Joe Rogan - Gender Based Generalizations Are Stupid

Yeah, that's when you find out who the boss in the relationship is. Joke like that. Why, who has to take... it's me. Who's taking the hit? Yeah. Who feels bad about this one? Maybe you both be honest and just admit you're both maybe not that great. It's a weird thing when someone feels like they're too good looking for the other person in the relationship. And could they be wrong? Yeah. They could be wrong. I mean, there are people that like different things. You know, there's people like different looks. Some guys like big girls, you know. Who knows? People like different shit. But if you think they don't like you as much as you'd like them... Can I tell you what you do to prevent that? What do you do? I hope I'm answered. I hope I'm... Is that... Because you know when people tell stories, they'll be like... And everything was great. I think this is addressing what you're saying. Everything was great. And then it's just... He or she or she or she, whatever the relationship is. Somebody else goes... and they wanted to end it. Everything was great. Well, look, because what do you want them to do? Wait. I'm not saying there's not rules and feelings and how you present it. But I think most of the time everything is great. And then you realize one day you wake up. And I've had it to me. I must have been on the other end of this. And they just don't want to be in it. But they stay in it because that doesn't mean they don't not care about you. So they stay in it and it gets bad. You see it coming. So I always say... I always let someone know... Let them know you're not crazy. That like... They learn that by what you tell about past stories. Like... And I once said this to someone. It was very early on. But I said, I have a feeling. I practiced it in my head and I was glad I did it. And I was like 23 or 4 at the time. I said, I have a feeling that I like you more than you like me. And I said... It's okay. I go, let me say this because I don't want this to be the day where I threw you off. If I'm wrong, I really like you. So if I just read it wrong, that's great. But... But that's... I don't think that's... I go, I won't... Of course I'll be sad. But I won't hate you. I won't be... I'll be okay. And then... And then... He was like, you're right. And because I said it in a way that I could... That he would be comfortable to say. You know what? I put a little bit of choke, a little bit of like... But I was okay. And I want to know that. So that's my answer to your question. You don't want to be delusional. I don't want to be delusional. I felt it and I asked and I asked the fact that I put that preface in there. Look, I need to let you know this. Not to make you feel bad. But I do like you because I don't want to find out 10 years later. I thought you were giving me walking papers. So I had to be clear with my feelings. But mainly let that person know. And that way I didn't end up in a relationship for another year where I knew the other person. How could that go bad? There's no way that could go bad. No, especially if you're hanging out with adults. When I was a kid, I think one of the things that took me a long time to get past was... It was always thought that if you talked about your feelings and your emotions, that that was weak. That was a weakness. It's not something you did with your friends. And it's not something you wanted to do with a girl. You didn't want to talk about your emotions. You didn't want to talk about how you actually felt about things. You wanted to play it stoic. You wanted to Charles Bronson your way through life. You know? That's what a lot of guys tried to do. Yeah. And that not understand... Like we don't... One of the big problems with people... Because you don't really know who you like until you're around them for a while. You really don't. And then sometimes you're like, ooh, I'm not into this person. I'm so bored. I can't have any more of these conversations. I can't do this. I can't do it. I'm panicking. I got to get out. But everything was perfect. Everything was going amazing. No, no, no. No, you thought everything was going amazing. It doesn't mean everything was going amazing. It means you didn't even check in. Right. Or the other way. But no, women used to be bored as fuck with dudes. Well, no, of course. It's the same thing. That's why I always say that. I'm comfortable having... The only reason I get nervous having relationship discussions... When somebody's going too heavy on women are crazy. I'm like... Yeah. If there's any truth to that, you look at same-sex couples. If it was true, hey, there's a lot of women that think men are crazy. Yes. If that was true, if there's any truth to that, it's people. There's people that are evolved and there's people that are... You know, have a deep-level head on their shoulders. Because if there was any truth that one sex was crazier, there's a science to disproving that. Then in lesbian relationships, you'd go, hey, how's your relationship? And they'd go, well, of course we argue a teeny bit here and there. But no, no, we're both women, so we're getting along great. No. Well, we got rid of the problem. We've got male relationships. It's the same problems. It's not like you go, oh, yeah, we don't have the crazy women, so when it's two guys dating, everything's great. No. Same exact problem. So it's not the sex, it's people. Does that make you...? You're 100% correct. You could not be more correct. And there's a real problem. We've got to really avoid this shit. There's people that'll say things like, you know, women are all dumb bitches or men are all shit. And that's nonsense. These gender-based generalizations are so stupid. There's nice people that are women. There's nice people that are men. It's just there's plenty of them. You can't have a few bad relationships and turn on other people. Every person has the same gender. And also, like, take a good look at yourself. Because if you really... You know, there's some people out there that do generalize like that. Like, look at your shit thinking that you're just diarrhea spraying out into the world. That's it. You know? I mean, that's really what it is. Whether you're a sexist against women or a sexist against men. You're just such a piss-poor way of looking at things. Everybody knows you're wrong. Everybody knows you're wrong. You think that... I mean, whatever it is, any generalization, whether it's a racist generalization, sexist, homophobic, it's all the same. Everybody who's listening knows what it is. You know what it is when someone makes a generalization. Like, you're not looking at... No. You're not looking at right. You don't know nice people that are black. You don't know any nice people that are black. That's ridiculous. Like, who the fuck are you? Like, how can you make this judgment when I've met so many? Like, you're not meeting enough people or they meet you and they go, oh, this guy's a fucking asshole. So they avoid you, so everybody's got this thing that they're spreading about you.
