has abused her/his kids. Cheating would be preferable in those situations
The people who agreed that men and women cannot just be friends forgot that not all men and women are heterosexual. Most of my friends are female, I'm not interested in anything but a platonic friendship with them. Also, not all gay men are feminine (just like not all straight men are masculine) so I don't know where Janelle was going with that point.
I think everyone was thinking about men and women who were attracted to the opposite sex
like imagine what happens to all the bi/pan people? we get no friends because we are attracted to all genders? the logic doesnt hold up
Most of these people who disagree have never had an opportunity to be friends with the opposite gender in the first place.
@MusicFreak61594 still applies I terms of masculine and feminine presenting in both genders, not always aligning
@@MusicFreak61594are you attracted to every person of the opposite sex you see in public?
I love how Asher seems to have strong opinions but moves around every 2 seconds
I'm a thinker, so I move accordingly 😂
So relatable actually 😅
There is the saying that "Strong opinions, loosely held" is a great approach to life. I enjoyed Asher's thought provoking questions/opinions in this video a lot, personally :)
People need to be okay with the idea that you can love and be intimate with friends. You can feel deep love and connection to someone without needing/wanting to be in a relationship with them or have sex.
“Relationships get worse not better” is incredibly untrue. I’ve been in a relationship for 6 years and never felt that way. Things are hard sometimes but the more I get to know him the more I have to love, and it’s always getting better over time.
There are female/male friendships that are like a brother/sister relationship. Many of my friends have been male. Never anything else.
Don't ask them whether they want to sleep with you, you'll be surprised lol.
@@rocketi05 So your saying men can't possibly be friends with a woman without having an ulterior motive? What exactly does that say about y'all
There friend zoned still believing to have a chance lol
@@snapsf ngl a lot of guys purposefully befriend attractive girls to get to know them. It's rare to see a guy being friends with an unattractive girl. In fact a lot of relationships start from just friends.
@@snapsfit’s not an ulterior motive. It’s actually a man’s psychology
I liked that this group had a wide range of perspectives and weren't afraid of standing alone or having an unpopular opinion. They discussed maturely and respectfully which is rare these days
I love Asher in every video I see of him, he's so funny and openly shows when he's not entirely sure on decision. He listens to other people and is still 100% himself.
Asher is such a character😂 Thank you for always having him in these videos👏

@@Roseypose17 that'd be awesome 😂 imagine telling the story to the kids or showing them the video!
That would be amazing 😅I hope we get an update on them. @@VoVina111
I was shocked that jubilee actually had not one but two people presenting a Christian viewpoint competently. Usually the kinds of people they get make us look really bad or crazy lol
i came looking for this comment. i was giggling and kicking my feet at the end when they both went to strongly agree.
Also just because you have had friends that you developed that emotional connection with doesn’t mean that you want to date them. It is so weird to me that people think you cant have an emotional connection, and other types of connections outside of dating. And that if you were to develop it, then automatically, you have to date them.
That's everything for some of us. So be careful who you give that to. You'll be a serial heartbreaker that way.
But it does mean it’s not platonic anymore because the dude likes you.
@@Kirbystare1992I would still consider it platonic if they never expressed their romantic feelings towards their friend, the friendship still remains platonic even if one of them romantically likes the other.
@@Neighbor8773 no it’s not whether he expresses it or not lol
@@Kirbystare1992 the friendship is still platonic tho because nothing is going on romantically between the two only within oneself. And like the original comment says even if you do develop romantic feelings it doesn’t mean you need to turn that friendship into something romantic.
why is janelle wearing a whole prom dress
Are we gonna talk about how Luke and Feenix are so compatible ?! They share so many beliefs and similarities and seem like they would work so well together :’)
The Christians? She disagreed with him in original question and then switched sides cuz she found the guy attractive lol.
Doubt she was suddenly agreeing with him just cuz he was christian.
I really hope Jessica rabbit isn't a relationship coach because unconditional love should only be reserved for children... Thats the kind of advice that keeps people in abusive relationships
👍
I agree with that. I also think that you can unconditionally love someone, but just decide you don't want to be in a romantic relationship with them.
jessica rabbit lmao
i wish someone asked her if she thinks women cheating is worse than men cheating in marriages. given how much emphasis she put on the "single indiscretion" of the guy. what a pick me.
I think she is actually lol
As a married, monogamous bisexual who has plenty of friends of different genders, the first question was hella weird. Like, I have not had the urge to sleep with all my girl and guy friends. People who really believe this take are weird in my opinion.
People who think women have the same carnal desires as men are weird in my opinion.
yea it’s so weird. i guess if we’re bi we can’t have any friends at all?? idk how people think like this
@ville__ cap
I didn’t know we were including this🏳️🌈
thats a pretty hot topic tbh
the fact that people genuinely believe that men and women can't just be friends is crazy to me
Well it's a nuanced topic, I don't want to go all jordan peterson but it depends on what you really mean by friends and what qualifies as friends
It's definitely difficult for straight men and women though to be truly friends without expecting or hoping anything else happens. Typically I feel the guy would need to be more attractive than the girl in order to have a better success rate at just being 100% friends. It would be incredibly surprising to me if a guy has a female friend who is attractive that he wouldn't hope in the back of his mind that he gets to sleep with her.
Women have a much easier access to sex so they wouldn't really need to rely on their friend to get it.
Seriously, like they’ve only spoken to like 5 people in their whole life lmao
Think about this: does your mother have male friends? I’d guess probably no cuz mine doesn’t and my dad doesn’t have any female friends either
I genuinely believe it because that has been my experience my whole life. I've tried, I really have tried to just be friends with women. Every. Single. Time. Either I eventually get attracted to them or they get attracted to me and because of it we stop being friends. This has happened to me over 10 times in my life. I will never be convinced it is possible. Someone ALWAYS has it in the back of their mind, whether they want to admit it or not.
Men and women CAN be friends, doesn't mean that they will never be attracted to each other, but you can be friends and aware of attraction without wanting or needing to act on it. But I have never met someone who just wanted to be friends, I guess it depends if both parties are agreeing on remaining friendly
Nope not to me lmao
“Be aware of attraction” nah that’s basically cheating for me.
Y’all stay safe though🤣🙏
I feel like there are friendships that start out of mutual love in a friendly way like liking the same things in common but most people end up misunderstanding it as a sexually driven friendship
Exactly
Agree
And sometimes lovers realize they should just be friends
How do you not fall into this misunderstanding? How can you tell you're not actually developing more and/or new feelings that align closer to being in a relationship?
@@pwetty4r4 that roo
Janelle saying that cheating shouldn’t break up a marriage bothered me. It sounds like she just lets her husband, and possibly herself, do whatever. Cheating is not part of a marriage, and it doesn’t allow mean there’s a problem. It’s a CHOICE. You chose to get married, chose to commit to that person, then chose to step out
She also kept trying to shame them with “so you would break up a family and traumatize the children just over cheating??” When-guess what- she’s a single mom who is no longer with the father of her children. She’s just a hypocritical pick-me clown who will say anything. Not a serious person.
She is very odd cause she said “oh it means there is a problem that we can fix” where just earlier she said “Relationships don’t get better they get worse”….so which is it
@@Bayuuk she was talking about how physical attraction usually declines, 2 separate things
It's not always black and white. What if it's a sexless marriage but neither of you believe in divorce
I feel like the first option would’ve been she does it, not her husband does it..but both could be likely
I hope Luke and Fennix go out on a date cause they’re so cute:)
“I would date someone in this room” is crazy lmaooo yall threw that one in there on the spot

@@snapsfok but if she were skinny and had smaller 🍒 u wouldnt be saying that
@@anissapichnanunshe’s anti-feminist and talks about how women need to submit to men and respect their bodies’. yet she is not dressing modestly. it’s not about her being not skinny (she is skinny anyways) but you can always cover up your chest. even when you have like DD+. i’m not saying she should cover up but it’s kinda hypocritical
If we are questioning and debating whether men and women can be truly friends, then we are failing not just as a society, but we are failing as a species as well.
Animals mostly aren't "friends". Specifically in the wild. They benefit from living in groups, but when mating season arrives, they're mating.
So no that's not failing as a species.
@@lonewaerThat’s why humans are distinguished as going against our animalistic nature. That’s what has allowed us to evolve and adapt to the point of where we are now. So it doesn’t matter if men and women not being friends isn’t naturally occurring (which isn’t even the case anyway), because by that logic, TOILETS would be wrong. FORKS would be wrong, just because they aren’t natural

i love Maren shes so thoughtful with her words and overall just kind hearted. LOVE TO SEE IT😊
Something doesn't have to be the worst thing ever to warrant a breakup.
The way we define "friends" is important. You can't compare a friend you spend time alone with talking about sensitive and serious topics, comparing that to a person you see once a week in passing.
First smart comment
true
THIS. THIS.
People nowadays have loose definitions of the word friends not realizing the word acquaintance exist
Definitely! Someone who I feel comfortable enough sharing intimate conversations with is going to lead me to feeling comfortable to be intimate in more ways. It takes a very rare set of circumstances for these kind of close friendships to stagnate and continue only as friends and both parties truly happy with the other finding another person to live their life with instead.
I understand cheating is bad and all, but people really think it’s the WORST thing you can do?? Just off the top of my head, pretending to be in love with someone for years just to save face after getting married and having children, then later on confessing that you never loved them at all is wayy worse and people literally do that more than cheating 🤦🏽♂️
Or putting hands on you, destroying property, accusations etc..
I agree with you but to a lesser extent. Cheating should be a dealbreaker and people should take it seriously and be extremely upset about it when it happens. And we shouldn't discount it as a bad thing because certain things are worse. It's a violation of trust and it really hurts someone. But some people are now saying cheating is abuse. I don't think that's really true. A lot of abusers cheat on their partners and do it repeatedly. I think in those cases it counts but I don't think it should be thrown into the abuse category.
@@truthseeker9249 Why shouldn't it be thrown in next to all the other kinds of abuse? Cheating can have long term negative impact on its victims just as easily.
@@Bambim8 perhaps. But that's why I think only extreme cases of cheating should count. Cheating on your partner with their own friend or family member aka someone they know, someone they trust. Or being a repeat offender. Cheating on them multiple times.
But the argument was more is it very bad to cheat or is it not one of the top things, I think I remember one of the people even said there probably is something worse but…
I hope they have more episodes of these. I could watch this for hours
Maren is so eloquently spoken!!
The two people who ended up on the ‘strongly agree’ line at the end omg 🥺
AHHH IK 👀👀
So adorable!!!
cheating being the worst thing someone could do is a bit crazy. There are MANY crimes that can be committed that would not only go against your trust, but unequivocally disrupt your life. Cheating sucks, yes, but I could never say that was the absolute worst thing possible.
They should’ve reworded it to “is cheating a dealbreaker?”
@@charlotteru4634 I absolutely agree. I think the way they present it, it is easy to say "of course it's the worst"
And no one answered as if that's what was asked because I doubt anyone takes that as the literal.
No need to be a pedantic sad sack
@@coletrainhetrick the question is literal?
i like how everyone in this video were so resectful of eachother its was wholesome
I loved this group of people, they were all very energetic and funny. Also, they seemed to respectful of others' opinions.
Y'all should do a split decision episode with men and women who are just friends
There's actually a split decision episode coming out soon with male and female besties; stay tuned !
And if one of the did secretly catch feelings, you think theyd just air it out on camera?
@@rockstarburnenope
@@rockstarburnethat's inherently saying those who did agree to do it on camera don't have feelings for eachother. Further proving the point it is possible to have platonic friendships between men & women.
This crowd of people had so much chemistry this was honestly one of my fave jubilee videos
ENDING was so wholesome.
Black shirt and green top, i definitely thought they were compatible 😭❤️
bruh leaving us on that cliff hanger! we need an update on this prospective new couple!
We had WAAAYYYY too much fun filming this episode, to the point that y'all barely see a fraction of the chemistry we had on set, but that's editing for you. None the less I hope everyone enjoys this segment, and hopefully y'all don't flame me too much for the next one that comes out 👀
you were amazing! loved the energy you presented
@@daviannahamilton9275glad you enjoyed my presence, and hopefully you next episode that comes out as well 🙏🏾
u were my favorite
you were pretty annoying in this episode tbh
lol sure you did
Something made me deeply uncomfortable about “if you’re lonely, and your friend was throwing it out at you?” You do realize that there are people who don’t want or need sex and do not like to have sex with just anyone. (Some terms, demisexual, asexual, or simply a person who doesn’t need to have constant sex, its ok with not having any.)
he's so simple minded. not everyone wants sex all the time even if they are lonely.
As an aroace I literally have to interest in sex or romance. Even I find a person attractive and/or nice, my mind can't go further than hoping we can be cool friends😅 my mind just isn't wired that way, and sometimes i just can't see why everyone else can't make it as easy, but I'm not on the other side so I try to step back
Same, I’m aroace and it bugs me so much dude
She made it sound like men are animals. A human being can choose to not let a fleeting thought dictate their actions, especially if they are capable of commitments and conscious decisions. There are people who choose to be celibate. And lot of these participants also say they wouldn't date someone they don't find physically attractive.
I find it as silly as glazing over the fact that marriage vows include you being faithful to your partner. Cheating and breaking your partner's trust is already breaking that vow. People who dismiss it as an unavoidable carnal action probably aren't suited or ready for marriage, as they have commitment issues. I agree with communicating the problems in a relationship to solve them but both people should commit and make efforts to nurture the relationship. Cheating is already against that.
Exactly, do they not realise that people also have self control? Not to mention the fact that some people regard their friendships as way more important.
That last question was crazy, junilee ya real crafty.
i love seeing people with differing beliefs be respectful and kind to each other regardless.
Usually a lot of Jubilee's videos are very argumentative which is fun and interesting to watch but I did also really enjoy this video because of how much banter there was, it's cool that they seemed to all have a fun discussion about this! Usually I get a bit angry at the people in the videos I disagree with but this time I was able to laugh along even with those I disagreed with
Yeah that’s why I like the spectrum videos better than the middle ground ones because while there is still discourse, it feels more lighthearted and people can actually find agreement on something
I totally get what u mean. I feel like ppl are able to fimd a minddle ground here (somewhat), than compared to the actual middle ground set up. The actual one feels so serious and i get that its supposed to be but ppl come in ready to argue where as this spectrum style set up feels like its just a discussion not a debate.
Honestly don't understand why people think men and women can't just be friends. I have a lot of platonic friendships with girls. Do I find some attractive physically? Of course, but some people you just don't connect with on a romantic level and that's okay.
Meanwhile I have my fair share of romantic relationships. I make it clear from the start that I have female friends. If she has an issue with that, that's her issue to resolve.
Really puffing yourself up, aren't you redditor?
Just for consistencies sake.
You're fine with your girlfriend telling you she had male friends who she found physically attractive too.
The effect of opposite sex friendships are more negative than positive on romantic relationships, especially if they aren't mutual friends (the effect of those is nearly all negative).
@@J_Harris99 Yes. I don't have trust issues nor do i believe it's my place to tell my girlfriends who they should and should not be friends with.
It all comes from 'When Harry met Sally'.
I love Marin! She is so well spoken and understanding!
Honestly weird vibes
Wow this group of people were very positive and refreshing
Exactly
it also helps this topic is mostly lighthearted. if it was something political, i think itd be heated.
I like that they disagreed on a lot of things but didn’t scream at eachother for it.
“Relationships get worse not better”??? That’s a terrible narrative surrounding a bond that you share with someone you claim to love. If you and your partner can’t grow your relationship in a positive trajectory (not discounting tough times/hardships) y’all just shouldn’t be together 😅…
shes projecting hard and acting like she's an expert on relationships cuz she thinks she understands men. yeah...incel men
I love how everyone was all bubbly and joking around. It was a fun watch!
I had a classmate who I became close acquaintance/friends with because we were in the same class section for 5 years straight from middle school to high school years so we became really close and casual. People took notice of this and heavily shiptease us because we're a 'boy and girl' who are close with one another, that only made things awkward for awhile and I almost gaslight myself for thinking I had feelings for my friend during my confusion and self reflection.
13:20 "send her to the stripper pole" had me cacklinggggg 💀 this one was hard to watch ngl
It's damn ironic since she looks like a stripper 😂
I saw this comment but I was not expecting her to be referring to her “daughter”
What's funny is that both she and the other girl are dressed like strippers lol
i am dying every time jenna makes a face when janelle was talking 😭😭😭
As she should because 😅😅😅
If you’ve met from a young age and grown up together, high chance that there’s a sibling like bond. Even as adults it can still happen.
Sometimes men want to date you after being friends because it made them realize you have a lot of compatible qualities. Not the other way around where they scheme to be your friend based on attractiveness like some late 90s rom-com movie.
i guess as a gay non feminine guy with female friends, i just don’t exist?
You're literally the exception, why bother listening to heterosexual advice, it doesn't apply to you
Some people live in a bubble.
Bunch of idiots if you ask me
You do exist sweetie , and you’re loved 🥰 🖤🖤🖤
Exactly
The two Christians at the last prompt- that was so cute
Love is unconditional however a relationship is conditional. Once the trust of our relationship has been broken by cheating then 9/10 that's the end of the relationship. Doesn't mean that the love I have for that person isn't there anymore.
As a Christian, i strongly disagree that men and women cannot be just friends. Some of my best friends are men and there is no desire to be anything more than friends.
I can guarantee it’s not the same for your male friends, especially as a Christian
Women saying they can just be friends isn't saying anything because it's easy for women to be friends with men as you don't have sex drives like men do and it also boosts your ego to have men wanting to date you
If cheating was the worst thing a partner could do the world would be a paradise. I can think of dozens of things that are worse.
oh that last bit was sweet. The question was asked, and he took it at face value, and she was over on that side of the room.
love seeing maren here after seeing her pop up on my tik tok feed with her astrology content!!!
They should post the full clips I wanna know where they’re going with it
Men and women can definitely be just friends. I have this female friend I am nowhere near attracted to but she's funny and she used to help me with chemistry and math. Also have some female friends from high school and some from uni
Fr I have some friends that I lived with in uni (we were a flat of 8) and they're like family to me.
You just explained the biggest caveat. You are not attracted to her....
I think when people are asked this question they imagine an attractive guy and attractive girl that are friends having a drink together at a party or something... Like in that scenario it's way less likely they can just be friends
@@leroyrodgers6089 But that's the point. The question asks if men and women can just be friends. Of course they can if they're not attracted to each other. Also even if one or both were attracted, they may choose to remain friends instead if they value their friendship too much.
@@leroyrodgers6089 Yes, of course most people are only able to be friends with someone they are not attracted to. Why does this always come up in comments about this topic like it`s a revelation? The definition of a friend is basically "Person I like to spent time with, but are not attracted to".
Jubilee, these videos have lowered in quality tremendously since this series (and others) have started. Cutting conversations (and even prompts) behind paywalls to make even more money? When did you become a corporation? Please release series like Spectrum and Middle Ground with the conversations that these people have, regardless of how it makes them look. We watch these videos to understand more about humans and their thought processes, we need the whole story. Please consider.
Agreed
Yeah,they b saying "we include everyone" and than make content only for people that can afford it 💀
Productions cost money! Why not support your favorite content when u can?
jenna’s face every time janelle started talking 😭
What a fun and diverse group!! Refreshing to watch.
I think the ones who thought cheating is the worst thing possible really lack imagination because there's SO many other things they could do that are way way worse
Like, hello Abuse?
😂
Lmao, facts. Very low iq that they would agree.
@@zandikhetwayo7444I've been abused and cheated on, and for me personally, being cheated on was worse. When dating my now husband, it took a longgg time to truly trust his faithfulness, whereas the trauma from being abused healed much faster because of his kindness and gentle nature. I more easily trusted that he would not abuse me, but I really struggled with trusting that he would remain faithful. That showed me which scars were deeper. That's just me though.
LITREALLY! id 100% have someone cheating on me than be in an mentally/physically abusive relationship. And as someone who has seen those kinds of relationships around me, I was so frustrated how no one brought it up
The disappointed “huh” from one of the people when Maren explained that she was only attracted to goths 💀
Maren has an admirer there
@@Random-sk6hm well yes, she's quite literally stuffed in a corset and half-nekkid
Best episode in my opinion
i loved the vibe and the questions especially i ADORED at the end those two Christians strongly agreeing to date each other - so cuteeee-
That last segment-about dating someone in the room-cracked me up! I could tell that Luke and Feelix connected with each other when they found out that they were both Christians. It was also displayed by what her body language was saying towards him (like the way she'd move closer) and everyone else could tell. And what Luke said at the end was the cherry on top.
