Everytime i watch Kevin Samuels I clean my room.....the guy just makes you want to be a better man, now I am washing my windows..all the way from Jamaica
I came back here today because this is probably the best interview of Kevin Samuels and addresses a lot of the misconceptions people have to this today about what KS was teaching. RIP you will be missed but the work and your legacy continue
I agree that this is a great interview of him. It’s balanced, tone is great, intelligent conversation and he’s still honest. Most of what he’s known for (how I heard about him) is being harsh to women.
@@Goku_Kiyosaki Not confusing them at all. He at times said things that I don’t think he fully believed and was rude. BUT that type of energy contributed to his growing audience. In this video, he just seemed to make more sense and better expressed an understanding of behaviors.
im a 17 year old and i just want to say that im happy i can see stuff like this because i was raised with all women and it was hard to find male role models but through finding these channels i can see what men should be and i thank you both also im a student carpenter and i dont really see alot of content which shows the value blue collar work
Carpentry is a high value trade. At 25 you can have your own company, great income, and a completely sustainable future (housing is always needed). At the same age you will see graduates coming out of college with $100k debt and working insecure jobs in horrible cubicle conditions. Watch the film "Office Space".
Man I don’t even listen to vids on how to pull women it’s all about being a man and finding and staying on your purpose. We need more vids like these..
Yep. You can spend all your time and energy on trying to "pull" women and get nowhere with any. On the other hand, if you spend all or most of your time and energy on making more money, self improvement, etc., you SHOULD end up with more money and becoming a better person. It's all about striving to become the best versions of themselves and stay on your purpose.
Shalom! Greetings; I'm going through this with family; it eventually comes down to who's usually looking up when it comes to economics; I picked this one up when taking gold nuggets from Dr. Claud Anderson- (Powernomics) to name one book from this amazing historian.
Lets blaim women for them getting upset at you hitting on other women... yea blaim women for that, Im sure they would blaim them for them cheating on them to!
Men also create women they complain about. If it wasn't for all the simps and free validation dudes throw around, then woman wouldn't feel as entitled.
@@2442-w8d I'm also 34 - and I've been thinking exactly this lately...but it's definitely not over: it's just the beginning of greatness. Let's get to work - all the best👊🏿💯
As man who stumbled upon Samuels by the grace of the youtube algorithm gods, what I can definitely say is that his idea of what it means to be a high value man was a worthy goal to strive for. The mind set, resources, and appearance are all things I found appealing and I wanted that for myself. And when I began to start applying some of things he talked about into my own life I saw and felt a definite improvement in how I felt about myself and how others perceived me. But the key thing to keep in mind, is EVEN IF you fall short of that "high value" status, you will still be in a way better place than where you were before you started that journey. Stay blessed y'all
Well the only reason you wouldn't be in a "high value status" is because you can only absorb so much for clips of videos. Everything he's taking about is based on principles. So when you what his videos - activity search for the principles involved, and use that is multiple aspects of your life!
@@BlackMamba-gx4zl Because he was a black man speaking and dealing mostly to/with black people, of course everyone could learn something from KS's messages, but black folks aren't going to silence OUR openness for our affinity with and for our people. Damn, it's not rocket science.
@@ojames1983 yes, he was speaking and dealing mostly to/with black people, and it's ironic that black women were his biggest and loudest critics, because black women don't like the truth, but that can be true about most women.....we lost a great man.
A bunch of bitter Black men here. Fellas, work on leveling up. You will be much happier, and will actually be able to attract women. You won’t feel the need to whine and complain about women online.
That's the biggest thing I've benefited from since finding him. He gave concrete numbers and business expectations for what is necessary for what I want for my family goals.
People used to laugh at me when I would say, I'm not dating a man with children. I don't have any so, why would I want that headache regardless if she's moved on . From what I've witnessed there was always some issue. Appreciate this conversation. Respect.
Nze Ibekwe-Uche Americans are “OVER CASUAL”, b/c we wore suits and dresses all-day every day, what? 100 YEARS AGO 😳 and up until like the 50s/60s! Ya’ll HELLA LATE! 🙄💃🏽🕺🏽✨ lol
R.I.p Kevin samuels!! You’re videos will help generation after generation on how to raise men and woman standards and self worth. Your videos are a library of knowledge and truth (although can be hard to swallow is essential for growth)
@meh Yes, I would because I appreciate honesty, I share Kevin's videos with all my female and male friends. I believe perspective from others, contributes to the growth of others. Yeah, Kevin can be a little rough but this era is softer than cotton. So, a little tough love won't hurt. I have listened to Kevin and lost more weight this year than last year. I was a size 16 now I am a 10, all from listening to The Godfather. Look, I know it's hard to believe the praises coming from a black woman but I want to get married so I understand that men are the consumers of women and not the other way around. I willing to compete in the dating market and I am not afraid to say so. #Size4OntheHorizon
Man, I'm 27 living in NY and I got to realize, like damn, this was the uncle I NEEDED! Thank You Mr. Samuels. I realize I'm behind and this is important.
Rest up kevin , this my first video watching and teaching . I learned alot over the pass year and a half from you . Im back to watch the entire video and remember where it started from . May you rest in peace and thanks for building up another high valued man . Ive learned father figure advice from this man and carried it over to my professionalisms.. thank you kevin and thank you roomates , ive stepped up my goals and how i carry myself 20x . LLKEVINSAMUELS 🕊🕊🕊
That’s me! I didn’t realize in walking to my purpose until I was in my mid-50s I have never been more happier and more satisfied. I am in my gifts what God created me for I can lose sleep food whatever it takes I love doing it
That's not necessarily true. There are plenty of people who know they are thieves, know why they steal, know how to steal and enjoy doing it. They're far from being happy.
Another statement that hit hard "Women are not used to being told the truth"....makes me realize now how accustomed some of us are to being lied to and then we stay in that "place" and have a hard time coming out of it when someone finally tells us the truth
Great comment to go with 💎s drop in the vid. All women favor ex machina 🎥 of once a woman get told the truth/held accountable responsible + to be overly submissibe and have order > chaos that very woman snaps & try to end the one who told her and made her live in truth
Thank you for this segment I needed to hear this im turning 30 next month. Im a single black man with no kids working at a warehouse needing to reinvent myself. I truly thank y'all for these segments.
"All these men want me". They will leave husbands/serious BF for attention from the streets. Never confuse short term sexual attention with long-term intention. Thank you, I don't know why women don't get this.
@R L "I don't know why women don't get this"....anytime you imply ALL in reference to human nature, you have committed a fallacy, an untruth. Some women get it.
@@HoneyBee4163 every woman has orbitors in the friendzone and random guys in her DMs, but not all women fall for the okey-doke. I said women, not all women, so these are the ones I'm speaking of.
“The happiest people are the ones who know why they are doing what they are doing, and they like it.” This is very true. I was a career woman and was on track to get everything I worked for in that field, but I found myself at 27 asking why was I doing this, and got very uncomfortable when I couldn’t answer that question. When I figured out I wanted to be a mom more than anything, I confided in my husband about our “plan,” and said look this is what will make me happier.It turns out my husband was also question why he was grinding so much in his career, traveling 5 days a week and barely seeing me. He also needed more meaning out of it all. I’m now a stay at home mom to our 4 month old son.After the birth of our baby and needing to support us that gave my husband the kick he needed and he got promoted 8 weeks later. Now he has an even more high profile position and gets to be home with us every night. We are both much happier.
Stormie Weather hopefully so. It took me awhile to be open minded to this tbh. I was very stubborn and stuck in my way. But I now see this is all hard truths. Can’t beat that he’s giving us free game and wanting us to win within our own community. It’s time 🙌🏿
@@akb602 Young lady don't go back and forth with that rico he is not the kind of men that KS talks this rice is an incel they even call to KS to insult lol ignore those women hater like the incel rico
Been in 2023 and realising the essence and longevity that his words have is just astonishing. He solidified his position on earth. Rest In Peace to Mr Samuels❤️🕊I’m just 18 but the impact this man has had on me is great. I appreciate you Sir🙏🏽
I think that's common sense that a man is to carry most the weight ....us women are the neck/spine not the head or body which definitely holds our men up
You would think this is common sense but as my great grand ma and grand ma and ma says... Its not that common. A lot of growth would ld come out of people just using sense... Anyways your comment is so in point.
@@estherngongi3977 I think it's that women have to be more willing. Obviously, if we are used to carrying the burden no man in his right mind expects you to automatically know how to relinquish it and trust him. Trust is earned. But we also have to consider a high value true Alpha with his shit together isn't going to go back and forth with you. He will just find the type of woman he looking for because he knows he can and he knows what he deserves. This is a very necessary part of the hypergamy conversation that's not being had.
My husband and I listen to Kevin Samuels regularly. He consistently drops real, truth, & paradigm challenging content to his audience for both men and women. People may have an ”issue” or get in their feeling about his delivery, but his patience to really help people always shows through and the facts that he lays out for people cannot be denied.
"When you're trying to build real wealth, two is better than one." Great interview men....love the suits. Looking forward to more collaborations like this!
Carry the torch now and share that light with others, that’s all we can do now, that light shall bring warmth, wisdom, and vision to see a better future.
@@anthonysmith8810 you damn right I am. I been doing it before Mr. Samuels. I'm just glad someone like him existed in the internet space and got as much recognition to spread the knowledge on such a global scale.
This was a great interview. I had only started hearing of Mr. Samuels a few weeks ago and had a negative opinion based on small sound bites. I thought he was cruel to women based on these short clips. However, actually hearing him in full in this interview changed my opinion. He is telling the honest truth. I am married and older but if I was a young woman I would be soaking up this info.
Interesting that he said after age 7 that sons should be around their fathers because in islam if you are divorced the child has to live with their father at the age of 7. Hate it or love it but this brother makes some key points and his honesty is remarkable.
As a lifelong Muslim, I have to add that if the mother remarries before the child (boy or girl) turns 7 years old, the father automatically takes custody (unless he’s abusive, incarcerated, or engages in major sins). Islam respects lineage and recognizes that children are better raised by men who have a biological tie to them. Also, Islam teaches that the closet thing a child has to his/her father is the paternal grandfather and uncle.
As I respect cultural differences, SOME men are not in their children's lives because there could be drama with the ex, he's in jail, some men just don't know how to be a father. I've raised my son and ensured he had positive male role models. He has a relationship with his father, but that's a territory that I don't foster and I've never done any drama with my ex-husband.
I finally got a chance to sit and watch this episode in its entirety. This one is definitely one for the books. Hafeez asked all the important questions and Kevin provided such essential information. This is one of his best interviews yet. RIP Kevin and thank you, Roommates, for this gem.
Who bringing it back..... Women dont want marriage, they want nothing. They in every moment of the day and of their lives all at the same time and expect one result from different time periods with lack of comprehension, patience and what love really is about ( Love isnt an emotion).
Aso Kurd If it’s a strong relationship divorce either A) isn’t an option or B) a contingency has been discussed. Marriage isn’t the problem, it’s people. The law is definitely a big problem, however, people need to evaluate their self and the people they court. Boundaries, goals, hobbies, individuality, planning, and other aspects of partnership come to mind.
My father inspired me to push myself academically. He taught me not to beg or borrow. Save and invest. The obsession with material things is unfortunate. Do what you love and money will follow. I married a woman that I loved talking to . 25 years later we’re still enjoying life .
Incredibly insightful and I get a more complete understanding of Mr. Samuels’ perspective. He really does have an understanding of how men and women are wired. Great show!
This man really got us watching 2 hour videos every day and following him into different channels. Didn’t even hit me til the host brought that up lmao
I am into health and fitness. I have always strived to keep a healthy BMI. I am from Los Angeles so I grew up watching the women in my family working out. However when I lived in the south more often than not I had men SHAME me for going to the gym, eating healthy, and keeping a nice appearance. I graduated from a sec university. These are men in that community. They are out here encouraging you to be big and telling you not to keep yourself up. Please tell them to stop this. They will tell a black woman to gain weight but marry a woman from another culture because of her appearance. Make it make sense. Some truly dont understand the damage they're imposing on women. Some of those women stay overweight because they're convinced that being "thick" is what's required. Let's address the hypocrisy of those standards.
Fact. Those men are the one that are insecure and don't have the heart to get to the gym . Understand that no everyone will wanna see you level up. but as long as you know you're on the right path, their options shouldn't even matter to you . Please these beautiful black women that we love them, but we can't have them if they ain't willing to put in the work yo attract us first physical for no just one night
Those men are called bums. They don't want to have to put in the work to get a woman who takes care of herself so they try to encourage her to stay at her level or drop a few pegs instead of being her personal best as a woman. Best thing to do is just ignore those guys and concentrate on men who are actually going somewhere with their lives like the men Kevin describes. There is no "telling them to stop this", you just remove them from your circles.
I dunno... he’s a life style coach, one of those fluff gig jobs. Don’t be fooled by the suit. He’s better than most, but I’m catching a faint hint of dust
Angel Jackson Glad I’m not the only one. A real man talks about news/current events, his hobbies and passions, etc. I don’t trust men who only use their platform to bash
This was a really refreshing conversation to hear as a woman. Women should hold themselves to the standards they expect/desire from men, and vice versa. When we work on ourselves, the effects are multiplied externally.
Nice to see Kevin reflecting on his grade 3 & grade 6 teachers being male. As a primary school teacher, I hope I have that same positive impact on some of the young kids who come through my classroom over the years.
Kevin making more and more traction.....respect💪🏾🤝🏽 His show has been getting better week by week. His platform holds both men and women accountable. Both sides have to do the work to get what they say they want. As far as delivery, the truth is harsh and considered "degrading" to too many people. But in this day of everyone being coddled and offended....we need the cold hard truth. Pay attention to the message 🔴
As a black woman this man is spot on! Just like too many black men have gone fatherless so has women. I haven't heard a man call a woman fat since my grandfather😂😂😂...and he was the epitome of being a strong black man leading his family. Too many men are having there masculinity crushed instead of cultivated and bridled. Too many women are taking on the role of men out of necessity and we are losing. When I got married I looked high and low for what 'respect' meant to a man. Very few people would speak on it as if was oppressive to women. I had a definition of respect but it wasn't working for my husband bc it was the wrong definition and most of the married women I looked to had no idea themselves. I had to look back to the things my grandmother said to me that I thought was outdated. We need more of this not just through youtube but directly in the home. This is my first time hearing this gentleman and boy oh boy I wish there were more of him. We don't hear this enough.
My husband had to tell me what respecting him meant. In my case, it meant being more agreeable, less argumentative, and not dissecting and correcting every little thing he says and does. I am learning to inspire him to do things, instead of nagging him about them. Nagging doesn't work, ladies! Use the carrot instead of the stick. ;) BW have to be open to listening to what BM have to say, and changing our behaviors.
Once drugs entered our community, our whole structure fell apart. Drugs is the most destructive thing that separated children from parents. Grandma became mom, while mom is high on drugs & dad is in prison.
Man this is great...the truth down the middle...i respect those who tell you the truth rather than a bold face lie to spare ones feelings...will definitely be watching more of this channel...definitely need this type of energy on my timeline my brothers
This is a great interview and a "must see" talk among 2 articulate, intelligent, well dressed, well spoken, men, that have a good grasp on what Black men and Black women need.
Thank you thank you thank you!!!! When my ex-husband and I divorced my 9 yo son went to him. I got no support from anyone but I saw the need of him being with his father to learn and grow. I do get him every other Christmas, spring breaks and summers so I am still able to nurture him so he knows how to be treated correctly by a woman. I loved this episode and received many pings on why the WHY things have happened to me.
Hey sis!! As a mom, I know that was hard. I made the same decision when my son was 9. His dad went to prison and he came back to me, he's 29 now and still angry and bitter, arrested in his development. His dad is out of prison now, but he's only been out for 4 years now. Their relationship is strained, our relationship doesn't exist.
This man, Kevin Samuels is a jewel, A GEM. So many valuable information, just great. The best thing about what Kevin is talking about on his channel is calling out men too, and giving honest advice what's expected from men in order to get certain outcome for life.
Solid interview 👏🏾 FYI about individual income levels as of 2018 stats: Top 10% $158,002+ Top 5% $309,348+ Top 1% $737,697+ Top .01% $2,808,104+ * Source: Economic Policy Institute; Drawn from Social Security Administration
@Salchih - But that does not take into account cost of living index and household median yearly salary/income. $158k a year leaves you a bit of breathing room in a city like DC/N. VA, San Francisco, Honolulu, Hawaii, but the same career, careers for a joint earned household, that pays 6 figures in those cities will pay less in cities like Memphis, Gulf Port, Oklahoma City. Using that Economic Policy Institute information is no different than women using figures to show that they earn less than men, due to the number of factors that are just as important as the narrative.
Jack Spade Yes, the figures are an aggregate of the 50 states. It is each individuals’ responsibility to be aware of their local MSA data (neighborhood; zip code; state; industry; career/job/position). The issue is the majority of people aren’t aware and/or don’t care to learn. I reside in Arlington, VA...
@@The_Equalizer23 - But trying to determine what the top income earners are making is the legendary moving target in Black culture. Back in the 60's it was getting a college degree and living in the better part of town. In the 80's it was breaking the glass ceiling of middle and upper management, and living in the burbs, now it's what the top income earners are making to include the illusive "6 Figure Income". The more we play this game, the further we dig our own hole.
News to the haters...attacking Kevin instead of his argument only makes his position stronger. Offer evidence to the contrary to gain more credibility.
Rx - Pert Thats just the women who aren’t used to be told the raw and uncut truth. I find, whenever I debate any woman regarding relationships they never argue with cognitive logic. They argue with their emotions on their sleeves. They never attack the main points you make, neither can they call your statements untrue. They just shame and attack you and hope to get you to stop saying it.
The Channel they just different sometimes I don’t understand them. And they have this ability to start an argument and when they c you winning w/ logic like u said they make you feel bad for being right lmaoo it’s crazy🤣
Wow,Kevin dropped gold. One nugget of gold was him stating the fact that women want to be independent and men are now used to just hooking up and now we have people living alone and paying more living expenses. When instead, a couple could share living space and are stronger together, just like tax breaks for married couples. 2020 to 2030 is gonna be a very interesting decade.
I don't think he needs that validation. The biggest consumers of mainstream content are women, which is why the superstars pander to them. KS doesn't pander. That will be a hindrance, unless he compromises his message.
Kory Green FACTS! Either water down your message and bend the knee or stay on these spaces and ball out WITH integrity! I hope Kevin goes for the latter.
This was so good. I'm about to join Kevin's Facebook group now. Between this episode & the one with AMS, I'm learning so much about men. I'm going to make my fitness & eating even more of a priority now. One thing I really loved was how Kevin said men should lead financially. I think a lot of women would be willing to take care of themselves better aka lose weight if they could be free from having to carry households & financial burdens all alone.
@@gabntumba2434 There is absolutely no need to respond to that lady that way. She commented about how she wanted to better herself and you felt the need to swear at her and basically demean her by saying she didn't listen properly and proceeded to give her a list of things YOU deem acceptable that she did not ask you for. Your comment is absolutely unacceptable and your advice was certainly not warranted in that manner. Sir taking your frustrations out on innocent bystanders online looking to better themselves is not very alpha, it shows lack of class which I think is the opposite of the alpha male you may be trying to portray.
@@gabntumba2434 The truth hurts sure, but there is no need to talk to someone like that who didn't ask for your advice. That's my point. Truth doesn't involve swearing at a stranger who has already identified their weakness. That is bullying, she didn't ask for your list on what a high value man wants - you are a total stranger on youtube with no credentials to back up why you feel you are in position to speak down to someone like that. Your comment was totally uncalled for. I'm in a very happy hypergamous relationship myself. So you can miss me with that ridiculous comment on men not wanting to commit to me. I'm all for submission however, no woman wants to submit to a bully in your case which is why you are probably single and in no position to be giving relationship advice anyway. That is my assumption from the way you jumped down that lady's throat like a hungry shark looking for prey. Your comment to me gives off a vibration of lack. Where is your submissive woman? Are you married? What are your credentials that qualify you to offer unwarranted relationship advice?
@Benaiah, BW don’t want “independence “. BW are just playing the hands we are dealt. In many cases, that requires an “I have to handle everything by myself” attitude, because there are no BM around who are willing or able to help. It’s a survival mechanism.
When you asked Kevin about what he’s learned from his former marriage, I appreciated how he took full accountability for HIS part of why the marriage dissolved. He didn’t spend any time blaming, he just focused on where he has grown and learned.
As a pushing 40, happily married, stay at home/home schooling mom; I have no idea why this video came across my feed. But I cried, laughed, cried and laughed again. I took some notes, and thought about how as a mom, I’m raising my son. Though he has a wonderful father. And then I sent this to 3 of my brothers ( youngest is 22) to let them know that there is actual guidance out there. Thank you.
I'm a persian-canadian guy and I love kevin samuels. The things he teaches transcend race and apply to everyone. Women are the same everywhere in the world. And the characteristics of a high value man is also pretty universal.
This podcast and this channel is awesome. I can't even believed it is owned by a Nigerian. Am joel, am a Nigerian, I stay in port Harcourt but am from Akwa Ibom State. More grace bro
We tell our kids they can do and be anything they want but we don’t often enough provide perspective or caveats. The truth is that ambition is great but you have to find what’s right for you. I feel most of us leave the house without any knowledge on perspective.
I love the fact that he speaks, finances, wardrobe, character and longevity. A lot of folks are not emotionally available for relationships, wait until you are...
You'll be fine Sis! The fact that you know who he is and don't hate him puts you ahead of the curve. Keep watching his shows and stay off Derrick Jaxn channel.
Hafeez, I am standing up and giving you an ovation for this interview, my brother. Your growth in your interview skills is truly shining and having your research details solid with such a well established guest, you held your own and then some. I am a renewed fan. Bravo. A++ grade interview.
Every man in the world should be obligated to watch this video. Thanks for putting this type of content out, we need our community to go the way it should and this type of videos just make me smile. Great information is shared here. I hope we as men share this content with our buddies.
Love this video. Kevin Samuels gets a lot of flack for his direct approach. It comes in handy. We have learn how to receive the harsh truth. It helps us build our character. Healthy relationships go a long way.
That's why most men are satisfied without having money if they broke, that's why they enjoy fishing, sitting in the yard with grill going. Women ( mostly) have to be doing something or entertain. Once men cant or dont dance they want to leave or complain.
I am so happy you mentioned "The Millionaire Next Door"! That is one of my favorite books. I've even gifted it to my friends who are single and married. Great discussion overall!
Great interview, kevin is right, if you want to change your financial situation, you have to work, try things and fail. I wasnt struggling but i knew if i wanted a family i had to make more money. So i tried affiliate marketing, that didnt work, i tried my own business selling products, that didnt work, i tried youtube and that didnt work, but doing all of that work led me to connections and now I'm a certified information security analyst, I know a few programming languages and a SQL developer studying for my interview. Not going to stop here, my goal is to make 7 figures and I'm excited on the new connections and friends I will make a long the way. Kevin was one of my inspirations although i didnt like what he was saying at first, but we have to improve on ourself if we want the best outcomes in life and it takes work.
I'm a woman and I'm here to collect some gems and learn from this man whom is praised by others. He is speaking a lot of truth and sense, I can see what he sees by just observing life. Thanks for the video!
Really enjoy this content. I'm subscribed to him and have found it so insightful. So many channels pander to women. I appreciate his honesty. I've learned so much about myself by reflecting on what's said. Great interview! Keep up the great work 👍🏾
I think the biggest hurdle for so many young people today in relation to the discussion at 1:35:20 is that "the dream" we often have isn't something that is necessarily going to come true. Things aren't going to be perfect, so build a pragmatic skill set and work towards something that you believe worth playing the long game TODAY and not tomorrow. Was a hard pill for me to swallow for a long time. Still hurts sometimes, but reality needs to be seen as the cold and hard it is. Thanks for the content.
I can’t lie, when I first clicked into Kevin Samuels channel I was like I can’t stand this guy, but I kept listening because I realized it was the truth of men although I didn’t want to hear it. When I realized that Kevin really isn’t trying to be harmful but helpful, no matter how blunt and abrasive it may seem, that’s when I really started to be ok with him. Something he said really made me sad when I saw the truth of it. He said something like, black men want to date black women, black women know black men like to see a woman who is in shape, it is like a slap in the face that we refuse to give him what he likes. A few weeks later I was in a grocery store and there were at least 6 fairly attractive black men, and though they were not ripped you can tell they work out. There were about 6 of us black women in the store in similar age ranges and nice looking in the face, but by the BMI we are all considered obese. It was like dang... we gotta do better... it is hard to hear but the truth is the truth.
The comical thing is that every single one of those women would think they are “better” than the fit men. It’s why they are single and won’t be getting married.
Im also listening man videos, comment section sometimes is very toxic, but what kevin says is interesting, sometimes we as woman are contradicting ourselves and i understand why we are called pathetic. I also watch videos about "level up" from woman, i love them but is smarter to hear both sides, so you dont bias on just one opinion

Trust me that is a needed field. Make sure you learn everything about that industry.
Carpentry is a high value trade. At 25 you can have your own company, great income, and a completely sustainable future (housing is always needed). At the same age you will see graduates coming out of college with $100k debt and working insecure jobs in horrible cubicle conditions.

Just keep your grind on homie and save your money!! Money is security my friend.
Man I don’t even listen to vids on how to pull women it’s all about being a man and finding and staying on your purpose. We need more vids like these..
Yep. You can spend all your time and energy on trying to "pull" women and get nowhere with any. On the other hand, if you spend all or most of your time and energy on making more money, self improvement, etc., you SHOULD end up with more money and becoming a better person. It's all about striving to become the best versions of themselves and stay on your purpose.
You are absolutely correct but let's not kid ourselves: Game is not always the answer but it IS a necessary skill.
Women can't stand men that just want to pull something.

As man who stumbled upon Samuels by the grace of the youtube algorithm gods, what I can definitely say is that his idea of what it means to be a high value man was a worthy goal to strive for. The mind set, resources, and appearance are all things I found appealing and I wanted that for myself. And when I began to start applying some of things he talked about into my own life I saw and felt a definite improvement in how I felt about myself and how others perceived me. But the key thing to keep in mind, is EVEN IF you fall short of that "high value" status, you will still be in a way better place than where you were before you started that journey. Stay blessed y'all
Get it!
I stumbled on him the same way 2 months ago lol. At first I thought he was clownin n jokin then I kept listening and he was droppin it!
Acts 16:1-7
Well said
Well the only reason you wouldn't be in a "high value status" is because you can only absorb so much for clips of videos. Everything he's taking about is based on principles. So when you what his videos - activity search for the principles involved, and use that is multiple aspects of your life!

“The happiest people are the ones who know why they are doing what they are doing, and they like it.” This is very true. I was a career woman and was on track to get everything I worked for in that field, but I found myself at 27 asking why was I doing this, and got very uncomfortable when I couldn’t answer that question. When I figured out I wanted to be a mom more than anything, I confided in my husband about our “plan,” and said look this is what will make me happier.It turns out my husband was also question why he was grinding so much in his career, traveling 5 days a week and barely seeing me. He also needed more meaning out of it all. I’m now a stay at home mom to our 4 month old son.After the birth of our baby and needing to support us that gave my husband the kick he needed and he got promoted 8 weeks later. Now he has an even more high profile position and gets to be home with us every night. We are both much happier.
stick together no matter what, don't lose your happiness
That’s beautiful! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@@HarrisPilton789 you can say that again but then they want you to snap and be all feminine all in one... 🤦🏾♀️
@@estherngongi3977 I think it's that women have to be more willing. Obviously, if we are used to carrying the burden no man in his right mind expects you to automatically know how to relinquish it and trust him. Trust is earned. But we also have to consider a high value true Alpha with his shit together isn't going to go back and forth with you. He will just find the type of woman he looking for because he knows he can and he knows what he deserves.
This is a very necessary part of the hypergamy conversation that's not being had.
My husband and I listen to Kevin Samuels regularly. He consistently drops real, truth, & paradigm challenging content to his audience for both men and women. People may have an ”issue” or get in their feeling about his delivery, but his patience to really help people always shows through and the facts that he lays out for people cannot be denied.
So glad men are catching up! The black community is coming up! Slowly, but surely it will happen.

@@anthonysmith8810 you damn right I am. I been doing it before Mr. Samuels. I'm just glad someone like him existed in the internet space and got as much recognition to spread the knowledge on such a global scale.
This was a great interview. I had only started hearing of Mr. Samuels a few weeks ago and had a negative opinion based on small sound bites. I thought he was cruel to women based on these short clips. However, actually hearing him in full in this interview changed my opinion. He is telling the honest truth. I am married and older but if I was a young woman I would be soaking up this info.
Exactly.
Interesting that he said after age 7 that sons should be around their fathers because in islam if you are divorced the child has to live with their father at the age of 7. Hate it or love it but this brother makes some key points and his honesty is remarkable.
Islam has some outstanding grounded rules for human relationships. I respect the principles and traditions I've been exposed to.
As a lifelong Muslim, I have to add that if the mother remarries before the child (boy or girl) turns 7 years old, the father automatically takes custody (unless he’s abusive, incarcerated, or engages in major sins). Islam respects lineage and recognizes that children are better raised by men who have a biological tie to them. Also, Islam teaches that the closet thing a child has to his/her father is the paternal grandfather and uncle.
It's not just Islam. Many cultures predating Islam believed in separating boys from their mothers at 7. One notable example is Sparta.
Well Mohammad married Hazrat Aisha at the age of 9, so I think I’ll take my logic from today’s times than centuries ago. Thanks, but no thanks.
As I respect cultural differences, SOME men are not in their children's lives because there could be drama with the ex, he's in jail, some men just don't know how to be a father. I've raised my son and ensured he had positive male role models. He has a relationship with his father, but that's a territory that I don't foster and I've never done any drama with my ex-husband.
I finally got a chance to sit and watch this episode in its entirety. This one is definitely one for the books. Hafeez asked all the important questions and Kevin provided such essential information. This is one of his best interviews yet. RIP Kevin and thank you, Roommates, for this gem.
Powerful episode. I’m glad he talked about the importance of marriage. We bringing marriage back!
Only people to talk about marriage are those that have been in a successful marriage for 15+ years.
Who bringing it back.....
Women dont want marriage, they want nothing. They in every moment of the day and of their lives all at the same time and expect one result from different time periods with lack of comprehension, patience and what love really is about ( Love isnt an emotion).
Love is a commitment
Aso Kurd If it’s a strong relationship divorce either A) isn’t an option or B) a contingency has been discussed. Marriage isn’t the problem, it’s people. The law is definitely a big problem, however, people need to evaluate their self and the people they court. Boundaries, goals, hobbies, individuality, planning, and other aspects of partnership come to mind.
Amen!!!!

LMAOO!!
Life changing videos, which is great content.
Solid session. Thorough.
I am into health and fitness. I have always strived to keep a healthy BMI. I am from Los Angeles so I grew up watching the women in my family working out. However when I lived in the south more often than not I had men SHAME me for going to the gym, eating healthy, and keeping a nice appearance. I graduated from a sec university. These are men in that community. They are out here encouraging you to be big and telling you not to keep yourself up. Please tell them to stop this.
They will tell a black woman to gain weight but marry a woman from another culture because of her appearance. Make it make sense. Some truly dont understand the damage they're imposing on women. Some of those women stay overweight because they're convinced that being "thick" is what's required. Let's address the hypocrisy of those standards.
NaKima agreed sis, somewhere along line thick got mixed up with being overweight. Two different realities.
Girl you said a mouth full,you are not lying ... I only get skinny shamed by black women in the south it’s so sad
Fact. Those men are the one that are insecure and don't have the heart to get to the gym . Understand that no everyone will wanna see you level up. but as long as you know you're on the right path, their options shouldn't even matter to you . Please these beautiful black women that we love them, but we can't have them if they ain't willing to put in the work yo attract us first physical for no just one night
The "thic" concept has been severely detrimental.
Those men are called bums. They don't want to have to put in the work to get a woman who takes care of herself so they try to encourage her to stay at her level or drop a few pegs instead of being her personal best as a woman. Best thing to do is just ignore those guys and concentrate on men who are actually going somewhere with their lives like the men Kevin describes. There is no "telling them to stop this", you just remove them from your circles.
As a woman, I’m in listen-mode...
Me too. 👀
Me too!
Me too ! I have gained so much knowledge!!!
I dunno... he’s a life style coach, one of those fluff gig jobs. Don’t be fooled by the suit.
He’s better than most, but I’m catching a faint hint of dust
Angel Jackson Glad I’m not the only one. A real man talks about news/current events, his hobbies and passions, etc. I don’t trust men who only use their platform to bash
This was a really refreshing conversation to hear as a woman. Women should hold themselves to the standards they expect/desire from men, and vice versa. When we work on ourselves, the effects are multiplied externally.
Great interview. Bottom line is men and women need each other. We’ve got to get back to the basics. Love it!
PBJ sandwich for the opportunity to be there
When he said: "Most of us stop ranking ourselves when we stop being measure by others" it was big for me. Thank you ")
Wow, I expected to hear some good points, but this is pure gold. It's uncommon to have so much truth and wisdom in a free youtube video.
Nice to see Kevin reflecting on his grade 3 & grade 6 teachers being male.
As a primary school teacher, I hope I have that same positive impact on some of the young kids who come through my classroom over the years.
Kevin making more and more traction.....respect💪🏾🤝🏽
His show has been getting better week by week.
His platform holds both men and women accountable. Both sides have to do the work to get what they say they want.
As far as delivery, the truth is harsh and considered "degrading" to too many people. But in this day of everyone being coddled and offended....we need the cold hard truth.
Pay attention to the message 🔴
As a black single woman I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation! Real is real and it’s important to have honest dialogue.
Hi
“Dreams are over when you wake up” oh man that the mothereffin truth
As a black woman this man is spot on! Just like too many black men have gone fatherless so has women. I haven't heard a man call a woman fat since my grandfather😂😂😂...and he was the epitome of being a strong black man leading his family. Too many men are having there masculinity crushed instead of cultivated and bridled. Too many women are taking on the role of men out of necessity and we are losing. When I got married I looked high and low for what 'respect' meant to a man. Very few people would speak on it as if was oppressive to women. I had a definition of respect but it wasn't working for my husband bc it was the wrong definition and most of the married women I looked to had no idea themselves. I had to look back to the things my grandmother said to me that I thought was outdated. We need more of this not just through youtube but directly in the home. This is my first time hearing this gentleman and boy oh boy I wish there were more of him. We don't hear this enough.
My husband had to tell me what respecting him meant. In my case, it meant being more agreeable, less argumentative, and not dissecting and correcting every little thing he says and does. I am learning to inspire him to do things, instead of nagging him about them. Nagging doesn't work, ladies! Use the carrot instead of the stick. ;) BW have to be open to listening to what BM have to say, and changing our behaviors.
@real talk listen Let me guess, you’re single? When i hear a man whining about women, the word INCEL just floats into my mind.
I look at this interview at least twice a year to keep me focused on my goals
Once drugs entered our community, our whole structure fell apart.
Drugs is the most destructive thing that separated children from parents.
Grandma became mom, while mom is high on drugs & dad is in prison.
The decline of black America goes back to welfare, the war on drugs hurt too but it wasn't the cause of the catastrophe.
The nwo saw how good it worked on the blacks now they did the heroin to the whites. Break up the family let big government be daddy and make the rules
I’ve said this before. As black peopke our relationship skills suck
72% single mother rate says it all
The 2018 unwed mother rate is 69.4%, so we’re moving in the right direction.

Thank you thank you thank you!!!! When my ex-husband and I divorced my 9 yo son went to him. I got no support from anyone but I saw the need of him being with his father to learn and grow. I do get him every other Christmas, spring breaks and summers so I am still able to nurture him so he knows how to be treated correctly by a woman. I loved this episode and received many pings on why the WHY things have happened to me.
Hey sis!! As a mom, I know that was hard. I made the same decision when my son was 9. His dad went to prison and he came back to me, he's 29 now and still angry and bitter, arrested in his development. His dad is out of prison now, but he's only been out for 4 years now. Their relationship is strained, our relationship doesn't exist.
This man, Kevin Samuels is a jewel, A GEM. So many valuable information, just great. The best thing about what Kevin is talking about on his channel is calling out men too, and giving honest advice what's expected from men in order to get certain outcome for life.

Good looking out bro
Thanks brother ill have to check that out.
@Salchih -
But that does not take into account cost of living index and household median yearly salary/income.
$158k a year leaves you a bit of breathing room in a city like DC/N. VA, San Francisco, Honolulu, Hawaii, but the same career, careers for a joint earned household, that pays 6 figures in those cities will pay less in cities like Memphis, Gulf Port, Oklahoma City.
Using that Economic Policy Institute information is no different than women using figures to show that they earn less than men, due to the number of factors that are just as important as the narrative.
Jack Spade Yes, the figures are an aggregate of the 50 states. It is each individuals’ responsibility to be aware of their local MSA data (neighborhood; zip code; state; industry; career/job/position). The issue is the majority of people aren’t aware and/or don’t care to learn.
I reside in Arlington, VA...
@@The_Equalizer23 -
But trying to determine what the top income earners are making is the legendary moving target in Black culture. Back in the 60's it was getting a college degree and living in the better part of town. In the 80's it was breaking the glass ceiling of middle and upper management, and living in the burbs, now it's what the top income earners are making to include the illusive "6 Figure Income".
The more we play this game, the further we dig our own hole.

Rx - Pert Thats just the women who aren’t used to be told the raw and uncut truth. I find, whenever I debate any woman regarding relationships they never argue with cognitive logic. They argue with their emotions on their sleeves. They never attack the main points you make, neither can they call your statements untrue. They just shame and attack you and hope to get you to stop saying it.

The Channel they just different sometimes I don’t understand them. And they have this ability to start an argument and when they c you winning w/ logic like u said they make you feel bad for being right lmaoo it’s crazy🤣
Wow,Kevin dropped gold. One nugget of gold was him stating the fact that women want to be independent and men are now used to just hooking up and now we have people living alone and paying more living expenses. When instead, a couple could share living space and are stronger together, just like tax breaks for married couples. 2020 to 2030 is gonna be a very interesting decade.
Great conversation 👏🏼👏🏼 much needed for our current situation & myself personally
Good to see Kevin Samuels making it onto other platforms. Keep spreading the message KS.
I really love My Samuels. I don’t understand why so many women have a problem with him. He speaks the truth. He’s has a realistic mindset.
Take note....Kevin will be the next RUclips personality to break mainstream.
DarC SuN It only makes sense
I don't think he needs that validation. The biggest consumers of mainstream content are women, which is why the superstars pander to them. KS doesn't pander. That will be a hindrance, unless he compromises his message.

FACTS! Either water down your message and bend the knee or stay on these spaces and ball out WITH integrity!
I hope Kevin goes for the latter.
I dont see that happening. Mainstream is not for honest people telling the truth.
This comment aged well
This was so good. I'm about to join Kevin's Facebook group now. Between this episode & the one with AMS, I'm learning so much about men. I'm going to make my fitness & eating even more of a priority now.
One thing I really loved was how Kevin said men should lead financially. I think a lot of women would be willing to take care of themselves better aka lose weight if they could be free from having to carry households & financial burdens all alone.
And both AMS and Kevin would be high value men and they are trying to help other men understand that.
It's confusing because the social narrative is that "independence" is what women wanted...
@@gabntumba2434 There is absolutely no need to respond to that lady that way. She commented about how she wanted to better herself and you felt the need to swear at her and basically demean her by saying she didn't listen properly and proceeded to give her a list of things YOU deem acceptable that she did not ask you for. Your comment is absolutely unacceptable and your advice was certainly not warranted in that manner. Sir taking your frustrations out on innocent bystanders online looking to better themselves is not very alpha, it shows lack of class which I think is the opposite of the alpha male you may be trying to portray.
@@gabntumba2434 The truth hurts sure, but there is no need to talk to someone like that who didn't ask for your advice. That's my point. Truth doesn't involve swearing at a stranger who has already identified their weakness. That is bullying, she didn't ask for your list on what a high value man wants - you are a total stranger on youtube with no credentials to back up why you feel you are in position to speak down to someone like that. Your comment was totally uncalled for.
I'm in a very happy hypergamous relationship myself. So you can miss me with that ridiculous comment on men not wanting to commit to me. I'm all for submission however, no woman wants to submit to a bully in your case which is why you are probably single and in no position to be giving relationship advice anyway. That is my assumption from the way you jumped down that lady's throat like a hungry shark looking for prey. Your comment to me gives off a vibration of lack. Where is your submissive woman? Are you married? What are your credentials that qualify you to offer unwarranted relationship advice?
@Benaiah, BW don’t want “independence “. BW are just playing the hands we are dealt. In many cases, that requires an “I have to handle everything by myself” attitude, because there are no BM around who are willing or able to help. It’s a survival mechanism.
When you asked Kevin about what he’s learned from his former marriage, I appreciated how he took full accountability for HIS part of why the marriage dissolved. He didn’t spend any time blaming, he just focused on where he has grown and learned.

Thank you Roommates
As a pushing 40, happily married, stay at home/home schooling mom; I have no idea why this video came across my feed. But I cried, laughed, cried and laughed again. I took some notes, and thought about how as a mom, I’m raising my son. Though he has a wonderful father. And then I sent this to 3 of my brothers ( youngest is 22) to let them know that there is actual guidance out there. Thank you.
I'm a persian-canadian guy and I love kevin samuels.
The things he teaches transcend race and apply to everyone.
Women are the same everywhere in the world.
And the characteristics of a high value man is also pretty universal.
This podcast and this channel is awesome. I can't even believed it is owned by a Nigerian. Am joel, am a Nigerian, I stay in port Harcourt but am from Akwa Ibom State. More grace bro
We tell our kids they can do and be anything they want but we don’t often enough provide perspective or caveats. The truth is that ambition is great but you have to find what’s right for you. I feel most of us leave the house without any knowledge on perspective.
Very true
Mostly best regards for the opportunity
I love the fact that he speaks, finances, wardrobe, character and longevity. A lot of folks are not emotionally available for relationships, wait until you are...
💯💯🔑
When does he talk about longevity? I'm learning that now
@@jermainemason3352 I can't remember the time stamp..
Another great video from the Roommates and shout out to the God Father!
Oh shit tbh 👀😳
Yooo tbh
Need you on the podcast

💯💯💪🏾
I wished I could afford his services! I am a black woman by the way! I respect his ability to make men and women to see REALITY!
Just save.
@@KidGravityBeyond lol 🤔
He has tons of videos on his you tube that will inevitably help answer all of your questions, that's the best place to start.
You'll be fine Sis! The fact that you know who he is and don't hate him puts you ahead of the curve. Keep watching his shows and stay off Derrick Jaxn channel.
This interviewer is really sharp, focused and insightful with his questions. Brings out great content from Kevin.
Hafeez, I am standing up and giving you an ovation for this interview, my brother. Your growth in your interview skills is truly shining and having your research details solid with such a well established guest, you held your own and then some. I am a renewed fan. Bravo. A++ grade interview.
This right here. Helped me so much! I'm 26. Not close to where I need to be but this RIGHT HERE! Gave me direction!
Every man in the world should be obligated to watch this video. Thanks for putting this type of content out, we need our community to go the way it should and this type of videos just make me smile. Great information is shared here. I hope we as men share this content with our buddies.
Woah. That left me speechless. This message really touched my heart. Thank you. I'm watching this again.
We're a generation of men raised by women-Tyler Durden,Fight Club
Love this video. Kevin Samuels gets a lot of flack for his direct approach. It comes in handy. We have learn how to receive the harsh truth. It helps us build our character. Healthy relationships go a long way.
This is such an enlightening convo. These gentlemen really shed a honest and thoughtful light on issues with black men with black women.
Even if you achieve everything and become high value.... you’ll still want more. You can only be truly satisfied with something spiritual.
I call that having a real connection with God, everything else is a distraction 😌
You have to be content within yourself
Realest comment of the Century
That's why most men are satisfied without having money if they broke, that's why they enjoy fishing, sitting in the yard with grill going. Women ( mostly) have to be doing something or entertain. Once men cant or dont dance they want to leave or complain.
God is the source so you can only be at peace through a relationship with Him.
I am so happy you mentioned "The Millionaire Next Door"! That is one of my favorite books. I've even gifted it to my friends who are single and married. Great discussion overall!
"Women create the men they complain about" that was tough!
statement of the year!!
Great interview, kevin is right, if you want to change your financial situation, you have to work, try things and fail. I wasnt struggling but i knew if i wanted a family i had to make more money. So i tried affiliate marketing, that didnt work, i tried my own business selling products, that didnt work, i tried youtube and that didnt work, but doing all of that work led me to connections and now I'm a certified information security analyst, I know a few programming languages and a SQL developer studying for my interview. Not going to stop here, my goal is to make 7 figures and I'm excited on the new connections and friends I will make a long the way. Kevin was one of my inspirations although i didnt like what he was saying at first, but we have to improve on ourself if we want the best outcomes in life and it takes work.
wow, congrats brother, God bless the works of your hands!
@@proph2008 thanks, respect
good shit man🤘🏾
@HAWK EYES28 good stuff brother. Wish you none but the best on your new journey
Copy/paste that message? Seems that I already read that somewhere. Probably on KS videos. Congratulations regardless!
I'm a woman and I'm here to collect some gems and learn from this man whom is praised by others. He is speaking a lot of truth and sense, I can see what he sees by just observing life. Thanks for the video!
YASSS!!! Saying the things that are talked about behind closed doors. I'm loving it.
Really enjoy this content. I'm subscribed to him and have found it so insightful. So many channels pander to women. I appreciate his honesty. I've learned so much about myself by reflecting on what's said. Great interview! Keep up the great work 👍🏾
My man Kevin Samules dropping that knowledge. Much respect
RIP Kevin Samuel! Your wisdom and impact with live forever
Kevin Samuels is a miracle. I see it.
I think the biggest hurdle for so many young people today in relation to the discussion at 1:35:20 is that "the dream" we often have isn't something that is necessarily going to come true. Things aren't going to be perfect, so build a pragmatic skill set and work towards something that you believe worth playing the long game TODAY and not tomorrow. Was a hard pill for me to swallow for a long time. Still hurts sometimes, but reality needs to be seen as the cold and hard it is. Thanks for the content.
I can’t lie, when I first clicked into Kevin Samuels channel I was like I can’t stand this guy, but I kept listening because I realized it was the truth of men although I didn’t want to hear it. When I realized that Kevin really isn’t trying to be harmful but helpful, no matter how blunt and abrasive it may seem, that’s when I really started to be ok with him.
Something he said really made me sad when I saw the truth of it. He said something like, black men want to date black women, black women know black men like to see a woman who is in shape, it is like a slap in the face that we refuse to give him what he likes. A few weeks later I was in a grocery store and there were at least 6 fairly attractive black men, and though they were not ripped you can tell they work out. There were about 6 of us black women in the store in similar age ranges and nice looking in the face, but by the BMI we are all considered obese. It was like dang... we gotta do better... it is hard to hear but the truth is the truth.
A lady that gets it! Blessings!
The comical thing is that every single one of those women would think they are “better” than the fit men. It’s why they are single and won’t be getting married.
Im also listening man videos, comment section sometimes is very toxic, but what kevin says is interesting, sometimes we as woman are contradicting ourselves and i understand why we are called pathetic. I also watch videos about "level up" from woman, i love them but is smarter to hear both sides, so you dont bias on just one opinion
@Watch Video go on about your business...
@@EbonyCOliver save the women who will listen to your message. The ones who don't will be corrected by the market. Save who you can. I appreciate you taking the time to listen.
This is fire. Know if you’re supposed to be a boss and don’t stress yourself unless you know there’s a boss inside of you.
I fw Mr. Samuels. Totally made me rethink my mentality and just how to present myself in a professional environment. Salute!
Fire content! I love you guys! Stay putting out that medicine for the community.🙏🏿🙏🏿
