How? Everyone's crying, but what are they crying for?
I think he meant that everyone is worried they will never find love, in context to the video.
@@deisk2707 half of the world means women and the other half is men so so they both do cry

I love this so much. You can hear him talking to you just like a father would tell his child. It’s in the care of his voice that you can rest assured there is good out there and that person for you is not an absent abnormality but rather a necessity created just for you. Your someone is out there, don’t stop looking but also don’t stop being your best you because that’s who they’ve got their eye out for.
... ... all flawed advice ... JP admits himself that attraction is unknown ... so finding love outside of family, through biased groups and people without your best interests is unsurprisingly vague ...
None of this is remotely what he is saying here.

Man I wish my dad talked to me like this. Literally my depression would be cured.
Maybe you need to have a blunt talk with him about it otherwise he’ll probably never realize it’s an issue for you. Bluntness solves more problems than staying quiet does because it lets people know what you want and need. It’s especially one of, if not the most important thing in a relationship!

And make sure that person is a life partner you can tolerate. Remember looks change, money comes and goes. But if you can't stand the person you wake-up next to each day. You're not just wasting your time but their's.

“Maybe that’ll be good enough...” I think that line was so underrated..
The "maybe" was underrated or "good enough" was underrated?
Thanks again, Internet Dad. I was waiting expectantly to hear some really realistic, downright pessimistic thing that we’d probably missed the boat, but JP goes around and says something completely realistic, but not at all pessimistic thing that just says that, yes life sucks, but do the right things anyways. And sometimes life will surprise you.
Apps for dating are certainly inferior dont get why anyone would get offended by that as a fact. Because you find people there which is nothing good. Id rather meet in face to face. Oh and i smell people. From far away my uncle says im weird but its all the nose i swear i dont get too close its simply the strong smell those people have as their armpits or body. Now ill try reading their minds oh wait thats an invasion of privacy nvm.
@@IsraelCountryCube apps are for getting dates, they don't replace it. they only replace the first sight. so its the same like every other date you have in "real life". the problem is when people write weeks and maybe never date. this is not what they are made for.
How stupid do you have to be not to figure out this things by yourself?
I see him, like my internet dad, just like you. He helps me a lot.
@@bsg806 Lets find out. What is Love?
This guy is always sincere and well informed.
Fear of rejection is what holds most people from getting the person they want. Everyone has been rejected at least once and it can be traumatizing
Once hurt twice shy. Easier to say than to do. I don't blame ppl who don't wanna get rejected over and over again. It's their choice and their lives. I send them a big hug, they are better than what meets the eye.
@Marsonic lmao what an incel take. All women have never been rejected? How many days of your life have you been a woman?
Been rejected many times throughout my life even if i wanted to be their friend they turned their backs on me and never gave a hoot about me
@Marsonic ahh yes, women are the ones who have 'easymode' lmao🤣 the delusions.
It is traumatizing.
“Do what you can to be attractive to the people you want to be attracted to you” is incredible advice. I’ve had so many friends either believing they had to settle for less than they desired, or accusing those perceived out of their league as being shallow for not overlooking their (often fixable) flaws.
You can do better! Focus on personal development to become the type of person you and others can be proud of - not only do you deserve better, but your future potential partner deserves it as well.
Well, although I agree with being your best self, I don't agree with deserving such a partner that is also the best, but that doesn't mean I believe I don't deserve one either.
As for settling, everyone technically settles, no one can be "perfect" it's just a matter of what you're going to be willing to put up with or not and imo, if you aren't will to put up with people who got it bad for them, even though they haven't necessarily compromised any of the values you hold dear to you, then maybe you shouldn't have a long term partner? (Because if you can't accept the fact that people make mistakes or just aren't going to be "the best", then you're not gonna be able to truly accept anyone and nither will they.)
@IyokuUnlimited true
You can’t make yourself attractive to a demographic entirely. Because no demographic is monolithic in what it’s attracted to. Amongst gays, some men like masculine men, some like feminine men.
Why most humans think that finding romantic love/ your so call other half/twin flame etc etc is a MUST OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. Certain things will not happen in your journey for instance the person that wants to be a ballet dancer but that unfortunately does not happen either due to an injury or does not get accepted to a dance school or the person that plans to be a neurosurgeon but does not get accepted to medical school; some experiences, lessons, and paths will not take place in your journey through this lifetime, and one of them could be romantic love. Many will experience other types of love but romantic love might not be in their life journey so why, why humans cannot accept that as a possibility?
@@kintsukuroi6300exactly. We are wired to desire romantic love but some of us will never get it. There is no improvement that can make an invisible man all of a sudden turn into a man married to a good wife. Never.
Don't recommend looking for "love" online. There will be scores of people there, not always with the best of motives. Some guys just looking for sex. A better way is to enrol in a live class in a subject that interests you. That way if you meet someone, he/she is there to learn, you can also see them face to face and not behind a screen.
You share a common interest, they are not there from ulterior motives and at the end of the day, whether you find a love interest or not, you will have learnt something and increased your knowledge base. A win-win scenario I would say.
“Some guys are just looking for sex”? Brief correction, all guys are just looking for sex online.
@@KelticTim
omg shut up you feminist thing
@@johanv247 I’m a feminist? Lmao. Why, because I know how men think? Being a man with a working libido, and knowing many others just like me is what gave me that insight, not because I’m a “feminist” (that’s a first btw, normally I’m called a misogynist) you bag of douche.
@@KelticTim oh sorry i misunderstood you .. obviously you're not a feminist... you're just an idiot ... im a man and I'm not and was never a disgusting one that looks just for sex online... so dont generalize ... just because you and your pathetic friends are doesn't mean every man is .
grow up man !!!!
@@johanv247 oh fuck off man. Don’t white Knight me. All men think with their dicks first. Some, like you, just like to pretend you’re “one of the good ones”. Just because you’re looking for sex, and maybe a relationship too, doesn’t mean you’re an asshole or whatever, you can admit your wants and still be a good man. I’ve never personally had an online dating whatever, but after just getting out of a 10yr marriage, I’m considering it. And yes, I’ll be looking for a relationship, but only with women I’d like to have sex with, and you are too, unless you wanna keep pretending that you’d get into a relationship with a woman you don’t find sexually attractive. Go ahead and tell that lie.

Dating sites are the worst places to find "love", especially for a guy. I recommend NOT searching for love, either online of offline. The best way to find someone is through your personal journey, meaning its best for you to focus on your career, hobbies, be a good person, and eventually you will have people attracted to you.
You can focus on your career as well as also pursuing someone you're attracted to, but I get your point. My own philosophy is to just do it when I feel like I can take that responsibility of having a relationship with someone.
Yep, I've seen people's egos shattered when they get 1 match per week.
"eventually".. I'm almost 34 and a female.
@@trmp9923 Well, my advice was for men, can't speak for women. Focusing in career is never a good idea for women, but thats just my uneducated opinion and based on my personal experience with 50 year old women that focused on career and now are lonely.
@@LittleBoxXx If you tell women not to focus on career, what are the chances that she'll find a 'providing alpha man'? Men are into different things some would actually prefer a woman who is focused on her career and still want to provide for her while others would want a stay at home woman...
Don't cut yourself short just because you're trying to find somebody, be your authentic self and chase your heart's desire (if it's right for you) that way you won't end up frustrated, sad, UNFULFILLED and also 'lonely'
The simplicity of this is amazing. Just be you, try, you WILL fail, move forward and keep trying and you will succeed.
That's true 100%
Yeah thats not true at all, loads of guys try al their lives and dont get even a date, that bs is for women, i apologize if you are a woman as it wil happen for you 100% guaranted but if you are a guy reading this, no no it wownt definatly happen, it could well not, i know this because its happened to me and ive never had a gf in my life ! and im 45 yrs old, so no thats a load of bs
@@mcpartridgeboyYou have a point, but you also spit some bs there
Being a woman does not guarantee anything, sure they're probably more likely to, but guarantee? 100%? Nah fam
@@Yusa_Beach ive never met one who couldnt get a date, ive never met anyone who has met one who couldnt get a date, ive been told by many women online who at first pretended they couldnt but then it turns out they had no "quality" offers, and these were women that argued hardcare that dating wasnt a gender issue ! ive never heard of one that couldnt get one even online from women who prwtend dating is hard for women ! so idk, there may be one very heavily disabled woman possiby, but its exceptionally rare !
@@mcpartridgeboyI don't want to sound harsh but that has something to do with you, not them. Identify what's holding you back from attracting people, maybe it's your appearance or more likely your behaviour and general vibe. Then work out how to fix it, because it can be fixed, and it won't be too hard either. Do a lot of introspection about your life and how you've treated people, how you've presented yourself and how others reacted. Your attitude and worldview is also crucial. Cynicism is poisonious to both the cynic and the people he interacts with. Open your mind and your heart. Don't make excuses. I could go on but I think you get the idea. Much love to you. ❤

I watch a lot of these clips. This one stands out as being just the right gentle, sweet response. Very compassionate and nice to see where there is so many harsh clips on these short videos.
I'm 29. I'm not even looking for love at this point. Maybe having at least one girlfriend in my life would be nice
I feel the pain man, but just keep moving forward, ask yourself if you're doing the best you can do to maximise the probability that a girl would go out with you and then work towards improving it.

@@dominick951 best of luck on ur gains, this is probably only stating the obvious but theres a lot of good vids on youtube to help you out
Rather than trying to find love, try to nurture it with people you know. Love is developed over long periods of time. People often misattribute attraction for love. Attraction is ephemeral, love is resilient. It can endures a lot before it actually fades.
In just a word, "Try". This is how everything in life works. Try and if you fail, try once again. Work, relatonships, everything. Thank you mr Peterson.
The problem with that is with women the more you try the worse results you get, but also if you dont try you also get bad results, so trying is irrelivent you need to become a good pick up artist to have any hope of getting a gf nowadays ! which is basically try but manipulate her so it looks like you are not trying which takes a hell of a lot of skill unfortunatly !
@mcpartridgeboy This is the advice men give other men and it's exactly why it doesn't work out. You have no clue what woman really want and need. Stop taking advice from other guys who also don't really have a clue. Take advice from men who have been married 20+ years and know how to get and KEEP a good woman.
Honestly I’m done with trying I’ve lost count of the dms I have sent the rejections etc etc in spite of putting myself out there working hard being financially stable etc it’s still not enough some people die alone and I’ve accepted that’s ok
I'm not worried about it, because I know it will never happen, so worrying is pointless.
I used to think no one would ever love me... and then no one ever did. So what
You don't find love. You give it. The rest will take care of itself.
Not necessarily, and that has to be ok.
@@samanthathompson9812yes and that maybe good enough
It would be hard to find love in a loveless world.
Facts. Love is just temporary lust.
n its hard for men to find love, women get literally thosands of offers of love every week some thosands every day, women have literally never had it so easy in their entire history of humanoity lol, so its only hard for all men ! for all women its easier than ordering pizza ! literally !
I’ve found love.
…she just didn’t love me back. She meant the world to me.
It didn’t help that I pushed her away with my own damn insecurities…
I really miss her. She can’t stand me now, though…
Going through something similar
The amount of lives this man saved and improved... he is the hero we dont deserve but we badly needet
I was single for so long being introverted and cheated on at the end of high school and not having many reliable social circles basically non existing. So when I finally met someone I liked I didn't know what to Do. Did I forget how to fall in love again or was I too scared to even consider my feelings. Not until she left Australia back to her home in Japan almost 12 months ago did I realize my mistake. Next time I will remember not to let go so easily
idk know man ive got autism and i thought the same thing so i got clingy and that puts women off way quicker than being nonchelant about her leaving !
Don't chase love, money or success. Become the best version of you and those things will chase you.

@@DwayneGoggins no way man! Never figured that!

Hey Jordan you are awesome and we are bigger than any obstacle in this world. Be it withdrawal or loneliness
Jordan Peterson's tone is like: "🙄😒" He's sick of y'all's shit about "love" 😂💞
How are you doing today
I'm not worried that I'll never "find love," I'm just worried about being alone for the rest of my life. The problem for me is, I really don't "want" love. I don't try to put myself out there, I'm not very social, the idea of being in a relationship sounds like it'd be more stressful than fulfilling for me right now. And quite frankly I don't think I have the capability of "loving" people who aren't my family. But this comes with the price of being forever alone.
My fear is that I'll die old and alone, with no one that cares for me and my existence a memory that the world quickly forgets.
A relationship currently sounds like a bad idea because I don't want to subject anyone to being with me.
Edit: I should clarify that it's a part of me that thinks and feels this way, not my whole being. This part of me can be quite loud and convincing, though, drowning out the more optimistic, positive, hopeful parts.
I, I, I. You're only talking about yourself
@@alinpetrescu2309 not exactly a solution, but it is important for him/her to notice all those I's.
Its a step in the right direction. Love and relationships are two way streets. It's not always comfortable or exactly by your wishes and needs, but when the realization that you just woke up and you're not alone and actually have someone hits you, it's an irreplaceable feeling that sticks with you.
There are assholes out there though, ngl
@@alinpetrescu2309 who else am I gonna talk about, I'm not in anyone else's body 😑
Gonna tell u straigt, u'll be alone like this
This man is very nice. I really don't get why some people hate him.
So is creating a profile on dating apps/social media the right way? NOPE, not at all. It's only gonna lead you to worse depression. You just have to get over the fact 1.that love is subjective and it's not everything 2.Sometimes looking for love is the worse thing you can do, the more you try the more suffering without results 3.Love is overrated, you might not be as fulfilled as you think anyway after you find someone. CONCLUSION: live your life as if love doesn't exist. Ask yourself: what would I do if I didn't care about love? Would I go to that trip? Would I take on this hobby? Would I hang out with these people? If the answer is no, STOP. You are desperately looking for love in the wrong places. Love MIGHT find you but you must first stop trying so hard
A down-to-earth and straightforward answer. I love it.
I watch this and I still have the thoughts to myself “I am not good enough for anyone”. I am worried I will never be enough for someone and worried of rejection.
Doing this makes it worse. But also trying to help someone to see how great they are, doesn't do much good either.
You have to see it for yourself first. I found a 'nice guy' who had very low self esteem, I told him how great he was bc I could see who he was behind the masks he wore (for a few years might I add), but didn't do me any good. So now I know let them find out for themselves if they want to 🤷🏾♀️ IF they want to put the work in for themselves.
@@bananarae9207 I am prepared to put the said work in. I am going to therapy and working on my flaws ( working out at gym to lose weight and sort myself out )
I've been doing everything you said for many years now my dear Dr. Peterson. I have a job I'm proud of (software engineer), I just bought a lovely apartment at a great neighborhood, I try to eat right and exercise regularly. I'm not amazing looking but I put effort into it. I'm 34, a bit above average height and quite lean/muscular. I play the guitar and read books and have many other interests.
I've dated hundreds of women by now. That's not a brag. I haven't gotten into sexual intimacy with any but a few. Those I really wanted did not want me back. I try not to fall for all the obvious traps like showing I'm too enthusiastic too soon, or anything like that. I always pick the lady up from home and bring her back, pay for the date or put effort with good wine and fruit if it's a park date and basically try my best to be a gentleman.
Still alone and don't know what to do anymore :(
Maybe you put too much effort into the dates. Just decide where you meet (don't pick her up and bring her back home) and split the bill. Or just go for drinks that's cheaper and sometimes more fun. I think there are hardly any women who appreciate this "Gentleman" like behaviour.
@@JS-vo3ok In my country most ladies don't own cars, some even don't have a driver's license. Those who do, do not use it much. It's pretty rare to see one that does. So in most cases I didn't even have a choice about picking them up. Also, splitting the bill is considered very taboo and most ladies will see it as a deal breaker if a guy even hints at it. So those are not the issues, it's just a cultural thing here in general, it's not just me.

This is the best dating advice I think I've ever found on CZcams. I've never personally found it "difficult" but there's so many videos and channels on this platform that tailor to helping people find these secrets, but this is just as simple as it is. You gotta love yourself first or you won't have anything to offer another. Then, baby steps...
I've never been so reassured about not finding love in just one minute, masterfully done
If there is one person to take advice from… it is Jordan Peterson.
I'd say that step one is to love yourself unconditionally, while working towards making yourself the best best version of you that you can be.
Just become enlightened, bruh.
I love this guy his smart kind and really wants to make the world I’m so totally jealous of his wife lol
I’m so glad this man exists
I've just met a very special person. Its very early days , but my intuition is already telling me this is gonna be for the long haul. 35 years old, thought i'd never love again. Thought I'd never get married. Now the possibilities seem boundless all of a sudden. Cos I took action. Thank you Jordan for your priceless advice ❤
Yaaaaaaaaaaay
how did you find this person??
I've accepted it.
Simple but good advice for everyone! And a very positive outlook. Thank you JP!
... ... all flawed advice ... JP admits himself that attraction is unknown ... so finding love outside of family, through biased groups and people without your best interests is unsurprisingly vague ...
@@dn1697 So don't put yourself out there, improve yourself? I disagree with you. Anything you can do to make yourself look better will not hurt you.
@@Killgore52 ... I'm definitely out there .... in Spain from England without language skills ... turned my life upside down ... more complex that can be articulated on here.
I've tried all that and never succeeded.
The reason is because I hope. I hoped that I will find someone. I hoped that I won't stay alone forever. So when my efforts don't bear fruit, I get disappointed and feel like I didn't try hard enough or that I'm not worthy to find it. But no, I am worthy, and I did try my best.
What I've learnt is that putting too much hope into something might or might not happen is a dumb way to live because when it doesn't pan out the way you'd want to, you feel disappointed and even worse, you might even be depressed.
The lesson that I've learnt is that I shouldn't be hoping too much. I'm fine where I'm at. I don't pressure myself to find love. If it happens, it happens. I find myself being more calm, more neutral. I can see that I can finally have joy in the little things in life. I also took relationship/love/marriage etc from the pedestal and put it on parr with being single. I'm more stoic than ever. It can be hard to come to terms with the possibility of never finding love, but it's worthwhile journey on its own. I'm never ever going to lie to myself that "someone is out there for me". Because it may very well be that no one is there 😅.
Thanks Dad
I think I enjoy being single (been about 18 months) after 19 years of not being single, but I do get lonely from time to time. The thing is, I am now 35 and not getting any younger and I wonder if this single life is sustainable, or if I'll grow old and regret not trying to get back out there, because I'm not trying to date anymore. Is this normal?
I have that same concern. I think it’s because of the fact that we do grow old and die that feelings of loneliness come up from time to time.
Suppose we were immortal and that we can neither age nor die. Would us single Pringles be content staying single? Would we feel those same bouts of loneliness as frequently as you would right now? I argue we’ll eventually get lonely, but used to this feeling over time. We’ll likely just become more bored than lonely, wouldn’t you say? Not something we humans can’t handle. Emotions are natural, but another fabric weaved into the human condition.
If you feel that you’re better off single despite your worries, then you will have no problem staying so in a hundred or thousand years. But, if you feel that cashing in a relationship is actually more fulfilling, go for it while you’re in the here and now.
What you’re feeling is normal, but there’s a saying when engaging in anything: “If you drink water, remember the source.”
Growing old is pretty shit no matter what you do. My older neighbor who was in a happy marriage and has kids had to see his wife slowly decline and die in front of him. Truth is everyone dies horribly and if you are lucky you will have loved ones around to watch you suffer.
@@ponternal what a cynical and horrible outlook on aging. I feel sorry for you bud, you sound miserable. Men get better with age as long as you put in the work. Women only need to worry about having children in time. Aging is a beautiful process if you played your cards right, I’m assuming you haven’t. Not everyone dies horribly. Lots of people die peacefully in their sleep, in the arms of a loved one, etc. Get help.
@@TLongUSA97 I don’t think it’s cynical. I think he’s right, maybe not for all but majority of us will suffer at some point in life and lose loved ones. Some of us are/will be lucky enough to age graciously but some are and will be suffering. Stop calling people miserable because they don’t romanticise getting old and dying!
People can get lonely even being married or having friends. Its not about being just single. But know that God will never leave you nor forsake you if you believe in Jesus. Don’t date if you believe its not for you. Even if you change your mind 20yrs later, there are still opportunities to meet someone special for you. It just sounded that you had a past that can be addressed, seek help if needed. Once you are healed then you are ready to be out there for that special one at the right time. Just enjoy each day God gives!
I love you Professor Peterson! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

@@Feber2001 I'd say roll with the punches and push forward. Family is too important to give up on. (Not to say that you can't find fulfillment down other paths)
@@steampowered6883 Your view is too optimistic and bound for failure.... at least for me. I don't want to get betrayed again. I've been in therapy for a year because of it. I don't think I can handle another heartbreak like that
Nah, dating sites will only knock you down even further if you're an average looking male. It all basically boils down to looks or power (i.e. money) and if you don't have one of these, you're fucked. That's why my only wish is to forget it all and find some sort of comfort in being alone, no matter how bleak and depressing such a life may seem.
not at all... but if you look for someone who is similar to you then you will find someone. Some will indeed get more chances but all you need is one right. You have to be in it to win it, if you leave the game early then you've already lost. Sometimes we over shoot and that can be an issue also, we all have to be realistic.
This man is so frustrating, sometimes he says absolutely wild shit but then he says great stuff like this AND I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL 😭😭 but he was spot on with this
I feel the exact same way
JP you are such a gem. God bless you man
Those things never worked for me.
Then there came a stalker that wouldn't leave me the hell alone.
God I wish that were me..
@@JoeMama69xx You WANT a stalker?
@@toomuchinformation Of course, it is my only true dream
@@JoeMama69xx Well, they're less likely to kill you, so that must help.
@@toomuchinformation So you're telling me there's a chance..
I can find love, but this love won't be the one i want. This is the problem. My love is too idealized, I guess.
"a dating site"? those places are about the worst places to find true love.
When u have everything but no skills socially…well it’s tough.. social anxiety shy girl here
Damn. What a fucking dad. Love you, JP ❤
Well it won't be good enough...
If you’re trying to find love, go to a hopeless place. That’s where Rihanna found her true love, her umbrella.
Wouldn't take advice from that witch
I think thats kinda true since people who have nothing will aprreciate something more than how normal people do
I did this and regret it heavily now because my heart breaks every day. I became vulnerable with someone for once and only got hurt and now am afraid to get back out there.
Just accept that you will never find love, and stop worrying.
That was so heartfelt and sweet
This was so deep on so many levels...🤔
Mr. Peterson has clearly never been at the online dating scene 🙃
Really good advice friend, Thanks
Having been left by the love of my life. I know I'll never meet anyone ever again. No matter how i improve my life, i cant allow someone that close again. Women no longer make the effort to connect with someone. Or to allow connection to happen at all. Society has ruined dating. Its days like these i question why im doing all this work. Maybe tomorrow will be better. But i know it won't be
damn, i am already doing all that and still worry i won't find my love... i am 39 soon...
Does my computer count? I clean it every 2 months, I don't bloat it, I make sure to delete trash files, I don't overclock it too much and I also upgrade it every couple years so we together can keep up with the games that challenge us. Granted, I overuse it sometimes I give it time for itself when I'm at work or out with friends. It's perfect and it's enough for me, for now.
Life is easy with you Jordan🖤

What has worked for me is seeing every relationship as an iteration, as you would do to solve a mathematical problem. Some get it right the first time. Some get it right the 100th time. Don't rush it, but do stick to your own goals and time limits. Falling in love is easy. What is hard is getting over it before trying again while also trying to keep balance in your life.
i don't think you can call it true love when she/he falls for your money or good looking. the feels that are inside are matter.
hmm,,,unfortunately people start to love people outside in.....rare cases hv been seen the other way around
Wow as simple as that.
I ll come back and watch this again everyday.
Hoping to find love or even good friends
Hahahahah
This is so wholesome :3
Wow. Needed to hear this. JP, you always have the words.
Im 24 years old however I believe Im quite mature and understand how life works. Heres the brutal truth. You are alone in this world, you are born alone and you die alone. World is cruel and cold and its you against everyone. Its getting worse because its getting more competitive but not in a good way. I tried to get a girlfriend for the past 3 years, I approached roughly 60 girls and I couldnt get a date with one of them. I never had a girlfriend and I never had a kiss. To be honest the older I get I just dont care anymore. I serve my own purpose and I try to improve myself with each passing day. I stand up and fight for myself. Im only 24 but I feel like a real man. I dont care what anyone thinks. I love me and I will love myself the most until I die cause nobody else will.
Sounds like you’ve decided to give up and be stubborn in your misery. Hope someone manages to change your mind on that someday, it’s a sad mindset to be in.
@@conner8400 Im just realistic brother
You sound like a good guy. Please don't close your heart to other people and the possibility to find real love, because it will happen! So happy to hear that at 24 you are mature and want to find a relationship. My advice is to keep your heart open, give love and love will find you!
I was quite surprised at his answer of "go on tinder" 😆 I thought he'd say make your damn bed and be a monster, THEN she'll arrive....
Right. I have to disagree with Dr. Peterson here. Dating apps can be really toxic..
I don't really think Jordan Peterson knows how Tinder actually works.
@@gunner0182fps could chu elaborate bro
To be fair he didnt say Tinder. There are other dating apps that are less toxic
Mr. Peterson said to make a profile on a dating website, not an STD club.
I'm 39 and I'm too old to find love now. I'm too middle aged and too creepy to meet a nice lady for myself.
Thanks, needed to hear this!
“And maybe that (love) will be good enough.” Damn. Sadly, the dating app culture has screwed with any “good enough” theory. 😢
It's mostly hook up culture and believe it or not we not all into that.
I gave up on that myth a long time ago. I find my solitude peaceful for the most part.
At least you have your dog, assuming it's yours anyway lol
@@hermitkrab792 she was my daughter for 15yrs. Love of my life
@@KozueMegami so you failed to find love?
Quitters never win and winners never quit. Always remember that. We live in a world of constant maintenance, you’re either evolving or deteriorating. I could tell by the way you speak, you possess a lot of stubbornness so I wouldn’t be surprised if you don’t listen to me.
@@user-qe7bt9dz1l No-one evolves after 60
Don't worry. Be happy. Bobby McFerrin
Thank you for validating my worries right now 😭😭😭
I will genuinely never find love.
Same
Probably might die alone and nobody will miss me when i grow old and it's my time to die
@@mikhailabunidal9146 Dont ever think that, there is always hope! Even in the darkest of times!
Vic Vinegar, I have similar fear but I prefer to keep my hopes high.
@@courtney8475 You should. Dont be like me and abandon hope. Stay positive
Should I be worried if I never searched for love and never wanted it? (I'm definitley not asexual)
No, if you don't want it then what's the point? The thing is we have built in our DNA that we should reproduce, so we can get anxiety from being alone, even though we want. The trick is to overcome that if you truly want to live alone. There are plenty of men and women you can have strictly sexual relationships with, if you are not satisfied with pleasing yourself.
You are not alone feel comforted
Exactly. Don't worry about the externals. Do your part. Hope for the best.
Just give it
Love yourself first , Work out , stay healthy , educate yourself , set goals in your life...and someone outthere will love to live with you
I do all of those and I'm still single, I'm tired of it
Unfortunately even if you do all those things, love may not come. Still, it is better if you do those things.
Travel overseas and someone will hold you in high steem the moment you put yourself out there. Western society is doomed. 🤮🤮🤮
@@mmors ur doing it wrong
@@rooster555555 how? I workout 4 times a week and meal prep all my food its actually one of my passions i have set and reached multiple financial and career goals for myself and i have many more that i wanna achieve in the future, I'm always learning and looking for ways to learn a new skill or get better at something, I actually love the person I've become and am excited to see what I'll do with my future, how am I doing it wrong?
YOU are all YOU need
the problem with society is that we are too fixated in finding “the one” but never stop and think if we are worthy enough for “the one”
I’m 55 and single,the last thing on my mind is finding love.
I’m pretty happy on my own.
At a point, everyone deserve to be loved.
@courtney8475 that strong love only last for a little bit. Most of my friends in relationships are actually miserable and it shows. I dont think american women can truly love.
I did have a girl in my life once but before it became anything serious I messed it up because I was so paranoid. I had such low self esteem that I literally could not believe she was with me because she liked me. I basically lost my mind. thought she was sleeping with other guys or making fun of me behind my back. I got angry at her often basically accusing her of such things. Never said it directly but just went on and on about her male friends and stuff like that. She didn't want to put up with it anymore. That was 3 years ago. I still miss her sometimes, and I am still convinced I will never find love.
I literally met her through discord believe it or not, she started talking to me. We met up and spend only about 3 months seeing eachother regularly. I still don't know why or how she was attracted to me. And such a chance encounter is insanely rare. I basically threw away the only oppertunity I had or ever will have to have a partner.
I stopped caring. My goals are more important.
Agree except in the dating app part. I’d stay away from that
