Straight Talk with Ted Santos: Recent Episodes
StraightTalk with Ted Santos
More than ever: men are experiencing frustrations with women. The rules of yesterday have quickly changed, and men are unsure how to approach or establish happiness in love relationships with women. Unfortunately, there is no platform for men to come together to discuss these challenges.
Ted Santos and Blair Nash have created a platform to fill that void in society.
It’s rare for men to have a platform that allows them to discuss life challenges – love, work, and family. Instead, as it’s a learned behavior, most men keep many of their concerns bottled inside.
By creating a live call-in radio show through the Internet, ‘Straight Talk’ is a place where men can openly speak about their personal concerns and receive feedback from two professionals – Ted and Blair. Ted Santos is an executive coach and advisor to CEOs of middle market companies. His expertise is also to transform corporate culture.
‘Straight Talk’, which will be broadcast every Sunday from 7:00pm-9:00pm, is a live show. Callers will be coached to find real time solutions to meeting women, dating, relationship challenges or problems in the workplace.
If you ask a woman this question, you may hear a range of responses. One is that women are not objects. They claim the idea of assets and liabilities objectifies women. Ha! Has anyone seen the Instagram models? Too many women believe their ass is an asset to a man. Two, she will claim to be an asset because she is a cheerleader for the husband. Three, she talks about how she takes care of her husband in the bedroom and kitchen. Plus she keeps the house clean. Four, she will boast of her job.
Assets bring money to the table. Liabilities take money off the table. When you do the math, a woman with a job could be an asset if she earns $250,000 a year or more. Since 10% of men earn $100,000 a year or more, a lesser amount of women earn that much. Therefore, there are few women who earn enough money to make them an asset.
Our society has stopped teaching women to be assets to men. Instead, women have been taught that men are the enemy. Yet, the same women want to have children and raise a family with a man. If that man does not bring a sufficient amount of money to the relationship, he is not an asset to the woman. She would rather be a single mother, even if it hurts the child. Tonight we are going to destroy the many myths of the value women bring to relationships.

Before you call me a misogynist, let’s look at the facts. Results indicate that 62% of women have a rape fantasy. Do you understand that 62% is the majority of women? On average, women fantasize about it 4 times a year. However, at least 14% think about it once a week. It seems Snow White and Cinderella fairytales need an update.
While men are being taught that women are made of sugar and spice and everything nice, women are saying dominate me and show me the power of your masculinity. Men are walking around believing they need to buy women flowers and be romantic. Meanwhile, women are desiring the power of your manhood. Just because she tells you to be tender and gentle does not mean that is what her heart and soul desires.
If men are wondering why they have been having such a difficult time with women, it is because they have not been listening to what women are not saying. They are not saying out of their mouths: take me. Consume me. Ravish me. Except, their behavior does say that. And men are bringing flowers and getting on one knee.

Women have a very small window of opportunity to find a good husband. Yet, they are told to pursue college and career before a man. When you add the women who are open to being a side chick, more time will slip away from them. I already did a show on the wall. It is undefeated. It hits every woman at some point. Being the side chick only makes it worse. The side chick or the other woman is the epitome of being a convenient piece of ass.
When a woman is a side chick, she believes she is benefitting. She gets girlfriend benefits without commitment. When the guy she is seeing does not comply with some of her demands, she can extort him.
However, while this game is being played, time is ticking. What’s worse is she has developed a list of bad behaviors that will never work in a committed relationship. As a result, she either completely ages out of the dating market after she is fired as a side chick. Or she is too dysfunctional to be in a committed relationship. Did I mention the wall?

Whether a woman it born in the US, China or Brazil, they all have something in common. They all understand the ticking sound of the biological clock. Not only is there a reproductive clock for women, they look their best in their 20s. At some point, the wall of looks, youthfulness and reproductive organs are diminished in value. The woman hits the proverbial wall. And it is very unkind for many. For some, they look as the wall fell on them. A woman’s ability to negotiate for the best man she could comes to an end.
In China, when a women hits 29, she is called Shen Nu. That means she is a leftover. And she will be treated as a left over in the dating market. This is directly correlated with the fact that at age 35 women begin to be a risk for problematic pregnancies.
However, for some reason, too many women believe they will be the exception to the rule. Women were told to pursue college degrees and a career. They are told to forget about men until they reach early 30s. But women forgot to ask men what they want. The result is more and more women are being viewed as a risk and liability when it comes to pregnancy. Why? They are considered too old for pregnancy. Those women listened to the poor advice given to them by feminists.

Steve Easterbrook is from Watford in the UK. He was also the CEO of McDonald’s before the board of directors fired him. Not only was he fired he gave back $105 million in cash and incentives he earned as a severance package. The reason? It seems Steve brought new meaning to a McDonald’s happy meal.
Steve Easterbrook seemed to be taking his fair share of sex partners in and out of McDonald’s. After investigation, the board knew about a couple of relationships. However, after a whistleblower exposed pictures, it became clear Steve was making his rounds.
This is not the first CEO of a Fortune 500 to lose his job over sexual misconduct. Tonight we will address a short list of those who also violated the contractual obligations of a CEO. You may surprised by some of these situations.

In 1973, there was a tennis match that shaped US culture. It was a match against 55 year old Bobby Riggs and 29 year old Billie Jean King. This was the beginning of the battle of the sexes. In all battles, there are winners and losers. Since this battle has been happening for 48 years, the winner should be apparent. Have men won? Or it is women? Has society benefitted?
Before the pandemic, women made up 51% of the workforce. It would seem Billie’s win over Bobby set a pace for women to have the upper hand. Women have access to higher paying jobs while demanding equal pay as men. However, when you examine the dynamics of this decades long battle, the US may have started a fight where no one wins.

There is so much going on the in the world. With all the media outlets, many people are in a state of information overwhelm. When things appear to get better, another wrench is thrown in the mix.
One of the things I would like to discus is this notion of what people believe they deserve. If you walk into a Bugatti dealer and say you want a particular car, they may say it costs is $5 million. If you don’t have that amount of money, it does not matter what you believe your worth is. You did not do the things to earn $5 million to pay for it. The same goes for when people want a great body. If you did not go to the gym or engage in exercise and diet to create that body, you don’t deserve it.
The same pattern of I deserve or entitlement happens in relationships. Very few take the time to understand what is required to obtain the things they believe they deserve.
For more than a century, women have had access to money and education. Yet, they have never produced a Fortune 500 corporation that employs females only. They have never, ever founded a Fortune 500. For some reason, even though they lack equal accomplishments as men, they believe they are equal.
If men were to accept the idea of complete equality, what would happen to women. Would they be employed in the military, police and fire department? If companies made women meet the same standards as men, how many women would move up into management? When we look at social aspects of life, would women want to have equal responsibilities in dating? Would they want to be penalized the same as men for criminal offenses?
There are obvious cases where women are asking for more than their share. Look at the WNBA. This pattern is seen throughout society. Tonight we are going to undress the topic and deal with the facts. Come join us ladies.

The internet provides women with many opportunities to use sex to earn a living. In the past, women stood on street corners or served as an escort. Today they never have to meet their clients in person. If they do, it is somewhat prearranged with sites like “seeking arrangements”. However, with Only Fans, women can become cam girls.
Tonight I will have a guest who has experience in many of the online options. She is what you would call a sex worker.
The illustrious high value man have been discussed for decades. For many women, they believe he is her dream man. At the same time, what kind of woman is he seeking? If a man is high value, should he seek a woman to also be high value? If so, is high value for a woman the same as it is for a man?
Nevertheless, there are many women who believe they are high value. Yet, men still find them undesirable. How is this possible? It would seem anyone who is valuable is desirable. Yet, many self proclaimed high value women are single and undesirable. Is the high value woman a unicorn? Or does being high value conflict with being a modern woman?

Abuse in any relationship is unacceptable. According to NIH and Harvard University Medical School, women initiate 70% of domestic violence. However, when you watch any media outlet, it would seem men are the perpetuators of violence and women are innocent victims. Has society looked at the impact on men’s mental health with so much violence being initiated by women?
In the wake of the Zac Stacy video, it appears this may have been a case where she was an innocent victim. At the same time, for some reason, the full video has not been released. We have no idea what could have driven him to such rage.
The woman who was the recipient of Zac’s rage says he may be suffering from PTSD. The claim is football causes this in men and changes their behavior. Is it possible? Sure. If it did happen, the men most affected would be the biggest men - linemen. They receive the most collisions during games. Or running backs like Earl Campbell would have had the most severe cases of PTSD.
Nevertheless, Zac has been arrested. Is this a good time for men to take a step back and look at their mental health? One, with so much violence being initiated by women, men need a space to discuss the impact on them. Otherwise, they explode and there is nothing the woman can do. Two, when men do want to have open conversations about what they are feeling, men and women tell them to suck it up. Men are told it is part of manhood to deal with their feelings in silence. Is that tactic healthy?

Since the pandemic, there is so much going on in the world. In the true form of disruptive events, there are many new opportunities in this chaos. Most of the times those opportunities depend on your perspective. How are you seeing the world?
Tonight I would like to discuss your perspective about anything that is on your mind. Let’s open up the good the bad and the ugly. Ask me anything.
One of the topics on my mind is whether or not single mothers are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to compatible mates. In addition, I would like to discuss something for the people committed to the Bible. Is it a sin to marry a divorced woman?

Most people are familiar with the term daddy issues. It refers to a woman who grows up without a father in the home. As a result, she may date much older men. It is assumed her dating strategy is a way to fill the void of not having a father in her life. At the same time, is it possible for a woman from a healthy two parent home to still have daddy issues?
On the surface, it may sound odd to make the claim a woman who grew up with her father in the home can still have daddy issues. However, after listening to many women describe what they expect from their love interest, it sounds as though many females have not acquired the ability to separate their dates from their father. Yes, we all know her father is the first man in her life. Nevertheless, many women have confusion about love from their father. If she is dating a man, she will require him to express love exactly the way her father did. Instead of getting to know her love interest as the man he is, she only seeks the man who is exactly like her father.
This strategy closes the door on most men. If a man reminds her of her father, it is like she demands you play the same role as her father. When you don’t, she is disappointed. That often leads to divorce. And the man never knew what hit him.
If we dig deeper, it gets uglier. Let’s open this can of worms Straight Talk style.

What’s on Your Mind? (YouTube & Chill)
Everyone has something on their mind. Tonight I want to hear what’s on yours.
I made a couple of posts in Facebook. The responses were interesting. In some cases, people completely ignored the question and attempted to make their own. Then they gave answers that had nothing to do with the original post. When I checked them, I was accused of being harsh or insulting.
Is this the kind of communication most people offer? When you call them on it, they pretend to be victims. How does that affect the business world when people have that mindset? Intimate life? Family? Friends?
Those are just some of the things on my mind. What’s on yours?

When you read magazines targeted to women, you learn what is shaping their minds. Those magazines are filled with tips about fashion, sex and relationships. As a man, if you are experiencing a communication gap between yourself and most women, read a couple of female magazines. They will help you bridge the gap. However, when you finish reading them, you may decide the single life is healthier.
After reading and listening to several female relationship experts, it seems women are clueless about being fulfilled in life. In fact, there are a number of articles and videos where women give advice on why the perfect guy is a bad idea. Those women said if you are with a perfectly good guy, there are many reasons to dump him. Ultimately, women are encouraged to always find someone better, even if she is already happy.
It seems women are constantly whispering in one another’s ear, “you can do better”. They encourage one another to monkey branch as though there is a guy who is better than perfect.

Behavior and mindset are passed down from one generation to the next. Until someone breaks the cycle, it will self perpetuate. This can be in your best interests or it can sabotage your best efforts. When it comes to relationships, mothers who had bad relationships with their husband or boyfriend will teach their daughters to do the same. That means little girls are being taught to destroy relationships before they even have one.
In my recent book, Here’s Why You Can’t Find Love, I talk about how these belief systems are passed down. When you understand the signs and symptoms of women who have learned saboteur behavior, you can avoid them or choose to handle them another way.
To support this discussion, I have invited women who have read my book to discuss what they learned about building or destroying relationships.

In 1960, the birth control pill was introduced. That was the first step in sexually liberating women. In 1973, Roe vs. Wade made abortion legal. With over a dozen forms of birth control for women and abortion, women have less concerns about becoming pregnant. If they are impregnated, the government offers a welfare safety net. Has anyone wondered why women are more promiscuous than ever?
In 2021, the state of Illinois has introduced a bill that would allow women to sue a man for unwanted pregnancy. The bill allows women to be victims even if sex is consensual. Are legislators looking for new ways to financially incentivize women for getting pregnant?
This is just one thing on my mind. What’s on your mind today?

For decades, we have heard that women commit and love with all their heart and soul. We are told that it is natural for women to be loving and nurturing. Yet, when we look at who initiates divorce in the US, it becomes difficult to understand the woman’s journey from love to divorce. With that said, men go into relationships looking for a woman to love him with her heart and soul. Since a major reason for divorce is finance, men learn that a woman’s heart and soul come with a sticker price.
At the same time, we have witnessed several billionaires go through divorce recently. Therefore, it seems money is not enough to make a woman fall in love and stay in love.
So when a man enters a relationship with the belief that his woman will love him with her heart and soul, he can be devastated when she files for divorce or cheats. He is caught off guard because he entered the relationship with the intent to reciprocate the same heart and soul love.
I have already stated that corporate America is losing $300 billion a year in workplace productivity because of divorce. Men who are driven by a purpose to earn a living and provide for their family find themselves distracted by the failed marriage. As a result, his productivity at work and life drops. This all happens because of his expectations about falling in love. Is it time for men to wake up to the reality of what love is?

Over the past several decades, women have repeatedly defined and described manhood. They instructed men on how to be more masculine. They told them to get in touch with their feminine side and become better at emotional intelligence. And men took heed. Fast forward, many women complain that men are not as masculine as guys were in previous generations. In fact, many women resent the softness that many men in the US display.
In addition, with the proliferation of the single mother household, many boys have not had an example of a father in the home. As a result of this void, they often use the media as an example to follow and understand manhood. In too many cases, that has become disastrous.
What’s most unfortunate is men and women are not biologically equal. While many women disbelieve this fact, our biology plays a major role in how we see the world as well as the decisions we make. Therefore, it is time for men to sit together and define and guide one another on what it means to be a man.

In the 1960s, women started talking about burning their bras and demanding equality with men. They said they can do whatever men could do, but better. They even said they could raise children without a man in the house. So the “I don’t need a man” mantra marched on. The results are in. Women did not do whatever men could do. Psychologists say children born in a single mother household are disadvantaged. In other words, all of their claims failed.
Now that the children of many of these feminists have left home, these women are experiencing a new chapter of life. Feminism told them men should accept females as they are, including obesity. And the “I don’t need a man” mindset repels men. That makes many of these women undesirable for companionship. Many of these women will live the last 30+ years of their lives alone.
Many women from the younger generation are taking notes. Between the older lonely women and the cautious younger women, has feminism become a thing of the past?

In the age of independent women and equal rights, should dating rituals change? Besides, what is the true purpose of dating or courting? It is the get to know one another. In the past, a man would sit with a woman on her front porch. That was the clearest path for getting to know one another. If they and her parents saw compatibility, the relationship would progress until marriage was the next step. During that progression, it was the woman who cooked a meal for the man at her parents’ home.
Today, dating has devolved to fun, excitement and entertainment. Then people wonder why they never get to know one another. If it is women who strongly desire so much entertainment, should men be obligated to finance it. If her life is that boring, perhaps she needs a mirror. Furthermore, what was the point of women becoming independent if they depend on men to pay for dates?
This conversation is so big I cannot present it alone. I will have a guest you have seen in the past. His name is Cash. You know him also as the Thefix4NewYork. We are going to take a very politically incorrect approach to dating in the 21st Century. You will not want to miss it.

In the US, there is a key word that many people value. That word is authenticity. In fact, many say that people send a ‘representative’ for the first six months of dating. After six months, the real person shows up. When you meet the real person, you understand why they remained hidden for six months. Well, the same could be said about women who do not authentically present themselves in the dating market.
If sending a nice personality for six months is inauthentic, what do you call sending a person with caked on makeup? Would that be a representative? Why are so many women ashamed of their authentic selves? When you think about it, the psychological implications are huge when women are ashamed to present themselves as they are. For men, it means they have to sift through enormous amounts of inauthentic women before they finally find one who is confident enough to be themselves.
When you add fake nails, wigs, weaves, eyelashes, contacts and body augmentation, many women could appear to be clowns in costume. Yet, those same women claim they only date real men. How do men navigate such a dilemma?

This conversation may be one of the most politically incorrect discussions men can have. It is also tough for men to have. Why? It requires r=them to see your mother in a light they have been taught not to see. Many men see their mothers as angelic. They could not imagine her as anything less.
However, I am going to make a case for why women have not earned their sense of entitlement in the same way a side chick with a married man has not earned entitlement. The most a side chick can do is extort a man. We are going to look at the many facets women serve as side chicks to men. And men have allowed themselves to be led by side chicks. After today, you will have a better sense of the reality you live in. And that will help you better navigate relationships with women.

In 2001, the US entered Afghanistan and pushed the Taliban out. With the US military in charge of Afghanistan, feminism could be introduced. In 2021, it seems the tables have been turned. The US military appears to be leaving in a rush and they are taking feminism with them.
With the Taliban back in power, they are demanding many women leave the workforce and send their brothers to replace them. In fact, there are reports that say the Taliban is going door-to-door to businesses and private homes.
Under no uncertain terms would it make sense to say the Taliban is afraid of women. However, you have to wonder if they want to avoid the mayhem that is occurring in the US. Do Afghan men have a better understanding of female nature than US men? Is their way a better path to keep order in society? What can men in the US learn from Afghan men?
This Sunday evening I am going to take a deep dive into this topic with Red Pilled Rican. He had boots on the ground in Afghanistan while serving in the military.

In 1968, a law was passed that changed the divorce rate. The law called for no fault divorce. Before that, there was accountability in marriages. After 1968, people no longer felt it necessary to make the marriage work.
When you look closer, you see women are the initiators of over 70% of divorces. A major reason is irreconcilable differences. When people go through divorce, it distracts them from being a good parent and a productive worker. This is costing the corporation because of reduced productivity from workers and the taxpayer because children can become a problem for the law.
While marriage has traditionally been great for children and the community, there no longer appears to be an incentive for men to marry. Yet, women continue to have babies as single mothers. Can the economy continue to subsidize unproductive workers and unemployed single mothers?

When you hear about recent divorces from people like Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Dr. Dre, many men wonder what a wife can do to earn millions or billions of her husband’s money. It is the man who took the risk and ventured out into the world with his talent and capital. As you know, the higher the risk the higher the reward. These and many other men have earned their keep by providing what the market wanted. What risks does a wife take that can earn her millions if not billions of dollars?
While marriage rates are at an all time low, there are still men who desire children. Marriage can be a wise way to leave your legacy to your children. However, since women initiate over 70% of divorces, it is time for men to consider ways to protect their hard earned assets.
For this show, we are going to explore a number of strategies and the best place in the world to receive asset protection.

It seems society believes men cheat significantly more than women. Statistically speaking there is not a big gap between the amount of men and women who cheat. When it comes to paternity fraud, however, it’s about 30%.
For some men, infidelity is difficult to get over. In an age of feminism, many women believe cheating is their right. This would be one reason many men are avoiding marriage. Nevertheless, there are still men who want the committed relationship. How should they respond to infidelity? What are the consequences of the wrong actions?
Let’s have a man to man conversation about female infidelity.
To make this topic more engaging, I will bring back a special guest - Red Pill Rican.

When you look at dating rituals in the US, women have no skin in the game. The man makes the first move by approaching the woman. If she agrees to speak with him again, it is his job to contact her first. When it comes to texting, she expects him to text first - everyday. If she agrees to go out with him, he finances all activities. Up to now, there is no commitment required from the woman. What’s worse is she can entertain him if she is not even interested in the man.
In the face of recent events, it seems women are not committed even after they have put in effort. Look at Sha’ Carri Richardson. She was a favorite to qualify in the Tokyo Olympics. However, she has been disqualified because she tested positive for THC in her blood system. Why would anyone put in so much effort for an event and then sabotage it by violating the rules of the Olympics? Marijuana does not even enhance performance. Is that another example of how women do not commit? Or is it an example of women being irresponsible and not expecting consequences? Perhaps the lack of commitment leads to irresponsible behavior.
The funny thing is women always claim they commit more than men. Tonight we are going to flush out the truth. It will be the ugly truth that sets everyone free. You will not want to miss it.

Men are taught to love and worship women. In addition, guys are also instructed to provide and protect females. Some men say they will die for a woman. In return for a man’s service to a woman, he receives sex as a treat. On top of that, women say they will take care of his children. Which countries have been successful with this mindset?
In the US, men have become disposable. Yet, they are still expected to follow the mindset like above. If the man loses it all, including health, he will be replaced by the next guy, who is expected to play the same role.
It would seem if men are taken care of they would be better positioned to provide and protect women. Except, in the US, it appears women are the priority. If men deteriorate, society is comfortable with that. There is a saying: you cannot love another until you love yourself. If men will neglect themselves in order to chase and protect women, how much does he love himself? Is this really love men have for women? Or is it a societal contract where men are commoditized into guard dogs and ATM machines? Name the society that has prospered while the men deteriorated.
Join me to uncover some ugly aspects of our society. It’s the 4th of July. Let’s make fireworks!

Kevin Samuels has taken YouTube by storm. For at least the past year, many of his shows have had a big impact. While he is having impact, his viewership continues to grow. At the same time, many men and women are upset with him. They believe his negative commentary should be stopped. However, as he rakes in money for each show, it appears the supporters outweigh the haters.
While all the hype is happening, has anyone one noticed whether or not his impact is positive or negative? Aside from Kevin, who is really benefitting from his shows?
In reality, I do not like giving airtime to other YouTubers. Except, it is time to look at the good, the bad and the ugly of this YouTube sensation.
Let’s get into it tonight.

Today is Father’s Day. Without men, there is not life. We carry life 24/7, 365 days a year. On any given day, we can plant the seeds of life in a healthy woman. Yet, our society has made the claim that men contribute nothing to society. Ha!
Because it’s Father’s day, we will make a tribute to men. Without men, there would be no civilization in an organized fashion. There were be no commercialization of goods and services and the multitude of convenient technologies and industries that make life easier and safer for men and women.
If men are capable of so much greatness, why have we been deemed as toxic and irrelevant? Penis envy? Who knows. Perhaps it doesn’t matter.
What’s also interesting is the amount of research that finds children are emotionally healthier when they grow up in a home with their biological father. Tonight we will explore the facts of how important fathers really are.

Game! We are told men have to have game to get the girl. Really? Who made that rule? Even though men don’t know who made the rule, they faithfully and proudly follow it. In fact, they attempt to shame men who do not follow the rule.
Is game a critical element of great relationships? If so, in what way does it build strong relationships? If not, why employ something that provides no value? In many cases, when you bring things that provide no value, you are left with disappointment and drama. And unfortunately that is the fate of most relationships.
Let’s explore the idea of having game and why men should or should not continue following the rule.

For some reason, women in the WNBA believe they should be paid salaries comparable to men. Is this an example of what men have been dealing with for the past five decades? Women have been claiming they can do whatever men can do, but better. Therefore, they should be paid equal to men. Yet, there is no proof that WNBA players are equal to NBA players. Or is this an example of the fact women do not understand business and economics as well as they believe they do?
The stage is set for the perfect storm. The NBA franchise owners have an opportunity to give women exactly what they want. Give them equality. Completely divest in the WNBA and allow women to play for the NBA. Those who make the team can play. Men are instructed to treat the women the same as they treat men. The women who have equal stats as men will be compensated like men. Women who don’t make the team have to walk away in silence.
This would be a paradigm shift in our society. It would usher in a new and powerful idea of equality. Going forward, all women go through the same scrutiny as women in the WNBA. That means doctors, lawyers, dentists, engineers, etc. would have to perform the same as men. Those who don’t lose their jobs.
On the surface, this may sound harsh. From another perspective, it would give women a dose of reality. And it would increase productivity in the workforce, which would make US businesses more competitive and profitable than they have been for the past five decades. If women don’t like it, they can easily start female only companies in every industry. Then they can allow the free markets decide who the winners are.
Join me for another politically incorrect discussion on social challenges.
Through feminism, we are told men and women are equal. In fact, feminists believe if there are differences it is the result of social conditioning. They don’t believe there are biological differences between men and women. As women attempt to change social conditioning and replicate all that men have accomplished, they fail. If you doubt me, count the amount of civilizations women only societies built. Count the amount of female only Fortune 500 companies that exist. Because they have not been able to accomplish what men have, their next strategy is to hate men and claim masculinity is toxic.
At the same time, if we acknowledge and honor the differences nature made between men and women, we could perfectly complement one another. If, on the other hand, we extinguish masculinity, what would happen to society? According to feminists Camile Paglia, without masculinity, women would still be living in grass huts.
If we continue to demean men for being masculine, the consequences will be more than what women can stomach. While diminished and displaced men can lead to substance and alcohol abuse, the exponential increase in violent crime will be something women will not be able to stop.
Let’s discuss what is in the best interest of society.

When you ask women what their role is in a relationship, they seem to be lost for words. They can tell you what they don’t want. They can tell you what men are responsible for. Yet, they are clueless about their role and how to be a valuable asset to a man. And, for some reason, they believe men should invest in them.
The result has been record low marriage rates. Men are walking away. On the surface, it may appear men are walking away from possible divorce. That makes sense because over 70% of divorces are initiated by women. While that is partly so, men are not seeing how they benefit in relationships. The other outcome is movements like red pill, MGTOW, black pill and many other philosophies that encourage men to take a step back and reevaluate what they are getting out of dating, relationships or marriage.
Perhaps the real problem is women have spent so many decades attempting to compete with men they have forgotten their roles as women. The very thing men want from women is femininity. Now it is a missing trait in western women. When men confront women with the facts, women begin to fill the air with countless excuses.
If women really want to avoid the life of a spinster, it would be wise to sit down and listen to men. Then they may want to go to their grandmothers who might have a better understanding of the female role in relationships.
As for men in the US, they have more options than women. There are women in the US who already understand or are open to learn. When those women are all taken, men can choose feminine women in other countries. No one chases women who pretend to be something they are not. People want authenticity.
Let’s address this in a way men can openly share and women can honestly learn.
This is a live call in show. I invite men and women to participate in this provocative discussion.
For decades, men have been on the defense. Women have accused them of oppression. Yet, every civilization around the world has been built, maintained and protected exclusively by men. As men sacrificed their lives to make life safer and easier for women and children, ladies have condemned men as being evil misogynists. Men have been told how they have stopped women from having equal opportunities.
The fact of the matter is only 2% of men make policies. If women were to be angry with any male in society, it would be with that 2%. Instead, women continue to reward and dote on the 2% of men as they express disdain for the 98% of men who lay their lives on the line for them.
As men step back and look at reality, they see women could have created their own companies instead of begging men for jobs. Instead of taking that path, women demanded seats at tables built by men. What’s worse is women do not want to put in the same effort as men in work, dating or play. Except, they want to be treated as equals.
For men who want to leave that matrix, they have taken a red pill to awaken. Is it now time for all men to take that stand? Or are women right about being severely oppressed? Let’s discuss man to man and woman to man. For the ladies who want to represent how females are misunderstood, you are encouraged to join the discussion.

On the surface, many women say they want the kind, chivalrous gentleman. Yet, in the dating world, the arrogant, confident asshole wins the heart of many women. How is this possible? Mothers advise their sons to be gentlemen and treat women like princesses. That advice is backed up with slogans like ‘happy wife, happy life’. As men innocently march into the world being chivalrous, they find disappointment, heartbreak and friend zones.
On the other hand, the promiscuous, callous man who women call womanizers has access to a stable of women. He even spends time with women who are married to the nice guy.
When you ask women about the discrepancy, the excuses are many. While it is true men are finally seeing the light, do they really comprehend why women yearn for the “bad boy”?
Tonight we are going to open the can of worms and reveal the truth that is rarely discussed.

For the past several decades, many women claim they only needed a man to serve as a sperm bank. Her belief was she could raise the child alone and be the mother and father. While there have been many women who claim they don’t need a man, the child does. When you raise a child in a one parent home, the child is emotionally traumatized. They feel abandoned by the other parent’s absence. Why bring a child in the world if you are not going to give it what they need?
As men, we are the key to a woman getting pregnant, unless she goes to a sperm bank. What’s most unfortunate is many women see men as only a sperm donor. Once she has his sperm, she no longer needs him.
How can we become a strong society if we continue to raise children who are emotionally traumatized? Is it time for men to take a stand and withhold their seeds? Aside from saving children from being emotionally traumatized, it will stop women from exploiting men for child support.
If men took these matters into their own hands and stopped impregnating women, how would society benefit? Would there be a need to marry?

If you’re a man and you’re going to get a divorce, New Hampshire is the best state. The worst state is California. If, on the other hand, you have been cohabitating, you may not get off the hook that easily. You could still be liable for making monthly payments to your former lover. It is called palimony.
While only 10 states recognize common law marriage, there are certain requirements that have to be met for your live in girlfriend to qualify for palimony.
Let’s discuss this to get the facts. Just the facts.

In a classic 70s film, we will see where the feminist movement started to pick up steam. The characters in this movie are a great demonstration of how men have been asked to be less of a man than they were in the past.
At the same time, it also shows what happens when the red pill man enters society. He disrupts blue pill status quo and breathes life back into manhood.
This movie stars some of Hollywood’s greats. It was such a hit that it won best actor, actress, director, film, screenplay and many of awards. While it is a great movie, it could not have been created in today’s politically correct climate. It clearly outlines how men have been shutdown over the past several decades.

We live in an age of information overwhelm. When it comes to diets, there are thousands of books that guarantee weight loss. When it comes to exercise, there are trainers that promise the perfect abs. Yet, the US has the title of the most overweight country in the world. How can so many great solutions for health equal unhealthy people?
At the same time, the gap between the rich and poor continues to increase. Is there a connection between health and wealth?
To answer these and many more questions, I will bring in big guns. Her name is Kenya Catlin. She has an enormous amount of expertise in food, nutrition and healthy exercise. She and I will explore how those elements contribute to a rich and fulfilling lifestyle. And we will look at finances as well.

When you speak to most women, they want to convince you they are different than other ladies. The irony is people who really are unique do not have to convince you. You pick it up after speaking with them for a few minutes. Yet, many men seek love in other countries with the hope they will find a woman who is not common.
If you are only looking for uniqueness that is skin deep, it will be easy to find that in another country. If you live in a major city, you can find it in your backyard. When you get beyond physical looks, you may find women around the world are made of the same stuff. There are certain things you may not be able to get around, like hormones and the desire for a great hunter - money.
Let’s explore women from other countries to see if there really is a difference. If there is, let’s talk about it. If not, it may be time for men to rethink how they deal with the women in their own backyard.

For the past 100 years, women have had the right to vote. Has society benefitted? If you ask women, they will say it has. However, it will be difficult for them to quantify exactly how their votes have advanced society.
There are more single mothers today than there were 100 years ago. Single mother households create emotional trauma for the children. When you have repeated cycles of emotional trauma for generations, society loses. One result is increased incarceration and drug addiction.
Women have been able to survive as single mothers because they repeatedly vote for government handouts. They also asked the government to demand that military, police, fire fighters and corporate America lower the bar so it is easier for women to be hired. Without lower standards, many women would depend on a man for her financial well being. And traditionally that was a great path for a two parent household and a healthier society.
When married women look at the government, they are more concerned about laws that impact their family. They are less likely to want to see their tax paying spouse have to finance programs for women who claim they can do it on their own. By on their own, they mean the government or taxpayer funds for their living expenses. Married women would rather see programs that benefit her entire family. That means she is looking out for what is in the best interest of the whole. Single women are interested in their on self interest.
Imagine if money for government handouts were used for more infrastructure projects and to finance entrepreneurs. Is it time to rethink who is qualified to make decisions in this nation?
Tonight, Sunday, March 28, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
For years, a man by the name of Derrick Jaxn has demanded that men become better. At the same time, he has promoted women as great whether single mothers or not. His personal position on infidelity is that cheating is unacceptable. He promoted himself as the quintessential man for relationships and spoke boldly to men for why they should do the same. As you can imagine, women love him.
With this perfect image, he married a lovely woman several years ago. However, in the past few days, his side chic has exposed him. In fact, she says they were having sex in his wife’s bed.
With this said, has Derrick Jaxn conned women? Has he simply told women what they wanted to hear? If so, what can women learn from Derrick and others who make a living telling women nice things just to make them feel good. More importantly, what problems can arise when women allow themselves to be so easily exploited?

This is not a joke. In the UK, it was proposed in jest. At the same time, it was suggested to Parliament by Baroness Jenny Jones. The whole commotion came about because of the disappearance of Sarah Everard. Because of her disappearance, authorities warned that women might want to use cause before venturing outdoors alone in the evening. In response, the Baroness thought it would be safer if men remained locked in the home after 6:00 pm.
Needless to say, the Baroness’ statements were not taken kindly. Men and women have lit up social media as a result.
The irony is Sarah was abducted and murdered by Wayne Couzens who is a police officer who has patrol duties on diplomatic premises. While the crime is an outrage, penalizing all men would never be a wise solution. Studies show strict imposing laws tend to backfire and increase violence.
With that said, more and more women in London are saying they feel unsafe walking the streets of the UK. Women are suggesting men take extra precautions to avoid contact with women in public.
Will this mindset make its way to the US. Let’s discuss.

As a society, we are conditioned to believe women always give their all in relationships. We are told how loving and nurturing women naturally are. If this is the case, why are more and more men walking away from these women?
In a recent conversation with men and women, we discussed why women expect men to love more than the woman. When women were honest, the truth was exposed about how women really feel about men. There is a mindset that is responsible for the female saboteur. It is one where women have the wrong view of men. Yet, somehow the woman appears to be the victim.
Let’s discuss a relationship dynamic that is unknowingly causing men to leave or cheat. It’s an idea that may be rooted in a smart intention. However, it is destructive.

It’s movie night. I will use a classic movie to illustrate the mindset of men and women. It is a movie that shaped US culture for generations. While the one liners and historical contexts have been forgotten, the culture of manhood and womanhood have not.
The movie was made in 1942 and some of Hollywood’s finest. As always, I am going to offer an unconventional insights into what is happening in male female relationships. This classic is filled with knowledge that can help men better navigate relationships with women.

This has to be the ugliest topic I have ever covered. At the same time, it may be a growing trend and is not being covered sufficiently in the US. Both men and women need to understand this emerging aspect of our society.

From 1944-1964, the black community experienced its greatest economic prosperity in the US. During that time, a vibrant black economy was being built. Like any growing economic entity, it would experience growing pains. In a business, companies obtain bridge loans to make it though that troubling and painful gap.
However, in 1964, that gap was bridged with government help. It was called the civil rights act. That act encouraged affirmative action and desegregation. Without anyone realizing it, the downward spiral began.
The world has become a global community. Different communities throughout the world work together to produce products and services. To ensure their communities thrive, the people in those regions buy and sell to one another. When they don’t, they create an economic void in their community.
In other words, the world is being held together by group economics. If your group lacks the ability to work together, your group will fail. It will have nothing to do with racism. It is a matter of your group succeeding or failing economically. One sign of a failed group is the inability to leverage its most talented minds. Squandering those minds is a form of intellectual cannibalism. When you don’t want to be responsible for your groups cannibalism, it is easier to blame it on racism. Or is it really racism? If I am off base, I am willing to concede to the perspectives others. Let’s discuss tonight.

In the US, every year corporate America loses $6 billion in productivity because of divorce. If you think about it, a percentage of employees are headed for divorce. Another percentage is in the middle of one. And some are just coming out of one. Since divorce can emotionally distract people, it becomes difficult for staff and management to focus on work. Therefore, it would be wise to understand the lessons learned from those who have had the misfortune of experiencing one.
Divorce can not only drain you of money. It can rob you of time and peace of mind. While many are happy to be out of the marriage, many are not. Divorce is not something most people intend to experience when they say “I do”.
For this show, I would like to take a close look at the lessons people learn from divorce. If you have experienced one, do not hesitate to call in and share your thoughts. If you are seriously considering marriage, you will not want to miss this show. It will give you a perspective to consider before tying the knot.

On one hand, men are being called toxic for their constant displays of masculinity. On the other, every civilization has been built, maintained and protected by the same masculinity that is being called toxic. From our school teachers to Hollywood to our parents, boys and men are being shamed for proudly displaying masculinity.
The irony of this is many women complain that men are not as manly as they use to be. In addition, women are demanding that men provide and protect in relationships. For men to provide, they need to exude the competitive nature of a man. To protect, our masculinity must always be on display to deter others from harassing our family.
These mixed messages are causing massive confusion for boys and young men. They grow up believing masculinity is bad. As men, they struggle to find their way to a place that feels most natural for them. That place is one where they feel comfortable and empowered being masculine. How do we resolve this dilemma that society has imposed on men?
Join us for a thought provoking discussion. We will have this conversation with young men who are facing this challenge.

In the 1960s, women burned their bras and claimed they could do anything a man can do, but better. They said they are able to perform better than men in the workplace. They claimed they could be better leaders. And they said they could have as many lovers as men.
Since the 60s, women have become 51% of the workforce – pre-covid. They are entrepreneurs, CEOs of Fortune 500s and in cosmopolitan areas, companies have started paying young women higher salaries than men. More importantly, women have claimed sexual liberation and enjoy the bliss of having multiple sex partners. Is society better off?
It seems we no longer have to say the jury is still out. There are lots of statistical data and scientific facts that paint a picture of the impact on individuals and society. Tonight we are going to explore those facts and everyone can finally take their heads out of the sand.
Tonight, Sunday, January 24, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
Today is International Mentoring Day. To commemorate this day, we are going to reflect on the effectiveness of mentoring and coaching. To help us understand the impact of coaching and mentoring, we are going to look at what executives around the world say about their leadership development programs.
One of the major resources for this discussion will be McKinsey & Company. They are the premier global consulting firm. They hire a lot of smart people. As a result, they provide insights that rise above the rest and dive deeper to ensure the reader has a grasp on the challenges they are facing.
Whether you are an executive, entrepreneur, parent or employee, leadership is necessary. Even the receptionist needs leadership skills to know how to direct in-coming calls or visitors to the office.
In the dating world, more and more women are demanding men be great leaders. However, if most of the books and leadership development programs are failing to meet the needs of people, where will men go to develop these skills many ladies are demanding?
For the first time, I will display many of the leadership skills I have developed through my personal and professional life. These are the skills that have allowed me to lead family through some of the most chaotic circumstances. Fortunately, many of those same skills were transferable to my position as an executive in a fast growing company with nearly 200 people. Shortly after running businesses I enhanced my skills by working for a consulting firm that provide leadership development services and mindset training.
Today I will be at your service to help you overcome some of the professional or personal challenges. Join me for an interactive discussion and gain the benefit of a virtual coach/mentor.
While there are valid health reasons to avoid sex, it is not the reason 38% of marriages are sexless. Some may say withholding sex for non-health reasons is abuse. In the simplest form, we have heard about men who have been sent to sleep on the couch by his wife. In other cases, he is in the doghouse. These are moves women make when her man is not doing what she believes a man should do. Sometimes he took an action she did not like or she deemed distasteful. In the worst case, women use sex as their weapon.
Since sex is the most intimate thing a couple can do, what happens when it is used to punish or manipulate your significant other? Is that the kind of action or communication that increases intimacy? Or does it drive a wedge between the couple?
For decades, men have been told to suck it up when sex is withheld from him. In the worst case, the man commits adultery. Either situation can potentially damage the relationship. However, for many women, it might make her believe she has power and control when she withholds sex.
When you dig deeper, you have to ask why anyone would want to have power and control over someone they supposedly love? To uncover some of these deep rooted issues, we are going to bring in the big guns. We will have a guest who is a psychologist. He is Charles Rivers. For decades, Charles has served many couples as a marriage counselor. Through his experience and expertise, we will uncover the impact withholding sex has on relationships. We will also explore more effective ways for couples to preserve the depth of their intimacy while they simultaneously resolve important relationship challenges.

Over the past two years, marriage rates have dropped to historic lows. Men say women are not feminine enough. And women say men don’t earn enough money. As a result, they both have opted out of matrimony. When you factor in movements like MGTO, red pill, SYSBM, black pill and others, you see men are taking a stand and completely walking away from women. As you can imagine, this only makes the notion of successful marriages an obsolete past time.
If you want to build a thriving community and generational wealth, marriage has been the traditional path. Married couples save more, are more likely to have stable careers and bear children who grow up in stable households. In addition, corporate America shines favorably to married people when it comes to moving up the corporate ladder. In the face of so many benefits, people are still shying away from marriage. Without question, the high divorce rate has been a discouraging factor.
As more women enter the workforce, it will become increasingly more difficult for them to find a suitable mate. Since the global pandemic has occurred, over 900,000 women have voluntarily left the workplace. Will the pandemic be a catalyst for women to leave their jobs? If men are hired first to replace those jobs, will it tip the scale to make men financially attractive to women? Are men who have walked away willing to return to traditional ideas of dating and marriage?
Tonight, Sunday, January 3, from 7:30pm-9:30pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
As the year 2020 started, the “me too” movement was making a larger impact on society. While it had already devastated the careers of many men, it was about to obliterate the lives of many more. Then, from nowhere, the entire world was disrupted by covid-19. Nations were shut down as people were put on lockdown. When that happened, the “me too” movement seemed to fade into absolute silence.
Furthermore, a litany of facts was quietly flooding the Internet. Marriage rates in the US are at historical lows. Yet, the percentage of divorce rates remains over 50%. What was most interesting is the myth of husbands quitting on their wives has been exposed as a lie. Women initiate over 70% of divorces. Couple that with the Harvard Medical School revealed females initiate 70% of domestic violence.
As 2019 ended, women made up 51% of the workforce. It seems men are being pushed out. However, as the global pandemic continued to pick up steam, over 900,000 women voluntarily left the workplace. After men do all the heavy lifting and make life is easy, women run to the front of the line and demand equality.
What messages are women sending men? Movements like MGTOW, red pill, black pill, SYSBM, and many other men’s movements have taken notice of the facts. And they are dissatisfied with many of the actions women have been taking for the past 50 years. What lessons have men learned from 2020? How will women reconcile the length of time they shouted, “I don’t need a man”? If the pandemic makes life more difficult, will women desire to play a traditional role in intimate relationships? As a society, where do we go from here?
As we move into playoff season for football, it becomes easier to know who the winners and losers will be. For some players, this may be an end of their career. For others, they are just getting started. Is it possible to pick out superstars before they have a chance to prove their exceptional abilities? Whether you call it character, grit or “that something special”, there are players who have the “juice”.
To talk about the players and teams that have this “juice”, we are going to have a very special guest. He is a man who can recognize top talent before the person becomes top talent. He says certain people just have the “juice”.
His name is Ken Becks and he has been a talent scout for years. In fact, he goes by the name “The Scout”. We are going to discuss talent in the NFL and which teams have the best chance of playing in the Super Bowl. We will also discuss which college players to look out for in the NFL.
At the same time, Ken says people who have the juice can be high performers on and off the field. We will discuss how to recognize talent and what to do with it. You will not want to miss this discussion. It is the conversation that could change your life forever. Join us!

For the last 50 years, the United States has been a social experiment. The first test market for that experiment was the black community. The experiment was to see what happens when you give jobs to women, instead of men. The results? It has been single parent homes, increased crime and suicide, drugs, murder and incarceration. In the face of this, black women believe they are winning.
As we look at the broader society, the same pattern is emerging. Jobs are handed to women instead of men. As we have already seen, employed women do not want to marry unemployed men. Unemployed men become criminals, substance or alcohol abusers, homeless or all of the above.
Furthermore, the single parent home creates emotionally traumatized children. Those emotionally traumatized children are shying away from marriage. However, women are still becoming single mothers. And the cycle and downward spiral continues.
Where is this going? Women claimed they wanted their own money. To do what? Are they saving to start their own nation? As it stands, women make 77% of consumer purchases. That does not sound like they are doing a good job saving. What is the end game for women? Currently, they make up 51% of the workforce. What will happen to the nation if women make up 60%, 75% or 90% of the workforce? Will we just build more homeless shelters for men? Or will all men be in the military? The results from black the community say it will increase crime. That will leave single employed women unprotected and vulnerable. Who will protect them? Unemployed men? Another country like China? Where is the US going?
The USA has a history. Throughout that history, many have come to this country and found enormous opportunities for the pursuit of wealth and happiness. For others, they have found a road paved with obstacles. Whether those obstacles were the result of driving down the highway or seeking job opportunities, they have had doors shut in their faces or their faces slammed on the concrete for a shake down. The people most often facing the unfortunate circumstances have been black men from the US.
To avoid the shake downs or closed doors, many of those black men have opened their eyes to life in other countries. There they are finding a culture that embraces them. They are opening businesses, networking and finding women who shower them with affection and traditional values. For those not seeking love, they are finding women who have preserved a feminine mindset and have a much healthier attitude towards men. Aside from having doors closed in their faces, many black men have noted the lack of femininity from women in the US.
To explore the realities of the good times and business ventures, we will have a guest who has seen it first hand for years. His name is Dennis Spurling, Esq.
Dennis is an entrepreneur and practicing attorney. His area of expertise in law is personal injury. He has also used his entrepreneurial skills to exploit opportunities in other countries. Over the years, he has built an enormous global network and learned the ins and outs of doing business abroad. He has also learned the value of embracing the culture of the women who live there.
Join us for an educational and thought provoking discussion about seeking opportunities abroad.
If we look at the facts, you will see that feminism has caused more psychological damage than war. Feminism has made women believe they don’t need men. That mindset has encouraged women to file for divorce. Divorce has created broken homes. Broken homes have emotionally traumatized the children. Emotionally traumatized children have behavioral problems. Those children grow up to create bad marriages, become criminals, substance or alcohol abusers and rapists. That then creates a new generation of emotionally traumatized people. Then around and around we go. Where we will stop no one knows. The cycle continues.
This cycle is built on a feminist’s platform. Feminism declared a battle of the sexes. To this day, they promote hatred towards men. Instead of declaring war on men, why didn’t those women pack their bags and go to an island where they could create their own civilization from scratch. That is what men have done for eons. Why haven’t women done the same?
If we want to correct the social problems in the US, it is not enough to teach your sons and daughters about the harms feminism has done to society. They must be taught to be anti feminist. How do you do that in a country that has shoved it down your throats?
To discuss this, I will have a very special guest. She is a mother and has taught her children the realities of US culture. She has taught them the importance of cooperation with the opposite sex.
Let’s have the conversation that should have taken place decades ago. Let’s walk on the politically incorrect side of life.
For decades, women have shouted ‘I don’t need a man’. Instead of the traditional path of a woman finding a compatible husband, she now seeks college degrees and a professional job that make a husband obsolete. In addition, many young girls were told they should not fall for the first guy. They should try their options.
The result of this new revolutionary women’s movement has caused the lowest marriage rates in US history. Divorce rates are over 50% and there are more young men under 30 who are still virgins than any time in US history.
In addition, many men have become cautious about marriage. The risk of losing half their assets and paying alimony for life has become a deterrent. Furthermore, women say they want to be treated equally. However, for some reason, when it comes to dating, women want to be treated traditionally. As men fill the traditional role in dating, they are wondering what’s in it for them. This has caused many men to take advantage of feminist’s ideals. Those ideals encourage women to have sex with as many men as possible. Why? Because men do it.
At one time, the end game of dating was marriage or a committed relationship. Since women no longer need men and men are shying away from marriage, what is the end game? Sex? If the ultimate end game is sex, men are wondering why exhaust resources for sex only. In some cases, dates do not end in sex. As a result, more and more men are walking away from the idea of traditional dating. The hook up culture is taking its place.
Join us for this provocative discussion about the end of an old era and the beginning of a new one. Who will ultimately win? Who will lose?
When it comes to marriage, most understand why a woman would marry a man who earns more than she does. It makes life easier for a woman who wants to raise children. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are a great example of a woman marrying up. While this example is common, it happens even if the woman has a high income and net worth. However, when a man marries up, do people view it the same? What does the man gain by marrying up? Are those marriages just for love? Or are they because the pool of eligible bachelors is too small? Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian are an example of a man marrying up.
In the case of Serena Williams, some people say she settled. Why? When they married, her net worth was more than 20 times greater than his. Even though he was worth $3 million, many claimed she was marrying down. Our society only seems to approve of a man marrying down.
Do men benefit by marrying up, regardless of socioeconomic class? Are wealthy women marrying down for eye candy? Or do they avoid marriage like Oprah and Stedman? Or do wealthy women believe they no longer need a man because marriage puts her assets at risk in the case of divorce. Since women make up 51% of the workforce, will it become more common for women to marry down?
Let’s talk about whether or not the man or woman benefits when she marries down. Join the discussion.
The US has become the nation with the fattest people on the planet. Here we claim bigger is better. People want big SUVs, houses, bank accounts, backyards and big Macs to name a few. Yet, when it comes to our bodies, is bigger better? While there are many women who claim they want a man who is handsome, makes a big 6 figure income, has a big chiseled body with a 6 pack and stands 6’2”, for some reason, those women never say they want him to be fat. Why is that?
On the other hand, women say a man should accept a woman as she is. If she is fat, he should not be shallow. He should love her for the person she is. If he comments on her weight, he is fat shaming. (As many of you read this, you may have a problem with me for addressing it.)
When a woman wants a 6’2” Adonis, she is thinking of several things. She wants a man who is sexually attractive. She is hoping a man at 6’2” has an adequate penis size. She wants a six-pack that appealing to the eyes. And she wants his physical strength to satisfy her sexual desires. At the same time, she is thinking about her offspring. If their father is this hunk, the children are likely to be physically healthy and will have a better chance in life when it comes to career and the choice of a spouse. With that said, why wouldn’t she want to offer the man a similar physically appealing body?
Have women come to believe that men are so much lesser than ladies that males should simply accept anything a woman offers? Do women believe men are dumb creatures who don’t know the difference between fat and slim? Or do they believe men should be happy with any vagina regardless of what it is attached to.
Many people love R&B of the 90s. It was filled with artists that swooned women with some of the most memorable lyrics. One such group was Dru Hill out of Baltimore, Maryland. The smooth harmonic voices of Dru Hill gave women the feeling that men would do anything for a lady. As for men, groups like Dru Hill inspired them to love, honor and obey the woman of their desire. How did groups like these change male and female expectations in intimate relationships?
To address the impact of this era, we will have a very special guest. You know him as Woody from Dru Hill. He will be available for an interview. He will talk about the group, the industry and his journey as a man in love relationships.
If you are a fan of 90s R&B, you absolutely will not want to miss this show. Join us on YouTube live stream or Blog Talk Radio.

The divorce rate is over 50%. Of those divorces, women initiate more than 70%. And less than 5% of alimony is the wife paying the husband. When you add the fact the courts automatically give the mother custody of children that she uses to manipulate the father, it seems men are justified for rethinking the incentive of matrimony. Since women claim they have degrees and great paying jobs, the institution of marriage may have come to the end of a road.
In addition, women have been condemned for being soft and feminine. They have been told those traits are a sign of weakness. And if a woman does not have a professional career, she is seen as a less valuable mother. The feminists believe stay at home moms without a degree and career cannot be a good example for her daughters. Yet, the feminine, soft and nurturing traits are what many men desire in a woman. Without them, it is more difficult for a man to bond with her. And sex becomes the only reason for them to come together. When you factor in the notion that women have lost interest in being full time mothers, there is no longer a reason for a man to make a woman his wife.
Furthermore, since the 1970s, women have been told they should not fall for the first guy they love. They were told to try their options and have sex with many different guys. For men, it means more women than ever are available for casual sex. At one time, sex outside of marriage was not as abundant as it is now. When you add 38% of marriages are sexless, the choice is clear.
At the same time, there are many traditional men who want to raise their children in a stable two family household. That may appear to be an ideal situation. However, in a divorce ridden environment, what is best for men?
In the age of MGTOW and Red Pill, relationships and families are still desired. Men have simply taken a step back to examine the risks and rewards. With over 70% of women initiating divorce, many men have opted out. In fact, marriage rates are the lowest they have been in US history. The government began recording marriage rates in 1865. Is it possible to get men to return to the institution of marriage?
For the most part, Hollywood has been too influential in creating rules for marriage. There are too many images that men and women follow that gives the false impression on how relationships function. The greatest falsehood is that love conquers all. The other is women are entitled to a man’s resources.
In reality, love has never created great relationships. Love is a derivative of people who create great relationships. Furthermore, love is not a feeling. It has more to do with the stand you take for the person in the face of anything. That requires a very different mindset than the one projected in Hollywood love scenes.
Today I would like to take a step back and strip away all of the niceties of what people believe great relationships are. Let’s look at tips, mindsets and strategies of some of the most successful people relationships. That would include those who had to get it right on the second or third marriage. Those with failed marriages can teach you about how their relationships failed before they began.
I invite you to bring your best relationship stories and share them with the listeners.

On Capitol Hill, the movers and shakers are the elite power brokers or grass roots organizations. They are the ones who give marching orders to the legislators. To this day, the Capitol Hill ecosystem consists mostly of men. At the same time, while men have built the Americas over the past several hundred years, they have become disposable. There does not appear to be representation for the average man even though he built the nation. When you look at family and divorce courts, you see men have become a utility. And women are the beneficiaries of their utility.
Yet, the US is called a democracy. That is supposed to be a government for the people. As men continue to build, maintain and protect the nation, the laws should be there to ensure their well-being. However, that does not appear to be happening. There are millions of men who will never find a job because there are not enough. Because of outsourcing, low wageworkers, technology and women filling the workplace, men do not provide much value beyond the military. In addition to military, men fill all jobs that are too dangerous for women.
In the past, men have built every civilization from top to bottom. While they did that, women played a support role. Today, women want to be in charge of building, maintaining and protecting civilization. Except, they don’t seem to want support from men. In fact, they have not thought about what to do with men aside from extortion in divorce and family courts. At the same time, women still demand men be providers and protectors. If you take most men out of the workplace, how will they provide? Can financially distraught men protect?
What is this new civilization where the builders have become the enemy and outcasts?
This is not a popular topic. However, it is the dead elephant in the room. In the 1970s, feminists assured women they could do anything a man can do. In fact, they told women that promiscuity was a way to show how powerful and lberated they were. They claimed that men can sleep with multiple women. Therefore, women can do the same.
If you fast-forward to 1997, you have the beginning of ‘girls gone wild’. This was a celebration of sexually promiscuous college girls who engaged in an ‘anything goes’ fest, especially during spring break. At the top of the list was promiscuity.
Yet, for some reason, after 23 years, you have not seen an episode of ‘whatever happened’ to the girls that went wild. Have they grown up to be high-powered executives in corporate America? Or are they the model mother and wife with 2 ½ children in the suburbs?
In the 21st Century, many studies have to done to point out what happens to promiscuous women. Perhaps the scientific community is wrong. Maybe the feminists were right with their belief that women really can be promiscuous.
In addition to science and feminists, there are men who choose women based on a mixture of traditional and modern day standards. Are promiscuous women at the top of the list for men of means? Let’s open the can of worms and fish for some answers.
Join us for a thought provoking and sensitive topic.
Tonight, Sunday, October 4, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
We always hear how dedicated women are. Yet, women file about 80% of divorces. If that is a sign of commitment, I have been clueless about commitment my entire life. To my understanding, marriage vows are for richer and poorer and sickness and health. I guess since the vows say nothing about sex and irreconcilable differences most divorces can be justified, at least in a woman’s mind.
For centuries, we have been taught that women give their all. They are committed to their families. However, if you strip all the layers off, you may find these have all been lies.
If you doubt me, engage a woman in an extremely intimate conversation about herself. Or have an intimate and adult conversation about sex. In those kinds of conversations, she has to reveal herself, unless she is a great actress – liar.
When you have those kinds of conversations, you find out how interested she is in you. You also find out how really brave she is. Many women have fears they never discuss with men. They claim they never reveal everything to a man to keep little mystery. Mystery can also be code word for deceit.
What are women really afraid of? If you are willing to share your body with a man, why not share all of your thoughts? Furthermore, how can a woman ever expect a man to commit to her if she is withholding the essence of the relationship – intimacy and vulnerability?
Let’s open the floodgates to see if women are brave enough to engage in real relationship conversations. Or will we find out that women are so afraid of being hurt that they hide themselves from a man. By hiding, in the end, the man walks and she gets the very thing she feared – abandonment.
This is a somewhat politically incorrect conversation. It is about interracial dating. It seems some people believe the color of one’s skin can determine whether or not they make a suitable mate. Is that valid?
In the 1970s, feminists told young girls they should “try their options”. By that, it meant women should have sex with as many men as possible before marriage. They said if men can do it women can. The harsh lesson women learned was high quality men do not marry promiscuous women. They date and have sex with them. That’s it.
The new slogan is “expand your options”. That means date people based on skin color. They call it ‘swirling’. Like “trying your options”, this latest fad does not appear to be producing satisfactory results. Many women are being pumped and dumped instead of becoming wives.
Perhaps the real problem has nothing to do with dating strategies. It may have everything to do with how prepared you are for the person you claim to want. If you have behaviors and a mindset that is not compatible for the person of your desire, it is time to do a complete mindset overhaul. If, instead, you try new dating strategies, it will most likely yield the same returns as the others – nothing.
Nevertheless, there are women like Crystal Swirlz, Cynthia G and many others who have become YouTube sensations. They are promoting interracial dating, expanding your options and many other ideals to help women who cannot find a compatible mate.
It would be great if men and women of all races could sit at the table for this discussion. Tonight we are going to address the real culprit of failed dating strategies.
Until August of 1962, Jamaica was a British colony. Before that, they were a pit stop for the British to punish and torture black people. That way they could force them into slavery. With that history, it would seem they have many parallels to blacks in the US. Yet, when you look closely, you see they have created a culture that is very distinct from black Americans.
To uncover this distinction, we are going to interview a gentleman who was born and raised in Jamaica. He currently lives in the US. His perspective on both countries is very rich and insightful.
From a brief conversation, it appears feminism has made a huge difference between the two countries. Somehow Jamaica was not overrun by feminism. How is that possible? At 710 miles from Florida, it is only a hop skip and jump from the US. It would seem feminists would have rushed Jamaica to spread their philosophies. How did the men keep them away?
Join us for a provocative discussion on cultural differences. What can be learned?

According to women, patriarchy is oppressive. Yet, in a patriarchal society, you have people like Marilyn Monroe, Billie Holiday, Lena Horne, Mae West, Beyonce, Oprah, Hillary Clinton and many other successful women. If a patriarchy is oppressive to women, how could so many ladies be successful?
Some may say oppression is because of patriarchy and capitalism. Except, global trade has existed for thousands of years. Europeans traded with Asia and even the Americas. Local and international trade is based on having something of value that another person wants.
Why would women be against this system? Even if a woman is a stay at home mother, she is rewarded with a lavish lifestyle if she chooses a great husband and knows how to support him to be successful.
If a woman chooses a man who has not trained himself to be valuable, she will be in a lower class. On the other hand, if she finds a man with high value and does not know how to support him, she could be a distraction that causes his value to be reduced.
Women believe this system is failing. Women believe they should be given a job even if she does not bring the same value as a man. That is called entitlement. Then they say they don’t need a man. However, the jobs they want are in companies created by men. For those women who don’t want to work, they can have children and receive minimal financial support from the government. The next level is to marry and divorce.
While many women use these strategies, they are not looking at what’s in the best interest of the nation. They divorce men and use the children as pawns for extortion.
Perhaps the only way patriarchy has failed is because they have given women rights of any kind.
All men have power. How they exert it will always be unique. While the source of their power may be obvious for some, it is not so for others. If it were obvious for everyone, men would be honored instead of disposable.
For millennia, men have built civilizations. Then they create a military to protect the citizens of the nation. Men exude their power through creativity of the arts and architecture, medicine and machinery, sports and seafaring and many, many other activities that are an expression of our masculinity.
However, for some reason, with all of the inventions that make life more convenient and safe, men still appear to be disposable. Instead of being valued for our power and ingenuity, we are valued for our resources. When we fail to provide adequate resources, we are deemed unlovable. Only women, children and animals are allowed to receive love even if they provide no tangible value.
While men have built all civilizations, the most obvious thing has been overlooked. Before you can build a great and safe civilization, you need a vision. Before you can have a vision, you must possess power. The vision is simply an expression of that power. At the same time, no one really discusses where all men get and learn about power. When all men clearly understand where they get their power, it will be easier to share it. When societies around the world understand that, men will have a greater appreciation for the way they interact with one another. If you doubt me, remove all men from history. Mankind would still be living in caves without fire, the wheel or any other invention that demonstrates masculine power.
Let’s discuss an age of man power. First, we need to understand where men get it.
Society may be headed for the biggest dilemma it has ever seen in human history. Or it is about to learn why the Greeks stripped all women of rights. Around the world, societies are headed towards the crossroads where men are turning their backs on women. While men love the softness of a woman’s voice, the shape of her body, the fullness of her breast, her beautiful smile and her feminine walk, many women have abandoned femininity for fear of appearing weak. Instead, they are demanding a seat at the table men have built over thousands of years.
In one breath, you may say women did not have the rights to be at the table in the past. However, if women were that unhappy, why didn’t they walk away from men and build their own society. That way they could have shown men how they are better and better off without men.
For millions of years, men and women have been interdependent. In the 20th Century, women claimed they no longer needed men. On top of that, they claimed they could do anything men can do, but better.
To accommodate women, men created laws that forced businesses to hire women. One of the outcomes is 51% of the workforce is now filled with women.
As a result of having mostly women in the workplace, productivity has fallen in the US. That has negatively affected salary increases.
As a society, we cannot continue this path. If most men are unemployed, society is less productive. Besides, who will take care of unemployed men? If workplace performance is down and women still want high salaries, it would seem we are on a dead end. Many MGTOW men would rather sit back and allow women to have the driver seat until society crashes and burns.
This is a complex subject. It starts and stops, twists and turns and starts all over again. Most believe the sexual revolution for women started in the late 1960s. However, if you go back to the ‘roaring 20s’, you find women who called themselves “flappers”. They were lose and fancy-free – sluts. Then, in 1929, the NY stock market crashed. By 1930, not only did the economy fall so did the dress lines and promiscuity of women.
When you think about it, the women of 1918 wore long conservative dresses. In the 20s, they wore short dresses with low cleavage. What caused such a quantum leap for women’s attitudes? It was the medical communities discovery that the clitoris was designed strictly for women’s pleasure during sex. So the ladies of the 1920s openly and aggressively expressed their newfound sexual liberation.
During the great depression, women became conservative once again. This lasted until the late 60s when women burned their bras, wore mini skirts and demanded equality. In fact, they said women could do whatever men could do. They even claimed women could be as promiscuous as men.
Fast-forward to the 21st Century and you see we have far exceeded the sexual liberation of the 1920s or 60s. In the picture above, you see the president of the NAACP in a strip club.
In 1909, the NAACP was founded. The original founders were W.E.B. DuBois, Ida B. Wells, Henry Moskowitz and others. It was a collaborative effort between the Jewish and black communities. It was an organization that uplifted and fought to be an interracial effort to advance justice for the black and Jewish communities. Does today's NAACP represent this organization?
The US has a past that is less than clean. It was built on war, genocide, theft, slavery and rape. Those five things can be a strategy to beat any group of people into submission. At the same time, the US is not the only place where that strategy was executed. Yet, it seems to have had the strongest impact on a group of people who have been classified as black or African American.
In recent interviews, Kanye West stated slavery was a choice or voluntary. He claimed no group of people could be forced to work for free over a 400-year period. In response, the black American community declared he was delusional and offensive.
Whether slavery was forced or voluntary, there came a time where colored or black people built thriving cities throughout the US. Tulsa, Oklahoma was one of many.
If black Americans could rebuild powerful cities without degrees from Harvard, Stanford or Wharton, why is there so much dysfunction in the 21st Century? It would seem slavery would have demoralized anyone. However, immediately after slavery they went in to building mode. Today there appears to be a self-destruct mode. Did most black Americans sell out? Did they quit on the idea of rebuilding thriving cities? Did they sell out for a job? Or did ambitions change from building to being accepted?
These are a few of the many questions that need to be addressed. There is a reality that no one wants to discuss for fear of looking like a coon. However, tonight will be a time for the coons to rise up and discuss the undiscussable. Join us and prepare to be shocked.
Tonight, Sunday, August 9, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.

When we think of power, the animal kingdom is filled with images. There are lions, thoroughbred horses and elephants. When it comes to athletes, you have Lawrence Taylor, Mike Tyson and Jim Brown. When it comes to market domination, you have names like John D. Rockefeller, Sr., Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan. Those men are still called titans and owned, controlled and shaped entire industries. Today you might think of Elon Musk, Bill Gates and the late Steve Jobs.
In the black community, you may think of people like Frederick Douglas, Malcolm X, Reginald Lewis and Earl Graves, Sr. Without question, these men were titans. They exerted their power and influence to fulfill their mission. More importantly, they did so in times racial difficulty. Like white titans, these men were pioneers. They paved a road for other black men follow.
However, while they passed on generational money, it does not appear they set up the same generational wealth, power and influence in a way their white counterparts did.
It also appears black men have not sought to own industries in the way Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates and Jobs have. Much of today’s black wealth is tied up in entertainment. An unpopular statement is that even religion has become entertainment.

While entertainment can shape culture and generate lots of money, it cannot exist without venues owned by non-black business people. Entertainers use Internet, stadiums, TV, radio, cable and Hollywood. Without owning the industry, you don’t control pricing and you don’t control which entertainers are most successful. Since entertainers shape your culture, it would be in the best interest of black Americans to dictate which celebrities become influential. If not, someone else determines what is positive or negative. When that happens, you have no power.
The reality is there are enough black Americans with money. For some reason, the strategy to own, control and shape industries is not. This is a testament that money is not power. Money is money.
The US has an ugly history. It is filled with war, genocide, rape, theft, slavery and deceit. While much of the world believes nations should be made whole after misdeeds, the US looks the other way. Because much of those misdeeds have been aimed at black people around the world and the conversation has not been thoroughly addressed by government or corporations, a culture of hopelessness and despair hangs over the heads of many in the black community.
Is it possible to rise up from ashes to be powerful?
When it comes to any traumatic event, it is better to address it. Sweeping it under the rug will eventually cause people to hold resentment.
The black community is now filled with hopelessness, despair and resentment. When you bring up the idea of power of any kind, it appears no one wants to have that discussion. In the US, it is power that makes the policies that govern you life. With out it, you are unlikely to be invited to the table.
Now there is a paradox. People demand they be invited to the decision making table. Yet, no one wants to devise strategies to acquire the power required to be seated at the table. How does that power look once acquired? How do you acquire it? Is it only a matter of having enough money? Or is there something that happens before the money is made? Or is it better to build your own table and demand legislators sit down and listen?
These and many more questions have to be asked and answered. In one of the most provocative shows, we are going to discuss the undiscussable. Power! Join us.
Because I have lived in several countries, some have referred to me as a globetrotter. When you spend time living in various nations, you face some adversity. It could be from language, culture, running out of money or a myriad of other unforeseen circumstances. At the same time, doing globetrotter things does not qualify me to play for the Harlem Globe Trotters. Wayne Clark, on the other hand, has also spent time living abroad. And he did it as one of the players on the Harlem Globe Trotters.
Without question, Wayne is a high performing athlete. He has played professional basketball on several teams throughout the world. And holds a world record as a Slam Dunk Champion. To this day, he continues to train as a competitive athlete. His latest list of accomplishments is to stand for men’s rights.
On tonight’s show, we are going to address adversity men face in life. For some, adversity can be the result of training and preparing for career success. For others, adversity can be a life reset. In a strange way, Wayne has tasted the bitter sweet of some of life’s most challenging times. Yet, somehow he always ended up on top.
How a man handles adversity says a lot about who he is. Albert Einstein’s quote says it all: “Adversity introduces a man to himself”.
Today, join me for an engaging and thought provoking discussion about how to handle yourself in the face of adversity, even a rough divorce. Call in to ask Wayne some of the toughest questions about life, career, sports, marriage and divorce. You won’t want to miss it.
One of the reasons it is difficult to change or transform mindset is because of our environment. Our environment consists of friends, family, school teachers, books, movies, news, TV shows and now the internet. In some cases, people mean well and want to help. In other cases, you could be surrounded by wolves in sheep’s clothing. Why does this matter? Your environment contains all the information you have acquired throughout your life. The most your environment can do is reinforce what you already know.
If you break from your environment, you face a social risk. If you challenge the reality of your environment, you risk social alienation. That could mean deprivation of all good memories associated with your environment. Most will not take that risk. In addition, your entire identity is clothed by your environment. Abandoning your environment could leave you feeling naked. From another perspective, the loss of identity could even feel like death.
While this may sound extreme, these are spoken and unspoken rules of our social construct. Escaping them may seem like it takes as much effort as climbing Mount Everest. Let’s dismantle the many myths surrounding change and provide solutions that free people from repeating unproductive cycles.
To increase the value of such an earth shattering discussion, I will have an extraordinary guest. He has such an eclectic background that he has seen life from many perspectives. Many of you know him as Seven Smalls. He is a licensed mental health practitioner who has worked with people of all ages. That experience has increased his commitment to the health and well being of people.
The divide and conquer strategy is an old one. In many ways, it is simply psychological warfare at its finest. To address it, you have to understand why it is happening. Then it may be easier to understand who is actually being divided and conquered? While it is an archaic strategy, it is still effective. Is there anything that can be done about it? Where do you start?
On this show, we are going to look at divide and conquer in the US and globally. Without taking the conspiracy theory approach, we are going to look at a number of historical facts, the results of the strategy and what can be done about it.
To add power to the conversation, I will have a very controversial guest. His name is Kris Cantu. Kris is well known around the world for his controversial perspectives on social issues, men’s rights and relationships. He has been so controversial that his YouTube and Instagram pages have been censored. Join him live so we can better understand why it is so difficult for us to come together.

In the US, women cackle about what it means to be a man. In addition, they believe all men should get in touch with their feminine side to prove they are real men. Unfortunately, many men have followed these instructions only to be put in the friend zone. Meanwhile, men who comfortably embrace their caveman masculinity have a line of women outside of their bedroom. Why are men listening to women for anything?
Over the past 45 years, women have made claims to be tough and independent. Yet, as the US experiences record divorce rates, women are extracting resources from men. If you were independent, why would you need money and material objects from a man you no longer want? As this is happening, men are being shamed for not wanting to make alimony or child support payments. Society has shamed men for wanting to stand up for themselves. When men do stand up, they are labeled as toxic masculinity. Who asked for a woman’s opinion when it comes to manhood? Why are men listening?
While all people are human beings, masculinity does not start when you become a legal adult. It starts the day you are born. Women, on the other hand, equate masculinity with a job or entrepreneurship. Now that many women have jobs, they believe they have the right to be respected as men. Is that how they want to be treated? Manhood comes with a consequence. You are disposable.
Join me for a politically incorrect discussion that society has been afraid to have for decades.

In October of 2018, Straight Talk with Ted Santos started as a podcast. Our topics primarily focused on relationships. Since then, I have been accused of bringing out the worst of men. I have been told, in the past, men kept their mouths shut. Now that I started the he-man woman hater’s club, men are speaking up. Why would anyone want men to be silenced?
For decades, women have shouted men are the enemy. Those same women even claimed they did not need a man. Most men listened in silence. Many men made adjustments to accommodate women. Other men warned women that the path they were marching on would not have a happy ending. As you can imagine, they ignored those men. As for the men who made adjustments, women came down on them harder. Women claimed they were punishing men for the wrong doing of men in the past
As we can see, one of the outcomes of this female frenzy is the single mother. Many fathers have been denied time with their children. Both the father and children suffer. It appears the feminist movement has become a priority over the well being of the children.
Now that a couple of generations of children have been emotionally traumatized by the absence of their father in the home, we are seeing murder rates increase. Is there a correlation? For the past decade, women claimed if they ruled the world, there would be peace. Yet, since they have ruled the household, violence in our nation has become lethal.
To correct society, it will not be women who will make it happen. It will be men who firmly put their foot down to stop the madness. Perhaps what has been missing in the home is the he-man. He-men bring discipline and boundaries.
For decades, we have heard the pundits pontificate about the importance of hiring women in the workforce. What no one addresses is whether or not society has benefited. When you ask the question, women only address the selfish gains to women. No one wants to address the social impact to society. In addition to social impact, what is the impact to corporations’ profits? When you understand the facts, you begin to see how profits also affect social structures.
To start, productivity in the workforce has dropped. That affects wage growth. At one time, there was a direct relationship between wage growth and productivity; they both increased. Since productivity has dropped since the late 60s, wages have stagnated as well. Because wages have stagnated, most households need two salaries.
When you look at the social impact of two parents working, you see education quality for children drop. With a drop in education quality, you see crime increase. With an increase in crime, you need more police officers. Where does that money come from? I have not touched the impact on divorce, which feeds into the vicious cycle.
While there are jobs women do better than men, it does not justify hiring women who feel entitled. Fulfilling the entitlement need creates a high cost to society. At some point, we all pay for it.
The jury is in and the statistics are clear. Let’s discuss the realities of filling the workforce with women.

As children, we attended elementary school. Our behavior was…well…child-like. What can you expect in elementary school? For some boys, however, they thought girls were rather immature. Those boys believed when they made it to high school girls would finally mature. Instead, as young men, they found the same behavior girls had in elementary school. Therefore, they assumed the magic of maturity would happen in college. As with many things, only a small percentage of women took the maturity path. The rest held tight to the same mindset they had in elementary school. How is this possible?
As men, we are told that certain things like having roommates at 20 years old is acceptable. Except, at 40, men are looked down on if they live with roommates. Yet, no one says anything to the 40-year-old woman who still lives with her mother. In many cases, she has a college degree and a decent job. In other cases, she has children.
When the subject of female maturity is addressed by men, we are told things like, “only a real man can handle an intelligent independent women like me.” or “I know my behavior is difficult sometimes. But I’m worth it.” Or “only a secure man who knows about women can deal with me.” The women who shout these irrational thoughts have an audience that applauds them. As men, we are told to be silent and “man up”.
Since no one wants to thoroughly address this subject, I am going to do it with a very special guest. His name is Mumia Obsidian Ali and he has become a YouTube superstar. He is going to share his insightful wisdom on a subject that is almost never addressed. He and I are going to peel down the layers of the sacred cow – female immaturity.
From a primal perspective, men are hunters. That means they eat what they kill, if they want a robust meal. Traditionally, if a woman wanted a robust meal, she would find a man who is a very good hunter. While she bears him children and takes care of home, he goes out for the next kill. In a capitalistic society, the hunt happens with gainful employment. Instead of bringing home the kill, a man brings home a paycheck. And the money is spent at the grocery and clothing stores. However, with the women’s movement, this is changing.
In the 21st Century, there are more women in the workforce than men. Corporations have mandated that women be hired instead of man. From a sociological perspective, this can tip the scale of who is a hunter. At the same time, has it changed the primal nature of what women expect from men.
On this show, I will have a very special guest. Brother Mo is a Red Pill leader and an advocate of mentoring male youths in Boston. As a mentor, professional photographer and videographer, he has witnessed cultural changes that tell a story about the three most important things that attract women to men.
Call in to the show and engage him for an enlightening discussion about what really makes women want a man.

It seems the year 2020 will be a year for the history books. We started with impeachment for the president of the US. Then Covid-19 overshadowed that. After several months of quarantine, the country found itself in the middle of a battle of the sexes in Central Park with racial overtones. Now cities are burning because a white police officer killed a black man. We have not even finished the first five months of the year. So what is there not to talk about?
Last week I had a very controversial show about whether or not single women should be allowed to vote. The discussion happened with men and women. It was enlightening and very engaging. The day after that discussion, Amy Cooper, who was the vice president at Franklin Templeton Investments, made a very emotional and deceitful decision. She made a distress call to 911 and claimed she was terrified of a black man in Central Park, NYC. Lucky the man in question, Christian Cooper, was wise enough to record the incident.
In the US, women scream they want equality. However, it seems, when things do not go their way, there is a “woman card” that can be cleverly played. While the Me Too movement has strangely remained quiet in 2020, Amy’s behavior will have more men question the intent of many women. Amy’s behavior has a tremendous amount of implications and consequences.
To get a better understanding of what’s happening in the US between men and women, we will have a special treat. I have invited Tanya Smith as a guest to join me for this conversation. She is retired from the army and an author of a book about women in the military. She has a very unique perspective on women in areas that are traditionally dominated by men – the US military.
In ancient Greece, women were property and never allowed the right to vote. Slaves, freed slaves and foreigners were also denied to right to vote. For men to vote, you had to be a contributing citizen of society. That means men had to complete military training. Once completed, they were expected to participate in government.
The US sociopolitical structure is much more loosely organized than ancient Greece. And that is the concern. Are people really voting for the best interest of the nation? Or are they only concerned about self-interest? If only married women were allowed to vote, would they be less likely to support government handouts, like welfare and affirmative action?
As a rule, women tend to be more emotional. When you are voting, it is best to vote for politicians who support referendums that are in the best interest of all. That means you don’t focus on gender or race. If policies are created that neglect one gender or race, it will eventually negatively affect the entire population. Simply look at today’s social dilemma. Currently, 51% of the workforce is made up of women. As a result of that decision, millions of men have been displaced and unemployed. Since women don’t like to marry unemployed men, there is less marriage and more single mother households. Single mother households are breeding grounds for future criminals, substance and alcohol abusers and child victims of suicide.
With that said, what appeared to be beneficial to women has been detrimental to society. What’s worse is women do not appear to be aware of this fact. Or they simply don’t care. At this point, it would seem that many women made decisions based on emotions.
If you look at the animal kingdom, it appears male and females come together easily. While humans are animals, they have added layers of complexity to dating and mating. Being a man or women is not enough. There are body types, hair and face attractions, scent, socioeconomic class and many other standards.
In the black community, it seems to be more difficult for men and women to retain healthy relationships. Women claim they only want a man who can provide financial resources and protection. While I’m not sure what they are being protected from, those are simple requirements. Oh yeah, they want the man to be 6’2”, well built, great education and job. The job has to be no less than six figures. If you meet that criterion, she will fall madly in love with you and live happily ever after, just like in the fairytales.
On the other hand, black men seem to want a traditional women who is well educated, has a great six figure job, has two wonderful children (with him), plays the role of a traditional wife, is a great and accommodating lover with a beautiful body. To keep that body, she needs to be in the gym everyday. In addition, she needs to be a virgin or close to it. If not, she is not wife material.
While all those qualities will get her noticed, there are other characteristics that are just as important. Some can include pleasant attitude, great at networking, high intelligence, resourceful with money and a host of other things. Some of those requirements are clearly articulated by the man.
At least this is what women say it is like dealing with quality black men. If she misses one thing, she could be disqualified. Women say they just want to be in a loving relationship where she is the prize and the man is a catch.
In the face of covid-19, social distancing has served as a blessing and a curse. It has served to slow the spread of the virus. And it has created a dilemma for the school system. It appears to be a little more difficult to keep children in a classroom at a reasonable distance from one another. If you have young children, you understand the consequences of having them at home 24/7 – indefinitely. Under normal conditions, when you are at work, the school system is the default babysitter. Now the schools are unable to do that. And the daycare centers are closed as well. In a litigious society, no one is will to risk children being infected.
What makes matters worse is the cry from the public. Many states are demanding we return to business as usual. That means opening the economy up so people can go to work, earn money and produce goods and services. On one hand, this sounds good if everyone is safe. On the other, what happens to single mothers who cannot leave their children at home alone?
In a covid-19 environment, it is unwise to leave your children with just anyone. It may even be unsafe to leave them with their grandparents. This may mean single mothers cannot return to work, even if their job demands it. This creates a risk of many single women losing their jobs to men, women with older children or no children. With so many single mothers, this could be a very disruptive paradigm shift.
How will this affect dating and relationships? Will women become more cooperative with men who have sufficient resources? Will women’s attitudes towards men change? Will more women become recipients of welfare? Does that take the US down the path of socialism?
On April 30, 2020, the Wall Street Journal printed an article called, Marriage Rate Plunges to Lowest Level on Record. In 1867, the US government began keeping records of married couples. In 2019, there are less couples getting married than in 1867. And the writing has been on the wall for some time. There has been a steady decline for years.
Furthermore, there have been articles written about men saying why they have lost interest in marriage. Yet, the Wall Street Journal claims they don’t understand why marriage rates are plunging. As a side, marriage rates around the world are dropping.
While there is a growing trend of cohabitation, this does not account for the amount of men who refuse to consider marriage. Many millennials have grown up watching their parents go through ugly divorces. Imagine. Over 50% of married couples ended up in divorce court. No one has considered the impact that has on children. We also take for granted what children learn when they witness parents in the middle of divorce. Needless to say, most men experience financial ruin after divorce. Is society now seeing the aftermath?
Since the Wall Street Journal does not understand why marriage rates plunged, let’s openly discuss this dilemma. Many women believe it is good for them. However, most may not have considered the long term consequences for them and society.
Join us tonight!
Tonight, Sunday, May 3, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
In the late 60s, women burned their bras and demanded equality in pay, job opportunities and the right to make their own choices. By the mid 70s, they were shouting “I don’t need a man”, “I can do anything a man can do but better” and “men are the enemy”. That mindset ushered in a battle of the sexes.
By the 80s, women were wearing power suits in corporate America. They also claimed they had a masculine side and they wanted the right to express it. In fact, feminists declared being feminine was weak. Furthermore, stay at home mothers were seen as having less to offer their children than a career women. At the same time, feminists told men to have a feminine side. Many men acquiesced and began to express a more sensitive and emotional side.
In spite of being told they were weak for being feminine, there are women who have continued to cherish their femininity. Some take pride in being stay at home mothers. They take care of the health and well being of the entire family as a full time job. Then there are others who have great education and careers. Yet, taking care of the family is still a priority. And there are many other variations. The one thing these women have in common is they love being feminine. You see it in their choice of clothes. You hear it in the sound of their voices and the way they walk. And their husbands and children reap the benefits of their gentle womanly touch.
Even though these women exist, some keep a low profile. Men and women call them girly, soft or weak. Except they hold the course. On the other hand, there are many men who desire these women. However, believe they are extinct or simply the mythical unicorn.
If you have a GPA of 3.2 or higher, you are held in high esteem, unless you are in the black American community. There you will be ridiculed. In some cases, you will be physically abused. In 1960, Harvard University made a policy change that negatively affected this part of black American culture. And it has created a super upper class in all races. That super upper class is growing and creating a devastatingly huge gap between the black community and blue collar whites. After Harvard made one change, many of the other prestigious universities followed. What policy could be so devastating socially?
While Harvard was making changes, desegregation of public schools had been happening for three years. As schools experienced desegregation, a new lower class of black communities began to emerge.
In 2020, the new category of lower class people may have nothing to do with race. It will have more to do with intelligence and access to resources.
Let’s talk about how we arrived in a society with an increasing gap between rich and poor. Let’s talk about the culture that has been created for both classes. And what can be done about it.

With the advent of the corona virus, we will see many benefits. Pollution is dropping because there are fewer cars on the road. At the same time, crime rates have dropped. While domestic violence will increase, robberies and murder have decreased. Is this virus presenting a silver lining, even though it is taking lives?
Black Americans make up about 15% of the US population. Yet, they commit 37% of violent crimes and 52% of murders. In all likelihood, we will see those numbers drop during the corona quarantine. Is the quarantine a testament of what has to happen to decrease crime rates?
Draconian laws were allegedly written around 621 BC by Athenian aristocrats. It is a code that imposes severe punishment for small offenses. Examples of some of the cruel punishments were slavery for debtors or death for theft.
With disproportionately high crime rates in the black community, would draconian laws have the same effect as the corona quarantine? On the surface, the answer may appear to be yes. However, after the quarantine ends, people who commit crimes will still be in the same economic condition. Furthermore, 70% of children in state run juvenile detention centers come from single mother homes. Those household dynamics will not change when the quarantine is lifted. The dynamics of single mother homes that contribute to juvenile delinquency will still be in existence. Therefore, since single mother homes contribute to crime rates, should draconian laws make single motherhood a crime against humanity?
Let’s discuss the pros and cons of draconian laws as well as other solutions.

At some point, most people would like to share their life with one person. They form a relationship where they share their dreams, fears and challenges. Through their relationship, they become better human beings – smarter, more patient, committed, loving and affectionate. It is an example of how two heads are better than one.
Yet, with a divorce rate over 50%, it says relationships are not always cracked up to be what people hoped. The battle of the sexes has put men and women at odds. The idea of a partnership in life has been sacrificed. For what? Have women made a career more important than love and family? Or are men completely ignoring the needs of women?
On this show, we are going to understand the perspectives of others. We will have a number of guests who will look at love and relationships from the woman’s perspective. Not only will we explore it from a woman’s perspective, we will broaden the perspective globally. We are going to look from the eyes of multiple ethnic groups and age ranges. As always, there will be men involved. And we are going to discuss whether or not modern day women are destroying their own happiness.

When you hear the sound “mayday, mayday” on a ship, it is a distress call. During this quarantine, “mayday” will be the sound of many people in relationships. Too often, people have come together for the wrong reasons. During this time of pandemonium, couples will learn whether or not they actually like one another. There is nothing like a good quarantine to make you face the fact you are in a relationship with someone you don’t like or respect. Without an escape, like work, you are forced to deal with that person 24/7.
While there will be many pregnancies in nine months, there will be many divorces. If your marriage was weak, it will crumble under the pressure of being forced in to close quarters with one another, especially if you lack communication skills needed for high pressure situations.
The saving grace is technology. With video chats, people can engage friends and family around the world in real time. It allows people to foster their bonds during these trying times. It also allows people to receive support from friends, family and mental healthcare professionals who know how to help people bridge communication gaps.
At the same time, not everyone handles stress with ease. If you have young children and a spouse, you may be facing pressure unlike anything you have ever seen in your life. You are a parent, teacher, chef, babysitter, spouse, psychologist and doctor. In the middle of that, you are terrified that you or someone in your home can catch the deadly virus. Since this situation is indefinite, if could appear to be an eternity.
Let’s use this time as an outlet to support one another. What are you going through?
We are in the middle of making history. The corona virus has completely changed our way of life. To start, it is taking lives. Those who survive it are impacted emotionally. In the US, many people are forced to not work, unemployed. Or they are working from home. And that creates a dynamic for those who are married and/or have children. (That is an emotional story of it’s own.) In addition, it has affected how we socialize. We have something called social distancing. With smart phones, it seemed we had already created social distance. While being isolated at home, we are experiencing social distance in ways that have never existed.
One glimmer of light is you have not heard much about black Americans or Hispanics having the virus. Is there a reason for that? Are they immune to it? While a small amount from those communities have caught the virus, the numbers have been insignificant. If the reasons they don’t have it are eliminated, what will happen to those communities?
In other words, on the surface, it may appear the black and Hispanic communities are behind a wall of safety. If the wall is breached, will they have the resources, in urban areas, to keep them healthy? This will be the focal point of tonight’s discussion. Are there preventive measures that can be taken in those communities? If so, we are going to discuss them with the support of healthcare professionals.
While washing your hands and wearing masks serve their purpose, your environment also plays a critical role. The most important environment you have is the health of your body. Is your body healthy enough to fight off the virus? Tonight we will address preventive measures you can take regardless of your race, age or socioeconomic class.
The corona virus, overdue stock market correction and election season creates a perfect storm of volatility in the market place. Perhaps more than anything these three aspects create a huge sense of uncertainty.
During times of uncertainty, it becomes ever so important to have a sound fiscal plan. It is very easy for emotions to run rampant during a time like this and for opinions to flood the market place. Everyone has an opinion and a sound bite to contribute.
Unfortunately, many of the opinions and sound bites can be useless to most individuals. Financial planning is as much a personal customized experience as getting a tailor made custom suit. A suit made for me will not fit anyone else but me. Point being, this market may be a buying opportunity for some, but that totally depends on where they are in the money cycle of accumulation, protection and distribution. So NO, this is not a signal for everyone to buy. It’s a signal for every person who cares anything about their financial well being to invest in a financial plan that takes into consideration their age, risk tolerance, goals, needs and specific current financial situation.
For this show, we will address the uncertainty and customization of making financial plans for today’s environment. To do that, we will bring back a Straight Talk favorite. Perry Jefferies will return to discuss the opportunities that are often hidden in times of chaos and uncertainty. From this show, you will discover why he is more than a wealth building and financial planning strategist. So call in to discuss some of the greatest concerns and opportunities the corona virus, declining stock market and an election year can bring.
You won’t want to miss this one.
There was a time when femininity was treasured. It had its place in society and intimate relationships. For the past several decades, women have been shamed for being feminine. They are told femininity is weak and powerless. As a result, many women attempt to project masculinity. Are there consequences for this?
Without question, the biology of a male and female are different. Males, of any age, have a biochemistry that makes them more aggressive and competitive. Females have a biology that makes them want to bond and be nurturing. When females are ridiculed for doing what comes natural to them, they may begin to suppress their natural urges to bond and nurture.
That is analogous to suppressing the natural functions of an automobile. If you suppress the flow of oil in your car’s engine, the engine will lock up and/or melt down.
In the 21st Century, we are watching an increased number of women with high blood pressure, heart attacks, alcohol and substance and physical abuse. What’s interesting is the fastest growing segment of heroin users is women who earn high income. Those women are well educated. Why are they using heroin? In addition, record numbers of women are obese. That in itself leads to diseases.
With that said, are mothers killing their daughters when they attempt to make them think and function like males. Since the end result is dysfunction and/or death, should it been seen as child abuse? Is it a crime against humanity to force someone to be something they are not? Is that crime affecting society as a whole? What are the long term consequences if society stays on this path?
I urge you to join this discussion.
At one time, families married their children to form alliances. That promoted generational wealth and power. Because of that, the union of the two children was more important than the idea of marriage. In subsequent generations, men spent significant time getting to know a woman of his desire. Both wanted to ensure compatibility before committing to a union. For the past 150 years, those old traditions have gone out of window in favor of materialism and excitement, hence the reason for many failed relationships and high divorce rates.
In 1819, John Keats wrote a book called, La Belle Dame sans Merci. It was one of the first love novels. By the 1850s, it became an extremely popular book and began to shape culture in the US. It made women seek romance instead of a compatible mate. It was the beginning of the illusion for women being wined and dined or read sweet poetry to make her feel good about herself.
While men spend their resources of time and money to entertain a woman, the woman believes her presence is enough to satisfy the man. This lopsided equation has men wondering if their money is being wisely invested during the dating process. In addition, women expect to be lavished with gifts once in a relationship. What has become more interesting is more and more women demand that a man pay some or all of her bills.
Men are beginning to ask if it is worth it. If a man’s reward is sex, how is that a fair exchange? Sex is mutually beneficial.
To shine a bright light on this conversation, we will have a very special guest. He has become a superstar in the world of social media. His name is Ramil Amyr. His views and ideals on relationship and a life of success will open your eyes to an entirely new world.
Everyone is accustomed to me putting others in the hot seat. Tonight it will be my turn. Instead of me having a guest, I will be a guest on my own show. I will be interviewed by someone you all know. He is someone known for putting people in the hot seat as well. His name is Chris Walker.
In this interview, you will find out who Ted Santos really is. And Chris will not spare me. He will choose questions from a list he has made and I have not seen the questions. So I may constantly be on the spot.
In addition to Chris interviewing me, I invite you to call in and ask me whatever you would like to know about me, the show or my professional life.
Tonight, Sunday, February 23, from 7:00pm-9:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.

When a man says “hello”, it could be “goodbye”. Why? In many cases, women believe it is their job to turn a man down. At the very least, she believes he should try harder for her affection. In other cases, men have no game plan when a woman expresses mutual interest. He does not know what to say next. When either case happens, both walk away empty handed.
In the face of men’s movements like MGTOW (men go their own way), SYSBM (save yourself black men) INCEL (involuntarily celibate) and IBMOR (introspective black men of reform), many women are experiencing a draught. Men who subscribe to these movements have lost interest in the mindset of the modern day woman in the US. In some cases, men have completely walked away from women. In other cases, they pursue women for sexual purposes only. They have no desire for a relationship. At the same time, there are men who still have a desire to build a loving and successful relationship with a woman. They simply have taken their chips to women in other countries.
In reality, it seems that most people would enjoy having someone to share their life with. For those interested in the long term, they want to create a family and build generational wealth with the object of their desire. Except, if people cannot get beyond “hello”, there is not much of a future for relationships.
On tonight’s show, I am going to bring in an expert from the world of “match making”. Her name is LeTisha Underwood from Two Hearts Exclusive Matchmaking. She has matched numerous men and women together to have successful relationships. She understands the need for a man to approach a woman first. At the same time, she is clear women have to be receptive to men.
The world has become a global community. Without a base community in your country, it is difficult to compete on a global scale. You need a unified team to compete. Has it always been this way?
From 1944-1964, the black community experienced its greatest economic growth and prosperity. By 1968, there were more black owned businesses per capita than any time after that. Those businesses were on path to economic power and the community had strong unity. Then it stopped. What happened?
While there is merit to how desegregation, welfare and heroin damaged the black community in the 1960s. During that time, choices were made and men had a hand in it. They allowed themselves to be put out of the house so their woman could collect welfare. Some of those men chose drugs and/or alcohol. From there, the community started a downward spiral.
In the 1970s, affirmative action enticed women in the same way government welfare did. That too was a choice taken by men and women. When they took a job in corporate America, they abandoned the generational wealth that was being created through black owned businesses.
Abandoning the strategy of creating black owned businesses in favor of a so-called prestigious job in IBM, for example, had other economic effects. Like desegregation, it took the black dollar out of the black community and into the communities of other ethnic groups.
While there are more college degrees and high-income jobs amongst black Americans today, it does little to nothing to create generational wealth. You cannot pass your job on to the next generation to perpetuate wealth.
On the surface, people look different according to race – skin color, hair texture and features. Each race becomes a tribe. Those tribes are broken into subclasses based on socioeconomics, education, country, language, religion, etc. However, many believe there is only one race. Yet, skin color and hair texture seems to say otherwise.
In the face of Kobe Bryant’s death, the idea of what race you marry appears to matter greatly. It appears that since Kobe belongs to the tribe of people with naturally brown skin, he was expected to marry from the brown skinned tribe. He did not. He married a Mexican. Many of the women from the brown skinned tribe are expressing anger with Kobe. There have been a number of videos expressing disdain for him by brown skinned women.
Marrying someone from the same race could create an enormous amount of comfort for the couple. There may be some traditions they share in common. And society approves of the union. That can, in fact, create unspoken expectations for one another. If both are from Nigeria, for example, they may expect one another to know the dos and don’ts that are practiced in Nigeria. At the same time, if one is from Saudi Arabia and the other from Mexico, it may be unfair to expect the other to know the traditions of one another’s respective countries. That can have pluses and minuses.
Aside from learning about another culture, there are benefits that result from two people with an open mindset. In some ways they are forced to be more understanding. At some point, they come to the realization that they cannot expect the other to know everything about their culture.
Over the past 10 years, there has been a significant drop in marriage rates. On one hand, women complain there is a smaller pool of eligible single men. On the other, men have stated there is a smaller pool of desirable women. What does it all mean?
As more women enter the workforce, they obtain higher paying jobs. In the past, those jobs would have gone to men. Now that women fill those positions, men are displaced. Since there are a finite number of jobs in the US, men take lower paying jobs or remain unemployed. Currently, there are about 7 million men who may never find a job. Part of this is due to displacement by women. The other displacements occur because of technology and outsourcing.
At the same time, women are shouting they have their own money and no longer need a man. Many women have elected to raise their children without the presence of the father. As a result, there are women who claim they can play the role of mother and father. When it comes to dating, they remain in the mindset of being a man and women. For men, this is an undesirable situation. Men yearn for the affection of a feminine woman. However, when the woman believes she is as much a man as the guy she is dating, the man is deprived of the femininity he was seeking. In that situation, the woman is competing for something she has no idea how to be – a man.
This is the 21st Century woman. And women demand that men accept it. While all of this new age feminism is happening, women still expect men to play traditional roles. When dating, he is expected to pay for everything. For men, this is not a good deal.
This provocative topic will allow me to introduce an important idea that is completely overlooked in relationships. At the same time, it is an opportunity to look at the so-called problem of infidelity from a fresh perspective.
In most cases, the question focuses on why men cheat. The view is almost never holistic. In reaction to men’s infidelity, women have decided it is appropriate for them to cheat as well. In fact, there are women who believe all men cheat. As a result, they are able to justify their infidelity, even if they have no proof they are in a relationship with a cheater.
As more women cheat, they fail to realize they may have never given a man a reason to be faithful to her. A relationship is analogous to your job. If you go to work and fulfill your duties, you expect to receive a paycheck. If they provide you with periodic bonuses, you may feel appreciated. Those bonuses may incentivize you to do more than what is expected. On the other hand, if the company underpays you or withholds your check, you may lose any sense of loyalty to your boss and the enterprise. That is when you begin to seek career fulfillment elsewhere.
Before you ladies start screaming about what men do or don’t do, look in the mirror first. The fact of the matter is, when you are a girlfriend of wife, you have been hired to provide a service. If you received quarterly or annual reviews by your lover, would you be able to keep your job as a wife or girlfriend? When he points out areas where you can improve relationship performance, how do you respond? Are you a professional girlfriend or wife? These and many more questions need to be answered.
For those of you who believe I made the word up, I did not. Hybristophilia is a paraphilia in which sexual arousal, facilitation, and attainment of orgasm are responsive to and contingent upon being with a partner known to have committed an outrage, cheating, lying, known infidelities, or crime—such as rape, murder, or armed robbery. In other words, it is a person who is turned on by an individual who engages in socially inappropriate behavior or criminal activity. In fact, when she knows she is with such a man, it is easier for her to reach an orgasm.
Al Capone, Scar Face, John Gotti, Frank Lucas and even fictional characters like Nino Brown, played by Wesley Snipes in New Jack City, are the preference for women suffering from hybristophilia. In addition to famous gangsters, serial killers like Ted Bundy, Charles Manson and Jeffery Dahmer received letters from women expressing sexual interest. In most cases, women who suffer from hybristophilia are bored with the corporate lawyer, entrepreneur or successful executive. They claim there is no chemistry and avoid those men .
At the same time, it appears many of these women seek notoriety themselves by pursuing famous criminals. Many psychologists attribute it to narcissism. The other interesting fact is from Sheila Isenberg who wrote the book, Women Who Love Men Who Kill. She interviewed several dozen women. All had been abused in the past. For them, loving a man in prison does two things. She always knows where he is. And she is safe. He cannot abuse her while he is locked up.
From a societal perspective, these women are comfortable being impregnated by the criminal. When these men are murdered or imprisoned, she is left to raise the children as a single mother.
This is the most important conversation you will ever have about relationships. Many say communication is the most important part of a relationship. What they fail to realize is listening is the most important part of communication. What makes this discussion so important is not how you listen. It is what you are listening to when you are listening to another. What you are listening to is what determines the difference between a great or lousy relationship.
What do I mean? Everyone is taught to judge and assess people and situations. Your judgments and assessments are the things you inherited from your environment. They are beliefs that cause you to predetermine what a person is like. Your environment not only includes your family. It includes school, movies, books, news, friends, etc. Your environment provides you with the facts of life, even if what was provided was inaccurate. If you repeat a lie enough times, it becomes a fact for the believer. In the US, there are many beliefs that have been passed down for generations.
As examples, for decades, people have said that women can tell a man any secret. You will never have to worry about him telling anyone because he was never listening. There are so many jokes about how women listen to men. There are also sayings that claim men are responsible for a woman’s happiness – happy wife, happy life. Then there are the jokes about women always being right. While these may be said in jest, they have become building blocks in relationships. It also includes things like women are more intelligent and mature than men. One of the most famous beliefs passed down is men only want one thing.
Over the decades, these have become part of the culture in the US.
People reminisce about the good old days. When it comes to relationships, many women believe men were men, back in the day. They were manly and rugged. At the same time, men believe women were more loving, affectionate and lady-like.
Yet, women have demanded men adjust to the 21st Century woman. That means she is tough, independent, has her own money and job. And she makes it clear that she does not need a man for a happy and successful life. Furthermore, because she is self sufficient, she does not have to play the role of the 1950s woman. In fact, today’s woman looks down on the women of the 50s. Those were the days of subservient women who catered to a man’s every need.
At the same time, this independent woman wants the war hero who returned from WWII and the Korean War. Those were the men who took a stand for what was good, put their lives on the line and defeated evil. When they returned home, they put the same care into their family. As a result, a woman felt assured she and her family would be safe. On top of that, she did not have to work. She and her friends had the luxury of being stay at home mothers as their men went into the workforce to bring home the bacon.
That feeling of safety allowed her to be a loving and affectionate wife and mother. While being a mother has demands, her job could be done from the comfort of home. If she was ambitious, she attended social events with other women. Together they would network and provide behind the scene support for their hard working husbands. They would make connections for their husbands to acquire new clients, investors or new jobs by befriending women who were married to other successful men.
Divorce is a $50 billion industry. As the industry generates billions, what price are we paying on the backend?
On the surface, divorce seems like a perfectly logical solution. It allows two people to legally sever ties if they don’t get along. That solution has resulted in over 50% of marriages ending in divorce. However, second marriages have a 67% divorce rate and 74% of third marriages end in divorce.
As you can see, it is not that two people have a problem making the union work. It’s that most people have no idea how to make it work, regardless of who they marry.
As a society, are we approaching marriage correctly? While you have to obtain a marriage license, unlike a driver’s license, there is no test or preparation. We allow two people who may or may not be qualified to intimately share their lives with one another. More importantly, that couple may bring another life into the world. Their union will serve as an example for the new life. When the marriage fails, the child is deeply affected – forever.
While both parents may still love that child, the emotional trauma has irreversible effects. That is when the problem becomes society’s. For example, of the last 27 mass shootings, 26 came from single parent households. In addition, suicide amongst children has increased exponentially over the past decade.
The loss of life is the worse that could happen to any family or country. At the same time, there are other incidental and consequential damages incurred by society, which directly result from divorce. Those damages only exacerbate the stress and dysfunction we are experiencing in the US.
People claim the media does not influence them. Yet, celebrities initially present the latest hairstyles, clothes, body images and slogans. Then it is later adopted as a fad by society. This has been happening for decades.
When you look at women like Lena Horne, Katherine Hepburn and Ava Gardner, it affected how women dressed at that time as well as their femininity. These women promoted a healthy lifestyle, like marriage, children, career and physical health. Even if they were sassy or sexy, it was not designed to be crass or demean another.
When you fast-forward to Madonna, Nicki Minaj and Lizzo, the media is now projecting a very different image of women. Unlike their peers of the past, these women promote promiscuity, single motherhood and fake body parts. Does this affect the way women see themselves?
For men you had Joe Louis, Clark Gable and Jimmy Dean. Those men were smooth, courageous and masculine. Like the ladies of their time, they exuded class. While there are many male images today, people like Lil Wayne, Eminem and Jay-Z are prominent. Part of what these men tell you is that it is perfectly normal to be crude or take on a life of crime. Is this the message we want to send to young men?
Some men will emulate the male celebrities. Most men do not aspire to be Lil Wayne or Jay-Z. Furthermore, women like Lizzo are found to be repulsive to most men. Some of the other women, like Nicki Minaj, present themselves as good for sex, but nothing more. At the same time, too many women find Jay-Z and other thugs or reformed thugs to be an ideal man. Women have gone as far as saying “I want some thug love.”
Over the past few years, the media has been filled with messages about toxic masculinity. It almost appears that being a man is toxic. We're condemned for being masculine. It makes me wonder if women are upset that they're incapable of mastering masculinity, no matter how hard they try. Therefore, they shame men for effortlessly being masculine. That’s like condemning a tall person for being tall.
Women feign emotional injury and use everything at their disposal to penalize men. Men are being severely punished in family courts. Women use the court system to keep fathers out of the lives of their children. In the workplace, there's a clear effort to hire women instead of men, even if the man is more qualified.
We're also seeing an increase of physical and emotional abuse from women towards men. The Harvard Medical School found that 70% of domestic violence is started by women. There's also an increase of women raping or molesting young boys.
However, when you look deeper, you see children are suffering most from the toxicity women are imposing on society. Suicide rates amongst children have increased exponentially in the single mother household. Furthermore, of the 27 mass shooters, 26 came from single mother households.
While all of this bad behavior is happening, women are claiming it’s toxic masculinity driving them to act this way. Perhaps the reality is women’s attempt to be more masculine has backfired. Being a man has less to do with activity and more to do with the biology of a man. We're not equal. And women attempting to do everything men do isn't in the best interest of society.
Recently a 20 year old woman recorded her boyfriend telling her he was going to shoot her. Minutes after making that recording he shot her. How could a boy raised by a mother commit such a heinous crime against a woman?
This is the conversation society has been sweeping under the rug for eons. Psychologists say a child’s personality is developed by age two. By age 10, most of a child’s philosophies and behaviors will remain the same throughout adulthood. During the first 10 years of a child’s life, he spends more time with his mother. Therefore, he has a greater influence from mother than father.
If this is the case, why are some boys excessively violent? Some say it is because their father is violent towards the mother. Is that true? According to the Harvard Medical School, women start 70% of domestic violence. In addition, many children are raised in single mother households. Of the 27 mass shootings committed by boys or men, 26 came from single mother households.
At some point, we have to start asking: what is happening between a boy and his mother, such that, he believes raping, abusing or killing a woman is acceptable? It would seem that all mothers are teaching their sons to love and respect women. Because men are becoming more violent in society, we have to ask how the mother is influencing her son.
Some women believe they have to use excessive force with their sons to discipline them. Furthermore, some single women resent the father of their son because the relationship did not work out. That resentment can be taken out on the son. In other cases, women have a string of bad relationships with men. Her dissatisfaction and anger with men can be directed towards her son because he is a man as well.
Evelyn Lozada claims she is ready to settle down with the right guy. She has given up premarital sex and is saving herself for the right man. Except, she is now 43 and has had more than her share of men. Is it too late?
Science says women reach their peak of physical appeal at age 32. Some say it happens at 22. Nevertheless, after 35, some women can have complications during pregnancy. That makes them less suitable for men seeking to raise a family. Men, on the other hand, have time on their side. They will hit their peak around age 45. In addition, after 35, men become more established in their career, which brings financial stability.
Since women seek financial and emotional stability in men to raise a family, men are great candidates for women up to 45. Since men seek a vibrant healthy body in a woman to raise a family, women tap out around 35. At least this is the case when you want the pick of the litter. It’s much more difficult for older women to compete with ladies under age 32, unless she offers something extraordinary. A 40-year on man, however, can compete with men under 32.
With that said, what can a woman over 35 offer to a man that has him choose her over women under 30? Some will say experience. By 35, many women may have had a string of bad relationships. That means she has baggage. Men don’t like carrying a woman’s baggage. What’s in it for him? In fact, research says the wrong mate can shorten your life expectancy.
Women over 45 say they have a more mature conversation. What do older women offer in a conversation that a 28 year old can’t?
When it comes to wealth in a capitalistic society, there are rules of engagement. In a way, it is no different than sports. When it comes to sports, you must know the rules, train for them, have a strategy and execute like a professional. When you don’t know the rules of engagement and train, you struggle. In some cases, you may squander wealth by allowing it to slip through your fingers. This is the fate of most large lottery winners.
Like sports, wealth is intentional and strategic, especially when it’s generational. You must be able to develop strategies and carry them out. Even if you look at families like the Rockefellers, you will see intentional strategies to increase wealth for today and the future. While it is true the Rockefellers have inherited their wealth, their affluence had a beginning. It started with one man – John D Rockefeller, Sr. What he instilled in his offspring was a mindset to strategically grow that wealth. And they have been extraordinarily successful.
Whether you are Warren Buffet, the Rockefellers, or Jeff Bezos, there are ways to put money to work for you and future generations. This Sunday we are going to have a very focused discussion about wealth building strategies. To discuss wealth building we will have a very special guest. Straight Talk welcomes back Perry Jefferies. On a previous show, he discussed “financial fitness”. On this show, he will talk about what to do once you are financially fit.
Perry is going talk about specific strategies and mindset needed to build wealth, from where you are. So you won’t need the winning lottery ticket. You become the lottery ticket.
Without getting into who funds BLM, George Soros and the Ford Foundation, what has BLM done for the black community? It seems they are Johnny on the spot when a black man is beaten or killed by non-black police officers. Yet, they are nowhere to be found when a black man is killed through gang violence. The paradox is they get great exposure when a black male is abused by law enforcement. However, they are against cisgender and promote the disruption of the nuclear family. Their primary focus is to support transgenders and single mother households.
For clarity, a cisgender is someone whose sense of identity corresponds with their birth sex. If you were born male, you identify as a man. Therefore, if you are a black male, in the eyes of BLM, you are already privileged. Therefore, they do not care about you until they need publicity.
When you say black lives matter, the assumption is being black is sufficient to matter to BLM. Except, it appears “what they believe” the only lives that matter are the lives of women and transgenders.
In addition, when you search for BLM’s accomplishments, there are none. There are no tangible policy changes or job creation. They have had meetings with politicians and no clear measurable goals to be implemented after the meeting.
It appears BLM is an ornament on a shelf to make people feel good. If anything, they are promoting that they don’t need men. And their claim to fame is stopping traffic to protest against abuse of the very people they do not care about – men.
People with fixed minds are smart. They have learned much and rely greatly on their abilities and what they already know. That mindset allows them to navigate the world while using the knowledge they have already acquired. The growth mind also learns much. Except, they are more open to venturing into unknown territory. That unknown territory can have pitfalls and failures. That is where they learn new and intriguing knowledge. The fixed mindset, on the other hand, stays away from pitfalls and failures.
In relationships, this matters greatly. The fixed mind will pride themselves on being knowledgeable. The problem comes when new information is introduced to them. In relationships, this can start arguments. The fixed mind is personified by someone who is set in their ways. This is not predicated on age. They have found the fixed mind in elementary school students.
Two fixed minded people could get along well if they are fixed on the same things. In the same way, two growth minded people can get along. They are likely to constantly explore new adventures together.
However, when the growth and fixed mindsets are in a relationship, the fixed mind will often be in a battle to be right. Since they rarely see value in failure, they do everything in their power to avoid it, including being wrong. For the fixed mindset person, looking good is more rewarding than unknown adventures. This disproportionate relationship with failure can create constant conflict between the growth and fixed mindsets.
For their relationship to survive, they would both have to learn more effective ways to communicate and negotiate. If done well, they could complement one another. They could have the perfect balance of security and adventure.
At one point, being a stripper was an embarrassment to your family. Some women did it in secret as a way to work their way through college or earn extra money. In today’s environment, women applaud one another for being a stripper. As a result, many educated women consider it as a serious path to make a living. How does a profession go from being an embarrassment to being a badge of honor? Are there consequences?
The irony is many women complain that men objectify them. Yet, more and more women find themselves presenting themselves as sexual objects – strippers. Sometimes a stripper is a carrot on a string. Men watch her dance. Or they receive a lap dance from her. In some cases, they pay just to have an exclusive conversation with her. For many strippers, if the price is right, she will give the man what he desires most, sex.
However, the reason men go to strip clubs may not be to have sex. There are men who frequent them as an escape from their day-to-day monotony. At the same time, outside the club, men are condemned for viewing women as objects. In the club, those social constraints are lifted and men see women as sexually desirable.
While there are many men who see strippers as entertainment, even in a relationship, there are men who believe they make good wives. They believe she understands how to hustle. They may also believe she will be sexy and a good lover. Is that enough to make a marriage work? Strippers experience a number of insecurities about themselves. Those insecurities can make her wonder why a man is interested in her. In addition, their view of men could affect their attitudes towards sex and intimacy. They may have been overly exposed to sex. That is not counting the fact many strippers are not the best at managing money.
Dating is becoming increasingly complex in the US. While social constructs are being turned upside down, dating rules have stayed the same. Women earn more than men. Yet, men are still responsible for financing dates. When you add high divorce rates, the fear of infidelity and an enormous amount of unemployed men, dating becomes an almost impossible task. This has resulted in a stand off between men and women. And no one is winning.
With that said, finding a qualified dating partner is becoming more than it is worth for some. For eons, people have found comfort dating someone in their immediate environment. That reduces the effort to find a potential mate. It can be better when the person is a known entity in your social circles. It could make it a safer and more comfortable choice. There are many who want to avoid the date from hell.
However, what if the person you desire is the ex of your best friend? Should that person be off limits? The benefit is you have a good idea as to who they are. The flipside is it may force your best friend to still have to interact with them. Can that create jealousy between you and your best friend if the relationship works out for you? And will it add drama to your life? Or should you reconsider whether or not your best friend is a wise decision maker? Perhaps your best friend got rid of the person because they were too good to be true.
Most people may have faced this situation at some point in their lives. How many will admit it? Lets open it up.
Tonight, Sunday, October 20, from 7:00pm-8:30pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos.
In western culture, marriage was not always a ceremonious event. It started as a verbal agreement between two people. Your word was your bond. If it didn’t work, divorce was just as simple. However, when it did work, roles were clear and simple. The couple worked and lived together as a team. Their cooperative union made life easier. When children came into the picture, the couple would continue the partnership to care for the children and prepare them for life.
As you can see, the intention of marriage was a consensual agreement to partner in life. At the same time, those laxed rules were abused. Some would marry several people without divorcing the others. That is when the church demanded they be involved. In 1563, the churched lobbied to have marriages sanctioned by a priest.
When we fast forward to the 21st Century, we, once again, see marriage being abused. This time women are marrying men and walking away with half his cash and assets. Even if a man came to the table with a house he inherited from his family, the woman can divorce and take it from him. If he meets the woman with $10 million in cash, she can take half in the event of a divorce. How is this possible? What is a woman offering that is worth $5 million?
In addition, women can use offspring of the marriage to extort the man until the child reaches 18. When you factor in women who demand alimony for life, marriage has many risks for men.
When corporations take on new initiatives, they do a risk analysis. Should men do a risk analysis of the woman and her family? If so, what are the key indicators he should explore to make his decision? Or should all men simply stay away from marriage?

This interview is kind of like a who are you and how did you get to where you are.
It's a show you won't want to miss. Join us for a high impact, counterintutive show that will leave you thinking.
When people experience something that questions or invalidates their beliefs, they figure out a way to ignore the new information. Think of the cigarette smoker who learns of the health risks of smoking. They can simply respond with “we’re all going to die anyway”. In the 21st Century, people embrace the slogan of “it’s my truth” to justify inappropriate behavior. They do this despite the fact their actions or beliefs are working against them. This is called cognitive dissonance. It is a term coined by social psychologist, Leon Festinger in the 1950s.
Whether it’s cheating on your spouse, a single mother with multiple children from different men or a priest molesting children, they can all justify their behavior. If you confront them, they will give a perfectly logical reason for why they must continue. Otherwise, they would have stopped immediately. For them, it is almost an addiction. Like most addictions, the first step is to admit what you are doing is not in your best interest.
What’s most interesting about cognitive dissonance is everyone experiences it at some point. If you just denied it, you just experienced it. Some of the signs you experience during cognitive dissonance is you ignore the facts, feel uncomfortable, rationalize, or you may even defend yourself angrily. With that said, when people claim something does not resonate with them, it may be because they are experiencing cognitive dissonance.
On today’s show, we are going to take a deep dive into this topic. We will address its origins, how it affects your intimate relationships and methods for getting out of the cognitive trap. So you will not want to miss it.
On the surface, arranged marriages sound absurd. For some, it may sound like oppression. At the same time, the institution of marriage is in trouble. Large numbers of men are losing interest in dating or marrying. Conversely, women’s desire to marry is increasing.
For men, there is no incentive. The risk of losing half of what you own is too high. That does not include the fact that many men fail to see any tangible benefits of marriage, unless they want to have children.
For women, they are witnessing the reality of the feminist movement that told women they did not need a man. Now you have more single women over 45 than ever. Many have no children and never married. That can be a lonely life if you live beyond 60 years.
As younger women see their lonely mothers, grandmothers, aunts and neighbors, they are seeking the road of a lifetime companion – a spouse. However, they may not know what to look for in a man. And men are so disenchanted they are also not sure what to seek in a woman. This never-ending confusion and frustration is causing a division between men and women.
The substitute for this confusion is something that never nourishes the relationship. Instead of a mutually beneficial companionship, people seek an individual who will give them a dopamine rush. Instead of building generational wealth, people are seeking someone who will give them constant excitement. That has become the criteria for a mate. When you stop providing the high excitement gives, the relationship comes to an end.
Arranged marriages can solve this problem. Because your parents know you well, they will have clearer insight into which person will make a compatible spouse for you.
As children, we are taught about finding that special person. That person is called the “One”. They are the person who makes us feel special and we want to spend the rest our lives with them. We even tell the world that we have found our soul mate. However, are we told how to prepare for that soul mate? What happens when the one you call soul mate sees you as a time killer? In other words, they don’t feel about you the way you feel about them.
There are many stories of people marrying the second runner up. And they lament about what could have happened if they would have married their soul mate. What they don’t talk about is what their soul mate needed in a mate.
To make matters worse, they compare everyone else to the “one” who got away. Yet, they never consider that they did not measure up to the one who got away.
With that said, people spend an inordinate amount of time teaching their children to find the “one”. It seems they forget to teach their children how to prepare and develop themselves for their soul mate. In a society where women chant “I don’t need a man”, it is hard to see how a woman with that mindset will ever be prepared for the “one”. The joke for that woman is that she should start collecting cats.
This topic will be eye opening for some and earth shattering for others. Nevertheless, it may be the most important conversation you will have in your life.

Rape is a horrible crime. It seems most believe perpetrators of the crime should be punished. However, when a man is falsely accused of rape, his entire life can be ruined. And the woman walks away without a slap on the wrist. When a man rapes someone, the penalty is severe. That is to discourage the crime. If there is no penalty for false accusations, how will women be discouraged from lying? Or is ruining someone’s life not seen as a crime?
With that said, lying about being raped does not appear to be a crime. Some argue and say it does not happen that often. And it cannot compare to actually being raped. Yet, the consequences for the man who is falsely accused can be devastating. Should the false accusations for rape carry the same penalty as rape?
Part of the problem is our society automatically believes the woman who files rape charges. It becomes his word against hers. In most cases, he is guilty unless she confesses otherwise.
In recent news, Britney Taylor has accused New England Patriot receiver, Antonio Brown of rape. In fact, he allegedly raped her on several occasions. Since men are guilty before proven innocent, when it comes to rape, how will this affect his career? If he is found innocent, should she have to compensate him for damages to his career? Financial stability? Reputation?

In the past, marriages were arranged. Those arranged marriages allowed families to choose a partner that could best protect and grow the family’s wealth. Instead of your son or daughter choosing the person they loved most, parents sought the most suitable person based family compatibility and assets. That allowed each generation to become wealthier. For example, a family with a substantial amount of cattle would marry their son to a family with a large amount of land. That merger allowed the cattle business to grow into several directions – selling meat for consumption, hide for leather, milk, etc.
For the past 150 years, it seems most people marry in the name of love. There is very little to no parental influence when it comes to the choice of a spouse. That means the wisdom of parents is no longer leveraged. And people are flying blindly when they seek love and compatibility. The result? It appears it is not working. The divorce rate has skyrocketed. Furthermore, the gap between the rich and poor has also increased.
In the 21st Century, it seems many people are becoming discouraged with marriage. Marriage rates are dropping.
However, marriage for the affluent has not dropped. In addition, their divorce rates are much lower than the general population. Why? It seems they focus more on compatibility than love. While love is in the air, they first make sure there are values they share in common. Those values are what maintain and grow wealth. Those same values keep the couple together in hard times.
With that said, as a man, how do you know if the women who caught your eye is qualified to spend the rest of her life with you. At some point, looks diminish.
When it comes to dating, there is a social constrict that says: “men are hunters”. Therefore, it is only natural for men to pursue women. In the animal kingdom, no animal hunts for sex. They only hunt for sustenance. That means animals only hunt for that which feeds and nourishes them. When it comes to a mate and sex, male animals spread their colorful feathers, as peacocks do or they set up an attractive place to make a female want to enter. In other cases, they fight the male to win the affection of his female, as lions do.
Therefore, it is a misnomer that any male animal hunts for sex. All males set up shop to attract females. As humans, men buy cars, big houses, acquire knowledge, money, power, muscles, etc. Those are all designed to attract the pick of the litter. If you observe, it works. For men who have not acquired “things”, they may have to hunt because they have nothing else to offer a woman. His offering is clever lines designed to make her feel good momentarily.
If you take a closer look, when women see a man who has amassed power and money, she becomes the huntress. The very same women who claim men should pursue them have no problem pursuing a man who is rich and famous. So is it more natural for men or women to pursue sex? Or do women avoid pursuing men because they don’t know how? Or they are afraid of rejection?

From little boys, men are told all the things they should do for girls and women. We hear it from our parents, teachers, friends, family and media. We know our role and some do it better than others. Furthermore, our role is so well known that even women know what we are supposed to do. They have memorized the entire list and added to it.
However, when you ask a woman about the list of things she is to do for a man, you get blank stares. If you push hard enough, she tells you sex and cooking. Yet, many were never taught to cook.
At the same time, women don’t believe they are responsible for knowing what a man needs. You often hear women say a man should speak up and tell a woman what he needs. How does that work? Men should know what women need. Women do not need to know what men need. Remember. Men are simple creatures. How can you have a good relationship with a woman who has not been educated about the role she plays in a relationship?
I haven’t even touched the fact there are women who don’t want to fulfill a man’s needs. They say they just don’t want to.
Well this Sunday we are going educate women and set the record straight.

Most relationships fail. That means they never make it to a committed partnership like marriage. Before it goes to a life long commitment, the relationship dissolves and the couple will go their separate ways.
The biggest problems for failure appear to evade most people. In other words, people are engaged in activities that almost guarantee the relationship will fail. Yet, for some reason, they believe their behavior is acceptable because everyone else is doing it.
While the reasons for a failing relationship can appear to be many, there are five that top the list for the overwhelming majority of people. And if you think sex did not make the list, think again. This can happen even if you believe sex is all it takes to make the relationship work.
Some relationships fail before they start. Why? The reason people become involved with one another. With that said, many of you are engaged in behaviors that are killing your relationship right now. For some, you believe this is just the way relationships work. At the same time, if you don’t know any better, so what can be expected? Today you have an opportunity to change that.
Join us for an eye opening discussion for why you are the culprit who is destroying your relationship right now.
Tonight, Sunday, August 4, from 7:00pm-8:30pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Robert Lee.
For eons, men were expected to go out and hunt and bring home the bacon for the woman to cook. In the past few decades, women have been climbing the corporate ladder and earning higher incomes. In some cases, she earns more than most men she meets. When a woman earns more, does that change dating? Does it change the roles she plays as a wife?
Many women have benefited from feminism. The feminist movement demanded women be given the same career opportunities as men. And women are paid the same. In the 21st Century, there are clear results of feminism. The majority of the workforce is made up of women – 51%. In addition, many women are so well paid that it is difficult for them to find a man who fits the tradition of the man making more. So does money interfere with love? In other words, can a woman love and respect a man who earns less than her? Is money strong enough to change the biology of men and women and reverse roles?
On this show, we are going to discuss this topic in great detail. We are going to sit down with a woman who is so well educated and intelligent that any company in their right mind would compensate her handsomely. Yet, when it came to love, her choice of a spouse was not predicated on his earnings. Her name is Barbara Broome, Ph.D. She is the Dean and professor at the famous Kent State University College of Nursing. Without question, she is a model woman for anyone’s daughter to follow. At the same time, many of her philosophies about love, marriage, money, gender roles and feminism may shock you.
For this show, be prepared to have your core beliefs provoked.
As a rule, men are taught to be strong mentally and physically. When they face insurmountable circumstances, they are told to be tougher than the situation. Yet, men commit 77% of suicides. When suicide is the best solution, it means a man is facing challenges that may appear to be over his head. Yet, he believes he has to handle it alone.
They say it’s lonely at the top. However, the greatest kings have all had advisors. In the 21st Century, the top CEOs usually have an executive coach who helps them keep their head straight. Except, the average man believes seeking support is a sign of weakness, even when he faces crises.
On this show, we are going to undress the myths of why men believe they have to suffer in silence. Because this topic is very sensitive, we are going to have a very special guest. His name is Dr. Robert Mead. Dr. Mead is a licensed clinical and consulting psychologist. Through his eclectic approach, he has been able help people embark on insightful journeys and discover practical solutions to happiness and realize aspirations that once appeared impossible. He has also helped his single clients make healthy relationship choices. And he has helped couples achieve successful and fulfilling partnerships.
We encourage you to join this show and be prepared to ask questions about your greatest personal or relationship challenges.
"All that glitters is not gold" is an appropriate line in the dating world. There are many women who look great, on paper. However, once you get to know her, the person she pretended to be disappears. That’s because she sent her well-trained representative to make a good impression. When the representative retires, the kind gentle woman who wanted to hear everything you said will now talk over you before a word comes out of your mouth. What happened?
For some reason, our best foot is reserved for the first few months of getting to know a person. After the honeymoon is over, we believe people should accept the flaws we shamelessly impose on them. Yet, we hide those flaws in the beginning for fear the person will not accept us for who we are.
Since most people don’t own a crystal ball, they feel as though they were blindsided when the real person shows up. They say he/she changed. No, they never changed. You simply had no idea how to get them to reveal themselves.
On this show, we're going to focus on how to lift the veil on the representative and smoke out the real person. While dating can be filled with excitement, you are inviting a new person into your life. If you don’t know what questions to ask, you may be inviting disaster into your life.
Therefore, it's imperative to know what to ask. As a man, do you want to waste valuable resources on a woman who is not worth your time? This show will teach you how to uncover what you really need to know without her knowing you are stripping her down to the truth.

As men, we witness the joys of pregnancy and birth. While we are surely part of it from conception to birth, we don’t feel the changes a woman’s body goes through. At the same time, we are affected by those changes. In most cases, we want to protect our woman from any pain and discomfort. Except, being there for her may be the most we can offer to alleviate the pain.
However, when it comes to postpartum depression, we can be caught off guard. We expect our woman to feel joy over a newborn. Yet, she is distant from the child and she is showing other signs that we are not qualified to handle. Some men even consider abandoning the relationship. Therefore, it is imperative that a man be able to read the signs and symptoms and reach out for the proper support.
On this show, we are going to have a guest. Her name is Dr. Anita Kay Martin. She has been an OB/GYN for 30 years. In a nutshell, she has seen it all. She will talk about the things a man can do to support his woman through postpartum depression.
In addition: there are men who also go through postpartum depression. Where do men go when they need support? Men need to understand the symptoms in themselves and know the proper channels for support.
We encourage men and women who have gone through these challenging times during and after pregnancy. For those going through it now, we encourage you to call so you can have a clearer understanding and learn how to work through it.

For most, sex is a feel good activity.
Unfortunately, in the USA, most women never have the complete experience of how good sex can be. According to a September 21, 2017, article in Metro, titled "Almost 80% of Women Don’t Orgasm from Penetrative Sex", many women in the US never reach a climax. So why are they having sex?
In some marriages, they simply are not.
Furthermore, there are millions of men and women who abstain from sex and practice celibacy. They haven’t had sex 5, 10 and even sometimes 20+ years. Why?
Some people practice celibacy for religious reasons. Others are so disenchanted with the opposite sex they refuse to engage one another in intimate relationships.
Yet, sex is much more important than a feel good moment. Statistically there are couples that benefit economically from very active sex lives. More important than personal economics is the intention of sex. Is sex really about the climax?
Sex is the most important part of nation building. The nation or community’s physical and mental well being is predicated on sex. Why? There are aspects of sex that can build a powerful nation or birth a weak and poverty stricken community that moves aimlessly through life. How do you know if you are building a weak or powerful nation through your sexuality?
Tune in Sunday -- and we will open up a conversation that is rarely discussed.

From the time we learn to speak, we are taught the importance of trust. In fact, we are told if there is no trust, there is no relationship. When trust dies, we are told the relationship dies. We even hear how importance trust is in our professional lives. Leaders are told to trust their people. As a result, we have all grown to depend on trust to build relationships of any kind.
But, what if this is bad advice? What if we don’t know that advice is bad because no one has ever questioned it? Tonight we are going to question whether or not it is in our best interest to depend on trust.
In the crudest form, every healthy person learned to walk as an infant without the need for trust in self. When we took our first steps, we fell over and over again. If we had to depend on trust, many of us would have believed that we could not trust ourselves. That may have made some people give up on walking. Because all healthy people can walk, it shows that trust is not needed to accomplish things. Yet, we are told to trust in self and only become close to people you trust.
On this show: we are going to discuss why you should kill trust for self and your closest relationships. What is actually needed is much more powerful than trust. Great communication is just one of the requirements. Tune to hear the rest.

Black people: we’ve got so much work to do.
Most of us act like we've got this thing called Life figured out, and we don't. We come off like we’re truly making progress as a people, but we’re not.
Whether it’s on our Timeline, in chat rooms…..we witness a lot of talking about our Black problems. We hear talk all the time about nation building and working together.
But when did ONLY having a dialogue replace the “boots on the ground” work we need in the Black race?
Many of us are still “slaving”, building someone else's dream under the guise of a “good job”. The absolute only way to protect ourselves is for our people to create industries that can employ us. We know that, yet, we’re not getting it done. It's too easy to eliminate Black people, mainly since we’re mostly dependent on The Dominant Society for our bread & butter.
You must understand that the aim is for us to be extinguished -- by any means.
And sadly, that isn’t even the LEAST of our problems.
Join us tonight where we will be discussing the top three most critical issues within Black culture, in addition to what needs to be our very first step in righting the ship. This one is not for the faint of heart, as we are going to snatch the band aid off, and get to a place of progress and forward movement.
Listen in this Sunday, June 16th from 7p to 8:30p. www.blogtalkradio.com
In January of this year, we gave the top 10 things to do to make a relationship work. This Sunday we are going to provide the top 10 things you should NEVER do.
Some of the items on the list may appear to be common sense. Yet, they happen every day and become the catalyst for destroying good relationships. That goes to show that common sense isn’t so common. Furthermore, what’s common sense to one person is an epiphany to another.
So let’s talk about it!
Some of the items are hidden traps in relationships. These are things that we do. Except, we don’t believe they do much harm. Contrary to popular belief many of these things are the cause for resentment and the start of tit for tat dynamics. These are the silent relationship killers. They are the not so obvious time bombs. And we are going to dismantle them and help you understand why you should avoid them.
Join us for a discussion that just might give you a new perspective on relationships.

Even though most people are seeking love from an intimate relationship, the dating world is filled with traps, dead ends and black holes. For women, they fear the dead end relationship that is only about sex. For men, one of their biggest fears is to meet the woman who turns his bank account into a black hole. She’s the infamous gold digger.
Some men believe all women are gold diggers. For the record, this is not true. Simply look at the successful men who have a woman who stuck with him through thick and thin. Sometimes the thick was sleeping out of his car together because they lost it all. Through teamwork, they turned life around to become millionaires.
On the other hand, there are women who are only there for what the man can provide. Many men have gone broke dating the gold digger. Since this does happen, it would be wise to be able to recognize her on sight.
At the same time, there are men who have successfully cracked the code on the gold digger psyche. Those men successfully date gold diggers without spending a dime. And the gold digging woman is happy to be in his company. Is there a method to his madness? Or is it pure luck?
This Sunday we will have a very special guest on the show. He is a gentleman who has consistently dated gold diggers without spending money. He will share his secrets as well as how to captivate and keep the attention of any woman. This one you won’t want to miss.

It was roughly 10 days ago this time that the nation began trending and deliberating about NBA superstar Steph Curry’s wife, Mrs. Ayesha Curry.
For those not in the know, we’ll make it brief: she did an online interview with Jada Pinkett Smith. In the discourse with Jada, Ayesha Curry eluded to the fact that she was “somewhat jealous” of the adulation & attention that her husband receives, being a rich NBA phenom. She lamented to the ‘Red Table Talk’ crew that she wished she got the interest from men of the opposite sex, as does her husband.
What happened next would be a firestorm of debates, triggered feelings, rebuttals, and scathing dialogue.
The women felt it was “much ado about nothing”, and the men were putting too much mustard on the hot dog. Everyone wants to feel desired, the women said.
The men’s version was: how could this woman – who has a doting husband who’s rich beyond anyone’s dreams – have a wife who would tell the world that she still has a longing for attention from outside men?
Should Steph Curry be upset? Is this the writing on the wall of bigger problems to come? Is Steph at all to blame in this scenario? Is this an issue that happens with celebrity women who have husbands that are "sought after" by outside chicks?
In this weeks Podcast: we're going to have dissenting opinions from each side weigh in, and explain how this issue will reverberate for many years to come.

For more than a century: the United States has been considered a melting pot. It's a country where people from all over the world come to find opportunity and make a new life. In the beginning, different ethnic groups may have had a difficult time coming together because of language differences. Over time, everyone adopted English and other US customs. That put everyone on common ground and opened the door for younger generations to intermingle.
While many ethnic groups cautiously intermarried, black and white interracial relationships were illegal for decades. Since those barriers have been removed, people are free to have relationships with whomever they choose. Except, some level of social stigma may still remain a hidden conversation for some ethnic groups.
On this particular show, we will explore the social stigmas. Are there differences in dating outside of your so-called race? Is there an exotic infatuation with the differences in look, culture or sexual prowess? Or is it possible for two people to simply love one another as human beings? Does an interracial relationship create unnecessary stress for the couple? If they have children, does being a mixed race cause them to be alienated?

If a man is seeing two women and lies to one or both, he is cheating.
A man living with two women at the same time is called a Polygamist.
And he is a different kind of man when compared to the cheater.
Polygamy isn’t new. It’s been practiced around the world for thousands of years. It’s part of many cultures, including some in Africa, and plenty of people in America practice it as well.” The Mormons are well known for it. Today 84% of Americans say they find polygamy morally objectionable. That’s down from 93% in 2001. For the tens of thousands of families in the US who practice polygamy and other poly lifestyles, it’s not only considered normal, but many believe it’s the only way to go. They’re willing to risk societal stigma, heartache, and even possible arrest to live the way they feel they should.
As it stands, when you hear polyamorous or polygamy mentioned, most individuals jump to “oh. He sounds like one of those guys, who just wants multiple pieces of in-house a** at his disposal.” Not realizing it’s quite a bit more involved than that.
We’ll be discussing the origins of the “poly” lifestyle. We’re going to speak on why it’s having a rebirth of sorts, speak on the pros/cons…..as well as chat with numerous individuals who are quite familiar with how it operates. Join us this Sunday, May 5th, from 7:00pm-8:30pm (EST) for a discussion you truly don’t wanna miss at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash on Blog Talk Radio.

Some say love is love no matter where you get it. Others say that you can’t help who you love. Therefore, love can be found anywhere, even where you are. However, has love become less of a priority in the US? Has being tough and independent become a greater priority than love?
With that said, there is a growing number of men pursuing women in other countries. Places like the Philippines, Russia, Brazil and the Dominican Republic, to name a few, are attracting US men in huge numbers. What has men fascinated with these exotic women? Is it looks? Is it their value system? Or do they believe they have a better chance of being fully loved?
While finding love abroad is not without its challenges, men continue to flock to these foreign women. Some of these women from other countries are only seeking to lay their feet on US soil. Once here, they may abandon the man who brought them over. Those women believe there are greater opportunities in the US. Yet, with that knowledge, men in the US continue to seek the love of their life in foreign lands.
Is a man’s quest for love in foreign lands a message to women in the US? Are women in the US listening? Or are women holding their ground of “take me the way I am or leave it”?
These questions and many more need to be addressed and discussed. This Sunday we are going to do just that.

The general consensus about WHY people cheat is that there’s a problem with either the cheater – or the relationship. Often we assume cheaters have a history/pathology, or at best a form of immaturity that pushes them into infidelity. We assume the primary relationship is flawed in some significant way that creates a “need” for external sex and intimacy. Either way, we tend to view infidelity as symptomatic of underlying problems. Regardless of the problem, some people believe cheating is the solution to the symptomatic problem.
In recent history, being labeled a “cheater” was a title that fell strictly onto the male species. But recently people have started putting 2+2 together and realized that women step outside the relationship just as much, if not more than men.
Our show this week isn’t going to focus on the proverbial “who cheats more”. It will be directed to a question we dare not ask: how does a Couple go forward with a relationship AFTER infidelity?
Does the Couple need counseling?
Will the trust ever go back to 100%?
Is/was there anything that could’ve been done to stop the infidelity?
Is the person who was “cheated on” accountable in any way whatsoever?
These and other questions will be addressed in our upcoming show, titled “MY PARTNER CHEATED, NOW WHAT”?

Many of our listeners have come to depend on the solid feedback and information provided on our shows. In fact, for the past several weeks, people have been sending Blair and I emails with requests. People are seeking feedback on their relationship challenges. Some are married. Others are single. The emails and inbox messages are coming from men and women of different ages. While they have all requested to remain anonymous, they would like to hear different perspectives from other listeners.
So today we are going to do just that. We will tell you the situations for several people. Here's an example:
CASE ONE:
Ok Blair, here’s my question. I'm a newlywed. I believe in submission. I serve my king and also allow him to manage our finances. He does well and we have plenty in savings. He gives me an allowance to take care of the groceries, my hair, and lunch for the week. I asked him for extra last week to treat myself to a massage and he told me no because it wasn't in the budget. I'm pissed and I feel like I shouldn't even have to ask. I can’t withdraw the funds myself because my name is not on the savings account. I've stopped depositing my check into our joint account. I'd love to hear your communities thoughts on this!
Tonight, April 14, from 7:00pm-8:30pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash.

Unless you live on another planet, you’ve no doubt heard multiple discussions on how R&B superstar Ciara & Seahawks QB, Russell Wilson, got together.
I get asked several times a week – and have explained to my Supporters – why many Black men have issue with the way Russ & Ciara got together. (And nah, the issue is not jealousy. Not even a little bit).
Tune in to this interesting take on why Russell Wilson’s marriage is seen as “lame” to most bruhs. We’ll be taking your questions, and would ask that you to Call In to the show and voice your opinion.
We’ll also be dialoguing about the untimely murder of Nipsey Hussle. His death was headline news right as our Podcast was ending last week. Since then: stories have been all over the map, from a CIA cover up, was it linked to Dr Sebi, etc, etc.
We’ll be speaking with people who knew both Dr. Sebi (namely, my cohost Ted Santos) and Nipsey Hussle on today’s show.
Finally – we’re going to speak briefly about a Long Island teacher who was fired over a topless photo that circulated the internet – and her plans to sue the school district.
All that and more tonight on “STRAIGHT TALK” with Ted & Blair.

It’s safe to say most people want to experience romantic love. Yet, for some reason, many marriages that start with love end in divorce. That’s not counting the amount of relationships that start and end on a dead end street.
How can so many people claim to want the same thing yet be unable to find it?
Perhaps....it’s our approach to love. On many of our previous shows, we discussed the fact that marriage rates amongst the masses continue to drop. It seems people are becoming disenchanted with love and marriage. On the other hand, marriages among the affluent have not dropped. Furthermore, their divorce rates are significantly lower than other socioeconomic classes. How's that possible? They live in the same country as the rest. The same media supposedly influences them. What do they know?
This show will examine whether or not most people approach relationships backwards. It will zoom in on the aspects of relationships that are most important. However, those aspects are often ignored. In fact: some believe they magically occur. The wealthy know there is no such thing as magic. It’s mutual effort that makes it work.
The question is: do you know which effort is most important?
If you are already married, this show is an opportunity to give your relationship a reality check. If you are seeking the love of your life, this show will provide you with the tools to ensure you choose the right person. Don’t miss it. And bring your toughest questions or the real world challenges you face.

In the 21st Century: many singles claim they want a partnership with someone special. Yet, that reality seems to evade them. While some say the definition of partnership is up to the individual couple, it doesn’t matter how you define it if you remain single.
If people understand a love relationship is a team sport, they may approach it differently. To make the team, you have to bring a level of value that causes the team to win. If you don’t, you get cut from the team. When you are valuable, you are highly rewarded.
What makes a valuable partner?
In general, you must bring a skill that is appropriate for the team. And it is imperative that you understand cooperation. Without the attitude of cooperation, you could be seen as a selfish team member. That could get you traded, even if you are talented.
On this show, we will have a detailed discussion about the skills and mindset necessary to create a powerful partnership. This show will be an opportunity for individuals or couples to call in and discuss how to develop the skills and attitudes that will allow you to build a partnership that becomes a winning team.
With that said, call Blair and I to discuss Real World problems. Throw your most difficult relationship challenges at us. Let’s talk them through so you have tools and workable solutions you can put to use after you hang up the phone.

According to Wikipedia: the “Me Too” movement (or #MeToo movement), with a large variety of local and international alternative names, is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. The campaign – sparked by civil rights activist Tarana Burke – began back in 2006.
The concept of the organization is that many men had “gotten away with these actions for years”, and it seemed as though the perpetrators would never pay any consequences.
Lately though, the movement has met a crackling backlash. Many of its detractors claim it never was a “real movement”, and that it is nothing more than a face-saving act for Hollywood. A growing legion of men have complained that it’s not about seeing men brought to justice – but that it’s the ultimate power move – spurned by a group of women with an axe to grind.
For this particular show: we will be discussing for an entire two hours ALL aspects of this movement that has shook the foundation of music, politics, entertainment, etc.
Are men simply “butt hurt” that they’re losing ground? Are women using the movement to "get back at men”?
What sorts of legislation should be passed to penalize men who commit sexual assault?
What sorts of legislation should be passed to penalize women who embellish or lie on men?
These questions AND MORE will be discussed in our upcoming Podcast.

When people think of marriage, they think of a man first proposing to a woman. However, the question that is rarely asked is: why did he choose that particular woman? In the US, there are more women than men. Therefore, technically speaking, a man has more options for marriage than women do.
Yet, he narrows it down to one.
Why did he choose HER?
This question is important because more and more women find themselves unable to find a suitable mate who will take her down the aisle. It can’t be that all men are bad.
Traditionally we focus on the things a man should do for a woman. He is to be a gentleman, buy a ring, drop on one knee and propose. He is supposed to do this for her, because she is "the prize". The list of other things goes on ad nauseam. Except, we never get into the mind of the man to fully understand what he is seeking in that “one” special woman. And for the guys who refuse to propose, what is it they are not finding in a woman?
This discussion will help men who do not know what they are seeking in a wife. And it is for women who have a difficult time understanding what men want in a wife.

For decades, women have chanted: All Men Cheat! When the self fulfilling prophesy comes true though, those same women become angry and disappointed with men.
Why?
If you really believe your man will cheat, why not allow him to have a second woman? That way you can mitigate the chances of him sleeping around recklessly.
Besides, there is an age-old debate about monogamy amongst humans. Is monogamy a natural part of human existence? If so, why is it commonly believed that men will eventually cheat?
If it’s not, why attempt to force it?
Has nature designed men to sleep with many women in order to perpetuate the species? Or is sexual compatibility at the root of the problem?
In previous shows, we uncovered that men and women do not have open and honest dialogue about sex and relationships. In fact, most, if not all, don’t listen to one another. If this is the case, perhaps the answer to why men cheat lies in the communication gaps between men and women.
On this show, we are going to strip the topic of sex down to naked truths, even if they are ugly. With those truths, we are going to make the case for why men should be allowed to have a second woman. If a second woman is not the answer, we will uncover what men have been asking for and not receiving in love.

Turn on any news media station that speaks about money -- and they speak of it in a way that comes off like everyone has endless reserves of cash. You hear the financial gurus who talk about “what you should do is take $150,000 liquid cash & purchase the stocks of a corporation trading on the stock exchange, or t-bills, bearer bonds, global funds, or some other high end annuities”.
But let’s talk real world results, shall we?
Most Americans? We don’t have $150,000 lying around. (We might not have $50,000). IF we happen to put hands on that large sum of money, it’s going towards our kids education, credit card debt, etc.
Most Americans (that’s 70-80% of households) are living PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK. Those are the facts.
So the idea of taking large cash and putting it in stocks is somewhat of a “ruse”.

We’ve all seen the images: a happy Couple, trapped in a euphoria of bliss. Excited for the future. Making plans of multiple children, exotic trips, building a home from the ground up….
Creating a LEGACY.
Even the wedding was an event. The bride and groom gazed into each other’s souls, assuring their vows were for “Forever And A Day”.
But then………….something happened.
Fast forward 1, 5, 10+ years. The respect has vanished. The love is forced. No smiles, no vision for the future. Each side has taken a hard stance, and even basic communication starts a mini-war.
We all know how this chapter ends.
How do we go from "We Gon Conquer It All????" To "Ni@@a I'ma See You In Court"??
For this show, we will be speaking with three different men and women who are recently divorced, or are dealing with the struggles of being currently separated. They will be sharing their stories of disappointment, how everything came crashing down, and what’s the next step in their “process”.
JOIN US for what will inevitably be a very transparent discussion on this age-old topic!

The Superbowl is over....and we're back!!!!
Has society abandoned men? Has the term "toxic masculinity" become toxic for men? In the United States, there are more homeless men than women. Significantly more men give their lives in the military – over the last 20 years over 6,800 men died and 46 women from enemy fire.
Furthermore, men commit 77% of suicides. Society doesn't even blink when men die. What’s just as troubling and has been ignored, is that the US is the first country in the world where more men and boys are raped and molested than women – counting the military and prison. Those are just of few of the facts of what is occurring in the 21st Century.
Have we ignored the fact men are human beings? Or do we see them as "disposable"?
While it is true men are more likely to be perpetrators of violent crimes, it seems our society believes punishing masculinity is the solution to make men more peaceful. Does less masculine = more feminine? Have we considered the long-term consequences of that tactic? Have we even asked men what they want?
On this show: we are going to take a very deep dive into what is happening to men. We are going to have a very Special Guest to explore this topic. Her name is Lori Miller. She is a psychologist who works in an extremely unique capacity with men. Her insights will allow us to view the genesis of where we MAY have gone wrong with the male population.

There are so many books that provide relationship advice. Some of those books provide explicit instructions on the appropriate time to have sex with a new love interest. Some books say 30 days, while others say 90. Then there are books that are ambiguous. With so much different advice, it’s no wonder many women are confused about sexuality.
When you combine that with the fact the USA was founded by puritans who were exiled from Europe, sexuality in the US becomes even more confusing. Puritan culture was very suppressive. And that is the foundation of US culture. When you build on that foundation and you attempt to appear sexually free, there is still influence from the puritans. This means there is a certain level of sexual inhibition that is masked by promiscuity and anything goes behavior. This inhibition happens especially for women because they are made to believe they don’t need sex as much as men. By the way, being promiscuous does not mean you are sexually free.
If we do a reset, we will be able to throw away outdated advice about the right moment to have sex for the first time. On this call, we are going to hit the reset button. We are seeking sexual freedom.
Join us as we seek to create a new sexual paradigm that is in everyone’s best interest.

In the age of equal pay, many women brag about earning equal or more than men. With that level of pay, should there be equal responsibility in dating? Unfortunately, many women believe paying for a date is a man’s job. Those women claim to be old fashion when it comes to spending their money. However, in other aspects of the relationship, she wants equal say. She even wants to implicitly have say over dating activities.
With that said, why do people go on dates? Is it to fatten a woman’s belly? Or is it to kill off the boredom of her lifeless activities she does on her own?
In the past, dating was very simple. Men would sit on a woman’s porch and talk to her for hours. There were no restaurants, movies or other exciting activities. There wasn’t even sex. The man and woman invested equal time with one another to ensure they understood where the other was coming from. Once they decided the affinity was strong and goals were similar, marriage became the next topic.
How did we go from simply getting to know one another to expensive dates that allow both people to hide behind activities? When the activities stop, the couple may quickly learn they don’t even like each other. What a backwards approach we are taking these days.
On this show, we are going to examine whether or not dating should be rethought. As it stands, the current dating process has left many people disenchanted with relationships.
Join us for a topic that is guaranteed to be emotionally charged!
Sunday, January 20, from 7:00pm-8:30pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash.
There are women who complain that men don’t listen. Is this true? Do men check out when a woman is speaking with him? If so, why would this happen?
According to some men, they believe women become emotional about many topics. Men say women’s expressions are not usually logical or fact based. Or women depend mostly on their personal experience to make their point. And if she becomes upset or passionate about the subject, the man may feel as though he will not be able to speak. As a result, he remains silent. Hence, the reputation men have earned; men do not like to express themselves.
What if men have created a false presupposition about the way women think and speak? What if there is merit too much of what women say, even if they are emotional about it?
On this show, Ted and Blair are going to facilitate a conversation that may be highly charged. However, this is the opportunity to get to the bottom of it. We invite you to help us explore this topic in search of the facts, even if it does get a little emotional.

Now that there are more women in the workforce than men, the odds are higher for a man to date a woman with a thriving career. Since there are a finite amount of jobs, that means more men are displaced from the workforce than ever. What will society do with an enormous amount of displaced men? Will the rules of dating change?
At the same time, for men who have a prosperous profession, a career woman can be a huge asset. A woman who is an attorney can offer legal security. A woman who is a doctor can benefit a man’s health. A financial wiz can help a man better negotiate deals. This list of benefits can go on.
However, do most women think in terms of being an asset? Does a career woman translate to equal responsibility in the relationship? While dating and marrying a career woman has many benefits, there is a flip side. That side is not always the most attractive or logical.
For this show, Ted and Blair are going to strip down the reality of the career woman. We are going to look at the good, the bad and the ugly. From there we will look at solutions that benefit men and women, in such a way, relationships work.

In the face of gender wars, many men feel cornered. They have heard the cries of women and most men believe they have been responsive. Yet, with the advent of the “Me Too” movement, masses of men are lost for words. Women have pointed the finger at all men with terms like “toxic masculinity”. This has resulted in frustration, disappointment and anger on the part of men. Many are not sure which way to turn to support women. Others feel cornered and voiceless.
To bring voices back to men, the co-hosts, Ted and Blair are going to dedicate an entire show to providing sound advice for men, whether in a relationship or seeking love. We also invite the callers to share the best advice they have received.
For this show, Ted and Blair are going to provide advice backed by decades of experience as trusted advisors to men and women. In addition, they will include insights into why these strategies are so effective. Ultimately, the advice is designed for men who truly want to make relationships work.

Go to just about anyone’s social media page where they discuss relationships, and you will find some of the most barbaric and disrespectful content you’ve seen in decades.
Men and women have always seen things somewhat different, but the last eight to ten years, it appears as someone has thrown gas on the fire. Women calling guys things you used to only hear via gangster rap songs, and men responding with the same heat.
It used to seem as though we had an everlasting love affair with one another. That’s been readily placed now by anger, triggered comments, abusive language, etc. Seems like no matter how kind and peaceful each side tries to be, the “proverbial olive branch” is knocked out the other gender’s hands, and there’s no peace or respect to show for it.
We are going to break this subject down into three parts: how it got started, why it’s going on (and is there a deeper reason), and finally how do we begin to pull ourselves from the wreckage.
Tune in to this one of a kind riveting show, where we’ll have multiple Guests from both sides of the aisle weigh in!
Join us this Sunday, December 23rd at 7p, EST for our Discussion!
For decades, the feminist movement has demonized men. However, over the last decade, the feminist movement has become less popular amongst women in the US. Is the “Me Too” movement a desperate attempt to bring life back to feminism? Or are men the beastly animals that feminism has depicted?
When we explore human behavior, we find there are certain behaviors that are apparent anywhere in the world. One of the behaviors is the result of giving a person power. When women are given the same power and authority as men, they exercise many of the same privileges, including sexual exploitation.
While it is inappropriate for any person to sexually exploit another, it is time to uncover many of the hidden facts that are not dealt with in the “me too” movement. As it stands, men are condemned for questioning the claims or intention of “me too”. If we do speak up, we are labeled misogynists, sexists or uncaring human beings. At the same time, any movement can become irresponsible if it is not fact check and held to account.
On Straight Talk, we are going to fact check and uncover realities that “me too” refuses to address. Some of those realities can be the source of problems between men and women. Join us and give us your thoughts so we can get to the bottom of this!

FOR DECADES, there has been a rumor that men only want one thing – sex. The rumor has been told for so many years that just about every living man believes it’s true. Then they get into a serious relationship and learn their needs go well beyond sex, even though it’s extremely important.
While sex is important, it can be taboo to discuss, even in a mature way. Because many women believe it’s the only thing a man wants, she has her guard up to protect herself from a man’s fiendish sexual desires. Yet, women are just as desirous of sex as men.
On the other hand: the topic of sex brings excitement and chemistry between a man and woman -- if skillfully done. It can even make the couple believe they are compatible, especially if the sex is very good.
With all this said, the offense of a man and defense of a woman can make the pursuit of sex like a jui-jitsu match. The man wants to pin the woman in bed and she is attempting to avoid being pinned, while she secretly wants to be pleased sexually.
How did we create such a convoluted culture? Sex is as natural as eating, sleeping and going to the bathroom. Our bodies need it. And we can’t even talk about it without the fear of severe consequences.
On "Straight Talk", we are going to dive right into it (no pun intended). We are going to get to the bottom and see what comes up.
Join us and give us your thoughts!

People speak of the power of love and how it brings couples together. Yet, most marriages fail. And the majority of those marriages were conducted in the name of love. How is this possible?
If love is the bond that brings people together, is it possible that most do not know what love is? Or is love an insufficient element to build a great relationship that stands the test of time?
For eons, there was a science to finding the right mate. Not only did those marriages last the couple built a legacy to leave behind. Somewhere in modern history that science was abandoned. Since the divorce rate has reached unprecedented levels, it would seem people would stop doing the same thing over and over and over again. But no! They are doing the same things hoping for a different result.
On Straight Talk, with Ted Santos & Blair Nash, we are going to get to the bottom of this issue. Is it or is it not love that makes great relationships? Or does it take more than love?

Fellas: when you first get to know a woman, she will put her best foot forward. Some call it her representative with good manners. After a certain time period, she dismisses the representative and makes her first personal appearance. Because the real person is so different from the representative, you may feel as though you are meeting a stranger. That can leave a man feeling as though he was deceived.
Before the representative gets laid off, there are patterns to look for. On Straight Talk, with Ted Santos & Blair Nash, we are going to open your eyes to the warning signs of what you’re really getting yourself into.
Since most men finance relationships – dinner, movies, gifts, etc., you have a right to understand whether or not you want to make that kind of investment in a woman. This show will help you eliminate bad choices. At the same time, she may be worth the effort, in the face of red flags. You may have to change your approach.

On the surface, the answer may appear obvious to many men. However, when you take a deep dive into the reality, the answer may change.
The player is the guy who never or rarely commits to one woman. Instead, he develops a keen skill for meeting and mating with as many women as possible. His insight into women is clear. His words are carefully chosen to put her at ease and make her feel free. And he knows what to say and what not to say. Some call him smooth.
To some guys, he looks as though he is winning. The question is what is he winning?
On the flip side, there is the guy who is a one-woman man. He seeks marriage and children, the family guy. In his mind, he too is winning.
Is the player a player because he is afraid of a failed marriage? Is it really advantageous to be with many different women? Is the married guy afraid of being alone? Does marriage really benefit men?

If all men were bad, it would make sense for women to choose the wrong guy. Better said they would not have a choice except to be with the “bad boy”. However, since most men are good, how does a woman end up with a bad guy?
On this show, we are going to completely open up a can of worms. In most cases, the media says men are dogs and will have sex with anything. And somehow that conversation assumes no responsibility for women who choose these so-called lousy men. Sunday, November 11, we are going to turn this topic on its head and look at it from a man’s perspective.
By tuning in, you, as a man, will know the difference between women who consistently make bad choices and women who avoid those guys. And you will be better equipped to choose the lady who does not follow this pattern.
Fellas, you might just learn something you didn’t know you didn’t know. Don’t miss it.
Sunday, November 11, from 7:00pm-8:00pm (EST) at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash on www.blogtalkradio.com. Call to comment live at: (323) 642-1387.

There are many chants about the needs of men. Some women chant that men are simple creatures who don’t need much. Others say men only need food and sex. Yet, 50% of divorces fail. The top two reasons for failed divorce is money and sex. How is this possible if men are that simple?
The chants of a man’s needs have been the same for so long that perhaps some men believe it. However, once in a relationship, a man will quickly realize that his needs are not as simple as food and sex.
Join us for a somewhat educational discussion about what men really need from women.
For the ladies who believe they have cracked the code, we would love to hear your secrets. More importantly, fellas, we need you to call in to have a very open and honest conversation about what you really need from the woman in your life.
In all likelihood, this conversation will be a suspenseful journey filled with surprises, twists and turns. Don’t miss it.
Sunday, November 4, from 7:00pm-8:00pm at Straight Talk with Ted Santos and Blair Nash. Call to comment live at: (323) 642-1387.

In a recent article about China, they described an appropriate age for women to marry. In the article, they stated a woman who is unmarried by age 28 is considered undesirable. When a man is seeking a new bride, his hope is that she is less than 25. If she is 30, there will be frowns and questions about her past and how suitable she may be as a wife. In fact, most men would never consider her to be wife material at age 30. For the rest of her life, the best men would overlook her.
In the US, the career woman reins. Many women put off marriage until well in their 30s. They make the claim that their career is more important than having a husband and children.
However, what would happen if men in the US embraced Chinese culture? Would it force women to make different decisions about dating? Would it force women to choose a suitable mate before age 25? Would that affect their careers?
Join us for this conversation and answers to these questions and many more!
When we talk about infidelity – you’ll hear a chorus of women say “I’d be on the first thing smokin if my man ever cheated…. I don’t do cheating….at all”…
Many of us who KNOW relationships will tell you that’s far from the truth.
TONIGHT: we will be speaking with a married woman whose husband cheated while they were dating, cheated AFTER marriage…………..and they’re still together!
Join us, as we listen in and hear unashamed and brazen details about cheating – and LEARN how to rebuild trust again!
Today's epiosde we will be discussing a plethora of topics. Many of our listeners have no clue to who Blair and Ted are. We will have several Call In Guests, as well giving a "direction" to how future episodes will proceed.
More than ever: men are experiencing frustrations with women. The rules of yesterday have quickly changed, and men are unsure how to approach or establish happiness in love relationships with women. Unfortunately, there is no platform for men to come together to discuss these challenges.
Ted Santos and Blair Nash have created a platform to fill that void in society.
It’s rare for men to have a platform that allows them to discuss life challenges – love, work, and family. Instead, as it’s a learned behavior, most men keep many of their concerns bottled inside.
By creating a live call-in radio show through the Internet, ‘Straight Talk’ is a place where men can openly speak about their personal concerns and receive feedback from two professionals – Ted and Blair. Ted Santos is an executive coach and advisor to CEOs of middle market companies. His expertise is also to transform corporate culture.
‘Straight Talk’, which will be broadcast every Sunday from 7:00pm-8:00pm, is a live show. Callers will be coached to find real time solutions to meeting women, dating, relationship challenges or problems in the workplace.
