Succdessful Men Choose The Single Life
The video introduces the topic of why successful men are increasingly choosing to remain single, specifying that this refers to men who are desirable partners, possessing the resources and qualities women typically seek. The speaker clarifies that he is not talking about men who are single because they lack confidence or the ability to attract women, but rather men who actively choose to be single because marriage does not align with their life vision. The video promises to explore the top 10 reasons for this trend, ranked from least to most important.
10: Return On Investment
The tenth reason successful men choose to stay single is the poor return on investment (ROI) that marriage offers. The investment of time, energy, and money is disproportionate to the returns, especially when considering the risks of divorce, emotional distress, and potential financial losses. The speaker argues that the risks are too high for a man focused on his financial future, as marriage can grant a spouse access to half of his wealth. He also notes the emotional toll of divorce, particularly when a spouse transforms into someone vindictive and seeks to take everything.
Preserve Assets and Reoutation
The ninth reason is the protection of assets and reputation. While money is transient, reputation is lasting and can be significantly impacted by a divorce. A woman intending to divorce a successful man may attempt to destroy his reputation by making accusations, involving law enforcement, and sharing negative information with her network. The speaker shares a personal anecdote about his own divorce, where his wife used mutual friends as a sounding board, damaging his reputation.
The Modern Dating Market
The eighth reason is the distorted modern dating market, influenced by dating apps and social media. Dating apps commoditize individuals, reducing them to snap judgments based on appearance, which can feel impersonal and soulless. Social media inflates egos and promotes a self-centered attitude, particularly among women, who often focus on what a man can offer without considering their own contributions to the relationship. This "what do you bring to the table?" mentality, without reciprocal self-assessment, is a significant issue.
He Has a Vison For His Life
The seventh reason is that successful men have a clear vision and mission for their lives. These men are driven by personal goals and ambitions, and introducing a wife and family can interfere with achieving these objectives. A troublesome woman can be particularly detrimental to a man focused on building wealth or making a positive impact on the world.
Immune To Female Games
The sixth reason is that successful men have developed an immunity to manipulation, especially in relationships. Women often unknowingly or knowingly use manipulation tactics such as running hot and cold, creating drama, or playing the damsel in distress to control men. Successful men recognize these patterns and avoid them, understanding that sorting through women to find those without these manipulative tendencies is too time-consuming and energy-draining.
Liberation From Courtship Process
The fifth reason is the desire to be liberated from the unwanted behaviors associated with courtship. This includes the routine of buying flowers, sending emojis, constant texting, and trying to maintain a fragile relationship while playing games to avoid getting too close or distant. The speaker shares his relief after his divorce and subsequent decision to not date, emphasizing the freedom and time gained by avoiding these "ridiculous endeavors." This time can be used to earn money, build wealth, and live more independently.
Have You been Unsubscribed?
Before continuing with the top four reasons, the speaker asks viewers to like and subscribe to the channel and turn on notifications to avoid being unsubscribed due to YouTube's algorithm. He explains that without notifications, viewers may miss new videos, as YouTube prioritizes content similar to what they've recently watched.
The Compatibility Problem
The fourth reason is the compatibility problem. Successful men recognize that most women are not compatible with their lifestyles and personalities. Filtering through incompatible women to find a suitable partner is time-consuming and risky. Many men now prioritize building wealth before considering a relationship, as attempting to build wealth within a relationship rarely works well.
Psychological Sovereignty
The third reason is psychological sovereignty, which means not being concerned with external validation and being internally satisfied with one's life choices. Men with psychological sovereignty are comfortable with their single status and dedicated to their own missions, regardless of societal expectations or opinions from family and friends. They derive validation from within and are confident in their ability to achieve their goals.
Lessons Learned From Past Betrayals
The second reason is that many successful men have learned from past betrayals that women generally do not bring the same strength of character to a relationship as men do. While men often provide emotional support during tough times, women frequently struggle to reciprocate this support when men face similar challenges. It's common for women to leave men during difficult periods, highlighting a disparity in emotional resilience.
The Unaffordable Luxury
The number one reason is that most successful men see women as a luxury they can't afford. While women were once essential for both emotional and practical support, technology and the ability to hire help have made them less necessary. Successful men often "rent" companionship rather than investing in a long-term relationship that could be costly. The speaker uses the analogy of a cherry on top of an ice cream sundae, suggesting that while a woman might make life "nicer," she is not essential to a fulfilling life and carries significant risks.
Finding A Good Woman Is Hard
The speaker provides a caveat, noting that not all women fit these negative stereotypes. It is possible to find a good, healthy, nurturing, and loving partner who will support a man's endeavors. However, finding such a woman requires being the best version of oneself and a great deal of luck. Making it an intention is crucial, as it is unlikely to happen randomly.
