love language, acts of vacation words of confirmed flights, and definitely quality time abroad. Quality time abroad. Yeah, got it. Yeah. So needless to say, today we are talking about how the line between finding love and prostitution in Miami is very, very thin. Not to mention, we also need to talk about how women simply love to hate something just because other women like to hate it and because they say it's prostitute. And honestly, I think that's why we found ourselves in this dating predicament to begin with. So just diving in. The reason for today's video obviously is a viral TikTok. So take a look at this video that blew up over the weekend.
- [01:12]
Unidentified Man 2
So here's an update on how dating is going in Miami. As a 37 year old single male, I met this girl at the pool yesterday. We hung out for an hour and a half, had a decent time, good time. And then as we were leaving, I paid for her valet. And now apparently to see her again, I have to pay for her hair extensions. Presumably I'll pay for her Uber tomorrow to the date. Obviously I'll pay for dinner all before we go on our first date. That is a hard pass for me.
- [01:31]
Podcast Host / Narrator
Now that being a hard pass for me is putting it mildly compared to how I would respond if I was a man. So to sum this up, because I know that there was some music behind that TikTok and he sped up his voice, what happened here is that this man, he is sharing a text exchange that he just had with a woman. He said he met this girl at the pool, they hung out, they chatted for about an hour and a half before they both decided to leave. When they were leaving, he paid for her valet, got her number, asked her out. They're talking about going to dinner, presumably the next, and she texts him and says, good morning, sexy. I'd love to schedule to get my hair extensions done so I feel extra Sexy for our date night. And so obviously this man takes that to mean that she is wanting him to pay for her hair extensions before they even go on their first date. Now she is not, you know, coming out, right? And saying, hey, Venmo Me$500 for hair extensions, whatever it is in this economy. But why else would she be texting him that? Like, there's no reason to bring that into the conversation unless you were trying to bait the man into saying, sending you, zelling you, cashapping you, whatever, we're doing all of that money before he can have access to you for the state. Now, obviously this man is going, no, I'm not into that. And because he did not read it in the TikTok, this was his response. This is what I can decipher from behind his head. But he says, ah, damn, I am not attracted to having to pay for basic stuff before we are dating or even go on a single date. That is what fat and ugly guys have to do. Not my thing. Which honestly is. Is a banger of a response. Now I am sure that you guys are sitting there because you are all common sense, normal individuals and you're thinking, yeah, okay, he is right. That is insane. That is a no go. Not the kind of woman for him. Like the audacity of this woman to come out after meeting this man only once. They've spent an hour together and asking for this. But guys, this video did not blow up on TikTok because people agreed with him. And people are now, you know, talking about the state of womanhood in 2026. The audacity of females in America. No, no, of course. Of course it blew up because women on the Internet were appalled by him. They were appalled by him and he got so trashed on this app that he deleted the video in its entirety. And just listen to some of these responses that I compiled. So one woman said he wants full access to the first class lounge on an economy class ticket. I know that she thought she ate with that one. 22,000 other women liked that. Another person said, pay up, pops. Another 22,000 likes on that comment on another site that was talking about this viral exchange, commented and said, this is why I stay far away from men because I mean, like, he's mad that he has to pay for her hair. Same men that chase after high maintenance women as trophies but hate maintaining them. Like getting a Porsche and getting mad at premium fuel and oil changes. That means you can't afford it. And I'm not even super high maintenance like that. I Can buy my own weave and do my own nails and eyebrows, etc. Very much a DIY girly. But it pisses me off that men want us to be pretty but don't want the hard work that comes with it. The hard work, AKA shilling out potentially thousands of dollars for hair extensions before a first date just to get access to a woman who, in your words, needs to be maintained. And because he is not interested in crossing that line, because he does not want to monetize the date, because he does not want to engage in prostitution, then I guess that means he's a dusty, musty, can't afford it man. Like, this is just insane. Seriously guys, I was reading all these comments. I was seeing all of the stitches in the repos. I genuinely felt like I had entered the upside down and just from there the whole thing exploded. It got even worse just based on that video alone. Women were harshly judging him just because of what they saw in front of that green screen where he was talking about the text messages. They were judging him and his looks and most importantly his age because he talks about being 37. Women did not believe that. Somebody said, yeah, it's giving 47. Another person said, he looks 10 years older than my 40 year old husband. And then another person said, he's an average looking guy at best. Now here's the thing. I did some journalism ing, as my friend Jack Mack would say, boots on the ground journalism. And I did what apparently these commenters were simply too lazy to do. I clicked on his profile, I went to his page and listen, those 40 year old man glasses, they were not doing him any favors. They look like he picked them up in the back of Sam's Club or Costco. But I'm sorry, looking at this man's profile, you cannot say objectively as a married woman, you cannot say that he is ugly or that he looks geriatric. I mean his entire TikTok page, for better or for worse, is him working out and getting jacked. And so I am sorry, but let's just take this comment for example. This person, Eric Rivera Cooks said, I'm 44 and he looks way older than me. Okay, Eric, Eric, this is you and this is him. No, he does not. What Kool Aid are you people drinking? All of you are coping and seething because the Internet hive mind in this comment section told you to. They convinced you because this man was not willing to venmo a random chick. $2,800, $1,500. Again, whatever it is that he is Ugly and old and awful. Because I'm sorry, objectively, this guy actually doesn't look that bad. He doesn't look awful. He's fit. He's competing in CrossFit and Hyrox competitions. I went to his Instagram. He's posting pictures with his cute siblings that he's apparently close with. He's posting photos of him hanging out with his nieces and nephews. He's posting beautifully heartfelt tributes to his late mother who recently passed away. Than the overwhelmingly amount, I will be honest there, the overwhelming amount of posed gym photos with the strange facial expressions. Like, other than that, there aren't really a lot of glaring red flags. But the girls and the gays on TikTok were adamant that he was too old and too gross to be acting in this way, to be drawing this line in the sand and that he should know his age, he should know her worth. Like, remember the comment that we read earlier, Pay up, pops. If he wants to have access to that type of woman, he, he is going to have to pay. Ladies and gentlemen, the 22,000 people. However many people are commenting here, that is called prostitution. Ironically, on another side of the Internet, while some women were saying that he was ugly and old, other women were saying that actually he was too fit, that he works out too much, he looks too good, and because of that, he must be gay.

that she has standards, but because you

Podcast Host / Narrator
No man looks like that for women. I mean, genuinely, it's like men can't win. I mean, there is just so much to unpack in that 32nd TikTok. Number one, she is saying that a woman asking for money before a first date is called having standards. I'm sorry, we have completely lost all value systems, all semblance of a moral compass if you think that is having standards. And then number two, this is like a backhanded compliment. This woman is obviously upset that she does not have access to a man who looks like that, who has abs like that, who works out like that. And so she is saying you are too fit, too good looking, so you must be gay. No man looks like that when he's trying to attract a woman because I obviously would not be attracted to that. Yes you are, ma'. Am. Yes, you and your cats certainly are. Sorry, that was a little bit rude. I'll take it down a little bit. But anyway, they're saying that he's gay now on that Same note, somebody else commented on one of the original reposts talking about him. This woman, Batman's counselor said, I hope he finds the man of his dreams. Like literally my whole response here is just like men can't win. Women are saying, you know, don't be fat, don't be ugly, go work out, be hot and rich for us. But actually don't work out too much. And if you look like that, then you're probably doing it for men and not women because we actually don't want you to look like that. I mean, it is exhausting.

That's his name, by the way. Benny. The Internet started to pile on this poor man even more after two of his ex situation ships, flirtationships, talking, whatever you want to call it, posted videos about him. And I will say we're going to talk about both of them, but the first one kind of adds up. Let's watch.
- [11:26]
Ex-Girlfriend / Female Commentator 1
So this guy that I was seeing is currently going viral because he posted a video of his text response to a girl, like, insinuating that she wanted him to pay for her extensions. And people are, like, eating him up in the comments. And from someone that was, like, going on dates with him and seeing him for a couple months on and off, I can completely attest to, like, he thinks that he's the prize. Like one of our first conversations, he was like, oh, I have more Instagram followers than you. I said, okay. And I don't really care about that stuff. And he's like, oh, just. It's just an observation. Okay? We would go out and, like, girls would, I don't know, look in his direction and he's like, yeah, that happens a lot. Even if men looked at our table, he would be like, they're probably sizing me up. They really. They probably like my physique. They're probably. I'm like, yeah, they're looking at you.
- [12:27]
Ex-Girlfriend / Female Commentator 2
Mm.
- [12:28]
Ex-Girlfriend / Female Commentator 1
And always, like, making a comment of like, yeah, everyone's like, looking at me. Like, it's just, you know, whatever. It's just, it was always, he's the
- [12:38]
Podcast Host / Narrator
prize, he's the best. All right, now, obviously I'm chuckling at this TikTok, but I do want to say it's important to note, you know, he could have been saying all of this and speaking in jest. She could just be jumping on the bandwagon for attention because this is going viral. But also, I mean, just based on his social media, the man likes his body, he likes working out, he clearly wants attention based on the things that he's posting. So who knows, she could be, you know, speaking totally honestly, he could be really into himself. But then additionally, there was also this one.
- [13:03]
Ex-Girlfriend / Female Commentator 2
This man has literally been trying to take me out for 10 years and when I finally gave him a first date, he asked me to come over to his house. That was the first date he asked me to come to his house. Mind you, it was a Tuesday and he said I had a really hard week last Wednesday. Therefore he wanted me to come to his house for first date, please. Mind you, he's 40.
- [13:33]
Unidentified Man 2
Please.
- [13:34]
Podcast Host / Narrator
So then obviously feeding into the rumors that he's not actually 37, that he looks older than his age, that he's lying about his age, whatever it is. Anyway, so because of these two TikToks that have also racked up thousands of views, women online, the ones who have been in these comment sections, they feel validated in their dislike of this man because he's self absorbed, because he invited a woman to his house on a first date instead of doing, I don't know, a grand dinner, something else. But the most important thing, in my opinion is that all of this hate from the jump stemmed from the fact that he would not pay for hair extensions for a random woman that he had met once. And then suddenly, because of that, all of these tens of thousands, millions of women at this point online agreed that this was the line in the sand. This was the example of having standards and knowing your worth. I mean, it is genuinely insane. And I guarantee maybe this is me being naive and hopeful. I don't know, you can call me out on this, I don't really care. But I believe that if you got a bunch of commenters alone and you were talking with them about this, they would not have that kind of automatic response. But they watch these videos, they open the comment sections as we all do. That's the first thing we do when we're scrolling on social media. They see all of these other tens of thousands of women, you know, validating the girl who he's texting, demanding this kind of treatment, shaming men for not giving it, et cetera, et cetera. And so they jump on more, they go, oh, well, obviously, yeah, I want that too. I want somebody to pay for me. Like, it is just grotesque. It is hive mind behavior and apparently it is becoming a bigger trend.

Unidentified Man 1
Just watch this TikTok I DM to girl. And I said hello or hi or something. And she said hi, if you think I'm pretty, pay for my nails today. Thank you. Sent me her her Venmo. And I was like. And this is what I replied back. I said I don't think you're that pretty. Then I said, that's girlfriend treatment. Then she said haha. Goodbye. I thought it was so funny. One, I don't even know you. Two, I've never met you. Three, how many people do you do this with? Huh? Huh? I'm not just one of these men. They're gonna throw cash at you then thinking me throwing cash at a stranger is gonna get you to reply back, no, the only way you have access to my money is through me. I'm not just gonna be sending you stuff like that.
- [15:47]
Podcast Host / Narrator
And it's so funny because you see men like this and Benny and we're gonna watch a couple of other videos, but men online are responding to this and they we also know our worth. We don't want you to just want us for our money, no matter how much money it is. That is our line in the sand. Well, simultaneously, women are making the same argument, but about the most ridiculous things men are saying. We want to get to know you. We want you to like us for who we are, not just because of our money. And these women are saying, actually it's really all about the money. And I'll know you think I'm pretty and I'll know that you're worth my time if you venmo me for my nails, my hair extensions. I mean, it is so disgusting. It is so materialistic. I'm embarrassed to be a woman when I see these types of videos. It's just awful. And on another point, I feel like we should just like close the loop here and bring it back to what James Charles literally just got canceled for on TikTok like a couple of weeks ago. He was calling out the audacity that people have specifically women on social media to just ask people, ask famous people, ask rich people for money. No hi, hello, how are you? I'm a big fan of yours. Not even following him, but DMing him a gofundme saying I really need you to send me money. Once again, I know the Internet was all up in arms about what he said, but. But I thought James was correct. Like sorry, not sorry. Watch my video on that if you want to learn more. But this is an epidemic of audacious materialistic people is what I am trying to say. And that point will be proven by this comment section because once again, in terms of the TikTok we just watched, the women were on the girls side. Just look at these comments. One girl said in reply to this guy we like her a lot. Another one said she ate. Another one said I hope she got her nails paid for. And then another girl said I love this tactic. Quick way to figure out if you're his dream girl. Once again, openly acknowledging that the only way a man is going to get his own foot in the door is through money. Like I read that comment and I literally wanted to bash my head into a wall. Like great. Okay, so being somebody's dream girl, it's not about spark a connection, her values, anything like that? No, it is about whether or not you find her physically attractive enough on social media to shill out cash before you even meet her. Love is dead. Is romance dead? Based on these individuals we are talking about today, apparently it is. Now I think that this is happening all over the world, honestly. But specifically, it seems like this is becoming a big in Miami where our guy Benny lives. For example, one matchmaker who's big on X, she posted about this back in February and said what's up with the dating scene in Miami right now? I've spoken with about two potential Miami matchmaking clients this week who have said that women are asking for a rent allowance and a shopping budget on first dates. This is good for my business because I can screen gold diggers out, but on a personal level. Wtf. And I have to say this is echoed by Miami man on the street interviews. Just one watch.

Miami Man 2
that don't exist no more? That shit is extinct bro. Like dinosaurs. Wives is like dinosaurs. The bitches is extinct. You either buying the pussy, boy, you ain't getting it.
- [21:00]
Podcast Host / Narrator
Wives are like dinosaurs. That is the most abysmal yet iconic line coming out of this episode. Now listen, I am sure that both of these men are being truthful and honestly, after reading the comments that we have read, after seeing the uproar over Benny drawing his line in the sand, I do not blame them for their language. But I do have to say the commenters did make a good point. Sally, for example on X said if this is the language with which you speak about the women around you, including your sisters, I'm shocked insert sarcasm that your dating scene is trashy. AF higher class women don't date guys like this. Another person said sad state of affairs When a nice guy like this can't find a good woman to settle down with. Touche. Again, they make great points. But removing those men and their language from the equation, the point about women and what they are demanding and asking for still stands. Overall, dating has been monetized. And between the apps, which have, you know, turned dating into an addictive, low stakes game, and OnlyFans, which has turned everyone into low class prostitutes, it was only a matter of time until this took hold. And then what is possibly most important here is the content that women are consuming online. Like it is no wonder that they feel important courage to jump in and start expecting or demanding this. Like for example, take this video. And just so you know, this happens to be the woman who Benny allegedly invited over to his home. That date was not good enough. Again, I'm not here to shame the date. I don't know how I would respond in that situation. Maybe he was cooking her a nice dinner. She didn't think that was good enough. Maybe she thought she was unsafe, weird, whatever. But this is the woman who was behind that TikTok and behind that date. Just watch what she posted about 24 hours ago.
- [22:30]
Ex-Girlfriend / Female Commentator 2
So yesterday I was on FaceTime and I got this gorgeous delivery. Surprise delivery. Didn't expect it. He somehow knew I was in New York. And I was like, okay, cute. The man on FaceTime said, Looks a little small. I don't know about you, but I think this is beautiful. And I was like, I'm giddy as a pig in. And he said, I think you deserve more. I love me a petty man. I love me a toxic king. Okay, thank you, sir. I would have much preferred the zelle though. If you're gonna buy me $500 flowers, sell me 500 as well. Y' all want to hear this? This a little note. Read it out loud. He said, and I quote, hello, woman, I don't miss you at all. The blue flowers came with a I miss you and you're amazing note. He said, again, hello woman, I don't miss you at all. And I wish I had the opportunity to fight you. I hope those flowers gonna make it on TikTok though also, I regret the day I put your massive feet in my mouth. Your main op, my main op signed.
- [23:48]
Podcast Host / Narrator
So I'll just end it there because I think you guys get the point. Like, it's no wonder that you and our guy Benny didn't work out. Because what you apparently wanted was a roster full of men who are financially competing against each other. And for you, clearly that is not Benny's speed. He does not want to be the man on FaceTime, watching another man send you flowers and then feeling compelled to send $500 worth of flowers just to secure more of your time. And so now she's posting all of that on TikTok, smirking, excited about it, sharing this with her audience of women who will become emboldened to demand it or expect that from the men around them. And honestly, why wouldn't they? They're seeing it work. They're seeing women get $500 worth of flowers from one guy, $200 worth of flowers for another. Their nails are getting paid for. But they're seeing this come out of Miami where everything is just delusional and upside down. So why wouldn't they start leaving comments like, she ate. And I love this strategy and I know my worth. I don't want to deal with these broke ass dusty whatevers. I mean, it's. But based on what we're seeing on social media, it makes sense why it is compounded. And then add to that, you know, the men online see all of these videos. They watch this unfold, even if they have not experienced it personally. And so then they choose to opt out of dating altogether, which is the least shocking thing of the century. Because if you were a man watching all of this unfold, why would you subject yourself to this? And men, guess what happens next? Men and women, they continue to drift further apart. They end up resenting each other more. The sexes are at odds like they are right now. And so with that, I guess I should say Happy Pride Month. It's no wonder everybody is gay.
