Oh, he's so romantic and mysterious and edgy and oh, he's so hot. Let's give him a six pack abs. Even though he chugs beer every day, all day, we'll give him a six pack. We'll make him 1000 years old. And we'll give him a wife issues and all of a sudden, he's like the ultimate like. Every girl will be wet looking. Reading about this dude, it's like. What is going on here? Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Sheep Get Sheared Podcast. I'm your host, Austin Creed, and my friends, we're going to have a very important discussion about romantic novels and how they are ruining relationship. Now. There has been plenty of discussion done by a mainstream media done by on social media, by people. All the time, oftentimes by, you know, fathers, uncles, grandpas, all these people to men about the dangers of of, of prawn and looking at lewd images. And you know. Those that's talked about at length all the time about the dangers, how it does this, and not to women and not whatever, you know, it's not discussed and that I think is a disgrace. Romance novels. Because romance novel industry is huge. As a guy who has his own book, Biblical Bachelor I I couldn't I self published because publishers don't want to publish things that are off the beaten path. I have a friend of mine who I respect a lot and he told me all the time about how Oh no one wants to pulp. No one wants to publish him and he's talked to like 100 people, if not more. They won't publish him not because he's bad. I've read his work, his work is fantastic. I would name him, but I don't know if he wants me to put his name out in the streets. What I will say is this. The romance novel industry is destroying relationships, and I'll explain to you why. Romance to women is like prawn to men. Romance gives this idea of to women that men are to cater to them, that we're supposed to make them a priority, and we're supposed to make them feel these butterflies and they'll cite not real life examples so much as they'll cite books, movies, TV shows. Theater plays. They'll cite these fantasy unreal examples of what? Ohh this is what romantic chivalrous men do, or they'll bring up examples of chivalry and men about how chivalry is going, the way of the dinosaurs, and they need to bring it back. Here's what they're not talking about when it comes to Chevy. What about the duels that men used to have when they felt disrespected? Do I want to bring that one up now, whether it was the men with muskets during, you know, 1900s? In 1800s, or whether it was back in the day when in the days of medieval Europe when men had swords and and bows and arrows and crossbows and all, and Spears and all knives and. Where's that conversation that I don't see anybody having that conversation, but yet whether it's vampires, werewolves, superheroes, like, there's this idea of the of men, and we're supposed to be so romantic. And we're supposed to be catering to her needs as if she's our entire world. But simultaneously, we've got to have power. We gotta have wealth. We got to be good looking. We gotta have all these things that all require exorbitant amount of time. Sacrifice effort. But we're supposed to just have all these things, not only supposed to have them. We're supposed to work to get her and romance her and be so. Oh, he's so wonderful. Yeah. And then they compare Mr. Fantasy Giga Chad to. This average dude who is trying to build himself, he's hitting the gym, he's going to get a better job. Maybe he's getting an extra degree. Whatever it is he's doing, maybe he has a blue collar trades job and he's working his way up and building his clientele. He could be doing any of these. Things. But he's not Mr. Giga Chad with a sword. He's not Mr. Giga Chad. Who wants to cater to her? Who's romantic? But here's what they also don't tell you. People love the site. Romeo and Juliet. Right? Oh, it's tragic, but it's so romantic. You know, that happened. Like the span of, like, a couple of days to a week, tops. And two by today's standards, they they were teenagers and kids. And they ended with them deleting themselves. What part of that? Is romance, are those sites stuff like Twilight? The dude is like 1000 years old. The same women who would, who swoon over these fantasy men who are like 1000 years old, who look like they're 17. They have no problem with the dude looking who's actually 1000, dating a girl who's like 16 when he's 17, but he's actually 1000. But they'll then say, oh, an 18 year old girl who's dating a 40 year old man. Oh, no, that's predatory. That's disgusting. The same women will be like, oh, he's he's a vampire and he's 17. But he's actually was born like, 1000 years ago. This what? This romantic. No, no, I'm not lying either. Ohh, man. See, that's what I'm talking about. We it's the same thing with, like, the the sex toys industry. But we won't get into that right now. That's a topic for another day. But when we talk about romance. Is. Most men are actually romantics. Here's the part that they don't have. They don't have the money. They don't have the looks. They don't have the power, they don't have the charisma. They are lacking and everything else, because there are women right now who are addicted to romance. They're addicted to love. Getting this love that only lasts a month, two months, three months, and then it goes away, and then they're back on the street, finding a new guy to love them. Men want to talk about body count as a body count is the end all be all? How about you ask a woman? When was the last time she fell in love with a guy? How many times has she actually loved a guy? That's. That I'll give you a real example of how broken she is on the inside and how willing, how likely she is to divorce you if you're dumb enough to. Commit to her. See, these are the tough conversations a lot of women without you even realizing it. Not only are they comparing you to the guys on social media who are real, we're also kind of faking their life. But we'll ignore that and comparing you to. Like these these. Fantasy giga chads. We're also romantic. That's the equivalent of duets. Comparing women to the to the Prawn Stars they see in the. Videos. But of course one gets called out and the other gets cast aside as if it's not important. Oh, it's very important. Because it's ruining relationships. It's presenting a false view of the of them, of men. There are so few men who could fit that priority, if any at all. But the women will look for that man for 20 years till they're 4030 and they'll say, well, I'm running out of time so. Like a quarterback at the end of the game who's down? By 6 I'm. Gonna throw a Hail Mary buzzer beater shot to. It. And hope for a touchdown catch, at which point, even if I win the game and I get married, I'm not attracted to that guy. I don't really love that guy because he's not. He's not some miracle hero, Giga Chad, but they find in the books or even they'll get married, even if they'll be happy. The relationship so-called and then I'll read a book about this giga Chad, 17 year old and vampire, who's actually 1000. And then they'll be like. He's so attractive. He's so dangerous. He's edging, he's hot and they'll go over with their husband and they'll be like. Well, he's boring. No. Or look over their boyfriend and be like, why isn't he like that? I'm not making this up. I wish I was, but this is a unfortunate fact of reality that people. Don't want to talk about. How romance novels present this fake view of men this the standard that almost know if any man could ever reach. And they're supposed to go in to pursue that. And if I don't do that, then they have to lower their standards as if they're doing you the favor. Me. Well, you're the one who's busted your behind. Risked 1, lost, done all these things, but yet she's settling for you because you're not. Mr. Giga Chad, 30 year old king with a, with a Kingdom and and all this crap. I mean, I gentlemen, this is a real thing in the street. This is a real factor in relationships that people won't tell you because it's not polite to tell you the truth. But the truth hurts. The truth, like good medicine, tastes lousy, but it's extremely effective. Getting rid of the infection in this case, the infection is this fantasy. This lie that you've been told as men, we need to cut this. We need to cut this crud out. And we need to start shooting straight. Pause and have a real conversation about why in the world, more people don't call this out. Romance novel industry is huge. You don't believe me? Go to Barnes and Noble. Go to your local independent bookstore. Look at how many romance novels there are. And a lot of them aren't these men who, OK, in real life, they call you a creep, but you'll be shocked. I went to Barnes and Noble recently with my sister. I looked through all these sections. There's a story about a romance novel. I am not joking there. I forget the name of the book, and even if I didn't know it, I wouldn't give it the clout. I walked down the romance novel section. I see stories about dudes who are being their wives, stories about dudes who are stalking chicks. Stories about dudes who have alcohol problems and they're like damaged war veterans, and like all these dudes who are called. Evil, toxic, disgusting. Creep. All this stuff. All they gotta do is find Giga. Chad. Give him one flaw like that, and then automatically. Oh my. God. Oh, he's so romantic and mysterious and kingian. Oh, he's so. Hot. Let's give him a six pack abs. Even though he chugs beer every day, all day, we'll give him a six pack. We'll make him 1000 years old and we'll give him a wife, issues and all of a sudden, he's like the ultimate like. Every girl will be wet looking. Reading about this dude, it's like. What is going on here? Like. Guys, I'm sorry, this is just this. This killed me on the inside because people want to blame prawn and I get it. That's cool. It does damage men. This is true. But we don't want to talk about romance novels and how they present this idea of men being Mr. Mr. 1% of 1% man. Who has all these flaws? But all these flaws are sexy because the guy who has them is Giga Chad. But then we look at the guy who's not getting Chad, who has these qualities or this guy, and he's a menace to society. He's suddenly not romantic anymore, cause the idea is what they like. They don't like the idea of you actually being there. They're at the idea of potentially having you. See, women, like everything around intimacy. They don't actually like intimacy, with very rare exception. Unless you can really go with something, you know it takes a special unless you. Unless your game just be crazy women or your size or whatever. Pause. You are not going to. Have that reaction women are going to like everything around the ACT itself. They're not going to just jump into bed with you. It doesn't. Happen. Sometimes it does, but most of the time not going to happen. Gentlemen, we need to call this out because this is a disgrace. Oh, and you best believe women are going to defend it. They're going to, they're going to turn it on you. As if you're the problem for pointing it out. They're very clever and very manipulative like that. You gotta stop. You gotta not let that crap fly. You got to stop playing that games. Make them answer the question. Make them a tone for this behavior. When it comes to. Asking them why that's OK, but dudes who watch prawn, they're not OK. I'll be. Have them explain that. I would love to hear that, but my friend. I'm curious what you had to say about this. I can't be the only one who's fired up about this because this is a serious issue that's underground. People don't either know and they don't want to talk about it or they have no idea. And then when I when they hear me talk. About it, they're like. That's kinda crazy, so let me know what you think. Maybe you have experience with this? But my friends, you take care of yourselves. Ask these hard questions, because they're very important to your growth as a. Man. Anyways, my friend, you take care of yourself. I'll see you next. Time peace out.
