i'm not sure I get why - fundamentally think the same as trap15 : on a basic level the point is to sustain yourself until reproductive age then reproduce. That's basically it, anything else is a bonus.
I don't see why believing that would lead to suicide - when you accept it, it's pretty liberating.
Why is it "liberating?" Only because it's a B.S. excuse not to try for anything greater than a little bit of pussy, and once you've done that, you can kick back and retire.
Which leads to three possibilities.
One, you manage it. Okay... what now? The earliest possible time you can achieve this is in your teens, which most people manage quite easily. So what happens after that? You just keep doing it again and again, like an Atari 2600 game?
Two, you don't manage it. So now your entire life is like an American Pie movie, your every moment spent just trying to screw a girl, and you'll either manage it (see point one) or fail, leading either to depression or you becoming creepy.
Three, you for some reason CAN'T manage it (say, erectile dysfunction or you have some bizarre kink). By the "eat, fuck, die" philosophy, these people's entire existence is pointless because they can't fuck. All the sudden, that "liberation" becomes more a form of damnation.
And I point out again that--the result of success isn't particularly something to gloat about, since there's no guarantee that your descendents will carry on your beliefs, ideals, projects or really, much of anything. They're their own individuals. On top of this, you have to deal with their early years where they're whining, screaming little monkeys who can't even take shits without inconveniencing you. So, great, you've achieved a complete non-accomplishment.
That's why I say it would lead to suicide... because you've chosen a philosophy that essentially boils down to "I don't want to do anything worthwhile." The only way it somehow comes out any other way is if its not critically examined (much like most philosophies).
EDIT: Just realized I missed that the
other reason that philosophy is appealing is because it appeals directly to male hormones, especially in young adults, who of course are overflowing with them. Just letting you know now.... you eventually get over it, and reach a point where sex doesn't seem all that great. It's much like a console generation going out of fashion.
