... My brother died alone, but I should have been there to hold him when he took that last breath, and telling him "I've got ya bro" He still died alone.
Sims, you are the kind of woman that will NEVER be alone, no matter WHAT! That too for the other wonderful members of our small Clique here on GAG.

I'm so sorry about your brother. But thank you so much for saying that. I really do appreciate you for saying that!

10 moYou won't be forever alone as long as you keep trying.
And something else i would advise you as someone who has had to learn this myself is try to let go of the feeling that if you are alone that means there's something wrong with you. as long as you keep trying you just haven't met the right person yet. It should hopefully take some of the stress off your shoulders when you internalize that fact.

yup it happens but thats just one dude out of billions so there's still someone out there. just cause one guy didn't work out doesn't mean the next will. and by the way if you need time for yourself feel free to take it. there's no rush either. its not a race.

And there is no way in this world your going to be alone.20 Reply- 9.6K opinions shared on Relationships topic.
u 10 moWhy should you accept that as a fact. I was alone for several years and got married last year.
30 Reply 3.6K opinions shared on Relationships topic. What did you prioritize over a relationship? I don't actually expect an answer, but if you had made a relationship a priority - which includes both having realistic standards for the man AND bringing things to the relationship that men value, you would have a relationship now. It's pretty clear that you had other priorities.
As a woman, your relationship value in your 20s, especially your early 20s, is similar to inheriting tens of millions of dollars on your 18th birthday, except you can only spend that value on the relationship market.
The problem is that this value that was bestowed upon a woman by being female and turning 18, depreciates throughout her 20s even if she does nothing, but depreciates much more rapidly with every partner she has, and even more with non-committed partners. Yet, even as her market value declines, most women want, demand, and feel entitled to more and more, which only reduces her chances of success.
If you were talking to a young man who had the potential to become a professional athlete - say baseball, football, basketball, or hockey - and he kept putting off pursuing that sport, thinking that he could put off taking it seriously, playing local games in the park but not playing in high school or college, would it be any surprise that he couldn't get a tryout at 28? Of course not - tryouts are for 22 year-olds who have an academic record. It's the same kind of thing.
The men you go for don't take you seriously because you are shopping above your league, and don't bring the value to shop at that level, even if you once did.
LaBron James can buy mansions because he brought the value to the league to get paid. Our hypothetical athlete isn't going to be taken seriously if shopping for mansions because he never brought the value to the league and thus never got the payday. You don't pay for mansions with past potential, but with current tangible value. Our broke athlete COULD have been a professional, but he didn't choose that path because he had other priorities, and now that opportunity is gone. He's got to find a cheap one-bedroom apartment because that's all he can get with the value he has to provide. Shopping outside his league won't ever get him a mansion, or anything but being homeless.
Of course, you can still work to increase your value and maybe increase your level a bit, but that would require learning what men value in a woman and becoming and embracing those things. That's like our athlete getting a job and cleaning up his bad credit - it won't get him the mansion, but it might get him a mortgage on a small starter home so he can get out of the apartment.32 Reply- 10 mo
I was deeply depressed at the time of my very first relationship and could not bring much value to any man with the headspace I was in. I'm much better now in some ways after the breakup, but I know there's a lot of growth that needs to happen for me to be a valuable asset to a man. That may take years and I'm old now so that ship I feel has sailed. As you said our value depreciates over time. And I'm at the end of being valuable to a man. So that's why I asked the question of how do you come to terms with the fact that you will always be alone.
- 10 mo
At 33, your value probably isn't zero. It's not the incredibly high level that it once was, but it isn't zero either. And you can learn to be more of the things a man values in a few months time if you focus and commit yourself.
That still isn't going to get you a top 5% man, but it CAN still get you a man with great morals and values and compatible life goals. He won't have movie star looks or an 7-figure salary, but the more value you can bring to the marketplace, the better the mid-range man you can get.
You don't have to be alone just because you can't have a top man. You just need to not make shallow, surface-level choices that you can't afford anyway, and shop in your price range. That guy may not impress your Instagram followers, but so what? That's hardly the mark of quality anyway. You can still get a loyal, caring, hardworking man IF you can learn to appreciate him. And that's a whole lot better than living another 40-50 years alone. Those are the years that being alone is the hardest...

10 moWell, you aren't ALWAYS alone. There are times when you are, but you have friends, family, a job.
If you mean existentially. Well, there is no other way to exist, is there. The way to enjoy it is to read, experience film, art, poetry. Let your mind wander and relax after your experiences. Play games. Create. Even in our singularliness, there is joy in living life: waking every day to a new day and new experiences.
There are people to meet and places to go, things to do. Life is a gift, alone or with others.10 Reply
10 moI think it is important to learn to like our own self first so we feel good about what we have to offer. That helps protect from getting into relationships out of desperation, which tends not to lead to a healthy dynamic. Then, the next step is concentrating on developing real friendships with both women and men, and nurturing quality relationships with those we surround ourselves with. At that point, allowing ourself to be open to a romantic relationship is key. It’s a conscious process. You can do it, I know. And I really hope you are getting the help you need for your depression.

10 moLearn to love yourself. Someone once told me that if you want a relationship you should write down all the characteristics you want that person to have (strong, hardworking, confident, successful...) Now when you finish that list you need to become all those things and the person you want will find you. I think accepting ideas like that attract it to you. Try not trying... just learn to love yourself. work on finding out who you are, not finding out who you could be with another person. I believe the truest love isn't something we look for and find. What's truly meant for us finds us
10 Reply1.5K opinions shared on Relationships topic. @Simslover92 There are a lot of things that make it difficult for couples to form long duration relationship presently.
Marriage is the leader in relationship formation but it is now a bust. The median (50%) length is now 8 years with 1.8 children. That is not a viable deal for men as at least 70% of wives initiate unilateral divorce by 8 years. As only 10% of men initiate unilateral divorce the true figure is probably 90% of divorces are wife initiated.
I suspect relationships now only last till they stop being fun.
So whilst you might consider it an inferior option (as I do), the only choice you have is a series of short term relationships.

Anonymous(18-24)10 moNo one ever has to be alone. Get help, find groups and organizations, you might not like churches but there are a lot of accepting people there and there are a lot of different kinds of churches from very religious to not religious at all. And it doesn't have to be a church. Find any kind of group you can join and get to know people and make friends. School groups and work groups and community groups and volunteer groups and game groups and reading groups. Whatever it is, find it. Ask people you know now to spend time with you. Ask for introductions to nice people. The only catch to all of this is you have to do the work, you can't just sit around and wait for it to come to you. But it's not a lot of work and the payoff is much greater than the amount of effort you will put in. Do something. Don't just sit there and say you will be alone.

Anonymous(30-35)10 moPersonally I've slowly been going insane so if I figure it out I'll let you know but what I've been doing is just trying to stay busy and keep telling myself over and over the juice isn't worth the squeeze. Too many people these days are so selfish and self absorbed they don't have enough love for others to be in a healthy relationship. All that love is focused on the self. Don't get me wrong self love is important but a lot of "Self love" these days in reality is just narcissism. I see a lot of people labeling toxic behavior as self love.
10 Reply1.1K opinions shared on Relationships topic. I am not sure you really come to terms with that. Other than becoming a nun or something.

10 moI didn’t “come to terms” with it, I chose it. I want to be alone. If you don’t want to be alone, then find some company. Don’t act like being without a romantic partner means you’ll always be alone. We put romance on an insanely undeserving pedestal, you can live a happy life without it IF YOU CHOOSE TO not because you feel like you have no choice.

When I finally found somebody that attitude really made me sabotage the relationship. I felt that I did not owe anybody any accountability for anything that I did. It caused a lot of friction in my marriage. Eventually I figured it out but it sucks that I got that way in the first place.10 Reply1K opinions shared on Relationships topic.

10 Reply982 opinions shared on Relationships topic. I'd guess you are only interested in men that have many options. Dating/finding a partner for a relationship IS a competition, whether people want to admit it or not. People need to be more realistic about their own value and try to find a partner close to that instead of someone far above.
Or they can just be alone forever.

Opinion Owner10 moFunny how women are always told to choose better while men are never told to be better. The bar is on the floor, and yet we are the ones blamed for tripping.
- 10 mo
Women need to be better. The main problem with relationships is that the majority of women are low quality and unacceptable for the actual good men.
For example, if she has EVER had casual sex, has had more than 5 sexual partners in her entire life, has tattoos, nose rings, did drugs or drank lots of alcohol (even if she quit, it still damaged her eggs/future offspring), doesn't contribute and expects only the man to provide everything and she contributes nothing, or she is against prenuptial agreements or paternity tests, ANY of those things make women low quality and MOST women have multiple of those faults.
And men often ARE better than the women they are with. Taller, stronger, more intelligent, more logical, protect more, do more hours of work each week (stay at home partners do FAR less work than someone working 40 hours per week), etc.
