"age is just a number" is the worst phrase. "Speed is just a number, officer". "I'm gonna bake this at 500 because temperature is just a number". It's a number that equals the amount of years you've been alive, which is important in so many contexts. Sick of hearing that!
if age is just a number then they won't mind the amount of time they're in prison
The "age is just a number" idea suffers from the same problem that all absolute statements do. Its an oversimplification and generalization. If you pay attention people do that a LOT in day to day life, its really depressing, especially in this context because its not exactly a very nuanced scenario...
Age is just a number, and prison is just a room.
Age is just a number is only acceptable when said by old people who mean it as a joke
@@m310grass Yeah. That. You can say that when you are older and want to express you still feel young. In almost any other case its just problematic.
The second story is wild. I think one of the biggest problems is that the OP didn’t consent to dating/sleeping with an 18-year-old. Not only did she lie to him about her age, she did it to trick him into doing things he otherwise wouldn’t have. Who would want to raise a kid with someone like that? Shit like that makes me mad.
I do agree that the pregnancy part is partially his responsibility, but it probably wouldn’t have happened in the first place had she been honest. He couldn’t give informed consent because he wasn’t informed.
Oh please. "She acted mature for her age." Tell me another one. Those couldn't have been the only clues that he was dealing with a teenager, and I find it pretty convenient that in his re-telling, she's juuuuust legal. I'll bet you a shiny dime she was underage, and that's why he's saying he wouldn't have dated her if he had known.
We also don’t know if she told him she was on birth control
@@carbine090909Tf are you on about people can look wildly different from their supposed ages. If she said so and didn’t look like a high-schooler, I’d assume youth beauty treatments advanced a lot and believe it.
@@crix_h3eadshotgg992 "youth beauty treatments?" ... For a teenager.... Riiiiight.
@@carbine090909 Nah, old friends of my mom would tell me stories how adults used to think she was 17-20 because of how she looked and acted, when in reality she was 14-16. People can definitely look and act older.
Recently found you, and I’m incredibly disappointed that there isn’t a huge back catalog of 300 Aita videos for me to binge.
Go watch the skits, I was just in the middle of a skit binge when this video dropped! They're devastatingly good, my face hurts from laughing
Bro, you’ve got to check out his comedy main channel!

What a perfect time for an ad break to a Ryan Reynolds mint mobile commercial😅
I had the exact same experience! I watched every single episode, then looked for the next one - it didn't exist! This was a few weeks ago, so it was even more painful. Because there were even fewer then.
Me too!!! I watch the other channel, but I really love these longer solo videos.
that man was blaming the woman for getting killed by her husband. fully.
Fr. It's this dumb misogynist thing where men would blame the wife for doing something to anger the husband and not hold the husband (a grown human being who should be emotionally mature) accountable for his actions. It's just an extension of men thinking that women should just serve their husbands
@@forgottenmachine806 lol my screenreader pronounced "Fr." as "Father".
Reminds me of that Bill Burr joke about Chris Brown and Rihanna
that’s what i was thinking. i was also thinking he had the same feelings. like to not feel empathy for the women and to than throw something at his gf. he’s definitely in the same boat as that man.
Right? There's a way to say "lets see what happened but if it is what it seems like it's horrific." That husband holds great resentment towards his "nagging" wife. He threw that bag because he hated that once again his wife tells him to do chores and he's sick of hearing it. If a remark like that makes him throw stuff, he'll keep building resentment and explode in the future.
Husbands like that don't decide to leave. They only want their current wife to do what they're supposed to. If they don't, increasingly worse things happen. I'm glad OP decided to follow through this time. I hope his tricks won't work to get her back and she truly moves on. Living somewhere else will make her notice just how much less work she has evvery day and how easy it is to breathe at home. Very scary situation. Her boss's murder at least will have a silver linig.
IQ is a pretty famously bad way to measure intelligence. "Intelligence" itself is something really hard to define, plus making any test that is comparable across all the world's languages and cultures has its own issues.
Oh yeah the point: A low IQ test score is not something to feel heartbreak over. If you're good at doing something then you're smart in that way, regardless of what some test says.
There are somethings it does indicate wich is speed to identify a pattern and apply it, still you point stands.
plus it's ableist as hell and frequently has been used to treat disabled people as subhuman
Can confirm, I have a high IQ score and I'm not intelligent in a conventional way
That’s what I don’t get about IQ. I have an high IQ and I feel stupid 90% of the time I feel like it doesn’t matter at all
Missed opportunity to say "Are you dealing the with the consequences of her deception or dealing with the consequences of the conception?"
Underrated comment
Definitely an IQ higher than 80 over here!
Okay, that's pretty good ngl.
Oh my gosh, I was thinking the same thing!!! 😂❤😂❤
Or maybe the consequences of no contraception?
We know she's 18 now. How old was she at the start of the relationship? I'm wondering if she was a minor at the start and that is the reason he feels so betrayed by the age thing. If so, I can understand why he would be hesitant to state it flat out. No one wants to be labeled a pervert.
I’m 12 and I used to have a friend who lied about being 18 so they could date someone online who was 18. I immediately stopped being their friend and told the person that they were dating who broke up with them right away. It’s surprising how many people will lie about their age to date someone and not care about getting that person in trouble
He did say they had only talked for a few months so it's possible it happened after she was 18.
@@bettygrof. That was the right move, and I know it seems like you’d be a snitch to do this, but you should tell their parents if you can- I know you might feel like she can make her own decisions but this is a bad one and her parents can help protect her from getting hurt
Yeah but just in general, maybe he would have been okay with taking responsibility and coparenting with her but finding out that she lied to him makes him understandably feel betrayed. A coparenting relationship is still a relationship, and just like how someone would feel bad working with someone who lied to them or being friends with someone who lied to them, I get why he would feel bad about having to be forever connected to someone who lied to him
He’s probably more concerned about the fact that their relationship is built on a lie. Which isn’t a good thing to base a relationship on. I just think his worries are more subconscious and that he’s just focused in on the age thing because it’s obvious
I feel like the guy is justified in connecting her deception to the pregnancy. He says if he knew her age, he wouldn't have pursued a relationship with her. He's probably also hurt that she deliberately lied to him so he would sleep with her, which is hard to just get over.
Yeah, and the fact she said "age is just a number, we love each other" instead of acknowledging her wrongs and how it hurt him. She's too young, and manipulative, and it's worrying. He may have to take care of his kid, but he does not need to stay in a relationship with her.
Yeah, exactly this
She actively denied his feelings about it, and I’ll be honest, imo 18 and 27 is a weird age gap. OP was definitely not in the wrong
@@lesouth0348 ya she's going to leave/cheat on him as she "feels trapped" or never got to live out her "golden years" like its not her fault she baby trapped a man much older then her
If she was lying to get in to the relationship it makes sense that she might make try to trap him with baby.
vid hasn’t loaded but if there is a surprise microphone i swear

There was…
How did you know😱😱

I'd be surprised at your clairvoyance, but years of SURPRISE MICROPHONES have taught me to never be surprised
Me and my husband have been happily together for a very long time. He knows I read fanfiction smut with fictional characters.
He doesn't get all aggressive or angry that i'm reading all that. The only thing he asks is, is it something that I would like him to do?
Helps spicy up our love life.
We're on different wavelengths for libido and sometimes he isn't around. But he also knows that they are fictional characters and he doesn't have to worry about me leaving him for them.
Good thing your husband is normal. It’s crazy how insecure some men can be to get so upset over someone who doesn’t even exist
Same with my husband. Sometimes he lets me rant about the plots to books and fanfics to him.
as a fellow fanfiction reader and writer i would like to add that sometimes it's just about the fantasy, that's why imaginative genres like abo are so popular
@@SamIAmWich Ranting about the plots is awesome

I mean Boo does call Sully "kitty" and Na'vis are kinda catlike.
And not Mike Wazowski! Talk about lack of taste.
The absolute IRONY of lying about her age and then claiming “age is just a number” and “it doesn’t matter.”
If it didn’t matter, then why would she lie?
Because that was not the thing that mattered. Playing with words, you see that on *redacted* often. I was gonna say "sociopaths" but then that would mean most womens i met are those. It can simply be a emotional misunderstanding but it is deep, if I could read a womens mind, I think I might go into a shock and pass on.😅
I had a friend who's distant cousin died at the hands of her ex, and when my friend cried about it to her (toxic) partner, he reacted mostly like in the last post: "we don't know what she did to anger him so much, let's not judge him." So my friend, chocked, asked him "would you kill me?" And I swear, she says he paused and replied: "in what context?"
She was so upset, she called me crying from her bedroom and finally accepted it when I said she needed to break things up. She moved to another city, he doesn't seem to be looking for her so, everything's good now.
I swear, men can be terrifying.
The fact that there's a specific word for women dying by the hand of their man breaks my heart. It happens so much, it's terrifying:(
@@jonnnnniej right? Statistics are so overwhelmingly obvious about the violence men perpetuate, and we still get "grumblnotallmen." I KNOW but those who do, are mostly men. They have to check themselves and educate themselves before they criticise women for protecting themselves.
@jonnnnniej Theres also a specific word for sticking things up your peehole but that doesn't make in profound.
I mean, I might break a MF too, but the context would have to be pretty severe. Like "you fucked with my sister" severe. Everyone has a limit. We're all monsters after some limit. I've just decided that my limit will be somewhere reasonable.
This can also happen with Women in the case you stated. But still, absolutely horrifying.
Nobody deserves to be murdered/killed, or even abused in any sort of way.
Nah, but IQ tests are stupid AF. My mother got tested as a teen and got a similar IQ, she got mad at that and went on to be the top of her class, get high distinctions in uni studying Psychology, then did a masters in a Foreign Language (Irish Gaeilge).
All this with 2 kids on her own and dealing with the death of the man she loved dearly.
So the person upset about their IQ shouldn't put too much stock in it.
Your mom sounds badass

I agree and I'm great at IQ tests, but even taking tests in general is a skill that not everyone has.
Same with interviewing for jobs which I'm bad at, it's good to get better at that if you're job searching but often being good at interviewing has little to do with the actual job skills required.
That’s because people think intelligence means having knowledge, or only pattern recognition. The IQ tests are more than just your pattern recognition, they also tests your working memory, logical thinking, and retelling of information. When I did mine, I did more tasks than just matching a bunch of figures with each other. The most memorable test I had was that they wanted me to repeat numbers the evaluator said in different ways. So they would say 6 numbers and then tell me to retell them in opposite order, rank them from highest to lowest etc. These sort of tests also require you to be at your physical and mentally best, because if you’re not that will affect your results. Because at the end of the day, the IQ measures someone’s ability to gain, process, retain and retell information and knowledge and how fast they can do it. A person with high IQ will have an easier time doing that, but that doesn’t mean someone who has average or even under average can’t. It’s just somewhat easier for the person with high IQ.
Some IQ tests can be bad, or incompatible with certain people. What your mother got at that time is probably not her actual IQ.
I took an IQ test online and spent like 30 minutes on it only to get a message at the end that I should pay a fee in order to see my result. What a waste of time, I feel like IQ 0 right now
When I was taking my first (and only) IQ test, and that "pay a fee" screen came up, it's like my brain woke up. I remember just sitting and asking myself, "what am I doing?"
All power to folks that benefit from the IQ results they see, but I'm kinda glad I didn't go through with it. I had to come to the realization that even if IQ tests can legitimately measure a sort of intelligence, I was taking the test as an end-all-be-all, and so my result probably would never have felt good enough. I don't even want to know how limiting that number feels.
@@meifennellysieu7510 I agree!
I mean they do the same for sats unfortunately
@@meifennellysieu7510 I benefited from the test, but only because of the "strengths and weaknesses" part that the evaluating psych mentioned. Namely, the test givers noted that my ability to generate words off the top of my head was like 30 IQ points lower than everything else, which is pretty significant and good to know. But the final number they gave me doesn't tell me much. I already knew how well I did in school, I don't need another number to quantify that. And I can use my IQ results to explain my verbal weakness without even mentioning that final number, because it doesn't really matter.
"We don't know what made him do that."
Um...run fast, run far girl!!
The 18 yr old pregnancy one, I gotta side with the guy on this. Him being deceived is a huge part of it. If he knew her age he probably won't have slept with her and there would be no pregnancy. Is how I see it.
She was wrong obviously but also he has a responsibility as a father; don't sleep with someone if you don't want to become a parent.
I mean, is not difficult to use a condom to prevent a pregnancy 💁🏻♀️ , I started having sex with my bf at 19 since we met at that age, I'm 26 now with no kids, is not that difficult to be sexually responsible 👀, we were both responsible with each other
@@sarahberknerBut he did want to be a parent, just not with an 18 year old. He was told she was 22 so he was okay with it, but he wouldn’t have been if she was honest
@@MonsieurMoai Plus there is the point of trust. He probably was fine to be a parent with someone he trusted. Only to then find out that the entire relationship, from the very start, was based on a lie. To me it's not really about the age itself but rather the fact that she lied to him for their entire relationship. And the reason was that "she was scared he wouldn't want her if she was honest", which means that he basically can't trust anything she says in the future because he can never know if it's true or if she is just lieing to him because she decided that he doesn't want to know the truth.
Finding out that from the very beginning your entire relationship was a lie could definitely make one second guess if they really want to have a child with that person.
@@Framokamc No form of birth control is 100% effective. Many people still get pregnant despite being as responsible as they can be with regards to contraception.
Unplanned pregnancies are not solely the result of irresponsibility.
You have numbed me to your surprise microphones little man. You cannot hurt me any more. I was watching your right hand, knowing that I hadn't actually seen it in frame yet since you stopped playing your little piano. I AM INVINCIBLE!
IQ was originally invented to test children in academic acuity, I believe, I could be wrong, but academic adeptness is not all encompassing of intelligence. Education/knowledge/ability to learn doesn't encompass all intelligence. Probably...
Iq is terribly flawed and ultimately is used by people to flex on others. No point in putting weight on it.
Well, no it was invented to try to prove that immigrants aren't as smart as the citizens. It instead showed there was no difference between nationalities. So they demanded the test be altered to get the results they wanted. Including no longer translating the questions to the language of the test taker. Came upon this information while researching a paper on how Ellis Island dealt with illnesses like typhoid.
Also, it was used to support eugenics and social darwinism and is biased against underprivileged/minority groups.
And yeah. Taking a test on memorizable, objective information does not take into account the different types of intelligence (social, emotional, etc.)

It measures one thing, how fast you can learn something and apply it, it does mean that if it is to low teaching you something will be very dificult, however once you learn it it doesnt matter
@@vertx6186 and most people dont need to learn something and apply it withon a few seconds. People with low IQs can still do most jobs and pursue most hobbies, they just need more time and effort to get the hang of it but once they get the hang of it then they can do it just as well as most other people can. I would never recommend getting an IQ test because it will likely only ever make one feel insecure and limited, stopping them from pursuing things because they think they aresnt smart enough to. But if someone does take one and is sad by the results, they should keep in mind what the results actually mean. They arentdumb, just need a little more time and effort to catch on to some thing.
Starting a relationship based on a lie is a doomed relationship.
not always, but yes, it is good to state that out, too many relationships start in complete fabricated realities
@@San-lh8us in which situations is it a good idea to start off with a lie?
@@elin_ my ex girlfriend started talking to me after she faked liking about RPG's, we went on a campaign, and then started talking and eventually started dating, some time later she admitted to me that she did not have ANY interest on RPG's and in fact thought it was one of the most boring things she did, she just wanted to spend time with me, because much like me she was very introverted, but that regardless made so that we started talking more and got to know each other, sure, telling the truth from the start wouldn't have hurt at all, but neither did this lie. Again, i'm not saying people should just lie in relationships, all i'm saying is that it's not ALWAYS bad, just most of the time
@@San-lh8us I don't know what RPG is, but it doesn't sound like something that is super vital

Age is not just a number, IQ is
Some studies show that people around 30 IQ points apart either can't get along, or would have a hard time doing so.
No. Both IS a number With meaning. Wether you are 15 or 25 makes a difference, Wether your IQ of 100 or 130 makes a difference
Throwing things at someone is abuse. Being physically aggressive in any way when angry is a sign of abuse. Sheesh people are crazy.
My ex used to do that. Scary as hell. He justified it by saying “I didn’t AIM it at you, I just threw it TOWARDS you.” Unsaid : While raging that the baby was crying - while I was holding and comforting the baby.
I would also feel betrayed if I found out that my partner was much younger than they said they were. 27 and 22 is already a pretty big age gap in you take into consideration how young the younger person in the relationship is, and where they are mentally; so to find out that a 5 year age gap actually was a 9 year age gap would be rough. An 18 year old, although a legal adult, is still basically a child, and I (as a 24 year old) would not be comfortable dating someone who just graduated high school (ever more so if I was 27). I would feel nauseous from the thought that I was attracted to someone so much younger than I am, because although she was the one who lied, I would feel like I was unintentionally predatory towards her. It's likely he feels similar since he even states that he would've been hesitant to get involved with her in the first place if he knew her actual age. Also, do we know if she's been 18 the entire time they dated, because if she hadn't turned 18 yet by the time they started dating, she, legally speaking, wouldn't have been able to give consent in the beginning of their relationship, which just brings up a bunch of other issues. On top of that: a relationship built on a lie isn't a stable relationship. Do we know if she's been lying about other things too? I don't doubt that the baby is his, but if she's been lying about her age it's likely she's been lying about other things; so now his irresponsible actions (of getting her pregnant) has tied him, for life (even if they don't actually stay together) to someone he can't even be sure he knows.
Dude fucked up, but she did something fucked up.
And that's why he should have checked her ID at some point. If she claimed she didn't have one, that would be a red flag. Everyone basically needs an ID by 21, to drive or drink.
IQ of 70 is not "needing somebody around". Under 85 is considered intellectual disabilities, if I remember correctly 70-85 is mild, 55-70 is moderate, under 55 is severe. Severe is usually needing somebody around, moderate is typically needing an assistant occasionally and mild is typically "can live by themselves, but might need occasional help, or no help at all". Also people with mild often have jobs, albeit simple. So it's a range, and also specific from case to case, but these are general guidelines
Thanks for sharing.
Things IQ testing is affected by: language barriers and assimilation to the local culture, mood, sleep, whether you have studied or not, neurodivergence, and breakfast. They tested it. If you don't have breakfast, your IQ is lower. IQ measures... something, but you can really get numbers out of anywhere if you want to. I could divide the number of cats in Amsterdam by the distance to the moon, but that doesn't make the cat/moon quotient important (it's an exaggerated and silly example to make a point). The history of IQ testing started as a helpful tool for elementary teachers, but then got picked up by movements such as Jim Crow, eugenics, and fascism for far less wholesome purpose. The idea of general intelligence as it is today is very shaky on the science.
Thank you for mentioning neurodivergency! I had my IQ measured as a piece of my ADHD diagnosis and I was so anxious and concerned about being watched and monitored that the pressure of time and visibility impacted my ability to concentrate and it resulted in me getting a score that was probably a bit lower than is "accurate" to my actual brain and I obsessed over it for months.
I think there's a few bad takes in here;
He's upset about the pregnancy too, but he's dealing with the trauma of having "interactions" with someone far younger than he was originally comfortable with.
The lady with the divorce paper and chips bag, she already had the papers filed so this likely isn't like a single bad joke or anything
If she’s fine with him watching a little porn, he needs to be fine with her reading smut, as it’s how a lot of women get their “porn” fix.
If she forbid him from watching porn, but she read smut, that would be a double standard and not ok. But she’s not doing that, so there’s nothing wrong with the situation.
Obviously the big issue is the violence and the way he reacted. I don’t understand men who get violent instead of having civil conversations. I’ve been with my significant other for almost 2 years and we haven’t had a single fight, no raised voices or physicality.
Off topic but porn should have no place in any relationship… if you can’t feel pleasure by your partner you shouldn’t be with them. It’s kinda like a gateway to cheating
@@RemingtonScott-rp8se It really isn't though. If a partner is gonna cheat they will do so regardless of whether they watch/read porn or not.
@@RemingtonScott-rp8se What makes you think those are mutually exclusive? If you *need* to watch porn in order to be intimate or to avoid being intimate than yes but that is a different issue.
@@RemingtonScott-rp8se There's very valid reasons to be against porn in relationships. But it's not a gateway to cheating. There's a clear separation of living a thing or watching it in a movie. Same reason shooting games aren't a gateway to committing violence!
@@RemingtonScott-rp8se Porn is corny but it is absolutely not a gateway to cheating.
I don't think you understand the pregnancy situation, going drinking together is far from the only thing her age changes. Normally if something like this is revealed to you you are obligated to end things romantically because of the huge age difference, but here he also now has an obligation to her because she's pregnant. That's why this is so tricky and why he's so focused on the age part
I think the drinking thing was a set up for his joke that they can't drink together anyway cos she is pregnant.
Obviously it was wrong that she lied, but my grandparents are 20 years apart so I don't necessarily think 9 years apart is awful, and she's an adult.
It does scare me how underage girls will brag about dating older guys, and they're not being forced or manipulated into it, they're being stupid. And him getting her pregnant is a mistake by both of them, a very common mistake at least in the U.S. I agree with Daniel that he should take that seriously.
I think both you and @sarahberkner don't understand the real issue here. I also don't think that 6 years of a difference are a big deal and he is definitely not obligated to break up with her because of the age difference. As long as both of them are adults, it doesn't matter. The issue here is not that she is 18, the issue here is that he found out that the entire relationship was founded on a lie. He simply can't trust anything she says ever again, because instead of owning up to her mistake, her excuse was just "Well I thought you wouldn't hook with me if I didn't lie".
So if he doesn't break up with her he'll basically never be able to tell if she is telling the truth or just lieing to get what she wants. And THAT is a huge red flag regardless of age.

I was part of a longitudinal study where I had to take IQ tests yearly from third grade to graduation. From year to year, I would score plus or minus 20 points, and subjectively I would say the greatest influencing factor was whether or not I was infatuated with a girl at the time.
9:45 “They’re amongst us! Out there, walkin’ in the malls” killed me
I read this at the exact moment he said that lol 😂
See, the 18 year old's age does matter because 1) You should always be honest about age regardless of whether or not a specific age gap is ethical, because someone might not be comfortable with dating someone that's way younger or older than them, And 2) the human brain doesn’t fully mature until it reaches 25. Regardless of how mature she is now, she is not at the same maturity that he is, and he is clearly uncomfortable with the implications of being close to his thirties and dating someone who still classifies as a teenager that just recently became a legal adult
Also, as for the shitty gusband with the bag if chips story, his response has literally NOTHING to do with men not knowing how to emotion apparently. He said "We don't know what made him do that." He was trying to EXCUSE murder.

I hate the concept of IQ. I have a very abstract intelligence, so I score very high on IQ tests. For years, people have used this stupid number to ignore my learning disabilities, because I couldn't possibly be struggling with such a high IQ. I struggled alone for DECADES because I didn't score low enough despite being literally disabled.
That is not an issue with the concept of IQ but an issue with how the people around you used it. IQ measurements are a tool. And like any tool they can be used badly. If you ask me to help you get out a screw, I come with a hammer, hit the screw a few times, and then leave with the screw even deeper in, you wouldn't hate the concept of hammers. You would hate me for being a moron. It's the same thing here. Don't hate the concept of IQ, hate the morons who didn't understand what the heck that even means.

They often get confused, but that's the difference between intelligence and wisdom. Wisdom is knowledge, the amount of information you know and can use, intelligence is how well you can absorb and connect new information. That's why IQ tests are a lot of pattern recognition related things, they're not testing how much you know, but your ability to acquire new information, recognize patterns, and integrate it into what you know. Building a shelf and starting a fire take having been taught, it takes wisdom and knowledge, but recognizing patterns takes intelligence.
I love this. I just passed the year mark of a toxic and abusive marriage myself recently, and this video was 100% what I needed. I'm so grateful for the last post and the support that you showed through it, Daniel, thank you. I can only hope to continue forward just the same way I really hope that original poster had.

Especially since the example he referenced was literally just one guy. That's not a study because one person doesn't even count as a sample lol
But it does show that the test isn't that reliable/consistent which was the point.
Meanwhile my husband is like "I know you need things more often than me. Have some hot husbandos who don't have IBS to fantasize about"

What does this mean
@@crix_h3eadshotgg992 Basically, her husband said "I know you're horny more often than me because I have stomach issues, so I don't mind if you look at porn online to get the fix I can't give you". Which is valid.

I have some qualms about your comments on setting aside your dreams if you have a child - absolutely false. Will things be different? Yes. Will it be difficult? Most likely, yeah. But you can still complete your goals and accomplish things with a baby. There are so many successful people with kids that never stopped them. Still love the videos, just wanted to put that out there.
I think when the husband said “we don’t know what made him do that to her” it wasn’t like oh maybe the guy had a problem, but more like we don’t know if she did something to deserve it. At least that’s the vibe I got. Gross
That was obvious, not a "vibe you got."
@@jijitters I was just trying to hedge my statement so it didn't seem like I was judging Daniel for having a different interpretation. it didn't seem obvious to him when he said "maybe that guy has a problem." But I'm glad to hear you read it the same way I did! Thanks.
For all we know he found her in their bed with another man and just started blasting. The husband doesn't know the actual circumstances and doesn't want to judge right away.

The *SURPRISE MICROPHONE* has got to be my favorite running joke from daniel lol
The husband jealous of Jake Sully has serious problems.
My husband and I got Baldur's Gate 3 on each of our computers. We sit about 5 feet from each other while playing. We get flirty with the fictional characters and then mutually joke around that "Our affairs are in Baldur's Gate"
He has cried over Karlach and I have cried over Astarion
We are very aware IT'S FICTION!!
I have a list of wives (fictional characters im obsessed with) and my girlfriend asked me where she ranked. I sheepishly let her know... rank 47.. and she just burst out laughing and calls herself agent 47 in public to embarrass me, sometimes jokingly saying she got booted down to 48 if we pass trashcans and the like. I can't for the life of me understand how someone can be so insecure that blue monkey man ruins your life. Insanity!
You're obsessed with *46* characters? And you like them all more than your own wife? 😬
@@cryptiddy You clearly need to work better on your reading comprehension... lol
@@Anathematise I don't think they have any issues with comprehension. That's exactly what they said.
You literally told your gf she ranked 47th. By definition that means you like 46 characters more than a real person. If you were joking, you should have said so, but if not, you do kind of seem like a loser. I wouldn't want to date someone who admitted they liked 46 fictional characters more than me, and it's not because of ~insecurity~ it's because it's weird to care about or like fictional characters more than your partner. You seem like exactly the type of guy who's about to get sucked into the world of virtual AI women and never interact with real ones again, or start mistreating the ones you do.
what do you mean if not what @cryptiddy said?? I'm confused
That "eat a little fish for daddy" interlude is legit the reason I thought for a second that it was Daniel Thrasher and not Timothée Chalamet who was cast as Wonka in Wonka...

Omega 3 supplements/fish oil makes you burp and it tastes and smells baaad, so take it right along your meals if you do!! If you try eating something after you're already burping fish oil, it's only gonna mix the taste in your mouth and you'll regret it!

Having a kid with someone with 4 more years of life experience in their belt does matter when its comes to young adults, the guy imo is unable to rely on the girl now he knows shes much younger which adds to more of his fears
IQ tests are a mostly about memory and recognizing patterns. I got tested (as part of a seizure study, it was meant to increase stress and maybe induce a seizure) and I got 126. That was in my mid 20's. I now have so many years of seizures and neuro issues that I'm positive that if I took the test today (I'm 33) I would get less than 100. It's not really about intelligence, it's about test taking skills. I probably only did well because during the study they deprive you of sleep for 48 hours at a time, so I didn't think hard about a single answer and just did gut decisions. I think our brains recognize patterns better than we do when we focus on it.

Why is everyone so hung up on the pregnancy part?
Not once did he say he wasn't going to be a father or that he didn't want a child, he mentioned it because the pregnancy means he cannot just cut ties with her which implies he isn't planning on abandoning the child.
I can 100% see why he would be okay with having a child with a 22 year old and not a 18 year old, let alone one that lied to him.

Standard IQ tests are a very old metrics (I believe from the 50s) and measure mostly language/math skills, i.e. stuff you need for school. There's more recent models which have 7 types of intelligence, including social, emotional, physical, musical etc. There's also the concept of fluid intelligence which ties into it. Basically that some intelligence is crystallised (unchangeable) and some is fluid (can be used for whatever purpose you use it for, or skill you're building). Think of it as potential. For example, if you start learning a new language, you're using that fluid intelligence, or you can decide to use for let's say learning how to ski. It's really fascinating, I recommend checking it out. (Worked as a speech and language therapist and dealt with IQ tests all the time, particularly for kids with various syndromes, intellectual disabilities etc.)
TLDR: intelligence is a profile of multiple skills and you get better at the ones in which you invest time developing.
The mention of Brainiac triggered so much childhood memories, wow. I hadn't thought about that show in so long.

I love your cohesive randomness. 😂😂😂
(Honestly not sure if that’s a thing but you just made it one so…)
I took Psych last year and IQ tests can even have class or location biases. Therefore they’re basically pseudoscience.
I am REALLY bad at comforting or consoling someone, but if my wife told me a story about someone she knows and sees regularly being literally MURDERED, I'd at least throw a "that's terrible!" or "that really sucks, are you okay?" out there at the very least. Like holy shit at least CARE a LITTLE.
At the beginning of the video when Daniel mentioned the guy who took an IQ test I proceeded to go onto the internet and spend 15 minutes answering a bunch of questions only to find out I'd have to pay to see my results. 🙄😂
as soon as the "he threw a bag of chips at me" phrase was read, i got an ad that went GOLD FISH. AND CHIPS. AS ONE. (i thought it was beautiful and needed to be shared)
Everybody, get this straight. You should NEVER, and I mean NEVER, have to ‘parent’ your SO. He or she should KNOW to respect you. If he/she doesn’t ALREADY treat you right, they have bad parents. Remember, marriage not only ties you to that person, but also ties you to the family. If your man (or woman) treats you right, he/she was raised right.
I'm not sure I agree with the last part... some of the most beautiful people I know come from broken households. Ofcourse there are people who grew up to be just as terrible as their parents. But it's a common trauma response to become extra caring in the hope it fixes things. I also know some serious a-holes who had great parents but are just bad people. Ofcourse how you're raised heavily impacts how you'll grow up, but it isn't that black and white
@@jonnnnniej maybe not black and white, but that white mixed with black, can cause grey. If you know what I mean.
I don't agree, because my dad has been a great influence on my mom and she even admits that and jokes that she would be on a park bench somewhere if she wasn't married to him. He's the more responsible one, and she's gotten better over the years, but she is more friendly so they balance each other out.
And a relationship takes work, no I don't think you automatically know how to act in a marriage but you figure it out. And if you want someone to treat you differently, the mature thing is to tell them directly, preferably before you get married.
@@sarahberkner I meant on a relative scale. Like say a dude treats you like his servant. That’s not right now is it?

IQ tests are not a single metric that is used to determine intelligence. We triangulate the results of an IQ test with achievement as well as other tests. We wouldn't take a single result and run with it.
I fully failed a Rorschach test when I was 5, they asked me what I saw and I said 'ink' and could not change my mind, I literally just saw inkblots. I went on to get a PhD, so I wouldn't be too bothered by test results if I was him. Also, why were they giving me a test that's designed to test for psycopathy, as an entrance requirement for a preschool? I will never know
hold on what the fuck this is weird. i LITERALLY just took an iq test and this gets recommended to me

18:03 I told my bf that I failed my drivers test last week 😅 I was a sobbing mess and as soon as he got off work he drove 40 minutes, he immediately hugged me as I cried like a baby we got sushi since i hadn’t eaten all day (when I’m extremely nervous I don’t eat because of nausea.) we went to my house played Roblox, Mario party, cuddled and ate. There was no pressure for s3x or anything. What lots of guys don’t realize is that a silent hug, a little snack and their presence is enough. As long as u put in a little effort and not make it about you, it’ll be ok
I binge watched a bunch of these because I was bored during a slow day at work. One thing I like is that Daniel generally tries his best to give everyone the benefit of the doubt and tries to give the best possible reading of events for each person in each story.
Two letters. Two letters, G and F, would have helped OP's title so so much. Phrasing!

Bot stole your comment
I also think that things said in the "heat of the moment" have some truth to them.
There are so many people that belt out slurs, or hurtful remarks, or intense vitriol during arguments. And there's no way you can convince me that those weren't thoughts you had, previously. Being angry and "in the moment" is a lot like being drunk in some cases; your inhibitions are lowered. Even if it's "I was hurt/stressed/whatever and wanted to hurt you" they had that response *ready* , which is very telling.
DANIEL WE ABSOLUTELY NEED FULL VERSIONS OF UR SONGS OR AT LEAST ANOTHER MICRO-SONG COMPILATION CUZ I NEED A FULL VERSION OF THE FISH OIL SONG 😂

6:02 too be honest, of course the dude has a right to be mad for being lied to about his gfs age but it seems a little bit like he is trying to find excuses as to why he doesn’t have to stay in the relationship.
Pro tip: Recent studies have found that fish oil is not good for everyone to take. For many years, physicians recommended fish oil for folks with high cholesterol and other heart disease risks due to its apparent protective qualities. However, recently fish oil supplementation has actually been linked to an increased risk for atrial fibrillation in folks who are already at risk for that (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, high cholesterol). The change in heart rhythm can trigger a heart attack or stroke and is definitely a concern, which is why now doctors have changed their recommendation for people with these conditions. Based on that info, you should probably just stick to eating a few servings of healthy fish per week without taking any other omega 3 supplements.
Iq is a bad measurement. It only measures a certain type of intelligence. The amount of people on reddit who think they're above average is mind-boggling though xD
IQ is a normalised bell curve. Average sits at 100 because the test is built so most people will sit at 100.
