Thread: "You'll die alone"

Dying alone is how we all go. Death gets us all in the end, marriage is not some magic cure to that.

With regards to being "remembered". I have a child, I hope my child has children and that I do a good job laying the foundation for all of them to have happy lives, insofar as I can. I hope I am remembered well by them, but that's not the sole purpose of my life. Needless to say I am not in a relationship with my child's mother and I wouldn't want to be. I'm not going to have more kids so a relationship with a woman offers nothing to me.

As for people generally, I couldn't give a toss if they remember me.

To give my own spin on a point a couple of men here have raised, I too would rather go out quickly and on my terms than waste away slowly in a hospital or a nursing home, each day able to do less.

As long as there's hope of good times still I'll cling on. If I get a disease that will kill me mentally before physically, I'll go out on my own terms. Probably jump off a high cliff onto a solid surface to make sure the job gets done.

There’s no guarantees in life. Parents outlive kids, just the other day I read about a woman who had 3 sons. One died a few years ago the other two died from COVID. Presumably the father is not around either.

Spouses tend not to die at the same time either.

And even if you do have kids that survive they may not be there at your death bed. Having kids is a stupid reason to try and avoid the solo death.

Won't die alone if we get hit by

Giant Meteor!

I find all this talk about having kids to be remembered funny. In a few short decades nobody is going to care you ever existed. If you think having kids means a legacy then name your great grandmother . Go ahead I'll wait. If you can't name her then what makes you think you'll be remembered. Don't forget that families were also huge back in the day. 5 or more kids. All are gone like a fart in the wind.

I remember thinking about how my parents will die when I was 10 or something, that was an odd conversation to have... At this point I don't know if I'd actually cry, least not right away and I've got a good relationship with them too, just know that it will happen to them and eventually so will I, no big deal that's the reality of life.
Mortality, you can die tomorrow from a heart attack or a crash on a motorcycle myself - relatively okay with that possibility - would suck but I've had a good run of life so I can't complain. Don't think most blue pill people even think about death or their own mortality, not a very bright topic but it will put your life and any insignificant worries or problems in check.

Only thing I actually fear in this case is a prolonged/painful death, now THAT would fucking suck.

'Dying alone' is one of the most if not the most thing women fear.

Trying to read a woman is like trying to read the Sunday Newspaper in a tornado!

Don't look for any directions either, their compass just sits there and spins!

"So many are the imperfections that attend the loss of virtue in women, and so greatly are their minds depraved when this principal guard is removed, that in a popular state (a democracy) public incontinency (failure to restrain sexual appetite) may be considered as the last of miseries, and as a certain forerunner in the change in the constitution (the health and condition of the people and thus the nation). Hence it is that the sage legislators of states have ever required of women a particular gravity of manners. They have proscribed (forbidden) not only vice, but the very appearance of it. They have banished even all commerce of gallantry (white knight) -- a commerce that produces idleness, that renders the women corrupters even before they are corrupted, that gives a value to trifles and debases things of importance: a commerce, in fine, that makes people act entirely by the maxims of ridicule (smarmy, mocking), in which the women are so perfectly skilled."

What's wrong with dying alone? Would she prefer I take the whole world with me?

Finished reading down this thread. Especially liked the giant meteor comment.

But seriously folks ...

What is the opposite of dying alone in the minds of the people who threaten you with it and fear it?

Who here is old enough to remember the movie Love Story?
Or maybe saw it on TV?

It isn't remembered as a classic or anything, but it was a big deal in its day.

Women loved it. Men thought it was nauseating drivel, but took women to see it.
Including me not yet MGTOW.

White middle class conventional young couple, madly in love. She gets sick.
Spoiler: The girl dies in his arms.

That is what they are picturing, even if they never heard of that movie.

"Get married and have kids so that when you are dying there will be people to feel miserable as they lose you."

I'd much rather not cause the people I love to suffer just so that I get some comfort on my death bed.

Looking forward to it. If I don't die alone that means I'm surrounded by some tragedy.

Go back to evolutionary psychology.

Think back to more primitive times.

If a man was kicked out of the tribe, he might survive on his own.

If a woman was kicked out of the tribe, she will not survive on her own.

Men die alone all the time. Unless you are a suicide bomber, a passenger in an airliner crash, victim of a mine collapse, or sitting in a foxhole or tank that takes a direct hit, you die alone.

Women are not afraid of dying alone. They are afraid of being alone.

That movie made sooo much money, stayed in the theaters for two years, launched the careers of the two leads, and tapped into the zietgiest of the baby boomers.

Of course the acting careers of Ali McGraw and Ryan O'Neil petered out pretty quickly.
