But the Coli told me men are the prize and no matter the age a man is going to get women.

More men are single now than women. Fewer men are attending college. Women income is rising while many men stagnate, and it’ll get worse a decade from now when the seeds of having no degree bear fruit for men.

Great time to be successful, have adult social skills, and take care of yourself as a man. Because an entire generation of men is about to die childless. Which side do you want to be on.

This can happen to you or me
It's called getting older and the uncertainty of the future
Life can happen to ANYONE
Even still, who gives a fukk about people are saying and doing all day?
People look at people and say it won't be me until it's them
The point is this way of thinking, I don't want to be alone, results in people making a lot of decisions based on that fear, instead of doing
what feels right, their intuition
Well yeah to some extent the bold is definitely true. But I also think its a cop out when we downplay the significance of human companionship especially when we talk about matters like end of life and death. As people are living longer, there are many who do have to think about who will care for them and help them when they’re too old to help themselves. In married couples because men are more likely to pass first, it’s usually the wife and kids that will help care for him/or ensure he gets sent to a decent home. For women it’s usually their kids. But for never married people, if they don’t have a support system, the $, and/or children to help care for them, well a plan for their end of life is certainly something to think about. never married childless men (and even the never married but men with children) don’t get the same support or care as married men or even as unmarried women with children. I don’t think it’s an issue that should be glossed over on some “well you never know with life”, when we have plenty of information available that shows the disparities right in front of our faces.

I know for the gmb crew it’s a tough pill to swallow but again its definitely a known issue and will probably increase as less people marry and have kids.

As a older breh with older grandparents……….

It’s easy to say yeah we all die alone which at its base level is true but that runway to get there is long. I can see how important interaction with others is to my grandparents for certain. Being alone/lonely for 15 + years of the back end of your life…….woof

you really think you're gonna die with your wife and family by your side holding your hand tenderly as you pass on to my side? NAW! you're more likely to die on the crapper, trust me :russ::mjlol:

As someone that’s pronounced a lot of people dead I can say that most people have someone there with them when they pass. A child, a spouse, a friend, nursing staff. Just recently they haven’t had family because of Covid restrictions but I’m always there to hold their hand. That’s only if you’re in a hospital/nursing home.

Hopefully you don’t die on the crapper, I can’t help you then.

The point is human companionship should be organic not the other person using the other person based on a fear, being alone
There are PLENTY of examples of this in real life
Miserable people all of them still alone with other people

I agree. I wasn’t proposing that either. I think it’s important that people don’t make a decision out of fear of being alone. But as I said I do think that as we get older having that companionship and people who love us surrounding us is definitely important. I don’t think it’s something a lot of people think about when they’re healthy and young. But as you get older and go through a lot of rough patches, health issues, etc, having people who care for you there by your side is important. Whether that’s a wife, kids, friends, a god child, etc.
