Mock TED talk on dating from @thatzonaguy

The creator delivers a mock "TED Talk" presentation from his living room, using a pointer and slides on a TV. He argues that there is no difference between someone being "busy" and "not interested," stating that people will always make time for what's important to them. He specifically applies this to men dating women, advising that if a woman is consistently "busy," she is not interested, and it's time to move on to someone who will make time.

Transcript excerpt

Today we have the difference between busy and not interested. And what might shock you is that there is no difference between busy and not interested. That's because women make time for what is important to them. If a woman really wants to hang out with you, she'll go to the end of the fucking earth to make time for you guys to do things. Doesn't matter how busy it is. And this really just goes for people in general. People make time for what is important to them. So if you're talking to a woman and she's always busy or she needs to flake, guess what? She really doesn't like you that much. It's the bottom line. It's the bottom fucking line. She's always best, she don't like your ass that much. Because if she really liked you, she'll call out of work, she'll fucking move things around, she'll hang out with her friends later, She'll grab some coffee with you midday. She'll fit herself into your schedule. Women will do go to the ends of the earth for a man that they like. So don't get it confused. She ain't best, bro. You just ain't that guy. And it's time for you to move on to the next one, because you will find a woman that will make time for you. It's just not this one. So rank you
