I am a woman and watched this out of curiosity, and I agree 100%!!!
Thank you for the comment! I hope you enjoyed the video :) God bless you!
@@CameronRiecker God bless you also !
Be what you want to attract!
Well said :)
Easy for people like you to say who live in a fantasy bubble
@@AlexanderTheFarmer From what he said what makes you think it's a "fantasy bubble" they sound pretty basic to me
@@jpg6113 You can spend your entire life stacking your cards in one deck and from the way the game works, you are supposed to win but you don't because outside things that you have no control over will not let you.
Now you just wasted your time and resources achieveing that which you were supposed to be guaranteed to have. No one will help you, no one will give you the time and resources back. You just ruined your life.
It is more complex than that, because in most western countries godly women are decreasing at a historical rate, and within the circle of daily life, there might be none. In where I live, I barely see any woman of my age group in the church, anything else is pure abomination and there is plenty. My friend told me, don't lose hope, there is one single group of young catholic meeting every week, 40 people in total in a city with population of 400000.
There are 3 pillars of a well-ordered life. In order of priority they are 1) spiritual life, 2) personal life and 3) professional life. All three need to be correctly prioritized, under control and in harmony with one another. If these become out of priority, or neglected, your life becomes out of balance and problems will ensue. Get these 3 pillars squared away and in harmony, then go date.
Good advice! :)
The answer is very symple: God wants me to be single right now. The fact I have all the things you said is another proof of that.
That is a very real possibility! Maybe you've got it figured out, but your future wife still needs some polishing up lol
@@CameronRiecker Perhaps 🤣🤣. Well I'm still relatively young since I'm 22 years old.
Thank you brother this is exactly what I needed to hear. Gonna work some more on some of the things you said. Praise be to God
Thanks for the support! God bless you brother!
Great tips to build on! If I can add some more. Look for a woman who wants the same things you do, look more to fall in love with her person and not so much her looks. Pay attention to see if she’s open to getting to know you. If a woman shows absolutely no interest move on.
Also very good advice :)
As a Catholic girl, I approve this message.
Thank you for the approval! God bless you :)
Wow. I’m a 60 year old woman who has been married 38 years, and I agree and love this message! ❤
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Any words of wisdom about marriage :) I've been married 3 years
I approve of these tips as well as a young woman! Would also love to hear your tips for single women
Thanks for the comment :) I'll have my wife on the channel with me soon! She has some amazing advice for young women!
Great practical tips for young men before taking a wife. 👍 Thank you Sir.
Thank you for the comment! God bless you :)
Great video, friend. Thank you. God Bless!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! God bless you!
This is truth. For so long the church has tried to tell people (mostly men) that looks aren't important but the last several thousand years tell a different story.
Thank you for this video my brother in Christ 🙏🕊️
The reason I’m single is because I’m a convert from a broken non-Christian home and I’ve been forced to pull myself up by the boot straps and an individualistic every man for himself society working my ass off live paycheck to paycheck. How could I possibly consider going on a date marrying and starting a family when I can barely afford myself and the only individual in this entire universe, I can lean on for support at all times, and don’t say I can trust God or lean on him. I’ve been turning to him and pleading him for financial stability every day for 15 years to no avail.
If Catholics want more men to marry and start families, then they need to start either helping young Catholic men find good paying jobs with benefits or start creating such jobs. “Pull yourself up by the boot straps.” Won’t cut it and will only lead to despair, more poverty, fewer marriages and a mass exodus of young men from the Church who otherwise would be holy men and start holy families
God bless you! Keep hope :) I will pray for you!
I totally understand how hard it might be, never lose hope and I will pray for you brother.
Great video man! I loved and totally agree with point #3
This is by far the best video for dating I have seen in years instead of these conmen “buy my course now and I promise you X, Y, and Z.”
Any tips for struggling with lack of vision particularly hopelessness and depression as a single man? It’s something that I am part of the mass group of men just lost in life and would appreciate a video about how to find purpose and meaning in life. It’s what killing me in all 3 areas you mentioned despite praying the Rosary every night and receiving the Sacraments and reading the Scriptures. I accepted living in material lack since there’s alway chaos and lack of financial and career instability in my life yet I have no doubt God wants to make my soul Holy and pure.
Thanks for the support!
I would say this:
God uses difficulties like that to purify us at times. Embrace the Cross! (I'll make a video on this soon)
What I would say if you are struggling with depression is you need something to be excited about. You need something to break the routine. Sometimes our problems are less "spiritual" than they seem.
Go on retreat, or vacation, or even just try eating at a different restaurant. This always helps me to break out of a funk!
God bless you! :) I will pray for your friends.
@@CameronRiecker Yeah bro, definetly people have money for that stuff, you live in a fantasy bubble
I agree a 100% with all your points which is very helpful for all the Catholic single men out there, thank you so much🙏🏽🙌🏽
However, just want to say the reason am still a single Catholic is not because of anything you mentioned but that marriage is not destined for everyone like me even if I wanted to, I have to remain celibate and am not talking about the vocation of priesthood 😊
Whenever I look at a married couple or/and with kids, it makes me happy but also used to make me sad at the same time as it is something that I could not have. I am 45 years of age and have never ever dated anyone in my life 😊
I believe this is my cross I have to carry in this world for Jesus and also remind myself everytime that I am married to Him forever🙏🏽
Thank you for sharing this video! All glory to Jesus, God Bless 🙏🏽
Well said! God bless you :)
If you are not called to marriage you are called to something higher, but not all can answer that call!
All glory to Jesus!
Dear Cameron, thank you for your videos. Direct and informative, leading to good christian life. My name is Diego, I’m from Mexico, and I’m starting a spanish language catholic channel soon. I would like to ask you, may I use your videos as a source of info & knowledge for mine? I would appreciate it very much. Thank you again and God Bless.
Feel free :)
As long as people are being helped by this info I don't care if it comes from me or someone else!
@@CameronRiecker Thanks!, God bless you.
there are def diseases that people struggle with, trying to improve but cant. you couldve talked about that in a more sensitive way in my opinion, people are more than their physical capabilities, especially in a love relationship. i feel you didnt mean it the way you said it, but for anyone reading this- your disease doesnt make you less attractive or unlovable so dont feel hopeless ❤
also i like the structure of the video, keep on filming 🥰
Amen
Thank you for the comment :) The video was not meant to be insensitive! It was aimed at men who are healthy and simply need to up their game a little bit. If someone has a legitimate medical concern this video probably does not apply to them :)
Anyway I think another advice is patience.
Especially nowadays a lot of men need to accept the fact that we are all going to probably marry a lot later.
I think i wont get married till my early 30s tbqh depending on my life trajectory.
But for the majority of the time working on your self and being prepared for your vocation regardless of what it is you should be open to a date or a relationship.
Granted I asked someone out and got rejected still havent gotten one date though I had opportunities here and there but that was before I discerened what my vocation was.
I think another one is to befriend the women now you may not marry or even date them right away asap or may not be interested or vice versa but that could change in time after all you want a good friend during marriage when everything else fades.
But those are my 2 cents on the matter.
I am still 23 but it is some good advice I learned in life.
Good points :) Well said!
In these times it's even harder to find a good Catholic person to be your spouse.... we have it bad.... but we can either give up or keep going... even if it sucks that standards are higher for looks, money, etc. and Catholic young adults population are shrinking.
I say what would help or improve the direction of a man is to lead a ministry I think this would help them in marriage.
That is probably true! However, I don't think all men have the tools to be able to do ministry work well.
It's awesome, thank you! I am a woman and I think women need to know vocation, their task. I know but I want to develop, be more holy. Maybe some tips for women? :)
I'm planning on having my wife on my channel with me soon! :) She's got amazing insights for women!
Nice advice. Now I want you to grill the ladies
Maybe I'll have my wife on the channel to do that haha! She's better equipped for that than I am!
Bro you’re on POINT 👏🏾before my discernment to Priesthood, HUMBLY I’ve had many options to date as many women I wanted all because I was called being handsome and fit for most of my twenties lol. I started lifting weights young in my teenage years as an athlete so that helped lol but more so I was taught proper hygiene and physical appearance from my parents more of a cultural thing as a Haitian American which we take great pride in. Point being it’s all about self confidence, self-respect, high self-esteem, great hygiene, and good physical appearance to get a woman’s attention. Furthermore, if you’re a man of FAITH on top of all that, 😁GOLDEN because most, if not all, devout Catholic women will be interested in wanting you as a Husband and Father to their children that can protect, guide, and lead with complete trust because of the appeal. I’m not saying ALL Catholic men needs to buff up or be fit like Hulk Hogan or something lol because it’s not every man’s thing, HOWEVER; like this video describes APPEARANCE and HYGIENE says a LOT about a man to a woman. Dr. Taylor Marshall touches a bit on this topic as well if any person questions this video. Great video a lot of CATHOLIC men need to hear this from the looks of it. You can be as religious as you want, but if you’re looking to find a Catholic wife, you have to be intriguing enough for them to want you because how a man conducts himself says a lot about his character. Despite people knowing I’m discerning Priesthood, many of my friends especially secular female friends try to talk me out of it because they tell me I have amazing attributes to being an amazing Husband or Father one day. Obviously, I do everything for the glory of God and I want to fulfill His will and not my own to please the world but I’m just trying to make a point. I completely agree with this video because appearance, vision, and self peace are key factors finding the Catholic wife you want or need that God has destined for you. Amen 🙏🏾
Well Said
Thanks for the comment! very well said! God bless you :)
Cameron, in the rosary group, do you pray together online? In that case, at what time? To enroll only if I'm gonna be available. Thank you and great video btw!
Thanks for the comment :) We do not pray together often because there are men in the group from all over the world!
It is more for accountability and community!
Consider this a personal invitation to join :)
@@CameronRiecker Alright, I'm gonna give it a try then. Cheers!
I can’t do this so I will pray for the gift of singleness to Jesus 😂
This is pretty good. Your singles advice is way better than your catholic vs protestant stuff
Thanks for the feedback :)
Female version coming?
I’ll ask my wife to speak on that maybe!!
can you make one for women pls!
Maybe! :) God bless you!
2:57 Honestly, please pray for me... as a lady (not a man xD) I think I need to get my health and eating addiction and overweight issue get taken care of before I can be a wife and a mom. I tried to look for dates and I dressed up and wore make up and it still didn't work for years... just cause I saw less attractive girls getting good Catholic men doesn't mean that'll happen for me. So I better work on myself. But please pray for me.
Praying for you!
yea yea true but...practice the virtues and becoming more virtuous and you'll attract a virtuous woman. prudence, justice, fortitude, temperance
True! I think all of the points I made can easily be connected to a virtue.
Some virtues more directly impact relationships than others!
Marriage and women are too risky these days. What is really in it for a man with 75% of wives intiating divorces? Been there and done that after 17 year marriage and it is not worth the stress and losing your children and assets you worked your whole life for. Take my advice young men it is best to remain single and build a career and enjoy your lives.
You almost have it together, just need to let go and let god
Trust in God always! Thanks for the comment!
I agree with you I wish I was talking to you in person. Okay brother I noticed some women where I’m from will date a skunk stinking up the church building I mean she’s a good looking lady but dang. If I was a cashier at Walmart I’d scan everything tell that dude get out of here stink so bad. Even homeless people have better hygiene. Here I am smelling fresh two gold necklaces nice clothes staying fit stay in shape I have a hard time finding a wife. I’ll be honest with you if I had better eyesight things might be different being born visually impaired you see life differently the heart of a person. When you said great hygiene, I had to smile and think about the guys I see on a daily basis smell like skunks still have women hanging on his arm he can’t even buy his double cheeseburger on his first date lol
lol if you wanna chat in person I interact a lot more on my discord server.
I’ll see you there!

Welp. Im not a man, but looks like I'll be single for the rest of my life. My parents never took me to the dentist, not once. Ive just stated getting my wisdom pull these past five years. Although my teeth has yet to rot from my skull. They are cricked and ive always been insecure. I also dont have the best posture. I was born with my hips tilted forward and my lower ribs are nubs. They havent fully developed leaving me with a slight hunch. I should prolly not continue watching the rest. I bet I check off majority of these markers.
Thanks for the comment! I just want to say I’m sincerely sorry if my video made you feel vulnerable it was not my intention!
my video was not aimed at healthy young men who need to step their game up.
It was meant to be a wake up call for men who may have become complacent and need some encouragement.
It was not intended to put anyone down or make them feel bad.
God bless you!
@@CameronRiecker never, luv. Not your problems, lol. its me against society.
Cameron does not have it all figured out. He thinks like a young man that read too many theological books and never lived enough to learn about the real complexities of God. Bet he has no idea how funny and scary God can be. God has a plan. Don't worry.
This is good advice but I do think this kind of advice is something a lot of men already know. What the real challenge these days is people giving real criticism to women. Most women these days are basically told they are perfect as they are and so the women have a false sense of entitlement. Women also need to be told to get into shape and wear feminine clothes like dresses. Women need to be told not to get into debt. What happens is when only men are told to "maxx" in looks, finances, etc, is the White Pill whereby they level up only to find out there aren't any worthy women available, so they maxxed for nothing. I am not being mean but I can definitely say that if I maxxed then most decent Catholic women would not qualify for me since an imbalance in a relationship is what breeds resentment. A man who is an overall 8+ will see the average woman as an overall 3+ and she will resent him if he's bringing to the table his looks, finances, etc, while she brings average looks, debt, baggage, etc. So really both genders need a good harsh but gentle talking to.
One reason why God doesn't allow men or women to maxx too much is because they would be less open to more normal/average people whom might fit them quite well. This isn't to say mediocrity is the goal. Plus, even without seeing or knowing a man, online dating like Catholic Match shows most men don't get any views or responses from most women, and even in real life most average Catholic women will not give men a chance and won't put much effort to signal interest in a guy.
True! Maybe my wife can say some things to women lol I don't think that's my place!
But your "standards" sound like the mirror image of women thinking they are entitled to a millionaire with six-pack abs. If you look down your nose at "decent Catholic women, " then who are you going to marry?
if you see my face, you'll know that god already picked celibacy for me 😂😂😂 fake laugh to hide real pain
Cameron does not have it all figured out my friend.
True :) I'm learning every day!
