00:00:01.241 --> 00:00:03.867
Oh my god, I just totally got catfished.
00:00:03.867 --> 00:00:05.913
He looks absolutely nothing like his picture.
00:00:06.379 --> 00:00:11.029
So I found out, the guy that I've been dating is married with kids.
00:00:11.029 --> 00:00:13.173
His wife just reached out to me.
00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:16.603
Welcome to the Meat Market.
00:00:16.603 --> 00:00:20.193
The single scene is a slaughterhouse and we are here to devour it.
00:00:20.193 --> 00:00:21.161
We are your hosts.
00:00:21.161 --> 00:00:26.713
I'm Lindsay, I'm Jess and today's sizzling sexy single is Alicia.
00:00:26.713 --> 00:00:28.963
Welcome, hi, thanks for being here.
00:00:28.963 --> 00:00:37.387
Thank you, so you literally manifest your husband and create posts addressed to dear future husband?
00:00:37.387 --> 00:00:38.850
Yes, I want to hear about this.
00:00:39.110 --> 00:00:43.524
Well, I figure I'll reach a wide net, and what a better way to do it than other than the internet.
00:00:43.524 --> 00:00:51.274
You know, um, I haven't met him here locally in Arizona, so I am open to find my dream man.
00:00:51.274 --> 00:00:54.850
So I figure you know what I'm going to manifest it and put it in the universe and see what happens.
00:00:55.140 --> 00:01:00.322
Do you think your husband, do you think your future husband, is currently living somewhere else right now?
00:01:00.322 --> 00:01:03.191
Do you feel that way, like is that what your gut's telling you?
00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:10.188
You know, I don't know, but I just have a feeling that just cast that wide net, you never know where he might be.
00:01:10.268 --> 00:01:15.286
The ocean is large, so I'm ready to swim the sea smart, so have you had much response.
00:01:15.286 --> 00:01:17.650
Have you had any men responding to these posts?
00:01:17.852 --> 00:01:24.730
oh, my goodness, I cannot keep up we need to know how your DMs look right now.
00:01:25.010 --> 00:01:28.465
I had well DMs On Instagram.
00:01:28.465 --> 00:01:29.829
I had over 300.
00:01:29.829 --> 00:01:35.560
What, Not realizing that I signed up for threads that they were cross-posting on, threads?
00:01:35.560 --> 00:01:44.891
I had over 45,000 views in less than two weeks, Wow, so I have not been able to keep up with the overwhelming response.
00:01:44.891 --> 00:01:48.287
That's crazy Responses of posts from men or DMs, I should say.
00:01:48.308 --> 00:01:48.569
That's crazy.
00:01:48.569 --> 00:01:54.629
And you're let's talk about these posts a little bit, because your dear future husband posts are very um, they're.
00:01:54.629 --> 00:01:56.894
They're kind of home homemaking.
00:01:56.894 --> 00:02:04.448
You know, you're cooking dinner for your niece and you're cleaning the kitchen and you're doing all of these very, you know, trad wife things.
00:02:04.448 --> 00:02:06.784
They're very cute and they're very endearing.
00:02:06.784 --> 00:02:12.625
So are you getting a positive, are you getting positive responses and messages, Absolutely.
00:02:12.705 --> 00:02:15.640
I even have women reaching out to me Like I love what you're doing.
00:02:15.700 --> 00:02:16.723
How creative.
00:02:16.963 --> 00:02:21.221
But yeah, the men are like come cook me a meal, but I'm, that's me, that's who I am.
00:02:21.221 --> 00:02:24.848
I know it looks like I might be acting for the internet, but that's who I am.
00:02:24.848 --> 00:02:28.495
I enjoy my niece, I enjoy children, I love cooking, I love cleaning.
00:02:28.495 --> 00:02:30.844
Surprisingly, if you notice, my house is very clean.
00:02:30.865 --> 00:02:36.705
You're like every man's dream, so you have all these responses.
00:02:36.705 --> 00:02:40.133
Do you have time to go through all these men's messages?
00:02:40.580 --> 00:02:44.187
I haven't, but I try to be respectful, even if it's not somebody I'm interested in.
00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:57.514
You know, at least just responding with a thank you, maybe an emoji, but I notice that just in responding it's actually continuously creating like an active page so that people see me responding.
00:02:57.960 --> 00:03:03.846
Yeah, it's putting you in like the algorithm rewards you for that right For just responding to people.
00:03:03.846 --> 00:03:05.626
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:03:05.626 --> 00:03:09.265
Have you had anybody reach out that you're actually interested in?
00:03:09.426 --> 00:03:15.689
no, no, that's the problem, and I'm not trying to be picky, but I know what I deserve yeah, you know you're not willing to settle.
00:03:15.729 --> 00:03:16.883
That's a good thing, so what?
00:03:16.943 --> 00:03:22.504
are some of your things that you're looking for that you're not willing to settle on well somebody that has a job.
00:03:23.167 --> 00:03:36.822
They have to have a job bare minimum, right, I mean they've got to have a decent page, because some of the pages that I've like run, run across, when I've seen somebody okay, they're kind of cute I'm like, oh no, this is not somebody would want to take home with me.
00:03:36.822 --> 00:03:42.002
You know, just somebody that is adventurous even that they show their little personality on a page.
00:03:42.002 --> 00:03:49.205
I did actually have a conversation with one that was semi-interested, but he said that I was too old for him.
00:03:49.385 --> 00:03:49.645
What?
00:03:49.645 --> 00:03:51.610
Yes, oh no, you're so young.
00:03:51.631 --> 00:03:52.473
How old was this guy?
00:03:52.473 --> 00:03:56.389
We're probably about seven years apart, but you know.
00:03:56.580 --> 00:03:57.620
Him seven years younger than you.
00:03:57.719 --> 00:04:06.201
He's seven years younger than me and I'm like come on, but we matched very well as far as personalities.
00:04:06.323 --> 00:04:20.747
He's adventurous, loves to travel, likes to do things, but it just wasn't for me, I feel like seven years when you're an adult, when you're in your you know, your late 30s, your early 40s, yeah, even into your 50s like seven years really isn't that big of a difference when you're in your 20s?
00:04:20.766 --> 00:04:36.581
yeah, it's a you know it's a bigger difference because then if you're looking at sevens yeah, it's a you know it's a bigger difference because then if you're looking at seven years younger, you're getting, you know, into the, the teenage years still so it's a much bigger deal then, but I feel like as you get older seven years is is hardly anything.
00:04:36.661 --> 00:04:41.273
I mean, look at the French president his wife is like 40 years older than he is.
00:04:41.273 --> 00:04:44.149
Seriously, yeah, right, yeah, that's crazy.
00:04:44.149 --> 00:04:48.281
So you also say are you practicing celibacy?
00:04:48.281 --> 00:04:50.324
I am, so tell us about that.
00:04:50.324 --> 00:04:51.187
What started that?
00:04:51.466 --> 00:04:53.610
you know I, I realized that.
00:04:53.610 --> 00:04:56.644
You know I want to wait for the right person.
00:04:56.644 --> 00:05:00.473
No one is deserving of me than that special man that puts a ring on it.
00:05:00.473 --> 00:05:09.502
So I figure, let me just cleanse, let me just be myself, let me just be peaceful, and then give it all to my husband.
00:05:09.502 --> 00:05:10.985
I'm ready for him.
00:05:10.985 --> 00:05:12.108
Has it been hard?
00:05:12.108 --> 00:05:13.812
It's been extremely hard.
00:05:13.812 --> 00:05:15.620
How long has it been?
00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:17.002
You really want to know how many years.
00:05:17.122 --> 00:05:30.233
Yeah, it's been years, years how many gosh she's like I don't want she's like the fact that yours is plural.
00:05:30.413 --> 00:05:31.233
That's crazy.
00:05:31.233 --> 00:05:32.014
Yeah, that's some.
00:05:32.154 --> 00:05:40.391
That is some control you're gonna go to town when you find someone, whoever, whoever winds up with you, man, you know what?
00:05:40.531 --> 00:05:41.641
let me take that back.
00:05:41.641 --> 00:05:53.591
Let me correct myself on that one, because now that I think about it, it's been over about a year and a half, because I did go years and then I met somebody, okay, and then you know, sparks happened.
00:05:53.591 --> 00:05:57.189
And then he broke my heart.
00:05:58.463 --> 00:06:00.649
So I just said, I'm going to stick with it, I'm going to stick with it.
00:06:00.649 --> 00:06:06.927
And then when something like that happens, you realize, realize, like do you realize what I just?
00:06:07.168 --> 00:06:14.163
did for you exactly, you know, exactly like so you went years, yep, and then you met someone.
00:06:14.244 --> 00:06:15.548
Did it feel great to have sex again?
00:06:15.548 --> 00:06:17.375
Finally, was it absolutely?
00:06:17.454 --> 00:06:18.959
yes, absolutely.
00:06:18.959 --> 00:06:21.108
And then, of course, you know you're craving it.
00:06:21.108 --> 00:06:24.221
I'm like, okay, I just got dissed and I don't have that person anymore.
00:06:24.221 --> 00:06:24.843
So I'm like you know what?
00:06:24.843 --> 00:06:25.665
I'm just gonna hold out.
00:06:25.906 --> 00:06:26.809
I'm gonna wait, are you?
00:06:26.829 --> 00:06:35.504
waiting for marriage now, I'm waiting for a ring on it a ring on it, yeah, yeah absolutely, you meet a guy and after two days he's like will you marry me?
00:06:35.504 --> 00:06:37.769
Does that really happen these days?
00:06:39.252 --> 00:06:42.403
I feel like it doesn't, I feel like it doesn't anymore.
00:06:42.403 --> 00:06:44.947
Maybe, maybe to get into your bed.
00:06:44.947 --> 00:06:46.692
It might, but not truly.
00:06:46.692 --> 00:06:50.848
You know what I mean Not somebody that truly truly is looking for that.
00:06:50.848 --> 00:06:51.531
That's funny.
00:06:51.819 --> 00:06:54.485
So you're super smart, you have your master's degree, correct I do.
00:06:54.485 --> 00:06:55.326
What is your master's in?
00:06:55.649 --> 00:06:56.571
Healthcare innovation.
00:06:56.571 --> 00:07:02.572
So it's like a leadership slash admin type of degree.
00:07:03.141 --> 00:07:06.505
So you're super educated, you're very smart, you're very confident.
00:07:06.505 --> 00:07:08.122
I bet you intimidate a lot of men.
00:07:08.122 --> 00:07:10.088
I bet that's an issue you have right.
00:07:10.127 --> 00:07:19.742
Yeah, you know, I've spoken to men that I've dated, or just men that I know, and they're like you are super, super well put together and that is a threat to a lot of men.
00:07:19.742 --> 00:07:22.567
And I'm thinking like wouldn't men want to have a woman that's got it all?
00:07:22.567 --> 00:07:25.130
I'm not in competition, I'm building a partnership.
00:07:25.130 --> 00:07:26.913
We're going to build an empire together.
00:07:26.913 --> 00:07:29.343
Wouldn't you want a woman who has her stuff together?
00:07:29.764 --> 00:07:30.807
Because you make him look better.
00:07:30.807 --> 00:07:33.341
Absolutely it's like why wouldn't you want that?
00:07:33.540 --> 00:07:35.903
Right when it's, you know, let's be a powerhouse.
00:07:35.903 --> 00:07:39.908
Yeah, you know let's be like just a king and a queen.
00:07:41.689 --> 00:07:42.930
You're going to make some guys so happy.
00:07:42.930 --> 00:07:44.913
We're going to have so many DMs.
00:07:44.913 --> 00:07:46.033
We just got to find him.
00:07:46.033 --> 00:07:47.295
Hopefully we don't have as many.
00:07:47.334 --> 00:07:53.591
Well, I mean, hopefully we do have as many DMs as you do, but man, that's, that's a lot of work going through all those messages and stuff.
00:07:53.591 --> 00:07:54.182
That's crazy.
00:07:54.483 --> 00:07:56.872
So you said the last relationship you were in.
00:07:56.872 --> 00:07:59.500
He DM'd you but you didn't really pay attention.
00:07:59.500 --> 00:08:02.307
But then you ran into each other in public, in a grocery store or something.
00:08:02.627 --> 00:08:06.235
Yes, so that was prior to the pandemic.
00:08:06.516 --> 00:08:06.636
Okay.
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:09.648
And great, we totally hit it off.
00:08:09.648 --> 00:08:10.391
Great person.
00:08:10.391 --> 00:08:12.470
But this person could not hold a job.
00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:14.120
Could not hold a job.
00:08:14.120 --> 00:08:17.089
And then I found myself I'm embarrassed to say taking care of a man.
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:17.800
And.
00:08:17.961 --> 00:08:20.048
I'll never do that again, never.
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.266
Ain't nobody got time for that, no.
00:08:23.588 --> 00:08:23.930
No.
00:08:23.930 --> 00:08:28.382
So are you on the dating apps currently?
00:08:28.382 --> 00:08:28.622
No, I'm not.
00:08:28.622 --> 00:08:29.365
I don't have the patience for it.
00:08:29.365 --> 00:08:30.367
I want to do something different.
00:08:30.367 --> 00:08:31.088
That's why I'm here.
00:08:31.088 --> 00:08:37.370
You know, I felt like the dating apps it was recycled men, same people every time.
00:08:37.370 --> 00:08:38.211
I would you know.
00:08:38.211 --> 00:08:41.107
I would try it, but it was always the same man I'm like.
00:08:41.107 --> 00:08:42.797
Well, didn't you find somebody by now?
00:08:42.956 --> 00:09:02.649
I'm sure they probably said the same thing about me, but I couldn't even last 24 hours and it's interesting because I feel like like the scene, like the bar scene here is the same way, because every time I decide to go out somewhere, I see the same guys that we used to run into when we went out oh God, they're still there, the 10 years ago, 15 years ago.
00:09:02.710 --> 00:09:03.672
I feel like it's the same.
00:09:03.672 --> 00:09:11.466
I feel like the apps and the bar scene here they're kind of synonymous in that way, like they're a little bit the same.
00:09:11.466 --> 00:09:14.549
So have you met anybody outside of that?
00:09:14.549 --> 00:09:15.602
Like when was?
00:09:15.602 --> 00:09:16.948
Have you been on a date recently?
00:09:17.139 --> 00:09:18.741
I should say have you dated anybody recently?
00:09:18.741 --> 00:09:19.503
No, no.
00:09:19.503 --> 00:09:22.307
And I do go out, I do put myself in places.
00:09:22.307 --> 00:09:25.471
I just you know that intimidation thing.
00:09:25.471 --> 00:09:27.653
I walk in, it's like I demand the room.
00:09:27.714 --> 00:09:28.595
I see them staring.
00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:32.523
I shouldn't be the one to approach the man.
00:09:32.523 --> 00:09:37.519
You know that's a problem I feel like in today's day and age is that men aren't approaching women.
00:09:37.580 --> 00:09:38.961
They don't take initiative anymore.
00:09:38.961 --> 00:09:41.683
It's kind of a turnoff, don't you want a man to be a?
00:09:41.783 --> 00:09:43.405
man and aggressive and take initiative.
00:09:43.405 --> 00:09:44.607
Yes, Kind of yeah.
00:09:44.607 --> 00:09:45.788
I feel like Disney lied to me.
00:09:45.989 --> 00:09:48.631
Yeah, seriously Right, but.
00:09:49.373 --> 00:09:56.039
I love what you're doing on the internet, like when I'm scrolling through TikTok, I see a lot of videos of men that just have these captions I'm single, I'm 43.
00:09:56.039 --> 00:09:57.341
I'm a police officer.
00:09:57.341 --> 00:10:00.184
Do you want to date me?
00:10:00.184 --> 00:10:04.990
Millions of shares, like that's what people are starting to do, because they're so done with the app.
00:10:05.110 --> 00:10:11.222
I know thinking like outside the box absolutely yeah other ways to meet people so what are you looking for?
00:10:11.283 --> 00:10:14.269
describe your perfect partner, describe your future husband?
00:10:14.571 --> 00:10:19.149
oh gosh well got me dreaming here.
00:10:19.149 --> 00:10:25.634
Well, somebody you know, as I said, well, very, very well, put together, very structured.
00:10:25.634 --> 00:10:28.929
I'm structured, but is not afraid to let loose.
00:10:28.929 --> 00:10:30.346
I like to be silly too.
00:10:30.346 --> 00:10:31.905
I do have a big kid side to me.
00:10:31.905 --> 00:10:36.311
It's hidden, I may not show right now, but I will go and do fun things.
00:10:36.311 --> 00:10:54.828
You know somebody that just is spontaneous, yeah, someone who likes to travel, someone who likes to eat because I do love to cook, someone who is willing to sacrifice anything for a woman, and what I mean by that is just a great partnership.
00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:58.029
My parents were married almost 50 years.
00:10:58.029 --> 00:11:01.820
It was death that did my mother apart from my father, because I lost my father.
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:04.068
But my father was a good man.
00:11:04.068 --> 00:11:11.094
He's a man that loved his wife, loved his children, loved family, loved society, loved a legacy.
00:11:11.094 --> 00:11:24.352
He's just known as a great person, and when he would enter the room it was just this positive energy, a man that just comes in and just his whole aura is just strong, positive smiles.
00:11:24.352 --> 00:11:28.890
You know somebody that just you know, is very positive.
00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:32.607
Now, we all, as we get older, may have some type of baggage.
00:11:32.607 --> 00:11:33.210
I'm open.
00:11:33.210 --> 00:11:33.850
You've been married.
00:11:33.850 --> 00:11:34.482
You've been divorced.
00:11:34.482 --> 00:11:36.292
I have to deal with that at my age.
00:11:36.371 --> 00:11:36.493
No.
00:11:36.552 --> 00:11:40.625
I've never been married, I don't have any children, but you know I'm not perfect.
00:11:40.625 --> 00:11:42.006
No one's perfect.
00:11:42.006 --> 00:11:46.075
I feel like I'm flexible, but a man that doesn't have a record.
00:11:46.379 --> 00:11:47.186
And what I mean by that.
00:11:47.225 --> 00:11:58.354
I'm like not somebody that just came out of jail, or you know somebody that you know has a history of you know five different marriages and divorces, or has.
00:11:58.374 --> 00:12:01.393
Like restraining orders against them or orders of protection.
00:12:01.393 --> 00:12:03.566
You know stuff like that, because you can't change anyone.
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:05.948
You can't at this point if they've already been through all that.
00:12:05.948 --> 00:12:06.889
Yeah, you know, because you can't change anyone.
00:12:06.889 --> 00:12:08.250
You can't at this point if they've already been through all that.
00:12:08.250 --> 00:12:10.633
Yeah, so you had mentioned someone that doesn't have a job, someone that has a criminal record.
00:12:10.633 --> 00:12:12.254
Do you have any other deal breakers?
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.014
What?
00:12:13.176 --> 00:12:13.416
do you?
00:12:13.416 --> 00:12:15.321
Are you interested in dating someone with kids?
00:12:15.321 --> 00:12:16.823
Are kids a deal breaker for you?
00:12:17.446 --> 00:12:21.423
at my age I'm that's what usually what I see, so that was not a deal breaker.
00:12:21.423 --> 00:12:22.044
Do you want kids?
00:12:22.044 --> 00:12:28.664
I do not want to physically have kids, um, but I'm open to dating somebody with the with children, okay, what?
00:12:28.684 --> 00:12:28.865
about.
00:12:28.865 --> 00:12:33.763
If someone wants to like adopt kids or do a surrogate or something like that.
00:12:33.763 --> 00:12:34.245
Would you be?
00:12:34.264 --> 00:12:35.467
open, we can talk about it.
00:12:35.467 --> 00:12:40.855
Yeah, for the right person, for the right person, okay, yeah okay, I feel like you would make a really.
00:12:40.917 --> 00:12:44.928
I know people say that, because people say this to me all the time too, and I'm always like I know what it's like.
00:12:44.928 --> 00:12:47.977
But I feel like you're just your personality and your nature.
00:12:47.977 --> 00:12:49.100
I feel like you would make.
00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:51.148
You would make a really good and I love kids.
00:12:51.248 --> 00:12:52.673
Yeah, I truly enjoy them.
00:12:52.854 --> 00:12:59.610
But yeah you know I'm open, yeah, yeah and no, why didn't it work out with your last long-term relationship?
00:13:00.932 --> 00:13:02.000
this person wasn't ready.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:11.519
They weren't ready to settle down, and what I mean by that is just they, just they weren't built the right way, meaning it's almost like they weren't used to relationship.
00:13:11.519 --> 00:13:13.183
I grew up in a two-parent household.
00:13:13.183 --> 00:13:19.750
This person didn't saw their father with so many different women and just mom never committed.
00:13:19.750 --> 00:13:26.187
So I don't know if this person really understood the importance of family or commitment yeah, are you so?
00:13:26.969 --> 00:13:29.793
because you're sort of casting this wide net right with your posts.
00:13:29.793 --> 00:13:34.047
Are you married to Arizona, like, do you want to stay?
00:13:34.086 --> 00:13:36.207
here, or are you open to moving?
00:13:36.207 --> 00:13:37.664
I will hop on a plane.
00:13:37.664 --> 00:13:39.707
I will hop on the plane for the right man.
00:13:39.707 --> 00:13:40.825
I will hop on a plane.
00:13:41.159 --> 00:13:42.947
Would you permanently move for a man?
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:44.205
Yeah, actually I would.
00:13:44.264 --> 00:13:45.501
Okay, I'd come to that decision.
00:13:45.562 --> 00:13:47.527
I used to say no, I'm going to stay here.
00:13:47.607 --> 00:13:53.332
But for the right person, if it feels right, I'm willing to take that risk, and it's not like you have kids here that you need to stay here for.
00:13:53.373 --> 00:13:56.648
No, you have no baggage no, so you can jump on a plane, absolutely.
00:13:56.648 --> 00:14:08.226
And your last sort of little relationship was long distance before and it works right.
00:14:08.226 --> 00:14:08.548
It does work.
00:14:08.548 --> 00:14:09.071
It works for me, yeah, yeah.
00:14:09.071 --> 00:14:09.451
What do you find?
