My hope is that time will chase out greying boomers from the universities. British high schools are actually much stricter than they were 10 or 15 years ago, the core of British society has responded to the great recession apart from the periphery and the pensioner. A great many of us are developing under post-recession austerity and in the long run our schools will become more like they are in China, it's the post-war prosperity these professors were blessed by when they were 10 which makes the older generation assume for an easy victory and adopt all the soft policies which make the moment nicer and the future terrible.
The problem I see is that the older generation won its teenage rebellion and now the authority promotes insolence. Don’t tread on me, you’re not the boss of me and never tell me I’m not good enough are only okay if you happen to have very wealthy parents anyway, but the Chinese setup their own success by having some organisation, some sense of priority.
Radical individualism. This is the same reason why we had such trouble making people smoke outside.
Accept absolutely no authority but your own, all the people with training, knowledge or expertise are not worth listening to when the aim of society is libertarian chaos. All these kids need a gap year in China or the former Soviet Union.
There are ways to be romantic without spending any money. Have you carved her name into your arm and use the blood to write a poem? It’ll be just what she fancies.
The phrase “man up” and the related idea that it’s somehow less bad for a man to be vandalised in some way. The greater threshold of pain and suffering before sympathy or support kicks in from third parties and the general tendency of third parties to side against you.
The police are asking us now to step in and save them when they’re getting their arses kicked. Not that I’m against this in principle but it’s something to hear the officials ask if they can rely on your own mettle to back up the police. It’s almost as if the country was slowly going bankrupt and turning into a third world country.
Long story short never go to any great lengths reassuring a woman. You're a shoulder to cry on - a silent shoulder to cry on - and when the situation is terribly bad you offer sympathetic noises instead of solutions. True or not the less you say, the better. Another favourite of woman is the strong silent type, he is the relatively innocent favourite. To see woman and the world as it is, but keep your mouth shut is great policy.
Playing it coool is the only way to counter the feminine preference for sociopathy. You're competing against her favourite which is the heartless man who pretends to care just enough to prevent her from becoming too intimidated, now we can't all be as mad as him because nothing in civilisation would work and we'd go back to the caves but we can at times forget civilisation and behave as he does. Bring out the devil because that's who she listens to particularly when she's in Eden - the irony of decadent western society is its respect for and arousal by the barbarian, civilisation-building traits are least desired by the civilised.
You could just as easily be lying to conceal honourable intentions. That's the point I'm making. If you really really like the girl you have to make some effort to disguise it because she has come to you. If you can't honestly claim that you don't care then you have to pretend to care less than you do through a course of discomforting lies and compliments which leave the receiver never quite sure whether it was a compliment or not.
It's not really about the truth or lie because women are suspicious of the kindness displayed by soliciting males be they genuine or not. The sense that he's trying to curry favour because he doesn't think he's good enough is what she does want to perceive, if she was objectively the most beautiful girl in the world telling her this truth early on would be akin to shooting yourself in the foot. Telling her she's the most beautiful girl in the whole wide room would be better, technically it's still true but it's not quite kind is it? It's less true than the truth but more entertaining, it's the massaged truth you're aiming at around women.
Particularly in my western world where relationships are about confidence and fun is the lie of most use. Confidence is a feeling and fun is playing with people's feelings, in the context of frolic you have to realise how deflating the whole truth and nothing but the truth would be.
In other cultures where love is colder and more practical - where life is based on utility(not fun)and the achievement of objectives(instead of sensory stimulation) - life will accord closer to the matter of fact. Clinical.
Women avoid truth like the plague when it's for the purpose of not looking like a bad person - to personally fear the consequences of telling the truth is so woman that women often turn to sociopathic men for their complete indifference to feelings.
But there are selfless reasons to lie. Comforting words to the mother burying her son, everything will be ok in heaven, praising fat people and exaggerating their efforts in the gym, making a big deal out of that depressed persons new trainers, holding a country together in war. There are some occasions when the feelings are more important than the facts and you need to trick people into behaving confidently to change their facts.
We were all born honest, innocent and atheist, and it was when your experience of the world was enough. To simply be without all the things you've told yourself to help embellish or face reality.
Only fools and horses work, hucksters rule. America elected its very own Del Boy... At the end of the day people are shallow and desperate. You give them an easy answer, they'll take it.
I insist you get a life right now or at least don't repeat your so-called childhood onto your kids. Your dullworkaholic ruins my work-life balance completely the moment I'm not rich enough to effectively own you. Give it a rest, I want to swan around Italy not toil in a sweatshop.
Be more than this if I had my way. Star jumps in the work car park, a tax on sugar, no meat on a friday, national service which unlock marriage grants and a variety of other milestone grants, pass your driving test or gain a skill the country needs and you're going to receive a bonus. Drastically revise the system of income tax to encourage people to do what needs to be done, we need to weight the rules in favour of civilisation to attain a degree of basic functionality. Once you've established basic function you can be Kanye West free to do any mad thing you want, but not before.
Rats from a sinking ship accurately describes the situation. The EU is sinking and Brexiteers seldom do belong to the best of the British. Sinking ship one side, rats on the other
I think modern industry begs the question what do we need men for? And the movie Fight Club is the answer - nothing at all. Women will always have children but the man's world is proving to be so successful that it drives man out of business, every opportunity for a man to feel useful extinguished one by one unless we start believing in all of this do-gooding. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of another(Dickens)and what else will we have when the AI comes to town? Fate is forcing into a situation where we have to start dealing with our emotions, deal with them together.
It’s bad for both them and you the way we men stoop to conquer there ought to be proper standards. One mans practice girl becomes the next mans demanding wife. Whenever one man lowers his standards it inflates the price of woman.
My advice for men is don’t be too scared to lose your virginity to someone you actually like. Virginity is not a curse to be removed by a convenient wet hole.
