To me, this isn't necessarily about having a wife to be by your side in your dying days. But more about not being a intolerable a$$hole your entire life that absolutely nobody wants to be around you when you're old. Looks like a nice portion of this site have a negative outlook on life, therefore they burn bridges with those they may need to lean on when they get old.

That's what this is boiling down to here :pachaha:

We do this thread 4-5 times a year

Basically brehs happy they wifed up / with GFs trolling single brehs

The spin thread would be to troll married brehs about how majority of threads today end in cheating /divorce. Worst case scenario trolling. Seems like a waste of time to me

I feel that having a family makes fighting a life threatening disease harder. My mom had to still be the rock and lied about the severity to spare us, her doctor told us many of her concerns were about us her family and we wanted her to stay here for us. That's the last thing I want to have to prop other people up about my failing health to have people ask you to continue living as if it's actually up to you.

I don't want to die and leave someone heartbroken and alone.

I work in a hospital breh
It is appointed for men to die. When it's your time to go it's your time

I know. I'm a man of faith like you, brother. We all have our appointed times.

My point with this whole thread is to illustrate that if we live long enough, there will come a time when we will be vulnerable and helpless. And in those moments, there's a massive difference between being completely alone and having ppl around you that you've cultivated intimate relationships with over a lifetime. For most humans, it's not possible to cultivate such relationships outside of a family setting.

Imagine spending years or even decades having to rely on strangers for help vs having ppl close by who will do it because they love you.

Most of you young brehs live too much in the moment. It's important to project your current lifestyle into the future.

That's all I'm saying.

This question isn't nearly as profound as you think it is.

Most of those people who die alone in nursing homes have kids and widows and ex wives :aicmon:

Most of them had terrible families. I never said all families are good. But you have a better chance of having a fulfilling life with deeply meaningful relationships with one than without one. This isn't rocket science.

You gotta live your life. Pondering shyt like this is letting life live you. Everything is what it’s supposed to be. Everything is gonna be what it’s supposed to be. nikkas be too busy looking at they own movie instead of starring in it.

GMB isn't about eternal bachelorhood. It's recognizing that modern society doesn't match antiquated attitudes and laws regarding marriages both active and failed, and being willing to die alone if you never find a woman who respects your stance and loves you enough to stay.

Human needs and basic human psychology are not 'antiquated'. We have the same basic needs as our ancestors. But modern society makes it harder than it ever was to fulfill certain needs. I agree with you on that.

Doesn't mean that you're some super human who will not whither away if you experience profound loneliness though. So you still have to find a solution to the problem either way. Empty slogans are not going to solve anything.

a lot of nikkas here come from broken homes where there was zero support structure growing up, apart from their stressed out single mom. So the idea of the benefits a healthy family structure brings to everyone in the family unit is a completely foreign concept.

...Imagine having a heart attack in the kitchen and your decomposed corpse is only discovered due to the scent travelling into the neighborhood....

-When I was doing carpentry we had to demo a house. The owner killed himself in the basement & was there for months. It happened in winter but when summer heat came the body got so bad the neighbors reported the smell. Dudes family's in another state & he had nobody close here so it was a while before anyone noticed nobody had heard from him.

Now keep in mind I never said there would be no family. There will still be offspring. We are GMB, not incels.


Furthermore the presence (or lack thereof) of a wife does not improve the service of the oncologist, radiologist, or nuerosurgeon. Remember I am Not sentimental, so I hope you aren't about to start talking about warm fuzzy feelings. :russ:

A nuclear family is essential for raising healthy children. Now, sometimes circumstances might force you to adjust and do the best you can without one, but deliberately settling for anything else from the onset seems..... counterproductive to say the least. Handicapping your own kids:francis:

This is what I mean when I say most of you haven't fully thought these things through.
