Outlines
π« Challenging the Myth of Male Commitment Gatekeeping
The host, L, kicks off the podcast by addressing the misconception that men gatekeep commitment while women gatekeep 'schmecks' (attractiveness or charm). She argues that women actually gatekeep a lot more, including their bodies, wombs, and the next generation. L emphasizes that the belief in male gatekeeping is harmful, as it positions men as the arbiters of women's worth in relationships. She encourages women to reject this narrative and recognize their own power in relationships, urging them to stop auditioning for men's approval and instead see themselves as the literal prize.
π The Impact of Dating Apps on Relationship Dynamics
In this paragraph, L discusses the negative effects of dating apps and the hookup culture on relationship dynamics. She notes that these platforms have lowered the barriers to entry for dating, leading to a rise in men who lead women on and then ghost them without reason. L points out that while rejection is a normal part of dating, the current trend of men misleading women and then abandoning them is particularly distressing. She suggests that the problem is exacerbated by the ease with which men can pretend to be interested in a serious relationship, only to change their minds after achieving their goals.
π€ Reevaluating the Role of Women in Relationships
L challenges the traditional narrative that men are the gatekeepers of commitment. She argues that women, in fact, gatekeep everything, including commitment and relationships. The host encourages women to recognize their own power and desirability, and to stop seeking validation and commitment from men who may not be worthy of it. L emphasizes that women should not audition for men's approval but rather expect men to be grateful for their attention and the opportunity to be in a relationship with them.
πΏ The Offline Search for Quality Relationships
Here, L suggests that good men are not found online but in real life. She criticizes the online environment where men can easily spread negativity and seek attention without meaningful interaction. The host encourages women to look offline for relationships, pointing out that good men are busy living their lives and are not the ones trolling the internet. L also touches on the importance of discernment in choosing a partner and emphasizes that it's not just about luck but also about recognizing and choosing a good person from the start.
π The Reality of Emotional and Physical Labor in Marriage
In this paragraph, L highlights the disproportionate amount of emotional and physical labor that women often take on in marriage. She discusses how women are frequently responsible for caregiving and running the household, in addition to their other responsibilities. The host uses a social media video as an example to illustrate the point that women bear the brunt of the work, even when their partners are present but not actively helping. L calls for women to acknowledge this imbalance and to seek out relationships where they are not the sole bearers of labor.
π Recognizing and Embracing Women's Power in Relationships
L concludes the podcast by emphasizing the importance of women recognizing their power in relationships. She argues that women gatekeep everything of value, including commitment and the next generation, and should act accordingly. The host encourages women to stop seeking validation from men and instead expect men to be grateful for the opportunity to be with them. L calls for a shift in the cultural narrative to reflect the reality of women's power and to stop giving men excuses for their lack of contribution in relationships.

Transcripts

woman like how dare you okay how dare
you audition for a man how dare you ask
a man to pick you pick me choose me love
me how dare you disrespect yourself like
that okay like get up okay you are the
literal prize you literally are the
gateway to the portal like you're not
just the gate he you're the literal gate
okay hey bestie welcome to the spoiled
girly support group podcast where we
talk about how to get that bag while
also secure in your own bag I'm your
host L and let's get into it on today's
episode we are talking about how women
gatekeep relationships not men and it
has been the long running scam getting
women to believe that men gep anything
in their pursuit of accessing women and
the earlier you undo this scammy belief
the better off you are as a woman now we
have a lot to cover but before we get
into it I need you to hit the like
subscribe and the notification Bell so
you never miss a spoiled girly episode
with that being said let's get into it
women are often told that women Gat keep
schmecks and Men gatekeep commitment and
women often believe this bold and
blatant and unfortunately very pervasive
lie that men gatekeep everything like no
women gatekeep everything women gatekeep
their bodies their wombs they gatekeep
the Next Generation they gatekeep
relations they gatekeep commitment so so
women gatekeep so much of everything
that men wanted to experience it and
gatekeep resources so that women
wouldn't have a choice but be in
proximity to men because if men didn't
gatekeep resources and brainwash women
into believing their lies below bare
minimum low effort men wouldn't have a
chance in life and before people say
that like oh not all men yeah obviously
not all men that's why there's a huge
qualifier in the beginning it's become a
tongue twister below bare mineral effort
men okay it's so annoying like
noit annoying back to the topic like
when you believe this lie that women
gatekeep schmecks and men gatekeep
commitment you start thinking that men
are the Arbiters of your worth as a
partner this belief that men gatekeep
commitment is what turns women into
pigmies okay it's the reason why women
feel so down when a guy suddenly stops
texting them or calling them after a few
dates you think that you're not worthy
of a relationship because some man
rejected you because he didn't deem you
worthy enough of being in a relationship
with because he's the gatekeeper of
relationships he didn't think you were
worthy enough like no first of all
rejection is normal okay for every
rejection you receive you should be
thankful because they are saving you so
much heartache and so much resources and
so much time that that you would have
wasted wasted if you kept on going with
this relationship rejecting you is
honestly the biggest favor that they
could do for you and that's not to say
though that rejection isn't painful
because it is like rejection is painful
but rejection in the early dating stages
is information okay now you know you're
not meant to be with this person thank
you next but it's one thing to be
rejected outright and it's one thing to
be love bombed misled and taken
advantage of and left feeling used and
duped and conned which which is what's
happening to a lot of women meeting men
on dating apps in today's dating
landscape women are facing a rise of
below bare midow effort men facilitated
by the rise of dating apps and hookup
culture and we have discussed both
dating apps and hookup culture in past
classes so check it out if you missed it
anyway as technology has made it easier
to meet potential Partners many women
find themselves confused and frustrated
when men who initially show interest
interest pursue them and then ghost them
okay and like I said it's okay if you
get rejected but there's this trend of
men literally leading women on for such
a long time and then just ghost them for
no reason okay but there is a reason and
we're going to get into it in a little
bit okay and actually we're going to get
into it right now let's talk about it
dating apps have lowered barriers to
entry let's watch this video men don't
want to earn our time in presence the
way they expect us to earn theirs you're
so right at the end of the day it's just
laziness I've been thinking recently
about how the barriers to entry when it
comes to dating and romance have been
lowered SL literally obliterated as a
result of dating apps and the
pervasiveness of like hookup culture and
I have done like previous videos and
podcast episodes about this but just
recently I've been talking to people
that have been using dating apps and
then I've also been seeing a lot of
screenshots on Chinese social Med Med
particularly like Chinese girls that
live overseas and date overseas men and
use apps like Tinder and Bumble and I'm
seeing a lot of examples of messages
where guys are like hey I've been
thinking about us and I just don't think
I'm ready for a relationship not
actually looking for anything serious
being really great getting to know you
and girls just being like so confused
that this guy's like pursued them or
they've become intimate with this guy
and then he just like flips the switch
and is like like that Meme that's like
like I've had a really great time with
you I think you're amazing but I'm going
to go find someone better and I think
it's because the stakes are just so low
when it comes to dating now because
there was like this study that was done
obviously this doesn't apply to everyone
but like in heteronormative relationship
Dynamics women are the ones that Gat
keep sex and men are the ones that Gat
keep commitment and because dating apps
make it so easy for men to have access
to women and then to also pretend that
they want something serious when they
could just be talking out of their ass
you know like it is so common for men to
say that they want to take you seriously
up until the point that they are able to
sleep with you and then they can change
their mind and say oh sorry I realized
realized I'm not ready for something
serious like even though you're not
guaranteed your relationship working out
if you meet someone in person if a guy
pursues you in person or approaches you
in person I feel like at least he's
going to be more intentional and he's
going to feel like he has something to
lose or there is something for him to
earn as a result of putting himself out
there and approaching you in person most
of the people that I've dated I've met
in person first and then maybe we've
like connected on social media but I
feel like because they have had to like
know me before they've asked me out
there is so much more weight put on that
interaction and on the potential of that
connection than if they had never seen
me before in person and were just
swiping through an app and met me that
way like I don't think you're guaranteed
your relationship working out just
because you meet in person first but I
feel like at least you might have a
slightly better quality experience
because a guy has to put in so much more
effort has to like be so much more
vulnerable when he approaches a woman in
person or a woman that he actually knows
not someone that is just like I mean
dating has always been a game but with
the rise of dating app s it has become
even more of a game for men who lack
empathy women have become more easily
objectified and exploited with the aid
of dating apps and I have waxed poetic
about dating apps in a past class but
it's absolutely disgusting how women
have become the products for sale on
these apps even the ones that claim to
be so Pro women so she also got into how
women's belief that men gatekeep
commitment is basically creating this
situation where women are auditioning
for commitment for relationships from
men okay so a lot of women believe this
women gatekeep schmecks and men gatekeep
commitment scam they fall for this trap
of giving men access to their portal in
hopes of getting commitment out of the
men like if you have to audition for a
man he's not the one and especially men
who participate in hookup culture and
Men Who see women as objects to be used
and conquered okay these are the very
same men who will call Women quote
unquote impure when women become quote
unquote impure by being with them it's
almost like they're the impurity okay so
contrast that scammy belief that man Gat
keep commitment with believing that you
as a woman Gat keep everything that you
as a woman Gat keep commitment as well
okay you Gat keep schmeck you gate keep
commitment you gate keep his lineage you
Gat keep everything okay he should be
absolutely great ful that you're even
talking to him and if he doesn't
recognize that he's not the one when you
believe that men gatekeep commitment you
put yourself in auditioning energy and
that's the worst energy to be in as a
woman like how dare you okay how dare
you audition for a man how dare you ask
a man to pick you pick me choose me love
me how dare you disrespect yourself like
that okay like get up okay you are the
literal prize you literally are the
Gateway to the portal like you're not
just the gatekeeper you're the literal
gate okay so can we not can we not
believe for one second that the people
having their so-called loneliness crisis
are the ones gatekeeping anything okay
men gatekeep commitment yet no one wants
to commit to them it's like being a
bouncer to a club that nobody wants to
go into like anyway I understand that
women feel this pressure to audition for
certain men to be a pikmy for certain
men feel like certain men do gate keep
commitment I understand that because it
seems like good men are in short supply
but let me tell you good men seem like
they're in short supply because y'all
are looking online like y'all are too
online okay the good men are offline
you're not going to find them in comment
sections you're not going to find them
trolling the internet liking girls
pictures and blah blah blah like you're
not going to find them there okay the
good men are offline and I know you
because I'm like this too you're always
online we're always online we're
chronically online I get that so
whenever I get so down on men I go out
and I touch grass the good men are
offline so if you want to find one and
that desire to be in relationship with a
man is also valid no no Nelly if you're
really into that go touch grass okay the
good men are offline they're offline
minding their business so what are you
doing like thinking that you can find a
good one from a pool of men who have
nothing better to do than be online and
spread their hatred online you know know
it's because no one wants to talk to
them in real life that's why they have
to get your attention in comment
sections telling you mean things arguing
the minutest of points just so that they
can get some of your energy okay and
that's exactly why you shouldn't argue
with men online you shouldn't talk to
men online like no the internet is for
the girls period okay without feminine
energy they wither and they know it you
are food to them you are nourishment to
them you are sustenance to them men
built everything
which is patently false by the way men
built everything but they wouldn't have
built all of that if it wasn't for women
so can we like once and for all agree
that women gatekeep everything even
commitment even relationships even
marriage okay like that's what's so
baffling to me about this discourse that
men gatekeep commitment when they're
literally the ones going down on one
knee purchasing something so expensive
as a symbol of sacrifice asking a woman
to marry him like you're like you're
really telling me that it's that man
who's gatekeeping anything the man who's
saying marry
me like that what our culture has made
such a pikm out of women by perpetuating
this narrative that it isn't women who
gatekeep relationships we have been
programmed to see unmarried women as sad
because they're alone and at the same
time they're dangerous because they
might steal our husbands we've been
taught to wait around for marriage so by
the time we get proposed to the answer
is is usually 100% absolutely yes like
can we leave some mystery can we not
wait until we've had a brood of kids
lost out on opportunities literally made
our worlds revolve around men who are
not our husbands so by the time that
they ask us to marry them there's no
other answer other than yes so that we
could keep living the same life we were
living like can we leave some mystery
okay obviously with Nuance because I
know that there's women who never want
to be married for various reasons so
this statement is obviously no no Nelly
for the women who want marriage okay so
I'm going to get people in the comments
saying like oh what if this what if that
then it's not about that then now here's
something fascinating that I found to
drive this point home if the husband
dies the wife is going to be fine really
yeah widows are way happier than
widowers I told that to my wife and
she's like
huh widowers do really poorly generally
men do very poorly and part of the
reason is because these data are
disputed but more or less they're
they're directionally correct 60% of
60-year-old men say their best friend is
their wife 30% of their wives say their
best friend is their husband women have
more relationships they have closer
deeper love
relationships with non-related kin and
with the adult children typically than
the husband does the husband's most
intense companion relationship typically
is with the wife and that's why that's
an asymmetric stat m and that's what the
data say and according to Harvard Health
publishing a major survey of
127,500 is
loneliness is the institution of
marriage linked to Better Health or is
it simply a question of living with
another person although studies vary the
answer seems to be a little of both
people living with unmarried Partners
tend to Fair better than those living
alone but men living with their wives
have the best health of all and what's
more Japanese scientists reported that
never married men were three times more
likely to die from cardiovascular
disease than married men and a report
from the Framingham Offspring study also
suggests that marriage is truly
heartwarming scientists evaluated 3,682
adults over a 10-year period even after
taking major cardiovascular risk factors
such as age body fat smoking blood
pressure diabetes and cholesterol into
account married men had a 46% lower rate
of death than unmarried men men benefit
from Marriage more than women do and
that's why men asterisk have to con
women into believing that they the men
are the ones who gatekeep commitment
that they the men are the ones who
gatekeep marriage they have to con women
into believe in that they the men are
the ones who gatekeep marriage as
reverse psychology to make women want to
marry them and we already talked about
that in a past class so check it out
they have created this culture to
ingrain in women the fantasy of a
wedding to mask the harsh realities of
marriage to a below bare Minal effort
man okay when research consistently
shows that men tend to benefit more from
Marriage than women do particularly in
areas like physical health mental
well-being and Longevity and apparently
married men experience lower mortality
rates better health outcomes and greater
emotional support compared to their
unmarried counterparts you know why it's
because women encourage healthy
behaviors and promote stability in
marriage and what do we get on top of
the Baseline benefits of being married
women take on the emotional labor and
physical labor and caregiving
responsibilities not just for their
husbands but also for their children and
also both sets of Aging parents and
various other relatives no wonder widows
don't get remarried and I also saw this
Tik Tok about how you don't really see
women having secret second families and
it's because women are the ones who run
the household running one household
already takes up so much time like
imagine having a secret second one too
like the gusp I gusp I was like like if
men actually ran the household they
wouldn't have enough energy to start a
second one especially a secret second
one and I also saw this video and I
can't play it but maybe I'll show you a
picture of it and then you can find it
it's basically this mom getting out of
the car with like two tote bags she's
also carrying like a baby and like a
carrier in front of her and she was
getting her toddler out of the car and
her husband just like toddles along
playing on his phone that's all he was
carrying just his phone and this lady
had two tote bags a baby and is getting
the toddler out of the car and guess
what happens the lady starts to fall
back and kind of like knocks over her
toddler like the toddler is fine
but it just encapsulates how like women
take on majority of the labor literally
the physical labor of running a family
like this man couldn't even help her
with one item all he was carrying was
his phone and then when the mother
knocks over the toddler guess who feels
bad the mother people could say that
nobody told her to do all that nobody
told her to do all that but she still
had to do all that okay so annoying like
this man was was literally no thoughts
just Vibes you know waddling out of his
car getting in the house and leaving
everything else to his wife okay like
ma'am your husband hates you and I don't
take joy in telling women that it's
actually sad but we're done giving men
excuses okay we're done giving the born
leaders the heads of household excuses
okay they're not dumb they're not
clueless they really 100% meant to do
whatever they did to you they did that
on purpose because they don't like you
your husband hates you your boyfriend
hates you that's why he does those
things to you so can we stop being with
men who hate us okay if he enjoys seeing
you suffer and actually manufactures
even more suffering for you he hates you
if he doesn't alleviate your workload
your stress your anxiety he hates you he
loves to see you all rattled and
stressed and tired and exhausted he gets
off on that he hates you if your life is
even more tiring more exhausting more
draining in all the aspects spirit
spiritually physically mentally
financially he's not the one he hates
you okay men are supposed to make your
life easier not harder that's literally
the point of partnership like if you
were to start a business why would you
partner with someone who isn't making
the business easier is it making the
business bigger okay it's the same thing
partnership relationships marriage isn't
for the Instagram likes the Tik Tok
likes oh look at me I found a good one
men are not status symbols okay like a
man should make your life easier Point
Blank period Speaking of men who make
your life easier let's watch this video
this seems like common sense but I'm
going to say anyways I'm not lucky that
I have a good husband I have a good
husband because I married a good man
people keep commenting on my Tik Tok
that I'm lucky I have such a good
husband I'm lucky that he puts up with
this blah blah blah luck didn't have
anything to do with it I mean he was a
good man when we were
dating so I married him
good men turn into good
husbands bad boyfriends don't make good
husbands I knew when I was dating Kaden
that he would be a great husband and a
great father so I chose to marry him and
then bear his children it wasn't luck it
wasn't like no coin flip I knew who he
was and I knew I wanted to build a life
with him somebody commented that her
partner would strangle her if he acted
if she acted like I did and it was
like you should get a new partner
exactly like he hates you get a new
partner you can do better and I know we
like to talk about lucky girl this lucky
girl that type of stuff but there's
Nuance okay like it's okay to feel
blessed to have such a great partner it
really is amazing but it's not only luck
it's also discernment okay it's knowing
that someone who is in a great boyfriend
probably would make an even worse
husband it's time we start holding men
to the same standards that we hold
ourselves to it's time to realize your
great power as a woman you gatekeep
everything not them you gatekeep
relations you gatekeep commitment you
gatekeep the Next Generation you
gatekeep their literal survival and it's
time you start acting like it bestie
wake up
