Great points. I would add that, for most men, your best years for finding a partner (both in terms of your attractiveness and your emotional maturity) will be your early-to-mid 30s. Spend your earlier years studying, earning, acquiring experience, learning useful skills like cooking and planning a foreign holiday, dealing with any mental health issues you have (no matter how mild) and cleaning your room.

My father waited until his late 30s and ended up having an absurdly happy marriage, ultra-successful career, three successful/happy kids, and he's now having lots of fun in his retirement. As a man, you have the option of waiting very patiently for the right time in your life and the right woman. Use it.

I’ve been married 30yrs. My husband and I have annoyed the other into sticking around for so long by being brutally honest with one another in all things and trusting each other implicitly. He irritates me. I irritate him. He has so many foibles I could write a book. So could he. Sometimes we learn new crap about each other and sometimes we bore each other to tears. We argue and we disagree on stupid stuff. We’ve raised x6 kids and wish we were young and fit enough to raise x6 more. When he dies I won’t remarry. When I die he won’t remarry. (We’ll both go on mission most likely and annoy others!) Oh. And we agree on the big stuff. Always have.

You can have an amazing life without marriage, wife and kids.
Jordan Peterson is saying that marriage is worth considering IF you find a good partner. But a bad marriage is much, much, much worse than being single.

right before this clip, Peterson told 3 stories about growing up and falling in love with his wife. They were super sweet, and even after 48 years of marriage you can see Peterson's eyes literally light up when he talks about his wife. It was super sweet to watch.

So women will not only find me unattractive because of my asymmetrical face, they'll also think I smell like shit. Great news!

*HOW TO GET A SORTED 10/10 WIFE*
1. Save her dead father from the belly of a whale.
2. Crush the head of a snake in her yard.
3. Make sure she cleans her room.

I genuinely believe that you should find a person that makes you want to be better than you are. You find someone that you can put your hopes, dreams and faith into, and you know that no matter how shit a situation turns, they'll always have your back.

Before you find your missing piece, you need to do a lot of self-reflection and understand yourself.

Tell them the truth. Simple but brilliant.

I had always dismissed girls growing up who I thought were quite boring or weren't super smart for interesting conversation. Then I realised those girls over-think everything causing psychotic arguments and put career ahead of family.

I got hitched with a nurse who was part of a large family who wants kids like her mother. She has artistic hobbies, our house looks fucking suave and I get along with her more so than any other. She's clumsy and as a result funny but confident and puts happiness ahead of being right. Changing my approach, realising I wanted to partner a mother rather than a drinking buddy helped me a lot.

🤯 3:28 the man isn’t the boss and the woman isn’t the boss, the boss of the relationship is the combined persona that comes from seeking the truth together.... this concept is so beautiful. 😍

Myself and my first and only girlfriend of 3 years now just had one of our bigger arguments. They're very rare for us to have. No yelling, name-calling, or anything else juvenile. We just talked through our disagreements openly and honestly and we both conceded grounds. I hate having to have these conversations, but part of me loves it because it forces me to understand just how functional we are. Even in the face of disagreement, annoyance, and stupidity, we can always talk to each other and figure it out. Plus I know I won't be due for another one of these for a while now ;) I guess I'm just trying to reinforce what the professor said. I trust her and she trusts me. It's only been 3 years and we're young, but trust has served us so well that I can't imagine actually fighting with her for any reason (but I recognize we likely inevitably will). I don't know if that helps, but yeah. Good luck on your relationships, people.

Dostoevsky one said, and I paraphrase, that children recharge us spiritually. I know Peterson is a fan of that writer and I thought of that when he was talking about children and family.

To marry first and THEN start telling each other all the deep, dark, reprehensible truths, in that order, seems a horrible and absolutely suicidal idea to me...

There are two primary types of people: Those who grew up in environments where lying occurs and those who did not. If liars stick with liars, then both understand the nature of the other, and perhaps they can get along. Likewise honest people with honest people. But when liars and honest people mix, it is not sustainable.

3. Look for compatibility.
2. Build trust.
1. Be attractive.

Thank's Doc, I was having a hard time figuring that out.

Oh my, this is all I wanted to communicate to the man I loved. What a wonderful statement "have someone that you can weave the rope of your being with, together to make your joint rope stronger". Love without trust is useless. Peterson always manages to articulate the soul, I hope everyone that needs to hear this does.

You know someone is good at what they do when it takes a handful of short videos for him to completely change your world view, built up in the twenty plus years that you've been self-aware and help you realize what's really important in life. Thank you, sir, for being a substitute father to us and thank you Bite-sized philosophy for making these vital clips so accessible to us all.
