I'm 43 and single and it's amazing. I study cybersecurity, I train jiu jitsu, play basketball and workout and read books, meditate, keep a journal, all whenever I want. I'll be getting back to stand-up comedy soon. I date here and there but I'm so free. I've learned to be ok with myself, being in the moment. Being in the moment is where peace resides. I dig this dude.
I think a relationship is something advertised and marketed and made to make us believe it's something we need. Because freedom is the ultimate gift. I definitely don't miss the petty silence and agitation you get in a relationship
@@piglo318 if relationships were purely a marketing construct then reproduction wouldn’t require them. That’s not saying that everyone is cut out to be in a relationship though. When you learn to love yourself you realize you’re self worth and will stop accepting behavior from others that falls short of said value.
Marriage and children gives a person higher highs, lower lows, a more full life. Peace of the Buddhist monk requires being single. Romance is complicated for higher highs and lower lows. Peace is also desirable. Poverty yields freedom. The Buddhist monks have a simple definition of being wealthy. If I can sleep when I am tired and eat when I am hungry I am a wealthy person. Single people have single person suffering. Married people have married people suffering. Life is filled with choices.
I Love being single and it has nothing to do with my personality of lack off. I tried hard to fulfil my expectations of society norms but I always turned back to being single. A stream of x's prove this. There was a time that I was thinking there was something wrong with me but when I decided that I will stay single forever all the discomfort, my need to conform with society's views disappear and now I am happier and more fulfilled than ever. I just thought I say this.
I absolutely love this. I am not one for societal expectations. Not that I shun it, I just don't fit in with it. And I like how I am, and how I think and what I do.
society places so much emphasis on romantic love that we neglect all the other ways we get intimacy and warmth and love from people. I think we have to express more love to our friends and embrace the closeness and care we get from them. When we focus on that, chasing romantic love doesn't feel so important.
Romantic love doesn't exist. That's just a sense of infatuation and lust that ultimately wanes over time. I'm not saying that a man and a woman cannot love each other. I'm just saying that romantic "love" is inevitably fleeting and not something to build a long term relationship upon. Such is a fool's errand.
Romantic love is selfish. How many songs on the radio talk about romantic love. How many movies. It's conditioning to take unconditional love and transform it into romantic love.
It is not the situation that causes suffering, but our perception off it that causes suffering. We can be free, happy and at peace being single or in a relationship, it all depends on our perceptions.
It took me 28 & 1/2 yrs to figure out I had been ruining my life being an arrogant, selfish fuck. The last 3 years I’ve been working on me, & there’s still a long way to go. However the learning to love the process is one of the examples here of not necessarily needing a romantic love, but a love for life people & experiences.. not getting attached is easier said than done, but it doesn’t mean u can’t still participate in the exchange of love
"Loneliness" is a choice! You can CHOOSE to ALLOW yourself to "be" lonely! Or, you can TAKE the TIME necessary ALONE to REALIZE and ACCEPT.....solitude! Ultimately, it's on YOU to CREATE a perspective!! Hammer through the "loneliness" and inevitably SOLITUDE grows!! THAT is when you become dangerous because you KNOW, you need NOTHING from ANYONE to validate YOURSELF WORTH!!!🤘👍🤘No-one is coming to save ANYONE, it's on YOU to SAVE yourself!!
I pursued romantic love to the gates of insanity. When some people used to say to me "well, marriage isn't for everyone," I'd burn inside with rage and self-pity. At 60, I finally got what I thought I wanted - a husband. God have mercy. I don't have words to describe how grateful I am to have never had children and to be 100 percent joyfully single for whatever time is left to me. Running and chasing after a ball and chain - for decades! Can't see till you can see, I guess. Thank you SO MUCH for your videos! Also, you have a lovely voice.
If you enjoyed this video why not read his books. Dodgyknees: The Bum Who Couldn't Be Bothered, Twelve Rules For Being Broke, Homeless And Alone or my personal favourite Beyond The Ball And Chain.
I've dated around and every time it's been less interesting than the last time I tried. In my experience, this consumer mindset that most people have when it comes to forming relationships is really what kills it. It's not about companionship or intimacy...its more about "what can you do for me?" Pretty dehumanizing and reductive if you ask me. Yea, I don't think I need to pursue that. My life is much more healthily Holistic without me having to be a slave to the Fairytale Industrial Complex
Worded perfectly. Also, I have peace in my when single and not dating, once I start dating again it ALWAYS muddies the waters and I'm growing tired of waiting for the water to clear back to what it was prior to dating. Why am I chasing muddy water when I already crystal clear water on my own. I love women but I just don't understand why they can be so disruptive to peace.
@@c.a.6636 Pretty much. Whenever I'm single I'm at my 100%, every day is an opportunity to do more, work more, train harder. As soon as a woman comes into the picture I have to deal with petty stuff.
Relationships drain me because I'm a highly sensitive empathic person who believes people should help themselves and not rely on any other person to sort them out. My last so called relationship started and ended in 2005, a narcissistic sociopath who ruined my life.
The internet and RUclips have endless videos suggesting ways to improve your life. They also offer endless videos to support whatever beliefs you are currently operating under. As great as some of this is, I'm really getting sick of it. I need to turn RUclips off but watching more videos is habitual. It's become my social life. Anyway, thanks for another video supporting my chosen lifestyle, even if there are millions of other videos saying I need to work harder and make myself more attractive to women,.
07:46 The only part l disagree with Diogenes, Buddhist (nekkhamma) and Sikhist (Moh) philosophies is their advocation of the practice of Non attachment... It is an impossible paradox to practice not being attached because the moment you think you are detached just means you have now become attached to the practice of trying to not be attached😂... So essentially nothing has really changed regarding you being attached; what only changed/changes is what you are attached to; all else are futile Sisyphean tasks. No man is an island, EVERYTHING is ineffably connected and attached in this universe. That's the point of life; ultimately all is ONE.
There's a difference between being single and "dating here and there" and being single and having absolutely no one ever, not once, pay you any attention whatsoever. I am so rejected by society, lonely, and sexless. It's painful just to exist most days.
These days it’s better not be in relationships as you see many people are to wealthy to seek partnership as a way to prevent poverty. Now to be a relationship is a job. If you don’t fulfill to the desire of your partner, you would be replaced.
I turned 30 this year, single no kids mane, honestly dont have a desire for relationship, I avoid intercourse, spirituality is wassup 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 self peace is amazing
Once one gets over the fear of not being in a relationship and the perceived social failure of being single - being single has fantastic benefits to exploring and living life and finding richer meaning in it, however it’s not always easy (but then neither is being in a relationship).
"to any one who would listen 1:22 / 11:08 " the dogs are his audience, the painters masterful depiction of diogenes in the company of dogs, says alot about his ideas. man and woman, light and darkness, life and death, he was going against human nature therefor no human where in his company (in the painting) this shows what people thought of him the man who preached to dogs . today we try cope with fact most of men today are lonely with cynical mens ideas as coping strategy but deeply we know we love women even tho they bring pain and we struggle with chaotic nature of a female but though that struggle that bounds the chaotic nature of a woman and the ordered nature of man can true motion be attained, for order to exist disorder must also exist, think about it. i love women, women love me. the men who watch these kinds of videos are coping no different to the feminist's who say "we dont need men". i call males like you dead no different to rotting corpses and your stench can be smelt by all who walk past you.
Diogenes is LITERALLY the only 100% Sigma introvert in humankind history💯 He was like the ONLY ONE complitely not giving a single FVCC about anyone and 100% focused on his own life style. Definetly my favourite ''philosopher'' If we can even call him like that
For me this is a hard one because I'm 26 and I've never had a girlfriend let alone kissed a girl. Ever since I was a young boy (literally as far back as I can remember) I've always wanted to have a wife, be a father and have multiple children and dogs. It's really hard for me because I don't believe in hook up culture and casual sex, I believe in having trying to have committed long term relationships with one person. I say "trying" because I don't believe in "the one" I don't believe there is someone out there for everyone, however I do believe that we need to try our very best to learn and grow with our partner and not just leave or cheat just because of some small thing
My brother, get your money right then head to Eastern Europe or South East Asia. Being a virtuous and romantic man in this culture is not safe. In the mean time, get your philosophy of life on point and your physical fitness to an elite level. Raise your kids in a small town. I know you're going to be a terrific dad. Good luck.
If I had a dime for every time I heard the word society/societal in the video I could say, "I don't want those dimes, I'm living a simple life, in accordance with nature."
62, and I've never been in a relationship, unfortunately there has never been any passions,dreams,goals,interests. Just a loner in a bubble waiting for the end
That's really sad. It's never too late to find a passion or interest that sparks you. Explore something new and take that time to discover yourself. 🙏🏼
Maybe your passion is not to have a passion. Lol. I wouldn’t sweat it too much. Spend your time doing whatever it is you feel content doing and try to practice gratitude that you physically can do whatever it is that you are doing. As for relationships, you are not missing much, but heartache, betrayal, stress, and lots of wasted time, energy, and money. I’m 53 and I’ve had two marriages and 3 LTR’s and the only thing I’m grateful for, besides my wonderful daughter, is that I know for sure that being in a relationship is a raw deal. Never again.
I wonder if he was just anti- social! Boenhoffer said, “ let him who cannot be alone beware company . Let him who cannot live in communion beware solitude”
Christmas is a man-concocted holiday, as all holidays are. To spend it doing whatever it is that makes someone content is not “sad”. The problem with society is all of these programmed expectations that people have of others. There are people, like myself, who could give two shits about “holidays” and spending them with other people because that is what is expected.
@8:08 Ummm... am I the only one to notice that the guy is wearing a wedding ring as his fingers "ascend to the pinnacle of Diogenesian self-reliance?" 😂
It is impossible to obtain real love and fulfillment from an outside source like another human in a romantic relationship. We have all the love needed inside of us plus so much more. That is what needs to be nurtured and taken care of by you and yourself only not handed over to someone else's selfish ego. Be love do not seek it.
I dunno if “single by choice” is the correct description. “Single by lack of a large enough pickle barrel” is closer to the truth. 😂 I do agree with Diogenes in staying single until one achieves self discovery, however. Humans are the only thing on earth that can add up to more than the sum of their parts. It requires all to be focused on the same task. Remember, the pyramids weren’t built by a single human.
Single by choice is real. All you have to do is make the choice, use the world around you and that'll have an influence of whether relationships are worth it or not
Im 30 and i think i already lost the chance of having a good relationship in this age i was left with Single moms candidates.. Ill guess ill take my "Sport car downpayments" and "Dying alone" over paying child supports

These types of ideals are just a beard to cover up people's inability to find someone. Trust me. I have been single for ten years. It gets old. Not having children or anyone who loves you is a truly awful feeling in your chest. Just my opinion. Also I have an otherwise fulfilling life.
You would still have a similar feeling of discontent with a partner and children. Human suffering is inevitable and inherent in the very nature of the human experience/condition. From personal experience, when I am in a relationships i long for the peace and simplicity of being alone and single. When i am alone and single i long for the companionship and intimacy of a relationship. However, after enough heartache from having a partner, I have found the emptiness and hurt from being alone is more bearable than the hurt from loving and losing in a relationship. The former can be pacified with enough self love and patience. The latter tends to cause deep sadness and pain to the point where one needs to rebuild and be at the mercy of time to heal and feel better. The take away is weather you are single or with someone there will be pros and cons, likes and dislikes in both circumstances. Ultimately it is just about accepting whatever comes with a steady understanding of the impermanence of ALL feelings, states and relationships All the best
Pets,Children, & Women are all loved "Unconditionally".. While men are not so in such that way, and loved for what they provide and bring forth in the chosen relationship. Even pets will pen their loyalty to whom ever will leave a bowl out for them.
I thought the same thing. Started dating ppl. And now I'm here ready to be single and focusing on the most important person in my world. Me. Maybe I didn't date the right person. But it's still proof I'm ok with being alone. You shouldn't follow this man's teachings to the teeth. But, it's great to be grateful and love life weather you are single or not. You'll find that out the hard way. If you can't live life happily without having someone by your side. That's the point, don't give that thought to much power. Don't chase, attract.
Most anyone with a speck of self confidence can find someone, however there are most certainly failures who pretend to be single by choice, in order to guise their own inadequacies. You Sir may feel lonely or disconnected from some ideal family life, but I can assure that no relationship is better than a really bad one. I can assure you that no matter how lonely you might feel, there are men who are continually mistreated by their wives and girlfriends who feel ever lonelier. Those are not my opinions either; those are facts. On another note, I don't mean to sound coarse and I wish you the best.

I thnk im going to keep my bowl, but ive embraced singlehood!
The clip of that guy spending Christmas looking at a computer screen was a bit sad.
@@MaxineBrandi🕺😎
Christmas is a man-concocted holiday, as all holidays are. To spend it doing whatever it is that makes someone content is not “sad”. The problem with society is all of these programmed expectations that people have of others. There are people, like myself, who could give two shits about “holidays” and spending them with other people because that is what is expected.

a barrel is a good house. but in Terry Prachett Ephebe Philosopher style, its best when is one of those huge spacious comfortable barrels. 🤔
@8:08 Ummm... am I the only one to notice that the guy is wearing a wedding ring as his fingers "ascend to the pinnacle of Diogenesian self-reliance?" 😂
If it was not called cinism ¿how it can be called? Indiferentism or there is another word for it. Thanks
It is impossible to obtain real love and fulfillment from an outside source like another human in a romantic relationship. We have all the love needed inside of us plus so much more. That is what needs to be nurtured and taken care of by you and yourself only not handed over to someone else's selfish ego. Be love do not seek it.
Perfectly said. 💯🎯
Thanks
Truest thing ❤

I dunno if “single by choice” is the correct description. “Single by lack of a large enough pickle barrel” is closer to the truth. 😂
I do agree with Diogenes in staying single until one achieves self discovery, however. Humans are the only thing on earth that can add up to more than the sum of their parts. It requires all to be focused on the same task. Remember, the pyramids weren’t built by a single human.
Perfectly put agree completely 👏
Single by choice is real. All you have to do is make the choice, use the world around you and that'll have an influence of whether relationships are worth it or not
Im 30 and i think i already lost the chance of having a good relationship in this age i was left with Single moms candidates..
Ill guess ill take my "Sport car downpayments" and "Dying alone" over paying child supports

Beautiful insights from a homeless dude that got no 😼. All I can say is it's a good thing there wasn't Twitter back then. My G would have been getting ROASTED!
Diogenes lived around 400ish years B.C
And he is still known today.
The day after you're gone, no one will remember.
@@bulletproofh2t They will remember that I wasn't randomly hostile to people on the internet for no reason. And how rapidly I muted people will be sung about for generations to come!
@@bulletproofh2tYour mom will still remember
Your slang makes you sound illiterate.
His philosophy worked in his day, because the world was in a different place.
...and it continues to work nowadays but due to the attitudes, habits and selfishness of 304s presently almost makes his philosophy imperative, unless one is incredibly lucky enough to find a unicorn.
It still works, you just have to make the choice
Naw he basically was a modern day bum. But history regard him as a philosopher. In today’s society, no one looks up to a bum.
@@christiansamaroo but if you have ability to not me affected by people’s opinions then you are free to do and live how you want.
@@christiansamarooProbably millions of people today look up to that bum.
Yet no one looks up to you.
You don't stop growing being in a relationship, though. You grow another way, and you can still grow as an individual--he was not wrong, but he was not all right either. -=80)
I wonder, what could be his experiencies that destroyed all beliefs in his current society.

Diogones was a half crazy dude that never got punched in the face. I knew a bunch of these when I walked to work in Downtown San Diego, CA.
Haha I had that view as well watching this vid - nothing too out of the world here
he was a real card
..The result of being LONELY in a COLD DARK WORLD.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day
He had the fortitude to suffer, Yet lacked the strength to succeed
Define success. It's subjective.
@@kdr129 True. In society, Our thoughts on success can vary wildly, And, I can even see how in many ways, His philosophy or even being a known person in history, Could make him successful. However, Being a follower of universal law and nature, I would say that his inability to have an heir, Is at the least unfortunate, And in my opinion, Very unsuccessful. Life doesn't really have a lot to objectively put forth as a win... but continuing life, Is one of them, I don't think many people could disagree with
@@ShreddedSteelso anyone who doesn't have a child is considered unsuccessful to you?
@@Rctdcttecededtef Guy was literally a dirty bum who made being broke, homeless and alone sound like a good, even healthy idea. We can try to rationalise the worst aspects of life but truth is we need each other and we shouldnt feel ashamed to reach out for help when we need it. Chances are there will be a kind person willing to listen. Isolation is painful but self isolation is cruel.

Single is so much easier
God comes before family, money, guns, and material.
The grown ups are talking about real things
@@Rctdcttecededtefyou mean the leftist politically correct trendies?
@@LeeAdrian777 you had to bring up politics
These types of ideals are just a beard to cover up people's inability to find someone. Trust me. I have been single for ten years. It gets old. Not having children or anyone who loves you is a truly awful feeling in your chest. Just my opinion. Also I have an otherwise fulfilling life.
You would still have a similar feeling of discontent with a partner and children. Human suffering is inevitable and inherent in the very nature of the human experience/condition. From personal experience, when I am in a relationships i long for the peace and simplicity of being alone and single. When i am alone and single i long for the companionship and intimacy of a relationship. However, after enough heartache from having a partner, I have found the emptiness and hurt from being alone is more bearable than the hurt from loving and losing in a relationship. The former can be pacified with enough self love and patience. The latter tends to cause deep sadness and pain to the point where one needs to rebuild and be at the mercy of time to heal and feel better.
The take away is weather you are single or with someone there will be pros and cons, likes and dislikes in both circumstances. Ultimately it is just about accepting whatever comes with a steady understanding of the impermanence of ALL feelings, states and relationships
All the best
Pets,Children, & Women are all loved "Unconditionally"..
While men are not so in such that way, and loved for what they provide and bring forth in the chosen relationship.
Even pets will pen their loyalty to whom ever will leave a bowl out for them.
I thought the same thing. Started dating ppl. And now I'm here ready to be single and focusing on the most important person in my world. Me. Maybe I didn't date the right person. But it's still proof I'm ok with being alone. You shouldn't follow this man's teachings to the teeth. But, it's great to be grateful and love life weather you are single or not. You'll find that out the hard way. If you can't live life happily without having someone by your side. That's the point, don't give that thought to much power. Don't chase, attract.
I’m pushing 50 years of age. No wife, no children. I have an awful feeling in my chest. Feels like heartburn. I gotta start eating healthier.🤪😂
Most anyone with a speck of self confidence can find someone, however there are most certainly failures who pretend to be single by choice, in order to guise their own inadequacies. You Sir may feel lonely or disconnected from some ideal family life, but I can assure that no relationship is better than a really bad one. I can assure you that no matter how lonely you might feel, there are men who are continually mistreated by their wives and girlfriends who feel ever lonelier. Those are not my opinions either; those are facts.
On another note, I don't mean to sound coarse and I wish you the best.
I glad I alr out of his world few years ago
He need to release me he never so I need to use legal to do it.i give him alot of times and chances to release he nv I won't forgive.

if you cut out "freedom leads to personal growth and a deeper understanding of oneself" this video would be like 6 min... did you stroke out or are you really that dense at writing your own dialog ?
Get a girlfriend dude. 😂
@@herrweiss2580 unfounded attack on my personal character instead of addressing my criticism? let me try!! find a time machine and go get your pride you fat elderly food stamp princess.
@@herrweiss2580i wouldn't, divorce rate is up last I checked
I met this girl recently, she is just like me. otherwise all the girls who came into my lilfe i just deleted them, blocked them and ignored them and made them mad. for some reason i dont like modern girls and western girls.
that's the truth. I get some offers from awful women. Granted ... I will have sex with them, but there is no way I'd get into a relationship with them.
I reject this.
Or you just disagree, which is fine.
How dare you
