Gotcha.

And recently a friend of mine recommended how to date men when you hate men upon reading the title, I was incredibly excited.

I thought I would open this book and immediately be greeted with the key to navigating dating in a world where I both love and fear men in equal measure.

I mean, beyond just the disappointment, frustration and awkwardness of dating.

There's all the survival prep you have to do.

Like sending a pin of my location a time limit for when my friend should hear from me by and a code word just in case I'm being held against my will.

Because the advice my father gave me when it came to dating was three words Don't get murdered.

All right, sweetie, you got your pepper spray appointed Kitty key Chain weapon, A GPS tracking necklace and roofie detecting nail polish.

Plus 20 years of hand to hand combat.

Thanks to yours truly.

Have a great time, sweetie.

I hope you have so much fun.

Just relax.

Have fun yourself.

And I hope you need a really nice man.

And look, I'm not saying that women should know how to defend themselves.

I absolutely value and advocate for self defense.

And though murder is never totally off my mind, I know that the worst I encounter are Peter Pants on.

No ever saddling dull, picky bankers.

Hi.

It's me popping up here and there, just in case.

Someday I want to cash in on this on players.

Okay, So, like, I got you a toothbrush, huh?

Yeah, there was, like a sail it like Costco.

So I bought a whole pack.

So whoever needs one could have one now what?

But it's kind of funny that every time I go out on a date, I hope that instead of meeting someone who could potentially end my life, I'm hoping that I meet someone I can start a life with.

Wow, thistles.

Like our third date.

All right, So, like, what are we men?

Look, we don't hate you to quote the book.

I love men individually, but as a group, I hate the systematic oppression of women and the patriarchy.

And the book, unfortunately, isn't exactly a how to manual, but more of a comedic philosophical exploration of dating in general.

But since I want to deliver on the premise of this video.

Here is my advice.

Know that there are good men in abundance.

There are kind, generous, loving men who are looking to settle down or whatever idea you have for your perfect relationship.

And I know that you, as a woman may feel frustrated on a personal, professional and societal level, and you may feel ready to give up.

But all it takes is one.

All it takes is one person to change everything.

And honestly, you never know when they're around the corner.
