I’m the same way when I date. When even a short fling doesn’t work out with a woman, it leaves me crushed. I just had a first date with a woman that I thought went well, and she did not want to go out again. It totally has affected my entire mood, work, and sleep quality. I keep wondering what it is about me that it just keeps not working out with women I am into. When I go through long periods of not dating, I am much more at peace with myself.

I can barely handle the idea of how much time I’ve spent buying into this merging humans idea.

[@johnpolese6575]

The title of the video is a great mindset to have. It demonstrates great contentment with who you are, and that your whole life purpose and identity is not wrapped up in getting a GF/spouse. Often it feels like our worth as a man depends on how much women find us attractive. As well as having a steady relationship or wife. I’ve never been very good with women. I can get a first date a lot of the time but then the woman’s interest fizzles quickly. It made me feel very bad about myself and still does, but I need to give myself permission to be single. My worth is not in how attractive I am to women or having a GF/spouse. The dating game is also so complicated now especially for men that I may almost be better off being single in the long run.

The right relationship for you will take little to no work. I never compromise myself. And there are the men .... I LOVE you but could you change a little and reassure me. BYE. I was a wild ass girl. And then I got married to a wild ass guy. Our friends told us we were perfect together because we were so difficult. We didn't have filters. Don't ask if you don't wanna know. Cause we stayed true to ourselves. And not needy at all. So he died young (don't smoke) and that sucked. But when he got diagnosed the first thing he said to me was thank God I lived my life the way I wanted to. Before he died he said he was thankful he married a woman who didn't try to change him. I said uh, how long would you have stuck around if I did? A great laugh for us. True story. I find men to be so freaking needy. My therapist said it's a hunter thing.

A relationship to me is nothing short of inviting a potential liability and risk to what I have already created. An established relationship can be ended with just one emotion. I also can't invite someone into my life who faces very little to no consequence to their actions, that is asking for trouble. Then I have the ultimate kicker, I have a healthy relationship with my daughter and her mother and I already know that that is a big no no regarding potential partners. I've already been told that my relationship with my kids mother is an issue as their is no conflict. When someone expects conflict I have to quickly move them out of my life. All in all, I'd never dream of risking everything I've achieved in life to be destroyed by a woman an their ridiculous excuses for bad behaviour. Not on my watch.

Dating is not for everyone. Some people are actually hermits and need to be on an Island with the wind, water and the air. And if they have the sense of a grain of sand they can talk to the sea creatures 😊 and they would be fine.

[@blessed7927]

I think its about getting a really strong sense of yourself and letting that unravel and decide what do do as you build yourself into the person you want to be not what someone else wants you to be. Because doing it “to get” -that keeps one busy but not satisfying.

[@ShakaCthulu]

You need to be happy by yourself before you can be happy with someone else.

[@oaklandsoldier8520]

Easier said than done.

[@jackschleich9475]

ive thought of this multiple times. I even considered many times just get the fake wedding ring abd pretend divorce or that youre wife is away

[@beatrixbrennan1545]

I thought I wanted a relationship so I worked on myself for a long time, trying to be a good potential partner. I ended up with a covert narcissist who completely effed up my brain and emotions. I turned really cold and angry. It felt like a sick joke and I knew after that that I would NEVER be the same. It was the last straw in a long line of bad relationships. I simply don't have the energy to invest in someone who will most likely lie, cheat or steal from me. These days, I consider myself very blessed though. I am a hetero female and live with a gay man who I actually used to date before he was gay. He's very attentive and caring and takes good care of me. I don't have to worry about romantic emotions or him wanting me physically. I have companionship without all the drama. To summarize, I'm completely content to never be in a relationship again and I'm happy about it.

I never met a woman whose soul mate was a 5’2 bald fat guy with back hair who collects disability and lives in his parents house. Funny how that werks eh?

[@Nyarichad]

😂

[@birglindebecker3554]

I never OWN anyone nor anyone OWNS me!!

[@dcpmootown]

I been mostly single for 46 years and I dont think I could have a partner anymore as I enjoy being alone and doing my thing more

[@jeremyvanb821]

Relationships can be wonderful but they are also demanding. I’m currently in single mode and have never been less interested in dating

[@brerrabbit4265]

I still date but serious relationships are out of the question. Whenever I get a "girlfriend" it seems like I am automatically obligated to do the same things for her as if she were my wife, and if I fail or refuse to do certain things, I am not a real man. Women have guilt and shamed me right out of the relationship game. I got my own crap to fix and my own bills to pay. When I do date, I am already providing more for her than she is for me. I tell all the woman I chill with that I've always been better off alone and if she's willing to be with me she's probably better off alone as well.

[@PB-1]

I relate to this but I am close to 40, how long to your partners usually stay around? Just curious, because I prefer this arrangement, but it seems harder with women in their 30's?

[@plumeria66]

Then you should shame her right back and tell her she is weak, desperate, and needy since she can’t take care of herself. Don’t let women dish it to you without getting dished back worse.

[@sagora3114]

Very interesting subject and rarely talked about for some reason...."programed" very accurate

[@Lifeissimplyadream]

Great topic Tim. So interesting that I have heard this a few times in the past month in conversations and a few times online. I think we’ve all received the same download. ✨💯

[@billygoat9381]

This is so damn true. I needed this thanks

[@thisislogout]

This was a GREAT session! Real talk!

[@tessfromtheu.s256]

Omg I just have been binge watching your stuff and I just agree so much and feel sooo relieved I'm not the only one who thinks this way ....

[@ZendreGlymph]

Tim, I have been single for over 12 years now 😂. I don’t miss dating and being with a partner anymore. I live my life unapologetically everyday.

[@drivventodrumm1]

Same, 4 years ago. Still have female friends but dating is off the table

[@amalyah46]

I'm 61 yrs old and I decided to go solo for the rest of my life. I have no children and never married. My health is good and I believe in YAH and Yahshua.

[@charlesatlas77]

I can so relate to this topic. Thanks Tim!

[@tallflguy]

Defiantly don’t need to date, or have a relationship. I’m all about getting a “temporary girlfriend” (For legal reason I’ll avoid using the actual term) to take care of your physical needs. This is what I do and I feel so happy and free.

[@michaelanthony1797]

LOL, Sometimes you have to hire a plumber.

[@tallflguy]

@@michaelanthony1797 lol very true

[@PunkMartyr]

I dunno man i have a friend addicted to these and hes pretty much worthless. He spends around 3k a month on them then tells everyone bs stories about why hes broke and attempts to manipulate people into food, rides and a place to live.

[@musicoldies83]

Just use the modern updated term: "friend with benefits".

[@tallflguy]

@@musicoldies83 Yep you are right

[@theArtOFjon]

I'm over trying to maintain any form of relationship w the opposite sex, especially if kids are involved that can be used as a bargaining tool. P.s. don't join the military it will be held against you.

[@lizcoleman5229]

Timothy, l find your videos fascinating!! You bring up topics that most people think of but don't have the courage to discuss because of what others will think. I love that you think out of the box and go with your gut feelings and not by what society says you should do or not do. Your life is probably more fulfilled than most people.

[@TimothyWard]

Glad you are enjoying the videos Liz! And thank you for the kind words!

[@Ptpop]

Knee Knuckle, Kansas? Lol great video. They’ve got us chasing after the wind.

[@thomasopala5509]

Thank you for the Greyhound tips. I was well prepared for a 3 hour delay at the Cleveland Station. It was a shock to see the filthy Men’s room with all but one urinal covered with trash bags. The transport is great but stations have deteriorated and no longer have hot food or vending machines. Thanks for your tips. Hope you have the best life.

[@RFH-ArtistinFocus-o5q]

I agree brother, you should never reflect your self worth on the fact that you are not with another. i have been alone . for over two years and i am fine. i have rediscovered, things i used to find inportant and lasting, since i have been alone, we are given tyme in life to reboot and build characteristics that are key to rediscovering self identification. we are the same in our spirits that never changes .with all the trials endured sometimes this is a necessary in your journey, remembering who we are and strive ro become the best of who you will be tomorrow ... stay strong and endure, Step out in faith and embrace your deestiny.

[@xprtbillyun]

Men are actively not dating.

[@lisamariemary]

Just started watching but omg yeah, me too!! I'm loving it. I figure, my kids are first. Period. If I'm not always happy how their dad does em, how'm I gonna tolerate how a person who's not their daddy does em.

[@lisamariemary]

Took me 51 damn years to get here and I'm not even sure how it happened. But damn, its peaceful.

[@lisamariemary]

It is one less thing to worry about but damn it's a big 1. It's like you said, it permeates everything. Every. Thing. For me personally, I wind up allowing it to effect every facet of my life. Not today :)
