A short YouTube monologue (by Anwar White) advising viewers—especially women and those working from home—to take solo dates and routinely treat themselves. The speaker argues solo dates set the standard for how one should be treated in future relationships and make it easier to evaluate a partner’s behavior. The tone is direct, prescriptive, and encouraging.
Carlisle said. What's your take on solo dates? I think they're great. I think y' all should be doing them. I think that you should. I think you have to. I think it's an important exercise to treat yourself in the same way that you would want your future man to treat you. Many of you all are not doing that. Do you give yourself treats every week? Probably not.
So you need to start doing that. I think you need to do. Many of you all are not getting out, especially post pandemic, especially the girls that are working from home. Girl, take yourself out. Yeah.
If you can't treat yourself the way that you want to be treated, girl, it'll be actually harder for you to evaluate how a guy is truly treating you because you won't have anything to like, bend. Benchmark it from.
If you are treating yourself the way that you want your future boyfriend to treat you, then anything that a guy does needs to be significantly additive to that. But what will happen is if you're not doing that, if you're doing nothing for yourself, which oftentimes is the case. A guy that is giving you a two feels great and amazing because it's more than what you're doing for yourself. But if you're giving yourself an 8, 9, 10 treatment, he's got to give you at least a or a 10.
