Iliza Schlesinger – What a waste of honesty and intelligence

[iShouldBsleepingParticipant 3]

I listen to podcasts at work and decided to give hers a try since I enjoyed her Netflix special. Let me preface by saying I liked her special because she was the first female comedian I’ve heard admit and be honest about how women manipulate men almost innately. I gained a little respect for her in that regard. Also, she’s pretty funny.

So I listen to her podcast and became very intrigued. I either find myself engaged by her male like sense of logic, or disgusted at her self-appraised (over appraised) sense of value in the dating world. Today’s episode with Dr. Drew Pinsky however was a doozy.

Iliza’s usual M.O. is that she thinks she’s quite attractive and  has disdain for “ugly” people, especially when they hit on her. I assume she gets upset about this because she’s scared that these “ugly” dudes think they can get her, which would mean her self-appraisal is too high. Well she says two things in this podcast that give a scary look inside today’s female psyche.

The first thing was she said something along the lines of she wants her partner to worship the ground she walks on. Normally I would take this as a joke but I could tell she was kind of serious. Even not taken literally, she basically meant she wants a guy to be at her beck and call. I could also tell she doesn’t seem like the kind of chick to return the favor, and if she does she sure doesn’t show it. If anything ahe alludes to how she is often uninterested and aloof towards boyfriends. I know you might say “well we’ve known this about women for a while now,” well it was just really eerie to hear.. and to hear it in a kind of serious manner.

The second thing was she used the movie “Something About Mary” to describe her feelings on women in the dating world. She says that beautiful Cameron Diaz has two high quality dudes and one average dude going after her, but in the end the two quality dudes end up being crazy and she ends up settling for the average dude, and that’s the plight that is the attractive woman. So basically she just played make believe that she is Cameron Diaz hot, and she feels like society is going to force her to settle for a dude that she believes not to be as attractive as her. This is where womens side of the problem lies; they think they are hotter than they really are.

I think men are more realistic when it comes to assessing their value in the dating world.. women think because they’ve gotten a good looking dude to have sex with them that his high level of attractiveness is their new standard when it comes to finding a boyfriend. Wrong. That is your new F buddy standard, you’re gonna have to come back down to Earth for someone to commit to you. News flash though, by the time you get back down here all your prospects are going to look at you like an alien.

Yeah. Usually that is articulated something like this: “I want to be treated like a Queen”.

Except what she means is “I want to treat a man like one of my subjects”.
That’s what being treated like a queen is – in HER mind.

If a man permits this, she will be miserable and unfulfilled and resent the s~~~ out of him. You have to ignore that crap.

IN REALITY (the universe in which no woman lives), only a KING decides if she can become queen.
And in the case of Henry VIII, if he wasn’t pleased with her … it was “OFF WITH HER HEAD!!!!!”.

Being “treated like a Queen” only works if you’re the King, and she recognizes you as such.
If she wants a man to be one of her subjects, she can take a hike.

Bill Cosby once said; The game of chess is often thought of as a game of strategy and nobility. But it’s not . It’s MARRIAGE. The QUEEEN can move WHEREVER SHE WANTS. And the King… moves ..one… small… square… at…. a… time. He is powerless.

On the surface women will say “she wants her partner to worship the ground she walks on”.
But they are too dumb to know that if a man permits this, she will be MISERABLE.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Tell me about it. Hot men looking for an easy lay will often f~~~ ugly women, and in turn women actually start believing that they can get a similar guy to commit long term. What foolishness.

Reminded me that in the East (where it was invented), they don’t call the piece queen, they call it vizier, a Persian word which means “prime minister” in English. Which is quite fitting considering that a minister has all the power, even more so than the king!

The scary part, and the main reason I made the thread, was that she literally said she wants the guy she’s with to worship the ground she walks on. Half of me is disgusted but the other half kind of respects her for at least not lying about the ridiculous things she expects. That’s what’s so intriguing about her.

Again though it’s a waste. While her honesty is refreshing, her truth is unrealistic and offputting.
