Marx & Singles - FULL VIDEO

This week, Briahna was joined by an all star group for Bad Faith's first co-ed dating panel. Movement lawyer Olayemi Olurin, YouTube phenom FD Signifier, and podcast co-host extraordinaire Katie Halper return to the podcast, while Justin Myles from This is Revolution Podcast joins Bad Faith for the first time. We get immediately into the drama and cover interracial dating, Leonardo DiCaprio & the age question, and other concerns facing leftists in the dating world.

Ok these aren't my favorite, but NGL I'm tuning in just in case I learn I'm Olayemi's type

Coming from a S. Asian / Middle Eastern background, with varied interests that connect me with people from the right as well as from the left, dating in the post-9/11 era was a nightmare. Now, I’m like hanging with 4-paws, a tail, a cold wet nose and a woof, is a far more of a peaceful and healthy experience.🤣😂🤣 It was a funny episode though…

hahaha This was a wild watch! haha Great job! 1. "6 figures" really doesn't mean much when like 51% of people making more than $100,000 is living paycheck to paycheck: https://ir.lendingclub.com/news/news-details/2023/9.3-Million-More-U.S.-Consumers-Ended-2022-Living-Paycheck-to-Paycheck-Than-in-2021/default.aspx Could be because of location/cost of living and/or financial decisions. For me, it's what you do with what you got. I've been broke most my life and just started getting a little tech money like 5 years ago when I decided to turn a hobby into a career. My lifestyle hasn't really changed for the most part, except I can buy random things every once in a while that involve my hobbies (radio, HIPHOP, coding). I get to help out family and friends if they need it (within reason, haha). I'm trying to keep any stress over money out of my life forever. So if the woman I'm dating is in a similar situation, I'm good. 2. shouts to Olayemi for bringing back Cross Colours! haha 3. The part where it seemed like Katie was reading 2 Live Crew lyrics with the the edits. haha Respects to the editor! 4. In addition to Queen of Debate on the Left, Briahna is looking to be a sugar mama! haha 🌹🌹 5. Shouts to Jason for the posters in the background. Reminds me of the ones I would see at the FSU radio station and around town in Tallahassee while I was in grad school. Also, there's no such thing as "OutKast's best album". They're all classic! haha 6. Continued success to FD and his family. Question: I saw R.E.A.M. on his shirt.. Is the first letter C? Wu-Tang! 👐🏾 7. The stories in the first 15 minutes and Olayemi's has solidified my resolve to become a hermit living on top of a mountain and to only come down for HIPHOP and tech events. haha 8. Folks need websites! haha I'm not going to remember all those places and names. "You can find out more at yaddayadda dot something." What if these platforms go away (MySpace) or you get banned. 9. R.I.P. Plug 2 aka Trugoy the Dove aka Dave. De La forever!

Crazy how quickly American leftists become conservative when dating comes up "no Poor's, no miscegenation... no problem!" 🤷‍♂️

How dare you speak about a 19-year-old in these terms?

Briahna Joy Gray, the undefeated debate Queen of the left, mother of reason, destroyer of shitlibs! We see you! (But seriously, if you can't get dates it's because you are too picky, same as me. If you are ever in the L.A. area hit me up, we can be picky together ;))

Very entertaining discussion!

FD is the worst to have on this convo. His politics are always class-based when it comes to black men, but he often only makes room for race when it comes to black women, or when speaking on himself--classic k-hive liberalism. He subsumes every critique of misandry into the mansosphere or hotepism; it's always giving ranked intersectionalism. He probably buys into the "Black Male Slave Privilege" discourse on twitter.

I LOVED this episode. Bri has and always will hold her own. It was so deeply refreshing to hear from a group of my fellows how difficult dating is in this current situation

I wanna see a Katie Jason love affair!

Indeed. I've always found it glaring that the ONE group Brie will not engage with directly is those from the broader manosphere, especially the Black one. Only those like FD who critique it, but who laugh at insults and threats to scholars like Tommy Curry. It's easier to make an over-the-top demagogue like the relatively new Tate an avatar of it. I think Brie and, say, MTR or Allen Obi of We Need To Talk would have a great conversation. A guy with radical Black views who stands firm for Black men like Torraine Walker would have been excellent in this conversation. Brie's dating situation is actually a "red pill" Masterclass; there's a ton of great dudes in her friendzone. Desire cannot be negotiated, and that's true regardless of political stripes

Ty Henry, aka Sports Droppings

Indeed. The dating app analytics are clear. In any given metro area, 20k women are vying for the same 500 dudes. It's not difficult to understand. There's no such thing as women who look like those on the panel who "can't get a date." There just ain't that many Liam Hemsworths and Shemar Moores to go around

Yeah, and I bet about 20k men are for the same 500 hot ladies. But I refuse to date people that I don't find attractive, so it's the same.

Ty Henry, aka Sports Droppings

We agree on the conclusion, but factually, hetero men are less picky than hetero women. Men swipe right 70% of the time. We find the majority of women desirable on some level. We RANK some higher, yes, but those are for debates with other dudes. We're not delusional, we know we got no shot at Arianna Grande or Scarlett Johansson. Apps have revealed that, absent guardrails in the sexual marketplace, a sort of soft polygamy is women's natural state. It's the gift and curse of hypergamy.

I see, even if I grant extrapolating the app data to the rest of the population, I just don't think that anyone should date someone who they don't find attractive not just physically but also personality wise. No matter how much they say Starbucks coffee is good, I never crave it. I actually think it's okay for women to be choosier than men, the stakes are higher for them, for example if they get pregnant, even with abortion being legal in some places, the experience is not pleasant at all, when the guy can just bounce. As for hypergamy, seems to me that most couples I've seen are pretty even on the attractiveness aspect, (I'll grant this is subjective) And as for the economic aspect, that does makes sense to me as historically women have been expected by society to not be career focused, therefore there will be more women who don't pursue careers than men that do, hence them "dating up" in status but it's due to the status quo. I think what we are seeing now is as more women pursue careers which gives them status, instead of having to rely on their partner, this puts them at a higher position in the "dating ranking" (for lack of a better word) and they've yet to realize that, just like men did time ago, they now have less options for dating up than dating down, yet society still pressures them into not dating down economically wise. And I guess that's why it seems they could be delusional, but it's more the societal pressure. Anyway, this is an interesting topic, you made me really think about it as I haven't done so before.
