Sadly I can say this is right. Ex went for my ex best friend. He died, so ha ha, but still I would have been much worse off if I still liked him. He died though, so too bad so sad. Funny part? I thought that it said a lot more about my ex and her fucked up state, than anything else. Sad..
The thing to remember is there's a price for everything. Meeting people at work seems like a good idea, but it's best not to get too close. Remember, most people will dump you in an instant if they decide their career is more important.
Church is fine if you're prepared to let someone fill your head with some fucked up religious bullshit fairytale that has no relevance to the real world, but again, you have to just nod your head all the time. Religious people will dump you as soon as they sense you questioning their faith.
The real answer, as you said, is to learn to be your own best friend. This is where you get the real value of travelling alone. Constantly meeting new people and having to adapt to your environment helps you become more self-sufficient.

Besides, the world is fascinating and full of possibilities. Too many friends can get in your way and limit you while the world is out there. You should be out there exploring the possibilities on your own. By all means, leave the door open for friends if they share your dreams and ambitions, but be prepared to move on when they don't. Reach a point where you're going to have a good time with our without friends. Then you'll have it made.
Fuck I love this guy. I've not read anything this funny in ages. Even better is the fact that so many here don't even know that it's a piss-take and some posters are even giving witness. What a world...what a world...
Thank you dawg, I feel you, bro. And a shoutout to my potd homie upthread, werd up yall.
I guess a lot of people don't know what it's like to be a real balla. The can't relate, they can't even comprehend, becuase by the time the figured out what happend an hour ago, I'm already two hours ahead of em, gnowhutI'msayin? Money never sleeps, dawg. And you gotta be a Renaissance man too, word? It's like, one night I might be sitting by my marble fireplace alone reading Thucydides or Lao Tsu, just drinking one of my rare sherries in a snifter glass. Just basking in the subdued taste and refined pathos, imprisioned in my solitary tower of superiority, dig? And then the next night, I'm balls deep in four sobbing lesbian sluts who are begging for my cawk not because of all the drugs I been feeding them, but because they can naturally smell my Alpha musk. It's like, women recognize, dawg. They recognize everywhere, even if people on this board can't. It ain't all Beijing IPOs and Bauxite mining in Tanzania, bro. Sometimes the solitary side gets to you, makes even an alpha shed a manly tear or two, am I right bro?

I've been quite the job hopper. In my 20s and 30s, I had a lot of friends I met from work. But since I turned 40, I can think of 1 or 2 people whom I'd even want to become friends with.
Most of your like-age peers are married with kids - their lives revolve around their kids. Unless yuo want to hear 4 hours worth of blathering about their son's soccer game every week, not a good option.
Other married tards will instantly try to set you up with their wives' 40-something girlfriends, as if your only goal *must be* to get married like them. When you politely decline their offer to set you up with some 200 lb. hambeast who has 2 kids from a previous marriage, they sour on you, as if to say, "you're 42 years old - why *WOULDN'T* you want to be married? Yes, this woman may weigh 200 lbs., but just think of the good times you can have spending time with (read: financially supporting) her and her kids." They can't even fathom why you would choose to be alone and do your own thing > supporting some other guy's kids.
This morning, I'm watching CNBC and they're reviewing last night's Super Bowl ads. "Tee-hee, OMG that was so funny!" Umm, yeah, only if you are 12 years old or have an IQ of <80. Honestly, I don't think I'd want to be friends with mental imbeciles like that.

After age 40, I have met two people I would considered good friends. I also got rid of friends from my earlier times. Thought they were 'real' friends, but they were not. Like previously posted, you MUST BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND.

Young men make friends in order to meet women. Older married men make friends with wives in order to keep their wives and children entertained.
If you're over 40 and not married it hardly seems worth the bother to make friends. It's a lot of time and trouble, and they'll probably end up screwing you somehow in the end.

What about making female friends? Is it worth it? I mean, say some young hot chick wants you to be her "old dude" friend but doesn't think of you in a sexual way, is that worth your time or not? Why? Why not?
