I'll be 61 next month. Had two wives (10 years each) and had to sue both for divorce. I've mostly lived alone for the last 20 years, and have enjoyed the same GF for 17 years. I have my own place and she has hers. Works out great. No drama. We were blessed to be born and grow up prior to the internet age. I had an ideal childhood growing up on the farm. I mostly worry for my two daughters and my grandchildren going forward. I've found peace in my church and gave my second sermon in March. It's my mission to bring as many people back to the Lord as I can, and especially younger folks. It's the best way to build a better nation!

The fact that you keep trying to impress them is the reason they don't like you. I started dating and married my husband because I met him off line (at karaoke) and he was real and genuine with me. We talked for several weeks before he even asked me out. I got to see how he acted around his friends and my friends. I got to see the real him.

Virtue doesn't exist to help the world, it exists to prevent you from destroying yourself. But it's also no virtue to return virtue when your virtue is used as a weapon to force you to live up to a standard which your enemies don't possess. The lack or morality on the part of others doesn't obligate you to treating them morally... though you must pick your battles and for the long run. If I must work with those without virtue, there are ways of boxing them out or keeping them out of your domain -- as long as your domain is sufficiently removed that your silence prevents their machinaitons. When you find other men of real virtue -- and that's as rare as the Bible says it is -- you vet them until they prove themselves when the chips are down... or when they think they're down. When men of virtue and drive find common cause, like as not, they get way further in life than those who act alone. Still, it's impossible to make an old friend. Sometimes it takes years to reveal someone's bad character but you get better at seeing the red flags over time.

@@bumponlog No. It's hookup culture. When men don't need to marry get get segx, it keeps them on the market for the hundreds of XXs who are chasing them. Such men never marry because that's a huge pay cut. Those Chads can go through thousands in a lifetime. Access to such men was once restricted by vvomen who secured that man by holding out for the one who actually loved her. What did this do? It made Chad jaded because now every XX doesn't see any single man as more important than any other -- they think they can hedonistically sport-f**k their fertility away and secure some dupe rich Chad or rich Brad in their late 20s. Young Chads almost always began as loving boyfriends in their youth. It only takes one bad GF to convert a young idealistic Chad into the most rabid f**kboi. Once a guy sees a pattern of treatment that makes him feel disposable, he hardens his heart and returns the favor. And so Chad never commits because the love was beat out of him by his early GFs and he can at least gratify his segxual needs and put his problems on hold while bustin' it down. The XXs who are "ready to settle down" think that Chad is an option -- but Chad's love died a long time ago at the hands of someone just like she used to be -- hopping from bed to bed or the backseat of a car. It's not that Chad wouldn't have loved to find love, but he saw the red pill from the other side and it made him see a reality he can't forget. He knows he's not loved for who he is but for his appearance or status or both. As for all these XXs, the young Chads they betrayed in their youth become the f**kboys who never commit when that same reformed 304 wants to settle. They poisoned the well and don't seem to understand why they can no longer safely drink the water. Some of those young Chads just decide to bow out entirely because they were so disillusioned that they saw no point in pursuing sport-f**king. Either that, or they made the mistake of marrying one of these damaged creatures. The only Chads left on the field, are the f**kboys. Everyone else took the lesson and planned accordingly.

Dudes need to look long term, rent a room, live frugally for a few years and get your money straight if that's what it takes, not for women, for you. Women don't care about losers who complain and give excuses.

[@Moriningland]

So true bro, but so many are not willing to put in the work/sacrafice. I’m a nurse and, through covid, there’s been plentiful overtime with insane pay bonuses. I was able to almost triple my pay by simply being willing to work 60-70hour work weeks. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy, but I was paying off all my debt and now I’m investing over 2000 a month and getting secure. I also decided to continue living with my former spouse since we have such a low mortgage and low interest rate on our home. People look at me cross eyed for that, but I’m only paying 650/mn for my house and I’m banking money. Setting myself up for the future but doing what I need to do now. My spouse, who is a close friend now, complains about money but she drives an expensive car, eats out five times a week and doesn’t want to work extra. You can’t complain if you’re not willing to put in the work

[@clydefrogct9a]

Don’t give up , I’m 5,8 single for 10 years and I don’t have a 4 year college degree. But I work for the railroad and I make 76k + ( if i decide to do overtime) I’m by no way bragging by any means I just want you to know there’s losers like me who are getting by . Look into the transportation industries. I will also give you a warning that the state I live in $75k isn’t a lot but it’s something. Take care bud !

[@TashaCreatesStuff]

by British standards thats a good salary plus thats a common height for a man here.

[@Joyeusecolombe]

Men have to stop listening to those stupid standards, they're not real. You can still find your girl. Don't look for her but believe she is out there and you will cross paths unexpectedly. Society standards don't matter, you need only one girl that is right for you. I mean you also need to be a good hearted decent human who values his own integrity and those of others including women, but i trust that you are already that

[@mikefleek9259]

I am 66, my son 26, he lives with 3 buddies because of the rents. Out of the 6 young staight men, only 1 dates. The rest invest, work, enjoy the peace.No grandkids, but I don't balme them. Stress and female drama causes alot of pain, drinking and death.

[@squaresided]

30+ years of being the good ol' church guy just to see sad married men and harlots mostly. Sure there's good moments but it's not worth that life, the constant sacrifice. Soon as I "gave up" on the game and started playing my own I really do love my life and can die happy here on out. It's all bonus come what may for me.

[@MarieNorth-bk1fu]

[@Wolffur]

We're not giving up on everything. But we are giving up on the lies that we've been fed all of our lives. Rest assured, we're going to remotivate to do other things.

[@TheJereld]

I realized I can't and never had it in me to play the "back stabbing" game in thw work world. I've always been a confrontational guy, if we have a problem, we'll handle it. I couldn't last in a system where part of your job is to make sure no one takes yours. Even if you get people fired. Even by the closest person you know. Option #3 is where I am at. After the corporate world was a disaster I returned to option #3 with more vigor. It's all I had and I am glad in retrospect I got fired because I would have had to become back stabbing and butt kissing to adapt. For better or for worse, that will never be me. So you're right. Either play the game. Or start your own. Subbed.

[@Frank-pc2rs]

Same problem here man. I could never accept some boss telling me what to do in a condescending way or some customer yelling in my face. We'd have words immediately and obviously I'd be fired. I just don't fit in, I was born in the wrong era.

[@RUSTY-A-L]

In the Law of the Jungle morality and civility are seen as a weakness not a virtue.

[@doncartier6796]

I disagree with that. I actually find the jungle to be more civilized in comparison to human society. What we say about the animals is really our projections of ourselves. There’s nothing more uncivilized than a human being. A tiger is uncivilized, it’s supposed to be a predator. Humans, we pride ourselves on being more than our base desires. How’s that going for us these days? And we have the conceit to call the jungle uncivilized, I find nothing more insulting than to call humanity a higher species.

[@RUSTY-A-L]

@@doncartier6796 I understand where your coming from but there are also examples of human selflessness toward each other and other species. Unfortunately it is the exception and not the rule, thanks for the reply.

[@CHRISMED2]

I've worked in the medical field the last 22 years working predominantly with women. This man is absolutely right about how the game is played. It's been really hard as a man having to navigate in my job all these years. Ive never been into playing games, so I've learned to focus on work & clock in clock out and the last 10 yrs I've decided no small talk and no friends at work either. People like me or not, I do not care one bit

[@AImpatientMan]

I gave up after trying too hard. Dated 4 years, got engaged, got a house, got a full time job and did doordash after work, picked up her scitzophrenic dad 9 hours away(drove 18 hours that day cuz had work tmrw) after he had a episode and went missing for 3 weeks, worked at her family daycare for a year. None of that mattered in the end, she just asked for a break or breakup one day despite months of no problems and I didn't budge. Stole the house too. Was such a disappointment to do all that than just have it snap out of no where.

[@oldschoolliferhere]

Been ther done that for so many and for many many years and well I'm back single again. At almost 60 3 wives later I'm done!!! All that work and goodness for what?? What a slap in the face!!

[@anthonychrismignella]

Totally agree with this dude. Well said man. Especially the ending. You’re very right.

[@pontussvensson7497]

I listen to every word man. It feels good to not be alone! Even if l can play the game too sometimes, l'm just tired of the fake bullshit. Someone said in the comments he was more happy when he was alone, than he was in his marriage. I think we can all learn from that. All shit we hear and see on internet this days too, it's easy to get confuse. Dont hurry and stress about all things. Work on yourself and try to be happy in you're own skin, and maybe sometimes think 3 times before you do something, cause as much as we live in a beautiful world it can also be fuckt up and make life hell. Stay strong guys and enjoy the ride!
