 I have to flick some boogers at single mommies because Anthony really wanted me to. I'm not gonna do it myself this time. Last year's video, you can check it out. But do not LTR a single mommy. Play them, that's it. Don't date them, don't LTR. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna give you some opportunities to check out some comments from some people that have commented in my most popular video or one of my most popular videos. There's like, I don't know, 10,000 comments. So I pulled a few out. We'll just highlight a few of them. This guy over here, the ability to appreciate anything I do for them. If I am in the middle of doing something for them, they are sweet. If I am not, I'm a piece of furniture or a piece of electronics that they turn on or off. It's tough. 100% correct, was with a single mom for 17 years and it was a constant battle and I was never right and she basically wouldn't cooperate with me on anything and always chose her son's bad behavior over me. I gave it my all and it made no difference. This guy over here says, it has to be the stupidest thing I've ever done. This guy, there's some cold heart truth right over here. Simon says, seriously, if anybody here needs another reason not to date a single mom, hear this, dude, you're racing somebody else's kid. What the fuck is wrong with you? Your genes will go extinct. Your name will disappear while the dude's genes and name will continue on. Just thinking about that drives me crazy. This one over here. This one hurt me when I broke up with my single mommy. After the relationship ended, I swore that I would never date a woman with kids again. Worst thing was, I got really attached to her kids, after, sorry, her girls and after we broke up, you never see them again. They're not your kids. You're just an accessory. Do not LTR or marry a single mom. Single mothers, I'm gonna hit on single mothers for a bit because not a lot of people talk about it. I came out of a three year relationship with a single mother last couple years. This is a meme that somebody sent me that I kind of chuckle that but I'm not gonna read it off. You can see it there for yourself. We'll leave it up for a sec. But there's truth in every joke, okay? When you see these stand up comics up on stage telling their jokes, the reason why they're funny is because there's elements of truth in them, okay? So when you see stuff like that, you gotta think about it. The thing about single moms is, you're gonna end up with double triple quadruple to heartbreak. This ex of mine had a couple boys and when you spend time playing Halo with little Timmy and zeroing the scope in on the BB gun of Billy and you take trips and you do the blended family stuff, when she goes, they go too. You'll never see them again. And even though they might have driven you absolutely nuts, you have like double or triple the heartbreak when you deal with somebody like that. It's also very easy for them to end the relationship because I've done it once. At my age, I was dating mostly divorce women. Seven out of seven or eight out of 10 women are divorced because they initiate the divorces. So it's very easy for them to move along and just slide into the next relationship. They have questionable judgment skills. You talk to single moms that have been divorced. You'll hear all kinds of stories from them about why they got married, the children, why they made all these decisions and choices and after a while, you'll start to ask yourself, that's pretty questionable and I don't see you taking a lot of ownership on whatever it was that you contributed to that. You'll never be a priority. You'll come in behind the kids, the cat, the dog, the extracurriculars, the parent student nights. You're like fifth or sixth. You know, the tree that needs to get removed in the backyard sort of thing. You're not gonna be a priority. You know, save yourself for somebody else that has the capacity of the time. They think the world is gonna revolve around her and her kids. She's emotionally unavailable. I talked about the amount of fucks that you have in your day to give to things that are truly fuck worthy. Well, single moms have kids. They're gonna take up a lot of the time and resources. Most single moms have custody of their children more than the men, okay? So they're gonna have to deal with a lot of parenting issues. Mothers tend to doad over their children more than men do. Men are kind of more of like, let me teach you how to deal with this sort of thing. And mothers are like, are you okay? You know, are you shitting properly? Are you eating well? And all this sort of stuff. I'm in my 40s. My mom still mothers me. They eat up a lot of time and resources. You can even ask married men in this room what it's like to be married. And you'll start to recognize after a while that a lot of energy and resources, even in married couples where they have the children together, is eaten up with a mother spending time with the kids. They're not yours. Emotionally unavailable, her kids will work against you. They're not intentionally trying to do this, but even your presence in that relationship, you're pissing on the flame of reconciliation between the two parents, whether they choose to acknowledge it or not, okay? Even if you're a stand-up virtuous guy, you can bend over backwards and do everything under the sun for them. You're still, your presence is still pissing on the flame of reconciliation the way they see it, depending on what their age is, especially if they're younger. They have a distorted self-image. All you have to do is go on any dating app. See, single moms in there, they think they're a 10 when they're like a six. Everybody's had that experience, I'm sure. They don't take a lot of ownership for the mistakes that happen in their life. And it's 100% investment with 0% ROI. At least with my own daughter, what I invest in her, I get something back. I'm invested in my own lineage, okay? You don't get anything back invested in some other man's children. Lesson number nine.
