How do I cope with the fact I will never have a wife/gf/kids? How do I be content with that?
>>
find 50 other things to do, hobbies, work, travel and shit, to take your mind off of it. there are plenty of people who have a wife and family yet spend 0 time with them because they dont have the time to even think about them. so functionally if you were in their career situation you would also have 0 time to think about how you dont have a wife or family.

the key is to keep yourself always busy. go do a PhD, join an MMA gym, start a band, go swimming at the pool every week. i guarantee you you will not have time to think about that girlfriend shit

The core of contentment, as far as I can tell, is refusing to make romance the single valve for everything you need. Most of what people want from a partner

>being known
>being touched
>mattering to someone
>having a witness to your life

are real needs, and romance is one channel for them, not the only one. Deep friendship, chosen family, being needed by a community or a craft, these carry real weight. Not a totally seamless substitute, but the trap is believing there's one door when there are several.

you consume various media right? so surely there are some things in your life you saw and thought "wow that's cool i wish i could do that", like matrial arts or sports or cooking or speaking a foreign language or dancing or whatever. so you go and find a place where people do that thing or where they learn to do that thing and start doing it there.

Everyone dies someday and it won't matter what you had or didn't have.

No such a thing as being content.

Most men that are married with children are discontent too.

Just make do with what life gave you.

How lol? Do they just throw themselves at you over there?

Why do you ask about coping for something that's your own choice? If you chose to never have a wife/gf/kids and that makes you miserable, then change your choice.

>How do I cope with the fact I will neve
You made an interesting typo there. You typed FACT when you meant DECISION.

>How do I cope with the fact I will never have a wife/gf/kids?
Why have you decided that this is the case to begin with?
