Got some bad news that a friend of mine for the past 13 years passed away from a massive heart attack. He just turned 39.

I'm mentioning it here in a mgtow forum because we are polar opposites. I am, and have been mgtow my entire life since before there was really an name for it. He was trying again again and again for relationships, and finally got married to a chick with two kids after shit hit the wall and hopped off the cock Carousel.

I never really needled him about it beyond the "your wife loosen your leash a bit?" Kind of stuff when we would hang out because this guy honestly desired and wanted to just be a provider for damned near anyone who would take him. And he did get his wish. I have to say, even though our philosophies regarding the opposite sex differ about as drastically as one could think, he was enjoying his life and (co-opted? Imported? Step?) Family/kids and just being that provider dad.

He was very out of shape and both he and his wife (and their families on both sides) were the same. I DID hassle him about getting in shape in an effort to try and spur him into the gym or the track and healthier eating, and I'm really regretting not trying different methods of planting the suggestion, because he was a good guy.

Rest in peace RG, you left the party too damned soon and I still owe you that 6-pack. Poker and steak night won't be the same.

Ps: I guess the take away here fellas is no matter if you choose mgtow or the plantation, please look after your health. Theres no sense dropping after half a life lived when it could be prevented through simple things.
