    As a 25 year old truck driver, this broke me. I spend 95% of my time alone and it is lonely. Jordan has a way of giving advice that touches the heart. Never change, you amazing Lobster!

      On the other end of the spectrum, unless you're lucky or a millionaire, the girl will drag you through mud. Most cheat and will dump you the moment something they think is better comes into their lives. So what's better being lonely or going through heart break like that? You're damned if you do and you're damned if you don't.

      Didn't it "just" break a piece of you.? You are alive, you are here - there is life, there is hope. Luck is (can be) when good preraration lies ahead of a good chance - go prerare your self, to be ready and able, when (if - I'm realistic as fuck) your next chance comes by.

      You will get better man, there's time. Avoid meeting women online like the plague. You will know when you meet the right person, and it'll probably happen when you least expect it. As long as you are a good man, you're getting out into the world and you find a way to love yourself, you won't be alone forever. God bless.

    I've heard people who engage in this behavior say they felt disgusting, uncomfortable and sick to their stomach after engaging sexually with a stranger, without even bothering to ask for their name or connect with them in some sort of level. What Mr. Peterson said about "rejecting" human nature in order to be able to carry out this conduct is absolutely true, you're treating another human being like an object and letting yourself be treated as such as well. That must damage the psyche eventually, no matter how in control of the situation you think you are.

      @Justin Hernandez I'm neither a conservative or a liberal and I don't particularly like how one's thoughts or feeling about a subject are always labeled under these two boxes as to dismiss an argument. That being said, the people I was talking about that engaged in this behavior ARE "liberal", and they said they felt "primitive" and like they'd lost control of their bodies and felt disgusted with themselves after giving in. And I can undersand why, that is all. I'm no one to judge.

    • @killerqueen7489
      @killerqueen7489 3 ปีที่แล้ว +109

      @Justin Hernandez I'm not american, which is why I don't label everything as conservative/liberal. As I said, I'm neither. I personally don't feel comfortable engaging in hook up culture because it would make me feel undervalued as a human being, that is all, for me human connection is important. That being said, I have friends who are active participants in this (some more than others) and I don't judge, belittle or try to push my lifestyle down anyone's throat. I don't particularly think that people with a "liberal mindset" are automatically "smart" because I've seen firsthand what hook up culture has done to them. For some, I believe it is a defense mechanism that comes from a fear of abandonment, fear to commit and fear of being alone. Hooking up doesn't solve those problems, it just emphasizes them.

      @Justin Hernandez You sound hurt. And as if you've adapted these ideas. I believe you believe these ideas and won't be convinced otherwise. And attempt to use "knowledge" to tell everyone else they are wrong with their conflicting opinions. Testosterone levels are high pushing men to find a mate/reproduce in their earlier years. Testosterone lowers with children, likely from more stress but also with aging in general. More of your testoserone is aromatized into estrogen as we age, likely to promote a more nurturing, nesting man. Listen to endocrinologists speak on this. Lol evolutionary psychology sounds like your god. Yet no one wants to be a part of your religion. I'm sorry you were hurt buddy. Don't bother replying, I won't see it

    My friend laughs at me for putting value on the act of sex. She tells me that sex is not a big deal, basically means nothing. I just can't agree with that. Sex to me is not just an empty act. To me it is intimacy, closeness, a way to connect. Ultimately to me it is sharing, giving up a part of myself to the person i love.

    • @LaneLift
      @LaneLift 3 ปีที่แล้ว +252

      Not just "to you." Sex and intimacy cannot be separated, as much as society wants to believe it can be. Every sexual partner carries a piece of us, and we wonder why society and people are so broken, and the divorce rate is basically higher than marriages who make it. Sex is meant for a husband and wife, not BECAUSE certain religions say so. The opposite, certain religions say so BECAUSE it's the truth.

A future with a significant other who may or may not take you for all you have and all you worked for and leave with the kids?? BTW the matriarchy which robs fathers and is enshrined in feeble western law is so ridiculous it is robbing men of any agency and contributing greatly to men's disenfranchisement.. Don't take my word for it, ask any divorced man, there's plenty out there.. As a man, why get married and have kids when the risks are so great?? This is why men are soooo very reluctant to get married and it will continue until family law is radically overhauled..

      @@willpushback4874 I wouldn't disagree with your concerns, but rather than swear off relationships this just means that you have to be honest about what you want, maybe even brutally so. If you're honest about what your looking for and don't give them what they want without something in return (whatever that is) then you'll scare off the women that weren't worth your time anyway. Only the good ones will stick around when you put up standards. It worked for me and I have an awesome wife. As Jordan and Ben say, not perfect, but your relationship's quality is going to oscillate with how you uphold your standards and values that you hold yourself and your partner to.
      But I do agree that courts are heavily in women's favor. However, there are plenty of women that are looking for quality men. So be quality: don't give people something for nothing, promote virtuous loving, and above all be honest about what you want.

To clarify I'm not blindly following religion there are a ton of practical reasons to wait, other than doing what feels good and living impulse to impulse. Risk of STDS is zero if your partner also waits, as a young women heart break is common and not letting your brain go crazy with bonding hormones from sex is a great way to have an objective view of who you are with. And I personally am not ready and would perfer to wait until I am completely comfortable with a person, and by the time I want to spend the rest of my life with them I'm definitely ready.

This is why I hate TV shows like "Friends". Adults acting like immature juveniles going to bed with each other and suffering no consequences of emotional damage from ongoing casual sex , STD's, or pregnancy. Joking about enjoying pornography as if it doesn't color their attitude towards women, or cripples their will to remain loyal to one partner through thick and thin.

And it binds at a very deep level. You can try to suppress that, but it will eventually fail. It's almost like a drug where the only way your emotions tell you to handle it is just have more sex, to keep trying to fill the bucket that has 10 leaks in it.

    I'm 27 years old and a Christian, I've remained in abstinence in my entire life. I've had many opportunities to "lose my virginity" to quite a few women (I don't say that as pride, that means nothing to me, it's just flattering at times). However, I haven't given into that. Because I know if I was to go down that road it would lead to a pit of despair for myself. I know I would always seek it and want it when I'm alone or in my thoughts. It's not just some easy road you stop going down once you've done it. It can consume you and heart tremendously especially if someone doesn't love you and just uses you. I can honestly say I'm thankful in the fact that I've never given myself away because the day I give myself to my wife, I will know no one but her and who is she emotionally, physically and spiritually. I don't think there is nothing more beautiful than that. Because I'll never think of another woman, my heart will belong to her and there is a joy in knowing you heart belongs to someone who you only know and no one else. There's a certain peace to it. That being said, God can deliver anyone from anything and I'm not opposed to marrying someone who isn't a virgin. But for me, I'm just thankful I'll be able to give myself to her and my heart will not be despaired to the level it could be. There is also an excitement in learning how to love someone in that. It'll be a constant journey and one that I believe will be very satisfying in my marriage some day. Our society has taken away any seriousness of sex and I've been often made fun of by men and women for staying this way. But I'd rather be this way than seeing my friends beg or chase their heart out for sex and satisfaction only to lead into despair. This post is way more in-depth and serious but this is all I got for now. And I'm not judging anyone who isn't a virgin or anything in that regard, etc. But the "hook up culture" that we are taught is garbage and destroying people.

      Hey man, 21 years old Catholic here. You summed it all up in a moving way. As abstinence seems like too negative a label to my ears, I would label it chastity, but just to confirm what you say: it's worth living chastely. The hookup culture is painted as way better than it actually is. The pleasure it brings is so artificial as it is flickering and deceptive, and can lead to multiple evils - abandoned children, sexual diseases, abortions.

      @@matheusf.alpoin3489 The problem with the Catholic church's view on chastity is that they make it mandatory for their priests. There is no Biblical or Godly reason to demand that and it has led to terrible consequences in the RCC. Your view of chastity and the hook up culture are spot on, though.

Just because we have technology doesn't mean we still don't fight in wars with each other, that we aren't more lonely despite being more connected over the internet, that we don't need a romantic partner to be able to bear the weights of our lives. And sex, well, maybe it's not necessary to have tens of children like long time ago, when few of them weren't predicted to survive, but it still connects you deeper with a romantic partner. You might argue that sex actually makes you more remote from the person, but that's not true if both of you are essentially friends and romantic with each other as well.

    I currently go to one of the Ivy League schools and live in its dorms. The other day my computer's headset broke, and the dorms here have "thin" walls and you hear a lot of the stuff going on in your dormmate's rooms. Because of this and the fact my headset broke, every time I watch one of the videos from creators I enjoy like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, and others, I put the volume on very low so only I can hear it and none of my dormmates can for fear of them ostracizing me for the content I chose to engage with. It's the same thing while in public, I have one conservative friend, and whenever we discuss politics we are constantly mindful of who is around. It can definitely feel like a mild version of a censoring authoritarian regime. A few years ago I would laugh at someone acting like this and see it as they overreacting, but the climate is changing so fast at my school that this and worse may be the norm surprisingly soon.

      That's actually a quote by Jesus. Peterson has been seeming to take a keen interest in him lately.
      1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted a by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
      4Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ b ”
      5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
      “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,
      and they will lift you up in their hands,
      so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’ c ”
      7Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ d ”
      8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
      10Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’ e ”
      11Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

    People date like it's social media. Just scroll past. I try to tell people not to allow these things to retrain how we interact with others. We as a society have become discontent and unwilling to actually commit. Just scrolling through. It's very consumer-driven and selfish. And people complains. But they filter up on camera so the produce looks good. Like those little produce showers. I told my husband first date: Listen, I'm not doing the short term thing. I need to know if you are looking for a wife. I may not be her, but I need you to treat me and this relationship like I belong to somebody. I promise to do the same.
    We've been married for 16 yes.

    When Huxley wrote about this kind of culture in Brave New World, people were shocked by the brazen emptiness of the characters' lives. And, in our present, far too many of our people now feel so hopeless that the only answer they can find is the same one chosen by Huxley's savage: suicide.

      Huxley was far more right than Orwell was about the dystopian future. How people would be complicit with it, the soma, the emptiness in sex, the consumption for consumption’s sake, the shunning of relationships and the family unit. It’s all there. The one thing Orwell got right though was the mass surveillance.

    I'm a traditional Chinese family girl myself but unwittingly experimented with "casual dating" (did not realize Chinese does not guarantee traditional values). Following this chaotic experience, I've doubled down on my values and will never think to compromise again. Intimacy should be serious.

      @@user-jd4ow9dr1h there's no need to be offended. It's more efficient to say "traditional Chinese values" than the whole spiel: pious/filial yet ambitious for social standing, prioritizing legacy, understanding work and peace over play and passion for building family, fatalistic and superstitious, high connection to fantastical mythology (our zodiac system), high value to wealth and stability, high value of education as greatest investment. Note this is not CCP Chinese, just traditional Chinese. Now, isn't it just easier to say "traditional Chinese" to represent all the former? ;) And, we all use words to represent grander meanings. Traditional tends to be more sustainable because you think long term survival over short term fun. The Words exist, we may as well use them.

      What does that even mean? By working, we're also making ourselves wealthier. So what's the ideal alternative then, being unemployed? While having kids? And a wife that potentially cheats on you as well?
      My biggest fear is that the person I trust the most isn't trying as hard as I am. Who can I trust? But even if I find a person that I can trust, what can I offer? I don't think I have anything to offer. Almost all men out there are better than me.
