Not enough men are finding happiness within themselves first before getting into a relationship. I think it unwise for a man to seek purpose in a relationship. His purpose should be its own thing
Facts reason I be wanting to be alone. I also feel like I get taken off my purpose dealing with women sometimes. They don’t understand it cuz they always need validation.
I’ve been divorced 5 years. I’m happy bro. Does it get lonely at times and you want some companionship? Yea…but the freedom that comes from being single is undefeated.
I agree. This July will be 30 years of being divorced. Yes, it can get lonely, but the freedom outweighs everything else. Yet, getting older and being alone is something I think about more often. 😮
@lenicejones1173 They think they can acquire this only with others that's simply not true. One must inquire about themselves in order to obtain from themselves it truly has nothing to do with someone else. Although we interact with people who feel they are worthy of treating someone else like they are not worthy, we should never lose sight about who we are and what we deserve. Personally, no one has to tell me I am not for them. I kindly say you know what you're right 💆 🚶➡️No need to fight about that 👋🕴
Selflove comes from knowing GOD, cause he is love. That's not coming from just within, but from a source that's divine within oneself,which is true connection to trinity.
@k111-s8i Yes, all in true, but one must acquire a certain love for themselves first to even want to know God, and even then, you'd realize that God is truly a mystery. Can one love themselves all the time in every waking moment of their lives 🤔 I am sure we can care about ourselves, but no one has a love for us like God does. I think I've always separated the two because of my experiences with people. I've never separated the two when dealing with God, and it gets challenging because I want to do what I want to do. I am a Brat 😒🙄😂 I am a spoiled and got dawn it, Brat, dont I know it shaking my head up and down I know I know 😂🤦
What kind of credit do you want him to have exactly? Do you think we should all bow our heads at 12 o clock and acknowledge this? Or maybe a whole day of glazing and meat riding? Y'all ninjas are weird ASF 😂

@@jamesharper3140 I’m 51 years old brother. Been there and done that. Love is subjective. It comes and goes just like some people. I value respect more than love. Good luck to you sir.
That's a hell of a answer. A man or woman can be happy most of the time with out one or the other but there's moments when you want somebody to lay next to at night or just connect with on a intimate level with. You can't have that intimate feeling by yourself.

@typaschal451 it's not genuine respect. Respect due to character and your light vs. respect due to people viewing you as an opportunity are two totally different things. It's the gift and the curse. The more wealthy you become, the less chance you find genuine spirits. But think of this, the poor man has no friends, no love, and no respect. Men have it hard in this life and that's why many of us have a vice. Life isn't easy for women, either. A beautiful woman vs. a less attractive woman both have the same issues as wealthy vs. poor man.

T.I. gave the obvious correct answer, but what is not mentioned is that being alone you don't have anyone to support and nurture you as you take on challenges and even when you overcome them there is no one there to celebrate the milestones with. It doesn't have to go bad necessarily for you to be unhappy alone and in fact it can be going great and there is still someone missing.

One of my closest friends when he was going through his health issues having heart surgeries ect in and out the hospital during his final days his woman left him high and dry I could tell that shit broke his heart and he eventually gave up
I can admit, there are some shady women in this world. But most women don't just get up and leave their man when he's dying. If she does, it shows how that man treated that woman while he was on his feet. No disrespect, but your friend had an evil woman, or he just wasn't the best partner.
@@Itzmizzypooh if the man was treating her so badly, why would she wait until he is dying to leave him? Obviously it's because he can no longer provide what she wants.
Just because a woman is around when you catch cancer. Doesn’t mean she cares that you have cancer. She still could be about herself. You think having a warm body around, will make people care about you
Most of us grew up on poor messages. Looks and body only go so far and that is typically the distractor for young men. Willing to deal with somebody for the wrong reasons. Then be upset that they were always that person. Red flags are real a lot of men are willing to pass them for the cookies (poor messaging).
When it come down to it relationships require too much trust that I ain’t got . Good luck nd shouts out to whoever putting they selves out there to find true love . Yall some brave mfs 💯‼️
That’s the problem man… society and our life circumstances as kids made us evolve to put our trust in imperfect beings… that’s where we gon ALWAYS f*ck up at G.. put our trust in God and God only… so when we decide to allow people in our space or interact with people in the world wether it’s other men or women, it’s up to us to listen to what God/our intuition is telling us 24/7… not what other men say or do, no what women say or do.. because anybody could be manipulated by what they hear, see, smell, taste and feel.. what we “think” is good may not always be good if God didn’t lead us into that situation or decision. We just gotta learn to quiet the noise around us and listen to our inside voice. Once you get to that space in life man you gon attract people that’s vibrating at the same level as you.. and no matter what always remember to treat other people how you want God to treat you…. Even if they don’t deserve it.. because God give us sh*t everyday even when we don’t deserve it. I
@@Baddgallindsaythat's not how that works, sweetheart. please respect yourself and find someone who actually wants to be with you instead of chasing challenges.
I agree with most of that with what TI said, but not all of it. My mother taught me that a woman should have it when her man ain't got it, and she was born in 1950.
Exactly. That's where he lost me. It should be equal. We share everything. The wife shouldn't get a free ride under any circumstance. You gotta earn your keep around here! Box don't equate to dollars. We should pour into each other in all aspects.
70/30 or 60/40 ... Times has changed. Also a good woman shouldn't want her man to pay for everything. It is similar to a best friend/teammate, she should want to take some of the weight off of you & simply help out
Times have changed but the bare minimum has not. I'm not splitting bills with a man. A man should be able to cover the house financially. My gawd. My hubs pays all the bills. The year doesn't matter.
These comments are proof of what the Bible says: “in the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves”, the Bible also says “it is not good for man to be alone” so shout out to TI for standing on experience of this thing called life, very few will get it until they in that same tough position. ♥️
I personally think men appear to be more happy without a woman. For the most part men don't actually like women outside of sex & her being able to take care of him when he's sick.
At the end of the day not everyone needs or wants the same things ...that's the gag. Needing someone is a super low vibration....most ppl vibrate pretty low tho so y'all in plenty company... doesn't have anything to do with "ego" 😂😂😂😂
@@datrill1000 very true! But usually when a successful multimillionaire businessman with a just as successful rich wife and successful children speak, a smart person who is trying to be successful as well will listen. The phrase "It ain't tricking if you got it" goes over a lot of people's head. What it means is simply stay within your budget.
Not allowed to. Only get paid to talk about unaliving one another or anything that tears us down more. Outsiders of that, YOU WONT MAKE MONEY in that industry
Exactly they want you to portray negativity...that's why all rappers kids go to private school while your children listen to rap music and getting in trouble...
The average black man makes about 46k/year. Tip is in the top 1% of earners. A rich man should pay all the bills… in this economy it’s almost impossible for the common man to pay for everything…
People still living in the 50s. Women are not even doing the things they did back then so why should men continue to do what they did back then. If a guy is paying all the bills but his girl is not doing anything on her part than what’s the point.
The average black needs to do better if he’s only making 46k a year. That’s not enough in this economy to take care of himself let alone take care of a family.
There are two types of men in this world. Those who can live without a woman, and those who can't. A lot of men need to have a woman, but it doesn't always equal happiness. They just need to have a woman around to fill some void in their lives. Maybe mother issues, who knows. Then you have those who were raised by a strong woman that lead by example teaching their sons the value of self reliance.
I agree with T.I, however if you have never experienced betrayal,disappointment,or death from a significant other then you will never truly know what it means to be happy alone and will always be codependent in a sense, which is not true happiness. A person can truly be happy alone just depends on how much a person really love their self
Been single 5 years now, and no kids with anyone nor any unnecessary strings attached type bs. I rarely feel lonely. You can focus on growth spiritually even more. Also, you don't have to worry bout always racing to keep up with someone's crappy ahh standards.
self love is real love, take care of yourself and even better when you got your own money you can afford to pay nurses and caretakers to provide you healthcare in old age. Family can let you down sometimes especially when you are aging...
Self love is SELFISHNESS The greatest love and fulfillment of the law, is to love one another ‼️ Yet in the last days, ppl will be lovers of SELF LAWLESS
32 no kids no partner been living in my car for 2 years+ being homeless sleeping in motels twice a month I learned to appreciate a hot shower and a bed + living in sober living houses while completing probation I learned to appreciate a fat blunt of OG I was born with a lot I loss almost everything except for my pride I learn to appreciate hot cooked meals ect.... Life is precious and sweet & love could be a help or hurt in my opinion especially when it comes to keeping or finding happiness Yessir 🙏🏼
People gotta understand this is two rich men having this conversation. This logic doesn’t apply to everybody. Sometimes y’all have to just make shit work however y’all need to and there’s nothing wrong with that. Even when it comes to them they’ve had times where they had to lean on a woman.
This is not just a conversation for rich/wealthy men, though. Black men need to work towards elevating themselves (as a collective) and stop chasing cheap thrills. If the times change, you have to adapt and change with them. There are black men in their 30’s and 40’s still making excuses for why their financial situation isn’t evolving with the times. But they have time to be on social media for hours a day, playing video games, chasing multiple women, going out and spending money they don’t have, etc.
no woman ever has ever been happy being alone unless they have already spent life with a loving partner and their spouse died in old age tall women biologically yearn for a companion
@@kole9158Whenever you say "All women/ All men" any point you make becomes false by default. You can't decide what the barometer of happiness is for each individual based on your own myths or ideals. There are millions of people happy without a romantic partner because they still have loving families around & they're living to their full potential. This narrative that you can't be happy without a man/woman is pathetic.
@likeasoldier777 you know what i read as you saying all women can be alone but you said without men - in that case I can appreciate that but generally no i teraction or companionship lol thats mental health
I’ve said this in diff conversations about men. I truly don’t believe that men could or would choose to be alone, or do everything on their own. Men can’t survive without a partner, without someone to lay with, or sleep with. On some level a man will always need a woman there. My argument has always been that there are so many women in the world who live their life without any man on any level. Not as a companion, not as a handyman, not for sex, and not even for fatherhood. Some women just don’t get lucky enough to be in a relationship or have a partner, but they survive. I do not think men can do that. If they don’t have a woman as a companion, they’ll have a mother, they’ll have a grandmother, they’ll have sisters, or “friends.” They’ll have some woman in their life assisting them on some level.
I would do agree. I’ve seen videos of women that work in nursing homes and say how there are so many single lonely men in nursing homes. No one come to check on them Or spend holidays with them
@@cjohnson_ you are wrong and silly. I used to work there before getting into the hospital and it's the same too. Women are single/widowers but family/kids always come see them or take them out.
After watching this short interview, now I see why my wife left me after 21 yrs in. Cherish them cuz when they gone, shit don’t b the same. But that’s why you gotta find a solid one who gonna stick it out through the good times and bad. Not everyone built for marriage tho. 🤷🏾♂️
I was okay without a women for the longest, and then my mom died and I never realized how much I need a women in my life. So, you can be happy, but you will feel alone.
As a man thats been married for 20 years, i think you can be happy alone. You just need a purpose. Once you take that last breathe nothing matters anymore
Keeping all my funds, no BS, no one ruining my peace, no cheating, no fighting, and no one plotting against me. I got God, I got friends, I got family, money and a dog. Being Single is awesome 🤷🏿♂️
Men can be happy without women for sure I’ve been divorced since 2016 met few women and are currently single and happy alone No more drama ,no more arguing ,I’m happy
Im 50/50 or i pay 60/40. You basically tricking pay all the bills as a man. What was she doing before yall got together probably paying her bills just cause a woman has a man now he isnt suppose to pay everything thats letting her control you just cause she a woman. That shit wack
I have a lot of peace when I’m just locked in focused on myself. I’ve always felt smothered when I meet a nice girl sometimes who likes me. They always overdue it. I be trying to focus on my purpose. Except this one chick she was super feminine I had to pursue her. The way it was supposed to be. But I just wasn’t ready for her yet but she had a lot of wifey traits just was going through a lot of real life shit I wasn’t ready to take on at a young age. Guess you really have to be willing to sacrifice something to get something in a relationship all in all. I say take your time and no for sure she’s the one before tying the knot 💯
Half her money is his too in marriage. Vise versa. I’m not into masculine ego to try to do 100% in a marketplace where woman are making money too! Men deserve a piece of her labor too!

Lazy vetting. How have u allowed a woman that selfish to be around u long term? Makes no sense. Clearly you’ve never had a lady long term.
Yeah, shids overrated because it’s far and between that couples in general actually have a life long connection.
Most of us grew up on poor messages. Looks and body only go so far and that is typically the distractor for young men. Willing to deal with somebody for the wrong reasons. Then be upset that they were always that person. Red flags are real a lot of men are willing to pass them for the cookies (poor messaging).
When it come down to it relationships require too much trust that I ain’t got . Good luck nd shouts out to whoever putting they selves out there to find true love . Yall some brave mfs 💯‼️
Lmfao I'm saying bro. This relationship shi is not for the weak
That’s the problem man… society and our life circumstances as kids made us evolve to put our trust in imperfect beings… that’s where we gon ALWAYS f*ck up at G.. put our trust in God and God only… so when we decide to allow people in our space or interact with people in the world wether it’s other men or women, it’s up to us to listen to what God/our intuition is telling us 24/7… not what other men say or do, no what women say or do.. because anybody could be manipulated by what they hear, see, smell, taste and feel.. what we “think” is good may not always be good if God didn’t lead us into that situation or decision. We just gotta learn to quiet the noise around us and listen to our inside voice.
Once you get to that space in life man you gon attract people that’s vibrating at the same level as you.. and no matter what always remember to treat other people how you want God to treat you…. Even if they don’t deserve it.. because God give us sh*t everyday even when we don’t deserve it.

@@Baddgallindsaythat's not how that works, sweetheart. please respect yourself and find someone who actually wants to be with you instead of chasing challenges.
I agree with most of that with what TI said, but not all of it. My mother taught me that a woman should have it when her man ain't got it, and she was born in 1950.
Exactly. That's where he lost me. It should be equal. We share everything. The wife shouldn't get a free ride under any circumstance. You gotta earn your keep around here! Box don't equate to dollars. We should pour into each other in all aspects.

70/30 or 60/40 ... Times has changed. Also a good woman shouldn't want her man to pay for everything. It is similar to a best friend/teammate, she should want to take some of the weight off of you & simply help out
Exactly someone got some sense
💯
I understand this but most masculine men find it very off putting for a woman to pay bills. It can off set the dynamic.
Times have changed but also, not enough black men have not evolved enough with it!
Times have changed but the bare minimum has not. I'm not splitting bills with a man. A man should be able to cover the house financially. My gawd. My hubs pays all the bills. The year doesn't matter.
A real man’s response ! Thanks T.I
TI said something that caught my attention you should come home and worry about no bills are be problem
I absolutely agree with TIP💯💪🏾✨
Loved this ❤
These comments are proof of what the Bible says: “in the last days men and women will be lovers of themselves”, the Bible also says “it is not good for man to be alone” so shout out to TI for standing on experience of this thing called life, very few will get it until they in that same tough position. ♥️
I personally think men appear to be more happy without a woman. For the most part men don't actually like women outside of sex & her being able to take care of him when he's sick.

The average black man makes about 46k/year. Tip is in the top 1% of earners. A rich man should pay all the bills… in this economy it’s almost impossible for the common man to pay for everything…
People still living in the 50s. Women are not even doing the things they did back then so why should men continue to do what they did back then. If a guy is paying all the bills but his girl is not doing anything on her part than what’s the point.
Well noted.
I guess I’m not average then Yikes!!
The average black needs to do better if he’s only making 46k a year. That’s not enough in this economy to take care of himself let alone take care of a family.
@kinder7513 easier said than done. Two incomes is always better than one. This is why women should embrace the man that making $46k.
Og snapped with this one. 🔥
There are two types of men in this world. Those who can live without a woman, and those who can't. A lot of men need to have a woman, but it doesn't always equal happiness. They just need to have a woman around to fill some void in their lives. Maybe mother issues, who knows. Then you have those who were raised by a strong woman that lead by example teaching their sons the value of self reliance.
Lil brother big brother vibes...I love it!

21 keeps it real.
I agree with T.I, however if you have never experienced betrayal,disappointment,or death from a significant other then you will never truly know what it means to be happy alone and will always be codependent in a sense, which is not true happiness. A person can truly be happy alone just depends on how much a person really love their self
Been single 5 years now, and no kids with anyone nor any unnecessary strings attached type bs. I rarely feel lonely. You can focus on growth spiritually even more. Also, you don't have to worry bout always racing to keep up with someone's crappy ahh standards.
self love is real love, take care of yourself and even better when you got your own money you can afford to pay nurses and caretakers to provide you healthcare in old age. Family can let you down sometimes especially when you are aging...
Self love is SELFISHNESS
The greatest love and fulfillment of the law, is to love one another ‼️
Yet in the last days, ppl will be lovers of SELF

Life is precious and sweet & love could be a help or hurt in my opinion especially when it comes to keeping or finding happiness Yessir 🙏🏼
Beautifully said. ❤
People gotta understand this is two rich men having this conversation. This logic doesn’t apply to everybody. Sometimes y’all have to just make shit work however y’all need to and there’s nothing wrong with that. Even when it comes to them they’ve had times where they had to lean on a woman.
This is not just a conversation for rich/wealthy men, though. Black men need to work towards elevating themselves (as a collective) and stop chasing cheap thrills. If the times change, you have to adapt and change with them. There are black men in their 30’s and 40’s still making excuses for why their financial situation isn’t evolving with the times. But they have time to be on social media for hours a day, playing video games, chasing multiple women, going out and spending money they don’t have, etc.
women sure can be happy without men. It is possible for all of us to be happy and kind to each other!
no woman ever has ever been happy being alone unless they have already spent life with a loving partner and their spouse died in old age tall women biologically yearn for a companion
@ I disagree but we all have our own preferences. ❤️
@@kole9158Whenever you say "All women/ All men" any point you make becomes false by default. You can't decide what the barometer of happiness is for each individual based on your own myths or ideals. There are millions of people happy without a romantic partner because they still have loving families around & they're living to their full potential. This narrative that you can't be happy without a man/woman is pathetic.
@likeasoldier777 you know what i read as you saying all women can be alone but you said without men - in that case I can appreciate that but generally no i teraction or companionship lol thats mental health
This is inaccurate is rlly the same for them as it is for us we all human & all gone need/want somebody in the end
When he asked the question can a man be happy without a woman in his life something else came to my mind..
I’ve said this in diff conversations about men. I truly don’t believe that men could or would choose to be alone, or do everything on their own. Men can’t survive without a partner, without someone to lay with, or sleep with. On some level a man will always need a woman there. My argument has always been that there are so many women in the world who live their life without any man on any level. Not as a companion, not as a handyman, not for sex, and not even for fatherhood. Some women just don’t get lucky enough to be in a relationship or have a partner, but they survive. I do not think men can do that. If they don’t have a woman as a companion, they’ll have a mother, they’ll have a grandmother, they’ll have sisters, or “friends.” They’ll have some woman in their life assisting them on some level.
Say word.. he spoke volumes.. love this....
I would do agree. I’ve seen videos of women that work in nursing homes and say how there are so many single lonely men in nursing homes. No one come to check on them
Or spend holidays with them
That's so true
😂😂😂😂😂 and the single women there????
@cjohnson_ No because they family takes care of them.
@@cjohnson_ you are wrong and silly. I used to work there before getting into the hospital and it's the same too. Women are single/widowers but family/kids always come see them or take them out.

After watching this short interview, now I see why my wife left me after 21 yrs in. Cherish them cuz when they gone, shit don’t b the same. But that’s why you gotta find a solid one who gonna stick it out through the good times and bad. Not everyone built for marriage tho. 🤷🏾♂️

Im 50/50 or i pay 60/40. You basically tricking pay all the bills as a man. What was she doing before yall got together probably paying her bills just cause a woman has a man now he isnt suppose to pay everything thats letting her control you just cause she a woman. That shit wack
Exactly bruh

I have a lot of peace when I’m just locked in focused on myself. I’ve always felt smothered when I meet a nice girl sometimes who likes me. They always overdue it. I be trying to focus on my purpose. Except this one chick she was super feminine I had to pursue her. The way it was supposed to be. But I just wasn’t ready for her yet but she had a lot of wifey traits just was going through a lot of real life shit I wasn’t ready to take on at a young age. Guess you really have to be willing to sacrifice something to get something in a relationship all in all. I say take your time and no for sure she’s the one before tying the knot 💯
Half her money is his too in marriage. Vise versa. I’m not into masculine ego to try to do 100% in a marketplace where woman are making money too! Men deserve a piece of her labor too!
Especially when your bank account ain’t T.i’s
