What to Know
There might have once been a time when people had children at a younger age, but somewhere along the way, millennials and those who are Gen Z realized that they can wait until their 30’s to start a family, if at all. But one man on TikTok was quick to criticize this idea, and even quicker to call out women who prefer to travel and see the world before settling down. The nerve of these women, right?
Obviously, that is 100% sarcasm, but this guy on TikTok probably wouldn’t know the difference. After he posted his snarky commentary, a woman stitched his video with her own to share her thoughts and make sure he heard the other side of the internet. And, unfortunately for this man, other women rallied behind her.
He claims it’s all about travel pictures on social media.

In the TikTok, the original of which has reportedly been taken down, the man says, “Modern women trade all of their baby making years for travel photos.” Apparently, this is a dig at women who want to travel the world, or at least their home countries, to experience other parts of life either before or in place of starting a family. And we aren’t here to judge. Well, maybe this guy is.
The woman who stitched the man’s TikTok in her own video, Barrett Adair, quickly responded to his claims and called him out. It makes sense why the guy eventually deleted his own post, because he clearly did not have a clapback for her, which only proves that his video had no weight to it.
“Modern men are trading in all their baby making years for videos of themselves laid up in the bed at their mama’s house and hoodies covered in honey barbecue Twist Frito dust while they judge the far more interesting lives of all the women who wouldn’t f–k them,” Barrett says in the video. Boom. Roasted. No other words needed. But don’t worry, because she doesn’t stop there. How could she? This guy gave her plenty of material to work with.
She says that men have their own issues in wasting their 20’s and 30’s, but in their case, it’s drinking alcohol and failing to commit to a relationship. She also points out that some men’s sperm has the tendency to not last well over time, so maybe this guy needs to consider his own prospects first.
“You might want to get on that, because as you’re laid up on the Room Essential sheets, just know that your sperm count is slowly dwindling down to the same as that thread count,” Barrett continues. “I have heard that a lot of people like to conceive a baby on vacation, although I understand that it wasn’t in your original plan for the mother of your children to actually like being around you enough to spend a week at a beach somewhere with you. So I don’t know what you’re gonna do about that.”
The man was called out for his own insecurities.
There wasn’t much more that needed to be said after Barrett read this guy for filth. But you can trust like-minded women of the internet to come together on social media platforms like TikTok. And in the comments under the video, they were quick to go pretty low when it comes to this man. He had it coming, really.
“This is why he’s wearing a hoodie,” someone commented, along with a not-so-flattering photo of the man, presumably taken from his TikTok account.
Another person speculated, “Sounds like he is creeping his ex’s Insta and she is having the time of her life.”
“Baby making years????” Someone else commented, quoting him. “Women aren’t incubators.”
He later deleted the video.
According to the comments under Barrett’s video, the man who made the original video with his claims about women actually deleted the video.
Take that how you will, but he either felt embarrassed, or he didn’t get quite the response he had hoped for. Or, maybe it was a combination of the two. Honestly, we can only hope that’s the case.
