[upbeat music] Yeah, this is a common...

I'm gonna leave it.

I'm gonna leave it.

I want you to imagine it as Delta.

Yeah.

As a father of two daughters, I would say, just like you have to evaluate whether the person you're about to get in a car with, an Uber, is crazy or not, you have to evaluate people.

That's part of life.

Yeah.

You have to be realistic about people and, and i- if not, if you're wanting the world to change and the world to be everyone's got perfect intentions, I'm here to say that's not gonna happen.

So your, your only choice in life is to be discerning.

You have to be discern- I had to be discerning about the people I dated, and women have to be discerning about who they date.

That's also true.

I don't think you can say that you're powerless over the ways of manipulation.

I think that's like, then what are you also gonna give your credit card number to somebody that's trustworthy? Like, there's all these r- areas and realms where we all realize we have to be discerning, and I think in love you have to be discerning too.

Yeah, and you can expect the people who you grow to care about or have intimacy with or tell you they care about you, y- they, you should, you can believe them.

You shouldn't, you should not have your guard up for your entire life.

That's bad.

I think you have to have a re- a, a reasonable size fence.

Not to the sky, but it has to be realistic.

You know, I had a friend who met a guy who was on a TV show, who was gorgeous and rich and young, and within a week of dating he was saying he wanted to have a baby with her.

And I said, "That, hey, I'm waving my hand over here.

That's crazy and not normal.

That's not how w- works.

Um, you may have found the one person if that's how it's gonna work, but like, I'm here to say that's crazy.

No guy in that situation is trying to have a baby with someone he's known for two weeks." And that person did not want to hear that at all.
