    For years I was ashamed of being single, because of past teasing about it. Being high-functioning autistic, it can sometimes be hard to know if the teasing is hurtful or playful. It actually took getting off of social media, and getting treated for anxiety to help realize that being single isn’t bad at all. I have many friends that I hang out regularly, and I get to do what I want. It would just be nice if people didn’t judge others for being single. Just let people be.

      As a person who has studied autism extensively, I can assure you that you are normal and just like everyone else. Ask the individuals who are teasing if their teasing means that they like you. Usually teasing means that they like you. If they didn't like you then they probably wouldn't tease you. I hope that this helps.

    I'm a 55 year old man. No kids and never married. Been single for 9 years. I enjoy being single, well actually I love it. No drama, I get to spend my money any way I want to. It's peaceful and very quiet. If I'm dating a woman, she's not in competition with other women. But rather she's in competition with my happiness being alone. If a woman gives me a headache I simply walk away. It's not worth my time or effort. I have plenty of friends and plenty of toys to enjoy my life. I have 2 motorcycles, a Seadoo, a power boat and a canoe, a car, 3 trucks, plus 2 ATV's I stay active and fairly physically fit. I own my own home with no mortgage and have over 100 acres of river front property. Definately No boredom here! 😊😂 I do what I want, when I want. No one gets to leave me and take half my stuff.

      2-) Sure alone is good, when you die you will become burden to your neighbours who will realize someone died because of the smell. Don't bother others with you are dying. If you had medical situation that can be saved, you might die because you are all alone.
      3-) You mean like "I couldn't have date since 2017". You didn't even have a choice buddy. Easy to see your bullshit.

    There are benefits and downsides to being in a relationship or being single. People need to stop trying to put one over the other and understand that one isn't extremely better than the other. It all depends on the season of your life that you're in. Maybe if you're meant to be single in order to work on yourself, instead of hating that just embrace it. Instead of complaining about your relationship, look at the things that make being with someone awesome. Life is all about perspective.

      Exactly 💯. Congratulations on Courtney's 700k subscribers 👏🎉. I like being single too as I'm a 24 year old Christian virgin SOOOO YEAH 👍. Wanting relationships with others is a natural part of life but physical conditioning and fitness is crucial for healthy living and relationships. Men are expected to lead in the relationship with her, take care of themselves physically/emotionally and psychologically as well as be self sufficient because Women like Men who are better than them in certain aspects but are Women deserving of Men? Roma Downey is another UA-cam channel with content like this. My ideal Lady would be considered a borderline imaginary chick nowadays with brains and beauty who is kind , accountable for their actions and words and doesn't hate people 😭💔. I really respect Mrs. Ryan for at least trying to help Men and Women out in promoting healthy relationships, positive mindsets and growth in individual 🙏 ❤️. I'm a guy working as a teacher and counselor seeing unhealthy relationships in people occasionally despite being single myself because I'm succeeding alone in DA ZONE 😂. I've been watching Courtney Ryan's videos since 2021 so her channel is really helpful especially on UA-cam and social media. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
      Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
      ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
      Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant

    Whilst I really want to be in a relationship and be married, and have companionship, I really try to make the most of being single by focussing on myself. So I just get out and do stuff, hiking, walking, rollerskating, travelling to new places. My friends have made great comments about me getting out and do all those activities, and that has boosted my self-esteem, and that I am a catch.
    Rather be out and about, doing stuff, keeping busy, achieving new skills than wallow in self-pity feeling like no woman wants me. I did that in the past, and it didn’t do me any favours.

    Point number 3 is so important. I'm one of the only single people amongst my friends. Most of them live with their significant others, yet they all make time for me. They prioritized their friendships when they were single, and those friendships become important for when they are in relationships; and making time is not as easy as when they were single. It is also beneficial to me for when I do get into a relationship again. I have so many friends that can relate to specifics and provide perspectives that are important, as well as knowing I can count on them.
    On the contrary, I have seen examples (thankfully not many) where people get into relationships and lose sight of their friendships (for whatever reason) and let me say, that ends up biting them down the road, especially if that relationship fails.

If they can't take care of themselves they are not good for a relationship. And you're looking for the wrong person or wrong thing. If you have kids that's a different story, of course you'll need to take care of kids.

    I tried getting back into the dating scene last year, after my divorce, new apartment, and subsequent weight loss. I had a few good dates, but nothing that resulted in a LTR. It was then that I fully embraced the single life and came to enjoy it. I'm reading more books, continuing with my weight loss, getting out a bit more, and enjoying the peace and quiet. I've taken the attitude that if I meet someone, great. If not, oh well. I have plenty of other things to do and a whole life to live. And as others have pointed out, it really IS better to be single than it is to be in an unhappy relationship. 🙂

    Another perk to being single is listening to your friends Stories of woe. While they do backflips trying to please girlfriend/wife and you just look at them and think (better you than me) but you tell them it's worth it because that's the love of their l life. Then, as a bachelor, you go to a sushi bar and have a drink to your selfish life of peace, quiet, rest, relaxation & freedom.

    The greatest advantage of being single is the decisional power. That makes a world of difference!
    14 years ago, while driving on a highway, I took the wrong exit. I got lost, I entered some unassumed roads, with construction sites on each side. I have seen a banner "Last chance to own a house at a discounted price! Only a few homes left!"
    2 hours later I was applying for a mortgage with a bank. I got the approval and I have purchased a preconstruction.
    Now, the house is worth 3 times more!
    I was actually trying to buy a router that day but I purchased a house instead!
    When I tell people this story they believe I'm crazy! Who does that?
    The truth is I was desperately trying to buy a house but every offer I checked was over my budget.
    This house ticked all the boxes. It was not an impulse buy!
    I see cheap offers, fly to X, fly to Y! Wow, that's really cheap. I take it!
    I do not have to ask anyone. I do not have to check anyone else's schedule. Or if they like to take a vacation there.
    It's just me! It's simple!

    The most important thing about being single (especially for an extremely long time) is that it makes you stronger. If any relationship goes wrong and you are alone again, you won't feel like your life is over because you are already use to it. You become a true survivor... Even if you are depress, you won't obsess over it in the long run, unlike others who change their attitude forever or even kill themselves.

    For me, there are a lot of positives (or lack of negatives). a) Major Holidays. I get to spend Christmas/Thanksgiving/Easter with my friends and family as opposed to a bunch of near strangers (and, as a side benefit to that, I don't have to get on an airplane at Christmas time) b) Vacations, I get to choose where to go on my trip c) Solitude. I don't want to be alone all the time, that's boring and I end up feeling kind of lifeless. However, never getting even a moment alone makes me feel cranky. Right now, I don't get quite as much social interaction as I would like, but I'm much closer to the happy median than I was the last time I had a girlfriend. There are others, but those are the top three.

Wanting relationships with others is a natural part of life but physical conditioning and fitness is crucial for healthy living and relationships. Men are expected to lead in the relationship with her, take care of themselves physically/emotionally and psychologically as well as be self sufficient because Women like Men who are better than them in certain aspects but are Women deserving of Men? Roma Downey is another UA-cam channel with content like this. My ideal Lady would be considered a borderline imaginary chick nowadays with brains and beauty who is kind , accountable for their actions and words and doesn't hate people 😭💔. I really respect Mrs. Ryan for at least trying to help Men and Women out in promoting healthy relationships, positive mindsets and growth in individual 🙏 ❤️. I'm a guy working as a teacher and counselor seeing unhealthy relationships in people occasionally despite being single myself because I'm succeeding alone in DA ZONE 😂. I've been watching Courtney Ryan's videos since 2021 so her channel is really helpful especially on UA-cam and social media. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't.
      I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict.
      Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers.
      Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years
      ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word.
      Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus. I don't mean this is any condescending manner but if you'd like to discuss The Scriptures with me or have me listen to your view on anything my instagram account is Savage Christian Kombatant

If a woman doesn't provide bedroom activities a man is insensitive if he requests this. If a man doesn't provide (loses job, etc) he is berated and the woman leaves; i.e. woman don't have to hold up their end of the bargain but men do. One gender is accountable and the other is not.

    The vacations bit is definitely one that is a big part of why I'm opting to stay single. I've never been particularly interested in traveling. I've hated being away from home for very long periods of time, I hate dealing with the traveling part of traveling (airports, driving, etc) and there aren't many places in the world that are very interesting to me. I'm honestly happy just taking a week off work to catch up on personal life stuff like chores and hobbies, play some video games, etc. I just see travel vacations as such a huge waste of money when there are much better things I could be doing with it (like saving for old age). Most girls these days seem to be looking for men willing to finance expensive travel vacations a few times a year and that's honestly a no-go for me.
    Edit: As far as fostering personal relationships goes, I'm 36 and honestly just not interested anymore. I have a few very long time friends that I trust whole-heartedly. But I've also had several friends in the past, both male and female, that have just been horrible and wound up betraying me. People suck and I'd honestly rather be content with a little bit of loneliness that deal with another betrayal or heartbreak.

    Out of all the 27 years that I've been single, here's my two cents. I think that a big benefit to staying like this for this long would be that now, as you look to form whatever connection you can, you no longer have to worry as much with portraying something that you're not. You are who you are, flaws and everything, you no longer are interested in lying about yourself to any potential partners. Another benefit, probably even more important, would have to be that now, as you're completely used to being on your own, you are more likely to walk away from any potential inconveniences/red flags within getting to know others. And let me tell you, that's a liberating feeling right there knowing that I have the inner strength to have little to no tolerance for other people's bullshit. All in all, yes people will say being alone for so long isn't normal while others will say that it's potentially unhealthy, I feel like these things that I mentioned will provide a solid foundation on how to conduct yourself as you possibly navigate the dating market. And on the other hand, should you chose to remain single, I think such discoveries can also help you on that path as well. Tis a curse and a blessing for me.

    Hope you feel better soon.
    If the dishes don't get done or if someone forgets to run out the trash to the curb I know who to blame 😁.
    Thanks for sharing these points 👏👏👏

    Being single is fine, what is not is people telling others that they are lucky being single or better off single. Everybody deserves companionship.

    I am 63 and have been a widower for a year after 38 years of marriage. Everything you said in this video is true! Very good video! I have been enjoying my singleness, doing all the things in this video, while hoping for a future relationship.

    I've been single for a long minute and I don't know if I want someone.. I don't have to answer to anyone, and I won't have to worry if she's out here on social media finding a backup when she gets a little unhappy in the relationship

    I am working on giving all the friendly dogs in Churchill, a neck, and belly scratching. Yep. That's my goal. One benefit to being single, is I don't have to tell someone what time I will be done work at. Thanks for your videos. Sending a virtual hug.

    Thank you for the much needed video. I have 2 friends who are getting married this year and both are pregnant as well. While I’m happy for both of them but deep inside I feel jealous because of their milestones while my life has been stagnated for long time and wondering whether my milestones will come.

    You got a thumbs up after the first point. I'm a life long bachelor and happy to be one. I'm not remotely against a relationship, but I don't NEED a relationship because of the time I am able to spend on my own goals and interests. Yes, I am knowingly a bit selfish, but I'm happy. If you cannot be happy on your own, how are you going to be happy in a relationship? What you will actually be is codependent. This goes for both genders.

    I picked up a crazy flu from Tokyo a few weeks back. Got rid of the flu but not the cough. Just won't go away.

    'I think being alone and being lonely are very different things.' - you are right. I would describe it like 'being alone' is the situation (e.g. sitting alone at a lake with a fishing rod, working alone in the garden, being alone in a room writing on a book). And 'being lonely' is more like the feelings, thoughts, perception someone has (e.g. feeling not loved, misunderstood, having negative self talk, self image, seeing only the bad or sad when there is also good). People can be alone and lonely, alone and happy, together and lonely, together and happy.
    I think understanding this is an important life lesson. Thanks for speaking about the topic Courtney. ^^

    I’m single, I live alone and I love it. I was married for 21 years and divorced for the past 10 years. I was in a relationship for 3 years and all she wanted to do was lay in bed and watch tik tok for hours, that’s not for me. I work a lot of hours and every two years I take a couple of my kids on trips to Europe, it’s a ton of fun and I get to talk to them as adults. If someone comes into my life, great, if not then I’m fairly happy with it now.

    When any man is in a relationship with a woman, they must be ready to accept the possibility that their partner will cheat on them. As a man, never assume that your female partner won't find someone better than you in some regard. Never assume that there is no other man that can attract her to him. Assume that there is always a more attractive fish for her to catch. Its a good test of your and your partner's true character.

    Focusing on self worth, continued education, and doing things that make me happy alone or with my support group. Not having to cater to another persons needs and desires. The freedom, lastly happiness is comes from within.

    Advantage of being single is not being nagged at and someone who takes and doesn't give back

  • @jhamilton1007

    Being single is great and all, but at some point in most people's lives we would like to share the life we have built with someone. Even the Lord in Gen 2:18 says:
    "It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an helper comparable to him."
    We were not created to be alone. Sure, there are some people who are fine with that, but i think too many people push this "being alone" thing too far and it creates more miserable and bitter people in the end. Just some food for thought.
