How do I respond?

[DkaiksterParticipant 90]

These are the questions I always face whenever I express my need for being single. Although, I know the answers to all of them, I just don’t know any convincing way to answer this specific one that would just make them shut up.

There’s a saying, “Single men live like a king and die like a dog” (Meaning, they have no one to look after them at their deathbeds). How do I respond?

Other things are like: When you do fall in love, you won’t be feeling that way anymore. Your emotions would take control over all those reasons and logic you are giving.

I answer that with this simple line: “The difference between the fool and the smart is the ability to overlook emotions and listen to reason.”

The first response that comes to mind is “F~~~ you, get away from me”. Really, I’d reply with a question like “Just because you’re saying this doesn’t make it true. Are you trying to scare me into a relationship? Trying to scare me into being dependent on someone else?”

You can also go on about how they’re not able to predict the future and how they might end up the final survivor of their relationship where they will “die like a dog” too. That might have the effect you’re looking for.

Other than what I’ve already said, this is nearly ridiculous to entertain. I wouldn’t give the time of day to anyone who is trying to guilt or shame me into anything.

With laughter.

Having children (or signing a marriage contract) to have someone to wipe your ass when you are old is THE MOST SELFISH piece of s~~~ way of thinking. I marvel whenever someone tries that, and it’s easy to publicly humiliate them. Tolerating all kind of CRAP from everyone around you just so you don’t “die alone” is a manipulation and nothing more. It’s how you LIVE that matters. Thank those people for reminding you that single men live like a king. The only reason they want you to “die like a king” is so they can spend your money after you’re dead. Preferably during your lifetime…. but at any rate after your death.

“Women in their hearts believe that men are expected to earn money so that they may spend it.
Preferably during his lifetime… but at any rate, after his death”.

When you do fall in love, you won’t be feeling that way anymore. Your emotions would take control over all those reasons and logic you are giving.

Thats’ exactly how a woman thinks. They say that as if you’re just one blowjob away from “changing your mind”. And if that’s not proof of their own delusion then I don’t know what is. The haze of orgasm is not “your emotions”. Just because a woman reacts emotionally to all kind of stupid s~~~ and attaches silly crap like “soulmates” to her orgasms (or keying cars & slashing tires to a break-up) does mean you are as stupid. The difference between men and women is that women are FAR more likely to make stupid emotionally based decisions.

• You don’t sign a lease on a dare
• You don’t race some asshole because he calls you “chicken”
• You don’t sell a stock just because it dips 12%
• And you don’t sign a f~~~ing marriage contract just because it “feels like you’re in love”.

All stupid f~~~ing emotionally-based decisions.
Tell her to stop projecting that stupid s~~~ on you.

The BEST way to respond… is no response at all.
Responding is what they want, and they will talk any amount of nonsense to get it.

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

Single men can hire cooks and maids, and it doesn’t cost them half their wealth.

Do you know who thinks that way? Children. Remember your first crush, and your first rejection? You grew up and realized what a f~~~ing waste it was. Women are children who have never been held accountable so of course their emotions take over, because they have never had to exercise self control.

I would say, “You know, I don’t really care.”

Lol. “So what you’re saying is that I’m just one really great blow job and a sandwich away from falling in love? <point to hottest girl in the group> How about you and I put that theory to the test?”

And yeah, KeyMaster… “It’s not how you die that matters, it’s how you live.”

I’ve been asked many times “How did you get to be your age without getting married?” and I usually respond “Lots of good decisions, and more than one dodged bullet.” And they laugh and say “No really…” and so I look at them seriously and say “I have yet to meet a woman with whom my life was consistently better than it is when I am on my own. If you know that woman, introduce her to me. If not, I believe we’re done here.”
