Hello Stefan,
I've listened to you since 2014, and I want you to know that you have been one of the greatest influences in my life. Since I was young, I've always believed in objectivity, and rejected modern nihilism. It's very easy to be sucked into the moral relativity hell that so many people believe in, but your work has been such a shining light for me. Regardless of whether you read this or not, thank you so much for everything that you do.
I am a 25 year old man who is affluent, strong, intelligent, and driven. I work in the software field, and currently make well over six figures in salary. I also own my own home and drive a nice car. I'm six feet tall, a little overweight, but very visibly muscular. I cycle between different weightlifting routines, and have been doing so off and on for much of my life. I've had my IQ tested and received a 138 score. I am very driven due to how hard I am on myself to succeed.
I'm having a hard time figuring out what I really want in life, and why. I've been using dating apps to meet women for the past few months. I've gone on quite a few dates, and initially I was being very particular about the women I decided to spend time with after the first date. I've always thought that my goal was to find a good wife and mother to my future children, but now I keep second guessing myself. It's like I'm flipping between wanting a family, and wanting to have fun sleeping around with women. Recently I met two women who are causing me to question my goals.
The first woman, for the sake of the call, will be named Jill. Jill and I went on a date, and after the date, I told Jill that I don't think we'd make a good couple. Jill asked if we could still be friends and just hang out. I agreed, and invited her to my house to watch a movie and eat pizza. We ended up having sex, which was the first time I ever had sex. We then continued to meet and have sex at my house on a fairly regular basis for a few weeks. I haven't seen Jill in a week now, and I'm not sure if I want to continue my relationship with her or not because of the second woman and my reassessment of my goals.
The second woman, for the sake of the call, will be named Janet. I met Janet on a date a couple weeks into my friendship with Jill. Janet and I hit it off on our first date, and I think we've grown pretty close fairly quickly. We've been dating for a few weeks now. Janet believes I am still a virgin, and wants to wait to have sex with me until I'm sure I love her, but she does perform fellatio on me. She also has quite a few red flags that I would really like to discuss with you. My brother and I have talked about her quite a bit, and he has told me that if I stick with Janet, I will be settling for someone way below what I could have. I agree with him, but I also think that she is good enough. I'm very perplexed about her.
I believe that I have three options at this point,
Date Janet with the intention on settling down and having a family.
Continue my relationship with Jill, and seek other sexual partners like her.
Drop both of them and look for a more suitable woman.
I would like to speak to you to review the situation, figure out what I really want, and figure out why I am having such a hard time with this. I've listened to a lot of your shows and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you.
Again, thank you so much for everything you do!
Regards,

Stefan Molyneux digs into the challenges of romantic relationships, particularly how men and women interact. He pushes back against the idea that equality means being identical, pointing out that real differences shape what people can do and how they excel. Drawing from things like how siblings get along or gaps in pay, he stresses the need to appreciate what each person brings to the table. He also looks at how mismatched ways of talking can lead to confusion, and suggests embracing those differences instead of letting them cause friction. In the end, Molyneux calls for an approach to equality that respects personal traits as key to solid partnerships.
