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.
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".
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.
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...
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.
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.
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.
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 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’…
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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....
@@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.......
He’s stealing other peoples work He has to hide it.
@@AndrewDasilvaPLT that sucks, would you know the original author?
Is the audio bad?,it's Questionable..... But you can hear
Because he’s a very smart man

I ❤️ Mike Rowe and he is married to his career!!
Seemed a rude question to ask. Mike wasn't expecting it, but he answered brilliantly even though it's no one's business.
Mike has a great philosophy about life in general
Honestly..there is a lack of commitment and loyalty in society at all levels.
Absolutely, especially loyalty.
Awful audio! Why would anybody upload this?
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".
I sleep with Mike (at least his voice) every night!! 😅😅😅
How is it anyone's business why Mike isn't married?
I agree. I watch because I like his show dirty jobs.
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.

😢❤😮🎉❤😂@@davewriter100
Long answer for I hate commitment and I like strange occasionally.
He is one brilliant man. Don’t ever get married and don’t ever have children the only way to go.
He made the right decision.
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.

"Just walk away Renee..." I couldn't figure anything wittier. Wittyer?
@@bradleyflinn3421 Ouch 🤕, but it was definitely witty. (BTW-UA-cam has a lot of really good versions of that song by a lot of various artists)
hilarious. can I come along when you meet Mike (*wink, wink)?
😆😆
wittier. you're welcome @@bradleyflinn3421

Cant watch. Terrible audio.
Turn sound off, turn captions on
@@JosieStev i prefer audio but thanks.
He has a longtime lady friend he lives with. They seem to have a great relationship that works for them.
Fix the audio.
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.
Right on Mike. I’m the same way.
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 want to marry Mike when he grows up.😊😊😊
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. 😊❤
No one asked.
@@timmilder8313 troll.
He never really answered the question.
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!😂
Love the show, BUT turn up the noise reduction on edit & repost!
Mike Rowe dodged that question pretty well.
Try to fix the Audio good format 👍🏻
Thanks for the feed back
I bet Mike would be a great person to have in your circle.
Because he's smart
Thanks for sharing this video !
He isn't married becasue he doesn't want to be married. It's no one's business but his.
UNWATCHABLE due to the horrendous audio. WTF
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’…
Yeah marriage can be rough (says the
guy that's been married since '71)
Don't tell her I didn't do the math

Life is much happier single
Mike was married to Judy when they both were hosts on QVC!!!
Horrible video. It's nobody's business if he's married or not. Why does it even matter?
Awesome as always
Some people get married. Some never do. Either way...
Who ran the audio on this? I'm not a professional audio engineer, but even I can hear how bad this is.
A diplomatic response. Seems like they're more he's not saying.

Have 2 cats thats enough for me!!!!!!!!!!!

Jesus delete this. It's unlistenable. My day is worse for having watched this. I'm irritable now!
We all know why. He lives in San Francisco.
Can't be true he's too smart
He is Gay?!
Mike Rowe seems really switched on .. until you realise he’s a massive Trump supporter.

All the more reason to like him if he is.
