Great topic Mark. Not only do you not have anything in common with her family or friends, those same people have no interest in having anything in common with us. As long as the wife is providing for them, they will not extend themselves at all to try and converse. I stopped trying to, im tired of others coming into my house and not having the decency to at least give me a greeting. It happens every time. Where ever I out, i always acknowledge the people around me. I guess this issue is cultural I’m told? I hate it
Bachelor life is be$t, especially 50+. You’ve created your own suffering, as every fool who gets married does …
The issue might be that either you met the wrong woman/family, or you didn't spend enough time with them. I have found that Filipinos are not only friendly and warm, but also shy. You need to spend time with them and then slowly both sides get to know each other and feel more comfortable.
@@ma3stro681 the bachelors life maybe great for some, but wait until you get older and your health declines. Your in a foreign country, who’s going to take care of you or care for you when you need it? You like being alone, good for you. This is not the place to be alone.
@@philipcooper3330 alternatively your home-grown wife might bugger off with most of your resources and leave you alone anyway. Always a gamble.
@@squidandchips sure, anything is possible I guess
A wise man learns from his own mistakes but a wiser man learns from the mistakes of others.
I always heard a smart man learns from his mistakes, but a wise man learns from the mistakes of others.
A wise woman looks after herself and avoids men and especially will never become a single (aka poor) mother.
You have skills bro. 🧐
@@MichaelBrown-zp1sf Yup. Seen too many good guys get ruined by women via divorce. I decided to learn from them and stay away from marriage. I Have had many beautiful girlfriends throughout my life and only good memories with them. No need to buy when you can lease and release when the headache starts
@@OceanFrontVilla3 I too wish more women would leave men alone and stay out of men's spaces.
58, was married 15 years to a woman who never worked, and I made her dream of becoming an RN come true by putting her through nursing school. She met a doctor… left me three days after she got her RN degree, and took me to the cleaners in divorce courts. that was 14 years ago. I am now financially comfortable after a lot of hard work and I will never never never never never get married again. I date, but I am honest that marriage is off the table …as well as cohabitation. Life is good.
omg, heard this story many times
Yep, been there and it took years to financially recover. The stress was like nothing I've ever experienced. The weight literally fell off me.
Sounds like my story....never again will I fall for a lie called LOVE
@tomfilippone6303 sounds almost carbon copy of what happened to me last year, 50k in debt for her RN degree and took off
Education is expensive.
Dogs, really and truly, are a man's best friend.

HATE TATTOOS ON WOMEN
I think a lot have them knowing that and do it for devilment. Jezebels.
So do I!!!!! They're such a TURN OFF!! they only don't because she has them and well I need to have to also. All woman are just CTAZY!!!!
Ohh and don't you live rhe new tread with the nose hook earing thigs that looks like what they would put in a cow??
Ditto, tattoos and smoking. Would never date or hopefully come close to a woman who smokes. What a turnoff. Like kissing an ashtray.
The more Tattoos on a chick , represent the extent she hates herself… which she will bring to your relationship to share and make you crazy…
Look around now days and think about that…
I can’t stand liberal feminist types. Would never date one even if she was a 10 out of 10 physically.
From personal experience: If your wife starts hanging around with her single friends, your marriage is already over.
Yeah huge red flag there!
Or her fat sexless friends. Same thing
Or if they start volunteering around the church, like head Sunday School teacher, and have an affair with the married head pastor. It doesn't matter who they "hang around with", they will cheat with whoever they want and still expect to be "good" because it was with a married pastor. All of them cannot be trusted.
Wow that's a story dude I'm sorry.
they don't even need to be single. they all judge other girl's men, and there it goes.
Married folks often ask me why i am not married. I say to them; you're married, right? Then you should understand why i am not.
I tell them I don't want their life. In private they would not marry that spouse again they so glorify.
AMEN @@eileenwatt8283
The best reply to such a question. Lovely humor.
Ha,ha,ha,ha!
Just bring up the topic of the high divorce rates ,and the mess of high population and devastation on the planet ,and that shuts the self righteous fools up very quick.
I’m 71 and I’ve been married 32 years to a good woman who loves me and treats me well. We have two adult sons we are close to and proud of. We have our problems but we work them out. Listening to this reminds me how lucky I am.
Ditto for my situation in AUS
You came from the only good era in the century.
Nice to hear. Only been married 14 years 2 kids .My parents have both been married and divorced like 3 times. Seems everyone else too. They are so bitter and resentful. So depressing.
My wife died for no reason, just died. Probably all those stab wounds had something to do with it. If I ever get out of prison I’ll invest in a brush chipper.
@@unacceptablesheepdog7678 Just wait
I'm 75. I've been divorced for 20 years. My ex walked out and left me to raise the kids. They're grown now and living their own lives. I sold my business and retired to France 7 years ago. I participate in many social activities here like hiking, wine tastings, food fairs, museum tours, expat dinner parties at different restaurants, and I meet friends for drinks at sports bars to watch soccer or rugby. I play golf, go sailing, and travel around Europe. I'm very content living alone; it's quiet, peaceful, and I can do whatever I want, when I want to do it. Life without a woman is heaven; no honey-do lists, no drama, no crazy mood swings, and no spending sprees on worthless crap like 200 pair of shoes.
41 here. I've thought about retiring in France someday. Did you emigrate from the US? Was it difficult?

You’re my hero. Congratulations!
I am a 71 year old female. My husband past 7 years ago , I miss him terribly. Tried dating a few years ago ,but truthfully I think most seniors now days are just happy with being by their self’s. I know I am , I do feel sorry for some of the men I have met who worked their whole life’s and lost most everything from divorce‘s . Have see The same thing happen to some women too , But seems to be more men. The dating world today is just weird to me . I would rather stay home with my fur baby and watch a good movie
take care of urself 😊
Have a good social network, and routine, plus fur babies you’ll be fine
Sooooo true,I feel same way as you do😊
Ditto
LOL, that's exactly what I'm doing right now. Living alone and watching a movie with my two fur baby dogs. Life is GREAT and yes, dating is just too weird now. I have complete peace with just my fur babies. No drama!
As a lifelong bachelor, I dont know how married men deal with all the nagging, emasculation and emotion based thinking.
Drinking and cheating......
The natural instinct to care for and reproduce is very strong. I now recommend shack up, never "sign ze paper!" a lifetime of women difficult, 3 yrs without Bliss.
They convey that they are fulfilled with their soul mate and best friend.Most are in daily desperation mode.Walking on egg shells and trying to read her mind are debilitating.
I'll explain it to you... You have no choice. You become subjugated. You become both a labor and wage slave. When you try to escape, there is the women's court system, just waiting to fleece you and turn you into her indentured servant. Sounds lovely.
@@stormchaser419 I dealt with it there was so much more to marriage than “nagging, emasculation and emotional based thinking.” My wife died after 33 years of marriage. I was privileged enough to serve as her home hospice caregiver. That experience was not emasculating. It made me a much better man.
A friend once told me “Why get married and ruin a good relationship?”
Love it
Marriage is not a word , it’s a sentence
I told the guys at work in 1995 I was getting married. They thought I was crazy. My supervisor told me to forget it and buy a Corvette instead you will be glad you did. But I did not listen. Looking back, I should have bought a Corvette. 😊
@@GaryH-pw9cm same lol
Tom Arnold said this about him and Roseanne. That they ruined a great friendship by getting married.
@@GaryH-pw9cm I have to disagree with you, Gary. Personally I would have bought a Lamborghini! LOL! But otherwise, spot on.

68 here and I can only tell you great minds think alike.Single,debt free and loaded.

I’ve been divorced and living by myself for 16 years. I love it. I’ll never live with another female. I value my freedom. I value my money.
Women are the most ones in the highest credit card debt. They cannot understand the consequences of their actions. Men. Never date any woman that has debt. It's a red flag that she is a train wreck.
Been divorced 20 years and quite happy.
Divorced 17 years and very happy. The peace and quiet is priceless.
Same here. Divorced 30 years. Made a pact with myself to date a woman for 2 to 3 years before considering marriage. Every woman I dated since divorce didn't make the cut. Single, retired and doing just fine. Bought a pair of Oculus VR Goggles and have had amazing, fun, immersive virtual encounters with a myriad of hot women (of my choice). Highly recommend if one still has strong sex drive.

38 years is a long time. Maybe you were mean, or abusive!
@@da5449she probably decided she could do better
@@da5449 She probably started hanging with her single girlfriends who clued her in on just how bad she had it as a married woman. With any luck, she hasn't inflicted herself on another man.
My brother was married to his wife for 27 yrs. They were separated and were looking to divorce. My sis n law was going to get the house, some of his pension, the better car and other expenses. Long story short, she died suddenly from a heart attack. He moved back in the house and swears he’ll never marry again.
How did he "organise" the heart attack??
Karma.

Excellent and very well addressed and encouraging. My wife of 54 years died in my arms on mother's day and devastated me. I struggle through loneliness every evening and can't imagine having anyone else taking her place - even dating let alone cohabitating. I'm 73 with no debts in my own home. Life is very good but its that lonely winter evening I'm not looking forward to. However your comments encouraged me greatly ~ Thanks!
I can relate. My wife died in January, after 42 years of a great marriage.. Loved her so very much and still cry at night, Being alone takes time to adjust to, but I'm there.
You are lucky you had a good marriage. I lived in NYC all my life with 33% of gay men, beautiful modals and actress, large amount of immigrants looking for citizenship, addicts, abusers, and men that are lazy. I realized I was going to be alone for the rest of my life. I was born in the wrong place at the wrong time. Where all the normal good men????

Hi Mark. I totally agree with you about tattoos it's a automatic turn off when I see a tattoo on a woman. Not cool in my mind tattoos on women it's a turn off.
@@vm6418 jimmy buffet said that Tatoos are a permanent expression of a temporary state of mind…
That’s what chick always do…they live in the moment..
Bless you jimmy.. sail on wherever your at pal..
It's an indication of damage. Not just the damage on her skin, but it's a sign of emotional damage and probably previous promiscuity. How many of women in pr0n and OF have tatts? Probably 99%. Just say no to tatts!
@jimhanty8149 this, permanent reminder of a temporary emotion is what we used to call trauma
I'm not sure why my comment got deleted. That's happening a lot these days. But tatts on a women are a sign of emotional damage and promiscuity.
I love the term, "Have you ever seen bumper stickers on a Ferrari?"
I’m now 53 years old- when I turned 50, I retired from my first career and my wife of 20 years, divorced me. Said she no longer wanted to be a wife or a mother. We split the home and our 2 sons came with me.
Now my sons are 19 and 17, they have only seen their mother once over the past 2 years.
I will never, ever marry again. I can’t imagine trying to bring some nut job into my life and my son’s life. It isn’t fair to any of us.
There are lots of fish in the sea. Catch and release only to stay sane. It cost a hell of a lot less than keeping a wife.
Exactly same story as yours but I have Daughters same age as your kids. My ex didn't want to be a mother or a wife anymore and just left to lived thousands of miles away... to make a long story short she did called back eventually to let her back in and thanks GOD I was in the position to say NO. I never been the same man again after my divorce, I no longer have any interest in dating at all and it's been like this for like a decade now. I just lost interest in women at least here in the USA. I just keep working on my retirement goals to eventually scape from USA for greener better pastures elsewhere.
@@Itwasme007 So what do you do for sex?
62 Years old and single. It removes a lot of drama, cost, stress and arguments. I also get to make my own decisions without asking for permission. I also date when I want company. My money is mine. Marriage is grand, divorce is several hundred grand.
The NO-FAULT divorce law in the U.S is the problem. If there is PROVEN domestic violence, alcohol and/or drug addiction, infidelity, unwillingness to work, etc. I can see a cause for a divorce. All it takes is for a woman to say that she in no longer happy and no matter how good a man is, she can file for divorce. The man will lose everything if he was the breadwinner (working two jobs and busting hiss ass off for his family), and she will walk off with hundreds of thousands of dollars and live the high life, meanwhile the man will have to start from scratch at 50 years old. The courts don't care if the man ends up homeless or dead. NEVER AGAIN!!!
Yup. This is why men won't get married. Too much to lose.
I can see the value of no fault divorce but the benefits to the woman should be restricted so there is less incentive for her to do this.
@@macmcleod1188 If a woman want's a "no fault" divorce then she should lose all child custody, alimony and only the assets she came into the marriage with. All marital assets should stay with the person that was willing to stay...
@@JacksonDiddles nah . That's too far the other direction. We got here because abusive husbands were beating wives and many husbands were getting custody of the children in divorces.
I'm looking for a return to something more fair. Not a reverse into the unfair circumstances that existed in the 1870s to the 1930s.
So should she be kept prisoner?
But can you see the courts are a big part of the problem and it was done deliberately.
I often see decent men dragging around fat disrespectful anchors and I just gasp.
$imping ain’t easy … 😂🤡😵
@@ma3stro681that's not simping. that's some married guy who is resolved himself to the it's cheaper to keep her mentality.
@@CaliforniatoWestAfrica... and sadly, its probably true in many cases... 😢
@@ma3stro681 These women were probably fit, attractive and nice to be around before the marriage. But after the ring....
I used to be one of them. Mine started out with an 18-inch waist. 20 years later she ballooned into a land whale. Then one day I came to my senses. I lawyered-up, moved out, filed for divorce, and never looked back. In only 10 months I settled the divorce out of court. Paid to free myself and it was worth every penny. I just wish I’d done it 20 years sooner.
I dropped dating and relationships in 2013. This 70yo is not going back to the plantation. I'm happy alone, not lonely. I don't have a dog, but I do live in a beautiful place surrounded by woods and nature.
Women don't get that men love solitude, peace and quiet. We don't want drama, drama, drama.
I get that men like peace & quiet & solitude. That's why so many like fishing...lolol.😅😅😅
Neither do women funnily enough
Some people don’t get that ALL truly DECENT and CONSCIENTIOUS people (male and female) do not like drama, hence the throwing of shade and revealing their bitterness, cynicism and apparent resentment towards people (and in the OP’s case, the women) they’ve never met. May they come to know peace and real contentment soon, which is much easier attained by seeing things as they are. Facing reality is so liberating, it puts things into proper perspective. Understanding = peace.
The irony.. after spending 27 years of my life wanting to be happy trying to make my wife happy, I found happiness alone . 10 years divorced , life is good 👍
👍
Ditto 10 years this month
Have not met her... I am nearly 57. I just don't have much time to look. They are out there. Don't need heavy baggage from a new partner. I need a good friend first.
your comment hit home. never married, but we were together 29 years. she was manic depressive and i spent the time on the roller coaster and the egg shells. always working to
making her happy, and ''not upset her''. died in her sleep 6 years ago. never been calmer, never been happier. can't imagine EVER living with someone again...
@@john-o1g9p Hi there , glad you are doing well , to be honest, all this yada yada about : in order to be happy , you must have a wife / partner and all this shit is absolutely bollocks … I wish , someone had told me to work on myself, get a grip of my life, carrer and then, find someone … also, I came to the realization that we ( men ) can’t make any woman happy .. it is simply not possible because we are not responsible for their happiness … took me half a life time to learn this.. all the best man. Have a great day
My situation: VERY happily married for 48 years. Watched my wife die from cancer. I will never again watch someone I love die. I love my independence, and I can't imagine trying to grow a new relationship at my age. I have tons of friends - and a dog. I'm alone, but not lonely. Well said.
A Classy gentleman…
lucky wife
I can totally relate to you.i enjoyed being married, now I'm enjoying being single
Bless you and your wife's heart. Im happy you got to experience a real loving marriage. Its truly rare and you are blessed.
mate im in the same boat as you. watched my wife of 30yrs die in agonising pain with cancer. I will never find anyone like that again. So me and the dog are going to buy a boat and spend my days cruising the East Coast of Australia, playing my guitar & enjoying my last few years..
Sorry for your loss 🙏
Married 20 years to the love of my life. She passed away 12 years ago and is irreplaceable. I've been single (no dating) ever since. 61, not lonely, enjoying a relaxed, drama-free life on my own terms. No desire to ever change that.

I’m glad to see a channel by and for men. I despise the treatment of men in general. I have a husband, a father, 6 brothers, sons in law, grandsons, nephews, and some good male friends and I do NOT hate any of them, I adore them. And I’m a woman. If women were treated 1/2 as badly as certain men, they’d be screaming in the streets. They get away with attacking them in any matter. So, really glad to see this. Most LEOs are men, and so are firefighters, soldiers, and the people who protect this failing country. They deserve SO much better. I apologize on behalf of the hateful women who should get down on their knees and thank God for our men, AND boys, for all they’ve DONE and continue to do in spite of the horrendous treatment they receive.

My wife lost the battle with cancer, i miss her still, but i dont miss the constant Drama. Nagging, complaining, never satified or happy. Always had to be a control freak.
My peace and tranquility is my reward for tolerating it for so long.
60, retired, not rich but good enough. I can wake up at 2:00 am and take off for the beach anytime I want. Been single 24 years, most likely stay that way. Not even a super model worth the drama. No thanks.

Every time a young woman says, "I just got married", I ask her, "When's the divorce?"
You have to realize the divorce is planned before the marriage. Plan accordingly.
Wow, that's even more cynical than me.
Age 66, marriage was TOO MUCH for me to cope with, I simply can't handle the 24/7 stress of cohabitation, and I admit that I don't need the stress of tiptoeing around the drama inherent in trying to appease any woman.
You sound like an introvert. I bet a male roommate would drive you up a wall too. No disparagement, I'm an introvert (can only take people in small doses) too. I find myself being a live-in caregiver for an elderly parent, after almost 2 decades living alone... which is my version of a living hell. My parent isn't bad, I just have no alone-time to decompress.

I was married to my husband for 21 years and now have been widowed for 12 years, I fully agree with this video. These talking points are alot of the same reasons why I chose to stay single. It goes both ways.

Imitation is the highest form of flattery. Thank you for watching ☺️
My Idea of dating at an older age is having a cup of coffee and a conversation. Not sharing my money with a second partner nor do I want his money.
Why no sex?
My grandfather a WW2 veteran once told me, Stay single and your pockets will always jingle!!
Marriage is just stressful with these modern day women. Years ago everyone wanted to get married . Now it’s only the women. Peace .
Men take care of them, and they take care of themselves.
That’s because they want 2 things: (1) A slave. (2) All of the slave’s income and possessions.
Marriage is not a thing that works in this day and age. People are selfish and everything is disposable now. Women are too independent now for that institution.
My question is, why aren't ALL men staying single?!
The choice for "most" men (Myself included), is either loneliness of misery. At 61, and after a recent Annulment, I think I'm ready to give Loneliness a ride. lol

Doesn't anybody remember Married with Children? "Dodge is a damn fine car...ran over my wife, with a dodge!"😂
older you are the less likely you will find a solid compatible partner, you are now dealing with second or third tier prospects -- after 40 if you're single, stay there, don't ruin a good thing
Second & third tiers. 😂so true. That’s like the B team or B actors. These hags hit theirs walls. Men don’t.
you should specify gender in your comment....after men get divorce-raped after a certain age, they are happy being alone....but when women get to a certain age, if they are still single, they start looking for their 'retirement plan', which is usually a man.
Whatever floats your boat, being single, or married. Life is short.
problem is sinking boats not floating on a sunny day, no wind and life jackets
I need to give a big round of thanks to all the older men sharing their stories to the younger generation.
As you can see with so many stories, you have a clear pattern that does not end well for men.
God bless everyone, stay safe,be patient in life and be proud of who you're. Don't change yourself for women.
You're the prize 🙏
The struggle IS real and we’re not all crazy. This much combined shared experience is a testament to the truth.
mgtow is freedom and the juice is not worth the squeeze! older men have taught younger men the meaning and philosophy of mgtow and the red pill!
I'm 71, don't wanna mess with it. Don't need HER medical problems, will have my own.
Same. I'm a very healthy, active and independent woman so I will never live with let alone marry a guy who expects a nurse and a housekeeper.
Get your education ladies, nurture your career, not a husband and children, that's a losing proposition.
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Agree. I have elderly parents to care for, I don't need a grown-azz man acting like I'm his mommy on top of that.
Exactly. My parents have passed, I'm retired and in great health plus financially independent. I enjoy, friends, travel, gardening, dining out, hiking etc etc. Don't need a man child to clean up after.
today in divorce court, you might face a female judge, a female lawyer reps. your spouse, etc. the deck in court is stacked against you
And the county child support department is full of hostile women.
I had a female judge and a female lawyer and 100% won against my cheating wife in divorce court.😅

Challenges in relationships are a normal part of life, but there’s always a path forward. My marriage encountered major difficulties, but with proper guidance, my wife and I managed to resolve our issues and deepen our connection. If you’re willing to put in the work and collaborate, solutions are always within reach. Keep hope alive; there are answers out there.!!!
I’m facing serious problems in my relationship and can’t stand the thought of losing her. I love and miss my partner greatly and am willing to do whatever it takes to have her back. Any advice or guidance you can provide would be deeply appreciated.
Saying goodbye to someone you cherish is consistently difficult, yet in my case, I received support from a spiritual advisor who kept my marriage intact. Her name is Suzanne Ann Walters.
I'll promptly look her up online. Thank you. I'm optimistic that following this path will bring about positive outcomes for me too; I long for her deeply.
You should... I promise you will not regret it

Mgtow is the way to go! It’s not a dislike of women , it’s about taking care of yourself financially, physically and mentally. It’s not worth it, get yourself a dog and find true loyalty and love.
I need a dog
Correct about dogs. All dogs go to heaven.
Like a woman 🤦🏽♂️
... or a cat!
Well put 👏
If guys had a bad marriage(s), ungrateful kids, worked like a dog most of his life, being single means independence and freedom. All the best to you, Jen, and Rogan.
Agree with you and you live with no restrictions
A men to that 27 years carrying kids all I get is contempt fuck it all I'm done
My mom said the same thing. Too vulnerable to divorce, five kids, alcoholic and ungrateful, and early on was abusive husband (loved my dad but a horrible husband). She widowed at 58 and began living her life. She could have remarried three times but no way. She lived modestly and loved her independence. RIP Mom.
Great video
I’m 72 and this is spot on!
Nice work!!!
That's a red flag! If a woman says she won't marry you if she has to sign a prenup. Gentlemen... run!
True, but in liberal California, in divorce court, the judge has been given the discretion to overturn ANY pre-nuptial agreement if he/she feels it is weighted against her! Hmm
Really? A pre-nuptial agreement is a “legally binding contract!” On what planet is it fair that it can be overturned??????😢
Gold digger
@@CunoWiederhold a judge will O-N-L-Y overturn a pre-nup if it benefits the woman to do so.....a judge will N-E-V-E-R overturn a pre-nup if it benefits a man.

Married twice because I'm a slow learner. I'm currently 68 and living a great life of peace and satisfaction. Broke but travelling overseas when I want. I have my motorcycle and dancing for my thrills. When the itch arises I now rent rather than go higher purchase. Life is good...
Women change thru out their lives . they become totally different at 40 than at 20 . Men pretty much stay the same thru their lives
That's an interesting point. However we men change too. I'm a different person than I was at 20 30 and 40
🙂 sure, i have four ex wives, they all changed, i saw them all grow up, again and again i went thru the process, i changed as well tho, i wouldnt have married any of them if i could do it all over again, f that
this is very true, and it's related to female hormonal changes due to aging
My political views have completely changed in my late 50s …
men are not told about this, it's a real problem affecting marriages
I'm 35 but it is interesting listening to you and other 60+ men. I'm not 100% ready to quit dating but I haven't seen a offer worth the risk recently. Currently work a remote job, own two homes, and working on a third abroad, but going to do some traveling first. Life is good with just me and my dog.
Stay single bro unless you marry your equal or a woman who is rich!
Smart guy stay sane life is short 😊
I am 73 and completely understand why many older men are staying single. Wonderful women who are kind, rational, honest, loving, responsible, loyal, and who possess a good sense of humour are hard to find. I should know! I was surrounded by controlling, nagging, married women throughout my career. I felt so sorry for their husbands let me tell you. These shrews were pretty much joyless. I've been living alone for about 30 years now and my freedom is everything to me. And I did not turn into a crazy cat lady or live with six dogs. Being a stoic and a sigma female has served me extremely well thus far in life.
Because you can pour your heart and soul into a woman for years. But she will not be loyal. You want true love and loyalty and someone who will be with you until the day you die, get a dog.
Australian magpies make incredibly loyal pets. I have one that watches me work while the shed door 🚪 is open. It does cute tricks like hop on my knee when I’m sitting down. Best of all it flies off home to its own tree 🌳 latter on. No licence fees, too.
Women are incapable of being loyal.
Dog as very loyal and don't judge you like a human in this case woman. I know I love dogs they always love to do what I love going for walks I get to met other dog walkers out there for casual chats.. and some times issues like this come up so nice to have a discussion about the gold diggers users and predators looking for a decent person to destroy.
Dogs only live ten or so years, probably won't be there when you die, just suck it up and be alone, a dog is a crutch
I am 64, married twice, divorced twice, made the decision to not only won’t get married again, but I won’t date again, I enjoy my peace and freedom, and if I miss women’s company, I only need to view some ticktocks of women being women, and I loose any desire to engage one. This morning, I had a chat with AI worrying about being alone later in life and exploring Long term care cost, the AI actually recommended that by the time I need LTC, robots will be widely available and reasonably priced for me to have 24/7 care that most likely to be cheaper and better than in home care service. That was reassuring and enforced my plan to stay single for ever.
All we need is sex bots and then we've had it made
I’m 54. I’m on your course and not worried about it at all!
Q: What do you call a man who marries twice?
A: A slow learner.
(I'm speaking from experience )
@@whenpigsfly3271 same. But I’m cured now. Finally.
I wouldn’t assume the future scenario depicted by AI. On the other hand, cannot really depend on wife and kids either.
I was trapped in a very abusive marriage with a narcistic psycopath fr 18 years. She was involved in a very serious car accident with a TBI, which added to her control . People saw a different person outside then in private. I had been stabbed, kicked bitten & punched. I finaly got away 10 years ago with the help of law enfrocement. In these 10 years I have dated once for 6 months but decide to stay active alone. I have 12 grandkids to keep me busy! I'm 76 now
I recently dated a woman like this. She is 55 and I am 59.
What a psychopath indeed.
How did you last 18 years? I lasted until she kicked my ass.
Getting older and looking for a woman to fall in love with is a joke. At best, you will find a woman who is not miserable.
Who wants an old woman to look at and pay bills for. Marriage for a senior is an act of desperation.
He'll yeah. I agree 👍
Wow, what about love?
@@bonniegreatorex72 rent a movie?

After 50 years of keeping my word I couldn't stay in a one sided relationship.
So I retired from that.
Still waiting for the settlement to finish but planned to get the short end of the stick.
I will just adjust to having nothing but what I got in my suitcase.
Guys .. it's really a gamble to be in a relationship.

As a woman I agree...I love my space to come and go when I please...I enjoy life, I'm an artist so that gives me purpose to stay engaged with the world outside. I have few friends but solid ones. I love to travel, and enjoy the cultural arts. I have my 2 cats that give me that unconditional love...so at 72 years, retired this is a contented state of life.

Why won't I remarry? The squeeze isn't worth the juice
Divorced 2x, still single 35 yrs later. My filters got heavy after that. Can't find a good one. I travel also. Now 68 retired. Ready for dollar crash/ reset.
WOW!! THANKS FOR ALL OF THIS "COMMON SENSE" TALK!!!!! ["SHARED"]
I've been a widow for 25 yrs. I loved my hubby very much but I love living alone now. My kitchen 2nds as an art/craft studio and nobody complains! I watch what I want. Lots of friends in a local garden club and other activities. 2 dogs. Country living that's paid for. I can be friends with some friend's husbands because they know the men won't be after me at my age... :)
My Dad said he would never remarry because my mom got half, and he wasn't going to give another woman a chance to get the other half.
I was married for 12 years and divorced (she cheated on me). I sweared I would never marry again, but I met this beautiful lady and I did. My friends told me I made the same mistake twice, but I've been married to this lady for 20 years now and happy to be.
ben hart did the same thing... but he married a laotian woman with a strong work ethic who made it through hell to get to the usa and remained 100% appreciative of attaining her freedom and never accepted feminism.
I don't know if 46 years old is old, but I've been single for six years, and I prefer it at this point in my life. Been divorced, had multiple bad relationships. It's far easier with some pets, some friends, and doing things I like to do when I want, without restrictions. Don't really want to lose half of my stuff ever again and starting over again. Already did that twice. No need to try it again.
'Peace' is the magic word here. I don't want the expense, stress and drama any more.
100%

As far as worried about an emergency when you live alone - there are smartwatches that will automatically detect falls and call for help. My kids insisted that I get one.
The loneliest I ever was had to be when I was married. My ex was jealous of any interaction with anyone - male or especially female. A neighbor who was a runner and 20 years younger even caused her to complain about her "tempting" me. WTF.
absolutely love your channel, subscribed!!! divorced, lost half..10 years passed, got remarried with a pre-nup but looks like this one is ending too. I just want to be on my own at this point, 62..just want to enjoy the remaining years.
The greatest blessing of my life has been my 29 year marriage. No matter what the future holds I’m thankful to my creator for this.
For 18 years of married life I was just as thankful and very happy. The 19th year was hell. The greatest blessing from my marriage is that two of my three children love me and care for me. I've been married since I was 21 and I have had my turn. I must say I enjoy being single much more now. God is good. ALL the time.
Classy Gentleman…Lucky wife
This is so helpful ! Thank you from UK.
I had kids at 20, 1 is dead, from war, the other barely speaks to me from divorce and his mom hating cuz I left her. So I'll never go thru that again.
Also at 54, sex isn't that important to me anymore. Had plenty and enough lovers to be content. Once you take sex out of the equation, having a woman around is a pain in the ass, and more expensive

As a younger guy I’m jealous of all you old men you guys had the largest percentage of good women. Ever since social media came for us younger dudes it’s been over since the 2010s. Theres no such thing as real “love” in this day and age it’s all financial and if the woman feels she can cash out on you she will divorce you in the USA. This is why men go overseas to Asia and South America and just deal with a variety of women and just find a woman to settle down with and not get the government marriage contract involved.
Social media ruined society, just wrecked it completely
Actually, it's not social media that's wrecked society... it's the internet.
Some of them would prefer not to give away half of their possessions to someone who makes them miserable.
Idk if I'm an older man but I'm in my 30s and choosing to stay single. About 40% of women I've met through only dating are cheaters or lying about intimate partners they continue to have. About 50% of women I've met in person are also partnered and looking to cheat/escape their relationship. And then plenty are just milking you of your money/status and the ones who seem great care too much about your status or money. I live in one of the biggest cities in the world and that's my reality so I just stopped.
Smart guy 😊 stay happy
Mark, here in Japan. When you marry to Japanese lady. You don’t marry to her family. Unlike in the Philippines you marry to a Filipina and her family. If I had to remarry it will be other Japanese lady.
How do you meet a Japanese woman if you are on vacation?
I knew a couple, one divorced and the other widowed who kept their own places and live separately but have been “together” for 15 years.
They may even sleep over at each others place occasionally but only see other 2 or 3 times a week.
They have a great relationship.
That's PERFECT! Easy peasy! Get your cake and eat it too!
Many men who accumulate significant wealth consider it extremely risky to enter into a relationship that, due to our legal system, exposes them to extraordinary financial risk.

Im 55, divorced for 8 years now. I lost everything in my divorce, including my realtionship with my sons, for the most part. I have rebuilt my life pretty well, so far. I find that dating women who are around my are not worth the effort. Most are miserable, drink too much, and are on head meds. No, thank you.

Her heart is nets and snares and her hands as bands. Those who please the Lord shall ESCAPE (FROM) her.
