Something I've recently been thinking about

Not in a sob story kind of way but I had a deep realization that there is a real possibility that I die alone. With the way things are set up today, I think a good chunk of people will. Obviously there are still people entering in and out of relationships and marriages but the numbers and stats don't lie for a reason. Marriage rates, relationships rates, birth dates are all steadily declining at least in comparison to before. For those of you in happy relationships, savor it because some of us will never taste it again. For those who say be okay being alone, I am...it doesn't mean my biological wiring of wanting companionship doesn't show up from time to time

Yeah when we are young, we think we long for love, connection etc.
It is just feeling h0rny, nothing more.

Once we get a bit older and the h0rmones settle way down, we barely think of wanting to be with someone.
Once in a while we think about it but then come to our senses.

I know and have seen how love-sick people act and think. It can get b*zarre but worry not, the older you get, the less you will care. That might not help right now, but just know it won't always be troubling you.

@HoeBag I don't know, I think it varies person to person because it's only troubled me more as I've gotten older. Age has only brought more regret and fomo

Yea its true. If you don't pair up before 40 I can tell you first hand it gets tough to find anyone you are even attracted to enough to date.

I am saying this as a guy too not as a typical choosey bish.

So if you see someone you can remotely tolerate before then. Think long and hard before you write them off if you want to get paired up. They dont last on the open market for long. Not even the ugly ones.

@unsociableAnthony Trust me my standards are not high at all, probably even too low. It is what it is

when i used to say i would be okay being alone, the universe would step in and say "Nope, sorry".......
sometimes, its a good thing, sometimes not.

@MayorOfCrushtown Yeah a lot of people gas light online and say "you have to be okay being alone first", when that has literally nothing to do with having a significant other. You can be okay being alone all you want, but that desire of wanting a relationship is not mutually exclusive. Yeah same, soon as I feel like I can manage life on my own, it hits me at random that it really isn't okay and that human beings were never meant to live like this. We were meant to have our someone and build our legacies, not just die off

@Movingthegoalpost i think the soul does crave a connection.

@MayorOfCrushtown There is no think. I KNOW we do. It's just something we can't fight. It's in our biological nature. It's coded in our DNA to want this. It's in our bones
