A short YouTube monologue (by Anwar White) advising people who feel guilty about dating multiple men. The speaker reframes dating multiple people as taking the chooser role (pointing out men have historically dated multiple partners), draws an analogy to applying for multiple jobs to find the best fit, and attributes guilt to cultural conditioning (e.g., Disney narratives). The speaker emphasizes separating casual dating from exclusive relationships and seeing dating as a process to find the best partner rather than assuming 'happily ever after' with the first casual partner.
Bisoi said, how do you get rid of.
Guilt dating multiple men at once? By realizing that these guys are doing it.
That men have been doing it for centuries, and that you get to do it, too, and that this is about you taking on the role of the chooser instead of waiting to be chosen. That ultimately your success is predicated on the fact that you have to find the best person for you. Yeah. Would you only go to.
Would you only apply to one job and that's it if you were looking for a new job? Or would you apply to many and see what the best offer is with, you know, the best salary and the best benefits and time off and all of that and the best manager and team? That's what we're doing here. Yeah. The reason why you feel guilty is because when you're dating someone casually, in your mind, you're already thinking that you're with them and you're not. So you're going to have to separate casual dating from being in an exclusive, committed relationship. And it's not your fault, because this is kind of conditioned and programmed since Disney days. Yeah.
You don't. Most of the movies that you see in Disney, they never get married, really. But in your mind, they're together. So you equate happily ever after, which is being with someone. Let me know if that makes sense. So this is why. This is how it, like, starts. When you think, oh, I'm with someone, that means I'm just going to be happily ever after with them. No, no, no.
