Hi, and welcome back to the Carol Markowitz Show on IHeartRadio.

0:09.2

I saw this tweet yesterday from a guy posting what his friend put in their group chat.

0:15.6

The tweet is, one of my friends drew eight-figure net worth, mid-30s, handsome, sharing his feelings in the group chat tonight, trying to reel him back in, but he's got some good points.

0:28.3

Thoughts? And then this is the text in the group chat. The friend writes, I hate talking about TV shows, I hate getting a drink, I hate waiting for them to arrive. I hate getting

0:38.7

canceled on. I hate thinking maybe she's different. I hate wanting to be nice knowing she's

0:44.1

banged a guy who treats her like shit. I hate pretending she has something she can teach me. I hate

0:49.4

holding in my farts when she's over. I hate listening to her political feelings, not her thoughts. I hate having

0:55.6

to make every single move or decision while being judged by someone who has nothing to offer me.

1:00.8

Okay. A lot of the comments to this said that it sounded like the guy just hates women. And maybe

1:07.5

that's true. I want to give him the benefit of the doubt and say it sounds like

1:19.6

and nothing to offer him. If that's true, it's really on him because he's dating the completely

wrong type of woman. For men, they get hung up on looks,

1:30.4

but not just, oh, is she pretty? She has to be beyond pretty. She has to be extremely beautiful,

1:36.8

an eight or above, even if the guy is not an eight himself. So there are going to be sacrifices,

1:42.9

and the sacrifice for a lot of men is they end up dating

1:46.9

these dimmer women who, yes, maybe have nothing to teach them. Again, this is all giving him the

1:53.4

benefit of the doubt that he's not just a raging narcissist. But looks are not the same as attraction,

1:59.6

and what this guy is discovering is that while he may like the way these women look,

2:05.4

he ultimately does not find them attractive.

2:08.8

That's the main takeaway men should have.

2:11.9

Treat looks as part of a package.
