Why would I put a thread about men shaving their pubes in Latest News?

I'm a non-player who is unimpressed by your alleged status, income, and ego.

Spoken like a true snob.

 

Your kind of mentality is what's wrong with the world.

 

And, this is why people like you stay at the bottom of the food chain. You think this discussion is about status and ego. It is about war and appropriate uniforms.

It comes as no surprise to me why Michigan's education system, economy and future prospects are in the toilet.

​

 

This from a "Libertarian" in other words a guy who does not understand problems deeper than a sound bite. Of course it is f*cking wrong. Everyone knows it, but no one changes it, now do they? One way or another we are all going to play the game called "life" even if it is by default! Some of us get out there, try to come up with new solutions, and actively try to do something, even if the situation looks hopeless. America is the country where the "tough get going, when the going gets tough."

Meanwhile, we have you burying your head in the sand pontificating from an arm chair, and contributing absolutely NOTHING!

Wouldn't want to get your hands dirty by actually making an effort, would you?​

 

The OP

 

I'm not against taking control of your life. It's just that you came off as rubbing it in.

 

I'm not at the bottom of the food chain, and I don't believe in treating those who are like dog(*)(*)(*)(*). It's not as if I haven't dealt with the snooty upwardly mobile type before. I had my fill of them attending a private college. One could very often tell the upwardly mobile by the way they sucked up to those with enough wealth to buy & sell them twice over, while treating those they thought to be 'lower on the food chain' with considerable disrespect.

As I observe it, the thread is about being a conformist, based on the misbegotten notion that it will somehow get you ahead.

Now you're just pointlessly baiting, so I'll ignore you as an unworthy opponent. BIgger fish to fry, as the saying goes.

 

Permit me to be a bit more direct. We in the first world built the society we wanted, and have done a pretty good job for ourselves. The third world is always in these threads tearing down America because they are incapable of solving their own problems. Take for example Bangladesh. Here is photo. These morons are not smart enough to solve the basic problem of overpopulation. They are starving, and they still have a half dozen kids. They are just plain stupid, and you may be assured, America does not want this in our country. Yet all these losers think they are special and deserve to live here. They are not. You can not respect someone who does not respect themselves. Grow up.

​

So, you were at a private college enjoying some of the best of what our country had to offer. It is time for you to decide what team you are on. You love the third world, move there. Otherwise be an adult and start solving problems in the United States instead of complaining while you parade around your private school education. Most of these third worlders would kill you to take your place! Winston Churchill said it best. "If you're not a liberal at 20 you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at 40 you have no brain." I am an independent voter, so what does that tell you?

Sounds to me like you think success in America is about sucking up to the rich. When those of us who enjoy the "good life" actually earned it based on hard work. You are just another "easy answer" liberal who believes in "Everything for everyone" while complaining about a nation that has given you way more opportunity than most on the planet. Get off your ass, or get out!

This thread is clearly about the changing role of masculinity in the 21st century, and what it takes to make a good first impression. It is about grooming, and the style of male body sculpting.

There is a difference between baiting and being provocative. I always love posters like you, "So I'll ignore you as an unworthy opponent." Yet you go on to address me at some length. I think you are the guy at the beach with an inferiority complex who is bundled up and hiding under an umbrella because your priorities are all screwed up You did this to yourself, and it is much easier for you to blame other people. "The currency of the beach is physical appearance," and you cut everyone else because you don't get invited to the fun parties!

You're making the assumption that anyone who criticizes the corporate world is a third world apologist. I live in America and I love America, and I love the opportunity that I have. However, the corporate structure is very conformist and does require a lot of ass kissing. That's why it's better to start your own company to avoid the bulls**t.

 

Thank you. You are correct, and there is a reason for it. I was in the Boy Scouts, and when I got to high school, I was a Boy Scout nerd. Then I got cast in a school play in a comic role. Suddenly, I new everyone. I became treasurer of the sophomore class, and as vice president of the senior class, I controlled the social calendar of my peers. I threw fabulous parties, and invited everyone. I was a social trend setter.

Now, I look at people who have not fared so well socially. I had some breaks, but mainly made my own breaks. I worked at being popular. "Popular" as in like by everyone, not part of an "in" clique. FDR was right, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." So, instead of running off to a shrink for help with a personality disorder, get out there and take some risks and get out there. Be prepared to lose with your early moves, but don't give up.

The best way to motivate is to remind people of what they are missing. Until you believe that the "in" place to be is whereever you are, you will be a wall-flower. You bet I am shaming people in this thread to do what I have done. I also know that polite doesn't work. It is like training a dog. If it craps on the carpet, your shove its face into it until it gets the message. You'll get no apologies from me. I won because I worked smart and hard. People still finagle to get invitations to my parties.

 

Learn to take some social risks.

Is it wrong for a modern boy friend in modern times to be willing to practice and get good at body waxing and shaving for girl friends; and claim it is merely something boy friends should be good for in modern times?

 

I never said a thing about the corporate world. However, I did post that the corporate clothing game is a ridiculous waste of money. The people who say "the corporate structure is very conformist and does require a lot of ass-kissing" is clearly someone who has FAILED at the game. As a general rule corporations hire employees who are basically expected to make five times as much money for the corporation as they are paid. Being that person takes work, and effort. Any business who hires ass kissers, (such as the American auto industry in 2007), fails.

If you think it is difficult to make it in the corporate world, you are in for a rude awakening if you start your own business. I hope by age 40 to be out of the rat-race and buy a quality dry cleaners. Frankly, you sound like a guy who did not make the cut at the Fortune 500, and is making excuses for it.

​

 

Oh, I think the cray-cray has gone way beyond mere assumptions at this point, rocketing full speed past Egomania and crash landing in The Land of Delusion. I'm bored with it, so I'm unsubscribing.

 

Considering what you previously posted, and what you have now posted, you think you are a pretty important guy! Unfortunately, no one else thinks so. I think you are a guy who had everything going for him, couldn't hack the pressure, and went down the tubes. Yes, you should leave this thread. You have been outed as....... Well.......... One who could not succeed. "Bigger fish to fry" indeed! You run from thread to thread as you run from reality in your own life. It is so obvious.

I cannot agree with this more. I am stuck in the corporate retail nightmare. That's why I am focusing on writing my novel, so I can escape this dreadful sham of a job.

 

One of my biggest fears is having to work at Wal Mart or any retail store that operates with an iron fist and shady tactics.

 

So, would any of you have a problem with a female boss who insists us guys have to get over modern women being their modern selves in modern times?

 

Do you have a boss like that?

 

Not lately.

 

Now that makes two posters in a row that attack the rules of the game of life by blaming their failure on corporate conformity. What a surprise.

I visit college campuses to recruit for my employer. I see these young people who have finished college, and just expect me to offer them a $100,000 a year, an office, and a management title. Truth is successful people have already developed their successful style, BEFORE they got to college. I can spot the winners and losers in less than five minutes of conversation. The winners have tailored their activities to the needs of business. All college does is polish skills such as how to ask questions, research, sell yourself, and learn to recognize pertinent details.

Half of this years college graduates will not get career opportunities. They were off taking courses in "website design" while the guys business wants were struggling through Accounting, Management, and Marketing. Those who "played" in college lose, and get to wait tables.

Corporations are an employment nightmare for those who have not learned the rules of the game. The first rule of the game is how to make a professional first impression. You do that in a business suit, clean shirt, and by wearing a tie. What you do after work is your business, but you had best be prepared for a 60 hour week as an intern with a small paycheck. Anything else washes out. American business expects employees to make five times as much for the company as they are paid. This is work, and the company must increase revenues by at least 10% each year to break even. Anyone who does not understand that, won't last long.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, wait on those who can.​

 

I share that fear, because I worked my way in school in that environment. It was a hell of a motivator to study hard. God, how I hated Accounting. Now I use those skills everyday with ease.

Knowing how a business works, fails and succeeds
is like understanding how the gears in a clock can tell time.
You must understand it as easily, and automatically as driving a car.​

 

I would agree with you, but every fallacy of those of the opposing view seems to give credence to the sincerity of Jesus the Christ regarding His views on the wealthiest.

 

You're making a lot of assumptions when you don't even know us or what we have done outside of our current job.

You don't know my job history, my education or anything, so how can you presume to know all of this about me by reading only a few statements I have made?

I am a woman, I do not own a business suit or a tie. See? You have already assumed that I am a man when I am not.

I do however own a business dress which I wore to plenty of interviews.

 

The real sin here is that some people have no money, and it is not always their fault. However, usually it is because they did something stupid.

There is nothing wrong with having money, or having lots of it. The crime is one's attitude about the money. I'll pass a little cash to beggars, but I always size them up first. How worn are their shoes? How clean are their clothes? What is their age? Frankly, I would rather send a check to "Feeding America" knowing the money will go for food to people effected by the bad economy, joblessness, or victims of the housing bubble crash.

My wife and I were driving the other day and passed a healthy 25 year old guy standing on a corner with a sign that said, "Hungry, please help." We both responded the same way, "He can work, he'll never get a dime."
