If a woman does not support those values, I will not support what she deems valuable. I will only treat a woman seriously if she matches my value. Too many women out there delude themselves into thinking men are thirsty when they actually need to become better humans before they can see the good men far ahead of them on the horizon. We are not better than women, we are simply saying you need to *be better* and if a woman's answer is that men have no choice then so be it.

Yeah this woman is hella projecting. Women constantly need someone to talk to about how their day was, and to vent about how horrible of an experience it was while expecting their man to be an emotional support pillar giving them constant attention and reassurances whereas men are just "yeah hey take care of the house when I'm gone, I'm gonna be at work." and even if we have the most chaotic or exciting thing happen at work we just sum it up to "yeah it was a day" when asked. We don't NEED to constantly vent or have constant reassurance that we don't look fat in our new dress, or have someone to comfort us 24/7 and if there's any gender that really can't be handle being single, it's definitely women and that's why you see so many women in "situationships" with multiple men to talk to meanwhile if men are seeing multiple women it's purely for sex, not for companionship. Even constantly venting online, so many videos of women crying on tiktok about something or other because THEY always need someone to talk to and absolutely crave the constant attention unlike men. You won't see men posting photos of their ass on instagram and trying so hard to do half-naked photoshoots just so people pay attention to them. Men are perfectly content being alone majority of the time and for vast periods too but women can't seem to go a single day without human interaction. We still get 'cravings' for social interaction every now and then of course but we don't require a partner for that and the only real craving we can't satisfy without a "partner" is sex but we can obviously get that without dating anyone now thanks to feminism so men don't really need partners or marriage for that matter anymore. Many men are especially and specifically wanting to avoid dating nowadays because of all the toxic feminist ideology that has brainwashed so many women into demanding completely unrealistic expectations from their partner. Dating for men now is an absolute chore that many are stating to deem as not worth it whereas for women why the hell would you not want a man paying all your bills and essentially catering to your every need like feminism has taught you to expect? This woman, and most of the women making videos like this, are so salty because they probably managed to date a rich attractive simp for a while before being dumped because he found someone better to simp for and now they can't find anyone new because they're demanding a new one in a billion partner exactly like the old one to essentially be her wallet and lapdog that gets nothing in return again.

[@BrutalBluntTruth]

So you're telling me that single is what you TRULY want to be, regardless of external circumstances? That is your solid choice with no regrets? Masturbating in a room somewhere and using your imagination and having no one to emotionally connect to if you wanted to is your genuine choice? You would turn down any attractive and reasonable woman if one came up to you and asked for permission to get to know you and date you? Or ....would you do something differently if you were in a region where you could find women who come with peace? I'm not saying there is anything wrong with *genuinely* choosing to be single. However, I have a hard time believing it is really a genuine *choice* and rather you trying to convince yourself to believe it is a "choice." You probably see what's out there and had experiences and decided it isn't worth it to keep looking then gave up involuntarily while deep down inside you truly wish there was someone reasonable and attractive to connect with and would probably immediately take it (over masturbating and watching these type of videos and / or following comments of other men who are in the same boat to release built up pain if you stumbled upon such a person right now. I doubt that you are single by choice and rejecting all kinds of opportunities (good and bad) and probably are just single involuntarily due to it being extremely difficult for a western man to find something worthy and not having the luxury of being able to pick and choose or reject people from a plethora of people from the opposite sex strategically plotting clever and creative ways to try to get your attention the moment you either get online or go outside..

But there is a line to be drawn for every individual of what is unacceptable.

It is a shame that you gentlemen have to go through this. I can promise you we are not all like that. I will tell you a good way to weed out the bad ones: forget your wallet on the third or fourth date. If she offers to pay with no questions asked and has a good attitude, chances are you have found a good one. Do not offer to pay her back until after the next date if you feel compelled to do so. Also, pay attention to her life before you. If she seems genuinely content with being alone and happy without having to brag about dumping someone, like Being an independent woman means not needing a man to be happy. She is happy 😮 without you, and she will be happy with you if you accept her for who she is. However, any woman who has to put down a man to describe how she is happy or why she is happy is not happy without a man. She just doesn't know how to get a good one. I am perfectly happy with my life as a single woman, but it is not because I don't want the companionship of a man. I would like to find a man who complements my life and is happy with me without wanting to change everything about me while changing nothing about himself. I want to accept him for who he is, and I want the same in return. I go above and beyond for my Man, if I have one, but so far, it has never been reciprocated. I will not change that about myself or hold it against all men because I know there are good ones out there. For some reason, I tend to choose the bad ones and fall for their games. I can spot the bullshit ahead of time and I have the ability to see through it, but I choose not to use that ability. I take full accountability for my bad choices in men, and I will not hate all men for my bad choices. While I don't need a man in my life to be happy, even though I don't need a man in my life to be happy, I would like to have a decent one around someday. After this last one and how badly he hurt me, I don't know how many more I have left before I give up altogether.

I also believe that lots of women build up resentment toward their husband's over the years and once they get a taste of so called freedom they're happy to treat their men as disposable. Why? Because she feels that she earned it. He worked his body and health literally into the ground to provide for her and his family and now the woman no longer has to sacrifice and she can live the life she wants that his hard work made possible. I have seen it before time and time again, that's why I am single by choice.

In return she would move with us and we would do our part to ensure she's well taken care of and never stuck in a horrible place like that. She's made it extremely clear to me that if she ever gets to the point where she can not do things constantly on her own anymore and would have to actually move into a place like that then she would rather just end things on her own terms and I will not accept her doing that to herself so its a bit of compromise on all parts.

[@conquerchange]

This was a brilliant commentary and episode. It underscores the genuine unhappiness and bitterness many women in today's dating market feel and demonstrate toward men. The bottom line is that when you enter a relationship you become an advocate for each other, in sickness and in health, now and in the future. If you don't understand that concept and practice it every day in your relationship (whether you are married or not) then you have no business being in a relationship. The bitter woman in the video who is so in love with all her girlfriends and goes on and on about not needing a man is fooling herself into thinking that the same level of camaraderie will exist if and when she gets sick or has a financial problem. It will not. She also seems to think that men are the only ones who get sick and end up needing care, care that she clearly is not going to provide. How eternally sad for her. The good men like me would never touch her with 100 foot pole. I was married in my 20s. Halfway through our marriage my wife became ill and could not work. I adjusted and finally paused a very successful career to spend time with her and ultimately care for her until she passed 10 years later. Had the tables been turned would my wife have done this for me? Yes. The woman in the video? Absolutely not. Having recently re-entered the dating market I've been on dates with women like that. It's a sad state of affairs. Many women have lost their moral compass and project their unhappiness to anyone who will listen. This doesn’t mean there are not good women out there. Quite the contrary, there are many good women. It just means the process of getting to them takes more time and requires more discernment on the part of men.

[@FastFSharp]

This makes me furious. I am recently divorced, wife fell in love with another man and left me after 12 years and two kids. Do you know the only thing I really wanted from her? Companionship.

I never made demands of her and I only said "No" once and she thanked me for it the next day. What did it get me? An affair. All I wanted was a friend to walk through life with and after all the sacrifice she fell in love with someone else and felt no remorse for what she had done.

I just don't want to spend my life 'attached' to another human. It's funny how surprised people are when I tell them that I'm a 'non-coupler'. They simply can't imagine a person not needing/wanting a 'mate' in their life. Most relationships I observe devolve into men resenting women - and women resenting men. It doesn't seem to occur to them that they don't *have* to do this. Some people have a fulfilling marriage and I'm happy for them. It's just not for me. There's an old saying that "marriage is the triumph of habit over hatred". I think this is true of a lot of marriages. They're just white-knuckling their way through life with their spouse because they're more afraid of being alone than they are with the reality that they aren't happy. This woman in the video is hilarious. I think she can't imagine men single-by-choice because she needs to think that they want her - but can't have her ...that they need her but she's turning them away.

[@RobertMorgan]

The only people who can have power over you are those you WANT something from. You want nothing from them, they can't control you. If they have nothing to offer, they can't manipulate you. Like being independently wealthy but choosing to still work, does you boss have ANY power over you? No, because they offer nothing you want enough to be coerced. Can't offer money, don't want or need more, what else you got? Most, nearly all, of the things I WANT, that I personally desire, can't be bought. They have to be GIVEN. If they could be bought, I'd have already bought them. If money could solve all our problems, we'd have no problems.

[@mrdaft3272]

This sums up my experience so far, and I have dated enough to say it wasn’t just a sampling. I do think that some of it might be the way North American women are brought up. I don’t know if every culture does all of it, though I am sure some of the traits carry over to all

[@PleaseElaborate]

Not single for lack of options. Single for lack of 'qualified' options.

[@edwardsmith8127]

As a man when I got into my 40's & 50's there was little incentive for me to adjust my life to accommodate or take on the responsibility of a woman.I don't dislike women in general & can converse with them in small doses but just won't deal with their dramas 24/7 these days.I tried marriage once & don't need to do it again.

[@maddoggienation]

10 seconds into listen to this woman and I can see why she is single.. HARD PASS...

[@ChinUp4U2]

So I'm divorced. .. reason being is my wifes credit card got hacked one day when she stopped for gas after the market. ... Few days and we were still fighting. ... I didn't want her to report her card stolen/hacked. ... The guy at the station was spending less then she way. ... Bang* Divorced.

[@AAjax]

To not feel it's a sad situation that anybody of any gender is alone in a care home, shows me she's completely lacking in empathy. Possibly a psychopath.

[@barnettmcgowan8978]

In my profession, I've seen many people alone in care homes. It's always sad, regardless of gender. It's hard to respect anyone with her attitude and lack of compassion.

Mizz "She did her time" is a misandrist. Pure and simple

[@Lady_Eye_Doc]

This woman is a horrible person! She sounds very selfish. Not all older women are like her.

[@rizon72]

Begs the question, which is worse, the unmarried guy alone in the nursing home or the married guy whose wife and family never visits him? They are both alone.

[@rflournoy]

I'm looking at that woman's face as she says she's "happy" and it's laughable. She doesn't look happy, she doesn't look pleasant. She looks like someone who whines a lot. Thanks Em for posting this.

[@sherpajones]

I think you mean she looks like someone who drinks wine a lot... out of a box.

[@Muck006]

She is "happy" because she can FIGHT THE PATRIARCHY some more in her old age ... "refuting" anything that men say by not giving any evidence other than FEELINGS-BASED PERSONAL ANECDOTES.

[@MrBdiehl]

Kinda KAREN Face!

Hey y'all,I'm 72 my dating life just don't happen. Was married over 29 yrs. Best time of my life . That,was 20 yrs ago. I raised your child till she was 20 she was before me. Now weman have changed so much I'm thinking twice before getting involved. Such a waste of time now.

[@MadMax-el2el]

44, been single since I was 27... I don't miss any of the bs brought into my calm, peaceful life by women

[@n00b2004]

I got divorced at 28 or 29. I tired getting a girlfriend after my divorce and I just rejected or ignored. I am 39, I am better off being single.

[@brutishfossil5022]

Single by choice. Can't find a women these days that is worth my time.

[@johnvencill1511]

Get a dog. They are great

[@svglorious]

Emily, you really drilled into this one… which is the “big” issue today… narcissistic projection…and the resistance to change or even listen to your hurt and wounded partner…

[@papasqualo9178]

Thank God for you Emily! Speaking as a middle-aged man, I genuinely am looking for reasons to have faith in women again and you are an excellent starting point to regaining that faith. I have never had a disastrously bad time with women in my life, but the creatures I see on the internet spouting everything from absolutely moronic reasoning to rabid hatred of men is really disturbing. I don't want to feel this way about women, I never did in the past and I really don't want to now! At last (with you) instead of the completely undeserved sense of entitlement, the pathological unaccountability and the overwhelming narcissism, there is a thoughtful, articulate and compassionate woman explaining her reasoned thoughts and ideas. I truly thank you.

[@N7SpecterElite]

She was hurt previously by a man in her life, and now every man, is that guy.

[@bestbehave]

Or she’s hurt men, they’ve shrugged and left

[@P01234y]

She’s hit the wall and firing back now.

[@gabem6863]

It's every mans fault that she gave herself to players and got played every time. Never her poor judgement or inability to learn from her mistakes.

[@pilgrim42]

Maybe she was never hurt, but is simply a sociopath?

[@MrMigido]

​@@pilgrim42 she was hurt,. Problem is she self deluded herself by thinking she could catch and tame her target. Self delusion.

[@AC-yw4du]

If they were happy they wouldn’t be posting videos to the Internet. They’d be off being happy. The thread that ties all these women together is extreme selfishness. All they care about is themselves and how they can use others.

[@frettystories]

We currently have an alarming amount of men that are self deleting themselves in our society right now because of what is going on with the women in our society and people still have the gall to say shit like that. I've already been heart broken over things I won't get into here but after seeing that it just adds to it. But at the end of the day, I really do know and believe that you are a true blessing to this world, Emily. You really are. Not just us men need you. The world needed someone like you to pop up. Seriously. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you for all that you do.

[@Humourous_Pie]

It's a shame that so many of you talk about it but do you contribute to the greater good? I think I do because most of American women don't realize their husbands are on chat lines getting a thrill out of talking to other married women. It's too bad they don't spend enough time with their husbands but they feel it's okay to beat other women down with a stick. Whether you feel they are right or wrong at least we women have an escape when abused to escape to a place that helps women. I am pretty sure that's what feminist fought for. But I guess it's okay to judge women who fought for the freedoms we have today that are worthless to women.

[@brunosaisi]

Men really don't choose to be single, we choose self respect. being single just comes with the package

[@johnygoodrock6285]

Many of my friends have tell me they've simply given up on women. It's sad but true. I used to tell my wife that I had the best job in the world, taking care of her. I guess she just didn't understand that is what men need in their life, to be protector of the family. She cheated on me and eventually left. I'm done and actually much happier without the delusional views of modern women.

[@brooksroth345]

I was always the hard working nice guy and made a good living. So of course I got cheated on and dumped. The last one karma got her. Cheated and left for Chad who lived with his mother. No job no education, no work history. 6mo later her mother called and said I left something at her house. Got there and the ex was there. She left him and wanted to get back together. Laughed my ass off as I walked out. Dumbest thing I ever did was to buy her a car. Tried to hide it but I gave her sister 20$ to tell me where it was. Got it back. She wrote me a 16page letter detailing what an ass I was. I keep it auround to remind me to never get married.

[@janechapman7801]

Both men and women have protective instincts though it's difficult not to feel undermined if some says it in a way that comes across as one sided both should be allowed to be protective

[@donm-tv8cm]

THIS man is single by choice. And you couldn't DRAG me back to married life! They call her a "ball and chain" for a reason, and it comes clearly into focus after she cuts you loose and you realize you've dodged a huge bullet by being rid of her!

[@RobertMorgan]

I'm single by choice which is WHY I've never gotten married. Kind of defeats the purpose. I don't believe in divorce so anyone I'd marry has to be pretty perfect.

[@JeffreyLord]

I have dropped out of the dating world. I had been married 2 times. Cheated on the first time and the second time she was a mental abuser for both me and my older children. And the when I was looking they all reminded me of my exs and just threw my hands up. My peace and mental health is more important. So I'm focusing on me. Getting a degree in something I've been putting of for many years. Getting back in shape.

[@papinoo1159]

My mom lives in a retirement community of 30,000 people. This town is comprised of hundreds of HOAs. I usually check in once a week for 4-5 hours to see everything is alright. How many people living there have told me that the only visits they get from family are on Thanksgiving or Christmas? This is the norm. My mom tells me her neighbors can't believe how often I show up to visit. The point here is that it is not just men not getting visits. This retirement town is 70% women. The other notable thing is that whenever I am visiting, women will come knocking to ask if I would come and do repairs on their houses or cars. Even changing a light bulb is a popular request. I always say no and some women get very huffy about being denied. Drizzle! Drizzle!

[@gmarra37]

Another bitter woman voicing the same nonsense other bitter women say. They project; they refuse introspection; they refuse to accept personal accountability. Thanks for outing yourself. Emily, once again, thank you for your reasonable assessment.

[@Doc.1948]

Your dead on. No wonder she's single.

[@michaelautrey6641]

i wonder how many of the men in nursing homes without visitors are happy because they finally found some peace.

[@raxxtango]

men in retirement communities are a Grand Prize...as most men are already in the ground. women clamor and fight over men in retirement communities. fact

[@marcgrundfest1495]

Most of them are in fact discarded by society. But that's because they are men who can't work... All men who can't work will be discarded. I expect a lot of men will self delete to avoid that fate.

[@CanadaBud23]

Hows being surrounded and told what do constantly every second by entitled nurses/doctors? Sounds like a fucking nightmare.

[@stepheniedomingo9089]

That is a myth there's no peace in the nursing home for both men and women because there's yelling, calling out, physical aggression from agitated elderly residents

[@stepheniedomingo9089]

​@@raxxtangoThat is not true. The ones who end up with amorous relationship in a nursing home are usually with dementia. There was a man who was cognitively intact and can make decisions refused to be paired up with the single females saying they were old for him

[@blueskies7035]

Simple test: How many women married a man that did not propose marriage to them? Men don't have to open that door.

[@TruthisclassifiedLiesisnews]

My ex wife married me & she proposed. I told her im getting a divorce though didn't ask . Aeking there is a chance she may not agree

[@dennishansel9526]

I've had two women propose and said no to both. I proposed to the woman I married. Considering how women hit on men, men are single by choice.

Damn Emily, you really nailed the bit about empathy. As a guy who has been brutally rejected by people with no self respect or empathy, despite me trying my darndest to be the best person I can be and even put down and rejected by my own son, this kills me inside to hear that there are women that get it, but i'll never find her.

[@GAG-f9y]

Bottom line - if you can't be respectful and accountable for your own actions, you don't have the right to be in a relationship with your nothing burger on the table.
