I can honestly admit that I HATE being single. EVERYONE I know has someone in their lives EXCEPT me. I am tired of going out by myself all the time. I never meet anyone when I’m out. I have accepted the fact that I may never find anyone. I know I’m only 5’7″ and don’t make a lot of money plus I am a man in his 60s so it may be too late to find anyone. I do go out all the time. Whenever I meet a woman I’m automatically friend zoned. Part of the issue stems from the fact that I’m borderline Asperger’s and ADHD which makes it a challenge to pick up social cues.

The very real true answers why so many of us men are still single today is because the women today are nothing at all like the old days when love was real easy to find back then. The great majority of the women now are also very high maintenance, independent, and don’t want us many of us men at all, very selfish, greedy, spoiled, picky, narcissists, gold diggers, and very very money hungry nowadays more than ever which really explains it. Most women back in the old days were at one time the very best of all, and that is why our family members were very lucky when they met one another back then. Today Feminism destroys relationships, especially with these kind of women around now unfortunately. And God forbid when many of us men will try to start a conversation with a woman that we would really like to meet, which there will be times when they will even Curse at us for no reason when we will just say good morning or hello to them. What is that about?

Great advice…I’m lucky no one in my family ever asks me this question…but, I was married for 25 years. My philosophy is: I would rather be happy single than miserable with someone else. I am happily divorced for 11 years. :)

What’s a good response when a guy asks me this question during a date?
I wouldn’t want to joke and ask if he has any cute friends. :) I have had guys say I’m attractive, classy, fun, and are perplexed that I’m still single. It’s awkward during a date.

I love your videos and I always look forward to your insight. There was part in your video when you said
“ If you’re not doing the right things, if you’re not getting out there, if you’re not even trying, if you’re guarding yourself and holding back, that’s what will truly haunt you.” I totally get what you’re saying, but shouldn’t the effort one puts into finding a partner be second place to cultivating love within ourselves and the life we want, and shouldn’t our happiness be independent of external factors? I recently read an article somewhere where it stated “ Pursue interests not people.” Wouldn’t it be more fulfilling to pursue what makes us happy and fulfilled versus going on a search for partnerships? Not that I don’t value relationships or their importance in life but if I’m truly and genuinely connected to what makes me happy and in love with my life, wouldn’t love just follow?

Fantastic content as usual Matthew! (And hats off to Jameson…I really like the CU camera angle with the soft-focus green BG that really complements your eyes).

Thank you for this. I am actually quite good at meeting and attracting men, but my problem is that I am not willing to settle. I live in a small town, so not much here, but I do get out to the “big city” every now and then. I am in my 40s, so a lot of the single guys who talk to me are too young (the last guy who gave me his number was a really buff 22 yo ;-), I am not attracted to them, or I think they are a tad boring (sorry.) So I will go on a date or 2, but I am not going to keep dating someone who I know is not right for me. Of course, the question is, will I ever find a person I want to commit to and will it happen before I am too old to care. Bur for right now, I would rather be single, and go a date here and there, than commit to a relationship when I know we will not make each other happy.

I think a good answer to the why-are-you-singe-question could also be: why should I not be single?
Like to make the other person think about her words, because actually nobody said that everyone must be in a relationship all the time.
