00:00If a man is single for a long time, like two years, three years, or more,
00:05it doesn't mean something's wrong with him.
00:07Most likely, it's because he's wise.
00:10And that's not to say men who jump into relationships quickly are foolish.
00:14Everyone's path looks different.
00:16What I'm saying is, wise men have the smallest dating pool
00:21because they tolerate the least amount of nonsense
00:24from anyone who doesn't respect their peace.
00:27A wise man won't settle for someone who can't bring him peace or growth.
00:33He won't stay where he feels drained, unvalued, or consistently disrespected.
00:39Because he's aware, he sees red flags early
00:42and won't keep repeating the same mistakes with different people.
00:46He's learned too much to go backwards.
00:48Instead of chasing validation, he'd rather stand alone than lower his standards.
00:53He knows his worth, and he refuses to trade it for temporary company.
