Does This Make Any Sense???

[AutoliteParticipant]

I recently spoke with a buddy who, after four failed marriages and countless bad relations~~~s, is now setting up his latest GF to move in with him. His last divorce pretty much destroyed his retirement plans and at age 70 he still has to work.

He knows that I’m Red Pill and he already knows what I think so we don’t discuss my thoughts on the issue. I just wish him ‘best of luck’. What can I tell a guy with four failed marriages what he doesn’t already know about women and relations~~~s anyway?

His rationale about co-habitation with this new GF is that if this realtions~~~ goes south, he has (almost) nothing left to lose. He could possibly lose his home and end up living in his car but I guess that he’s okay with that.

Does this way of thinking make any sense to anybody here???

At 70… maybe he feels this is his last hoorah?

I believe some just cannot pull themselves out of what society states as normal and righteous.

Let him have his adventure. It could possibly be that he enjoys the challenges of the she devils.

He is aware of the dangers. Be there for support when needed, and think of it as him going his own way – some like the rush of risk.

Edit to add:
No, for me it would not make sense.

Yes, I’m sure that that is exactly it! I would think that in your autumn years ‘peace of mind’ would be more important but perhaps that’s just me…

Well I was there for him with his last two marriages but it wears me down. It’s been years and years of this. Even though I wish all the best for him I have already seen the red flags. It’s like watching a train wreck that you know is about to happen. I’m just not looking forward to what I know is coming…

That’s called “institutionalized” and is often talked about.

Man gets out of prison, and what does he do?
Commits a crime to “go back to what he knows”.

…. it’s as if slavery is his natural/accepted state, and it’s not uncommon by a long shot. The book “The Manipulated Man” talks about it in depth too.

I also watched an episode of Mad Men (last night! – Season one on BluRay ). Don Draper said “some people want to be told what to do so badly . . . . they’ll buy into anything – even when it’s not good for them.”.

So in the same way, a man gets out of a relationship / marriage / an “institution”, and what does he do? Get’s into another one. Resigned to his fate. People who have an institutionalized mentality are often terrified by freedom and making choices, taking risks, and uncertainty. They prefer what they know. They like some kind of an umbrella above them. A Routine. A fixed schedule etc.

My brother is ALL about making plans and being ultra-rigid about it. He is spontaneous about nothing. A bit of a control freak. He considers spontaneity to be chaotic. In fact, he flew to Vegas for a few days, and when the reason for being there (business) was cut short, he didn’t just relax, get in a car and drive somewhere on his own, or take a couple of days off….. he rebooked an earlier flight to go right back home.

To him, just hanging out in a fun/wild/new city with no schedule and doing whatever he wants would be “weird”. We even talked about it. Quite literally, he doesn’t know what to do with himself.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

It’s unfortunate that he hasn’t seen the light. Although, maybe he has and he’s just ignoring it. Reminds me of my grandfather. He knew he didn’t have much time left and he didn’t want to be alone in his final years so he married again. He was wrong though. That bitch took everything when he died and even convinced him to leave a large sum of money to her in his will that was supposed to go to his kids. Just kidding. Your friend is f~~~ed. Protect your sanity.

It’s like the guy who gets out of prison and goes and robs a convenience store so he can go back to prison. There’s just no helping some people.

At age 70, I’d be more concerned about saving my money than having a girlfriend. He has 20 years of life left at the most. He’s going to need money for bills & healthcare.

"I saw that there comes a point, in the defeat of any man of virtue, when his own consent is needed for evil to win-and that no manner of injury done to him by others can succeed if he chooses to withhold his consent. I saw that I could put an end to your outrages by pronouncing a single word in my mind. I pronounced it. The word was ‘No.’" (Atlas Shrugged)

Evidently he cares more about having a GF than he cares about his own survival (physically or financially). I started this thread in an effort to try and understand why someone would think like that.

It makes no sense to me so I’m looking for opinions on why this would make sense to anybody…

Honestly, I think that he thinks a woman will be by his side in his time of death. He’s in his 70’s. People in that generation have a totally different outlook on relationships than we do. People in that generation stayed together and believed they would die by their partner’s side. To him it’s what he needs. I saw that with my grandfather. He even told us flat out that he didn’t want to grow old and die alone. Maybe he didn’t consider his family or maybe he was a coward. Maybe that’s just how he was programmed by the society of his generation. It just seems that’s one of the few explanations to your question.

Yes, that could be it. When I die I want to take one of my cats with me. I’m not afraid of dying alone. I just want to be absolutely certain that this one particularly miserable little motherf~~~er doesn’t outlive me… 😡

Every one dies alone. I’m in a profession where I’ve seen a lot of death. Never have I ever heard someone say they were with a person at the time of their death. Natural causes, overdose, accidents. We all die alone.

My uncle died quite peacefully in his sleep but he didn’t die alone. He took his four screaming passengers along with him…

If one doesn’t want to die alone, there are a few beliefs one can chose from. The only time I have seen someone die with family around was when my father in law died. He was really still alone as he was unconscious but living on a machine when we pulled the plug. I’m know there are some that die uttering their final words but they still pass alone.

I’m morbid. I know.

It’s like an addict. Conversion therapy from blue pill to red pill doesn’t stick with everybody.

More electro shock therapy during the conversion process from blue to red pill might make the new programming stick.

Everyday above ground is a good one. Everyday above ground while single...better still.

I think the bottom line might be that some people just need to be with people no matter what the cost. That emotional ‘need’ apparently overrides any sensibility or logic. I guess I don’t really understand why that is but I can acknowledge that that’s just the way that it is…

He is done it 4 times I doubt he will learn.
