But, when you look down at people and you're insulting them,

usually the entire time.

Do you lose faith in humanity?

>> You know, I think that as you get older,

you realize that there are very few really important things.

Your health, family's health, the world around you.

And when people fight over minutia, and ruin their lives, a period of their lives

fighting over whether or not a button came back wrong on the shirt, or whether

somebody stole your mother's tea service when she was moving from her apartment.

And that, takes control of your life.

I think it's a ridiculous mistake.

I also think women make a terrible mistake because they usually are so

desperate to nest, that they pick on schlubs and worthless

pieces of trash that they pick up in a bar >> Okay [LAUGH]

>> And then turn around,

give them the keys of their car, invite them to move in,

give them a credit card and they're surprised one day when their car is gone,

their credit card is maxed and they're alone.

And they seem to replicate that behavior again and again.

And so that frustrates me.

>> Yeah. >> It especially frustrates me when

women are taken advantage of which as you see, happens more often than not.

>> Yeah, that's why I don't date men.

>> [APPLAUSE] >> So that's the whole reason.

>> [APPLAUSE] >> Just for that.

>> [APPLAUSE] >> So,

I wish that that would seep in though, because you seem to be, and

thank goodness, cuz you have a show 20 years running because of these

people making the same mistakes over and over and over again.

>> That's true. >> But I mean,

it is frustrating when you see women being taken advantage of,

cuz you would think that, cuz your show's very popular, it would kinda stop.

Women wouldn't be so desperate, and wouldn't let those schlubs,

as you call them, into their lives and start giving them all the stuff.

>> The only way it won't happen is if you equip yourself

to be financially independent.

>> Mm-hm.

>> Because once a woman gives up financial independence to a mate, it's over.

>> Yep.

>> Because there's not an equality anymore.

And I know I'm going to get a lot of mail.

I don't care.

I don't read negative mail.

Don't send me negative mail.

What I'm telling you is, you don't necessarily have to use your craft,

use your career, but you have to be prepared.

Because if you're not prepared then you're stuck,

and more women have to accept lifestyles that

are unpleasant because they are financially stuck.

So if you're smart, you teach your daughter,

teach your granddaughters, everybody has to have something that they're good at

where they can earn a living.

Not everybody's gonna be a millionaire >> Right.

>> But you gonna learn how to make a living.

>> Whether you work or not you have to do that.

>> [APPLAUSE]
