We're a social species, it's a human need. The only people who choose to be alone are people with issues they can only deal with by themselves, and some of those people spend the rest of their lives trying and failing to help themselves.
The difference between the sexes here is women's role is that of neuroticism, while men's is that of stoicism. That's the real difference.

[El_Heffe]

I have been single for now ten years but I am happy. I have been in a wheelchair since a very serous work accident. This handicaps me with regard to women in general, who don't look at me and tend to avoid me also. I have a large group of wonderful friends that love me as I love them. So I am at least not a loner. I don't fear death or being alone.

[Anastacis]

Living in misery is just worse by far

[Wowgirl30q]

Men fear dying alone

[coachTanthony]

You sure about that.

[Wowgirl30q]

I'll lock it in...

[Wowgirl30q]

@coachTanthony I appreciate you and thank you

Well guys answered 60% yes so I guess the 'ays' have it.
I answered no because of the statistic that men tend to remarry more and sooner than women, after divorce. They apparently miss the companionship and the home environment that was created by the woman.
I have a relative who tried to kill his wife because he thought she and their marriage was insufferable. He was caught and went to jail, and said that jail was better than his marriage. He actually didn't mind it.
So maybe there's the 60-28 split.

[ChiTown33]

I've never given it a lot of thought. I've always been happy by myself. It's only when someone points out that i'm alone as though there's something wrong with that that i question it.
You're born alone. you die alone. And most people even in relationships are with people that don't really care about them. So it's a show which when you come rigjt down to it makes them alone.
We're a planet circling a star in a sea of stars devoid of life.
I'd say if you don't realize you're alone and will always be alone you need to wake up.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

It's true for me. I really don't care about death or dying alone
My grandfather died in WW2, he died alone in the deserts of North Africa. That's the harsh reality of many peoples lives

You are born alone and you die alone.

A life of misery is far worse

[HereIbe]

Actually you are born surrounded by pussy, soooooooo...

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

You don't have to die alone you know?

[HereIbe]

@ThisIsMyOpinion, suicide pacts are pretty darn squicky.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

@HereIbe You know what I meant.

[GuidoThePizzaMaker]

Sorry i had a bout of nihilism.
You are born into a community or family, and you die alone. If we live healthy good lives, we have a good chance of dying within a community and having those members pay respect to us when we are gone

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

I would care much more that my loved ones would pay their respects after I am gone then some random community people.
If you have a family not only you will live a happy life, but also will not die alone.
Also to make the community notice you you need to be rich as hell and a philanthropist or they will not care at all.
Live and die surrounded loved ones is the best.

[mystomachissick]

I can't speak for all men, but I definitely don't fear dying alone. I've accepted it, and I don't fear living in misery. In fact, I think I'm starting to get used to it...

[RolandCuthbert]

I would say true. But most of the guys here at GaG are different than most guys I know.

Most guys I know, have no issues being alone and dying alone. But they have this constant battle with self-hatred and self-loathing.

[Anonymous]

Dying alone is ok.
I wouldn't want anyone that I love to have to suffer through watching me die.
Getting trapped in another bad, soul sucking relationship with a manipulative person is a real fear I have though.

[Rishirk]

To be honest, this is true for most men I know. They don't fear death, it is inevitable and some men even look forward to it. Living in misery is the last thing I personally would want, however, I can tolerate some part of it. If you tell me to live in misery for a month or 2 I may manage, but for a very long time, I would prefer death. I don't know if most men are like me, but I hope this helped you :)

[stevejobless]

Dying alone is fine. I don't need people with me when I'm dying. I want people with me when I'm living.
I fear living alone.

[Meditatingsquirrel79]

I think so. We Men need to flow good on life. When crap happens still flow and pass of crap successful.

[ThisIsMyOpinion]

This is so false it's not even funny. Are you kidding me? I would rather count pennies every month for as long as I live than live alone all my life and end up dying alone.

[Dchrls78104]

It is for me; death is preferable to me to writhing in pain from a debilitating chronic illness, and a bad woman is so much worse than any chronic illness.

[Skadoosher]

However not a 1=1 statement, I can say that among those I have met, this would be more true than not. (tips hat)

[Swat_]

True. I do not mind dying alone, but I'd like to have had a relationship before I die. I get most of my joy out of my hobbies.

[Oram52]

Well I can say this much for me I don't fear dying alone. Anyone be it men or women would fear living in misery.

[the_man57]

Men are mostly afraid of not being good enough or not being sufficient for the people they care about

[JayParris]

Dying alone would be just fine with me, but life's too short to suffer when there are better options.

[sean1234]

I dont know about fear, but maybe depressed or saddened at the fact that one could die alone.

[hansukota]

I have to go with true because I want to die alone. But I am scared of living a pointless life either with myself or someone else

[Passinggas]

Dying is a very personal thing anyways while daily torture is relentless. TRUE

[yeeeeeeeet]

I dont fear dying alone. I fear dying without purpose.
