[00:00:00]And so the thing about dating with my afro is that I actually haven't done it yet. Yeah. In the year that I've been wearing my hair in an afro like this, I have not been asked on any dates. I've not been taken on any dates. Uh the approach I got in person the last time was like a man like screaming in my face. So that obviously didn't go anywhere. And I think the afro obviously intimidates men. It gives them like black power girl. And yeah, I am. Yeah.

[00:00:26]Yeah, I am. So, I'm not mad that I scare men off because if you're scared, stay scared. [ __ ] Like, I'm not going to make you feel comfortable around me if you're not comfortable around me. Like, the [ __ ] But in saying all that, I've reached a peak where it's like, you know, a girl is getting lonely. A girl has been lonely. Like where are the men?

[00:00:45]Not scared, not intimidated, confident, open, funny, cute, tall, handsome, beard, and nice hairline, nice teeth, at least 6'2. You know, just the little things.

[00:01:28]But the signals are not facts. And afro is not a diagnosis. Doesn't mean angry, difficult, or anti-men. What it means is that different people project different narratives onto their own conditioning.

[00:01:40]Right? Some will say beauty. Some will say pride, politics, highmaintenance, ideological energy. Whether this is there or not, that's how perception works, right? People do not respond only to what sits in front of people. They do it what's in front of them. They respond to a a story that triggers them. So, that's the first thing you have to really think about.
