so george clooney gets married uh on cnn
they had a discussion about whether this
quote fairytale bachelorhood
uh ending was a bad thing okay i think
that is a fair discussion that i would
like to pick up here at the young turks
okay
okay now a lot of us believed in george
clooney
we thought that he was going to hang in
there the whole time and that
she that he was never going to get
married again he was married originally
for i think four years and that he was
going to be the one guy who withstood
all of the societal pressure and said no
you know what
i'm good-looking i'm famous i'm rich i'm
going to continue to have sex with
incredibly hot women for the rest of my
life
but over the weekend i hear this ladies
and gentlemen
we got him
down goes clooney down goes clooney
what did you do to us george you killed
the tree
you're ridiculous okay so can we just
discuss how there's always this
misconception that like
dudes never want to get married and they
just want to put the p away right
right you know what i'm saying and that
women are like oh my god marry me
marry me i really really want you to
marry me okay uh okay
so we've done stories no there are women
that are eager to get married i'm not
discounting that at all i definitely
know that that is true but at the same
time like we've done
stories about studies that indicate that
men
tend to be much happier after marriage
and healthier after marriage and women
usually tend to be more stressed out and
less healthy in general right
now it's true but people don't know that
okay they don't know that but also
like stop insulting men and thinking
that they're just thinking with their
penises all the time
men want love and affection too that's
right but they do
like they're the ones they're the ones
who propose they're the ones who want to
be in the relationship if you if you
just want to have random sex all the
time then don't get in a relationship
it's that simple it's that simple
all right now in reality okay here's
what happens in reality okay
you go out with somebody for like you
have sex with them what three times five
times
and then they start getting antsy right
oh so like
oh wait to what you're not you're not
going to date me you know it's oh it's
so this is what that was this was cheap
that's what it was right
and then all of a sudden you're in a
two-month relationship all of a sudden
you're an 18-month relationship
all of a sudden ladies and gentlemen
okay i'm not saying anything i'm just
saying no no
look no putting the kid inside kind of
for a second
to me this actually shows um
something that a lot of people don't
talk about the counter of what we always
do talk about which is that
apparently there's also a massive urge
to settle down
because even if george even if george
clooney settles down
right obviously there is some urge to do
that you want to call it a biological
urge whatever now i know there's a lot
of
social pressure too there's no question
about that but look
david beckham clooney brad pitt you name
it the guys who can get the p
as you put it so eloquently
non-stop they don't have to be in
relationships go woman to woman to woman
or you want to be in a long-term
relationship go ahead you do whatever
the hell you want
but they almost all eventually get
married so it's not
just social pressure there's obviously
some sort of imperative
uh within guys as well yeah to want to
settle down at some point i mean there
are parallels
to love and diet right like you can eat
donuts all day and
that shit's delicious right but
sometimes those empty calories they get
to you and you want a nice
steak dinner right so clooney's tired of
the donuts he wanted a steak dinner
and that's what he's getting now okay so
good for him well
okay i mean i thought you were gonna go
with vegetables but okay
you gotta get some protein up in there
right it's a little mix
of both and so you know of course you're
right it's not just women who want to
get married and some women don't want to
get married at all
obviously we have a huge range here but
to me this is a powerful case of
the one guy who withstood all that
criticism in the end decided hey you
know what
there's i want to nest with one
particular person
so down goes clooney and with him the
hopes and aspirations
of all men across the globe wait did i
say that out loud
