Hi, my name is John Coaxum,
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
and welcome to my
barbershop Cuttin' Loose.
00:00:02.73\00:00:04.07
You know the
barbershop is the last place
00:00:04.10\00:00:05.67
where a guy can speak
freely about his issues.
00:00:05.70\00:00:08.34
Today, we have an
interesting conversation
00:00:08.37\00:00:10.57
entitled The Real
Deal on Relationships.
00:00:10.61\00:00:13.61
You don't want to
miss this, standby.
00:00:13.64\00:00:15.51
How' does it look, man?
00:00:48.14\00:00:49.68
Awesome. Good stuff, man.
00:00:49.71\00:00:51.28
You're looking good,
right? Thanks for working me up.
00:00:51.31\00:00:52.65
Welcome, dude, you're welcome.
00:00:52.68\00:00:54.12
Yeah, let me
get you out of that.
00:00:54.15\00:00:57.42
Good? Fresh cut.
00:00:57.45\00:00:58.82
Matter of fact, yo, yo,
hol on, hold on one second,
00:00:58.85\00:01:00.29
one second, one second,
how was last night, man?
00:01:00.32\00:01:02.26
Oh, dude, last night,
00:01:02.29\00:01:04.13
I went to the mall
and I saw her again.
00:01:04.16\00:01:06.59
Yeah. And same girl?
00:01:06.63\00:01:08.26
Same girl. Yeah.
00:01:08.30\00:01:09.63
Looking as fine as ever. And?
00:01:09.66\00:01:11.57
I approached
her, I came correctly,
00:01:11.60\00:01:14.04
I was actually dressed nice too,
00:01:14.07\00:01:15.94
and she rejected me, dude.
00:01:15.97\00:01:17.31
She rejected you?
00:01:17.34\00:01:18.67
I don't know
what's wrong with her,
00:01:18.71\00:01:20.04
I'm a good looking
guy, I'm a nice guy.
00:01:20.08\00:01:21.41
Yo, hold on a second, hold on,
00:01:21.44\00:01:22.78
guys, listen and check this out.
00:01:22.81\00:01:24.15
So my boy just
got rejected again.
00:01:24.18\00:01:27.48
Dude, man, what is
wrong with you, man?
00:01:27.52\00:01:29.75
Is it really me?
00:01:29.78\00:01:31.12
What's wrong with
the women out there?
00:01:31.15\00:01:32.49
I don't know, I don't know.
00:01:32.52\00:01:33.86
Hold on a second,
hold on. It is him.
00:01:33.89\00:01:37.19
But check this out,
man, Korey, I don't know,
00:01:37.23\00:01:38.73
you got to ask for
what women want, man.
00:01:38.76\00:01:40.26
Man, no, but I
need to develop one.
00:01:40.30\00:01:43.30
I mean, that's what something
00:01:43.33\00:01:44.67
that I've been thinking
about for a very long time.
00:01:44.70\00:01:46.03
No, honestly, man,
00:01:46.07\00:01:47.40
what in the world do women want?
00:01:47.44\00:01:48.77
I mean, have you ever
asked yourself that question,
00:01:48.80\00:01:50.31
anybody, any time?
00:01:50.34\00:01:51.67
Yeah, and I never
came up with an answer yet.
00:01:51.71\00:01:53.04
Never came with an answer.
00:01:53.07\00:01:54.41
All these years, I
still didn't come with answer.
00:01:54.44\00:01:55.78
And you're married, right?
00:01:55.81\00:01:57.15
And I'm married.
00:01:57.18\00:01:58.51
Wow. Absolutely.
00:01:58.55\00:01:59.88
This is like the
biggest mystery of mankind, man,
00:01:59.91\00:02:01.42
what do women want?
00:02:01.45\00:02:02.78
Yo, check this out, man.
00:02:02.82\00:02:04.15
Do you think that
girls will go for a guy
00:02:04.19\00:02:06.65
that doesn't have a job?
00:02:06.69\00:02:09.82
Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Yeah?
00:02:09.86\00:02:11.93
Some of our boys got
females and they got no jobs.
00:02:11.96\00:02:16.13
Would you think
girls prefer a guy man
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.90
that maybe has a well-paying job
00:02:18.93\00:02:22.50
because, you know,
00:02:22.54\00:02:23.87
sometimes girls ideals
are just so astronomical,
00:02:23.91\00:02:26.57
don't you guys
feel that way sometimes?
00:02:26.61\00:02:27.94
Like there is one more
than a guy could ever give.
00:02:27.98\00:02:31.91
I think so. Yeah.
00:02:31.95\00:02:33.28
I think women want,
they want the money.
00:02:33.31\00:02:34.78
They want nice car, they
want a guy that has it together.
00:02:34.82\00:02:37.89
I mean, they're
looking for, you know,
00:02:37.92\00:02:40.39
all the expectations
to be met right away.
00:02:40.42\00:02:42.29
Right. So I think it's hard.
00:02:42.32\00:02:43.79
You know what? I
know what girls want.
00:02:43.83\00:02:45.39
They want the
666. What's that 666?
00:02:45.43\00:02:49.46
Six feet tall, six
pack, and six-figure salary.
00:02:49.50\00:02:52.80
Mercy.
00:02:52.83\00:02:54.34
They want the
666. Is that right?
00:02:54.37\00:02:56.84
Dude, I'm cancelled
out in the first six, man.
00:02:56.87\00:02:58.67
I'm nowhere near
6 feet tall, man.
00:02:58.71\00:03:00.31
Sorry.
00:03:00.34\00:03:01.68
I'm blessed to
be married, right?
00:03:01.71\00:03:03.04
You are.
00:03:03.08\00:03:04.41
So what about a car,
man, what about a car?
00:03:04.45\00:03:06.25
Have you ever
wanted to get with a girl
00:03:06.28\00:03:07.98
and she didn't
want to get with you
00:03:08.02\00:03:09.35
just because you
didn't have a car?
00:03:09.38\00:03:10.79
Or do you know somebody?
00:03:10.82\00:03:12.15
Yo, TLC messed this up, man.
00:03:12.19\00:03:13.52
Yeah? Why?
00:03:13.56\00:03:16.02
Sitting in the passenger side
00:03:16.06\00:03:18.26
of his best
friend's ride, you want to...
00:03:18.29\00:03:19.83
Wow. That thing messed this up.
00:03:19.86\00:03:22.50
I mean, females were
feeling bikes in the '90s...
00:03:22.53\00:03:26.27
Okay, okay. They
were feeling bikes.
00:03:26.30\00:03:28.14
And then TLC come, they wax us
00:03:28.17\00:03:31.37
and now nobody wants anything
less than a Benz, a BMW.
00:03:31.41\00:03:35.41
I don't know man
it's all materialistic.
00:03:35.44\00:03:37.58
Yeah. Wow, wow.
00:03:37.61\00:03:38.95
They're just like,
"So what are you driving?"
00:03:38.98\00:03:40.32
Yeah. Like that matters.
00:03:40.35\00:03:41.98
You know, what
about my character?
00:03:42.02\00:03:43.49
What about, you know,
what I bring to the table?
00:03:43.52\00:03:45.65
What if you can pay
for a taxi to get you
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.12
from point A to point
B, doesn't matter, right?
00:03:47.16\00:03:48.52
Well, you're kind of
bus man... We'll take Uber.
00:03:48.56\00:03:49.89
Let's take Uber.
Yeah, let's take Uber.
00:03:49.92\00:03:51.26
Yeah, an Uber date, come on now.
00:03:51.29\00:03:52.99
Right. Right, right.
00:03:53.03\00:03:54.36
As long as we get
there, you know...
00:03:54.40\00:03:56.16
So check this out, man,
I've been wondering, man,
00:03:56.20\00:03:57.70
are girls more picky than guys?
00:03:57.73\00:04:02.17
Yeah, man, I think honestly,
00:04:02.20\00:04:03.77
the guys can be a
little more stiff than girls,
00:04:03.81\00:04:06.61
you know, with the expectations.
00:04:06.64\00:04:07.98
I know for me personally, man,
I had a lot of expectations,
00:04:08.01\00:04:10.11
I had a lot of nonnegotiables,
you know, and so, I mean,
00:04:10.15\00:04:13.28
and nowadays too,
sometimes you see girls,
00:04:13.31\00:04:15.05
they cannot just date
any odd guy, as long as,
00:04:15.08\00:04:16.75
you know, decent guys,
as long as he's doing okay.
00:04:16.79\00:04:19.19
I mean, you've got to remember
too the odds are in our favor.
00:04:19.22\00:04:21.96
Mercy. What did you mean?
00:04:21.99\00:04:23.89
What I'm saying is
there's more girls than guys.
00:04:23.93\00:04:26.16
That's all I'm saying.
00:04:26.19\00:04:27.86
So I'm saying is
we have the luxury
00:04:27.90\00:04:29.86
of being a little
bit more picky, you know,
00:04:29.90\00:04:32.23
say when a girl
break my heart, man,
00:04:32.27\00:04:34.54
there's a tons of fish
in the sea, you know...
00:04:34.57\00:04:36.87
So what are your nonnegotiables?
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.07
Well, I can tell
you what used to be
00:04:39.11\00:04:40.44
my nonnegotiables before
my wife came into my life.
00:04:40.48\00:04:44.11
We're all
insane. We're all insane.
00:04:44.15\00:04:45.75
You know, back in the
day I would say, you know,
00:04:45.78\00:04:48.28
the woman I had married
had to be a virgin, you know,
00:04:48.32\00:04:51.29
and that didn't mean
00:04:51.32\00:04:52.65
I didn't date girls that weren't
00:04:52.69\00:04:54.02
I just screwed that up,
00:04:54.06\00:04:55.39
I probably won't go
marry her, you know...
00:04:55.42\00:04:56.76
Right, right.
00:04:56.79\00:04:58.13
Or I would say, you know,
00:04:58.16\00:04:59.49
I really wouldn't try to
marry a girl who had kids,
00:04:59.53\00:05:00.86
you know, and those are
some of my nonnegotiables, man.
00:05:00.90\00:05:02.56
She had, she got
to work, you know,
00:05:02.60\00:05:04.77
she don't got to bring in,
you know, all kinds of money,
00:05:04.80\00:05:06.70
but at the same time
00:05:06.74\00:05:08.07
you can't be sitting
around the house, man,
00:05:08.10\00:05:09.44
not doing anything,
00:05:09.47\00:05:10.81
I'm not that kind of
person, not a caveman.
00:05:10.84\00:05:12.67
Got to go to
work, got to go to work.
00:05:12.71\00:05:14.24
Well, yo, check
this out, Mike, I mean,
00:05:14.28\00:05:15.61
I know you're married
now, Will, you're married,
00:05:15.64\00:05:17.35
did you have any nonnegotiables
before you got married?
00:05:17.38\00:05:20.95
These things you would
not budge on whatsoever.
00:05:20.98\00:05:23.95
Not, man, for real, my
girlfriend, my wife now...
00:05:23.99\00:05:27.36
But we started dating
when we were in eighth grade.
00:05:27.39\00:05:29.69
Mercy. Are you serious?
00:05:29.72\00:05:31.06
Wow. Eight grade...
00:05:31.09\00:05:32.63
We kind of grew
up together, right?
00:05:32.66\00:05:34.73
So I kind of, you know...
00:05:34.76\00:05:36.10
This man, don't
offer the Black Notebook.
00:05:36.13\00:05:39.53
Yeah, the Notebook
was dumb man, but, I mean,
00:05:39.57\00:05:42.97
we kind of grew up
together so I kind of watched,
00:05:43.00\00:05:45.51
so, you know,
00:05:45.54\00:05:46.88
what she really thought
about life and what not, so...
00:05:46.91\00:05:49.24
For me it was
kind of easy, right?
00:05:49.28\00:05:51.05
It was kind of easy to
ask, I looked at her, you know,
00:05:51.08\00:05:53.58
we've been together for
so long that, obviously,
00:05:53.62\00:05:57.55
we just grown to love each other
00:05:57.59\00:05:59.35
more and more all the time.
00:05:59.39\00:06:00.72
Okay. That's fair, that's fair.
00:06:00.76\00:06:02.09
Mike, how about you, man?
00:06:02.12\00:06:03.46
Yo, my stuff is
like so surface...
00:06:03.49\00:06:04.89
Compared to
what you just said...
00:06:04.93\00:06:08.00
Yeah, I'm thinking about like,
I got to be able to run my hand
00:06:08.03\00:06:11.17
through your hair
without you getting like...
00:06:11.20\00:06:12.93
Oh, boy!
00:06:12.97\00:06:14.30
You know, I'll stand off
and stuff like that, it's like,
00:06:14.34\00:06:16.00
"What are you talking about?"
00:06:16.04\00:06:17.37
I want to touch
your hair, you know...
00:06:17.41\00:06:18.74
Sure, sure.
00:06:18.77\00:06:20.11
So I had to have
stuff like that from breath
00:06:20.14\00:06:22.08
to actually, man, I was
never the type to feel a female
00:06:22.11\00:06:26.92
who was scantily clad.
00:06:26.95\00:06:28.38
Okay, okay. You
know what I'm saying?
00:06:28.42\00:06:30.52
So you're dress
game had to be classy.
00:06:30.55\00:06:32.79
Sure. So those are some of mine.
00:06:32.82\00:06:34.16
Okay.
00:06:34.19\00:06:35.52
Like I said
surface compared to...
00:06:35.56\00:06:37.69
I'm kind of getting there
00:06:37.73\00:06:39.06
that guys probably are little
more picky than girls are.
00:06:39.09\00:06:41.76
Let me ask this
other question too,
00:06:41.80\00:06:43.30
man, there is one of
things that I used to hate
00:06:43.33\00:06:44.73
but, have you ever had a girl
00:06:44.77\00:06:46.30
that has tried to
change you over time?
00:06:46.33\00:06:48.74
Oh, mercy.
00:06:48.77\00:06:50.11
I mean, ever tried
to like change you.
00:06:50.14\00:06:51.47
Absolutely.
00:06:51.51\00:06:52.84
Like make you into
somebody else that you're not.
00:06:52.87\00:06:54.21
Absolutely, absolutely,
and not even over time,
00:06:54.24\00:06:55.74
I had a girl
telling me one time,
00:06:55.78\00:06:57.11
we were not even really
dating, we just kind of talking.
00:06:57.15\00:06:59.31
You know, we hadn't really
gone there yet and she said,
00:06:59.35\00:07:01.82
"We got to do
something about your diet."
00:07:01.85\00:07:03.18
My diet?
00:07:03.22\00:07:04.55
What do you mean we got to
do something about my diet,
00:07:04.59\00:07:05.92
I mean, you know
what I want to eat?
00:07:05.95\00:07:07.29
Oh, wow.
00:07:07.32\00:07:08.66
And two days later,
"You know, those jeans,
00:07:08.69\00:07:10.03
I don't know if they really
fit you if I like the way,
00:07:10.06\00:07:11.46
maybe you want to
wear some different jeans."
00:07:11.49\00:07:13.03
I'm like, "Listen,
man, you need to fall back."
00:07:13.06\00:07:16.10
What if I like? Yeah.
00:07:16.13\00:07:17.47
You know, but it was the
worst, man, it came across too,
00:07:17.50\00:07:20.10
like she was
being real aggressive.
00:07:20.14\00:07:21.54
You know, so I kind
of had to let it go man,
00:07:21.57\00:07:22.90
I had to let it go.
00:07:22.94\00:07:24.27
So is that something
that we brothers don't feel,
00:07:24.31\00:07:26.41
aggression in that way?
00:07:26.44\00:07:28.51
When we talk about
like what women want,
00:07:28.54\00:07:29.88
do they just want control,
are we saying that to where,
00:07:29.91\00:07:32.88
that is too
overt, and you're like
00:07:32.91\00:07:35.28
"Yo, ex them off the list."
00:07:35.32\00:07:37.32
Yeah, I don't like
people trying to change me,
00:07:37.35\00:07:38.79
I'll just be honest with you,
00:07:38.82\00:07:40.16
I am who I am, you
know, it is whatever.
00:07:40.19\00:07:42.06
However, I will say this,
00:07:42.09\00:07:43.76
man, when I got married,
fell in love with my wife.
00:07:43.79\00:07:46.26
Man, when she began to say,
00:07:46.29\00:07:47.86
you know, "John,
you're kind of junkie.
00:07:47.90\00:07:49.23
You're kind of messy."
00:07:49.26\00:07:50.60
You know, and try to change me,
00:07:50.63\00:07:51.97
you know, clean up the
house better around me,
00:07:52.00\00:07:53.34
tell me I need to do
this, you know, I defer to her.
00:07:53.37\00:07:55.04
I don't know why, I guess
because I loved her so much,
00:07:55.07\00:07:57.71
I respected her that all
of that began to change it.
00:07:57.74\00:07:59.77
I wanted to change for her.
00:07:59.81\00:08:01.14
I don't know, did
you feel that, man?
00:08:01.18\00:08:02.71
No, I do not like
to be told what to do.
00:08:02.74\00:08:07.05
Not even by your
wife? No, no, no.
00:08:07.08\00:08:11.55
I'm a man. No, I'm a man.
00:08:11.59\00:08:12.92
Okay, I got you, I got you.
00:08:12.95\00:08:14.29
I'm going to do,
I'm going to make sure
00:08:14.32\00:08:15.66
that I'm responsible to take,
00:08:15.69\00:08:17.19
you know, my job seriously
as a husband, as a father...
00:08:17.23\00:08:19.09
Sure. But don't hover me, right?
00:08:19.13\00:08:21.96
You don't have to tell
me to take out the trash.
00:08:22.00\00:08:23.77
I'm going to get
the job done. Sure.
00:08:23.80\00:08:25.20
So don't come hovering over me.
00:08:25.23\00:08:26.77
Oh, boy. I'm the man.
00:08:26.80\00:08:28.14
I'm going to get the job done.
00:08:28.17\00:08:29.77
You know what's the worst?
00:08:29.80\00:08:31.14
When they hover
and form questions.
00:08:31.17\00:08:32.54
Yeah. So did you get that...
00:08:32.57\00:08:35.28
Or "Babe, would
you mind next time
00:08:35.31\00:08:39.11
if you just do this
a little differently?"
00:08:39.15\00:08:40.82
Like, man, no, I'm not going to
do it differently, let me live.
00:08:40.85\00:08:43.39
Yo, honestly, one thing
that I really hate, man,
00:08:43.42\00:08:45.35
is that girls be like,
00:08:45.39\00:08:46.72
I don't know if you
guys ever had this before.
00:08:46.76\00:08:48.09
Ask a girl, you know,
"What do you want to eat?"
00:08:48.12\00:08:49.82
"I don't know." Right.
00:08:49.86\00:08:51.19
Then you take her to a
place and they're like,
00:08:51.23\00:08:52.56
"You took me to
the wrong place."
00:08:52.59\00:08:53.93
Well, you didn't
tell me what you...
00:08:53.96\00:08:55.30
Like how am I wrong for
that, you know what I'm saying?
00:08:55.33\00:08:56.67
"Why did you take me here?"
00:08:56.70\00:08:58.03
So it is like, you never know
what a girl is thinking, man.
00:08:58.07\00:09:00.07
God only knows what's going on
00:09:00.10\00:09:01.44
inside a mind of a woman, right?
00:09:01.47\00:09:03.71
But anyway, yo,
let me move to this,
00:09:03.74\00:09:05.57
let me ask you
guys this question.
00:09:05.61\00:09:06.94
How do you feel
about being chased?
00:09:06.98\00:09:09.68
Chased by a woman.
00:09:09.71\00:09:11.05
Is that a turn off
or turn on for you...
00:09:11.08\00:09:12.68
Let me say that,
let me jump in...
00:09:12.71\00:09:14.15
So, I think we begin
this eight grade, right.
00:09:14.18\00:09:16.35
Eight grade, who is that,
00:09:16.38\00:09:18.65
just get a ring,
right, just get a ring,
00:09:18.69\00:09:20.02
and my wife, my
girlfriend that time,
00:09:20.06\00:09:22.92
she was the one that pursued me.
00:09:22.96\00:09:24.59
Wow. Right?
00:09:24.63\00:09:25.96
She took my
watch, she took my watch
00:09:25.99\00:09:27.60
and she, you know, she kept it
00:09:27.63\00:09:29.13
and said, "You're not
getting your watch back
00:09:29.16\00:09:31.23
until you give me
your phone number."
00:09:31.27\00:09:32.60
Wow.
00:09:32.63\00:09:33.97
In the eighth grade. Mercy.
00:09:34.00\00:09:35.34
And it was cool then, right?
00:09:35.37\00:09:36.71
It was cool then and I
didn't get my watch back
00:09:36.74\00:09:39.94
until I gave my phone number.
00:09:39.97\00:09:41.58
And every since then, you
know, we've been just like that.
00:09:41.61\00:09:44.88
But now, I look
back on to that, I'm like
00:09:44.91\00:09:46.72
"No one in the world I
would allow that, man."
00:09:46.75\00:09:52.82
Geston, my man, how do you
feel about being chased, man?
00:09:52.85\00:09:56.19
Man... Hunter or hunted?
00:09:56.22\00:09:58.53
I want to be the
hunter. Okay. All right.
00:09:58.56\00:10:00.56
So when girls try to hunt
me, man, it's a turn off for me.
00:10:00.60\00:10:04.80
You know, it's flattering.
00:10:04.83\00:10:06.17
Yeah, I know I'm
handsome, I know I'm cool.
00:10:06.20\00:10:08.17
I know I'm desirable,
but I don't want to be...
00:10:08.20\00:10:11.37
Really? Okay.
00:10:11.41\00:10:12.74
That's why I don't get
what's wrong with this girl?
00:10:12.77\00:10:14.11
I didn't thought anymore.
00:10:14.14\00:10:15.48
Clearly, you know,
I'm a 666, you know...
00:10:15.51\00:10:18.05
You think so. I got you, man.
00:10:18.08\00:10:20.88
Of course, not
ready for the beast yet,
00:10:20.92\00:10:22.25
but it's cool though.
00:10:22.28\00:10:23.62
But I don't like
being hunted, man.
00:10:23.65\00:10:24.99
I want to be the hunter.
00:10:25.02\00:10:26.35
I want to go after what I want.
00:10:26.39\00:10:27.72
But what if this girl is
everything that you want,
00:10:27.76\00:10:30.03
at least
physically, she's beautiful,
00:10:30.06\00:10:31.73
let's just say,
mostly everything,
00:10:31.76\00:10:33.09
she's a complete package.
00:10:33.13\00:10:34.46
If she chases you,
would you deny her?
00:10:34.50\00:10:36.53
No.
00:10:36.56\00:10:38.87
Everything flips on his head.
00:10:38.90\00:10:40.24
Yeah, I guess, I
don't know... All right.
00:10:40.27\00:10:41.64
But I don't like
being chased, man.
00:10:41.67\00:10:43.00
I'd rather be the
hunter, man. I hear you.
00:10:43.04\00:10:44.87
Mike, what about you, man?
00:10:44.91\00:10:46.24
Man, really, I don't, honestly,
00:10:46.27\00:10:48.64
I want a woman who is a
planter not a harvester.
00:10:48.68\00:10:52.95
I don't mind...
00:10:52.98\00:10:54.32
Break that
down, break that down.
00:10:54.35\00:10:55.68
Planting seeds... Okay.
00:10:55.72\00:10:57.05
That includes my
interests... Flirting.
00:10:57.09\00:10:58.42
Exactly, exactly.
00:10:58.45\00:10:59.79
But when after you
trying to harvest me,
00:10:59.82\00:11:01.72
like me in a
matrix or something,
00:11:01.76\00:11:03.26
then I'm just like,
"No, I need another one."
00:11:03.29\00:11:05.83
And okay, all right.
00:11:05.86\00:11:07.20
But, mostly everybody
here likes to chase, right?
00:11:07.23\00:11:09.06
Yeah, yeah. Kory?
00:11:09.10\00:11:10.60
I mean, I like to,
00:11:10.63\00:11:11.97
I mean, I like a
little bit of attention...
00:11:12.00\00:11:13.50
All right.
00:11:13.54\00:11:14.87
I like to know
that I'm worth something
00:11:14.90\00:11:16.24
that they're attracted to me,
00:11:16.27\00:11:17.61
but I want to be the
one who close the deal,
00:11:17.64\00:11:18.97
just like what Mike is saying.
00:11:19.01\00:11:20.34
Okay.
00:11:20.38\00:11:21.71
What about if a
girl is playing games
00:11:21.74\00:11:23.35
and what I mean is
playing hard to get.
00:11:23.38\00:11:26.15
Now you know that
she wants to be with you,
00:11:26.18\00:11:28.52
you know that she likes you,
00:11:28.55\00:11:29.88
but she's just
denying you at every turn,
00:11:29.92\00:11:32.05
turning you down at
every turn, doesn't want to...
00:11:32.09\00:11:34.66
not letting you
make advances towards her
00:11:34.69\00:11:37.29
or anything like that,
how do you feel about that?
00:11:37.33\00:11:38.86
Is that okay, do you
like the cat and mouse game?
00:11:38.89\00:11:40.56
As long as it
doesn't last forever, man.
00:11:40.60\00:11:43.06
Eventually we got to
get to the playoffs, baby.
00:11:43.10\00:11:44.57
Okay, we've read this.
Hearing the whole time.
00:11:44.60\00:11:46.90
I want that ring. Right, right.
00:11:46.94\00:11:49.00
Do you guys agree?
Everybody's good on that?
00:11:49.04\00:11:50.37
Yeah.
00:11:50.41\00:11:51.74
Girls kind of
like Hunger Games, man,
00:11:51.77\00:11:53.11
you know, I meant,
odds ever be in your favor,
00:11:53.14\00:11:54.54
we could play the
games at some point,
00:11:54.58\00:11:57.48
it has to switch though.
00:11:57.51\00:11:58.85
It has to switch,
it has to become legit,
00:11:58.88\00:12:01.12
transparent, vulnerable...
00:12:01.15\00:12:03.42
I'll tell you as a married
man, I like to chase now.
00:12:03.45\00:12:05.69
You like to chase now?
00:12:05.72\00:12:07.06
I don't like her to
chase me as a married man.
00:12:07.09\00:12:11.33
We go back and forth,
00:12:11.36\00:12:12.69
but I'll like her to pursue
me now little bit more or so,
00:12:12.73\00:12:14.30
you know what I'm saying?
00:12:14.33\00:12:15.66
Yeah...
00:12:15.70\00:12:17.03
She's in the mood, you
know, I'm in the mood as well.
00:12:17.07\00:12:18.77
I like that, I
appreciate that now.
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.97
That's cool, man, that's
cool. All right, how about this?
00:12:21.00\00:12:22.84
I was watching this video
00:12:22.87\00:12:24.21
the other day
online, man, this girl...
00:12:24.24\00:12:27.81
They were sitting down.
She got down on one knee.
00:12:27.84\00:12:30.01
That's all.
00:12:30.05\00:12:31.38
Hold on, hold on.
Let me finish, man.
00:12:31.41\00:12:32.75
She got down on one knee,
I mean she opened up the box,
00:12:32.78\00:12:35.98
there was a ring or
wedding band inside...
00:12:36.02\00:12:38.39
And she proposed to
the guy and he said, "Yes."
00:12:38.42\00:12:41.16
How do you guys feel about that?
00:12:41.19\00:12:43.02
Role reversal. Why not?
00:12:43.06\00:12:44.79
Dude, why can't a
girl propose to a guy?
00:12:44.83\00:12:48.06
He said yes.
What's the big deal?
00:12:48.10\00:12:49.53
I feel like that shows
a lack of confidence, man.
00:12:49.56\00:12:51.43
So basically,
what she's saying is,
00:12:51.47\00:12:52.80
"If I don't propose,
you're not going to propose."
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.34
Hold on, lack of
confidence in the woman?
00:12:54.37\00:12:56.00
Yes.
00:12:56.04\00:12:57.37
Yeah, like she feels
like she has to control
00:12:57.41\00:12:59.61
that otherwise it's
not going to happen.
00:12:59.64\00:13:01.58
That's kind of
how that feels to me.
00:13:01.61\00:13:03.11
You know, if you
know I'm a proposed
00:13:03.14\00:13:04.58
and you kind of sit
back and wait on it.
00:13:04.61\00:13:06.51
I know most women
like the build up to it,
00:13:06.55\00:13:08.22
you know, "Oh, I know
he's going to propose,
00:13:08.25\00:13:10.05
I don't know what kind
of ring he's going to get."
00:13:10.09\00:13:11.42
All that good stuff,
she kind of just like,
00:13:11.45\00:13:12.79
"Man, let me propose him before
he goes find somebody else."
00:13:12.82\00:13:15.56
That's kind of
how that feels to me.
00:13:15.59\00:13:16.93
She's insecure or unsure.
Now he used critical words...
00:13:16.96\00:13:19.19
Yes, he did.
00:13:19.23\00:13:20.56
Now I'm scared to say
it again. Yes, he did.
00:13:20.60\00:13:21.93
You said that she
is desperate. Mercy.
00:13:21.96\00:13:23.30
What do you say to
that? Man, just wait.
00:13:23.33\00:13:26.87
Just wait... Yeah...
00:13:26.90\00:13:29.90
You know if you
know he loves you
00:13:29.94\00:13:31.64
and you know he wants
to be with you, just wait.
00:13:31.67\00:13:34.14
You know, that's... Why
would you propose to a man?
00:13:34.18\00:13:37.75
If she likes it, then
she go put a ring on it...
00:13:37.78\00:13:39.31
All right.
00:13:39.35\00:13:41.72
What's a time limit
then, what's the time...
00:13:41.75\00:13:43.72
Hey, listen,
let's just be honest,
00:13:43.75\00:13:45.19
some guys have girls
waiting for a very long time.
00:13:45.22\00:13:47.89
Guys, come on.
00:13:47.92\00:13:49.26
Some guys will date a
girl for 10 and 15 years,
00:13:49.29\00:13:52.86
and they might not ever propose,
00:13:52.89\00:13:54.53
what's the matter
with her jumping the gun
00:13:54.56\00:13:56.50
and saying, "Hey, let's
just get this thing done.
00:13:56.53\00:13:58.50
I know you want to marry me,
you just didn't know it yet."
00:13:58.53\00:14:00.30
All right, two things. Yeah.
00:14:00.34\00:14:01.67
First of all, a female needs
to understand a male psyche.
00:14:01.70\00:14:06.21
Appreciate what
we work for. Okay.
00:14:06.24\00:14:09.08
That is just kind of
like, that's a principle.
00:14:09.11\00:14:11.78
When it comes to masculinity,
we appreciate what we work for.
00:14:11.81\00:14:14.68
The other thing is,
00:14:14.72\00:14:16.05
if you close the garage
on the physical interaction,
00:14:16.08\00:14:20.12
we will commit faster.
00:14:20.16\00:14:22.56
Hold on, hold on, you're
going to break that down.
00:14:22.59\00:14:26.93
What I'm saying is, man,
we don't like ultimatums, man.
00:14:26.96\00:14:29.83
At the end of the day,
you almost feel like a ring
00:14:29.86\00:14:31.67
being put in front
of face is ultimatum.
00:14:31.70\00:14:33.67
You know, you will marry me
or we just going to stop this.
00:14:33.70\00:14:36.34
And I've actually
been in a position
00:14:36.37\00:14:38.47
where I've been
given ultimatums, man,
00:14:38.51\00:14:40.18
you know, I got engaged
to a girl based on ultimatum.
00:14:40.21\00:14:42.38
She told me,
"Listen, no more games.
00:14:42.41\00:14:45.25
We're going to get engaged
00:14:45.28\00:14:46.61
or it's just not
going to happen."
00:14:46.65\00:14:47.98
All right. And we did.
00:14:48.02\00:14:49.35
We went to
one-hour counseling session
00:14:49.38\00:14:50.89
and three months
later, we were broken up
00:14:50.92\00:14:52.32
because I felt like
I can't marry somebody
00:14:52.35\00:14:54.89
who put me in a kind of position
00:14:54.92\00:14:56.26
to make me choose,
I want to go after.
00:14:56.29\00:14:57.96
I want to get it.
00:14:57.99\00:14:59.33
I want to be the one that,
you know, that did the work.
00:14:59.36\00:15:01.20
Wow. Right.
00:15:01.23\00:15:02.56
Okay, so let me ask, I
got to pull this to Will, man.
00:15:02.60\00:15:04.93
Yeah. Real quick, help us now.
00:15:04.97\00:15:06.50
You've been dating your
wife since eighth grade.
00:15:06.53\00:15:08.84
That's what you said, right?
Eighth grade, eighth grade.
00:15:08.87\00:15:10.37
Man, I know you love her. Yeah.
00:15:10.41\00:15:11.74
I mean, you know,
you care for here,
00:15:11.77\00:15:13.11
clearly you
wanted to be with her,
00:15:13.14\00:15:14.64
what would have
been the problem, man,
00:15:14.68\00:15:16.01
if she had proposed to you?
00:15:16.04\00:15:17.38
You were dating here
for a long time anyway.
00:15:17.41\00:15:18.75
No, no, no.
00:15:18.78\00:15:20.12
Dating for long
time, but as a man...
00:15:20.15\00:15:22.18
Like Mike said, the
man's psyche is critical.
00:15:22.22\00:15:25.92
We're hunters by nature. Right.
00:15:25.95\00:15:27.89
You know, we don't want to,
you know, reverse the role...
00:15:27.92\00:15:32.09
You know, that is
the man's role, you know,
00:15:32.13\00:15:34.33
I won't be stereotypical,
00:15:34.36\00:15:35.70
but that's the man's role to
be able to come to the woman,
00:15:35.73\00:15:37.87
you know, just like
Adam with Eve, so to speak.
00:15:37.90\00:15:39.70
You know, guy
brought Eve to Adam,
00:15:39.73\00:15:42.10
but Adam was the man.
00:15:42.14\00:15:43.64
You know, God put Adam
in charge of the garden.
00:15:43.67\00:15:46.37
Adam and Eve really, but Adam,
you know, He call Adam's name,
00:15:46.41\00:15:49.11
"Where are you?"
00:15:49.14\00:15:50.48
And that's our
psyche, man, to be the man,
00:15:50.51\00:15:52.68
to be the
progenitor, so to speak,
00:15:52.71\00:15:54.92
to be man that will
stand up and protect.
00:15:54.95\00:15:57.95
I don't want my wife, let's say,
00:15:57.99\00:15:59.39
to come running to protect
me, you know what I'm saying?
00:15:59.42\00:16:01.76
When burglar
comes in, you know...
00:16:01.79\00:16:03.29
She jumps in front
of the bullet for you.
00:16:03.32\00:16:04.66
Yeah, yeah. I kill the spiders.
00:16:04.69\00:16:06.23
Right. I got you.
00:16:06.26\00:16:07.60
You know, I do all
that kind of stuff...
00:16:07.63\00:16:08.96
Because really that's
how I'm built as a man.
00:16:09.00\00:16:11.83
Yo, can I follow up
on the physical aspect?
00:16:11.87\00:16:13.20
Yeah, go ahead, man.
00:16:13.23\00:16:14.77
I think my sisters out there,
they've just got to recognize,
00:16:14.80\00:16:18.34
one of my major motivations
00:16:18.37\00:16:21.81
when it comes to
committing to you
00:16:21.84\00:16:23.28
for a lifetime is the physical.
00:16:23.31\00:16:26.75
It's the physical,
experiencing you in that way,
00:16:26.78\00:16:29.52
so if you give me access
00:16:29.55\00:16:31.75
to that previous
to my commitment...
00:16:31.79\00:16:34.06
Wow, man.
00:16:34.09\00:16:35.42
Then where's urgency? Right.
00:16:35.46\00:16:36.79
I don't have any
urgency. Right, right.
00:16:36.83\00:16:38.63
And so I don't think a
lot of sisters know that.
00:16:38.66\00:16:41.50
If you're getting the
free milk, why buy the cow?
00:16:41.53\00:16:47.50
Yeah, I've heard
that before, man.
00:16:47.54\00:16:48.87
I'm glad it's just guys
in the room for that one.
00:16:48.90\00:16:50.24
We'll check this up...
00:16:50.27\00:16:52.47
So you guys, man, you only
appreciate what you work for.
00:16:52.51\00:16:56.08
Absolutely. Yeah, absolutely.
00:16:56.11\00:16:57.55
So how can we let our
women know, our females,
00:16:57.58\00:17:01.15
how do we let them
know this timely truth, man?
00:17:01.18\00:17:04.15
What's going on
in our society, man?
00:17:04.19\00:17:05.52
It's a tough balance. Yeah.
00:17:05.55\00:17:06.89
It's this balance
between keeping me entreat
00:17:06.92\00:17:10.49
and letting me pursue.
00:17:10.53\00:17:11.86
Yeah. All right.
00:17:11.89\00:17:13.23
And I think that
balance is tenuous,
00:17:13.26\00:17:15.40
and there's a
lot of tension there
00:17:15.43\00:17:17.03
and I don't want to be in
my sister's position at all
00:17:17.07\00:17:20.30
because of that
balance, it's tough.
00:17:20.34\00:17:21.84
But somehow you have
to strike this balance
00:17:21.87\00:17:23.94
in between making me want
more and continue my pursuit.
00:17:23.97\00:17:28.04
But yet, not flipping the role
00:17:28.08\00:17:29.88
to where now you're pursuing me.
00:17:29.91\00:17:31.25
Okay, but that's a good point.
00:17:31.28\00:17:32.61
I heard what you
said, making me want more.
00:17:32.65\00:17:34.35
I see a lot of girls
and women on social media
00:17:34.38\00:17:37.92
in a sense making you want more.
00:17:37.95\00:17:39.89
I mean, we see girls that
go into the bathroom, you know,
00:17:39.92\00:17:42.32
they find the perfect
lighting for their selfie shot
00:17:42.36\00:17:45.53
or what not,
they snap the picture,
00:17:45.56\00:17:47.23
and sometimes, you
know, they show a little skin,
00:17:47.26\00:17:49.53
they show a little
cleavage or whatever,
00:17:49.56\00:17:51.83
and guys start
to comment on that.
00:17:51.87\00:17:53.64
And a lot of girls get
the sense that, you know what?
00:17:53.67\00:17:55.50
That's the way to get a
man, why is that the wrong way?
00:17:55.54\00:17:59.01
You said they should
entice us a little bit...
00:17:59.04\00:18:00.98
What he's saying is
entice him. Okay, okay.
00:18:01.01\00:18:02.81
Let's make him want her more,
00:18:02.84\00:18:04.31
not make the
world want her more.
00:18:04.35\00:18:07.18
I don't want to be
unwrapping the present
00:18:07.22\00:18:09.22
on my wedding night
knowing that all, kind of,
00:18:09.25\00:18:11.99
everybody else are seeing
what's under the wrapping.
00:18:12.02\00:18:14.96
You know what I'm saying? Yeah.
00:18:14.99\00:18:16.32
Make me want it more,
00:18:16.36\00:18:17.73
I'm not saying text
me any crazy pictures.
00:18:17.76\00:18:20.66
But what we're
saying is entice me
00:18:20.70\00:18:22.23
in other ways
with your character,
00:18:22.26\00:18:23.73
with your personality,
00:18:23.77\00:18:25.10
you know, I don't need to
see too much cleavage though.
00:18:25.13\00:18:27.80
Got you. I
don't need that thing.
00:18:27.84\00:18:29.17
Now just stop me, man,
00:18:29.20\00:18:30.54
I know that you're a
social media junkie, man.
00:18:30.57\00:18:32.24
I see you on there all the time.
00:18:32.27\00:18:33.71
What do you see from
our women nowadays online,
00:18:33.74\00:18:35.84
what are they doing?
00:18:35.88\00:18:37.21
Man, they are posting
thirst traps with scripture...
00:18:37.25\00:18:43.15
Define thirst traps, man.
Dude, like the scriptures...
00:18:43.18\00:18:46.45
Dude, you're like, okay,
you're front of a mirror...
00:18:46.49\00:18:48.99
Your cleavage is intact,
00:18:49.02\00:18:50.76
you know, it's
showing, revealing,
00:18:50.79\00:18:52.69
and there's like a scripture,
00:18:52.73\00:18:54.10
"I will praise the
Lord for I am fearfully
00:18:54.13\00:18:55.46
and wonderfully made.
00:18:55.50\00:18:56.83
Happy Sabbath, Sabbath selfie."
00:18:56.87\00:18:58.83
Really? Right, it doesn't match.
00:18:58.87\00:19:00.40
So you're trying to entice me
00:19:00.44\00:19:01.77
with your
sexuality and spirituality?
00:19:01.80\00:19:04.31
You know, so it's kind of
a mixed message being sent,
00:19:04.34\00:19:07.01
you know, that if a guy
knows that I love the Lord
00:19:07.04\00:19:09.91
but that I'm still attractive
and I show him a little bit,
00:19:09.94\00:19:12.61
he may want me.
00:19:12.65\00:19:13.98
You know, so I don't know maybe
it's about the numbers game,
00:19:14.02\00:19:16.05
they know there's a
shortage in available man
00:19:16.08\00:19:18.55
and so they feel
the need to outdo
00:19:18.59\00:19:19.92
each other on social media.
00:19:19.95\00:19:21.29
Right. I don't know.
00:19:21.32\00:19:22.66
Maybe. What is it?
00:19:22.69\00:19:24.03
Now that's a really big point,
00:19:24.06\00:19:25.39
I've heard a lot of girls
say that there are no good men,
00:19:25.43\00:19:26.76
and you check this out,
00:19:26.80\00:19:28.13
there are no good
men even in the church.
00:19:28.16\00:19:30.50
Do you agree with
that, there's just no man?
00:19:30.53\00:19:32.50
I mean, you said
earlier, Kory, that,
00:19:32.53\00:19:34.44
you know, we outnumber them
or they outnumber us rather,
00:19:34.47\00:19:37.41
so help me understand that.
00:19:37.44\00:19:38.81
I can speak from
the church I attend,
00:19:38.84\00:19:41.48
we had no young
men in our church,
00:19:41.51\00:19:43.21
it's like all women.
00:19:43.24\00:19:44.58
It had to be
maybe 80/20, you know,
00:19:44.61\00:19:46.58
and all of the men that
were there all married men.
00:19:46.61\00:19:49.78
Some of the young ladies
I know, if they go and date,
00:19:49.82\00:19:52.19
they have to date
outside the church, you know,
00:19:52.22\00:19:54.22
and so you kind of just got
to pray that the guy they met,
00:19:54.26\00:19:57.23
they didn't meet
at the club, you know,
00:19:57.26\00:19:58.63
maybe they met
him at a shopping mall
00:19:58.66\00:20:00.56
or something like that,
00:20:00.60\00:20:01.93
but the numbers, man,
that is not in a woman's favor,
00:20:01.96\00:20:04.00
man, it's not.
00:20:04.03\00:20:05.37
But I don't
think that's an excuse,
00:20:05.40\00:20:07.00
you know, to
lower your standards
00:20:07.04\00:20:09.04
or to show yourself to be
something you're really not,
00:20:09.07\00:20:11.47
you know, I don't think so.
00:20:11.51\00:20:12.84
Right, and, Mike, I
know you're a chaplain,
00:20:12.87\00:20:14.78
you know, at a
major school, man,
00:20:14.81\00:20:16.44
and you see guys and girls
interacting all the time, man.
00:20:16.48\00:20:20.05
What do you see?
What's going on there?
00:20:20.08\00:20:21.42
What's happening?
How is it working?
00:20:21.45\00:20:23.72
Well, man, you know, I've tried
00:20:23.75\00:20:25.89
to edit my
language a little bit,
00:20:25.92\00:20:27.39
like previous to this
position I would easily say,
00:20:27.42\00:20:30.13
"Yo, my sister, you need to find
00:20:30.16\00:20:31.49
a dude who's in church."
00:20:31.53\00:20:32.96
Okay, okay.
00:20:32.99\00:20:34.33
But for example,
we're on a campus
00:20:34.36\00:20:35.70
where the ratio
is like three to one.
00:20:35.73\00:20:38.13
Three women to one man,
00:20:38.17\00:20:39.50
so if all women gear
into their own church
00:20:39.53\00:20:42.90
or even other churches,
00:20:42.94\00:20:44.74
they so outnumber the men
00:20:44.77\00:20:46.98
that that becomes
impractical at some level.
00:20:47.01\00:20:48.91
No competition.
00:20:48.94\00:20:50.28
So I've been trying to
figure out what's the principle
00:20:50.31\00:20:52.18
to give instead of
this blanket statistic,
00:20:52.21\00:20:56.08
this overarching statement,
"Find a man in church."
00:20:56.12\00:20:59.15
What if they're not in
church? What do I do now?
00:20:59.19\00:21:01.26
So I'm still trying to
wrestle with that thing, man.
00:21:01.29\00:21:03.06
Okay. All
right, all right, good.
00:21:03.09\00:21:04.56
Now, Kory, I got to
come back to you, man,
00:21:04.59\00:21:05.93
'cause I know you have
a little baby girl, man,
00:21:05.96\00:21:08.33
and I hate to bring that
here, but I have to, man.
00:21:08.36\00:21:10.00
You're a brand new father,
you've got a little baby girl.
00:21:10.03\00:21:12.60
Man, what do you want her
desires to be for another man
00:21:12.63\00:21:16.64
as she grows up?
00:21:16.67\00:21:18.01
First of all, I'm not
trying to deal with this
00:21:18.04\00:21:19.37
for a full of 18 years.
00:21:19.41\00:21:23.55
You know, but at
the end of the day, man,
00:21:23.58\00:21:25.31
I think that my
objective is to be the best man
00:21:25.35\00:21:28.65
I could be to my daughter
00:21:28.68\00:21:30.09
so that she looks for
somebody hopefully like me.
00:21:30.12\00:21:32.65
You know, I know my
wife always jokes around,
00:21:32.69\00:21:35.46
and this is just
all God's grace, man,
00:21:35.49\00:21:37.59
she always jokes
around, I'm just like her dad.
00:21:37.63\00:21:40.76
You know, the same
kind of mannerisms,
00:21:40.80\00:21:42.53
same kind of spirituality,
00:21:42.56\00:21:44.00
I mean, the same
thing he would just drop it
00:21:44.03\00:21:46.40
I had prayed for, I
would too, you know.
00:21:46.43\00:21:48.44
And so that's...
00:21:48.47\00:21:49.80
She didn't go out
looking for it, you know,
00:21:49.84\00:21:51.17
God kind of brought us together
and it turned out that way.
00:21:51.21\00:21:53.11
But I want when my
little girl, my Lord, my Lord,
00:21:53.14\00:21:56.48
I want my little
girl to meet the right guy
00:21:56.51\00:22:00.18
for her to see
some of me in that guy.
00:22:00.22\00:22:02.98
And not just me but of
course, you know, God in me,
00:22:03.02\00:22:05.39
you know, me
having been courteous,
00:22:05.42\00:22:07.16
me having been respectful,
00:22:07.19\00:22:08.56
me having given
her some kind of value,
00:22:08.59\00:22:11.16
you know, so that she didn't
have to be on social media,
00:22:11.19\00:22:13.83
she better not
be on social media
00:22:13.86\00:22:15.40
showing off herself to the world
00:22:15.43\00:22:17.10
'cause I will find a way
to hack it and shut it down.
00:22:17.13\00:22:18.70
Yeah.
00:22:18.73\00:22:20.07
What I'm saying is, I want to be
00:22:20.10\00:22:21.47
want to set the example
for what she sees in a man,
00:22:21.50\00:22:23.94
and even how she pursues,
00:22:23.97\00:22:25.31
she ought to see me pursuing
her mom on a daily basis,
00:22:25.34\00:22:28.14
the same way you
said about dating,
00:22:28.18\00:22:29.88
my little girl ought
to see me dating her mom,
00:22:29.91\00:22:32.18
and I ought to
date my little girl too.
00:22:32.21\00:22:34.05
You know I'd take her on dates,
00:22:34.08\00:22:35.42
we go Legoland or
wherever we need to go.
00:22:35.45\00:22:37.62
You know, but she
ought to know that
00:22:37.65\00:22:38.99
there's a way to be
treated, a way to be valued.
00:22:39.02\00:22:41.52
Right. Absolutely.
00:22:41.56\00:22:42.89
Will, I got to
give this to you, man,
00:22:42.92\00:22:44.26
'cause I know you've
been married for a long time
00:22:44.29\00:22:45.63
and you're a pastor.
00:22:45.66\00:22:47.00
I know you love God and
you've got two little boys.
00:22:47.03\00:22:48.56
Man, how are you training
them to interact with women
00:22:48.60\00:22:51.40
in any way or are you right now?
00:22:51.43\00:22:53.03
Yeah, I am.
00:22:53.07\00:22:54.40
I'm doing it consciously
00:22:54.44\00:22:55.77
and subconsciously
for them as well, right?
00:22:55.80\00:22:57.24
Because my wife and I
are together in the house,
00:22:57.27\00:22:59.44
you know, my kids love this,
00:22:59.47\00:23:00.94
this one's in my nine-year-old,
00:23:00.98\00:23:02.31
he loves it when I hug
my wife and give her a kiss.
00:23:02.34\00:23:05.11
Wow. I mean he's always...
00:23:05.15\00:23:06.48
What he does is when
I do it publicly, right,
00:23:06.51\00:23:08.68
and I do in front
of them on purpose.
00:23:08.72\00:23:10.35
So when I do it, right, my
kids are always like that...
00:23:10.39\00:23:12.49
You know, they're cracking
out, they falling out, whatever.
00:23:15.82\00:23:18.39
What I realized though
that is in bringing them
00:23:18.43\00:23:20.33
a sense of security though.
00:23:20.36\00:23:22.10
That is like Daddy loves Mommy.
00:23:22.13\00:23:24.13
Wow.
00:23:24.17\00:23:25.50
And Mommy loves Daddy.
00:23:25.53\00:23:27.47
So for them, even
though they're laughing in
00:23:27.50\00:23:29.64
and cutting up,
and having a good time,
00:23:29.67\00:23:31.24
it's like, there's a sense of...
00:23:31.27\00:23:34.14
There's a good
union in the house.
00:23:34.18\00:23:36.18
It's like, I do
it, I touch here,
00:23:36.21\00:23:37.55
you know, very gently...
00:23:37.58\00:23:39.05
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:23:39.08\00:23:40.58
You know, we play with
each other all the time
00:23:40.62\00:23:42.15
and my kids love that.
00:23:42.18\00:23:43.52
You're training
them. Absolutely.
00:23:43.55\00:23:44.89
I want them to
recognize that, listen,
00:23:44.92\00:23:46.79
and we don't yell at each other,
00:23:46.82\00:23:48.26
you know, that is publicly,
you know what I'm saying?
00:23:48.29\00:23:50.69
We won't argue, you
know, what I'm saying?
00:23:50.73\00:23:52.86
In front of our kids, if
we disagree with something,
00:23:52.89\00:23:54.83
you know, we are very
calm and well-mannered
00:23:54.86\00:23:56.30
because I don't
want my kids to anything
00:23:56.33\00:23:58.50
contrary from their father.
00:23:58.53\00:24:00.64
Well, let's talk about God, man.
00:24:00.67\00:24:02.00
We're all Christians
here, we believe in God,
00:24:02.04\00:24:03.47
we believe in the Bible.
00:24:03.51\00:24:04.84
Man, I remember that
story of Boaz and Ruth.
00:24:04.87\00:24:08.21
You guys
remember that story, man?
00:24:08.24\00:24:10.05
What made Boaz, man,
so attractive to Ruth
00:24:10.08\00:24:13.82
that she was in a
sense pursuing him,
00:24:13.85\00:24:17.12
but hold on, hold on,
00:24:17.15\00:24:19.32
but ultimately, he's
the one who made the choice,
00:24:19.35\00:24:21.79
what was the situation
there, what was going on?
00:24:21.82\00:24:23.73
Resources. Resources.
00:24:23.76\00:24:25.53
I mean, she is attracted
to the CEO of the company
00:24:25.56\00:24:31.80
she works for, pretty much...
00:24:31.83\00:24:33.30
A six-figure salary. Yes.
00:24:33.34\00:24:34.67
Okay, okay. All right.
00:24:34.70\00:24:36.04
And that's why I think,
00:24:36.07\00:24:37.41
we're sometimes
too hard on our ladies
00:24:37.44\00:24:38.87
when it comes to this
whole gold digger phenomenon,
00:24:38.91\00:24:40.91
like she's only
here for my resources.
00:24:40.94\00:24:43.38
Now, yes, that's an extreme,
00:24:43.41\00:24:44.85
but yeah, I think we should
have some resources to offer.
00:24:44.88\00:24:48.08
I think she should be
able to look at us and say,
00:24:48.12\00:24:49.85
"Man, he can care for me.
00:24:49.88\00:24:51.55
He can hold me down."
00:24:51.59\00:24:52.92
Anything else about
Boaz we see in that story?
00:24:52.95\00:24:55.49
He's a leader.
And girls like that.
00:24:55.52\00:24:58.16
A woman needs
somebody they can follow, man.
00:24:58.19\00:24:59.86
I know my wife told me
that a lot of times, man.
00:24:59.89\00:25:01.70
You know, as long as, you know,
your idea is not too crazy,
00:25:01.73\00:25:04.27
you know, I
want to be able to be
00:25:04.30\00:25:05.70
with a man that I can support.
00:25:05.73\00:25:07.60
You know, someone I
can follow into battle,
00:25:07.64\00:25:09.34
somebody who I knows
will make good decisions,
00:25:09.37\00:25:11.57
financially, you know,
economically for my family.
00:25:11.61\00:25:14.04
So I think him being a leader
00:25:14.08\00:25:15.68
might have been
attractive as well.
00:25:15.71\00:25:17.05
Okay. All right, all right.
00:25:17.08\00:25:18.41
Well, check this out now, man,
what about the first couple,
00:25:18.45\00:25:20.65
Adam and Eve?
00:25:20.68\00:25:22.02
Real quick.
00:25:22.05\00:25:23.39
When God brought Eve,
what did Adam say about her?
00:25:23.42\00:25:29.86
Flesh in my flesh!
00:25:29.89\00:25:31.23
She is flesh in my flesh.
00:25:31.26\00:25:32.59
Yep, man,
00:25:32.63\00:25:33.96
Yeah, man, so he loved her, man.
00:25:34.00\00:25:35.33
He loved here.
00:25:35.36\00:25:36.70
But at the same time,
yo, Eve kind of went astray
00:25:36.73\00:25:39.33
and she was
separated from her husband,
00:25:39.37\00:25:41.54
what's going on
in that story, man,
00:25:41.57\00:25:43.20
what points or principles
00:25:43.24\00:25:45.24
can we take away for
relationships nowadays?
00:25:45.27\00:25:48.98
Stick by your man.
00:25:49.01\00:25:51.28
Okay, all right.
00:25:51.31\00:25:52.65
Adam was somewhere
in the garden, right?
00:25:52.68\00:25:54.08
He was somewhere and the devil
came in when they separated.
00:25:54.12\00:25:57.35
So I think a good principle
is to by all means, man,
00:25:57.39\00:25:59.52
stay close,
00:25:59.55\00:26:01.49
don't allow that
separation to come in.
00:26:01.52\00:26:04.03
Last question for you, guys,
00:26:04.06\00:26:05.39
man, I got a close
the shop in a minute.
00:26:05.43\00:26:06.76
But I really want to know,
00:26:06.80\00:26:08.13
do you think girls are
attracted to a godly man
00:26:08.16\00:26:10.43
and I mean any
girl in the world?
00:26:10.47\00:26:12.17
Are most girls attracted
to a godly man, and why?
00:26:12.20\00:26:15.57
I think so, some may
not be rightly attracted
00:26:15.60\00:26:17.77
to a godly man or, you know...
00:26:17.81\00:26:19.27
What do you mean?
00:26:19.31\00:26:20.64
I would say speaking from
the preacher's standpoint,
00:26:20.68\00:26:22.34
you just kind of attract,
00:26:22.38\00:26:23.71
you just kind of
kind of attract everybody,
00:26:23.75\00:26:25.31
but I do think
that it's attractive.
00:26:25.35\00:26:27.82
As human beings, I
believe that God made us
00:26:27.85\00:26:30.22
with a desire to desire Him
00:26:30.25\00:26:33.15
and I think that when,
you know, when God is in you,
00:26:33.19\00:26:35.26
He's in your life, I
think that attracts women.
00:26:35.29\00:26:37.03
I really think so,
00:26:37.06\00:26:38.39
I think it can kind of
fill that void, you know.
00:26:38.43\00:26:40.40
Well, that's a
very good point, man.
00:26:40.43\00:26:41.76
Man, listen, I
got to close the shop.
00:26:41.80\00:26:43.13
I love you, guys, man.
Thanks for the conversation.
00:26:43.16\00:26:45.27
Man, I also want
to let you guys know
00:26:45.30\00:26:46.80
that I think that we
should teach our young men
00:26:46.84\00:26:49.27
to emulate the
characteristics of God.
00:26:49.30\00:26:51.84
So with that, man,
I appreciate you guys.
00:26:51.87\00:26:53.48
See you next time
in shop. Cool man.
00:26:53.51\00:26:55.38
Thanks for the cut. Yeah, man.
00:26:55.41\00:26:58.75
Wow, I mean,
today's conversation
00:26:58.78\00:27:01.08
was literally amazing.
00:27:01.12\00:27:03.59
This is why I love
opening up the barbershop
00:27:03.62\00:27:05.95
because we always get
the real deal on everything
00:27:05.99\00:27:08.59
guys are thinking about.
00:27:08.62\00:27:09.96
And today, we got the
real deal on relationships.
00:27:09.99\00:27:12.69
Now, okay, honestly, no
man truly knows everything
00:27:12.73\00:27:16.20
about what a woman wants.
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.30
That is a mystery
that God has not seen fit
00:27:18.33\00:27:20.40
to reveal to us, guys.
00:27:20.44\00:27:22.27
And maybe that's
for a good reason.
00:27:22.30\00:27:24.31
Let's be honest,
00:27:24.34\00:27:27.34
if you knew what
every woman wanted from you,
00:27:27.38\00:27:28.71
you would change who you are
00:27:28.74\00:27:30.18
and stop being
who God created you
00:27:30.21\00:27:32.65
to be to meet her
standard all the time.
00:27:32.68\00:27:35.45
Furthermore, every woman
has different preferences,
00:27:35.48\00:27:39.32
different opinions,
and different desires,
00:27:39.35\00:27:42.52
but I can tell you one thing
that will always make any true,
00:27:42.56\00:27:46.86
true woman happy,
00:27:46.90\00:27:48.50
a man that not only looks
for the approval of women,
00:27:48.53\00:27:51.87
but consistently
seeks the approval of God.
00:27:51.90\00:27:55.10
I want to invite you next time
to join us in the barbershop.
00:27:55.14\00:27:58.04
See you next time.
00:27:58.07\00:27:59.41
