Who's truly happy over 50? Happiness is fleeting moment throughout your life. It's a feeling in the moment, memories you should cherish. Content and Happiness are not the same. People that are happy all the time, is a front, they are depressed when other's are not around. People you think are happy, can't stand to be alone. If you're going to steamroll though life with a big ole smile on your face, you are probably going to miss cues when you should have taken the situation more seriously.

WookieMan says

You clearly don't have kids. You literally have no clue about life. I'm sorry.

This!

The most miserable people I know people over 50 who divorced their wife early on. And had to pay Child support for 10 to 15 years, and have no relationship with their kids. People don't realize when you have kids, you're not divorcing a woman, you're divorcing your Family.

I'm not knocking Rin for never having kids, I'm just saying he shouldn't knock loyal family people. If he's content banging foreign hoes, and AI crash test dummies, then good on him. It sounds depressing to me. I have a buddy, who is addicted to South American 3day to 5day Hoe excursions. He keeps trying to bring me along to one of his Columbia trips. But if I were to visit another country to sew wild oats. I have always had good luck just Macking on the ladies. I have never paid for sex, in that sense. Staying at a Selinas, and picking out from a line up a couple times a day. Doesn't sound as appealing to me, as making small talk with some sexy looking hot mama at the grocery store, who then invited me back to the Hacienda and I spent the whole trip there with her.
The problem I would have with doing that, is the clean break I would have to make when I left. I'm married to my family They would want more while you were just having fun. I would not start some long distant longing that could spiral out of control and bring that to ahead. It's better to find some lose floozie at the Karaoke on ladies night down at the pub.

Can't like this comment more. Life ain't perfect. Social media has fucked that up bigly as well with perception of what relationships and life is like. Oh well. Can't undo it at this point. People gotta think and actually pay attention.

Life is a game, you never learn but a fraction of the rules, and you always wind up dying somewhere in the middle of the game. Following what appears to be somebody else's rule book is the blind leading the blind.

So called psychology is a guilt trip imposed by narcissistic authority figures that makes you feel bad if you don't conform to artificial 'norms' that they have established more or less arbitrarily to maintain their authority status. Fuck them.

Most old people are boring because they only talk about their ailments, or the last time they spent eight hours with a picnic lunch and lawn chairs at the doctor's office because they didn't have a proper shit the previous day.

Just because I didn't throw my particular gene set into waring blender of the species doesn't particularly bother me. Those genes are out there, they just aren't all collected into me and never will be again, any way. I would dissolve inevitably through the generational stews. Maybe I didn't achieve some iota of maturity and insight by not raising my genetic narcissisms. It doesn't seem like most people get that much maturity and insight from the process, anyway, but it does tend to create better social cohesion, selflessness and community awareness, because keeping the rug rats safe and healthy requires a safe and healthy community.

Lot of men start taking viagra around 30. So around 50 it's gotta be more challenging.

I still don't need viagra.

Down, boy, down! It's unseemly to pup tent at funerals.

WookieMan says

Posting here is a meaningless metric. Maybe I'm happy, have a good life and have some free time to dick around on a forum? That a novel concept?

You seem bitter and defensive.

Let's see ... you were the one fighting with some guy in California, Bitcoin, over the value of cryptos and blockchain. What a waste of time? If anything, his comments didn't bother me at all. And why would it? I knew that digital gold wasn't crypto (at least not for another generation or two) but I wasn't going to get into a sparring match about it, comparing fly-over country to the coastal elites.

WookieMan says

You clearly don't have kids. You literally have no clue about life. I'm sorry. I've held back on this, but I don't care anymore. Just admit you gave up dude. You suck with women. Some guys do. You picked bad ones. Got burned. Have no family.

Did you know that the Chilean friend of mine, didn't take the vaccine on my recommendation and did the Rin Protocol inside-out? She did well throughout the pandemic. And yes, this was the one who wanted to settle down with me but I'd lost interest by that time. Yeah, your own wife didn't believe in you during the pandemic. And had she died via heart, kidney, or pulmonary infraction in the weeks following the jab, today, you'd be alone on this forum, balling your eyes out at all of us. So yes, I do know 'something' about life.

Tenpoundbass says

I'm just saying he shouldn't knock loyal family people.

TPB, Wookie started this. If a certain 20% of the population is happy with their setup, then great! You're the happy 20%. The remaining 80% also need a spokesperson to help enhance their happiness. If I were right now, married to that Chilean woman, I'd be even happier than Wookie touting that not only I am not only great hedge fund manager (not that that's some great humanitarian task in life) but that I'm married to some Penelope Cruz superwoman. In fact, Bitcoin and I may form an east coast-to-west coast alliance, where he provides the bullish signals on crypto, and I instruct the buy/sell orders with hedging strategies.

Well, I didn't choose that life. Instead, I'm happy where I am and manage my own affairs without others involved.

Rin deserves the 'Patnet Medal of Honor' for sharing his Covid protocols with us. The financial advice is just a perk. Escaping the tar babies of intersex politics may be sensibility over Nature's quagmire, but it is rational in its own way, so WTF.

Ceffer says

Life is a game, you never learn but a fraction of the rules, and you always wind up dying somewhere in the middle of the game.

No, it’s not a game. It is a lesson, and an opportunity. You are here to learn and choose. Will you learn of Jesus and choose to live, or will you reject Jesus and choose to die the second death? We all are born, and we all shall die, but those who reject their Creator, die twice. Those who accept Jesus’s gift of salvation though they die, yet they shall live forevermore. Life is a blip before eternity, it is a lie from Satan to minimize life or trivialize it by calling it a game.

There are two types of men in this world. Those that have sex with dolls and those that don’t. But every one of us will give an account to God of what we did.

It sucks that it is hard to find a good woman these days, and there is no reason to marry if God doesn’t provide a good wife for you. But God did create men and women for the purpose of having families. Imagine a world without both men and women?

When people get down on marriage what they are really down on is the fact that few people do it right. But if we didn’t try to be husbands, wives and fathers and mothers we would have a society worse than communist China. Even in China they understand the importance of marriage and they for the most part deny God.

So don’t get married if God doesn’t call you to, but don’t discourage others from doing what God tells them to do regarding marriage either. By the way Paul, the apostle, was single and glad for it. He felt it made him a better person/witness for Christ. So be glad with what you are (single or married) and be glad for what others are as well.

Rin says

Well, I didn't choose that life. Instead, I'm happy where I am and manage my own affairs without others involved.

TL:DR. Clearly a nerve was touched. Not a surprise based on your relations with fake things. I don't care what you do, but your flaws are not other people's flaws. Just saying. Guys stick their dicks in other guys butt holes, so I suppose it could be worse. Lonely life either way.

Life takes work. Relationships take work. Give up by all means. Not my life. I'm free to judge it though since you're the one pumping it. It's not healthy mentally. Just calling a spade a spade.

Let's see Wookieman, the non-judgemental fella ...

WookieMan says

Yep, the typical gaydar fingerpointing. Nice try. Next time, try calling someone "Hitler"

WookieMan says

Actually, taking the vaccine is other people's flaw, not mine.

WookieMan says

Lonely life either way.

Like I said, if your wife died as a result of the vaccine, you'd be here, balling your eyes out. The lonely person is you because you've never really lived alone and know how to deal with it.

I know this sounds cruel but I wish you an analogous destiny as our turtledove, who also aimed similar accusations towards me, only to find herself murdered a year later (by her beloved husband [who BTW, looks like an ordinary psycho to me]) and according to her, she did everything right in terms of marriage and settling down.

I wonder if Al Bundy would have a sex doll in a married with children reboot? As a reoccurring prop.

Rin says

WookieMan says

At no point did I say you were gay. Never. Again, must have touched a nerve.

Rin says

WookieMan says

My wife took the vaccine. She's alive. Has terrific orgasms. I didn't agree. I didn't take the vaccine. As mentioned relationships take work and compromise. Not sure how to be much clearer. (Edit) Did I forget that my wife has terrific orgasms?

Rin says

I've had more death and in tragic ways in my life than you'd ever understand or have experienced. I'm not upset by your comment. You are a simple minded dude is all. I feel bad for you honestly. I have structure and family that backs me up. You have a doll. Really think about what you post here dude. I'm not trying to hurt you, but like I said, clearly struck a nerve and the response is attack me. Whatever...🙄

Rin says

If anything, that 50% 'still' married has another unhappy 50% living within its bucket.

Minimum. I'd say it's 10-15% of the Married, so 85-90%. Generous, maybe another 10-15% are "Okay". Call it 20-30% of the marriages that survive are alright to good. And men have to do a shitload more to get to that point.

Even good women lose interest in sex and get bitchy in menopause/pre-menopause.

"Sometimes their drive goes up, hyuk hyuk hyuk." Yep, because in some cases their natch production of T is overpowering their ever-dropping E. That means the drive might improve, but that also means more unwanted hair, deeper voice, and other masculinization, ON TOP OF the wrinkles and sagging and aging.

Rin says

Sounds like a lot of needless drama, esp after the age when drama gets old.

And believe it or not but even the 'need for companionship' also gets banal.

"No, I'm tired and I have far better things to do than waste an hour watching Reba reruns. No I don't want to go away on a long weekend just to eat and sit by a hotel pool when I can do that at home with my own comforts just for the sake of going somewhere. You spent how much on a Lazy Susan?"

PeopleUnited says

But God did create men and women for the purpose of having families. Imagine a world without both men and women?

He also provided a map for society, which isn't being followed. It does not include women being in charge, in fact the opposite. Bible is PACKED with warnings about disrupting the balance and contentious women. Better to live on the corner of a roof... a dutiful, pious woman is a treasure (because most aren't)... etc. Paraphrasing from memory of course. No where in the Bible are men to consult women, there's barely a mention of any women in that volumnuous tome, certainly not nagging "advising" men.

A Servant Leader makes the best decision for all, emphasis on LEADER. True Servant Leaders take care of their underlings as they decide is best, they do not kowtow to all their demands. Modern FauxTrads put the emphasis on "Servant". In practice, modern Servant Leader is "Servant to the Wife who is Leader".

You can't outalpha the entire government and society. You can only dodge it.

WookieMan says

Women have:

* Fake Hair
* Fake Nails
* Fake Eyelashes
* Fake Boobs (sometimes it's Silicon, too! Ha!)
* Fake Up
* Fake Filtered Pics
* Fake Lives (only showing the happy shit on Insta/Facebook, big debts to look affulent)
* Fake Communication ("Nothing's Wrong!"... "You didn't ask a 4th time!")

And we talk about "Real"?

"Where's your wife?"

"I told her to go with her girlfriends to the Wine Tasting at the Vineyard. We've got a few hours, Svetlana."



All for much less than one wife on a 5-day cruise - with the inside room.

Thank you AK.

And I want to add one other point. Even if one finds a high quality person, the so-called 'right one', at what point in time does that become someone else's plan vs one's own? I believe that after the age of 35 and just around 40, it starts to look like someone else's idea and not one's own.

At some point in ancient history, guys like us would not be wasting these hours, griping against each other on the internet, instead, we'd be developing new arts and sciences for the betterment of society just like in Pericle's Athens.

You guys have issues and clearly have been burned. Not how much clearer I can be. YOU picked poorly. Keep blaming the chicks when it's your judgement that led you away from the decent AND good looking chicks. Or you didn't bring it for them. It's one or both.

It's not about fucking 100's of chicks. Pick a good one and stick with it. You'll be rewarded. In the meantime I'm not certain why I even put myself in this conversation. I unfortunately believe you guys made bad choices, got on internet forums where dudes blame women for their faults and not know how to find good women.

Thumbs exist. Stop pointing the finger. Not all women are shit. Your choice in women is shit. Let that soak in. It's YOU.

As the great Millennial Spinstership develops, there will be an unholy alliance between the Woke and the FauxTrads to ban dolls (but not dildos, transgender, etc.)

Amazing we live in a world where there are 100k's of gals on OnlyFans, but people are all upset there might be prostitution or dolls. Anything to keep the wealth transfer flowing to the Entitlement Princesses.

WookieMan says

You're more upset than I am. I'm more in this thread to talk about how fun dolls are, and this other stuff is a sidetrack.

Here's my new persepective on things having lived a half-century: As a young guy, I was inordinately worried about getting laid and most especially female approval. That's not a good thing, though the drive to bang is of course natural.

To be a happy, healthy fellow I find is better for men to be interested in skill and the respect from other men for being competent or interesting and that a Femidolizing society is killing the West. Never in history have Western Men had such a huge obsession with making Women happy and judging themselves relative to women's acceptance.

"Happy Wife, Happy Life" is not simply not true. "Good Person, Good Life" is a better metric. That does not mean preening and grovelling before women and their wants all the time. It also doesn't mean you have to be an asshole.

I have had quite a few women - I wouldn't say I'm a Chad but I'm not Steve Erkel either - and time and experience has helped me see the funnel. It never gets as good as the first 6mos to 2 years if your lucky. After that, it's all work, no play, so no thanks. Balance must be restored, and only women can do that.

One of the reasons I suspect for the massive increase in divorce since women were "liberated" and pedistalized by society is that it's natural for women to have 2-5 year cycles where they get impregnated and supported by one guy, then move on to the next. Without firm laws and social control, we're going to have single moms and 50%+ divorce rates till the end of time. Only society can fix this, not men. BUT, in a way it's a blessing, because many old marriages were absolutely horrific for men, having to bear responsibilities to a shrew and have no option to ditch the witch.

For a free country, we spend a lot of time worried how others live. I don't give a damn if somebody has a heroin addiction, wants to dress like a woman, or worship their wife like a Pagan Idol to be appeased lest the Tempest come and wipe away their fields of invested labor. As long as it doesn't bother me.

I found dolls and am happy to share.

AmericanKulak says

I take no issue with dolls. No issue with prostitution. You do you. Not all women are wired like OnlyFan chicks. Not all are greedy. Not all are unfaithful.

I'm sorry you guys may have gotten burned. Not all of us have or will. We made good choices. Didn't poke the first meat curtains we saw and then continued to hunt that type. Choices are made when you're younger. I think you guys made some bad ones is all I'll say. Don't blame the good women of this world that will suck and fuck you for life and take care of themselves AND you.

AmericanKulak says

I'm more in this thread to talk about how fun dolls are, and this other stuff is a sidetrack.

Dude, that's 100% false. It's a mental issue for sure. If not than you're a-okay with trans people using the other sex's restroom? That's the level sex dolls are at. You're mentally disabled if you think putting your dick into a doll is "normal" by any "stretch."

If humping a doll seems normal, you need to see a doctor. It's not. Maybe move into a motel so you don't have to register yourself as a sex offender. Because that's who fucks dolls and kids. It's 100% not normal. I don't care if you do it, but don't fucking push it on people like gays, trans and other fucking freaks. Something failed somewhere in life, it wasn't my comments on pat net.

My wife, and I suspect many others guy's wives as well, have none of those things. At most, some use makeup when they go out, but that is light and really no different than a man shaving to get a "fake face."

50% divorce rate.

Either it was the laws and societal expectations, or men magically got really bad in the 1960s for the first time in world history. I'd say look at the variables that changed first.

And that's not qualifying the large number of the 50% of ongoing marriages that suck ass.

This is the "I have a PhD in one (some) women, you guys only have HS Diplomas in a lot of women." Narrow but Deep vs. Broad but Shallow argument. I'd argue the geologist who has surveyed varied terrain has a better grip on geology than the expert who has only researched at Pennsylvania Shale.

Tom Brady. Sly Stallone. Kevin Costner. And especially Stephen Crowder.

Internet. Technology. You kind of just answered it. Yes, they did get bad. And yes, a lot of women got bad. Partially because of men. Good ones still exist. I'll stand by that. Women are at fault, but you guys seem like the type to blame ALL women. That's simply not fact. It's laziness. You could just ignore the cunts, but it seems like you guys fell into their trap that is easy to spot. Whatever.

I completely agree with wookie and 10#.

I myself have made bad choices and have not been able to build a healthy marriage. On the other hand, my parents are still married and my grandparents were married until death. My parents seem to enjoy each other's company. So did my grandparents.

Rin says

At this point, they lose interest in seeking conventional partnerships and instead turn to sugar babies or escort girls to satisfy their physical needs. In the 2020s, this trend has extended to using sex dolls and AI Chat Boxes, which offer virtualized interactions, making such experiences more affordable and easily accessible.

Physical needs are water, food, heat and shelter from the elements. Whores and blow-up dolls are luxuries, though I myself find both distasteful.

Well, for all you guys trying to outalpha Society, the great Millie Marriage Collapse is here.

Men aren't wifing up the 30-somethings who spent their 20s hoing it up on Tinder with near 100 Body Counts and a list of demands so long they have to put it on spreadsheets.

We're at the point where 33-year old single moms driving dented Kia Sorrentos are whinging they get taken to Cheesecake Factory for a first date, sight unseen, as "beneath" them.

Or the chicks so batshit they've never had an LTR by 35. If they are, they're divorcing in a few years. The predicted post-Covid marriage boom isn't just not coming, the marriage rate is dropping yet further. David's Bridal is going into bankruptcy again.

I hear Styxhexenhammer is going back to the States, and it doesn't sound like his wife is coming with him. Mild fame, certainly enough income from his ad rev and book sales to live at least a very comfortable middle class life, not bad from a guy raised in rural Vermont with no degree.

I remember in the 90s, you could still criticize single moms, in fact it was everywhere. Now in Churches they are defended and "protected" from "Incels and Misogynists".

Tune out and drop out, don't serve a system that hates you and makes you a slave: Final Responsibility without the Power and the Final Say is Slavery. Society is tilting at windmills at the reverse, which hardly exists in the post-modern west.

AmericanKulak says

I hear Styxhexenhammer is going back to the States

Haven't watched his vids in a while, but he is an interesting divvy empath of sorts. Last I heard he was in Amsterdam, following his wife there.

Patrick is hyper rational about Real Estate, Rin is hyper rational about the pitfalls of sex and relationships. Both wind up on a road less travelled outside of the (sometimes biologically) mandated storms of delusional societal emotion that are designed from some communal rather than individual purposes.
You never really 'own' real estate, it is 'owned' at the pleasure of the government. A few missed tax payments, and up it goes on the auction block.

Relationships are some contract of mutual extortion sealed by a brief period of oxytocin delusional hallucination on each other and some sexual pleasure and bonding, usually followed by a variable period of involvement in reproductive narcissism. Alienation after the extortion contracts have passed is common. Society has parasitically attached itself to this with the 'marriage contract', which is a license for lawyers to plunder the marital assets but helps with order in the succession process.

Nobody has a lock on what makes a 'successful' marriage, except it seems to have something to do with staying friends through thick and thin and having the decency to commit to taking care of at least one person also through thick and thin. It is nice to have shared history, too. Nobody knows fuck about you like your marital partner, and even the marital partner only sees what is usually convenient.

AmericanKulak says

Actually you can. Or I should say with God’s help you can do anything.

Look at Jesus. He is the original Alpha male. He had thousands of followers, literally threw the bankers tables while they did business and publicly castigated the religious leaders of His day. He started a movement that continues to this day.

He calls on every Christian to follow in his stead and continue the growth of His kingdom. The reason men are having sex with men and dolls is not so much the fault of women, but the fault/failure of the church/Christians to create disciples and train up men and women to live for God. If men spent less time with sex dolls and whores and more time learning and teaching God’s word, in one generation you’d see things turn around. (Look what happened in one generation when they took bibles out of schools, legalized the genocide of the unborn and put women in the workplace instead of encouraging them to be keepers at home).

Rin says

Let’s be real. Guys like most of us in ancient history would have had to work the majority of our time to serve whichever tyrant was wielding the sword at the moment.

And even those who had time and resources for pursuit of art and science, wasted their time as they gave us a world filled with beautiful things and powerful technology but failed to pass on the wisdom that would create a society where men know how to be men and women know how to be women. It is so basic and yet it is one of the most perverse and corrupt aspects of human activity today. When men don’t know how to be men and women don’t know how to be women, and the church, government and family don’t work together to train and encourage men to be men and women to be women.... we get purple haired cat lady spinsters and men bragging about their sex dolls.

This screenshot comment is somewhat exaggerated:

FB and Meta temporarily ban picture filters after TX AG Paxton lawsuit, hilarity ensues:
https://www.texastribune.org/2022/05/12/texas-face-filters-instagram-facebook-meta/

I don't have it, but there was a study done showing the more women looked at filtered/AI optimized pictures of themselves, the more they came to believe they really looked like the improved image. Men, unsurprisingly, acted like guys, they said "Hyuk, hyuk, I was a hunk back when I was a size 30" and made fun of themselves depreciatingly or went over the top making themselves into the Hulk and laughing about it.

yawaraf says

What and when are girls educated about being good wives? When was the last time you heard of girls being instructed as to what a good wife is?

The last time I recall seeing any mention of women as good wives was probably in the 60s, maybe 70s. Since then it's been about being a Servant-to-the-Wife-Who-Is-Leader. More inverted by Satan natural order.

Don't cooperate with an inverse satanic system.

Also, the NT not only doesn't mention things about having large families, it actually says you should try NOT to marry, but only to marry to prevent ... What, PeopleUnited? What does Paul give for the reason to marry? To have kids? NOPE. To serve God? NOPE. He gives a reason to marry... what is it?

Styx sure left back for the US in a hurry, despite his wife and child, and he seemed pissed but isn't talking. I find it hard to believe he had trouble with the authorities either without mentioning it, or without bringing his wife and child. Certainly not around holiday time.

What is the ONE reason Jesus (and Paul repeats) for divorce?

Paul had special permission from God to give his perspective on marriage. Paul’s perspective is valid and is worthy of strong consideration by every person, both single and married.

But Paul did not issue any new commandments. The fact that God made Adam and Eve, and created the mechanism for male and female children, and the fact that every human life is an essential part of God’s creation, is all evidence that even today in 2023 we still need men, women and children in order for Gods will to be done. God has also made it clear that children should be part of a family unit. Jesus was part of a family unit. Joseph was part of a family unit. Noah had a family. On through the ages God designed the family as a unit to train up children in the way they should go. In that regard the failure of families (divorce, infidelity and single mothers/fornication) and the attack on families by the devil becomes clear. Satan hates families because he knows families are the foundation of proper child rearing. We don’t need to reproduce to populate the earth, but we reproduce anyway because God is not done saving souls for His eternal kingdom. Every child could be a child of God, and that is why Satan hates families and children. The child of God will know life in eternity and Satan knows his life is finite. It must just destroy him to no end knowing that a baby born today might live forever in heaven while he himself has a destiny in the lake of fire.

When people discourage men/women from becoming husbands and wives, they should consider that God created some men and women specifically for that purpose. Perhaps many were created to live single, but if God did not want us to reproduce and form families he would not have written these words:
Genesis 2:18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.... (verse 23) And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

Did No Fault exist in the time of the OT or NT? Could a Hebrew, Greek, Roman, etc. woman decide she was not haaaapy anymore and get half the goats and acerage?

Yep, and is method is female emancipation and divorce 'reform'. Instead of "Mannity Man Uppity Up that 30 body count hoe (often single mom) as a wife", the religious should be working on marriage reform and disciplining women, much more so than men. Restoring the order where the Servant Leader actually is a Leader, and not a Servant to the Wife who is Leader, which is clearly against Biblical Order that has the man in charge of the household.

"But men are the key to society". Yes - IF they have reason to invest and have a reward. Not to risk it all to be used and abused.

God calls all sinners to repentance. Men, and women, and children.

remember Adam sinned because he was NOT deceived. He knew full well that God did not lie. The scripture implies that Eve was deceived, which is why Adam takes the blame for the fall of man even though Eve was the first to eat the forbidden fruit. The fact that you’re laying blame on women more than men is consistent with Adam’s excuse, when he basically said to God “the woman you gave me, made me do it.”

It didn’t fly then and it doesn’t fly now. Men, if they are to be servant leaders, must understand that their responsibility is greater.
