  1. 0:00The better men and women understand each
  2. 0:02other, the more they'll accept each
  3. 0:04other's differences and that can serve
  4. 0:08as a very big help in their
  5. 0:10relationship.
  6. 0:15>> [music]
  7. 0:28[music]
  8. 0:42>> Where do babies come from?
  9. 0:45I doubt that there will be a subject
  10. 0:48that will be more difficult to address
  11. 0:51than this one, explaining male-female
  12. 0:54differences.
  13. 0:55And why? Because people live in denial.
  14. 1:00The denial is one I encountered when I
  15. 1:03was in college. That's a long time ago
  16. 1:06when I was told at I might add an elite
  17. 1:09Ivy League University
  18. 1:11that there are no differences between
  19. 1:13men and women, just physical ones.
  20. 1:16And I knew then there was something
  21. 1:18wrong at my college that I am being told
  22. 1:21something so foolish
  23. 1:24that there are no real [music]
  24. 1:25differences between men and women.
  25. 1:28It has caused terrible havoc in the
  26. 1:30lives especially [music] of women but
  27. 1:32certainly of men as well.
  28. 1:34This major denial of major differences
  29. 1:37between the sexes.
  30. 1:38>> Addressing gender equity. Feminine.
  31. 1:40Whatever that means. All of whom If you
  32. 1:42want to get along with the opposite sex,
  33. 1:45you've got to try to understand you and
  34. 1:47you've got to try to understand the
  35. 1:49opposite sex.
  36. 1:51That's why this is so important and
  37. 1:53that's why this is so difficult.
  38. 1:57>> [music]
  39. 2:01>> So, let's deal with this with the
  40. 2:03acknowledgement that of course [music]
  41. 2:06men and women have a tremendous amount
  42. 2:08in common.
  43. 2:10A good man and a good woman have a lot
  44. 2:12in common, goodness. [music]
  45. 2:14A smart man and a smart woman have a lot
  46. 2:17in common and by the way, I don't
  47. 2:19believe that either sex [music]
  48. 2:21is innately more intelligent than the
  49. 2:23other, not because it's a nice thing to
  50. 2:25say but because I've met so many
  51. 2:27brilliant people of each sex
  52. 2:29>> [music]
  53. 2:29>> and by the way, a fair number of dummies
  54. 2:32of each sex. It seems to be [music]
  55. 2:34somewhat equal.
  56. 2:36Men and women have a lot in common.
  57. 2:39Let's also acknowledge that not every
  58. 2:41difference applies to [music] every
  59. 2:42single male and every single female.
  60. 2:45But as I have often said, if you can't
  61. 2:47generalize, you are truly a dummy.
  62. 2:50Generalizing is
  63. 2:52>> [music]
  64. 2:52>> is the way in which we make sense out of
  65. 2:54life.
  66. 2:56We generalize
  67. 2:58all the time. We have to make
  68. 3:00generalizations but they have to be
  69. 3:02intelligent generalizations and you
  70. 3:04always have to offer examples
  71. 3:08to make your point about the
  72. 3:09generalization and that's what I will be
  73. 3:11doing. [music]
  74. 3:12I admit that there are always exceptions
  75. 3:15but if we don't understand that the
  76. 3:17general truths of life, then we cannot
  77. 3:20make any sense out of life.
  78. 3:28So, let's begin with some innate mental
  79. 3:32differences.
  80. 3:34Here is a quote from one study,
  81. 3:37the inferior parietal lobule which
  82. 3:41controls numerical brain function is
  83. 3:44larger in males than in females. On
  84. 3:46standardized tests, men often score
  85. 3:49higher on mathematical tests than women.
  86. 3:52I don't see a problem with acknowledging
  87. 3:54that but I
  88. 3:55want to note [clears throat] that this
  89. 3:57difference exists. Males are more prone
  90. 3:59to autism, ADHD
  91. 4:02and Tourette's syndrome while women are
  92. 4:05more susceptible to mood disorders like
  93. 4:08anxiety and depression.
  94. 4:10As the list continues, women tend to
  95. 4:13remember all the details while men
  96. 4:15usually keep the main point in mind.
  97. 4:18Virtually everyone who has
  98. 4:21lived with, been married to a member of
  99. 4:24the opposite sex
  100. 4:26again, virtually everyone knows how true
  101. 4:28that is.
  102. 4:30Women remember the details for example
  103. 4:32of a conversation, men remember the
  104. 4:35bottom line.
  105. 4:37God, is that ever true and it leads to
  106. 4:39certain miscommunications because
  107. 4:41sometimes women think
  108. 4:43that the man wasn't listening.
  109. 4:45So, I have a very helpful thing to say
  110. 4:48to the wives
  111. 4:50watching this video.
  112. 4:52>> [music]
  113. 4:52>> It is not true that your husband does
  114. 4:55not listen. You won't listen for a
  115. 4:57minute. So, you didn't mean a word of
  116. 4:58what you said yesterday, did you?
  117. 5:00No, that's not what I meant. Your
  118. 5:03husband does listen. [music]
  119. 5:04He doesn't remember.
  120. 5:07That's that's really significant and you
  121. 5:10do remember. In fact, women's memories
  122. 5:12are sometimes in in marriage a problem
  123. 5:15because she will remember [music]
  124. 5:16something he said 10 years ago or did 10
  125. 5:19years ago and he doesn't remember
  126. 5:21exactly what was said or done yesterday.
  127. 5:24This is not a flaw, this is just a
  128. 5:26[music] feature. Men, and I am one of
  129. 5:28them, I remember the bottom line. I
  130. 5:30don't remember the details on how we got
  131. 5:32there.
  132. 5:33>> You did talk to her, didn't you?
  133. 5:34Frankly, I forgot to do it. Slipped my
  134. 5:36mind. What? Really? You forgotten our
  135. 5:39anniversary. That's right, dear.
  136. 5:42Oh, no. No, no.
  137. 5:45I I was just trying to tease you.
  138. 5:50Men do not take things as personally
  139. 5:53[music]
  140. 5:54as insultingly, if you will, as women
  141. 5:57do.
  142. 5:57Here's a Harvard report of a study.
  143. 6:00[music]
  144. 6:01While men can be aggressive and
  145. 6:04combative, a new study shows that from
  146. 6:06the tennis court to the [music] boxing
  147. 6:08ring, modern equivalents of one-on-one
  148. 6:11conflict, men are more likely than women
  149. 6:14to make peace with [music] their
  150. 6:15competitors after the competition ends.
  151. 6:19Using videos of four sports [music] in
  152. 6:2144 countries, the professors found that
  153. 6:25quote men are far more likely to engage
  154. 6:27[music] in friendly physical contact,
  155. 6:30handshakes, back pats and even hugs
  156. 6:33following competition than women are.
  157. 6:37Ultimately, Professor Joyce Benninson
  158. 6:40said, quote, the implications of the
  159. 6:43study could reach far beyond the
  160. 6:46boundaries of the playing field. What
  161. 6:49we're talking about is women having a
  162. 6:51harder time when they have to compete
  163. 6:53with other women. Studies have shown
  164. 6:56that when two females compete in the
  165. 6:58workplace, [music]
  166. 6:59they feel much more damaged afterward. I
  167. 7:03think this is something [music] human
  168. 7:04resources professionals should be aware
  169. 7:06of so they can mitigate it.
  170. 7:08>> All I need to know is who do you think
  171. 7:11you are? Pretty much all of you know
  172. 7:14this. You don't need a Harvard report on
  173. 7:16this. So, I'll give you another example.
  174. 7:19When men really like each other, they
  175. 7:22insult each other. You're chump.
  176. 7:25Imagine two guys, good friends, even
  177. 7:29good acquaintances
  178. 7:30and they they're both at a banquet
  179. 7:34[music] or something
  180. 7:35and one guy goes to the other, you know,
  181. 7:37Jack,
  182. 7:39you are really ugly. [music]
  183. 7:42The other guy will probably insult him
  184. 7:44back. They'll both crack up and in man
  185. 7:48speak, they will know they really
  186. 7:50[music] like each other.
  187. 7:52It is inconceivable
  188. 7:54that the closest female friends in the
  189. 7:56world would [music] make such a rib.
  190. 8:00>> [laughter]
  191. 8:00>> Cindy, you you you really look ugly
  192. 8:03tonight. That could easily end a 25-year
  193. 8:06friendship. Men are also much more
  194. 8:09physically aggressive. I remember being
  195. 8:12greeted once at the door by two little
  196. 8:15sons of a friend of mine and they just
  197. 8:18jumped all over me.
  198. 8:20Basically attacked me. This is the way
  199. 8:23we like it, fast and hard hitting and
  200. 8:25clean.
  201. 8:25>> And I thought, gee, two little girls
  202. 8:27have never done that when I came to the
  203. 8:29door. Storm and take a position by sheer
  204. 8:31physical force.
  205. 8:32>> Men are more physically aggressive and
  206. 8:34of course, if it's not held in check, it
  207. 8:36could do a lot of damage.
  208. 8:39Women have to hold their natures in
  209. 8:41check and men have to do it with their
  210. 8:43natures.
  211. 8:46Why by the way is all of this important
  212. 8:49at all? Because the better men and women
  213. 8:51understand each other, the more they'll
  214. 8:53accept each other's differences and that
  215. 8:56can serve as a very big help in their
  216. 8:59relationship. That's why it's important
  217. 9:02to understand the other sex and let me
  218. 9:03tell you something. The other sex is
  219. 9:06correct. In fact, the old term for it is
  220. 9:09the opposite sex
  221. 9:10and in some ways,
  222. 9:12we are opposite sexes.
  223. 9:15But that is a very big deal about not
  224. 9:18[music] taking things personally and the
  225. 9:21fact that guys will hug after beating
  226. 9:23each other up and women won't.
  227. 9:30I have a story for you.
  228. 9:33The former president of Harvard
  229. 9:36University, Larry Summers,
  230. 9:38who was a member of the Clinton
  231. 9:41administration, [music]
  232. 9:42a lifelong Democrat, a lifelong liberal,
  233. 9:46told this story while still president of
  234. 9:49Harvard University.
  235. 9:53The report. In his talk, Harvard
  236. 9:55President Larry Summers
  237. 9:58used as an example
  238. 10:00about the different temperaments [music]
  239. 10:01of men and women one of his daughters
  240. 10:05who as a child was given two trucks
  241. 10:09in an effort at a gender neutral [music]
  242. 10:12parenting.
  243. 10:13Trucks always associated with boys
  244. 10:17yet she treated them almost like dolls
  245. 10:22naming one of them Daddy truck and one
  246. 10:26[music]
  247. 10:27baby truck.
  248. 10:29I think that's a very powerful story. Oh
  249. 10:31Mommy. What's the matter Paul?
  250. 10:35Are you hurt? Women are more innately
  251. 10:37nurturing. [music]
  252. 10:39This drives
  253. 10:41many people crazy.
  254. 10:43>> [music]
  255. 10:43>> They don't want to believe it
  256. 10:45particularly women of the world of
  257. 10:48higher education or if you will
  258. 10:49feminists.
  259. 10:51>> [music]
  260. 10:51>> They rejected this idea at the outset.
  261. 10:52This was all socially induced. Women are
  262. 10:56not more nurturing but it's really odd
  263. 10:58for people to say [music] that given
  264. 11:00that women give birth
  265. 11:02and that women are the mothers of
  266. 11:05children.
  267. 11:06>> [music]
  268. 11:06>> If women were not more nurturing it
  269. 11:09would be a very bad scene for the human
  270. 11:11race.
  271. 11:12>> You must never never touch those
  272. 11:13scissors. Do you hear? You might put
  273. 11:15your eye out baby. As anyone who has a
  274. 11:19child with a member of the opposite sex
  275. 11:21has probably experienced if the child at
  276. 11:24night moans cries
  277. 11:27it is overwhelmingly likely that the
  278. 11:30mother [music] will hear this and the
  279. 11:32dad will continue snoozing.
  280. 11:35Is that not innate?
  281. 11:37Many people believe in evolution
  282. 11:40and I'm I'm certainly not here to argue
  283. 11:42pro or con on evolution. I'm merely here
  284. 11:44to say that if you are one of the many
  285. 11:46who do
  286. 11:47believe in evolution
  287. 11:49you have to believe that the human race
  288. 11:52evolved for at least one of the sexes to
  289. 11:56be more nurturing with regard to the
  290. 11:59offspring than [music] the other.
  291. 12:01That's that's the way it works and one
  292. 12:03had to be more aggressive [music]
  293. 12:05conquer the world while one is taking
  294. 12:08care of the domestic place. I'm merely
  295. 12:11pointing out what is a physiological
  296. 12:13fact a physiological slash psychological
  297. 12:17fact.
  298. 12:19Women are more nurturing. By the way
  299. 12:20it's proved even in the macro not just
  300. 12:23not just in the home but in the macro.
  301. 12:26>> [music]
  302. 12:26>> Women overwhelmingly are more likely to
  303. 12:29vote for the parties that want to
  304. 12:31nurture
  305. 12:33those in society who are for example
  306. 12:36poorer.
  307. 12:38They vote for the nurturing party
  308. 12:41>> [music]
  309. 12:41>> the one that promises more benefits is
  310. 12:43the one that they will more likely vote
  311. 12:45for. I'm not taking a position on it.
  312. 12:47I'm merely describing how women's
  313. 12:50natures will even be reflected with
  314. 12:53regard to the [music] nurturing aspect
  315. 12:55in in terms of how they vote.
  316. 12:57>> We all know it takes a long time.
  317. 12:58>> As one psychiatrist Dr. Steven Marmor
  318. 13:02UCLA Medical School
  319. 13:04as he said to me and I quote him
  320. 13:08women are optimized it's a perfect word
  321. 13:11optimized [music]
  322. 13:12for taking care of a child.
  323. 13:17I don't see why [music] that is
  324. 13:19even worthy
  325. 13:20of
  326. 13:22denial.
  327. 13:34And now
  328. 13:36to the toughest difference
  329. 13:38because it's such a sensitive arena and
  330. 13:40it's one that causes so many problems
  331. 13:43between the sexes and that is sex.
  332. 13:49>> [music]
  333. 13:53[music]
  334. 13:55>> Let's begin with what arouses each
  335. 13:59[music] sex. They are not aroused
  336. 14:02identically.
  337. 14:03>> [music]
  338. 14:03>> With men it is and this is key and this
  339. 14:07is very very hard [music] for women to
  340. 14:10fully understand because it does not
  341. 14:13work the same way in women.
  342. 14:16Men are far more aroused
  343. 14:18>> [music]
  344. 14:18>> by the visual.
  345. 14:19>> Woody thought of Janice and how good
  346. 14:21looking she was. Hey you look mighty
  347. 14:24pretty. By the way I have a perfect
  348. 14:27proof.
  349. 14:28That is how gay men are also [music]
  350. 14:31aroused. That's proof this is not
  351. 14:33socialized. This is not something
  352. 14:36society does to acculturate men. Oh you
  353. 14:40should look at women as sex [music]
  354. 14:41objects. Gay men look at males as sex
  355. 14:45objects.
  356. 14:47By the way it's not the only way men
  357. 14:49look at women. It's not the only way gay
  358. 14:51men look at men although with some men
  359. 14:54on on a very brief hookup it is
  360. 14:57and it would be for a heterosexual man
  361. 14:58on a brief hookup. But obviously men
  362. 15:01love many things about women. However
  363. 15:04the visual is the immediate most
  364. 15:07powerful [music] turn on in the male.
  365. 15:10That is not true for the female. Of
  366. 15:12course females are turned on by the
  367. 15:14looks of some men but it's some men.
  368. 15:17>> Todd good looking nothing at all like
  369. 15:20the drips around school.
  370. 15:21>> This notion whenever I've raised it on
  371. 15:24the radio women will call up oh you're
  372. 15:25telling me I'm not turned on by a good
  373. 15:27looking man. I have never said that. I'm
  374. 15:30not saying that now. I'm just saying
  375. 15:32it's not comparable.
  376. 15:34After I gave a talk on this subject oh
  377. 15:36this has to be at least 25 years ago.
  378. 15:38>> [music]
  379. 15:39>> A guy in sales at my original radio
  380. 15:42station came over to me one day
  381. 15:45>> [music]
  382. 15:45>> and he said Dennis you have no idea how
  383. 15:48true this is about the visual.
  384. 15:50The other day I was walking past
  385. 15:53a department store
  386. 15:56and I caught myself
  387. 15:58looking up the skirt of a mannequin.
  388. 16:04If that doesn't prove the power of the
  389. 16:06[music] visual in men a mannequin an
  390. 16:08inanimate object made out of plastic
  391. 16:11women are not doing that.
  392. 16:13>> All I want you to do Cal is explain
  393. 16:15everything to my wife and then you go
  394. 16:17home.
  395. 16:18The visual is so overwhelmingly powerful
  396. 16:22in men that it is just that difficult in
  397. 16:25[music] women to understand this.
  398. 16:28That is why men spend
  399. 16:30thousands
  400. 16:32of times more money maybe hundreds of
  401. 16:34thousands maybe a million times more on
  402. 16:37pornography than women do solely because
  403. 16:40of the power of the visual.
  404. 16:42>> Queens of this theater we have some of
  405. 16:44the most beautiful girls in the world. I
  406. 16:46might add that none of this is a way of
  407. 16:49giving men a green light
  408. 16:52to act inappropriately. Oh I got turned
  409. 16:55on and I couldn't help myself. It's not
  410. 16:57an excuse.
  411. 16:59It's a problem
  412. 17:01the ease with which men are stimulated
  413. 17:03by the visual [music] is a problem.
  414. 17:06But the fact that reality poses a
  415. 17:08problem
  416. 17:10is [music] not a reason for a mature
  417. 17:12person to dismiss the reality.
  418. 17:22>> [singing]
  419. 17:25[music]
  420. 17:37[music]
  421. 17:42>> So visual turns men on.
  422. 17:45What turns women on?
  423. 17:48The visual is only one of them and it is
  424. 17:50not usually the biggest.
  425. 17:52The number of women who are attracted to
  426. 17:56men who [music] are not particularly
  427. 17:57good looking
  428. 17:59is almost equivalent to the number of
  429. 18:01men who are not particularly good
  430. 18:03looking. You don't think there's
  431. 18:04anything wrong with me? Oh forget it.
  432. 18:07I've got to go now. We'll talk about
  433. 18:08some other time.
  434. 18:10So I'll give you a little list of things
  435. 18:12that [music] turn women on
  436. 18:14more than looks.
  437. 18:16No order of importance. Voice.
  438. 18:19>> I have a secret darling.
  439. 18:21I'm an awful fool. Height brains
  440. 18:25personality
  441. 18:27money success
  442. 18:29fame
  443. 18:31power
  444. 18:32charm sense of humor
  445. 18:35confidence.
  446. 18:37By the way a man doesn't need all of
  447. 18:39them but some of them definitely are
  448. 18:42needed to turn a woman on.
  449. 18:45That's a much more complex list than the
  450. 18:48visual. Women are aroused by their
  451. 18:51minds.
  452. 18:52>> [music]
  453. 18:52>> Men are aroused by their eyes.
  454. 18:55Men are also aroused by their minds and
  455. 18:58women are also aroused by their eyes.
  456. 19:00I'm totally aware of that but if you
  457. 19:02want to be honest there's no comparison
  458. 19:05between the two.
  459. 19:07Here's what a woman writer wrote.
  460. 19:10Good looking guys are nice to look at
  461. 19:13but good looks won't hold our interest
  462. 19:17for more than a few minutes.
  463. 19:20Your face and body are side dishes.
  464. 19:24The main course is how well you're able
  465. 19:27to engage us to make us feel like we're
  466. 19:29at the center of your universe if only
  467. 19:32for a short stint
  468. 19:34which requires self awareness [music]
  469. 19:36and self confidence. We'll swoon over
  470. 19:39how you hold yourself walk and talk not
  471. 19:44how closely you resemble [music]
  472. 19:46Brad Pitt.
  473. 19:47So it takes far more to arouse a woman
  474. 19:50than just [music] seeing a good-looking
  475. 19:53man.
  476. 20:01>> [music]
  477. 20:06>> I read of a study
  478. 20:08where they asked college-aged men
  479. 20:11to sit alone in a room
  480. 20:13for hours.
  481. 20:15No book, no TV, nothing. Just sit alone.
  482. 20:19Same with same age group of young women.
  483. 20:23Then they asked them, "What did you
  484. 20:25think about?"
  485. 20:27Generally, the answer among men was
  486. 20:29sports and sex.
  487. 20:32Now, the answer of women was what really
  488. 20:35fascinated me as a man. I I yawned when
  489. 20:38I heard what the men thought of.
  490. 20:40But, the women was [clears throat] of a
  491. 20:42revelation to me.
  492. 20:45The women reviewed [music]
  493. 20:47conversations.
  494. 20:49Men don't review conversations as a
  495. 20:51general rule, just for the record.
  496. 20:55As I said earlier, they only remember
  497. 20:57the bottom line, but women remember the
  498. 21:00details.
  499. 21:01That's a very big difference.
  500. 21:04A friend of mine in high school,
  501. 21:07and I didn't expect this from him cuz he
  502. 21:09didn't strike me as a particularly
  503. 21:12active
  504. 21:13girl chaser,
  505. 21:15came over to me one day and said,
  506. 21:16"Dennis, I did some questioning of some
  507. 21:19of the guys in the class,
  508. 21:21and I've come to the following
  509. 21:23conclusion.
  510. 21:24One out of every 10 thoughts a guy has
  511. 21:29is not about sex."
  512. 21:36After the power of the visual and what
  513. 21:38turns them on as being different
  514. 21:41is the variety. Men
  515. 21:43want variety. [music]
  516. 21:45It is built into men.
  517. 21:49I'm always amazed at the at the men who
  518. 21:51are living with [music] or married to
  519. 21:54truly gorgeous women, among the most
  520. 21:56gorgeous
  521. 21:57in the world, [music]
  522. 21:59and then they will have an affair with a
  523. 22:01woman, sometimes who isn't [music]
  524. 22:04half as good-looking as their wife.
  525. 22:06Because what is moving them
  526. 22:08>> [music]
  527. 22:08>> is the variety impulse in men.
  528. 22:12Men love women.
  529. 22:15Women love a man.
  530. 22:18That's a very big difference.
  531. 22:20By the way, these differences [music]
  532. 22:21make for a lot of problems between the
  533. 22:23sexes.
  534. 22:24There's no doubt about it.
  535. 22:26But, if you're a grown-up, [music] you
  536. 22:27address life
  537. 22:29even when it's difficult, even when what
  538. 22:32you realize causes problems.
  539. 22:36That's what a grown-up does.
  540. 22:38Then you deal with it and you control
  541. 22:40yourself,
  542. 22:41and you understand the opposite sex
  543. 22:43better. [music]
  544. 22:44But, to deny it is to be a child and not
  545. 22:47be willing to be a grown-up facing
  546. 22:49[music] reality.
  547. 22:50Men want variety. That is the way we are
  548. 22:55made.
  549. 22:56>> [music]
  550. 22:56>> Period.
  551. 22:57Gay men want variety and straight men
  552. 23:00want variety.
  553. 23:01>> [music]
  554. 23:02>> Again, just for the record, this is not
  555. 23:05to absolve a man
  556. 23:07from controlling his nature.
  557. 23:09>> [music]
  558. 23:10>> Men
  559. 23:11have a lifelong battle with their sexual
  560. 23:14nature.
  561. 23:15>> [music]
  562. 23:16>> Good men win that battle.
  563. 23:18By the way,
  564. 23:20there are some good men who even lose
  565. 23:21that battle on occasion, or at least
  566. 23:23[music] once,
  567. 23:25and they shouldn't have, and it was
  568. 23:27wrong.
  569. 23:29But, it doesn't make the man necessarily
  570. 23:31bad. I mean, if if if he's a habitual
  571. 23:33cheater,
  572. 23:35this is not a good man.
  573. 23:39So, this does not absolve men,
  574. 23:41but I want every woman watching this to
  575. 23:43understand
  576. 23:45>> [music]
  577. 23:45>> the man in your life, if he's faithful,
  578. 23:48that's an achievement.
  579. 23:51It's bigger achievement than in [music]
  580. 23:53most cases when a woman is faithful. If
  581. 23:55she loves her husband
  582. 23:56and they have some degree of of of a
  583. 23:59decent [music]
  584. 23:59intimate life,
  585. 24:02it is not a struggle
  586. 24:04in her life on a on a on a regular
  587. 24:06[music] basis to stay faithful.
  588. 24:08But, no matter how much a man loves his
  589. 24:10wife, he has to fight his nature.
  590. 24:14>> [music]
  591. 24:14>> I know you'll never hear this,
  592. 24:17but it is true,
  593. 24:18and it is worth knowing.
  594. 24:21>> [music]
  595. 24:23>> I suggested on my on my male-female hour
  596. 24:26on a couple of occasions [music] that if
  597. 24:28your husband, for example, takes
  598. 24:30frequent business trips,
  599. 24:32you might just want to say to him at
  600. 24:33some point, "Honey,
  601. 24:36I know the temptations that are out
  602. 24:37there, and I I just want you to know
  603. 24:40I really appreciate your fidelity."
  604. 24:44>> [music]
  605. 24:45>> It's a big deal for a man to know that
  606. 24:47you appreciate
  607. 24:49the battle that he has to go through
  608. 24:50with his nature.
  609. 24:56American Psychological Association,
  610. 24:59February 2013,
  611. 25:01a classic study, they called it a
  612. 25:03classic study by Clark and Hatfield from
  613. 25:061989, found that men are much more
  614. 25:10likely than women [music]
  615. 25:11to accept casual sex offers from people
  616. 25:15they find attractive.
  617. 25:17That's exactly right.
  618. 25:18>> [music]
  619. 25:19>> That's part of the variety issue and the
  620. 25:21and the visual stimulation issue.
  621. 25:24>> [music]
  622. 25:24>> It's built into men.
  623. 25:27Women are not wired as men are for
  624. 25:30casual sex.
  625. 25:31>> [music]
  626. 25:31>> And we have too many proofs of the
  627. 25:36countereffects
  628. 25:38that the hookup culture, as it is called
  629. 25:40on college campuses, for example,
  630. 25:42[music]
  631. 25:44the consequences
  632. 25:46that are so negative for so many women.
  633. 25:47Not all. Nothing is all, but for most.
  634. 25:51So, what has [music] happened to women?
  635. 25:52What is the damage done by women being
  636. 25:54taught this nonsense that you have a
  637. 25:57male [music] sexual nature and can find
  638. 26:00casual sex as as enjoyable
  639. 26:04as men can?
  640. 26:06This is from the National Institute of
  641. 26:09Health, July 2013.
  642. 26:11The relationship between multiple sex
  643. 26:14partners and anxiety, depression, and
  644. 26:17substance dependence disorders.
  645. 26:20Yeah, the relationship. Australian
  646. 26:22Family Physician, December 2017,
  647. 26:25Psychological Distress and Risky [music]
  648. 26:27Sexual Behaviors Among Women
  649. 26:29Aged 16 to 25 Years in Victoria, [music]
  650. 26:33Australia.
  651. 26:34Psychological Distress.
  652. 26:37A woman writing an anonymous column in
  653. 26:40The Guardian, again from the left,
  654. 26:42[music] February 2008,
  655. 26:45expressed the problem this way, quote,
  656. 26:48"As a feminist, I believed the personal
  657. 26:50was [music] political and that I had the
  658. 26:52right to the same sexual freedom as men.
  659. 26:55In reality,
  660. 26:56open relationships were a nightmare,
  661. 26:58[music]
  662. 26:59painful, seething with repressed
  663. 27:02jealousy, and personally destructive."
  664. 27:06Women, [music] since I was in college,
  665. 27:07have been taught that their natures are
  666. 27:10just like men's.
  667. 27:12Men can enjoy casual sex
  668. 27:14>> [music]
  669. 27:14>> and a large number of different women,
  670. 27:17and by golly, why can't you?
  671. 27:21>> [music]
  672. 27:22>> Well, I'll tell you why most women
  673. 27:24can't.
  674. 27:25Cuz they're not wired in that direction.
  675. 27:29Sex is just a physical act with just
  676. 27:31another male body
  677. 27:33doesn't do for women what the physical
  678. 27:35act with another [music] female body
  679. 27:36does for men.
  680. 27:44Love and relationships.
  681. 27:46Both sexes want to be loved [music] and
  682. 27:49to love.
  683. 27:50That's a given.
  684. 27:52But, there is something additional that
  685. 27:54is [music] different.
  686. 27:56And this is the way I put it.
  687. 27:59Men want to be admired by the woman
  688. 28:02[music]
  689. 28:02they love.
  690. 28:04Women want to admire
  691. 28:06the man they love.
  692. 28:09>> [music]
  693. 28:10>> That's a difference.
  694. 28:11It's a subtle difference,
  695. 28:13but it's a big difference.
  696. 28:15A man loves a woman, he wants her to
  697. 28:18admire [music] him.
  698. 28:20And she wants to admire the man that she
  699. 28:22loves.
  700. 28:24And finally,
  701. 28:26men have bigger brains, but it doesn't
  702. 28:28mean smarter. [music]
  703. 28:29But,
  704. 28:32both sexes get stupid. Both do.
  705. 28:35When they don't think with their mind,
  706. 28:38but with another organ.
  707. 28:41>> [music]
  708. 28:41>> In the case of the woman, the heart. In
  709. 28:44the case of the man,
  710. 28:45>> [music]
  711. 28:46>> the penis.
  712. 28:49That can get you in a lot of trouble.
  713. 28:52Both sexes have a battle
  714. 28:55with one of their organs. It's never
  715. 28:57been put that way that I know of. I'm
  716. 28:59not trying to be original, but I admit
  717. 29:02[music] it's probably a new thought.
  718. 29:06One of my courses for the master's
  719. 29:09program is on the moral obligation to be
  720. 29:13happy. You should make the decision to
  721. 29:16be happy, or at least to act happy, even
  722. 29:20if you're not. We are filled with moral
  723. 29:22obligations in our lives.
  724. 29:25You can become a really wonderful human
  725. 29:27being if you battle your nature.
  726. 29:30And in the sexual realm,
  727. 29:32and in the realm of the differences
  728. 29:34between the two sexes,
  729. 29:36it's most obvious.
  730. 29:38We each have our battles,
  731. 29:40and we should help each other
  732. 29:42master
  733. 29:43those battles.
  734. 29:46When done [music] properly, the
  735. 29:48differences between men and women
  736. 29:51are sort of
  737. 29:53the proverbial jigsaw puzzle.
  738. 29:56Two very different pieces
  739. 29:58that fit
  740. 30:00almost perfectly.
