LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Bill Maher recently addressed the dating challenges faced by young men, proposing his unique solution in a humorous TED Talk parody titled G.A.M.E.

Maher, known for his sharp wit and commentary, offered practical tips aimed at helping men navigate the complexities of dating. "Women want a man, not a Renaissance fair character," Maher quipped, urging men to "act normal" and avoid eccentric behaviors like speaking Klingon or using archaic language such as "methinks."

Bill Maher dishes sage advice for men looking to date

Inspiration for Maher's dating advice stemmed from observing a man at a Trump rally blaming President Biden for his difficulties in finding a job, home, and girlfriend. Maher swiftly debunked this notion, emphasizing that personal improvement, particularly in dating skills, was essential for men.

Highlighting a trend away from dating apps towards traditional, face-to-face interactions, Maher underscored the importance of his TED Talk premise. “I said here a few weeks ago that men need a TED talk on how to get with women, and tonight you’re going to get it.”

According to Maher, G.A.M.E. begins with "G" for "go outside, and also grooming, and Goodwill, "G is also for grow up,” he continued. “If something in your grocery cart has a cartoon character on it, put it back. You want to get laid, your freezer should be filled with vodka, not dino nuggets. If you act like an immature teen, you’re not going to attract women. You’re going to attract boy band managers.”

Maturing approach and human connection

Maher emphasized the need for men to present themselves maturely, suggesting that a freezer stocked with vodka rather than dino nuggets is more appealing to potential partners. "You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘He cleans up nice,’" he said. "Do that."

Continuing his acronym, Maher stressed the importance of "M" for "man up. You’re going to have to approach women in order for them to like you, and yes, fear of rejection does cause anxiety. But here’s an important concept many men are not aware of: women are actually people."



 

Maher added, "They’re humans just like us," he said. "In fact, we share almost 99 per cent of our DNA with women. Here’s the problem: men have no idea how to meet them anymore because that involves talking and dating through the phone has caused men’s approaching skills to atrophy."

Concluding with "E" for "eye contact. Stop looking at your phone and start looking in her eyes. If you want a bone, put down the phone."

Internet reacts to Bill Maher's advice for men

Bill Maher's dating advice elicited a spectrum of responses from users. 

One user said, "Maga Incels living in mom's basement and working part-time in fast food probably doesn't help, either."

Another user commented, "C'mon! That was aimed at all incels, not just Trump-supporting incels."

One user added, "I don't think Bill Maher was specifically targeting "Trump supporters" in that bit, but grown men who can't get dates because they dress and act like 12-year-olds."

Another user replied, "Um, sounds like he's talking to liberals. We conservatives have plenty of booze in the freeze and act like men"

One user stated, "If Trump bans abortion, and he will try, that's going to be much harder for a woman to sleep with you. But I'm sure you'll blame someone else for that, too."

Another wrote, "MAGA supporters got too used to dating their cousins, they can’t handle aiming for a stranger imagine dating someone who voted for Biden?"

Another wrote, "He's right. In spite of what the conventional mainstream social narratives, women want a man, preferably not wimp and one with muscles. And a real man is not the macho chauvinistic caricature the media portrays as a man."

One user added, "Bill has a good point, like the phone apps aren’t a proper way to hook up. In the long run women want guys that are financially stable & men want a trophy girlfriend they can show off to family & friends. "
