Also, how do the older dudes here handle the future?

[_sideways_]

So ...nearing 40.
Got my money and health. Im working on putting more away in savings, because at 80 with no wife and kids ...
What are the options?
Not to be dark, but how would you guys deal with being super old and not having anybody?
Hire a maid to cook and clean until i pass away?
I own the house. She could live here and she will inherit it when im gone.
Thats one way.
But is there another way?

Bruce willes got dementia. Our hero ofcourse got a wife. You know what she said?

That the relationship " isn't through same anymore ,not as romantic anymore", and thus she wants out.

So much for the " let's get old together " Disney dream...you can be Die hard Bruce and yet some woman will leave you when times get hard..

 

[BaronOfHair]

By trying really hard to NOT dwell too much on it, a hobby which almost always results in the dweller becoming ensnared in analysis paralysis. Ruminating on

-One's recollections of the past*


And/or

-Fantasies of a future dystopia

BOTH serve no other purpose except squelching our capacity to lay the groundwork for a brighter future, in the here and now



*Newsflash: Our memories are often less accurate than John Hinkley's marksmanship. Regan hanging around long enough to ramp up the militarization of police departments here in The US + Renew our thirst for overseas military adventurism, when Vietnam was less than 15 years in the past, is testament to this)

I see your premise, BUT we really need to stop with the celebrity analogies. because they live completely different lives than we do.

 

[plumber]

that sort of question lends itself to getting some philosophical answers.

one day you wake up and think... what's the point. i am going to just do the same stuff i did yesterday.

health and money are really valuable. if you lose one of those you will then have different problems...
--

tactically... take a small part of your money and time and focus on helping some others that are less then you. usually the default action is to try to make friends with those that could help us. Instead try to find one or a few that you can help and or mentor. you might have to even spend a little of your money (but not so much).

Mr Scrooge was very happy after he did that. The real alpha finds and takes care of the pack.

yes you might get cheated or fall victim to a scammer. such is life....

Start a side hustle. can never have too much money and it can lead you into new adventures.

Come on, that is not it at all. There is an excellent 1 hour interview that ABC did. If you would have watched it, you would never say what you just did. That women loves him dearly despite the path they are on now. She isn't going anywhere. Never did she say or make one think she wants out. If a man ever wanted a supporting wife through thick and thin she is a great example.

She is out there doing interviews, public speaking, promoting a book about dementia so others can learn. She even said she is a total introvert and she has really had to push herself to do it. Lord knows its not about the money, they have plenty. Its not about ego either.

Due to the staff of care takers that Bruce requires now, he does live in his own house down the street and the staff lives with him and they have meals together and spend time together daily. They did this because of the effect it was having on Bruce's family. The kids couldn't even make any noise because it stressed him out. I don't know if you have ever been a care taker to a loved one that can barely speak and move but its exhausting.

I have 10yrs on you and don't worry about it at all. Make the most out of every day. Treat every day like its your birthday and do as you wish. Work hard, play hard and you won't have time to worry about stuff that doesn't matter.

Im 41 now, my mind on marriage has changed as I have got older. I'm hoping to be married within 5 years (not in America most likely South America, where divorce laws are far more favorable to men). I don't see myself raising kids in America, the country is turning into a toxic place really fast.

I know people think it's nuts, but I have done all you can think off, I've met women on cold approach took them home the same night, smashed girls of dating apps, 3 somes, group sex, smash a girl and then her friend back to back (not 3 some) in the same night. Approached thousands of women (heck I even had a field report journal that was free on another seudction site documetning my first 1,000 approaches) I don't say that to brag but to say that I'm looking for one girl to settle down with. Most likely in a safe place in South America

I've dealt with all sorts of races from various socioeconomic group, I'm ready to hang it up, but until then I'm just focusing on being a brand new better version of me

 

[BaronOfHair]

I'm ready to hang it up...

We all have such urges occasionally. Unless we go through the trouble of guzzling down that gallon of anti-freeze out in the garage, when and whether we get to call it quits is in Fortuna's hands alone

When I say ready to hang it up let me state i'm not talking about offing myself but quitting the game. I've put in enough work for 10 men in this lifestime, the energy, time could have been used to build a multi million dollar empire. What do I have to show for all my skirt chasing? some field reports and nudes? lmfaoooo

Many times I've had guys tell me they lived their life vicariously thru me. They saw all the hotties coming and going and wished they weren't stuck with their fat, nagging wife or their high paying job they were a prisoner to. I'll never trade all the great times and memories I made with all the women I was with. I had a damn good time. Like you, I've done things most men will never experience. The money I have isn't near what the value of those memories are and I have plenty of that too.

 

[Redwood]

I'm 32, and I've accepted that you will die alone and life's challenges like what's been mentioned here will become even more complex.

As long a man has a pulse, he's in "The Game". Note something about even fellas who swear that they're Going Their Own Way... They spend 98% of their time groaning over how f-cked up women/society in general are/is

And for anything more there's Viagra.

I think it depends on your interests and hobbies. If you are just naturally introverted & simplistic, then a life of casual sex doesn't seem that bad. However, if you are more extroverted and have hobbies that involve others then a life of casual sex isn't satisfying. For example, I like travelling, experiencing Michelin restaurants, and participating in community events. These are things I cannot do with a plate because plates aren't something you would really invest that time and energy in. Once I figured out that I can attract women I find attractive without manipulation & alcohol, I stopped caring about my lay count and casual sex. TBH, I receive more thrill from getting a woman naked for the first time and starting the dirty act over the actual sex part lol.

If you're among the few men who can achieve such a thing WITHOUT then atrophying, my hat's off to you

The older you get, the more you get to see friends and relatives go through the dying process. What you want to avoid is the nursing home. They are death camps. They call them "rehab," yet pretty much no one gets out alive. A broken hip for a person over 70 has a 60% mortality rate, because they put you in a home to "rehab," which exposes you to the leading cause of death in the US, facility-acquired pneumonia. The industry is very profitable for those who own it, with plenty of money to buy the media and the politicians.

The most important physical skill you need as an elderly person is the ability to get yourself to the bathroom. And the most important part of that is not being obese. Sounds simple, but it isn't when most people are obese. They end up bedridden, eating basically prison food and then sitting in a diaper full of sh1t that the underpaid cna was supposed to change but didn't. The life expectancy from that point for most people is 6-12 months.

Maintain frame. Continuing striving for excellence. Be the alpha of the nursing home. You’ll still be able to demonstrate competence in activities like bingo and arts and crafts.
