The podcast host asks a female guest to name a man she considers a “10.” She replies, “Jake Gyllenhaal.”
The host then asks if she believes she is on Jake Gyllenhaal’s level, considering the things men find important. She confidently replies, “Yes.”
The host expresses surprise and then pivots to a broader question: “Why don’t average women want average men?”
The guest challenges his premise, asking, “Why do you think I’m average? In LA, I’m not a huge deal, but I’m somebody… I’m also not average looking. I’ve never been average.”
The host clarifies that even if he grants she’s “slightly above average,” rating her “like a six,” that’s not Jake Gyllenhaal’s level.
The guest retorts, “That’s not, you’re not Jake Gyllenhaal, so I only know you like five,” referencing the host’s earlier self-rating.
The host reiterates his point that the issue is when women have an “overinflated sense of how attractive they are,” causing them to “curve guys who are actually on their level.” He concludes by directly asking her, “Why do you deserve Jake Gyllenhaal?”
