Transcripts
hi everyone welcome back to my channel
if you're new here I'm Courtney Ryan and
today we are reacting to a Tik Tok I had
some people send this one to me because
it got a lot of traction over on Tik Tok
and I'll admit I have some mixed feeling
so let's watch it together reconvene and
I will tell you what I think I'll also
be interested to hear what you guys
think and I'm excited to read your
comments so share your perspective or
your opinions down in the comments for
me as well okay so the text on this Tik
Tok says the real reason pretty girls
are
single so here we go so this might be a
bit of a question controversial one not
really controversial but I know like
people might have a lot to say about it
insecure people might have a lot to say
about it and that's okay but my pretty
girls are going to get it and it's more
than that so just like listen when you
are the triple threat and when I say
triple thre I mean when you are very
pretty like very attractive really smart
confident your chances of finding a man
are slim to none and I know I Rave one
about insecurity in men and I do so
because it is such a big thing it's I
feel like it's a bigger thing that
people are giving it like attention for
and credit for so when you are quote
unquote the triple threat very few men
have the
confidence and the
security to want to date you and to be
with you and to try and talk to you one
out of three even two out of three of
the qualities I just mentioned is enough
for a guy to feel adequate enough to
speak to you but all three I'm telling
you right now close to Impossible it's
close to Impossible think about it guys
think about that one girl you think wow
this girl is like insane like I don't
understand why she's single think about
those three things I just said I bet you
she has them all I bet you she has them
all and in turn when you think about the
beautiful women that just so happen to
always be in relationship so happen to
always State these higher value man or
does she possess all three of the traits
that I
mentioned probably not probably not and
this isn't even to like shame no one be
mean and honestly sometimes I think like
damn like sometimes I wish I was just
like a dumb with a pretty face
then I feel like dating would be so much
easier
honestly and then the little caption on
her video also says the more insecure a
man is the more insecure he needs his
girl to be and I actually took a look at
the comments of that video because I was
interested to see what people were
saying and I actually saw so many
comments from women about how men are
always trying to Humble them and how men
are very intimidated by them I'm not
trying to discredit or disregard
anyone's experience I think it can be
true sometimes unfortunately I think
there are men out there who might feel
inadequate or less of a man um you know
if a woman is doing much better than him
or he feels like she's out of his league
right I think this definitely happens
but it's not always true and not every
single man is this way so I want to make
that very clear so she said when women
are sort of the Triple Threat that
dating is nearly impossible for them so
the triple threat is pretty or very
beautiful smart and confident and a
couple different thoughts I have here
again not trying to hate on this girl or
pick on this girl there may be some
nugget of Truth in what she is saying
but I think we need to remember before I
even get into this with dating and
relationship ships and The Human
Experience things are not just black and
white there is nuance and we always have
to leave room for that okay I know it's
annoying to say I'm sure you're tired of
me saying it but I think it's so
important and something that so much
content that talks about these subjects
is just totally lacking so let me just
say that now I have a couple thoughts I
think there's a few different things
going on here first one being I think
sometimes it is less about the men not
necessarily wanting to date you and more
about you not necessarily wanting to
date most men because let's be honest
let's just be transparent here plenty of
men will want to date you if you're
beautiful smart and confident but the
real question is do you want to date
them probably not you know the pool of
men that you're selectively choosing
from here becomes much smaller and in
return Then can make it more difficult
for you to find someone because of the
fact that you're being more selective
right I'm not saying that's right or
wrong but I think that's a reality so
maybe it is more difficult to date but
not necessarily for the reasons why this
woman is alluding to on the flip side to
that though I think we do need to talk
about the fact that there are many men
who are feeling insecure about their
situation and where they're at in life
many men are falling behind in areas
where women are now excelling education
finances career the statistics are
showing us the reality of this situation
so I do agree with her in the sense that
there are a lot of men out there who
might feel insecure about the situation
ation that they're in and maybe bringing
a woman into that you know as women
become more successful they're then
looking for more from men and I think
there are less men who have those things
that women are looking for now to also
play Devil's Advocate there are the
things that women are looking for always
the most realistic not necessarily I
think there are some things that are
realistic that are sort of bare minimum
but a lot of people are very picky their
standards are incredibly High which is
their prerogative that's their thing to
deal with who am I to say what she
should want who am I to say what he
should want right you know I think
having high standards is a good thing
realistically of course but when you set
these standards for yourself realistic
or not you have to understand that this
can then make finding a person who fits
that a little bit more difficult I
always like to share both sides so try
not to tune me out if I say something
that you disagree with because I always
try to give the flip side too I think
it's important to do that so I also want
to mention that I think many women who
are this triple threat right they're
beautiful they're confident they're
smart they might only have experience
with men who either a pedestalize them
which may be because they're insecure
intimidated operating in a scarcity
mindset or men who are sort of f boys
who have more options in women who are
less likely to commit so it would make
sense then why these women are single
they're not really attracted to and
don't really want one group of the men
and then the other group of men are not
committing to them because they have
plenty of options in women and these
women are almost just competing for
these high value men I hate using terms
like that but she said it in the video
um and a lot of people say it she
mentioned towards the end of her video
think about the women you know who are
always in relationships do they have all
three of those things probably not and
to that I would say that's just not true
at all there are plenty of women out
there who are beautiful who are smart
and who are confident who are in healthy
wonderful relationships and I think you
do yourself such a disservice in
convincing yourself that that is not
true and I do sometimes think this
mindset of you know this is the reason
why pretty women are single all pretty
women are single for this reason and
sort of always finding a way to point
the blame back to men in a sense is a
bit of a copout not always but a lot of
the time it is a bit of a cop out and I
think it lacks accountability because
you can be a beautiful woman who is
smart and confident and be in a healthy
relationship there is so much more that
goes into a relationship than those
three things so blaming your singleness
on the fact that you're beautiful smart
and confident might not always be the
most helpful approach because you could
have those three things and still be a
bad partner you could have a bad
attitude or operate in a way where you
think that you're better than everyone
because you have those three things or
just insufferable to be around I mean I
could go on and on here something that's
also interesting to think about here is
that would the men that you're actually
attracted to or want to date be
intimidated by
you I don't necessarily think so so then
is it Val Val to say that this is why
you're
single cuz you probably wouldn't want to
date the guys who would be intimidated
by you anyway you know I think as a
beautiful woman who is the whole package
your standards are naturally higher and
you're expecting the same out of a
partner that you demonstrate yourself
which is absolutely valid so that could
make it more difficult for you but I
don't think it's necessarily because men
are intimidated by you because the men
that you would want to date probably
aren't intimidated by you I do think men
have become much more reluctant to
approach women because of the culture
online regarding this there is so much
content out there of women making videos
talking about how they don't want to be
approached or how they think that men
are creepy and men make them
uncomfortable and I think a lot of men
just don't want to add to that problem I
think it would be very easy for me to
sit here and say well men just need to
gain more courage and men just need to
approach women but I can see both sides
and understand the reasons why they're
not doing it and it's not just because
they're intimidated by their beauty
they're scared of making you
uncomfortable they don't want to come
across as creepy and they're also
probably a little worn down from being
rejected like I have to think that's a
hard thing you know I don't have that
experience firsthand so I don't think it
would be fair for me to sit here and say
well men just need to approach women and
gain some courage and just go for it I'm
sure that's great advice in theory and a
lot of guys could benefit from hearing
it but I also understand the reasons why
that's not necessarily just the answer
to everything and times are tough out
there and as I mentioned earlier I think
we also sometimes forget that there are
plenty of beautiful smart and confident
women that just might not necessarily be
the best partner which could also be a
reason why they're single just because
you possess those three traits doesn't
automatically mean you would be a good
significant other to another person and
I do think that sometimes telling
yourself that men don't like you because
they're intimidated by you is a bit of a
copout you know I think it's a way for
some people not all people some people
to not take accountability for
themselves and the fact that maybe
they're just not very likable I would
say the same to men you know just
because a man is handsome smart and
confident doesn't mean that he has the
traits that are going to make him a good
partner again just want to reiterate
that there could be plenty of reasons
why beautiful women who think they're
the whole package are single and the
blame does not always need to be placed
on
men sometimes it can be there are times
when women are the problem there are
times when men are the problem but
blaming each other and taking no
accountability for the role that you
play is not necessarily the best and
maybe that right there is why you're
single also being single is not a
punishment like there's not
automatically something wrong with you
because you're
single there are so many wonderful
people out there who are single for many
different reasons I think that's
important to remember too if you're
someone who's watching this and you're
single and you're like what am I doing
wrong or how can I take
accountability sometimes it just takes
people more time we're all on different
life paths we all have different things
going on different
circumstances and not all of our lives
have to look exactly the same but again
want to reiterate there are women who
are smart who are beautiful who are
confident that are single there are
women who are smart beautiful and
confident that are in relationships and
it is not necessarily men's fault either
way and I would say the same thing to
men it is not all women's fault that
you're single so anyway I'm just ranting
at this point let me know what you guys

tired of the angry bitter people who are

accountability again that's not the move
