I was watching this the other day.

All she says is true, and people should be aware these circumstances happen and might be in store for them.

With that said, there’s a certain appeal to these misery channels. Several Manosphere channels are misery channels.

I don't see her as a harridan as such. To me, that's just an older woman dispensing some sobering advice and guidance. Admittedly, it's a bleak picture she paints but, to be fair, what she describes isn't that unusual.

Exactly. It’s some honest advice for both women and men.

 

[New_Journey]

That advice for women is meaningless, women's behavior is driven by emotions not logic.

It's also much more common to have this phenomenon in the US. The US has particularly weak family and social ties overall. Especially for all of the deracinated immigrants that are here with 1 or 2 familiy members

Relationships are there by circumstance, blood ties, opportunism.
It is up to us to create relationships that are based on a genuine desire to be together and create a special moment of connection with someone.

Its your life, nobody but you is responsible for it once you are an adult. In this responsibility you are alone and cant rely on others to make your life a good one.

Do your best to be as healthy, wealthy and independent as you can. You can invite others to walk a part of your life together but in the end you are in this alone and no matter how many friends or family you have, you will most likely die without them being around.

Is loneliness a disease that necessitates a cure? If men could be made to believe so, think of the potential profit to be made from, and the potential for manipulation of, men. The real test for a …

She is a harridan. She never married and had no children. She mentioned that in the video. That was somewhat uncommon in her age bracket, as I'm guessing she's about 60-70.

She didn't have as much of an opportunity to ride the penis carousel decades ago before the internet. Unless she was a groupie for top musicians in those days (seems unlikely), she likely didn't put up a big notch count.

I do not know this woman's history, but there's wisdom in what she states in the video. If you have children but you paid too much attention to money instead of them, there's decent chance they will put you into nursing home or some institution.

However, if you don't have children, rest assured that your extended family members will be interested in putting you into nursing home if you are well off and unable to take care of yourself.

Being old and alone is not a funny part of life.

Be the captain of the ship, and have a staff or passengers to share the journey with.

Use to work as a salesman for a Supplement/Vitamin company whose main customers were 50 and older.
There were a few old people who would just buy shyt from me, because I called them and to talk and shoot the shyt
There are a lot of lonely elderly people out there, my heart goes out to them. They tend to get targeted by sales companies and scammers the most.

One thing about older people that I love is, they don't give a shyt and will tell you how it is. Some of them are uncouth but some of them are funny. There is a lot of wisdom and truth if you listen, to this lady as well.

 

[The Duke]

Lots of wisdom there.

Always count on yourself, not others to take of your matters and you won't be let down.

 

[DJ Novice]

You are born alone and you will die alone. Your friends and family aren’t coming with you or can’t ease the physical pain when it’s your time to go.

If you think being in a relationship when you’re old will help cure loneliness think again. Most old couples I see appear to just be sleepwalking through life and getting on each other’s nerves. I don’t see much desire or affection. Hardly something to be fearful of.

Hi Jhonny,
"Be the Captain of the ship, and have a staff or passengers to share the journey with.".....Wisdom from the mouth of babes...Probably not possible in the Western World....In the recent past,I stayed in the home of a remarkable Chinese Gentleman who lived,happily,to 110 years of age...He was a wealthy Man in a Country where Labour could be bought for not much more than Board and Lodging...His Children got their degrees and found new lives in the West.....His answer to problems of loneliness...He employed a live in Cook and her Husband who became his Valet,companion,in addition there was a Day working young married Lady he called his Manageress,she did the shopping and ordered the household....Every day he would toddle off to his office at the University maybe a quarter of a mile away attend to his mail,tutorials and meet with Students and Staff...So much as you suggest he had his Family and Community where he felt a sense of usefullness.

I guess it's a lot harder for women since a man at that age could easily get a caretaker wife ... or maybe the Golden Girls will still be hypergamic at that stage of life?

Actually, a lot of older women (around 60-65) still have sexual needs and any guy up for satisfying them may have "rotation" as a lot of older guys loose interest in sex or their long-term female partner very often. If it's about women older than that - they obviously still enjoy male company but probably not to the caretaker level (I think at 70+ both females and males still prefer to date non-disabled/rather healthy partners and due to various reasons - including fear of death - they may be prone to quickly leaving any new partner which succumbs to sickness or may succumb to it in a mid-to-short time period, they will also leave partners with signs of dementia as it scares them off - it is probably not ghosting but efficient loosing ties before worst part happen). Gold diggers don't care about terminal sickness (actually they are counting on it) therefore guys with financial assets will always have a choice.

This point could be an entire discussion.

It is fair to say that if you are friends with a woman and you feel good with her, that is a really good relationship, regardless of sex.

I see many couples who are solid and smiling, who do not argue and who do not have sex very often. Yet they do not have all the drama of those other couples who are forced to stay together for "the kids" or for "the commitment".

Friendship with a woman is the basis of any genuine relationship that can last long-term.
Never mind "friend zone"

Probably not possible in the Western World

Not possible, but You can live with that structure in mind and fear nothing or no one.
