A guy in church started having conversations with me every Sunday. He seemed a little interested. One Sunday he asked me what I did for a living and I told him. He said, “Oh you have a real job.” I smiled. He never spoke to me again lol. I’m not mad at the dude. He cancelled himself out of the equation and I’m glad he did.

Thank you! This is the only man that makes sense to me. Ladies stop watching other YouTube channels of men blaming women for why women are single. Be the best version of yourself and you will find a man who is wonderful.

I agree with getting a man getting himself together, but don't do it for the sake of getting a woman. Do it for yourself.

I supported dusties all through my 20-30s. Never again! I’d rather be single.

[MyAfropuff]

Thank you for addressing men in this video. I’m a little tired of vids being aimed at women all the time. I’m a new subscriber, thanks for your content.

I agree with AO. I also want to be financially stable and out of debt prior to being in a relationship. Love and stability are key in my opinion as I prefer to have a sturdy foundation with my partner whether we were to have children or not. I need for my descendants to have a better life than me. You don't have to have a degree. We need to be secure in Who God is and who He called us to be. If we take better care of ourselves, we then have the capacity to care for others in our relationships.

[elizabethblanford]

It's really not about the degree cuz tons of people have degrees they don't even use

[ssdskully]

I'm willing to accept a woman who doesn't have a college degree who isn't making 40K (although I'm making 40K and have my bachelor's)... both of those factors can change in 2-4 years time. I'm more concerned with the mindset of the individual.

People are waiting too long to find partners. I married my college sweetheart and we grew together from nothing. I definitely think that it's got to be harder once you are established and have already been through so much to invite someone else in. It would be his and hers but for us it has always been ours.

My first question: How many children are you paying child support on? I met a man that I liked, until he told me he has 5 daughters and 5 sons. Jesus, take the wheel!

AO: Men are not financially responsible
Women: Holds 2/3rd of the college debt
Have more consumer debt
Comes with children from previous relationships (which are a financial burden)
Men contribute to taxes while women withdraw from the economic net at a higher rate.
AO: Men we gotta step up our game?
Men today: Who said I am even playing the game


Our relationship grievances are just beginning. In the next 2 years or so relationships are going to be scarce among the age group 25+ unless something changes.

I mean I make over twice 40k, have a BS (and I am way more educated than BS level), no debt, but dating is hard. I think these metrics matter for settling down and building the family life, but for some of us that isn't a priority. That effects dating since things like personality and confidence are way more important. And those are much harder to improve (welp for me at least).

[wayward]

Financial security is definitely a large part of it. Part of that is how family court deals with divorce. The risk factor.

[yothiga]

Maybe it just me but as being a ”good girl” all my life now I think it's too hard to be a ”good wife” for the rest of my life too. I mean at least in my society you should contribute financially to your husband, cook, clean, be a good mom, stay healthy and attractive and be a supportive wife at the same time. It's so much easier to stay single. Same with the men, tho. I think a lot of men prefer to be single because it is easier.

[flamezodiac]

What's the point in being in a relationship if they can't bring anything to the table?

[latoyapayne]

I can't find anyone who loves Jesus and is employed. I have two degrees and could care less if he has degrees. In general, women look for stability and low risk. If I can't count on him to work, how are we to build a secure future? 🤷🏿‍♀️

[iliaconrad]

I don’t interpret this video as AO stating that men need to be some kinda way because they need to attract women. I take it as him presenting a response to what those women were saying.

[MarissaLenea]

He has to love the Lord, have a solid foundation and is working towards making better choices 👌🏾

[ebonymitchell]

You better slide that relationship with Jesus Christ in there!

[Skullo]

I'm sick of all the blame falling on men's shoulders. I don't know what it's like for women seeking men but I know as a guy, all women I've met so far has been financially unattractive to extremely financially unattractive. Not only that, but their mindset sucks.

I am a 30 year old who works in construction and make over $200, 000 a year. About to hit millionaire status in next year. I'm having a hard time finding any woman who is willing to pull her own weight in a relationship
