Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

0:41Do you think there's in any way women have been lied to about delay having kids as long as possible, make as much as money as you can, be financially stable first, develop yourself in your career, don't rely on the man to do this, otherwise you get it screwed over. where I just saw someone have the most joy in the last six months of like stepping into this role as a mother. Maybe that's just one case, but what are your thoughts on that? I think the sort of you've been lied to, you worked hard, you became a bottle professionally, now you're miserable because you didn't take the time to find a man or have a family.

1:18I think that's a little bit of this trope or this myth from the far right that wants to take women back to the 50s and 60s. Because, okay, what if that woman also wasn't able to find a romantic partnership and was also economically insecure? True. So I don't, I find sometimes that's an excuse to try and take, to regress and repeal women's rights. Now, I think, now the reality is if a man focuses on his career and is out of shape, not especially nice, but a baller professionally, he's still going to find a mate. And that's not as true for women. A partner at a law firm who's a male, who's maybe just modestly attractive and not that nice and not that nurturing, he's going to find a wife.

2:16I'm not sure. I mean, it's just a little bit unfair, quite frankly, because we put the same economic responsibilities on women and the same expectations, but we don't reward them romantically and sexually with the same currency as we reward a man for that focus. So quite frankly, but I don't think, I think women wanting to be economically independent and enjoy having strangers applaud for them on a stage financially and professionally, I think we need more of it. I do think that both men and women need to make a real effort to approach people, be approachable, say yes, put yourself in situations where you might meet somebody.

3:00Maybe if there's not sparks on the first date, give a second coffee a chance. But this notion, I don't like the rights trope or this narrative around women that have lied to, and they should be home barefoot and pregnant. I just think that's kind of inadvertently saying. This is not me politically saying these things. I'm just curious about like. Quite frankly, this is what Charlie Kirk said, that women are miserable. And here's the data flies in the face of that because you know who's really miserable is the dude that wakes up in his 30s and isn't in a relationship. The data is pretty clear. Men need relationships more than women.

3:36One of the things I say in the book that's gotten some pushback is, you know i try to be very honest i tell my boys that if they're ever in the company of women they pay people say well that's sexist i think it's sexist i think it's generous it's adding value it's being courteous it's being thoughtful that's right it's like why is that sexist well the the what the way the land offer to pay if they say no then okay you don't have to i guess i think you just pay yeah and i'll get my land acknowledgement now so the rationale that i try and propose is that men benefit more from relationships than women.

4:13There's just, you know, widows happier after their husband dies, widower is less happy. A woman's fertility window is much shorter than a man's. The downside of sex for a woman is much greater than a man's. Bigger risk, yeah. So when you look at the fact that on average a man's going to benefit more from the relationship, that the woman is taking more risks in terms of downside or risk, when her fertility window is shorter, and when you also acknowledge that almost every mammal has some sort of courtship ritual, it makes sense for one way that you recognize that asymmetry one way you step up and say i value your time i value this situation if you will one easy way to recognize and acknowledge that asymmetry is to pay and also innately regardless of what someone might say what i've told my 18 year old son is anytime you split the check with anyone it means they are never going to kiss you and you are never going to kiss them that's the bottom line and i think those genes are wired into us for thousands of years.

5:08And regardless of what we say, well, it's who asked who out. I'm just saying to my boys, in my view, that if you're in the company of women, you pay. And I think it's a means of manners demonstrating a small amount of valor. That's true.
