You don't have a family.

You are human OP. Humans need a mate. Go find love bro.

wonder what sandwich shes thinking about making?

Start watching anime like a fag and find love in a 2D character

Did you ever ask a woman out?

Sounds like someone I know. Initials MR?

no.

Similar position. Depression is inevitable when challenge in life is slowly degraded and goals are gradually checked off the list.

Suicide increases in those that are middle-aged and male, so keep yourself busy with meaningful activity.

>Haven't learned to spell a lot

it's cause life is on easy mode for you. I'm 26, make 6 figures, and have a decently hot GF and I still get in the dumps frequently. It's because there's no struggle for survival. we have it too easy.

I'm in a similar situation and I don't feel bad at all.
In fact, I'm a little worried I should feel worse.
My coworker, who is about 10 years younger than I am just had his first kid and is getting 2 hours of sleep per night. He's the walking dead at the moment.
10% of the time, I'm like, "I guess a kid would be nice," but the other 90% of the time I'm thinking, "sucks to be him right now."
I'm thinking I'm just a horrible, selfish person and this is what concerns me more than what I'm supposedly missing.

everyone matures at different speeds. it may hit you when you're 40, or maybe even 50.

the sad thing is it may hit you when it's too late to morally have kids. you don't want your son to be graduating college when you're in a nursing home.

For the same reason that I'm depressed, OP. I just entered a financially amazing situation where I don't have to worry about money, where I'll be able to bang as many woman as I want, where I'll be free to pursue my goals, and will have the freedom in life that everyone (thinks) that they desire.

But I'm fucking depressed because making this decision meant walking away from someone who is the love of my goddamn life. I purposely distanced myself, refused to let me and her become "boyfriend and girlfriend," and then walked away from her. Even though to be with her meant living a life of continued poverty, of taking care of her problems, of never being able to pursue the things I wanted out of life.

But I would have had her.

Humans are hard-wired to seek out a mate, OP. All of us are. I finally have the chance to grab the life I always want and literally all I want to do is run back across the country to be with her.

Shallowness, we have a desire for sex so that we will find a wife and have children, we desire money and status so we can provide for that family. These things are designed to be a means to an end, not a goal in and of themselves. If you are going against your own nature, can you really be surprised if you are left unfulfilled? You are chasing shadows.
A woman who will "take half" is not worth anything, but there are many who are still moral and traditional. I think if thats what you want, you may find it easier to attract them by becoming more like that yourself. That has been my experience anyway, and so far marriage is not anything but a joy. The right partner is a must though.

Turns out you're a wage slave and you don't make all that much money. You've wasted your life and have never reproduced

Wrong. Need is too strong a word. Desire perhaps. You dont need a mate to be happy. OP is just being a little faggot

Implying sex is the most important thing in life. Keep being a good goy.

Making a 100k a year ain't shit though

Love

You Sound like a massive faggot.

No, passing on your genes is. Living selfishly always leads to depression, lame ass

6 figures can mean anything from 100k-999k you realize that right?

also, 100k/year even in a high cost of living gives me more than enough money to survive comfortably. I go on vacation whenever the fuck I want, buy whatever clothes I want, and eat whatever the fuck I want all day every day.

If you're implying I can't go buy a 500k car or a diamond encrusted rolex, you're correct, but I've never had any interest in that. My point was that all my basic needs are met. I can survive for 5 years off of my take home salary for 1 year.

Sure kid

Sure kid

100k is a lot. Dont listen to these jealous fags that work at McDonald's

100k on the dot puts you in the 88th percentile in the US in terms of earning. Easily top 1% on a global perspective. I think that proves the point just fine.

Yeah, like I was saying, your 100k a year ain't shit. You are middle class. Period. Nothing impressive

Ok goy. Mah superior gene's is what's important. Kek I hope retards like you aren't passing them on.

You've obviously never made 100k a year, or you would know, it ain't shit.

>the min wage slave
Keep dreaming fag

A man needs goals. Sounds like you have your shit together so now you need to find something you enjoy that you want to pursue.

How can you interpret his comment as implying sex to be the most important thing, while he obviously subordinates it to its outcome, ie procreation?

Yeah I mean it's all perspective. If you make $500k, then I can see where $100k isn't shit. But I think your average human being would be elated to make that kind of salary.

I'm not even trying to brag about my income. In my office I'm probably one of the lowest paid..and yet I still don't give a fuck about making more money. The most miserable fucks I work with all probably make 300k+..

I can tell you are about one click away from blowing your head off. You must be sterile and now you're angry with those who have strong alpha genes and thick cocks with fertile sperm to impregnate any woman they choose. Sorry you are such a loser.

I'm the first person you replied to. I make north of $100k and i'm doing just fine. You won't see me riding around in a lambo but like I said, I don't give a fuck about having a nicer car or a slightly bigger house. The whole point of this thread and my reply is that once your basic means of survival are taken care of, things get boring.

I mean I'm 26 years old and single so I don't really see your point. I have the same disposable income as a 50 year old with 3 kids who are going to college and a mortgage to pay who makes $300k a year. Are you retarded or is the point I'm trying to make just too complex for you?

My life is plenty exciting and I make way more money than you. I also have a loving wife and two awesome boys to share everything with. I keep trying harder to provide my family with more and that keeps it interesting.

you have no idea how much I make. 6 figures doesn't mean $100k you babbling retard.

is that girl a femcel?

Because you didn't start a family which is a biological imperative. If you were a woman you'd be done for, but as a man you have plenty of time to fulfill what nature demands.

Oh, I bet you even count the cents.

smoke weed and go on sex tours.

You're not doing anything at 26 that is making you much more than a 100k, son

She looks like Steven Wilson.

Not OP, but I was making close to 200k at 26. Not sure why someone else couldn't do it...

Midlife Crisis, bro. Just try something new like diving, climbing, new girlfriend, whatsoever

Only a bugman reads that comment and thinks it's about sex. Only a ruined numale thinks creating a family is just an excuse to have sex.

Because you want what you can't have.
Love.

Cool story, bro. Everybody on Yea Forums makes six figures!

Eurofag here. Just curious how much you pay for tax and private health insurance per year.

You literally proved his point, you have a purpose in life other than your income, your income serves that purpose, your family. I can tell from my own personal experience, after 80k a year there is a sharp decline in how much satisfaction money brings you. Making more than double that can not fulfill me, you need a purpose in life.

I once got a loan for an hiperhydrosis operation for my hands , it was like 2,500 usd in cash to pay in thr hospotal , i looked at it and just realized is paper , do what u wsnt nigga , time passes

Family plans for medical are average $500-$800 per month. We pay federal tax, state tax, property tax, sales tax, etc. So that fluctuates

Sadly, if you don't plan on having kids or anything.

I highly doubt that.
I'm from a state that has no income tax, and working 'from home' over seas, so I don't have to pay any federal income tax on the first 106k. After that it's like 25-28%
Don't pay shit for health insurance. If I need some medicine I just go pay cash for it.

You can still get young girls, marry one have kids. You are still young enough for sure. Even if she takes half, so what? You cant take it with you, half and a few kids, sounds good.

I can tell your a fat neckbeard that's never had a girlfriend. Keep stuffing those cheetos down your throat and tell your mom I said hi when you wobble your fat ass upstairs for a mountain dew.

move country

Cool bud if creating a family is your thing go right ahead. It's not the meaning of existence. I will pass and keep my money to myself. And find meaning somewhere else. Lifes purpose is what you make it.

You can just go back and make some kids now since tmyou took pretty goos care of your body.

And you can make purpose out of anything.

who Fucking knows. I'd kill to be in your shoes. I have a shit load of kids, no Fucking money, a cheater wife, a failing business, and a stupid ex. I pray for death EVERY Fucking day. I just don't off myself because of my kids. I guess the grass is just always greener, friend.

only weak faggots need a mate, play the game on single player you pussy

I'm 35 and I'd KILL to fuck an 18 year old again.

imagine having this much of a lizard brain

/thread

If you're fit and have money just go to Eastern Europe or SE Asia. Won't even have to pay for it.

Paypal me money so i can buy food and not die this week maybe that will make you happy?

You're depressed because while having all these things should make you happy, you have noone to be with. You use your time for materialistic gains and not for gains to your soul.

That is true, but that does not mean that all "purposes" will give you the same level of fulfillment.

Get a hobby, dumbass.

Well eventually you're going to be old, dead or wishing you were so what good is that half, really.

Get hitched. Make babies. It's a whole new world. You've done a lot in life. Learned a lot. You could pass that knowledge on if you had kids. It's a sense of fulfilment you're never get by being "Lord No-Kids".

join a BJJ Academy. it will change your life, no joke. very familial, great exercise, plenty of in shape beautiful girls, and you can travel all over to train. seriously it's for everyone.

That phase goes away pretty fast. You'll spend the next 20+ years hearing about how his kids are a great part of his life while you go home to maybe a girlfriend, or maybe just anime and porn. There's no fulfillment in a long childless life and you'll regret it when it's too late.

Capitalism.
The pointlessness of our lives under this vampire of a system. The destruction of the planet, of spirituality, of social bonds - and of ourselves. All goes with it, and comes out of it, because it serves the system.

Try to understand we cannot find happiness unless we demolish it. The time is now, within this decade, because if we wait longer the destruction of our biospehere will be too far gone and there will be no way back.
Channel your depression/anxiety/fear/hate/love into this one struggle, which will set us all free.

Chemical imbalance.

The levels of fulfillment of which are completely subjective.
I may not get any out of having children and only wish I was dead for the experience. It's all a matter of opinion. Having children doesn't necessarily mean I will enjoy it. The opposite could be true.

because having success has no meaning behind it. Why are you successful? Why do you want to be successful? You don't have a real reason.

I'm the asshole who's married with a bunch of kids. if I didn't have the kids I'd have been gone, but I can't bring myself to abandon them.

Pass on knowledge.
If you want to do that go be a teacher.

Success for the sake of it. Because he doesn't want to be a failure maybe?

The only good commie is a dead commie.

lol. How old are they?

no idea am curious too she doesn't look absolutely fat/horrid so probably really cringey or something

Sure, but to be happy and to be successful are two different things. Being successful might help you be happy, but success for the sake of it won't make you happy.

I'm married. 13 years now. Been with my girl since we were 16. 24 years total.

People without mates should think about doing the deed.

Happiness is subjective. It is only your opinion that being successful wont bring me happiness. You want to project that which brings you joy must be that which brings me joy. You are wrong. Happiness is a temporary feeling that can be gained from what one desires. We do not all desire the same thing.

Millions of humans of lives and died and never found a mate. Or looked for one for that matter. Why assume that because you did it everyone needs to?

Again you are not wrong, it doesn't "necessarily", and the "opposite" can be very true, but you are made of the same substance that the rest of humanity is. The overwhelming majority of them do not regret that choice i think. If you feel you would regret it, perhaps that is the right choice for you. In my experience however, I have not heard of anyone regretting that decision, but perhaps they do, I cannot read their minds. It certainly doesn't seem like it though. Its an important decision though, I hope we all will think about it carefully whatever our choices will end up being.

You need a family. What you are missing is what is making you depressed. We are designed to be fathers and mates. It is no different than a womans biological clock.

If you are worried about some woman taking half your shit, make her sign a prenuptial agreement and make sure you dont knock her ass up. It is preferable if she already has a kid with a deadbeat dad and a boy. Younger than 10 is your best option. That way if you have to adjust bad behavior it is still possible. You will find a level of fulfillment you never imagined possible. Make sure you set the tone of your dominance though. Tell her if you are going to be with her and help raise her kid you will discipline them. If she doesn't agree, find another.

When I got with mine, we each had two kids, and I have grown very close to her boys. I am the big dog and they damn well know it. I have never had to put my hands on them, but they are cautious because I might if I felt the need.

Getting pussy is nihilistic pleasure at best. It is not fulfilling. Trust me.

Not all women are broke ass bitches. I am with a doctor, and now I dont have to work. There are plenty of them, and they are typically miserable and want a guy that treats them well.

You sound like a cuck.

Agreed. Only a cuck wouldn't protect his assets. Just sign a prenuptial agreement. Bitch wants out, then GTFO.

Taking care of someone else's kids is the literal definition of a cuck. You're a cuck. Deal with it.

Yet nihilistic pleasure is all there is. From a nihilistic point of veiw on life.

Honestly this, but the state of pair bonding as it is i'd be careful in the picking of your mate; less you end up depressed AND poor.

If that's what you think neckbeard. I drive a new truck and get her pussy thrown at me more than I am even interested in it. I chase additional ass for a hobby. I don't spend anything I don't want to spend on them.
KEK, I am a kept man or giggle if you prefer. You dream about being me.

Nihilist and more apt to commit suicide. When you live for yourself and nothing else it is an empty existence. Damn son, go find a friend.

It seems like you need something to cheer you up. Do you need to fuck my wife in her vagina?

A lot of good advice is being offered, hobbies, wife, kids, meaning for your life etc. Attending a church has often brought these things to people. If thats what you decide to look for.

Ok cuck.

>suicide.
What's your point that I'm gonna die one day? Oh no. I didnt see that coming.

how sad, trying to convince anons that you've made it, what kind of pathetic loser would, enjoy your amazing life though

cuckold means you don't know they aren't yours, like cuckoo eggs in another bird's nest, right?

not sure why the definition has been expanded in recent years. seems to just be making people mean (stigmatizing sterile couples from adopting etc)

I wasn't trying to 'convince' you retards that I made it. user called me a liar, I proved him wrong. Don't be so salty user, you have nobody but yourself to blame for your life.

That's just life brother. Most likely depressed because you're getting old. Still can tell yourself that you've got 20 years before it all really starts going downhill...

sauce?

because you still don't realize that

There there, hugs and kisses. You did it user!

you just screw it, man... family is the only thing that fulfill life purposes, to see a kid grows knowing that is your son, that he will be when you wont.
But even if you have a family rn, for when your offspring is out of high school you would be 60, it sucks, u wont be able to enjoy life with a family, you will die not knowing how utterly mending can happiness be.

No wife, no kids, no family. Probably haven’t been to church in 15-20 years? Or never? You bought into modern secularism, got everything you need, it’s all about you & your own happiness ... and yet somehow you feel empty and depressed? What a surprise.

Your generation got ass-fucked, but it’s nothing like what’s happening to kids now. And things will only get worse. It’s not your fault, you were lied to. I hope you find a way to turn things around.

This is true, I've had kids when I was close to your age OP, not recommended.

>Someone's actually successful on my autistic website that I use to jack off to trap porn.
>REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I took the pay cut for a comfier job. I'm actually 'at work' now. Literally just on call. I do about three hours of actual work a week, but still bill them for 40. They also comp me a car and apartment.

You talk like a fag.

If your going to an hero be my hero and wire me some cash. Wanna see how much literally have 0 income affects my depression. If I can play with money and still wanna kill myself I'll be dead by the end of the week.

>watchout for my edges, man!

also, checked, kid.

Damn bro mirroring my life. 20 yr old and all.

I can give you one more posts so you can feel good about all that attention seeking you've been doing. bye felicia

come hang out with me, I know how to party

Also... I was in the same boat (minus 10years), so I quit my lucrative job and jumped into a far more enjoyable field (film)

I still miss my hookers....

I thrive off of (you)s and salt.

Shhh don’t take away the one thing the incels have.
