Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Illusion of Endless Options (04:00 – 07:53)

• Swipe Culture & Exhaustion: The hosts lament the “swipe culture” of dating apps, where infinite options make commitment harder.

  “People just believe that there’s a better person one swipe away.” – Cesar Faraday (04:00)

• Validation Through Social Media: Truth points out that constant online validation, especially for women, can complicate relationships and lead to unrealistic standards.

  “You meet somebody and it’s something completely different… from the perception of who you thought they were to who they really are.” – Truth (04:39)

Disconnection Between Online and Real-World Selves (05:54 – 07:13)

• False Personalities: Many appear vibrant online but are dry in person, leading to letdowns and a skewed sense of options.
• Risking Real Relationships for Fantasy: The temptation to respond to DMs from celebrities is high, but often means risking meaningful connections.

Relationship Privacy vs. Publicity (12:08 – 21:30)

• Posting Partners: The debate over making a relationship public on social media versus keeping it private for the sake of intimacy and to avoid outside negativity.

  “If you value privacy in your relationship, then don’t post it… But it, to me, doesn’t make or break a relationship.” – Cesar (12:35)

• Posting Imbalance as Red Flag: If only one partner posts about the relationship, it feels “burnt” or suspect.

  “If one person is posting and the other’s not, that’s weird to me.” – Cesar (18:12)

• Pressure to Post: Posting can be a contentious issue—sometimes leading to breakups due to feelings of being hidden.

Boundaries and Respect in Social Media Behaviors (26:36 – 29:57)

• Following the Opposite Sex: Cesar asserts she’ll unfollow anyone who makes her partner uncomfortable, and doesn’t believe in following strangers for attention.

  “Anyone who makes my man uncomfortable… it’s not worth it. If you make the person I’m with uncomfortable, you can get unfollowed today.” – Cesar (26:53)

• Thirst-Following Considered “Blowing”: Both find it a turn-off when their partner follows a lot of strangers, viewing it as thirstiness rather than admiration.

Meeting and Dating via Social Media (29:40 – 33:08)

• Reality Behind the DMs: Stories about dating people from social media show a disconnect between images and real life. Catfishing and edited profiles can be a big shock.

  “I have to be like, is this you?... Am I getting catfished?” – Truth (31:17)

• Physical Deception: From women’s makeup transformations to the infamous “hat fishing” guys, appearances online rarely tell the full story.

Traditional Roles and Leading in Relationships (36:04 – 41:44)

• Relationship Dynamics (e.g., Dion Sanders & Karrueche Example): Discussing whether women “running” the planning in a relationship is a reversal of traditional roles.

  “Women are better at organizing. Men, we go to work, we make the money, and be like, ‘here’s the money.’... That’s traditional.” – Truth (38:33)

• Balance and Compromise: Ultimately, taking the lead should ebb and flow based on comfort, with mutual respect forming the foundation.

Gift-Giving, Exes, and Boundaries (43:33 – 52:25)

• Jewelry and Gifts from Exes: Debate over whether it's appropriate to continue wearing gifts from past partners, especially jewelry.

  “If a man tells me straight up, ‘don’t wear this necklace no more,’ I’m not gonna wear it at all, period.” – Cesar (46:18)

• Double Standards Noted: There's acknowledgment of shifting stances and double standards depending on the item (e.g., a watch vs. jewelry vs. a car).
• Replacement is Key: If a man requests a woman stop wearing jewelry from an ex, he should replace it.

[Cesar Faraday]

[Cesar Faraday]

So recently, some people have been talking about the exhaustion of just modern dating and how they feel like modern dating is so difficult now because of the swipe culture. Like, you can just swipe and find someone and the endless options. And they're like, people just believe that there's a better person one swipe away.

[Truth]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

What do you go about that?

[Truth]

It is. Relationships are harder than ever now.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

Because women, I feel like, need to be feeling validated a lot.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay.

[Truth]

You know, especially like if you're in a relationship and you're constantly on social media being validated every day about how you look and your vibe and your, you know, people think they can see who you are through your social media, who the essence of you really are, when 99% of the time, most of the time, that's not you. You know, it's like dating a Hollywood actor. Damn near. Like, you see what you see online, then you meet somebody and it's something completely different, not only from the look, but from who you really think who you thought they were, from the perception of who you thought they were to who they really are. And that's what makes dating so difficult. You know, we miss the old school values of actually going up to a woman, talking to her, getting the number talking instead of hitting her in her dms and, you know, just assuming that, you know what this person's like. Because people look at a girl, a woman or whatnot, be like, that's my type. I'll marry her. Like, dude, you don't even Know who this person is? This could be some type of serial killer, psychopath or what? It's not really what you think it is.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, people do do that. Like, even in my DMs, you, like so many men, are always like, I will marry you, I will make you my wife. I will never cheat on you. I will never do anything. And it's like, you don't even know me. First of all, you don't even know who I am from a can of paint. So at the end of the day, it's just like. What I believe is we live in this false reality of options because you think that there's so many people available. But then once you really see what's going on out there, you'll be like, damn, this is crazy. You know what I mean? Like, you'll meet someone, you're like, oh, this person looks popping. And then you meet them and the energy and the vibe is just dry and they're just like, not it at all. You know what I'm saying? And it's crazy because I've also seen so many people have personalities online, and then in real life, they're just not giving that, you know? So I feel like people are taking the real ones that they have in their life for granted because they have a false sense of reality when it comes to who is available to them. You know what I mean? Or women will get a DM from Drake and we risk it all and. And it's like, baby, you gonna risk a real relationship with a real man that actually wants to build with you for a man who is never, ever gonna take you seriously?

[Truth]

Absolutely. It's scarier than ever for the simple fact that us as men, us as a society, it's like, you'll give up on somebody so much quicker.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, absolutely.

[Truth]

So much faster. Because you just feel like you all social media just. It provides you with a backup plan. I feel like, yeah, you know, people go to social media, be like, I got a girl. But then in social media, you. You hanging on to Whoever you've been DMing and whoever you've been liking and all of that. So when that go bad, it's always a plan B seed and D. Like, damn.

[Cesar Faraday]

But it's not. It's not a real. It's not real, though, because it's like you can have a plan A, B, C and D, and then people ain't nothing. They're not going to give you that connection. Like, people don't understand how rare it is to have a real connection in a Real. If that's something you value, if you value actually being with someone that you can vibe with and connect with and do shit with, then you just having all these options of who looks good or who might be popping or who might spend money on you or who might do this, that's only going to last for so long. Those are. Those are not. That's not real. That's not a real connection.

[Truth]

So, so what's like, you say we're losing our traditional values. Like, what's. What's an idea? Like, relationship? Or what's an idea?

[Cesar Faraday]

Like an idea.

[Truth]

An idea of a relationship? Like, with social media? Because I heard. I heard a lady say that her man said, hey, you know, I'm not deleting my social media for us to be together. I'm not deleting my exes. Like, you know, even though we together. Like, is that like, what is that?

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, Wait, what do you. I don't get what you're saying.

[Truth]

No, no, like, so, like, social media has played a part in a lot of breakups because, you know, a lot of people build their platform on social media, and then they get in a relationship and they be like, well, I want you to erase those pictures of your ex. Or, I don't want you doing those pictures anymore. You know what I'm saying? And it's like, bro, or mostly the guy. It's like, hey, you like this? This is what drew me to you, so why should I erase that? You know what I'm talking about? You understand what I'm saying? Like, if a guy, you have a relationship, you with a man, he said, I don't like those pictures. I want you to, like, take the twerking off. You know, you got a man now. I don't want to see you half naked in flex.

[Cesar Faraday]

Well, people have to understand who they got in a relationship with. So people try to get someone and then they're going to try to change them. You can't change someone. You men, you. Like, that's like getting with a stripper and being like, I don't want you to dance anymore. Like, I'm a hoe at heart, baby. Like, that's who I am. You can't change who I am at heart. Like, people get with people and they realize, like, oh, they don't like that now. Like, and some women, you know, that's who they are. Like, they have to that their whole page. If you get a woman, their whole page.

[Truth]

No, I'm validating you. You don't need that validation no more.

[Cesar Faraday]

It don't matter. That's who she was. If every minute she's twerking and doing all of that, that's what she was doing. And that's different than like maybe a woman. Like, I've been in a relationship where it's like, I don't want you to post any pictures of yourself. Not a selfie, not a video that's controlling. And he would be hot, like, and it could just be like this smile, just like one day, feeling it, just smiling, vibing. And it would be like messages, like, what is wrong with you? Like, take this down immediately. All of this, right? So I would take it down, whatever. But I just feel like Devon Franklin, which is Megan Good's ex husband, he recently actually was on preaching somewhere because he's a preacher. Whatever he got going on, right. He already remarried to a new woman. But mind you, he said he was talking about how when he was with Megan Good, which is messy to me because why are you preaching and then being messy? But anyways, he's like, I was with. When I was with her, you know, I'm asking her to take down all these pictures that I feel are thirst traps. And he's like, you already trapped the thirsty man here. Me? Like, I'm. Are you already trapped me? And he said she would not want to take it down. And he said he had a problem with that because he felt like that's what got me. What. What are you doing posting all these thirst traps now? Who are you trying to get or appease? Right? So, I mean, I feel like when it comes to a relationship, you should be respectful of that. Like, of what you're posting and how you're posting it. But you also have to understand that if you're getting with a woman who is constantly half naked on her Instagram and twerking on her Instagram, like, understand the type of woman that you're with, you know?

[Truth]

Yeah. What's your thoughts on, like, couples, like, posting, like, revealing they relationship? Like, you think making their relationship kind of public. Like, is that a good thing? Is it like validating you or is it a bad thing? Because now, you know people are coming for your woman or coming for your man. Like, you know, what's your thoughts on that? Like, you know, like, you know what I'm saying?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, I know what you're saying. I feel like for me, you know, I've done that before. Like, I've been in a relationship where I posted my ex and we posted each other. You know what I'm saying? I Mean, I feel like it wasn't a big deal, maybe because I wasn't. I mean, it's not like we were. Neither of one of us are like a celebrity or no one really cares. Like, it was just the people that we knew. And it just was easy because, like, we would kick it with family and stuff or different things, and we would take a group photo and then we would post it together. Like, or people would tag us or we'll be at an event and then they post us. Like, it was just more say, not like just naturally coming about. So it wasn't really like something we were just like trying to hide. But, you know, I don't know. I feel like it just depends on what you've, like, what you care about or what you value. Like, if you value privacy in your relationship, then don't post it. If you feel like you don't really care or you don't feel like hiding it or you want to like, not care about trying to be like. Because once you're in a full blown relationship, sometimes too, it kind of starts to get tricky to like, continue to be like, don't post that because I'm in the background. Or don't, you know, like, it gets like, okay, I can't keep living like this. You know, I'll post something if they know, they know type of thing. But I feel like it, to me, it doesn't make or break a relationship either. Like, if you're gonna post them, you're gonna post them. If you're not, you're not. Like, I also don't like the fact of, like, what I hated is when me and him broke up, it was like taking those pictures down, it just feels crazy, you know? And then like, even me, like, I, he, I took the pictures down and then he took his pictures down and then you're hurt, you know, like, you're, you guys feel hurt because y' all did that and then it's like officially over and then everyone's looking and then all of a sudden all these men are on you thirsty. But I will say that man, I have noticed, are much more respectful when you are in a relationship and you post that. I'm actually shocked by that. Cardi B talked about that. Like, she said when she was with Offset and she was married, men would be respectful, but women are more thirsty for the man and the men are less thirsty for the woman. Like, when I had my man up there, it was just like, nah, they wasn't hitting me up like that, honestly. But I felt like he was getting more bitches.

[Truth]

Damn.

[Cesar Faraday]

You know what I'm saying? Because I'm like.

[Truth]

I'm like, I don't. I don't like to post relationships. Like, all right, if you married and everything, but I just feel like. I feel like that's for us.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, I get that.

[Truth]

You know what I'm saying? I don't need to be with my chick, showing y' all we on the beach or we had dinner or we doing this. It's just. Let's just. I like to keep that stuff private. Nobody need to be in my business. It's like a certain part of you in this day and time that you want to keep to yourself.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

Because I just feel like everything is so much more revealing. People just want to know your everyday life, your everyday, you know, where you eat, where you sleep, where you go, who you hang with and all of that. And like, you know, I don't. I don't post that stuff. Like, I don't post my friends. If I do, it's every blue moon. You know what I'm saying? Because I just feel like people be watching. You really got people who stalk you, who. People who follow your every move. And I just think some things need to be held sacred to where everybody is not all up on you. And then it opens the door for criticism, too. You're like, I don't wanna post my girl. And everybody, oh, she's terrible. Or, I don't even wanna open that can of worms. Or, why you with her? Oh, she's a hoe. Like, you don't know who this is. It just opens up so much other things for the relationship. And then girls, oh, he's this. He was with me. This just opens up much more for hate.

[Cesar Faraday]

You know, I actually had, like, something end a little bit because they were like, you're hiding me and you won't post me on social media. And I was like, really? Like, damn. Like, for real. And it was just like, yeah, like, you. I don't. I'm too grown to be hidden. I'm too grown to feel like a secret. Like, I feel like you're trying to hide me on purpose and it doesn't feel good for me. And I'm like, damn. You know, like. And, you know,

[Truth]

it

[Cesar Faraday]

sucked because I just was like, I'm not ready to do that. So I guess he posted you. No, because I said I didn't want that. So it was just more say. Because I'm saying I don't want that. You know what I mean? And at the Time I had my other podcast, and, like, it was more, say, like, you're not mentioning me. You're not saying nothing. You know what I'm saying?

[Truth]

Like, you could have just been like, I want to keep our sacred.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah. And it didn't work. It was like. Like, I'm cool. And it was really, like, we ended, like, on that because of that.

[Truth]

Yeah, that was like. It put a crack into the.

[Cesar Faraday]

It put a crack. It was like. It was like they were trying to, like, keep it. Like, I felt like it was like, I'm trying to understand and understand and understand why you keep not wanting to be say anything or even on. You're making it seem like you're, like, single or whatever.

[Truth]

If I post you and you don't post me, that's, like, cheating. What you think?

[Cesar Faraday]

I don't think that's cheating. And. But one thing. But what I don't like is if I'm like, go to a woman's page and she has her man all up there, and then I go to his page and he has no pictures, I'm like, I can't live like that.

[Truth]

Is that a red flag?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, that's weird. If one person is posting and the other is not, that's weird to me. I don't like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not doing that.

[Truth]

It should be. Y' all both doing it or you're not doing it. Really?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, I think so. I think so. Because I. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna. I'm not gonna do live like that. You know what I'm saying?

[Truth]

That's interesting.

[Cesar Faraday]

I'm not gonna be having someone on my page, and then you go to their page and they look single. No, that's gonna blow me. I'm not doing that. Because now it's like, oh, I'm promoting the fact that I'm in a relationship and I'm taken, and you're promoting the fact that you're not. Like, and it looks burnt to me. I'm not. I don't. I'm never doing that, because I think

[Truth]

that's a conversation that needs to be had. Like, we're going to be doing this together or not.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

But, like, gotta be one way or the other.

[Cesar Faraday]

People get serious about those things, though. Like, my ex, like, he would be like, post this picture of us. And I'm like, okay. And I remember I posted on the story, he was like, on your permanent page. Like, no.

[Truth]

What are you.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, you're blowing permanent.

[Truth]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, I don't want To.

[Truth]

That's like cheating. If he, if he ask you. If your man asks you, I feel like you got to do it.

[Cesar Faraday]

And I did do it, but it's just like you're. You're blowing me. Like, why are you forcing this?

[Truth]

But if you hesitant to do it, that's it. It wasn't because of creeps into his head.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, yeah, it creeps into his head, but it's like it's not even the reasons you think. Like, I just sometimes I don't want to post this picture. I'm not feeling this picture. Like, I just don't like. And I feel like that was a constant thing. Like, that has been an issue in a lot of my relationships, to be honest with you, is like those postings and being feeling like they're hidden and feeling like they don't wanna. And it's like I just think I'm more say fearful because I don't want to be embarrassed and look stupid as because I have like, you know what I'm saying? I don't want to keep looking crazy and having these relationships now. You didn't see me in three different relationships on the Instagram. You know what I mean? I'm not saying that's me. Like, they have not. But I'm just saying that's the point. Like, who wants to just keep posting something and then what if it ends? Like, I don't have time for that.

[Truth]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

You know, like, that's blowing me. Okay, so I. I don't know. But I do think, like, if I'm in a relationship and someone's like, at this point, if they're like, you're hiding me, you have to post me because I don't. I'm gonna end it type thing. I would probably just post them and just.

[Truth]

I don't think that's worth ending.

[Cesar Faraday]

I don't think it's worth ending the relationship because you feel hidden. You're too grown to feel hidden. Like you're not even hiding the person. Especially if everyone. In real life, I think people get so. This is why social media is a. People get so caught up on social media, but in real life, you could know every single person, boot up family, this, that, that hitting it. But that's not enough.

[Truth]

Four is good.

[Cesar Faraday]

You think like, once a week you should go on a date.

[Truth]

That's good. That's healthy.

[Cesar Faraday]

That's a healthy, like, yeah, you plan

[Truth]

it out once a week.

[Cesar Faraday]

What are the dates, though? Like, is it more of like, we have to go to an activity and dinner? Is it more like we could just order food and watch a movie? Like, what do you consider a date?

[Truth]

A date is just anything y' all do. I feel that's intimate and about y', all, too. Cause a date can be like, pull up. I'm gonna make you some food and some wine at the crib. That's a date. You know, it's intimate, you know? So, like, if y' all make it a point to be intimate at least once a week minimum, you know, I think that's minimal. Four times. That's once a week at least, you know? Cause I don't mind sitting around with you, watching tv, doing all this other stuff, you know, you busy. We both busy. Yeah, but we gotta make it a point at least once a week minimum, to, like, let's make this intimate to where we're, like, sharing time, just me and you. And this is what we're gonna do. Whether it's dinner, movies, bowling activity. It's an activity together. Once a week is. Is good.

[Matt Rogers]

Okay.

[Cesar Faraday]

And what about going on vacations?

[Truth]

Vacation.

[Cesar Faraday]

Vacations. Yeah, vacation.

[Truth]

Twice a year.

[Cesar Faraday]

Twice a year.

[Truth]

It's cool. Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay.

[Truth]

Yeah. I think twice a year you gotta make it a point to say, hey, we need to get away. I think it's gonna be refreshing. Cause it's. I feel like when you go on a vacation, it refreshes the relationship. You get away, and it's only thing that you can think about. It's all about just y' all two for the whole time when you're home, you know, you got other things to deal with. Friends, family, whatever you're into. When you're away, it's just about you for those two, three, four days or whatever you doing. And I think it's healthy, you know? Cause then you realize, man, you really love that person. You away, y' all together every day, it's all about y'. All. For the most part, just doing activities and things of that nature. Y'. All. You don't think about none of the things or the problems or the drama that you got on. It's just for these next three days, we ain't gonna think about none of our problems. And that's refreshing if you can do that a couple times a year.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, but it's just a band aid. You're saying basically.

[Truth]

Nah, it's refreshing.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

You know, it's like, nah, it ain't no band aid. It's like, yo, we need to do this. You know, we need the mental sometimes. It ain't covering up problems. It's just like, I need to get away from my problems from right now. And it makes you. When you come back, it's easier to deal with them more. Cause, you know, like, I'm blessed. I have an opportunity to really go on a vacation with my one.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

You know, I'm thankful. A lot of people can't go on vacations twice a Year. I mean, maybe once a year they can. You know, twice a year is a lot, truthfully, for the average person.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

So, I mean, twice is good, though. Twice as refreshing. And it could be a staycation, too. That count as a vacation.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

You know, you can do that. So I think that's. That's more than one in the more or less segment.

[Cesar Faraday]

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay.

[Truth]

And he looks at your page and see all these. Are you. Are you. And he sees all these guys you follow.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay.

[Truth]

Is he. Are you opposed to, say, if he says, I want you to unfollow them?

[Cesar Faraday]

No, I'm not opposed. I want to follow anybody. Anyone who makes my man uncomfortable or the person I'm with uncomfortable. You could. It's not worth it. If you make the person I'm with uncomfortable. You can get unfollowed today.

[Truth]

Today, you can't have that many homeboys. Like, if you say, that's my cousin, that's my brother.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah. Like, if it's making you uncomfortable and you're weird. Like, first of, I don't follow nobody that I don't know, so I'm not following. Instagram's a man. Just because I'm. No, that's thirsty. And I hate anyone. Like, I don't want to be with a man who's fanning on women. Like, you're following women. You don't know you're a fan of them. That's blowing.

[Truth]

Me. I need to. I need to unfollow my. My, my, my. Shit. Ratchet. I need to unfollow. I need to. I need to unfollow a bunch of people. Like, I. It's just like, it's got to the point to where I'm like, damn, I don't even look at who I follow. And I know when I. When you know, during some times, I was just like, follow, follow, follow, follow.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, thirsty. Thirsty. Me personally, I don't have all that going on. I follow, like 600 people. And when I tell you I know most of these people, and if I don't know you, it's like fashion or architecture, like. Like that. Me personally, if my person is like, I don't want you following this person by unfollowed. Like, there's no one that's that important to cause, like, any Type of argument or any type of making my person feel uncomfortable. Like, nah, if you make it, you feel away. Cool, baby. I ain't got to talk to this person. I don't got to follow this person. I don't care who it is.

[Truth]

You know what I hate? Like, when you unfollow people you ain't talk to in a minute, as soon as you unfollow, they hit you up. Like. Like, you just gonna unfollow me.

[Matt Rogers]

Oh, yeah.

[Truth]

Like, why do people do that?

[Cesar Faraday]

I never experienced.

[Truth]

That's weird as hell. I ain't talked to you in years. As soon as I unfollow, you want to hit me?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah. I've never experienced that.

[Truth]

I can't, man. I'm about to, man. This weekend, I'm just gonna unfollow. Let's see what happened. I'm about to follow thousands of people. If you hit me up, I'm changing my number.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

I promise you that.

[Cesar Faraday]

I feel like. Yeah. I don't follow nobody crazy. I follow everybody that I follow. I know you. I'm not fanning out on nobody. And I don't. I don't do that. Like, and I'm. I'm cool on making my person feel uncomfortable. I. But I just. I'm. I wish social media sometimes, like, I'm glad it exists, but sometimes I'm just, like, when it comes to relationships, it kind of just makes things a little more difficult, in my opinion. You know? Like, you just live in this world now where it's like, even if you go through a breakup, then they're looking at your Instagram or you're looking at their stuff. People are doing subliminals and people are saying this. Like, I don't. I don't like none of that. Like, I feel like back in the day, if you broke up with someone, you don't ever look at them, see them ever again in your life.

[Truth]

How many dates have you been on? Off Instagram, off of Instagram, social media, whatever you want.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, I mean, social media.

[Truth]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Two.

[Truth]

Two.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

Yeah, Right?

[Amanda Knox]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

No, too. Why you don't believe that?

[Truth]

Because social media, everybody dates off social.

[Cesar Faraday]

No, because I met my ex on social media.

[Truth]

Okay.

[Cesar Faraday]

On Twitter. I don't even go on Twitter. I made a Twitter one day, and he, like, followed me or something. I followed him, and then he followed me, and then we DMed, and then he went to Instagram, and then we met.

[Truth]

Have you been also. You did. So I'm just trying to think, like, the people that you've Met how many times have. All right, so you dated twice off social media. Only two dates.

[Cesar Faraday]

Damn. I think so. I think so, yeah. How did they end up in relationships, both of them? Yeah.

[Truth]

That's your go to then?

[Cesar Faraday]

I mean, it just was. It just so happened to do that. Like, I. I can't. Like, I met two people off of Instagram, and yeah, I dated in a relationship.

[Truth]

Ended up being in a relationship with both of them.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Truth]

Dam.

[Cesar Faraday]

For sure I did. Yeah.

[Truth]

Oh, that's crazy. That's interesting.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, what about you?

[Truth]

Just one.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, one.

[Truth]

One.

[Cesar Faraday]

But yeah.

[Truth]

So I don't think I had. I went on. Let me see. How many dates have I been on. Off. Off social media? I could say probably like four or five, maybe.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, just.

[Truth]

And I think they only lasted. It was like, one day. Yeah, Like, I think it was just like, man, this is weak. I thought. And then a couple of them like, this is. I have to be like, is this you?

[Cesar Faraday]

No, that's crazy. That does happen.

[Truth]

This is you. Like, that's like, this ain't you. Like, this ain't. Am I getting catfished?

[Cesar Faraday]

No. Let me tell you something. You know, girls make, like, little friends off of social media. Like, oh, they're cool. Cool, right? I remember this girl followed me and I followed her back, and we would, like, like, and comment and everything. And I saw her out and she came up to me, and I swear on my life, I'm like, I could not believe. I cannot believe. And even to this day, I look at her pictures when she posts, and I'm like, how? Then she starts to trick me again. Like, maybe I was tripping. Maybe she does look like. Like, how do you look so good and different? And it doesn't even look like you're doing no whole bunch of stuff to your face. But when you see. When I seen her, it was the most opposite thing ever. I was so blown away. I was like, I can't understand how you look. I can understand, like, I know, woman. Where it's like, you look better. You look a little cool. You're done up on Instagram. But I see you and you're still, like, cool. Like, you know, whatever. This was night and day, and it blows me. And I'm like, I can't believe how different you look. Like, I was so nervous. I'm like, this is just crazy how people can make them look. I would be. No, that is just crazy to me.

[Truth]

That is crazy. Damn.

[Cesar Faraday]

And that's the other thing that you have to be afraid of with this Social media stuff is like, people look different, or men, they have hats on, and then they take their hat off and they have a hairline right here.

[Truth]

You could look totally different without that.

[Cesar Faraday]

I dated a man who had a hat on. All his pictures, not even pictures. This is real life. I met him, real life, hat on, everything. Like, we dated, went on some dates, and then I started to think, like, I ain't never seen this man with this hat on. And I was like, scaring me because I need to be able to see what is it given without the hat. So I remember one day, I was like, I never seen. Without your hat on. Like, you used to take your hat off. And he was like, yeah, no, I just wear my hat. And I was like, okay. And then he took it off and

[Truth]

you was off it.

[Cesar Faraday]

I was. I never talked to him again after that.

[Truth]

That's.

[Cesar Faraday]

Wow. I never talked to him again after that because it looks crazy. It was a whole different person.

[Truth]

Nah, that ain't no different from if a man go out with a woman and he'd just be like, you know what? I ain't never seen you without your makeup.

[Cesar Faraday]

Exactly. Yeah.

[Truth]

So can you take your makeup off?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

That's crazy.

[Cesar Faraday]

No, it is. It's like, hat is like a makeup for a man. Or like, you look. Look a whole different person. The head shape, the receding. Like, everything was just blowing me. He looked so good with the hat. And without the hat, I was like, grandpa, this is crazy. This is crazy.

[Truth]

He needed to get one of the man units.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, he should go to Turkey and get that thing done.

[Truth]

They could get you at the barbershop. You got to go weekly, though.

[Cesar Faraday]

Nah, he got to go to Turkey because it was given. Like, we gonna have to have sex with the hat on. We're gonna have to everything. Yeah. I don't even want you to ever take that hat off. They gotta go to Turkey, though. Like, Terrell went to Turkey. He talks about it, and his hairline looks great. He's cracking. I feel like before and after. I. I didn't see the before. I just see the after. It looks good. But Heather says the before is like, she wanted that hat on, honey.

[Truth]

That's why.

[Cesar Faraday]

But you know, he looks good. Like, the hairline looks great.

[Truth]

Yeah, you gotta. You gotta scrape up some money, get the turkey, and then spend whatever you spend. Oh, man.

[Cesar Faraday]

If I was a man, I'm going. And I had that going on.

[Truth]

Women doing that. I heard of that. Women doing that a lot. Doing the hairline, going to Turkey for Something.

[Cesar Faraday]

Oh, yeah, because surgeries in Turkey hit, okay? They have cheaper and the best surgeons in all of this, supposedly. And that's what I've heard about Colombia and Turkey. Like, people go out there all the time, nose jobs, boo, everything they're getting. And so another reason why is because in the United States, when you do lipo or anything, it's a five pound limit, so they can only take five pound of fat at a time. In Turkey, Yeah, they doing 100. It's 30 pounds.

[Truth]

So for all you women out there, when you tell your dude or who you dating or your people, you going to Turkey and to Dubai, we know what you doing.

[Cesar Faraday]

We know.

[Truth]

We know what you doing.

[Cesar Faraday]

We know where you're going and what you doing, honey. Okay?

[Truth]

The secret is out. So there it is.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, so moving on. Dion Sanders and Karrueche are in a relationship publicly now. And he'd be having her on the show and all the stuff, right? His show with Rossi. Yeah, like, he be FaceTiming her, having her. Like, they're like. Like, yeah, they're, like, all open. I don't know what happened. They went from, like, he was saying, like. Like they were asking about his relationship, and he was like, like, all.

[Truth]

Well, that was keeping it proper.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, they were keeping it private. And now they're just, like, all open now. Right.

[Truth]

So it's out there.

[Cesar Faraday]

It's out there. It's out there. So that's cool. He was saying. Yeah, so she. She was on the show, he FaceTimed while he was filming about Valentine's Day, and she was like, yeah, he's like, she runs the relationship when it comes to, like, making the plans, making, like, where we're gonna go, what we're gonna do, where we're gonna eat, so I'll pay and I'll, you know, do whatever. But, like, she did the rundown of, like, this is what we're doing for Valentine's Day. We're going here, we're going shopping. We're going to this, we're going to that, we're going to that. And he was like, yeah, she runs it. She says everything. Like, this is what we're doing, and I'm just coming. I'm paying. And like, yeah, like, what do you feel about that? Do you feel like, is that like, a man following a woman's lead or is that. What do you. What do you view?

[Truth]

I mean, they got to a comfortable point to where they're like, all right, it's time for us to let everybody know, because, you know before you go on social media or television with it, you know, you could be out with your person and just, like, people in the area know, or it's like, it's rumored. You get a picture, somebody took a picture. Like, look, they are together. You don't really know. You know, they could just be friends or just be, you know, whatever it is. But then when you really go public, it really says something. It's just like, all right. You know, they gotten to the point where, like, yeah, we're comfortable and letting the world know it is what it is. You know, what's up.

[Cesar Faraday]

Right, Right.

[Truth]

Cool with that. I'm cool with that. But you both got to be comfortable with it. You know, at first it was like, nah, we. You know, let's. Let's keep it cool. But, like, now they got to the

[Cesar Faraday]

point where it's like, right, but this is not what I'm asking, though. But I love that you said that, and that's a good point. No, I'm asking, like, she's running the relationship. When it comes to making all the decisions for the Valentine's Day and this and that, do you feel like you. There can be a balance where women. Is that. Do you consider that a woman taking lead, or do you.

[Truth]

That's kind of normal, I think, in a relationship. Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

So you feel like women are better at planning. Right.

[Truth]

Women are better at, like, organizing. Like, man, we go to work, we make the money, and be like, here, here's the money.

[Cesar Faraday]

Right, right.

[Truth]

That's traditional. It really. That's like, when you go back 100 years, like, he going to go boom. Come home, she gonna deposit the check. Or you plan everything out. You get the groceries, you. You plan the dinners, you plan. Oh, we got this for the trip. That's like, tradition.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, but people are saying, like, for Valentine's Day is the one day where a man should plan something. So they're like, I don't think it's wrong that she planned. I don't have a problem with that. If it's just, like, you just plan it, and I'll just be there.

[Truth]

I love that, actually.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, man.

[Truth]

Okay. You know, you want to do this. You want to do it because it's like, you, like, open to what she thought. Because a lot of women might not like what a man do for them.

[Cesar Faraday]

Exactly. Yeah. You know, so it just gives you

[Truth]

the opportunity with that, like, come on, what you want me to wear, what you want me to do, where you want to go.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Truth]

You know what I'm saying? Especially if you're in position, you can do those things.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, so then what point do you feel like, is it a man taking lead if a woman's doing that? I'm just curious.

[Truth]

A man know when to take lead on certain decisions, because if he not comfortable with it, he gonna be like, you know what? I think we should do this.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

And then it got to be a compromise, you know? But if he comfortable with the decision that the woman made, he ain't gonna say nothing.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

You know, but if he uncomfortable, like, if you say, let's do this or something like that, you just be like, ah, you know, I think, you know, we should do this, or, let's have a compromise about it. And that's a true relationship to where, you know, she gonna make some decisions. He gonna make some decisions. It's gonna be some stuff you aren't gonna like, but you gonna do it anyway. It's gonna be some stuff he don't like, but you can do it anyway. But then there's gonna be some things to wear. Your cut. We gotta talk about this.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, for sure.

[Truth]

You know, and that's a real relationship to where you're communicating. And you don't feel like it's controlling. Cause, you know, most women think they act like they want to lead, but then when you lead too much, it gets to turn into controlling. When things go bad, you're just controlling like, no, you asked me to be this person.

[Cesar Faraday]

Now, you always say this.

[Truth]

This always tells you, well, now when shit go bad, it's like, this is your favorite thing. Yeah. It's the truth.

[Cesar Faraday]

But that's not all women.

[Truth]

You say that it ain't all women,

[Cesar Faraday]

but it is not all women. Because, like, a lot of women like me, specifically. I like when Amanda is like, a lot of things when it comes to making decisions, because I'm super indecisive. So for me, it's like, okay, cool. You made that decision. Yeah. It takes something off my plate because I'm like, I'm indecisive. So it's like, okay. I don't look at it as controlling. I look at it as you just made something easier for me because I

[Truth]

said, all right, baby, let's go to dinner. Okay. You just like, all right, we're going to McDonald's. You going to say something?

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, cool. I'm cool.

[Truth]

All right. Yeah. All right. Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

All right, cool. I'mma get me a little Happy Meal. Chicken nuggets.

[Truth]

Yeah. Right. O Cat's going to be in your DMs. After this one. You cool with that? Azar is cool with McDonald's, y'. All.

[Cesar Faraday]

If it's. If it's. If it's my man. And we're like, let's go to McDonald's, y'.

[Truth]

All dating

[Cesar Faraday]

anyway, so just, like, you're blowing me. So anyways, Rihanna, despite being, you know, someone who's extremely successful, and it's like, you know, obviously she's rich and she has money. She says that asap. Rocky pays every single bill. And they have a traditional structure in their household. Like, he pays for everything. He provides every single thing. And she just, you know, has the kids and is his wife and does her big one. What do you think about that?

[Truth]

Yeah, A$AP is cool because he know if they break up, he gonna get it back on the back end. Cause if he. The divorce, she the breadwinner, so he gonna get that alimony.

[Cesar Faraday]

He has money, too.

[Truth]

Yeah, but she got more, and he

[Cesar Faraday]

still pays her with more.

[Truth]

Go get that alimony. You know what I'm saying? It's gonna be like, hold on. He gonna get it on the back end, So I don't mind right now, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll take care of this and that. Yeah. These dinners, I get us. I even get us in the house. What? Cause I know on the back end, if it don't work out, if it ain't no prenup in place, he cracking. You know, it's always. The men always taking the hit. You know, if it ain't nothing in place, she gonna have to take the hit on this one. So he like, yeah, all right.

[Cesar Faraday]

He not leaving. They not leaving each other.

[Truth]

They love that. That they together.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, they. They, they, they. I like them as a couple. They're boot up. They fly. They not. He respects her. He talks about her highly. She talks about him highly. Like, they have a cool little relationship. Like, I don't think they breaking up, honey. Speaking of that, PJ Washington spent 1.5 million on his wife for Valentine's Day. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a lot, bro.

[Truth]

You setting us back, bro.

[Cesar Faraday]

That's his wife. He don't play about that wife, though. He don't play about that wife, though, honey. He don't. He don't play. One thing I do, I love their relationship because he don't play about her and that baby mama becoming my boy for the.

[Truth]

For.

[Cesar Faraday]

For the one that's Brittany Renner's, and then she be, like, going in on him about more money and this.

[Truth]

I wish she had have Kept that quiet, though, because now other girls is gonna be like, well, he.

[Cesar Faraday]

He.

[Truth]

He did this.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, but we all know we ain't getting 1.5 million dollar gifts for Valentine's Day. Honey, we not even listen.

[Truth]

No, that bar is. You said that even.

[Cesar Faraday]

That's not even close to what. You know what I'm saying. But he bought her a Ferrari for 1.5. Yeah. And a Richard. Millie, I think jewelry is the best gift ever, like, for a woman. Like, a little watch, a little diamond, a little necklace. That's a good gift that you could never go wrong with, in my opinion.

[Truth]

But you could get that. You can get the money for that after.

[Cesar Faraday]

You get the money for it after.

[Truth]

That's why them cars go down in value.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, I think jewelry is great. And then you wear it. No, you wear it all the time. Like, you get real good use of jewelry. I think jewelry is the best gift ever. That, like, you know, it is the best gift ever.

[Truth]

Like I said, when y' all break up, you gonna sell that and get.

[Cesar Faraday]

That's not true. I still have my jewelry pieces right now.

[Truth]

Yeah. Let me ask you this, though. Like, your ex bought you this? Jury, is it cool for you to continue to wear your jewelry when you.

[Cesar Faraday]

It depends on the person. Right. Like. Cause I'm gonna keep it real. So this is.

[Truth]

This is. This is. This is the thing, though. Does she wear that Jury? Her ex. Water? Oh, no. Nah, you can't wear that jury now.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, that's good to know. Cause, like, for me. No, seriously. Cause for me.

[Matt Rogers]

Nah.

[Cesar Faraday]

But, you know, I've been in a relationship. Right? Right. And it's, like, a thing. Right? So my ex bought me a chain with my name on it.

[Truth]

Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Right. And so then I got into a new relationship, and my. And then the guy. I was like, who got you that chain? And I was like, oh, like, I love that chain where you get it. And I didn't want to lie. So I was like, my ex got me this chain. So he was like, nah, I'm not with that. Like, you can't wear that.

[Truth]

No, you can't.

[Cesar Faraday]

And I'm like, okay, well, I like to wear my name, so I'm just not gonna have a necklace now. And he was like, no, you can't wear it. And I was like, all right. So I. I respected it. I took it off. Then he bought me one.

[Truth]

Right, okay.

[Cesar Faraday]

Right. So then I got in a new relationship, and that person was like, you can't wear that chain no more. And I'm like, all Right. So I took it off, and then they see.

[Truth]

So that's why jury is the best relationship. That's why. So now you just get the money for it.

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, three things with my name on it. My necklaces. Right? So. Because it's like, okay, I can't wear it anymore. Okay, cool. I respect that. If a man tells me straight up, don't wear this necklace no more, I'm not gonna wear it at all, period.

[Truth]

Point goes vice versa. Because what if I got these shoes that she bought me or these pants, and I tell you, like, yeah, my ex got me these pajamas.

[Cesar Faraday]

Throw them away right now.

[Truth]

Exactly. See? So that's why, as men, you got to be like, nah, you can't do that. Go get the money.

[Cesar Faraday]

But some people don't care. Like, some men be like, I don't give a damn if you wear it or not. You know what I'm saying? Some are like, no. Because then it's like, what if I have a Chanel purse? Am I not able to wear that either?

[Truth]

Yeah, go get the money for that. That whole value.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, so I'm can't wear none of my purses.

[Truth]

All your whole wardrobe. Get that up out of here. Who got you what? What? That's Valencia. Oh, that. Get that up out of here.

[Cesar Faraday]

Because before.

[Truth]

Because it's the vice versa. No, but, like, before.

[Cesar Faraday]

But before. See, this is why you switch up.

[Truth]

It can't just be certain things.

[Cesar Faraday]

It's got to be everything switch up a lot. Because I. You specifically said. Oh, I'm not tripping off of that. If, like, a woman is wearing jewelry from that her ex got her, I'm not tripping off of that. That. Because then am I good? You literally were like, because then what am I gonna trip off of every bag, every this, every that? Like, I'm not tripping off of that. You said that. Now you tripping off of it. Which one is it?

[Truth]

Which one is it? If a man says, a woman asks a man, hey, where'd you get those pajamas? Or this is this outfit? Yeah, my ass got me there.

[Cesar Faraday]

Burn them.

[Truth]

What's the difference?

[Cesar Faraday]

Cause you're blowing me. What's the pajamas and a jewelry piece, though?

[Truth]

All right, what if she got me a watch?

[Cesar Faraday]

Sell it.

[Truth]

Exactly. So what's the difference?

[Cesar Faraday]

Because I'm asking you not what a woman is gonna say. What do you feel about it?

[Truth]

This is the only thing you can.

[Cesar Faraday]

What do you feel about it?

[Truth]

No, it's only certain things you could keep. If your ex got you something, tell me if he Got you a house.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

That girl a car.

[Cesar Faraday]

A car.

[Truth]

A car.

[Cesar Faraday]

I'm keeping my little car furniture.

[Truth]

All right, go ahead. I ain't trying to seven you. Got you that. Go ahead. Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, so. But you're not feeling a woman who's wearing an a. A watch, a ring, a necklace from the ex if you're in a relationship. Yes or no? Because your answers vary every day. So yes or no?

[Truth]

You can't fact check that.

[Cesar Faraday]

What do you mean?

[Truth]

Like, I said that.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, I have. I bet you we can't.

[Truth]

I said it.

[Cesar Faraday]

I bet you can. Yeah, you say a lot.

[Truth]

Well, let's fact check that.

[Cesar Faraday]

All I'm saying is, yes or no. Are you tripping off of that?

[Truth]

If she has jewelry.

[Cesar Faraday]

If she's wearing jewelry that her ex bought her.

[Truth]

Yeah, I get her. Jury.

[Cesar Faraday]

You're tripping off of it.

[Truth]

I'm not gonna be like, what the. Like, what?

[Cesar Faraday]

But you're just like, don't wear that shit no more.

[Truth]

Yeah, because that's a reminder of him.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay.

[Truth]

You know what I'm saying? Every time you look out and your girlfriends be like, oh, that's cute.

[Cesar Faraday]

Oh, that's cute. I get it. But. And that's from your ex, but you detach from that. Like, I feel like I will detach so far from the person who got it from me. Like, especially if it's, like, custom.

[Truth]

Like, I don't remember this, but think about this. Sometimes it could come back to you. So think about this. You out with your friends, and it's like, three or four of y' all at dinner. Oh, that's cute. Where'd you get that? My ex gave it to me. And then say, like, it get back to him. From your girl. Like, oh, man, her ex was nice. Why you ain't never done nothing like that? Like. Like what? Like. And you ain't never told him? Yeah, like, that's bad. That. Then stuff can get bad.

[Cesar Faraday]

What you mean you ain't never.

[Truth]

What?

[Cesar Faraday]

Like, I don't even.

[Truth]

Like, you out with your girls at dinner, and you have your piece on, and your new dude ain't really asked about it. He just, you know, he ain't really said nothing about it. But then your girls, you say, I got this from my ex. So now you out with a group of friends. His friends, your friends. And the friend just be like. Like, why you don't be getting your girl? Her ex did. Like, you know, it might be just something in conversation. Her ex. Like, it could just something like, you know, conversations come back that unintended unintentionally.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah.

[Truth]

And he find out that way.

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah. But also too, it's like, what are you supposed to say? Hey, my ex got me this. Like, what, what? Like, I don't know how if someone,

[Truth]

you just stop wearing it.

[Cesar Faraday]

Got it. Okay.

[Truth]

Don't get the money for it. That's why jury is the best gift stuff. Turn that in, get the cheese.

[Cesar Faraday]

I, I understand that.

[Truth]

Take him to dinner on him.

[Cesar Faraday]

Okay, well, you, you said something different before and I, I can't wait to see if we can find that and pull it up. But now, because you literally were like, I don't care about that. Because then what am I supposed to care about every person, man, I got you and this and that. You know what I mean?

[Truth]

Maybe I shouldn't care about that. Maybe I should be like, shit, she good. I ain't gotta get it now. No, but if a man knows, this is about the thing. If a man tells you you can't wear your jewelry, then he gotta get you something.

[Cesar Faraday]

I agree, I agree. Because I feel like if a woman

[Truth]

say, no, I don't want you wearing that to the man, he can get rid of it. But that ain't on a woman to replace it either. I think if as a man says, no, you can't wear that chain no more. Your ex, that means his obligation is to say, all right, well, I'll replace you would want. I feel that. Yeah.

[Cesar Faraday]

Because that's what happened in my past. But I also do feel like, did he replace it?

[Truth]

He replaced it, right?

[Cesar Faraday]

Yeah, Yeah, I do feel like, you know, but I, I, I stopped war wearing it before he replaced it. Like, he never said, I'm going to replace it, but he was just like, I don't like that. And I was like, all right. And I stopped wearing it because it's like if once I know you don't like that, cuz some people don't trip off of certain stuff. But once I really know you don't like that, that I'm never gonna wear it again. Okay. It's gone. Like, because again, anything that makes my person uncomfortable is never that deep. Like, I'm not gonna wear it.

[Truth]

Cool.

[Cesar Faraday]

And I feel like for some men it looks like, oh, you're wearing that. It means you still holding on, holding on to something. But it's like, no, I just like this piece, it's cracking.

[Truth]

You holding on, it's, it means something. Which is funny because my dad or my mom got about this. Girls will lie.

[Cesar Faraday]

I won't lie though, like, ever. Since if someone asked me, I'm not gonna lie, because that can come back on you like that. I'm not gonna lie about like this. Like, I. I don't want to lie because if someone asked me something straight up, did you do this? Did you mess with this person? I'm gonna tell you the truth because I can't. I'm not gonna sit there and lie in your face like, I'm not gonna play with you like, nobody like that. But anyways, thank you guys for joining the Truth After Dark.
