My ex repeatedly said, "I don't NEED you. I don't NEED anybody". It was like she was trying to convince herself she said it that often. By the end she was mad at me for not being supportive enough. Somehow I got the impression she didn't need me 🤷‍♂️

My now wife, while we were dating, asked me if I needed her. I thought about it and said, " No, I don't need you because I can take care of myself, but I do want you in my life". She said, "Good answer". We celebrate our 42nd Anniv this year.

So I was on a date with a woman who kept saying, ”men aren’t anything”
And on and on and on about all the guys she has been with haven’t been anything……
So I got up and told her to have a good night.
And I left.
So when she texted and asking why I ended our date?
I simply replied “I ain’t shit”

Your videos have been incredibly eye opening (as part of your girl-audience). During college until recently, I’ve been guilty of the “strong, independent boss babe!” attitude. I think there’s a reason my 80-something year ago Grandma suggested I should find something a guy (i.e. classmate) was good at, and ask them for help. Initially I thought “no, I’m not going to make up reasons to talk to them - that’s not honest!”

BUT now I’m realizing that it is an exercise in the virtue of HUMILITY to ask for help (even if you can clear the sink drain yourself). And that humble, gentle, quiet attitude is what’s attractive. (Which I kinda knew all along, but didn’t want to admit).

So thank you, Courtney, for showing us there’s a better way 😊

A woman saying “I don’t need you” to a boyfriend, is like an employer saying “If you don’t like it you can quit” to an employee. It’s degrading and a subtle threat.

Courtney, until the laws change, there are a lot of reasons men are going to not want a marriage or a long term relationship. No fault divorce, misandrist laws and attitudes, lack of female virtue, and the sheer masculinization of women has turned men away. I’m 50, divorced with children, and have lived the life that most younger men fear. I sacrificed so much to my family and it was broken so easily by one woman because she wasn’t living the life she was told she deserved. Whatever that means. She got her degree and said she didn’t need men and didn’t need me. Funny that she needed me to pay for everything for a year while I lived on my moms couch with no money of my own. My kids are miserable. You are right, we need to be realistic about expectations and we do need each other, but society is telling woman that there is more and they are not just satisfied with having each other and that is enough. I hope some women listened to you. Less stories like mine might help women’s cause. Never take your life for granted. If ever women needed to be advocates for men, the time is now.

This lady is so refreshing and thank goodness she isn't one of toxic women posting something negative about men.

[phirephate]

Been single for 10 years. Not interested in dealing with the emotional up's and down's and hysteria that women bring. I have peace of mind being single.

They told me my whole life that they don't need me and that I'm bad because of my gender. Starting to avoid and also don't need women is just a logical consequence.

And: what she is saying in that video is OBVIOUS. The fact that we need to remind something like that and "it is a great message" is scary and it also says everything about the selfish nature of modern women. She is just trying to get what SHE wants as always.
"I don't need a man" was a mantra for years and years and it made me sick. As a man today I can say to this kind of "women" that I need them even less.

[paradox]

Thank you for your comments, its so refreshing to hear a women speaking positively about men. My marriage of 21 years ended because she didn't need or want me in her life as she could do it all herself. The last few years she made me feel like i was a stranger in my own house. Since my divorce i have found someone who values me and appreciates everything i do.

My ex would always say that she wanted to paint a room in her house or fix something. Every time I said I'll do it. She shot me down and told me she will have her dad do it. I took it as an insult. After that, I simply stopped trying. As you guessed, the relationship went south.

[rossbabcock]

I walked away from the 'relationship' game 10 years ago. Absolutely no regrets!

[almighty_cthulhu]

After my mother got divorced she would constantly say the "I don't need no man, " as she had her son (me) pick up all of my dad's old work in the house. After I grew up I told her that I hated that phrase and that I think it's disgusting. Then she looked at me and said "I regret that I didn't teach all my children that they don't need anyone."

I looked her dead in the eye and said "You are wrong, we all need someone."
She's over 50 and the side peice of the lawyer that she cheated on my dad with, and I haven't heard that phrase come out of her mouth since.

My ex assumed the same thing, I would maintain our house making sure it looked tip top all the time. Our house has a large garden that I always maintained making sure the grass was lawned regularly & kept on top of the weeding etc…. I passed by the other day to see my daughter. The garden is an overgrown jungle! she asked me if could cut the grass & spruce it up. I told her you wanted me out now go & find a Gardner.

I like self sufficient women that can handle their own shit. The "I don't need no man" movement is superficial and braggy, often uttered by women who are trying to convince themselves and others around them. There's something nice about having someone who is confident and strong willed enough to go out and get her own along side you and then coming back together at the end of the day and sharing your accomplishments with one another. I'm not out here trying to carry a lady through life.

[michaelwalters]

I think from my perspective the biggest relationship killer these days is we fail to know how to compromise. The older you get the harder it is. Another is we have become so materialistic I didn't realize this until I lost my first wife of 24 years then it hit me like a train now I could care less about things but want the togetherness doing absolutely nothing is priceless. We still go on vacations but you get my point.

[jesse_campbell]

"I don't need a man" might be some kind of incantation women utter, hoping it will somehow shield them from vulnerability. Imagine a man wearing a full suit of armor, claiming that he can be the best lover ever while wearing all that clanking metal. That's what these women are like emotionally. And it just doesn't work that way. Vulnerability and intimacy (of all kinds) are proportional to each other.

[alvertosb.p.]

Thank You Courtney for your fair perspective. A society without men is the beginning of the end of any society.

[robsolf]

Solitude is not a goal, it's a tool. You use solitude to sort your thoughts and feelings so that you're not exploding them out all over everyone else. Most people are capable of surviving on their own, but rarely to we flourish that way. It can be hard to realize that, if you have people in your life that are hell bent on being obstacles, or even hazards. That's why you seek people out that know how to live harmoniously, and odds are, those people needs some solitude, as well.

As someone who has been single most of my life, other than relationships here and there, but never married, I can see it is possible to enjoy being single or being alone if your focus is not finding someone in that moment. My life was full with going to school learning about interactive media in the late 90s, learning to play keyboards and work on my fan club. I was happy and I wasn't really looking for anyone or anything while I was focused on those things, I think the difference is if you are alone and angry towards other people while you are building yourself in any way. I never felt anger during the times I worked hard to build myself, educate myself, and build my creative life. So today, it may be different for women but I was happy to learn to do things for myself, and if someone helped me I appreciate that. It's a mindset, not so much that it's wrong to be alone but that your attitude about it and what you're actually doing with that time is key. Interesting video!
