Welcome to this episode of Kennedy Saves the World. So you thought political differences were the only barrier keeping couples apart in this age of impossible dating. But the Wall Street Journal points to something new that for many people is causing grievances in their romantic lives that they cannot overcome, and that is the swag gap. And of course, I've done my research here at FOX News in the podcasting suite and beyond of people, particularly young women who go out on first dates and they are dressed to the nines because they want to put their best foot forward. They, they want the first glimpse that their prospective partner has of them to be pristine and inspiring. They want to complete someone's romantic ideal. And they want to be the tip of the arrow that pierces the young man's heart through the help of Cupid. And they show up looking amazing. And one woman I talked to twice on first dates because there are so many ways to connect with people now. There are so many first dates. Like in the olden days in the late 1900s, we didn't have access to these kind of things. So either you were set up by your friends or a guy asked you out and you already saw them and then you would go on a first date. But now you communicate with someone, you chat with them, maybe talk on the phone, and then you actually meet in person. And that can happen, you know, 50 times in a year. And because of the number of first dates, women to a greater degree than men are holding themselves to a higher standard. And when they meet someone for the first time and open the door and the guys in sweatpants, it's gross because they're going out to dinner. And I was talking with one young woman in our department who's tall and beautiful and should have no problem with guys who should be trying. If you are on, if your first date is on a Saturday afternoon and you're Watching college football and you're going for nachos and you're going for comfort. Yes. Then wear sweatpants. Now in this article they gave a couple of examples of the swag gap in celebrity couples. And one was Hailey Bieber. You know I'm a fan of her smoothie at erewhon. It's like 22, $24 depending on the season. Although they've taken her name off of the the strawberry smoothie, which is incredible by the way. She was dressed for an event for her beauty line and she was in like a red strapless dress with red heels and a beautiful red matching bag. And Justin Bieber was in a pink cap with shorts, white socks and yellow crocs. So it's like he's got this incredible billionairess, this beautiful, the mother of his child, this lady supermodel and he's dressed like he was just fished out of a dumpster. So if people are wondering why they are having such a hard time matching, it's because you're not trying. It is exactly what Sean Duffy was talking about at the airport. And, and it doesn't mean you have to fly in a ball gown or a three piece suit. But we were in the lounge this weekend on a transcontinental flight and some dude with stringy unwashed hair at 6:30 in the morning waddles by in pajama bottoms and it's clear he just rolled out of bed. It is the same thing that Sean Duffy was talking about. If you don't care enough about how you look and how you smell, how do you expect someone else to find you attractive? Is it that people are so completely impressed with themselves because the self esteem curriculum built up people who were really empty shoddy vessels? Or is it that you just have zero self awareness so there is a swag gap? If, if you are trying and you are trying to be impressive and you want to look your best because you want to express to the world how you feel about yourself, that you feel buttoned up and put together. Then you want to be with someone who shares your ideals. And it's not just superficial, it's not being in labels from head to toe. You don't have to be in expensive clothing to look good. You, your clothing should be washed. Get a steamer on Amazon for $25. Get a lint roller, get a tapey lint roller. Just put a little bit of polish on that stone and be a glistening emerald for someone else to find attractive instead of just assuming that you can look like a dead possum. But someone else has to emerge a radiant unicorn in order to satisfy your liking. Good sir. Don't go anywhere more. Kennedy Saves the World right after this. This is Ainsley Earhart.

But it goes both ways. So as a Gen Xer, obviously like I came of age during the ugly era when women like Courtney Love were somehow the height of beauty, who wouldn't brush their hair, who look like, you know, not only had they not run a brush of their hair, they hadn't run a toothbrush over their teeth in days and days and days. Ew. And they were mismatched and unkempt and that was cool and that was beautiful. And that was kind of the aesthetic that we had for a while and it was fun. But then eventually the pendulum swings and you discover nice things. So that was one part of it, another part of it. I've been super into snowboarding. Started out skiing, switched to snowboarding when I was 20 and have never looked back. And snowboarding, of course, is like beanies and hoodies and things like ugg boots, but you can't wear that all the time. The other thing is when I and on this podcast, I can be aggressively casual. And I admit that because that is how I really dress. This is a glimpse of how I really am. Because when I am at work and I'm in my work regalia, it is essentially like being in drag because I have my hair blown out and I've got lashes glued on and I have contour put on my face and lip plumper, Dior lip plumper, not.

Not against it. But I have all that stuff. So when I am in my civilian life, yes, I, I will be aggressively casual and I fly that way. But it's nice casual, it's expensive casual, it is not shoddy casual. There are not holes in my casual. It is curated and well thought out.
- [08:06]
But I at least show up everywhere I go. And even if I have an aggressively casual day, I put some thought and feeling into it and that's all other people are asking from a partner. So you can be creative, you can dress in different textures and colors and get cool and get rad, but at least do something more than look like you don't care and like you rolled out of bed because believe me, you don't want that because the dudes who are dressing in sweatpants and Crocs, they want the Hailey Bieber. That is not fair. That is a disparity. Stop looking like a slob and you will attract someone who is also aesthetically beautiful. It has never been easier, and we were talking about this on Outnumbered last week. It is never, ever in the history of the known world, it has never been easier to be hot. And that's not just for women. So it should not just be on women to look amazing just because they can. Because guess what? Guys can too. You have meal prep, you have gym time, you have affordable, abundant clothing choices. And it has never been easier to get style tips. So go ahead and acquire them and curate them and impress someone if you want to be impressed, and I know you do, because there's a reason you are swiping on the beautiful women who sit just outside that door and they deserve your finest. So go ahead and give it to them and then go be happy. Narrow the swag gap and we will see what happens. And then we can talk about politics. But we should not have to worry about about basic hygiene before we learn that you're a raging commie. Lock it up. This Aspen Kennedy Saves the World and Kennedy.
