Just another consumerism "holiday" for the vapid herd-animals.

Men, all men, need to stop giving attention. Stop messaging DMs, stay single. The best thing to ever happen in dating would be if the top 10% guys all decide to stay single.. the entire dating market will change within a year when no DMs are sent to any girl. Attention is the most important thing a woman wants - if you (the 10% guy) stop giving her the attention, everything will change for the better If you guys want true change, this is how it needs to be - the power needs to be back on men's hands.

Glad i watched this video you just reinforced what i already knew work on yourself ....and dont take your ex back....no 2nd chances

Exactly its so peaceful not having a lady in my life i love the silence in my house

skeptical about the intentions here, why make this a thing? why would we celebrate a detachment from society? I get some people might not have a choice and need reassurance but when did connection become a bad thing? I mean advertisements are certainly out of control but if you've got it great if you dont then you've got room to grow, it shouldn't really be a hot topic. Corrupt business has more to gain than lose from single people, so why?

All driven towards women take take taken like normal no thanks I won't be involved happily single thanks very much

My Amazon List for Valentine's Day is ready. ❤❤❤ I am MY OWN VALENTINE ❣️

V.D. is for companies like Hallmark (and others as well).

Its just another day of the year for me. I'll send my mom something though.

Greetings. My roughly same age discernment has become this. Had a great mate. Lost her. Tried again from a seeking familiarity construct. A coup,e of ok's but no spark. Then a couple of Jesus freaks so deeply indoctrinated by an mirage. I never said a word about it nor have the right to. Then a serial narctriss, as you learn, has at first traumatized,then liberated like ive never been before. I'm done "seeking Susan". Btw no personal reference in name. A malignant narcissist will educate you in interpersonal exploitation like nothing else. You see the corporate manipulation behind all the holidays. Let me say this, if you have two super compatible people, every day is Valentines day. This is not the eighties at a much different interpersonal time. No not going through tryouts again. When you replace the devaluation a malignant narconutz does, you realize it was a mind fuk of projection. The worse they are the easier it is to see. Plus recent events have changed everything into a world unrecognizable as being inhabited by empathy dead droids. There is no more cognitive dissonance. I see through camouflage and bluster. But the biggest takeaway is not to live in want. Nowadaze < spelled correctly, drama free living is not worth disturbing. Its like msm with corporate propaganda, Valentines, Christmas, etc. Is just an opportunity to exploit more than any supposed true meaning. Sry for the long rant. Hope someone finds it relatable.

I too have been passed when it came to a leadership role that was due, esp. given the skill gradient. So I get what you’re saying. However, mind you’re narrating from your perspective, single women maybe have a similar experience. I do recommend you do what I did: Thin out your inventory, sell tand and books, in preparation to move where you’re made felt appreciated. The sooner the better since life is finite. Then, maybe a small change will satisfy you, such as a better job (which I got at a different company) - or somewhere warmer where you can be more active and have more of your time. Though you have to be ready.

cope harder.

Im 5,4 and severely autistic women are highly selective they dont and wont ever want me, i have no reason to be optimistic or have hope for the future i am very much preparing my life for suffering and isolation most likely i will unalive myself within the next 10 years since i have no family or purpose or hope for a future

I went to a musical play does that count lol. The snacks and the animals were the best part, but Overall it was boring because it was too long and too loud. I fell asleep on multiple occasions because long outings have never been enjoyable, Unless im by myself even then it's rare because im not a social person.

This is a real disadvantage nobody talks about: if you work somewhere with a bunch of rich chad execs, you are seen as weird if you are single and are excluded from meetings with older, rich, powerful, and usually married people. There is this perception that you are less than. Why would this matter? Well it matters cause usually the best paying jobs and opportunities are acquired through networking. But if these people don’t see you as worthy that isn’t good.

It's like advocating that eating in a Michelin restaurant is better than doing it at a hot dog stand, problem is there's not too many restaurants around.

O.K. Out here in reality in 2025, how many corporations are having any kind of gatherings of any sort? Especially ones that "require" you to bring a +1? 🤔

Single men are viewed as not stable, a job hopper, selfish, loser, unattractive to women, there are many , less longevity, must have mental problems, and many more. The media says women not married are career oriented , are goal oriented, etc. Too many women spell love as cash same number of letters and certain occupations do not appeal to women.

Great content man!

I'll take the disadvantage over listening to a womans drama. As far as being sent off to war? That answer is NOPE!

I think this was written by a woman and completely lacking a masculine perceptive

One of the biggest advantages is being able to move to a cheaper city, a cheaper area, get roommates if you need to in order to get your financial situation better

Anytime you avoid something, that's a single that you should continue to chip away at it

I've been single for a long time now, was with someone for a while but it never get passed the engagement phase, we were both messes, her more than me in many aspect. Anyway, I felt happy living with myself until I hit 40, then it started to dawn on me that I would be forever alone from that point on, that's where it struck a cord and loneliness caught up on me.

it makes sense that employers would like married men better, people with dependents are more likely to tolerate bs then a single men.

If you choke on your food there is no one to help you. Same with falling or heart attack.

Thank you for your input. My thoughts to that topic: To think that someone can “have” another person is fundamentally wrong. People are not possessions, and you can’t own them like furniture. In my opinion, men shouldn’t feel they must be with someone just to fill a perceived need. Instead, focus on becoming comfortable living life on your own terms. Believing that you need another person to feel fulfilled often leads to unhealthy relationships. Ask yourself why you feel this need, trace it to its root, and work on resolving it rather than seeking a romantic partner as a fix.

I can confirm it's disadvantageous being single, regarding work prospects. When in one's 30ies applying for a job, the fact that one isn't tied up, may have made the potential employers consider the candidate before them won't stay long, as he may seek a partner elsewhere. I never realised it was a draw-back but it is, especially in non-big cities

Problem with the concept of having someone in the hard times is that often in the hard times that someone seeks greener pastures. Basically if you are single you have to be self sufficient but participating in a sport or hobby that involves others is a great counter to that. True love is the best but that is becoming rare with the risk factor increasing.

I don't have a problem with it as much as non-single people seem to.

Ed, you're Bang-On with a couple of points here: When I was in a Corporate job it was made ABUNDANTLY clear to me that the reason I wasn't getting 'Promoted' was that I was single & considered 'Emotionally Unstable'. The other thing: the guys from the Office would have Backyard BBQ's on the weekends & I'd NEVER be invited.... "Oh, Erik - Um Yeah.... You'll be the Odd One Out..." Here the last one that'll make you laugh: Monday morning 'Sales Meetings': the Boss says " Steve - what did you do in the Weekend? " "Yeah I Coached my Kid's Little League, Boss". "Tom - what about you..?" "Yeah Boss I hosted my kids Birthday..." "Erik - what about you?'. "Oh - just went out to a Singles Bar & Hooked up with a Beautiful Woman & spent all Sunday with her in my Bachelor Pad..." Suddenly the Boardroom Went DEAD QUIET, and absolutely NO ONE was Happy for Me.... (or themselves!)

Number 10 (Household burdens) resonated with me. I have this landline where I've forgotten the code to retrieve messages. I have online access to the manual, which I hope will address the issue, but I keep putting it off. A partner might well have addressed this. Same with the electricity tariff I'm on. I need to contact the provider and get a better deal!

I feel really lucky to be in my situation. YMMV.

Thats the big thing. Being with the right woman

Any desirable women will only consider a partner who is financially stable and secure. TBH, what man would want the remainder of undesireable women? As a poor, working class man, my only choices are women who are mentally unstable or grossly overweight and unhealthy. Without acceptable choices, I have nothing and therefore, am alone.

here are some peace quiet less arguments doing as you please no nagging being able to enjoy time with your friends without explain when and where and who you get to spend all the money you make how you see fit you can bring home any piece of trim that catches your eye and still live alone by the next morning yep definitely tons of downsides to living single

Being single has no disadvantages as far as I'm concerned. I'm speaking from personal experience. I'm enjoying the freedom I have to do what I want when I want and the only problems I have to deal with are my own which are easily manageable. There is no one around nagging me and positioning herself to take half of what I own in a divorce. The only person I answer to is me. I love the peace and quiet that comes with living alone. I can read a book or do other things I enjoy without being disturbed. Being able to be at peace with yourself and enjoy your own company is crucial in not feeling like you need someone else around you all the time in order to be happy. Men who have not learned how to be content in their own company or divorced/widowed men are the ones who view being single as a disadvantage. They feel lonely because they have become accustomed to laying beside their partners in bed and everything else that comes with living with a woman. When she is no longer in the picture suddenly the bed feels empty. A sense of loneliness creeps in. I sympathize with these men and I totally understand why they feel that way. My advice is use the time you are alone as an opportunity to find peace and contentment with yourself. You want to get to a point in your life where companionship is a choice not a need you can't live without.

The Eagles said it best a woman can’t take you anywhere you don’t already know how to go

It's real simple,,,if you have a good woman. Enjoy life,,if you don't have a good woman,,enjoy life,,if you are rich enjoy life if you are poor enjoy life,,if you are beautifully enjoy life if you are ugly enjoy life!!!!!

I agree. Singe men seem more fit and healthier than married men.

1. No morning blowies 2. No one to make you sandwiches 3. No one to clean the toilet 4. No one to sweep the floor 5. No one to do the shopping.

I don't agree that the drawbacks are greater when older. I am not attracted to women my age and I have no need to socialize with middle age women. When you are older you have more freedom to pursue your passions. But if you are use to a woman cooking and cleaning for you, I can see why you may have an issue. I am use to taking care of myself and have for most of my life. Sure, women come and go, but I don't depend on a girlfriend and frankly as I grow older I don't see much upside. They offer very little in my opinion.

The only disadvantages of being a single man, is that you dont have a woman to love..thays prettty mjch it

I lost my wife 7 years ago to a tick bite. It was 2 weeks before our 39th anniversary. Marrying the right person is great but, now days its too risky. When women are talking about starter husbands, that he has to keep her happy all of the time, and in many cases her friends convince her that she can do better. The real divorce rate for marriages now is over 70%. They say 50% but that is weighted to the older married people. Divorce is a leading cause of male self deletion. I loved my wife and miss her but, I now have no stress in my life and it is nice in that aspect. Nice video. Good Luck, Rick

Honestly, the advantages of being single get better with time. Look at those who "Have someone" Are they at peace? Are they always having some type of strife or stress because of their girlfriends or wives? Are they effectively held hostage by the threat of divorce? Are they being bled dry by the expenses of dating, having children, or divorce court and alimony?

U get sick easily

I wouldn't say being single as a guy in America is a nightmare, rather being around people who are just shallow, fake, cringy and materialistic is a nightmare, because you don't know where the real people are and just want to remain in solitude because everything is getting crazy.

You:re doing fine with your videos...can you get help with your vision? Is it correctinl? I have cataract surgery this week..hoping it will help me. Good luck...PS I am a single 68yo woman and I agree with your points. Single no kids or spouse...good luck!
