The Anthony Bourdain Thread (RIP)

I'm curious as to how the hell you hang yourself from a door anyways (assuming it was a door since it was stated he hung himself in the bathroom). It seems to me that this would be a lot harder of a way to go out than to just OD, jump of a bridge, or even hang yourself off of a balcony or somewhere where you are higher up. Not to mention the guy was 6'4. Depending on the height of the door he probably could have reached the ground even if on his tiptoes. I don't know too much about suicides, but I know that in traditional hangings the noose was was positioned and the height measured in relation to a person's weight to ensure the neck broke upon falling. Otherwise a person could remain alive for hours or even days if not properly carried out. It doesn't really matter in the end I suppose. I just don't think hanging is the easiest or most natural way to commit suicide, and it seems more likely that he would have botched it than it being successful.

Rollo has an article on Bourdain who he calls Lifetime Beta and Big Fish at the same time:

I thought this was one of Rollo's strongest posts in a long time. He tends to have a dry way of writing, and he is long winded. This post really held my interest, and he's right about the extra red pill bitterness that comes when you take the pill at a quite old age.
He's also right that even at that old age, it's better to take the pill, than to just be viewed as a nice guy provider. Many older men were raised to see this as an honorable self identity, and it's a rude awaking to be in late middle age or early senior years and suddenly have your eyes opened after been sucked dry by some young hussy.
Bourdain certainly seems to fit this pattern.

RIP Anthony Bordain. He inspired me to want to get back into travel which in a way helped get me out of my broken marriage.
Bordain's downfall was caused by emotional instability and beta male onitis. He let himself get too emotional with women he thought were cool, smart and edgy but for those of us who know game are actually dominant, manipulative shrews. In my experience, an older woman liking much younger guys is a huge red flag.
I pray for his daughter and pray that the fucked up women in his life will see their roll, repent and become more compassionate people as a result. Unfortunately, I doubt this will happen.

It's easy, you hang yourself from the knob, with a belt.
Don't ask how I know.

Just watching the season combo episode where they ask him these morbid end of life questions ...knowing he died only a few weeks ago.
If you could see in this eyes... he was always to crack a joke..maybe to avoid letting us see the real Anthony Bourdain

I'd like to point out guys that, for every Bourdain who is covered by the press, there are 100,000 men his age who commit suicide and nobody even pays attention.
Then another 500,000 men who drop dead of heart attacks or are living in the gutter drinking themselves to death, after having their lives ripped apart by some scum bitch like Argento. I have a half-dozen friends who have met this fate.
Even here in Rooshland, people don't know the full scope of death and obliteration that is waged against 60-something men. Once he passes 60, a man is utterly superfluous in the eyes of every woman, doctor, nurse, social worker, and wife, except his daughters. Just like the drone bees are discarded out of one side of the hive, as soon as they become weak or injured, so does our society dump men in VAST UNMENTIONABLE QUANTITIES when they hit that age.
Every women in the world looks at a 60-year old man and mentally, in the back of their heads, they think: "Isn't he dead yet? He can't protect me and can't earn a paycheck for me. Why is he still alive?". If he's rich they think "How can I steal his money and kill him so it's all mine?".
In summary, this is what happened to Bourdain: Asia found out he wasn't as rich as she thought, so she dumped him like a useless mule. He understood all this, and crushed by the experience, hung himself.
Not unlike Robin Williams' "suicide by ex-wife".

The late TV chef Anthony Bourdain was worth just $1.21 million when he hanged himself last month, new legal filings revealed Thursday.
Previous estimates had pegged his fortune at $16 million.

I have no idea how much Bourdain got paid per episode, but that is certainly a confusing fact. Sure, some guys overstretch but where did it all go?

What stood out to me was that if his daughter had passed before him his estate was to be left to her nanny....not her mother or any of his other ex-wives/girlfriends.

Can a world travelling man be that naive to not learn about shell corporations to hide his money? Surely if you are spending time in Gilbrater, you quickly learn how the island stays afloat economically.
Anthony did go through a previous divorce which may have drained his wealth. $1.6 million for a guy who's own production company created his show, it all seems tragic. But women know how to spend man's money and if Tony was not a man with a backbone it is easy to see how women could take him for a ride financially.
A continued sad story of a weak man who could help himself from dealing with toxic witch-like women.

You want to know the only thing you can assume about a broken down old man? It's that he's a survivor.
