Short YouTube monologue (Anwar White, posted March 29, 2025) addressing whether women who practice sexual abstinence can expect long-term relationships. The speaker affirms there is hope, cites research claiming about 90% of people eventually enter long-term relationships, and warns that only an estimated 10–20% of single men are "relationship ready," framing timing and partner readiness as the central issues.

Lita said. Is there any hope for the girlies on our abstinence journey? Asking for myself, well.
A couple of things.
One.
I think there's always hope. If you look at the research, it will tell you that 90% of people will get into a long standing relationship. I think the question is more about when, not if.
Two, I do think it's important to realize that you're probably going to have to. I generally say that 10 to 20% of the guys that are in the single market are relationship ready. I think it's important to understand that when you're on your abstinence journey.
You'Re going to have to cut that in half, maybe more. Right? So if there's like let's say 15% of eligible bachelors, you probably are gonna see 7 to 8% that are going to be available. It just might take a little bit longer. I do think it's important for you early on to share that journey, probably around date to date. Three, that'll give you enough time and enough investment from him to make an informed decision about how to continue with you or not. I've had a lot of women be on their abstinence journey and get married in my program. One of my latest episodes on my podcast is called Shirley's Engagement Journey where we talk a little bit about that. So it's definitely very possible.
