This should be an interesting thread as I am considering moving into my own place, by myself.

But that’s why many people get married, because they fear BEING alone and they want to feel useful, and that they have someone to spend all the holidays with. Not because they actually love the person that they want to be married, but because their fear of loneliness far outweighs their concerns on the risks of marriage.

I have many hobbies. Book-writing and movie collecting is only some of them. And on top of all that, surfing the internet keeps me busy as well. I have two jobs that take up most of my time. Working and then sleeping takes up 80 percent of my week. The remaining 20 percent, I like to keep up on my hobbies and don’t have time to think about what being lonely all means.

Loneliness is just a state of mind. If you don’t have jack s~~~ to do with your time, then I guess it’d be possible for you to feel lonely. And having someone to spend the holidays with?

First of all, holidays are overrated, and you are CONDITIONED by society to want to feel the need to be with someone around that time just because it happens to show up on a f~~~ing calendar. F~~~ that s~~~, and use the holidays to spoil YOURSELF like you feel like you can’t do the rest of the year. Go buy a $2,000 expense that you’ve saved up for as a reward. And think about the married men out there who don’t have that luxury of spending two thousand dollars unless it was on their WIFE. Like on the movie, “The Family Man.” Nicholas Cage is a NYC billionaire suddenly thrust into about 2 months of an alternate reality where he is married, living in a Jersey suburb, his Ferrari from his other life is replaced by a minivan, his billionaire job is now a tire salesman position, and his thoughts of wanting to buy a $2,000 suit is thought of by his wife as SELFISH because “that money is supposed to be for our kids’ college fund.”

Yep, watch THAT movie and I guarantee, all thoughts of loneliness will go down the f~~~ing toilet. Either that or your next visit to Walmart will clear some things up in perspective for you.

And while you’re at Walmart, feel free to splurge on food. Because the other married men…they might not be lonely, but anything that they buy for themselves that they HOPE they can eat later on is all consumed by everyone else in the household before that poor guy can have a chance. $40 worth of groceries can last me for 10 days on average. $40 of groceries can feed a family of four or five…for a day or two. So think about the luxuries that being LONELY means that you can afford, and pretty soon, you’ll feel happy as hell.

I was able to type all this up and post it in 2 or 3 minutes flat without a single interruption. Can a married guy say the same? Oh…and by the way, I’m spending my next holiday weekend with my nieces and nephews, which is Easter. And that’s MY choice. Not because I’m OBLIGATED to, but because I’m the favorite uncle, those kids are a DELIGHT, and their mother(my younger sister) is a f~~~ing awesome woman who has never tried to make me feel ashamed for being almost 30 and single. In fact, the only thing she has said about my bachelor status is that, “At least you have plenty of time to schedule visits with US so my kids can see more of you.”

Yep. Couldn’t be lonely when I have such a great sister and 5 great kids less than 30 miles from my house to go hang out with. And I better go call my sister and confirm our plans for Easter weekend.

The only time you get lonely, is in the beginning, when you get your own flat, and were used to sharing it, or if you are dependant on social interactions on a daily basis, but being so, means that you are afraid to sit down and think about where you are, and where you are headed, pretty much like drowning your own thoughts with booze.

 

Depending where you are in life, it can differ greatly but a hobby or personal project, is something that will continue to build your own forte for personal freedom, or furthering your own career in life

you say living alone and then talk about being alone, right? Well I am living alone, but I am not alone, I am with myself. I like it, coming home to my apartement and nobody is there. That’s my private Destination. I don’t have to care, just about myself. I don’t have to hear complainings about this or that and when I am in the mood having a beer instead of dinner, I do it. I don’t have to justify.

Do you ever feel like you have nobody to spend the holidays with?

If I want to spend my holidays with a good company I go there where I can have it. Normally I do not plan my entire Holidays when I stay at home. I make a list o the things which have to be done and a time schedule when I want to have them done. The rest is for spontaneous activities.

Do you ever fear dying old alone with nobody sitting next to you on your deathbed?

Jesus Christ, NO. The worst thing I can imagine is dying and someone sitting there crying and waiting until I am gone.

Do any of you ever regret living alone?

I just can speak for myself, in this case I say No regrets.

Does this increase or decrease your chances of getting laid?

I would say it increases the chances, but it is difficult to say because in the times I was in a relationship I do not care about other women.
Living alone makes it easier for me, it is harder to make her understand that it is over when it is over.

CHEERS!!!

Life is too long to play by someone elses rules....

Vector, your opinion here is the only one that matters as far as whether living alone is something you want to do or not.  And I guess you’ll only know when you try it.  We might all love it but it doesn’t necessarily mean you will.  It sounds like you have your doubts and feel like you need a woman to be happy, which I guess means you aren’t MGTOW right?

The only time you get lonely, is in the beginning

This was true for me. In hindsight I think it was more a combination of self pity and lack of organisation than anything else.

Long before I was red pilled I realised my worst fear of living alone. It was to die and not to be found, and eventually be found stinking the house out.. You must have read of cases like these.
When I thought it through I now consider it hilarious. I hope they don’t find me for years and I hope I stink the whole neighbourhood out.

If you’re really after intense loneliness, get married.
You’ll hear from both men AND women that they’ve never felt so isolated and alone.

Vector,

Look after yourself, eat well and exercise. Starting out is the hardest part. You will be fine.

All the best.

Well spoken. You just can do it, knowing a Dollar is a Dollar and not just 50 Cents or less.

Cool, man. Just replace the water kettle against this one
