Whether you’re happily single, curious about this lifestyle, or simply looking for inspiration, this is the space for you! Let’s rewrite the narrative around being single and embrace it unapologetically. 💬 Let me know in the comments: What do you love most about your single life?
@@TheSoLoist-Lo freedom of my time, no one being impatient with me, no one telling me where I can and can’t go, or what I can and can’t do, or how I can spend my money. 😊
I love not having to take on the labor of some man who probably would not have my back if something happened to me. As an RN, I’ve seen many a husband be useless, yes useless, when the wife was sick. I’m not sharing my home, my energy, my finances, or preferences in my home for some man. Nope!
You hit it on the head when you said the independence is the big draw. I don't have to cook what I don't want to eat, wash what I didn't wear or pick up what I didn't put down. Further, I can go where and when I want. Thanks for this conversation.
Great video. Being single is very underrated, while being in a relationship is grossly overrated. Never had so much PEACE since choosing to be single!!!
No one wants to be the nurse with a purse for an aging man. As an RN, it’s a hard pass from me! I am far more ambitious and go-getting still at 55 and in school for PMHNP. I’m not going to spend time worrying about what a man needs when they probably wouldn’t do the same. I have been divorced for over 20 years and no regrets!
I'm 52 y.o. single at heart woman, no kids. If men around my age acted mature and were respectful of my autonomy, I may consider putting myself out there. But, sadly, the vast majority act as if they are still teenagers. And, so, I have no interest in dating someone that acts more like a son than a partner. I'm physically attracted to men, but mentally, emotionally, spiritually, psychologically, they do absolutely nothing. Those men who put down women who don't want to date or have kids really should be blaming themselves. Today's women is different from their moms and grandmoms who had no choice but to get married and have kids. Women today have their own money and could care less what society or their own family says. Single and happy over being married and a miserable maid.
High five to bring Happily Single. And yes I agree, today’s Women are nothing like our Grandmothers and Mothers, but they “Men” are trying really hard to take us back to that.
Thank you so much for this. You are simply laying it out....why being single is so life-enhancing for women. Most women over 50 have 'been through it' with more than one male. I don't have regrets about my past (because what's the point of that), but I am very happy to be free of the constraints of a relationship with an XY, as Imani Forester puts it!
Hey friend I’m still in my 40’s and this still resonates with me. I’m widowed and I have chosen to remain single for reasons that you’ve shared like not having to compromise, peace over partnership, focusing on myself and my spirituality and not compromising. I haven’t cut myself off to a new love, I’m open to the idea of it but it will not be one that I have to settle for, or one that will mess with my peace and we would have to be equally yoked. Thanks so much for sharing. ❤
Finally, the yoke is being broken from off the neck. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 "and by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother: and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion, that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck." -Genesis 27:40 KJVAAE
Thank you for the inspiring video!! "He who travels fastest, travels alone" Rudyard Kipling I am 58 years old and have been taking care of people since I was seven years old and my mom left my dad and I had to babysit my younger siblings. I was a "trad wife" living in a cult-like environment for 14 years, until my ex-husband cheated on me and left me with 100% responsibility of taking care of my three young boys far away from my family. I was even kicked out of the church we attended because I was a single mom..... I am tired of taking care of other people, I actually retired from teaching because I was so burnt out... Now I am a waitress at a luxury hotel and people pay me to take care of them (more than I made as a teacher!!).... I am divorced, raised three sons, and have recently decided to stop dating.... Why?? Old men are not attractive to me, they let themselves go, get fat, and want to be taken care of.... Old men want homecooked meals, to sleep in your bed and snore all night long, go on their family vacations, and watch their grandkids.... The worse yet, is the old men who chased after young women for the last ten years, are broke, and want your money!! I am growing my TH-cam channel, launching a health coaching/personal training business in May of 2025, and finding my Tribe of People..... I love my single, independent Life!!
@@KaceyAnnReynolds first off let me just say how proud I am of you. Raising 3 boys in your own in the face of adversity is huge! I’ve been taking care I’d others and now God is blessing you by taking care of you. Now as far as the “Old Men” Girl…I lol the entire time reading your message. We share the EXACT same thoughts about that. If I were to ever date again it would be much younger. Because you’re right, old men (not all but the vast majority) don’t take care of their bodies and yes get in your bed and snore all damn night! They are boring to me. Younger men (from my experiences) are more fun and energetic. More out going. They take better care of their bodies and are health conscious. And just all around better Imo. Some may say they don’t make enough money but I have my own money and I can take care of myself. As long as they can and are taking care of themselves financially I feel like dating a younger man is a win. Maybe I’ll do a video about that 🤔 Anyway, I’m on a mission to get into the best shape of my life. I have the time and energy and I’m in good health. While I’ve worked out my entire adult life, when I retired 4 years ago I started slacking off. So I’m excited about subscribing to your channel to get some tips.
@@TheSoLoist-Lo Please do make a video about dating younger men!! My theory is that men age better than women in their early 50's, then the aging process hits them like a ton of bricks by 60.....But, they look in the mirror and don't notice the big, fat belly, balding head, yellow teeth, and hair growing out of every part of their face!! Their snoring could wake up the dead, no thank you!!

Not having to do chores like washing dishes, laundering clothes, etc., beyond what I use myself.

Beautifully written. You put my exact thoughts into words.
I agree! In full support of women living the life THEY WANT. ❤️❤️👍🏿👍🏿✅
🎉🎉🎉 it’s a celebration
very interesting and good to celebrate a woman's decision to remain single instead of judging them
Agreed. We have to continue to uplift one another.

You’re welcome! No regrets here either, just lesson learned. #happilysingle
It is Biblically a higher calling to be Single.

@@zarinahelizabeth You’re welcome. And yes Peace is everything!
Everything you have said resonates with me.
And 60! No nonsense anymore
Well said. I totally concur. We speak in depth about the issues so-called "black" men have with women. Hope to connect some time.
Thank you. I checked out your channel. You have some interesting content.
@@TheSoLoist-Lo Excellent. Let me know if you ever want to build!
Can't settle for less than I feel I deserve or desire ❤
Exactly! I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to understand. 🤷🏾♀️
I thought you were holding a dog. 😅 I see it’s a microphone.

It's not a trend. It is common sense. Who wants to be responsible for a grown baby?
