Single individuals, particularly women, often face significant financial disadvantages including higher taxes, lack of joint income benefits, and increased expenses for housing, groceries, utilities, and personal maintenance, which can make independent living more expensive than partnered life; this economic reality challenges the notion that women can fully function independently without male partnership, suggesting that men provide value beyond just financial contribution through shared responsibilities and economic benefits.

Women FINALLY See They Need MenAdded:
Hey, hey, call me Shape. And today I'm reacting to a video titled Women finally see they need men. Let's get right into it.
>> You know, today has been a day. You know how I work hard. I work hard for this [ __ ] money. You know, this is a lot. This is a lot of service. You know, and just sometimes I want to be in my best soft girl life. You know, but so far it's more so been like I'm with the gang, I'm with the mob, but what you thinking? Like in the trenches, you know?
The It's been ghetto.
I just I just want to be like soft and spoiled and bent over on a balcony with a ocean view by somebody's not dusty dusty son. And hey, if you want to pay a bill or two, that's lit. I'm just saying, look, I'm an independent woman, but I take gifts.
I'm just getting home. I have groceries and I have two big cases of water. I cannot stress how much I'm tired. I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl. But yet I'm forced to be the man of the house. My son is not home, so he cannot help me.
I just got so overwhelmed having to think about carrying all this in the house. And I just did the workout like I'm tired of being an independent woman, okay?
I'm just I'm really tired. Like this This just almost sent me to tears just now.
Fix it, Jesus. Singles tax is so frustrating because what do you mean I spend more money just because I'm not in a long-term relationship or married?
I have to spend more money on my taxes, you know, I don't get that tax break that married couples get. And then also I just have to spend more money in general. Like the groceries, utilities, rent bill, every single thing that I'm doing is more expensive than my married friends because I don't have joint income. So frustrating. It's [ __ ] You know, we try to tell women this, but they didn't want to listen. They'll say things like, "I'm just a girl." Right?
Can you imagine if you finally realize that men were right because you're struggling to carry a 24-pack of water inside, right? They can pay for the 24-pack of water Poland Spring, but they just can't carry the thing, okay? And they'll sit there and think to themselves, "Gee, let me make a TikTok video about how I'm struggling and I'm tired and I don't want to do this anymore." Mind you, she's a single mom who has a son, but even he's not around, right? Even your son husband is not around. Look, I wish it didn't feel so good to say I told you so, but it feels amazing. It feels amazing watching these women say, "I would love a soft life. I would love to be bent over on a balcony, bent over on a balcony, but you're so masculine, you're so independent, you don't deserve that." You don't deserve a man giving you that that ham. You feel me? They don't deserve that. So guys, I don't know if about you, but I don't feel like rewarding women who believed a lie for so long, now they're stuck in their ways and they want out. Yeah, they don't want to work anymore. Yeah, they want a man now because there's tax benefits. I'm sure that's the only reason why you want a man now. I'm sure.
Just for the tax benefits.
Anyway, I'm not shocked to see this day finally arrived, but it's good. It's good to see them whine and complain about it because Jesus, we tried to tell y'all.
And yeah, you can get a roommate. You can make it a little bit cheaper. You don't have to live by yourself, but like even a roommate, it's still more expensive cuz we're going to have separate rooms, separate lives. I've never like split groceries with roommates or anything before, so I don't know. It's all I don't We just have to spend more money cuz we don't have husbands yet, I guess, and that's what's frustrat- I'm going to front with y'all. Paying for an apartment by yourself is so ghetto.
Yes. I I second the gettoness. Like I really want somebody like I'll really wife up wife up. Wait, what Wait a minute. I'll literally take anybody to be my spouse right now.
It's so expensive. Like paying for my rent now has got me looking at some people sideways.
Because they did not teach you house manners.
And also I try to make sure that I spend every day at my house because now that I'm paying rent, I'm trying to make sure I utilize every single activity that my apartment has. I make sure that I utilize every space inside of my apartment. I make sure to to just make sure that I'm getting my money's worth.
It's getting It's really expensive to be single in this economy.
It's getting very expensive.
I'm not going to lie. You hear the 40-inch lip?
She's ready to wife somebody up.
Oops, that's the masculine side coming out.
And look, you know, I get it. Women, y'all don't want to pay for apartment all by yourself, you know. But I got to tell you something, ladies. We're not roommates. Men, we're not roommates. Our value in this world is so much more, but still women reduce it. And they say that we objectify them. Cuz everything I hear is financial. Everything I hear is I can't lift this up. I can't open this jar.
But we do that and more. That's the funny part about it. We do that and more. And we can make you a mother. I can make you a mom. Do you understand that?
So please, don't reduce me to a roommate. Don't reduce me to a wallet.
I can change your life for the better.
And until women start realizing this about men and start showing up appreciating this, they're never going to get it. Hey, hey, listen up, Shay Squad. Are you tired of being ignored by women? Well, download my free ebook Be Attractive and Shut Up. It's going to teach you how to master attraction, build unshakable confidence, and win with women without words. Cuz chances are you're not ugly, you just talk too damn much. So, download my free ebook Be Attractive and Shut Up and Take Control of Your Dating Life right now. Now, let's you get right back to the content.
Sometimes it's hard being so [ __ ] independent.
And I'm just tired all the time.
Why is being a girl literally so much more expensive than being a guy? I'm getting underarm laser and I love it. It came out to like $50 per session, which I actually don't even think is that bad, but after paying for all eight up front, it was like $500 and laser is just like one of the things that I got done to prepare for an upcoming trip. I'm going to LA. Some other things included [music] getting my eyebrows tinted and waxed, that was $50.
Getting my nails and toes done was another like $100. Obviously, I have to buy more clothing, so I want to revolve today. I spent $1,000 on clothing.
Before I even get there, I've spent over $2,000 on things that I need to do in order to look good. But if you're a guy, no, you don't you don't have to do any of that. You literally just show up, throw on some [ __ ] jeans and a tank top, and call it a day.
Let me tell y'all why it's so hard for me to date. It is so hard for me to date because I can literally do so much for myself. Like, I'm so independent, y'all.
I can take care of myself. I can buy myself whatever I want. I can go buy a new car if I wanted to. [ __ ] I can do so much for myself, okay?
When a man come into my life and think he not finna do [ __ ] for me, that's where it goes wrong every single time because why would you think I'm finna settle for the bare minimum? And I don't even give the bare minimum to myself.
[ __ ] I buy myself flowers. I spoil myself. I buy my own clothes, shoes, food, everything. [ __ ] why would you think you going to come into my life and give me the bare minimum and think I'm supposed to accept that? See, the problem is some of these men they would hate to see a woman on top. They would hate to see a woman flourishing and getting more. Like they don't like the fact that a woman could get more than what they could do for themselves. Like baby I don't need a man to take care of me. I never gave bomb.
I'm not a bomb baby. I take care of myself. But if you're in my life and I'm laying in the bed with you, you're going to take care of me. You're going to do what you got to do. I'm not going to sit there and lay down with somebody who wouldn't even pay my [ __ ] bills. And that's just me keeping it real. Why You think she's keeping it real she's lying. She spoils herself. Lady, I don't know if you know this but we can see.
You got popcorn ceilings. You ain't spoiled. You live in the trenches. What you talking about? Oh yeah, I I make sure a man go he going to pay my bills.
He going to pay my bills. As if that's so attractive to a man. The last thing a man wants to do is take care of some ghetto hoodrat from the projects.
We going to pay your bills. We going to pay your bills.
Out of here bro. And the last girl she's jealous of men. You know what's so funny? Women say oh my gosh so cheaper to live life as a man. It's so much more expensive being a girl. Well from my perspective, it also feels a lot more privileged to be a girl, right? People opening doors, giving you their seats. I mean when y'all call yourself princesses, I kind of understand. Y'all be acting like one to society to strangers you don't know. Every time I'm by a door and I see a woman coming, I already know. You know and I'm just like I kind of just accept it for what it is.
I'll open a door. I'll hold the door open for her. And you know what's sad about this? Sometimes they don't even say thank you. They just walk right in.
Acting like they don't even see me.
I'm not saying all people. Some people do. You know what I'm saying? But I'd rather just all right. Let's get this over with rather than like cuz the all other alternative is run to the door, quickly open it and slide in.
You know what I'm saying? Act like I didn't see her.
But, you know what? I feel like that's being a little too petty. I don't want to be petty and I ain't going to let woman ruin the fact that I'm a player and a gentleman. You feel me? I'm both.
Okay, I can handle the duality of that, okay? But, I'm still saying this, you're privileged when you're a woman.
You can ask me, "Can you reach on top of that shelf and grab me that? Can you lift up the water? Can you do that?"
I can't go up to a strange woman and ask her for favors. But, women do it to me all the time.
So, I don't know. You might feel like it's cheaper to be a man, but it's a lot more privileged to be a woman, for real, for real.
Because I can pay my own bills. I can come out of pocket for my own bills.
Never needed a man, but if I'm with a man, baby, yeah.
Anyone else in their 30s just realized that it's not even worth it to put that much effort into your job?
Like, is that just me?
I feel like in my 20s, I was like, "I got this. I'm going to do everything and I'm going to be the best at it." And then, I got in my 30s and I was like, "It doesn't matter if you're the best at it.
It doesn't matter if you do everything.
In fact, do less and you're probably going to get promoted.
Do more and you're going to get kept in the same spot because, you know what?
They want you because there's a bunch of people who figured it out to start doing less, but you haven't. So, they need you to do all the work that all the other people are refusing to do.
So, do less and you'll get ahead.
Do more and you'll be kept behind.
That is what I would tell all the 20-something year olds because I wish I knew that.
You're not going to listen. That's fair.
But, you should.
You guys, I'm so tired of being an independent woman. I don't want to be that. I don't I don't want to pay my bills in full, okay? I want to go halvesies. I don't care, okay? I want someone to pump my gas. I don't want to do this.
Nobody talks about how being single is so expensive. When I tell you, y'all, I live on my own.
>> [clears throat] >> So, I have to keep up my apartment, and when you have an apartment, you have to maintain it. Then you got bills, then you got car problems, then on top of that, your beauty maintenance. You got to make sure you look good. And then on top of that, God forbid a girl wants to have fun, she want to go to a restaurant, she want to get some new clothes, she want to take a little trip.
All of that is on you. Like, when you are single and live by yourself, like, nobody's coming to save you. And I feel like it's not talked about a lot. I feel like people are always saying having kids is expensive. Yes, having kids is expensive, I'm not going to lie, and I'm not even ready for that yet, but being single, baby, it is expensive. It is expensive. So, to everyone that's single out there, do you agree? Do you feel like being single is expensive? And if you do, how much do you feel like you spend?
Being single is expensive for everybody, girl. Welcome to the club. You know what's funny? Cuz feminism pushes the idea that men and women are equal. Men and women can do the same thing. And a woman can do everything a man can do except be an adult. They can do everything a man can do except be an adult. That is It's like the toughest thing. Oh my god, don't you see them struggling with this? And now women are saying, "I want to go halvesies." Oh, now you want 50/50?
It's like they're finally seeing the things we've been saying this entire time. You know, they get online, they make fun of the manosphere, they make fun of the red pill. Oh, these men on these podcasts, take away their mics, take away their mics. As if we're lying.
Because the truth hurts them. It's like their kryptonite. Oh my god, don't ever tell a woman the truth. She's going to start burning. You feel me? It's like bringing like garlic, you know what I'm saying, and a cross to a witch, right?
It's like, come on now.
But, just just a couple of thoughts I've had when I was watching these videos, I'm like, think about the advice women give to younger women about being an employee.
The lady was telling women do less in order to get promoted, right? Be lazy.
That's how you get ahead in the workforce. No, you about to get fired.
What you talking about? It's bad enough these women don't want to pay bills, but on top of that you're going to tell them to sabotage their measly ass job? Which by the way, I get it. Like you don't want to do more at work, but we've been telling y'all do more for men. The real problem here is that men and women are raised like they're the same. That there's no biological differences between the two genders.
If you're a man, go to school, get a job, retire. If you're a woman, go to school, get a job, retire. Delay having a family, wait till after college, take your 20s, sleep around. The 20s for holing. And when you're in your 30s, start rushing as all like all hell to get married. Because the truth of the matter is, if a man did that, fine. Fair enough. When a woman does that, catastrophic, bro. It's catastrophic.
And I see women go through the same process over and over and over again. If I meet a girl my age and she don't got kids, I'm like, oh, you fell for it, too, huh?
Oh, you fell Oh, you want to rush now.
Oh, yeah. You want nobody to waste your time now, huh? It's funny because in their 20s, women will waste your time.
Oh, yeah. They they got no problem wasting your time when they feel like they got an abundance.
But when it's your turn, when you got an abundance, now, I don't want a man to waste my time. You see them put that on their dating profiles. Oh, yeah. You better not waste Don't waste my time.
Don't waste my time. Well, baby girl, you already wasted ours. How many dates you went on with women that went nowhere? How many talking phases you went with girls that went nowhere? How many women just used you for your time and attention and it went nowhere? I can't even count. I don't got enough fingers. You know, so when I see this trend of women following the same path that other women followed in the past and they're getting the same results, which by the way are horrible, right? It's not like they got any results that they could brag about. I sit back and say to myself, well, should have listened to men. Should have listened to men. But hey, what do we know, right? Cuz according to feminism, men are dumb, women are smart, and they got everything figured out. All right.
Well, they just could do everything a man could do.
Except for open up a jar.
Right? [laughter] Except for change the batteries in the smoke alarm. Okay?
Except for taking out the trash. Except Except for a lot of things. But again, I digress. I digress.
This is what I do.
I look like [ __ ] I feel like [ __ ] but I came to work.
Why do I do this to myself? Like I I don't get it.
Bad again. Uh-huh, papa.
Woo!
It was a good day.
I'm tired.
So I hate the fact that money has such control over my life. Um I actually can't afford to survive. And I don't know if this is just like a me thing. Well, like in every Well, then also, by the way, before I just feel like I have to clarify this cuz people will say [ __ ] but like I do have my nails done because I went through something quite traumatic at the start of the month with my friend who actually treated me. However, I don't know why I feel like I should explain that anyway.
I am struggling so hard with like just living and existing. Like all I want is my bills to be paid and just like both of us to be happy. And that feels so hard. Like every single month there's a struggle.
I've now just got another job, so I'll be working 7 days a week. And people [snorts] keep suggesting to me, "Why don't you do a hair for to [laughter] this or do that to get money?" And I'm like, "I don't want to have to do that um to be able to pay like my bills and stuff.
I [snorts] really don't but it's so hard because I'm like, how is anyone surviving? Like my bills are over two grand a month.
>> [snorts] >> And I'm like, how? Like how is anybody doing it?
It's so hard having to show up for other people and being happy and stuff when like, oh my god, this guy's going to kill me when you feel like this.
But I always feel like there's just something in my life. There's always something going on. I'm so tempted just to sell everything and just literally sleep in my car at my mom's house. Like but I sleep at my mom's.
Um because I'm so over this feeling. Is anybody else I got to really ask this question because you know when she says, "How does anyone My bills are two grand a month. How does anyone pay that?" Baby girl, I wish my bills was only two grand a month. That's it?
You're doing pretty good.
And I'm looking at all the tattoos on your body and I know you didn't pay $20 for that.
Women will go blow their money on tattoos that make themselves look worse and then be crying that they can't survive. They can't sustain their life.
And I want to say this, ladies, money is important.
And even if you believe the lie that a man is just a wallet, that would mean men are important. You see how that goes? You see how that works? Right?
We're more than a wallet but money definitely is important. So if we can if we can contribute to you financially, which is one of the many things we can do for you, we are important. And one day you're going to finally see that. In fact, we're beyond important.
We're beyond that.
Okay? We're imperative. We are imperative.
Now, I I would love to ask women this question. Why do y'all believe that everybody is struggling just like you?
You know when a woman say like, "Oh I hope I'm not alone." Like they hope that someone else is struggling just like them. They want to find out that someone else is doing just as bad as they are.
But the truth of the matter is we're not all getting paid minimum wage. I'm sorry.
$2,000 a month? Some people make that a week.
I'm not saying everybody I'm not out here saying all men make two grand a You know what I'm saying? But the average man is making what? 50 grand a year?
45 46 47,000 grand? You know what I'm saying? That's what they're making. So if you add that along with the miserable income you got, you guys got some money.
But it doesn't take a lot for people to live a better life.
It's just the workload is a lot harder if only you have to do it. If you got to pay all the bills. If you can't split none of that. Do we really all need our own internet?
Right? Do we all really need our own water bills and electric bills and gas bills? We are being so wasteful having double of everything.
Right?
And think about that. We're we're so wasteful having double of everything.
Now you got to have twice the amount of cars, twice the amount of garbage cans, right? Twice the amount of um groceries.
Instead of sharing groceries be able to split and and cook and and save up money by meal prepping together, right?
So many things. Twice as many amount body washes and and toiletries, right?
All because what? You want to live the lie that women don't need men. [ __ ] live all by themselves and be happy that your career is so important. Nothing's going to be more valuable to you in your life than your career. And women have seen in real time that was a lie. It was a huge lie.
And I'm thankful for videos like this because even though I'm making this video now, I think this type of video is going to age like fine wine. They're going to look back and say to themselves, "Bro, that dude Shay was ahead of his time." And it's not really that I was ahead of my time and I was documenting the time. And we talked about what we believed was going to happen and watch what actually happened.
And all the things that men predicted, it all happened. It's happened early.
These women are young. They're tired of working in their 20s and their 30s.
They're not even It's one thing if you say I'm tired of working and I'm in my 60s, I'm about to retire. These women are tired and they just got on the job.
You feel me? Y'all just got here.
Right?
So again, like, you know, this gender war was a complete mistake on the woman's part because little did they know, men, we could we could handle war.
We are the apex predator, baby.
We're built for war.
Our ancestors as men died in war, okay?
And each each and every one of us got the capacity to do so with a smile. For our family, for our nation, for somebody else besides ourselves. And a lot of women can't do that because they're living for themselves and they're miserable at it. Imagine that. Anyway, like the video, subscribe to the channel, chat blowing up. I appreciate you guys. Check out some of my other videos and I'll see y'all over there.
