  • It is getting harder for good people to find compatible companionship in this day and age. Especially for young people who are looking for a mate. You cannot always find the match that you were looking for, but you don’t always need to.

      This is true! I get more satisfaction trying to make myself happy instead of trying to please someone who thought it was normal to diappear and go no contact whilst working away for days/weeks/months and after years of enduring this, threw a tantrum when I did it back to him. This man had double standards and I could never measure up enough for him despite keeping well groomed, paying all the bills, educating myself, remaining loyal to him. These days, I'm at a point where I would like someone but not necessarily "need" someone in my life. After 4 years I decided I will no longer settle.

      Young man...always have a dog (if money allows). Work hard and try to have at least one good older male friend. Mentor. Walk that dog twice a day. Morning and evening. Minimum 10K steps a day. That wards off depression and your dog will love you all the more for that. Even if you don't consider yourself a "religious" person, think about getting connected to a church community. Sure there are some assholes, but then there are assholes everywhere, and if you stand out as a rational and kind young man in a community of assholes, you will attract the attention of (hopefully) some quality people and some of them will be female. Who knows, maybe the Spirit of God will tap you and fill you with authentic joy and peace that will blow you away. Peace and happiness to you, my young friend.

    Less than two minutes in, you hit it right on the head. Basic respect in culture is disappearing. Men are suffering in SILENCE. This is a huge social issue that stems from many different things. Work environments, social pressures, lack of morals etc. Men are killing themselves. I'm JUST fine being alone - doesn't bother me one bit. The key is self improvement guys. Work on yourselfs'. Maintain your lane and goals, and if a woman is in your plan, she will reveal herself in time. Be okay working on yourself and achieving personal goals, even if they are simple. Start by making your bed every morning- That's a good first step for you.
    - Practice being where your feet are. - Don't live in the past, you are YOU right now. LET'S GO MEN!

My grandma is too old and has lost her mind a little bit because of the age. I feel sad knowing I lost good moments I could of shared with them, and their knowledge. It was even harder since they lived in Romania and I in Canada.
      I hope one day your family will learn from their mistakes and come back to you. We never know the luck we have until it's gone. We tend to forget they have been through this and had time to think about it and see it on the long term while we are just experiencing it at the moment.

I just moved back home to my dads house to take care of him as his health is declining. I’m looking at is as a beautiful thing, spending time with my old man while he’s still here. However, I want to be successful, find love, own a home, have children, but it all seems so impossible. These videos you make really help me get through these hard times, I feel so isolated and alone every single day, but when I watch clips like this, it makes me feel less alone. Thank you.

      I'm 33 almost 34, living with my parents in the countryside, no friends near, only internet friends that seem far. I couldn't find myself a good job so I am doing many projects, but I find it hard sometimes que loneliness kicks in. You are still young, try your best with what you have right now. Don't look at the past mistakes. Dont overdo easy drugs like sugar, porn, tiktok, etc. They drain out your will to do things. Not every day you will be motivated to do things. Life is hard, those folk who have 8 hour jobs are having a hard time, they are killing themselves slowly. We have the chance to work for ourselves.

      I'll just make this point - I spent my 20s working on a 'career' that I just *happily* abandoned at 37. What you do to make money, and how much you make, does *not* define you. Neither does presence or absence of a partner. My father passed a few years back. I hadn't seen him since I was 13, I always wanted to get halfway across the country to visit him but kept telling myself, "There's plenty of time, I'll save for that plane ticket next year." Next year never came. He passed, and no one even bothered to tell me he was in rough shape until 6 months after. That's one regret I'll probably take to my grave. At 40 you'll have forgotten all about feeling like you were lagging behind your peers at 26, you'll have learned there are more important things in life than keeping up with the Joneses. Enjoy your dad while you can.

    The internet, and especially social media, has absolutely torn the fabric of society asunder. I'm still a young man by most definitions but am old enough to remember back pre-Facebook when you could disagree on politics/policy with someone and still break bread with them or enjoy a beer over a game. Nowadays, forget it, just hate all the way down at the first whiff of disagreement. I used to feel lonely and alienated, but now just learned that doing my own thing away from everyone else is the best path to peace in the modern world. Improvise, adapt, overcome.

    Thank you for this. When I was 27, I got out of an engagement with an unfaithful woman. I sold most of my possessions, left my old job behind, threw what I had left in my vehicle, and hit the road. Ended up in the sticks in Oklahoma working as a steelworker with the best quality of life I've ever had, my own small humble home, and the best damn dog a man could ask for. It's like you said, it truly takes courage to leave everything that you know and makes you comfortable behind to go into the unknown. It's unsettling and its uncomfortable sometimes. The loneliness was hard to deal with at first. It would keep me up at night, it was a bad feeling I couldn't chase away.
    But it turned into peace. Genuine peace. It turned into self-reflection and growing as a man. Everyday, every task is an accomplishment that I achieved. You're a wise man, sir, thank you for sharing your thoughts. It's always good to have more tools for the mental toolkit. Continue to be a good man.

    New sub here. Got married when I was 30 and my wife and I had two boys. In 2006 my wife passed away suddenly from a brain aneurysm at age 40. My two sons were 10 and 7 at the time. I worked full time ( self employed construction) full time and raised my two sons with the help of family on both sides. I spent ALL of my free time with my two boys. They came first, no exceptions. Had absolutely no desire to date or form a relationship while my boys were young. My Dad wasn’t able to spend as much time with me as I wanted so I wasn’t going to make the same mistake. My two sons went to church and belonged to the youth group while growing up. Now my sons are 26 and 23 and are both pursuing their goals and working hard. I have not dated since my wife passed away. Sometimes I feel lonely for companionship but after 16 years of being single I am set in my ways and I enjoy being able to come and go as I please. I retired 2 years ago at age 56 and have found some interests to keep me busy and mostly content. It’s hard to know what to do ( relationship or stay single) because today you don’t know who you can trust and too many people are all about themselves.

      He says this towards the end of his video, I believe what he means is as the world implodes around you sometimes, be strong and hold fast to your truths and strength’s. For me it’s realizing that I can’t always control what’s going on around me, but continue to be a good strong man, and leaning more on faith and God to control the things I cannot. Hope this helps.

      @@mattday4661 i absolutely agree with 'holding fast to your truths and strengths' - lotta people get pressured by the environment around them to sacrifice their morals & values for the sake of money or the safety of their family. however, if you stay steadfast in your beliefs, your inspiration can help change the environment around you to one that doesn't require others to sacrifice the values that make them, them!

    Never heard this video but swear I was answering all your questions with you. You speaking what everybody knows on the inside but came to you to hear what they already know like some sort of validation. That’s why I stopped watching self help videos and started to help self. All by opening my mouth and speaking and opening myself to reality and new experiences. Love life yall open up, being closed off and conceited ain’t being strong it’s being weak and sick, shi I get sick of people too that’s life, just be open and like he said speak your heart and trust what’s in you is for you, you just gotta walk the path you see boyz. Love and peace is my wishes for you all

    I have to say Dwayne this was the most intellectual and intelligent video I have seen for a long time. Definitely I take the advice of... to like yourself and like to be in your own company and better yourself no matter what. Big up for the cigar... Thank you for making this video. God bless

    "If tearing people down to your level is the only way to achieve equality - that's not equality."
    This is the message millions of people - young men and women - needed to hear at a younger age.

      To me that's not what feminism is and was meant for. It's about fighting for the equal rights we all deserve, women or men. Too bad nowadays it's viewed as something negative.

    Well said Sir. Wisdom and experience are the best tools to help one to be OK with oneself. And you Sir, being one provided with those tools, is the best fountain of knowledge for those in need of words of wisdom.

  • @trumpssleepparalysisdemon8569

    This is the second video I've watched of this man. In today's society a legend could be considered a celebrity, rapper, or a politician. But this man is a legend in my book. He's like an uncle we all never had but always wanted. Something about this man just seems so heartwarming and delightful to be around with. Thank you for all that you do Mr. Cowboy sir. And apologies for my inappropriate profile.
