The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
Paul Brunson: Women Need To Lower Their Standards! If They Have These 3 Traits, Never Let Them Go! If You Get Sick, There’s A 624% Chance He’ll Leave!

One of the things we talked about kind of in between the lines was... How society has changed. And one of the ongoing conversations in dating at the moment is around how women are struggling to find compatible men. Because women are more educated. I think there's more women graduating with college degrees now.

The top 10% of men seem to be having all of the sex, according to some studies that I read, a lot of the sex. And then there's this bottom 50% of men that are somewhat disenfranchised because they... They're not getting the attention. They're probably turning to things like pornography. Women are dating up and to the right, I'm told.

So women, I did read a study that said the majority of women are still looking for a man who's earning more than them. But in a world of equality, which we all agree is a good thing, where women are more educated now, there isn't enough men up and to the right anymore. So there's this sort of disparity between what women are looking for, but actually what's available in the market potentially.

These are all facts. However, we have to interpret. We have to interrogate this data, but more so I think we have to interrogate the narrative that's being handed to us. So I feel like the narrative that's being handed us today is that, you know what, the top 20% of men or 10% of men, they're good, but the bottom 80%, you suck. That couldn't be further from the truth.

And I think we have to acknowledge, and this is where two things could be true. One, we live in a patriarchal society, absolutely, absolutely. But do we need to extend more grace? To our men, absolutely, we do. Are men lonelier than they ever have been? Absolutely. Are men confused? Absolutely, right? Are men being misled? Absolutely. Let's extend more grace to our men. What does that mean?
