I know two people who are on that Hebrew Israelite shit one is more involved and he believes white Jews are fake Jews but also is a big supporter of Israel. The other one is more just like picking up these Hebrew Israelite beliefs from Facebook or something (he told me Russians are originally black) and he is on some fuck Jews and Israel all the way type of deal
They also both believe hitler was just misunderstood
So it’s a weird fragmented set of beliefs and probably changes depending who you ask.
For men, life ends at 40
I really couldn't count how many times I've heard the worn-out saying that "Life begins at 40". I never actually believed this statement. Even as a very young child, it seemed apparent to me that this statement was something which people who reach the age of 40 tell themselves as a personal lie to make themselves feel better about themselves, a sort of way of imagining something that isn't true because people would rather believe a comforting lie than the truth. Now that I am actually over 40, I know that my childhood self was right: There is nothing good waiting for the person who reaches 40, no better life (or any other kind of new life) that starts once you reach 40. Indeed, quite the contrary is true. I sometimes have the feeling that we already intuitively know all that we need to know about human nature as children, and that the process of growing up is simply the process of accumulating the lies of our society and culture and conditioning ourselves to believe the things that we're expected to believe rather than the things which we know to be true.
What I have learned with experience that I didn't understand as a child is that getting older is harder on men than on women. At least, it seems that way to me. In general, both sexes seem to feel the need to find reasons why getting older is harder for themselves than for the opposite sex, and so as a man, perhaps it is only natural that I feel that life is harder for me than for women, but at least from my perspective, women only gain advantages as they age. First of all, there's the obvious and undeniable statistic that in nearly every country in the world, women live significantly longer than men. As of this writing, the only place in the world where men live longer than women is in some southern African countries, due to AIDS. Excluding external events like that, women generally live longer than men, often quite a bit longer.
Indeed, health problems are generally the single biggest problem with aging. As human beings transition into middle age, there is a huge statistical rise in most forms of fatal or potentially-fatal health conditions. Few people die of cancer or heart attacks before 40, but even today, in our world of modern medicine, many people die of heart attacks or cancer in their 50s or even in their 40s. The 40s roughly mark the period in life where people will first start to notice a significant decline in their physical (and often mental) fitness. Energy levels tend to decrease, and there is a significant overall increase in both life-threatening and non-life-threatening health problems which require increased attention and care from medical professionals. Far from being the point where life begins, a person's 40s usually mark the end of their personal development and hopes for the future, beginning a period where people simply exist without having great plans for personal or professional improvements in the future.
So why do people say that "Life begins at 40"? Well, that might actually be one of the reasons why: Most people are not inherently ambitious, and so a person's 40s mark a period where they no longer feel personal or social pressure to "succeed" or "advance". A person in their 40s can finally relax and uselessly exist without feeling the need to develop themselves or make any kind of personal progress, which is great for most people, because most human beings love uselessly existing more than anything else in the world. The sense of just being able to exist and passively consume entertainment like television, music, and funny Internet videos is the highest and truest goal of most human beings, and they feel a personal joy at finally being permitted to live this lifestyle which they've always wanted to live. Many people say that turning 40 marks the "beginning" of one's life because at that age, people no longer feel the need to impress other people or live according to other people's rules or social values, because they no longer care enough about what other people think to make other people's opinions the guiding force in their lives. Speaking for myself personally, I never lived for other people's values; even as a child, I understood that other people's opinions of me are meaningless and that I have no reason to live my life based on someone else's values, so unless you're stupid enough to not realize this before you reach the age of 40, then it seems to me that reaching 40 has no real benefits to a person, that there is no "new life" waiting once you reach 40.
But coming back to my point about the two sexes, I maintain that aging is harder for men than for women. Women will often say the opposite: Women often say that once a woman turns 40 (in fact, I often hear the age of 30 cited here), she becomes absolutely uninteresting to men, because men would rather date younger women. This is an example of how women try to use people's sympathies to garner pity. The claim that aging is harder for women because they become uninteresting to men once they get older is a ridiculous claim for 2 reasons:
-
Women don't want to be with men anyway. In fact, one of the main reasons why women love turning 40 is because their 40s usually mark the period when they stop being interested in men or having any desire to have a man in their life. But even when they're younger, in their 20s and 30s, women are usually not particularly enamored with the idea of having a steady partner. Women tend to prefer freedom to the shackles of a relationship, and although they may appreciate the attention of men occasionally, even young women usually spend more time avoiding the attention and company of men than seeking it out. So the idea that aging is hard for women because they become uninteresting to men is irrelevant since women generally don't want to be with men in the first place. Women's claim that they become less interesting to men as they get older is simply a way to attract sympathy and pity rather than something which really troubles them about getting older. There are exceptions, of course, but in most cases where I have seen a woman actually feel seriously disturbed by her decreased ability to attract men as she gets older, it's usually been women who used their youth and beauty to make money, either women who worked as models or actresses, or women who married wealthy husbands (or simply had wealthy boyfriends), men who supplied those women with money because they were young and pretty. So when women are worried about their decreased ability to engage male interest as they get older, it's usually not because they are actually worried about being romantically forlorn, but because they are concerned about the financial impact this decrease in male attention will have in their lives.
-
The claim simply isn't true. Even women in their 40s and 50s often receive significant romantic and sexual attention from men. Certainly, the overall quantity of this attention may decrease in terms of the number of men expressing romantic and sexual interest toward those women, but I have seen plenty of 50-something women (and even women older than that) who had no shortage of romantic and/or sexual suitors. In general, when it comes to dating and romance, men are the ones who desire, and women are the ones who are desired. Again, there are exceptions, but this pattern holds true across most of the world's cultures and throughout most of human history. What this means is that in reality, women can always get attention, at any age, simply because they are women. It might not be specifically the attention that they want, but they can always get it.
That latter point bears special mention, because it's worth pointing out that as a general rule, "Women date whom they want, while men date whom they can". Women are used to being able to date whomever they want, because a man who is subjected to the romantic and sexual attentions of a woman can hardly say no to her, so women who want a particular man can usually have him with enough persistence. Men, on the other hand, usually have a woman (or even several women) in their minds whom they were never able to get close to, simply because those women had no interest in them. Women often say "Women experience rejection just as men do", but a woman's idea of "rejection" is that one particular man did not return her romantic or sexual intentions, whereas men in general have precisely the opposite idea of rejection, namely that there is not one single woman who wants to be with them. Most men are desperate enough that they would date almost anyone, but there isn't even one woman who would choose those men, because as a commonly-cited saying goes, 90% of women pursue only 10% of men. (In fact, statistics published by dating sites suggest that the number of men who generate significant interest in women may be even less than 10% of all men.) The idea that there is a large demographic of single women who would like to date available men is a myth; yes, there are a lot of single women, but women are much pickier than men when it comes to choosing partners, and unlike men, most women would simply choose to stay single rather than being with a man who isn't ideal for them.
This refutes an idea popularized by a particular xkcd comic which claims that "your dating pool actually grows until middle age". The basis for this claim is that when a person is younger, the age range of people whom they can potentially date is smaller than when they become older. The xkcd strip uses what is now called the "Half-your-age-plus-seven" rule, which is so important that there's a Wikipedia subsection about it, and which simply claims that the minimum age for your romantic partner should be half your age, plus 7. (As the Wikipedia article makes clear, this idea dates back to at least the beginning of the 20th century; contrary to current popular belief, it did not originate with the xkcd strip, although the xkcd strip is probably responsible for popularizing this idea for the current generation.) So, for example, a person who is 30 should not date someone younger than 22, because 30 / 2 + 7 = 22. Although this rule is not rigidly adhered to, it tends to represent a sort of unconscious idea which many people have in their minds which affects their decisions about whom they will be (or want to be) with. Applying this rule, a person who is 20 can only date people within a relatively narrow age range, whereas a person who is 30 has a dateable age range spanning more than 20 years, and a 40-year-old person has, potentially, an even larger dating pool. A 40-year-old person dating a 50-year-old person doesn't seem very strange despite the 10-year age difference, but a 20-year-old person dating a 30-year-old person seems more inappropriate. So the point of the xkcd strip is that as you approach middle age, your options for dating people actually increase.
What xkcd cartoonist Randall Munroe apparently did not take into consideration when making that strip is the changing ideas and attitudes about dating which people experience as they get older. Yes, in a purely mathematical sense, the group of people whom you might date becomes larger when expressed in simple terms of age differences, but as people get older, they usually develop different ideas about dating than they had when they were younger. The first time a person has a serious relationship, they tend to go into that relationship with a lot of idealized, unrealistic notions. There tends to be an intuitive sense that "love will keep us together", that as long as two people love each other enough, there should be no reason why they would ever break up. As people gain more experience in relationships, however, they learn the hard lesson that love is not enough: Even if two people love each other very much, there may be reasons why it's difficult for them to get along in a relationship, due to incompatible differences in lifestyles or future plans. A big example is the desire to have children: If one person wants to have children but the other does not, this will inevitably become a problem for the future of the relationship. These are the kinds of things which people typically don't think about when they're first starting a relationship, but which become a problem later when the relationship becomes more serious and long-term. As people get older, unless they are very lucky and manage to stay with one person for life, they will usually start to accumulate a history of failed relationships, and this will inevitably change their attitudes about love and relationships as life goes on.
The healthiest attitude to take toward failed relationships is that they are learning experiences: When you date different people and have different experiences with them, you learn a lot about not only other people, but also yourself, because when you're in a relationship with someone, you will probably find yourself doing things which you would not do (and would not be willing to do) with anyone else. You might surprise yourself when you find what love makes you do, because your emotional state when you fall in love is completely different and drives you to do different things than before. So having a string of failed relationships isn't necessarily a bad thing; it could simply mean that you needed those experiences to learn about how you get along (and don't get along) with other people so that you can understand what kind of person you should be with and how you should treat your partner in a relationship. But many people become disappointed and bitter as time goes by; when they go through one breakup after another, they start to lose the sense that "These are learning experiences" and start to develop a sense that "No one loves me or wants to be with me, and all of this heartbreak is such a futile waste of time and energy that it's not even worth trying anymore". Women, in particular, will start to feel this way, because unlike men, who typically lack the ability to feel personally happy or motivated in life without a woman acting as a muse, and who thus are usually emotionally dependent on women to have a reason to remain alive, women are usually capable of feeling personally happy and motivated even without a romantic relationship in their lives, and so as people enter middle age, if they have not yet found success in romance, women are more likely to simply give up on relationships altogether and embrace a future of being single for the rest of their lives, which means that most of those 40+ women who potentially could date men from a larger age range are actually not "available singles" because they've voluntarily withdrawn themselves from the concept of dating and relationships.
Most teenage and 20-something women are open to the idea of dating and will usually not say no to a man who is reasonably good-looking, polite, and charismatic if they know him and he asks them out, but single women who are 40+ are usually bored and disinterested in the concept of dating. Unless a man really adds something significant to her life, a woman of that age usually won't want to bother starting a relationship with him. And what can a man really offer? Unless he's very wealthy or has something else that's really special about him, there's nothing that a man can offer to a woman that would make her want to lose her personal freedom for the sake of being tied to him. The only exception is those few women who still have a very high sex drive in their 40s; both men and women typically lose much of their libido when they enter middle age, but there are a handful of women who retain high sex drives into their 40s, and those women may still actively seek out men, not for relationships, but for sex. If a woman in her 40s still actively seeks a man for her life, it's almost certain that she wants either money or sex, or both. There are generally no other reasons why 40+ women want men, because again, they're usually tired of the idea of romance, and there's not much else that a man could really bring to their lives. Many 40+ women are single mothers, and so they seek a provider to fill the financial gap which children create, and if a woman with no children who has enough money is still looking for a man, then what she seeks is not love, but sex. In her mind, she might think that she wants love, but she will aggressively pursue sexual activity with men, and once the sex has been had, she will suddenly feel like she's not in love anymore. The body has a way of lying to us: We think that what we feel is love, but once we're sexually satisfied, we suddenly realize that we only wanted this simple physical pleasure, and the idea of being devoted and loyal to this person is not something we're driven to do, or even willing to do.
Men are different from women. Men are more likely than women to want a serious, committed relationship that involves the two people having obligations toward each other. Women may get into relationships because they like the financial stability that relationships bring, but women are more likely to want relationships that involve a lot of "alone time" or "time apart" from one's partner, whereas men are usually more clingy and will want relationships that involve shared personal and emotional time. Now, I will not deny that there are men who sleep around and desire casual sex with women with no expectation of a serious relationship, and these men get a bad reputation in popular media because of public social values that imply that a serious relationship is better than casual sex, but in reality, those men who only seek uncommitted sex are likely to be more popular with women, because those men want what women want: Opportunities for pleasure with no obligation. Women might like the idea of having a fling with some attractive man to add some fun to life, but those women don't want the obligations and complications that come with having to share the non-sexual parts of life with a partner, and so among people who are middle-aged, men who just want casual sex may actually be more successful at getting what they want than men who want a serious relationship. This is a bit different from under-30 life, where women are usually more open to the idea of having a long-term relationship. Once a woman reaches her 40s, she will probably have given up on relationships, but again, if her sex drive hasn't left her yet, then she will still pursue physically-attractive men for "short-term dating" which is mostly oriented around pleasure rather than loyalty or commitment.
Unfortunately for 40+ men, the 40s also begin to mark the period of a man's life where he is likely to start noticing problems with erectile dysfunction. These problems are linked to decreasing testosterone levels in the body as a man gets older, and although there are treatments for these problems, even with medical treatment, men will often find themselves less able to perform sexually as they get older. Then too, women who want men simply for sex and fun will often pursue younger men (as opposed to women who seek long-term stability, who will usually look for older men), leading to the "cougar" phenomenon of older women who use younger men as sources of sex and pleasure rather than committed relationships. If you're a physically-healthy male in your 40s who just wants sex and is able to please women sexually, then you can probably get what you want, but for men who are in their 40s and want a serious, committed, long-term relationship which is more about two people sharing their lives together rather than just having sex with each other, the future does not look good. Women who are 40+ have usually been divorced at least once, and that negative experience will often sour them on the whole idea of permanent relationships, leaving them unwilling to get into that situation again. And if a woman is 40+ and still has never been married, then there's probably a reason for that: She probably never wanted to get married, because if she wanted to, she would have. Either way, 40+ women are unlikely to be in any hurry (or even have any intention) of getting into a serious relationship ever again.
If you're a 40+ man who is happy just being on your own and you similarly have no intention of getting into a relationship again, then you might be able to find peace in middle age as a loner. But if you have come to find that you are emotionally dependent on having a woman in your life, if you've come to realize that you cannot feel emotionally fulfilled in your life unless you have a romantic partner with whom you can share your life (and men are much more likely than women to have this requirement in life), then you are unlikely to ever find what you need in life. You've also probably been divorced at least once, and the divorce was probably initiated by your wife rather than by you, because most divorces in opposite-sex marriages are initiated by the woman, not the man. And so now the question looms large in one's mind: What happens now? How can I carry on with my life when I am alone and unloved?
When I was younger, I hoped that things would get better with age. I hoped that as my sexual desires diminished, I might be able to find peace in my life as a single man. Now that I'm actually 40+, I'm sorry to say this, but I might as well say the truth: It doesn't get better. In fact, it actually gets worse. Yes, you may find that your sex drive decreases with age, that you have less of a desire to experience sexual activity with women, but love is not just based on sex, and even if your desire to have sex with people diminishes, what doesn't decrease is that need to have someone to go together through life with, someone to share your moments and feelings with. My sex drive was never particularly high to begin with; it was always unusually low for a man, and indeed, every single partner I ever had complained that I didn't want sex enough. Now that I'm in my 40s, I'm less focused on sex than ever. And precisely at the time in my life when I most desire and need non-sexual female partnership in my life is precisely the age when most women are giving up on commitment and just looking for sex and fun without any obligations or expectations after that.
Some people have told me that I should try dating younger women: Since younger women are less likely to feel burned out on relationships, and since women often tend to prefer older men in general, perhaps a 40-something man would match well with a 20-something woman. I'm not necessarily against this idea in principle, and I've made some efforts in this direction, but in general, I feel like it's rather futile to try to date twentysomethings when you're in your 40s. A lot of women have told me flat-out that I'm too old for them, which is fair, but even when they didn't, I often feel that there's something missing. Obviously, people tend to gather wisdom as they get older, and so there may be a lack of wisdom when dating younger people (which is a problem for me, as I've noted in the past that I am a sophophile), but the problem is not just a lack of wisdom: I've dated women who were around 20 who were full of wisdom because they had brilliant minds that understood things which most people will never understand no matter how long they live. To be sure, it was a great pleasure to share company with such a person, to be able to experience the company of someone with a brilliant mind who understands things in ways that well under 1% of the world's people ever will, but wisdom and mentality aside, it's also partly a matter of experience. Younger people are generally less experienced than older people, and here I mean not only experience with other people, but with yourself: Again, going through various relationships teaches you a lot about yourself, about your own emotional responses to different situations, and until you've been in various relationship situations, you won't know how your own emotions react to particular situations. You can read a lot of books and have a deep understanding about human nature in general, but if you haven't lived a lot and done a lot with your life, then what you lack is a deep understanding of yourself and how you will feel in situations that you've never been in yet.
Obviously, the situation is not completely hopeless. Anything could happen. People often try to comfort me with stories about people who found lasting, true love for the first time in their 60s, but those stories don't inspire me, because I can only wonder: How much time will those people have to share that love? When you're in your 20s, you still could potentially give most of the rest of your life to your partner, but if you fall in love in your 60s, you have maybe another 10 years or so which you could share with that person, and yeah, I suppose that would be better than nothing, but somehow the idea just seems so terribly sad to me, the idea of finally meeting the person you were meant to meet all your life and knowing that all you can give to this person is your last few feeble years. I may expect a lot from my partner, but she has the right to expect a lot from me, too: I want to be able to give her a lot, romantically, emotionally, and otherwise. A relationship goes in both directions. I don't want to waste someone's time if I don't have a lot to give them.
To me, as a 42-year-old man, the whole idea of a man even being alive in his 40s just seems so intolerably stupid to me. What reason do men even have to be alive at that age? There's nothing they can look forward to, nothing that will get better. Everything will only get worse after that point. What reason do men have to be alive after 40? For a single man, I don't see much reason at all. If a man has a family, then it's a bit different: Then the man might keep living just to serve his family, but I never had a family, and I never will. So really, what reason do I have to stick around at all? What could I possibly look forward to that would make this life worth it after turning 40? If I remain healthy, I might still have another 40 years ahead of me, but what would be the point of sticking around that long? What would be the point of living the way I do, so desperately alone and unhappy, knowing that my chances of meeting someone with whom I could truly share love are diminishing constantly, and that even if I ever met someone, I will only have less and less to offer her as time goes by? And if I don't meet someone, then what would be the point of living as a single man, without any direction or purpose in the world, without the ability to find any meaning or reason in live, without even the personal capacity to feel joy or satisfaction in life, an emotion that, for me (as for many other men), is only unlocked through love shared with a woman? What reason do I have for still being here at all? I see none whatsoever. Yes, I could choose to do anything; I could do "anything" with my life, but why would I do so when I have no reason to do so?
Given that I just wrote about the problems inherent in close relationships and how people become more antagonistic toward each other the closer they get to each other, I know many people would say that I should be happy to be single. Many people would say "You're in the prime of your life right now. You have a job, you have your health, and you have no obligations to anyone. You're free. You could do whatever you want. You should be the happiest man in the world right now". Maybe I should be, but I'm not, because the one thing that I need to make my life meaningful is the one thing I don't have in my life. I don't even really want or need freedom, and I don't have enough money to really be free anyway. But all the money in the world wouldn't give me what a man really needs to be happy. Women after 40 will go on to live happy, free lives, but men don't and won't. As I enter a future where my hopes and prospects grow ever dimmer, I can honestly say that I don't think I've ever been more unhappy in my life than I am now. For men, life ends at 40.

that's(the perspective) something i'd expect from at least half the people on this forum but alas
really warped
i'm not sure why i find it so surprising when men continue to bring up the angle of suicide rates for men being higher as they get older (as opposed to women being much more likely to attempt/succeed as a child or teenager)
and in the same breath those people will also say things like (ahem idiots like jones) women who don't have children are failures
now if you think about it, having children certainly motivates most women (and my own personal opinion, does NOT motivate most men) into providing/sustaining for said children. it's a good reason to not off yourself, later in life, if you happen to find yourself responsible for children. unless you aren't very invested in them
just kind of a funny situation, what with all the male voices, in particular the ones on this site, who trash talk women and also bleed out about how much worse the male experience is, as if it isn't specifically a self oriented perspective that holds itself "responsible" to a concept of male adequacy, some sort of standard, over actual effort and presence ( real input). especially funny when most of the old tropes about the difficulties for men stem from "sacrifice" as if the entire life lived is one of sacrifice. as if only men can and do sacrifice (how can a woman sacrifice herself for others when it's her JOB to give her life to the family/children. ???)
honestly thats not quite a harp on the dynamic of "men" (whatever that may mean), other than the frequent painting of women as not having real or valid hardships, and other qualities that men tend to idolize - to the point of seeing us as inferior. really makes you think.
