You're seen as this person, you're called their name out on the street. You also constantly have to be that person at work. And I was 20, I was 21, 22, so I didn't have the emotional maturity to understand, to how to differentiate myself, just in terms of self-worth. What people seem to think of Dan seemed to be what people thought of me.
And now I had enough sense, enough intelligence, enough self-worth, enough just, you know, like I wasn't like losing myself. But it bothered me.
Definitely.
Okay so going back to what we said earlier about uh uh That need for intimacy and really wanting a love that transcends the body, truly. I mean, that's what we all want. But never had an approach. I've had a handful of long relationships. And that's about the extent of it. I really did not date. Tried, found it. Not... What's the word? I don't even know. I mean, fulfilling, satisfying.
I don't know. It's just I was not good at what felt like dating is. Dating is a bit of a performance, I think. Right. Isn't it? Like, I mean, it's initially like that's and I think that's just like really stressed me out. I never had an approach. So trying to like, I really longed for that kind of connection, that kind of intimacy.
I think just as anybody else, you know, kind of something that my show, You, has been about, which is like the really toxic misconceptions we have about,
like modern love mythology the way that a relationship should be the way that you should feel um like it does to watch titanic you know what i mean like that like so i so i wanted that and so it's so i also had a very long and difficult relationship in my teen years um that marked me. And I actually remember thinking when I got out of it at 19, I was just like, that was a way to start it all.
Ooh, I wonder what effects it's going to have on me. You know, I wonder, so I, um, but then I found myself in my twenties, three different long-term relationships. The third one was with my wife and it's, you know,
I don't know. The truth is I don't know anything about what it's like actually, but I can only speak as a person who hears about it.
Yeah.
Here's a platform upon which to skewer yourself.
Sure.
Is it ever casual? Show me somebody who really, really, truly is casual about it. I'll wait. I'll wait. Not that they act casual about it. That they feel casual about it. I'll wait. Please, I would like to see it in the comments.
I'm telling you that he doesn't understand the ways in which it is not casual for him either.
about that that whole thing yeah that's sorry so i you know i am sorry to women on that one i can't apologize for men but i'm just saying like that is that is the whole like what is that too like he's just not that into you that whole thing that like what that okay so if i if i venture something here
One of the reasons I didn't like dating was because of what it seemed like young men, boys, men need to sort of, how they need to behave and act, which always felt real corrosive and toxic and coarse and just calloused. At a very young age, if I'm representative of anything that can be generalized, it seemed...
that it was important and necessary for me as a man to like, you know, it's such a dumb old term that so many young people will be like, what did you just say? But like, so your wild oats, you know, that kind of thing. I don't know, what would you say now? I sound like an 80 year old. What would you say?
So, I'm not gonna say it again. You're like, okay, say it one more time for me, please.
Sow your or ones.
Your wild, it sounds so dumb. Sow your wild oats. When I have to say it slowly and break it down.
