@@AchillesVanes I agree with you that casual hookups and demoing people is wrong. But I don't think arranged marriage is the only biblical way. Also Solomon had a fall so not everything in Ecclesiastes is from the light of setting an example. The bible even says he was led astray because he married many pagan women, so a lot of what he says in Ecclesiastes is realizing his own mistakes. Pursuing promiscuous women is destruction of kings. But that doesn't mean don't pursue a wife altogether.

@@the7thousand I actually respect that you took the time to respond to me. Just please understand when I say this: a lot of women today have no intention of actually becoming wives and obeying their husbands.

I don't think it's ever a good idea to try and convert someone in order to date or marry them. If they do convert, then their reason might just be you, and not God. Point them in the right direction and let go of any romantic feelings for them. Don't get close to them either. If you see them later on in life and they're Christian, then you can consider dating. As far as men being less spiritual than women goes, I don't think it's a problem. As a Christian man, my relationship with God and how I talk with him is private, and I don't want to advertise it to people. Everyone's relationship with God looks different, and what matters is that we're pursuing to grow deeper with him and not inhibit our partners from doing the same. If you can do that in a relationship, then it doesn't matter if one is more spiritual than the other. Let grace and love cover our deficiencies like how Jesus has done for us. I think settling for a sitting man is just fine as long as he's standing in the future. It's not your job to make him stand though, it's God's. If you see godliness in his life, give him a chance.

Very relevant discussion for our times. Social media is definitely one of the more pressing issues in modern society. I guess I disagree with the notion that you should always straight up delete it. I think moderation is still a better way to go here (though that might be me being too idealistic ). But that’s personal decision. If a person feels like it has a negative impact on their life, especially their spiritual life, then it is appropriate to quit it all together. Overall, I think the thing itself is not bad, but abuse of it is. But each person should definitely evaluate their social media use, keeping in mind some of the points that you mention. Do you think social media affects relationships/dating? I think it does and in a negative way. I feel it creates a sort of distorted sense of reality, like first in terms of beauty standards but definitely other aspects as well.
@the7thousand
@the7thousand 10 дней назад
Hi there, yes you're right not everyone needs to delete it. Ideally it should be manageable and effect quality of life. However especially for those in the dating phase of life, I think it does distort reality as you mentioned, and quitting altogether might be a good option for those in that boat

The problem is that women leave men in relationships 9 times out of 10. They act as if they want a man to be with and go on to reject the entire platoon for the sake of "waiting" and "not settling" when it's really a smokescreen for not knowing what they want. They are known to be ruthless and mocking to men either behind close doors or putting him on blast out in public. What men understand now is that there is no one to help them in these situations. When a man tries to pursue, he risks his reputation and potentially his participation in that social environment if things don't pan out how he hopes. The undercover feminism in the church has helped nothing but boost women's ego, destroy families and use up their bodies on men whom they cut off just to act "pure" again.

Andreea thank you for being bold and sharing the love of Jesus with everyone. This video as well as your newest video kind of fall into the same category I want to throw my two cents into. You are my sister in Christ and I never want to invalidate or discount your experiences. In saying that I just want to briefly give a look into the man’s perspective on these issues. As a man who has never stopped going to church but has not been super plugged in for the past 4-5 years. From my experience the church puts men to a higher standard than that of my sisters in Christ. I agree that men should step up and lead but I feel as though the standard is impossible and even though Jesus love and grace is sufficient the church will not be as forgiving. I also have seen that issues either working against or struggles that females have is elevated more than a man’s. If a man has a struggle he is to keep it to himself and take it to a brother in Christ. I feel that has amplified the rebellion of men in the church. As far as dating it’s too exhausting. I’ve tried dating unbelievers and believers and to be honest they have been pretty similar. It’s very discouraging, they want a mysterious “bad boy” that gives them a thrill and disregard a man of God who is trying to please his creator but isn’t a very attractive, tall, outgoing, and funny guy. Again I say this not to be antagonistic but to see how we can come together as brothers and sisters in Christ. I have watched your video and will see ways that I can improve in my life and walk with Christ, again thanks!

Hi thank you for sharing the perspective of an actual church going guy :) A lot of non church goers have been commenting so it's nice to hear from someone that kept the faith. I agree there are issues on both sides and I don't believe men should keep things to themselves. I think one of the things the modern church needs the most is discipleship and men's groups where men can really grow together for things like this. I agree with you about dating being exhausting, honestly on both sides. Both sides have experienced christian ghosting, time wasters and non-commital situationships that lead to nowhere. I believe social media is a huge problem which I talk about many times on here, along with some other things. This episode is not meant to bash the men. It's to encourage the women that still attend church but are not finding men there because men have left. I'm not saying men don't have reasons to be dissatisfied, but this episode was more meant as an encouragement to women who want a church going man and are finding very few lately.

We dont care about free day care or free coffee. We want to learn the word of god. I need to do best for my woman and my love for God. And a lot churches don't love God like they claim. Also, as other have claimed. David and soloman has multiple wives. Solomon had HUNDREDS.

Telling man to step it up, as like calling a woman fat. It’s such an insult that women throw around in the wonder that men have gone their own way and stop dating. If #MeToo didn’t kill it, all the pervasive Iga testicle narcissistic TikTok videos of girls make things that men are trash pretty much did you all in. Now men are just getting passports and going overseas or they’re not dating at all because western modern women are not worth anything. There’s thousands of videos proving this all over the web but women don’t see it and they don’t want to see it. They’re too busy chasing dopamine online with their multiple websites. I know you’re trying to make sense of this, but they don’t care about making sense they don’t care about logic they’re thinking I’m not getting what I want from men and that’s a problem. Therefore may need to change. Really? That’ll never happen so I’ll man can do now is just walk away and not look back and watch the destruction of society that that they built for you but it turns out a lot if you weren’t worth it. So let it burn. US birth rate 2016-1.82 2017-1.77 2018-1.73 2019-1.71 2020-1.64 2021-1.66 2022-1.67 2023-1.62 The US will be at 0 birth rate in 2056 or sooner.

In regards to your most recent video, I saw the comments were disabled to avoid angry joes, I understand. I just wanted to give my take on why millennial guys are absent from the church. I'm 23, and I haven't been part of a church or group for several years now. My old church was very fond of shaming men for "needing to do better" and praising women for no reason really. There was also a small group I briefly was a part of, but it was full of gossip and drama, the guys and girls would fool around and it was not godly at all. Based on these experiences, I have no desire to join another church, and I have very little trust for people in general. My Christian mother divorced my dad after 27 years of marriage and 8 kids (all from this single marriage), and she maintained a two faced life, where she made my dad's life a living hell while smiling and putting on bible studies. I am currently living life, working, going to school, the gym, and leveling up. With today's 'metoo' movement, I am VERY averse to asking girls out, and I have zero luck on dating apps, even when I make it clear I'm not into hookups and want a godly and healthy relationship. Basically I'm done with trying for something I've been told I'll never be good enough to achieve. Whether it was the church constantly telling me I need to be better or the dates I've been with Christian women amounting to nothing, I'm just done. It's very frustrating because I know I have that heart you mentioned, where I may not be 'kingly', but I want to grow and be that way with a wife. Even though I have that, no Christian girl has given me a chance to express it. Don't write off guys with GOOD hearts just because they aren't 'Davids' yet. Some advice I would give to you and Christian women looking for Christian men is MAKE THE FIRST MOVE! Start a conversation with him, invite him to sit with you, ANYTHING. And keep it to yourself, don't tell all your girl friends in the church! It just leads to gossip and drama, many girl friend groups are toxic and will sabotage each other, even ones at church. A godly man just wants peace and a wife to share it with, so if I were to pursue you and you reject me and tell your friends, you just destroyed a little bit of peace in my life, and likely ruined my chances with any women at the church. Church is for God, it's not highschool. Those are my two cents, I appreciate your perspective.

I said this comment to someone else but I think it might be of use for you too. "I literally came her only because the comments were gone. What christian is afraid of hiding the message of Christ? Her issues with alienation with her faith are because she is not humble. Galatians 5:2 So many modern women enter into the female belief covenant and see everything through that lens. They even see their relationship with God through their feminist lens. To a person like this Christ is of NO USE" It seems your last church has abandoned the covenant with Christ and joined this modern dogmatic belief system that pits men and women against each other, dehumanizing men and glorifying female impropriety. This is far beyond shaming women or men, or search for high value this or that. We are at risk of losing our ability to even have a meaningful relationship with Christ all together. My message to everyone in the west... Wake up before you fall too deep into alienating ideological movements.

@@Reallgeemachine well the majority or at least many comments on this video are replies to her video with comments turned off. Which is interesting because I think that is the case because, me personally at least, am tired of the message of “where are all the good men?” Or “why won’t any men date me? I follow God.” There’s no introspection just it’s the man’s fault, and the church and ladies are not to blame. This isn’t to say men aren’t a part of the problem but me personally am kind of tired of always being called the problem when I love and follow Jesus.

Men arent going to church because there are literally zero incentives to do so. You come into the church as an isolated male, you dont know anyone, everyone there already knows eachother, they have their own pre-exisring social circles going back many years, decades even, they have a far deeper knowledge of their religion than you do, you dont know how any of this church stuff works, and they treat you as an outsider. Breaking into their social circles is extremely difficult. Outsider males are viewed with suspicion. You talked about men not approaching women in the church. Why would you want to approach strangers you've never met before and have no rapport with? In the past families/friends would introduce their sons and daughters to eachother. There was a type of matchmaking culture in place. Now men are expected to cold approach random women they dont know, carry the conversation, and build rapport spontaneously from nothing, no shared history, no mutual friends, ect. Cold approaching is not natural, there's a reason men are so resistant to doing it. Also, the modern churches are run by women. They put women on a pedestal and ignore the needs of men completely. Men have no positve role models to look to that will give them masculine advice. And the church never criticizes the poor behavior of modern women, it just ignores it and treats women like disney princesses, while simultaneously laying all the responsibility on men to fix the worlds problems. You arent guaranteed a wife, family, and house anymore. Modern women have higher standards than at any point in history, they're shamelessly promiscuous and completely self-absorbed in social media for validation. And it doesnt help that you are telling women to wait for mr perfect in spite of supposedly having so few options in the church, using god as an excuse to justify having unrealistic standards. Thats just disgraceful and insulting to the lord. Why even bother with Church? Its not the beacon of the community it once was, where you could meet a good chaste woman to bear your children. Its lost its principles. Now the church supports lgbtq, feminism, abortion, promiscuity, mass immigration, and many other anti-white/anti-male things.

The issue is that millennial guys growing up in the church in southern california (im part romanian also) were given conflicting and impossible messages. In purity culture guys were told sexual expression and experimentation was bad or something shameful to be hidden that you can't be open about. So you had guys literally given books saying you aren't allowed to even look to anybody you might be attracted to (like "every young man's battle") unless you have the independent socioeconomic stability to make a lifelong commitment and pay for a wedding. So only guys who were psychopathic or liars could succeed or get laid under that kind of system, the rest get ignored because they can't afford to be the provider guy until they are much older at which point they often want to date much younger women rather than people who are judgmental and sex negative. They get tired of it and drop out and instead get a strategy to hook up until something sticks. The way it works is during the natural experimentation process oxytocin exaggetates outgroup differences leading to secure attachment in the context of socioeconomic stability. Another thing is nobody is waiting until marriage to hook up, so if a guy feels he has to hold out after the age basically everybody has hooked up already it doesn't feel right. You need the sexual expression to get things going in the first place. Disney sold millennial women on standards nobody can afford and sets guys up for one sided puritanical relationships and contractual dead bedrooms based on legalistic thinking rather than passion and physical and emotional chemistry. The Bible is not scientifically accurate and is not historically accurate and has been used as a tool of control and power for older generations which millennials may feel doesn't speak to their needs or experiences and is more about controlling them and repressing and exploiting them. So they drop out These days i think chaos magick and satanism is kind of cool Gay people and trans people and goth girls seem way more fun and appreciate me more without using their sexuality as a bargaining chip and don't require the guy make a lifelong commitment or afford an expensive formal staged wedding up front with a 50%+ divorce rate the minute you lose a job and complain that their unrealistic standards can't be met, controlled and shamed by everybody. As the guy, you have no leverage. Plus this idea of being "worldly." It often means you can't have any fun. No weed, no going out, no creative sexual ideas, no social deviancs and complete conformity - you are controlled and owned like a slave. The church girls will judge you for all that, restrict you, coerce you, so you feel trapped. You can't like anything fun or trendy. No video games, no concerts, no edgy music, no cartoon shows unless its Disney. There is jealousy all the time where they create a dead bedroom over time but then get jealous if you do anything outside of the marriage. Then the religious girls secretly do all the bad stuff anyways, except with the sucker guy that is the incel simp paying for everything in a one way dynamic Plus the idea in the church that the guy has to "be the sacrifice" like Jesus turns them into simp loser incels chasing shallow emotionally unavailable women that secretly go for the guy that breaks all the rules but the safe boring guy to take care of the money stuff.

Didn't king David have a bunch of wives and concubines? Yeah exactly. Some guys can do whatever they want and others are treated like loser slaves The women want to put up a facade to fit in with their modest purity culture community but then get with the guy that breaks all the rules in a weird culture of concealment because the all or nothing thinking is so sex negative people eventually act out in secret ways they feel they can't with their partner

Another thing is that the church teaches guys they need to be a "sacrifice yourself" for women (aka be a loser simp incel). Its suicidal thinking and sexually negative. If things are good and authentic you don't need to repress yourself, you naturally stick together Equality is better, though if there is a natural imbalance in power like age that's cool if you navigate it the right way

The issue is that millennial guys growing up in the church in southern california (im part romanian also) were given conflicting and impossible messages. In purity culture guys were told sexual expression and experimentation was bad or something shameful to be hidden that you can't be open about. So you had guys literally given books saying you aren't allowed to even look to anybody you might be attracted to (like "every young man's battle") unless you have the independent socioeconomic stability to make a lifelong commitment and pay for a wedding. So only guys who were psychopathic or liars could succeed or get laid under that kind of system, the rest get ignored because they can't afford to be the provider guy until they are much older at which point they often want to date much younger women rather than people who are judgmental and sex negative. They get tired of it and drop out and instead get a strategy to hook up until something sticks. The way it works is during the natural experimentation process oxytocin exaggetates outgroup differences leading to secure attachment in the context of socioeconomic stability. Another thing is nobody is waiting until marriage to hook up, so if a guy feels he has to hold out after the age basically everybody has hooked up already it doesn't feel right.

I came here after watching your most recent video. It's interesting to hear both sides, from within a community of strong morals. I'm sorry to hear that many men have left as of recent times. It really is due to economic pressures, in my opinion. Millenials see the economic model that their parents grew up in, and see that as a minimum. To think of less, is a depressing thought, for sure. I want to say something about how hard it is to meet expectations. It seems to be a very American thing for new families to 'need' an extra house for their kids to start a family. In many other countries I see multiple generations living within the same household. The level of comfort that we live with is a miracle that is very hard to reproduce (infrastructure, manufactured goods, food abundance). The internet is giving men understanding, compassion, and advice. And I think it's playing a part in men walking away from the church and finding a truer brotherhood online.

Hey so the comments on your newest video have been paused.. But I wanted to comment on the video. The men have been gone since I was a child and I am 55 years old born in the south grew up in an ALL black church. My great uncle(WWII gen) who himself was a preacher said the men stopped coming because most of the preachers where unredeemed pimps and hustlers of the street. These men saw that they could get more play and more money if they became pastors. The honest men of the community saw straight thru the fassad and refused to go to church. Pastors preach feelings to the women to keep them in the seats rather than preach The Truth which is harsh. Bishop Patrick Wooden out of one of the Carolinas said during the riots, you can't have a black community without the black male nor can you have a Bible believing church without the black male.

Hi thank you for your perspective! I had to pause comments on the video because people were being really rude and hurtful while the video was meant to encourage women who are devoutly following the Lord and genuinely discouraged by the lack of God-led men. I agree with you we NEED men in the church that preach the truth. Not all churches are doomed, some are still tying to follow the Lord and so what I do is I try to attend those churches that are biblically accurate and let God do His work in men in drawing them to Himself.

Many millennial men in and out of the church saw their fathers graped by divorce courts. Can’t speak to gen z perspective but they seem to be marrying earlier as they should. They gen z were probably raised by slightly more conservative and more well-off parents.

This cracks me up. It's always the same with "christian" women, just like the world. There are plenty of good Christian men around, but since they don't turn you on, they're consigned to friendship. It's most definitely about worldly stuff first (how attractive he is, how much money he makes, etc.), with the Godly stuff tacked on after. I remember when the prattle about "finding my Boaz" was making the rounds in the church. What they were actually looking for was the man that had the financial qualities of Boaz, but not the age; you certainly weren't finding scads of younger women looking for older men to marry. Feminist indoctrination has also had its effect on society and the church. How often have i had to sit through a sermon on mother's day and listen to the sainthood of mothers, and even women in general, then got to listen to a father's day sermon telling men they need to do better. How long do you suppose men, that already get attacked by the world, are going to put up with the same thing in the church? Let's add to that how often I've heard advice along the lines of, "if there are sin issues on her part, within marriage, then you need to do more servant leadership." What insane person would sign up for a relationship where the other peesons sin is now your responsibility? Or maybe how often the sunday school classes for men always revolve around service and responsibility, but those for women are fluff poeces like "finding joy", as if men only exist to be good attentive slaves, so the women can nurture theur feels. Its rare to find a woman media person willing to have men on that will speak plainly about what it's like for men, but you can find a thousand that will tell you what they think it's like. One last thing. I've seen far more couples in church where the woman is overweight and the man is not than I've ever seen the reverse. When that starts to change, I'll believe that women are looking for Godly Christian men first and the wordly lusts second. Until then, it's just cope.

Hi thank you for your comment. While I don't deny men have their own struggle, I'm speaking from a more conservative perspective which has its own unique culture and is quite different then the men-women relationships you find in most progressive churches in the U.S. My community is quite anti-feminism. However, I do agree with you the feminism has done a lot of damage to society. But I still believe a man that wants to seek the Lord will do so despite a feminist-influenced society. And I do believe there are plenty of good men out there. It would be great if more men started doing this so that way they could have a platform but it's unfair to expect us to invite them on. Nobody invited me to podcasts so I started my own to give my two cents on issues I have encountered in my personal life.

Men DO speak up on these issues, and start YT channels and podcasts to voice concerns and speak simple facts. They are shutdown by YT and social media policies falsely labeled as Misogyny, Hate Speech, and the mere suggestion that men should just stop dating or marrying women is labeled as “violence” against women. They are often labeled as “Incels” as if their celibacy is involuntary- when in fact it is QUITE voluntary. Better to remain celibate than to risk being trapped or falsely accused by modern female sociopaths. Literally guarding your own wallet and limiting your personal liability risks in life is seen as a crime of sorts. Now when men avoid females in the workplace for fear of false accusations against them - women are reporting men to corporate HR for NOT TALKING with them - even if they have no occupational interactions required by the job. As for the church, even the conservative traditional churches will SHAME men for not ‘stepping up’ in life. Good Christian men know that they only NEED Baptism, Confession/Absolution, Communion, and Faith in Christ - and they’re saved and will go to heaven. So they can avoid Church only stop in once in a while for a Communion, watch church online, and they’re good with God. No need to bother with the entrapments of mankind. I’m happily married to an amazing wife, but I also understand just how rare and amazing she is… Traditional, Christian, Feminine, and she brings Love, Peace and Joy to our family / home. Out of the 12+ close friends I have from my college years that got married - only 3 of us are still married. About an 80% divorce rate, and most of their divorces were hell. In America a significantly Higher number of Women own houses than Men. They got them in Divorce when they got custody of their kids and used their children to crush their husbands in court for extortion levels of money. Marriage is a creation of the Church, and it is the ONLY Contract in the world where one party almost ALWAYS wins cash & prizes for Breaking that contract! My wife once asked me if she died, would I remarry? No. Absolutely NOT. Not because I dislike being married. I work with statistics and I understand just how rare she is and how I’d never likely find another woman as amazing as her. It would be like getting hit by lightning twice and surviving. Slim odds.

Conspiracy theory : What if this relates to the feminist movement? In that the movement shut men down so much and shut them out so much that they noblonger feel safe in places that make them feel weak or vulnerable, the church. Or because they were told for such a long time that they don't matter now they dont feel like they need community or the church in general. This is just conspiracy though, not serious.

I've heard this argument before and I definitely think the feminist movement ruined society in general. However the churches I've attended does not promote feminism. I believe a lot of factors have impacted men. Because women are more emotional we tend to get more vulenrable which is why I believe a lot more of us have remained in the church through the rough seasons. But because men don't open up as much for fear of appearing weak or whatever other reason, I feel a lot of them have left the church and gone after other friends with whom they felt they belonged that have had bad influence on them.

David is a man after God's heart. He was looked down by his family because of his faith in God. They called him crazy and told me "don't expect too much" and just be normal. When Samuel came and recognized his faith by God, not even Samuel himself. He was fired up as any young man/woman would. He had a choice, just to stay alive to wait until the prophecy came true or risk it all for God. He did the latter. Consequently, God rewarded him many things just because he followed God with all his heart as he couldn't stand people blaspheming God. Moral of the story maybe, we give our best to God, risk it all, despite there maybe some bad news (we all have our valley death) but for those who put their trust in God will never be put to shame. Just like Zechariah's wife Elizabeth, a God honoring barren priestess (who spent day and night serving God in His temple), she gave birth to John at old age. Considering God's timing, God had this plan for John to be a witness of Messiah all along!!

If I am not mistaken, she is encouraging us to submit our desires to God and do our best for God and aim high. Let God be our provider and He will reward us.

Love how you use Jonah as example. Just a note, Jonah is the man of God. Bible is a redemptive love story of God interfacing with us. Historically, "Nineveh is notable in the Bible as the capital city of Assyria, a longtime enemy of Israel. (imagine they killed your loved ones and corrupting your people by idol worship.)" This story shows God's compassion and mercy for the gentiles and HIs people's enemy and animals (as oppose to God commanded the killing of babies, animals, women and children 1 Samuel 15:3). God's love is very explicit in the final portion of this book. The depth and tenderness of God's love in this book brings me to tears. Foreshadowing the love of Christ on the cross for the gentiles, a theme about love your enemy.

God speaks to us in a small voice. But as sheep, we can only recognize our shepherd's voice, not anyone else and they don't know where to go and feed/survive themself without the shepherd. Goats will just go anywhere. However, only by submitting ourself to God daily and spent LOTS of quality time with Him do we develop a strong sense to hearing shepherd's voice. The shepherd may lead us to valley of death, we fear not, He is ever closer to us. For His rod may give us pain, but it is His love to give us this pain, steering us away from snares, therefore, it becomes our comfort as the Psalmer said. In this pain, we are comforted because we know we are with Him and are safe as sheep blindly trust the shepherd till the end. "Prepare a table in the presence of enemy" just means that He is in control, our cups overflow, means that He wills to bless us. Therefore, if I am single for life, so be it, as long as He is with me. The suffering will only draw me closer to Him. Therefore, it is only gain not loss. The married couples still need to serve one another and less independent, different type of burden. After all, we are called to desire God and please God (Jesus said, I serve not myself but God )above all else. This is the will of God for us. Singleness or not, becomes very insignificant.

Psalm 23 has been the guide to me every single day. Listening to you make me feel I am not alone. Many others are on the same page. May God be glorified through us.
