    People always tell me “your standards are too high” and I always retort with, “no, because I have those same standards for myself. And if I’m fulfilling them just fine, I’m either fine on my own, or a guy can do what I do too. It’s not that hard.”

    There is a crisis among men with addictions, mental illness, lack of ambition, and lack of masculinity. I know it’s hard ladies, but stay strong. Being single and peaceful are better than being trapped with the wrong man.

      Heavy on the lack of masculinity & ambition, it’s so unbelievably disappointing. I never once dated someone where I got to be the woman in the relationship and I won’t date ever again unless I get to.

They don't even feel bad for what they do to us - they avoid feeling that by immediately climbing on another woman.

      Actually, very few couples are really happy and in love. They pretend really well, though. I work in a courthouse in Europe and today I will see a few divorces and splitting of assets (ugh) on Valentines, so romantic (sarcasm)... So, build yourself up and learn to be happy on your own, because your partner might die unexpectedly (like mine) or leave you for someone new ( the majority) or act so badly that you will have to leave (many, unfortunately). Love can also be found for pets, kids, hobbies, friends, etc.

      Girl I am in the SAME boat. I’m turning 31 in May and in October I found out my bf of 3.5 years was cheating on me (I went through his phone to discover this/I’m not proud of it but he was acting weird and I had to know). It was devastating. And yeah here we are 4 months later and I’m alone on Valentine’s Day and there’s not a single man on my radar I’m remotely attracted to or interested in. I have a great job, wonderful family, amazing friends but WHeRE is my GD soulmate and it is so frustrating. They say it happens when you aren’t looking but I’ve always wanted to get married and have children and on holidays the tick tock of my biological clock sounds extra loud when I’m alone. It’s 100% possible to love yourself but feel lonely in the intimate partner department… Shallon put it kind of bluntly by saying it matters what my puss is doing but like IT DOES and she is lonely and I want love lmfaoooo

    I think a huge problem is that people who are constantly working on themselves on the external or in a goal based/achievement based manner are trying to find love by being better in themselves. But that individualism only goes so far! Love comes from being able to work with another person, and selecting someone of the same caliber so that we’re not just bossing someone around or being bossed around. It allows us to relax and truly be in feminine energy (accepting/receiving) when we know someone can actually deliver on what they say!

    Married woman here:
    The problem with my single friends is that they stayed single for so long it takes a lot to convince them they need anyone. Then any little thing becomes a deal breaker- very trivial little things.
    You want a perfect package but most all of us are messy af ourselves. The truth of relationships is there will be compromise. You have to expect a certain amount of it.
    Having standards is important but be realistic. In life if you strive for perfection you are in for a world of pain and heartbreak and this applies to everything not just love life. But particularly love life.
    Also in order to meet quality men you have to go to quality places.

    • @francescaeve8776
      @francescaeve8776 7 месяцев назад +5

      I think there is a lot of pressure on single people today to pick someone perfect. I'm quite closed off about sharing who I date early on because some people act like you should ditch the other person the minute they do something 'wrong'.
      Single people are often subjected to conversations by partnered people that ignore the fact that the people we date are also messy. We've all had to sit through a 'would you date a guy who claps when the plane lands' conversation, from friends in less-than-perfect relationships.
      Sometimes friends think they are being supported by being all 'dump him' or 'girl, run' but what we often need is just a sounding board. (You sound like you are that person for your friends, though, which is great.)
      I agree though, I'm over people acting like 'icks' are actually dealbreakers. Girls will get the ick over the way a man runs or holds his fork but put up with him only texting after 10pm.

      I chat online in chatrooms often to married men. They are not happy in their relationships. They cheat. Their friends dont know. Interestingly, they say they are comfortable in the marriage. IE, they are okay with a pretense. Which is why probably women are the ones to leave.

    It's not beneath me to want love, but it hurts to want something that doesn't feel possible right now. :( i suffered a stroke last year, and i was in the hospital for 2 months, then in day rehab for 8-9 months. I also had to break up with my boyfriend of 6 years because he changed and stopped paying attention to me after he visited me when i got out of the hospital. I almost died twice. He didn't care about me. This man wanted to marry me, and he was my everything for many years, and he started to shift when this happened. It hurts to watch someone fall slowly out of love with you while you're trying to recover from a near death experience. It takes a certain kind of evil to essentially all but abandon someone when they are at their worst. He joined a religious cult (allegedly) and began to ignore me. He even tried to recruit me into it after the fact. I had to dump him. Now, i can't even leave the house without my parents, and i live with them.

If you do some research about it, you´ll see this is a universal trend (men leaving women who become ill, had an accident, or a heavy diagnosis). Meanwhile, women in general will nurture and support their partner. There are exceptions of course, but the statistics are very clear on this pattern and it says A LOT about the entitlement of men and their view that women are there to (essentially) serve them and not the other way around. I´m so sorry, but you´re not alone and you might find it helpful to see just how common this is :( x

    There is a philosophy behind music theory that perfectly shows this, and that is to play the rests (the silences). You should play the notes, of course, but you should ALSO play the rests, because they are there for a reason, they are a moment of peace, they are intentional, and they allow the notes and the melody to shine. The rests or silences in music, the space of time where you have an absence of something, is equally important for the music itself as everything else is. And it's the same in real life. The fact that you are single right now (or between jobs, or living in your parents house while your apartment is ready, or studying) also gives you a time to focus on yourself, it doesn't mean it will be that way forever, the melody will come again, but it's also not something to just skip over until you get to the next part. You should enjoy it too for what it is.

    I've been watching your channel since it started but generally don't comment. I wanted to tell you how much this video inspired and resonated with me. I've never felt like an "alpha woman" because I tend to be very sensitive and cry easily, but I live alone, travel abroad solo, am pursuing a career in opera, have a wonderful group of friends, and don't date just to have someone (anyone!) any more🤣. I love the way you look at this, and I totally feel as though I've grown up right alongside you!

    I am such a good partner, I’m solid and I know it. But I’ve had to have so much masculine energy my whole life and that mixed with my pride-relationships are HARD for me. I’m going through a breakup right now and it’s brutal because he’s an ass that I’m so in love with but I don’t make it any better with my own ways. I just cannot stand “love” and I think I should be alone for life.
    Thank you for scratching the itch in me, this is a place I can have my feminine ideals validated even though to everyone else I am masked with alpha masculinity, for survival of course.

    As it so happens, Valentine's Day falls on Ash Wednesday this year which begins a 40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving for us Christians. So even though I wished I was in a relationship in order to celebrate the holiday, I can't because I have to prioritize my spiritual health! Happy Valentine's Day

    Just found your channel and your videos are fantastic! This video in particular resonates with me in multiple facets of my life. From a dating perspective, I don't allow guys to get close to me based on my own insecurities and doubt in relationships. But in my content creation job, I'm almost the opposite and try to grow relationships with other creators who clearly aren't feeling it and are disrespectful, just because they could potentially help me grow. Love the "Once Upon a Dream" background song too.

    Shallow you just made me realize something--- I was married, have been divorced and in and out of relationships and guys stressed me out everytime I dated. Finally one didn't. I ran late, he didn't yell, he was patient, he planned dates and I was different- I opened up and didn't feel like I had to be alpha and in my head all the time. I think as women we put too much pressure on ourselves. Sometimes it's about meeting a laid back, patient man that is into us and naturally we go into our feminine and it works. Thank you. Good vid.

    Shallon, I just had a break up in an LDR. I use to watch your videos a lot when I met him, but I was already committed and at that point, trying to be able to guide my relationship because there was a lot I didn't like instead of doing what I know I should've done- break up with him. Now it's over and I realized how much effort I was putting in the relationship while he just tagged along with whatever I said. I got tired of trying to change him and realized I can't rely on him to take his fair share of mental load. So here I am again. I knew exactly who to go to 😂 this time, I'm leveling up myself and leveling up my thinking BEFORE I get into the relationship. I have my second chance. I'm not even in a rush to be in one. Right now, I'm on my mind, not other people. I'm saving myself. Thanks for all your wisdom.❤️

  • @joanie6303

    What I've noticed lately is when you work on yourself, dress elegantly/feminine, and at the same time you have your morals and barriers - guys admire that a lot, they do, they know it's something else and not "common" but they never approach... and here I see, next to me a messy girl looking like Billie Eliesh on Grammys having 3 years with her third boyfriend... C'mon now. I know it's college and I have time, but for someone who never had a boyfriend... it's getting old.

    What I’ve figured through the years is that you should never strive to become better because you think you’re owed or guaranteed something in life. You should simply be doing it to better yourself and circumstances and therefore your life overall. It’s a game you are going to lose if you think that going to the gym everyday will eventually get you your dream guy, or that working hard to have a successful career will have the same result, that’s not how it works at all.

Men fear you because you're smart and independent and might teach their codependent female partners, that they can not only survive, but live better without their douchebags on their side. The big city is theplace where single women can truly be theirselves.

They were almost drowning and my friend kept asking repeatedly "should I ask for help?" and her friends were meanwhile fighting for their lives and she was STILL asking if she needed to ask for help or not... she finally asked some surfers for help and everything was fine, they lived😅 my friend realized that even she STILL needed permission from her friends to ask for help. ...

    Hi Shallon. Responding to your story about the hateful people who live in your city. I think I know where the problem is. In reality they hate living in this small city and because you like it there, they now hate you. You remind them of all lost opportunities and lack of gratitude, therefore they need to hate you as much as they hate living in a small town. Moving there was your choice, but it was never their choice to stay there. You are a living reminder that their life sucks, so they want to get rid of you. It’s that simple.

    I've noticed a lot of single women this Valentine's Day. It's lovely they're buying themselves a treat, dinner, having a cozy night in... and sad as hell. 'Cos they don't want to be alone. We are all just so over the bullshit, and have these new, never-before-seen standards. And the divide with men will only grow, because we know how to pamper and celebrate ourselves. So any man comes along and doesn't even get us a V Day gift when last year we bought ourselves dumplings and chocolate? We are gonna get the ick quick. And they just aren't evolving, aren't adapting. They see how easy it is to make us happy and they are straight-up refusing.
