Dude. You got it figured out. Keep doing what you are doing. I waited until I was 45 to have kids and 9 years later, with 2 small boys, I work remotely from home 50 hrs a week, pay for everything but groceries and do 1/2,the household work and her money is hers to live the “one life she has to live”. This is my 5th relationship ( since I was 16). They all want the stability and protection of a provider and a doormat. They put their own needs above children ( 3 of my relationships were women, divorced with kids). It’s so cringy. They want to keep as much of their money for themselves to take separate vacations, shop, gamble, give money to their family or adult children and expect your money is our money, plus you pay for your family vacations, wine and dime her and intimacy is on their terms and rare. You need to earn it once in the relationship, but when you are dating, they throw it at you like bait. When you speak to their exes, you find they are nice guys just like you who have the same exact experience with her as you do., nothing is ever good enough. Constant guilt trips and manipulation. No one is perfect but it’s impossible to get along with arrogant, know it all women who have their own agendas, taking every advantage they can, treating you like an option while existing off your back from entitlement complexes. I love my sons and am grateful to have them. I’m constantly beside myself feeling more like a father figure forced to deal with a defiant child ( their mother) who proves to be a lying, pawning, cheating, stealing, shallow, self centered, narcissistic, two faced douchebag that’s more like an obligation, a dependent child, than a mature adult women investing in a relationship and a future. Yes. I’m jaded and bitter about wasting so much time, energy and money trying to find someone to just love and be with me as a partner for the right reasons. No, I’m not needy or insecure, just a normal dude who looked for the basic needs of a relationship and, Like you, I was a single man who never had a problem attracting women, but the quality just isn’t there man. I hope you find the needle in a hay stack. But…. I didn’t marry her based on the 80% stats you mentioned. Everything I own, plus my life insurance will go to my kids as I’m about done with the B/S and ready to live a peaceful life investing my time, money and resources into raising my sons to invest more in themselves, their peace and stability than to trust any women has their best interests at heart heart. So many friends and associates dealing with these back stabbing, ladder climbing grass is greener, competitive, masculine, ungodly women. Nothing like providing a home, insurance, a weekend getaway, a boat, all the basic necessities and more… but have some chic buying groceries as her contribution dictating what you can and can’t touch of it lol. Bullying you around in your home. Nit picking you to death. While she picks up as many hours at work to leave you at home nights and your weekends off so she can work to pad her pockets and pawn off family time on you to cook and clean after work for your kids. Oh, Saturday nights someone has to take care of the boys so she needs “ her break, to treat herself” so she’ll be at the casino spending her money because she deserves it LMAO. Try holding her accountable? You’re controlling.you want to spend time with her when the kids are asleep? You’re needy or the stuff you watch on TV is boring, she’d rather be on social media. You have no option of your own. Your thoughts, feelings and emotions will never be validated. You need to kick back, suck it all in, stay in your lane, look handsome for family photo’s for social media to make her look good. Approaching her about concerns and accountability or reacting to her blatant disregard is you being abusive lol ( gaslighting you and DARVO tactics of avoidance.). It’s insane!!

Mike, you make some valid points. When I was a young woman, only the overconfident type of males asked me out. The quiet, shy ones admired from afar. Some thirty years later, I learned that a nice neighborhood guy that I liked was afraid to ask me out because I was so beautiful and he thought I'd turn him down. I ended up getting married briefly to a man who was much older than I, from money. He used me like I was a prop. When he began courting me, I had no idea he was from money. He swept me off my feet. After the divorce, I walked away with nothing but my dignity. I never remarried. I'm 71 now and doing fine. I don't hate men. There's some fine men out there. I thank God many times a day for my blessings. I have lived alone since 1978. I agree with your assessment of men and women participating in the dating game these days. My hat is off to those who have found their perfect mate.

Every woman I ever dated cheated on me, lied to me, manipulated me, bitched at me, and always put me down.. nothing was ever good enough. So when my last long term relationship ended I finally gave up. I've been done with women romantically for 7 years now and I've never looked back. I get lonely at times but it's far better than all the drama, stress, and heartache that goes into being with someone. It's just not worth it to me anymore. I'm going on 46 now and I'm just done with all the mind games.

i've been watching you for quite some time, and this video gave me a glimpse of who you really are and the morals you stand for. Now that I know who you are, I can completely agree with you on everything. I was married to a woman for 49 years until she passed away last year. Before she passed, she tried to tell me how unfaithful she was the first 24 years of our marriage. You see, back in 2010 she had a massive stroke that left her completely dependant on 100% care, and I chose to honor my vows and see her to the end, which I did. Now I'm pushing 75, have high blood pressure and a number of health problems because of my 24/7 care I administered to her. She was the love of my life and she took advantage of my love and commitment to her. I just couldn't understand how someone can abuse a relationship a lie about it until they are at death's door. But we are all human and fall short. In 24 years, she left me 5 times and I lost 5 homes and properties. I blame myself for taking her back, but I did make a vow and I honored it. Keep up the faith and the work on the new land.

You know Mike, you have many valid points.I am almost 66 years old and have been married 43 years. I love and admire my husband and have always thought of our union as a team! We've continued to be a team through all of lifes struggles, and as with most people, we've had our share of rough times too.I thank god I was born on this earth in the 50s and in this beautiful country. I grew up a young woman supporting anyone weaker. I could bravely stand on my own two feet under any circumstance, but I'd rather do this with a partner. Someone who earned my trust and vice versa. I do not have a hypergamous nature, but as you say, many women and men appear to be in relationships for very selfish reasons. How a woman looked regarding eligibility for marriage was a determining factor for many men climbing the corporate ladder. Women were tired of being treated as objects, and the rest is history, and still moving in directions that are insane in my opinion. God gave us everything we needed to be fruitful on this earth, and look at the chaos still being created by God's children. I don't blame you for hiding out and avoiding relationships. But just like your land search, finding the love of your life is possible. It takes wisdom and patience, which is sorely missing currently. While I've experienced many things in my life that I considered traumatic, I would do it all again to be with my husband and hold my first grandchild in my 60s. If you ever hold the door open for me I would thank you, and know you were taught to respect others. Thanks for this unexpected video, but it's good to get things off your chest.

Mike, I have seen you very hurt in one relationship, and I also could see how you really tried. It was probably because you loved her very much. I was married in 1966 and still with my high school sweetheart. It was a struggle, but I stayed home to be with my sons until they were older. We sacrificed and penny pinched... but it was the way. We grew up with parents from the depression and knew how to survive. We attribute that to serving God most of our marriage. It was a different time. It wasn't always easy, but we stuck it out and treated each other with respect. Those days are long gone. I get upset when I see how some women in a marriage that failed, are most times always rewarded in the courts as victims when most are not. There are exceptions of course, but I know this as I saw it in many relationships very close to me. The man was cheated on, and she got everything in court, including the children, and he was living in his car, paying support... left to survive on nothing and made the bad guy even to his children. Some men stay in a marriage just to avoid this...and suffer. Please believe me, I know this because i have seen it! My comment may have to be deleted, but it's accurate. I agree with you totally 💯.

Sorry this is so long but you said a lot! lol I do agree that the entire society is decaying, I also agree that it most definitely has to do with the Godlessness. I was raised Christian and I have always struggled because i have never EVER met any other female (who I could be friends with) who has any morals when it comes to sex, I felt like an enomeli (don't know how to spell that! lol) my entire life because i wasn't completely promiscuous and have a moral code, any friends I've had eventually backstabbed me in some cruel way as well but then point fingers at me like I did something, but I was a damn good friend to them, narcissists...every one of them. As far as sex goes, I always looked at it as a special thing between two people in love, not just the act of sex. I would definitely say the same about men when it comes to the ego thing. I dealt w/an addict for way too long and after a while I knew that all I was doing was pushing his ego up just for him to make a fool outta me, it took me gaining self-respect/self-worth and confidence before I finally had the strength to get myself away from him completely, totally facing everything alone again...I had fallen too deep for a guy who ended up not giving a shit about me, it was the hardest thing I have ever gone through emotionally, he abused my emotions and love and took it for granted. As far as everything else goes...all I gotta say is...not ALL men ARE predators, however, when it comes to trying to only get laid and not have a relationship...let's be real....A LOT of them are that way! I think most good women are looked past because they may not be physically what a man is looking for and I get it, we are all wanting to be attracted to the opposite sex, all we can do as women is try, I know I am...I let myself go but it wasn't because I just was lazy or ate 5 cheeseburgers and ff all the time, it happened, slowly, over time and I am a type 1 diabetic (as I've mentioned before), which makes losing weight even harder due to insulin being a fat storer, it's difficult to really explain how all that works here. I'm on keto and hoping for a turnaround soon...I have no other choice...but I will tell you one last thing...I'm a damn good woman with morals and values and if a man looks past me because of how I look right now...well, HE'S missing out on a good thing...and that's not ego...I just know my worth now and I need to have SOME confidence in who I am, otherwise, guys don't want that cuz a woman w/NO confidence isn't good either....I'd be a good catch and love a man properly....I'm not a feminazi sheep in this brainwashed world....and I believe men and women are supposed to support and learn from one another...not all this other crap.

It's mostly this younger generation but I've seen some older who are nasty and the men that are out there are no better there's lots of users. I've had young guys hit on me there's one who lives next door he's around your age he works for the town and makes good money I don't think he's looking for a mother figure I just think he's tired of being done wrong I'm not looking for anyone, but he sees I go to work come home he doesn't see men over here and I work hard in the yard on my days off. Anyway the guy is kinda stupid he's giving 2 kids his last name that he knew wasn't his this is 2 different women he's back & fourth with . The one he married but she got pregnant by someone else while they were just dating then he married her and separated over and over he's either desperate or stupid or both 😂.

One day I saw a really beautiful girl who was struggling to get through the door because she was carrying a lot of stuff and i helped her by opening the door and she didn't even say thank you. She gave me a weird look like I was some kind of a creep. Then she put her stuff down and saw that she was having a hard time putting a heavy cat litter into her vehicle and i approached her and offered her help just to be kind and she immediately said no. So I walked away respectfully and that was the last time I'll ever help any women. I was being nice and kind and offered her help but she just gave a look like I was trying to hit on her which I was not. All i was doing was showing her kindness. And now i don't even approach women or even look at them. I'm a fit dude that goes to the gym 5 days a week it's not like I'm overweight. I'm also not attractive but I do have a great personality. It's like no matter how nice and kind I'am to women they always seem to judge me different way. So I just focused on myself and tell myself that at least I have a job a place to go to and a nice car. So when I go somewhere where there's going to be women I just ignore them at the grocery stores and going to the gym to work out. To me I'm better off alone and save my money for the things I want to have like one day i want to have a sport car. Women these days aren't worth it anymore and it's sad.

A woman who refuses to let you open a door for her is not someone you want to know. Neither is a woman who is after your money. If she wakes up one morning and says “you’re in the doghouse!” Say “wait a minute!” You have a right to say she’s being unreasonable, and if she’s a decent person she will realize that and she’s going to be willing to discuss it. I think there’s some left but it may take a lot of looking.

I got remarried over 30 years now with my wife, but God forbid if something happens, I will not get married again. Thankfully this Marriage is good.

So first of all, I like this content Mike and its a great subject. If I may, let me tell you the other side to this, from a single mother who has a career and became successful without a man. I was raised by a single mom who had 6 children who's husband walked out when I was still in diapers. She taught me how to be strong, earn my own living, and raise my children to be educated and self-sufficient. I know ALOT of women like me who are strong and independent and can stand on their own two feet. Some men have come to resent strong women. They feel threatened and competitive instead of admiring and seeking out a strong female partner. Why is that? I see everyday men hanging out on the street corners instead of being at work. Riding bicycles around town, panhandling or otherwise doing ANYTHING but working a job. No offense, but how many women do you see riding around town on bicycles picking out cigarette butts from trash cans? The differences in the numbers is DRASTIC! So my question to you is this....why are men so afraid of strong independent females? Many of us had to be independent because the men in our lives abandoned us, used us, used money as leverage to keep us in unhealthy situations. Now we can earn money 💰 without them & it's BECAUSE of them. Please don't take this wrong, I do not hate men. I pity alot of them because they will die alone. Angry and bitter and blaming women for it. And no, I am not a cat lady, I'm in a very strong marriage (over 22 yrs ) with a successful man who earns more then myself, who admires my strengths and lifts up my weaknesses. I love men, but I don't like men who want women as arm candy or submissive sex slaves who never want to be challenged or disagreed with. Christian or not, men need to look for STRONG women to be their children's mother. Period end of story. That's my opinion, and I appreciate that you've shared your feelings on the subject. Just try to understand strong females ARE what men need for a successful family structure. ❤
@53block923 ай бұрын
I can guarantee you that men DO NOT need strong/independent women. We need a loving, caring, supporting woman who is loyal to her man at the end of the day, but those are so rare these days we are better off just staying away from the toxic femininity and holding on to the assets we have.

I agree with you totally! I love 1 man and we're in our 60's. Mutual respect and he is the man and I am the woman the way God intended. Our experience of the past taught us to work together. I was in auto parts, Truck driving and he was a hard worker and business owner. We just got married 2 years ago, both of us retired now. He had wives that took and I had husbands that took. Trust and respect before love. There's someone for you and only because I prayed and promised to be the wife role according to God, he gave me the right one. He's very protective, attentive and always makes sure I don't want for anything. But I'm frugal and put everyone else first. We're learning from each other and appreciating what both of us can offer. I'm sure you can find someone that good and has the right intentions. Pray about it and you'll find the right one just like you found your land. Faith is the key! PS, we met on Facebook! 😁

There are women who are protecting their peace as well, it seem men are always looking for younger women instead of their age group, which in turn so do some women seek younger men. Marriage it seems is no longer a sacred institution, today relationships have become strange and unbalanced, men with men and women with women and normal relationships between a man and a woman seems taboo. I can't speak for anyone else, but I had to learn how to live with myself, getting rid of those evil and mean thoughts helped me to see I am not a bad person for wanting to move forward alone. I as a Woman have been single for awhile, I have made great achievements and reached so many goals in life and continue to do so. I have three grown ups and they are my success story, now as a grandmother I have six Grandchildren. l look back and am ok that my faith in the giver of life and the strength to get me to where I am now. I have come to realize I AM ok just being with me and my faith in GOD ALMIGHTY. IF it was meant for me to be with someone, GOD WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN. Your young still and just stop looking, keep praying and moving forward and know for sure, God knows your heart, and she will come. God is always on time..
