inb4 miscers claiming how beta I am and how alpha being alone is. Yeah, sure is, buddy. You're gonna be such a star in your 50s trying to hit on 20 year olds that are mostly disgusted by you.
in the next 20 years, more people will be fit at older ages thanks to better supplements and nutritional knowledge and marriage will barely exist. there will be more attractive women in their 40s so getting laid in your 50s if you're in shape and not poor shouldn't be a challenge

And if you're FA now, you're certainly going to be FA when you're old and wrinkly as fuk.


Girls are a fuking mess, I get that. I may get cheated on, I get that. But I won't be a little lonely b!tch without kids when I'm 80 and alone.


So, give me the plus side of being single in your 50's and above, with no kids/grandkids.
You can smash left and right. Lots of hot 50+yo chicks.

That being said if I get my oneitis back I'd settle down with her.

Tbh, I've only seen like 2 or 3 marriages that I'd call happy, or at least look happy on the outside. In all of them, the people married young then one/both of them made dickloads of money shortly the. Brb get into it for the right reasons, brb remove the greatest source of stress on any marriage.

Other than that, I get the sense that most middle-aged couples pretty must resent each other but won't leave because of money or kids. Honestly, I'd rather stay FA than deal with that bull****, especially when you're the male and have a financial gun to your head.

I've talked with a couple perma-single brahs in their 40s and 50s and they all seem pretty messed up. I don't think you can be alone that long without it screwing with you hard. I've watched one brah go from his 40s to his 50s alone and you can just see him weirding the **** out as time goes on. But working all day to provide just to come home to a wife who doesn't love you and kids who don't appreciate you would be a whole different kind of hell. I would rather come home to an empty house every day than get trapped in that.

One thing about dating when you're older that I've observed from my Dad, they're all fuking crazy.

They have built up a lifetime of issues, they can usually hide it for a few weeks or months, or even a year... but it eventually comes out.

Marriage is for the insecure. The only reason marriage should happen is to start a family, but even then that's questionable nowadays.

Let's say you love your job. But if your employer made you sin a contract saying you'll work there for the rest of your life would you do it?

HAHAHA fuking what? People don't need better "supplements" and "nutritional knowledge." All the information one needs is already out there, they just choose to ignore it. No, there won't be more fit people at older ages because being fit is a choice, and a choice that many decide not to make.

Just like it is now, 97% of women in their 40's and 50's will be saggy and washed up.

I agree. I felt the same in my early and mid 20s. I never wanted to get married and have a family back then. Now I am 31 and married. Go figure.

Your priorities change and having a strong family is important to a functioning society.. What would you have done without your family? I have many aunts and uncles that went the no marriage and no kids route. They all have admitted that they regret it. They spend a lot of time alone.

yeah you save money but when you're 80, can't drive, barely function - it's off to shady acres to get treated like crap rather than have kids helping take care of you and living with you.

Most guys I meet who are 60 plus with no kids - have pretty empty miserable lives and depressed as fuark. Almost homeless. Even worse if they have no wife/she died.

plus dying alone - that's FA dude

I know a few that have the single 50 male life.

When it comes down to it, they're just coping with their lonely meaningless existence until their time is up.

I just don't live with girls I date or have a huge emotional connection.

Society perpetuates marriage: it is an industry with the rings and cost of ceremony etc..

Just like they tell you to go to school, get a job working for someone else etc...

If you want an average life, with a fat average wife fine... It is somewhat satisfying i suppose. It is definitely good for society to have docile beta males who will go to work every day to support the family. Studies show married men work harder and longer.

however lets not pretend that you will somehow not die alone if you are married.

I am a doctor, in the nursing home, everyone is demented, you forget who your loved ones are. If you have cancer you will spend your last days in a haze of opiates.

Most people don't even know the name of their great grandfather so lets not act like this lineage thing or "leaving your mark" matters....

open your mind: society pushes what is best for the average chodes because someone has to pay these taxes right? Don't have to follow this road blindly.

you have most definitely swallowed what the media has sold you hard. Frankly you sound like the one with autistm
:a developmental disorder of variable severity that is characterized by difficulty in social interaction and communication and byrestricted or repetitive patterns of thought and behavior."

Life is not black and white. There are shades of grey.

Being so dogmatic and saying happiness is not possible without a wife and kids is narrow minded.

half, if not more marriages end in divorce.

Many kids and parents hate each other.

There is more than 1 path to happiness.

and 40-50 year old men who keep themselves in shape, have money are socially well adjusted sleeping with 20 year olds, if that is the goal, is not uncommon at all.

Want to talk socially awkward? Try talking to some dude who is married with 3 kids, works all the time and drives the mini van his wife made him buy. Game over...

someone people equate not being married with being isolated: studies show those who are not married and do not have kids tend to have more social connections, more friends and go out of the house more often then those who are married
