Is it inappropriate if you're like, man, I'm about to get married. I just want to get it in one last time with somebody else, and then I'm ready to go. Is it inappropriate if she did that? She had sex with another man before you married her? I'm gonna answer my question first the question is yes it is inappropriate so is it inappropriate to have a bachelorette party with swinging balls and dicks everywhere and then y'all see he's sitting on you that's inappropriate yeah that's inappropriate too but that's women do that I mean it is what it is men do strippers and have naked strippers there so that's like I think the bachelorette and bachelorette party is like you know what I'm gonna have fun one last time it doesn't mean you're sleeping with someone this is the taking over the game all right everybody welcome to truth after dark Do you think that men or women are more toxic? Hello, beautiful people. Welcome to another episode of The Truth After Dark. I am your host, Cesar Faraday. What up? The truth in the building. So we're going to get into some current events. Dak Prescott has been in the media a lot. him and his fiancee called off their wedding a week before it was supposed to happen so there's been a lot of speculation some and saying like she didn't want to sign a prenup and allegedly what really happened is that people at the bachelorette party or bachelor party showed her inappropriate dms from dac to other women damn this is my thing why y'all wait as friends of hers to the bachelorette party to bring this up. If y'all are friends, you're going to contact her like, girl, you still want to do this? Why you wait till we get all the way to a week before the wedding or all of this stuff to be like, oh, look, girl, you sure you want to marry him? That's just hate. That's just hate. Like, I feel like friends, yeah, it's a proper time and place to do things, and as a friend, do you bring that awareness to her of that? Girls are going to do that anyway, yeah, But I think you shouldn't wait till the bachelorette party. I don't think when you're like, everything's all planned and, oh, look, look, look. That's just like, come on, man. That's like, you're just trying to make something good go bad. He obviously loved her. He obviously wanted to marry her. But then this stuff come up. I hate this. Well, it's not their fault. Well, they could have brought it up sooner. They could have brought it up sooner. But we don't know if it just happened. It's not necessarily their fault. Yes, I agree with what you're saying. They could have brought it up sooner. But saying he obviously loves her and he obviously does, he obviously doesn't respect her enough if he's about to marry her and he's DMing a bunch of other women. All right, so let me ask you this. Is it inappropriate if he's like, man, I'm about to get married, I just want to get it in one last time with somebody else, and then I'm ready to go? Is it inappropriate if she did that? She had sex with another man before you married her? I'm going to answer my question first. The question is yes. It is inappropriate. So is it inappropriate to have a bachelorette party with swinging balls and dicks everywhere and then y'all, he's sitting on you, that's inappropriate? Yeah, that's inappropriate too. But that's women do that. It is what it is. Men do strippers and have naked strippers there. Yeah, so that's like, I think the bachelor and bachelor party is like, you know what, I'm gonna have fun one last time. It doesn't mean you're sleeping with someone. There's crossing a line by going to a strip club. Well, and listen though, what I'm saying, who said he was sleeping? You said inappropriate messages. Yeah, but still, inappropriate messages. Inappropriate messages are inappropriate messages. It doesn't mean he's sleeping with her. That's two different things. inappropriate. If you found messages in your soon-to-be wife's phone asking men to sleep with her, or can I have dick, or you're handsome, you're sexy, I want you... We don't know the context. What I'm asking you is, are you gonna still marry her? What you asking me again? If your soon-to-be wife you found DMs of her DMing multiple men, flirting, asking them to meet up, asking them for sex, saying that they're sexy and she wants them. Is that inappropriate and are you going to marry her? I think we got to have a conversation. I don't think like Dak, the position he is, hell no. Hell no. I'm good. Nah, we ain't doing that. Right. And I'm good too. We don't know the extent or the context of his inappropriate messages. Was it something sexual? Was it like we don't know. Inappropriate is inappropriate and disrespectful, but I don't know the context. Obviously, it was enough to say, to call off the wedding. You're not calling off the wedding because you're saying, hey, what's up? You're calling off the wedding because you probably are saying something sexual. You're probably insinuating things. And I'm calling off the wedding, too, at the end of the day, because at this point, what are we getting married for? I'm so confused. Is it a breakup, then? It's a breakup. It's like, this is off completely. I'm cool. You disrespected me. Like, it's one and we don't know if it's a continuous thing. Like, it's, see with a woman, it's like, I may see something one time and I might let that slide, but then if I see it again and again, this is now, you're showing me this is who you are. And at that point, I'm stupid. Fool me once, shame on me. Shame on you, I mean. Fool me twice, shame on me. Like, I'm not gonna let you fool me twice. I'll give you a one-time benefit of the doubt. So we don't know if she gave him a benefit of the doubt before and he was like, no, it's not like that. And now she's seeing all these messages and we're supposed to get married? I don't want to marry you. She saw the deal on the table. She saw, oh, inappropriate messages and a prenup? I can't take that deal. Maybe. If it was no prenup, maybe she takes the deal? I wouldn't. It just depends what people value. I mean, women love security. in a man. He obviously can give that to her. Do you realize that security is more than money? It's money and it's mental health. Do you know that it's emotional security? It's emotional security. You're absolutely right. It's physical security. Physical security meaning I know you're not sleeping with other women and can bring me something. Emotional security. Honestly, I feel like financial security is important, but I put emotional security really high up there for women. We're very emotional and we have a lot of shit going on with us and if a man can't protect you emotionally that that doesn't feel safe it doesn't feel good it feels scary and it feels really like uneasy and it dysregulates your nervous system as a woman when I feel like I cannot trust my man to just have a conversation with them to trust them to be faithful to trust a lot of things it makes you feel like I'm not in a in a good place and also it's funny because I on here I have to this is something I'm actually talking about there's a study that shows people who avoid hard and tough conversations are more likely to cheat or disconnect so people who avoid conflict instead of resolving it problems don't get resolved they usually end up either cheating or they completely disconnect from the relationship and i can agree with that all right before we go any further women value financial security first on the list. Once they get the financial security, all those other things fall in line. Would you agree with that? I think most women, yeah. I would probably agree with that. Well, he didn't show emotional security because of the text. He's given her financial security. So I'll say move on with the wedding and figure it out in a marriage. Some people value financial and emotional security the same. Like, it's the same. Like, if a man didn't give you no financial security and he gave you emotional security and... What I'm saying is it's the same. You can't have one without the other. Yes, you can. There's a lot of women who will take financial security and not emotional security, and there's a lot of women who take emotional security, not financial security, but there's a lot of women who feel like if I can't get both, then I don't want to be in this relationship. Like, if I can't be emotionally secure, because people will go, a lot of people who take the financial security, they'll end up being in a situation where now they feel empty. All I got is nothing. I got financials, but I'm depressed, I'm sad, I'm alone. I don't have anybody that I can talk to and really, like, have a conversation with. I don't trust this person. Like, it's a lot that comes with that. So it's inevitable to end. Like women need emotional security, and even if they try to trick theirself and pretend that they don't, that relationship will end. But not having financial security can lead to that emotional insecurity also. Everything. That's why I said it's a balance. It goes hand in hand. You need to have both, period. Because even with men, men who are not financially secure in a relationship, they often cheat too because they need their ego. strokes because they're in a relationship with a woman where they feel like oh my god i'm struggling she's complaining like i need to go over here and get a release type shit so it's like there's always something and that's why i say it goes hand in hand but emotional security we talk so much about financial but emotional security is like gold and it's really hard for men to give that a lot because men are so logical that they don't understand the emotionality of a woman a lot and they really We don't try to do the work to understand that. So for them, it's like, you're emotional. You're always saying something. You always got this. You always got that. Because it's true. Like, it's true. Women are more emotional than men. Yeah, we are. We know that. And then little things turn into big things when they don't have to. Well, I think that little things turn into big things when men can't accept that their woman is emotional and just let them say what they need to say and be like, all right, baby, I got you. Instead, men want to tit for tat. Why? you tit for tatting me i'm not what what are we doing here you're a man why are you trying to act like me i think we need to all just grow up though yeah like sometimes it's just like man as a man you want them to be all soft all the time you want them to like sometimes you gotta hold the line yeah but i think that there's a level of there's a level of like when you're a man there's a level of like knowing when and how to treat your woman accordingly like i just i do i feel like women we go through hormonal changes pms all this stuff which is real scientific proven backed by science like we change hormonally all the time and a man who can understand that and be like you know what all right baby like i get you we're good like because you can as a woman have a whole emotional week a whole emotional two weeks because you're pmsing before your period now you're on your period now you're stressed out like there's a lot that women deal with when it comes to their emotions that we just want men to do a better job at understanding and that's it like i get it and i feel like as a woman you shouldn't lean solely on your man to like regulate your emotions no you should have some emotional regulation on your own but who wants to have like men should not match energy. You shouldn't match a woman's energy. You're not a woman. Like, you shouldn't be tit for tat. What is a woman looking for in an emotional... No, you're not looking for an emotional man. You're looking for... What type of emotional security you want if you don't want us to match your emotional security? My point is, if a woman is, like, in her emotions, we're not expecting a man to be, oh, you have this? Now I'm gonna act like this. We're not expecting no tit for tat. We're expecting a man to be like, alright, baby, like I love you good like it takes the smallest thing like men don't realize you could shut the woman up so quick if you're just like all right baby I hear you I love you I got you don't trip this is simple but men just want to instead be like whatever I don't what like all this stuff and it's like just say that and move on and I think that that's where women and men are getting I just saw a video about this and two women have spoken about this recently I just feel like it's just simple and we both need to do a better job at understanding each other. Period. Point blank. But I agree. You know, like just even as women, I think we need to understand men are logical and sometimes like it can hurt our feelings because we're just like, damn, it feels so cold. But you know, men just don't harp on shit the way we do. And we have to understand that as well. I think we just need to do a better job of understanding both parties. I wouldn't have called off the wedding if I was her though, I'd be like, man, we didn't went this far. I mean, come on. Like, we didn't went this far and for her to see some inappropriate tests is something we can talk about. But we don't know if it's been a reoccurring issue. And then it's like, damn. And how did we get this far then if it was a reoccurring issue? How did we even get this far? Because women give men chances. We want to say, we want to believe when a man's like, no, babe, I didn't do that on purpose. I didn't mean that. No, babe, this happened. we give men so many chances to excuse the behavior. So then now I look stupid because now you keep playing with me in my face. And now people think women want to be married so bad. I don't want to be committed to a man that's like that. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with you. It could have been an isolated incident. But we don't know that. And even if it is, some people have harder boundaries. I don't deal with it. Some women are straight up. I don't deal with that. I don't deal with no level of cheating straight up. We get this far for you to call this off. We didn't have all the invitations. I didn't bought out the place. I didn't flew out all these people. Well, then because it's like, I don't want to get a divorce. I don't want to go through that. I know that I don't want to be with you. See, men don't understand when men, women don't understand when men, I mean, men don't understand when women start to see certain stuff a man is doing, you lose that soft spot for them. You start to lose respect. And a man doesn't want to be with a woman who doesn't respect him. So if I know in my heart, I can't really respect him anymore, and I lost that soft spot for him, I'm doing, like, that's really doing him a favor. That's doing you a favor because I'm not going to be able to look at you in the same light anymore. I'm doing you a favor for real by moving on. Like, once I get to that point, I have to walk away because you don't want to be disrespected. I don't really have respect for you after you seem to turn stuff. I don't think they have kids, but... No, I don't think they have kids together. But I have to double check. I'm not sure. but from what I remember I don't think let's see I can look it up if they got kids then but they're not by her right yeah I don't think that they have kids no they don't have kids together or do they probably he saved I don't know if they have kids I thought it was from a different lady but it might be from her he probably saved she saved him a lot of bread for doing that Yeah they do have two kids They have two kids together yeah They got to work that out They got to figure that out. He got to be like, no, we getting married and we going to figure it out. Why, though? Because we already built something. Why tear it down? When you walk that aisle, you know, it's for sickness and health till death do us part. Yeah, but it's not for you cheating or sending inappropriate messages or telling what else you did. Let's take that out the wedding then till death do us part. That don't ever need to be said by the future. Well, that's my point. She didn't go through the wedding. Yeah, but I'll just say. She didn't want to do the death to us part because she's not going to deal with what you're coming with. Yeah. That's my point. My point is, is I'm not going to walk down the aisle because I'm not going to make that commitment to a man who behaves like this. whether we have kids or not people have kids all day and they're not together like what does that have to do with anything people are baby mamas and baby daddies all day so at the end of the day we were already had two kids before we were ever married so now we'll co-parent like what is the difference i don't want to commit to a man like men thinks women want so marriage so bad that they'll relinquish their boundaries and their values and their respect i don't want to be sitting here and make a vow and commit to a man who i know is willing to have this type of behavior who is disloyal. I can't sit in front of God and the people that I love and make that commitment. Because once I make that commitment, people honor marriage, some. And once I personally make that commitment, we really are death to us part if I get married. If I ever get married, I'm death to us part. We're not divorcing. We're going to have to figure this out. So I'm not going to do that with a man who I know is going to put me through so much shit that's going to make me want to die so we can part. I'm not going to want to do that. Well, wait, what did you just say? You said, we'll work this out if you get married? Yeah, if I get married. But if we're before the marriage and we're not doing this, I'm not going to go make that commitment before God. So if that had to happen within the marriage, then they got to work on it. They got to figure something out. If that would have happened within the marriage, it would be different, yeah. And again, like you said, it's a fine line and boundaries, and it must have been something. There had to be something over the top to where you just, I can't deal no more. Because they've obviously been together for a while, got two kids together and maybe that was just the final straw. Yeah, it could have been the final straw. They've been together for a minute. Obviously wasn't the first time. Yeah, it couldn't have been. Because if it's the first time Well, I'm going to tell you this though. It's so funny because me and my homegirl were talking about this and she said something crazy and it's sad that women even have to experience it but she was like, you know, the first time a man does something to like break your trust she's like remember that time it hurts the most right like because what happens is for a woman people men don't realize that's the time it hurts the most but once you do it again it's like okay then you do it again it's like okay i'm starting to fall out of love with you now what's happening is the first time a man cheats or he does anything to break your trust it hurts so bad because as women even though men have constantly proven that they will do this type of behavior you have this man on a pedestal and you're like no this one is different he's not gonna do anything like that i trust him i love him he hasn't done anything i know and you have this hope that you're like i actually met someone who's not gonna do this who's different for me and then when they do it it shatters you. It breaks you so bad. And it's like, damn, I really thought this was different. And then after, when you find something again, you're just, it gets, the pain lessens every time. And then by the time you're on their third, fourth, you're ready to leave. Because you're like, oh, it's like you get numb. You're like, oh, I expect this now. I don't even expect you, I don't even look at you as someone like, I want to leave me. or I could trust because you lack discipline. You lack loyalty. You lack honesty. Why do I look at you? Those are not leadership qualities. I don't look at you as a leader. So now I'm losing respect and I'm losing love as time goes on to the point where you just become numb. But that first time, that first time you're broken. Well, she probably lost respect. You lose respect. You lose respect. And who knows? He might have been doing the marriage and the engagement even because he messed up so bad. You already had two kids together for however long. You probably did this because you're like, okay, let me show you this and that. And she probably got to the point where like, I'm not going to do this. I'm not going to make a commitment in front of all these people and end up divorcing you. Divorce is hard, obviously. It's more than a breakup. It's more intense and it's a lot. And nobody wants to have to go through that. So you're already going through a public this, and this is not even the divorce, and you're already going through all of this. So, you know, as a woman nowadays too, it's like you want to think about, like if I ever get the opportunity to get married or whatever, it's like you got to, it's going to have to be someone that I'm like, yeah, I know you're not going to make a fool of me or embarrass me because once I stand before God, it's more for me a commitment to God. Like I'm going to really rock with that and we're going to make this work. but if I know you're going to put me through a whole bunch of shit in order to do that, why am I going to do that? Like, why? What's the point? I get it. Because, like, for instance... So what do we actually do? How do women look at it? Like, all right, he put you through some shit. It's over with. You move on. You get a new guy. He put you through some shit. Is this a cycle now? Yeah, it's a cycle. So what happens is, like, you pray you find a guy that's not going to... You wish you should have stayed in that bullshit? No, you don't. You don't. You don't. I should have just took his bullshit and then dealing with his bullshit. Nah, nah, nah, you're cool. Yeah, you're cool. Because it gets too deep into one person's bullshit to where you can't even get with them sexually anymore. You can't. You can't. Like, I can't get past this with you. So I don't want you. So even if I go to a new man and he cheats or he does something, like, I'd rather do it here because it's not as built up long time resentment. I can't do it with the person. once you meet a threshold with a man as a woman it's over yeah it's it's really over like that's what men don't realize even if we want to be with you yeah even if we're like i wish i don't want to end this relationship i don't want to not get married i don't want to not be with the person i'm supposed to like have a kid with i don't want to do this even if you have all those things that you don't want you physically could not feel soft again you physically could not feel safe again And if a new man does it, then it's a new situation. And you pray and hope that he might mess up one time and it's not again. And you keep figuring it out until you can find a man that actually respects you. But I'm going to keep trying and get with somebody who is actually like, you know, I got you, baby. To where I can feel safe and I can feel good because I don't regret. I've been in that situation. I've left someone and I got with a new person and they did something. I don't ever feel like I should have stayed with him. No, because it's gone. It's over for that. Like, I can't. And that's why men have to understand when you're doing stuff and you're doing dirt, it's not even about if she's going to forgive you. It's about I can't forgive you if I want to. I can forgive you, but I can't feel that way with you no more. Like, I remember telling the guy that I was with for years, like, I just don't feel that way about you anymore. I just, I can't. Like, I want to, but I really can't. I really can't. And I've tried therapy, but I just, I can't get past this anymore. Yeah. You know, I can't feel soft with you and safe with you anymore.

It's good to be right. Like Lamar Odom, he went on a podcast recently and says that he regrets cheating and stepping out on Khloe Kardashian and that he mentally will be paying for that for the rest of his life. And he basically said like, he made a commitment, like he prayed to God. They were both, you know, God-fearing, and he was praying to God that he was going to do right by this person, and he did not. You know, because I know he was married before her, I think. Wasn't he? I'm not sure. But he said that this relationship with her, he was trying to do different, and he prayed to God, like, I'm going to do different this time, and he didn't. So he said to make that mistake twice, he said it killed him. And he mentally is now paying for that for the rest of his life. Because it's one time to do it once, and then now to do it again is like blowing at me, sad. But, you know. Life be lifin'. Life be lifin'. It is what it is. Speaking of that, Dwight Howard is currently going through a divorce. Damn. Why even get married? Look at, listen to all these. This is like horror story time right now. Well, I think that this all has to do with men saying they want peace after disrupting it. I hate when men are on, they're like, I want peace. I want peace. Yeah. I want to be peaceful. I just want to be chill. Well, you did a whole bunch of shit to make it non-peaceful and to make me feel crazy about shit, and now you want peace so bad. What's the latest on his situation? Well, he filed for divorce. That's the latest thing we've seen. Yeah, damn. They was only together for like a year. Well, they already was having public issues before they got married or when they just got married. So, like, talking about divorce, like, after, like, a month of being married. So, I don't know. I also think that, like, keeping your information public and, like, letting us all know what's going on is just, like, you shouldn't do that. Keep us out the conversation. We don't need to know when y'all getting divorced, when y'all getting— I hate people who go to the Internet for stuff. That really is the most unattractive thing anyone can do for me. Social media has ruined relationships. So many now. We're in an era to where, like you said, with the Dak Prescott, DMing, inappropriate messaging, or here, this is what we're doing in our relationship, public, public, public, and everybody knowing everything about y'all, to where now you allow other people to interfere in it and attack you even more. Because the more, this is what women and men do. When they get married and then your DMs get in flux, it just opens up the door for so many negative comments or just negative influences that it can creep into a woman's mind or a man's mind because now when you make it public and somebody's like, oh, yeah, I seen her here or I know she used to, all of that, and then it just creates doubt. And it's just like, I just feel like most relationships, especially with public figures, because that's what we're talking about right now, should remain private. and the more private you get but the more privacy you put in a relationship the less people are going to come in and try to attack the relationship to try to break it up because people hate to see other people happy I feel like a lot of times you got your genuine friends and family I want to see you happy but then you got people that just like let me see let me see if I can break this up oh here's my window of opportunity it just opens up the door for too much other things to creep in I agree with that I think privacy is key I think keeping self private close to your heart is important I agree with that I hate seeing everything play out over social media it just gets messy and there's no recovery once public embarrassment is involved it's hard to go back that's one thing for a woman a woman hates public embarrassment you know you can have stuff and it's kept in house and you know you don't know what's going on you don't know what they're going through but on social media everything looks happy but once it goes public the relationship has such a strain on it that it's hard to recover from that and that's why I hate when people take it to the oh this is what we're going through like all of that is unnecessary like I just I'm not I don't like anybody who goes to the internet. I'm old school and I don't like public embarrassment. Yeah, anything who's going to the internet, that's blowing me. It's because you're not looked at as a fool now when you go out in public. But if it's private and everybody ain't in y'all business, you could probably deal with it a little better, right? Yeah, you could deal with it a little better. When it's public, it's like, damn, you just feel like everybody looking at you a certain way, talking behind your back, doing all this, and it's just too much built up when you have to go out the house every day to have that feeling. So I encourage relationships, whether it's... People are going to talk about you regardless, though. Whether it's a public figure, whether it's this... Public embarrassment. Yeah, but it's like people assume things. Something can come out on the internet and they don't know the real about, oh, this is that, and then everyone's sending it to each other, talking shit about you, sending it here, sitting here you can't even go to the damn gym people are in your business like stuff happens like that regardless and it's just about how you're built and if you're built to go through that like there's certain people who are not and there's certain people who just be like whatever I don't even care you know like it is what it is like for me I can I'm one of those people that I could like literally probably deal with public embarrassment I think the bigger fear for me is how I feel about my partner like how am i feeling about you after this is how like am i going to be able to look at you the same you know like it makes it harder with people in your business though and that's why i do believe privacy is important but like i said i feel like we have to be real about like how do me and the person feel like let's drown out the noise of everybody else because people are always going to say something even if you're not public even if you're not a public figure just people in the streets like oh her man or her she did this and he did that like people always want to talk because people always want to find a reason why your shit is not better than theirs yeah um okay so we're gonna get into our segment this is the more or less segment brought to you by price picks where you can win real cash by playing just more or less on your favorite players Use code TAD and get $50 instantly in lineups when you play your first $5. Okay, so we're going to talk about Little Boosie. So Little Boosie recently said on, like he was on a show or something, and it's a viral clip, but he was like, I don't care what no one says, I need a woman. And he was like, I feel like men need women more than they like to admit that they do, and not just sexually he was like sometimes i just want my woman around to lay up with um he just values a woman's presence and he just feels like a woman just gets there gets his shit together like gets him feeling better motivated gets his life cracking and like just her presence alone just brings that energy um and a lot of women are like the clip is going viral because a lot of women and are like, okay, damn, we don't hear men talking like that as often anymore. What are your thoughts? You know, it's to each his own, you know, and, you know, just like, I think in Boosie's case, you know, he getting a little older, so he like, you know, he ain't doing the same things he used to do, and he like, you know, I need that. You know, I need that comfort. You know, women do bring comfort to the man when it's the right one. It depends on the woman. Like he said, it can't be any old woman just for sex and all that. It got to be one that bring comfort, emotional stability, that just uplift you, keep you motivated, things of that nature. And, you know, some men need that little kick in the ass, you know, from a woman. You know, sometimes men aren't self-motivated and, you know, get into a place in their life to where, you know, depression starts kicking in, and a woman can uplift you. And I get what he's saying. In a certain space in your life, you wanna feel that. Cause as men we don wanna be ones that to die alone You want somebody that gonna take care of you uplift you emotionally physically all of those things so i get what he saying you know and we provide that but you just think that that's an older man thing you don't think that all men like a lot of men feel that you just of all ages feel exactly what say it say it again again like it's just simple like that women presence i just don't think people need a woman i don't think women need a man it's a want regardless of like if you're independent if you're independent and you in peace with yourself listen i lived my whole life and my with my mom as a single parent and she didn't get married until she was like 70 you know and so i come up to see like damn my mama didn't need no man. She didn't need it, but it would have made her life easier if she would have had the two-parent household. She wanted that. But we're not like your... I don't think we should fix it on the needer one. I'm just talking about... It is a needer one. No, I'm just talking... I don't think anyone needs anything except oxygen and health to keep leaving. People need that. People need a woman. It's hard for people to be alone. Yeah, but... It really is a need for some people, for a lot of people. It's not. It's never a need. It really is. You can make it happen, but the point is... It is a need. You talk to people like people need that stimulation from a woman. Men actually, like my cousin, he wanted and needed. But you're the one who just said you don't think anyone needs a woman or man. You know you just said that, right? I said wanted and needed. Yeah, you said you don't think anyone needs a woman or man. I don't think people should need that. People want that. So what are you saying right now? Because nothing you just said made sense. It does make sense. No, you just said... Do you know what you just said? Yeah, I know what I just said. Okay. All right. I know exactly what I said, yeah. I'm so confused. Like, we don't need it, but we want it. But then there's some people that actually need it. You just said you don't think anybody needs a man or a woman. But there's some people that need it. All right. That's what I'm saying. But that's not the question I was asking. I was just asking, do you feel like that's just an older man thing? People who value a woman's presence. We're not talking about needs or wants. We're saying, Lucy said he values a woman's presence. He loves having a woman around because he feels like it makes his life better. He's not saying he needs it. He's just saying, I value it. I feel like it makes me feel better. It makes me feel uplifted. It makes me feel like someone who's there laying up with me. like just the, he said that the presence of a woman just makes his stock go up in his mind. And you were saying like, yeah, I feel like an older, if you're older, if you're this, or that's him, but I'm saying, do you not think that that's like men of all ages can feel that way? You just think that that's just what older men feel. Oh, that's a tough one. I mean, I think older men more than younger men. Yeah, I mean, just, you know, that's his what he wants, that's what he feels makes him whole. Because when you've had it and you've lost it and you ain't got it no more, it's just like, damn, I need that. I want that. And that's not all men. But for him, he see how he is with a woman compared to without a woman. And that's what makes me feel like the reason he's saying these things. Okay. Thank you to our good friends at PrizePix, America's number one sports pick app. Use code TAD and get $50 instantly in lineups when you use your first $5. So anyways, back to what we were talking about. There's a study that reveals women are exhausted from explaining a basic emotional needs to men, like listening and empathy. I feel like I get it. I get it 100%, but I feel like this is kind of what we just talked about earlier. I feel like men and women just need to do a better job of understanding each other. Communicating. And communicating. And this is the other study shows that people who avoid hard and tough conversations are more likely to cheat or disconnect. I can agree with that because I feel like I never cheated, but I feel like if I can't have conversations with someone and feel like it could be productive without it being like a shutdown or turn into an argument about things that I'm feeling, I've noticed that I will hold a bunch of shit in because I'm like, I don't want to feel like I'm nagging her. I know this person doesn't want to hear this. So I'll just hold it and then that will make me like slowly disconnect because I'll be like, well, I have all these things that I'm holding that could probably be a simple conversation, but I'm afraid to say anything because I don't want it to turn into an argument or the person shuts down or the person gets mad. Like when it's just really me trying to talk about like basic things that I feel, you know? It's not basic though. that ain't basic. If you feel that, it's not basic. And if you're going to get through it, sometimes it may take an argument. Let it all out. See, in team sports, and I've been on good and bad teams, like when it's bad, and this is the same as a relationship, you have a team meeting. All right, everybody air it out. What you ain't feeling about him, him, him, why we ain't winning, why we ain't doing this. And you got to be able to have those arguments and those conversations to get it all out. You're going to feel better. It can't be, I don't want to say it, and then I emotionally get detached. No, I know that's wrong. Yeah, I know that's wrong. That's so wrong in so many ways. I know that's wrong. The only way you can heal and move forward is you might have to argue, and you might sometimes have to yell and scream or nag and all of that shit. I mean, you would hope, though, that, like... That's what come with it. But you would hope that the thing is, is, like, I feel like people, like, are not receptive sometimes. Like, it doesn't have to be an argument. Like, some conversations, it's not even an argument. It's just like, hey, this is how I've kind of been feeling about this thing or that thing and it's been kind of making me feel this way and instead I've noticed this happened in my past relationships I'll be completely honest and I think that this is one of like my red flags that I've done is like I'll just hold a bunch of shit that's like little shit but it's like making me feel a way or I feel weird and then I'm just like carrying it carrying a bunch of shit I'll let it slide I'll let it slide I'll let it slide and then one day I'm like letting someone decide that I literally emotionally disconnect and then they're like what's wrong like you don't seem that's so bad it is it's something that i do yeah you know why it's bad on so many levels because when you don't let it out to him you let it out to your home girl and now you allow other people in your relationship to to say oh well you don't need to be doing this and you don't and that's so that's that's when the other shit creep in when when you don't talk about it to your partner you for sure talking about it to your friend for sure every girl is talking about Not necessarily. It's like 100, because what are y'all talking about? Oh, my God. Y'all always talk about each other's relationships. That's not true. That's what men think. But there's a lot of stuff we talk about. We could do a poll. Even for me... How many women talk about their relationship to their friends? I understand that. 99.9% of them. But let me say this. Some people, not every woman has a homegirl that's like, fuck him, don't do this, don't do that. It ain't that. Me personally... It ain't the F yous and all that. It's the opening up to them to allow the negativity to creep in from the friend. But what I'm saying is... You ain't got to deal with that. But what I'm saying is not everyone... If I was you... Not everyone has the homegirl that's negative. Like, people have safe spaces. Like, I have a sister who's been married, and if I have to talk about something, I'll talk to her because she'll... My sister and some of my friends will straight up be like, you're wrong. Or why aren't you talking to him and giving him the opportunity to change it? Like, you're tripping. like I have I have very I've been lucky and I know not all women are lucky to have that there's a lot of what you're saying is really 100 true women will open up to their friend and the friend will be like girl f him you don't need to be dealing with that anyways and then now that's in their head and then they're carrying all the stuff and then they explode you know so I think you're right and I do think the reason I I said it is because I do think that it's not a good look to do that I agree with you. I think I'm admitting that that has been my fault in my past relationships. I'm trying to work on that now, but I for sure have been someone to avoid the harder conversations or the tough conversations because I didn't want to disrupt something or I felt like, you know, I don't want this person to be like, she always is saying something or da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. So I'm just like, let me just shut up. Let it slide, let it slide, let it slide. But then that makes you get pushed away further from the person And you're just kind of like, uh, like, I don't feel safe here. I don't feel like I can talk about stuff. So I'm just kind of like closed off. And then you have things that are not met, like unmet things, because the person doesn't really know. So I feel like it's fair to give them the opportunity and a chance to hear you out at least. And after that, you go from there, you know? But like, I do think it's not right. I'm not saying that it's right to move like that. Yeah. Yeah. So YK Osiris, you know who that is? Yeah, I do. He recently said, and it's like a viral thing. He said, I'm not going to lie. I don't feel like a woman is obligated to cook or clean without a ring. Go get a cleaner or a maid. So a woman is not obligated to cook or clean. Without a ring. Without a ring. Yeah. So that's what he valued. I mean, if that's his thing and then, you know, he gets into a relationship and he don't like that no more, then it's like, damn. You know, if he wants, you know, certain guys is like, hey, I'll get a maid for you. I'll get a cook for you. That's his thing. You know, he got the means to do it. Hey, that's on you. You know what I'm saying? Ain't nothing wrong with that. Everybody got their little standards and what they, you know. My thing, though, is, well, a lot of, like, if a man is financially contributed in helping you and taking care of you, then I think that it's like, how do we expect men to do things that a husband would do, but you're not doing anything that a wife would do unless you have a ring? My opinion is, is like, if he's doing things, you should be doing things. Y'all should be reciprocating. If he got the means to do those things, then who cares? Like, you don't, that ain't what he got. He value other things. He value sex probably more or these other things more or whatever. Like, but he, like, if that's, that's minor. That's minor actually. So that ain't no big deal if he don't require a woman to cook or clean without the ring. But what if he give her the ring because she can't cook or clean, and that's what he won't? Then what? I mean, that's the only thing I'll say about that. Like, what if you want your wifey to cook and clean when she get the ring? If she ain't done it before the ring, why do you expect her to do it with the ring? Yeah, I get that. That's what I'm saying, though. So, like, say you don't require a woman to cook or clean, period. Don't say don't. You have to throw the ring in there. Well, he's basically saying you shouldn't do wifely things when you ain't a wife. You got to do wifely things to get wife. Period. You can't do girlfriend things and expect to get wife. Wifey things have to be done before you get wife. How do I know you're a wifey? Yeah, I agree with that. Come on now. So India Love recently went online and people are like getting on her about it because she said that she never wants a man. she never wants to hear a man ask about how much something costs or about discounts. She said it's the biggest turnoff you can ever do is to, like, say, oh, is this a discount or how much is this? She said that's just, like, disgusting. It's a turnoff. Like, that makes a man completely undesirable to her. Yeah, because she don't value the money like a man if a man is doing that. It's motherfucking billionaires that's out there doing that. Yeah, it is. I know that for a fact. Like, so what if he a billionaire then? You know, but that's how you keep your billions. That's how you keep your millions if you're doing stuff like that. So you got to value money and you got to value the long term of the money. Because like this, I'm going to do this my rest of my life. What if I can't maintain this? What if I got a good deal? The reason people as billionaires is because they sought deals. You understand that? Yeah, exactly. They got the best deal. That's the reason they got the money. so she got to understand that part of it like why would i get this six million dollar house and living in and don't use all this space i got when i can get this other house where i'm using space and this is all i need yeah for sure i have money to do other things so you know women they get caught up in the look of how everything looks that is the most ridiculous thing i've heard No, I'm just, can I finish? Yeah, go ahead. Sorry, I thought you were done. No, when we get caught in the way things look on the outside, like, oh, why is my man, we had the store shopping, and he asked how much this costs. Like, ugh, that's a turnoff? No. What if I can get something better for cheaper? And I could do something else with this money. You know what I'm saying? But, you know, women like India, you know, she wants the guy, the breadwinner, the guy with a lot of money to just be in there. Like, price don't matter for her. I'm going to spend it. Then what happens when he go broke? Then she on to the next. Period. So, I mean, it is what it is. That's what she wants. I mean, that's cool. You know, but like when you, it's cool when you young. You know what I'm saying? I didn't understand it either until when I started getting older. I'm like, man, it's got to last the rest of my life. why do I gotta floss and have the best of the best every time? Like, damn, it don't even make sense. A lot of times I'm getting stuff and then it go in the trash or I don't use it no more. But it was cool at the time, you know? Like, I could be in a bigger house than I'm in now, but like, why? I don't need all that space. You know what I'm saying? And it took a while for me to understand that. Like, I was living like that for a long time, and then it was just like I'm in a house and I got a five-bedroom. I don't even use these rooms. I don't even go in this room. I don't even go, I don't use this. And I'm like, damn, that's a waste. All right. So, you know, I'm just like, sure, I could be using this money to do other stuff with it. You know, I could use this extra, invest in this now. So, I mean, you know, it is what it is. Everybody is titled to what they want and what they believe in, so whatever. Cool. Okay. So Claudia Jordan... Claudia Jordan was on Nick Cannon's podcast with her best friend, and they spoke about... The homie Claudia, what's up? They spoke about passing around their exes or guys that they've dated. So, like, basically, the best friend was telling a story about how she was looking at this guy. So she Googled him and saw that he was on the red carpet with Claudia Jordan. And so she sent it to Claudia and was like, so you used to talk to him? And she's like, yeah, but you can have him. and they just like she was like we've done that a lot of times with men so nick cannon said that this character standards are in hell he was like i don't like that because that just means where's the character where's the this i mean is nick cannon want to talk because he'd be doing all type of stuff i don't know but me personally i get it to a certain degree to where it's like if i don't care about a man at all my hunger really what's about if someone asked me like I'll look at you I'll never do that I'll never want nobody else's like someone who my homegirl messed with can I finish I never wanted someone else that I messed with man but I think that if my homegirl like really wanted a man that I used to deal with then you can have him what does deal with mean? Messed around dated. They do that all the time like not just sex but like dated there's no boundaries like you can date the man you used to date if it was your man man i get it but like she's probably talking about oh i messed around with him like and then they were on the red carpet together they messing around all right like guys do it all the time uh women do it all the time as we hear here but like when it gets to a certain point like oh we went out on a few dates and everything and messed around well there's no substance in that but like damn, what if she ran into him and they hit it off and it felt good and, you know, maybe that's all she wanted. Maybe most of the time that's just a sexual thing. You know, and then maybe it can turn into a relationship. But, like, women be like, oh, he was a good time, girl. Go ahead. Men will do the same thing. I mean, I've never personally done that. Like, hey, she was a good time. Go ahead, dog. But women do it and men do it. I know men that do it like, here, yeah, she was a good time. I don't know. I ain't no feelings. It was just a good time. and you know I see it I see it all happen all the time I personally like don't ask me you don't have to ask me like why are you asking me if you know it was just some work because that was just pretty much work at that point oh it wasn't just work but if it was just like my girl or somebody that's when I feel like that's like nah I ain't feeling that like that was my girl and everything now the homie you want to be with my girl but it's on her too why are you participating in it too so I'm like you tell me about your character now. If you knew I know this dude and I kicked him and you was my girl, you're telling me a lot about you. And now I'm off not only him, I'm off you too. Why were you ever on them if that was your ex? What's that? What do you mean you're off of them? No, I'm off like if my boy or somebody I'll kick it with or hang with when I hang out with my ex and then say the feeling is mutual and say we still had a cool friendship or whatever, I'm off both y as a friend Why are you friends with your ex What if I single Still why is anyone friends with their ex What if I single Okay then you get in a relationship and then you cut that person off. Say I'm single and I'm still friends with my ex. What's wrong with that? Is there, like, if you're single, you not friends with your ex? No, I'm not friends with my ex. Like, what does friendship mean? Like, we'll call you, we talk here and there, but we ain't nothing going on. But like, now we go from that, we call you a week to talk, text, hey, happy birthday, all this. but now it go from that to like nothing. I don't want to hear nothing. Texting, happy birthdays. I don't want to hear happy birthdays. I'm single. Listen to what I'm saying. I'm single. I could say to my ex, happy birthday. I could say whatever if I'm not in a relationship. But if you decide that you want to get with my boy and you feel cool enough to get with it and we was happy birthday, you're not getting nothing from me now. It's no more friendship. It's no more nothing from neither one of y'all. Yeah, I feel like for me, I don't, but that's different. Everyone's different. And some people stay friends with their ex. I don't really stay friends with an ex, to be honest, because, like, you know, there was feelings there and there was stuff involved. So it was just for me, it's like, you know, I'd rather.

So Halle Berry recently said that she feels like women should stop faking orgasms because it's putting men's needs before your own, basically. is putting a man's needs before your own by faking the orgasm. Well, I remember when you said one time that most women don't have orgasms. Yeah, a lot don't. And a lot will, some will fake it because they feel bad and they want to just make a man feel like he's doing that, you know? So a lot of women do fake orgasms where they think, a lot of men think they are giving women orgasms and they're not. So she's basically saying like, we should, and there's a lot of women who do orgasm but they are just with someone who's either like learned their body or they taught them or whatever the case is. So there she's basically saying like you should stop faking the orgasm because you shouldn't be putting his needs before yours. That means that he thinks he made you come. He didn't. And now you're just trying to like do it to get him going and making him feel like better about himself. I don't think nothing wrong with that. get him going uplift your man what's the point that's uplift your man uplift your woman by making her come well tell him how to do it if he ain't doing it show him how to do it yeah but like like if you're gonna keep faking it and be disappointed tell him how to do it like do he know or can he is he capable it's a conversation then yeah I feel like a lot of women fake it I don't fake that at all because I just don't but I just think that women do and I get it. You just want to feel like, okay, whatever, like you satisfied. It is harder for a lot of women to reach that. You know what I mean? And so I feel like it is on the woman to teach the man. It's also, I feel like, on the man to like, be on it on like, what should I do, babe? What do you want? Like, da-da-da-da-da. So I think it's both ways because I even think with women, I think men should, like, I feel like women do stuff with men and they really like it's cool, but they like it a certain way or something different too. So I think both parties have to be more vocal about what they like. Well, why the man got to be vocal? He's not the one faking it. She is. No, I'm saying for his pleasure too, like what he likes. Yeah, most men, or 99% of the men, they're going to... No, they are, but I'm saying... They're going to get to where they need to go. No, I know they're going to get there, but I'm saying... A lot of times when they ain't even known a woman, it's on him. Yeah, I'm not even saying that. I'm just saying, like, I feel like both parties, like, can instruct or tell the person, like, what they like more, basically. Yeah, what you like more. Yeah, of course. Yeah, but I feel like it could be awkward, I guess, for a woman because it's like, how do you even tell a man, like, you know, I think a lot of women struggle with that. And we've talked about that when Sham Boudram was on our show about just how to approach that scenario for a lot of women or whatever the case may be on how to be satisfied or whatever. Because I think that there's like a stigma like, you know, as a as a woman, you have to make sure a man is not like just walking around here, not like satisfied or not like having sex or da da da da. But I don't think that men feel that way about women. they're just like oh they're good you know like i feel like men don't think about it like that like oh she's out here just like not getting you know cracking like getting her shit off so damn like men don't think about that about women i mean then when the woman take a man down you all take all our energy like damn like what you expect like you don't get no gravitation of taking your man down like y'all took him down but you know what you know what men don't realize you know how like if you had sex but you didn't come you still need to like get your shit out okay that's the same as a woman you know that well I'm telling you like men don't realize that men don't realize that that's the same as a woman like if a woman has sex and she doesn't she's still gonna be like turned on until she can get that out. You know what I mean? So, like, men don't realize, like, yes, you're satisfied by taking a man down, of course. But that doesn't mean you're not, like, physically. Yeah, for sure. But then women go out. That's why these sex shops is made for women. More so than men. So y'all go out and get y'all little devices and stuff, and y'all be like, all right, I'll take care of myself then. That's what women do. Women do that. Yeah, the women do do that. Yeah, they do. but men are men are okay with that they're just like whatever you can just go do your own thing I don't care to like figure it out women do that way more than men yeah of course because women are not coming men like you said are going to come 99% of the time a woman is not so it's different well it's easier for a man to get there than a woman yeah for sure 100% it's harder for a woman I mean when you even took down so many times, it's harder for the woman. What do you mean? I'll say what I mean. When a woman has so much intercourse with so many different men, it's harder for you. That's not true. You know that it's actually more easy for a woman to come the more sexual experience that she had because she's more in tune with her body. Do you think that we're coming when we first have sex? When we first have sex, it hurts and it's uncomfortable. You don't start enjoying sex until you're like more, you've had more sex, just so you know. So it's not about a woman's been taken down by so many men now she can't come. Matter of fact, women who are more sexually active come a lot quicker and know how to make themselves come a lot faster than women who are less sexually active. Okay. So that's a complete wrong statement all the way. Thanks for schooling me. No, because it is. You said that when Shan Boudreaux was on the show too, and she told you the same thing. It's wrong. Like, you think because she's broken now because she got too lit up. She got beat up so many times. That's not the truth. That's so, like, a juvenile thought. That's so untrue. I know. Okay.

Can Azar elaborate and Paul give insight on spinning the block on a relationship? If you left a relationship, what are your thoughts on possibly rekindling things with an ex? Why or why not? I've never done that personally. I've never broken up with a girl and got back with a girl. I'm just like, you know, I feel like the issues you had to make y'all break up, it's going to be the same issues you get back when you get back into it, thinking something's going to be different. I've never gotten back with an ex. I've never even entertained getting back with an ex. Like, hey, should we be together or any of that? I just feel like once it's over, it's over. But did you ever spin the block like you kind of, y'all slept together again, y'all booed up again? Slept together again, booed up again? You know how some people spin the block and just kind of like catch up high one night, two nights, here and there? No, no, no, and no. No, no, and no. I think for me, my answer to the question is I never did that either, but I will say that people can, there's a lot of things that can happen that I'm starting to realize as I mature, because I used to be really hell bent on like, never spin the block or whatever. But now like I've seen some people do this and I've seen this happen and maybe like you guys can take time apart and grow and change and like mature and realize like there were some things that we did wrong that could make us like get back together or whatever like maybe we were at the time I didn't really see where you were coming from but I I now do like if it wasn't a whole bunch of cheating and lying and it was just we broke up because the timing or because there were certain things that maybe were disrupting or we weren't in alignment I feel like you time might heal that and and and the work separate like being separated and doing the work separately and then being like, damn, we reconnected, we came back together. Also, I've seen people like maybe get in another relationship and then that made them appreciate the fact that like, wow, I thought I wanted this, but now I'm realizing like, yo, I really wanted what this was offering, you know? I've seen like a few situations in which that happened that kind of like changed my perspective on that. Like maybe you can, maybe you can. Yeah, I've seen it happen before. You know, yeah, maybe people can grow apart and then come back together and be like, okay, like we can make this work or whatever in like, you know, a few months or, you know, like a year, whatever the case may be. And now we're in a much better space. And, you know, I have a friend like that and she's now married to that man. They have kids and they've been married for a minute. So you never know, you know, like that's kind of how I look at it now. It can't end in disrespect. Once it ends in disrespect, most of them, most relationships, a lot of end in disrespect. But if you ain't in a good place at the time and you ain't feeling it right now and you get back, I get it. But when it ends in disrespect, there's no going back for me. Yeah, I get that. I get that. Thank you guys so much for joining another episode of The Truth Ever Dark. You guys were really upset about our last episode last week. I get it. I know you guys are so mad. For what? Because I was saying things about black men. I'm getting it. It's funny because my homegirl commented on one of the posts that I don't even talk to when she hit me up.

Tony Baker even commented on it and was just like, because he's so mature, but he was just like, I cheated. I've done things. I take responsibility in, like, traumatizing women and my part that I played in this. And they're attacking him. And he's going back and forth in the comments about it, like, damn, bro, just take accountability. So I respect him for that. Always shout out to him.
