same line of thinking and I don't know what's wrong with it. So I'm going to test it out on you and it goes like this. If you're a woman and you're looking for a guy, correctly if I'm wrong, these are the standard things that women are looking for now and these are the things that they say most often. Now every woman is different, right? Every man is different. So this isn't all people. It's just…
← Previous segment →mall really fast. And that's just two filters.
Here's some more. Suppose you wanted a guy who was going to be faithful. You know, basic, right? You want a guy who's not going to cheat on you but he's also over six feet tall and he has a good income. What are the odds of somebody who is tall and has a good income, meaning the most desirable man, what are the odds that he will be faithful to one woman over a relationship? Let's say charitably 50 percent. Charitably, right? Just so it doesn't sound too terrible I'll say 50 percent. So that you would also multiply that by the percentages.
How many women would prefer a beta male over an alpha male? Almost none, right? So women would also want somebody who projects at least an alpha male. How many men project an alpha male persona percentage-wise? I'm gonna charitably say half. Would you accept it? Charitably half. Most of you think way less than half but let's say charitably half, right? So that cuts in half again the number of possibilities for the women.
Do you think the women care if the man has an addiction to drugs or alcohol or a mental illness? What percent of men don't have an addiction or a mental illness? Again I don't know. Maybe half. Would you say half? Just say half just so we can do the math, right? So again you take what you've cut down to already and cut that in half again.
How about would women want a guy who's in reasonably good shape? Now not necessarily running marathons but just somebody who's in the better quadrant. So maybe let's say 25 percent of men. Would you say 25 percent of men are in reasonably good shape? You know they don't have to run marathons. Let's say 25. So now take what you're down to and you know take 25 percent.
About the right religion, the right age, a guy who will treat you right. He's also available so he has to be available otherwise it's useless. And he has to like you and you have to like him. So if you do the math the available number of people, that's right. If you eliminate all of the people on all of those things do you know what's left? Andrew Tate. Andrew Tate. That's all.
And I don't know how many he can handle according to him. That's his word. I'm using his word. I would never call women that. Never what Andrew does. So let me tell you. But he can only handle I don't know maybe 100 or 200 per year like maximum because he's busy. He's got some businesses to run. He has to exercise. He needs one hand to smoke his cigar. So like he can't handle thousands of women. Now he does have a brother and his brother can handle maybe a few hundred extra but the Tates alone can only handle at most a thousand women out of all the billions in the world. So you really can't depend on him to do it all.
So do you know why AI is going to be a problem? It seems like I changed the subject but I didn't. Do you know why AI is going to be a problem? Because it might tell you the truth. Hey AI, should I get married? What's AI going to say? Or if you say what are my odds of being happily married or finding a man that I want to be married to? And AI will say well what is your criterion? You know, tell me what you're looking for. And you'd say well you're just tall and blah blah blah. And then AI would say all right, your odds of finding what you need, the minimum that you need to be happy, are point zero zero zero zero zero one. And it will be correct. That will be the actual right calculation.
Who would get married? It's the end of civilization. You do understand the civilization absolutely requires us to be deluded all the time because the moment you actually understood the odds of things you change your behavior. It would be the end of civilization.
Speaking of Tate, he tweeted at Greta Thunberg today. He's very good at being provocative. And he tweeted, hello Greta Thunberg, I have 33 cars. My Bugatti has a big quad turbo engine. My two Ferraris have giant engines. He goes this is just the start. Please provide your email address so I can send the complete list of my car collection and the respective enormous emissions. So he tweeted that at Greta. Greta answered him back and she said yes please do enlighten me. You can email me at smalldickenergy at getalife.com. So I'm glad the two of them are getting along.
So I don't know. I don't want to like Greta because I don't agree with her climate hysteria. But I realized today that I have to delete my Instagram app. Did anybody else have this problem? I made the mistake of looking at some Andrew Tate videos and now that's all that feeds me is nothing but Andrew Tate videos. It's like 80 percent of Andrew Tate videos. So the entire thing is useless now. Like I have to delete Instagram because he act

ually polluted it. And by the way I don't have, I'm not complaining about his content. I'm not saying we shouldn't be there. I'm not saying it has no value. I'm just saying there's so much of it that you can't even use the app. He actually overwhelmed Instagram. Has anybody else had that experience? Because you only have to look at a few of them and the algorithm does the rest. So I have to search…
