Very interesting how Mike Rowe thought about marriage and kids. He seems like an honest guy and answers is pure to his beliefs. He wasn’t sure he could step up in that section in his life. Not everyone is into marriage, family and some people are. I ❤️ Mike Rowe and he is married to his career!!
I'm 70 in a few months, have never been married, and have no kids. Over the years, I've had a number of relationships and have been with the same woman for 24 years. Relationships are work. They are not "if it happens, it happens".
God bless you 🙏❤. For me it's very interesting because I was in heroin addict for 20 years have been off for over a year and a half almost 2 years now and haven't been in a relationship in almost three and a half years because I was really busy working on myself and now things are very interesting. I was just talking with a lady at the grocery store really nice attractive who asked for my number actually. I think what I'm really dealing with is even though I'm living in a good place which I can afford and have a part-time job right now but no degree or serious professional things like being in the trades or anything good like that so I feel so not worthy compared to a lot of my contemporaries who didn't use drugs and good for them who have a lot more in life monetarily and I live in a really expensive part of the nation. One of the hard parts for me has been the sex drive coming back in full force to say the least even worse than being a young kid after using drugs for so long. Thankfully I've had many relationships with women and have definitely sowed my wild oats to say the least previously so at least I don't have that issue. Very much appreciate Mike's answer and being honest and with you being honest that is becoming very rare in society. God bless you 🙏❤
Mike is a very smart man and also respectable, honest, sensible, etc, however, he will be lonely at some point. We're not meant to traverse this life alone. Family and friends are critically important, but they aren't a partner in life. Pursue MGTOW at your own risk.
@@ryankuypers1819There are some people who marry unwisely. And there are absolutely some people who should 𝘯𝘰𝘵 be married. Believe me, there are far worse things in life than being lonely. Some can deal with loneliness, some can't.
Mike Rowe was hosting New Homes shows in Maryland way back in the early 90's...He has a voice that is unmistakable ........ The man has been a legend for decades. Why waste time by inquiring relationship status...
I try to because I like his podcasts so much.... But when he goes into a break and starts singing - it wakes me right up so defeats the purpose of listening to him while trying to sleep.
I'm thinking these are the married couples who have the perfect lives and the perfect marriages and like to look down on people who are not married. They are stuck in that moment of time where a man was seen as a "loser" if he was not married and/or a parent by the time he was 30. This is especially if the man was working a "lowly" trade that required digging holes or another such job instead the "glamourous, high-powered" world of corporate business, or even something that really makes a man like a factory or engineering company. It's not just women who are continually subjected to friends and family asking "When are you going to get married? When are you going to have children?" And nothing that singleton says will ever convince them: "Oh, you're just scared, you're going to be a great father." They should take a look at the men who stay late at work every night just to avoid their children, and when they do spend time with them, it's violent.
He pushes conservative values, one of the strongest being marriage. He sure seemed to hold his wrist in a limp manner as he gave no real kind of answer. It's obvious why he isn't married. I saw his main ex. She's very "pixie" like, kind of like a fairy. Maybe he's looking for the right fairy?
As a never-been-married 53 year old, I’ve had the same philosophy. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t, so be it. But I don’t go out looking to get married, or in a relationship. I’ve also remained friendly with my exes, and close friends with one of them who is now married with two children whom I absolutely adore.
@@gusmonster59 not true. How could whole nations/ethnic backgrounds have historically general low IQ’s and others have generally high IQ’s if some aspect of genetics don’t come into play?
I had a college roomate whose dad would always say "Don't force it! You'll probably end up breaking it." I guess he said this when it came to trying to fix something like in home repair work. Best piece of advice I've ever heard. Notice how you can apply it to different areas of life.
Wow, lots of bitter posts. Sorry your marriages aren't up to par. Its like any relationship. It takes work on both sides. BTW? Married to the same guy for 30 yrs. 😊❤
Yes he did. He just didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. Now be a good boy/ girl or whatever you think you wanna be and get married like your parents tell ya!😂
I'm not married and people ask this all the time. They think something is wrong with you or you are scared of the thing or gay. I have relationships when I wanted and didn't when I didn't.
same here...I never felt I could financially support that lifestyle,wife,kids,house home ...my parents did but somehow they were maybe too busy to express their ideas on the subject...they never sat me down and explained how it works. 61 now and still single...a few long relationships behind me...lots of people think i'm much younger...maybe I've avoided the stress physically and mentally...I've had women say I'm not serious enough. oh well.
I grew up in a Leave It To Beaver Family Lifestyle I did not know anybody that got divorced among my my friends parents. Married my first girlfriend had two perfect boys. I can't imagine anything different.
I love the way he answered it…his self awareness is amazing! He never found a relationship that he wanted to commit to. And evidently his career and other interests were enough so he didn’t “need” a woman. As far as him wanting a woman…maybe he just wasn’t in love. Or, what ev’…
I’m a Christian and we were put on this earth to first have a relationship with God , next to find a mate, fall in love and procreate. How do you think God intended to replenish the earth? If you are a good person which I believe he is, there is a lot to be said for a relationship and volumes to be said about having children. I’ve been married 56 years. It has been the best part of my life and the best decision I ever made, after accepting Jesus as my Savior. Thirdly, my children are a gift from God and I won’t even talk about what grandchildren bring to my life. You can have a career, friends, nice things - nothing takes the place of a committed relationship and family. Still to each, his own.
Yea, Mike is pretty cool. I am surprised he's not married. He's comfortable with himself and that's ok too. There's no rule that marriage is manditory. Yes, agreed, your audio was bad Pat.
What you forget to take into consideration is that you would not be here only for a relationship. Business would not be able to be done if there were no people.
Marriage & kids is a huge & permanent responsibility. There are emotional & spiritual expectations. If one is not ready to be a good husband or dad, then don't put yourself in that role as it will be harmful for everyone; the guilt, the manipulations, the disappointments & addictions that could develop... Mike is a realist & knows this. Oprah has the same philosophy.
Marriage is wonderful, i am in one but American people just make marriage seem very scary. If one couple is rich, the other partner get divorce to get other person pay all the money and make them broke and they make the kids to be against the other partner paying them the money. It's not supposed to be like that, if it doesn't work then allow the other to go in peace. In America it makes it seems like money is the reason they marry for the most part.
My daughter is 50, divorced for years and never re- married. She would have made a wonderful mother. She has made a great career but her life is all about her and what makes her happy. She isn’t selfish but she definitely comes first in her mind. I can easily see that not having someone to love and share life with makes her sad at times.
Marriage is a bad deal for men. If you want to get married, at least take the time to go down to the divorce and family courts, and see with your own eyes what will happen when your marriage goes south!
every man i have counseled "to not force himself into a marriage"; has failed (including myself with 26yrs of living, an adulterous hell). in approach to my second marriage "i did not seek to marry"...nor runaround like a whore hound; but waited and watched and found an "exquisite pearl" whom i married 28yrs. ago...and "still firing on all cylinders"...all these years later! Mike...Thank you and Your Team for all the Hard Work and Great Video Content...Very Best to You and Yours. walt+mrs
Mike Rowe is a very pragmatic guy and he's really good at cutting through the BS. He knows a bad deal when he sees one, and he can see marriage is a terrible deal for a man. No traditional wife, no traditional values, high divorce rates, alimony, child support. Its a State run transfer of wealth from the higher income earner to the lower income earner, in most cases this is husband to wife....
I’ve enjoyed him for decades, but it’s sad that he lacks the spiritual awareness of the importance of the Sacrament of Marriage in contrast to living in sin, fornication. Saying another prayer for his conversion and that of his girlfriend.
His voice is mid grade, baritone rasp. I used to like to watch him get soused and sweaty faced drinking wine on "Evening Magazine" in SF. He sort of had that slippery, slimy look. Basically, I'm just jealous because I couldn't wrangle my parents a national TV commercial like he did. However, I put him right up there with other nauseating, TV over-exposures like Dog The Bounty hunter, Matt Crouch, owner of TBN, Paul Teutul of Orange County Choppers, Danny Koker of Counting Cars, Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars and The Ligina brothers of The Oak Island Fiascos.
@@desert_yeti9852 yea sure mate , Trump got caught in 2019 stealing cancer Research money from his bogus Golf Charity.. so numbnuts how’s your family , anyone with desperate cancer problems . So anyone that follows someone like that is just as bad , now go away.
@@The_Podcast_Shack That’s means underpants if you support someone like Trump who’s so pathetic that he can’t accept defeat like a man he has to steal a election and then constantly lie about it ever since shows he’s not that sharp , in fact it shows he supports treasonous con men.
@CynLouWho yea mate to you it doesn’t make sense because you support someone that’s in the middle of a rape trial at the moment, someone that got caught in 2919 stealing cancer Research money from his bogus Golf Charity, so to you it doesn’t make sense even if you have family members with desperate cancer problems … it doesn’t make sense to Trump supporters because they are just as bad as him & deep down inside they know this but are too weak to admit it.
The audio was horrible! Why would you even publish something like this?
to get away with stealing content.
thought it was just me so thanks for saying that........audio sucks on this video.......

Seemed a rude question to ask. Mike wasn't expecting it, but he answered brilliantly even though it's no one's business.

He has a longtime lady friend he lives with. They seem to have a great relationship that works for them.
Men need to take responsibility!
I can totally relate to Mike's philosophy to just go with the flow, and to let life unfold naturally.......no forcing.
I hate to be crude, but Im old so I can say what I think.....too bad Mike didn't pass on those AMAZING GENES
More than sometimes, the genes from the other half(no matter how good they look) are spoiled, and this logic backfire's 10 fold.
What amazing genes? His looks? His mind? Your mind can be amazing if you want it be. Genetics plays a very small part of being intelligent.
He can have kids even now if he want
Are you offering?
@@gusmonster59 not true. How could whole nations/ethnic backgrounds have historically general low IQ’s and others have generally high IQ’s if some aspect of genetics don’t come into play?
Cant watch. Terrible audio.
Turn sound off, turn captions on
@@JosieStev i prefer audio but thanks.
Yep that works for me
But I do miss his dulcit tones but at least I can see him 😜
He made the right decision.

There's a reason marriage is called an institution!!

UNWATCHABLE due to the horrendous audio. WTF
Right on Mike. I’m the same way.
It is none of our business why he’s not married! Stay our of his business!
I'm not married and people ask this all the time. They think something is wrong with you or you are scared of the thing or gay. I have relationships when I wanted and didn't when I didn't.
Love the show, BUT turn up the noise reduction on edit & repost!
The US legal system makes marriage very unfavorable for men in dissolution. Prob no longer a good option.
Mike Rowe dodged that question pretty well.

Yeah marriage can be rough (says the
guy that's been married since '71)
Don't tell her I didn't do the math

A diplomatic response. Seems like they're more he's not saying.
Oh , I thought it was my phone that was causing the terrible audio!! Thanks
Nothing in the bible says we need governments approval to be married. A commitment to another is marriage.

Sound is quiet terrible. The cracking n popping is hard to deal with. Edit your work.
I’m on my third marriage and I’ve been married for 43 years but have never had kids. Kids are overrated and commiting financial suicide.
