My complicated relationship with women.

I'm telling you, she really did drop those aubergines in the metro. 🤷🏻‍♂

Great vid and such a valid and common topic. I'm single at 59. It's not where I expected to be but oddly I find it's working for me and perhaps where I should be. 🥰🇨🇦

Thank you for your vedio it's really interesting to watch and this format is amazing 👍

You really got me thinking. You made some really good points on these deep thoughts. Where do you get all this wisdom and perspectives?

great video

You are a very honest and humble gentleman Nathaniel Drew.... The people who have you as a friend, have not just a great teacher but a wise companion.
May you be blessed in every part of your life.
Thank you for all your wonderful, inspiring videos! 😊🙏🏽🌸

You sound very self absorbed and childish. A lot like your Dad. Why would that interest an interesting woman? I also think that this excessive verbage is like a smoke screen trying to convince that there is really something here other than just a lot of verbal masturbation - so to speak. Be nice. Love yourself. Then someone nice will come along. Cut out the egoist narcissist navel picking. Thats a turn off.

I agree with someones below, in the coments: your video is a piece of art. Amazing job!

sex is mostly about making babies

At least you have/had a relationship with women/a woman

Thank you for being so open and honest. You were able to find the exact words to what many of us are trying to understand. Thanks for sharing your always helpful words.

I relate, man. And I struggle too, like so many others. I too am a very emotional guy, a romantic, a damaged romantic, but still. Overthinking things, striving to balance intuition and rationality. Rationally that balance can be found easily but to lock the sweetspot in place is an everlasting practice. To continually think on many levels but relax to let the intuitional feelings lead you through the darkness into someone's hand... Or entirely astray, because you didn't stop at the right time to think about what it all means but jumped to conclusions. It's an art and art is never really art unless you get to scrape a few knees.

It's lovely to hear someone meditating on life and love in a similar way that I do, and to hold onto hope (hopefully not naively!) You are a cool guy and more mature than your years it seems

Hook up culture does not satisfy. Eventually you'll find yourself as a 65 year old single man and debating whether you should hire a prostitute because a regular woman would never even go out with you anymore.

I find it odd how your video about women is about sex and romance but your video about men is about shattering your perception of masculinity. Seems a bit misogynistic and heteronormative.

Good video. I am a little surprised you didn't wonder if having no religion was part of the problem hooking up emotionally. It is very hard to know and embrace your true self without a solid spiritual life. Best wishes and keep up the good work!

I like the style of the video!

Man, this was amazing...such a beautiful video! Thank you :)

Thank you for sharing your heart. My husband and I have been married for 43 years. While superficially it may seem that we are opposites(I love opera, he loves rock-n-roll); we share the same values. We are in agreement about bedrock essential beliefs and that has helped us in the long run. I was drawn to him by his kind heart ( not just kindness to me) and sense of humor.( yes he is really cute too!) He became my friend first and then we began dating. Relationship building is worth the effort.

Thank you for sharing your vulnerabilities. I believe nowadays problem is that we generally think that something better awaits all the time. Also, we no longer want to sit challenges out and work on them when something grows a bit messy or uncomfortable -- most just run away and/or feel so entitled thinking they deserve better. Certainly, one should not tolerate being mistreated but I'm mainly referring to a simple lack of commitment... Even if we all do 50% less of everything or would slow down in it all, we would still have plenty and perhaps that would inspire us to appreciate us again a little bit more. Moreover, I also believe that this whole self-help industry is making it worse -- we have learnt that be flawed, terrible, psychopathic, loveless individuals ;) and are so trained to see flaws and analyse behavioural patterns that we forget to see the good in others. And we all buy into the meritocratic lie that we are apparently so connected with all human beings in this planet if one just makes the effort when in fact we went astray from the present moment and have gone blind for those around us that would care...

So you're telling me that girls text you back?

Please stpp with "the city of love".I don't know 1 french that uses this expression

Thank you for your thoughts on this, it makes me think about my own romantic life. Only one question: Why did you have to give it such a clickbait title?! It suggests an objectification of women, though your video isn´t about women at all , but on your perspective on love and romantics.

Have you ever considered men? Maybe your relationships with women are not really complicated but simply not right for you. I wish you all the best ❤

Although this video is older, I recommend the book "The Myth of Normal", where so much is explained on terms of how we actually need to function and how society has molded us towards competition rather than connection.

Wow. I’m so happy I found your channel. I totally agree with you on this even though I’m a woman but yes I agree with almost everything. Mainly the hookup culture. It’s so hard to be romantic in this environment 🤣

romantic relationships provide as much agro and pain as any benefit so you have to ask what is it really adding to your life other than sex and someone to hang out with.

I don't normally comment on videos, but I went through this myself. I went travelling and to university, participating in hookup culture in the moment and via apps. I met a boyfriend through the app, but it ultimately didn't work out. However, through out this entire period I also learned what I did and didn't want out of a partner, and more importantly to enjoy being single. I met my current boyfriend on a random Island in Honduras and we fell in love. He's from the U.S. and I'm from the U.K. and we've made it work for an entire year, purely driven by a deep love for each other. I believe the secret ingredient is making sure your most core values align, while accepting and appreciating any other differences. We both care a lot about the environment (we're marine biologists), history & culture and food. We can talk for HOURS on these topics. However im extroverted while he's introverted, I was single for years while he had an 8 year relationship, he's Mexican and I'm English so we also have our differences and are continually excited to learn about each other. I genuinely think the biggest difference between my current relationship and past experiences is having our core values aligned and I hope you can find that with someone because it is truly beautiful ❤

Word for word

Real intimacy takes time and emotional investment.
Hooking up is a completely different thing.
I really don't understand how some lucky people find love online.
In my case meeting for a drink with a complete stranger never turned out to be "promise land".

This is very beautiful! Thank you for this short movie 🤍

This modern day dating culture is not for us. Hook-up culture is pleasure seeking. Its lust without love. It’s dopamine seeking without oxytocin. The moments and feelings are exciting but some of us feel empty and sometimes lonely after we engage in sex without emotional connection. It feels like you’re made to feel wrong for wanting an intimate connection or to love! Food for thought.

The topic is great! And I love how you capture emotions in this video 🤩

Love the way this video looked!

I loved this video, so well thought out and relatable.

Love was NEVER less complicated. Take my word for it. I'm 70.

Real love may appear once or twice in a lifetime, just a personal experience though... But never stop believing...

Love it 😍 more of this please 🙏♥️

This is a great video and perfectly encapsulates my thoughts (especially with the unconventional path bit)

I agree 100% you read my mind there...

I am a religious person who considers my sex life after marriage not a "restriction" but an amazing gift given to me by Jesus, who created certain rules for my pleasure. :)

Very interesting - very Western point of view though :) There are non- Christian/secular countries where lots of young people are happily married without all the fuss or economic interest. Instead they enjoy a relationship filled with care and loyality. Yeah sometimes it’s hard work but anything worth something in this life is. Plus, people feel content with their marriage there because there isn’t a hook up culture that marriage is competing with :)
Just a few thoughts

Hello everyone

Many years ago when I was still single or at least in a grey relationship area I tried hook ups a couple of times. Then I realised that the sex was bad, it gave me anxiety and uncertainty and I wasn't really comfortable to begin with. So I called it quits and it was the best decision ever. Nobody ever died from sexual starvation. Meeting new people is one thing, sleeping with them is another thing. Also you learn nothing for yourself from hook ups. It's a total waste of time that keeps you away from your true goal.

The first shot of this video, is pure art!!
Increíble!!

I just wanna know the spot he is standing in the beginning of the video, what part of Paris that is?
