Is there a magic number where able bodied single whackos should just give up?

I accepted, embraced and revelled in it decades ago. I am single and most definitely a whacko, but not able bodied. Thank goodness for that, otherwise well meaning friends and pushy family would twist my arm into more dates with people I have no interest in.

By the way, we all die alone. It doesn't matter if anyone else is with us at the time.

I don't think there is such a thing, technicalities aside.

You want to give up? Give up.

Makes no difference to me.

How important is it to have all of those things? You can not get married and have kids and vice versa. You can have kids and still die alone.

Enjoy yourself or give up. Whatever works for you.

I haven't given up as such. I don't try at all because I'm yet to see any value in doing so.

The old man has started to drop hints again. They will be ignored.

I'm almost 30 and I've decided by choice not to marry or have children. I think I'm old enough to decide or accept that fate.

To each their own. I was married, didn't have kids, married and then she couldn't have kids. Next one, she got pregnant with twins on our wedding night. I was thirty, I had ACCEPTED that I probably wouldn't be a father, and then, it happened. Life is way too short to define what you're not going to do. That's a self full-filling prophecy.
As Samuel Clemens stated:
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
Live life and enjoy each day with vibrance and anticipation of what may happen. Rather than just "Existing waiting to die"
