Aging and the peace it brings

[WallyParticipant]

I’m 43 about to turn 44. I had read several years ago that once a man reaches 42 and has no family or children he never will. Before my 41st birthday I wondered about this but found it to be true. It may be different for others. The desire for the blue pill fantasy disappeared for me at 42. I accepted it, embraced it and realized as time goes on how fortunate I am.

I still feel energetic at my age but I understand that there truly is a limit to the amount of time we all are given. My doctor said something so profound to me I will never forget it and it brought tears to my eyes at the moment when I was at my most vulnerable in life he pointed to the window and said “Your life is not about this it’s about what’s out there.”

I think this quote can apply to everyone here, each one of us has something that weighs us down, some more than others(you men that are divorce survivors)

I will never forget watching a video from a man interviewing Michael Jordan and he said it’s so important to embrace what you love doing and just do it for the pure enjoyment.

Our time is so finite For us getting older is a good thing, it brings the tranquility. Go your own way and go in peace.

The realization that I would never marry and never father children simply b/c I did not want to hit me in my late 30s.

A former employer of mine bet me 20 bucks that I would be married by the age of (I forget 30-35). He was wrong.

I never got my 20 off the dude. Before I reached the age he was divorced raped, lost everything and said f~~~-it. Moved to Ca. One of the few bossholes that I liked.

.. totally agree.

I’ll be 42 in December. I hope some peace does come. Though I am divorced and already have two kids. I love them but it’s hard. I hardly get to see them. Starting my life over in middle age. Sometimes it’s so hard waking up to that realization of the red pill; it’s tough. But I hope I do find peace. That’s really what I want. I think ultimately it’s what we all want.

Hey Wally, thank you for the wonderful dose of wisdom. I am 42 as well, but my I had come to realize that in my 30’s. But, did not accept it until I was almost 40.

As we age, we mellow out and start to realize what really matters in life.

I do not have children, but plenty of my friends do. I enjoy spending time with my friends & families. Taking them fishing, hiking, camping, or other activities makes me feel young again. Just because I go my own way doesnt mean I have to be alone.

Don't chase tail. Turn yours around, walk away, and live free!

Hope you find it Jack

Those who are lucky are able to find their passion in life and begin to experience life through that passion.

May we all be so lucky at some point before we pass away.

Hi Wally, we’re the same age. I just recently turned 44 myself. I feel so much more at peace. I don’t feel the need to prove myself to anyone, to put up with society’s bulls~~~ and distractions. I do not have children, happy I don’t have them. I have been in a couple of long term relationships but happier single.

I became Red Pill a few years ago. It was a slow process although I was never as Blue Pill as some other men.

I notice though that some people never achieve this peace. They are always chasing rainbows and unicorns that just aren’t there. And I have to say that women are far less at peace than men are. Although some men are absolute basket cases.

Great post. Aging equates to knowing needs versus wants and being content. Accumulating and taking care of needs throughout the years while remaining unc~~~ed allows for smooth sailing on the SS MGTOW.

All aboard!

Wow this thread seems to strike a note with us guys in our early to mid forties.
I’m 46 next month. Separated from wife at 42. She divorced me at 44. 18 months ago.
Two young kids. Which are the only reason I don’t regret meeting my ex.
Not found much peace yet but I know it will come.
As I watch my kids grow I feel gratitude.

I am lucky.

Oh well, that’s me then! I turned 42 this year.

Snap! I have taken The Red Pill now and I have accepted it. I see the Blue Pill World and Women for what they really are, i.e. a BIG LIE and TOTALLY FALSE.

Now I have decided to Go My Own Way and forget/ignore women, these decisions have brought me this strange feeling of inner peace/tranquility that I have not had before in my life. I no longer seem to have the desire for women anymore. I just cannot be bothered with women, because I know that they are false, not genuine, and are damaging for men. I spend my out-of-work time doing my hobby (i.e. playing my Piano) and reading/watching non-pussified stuff, and at work I have minimal contact with women. Women have only brought this on themselves; I am merely reacting to their own behaviour.

Yes. I now can very clearly/dramatically distinguish between NEED and WANT in my life. I can live a very minimalist life, yet still be content, if not more content than before, when I had unneccessary things in my life. Age and Clarity bring this view-point, given that you are also woman-free, as you rightly say (since women only cloud a man’s proper judgement).

Peace to all MGTOWs.

I can’t wait to be 90.

I’m in my 40s right now (not married, no kids), and I’m looking forward to starting a new chapter for my life story. I feel like I’ve been in a lot of unfair situations in the past and I used to think about getting revenge on certain people who have hurt me and my family. But sometimes I think to myself, “Why bother? They live in the same s~~~ty world I do.”

Sometimes I would get angry and think that bad things never happen to evil people, but eventually they will suffer. We all suffer.

The older I get, the less I care about this world. I have no control over the retarded stuff people do and the politicians who represent them. I focus on what I can do for myself—since I’m in no position to tell others to do what I think they should do.

I’m obsessed with creating a nice retirement for myself in the future. Every day, I imagine what it would be like to have my own ranch, a house, a garage with sports cars, rental properties, and other investments. I don’t want to worry about bills, taxes, neighborhoods with noise (in the middle of the night) and crime, and dealing with annoying customers. I am working toward the goal of being financially independent, and living life on my own terms. I am sick and tired of being at the mercy of employers and landlords. I want to escape that s~~~ vortex and experience some real freedom!

The lifestyle I want: Get out of bed when I feel like it. Fry up some bacon and eggs for breakfast. Read the Wall Street Journal. Ride a golf cart around my ranch and water my fruit trees. Drive one of my cars to the beach and splash around in the waves. Play tennis in a park or use a tennis wall. Pick up some supplies from the grocery store. Rent a Redbox DVD. Drive home and grill a steak outside. Sip a bottle of beer. Watch the Lakers or watch a movie. Brush my teeth. Then go to bed and watch videos on YouTube.

I’m going to attempt to live each day in peace and let the rest of humanity f~~~ themselves.

Beautifully said, Wally.

Do not date. Do not impregnate. Do not co-habitate. Above all, do not marry. Reclaim and never again surrender your personal sovereignty.

Im 33 almost 34 and I am at peace, live in no f~~~s given state.

And have my future quite clear.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

[Ever5Participant 1008]

Great stuff guys. Yeah I’m in my early 30’s and just taking in the red pills for real about 6 weeks ago. But a lot of it knew, just couldn’t accept it, couldn’t leave denial.

It’s actually pretty rough. I love understanding things, especially human nature, but then having to reflect on all the bad decisions I made in the past. It’s quite painful. I’ve heard that by December I should be a new man. Once all this mess integrates.

I guess after letting go of all the falsities, then all the energy that has been used up pursuing those, that now all my resources will be directed towards my own life.

I suspect the end result will be more positive that I’ve ever experienced, more peaceful, more fulfillment possibly.

But this stage of the game, I’m managing fine but yeah it’s quite painful. Escaping denial and then reflecting on all my unwise decisions of the past and seeing them for what they really were… foolish.

Anyway, love the optimistic post. I’m hoping I’ll be there within a year.

Truth has no place to live in the mind of a woman.

Great post Wally. Quite insightful. Great comments as well. Made my morning. Love being middle aged.

Even being awakened while married, the Red Pill back in my early 40s has made all the difference. Without it I’m pretty sure I would have become one of the departed. The years before the Red Pill were quite dark and filled with despair.

I fulfilled a life long dream of going surfing this year, in South America no less. I wouldn’t have had the b~~~~ to go for it, if not for the Red Pill and the men on this forum.

Not every day is sunshine, rainbows, and butterflies, but there is life worth living. One day at a time.

Lol. I hope you are still here when you’re 90, Wally.

I’m only 25 and I have more zen than most people I meet my age.

Stress makes you age like s~~~, and marriage is one of the biggest stresses ever!

You cut that, you literally add years to your life!
