  • The benefits of being single are real, and if you've never been intentionally single for an extended period of time, you might be hurting yourself. Being intentionally single can change your life forever...
    Being single and happy in your 30s is possible, I can tell you that from personal experience (I'm 35). AND I'll say that being single and happy is what ultimately led me to much greater success - in terms of relationships, friendships and financially too.
    In the past when I was single...
    I would constantly look for the next woman to connect with (on dating apps, at parties, etc), and I didn't put all of that energy into my business - which would have set me up for much greater success.
    I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS POSSIBLE
    Turns out that intentionally being single can be one of the most powerful and important experiences of your entire life. Being single is awesome for men because pursuing our purpose in life is INCREDIBLY important, and it can be challenging to do in relationship if you haven't first established a foundation of sovereignty and self love.
    If you're single, I highly recommend you go through an extended period of intentionally being single. Date yourself, go on hikes with yourself, journal, figure out why you are here, learn to love yourself without any relationship at all...
    AND THEN.... from that place of fully satisfied self-love, IF you choose to get into a relationship, your relationship will be MUCH better because you are going in from a place of sovereignty.
    Being single isn't bad.
    Being single can be healthy.
    Just focus on loving yourself and creating the life you want.
    When you create the life you want, getting into a relationship from that place will end up much better.
    Agree?

    Committing to date yourself before dating others has been one of the best decisions I’ve made, I think back on some of my past relationships and it’s clear I wasn’t comfortable enough with my self to approach them from a mature and grounded point of view. Also, “make finding your life purpose your life purpose” ... is absolute gold advice. Appreciate the content you’ve been putting out, thank you 🙏

      You don't have to do that in a relationship either. For me it was the mental clarity. I was always stressed out about not having enough "me" time and felt suffocated. Never got along with "her" plans day to day. My partner tried to accommodate this, but it never felt right. I love the freedom of being able to do whatever you want whenever you want. It makes life more enjoyable/spontaneous.
      Money wise, Dining out was the big expense. I probably covered 60% of the tabs, but she was better than most when it comes to that. I also enjoyed those meals, just wish we did it with less frequency.
      I was in the most chill, easy going, judgement free relationship, with a good person that I respect, and I still wasn't happy. The one weakness, is we didn't have enough friends and hobbies outside of our relationship. We never created an escape to socialize with other people and enjoy other peoples company.

    thank you for this video. im a 22yo woman who has never been in a relationship and is still a virgin, and it has always been a source of hurt and insecurity for me, always wondering why no ones interested, dealing with unrequited love, feeling awkward and nervous around men, jealousy bc all my friends have had multiple experiences except me, and ultimately drowning in a victim mentality. i would always feel sorry for myself and it just made things worse, because that lead to me being even more awkward and shy around men and pushing them away. changing my perspective and viewing being single as a choice, rather than some sad fate i cant control, is extremely liberating. i can already see changes in my attitude towards myself, other people, and life itself, and thats after a really short time. very excited to be on this journey and build the love and connection i have with myself and everyone around me. i hope everyone who reads this can find joy and happiness in whatever situation they are in, and see every day on this earth as a wonderful gift, single or not. much love to you all!

    It's awesome for women too. We need to change the stereotype that women just want to get in a relationship or get married to be happy. Personally I'm my happiest when I'm single (and when I say single I mean SINGLE -not having sex, not going on dates, not even chating with men). Now that I'm thinking about it, I've never been truly happy in any of my relationships. There was always something missing and I ended up leaving after a few months. On the other hand, when I'm by myself nothing feels like it's missing, I feel completely fulfilled, at peace and truly happy. I'm starting to think that relationships just aren't for me, and I'm perfectly ok with that💖

I met some amazing women and had some amazing sexual experiences. Now, I feel like that bucket is full. All my friends and family think I need to be finding someone to share life with, but that not the answer for me. I feel like I am better and sharper when single.

    Very refreshing. I’ve been completely single for twelve and a half years and during the middle of that time, experienced a profound change where I started to love it. It can be hard at times (missing touch, true love, connection, someone to “get” you, etc). It’s great to see a video like this in a society where most people can’t imagine being alone for even a year. Thank you for this and please keep making more videos for those of us who are dealing with the joys and challenges of being single. Cheers.

    Yup, I was in the same boat in 2019, focused too much on trying to get in a relationship or sex or just have someone with me, and wasn't focusing on my purpose (my music, and upping my game on my day job). As soon as the last girl broke it off with me, i tried dating again and just kept hitting roadblocks. After awhile, I started doing no fap and semen retention to the point where it's a part of my lifestyle now. Best decision I've made.

    When you are in your younger age, it is idealistic inspiring to be SINGLE throughout your life, but in your golden (old) age, dying in your bed, looking back, tears will fall from your eyes, and you wish you did the right thing... I have interviewed many single old people dying in their beds (mostly in the hospital) where I work, most of them are successful in life with their chosen field of careers but unanimously said, "DYING ALONE IS THE SADDEST PART OF THEIR LIFE."... and FRIENDS are nowhere to be found, but if you have a family of your own, even if your Spouse/Partner is not there for you (divorce), your own children or grandchildren will most probably by your side before you die... They unanimously said, "IF ONLY THEY CAN TURN BACK TIME."... unfortunately, SAD to say, "REGRETS ALWAYS COMES AT THE END."

    • @taylorclarkjohnson

    I can't overstate how much this resonates. Spent my 20s chasing women while working a job I didn't really like. I have nothing but gratitude for the women I met and had relationships with along the way, but the time has finally come for me to truly be by myself and create the life I want. I was running from myself through chasing and attracting women. Feels so good to just do me and really carve out a life of my own.

    Just found your channel, as a late bloomer my LTR of 11 years failed I was 44, (almost 48 now). Everything you stated was spot on! Younger men he is TOTALLY correct, date YOU, create YOU! When you reach your potential or on the right path you will be the most authentic you to bring into a potential relationship. But remember the self improvement and discovery never ends. After awhile the more you do the more you want to do because the reward is worth it.
    Enjoy, best to all! 👍 Anthony

    If you are single, please do not rush in finding a partner because love is not found-it is planted and cultivated until it grows. On the other hand, if you are in a relationship and you are going through some trials, be patient in working out the problems first before deciding to let go. Both being single and in a healthy relationship have beautiful benefits. You just need to figure out your season now. This way, you can enjoy your status without being pressured.

    I used to like a girl in high School. She was a junior I was a sophomore. One day I thought we should hang out together, so we hung out. Got to know each other by that time I got to know her for 7 months. He said no in a very harsh way. And after that she didn't even talk to me, she just basically ended our friendship. The guy she dated was a jerk. By the time we got to junior year of high school, she looked sad but I didn't care. By the time senior year came along she had came up to me and asked me out. For the first time in three years you finally talk to me, I told her no. The reason why is because the way she treated me, and she thought I was going to be her Fallout. I dropped out because of her. But at least my life is better. I'm 23 now was 18 when this happened I was a high schooler. Unfortunately I did see her again, and she wasn't doing so well. Step back with the man she dated in high school, and they got married and ever since then her life has been miserable. I probably should have helped her it was probably because of the guys she was into I didn't. I give up right after high school look for anyone to date just said screw it I'm going to stay single. Like I said I'm 23 now and I fucking love being single.

    Hi Taylor, first timer here. I am a single man, and I am a loner and I have Autism. I live a scrub lifestyle but also a low-key straight edge lifestyle as well. I never dated or fall in love with a woman or women in general because of my low self-esteem and also I been bullied by women because of my Autism and also a male relative of mine was killed by a gang of women and they had guns and he was the target of a drive by shooting. And also I see the toxic experience from my parents being in toxic marriages and also relationships. And even as a teenager to now, I made a vow to stay single and be alone and be free and wise and love myself more and also find me and learn more about myself. I never dated, never been to my high school prom, nor never married because of toxic experience from my parents because of a toxic ill-fated relationship environment and also I am still grieving after my male relative was killed. Not only was he killed, he was robbed of his riches, money and fame and wealth as well as his life. That really crushed me. It was from that day I learned from a toxic ill-fated experience, I made a vow and goal to stay single and be alone even when I am 100 years old, I would still be single, wise, old, and still live an extraordinary lifestyle to love myself more and when I die an old fart of a man. I be a happy single old man even til eternity. I don't date women nor men because they are toxic and are demonic devil worshippers and not only that, male and females get me paranoid and I'll be the next victim of red rum after the death of my relative. Even with my mental illness, I cannot fathom toxic people, they only want 2 things maybe actually four. Sex, money, stress, death, and murder. I ain't trying to get killed. I ain't trying to get an STD nor get anybody pregnant. Besides, I ain't trying to catch cooties by a woman or women in general nor a man. Haaaaaack!!!!!! Cooties. I got plenty of idol time to love myself more and find myself to learn about me, myself, and I. Why be in a relationship when u can have a relationship with yourself. I maybe a man in my mid-30's but Im a "baby" my damn self. I don't need no women or men. I need me, myself, and I and my money, money, money. No offense, but I believe that women should be with other women and as for a man to be gay. Better love you for you and to love the Almighty God and Jesus Christ. The only thing I love is me, myself and I and to love God Almighty and Jesus Christ and my money. Self love is the only best pure love like an innocence of the Almighty God. All I can say is love yourself because you are with yourself 24/7 and 48 hours a day everyday. And learn more about yourself. Everlasting love is to love yourself. And I am a male nun and u still ain't getting nun. I love myself to be single and safe and also man up about life and self desire to live alone. Enough said.

    Before i started dating my girl i thought to myself, should i let her in? ( I noticed she got emotional easily), i am so happy right now focused on meditation and spirituality, so said, I will let her in, she was chasing me and she was also into spirituality and meditation so I thought, great we can both do what I love and she will be a really relaxed person because she likes to meditate, 2 years later all she cares about is money and buying material things , spending moeny , zero emotional control and my emotional control although quite good went down the drain 😂😂.
    I learned the cause of my anxiety in the time with her, lack of sleep and overtraining at the gym. I went through an emotional relationship while on anxiety, now that i do not have anxiety and space from the relationship i feel like life is so easy haha. I started meditating because of anxiety but now i so not even need to, it is crazy how good i feel.

There are many parallels in my experience that align with what you've said and how you've lived. Of course we are all individuals with our own unique paths, but the general message, here, is in my view, a solid direction in discovering oneself and life destiny. And I also agree that this 'single' journey can lead, if one so choses, to more fulfilling 'relationship' than otherwise would be afforded without this 'journey'. Finding oneself, first and foremost, is the 'Key' to the fulfilled life.

And now I'm feeling alone not coz I'm not married, coz I miss my mom with who cared for me like no one else. I hate married guys and they piss me off even if they act friendly to me
