I have been a big fan of Joe Rogan for a long time from his days on Fear Factor to his UFC commentating. I haven't heard a lot of his standup comedy but I have watched a lot of his Joe Rogan Experience videos. This one got served up to me just today and it really cracked me up. There was also another video clip where he was talking to an expert about relationships and how it is very hard to tell how many people are getting married to the wrong people because of perfumes and deodorant. I thought that was a very interesting conversation and also they say that attraction can change if a woman is on birth control or not on birth control. That makes a lot of sense. Divorce rates are around 50% as a national average and states like California are 60%. That is pretty alarming and it is funny because Joe mentioned that in someone else's standup they said,

"It is 50% of people who are the brave ones, what would the divorce rate be if all the cowards who want out would actually go through with the divorce."

That is pretty funny but sad at the same time. It would be great if everyone's marriage would go as planned but it is really hard figuring out why these marriages aren't lasting. My parents probably should have gotten divorced when I was in junior high but they were so financially bound to each other and got to a certain point they mainly just said fuck it and stayed together.

Some Potential Issues

I could see the deodorant / perfume theory being true but that would have been going on for hundreds of years. Perhaps in the past people just felt like they were more stuck in the marriage so it was an unhappy one. I look at my grandpa's generation and it seemed like people stuck together and were really happy and still loved each other for 50 or 60 years.

It is really hard to speculate but between things like sex toys and porn it could really make people need each other less on a sexual level. I also had a conversation with another individual who felt the same way about Bumble and Tinder that people are able to satisfy their need to have a social interaction with the opposite sex without meeting them. Like just talking to someone briefly without meeting could be enough to cure their loneliness. I think this is especially the case for a guy who don't have enough money or time to sort through the gold diggers and it is true for the girls who don't want to go through the process either. It just gives them that little bump to get through to the next day.

Then the other aspect of it is if something isn't going right then it is relatively easy to connect to someone else. You can just be like, "Forget you, SWIPE, SWIPE, SWIPE." It is like the best thing and the worst thing that has ever happened.

I have friends on every side of the fence. The ones who got their girlfriends pregnant and had a shotgun wedding, guys who got their girlfriends pregnant and never got married but are still with them and hate it, guys who got married and hate it, and guys who got married and seem like everything is going good and realize they are lucky in their situation. Oh yeah and I forgot the guys who I know who have no success what so ever with women and then there are the guys who are opposite and are savages out there. Whatever facet the guy's are on they often feel like the grass is always greener on the other side. It is understandable to be honest but what I'm seeing more than anything is that a lot of the stress is occurring because of financial and work place stress. If money was no issues and they were able to travel around and have fun there probably wouldn't be an issue. But when they have to go to work everyday and put up with unrewarding bullshit then it sucks.

When are we going to have our first Blockchain wedding where two people get married after meeting on Steemit?

Any way guys I probably won't get many upvotes from the ladies once they hear Joe describing us as cum factories but that is ok. We will survive to blog another day!
