        Don't get me wrong you still miss the pet longer than 6 months but that's my personal mark for where I hit the "don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened" point. I'll be devastated when my cat dies, but I'll be able to move on in a healty way and enjoy the memories I have of her. Well worth it.

          I got another dog before I was done grieving because I also felt so empty. We are best buds now but there was a lot of unfairness for him early on. I’m thinking of getting another dog soon so I won’t be in a similar situation again should I have to put him down.

        you have to be exceptionally moronic to think that dating apps are the prime indicator of "the dating game". it's not about courting even if these companies say so, it's a validation marketplace, so there is absolutely no surprise the way they market it to you and the way both men/women act on the platforms. even in dating apps if you take care of yourself and understand the rules of the game (be concise, funny but not a simp, leave room for romantic narrative development, e.g. be mysterious, etc) you can easily get away with dates with hardly any muscle and 5/10 face, average height.

        long term relationships can't be based off of vapid appearances, relationships are ultimately a lifestyle and an action of giving and receiving bla bla bla. relationships succeed more when you don't have to think of it that much and it's just integrated in the way you live, it's no different than getting good at being a carpenter, hitting the gym, or learning a new skill/habit, so maybe practice something for once in your life with that mindset before thinking about a relationship

          Sure they can, you have to get your foot in the door somehow. I gurantee that the relationships of nearly models or attractive men in general began with the woman thinking "he's hot", even the long lasting ones.

          Got married at 21. I'm now 27. Getting married early was the best decision I ever made.

            Apps and cold approaching are the only place where ghosting actively occurs because of competition from superficial aspects... unless you're just being clingy all the time and feed into the whole snapchat bullshit. No one is arguing that looking good helps you but there's so many people who look good, if you compete in that market you're just changing the battle you have to fight; meanwhile there are people who are fat or ugly or poor and they still get relationships. Superficial aspects matter but pretty much every girl bases their attraction on their feelings based on her place in the romantic narrative, she likes the feeling of smiling while texting all the time, gossiping with girls about what you did for her or where you two went last week... shit like that, being hot is one of a million ways you can get attention towards yourself, obviously if you don't interact with women verbally there's less you can do.

            I don’t use apps, this is my day to day existence. After a couple hundred failures you just know it isn’t worth the effort.

Hell changing jobs for a better salary ended one relationship. Women have the power and their script. The only thing they won’t do is approach because their princess ego can’t handle it.

            1. You have just as much power as the other person to end any relationship, unless you create the mentality that you need the relationship somehow more than the other person, which you should probably critically evaluate. You can always be the one to say "we're in different places, I am making the choice to end it", the best way to make that power egalitarian is to communicate about your feelings and understand how the other person feels rather than thinking it's some fairy tale transactional relationship. Not saying there's not problems with current dating sphere, like all the social media integration, but it's less related to gender inequities than you think, I don't think it's the root of the problem.
            2. My point is that the hobbies you do are because you get fulfillment out of it not for some extraneous reason. It is part of your identity because you enjoy it. That's the same way you should approach love, it's not just some thing you have or are in, it's an action of giving and receiving that you legit enjoy.

              The big issue is that apps and cold approach are really the only avenues men have now to get women. Let's be real, most men, especially the ones here, aren't socializing with attractive women normally and have no opportunities to. I'd agree with you that apps and cold approach are the worst ways to approach dating because they create superficial environments, but there really is no alternative nowadays. You can either looksmaxx and grind out bumble for some pussy or literally go for months without having a genuine conversation with a women. We are just so disconnected and even average women can succeed on dating apps, so there really are no opportunities for "warm" connections. Which fricking sucks to say the least.

                I would love to find some way to be around attractive quality girls regularly to build familiarity and attraction, but I'm not in university anymore and that's pretty much the last time in your life you're going to. Basically the only place to do so is the gym after that point, but I've got a home gym setup and don't feel like buying the gym membership just to meet girls. However, maybe I should.

                Dont do it at the gym unless you are very attractive. Very easy way to get kicked out or vilified online and even on fricking cable news. All it takes is one girl to not be into you and she can claim you were being creepy and get you fricked. Nothing wrong with using dating apps and cold approach in public, just don't expect them to be top notch long term material. Those days are long gone for a most of us.

                That's because you need to actually establish signals she thinks you're hot. Never approach a girl you haven't made lasting eye contact with and exchanged a smile.

                I think this is good advice for touch situations like a gym, but I've seen plenty dudes hit on girls he got no signals from and it worked out. I don't think signals are anything more than an assurance that its going to work out, not necessarily a requirement. Hell, sometimes they just don't even notice you until you actually go up to them.

                >physical evidence she lied
                The minor lying isn't a defense in court in any legal system I know of. I know it isn't in Canada and I don't know the specifics of every single state but I understand it's also not in most of them I've heard of. In some places just having digital contact with an underage person and then meeting up or giving a judge the impression you planned to meet up is considered "child luring" or an equivalent charge and carries both prison time and sex offender registry. Age of consent is irrelevant to this usually as well.

                At best you get a number/Snap that is a gigantic liability to you and at worst you get some girl saying, "Uh I'm only [age]..." to you in public in front of people which is going to look bad for you and very well may get you ejected.

                Same, but as I said, in every place I know of the law for child luring or equivalent charges is defined as "under 18" specifically which is what turns digital communication into a massive landmine.

                Dating apps are not immune to this either. There are tons of minors who jump on tinder faking their age you need to watch out for.

          My grandparents. Grandpa was in a bad way and had to be moved to an assisted living, not being able to fight every day caused a steep decline in both. My grandma died 8 months later and he died 11 days after her. When they were together they fought like cats and dogs, it was either shouting or complete silence. They both were depressed without the other even though they couldn’t stand them.

    I don't doubt that, but also all these studies are done on boomers and fricking WW2 vets.
    Nothing against them, but they got to live in a different world. A world where a relationship or marriage implied some type of commitment. A world where people weren't actively discouraged away from fidelity by cultural norms.

      Which is a great basis to co trash modern courting etiquette. We are already seeing the real time effects of what life is like with all woman behaving like prostitutes. We win as men in short term pleasures.

            1 Corinthians 7:

            >1Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command.
            >7I wish that all of you were as I am.
            Paul suggests it is better to be a volcel and having a family distracts from the work of God. He just says that if you are too horny then you should get married. However while this is suggestion, women needing to be silent is mandatory.

                No they won't, Caananites all had families, so did Midnianites, none of them were close to God. Infact they were so far God had them eradicated, and the virgins kept. I don't know where you read that, but I'd like a verse.

                That's not a core tenant, being celibate is a thing. Jesus was celibate, and he was the standard for all of man.

Having a family, supporting them, and protecting them is a critical aspect of Christianity that they ignore. Just read St Thomas Aquinas' views on the family. Use the Lord's words to overcome the challenges of this world, don't use it to make excuses for your own failures. Finding a wife is hard. Getting a good job in this shit economy and providing for your family is hard. But it is what God wants you to do and it is what you are suppose to do. Think of these difficulties as a test from God. Sure you may fail to get a good wife and a good job but you must at least try. Even if you fail to do so, and when one day will stand before God for judgement, you can say to him "I tried".

                I never meant that there are Bible verses that say that atheist might be closer to god than self declared Christians. My view of the Holy Trinity is that it signifies the importance of a family and the role a man has in it. I still encourage you to look into the views of the Saints such as St Thomas Aquinas on the family. I also encourage you not to turn Christianity into a glorified MGTWO movement. Otherwise you will only attract maggots like

    Every time i get into a relationship by the end of the honeymoon phase b***hes make me want to literally pull my hair out.

    They always want attention, you always have to worry about keeping them happy or else they ruin your life (there are hundreds of ways girls can end you with a snap of a finger), have to worry about them cheating, very expensive, etc etc. my life is 100% better without a partner thank you very much.

    I bet you money that even having a cat is more beneficial than a girlfriend. You just cant have sex with it.

    There used to be a point when I was 17-24 I'd feel so lonely I would feel physical pain in my chest and would basically drop onto the floor and stare off into space. Then I stopped caring.

    Shortly after that I met a woman and felt loved and desired (by a non-uggo) for the first time in my life. That shit ended quickly and I haven't let myself fall into another relationship despite getting more female attention than ever.

    I have a waifu but as I approach my late 20's I realize the ironic waifu was a farce and kept me from engaging in real relationships and learning.

    I know I need to go make and be with friends and go out with women but I have this negative momentum and pickiness I need to fricking destroy so I don't end up fricked up and alone and it's just so fricked to think about.

    But don't forget bros... we're ALL gonna make it.

    This is all bullshit. How exactly did they quantify this? Being obese is physically unhealthy. Being lonely is not. It might wear on your mental health after a while, if you actually FEEL lonely, but it's not going to fricking kill you.

              The conclusion that loneliness is unhealthy in humans also follows from our basic biology/evolutionary history. Humans have always been social animals, animals outside of their preferred environment become chronically stressed (in the biological sense of the word), and chronically stressed animals have severely worsened health. Of course morbid obesity will kill you quicker than loneliness, but loneliness is a lot more common than morbid obesity (in most of the world), and thus it is more pertinent to focus on maintaining healthy relationships.

    It is absolutely 100% fact bar none. Relationships, whether they are romantic or even platonic friendships, are the single most important factor to health and a fulfilling life. People here on IST like to cope because they think that since every poster here on IST is a millionaire software engineer, doctor, lawyer, etc. that they are happy, but without a social life you will always be miserable. You aren't Ted Kaczynski where you hate people and want to live in the woods alone even though plenty of people larp like they are.

    It is commonplace to see people who are successful in every aspect of their lives outside of social life to still be miserable, but it is quite rare to see people who have a good social/romantic/family life but are lacking in many other aspects of their life to really be that miserable.

    maybe i am biased but yeah i definitely believe that social relationships are the most important thing for human existence. in fact it seems like a lot of times that people can be doing really well in all other aspects of their life, but if they dont have that social aspect, they are still miserable. theres only so much your job and solo hobbies can do for you. and then you have people who may do average or even a big below average in terms of the rest of their lives, but if they have friends, a relationship/wife/husband/children, good family relationship, they will still be happy.

      1 Corinthians 7:

      >1Now for the matters you wrote about: “It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” 2But since sexual immorality is occurring, each man should have sexual relations with his own wife, and each woman with her own husband. 3The husband should fulfill his marital duty to his wife, and likewise the wife to her husband. 4The wife does not have authority over her own body but yields it to her husband. In the same way, the husband does not have authority over his own body but yields it to his wife. 5Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6I say this as a concession, not as a command.

      Paul suggests it is better to be a volcel and having a family distracts from the work of God. He just says that if you are too horny then you should get married. However while this is suggestion, women needing to be silent is mandatory.

I was about to go on my first deployment so I was bawdting around and fricking a lot of women whom I didn't care about because I just broke up with a long distance girlfriend - until I met her. We both deleted our dating apps shortly after meeting each other.

                Sure there are lots of female virgins due to mental illness, but thats because they are the most fat and unfrickable ones, which is why they are mentally ill. Not the other way around. If a girl is truly beautiful and a virgin, its because she had good parents, specifically a good dad. Not because of some social media psyop shit, social media specifically benefits women the most.

                Sure, sometimes. Not always. My girl does have a good relationship with her parents but I've talked to a lot of girls before her and they fit the bill.

          Due to my MOS I can make E-7 in 6-7 years, I've only been in for about 2 years and I started at E-1. Nevertheless I've saved almost 20k into my retirement accounts despite barely making 20k a year since then. If I stay in a govt job I will retire a millionaire pretty easily.

              I'm not going to become an officer. I'm doing 8 years and working for an alphabet agency or Argon because I have a TS.

              Actually I wouldn't mind becoming an LDO or going Warrant but I'll have to see what the future holds for me. Would rather not have to deal with any more deployments.

    Every year there is a similar study that reaches similar conclusions and I doubt them all. I doubt there is a causation between loneliness and higher death rates, how could there be? Obviously there is just a correlation, which isn't altogether unexpected. People with long streaks of loneliness can be unfit in many ways.

    I know americans have very "unique" understandings of christianity, but don't spread falsehoods about it, lest something bad happens to you. Celibacy is the christian perfection and Jesus himself wasn't married.

    i find it interesting how its vague on relationships. like its not specifically about romantic relationships, it seems to be talking about friendships too. i dunno that could be me coping, while i do get lonely at times im happy for the most part and im not certain if i would react well to a woman coming into my life

      If you take life cycle psychology it is about friendships too. One of the theories put forward why men suffer more is because they traditionally have to sacrifice social bonds to keep a roof over peoples’ heads. Often by the time they retire the only thing they have left are their wives as children can hold a grudge if they feel dad was too absent, even if the absence was for their greater good.

      I do not comprehend how you do not get that. YES ITS ABOUT FRIENDSHIPS too. And about family relationships, siblings, parents, children. And neighbors, friends, coworkers etc. Holy shit

    i feel like they got the correlation vs causation all fricked up on this one. happier people tend to have an easier time forming and keeping relationships. nobody wants to hang around a sad mopey incel. many people are also happy by themselves, and I highly doubt they studies any of those people, because those people don't leave the house or try to form relationships in the first place on account of already being happy being alone.

      hmm i wonder why its a popular belief to think that many ppl are happy by themselves. in my experience even the most "reclusive" hard working men (mostly farmers and handworkers) had a sizable family or animals to look out for
      those that didnt were alcoholics
      no in between

    I remember being young and having a large family around me at christmas in my grandad's massive house. Siblings, parents, aunts and uncles, cousins. One big happy family, together. I was the youngest and I have never felt so safe, protected and happy before - it's only after the fact that I realised that.

    All the family moved away to different countries and I haven't seen them in well over a decade. My close friends in uni disbanded to other cities and countries and never talk to them or see them anymore.

    Although now I'm strong, confident and capable with a good job, there's a big element of insecurity and vulnerability that I'm sure is not having close bonds or a tribe around me.

    I found that lifting makes me happy, which makes me want to hang out with the bois more. Which continues the cycle.
    Posting on IST has the opposite affect on me if I do it too much.
    Ever since I was 14 or so I never thought a girl would like me, and I have taken that through my life so far.
    I will keep lifting and doing what I do. I have only had male friends so far, if I keep some of those I think I can make it.

    Does that horse shit "study" (as most are these days) mention anything about the actual quality of relationships? Because I can guaran-fricking-tee you that a shitty, toxic, stressful relationship will do your health and well being MUCH more harm than good.

    t. been any many different relationships throughout my life (I'm 30), both short and long term

      This. Of course old people benefit greatly from their stable, faithful relationships. But if you're a zoomer or a millenial and try to get a gf, it's very likely to be just a major energy and time sink that will leave you joyless and sapped at the end of the day.

    One factor that needs consideration is that as you get older, regardless of where you are in the social heirarchy, the number of relations you have declines non-stop as you get older.

    >After school your social circle either declines or gets renewed with new faces.
    >After college it usually gets reduced to co-workers, especially as everyone from school/college moves on or starts a family of their own.
    >When you start a family it reduces to your spouse and child/children (pets don't count) as your main social circle, since if you both don't invest everything in raising the kids it's likely failed future for them.
    >When you retire/the kids move out you usually don't have the same energy to reconnect or make new friends due to age.
    >Then your spouse dies leaving you and irregular family get-togethers.

    Welp, I'm gonna die early. I've gone full shiz mode, ghosted my whole family, and moved away recently for no good reason. I live with my "best friend", his gf and kid, all of whom I can't stand. I can't trust anyone enough to let them in, and I hate myself. I would live alone in a cabin if I could.
