At some point of life when everyone's no longer with you then you'll learn to regret it.

Unker is one of these victim.

You sounded sour with your current marriage life. Mind sharing?

Being sociable doesn't make your life complete and motivate you when you're lonely.

When your parents are no longer around one day, friends all occupied by their own families maybe already playing with their grandchildren what will you do when you're a lone bachelor by yourself? Your friends are not going to keep you company when you eat on the dining table everyday.

At some point of your life you'll start asking, why I should work hard to earn all these money?When I die who is going to inherit all my work?

Live on earth as just a passer. Donate to charity and die wasted? Had you thought about these points?

Thus it is said that a married man is motivated and focused at his work to build a career for his own family.

On the other hand, the bachelor man is directionless without a purpose as all his hard worked and wealth he built is wasted as soon as he passes away. If you see a dead end in front of you, you still want to continue to head towards it?

All the billions Bill earned through his hard work and effort will all be given back one day when he dies.

This makes the public HIGHLY curious what was his role all these while? Was he just a caretaker of the asset just as Jack Ma?

By right all people who worked very hard to build up their businesses/empires will always want a descendant. If not all his whole's life efforts will be wasted.

Used to think that way in 20s carefree life, always thick wallet, no strings attached mentality.

But once you're already in mid 30s above, you'll start rethinking your purpose in life when you're a loner while all your friends are already preoccupied with families with children growing up going to school.

You'll also wage earning career has also reached it peak when lifelong employment no longer exist today.

Your boss only prioritize married staffs when it comes to promotions and pay rise. When they see bachelors like you without commitments, you'll be place as high up on the retrenchment list despite how good you perform to cut operation costs.

40s onwards don't say you can forget about starting families and have children already after this. High risk for pregnancy. You want to donate all your assets and properties to outsiders when you die?

Your previous post and your latest seemed to contradict each other. Why so fickle minded, sis?

First you say you prefer a single life, next you declared that you lived a fulfilling life with children.

A god daughter/son is still not your own flesh and bone. Unless you are so kind to donate all your life's hard work and gains to outsiders?

Yes, eventually society has no place for bachelors who are work to live day by day without a purpose of family building. It is already happening in many regions such as Europe and Western countries where the old without families are a nuisance towards carbon footprint contribution.

Not to scare people but when these old people fall ill and admitted to the hospital, when they see no one comes visit you might just neglect you and slowly let you pass away. It's cruel way of euthanizing the lonely old folks.

It that what most people who chose to remain single wants only to regret when it's too late.

If you're a real wealthy person with all of your gains mostly acquired from ground-up through many struggles you wouldn't say that. You won't even want to share it with your relatives outside your nucleus family.

Same same like unker in late 30s.

Now with Covid even worse. Many lost their jobs, have to WFH, cannot participate in public activities, cannot go gym, cannot socialize.

You mentioned "fulfilling life" and already having children.

Perhaps you already have plans to past down your business, properties and riches to your children while ill advising others to do otherwise?

If you don't intend to get married why work so hard and struggle in life?

All the riches and wealth you built up will end up going funding/paying taxes to unnecessary future migrants, and orphans which neither are your own flesh and blood.

Sort of foolish idea.

Nah I'll skip the high flyer lifestyle and probably prefer a constructive family lifestyle which will bring real happiness in life.

Those money bought thrills are just temporary excitement/cravings in life which many will regret later on as they grow older.

My destiny in life is determined by myself and I shall not allow myself to be "cuckold".

Say you die one day a loner with millions in the bank unclaimed. How's that anything important to you anymore?
Who you want to give it to?

Donate to charity? Give to the orphans?

My last drawing salary before the COVID pandemic allowed me to save more than 50% of it with monthly expenses and enjoyed a debt free life as a single.

Yet lone life was life was empty for me despite all work, night entertainment and rich food.

Same return question can be asked. Why work so hard when you are a single to earn all these much only to be given up for charity when you return home to God?

How's that viable?

So if it's your wish to handover your wealth and stored up savings to outsiders no one's stopping you.

Viable or not differs on the individual.

My own hard earned keep of course for my own or my own descendents / offsprings.

Your life's been fulfilling while you're already married. So what's your problem, again?

How so? Wanna explain? Do you feel happier to spent most of your money with women which are not serious into commitments and only view money as the pass for relationship.

Feeling empty despite already married? It has to be that your marriage isn't working out or you chose a partner who wasn't serious or committed when marrying you?

Many out there already approaching 40 but still single like myself.

There are many unwanted and reasons beyond your control. Family hardships, having top take care of ill struck parents during mid life, male dominated career/studies which doesn't provide chance to mix with girls, life troubles, haven't met the suitable significant other yet which blends with your character, slow to mature and over attached to parents.

There's still hope for those who feel the same way like I do.

We find life partners and significant other for 2 reasons:

1) To have a family and children so that you'd have descendants to carry on your family's legacy.

2) As a life companion to fill your loneliness, share the burden and to help see each other go through life with purpose.

Option 2 is more likely nowadays with the world going into recession, risks and uncertainties. Delay in marriage reduces the chances of conceiving children but loneliness follows you through your entire life if you do not allow someone to come in to your life to relief your burden/troubles.

I'm a man not a lady.

You still have hope and should remain hopeful for things to come.

Second, women who have passed their biological clock will also experience loneliness in life and sometimes discover that money and material is not what they really want after the regret of wasting their lives away chasing career. They're more likely to be open to men who shows sincere interests in them but accepts the fact that having family with children is an option unless you want to adopt/engage surrogate mothers.You will be surprised that many of these ladies are very matured in thinking and they're more honest in committing to relationships. True love is what they truly seek.

The heart and soul is the true beauty of a woman. Physical beauty doesn't last because all of us age.
