  1. Been divorced from one for 22 years, 10 years from the other. BOTH of them caused the pursued the divorce, and neither of them are doing well. I am doing very well, and no longer date. Men have to pay for the bad choices of women, we are held accountable, they are rewarded for bad behavior.

  2. When you tell women they are better than men, stronger, faster, smarter, and show them that in movies and TV shows all the time, they start to believe it. Tell them they are op pressed by men, they believe it. Tell them that having a job and working full time is better than having a family, they believe it. Give them free stuff and opportunities that men do not get, and they will keep people in power that will continue to give them things and absolve them of responsibility. No its not organic.

  4. Work a 10 to 14 hour shift, earn enough that she doesn't have to work, and every damn one of them will think he needs to do more around the house. If you are like me, and have passive income where you don't have to work because you already worked far more effectively than a woman ever could, they will look down on you because you can do whatever the hell you want all day... they want you to give that to them. This is why I live alone in the woods, in a house I built, driving cool old cars I built, and I don't have to give money to women that did not earn it.

  5. She is wrong about a lot, but her claiming that a virgin isn't going to do all the things you want for spicy time, is wrong. My second ex wife was a 21 year old virgin, and an absolute freak in the sheets. She was homely, but she stayed thin and active for the 9 years we were together. So she is wrong that we are only looking for the hottest as well. Finding a woman who doesn't have a ton of plastic tacked on her these days is tough, its all fake, just like their personalities.

  6. I worked in factories and the US military, and women got paid the same as we men, but they did all the easy, soft, safe, jobs and men did all the heavy lifting, dangerous, dirty difficult work. Same work for same pay? HA! AS IF! They can't do what I can do, for as long, without breaking.

  7. These people have an urban mindset, its like they have never been out in the vast emptiness of the USA between the cities. They completely ignore that cities are a HUGE source of pollution and waste, because its NOT about the environment. Its all about turning us all into profitable livestock. I live in a shipping container house I built in the woods on 13 acres of land, I have no debt and own it all. I build 60s and 70s hotrods that run on home made ethanol/vodka fuel. I can grow food too. Methane is a wonderful way to make electricity, its super easy to produce and dirt cheap. Today I am loading up my 1968 Pontiac LeMans that I have turned into a race car, driving 780 miles to Missouri so I can race against other channel owners. I am a day late because I just got the car built, but I will be on my way soon. There is no damn way I will acquiesce to these people who want to force us into cities where we will be completely dependent on them. As if I want to rely on the inept and incompetent like them.

  8.  @loganblackwood2922  yep, the first one (30 at the time) was beyond pissed when I hooked up with the second one (21 when I met her) and that she was thin. Here I am ten years intentionally and permanently single, own 13 acres of woodland, a bunch of old muscle cars (I build them) built my house and the shop where I build the cars... and the best part is I am debt free with a passive income just under $100k. Where they are. 1 is 49, over 300lbs at 5'4", in debt so deep she will never get out of it, has a problem with ox y cont in, and is married to a spineless unambitious guy ten years older than I am. He is almost done with life, and he has tried to leave her three times now because she is so bad to everyone. When he shucks his morrtal coil, she will be left with $1300 a month, which is less than her mortgage payment. The second one lives alone in a small shack her mom rents for her, has a part time job that pays $500 a month, she is 41 and can't get a date. The guy she left for took off and now she hates men. They both thought they could do better. In reality they were both holding me back.

  9. I know my ex wives are wishing they had gotten alimony from me. Know what? If she cheats and divorces him for any reason other than it being proven he mistreated her physically or cheated, SHE SHOUDL GET NOTHING.

  10. They actually think we want the same things they want.... Reality must be rough on them.

  11. I'm 54... not bald. Don't need a pill because the plumbing works. Well it works when she is attractive enough, which is honestly a rather low bar. Be thin and female, not crazy. If she is over 30 and single, its because she made bad choices in her life. 20 year old poon tastes like hope. 35+ yo poon reeks of regret, poor choices, and desperation.

  12. I met LOTS of them overseas while I was in the USAF. Tried to marry an Arab in 1990-92, her mom decided to ruin it. They are so much better overseas. I went to Korea, but not Japan. Traveled all over Europe while I was stationed in Germany 89-91. Today in the US they are not worth the effort, risk, and expense.
    78
  13. After 150 or so of them, I am convinced they are NOT worth the effort. The wrapper changes but they are all wired the same. By the time they are my age, you really do not want them. After 35 you won't want them. Catch and release works when you're younger, but once you hit 40 and have had a few of them, you realize they cost you too much money and especially TIME.

  15. The more I watch videos like this the more I realize and am grateful: 1. I was born a man. 2. I am intentionally single. 3. I am old. They weren't worth it when I was young, and now they are even more of a detriment.

  16. Some of them are. While doing my old car thing I meet lots of guys in their teens and 20s, and most of my friends are 30s and up. I am 54, and have watched all of this go down over the last 40 years. Men are checking out, they are not playing the game, and the number of them doing that is growing. It might be a correlation with those of us who have a mind geared towards machines and vehicles, but the more guys I meet the more of them have almost no interest in dating. When I run into a 19 year old guy and he is saying the same things 40 to 60 year olds are saying about women, and he has never heard of the red side of anything, its obvious that its a problem with the females and men are merely reacting to how females are. The guys still playing are the ones who haven't heard any of this we are talking about AND have not had any experience with females. Those guys are desperate and thirsty, and believe the narratives they have been fed about women. Its similar to the guys who have been married for 20+ years, they simply do not know how women are now.

  17. If you think you are safe in eastern Europe or southeast Asia, you're deluding yourself. Its only a matter of time before those places are forced into the same dystopia. The goal is making it worldwide, and currently the USA is the only thing stopping them. Not the people in office, they are all in and for it, they clamor for it going worldwide. Its all of us, the plebs, the nobodies, the 330 million of us who can still shape our own destiny... well, the ones who survive what is coming can. Cities are pens for domesticated livestock. Sure you need $200k a year to live in a big city, but you only need $40k a year to live out in the sticks. You are not married to that job, don't get hung up on the numbers bandied about in cities, they take more of it from you. Quality of life means something. Around where I live the youth are leaving and going to big cities rather than starting a business here. They think they need that big paycheck and it will mean they are doing well. What they find is they need to live with 3 or 4 other people just to put a roof over their heads. The same thing was going on for us Gen X'ers. The boomers screwed us all. Most of us don't own a home either, and they never will. Ten years ago I bought land in the middle of nowhere, the largest town within three hours driving time is 26k people. There is still cheap land here, but its going up fast everywhere else. I have less than $80k in my property (including structures) because I built my house and the shop I work in. I didn't pay someone to build it, I did it. I have to live cheap and frugal, because I don't really get that much money and I am stuck no matter what. Can't earn more because I am a crippled veteran. If I was daft enough to live in a big city I would be living under a bridge rather than building 60s and 70s muscle cars. 30 year mortgages are for chumps. I tried to get a 5 year, but the bank wouldn't let me, they made me take a ten year. The difference in monthly payments is a couple hundred bucks, but the difference in how much interest you pay is HUGE. I paid the mortgage and building loan off in 8 years, that was in 2021 because I knew this was coming. I knew something even bigger is coming, and I wanted to have no debt they could leverage against me. That whole you will rent everything deal means you are forever in debt, you have no equity that you can possibly build up, you can never pay something off, so you have to continuously work and never stop, because you don't own anything. You can't store up food or fuel, because you don't have the room for it. You can't produce anything yourself, all you can do is go to the cubicle farm and look at screens all day to make someone else wealthy. If I want to, I can turn off the cellphone, landline, internet, and the only expense I will have is electricity and car insurance. I am working on producing electricity rather than buying it. That is a rather big project, producing fuel for my cars is a lot smaller and cheaper project than making electricity. Not only can I fuel my vehicles, I can sell fuel, or teach others how to do it too if I need to. You can do it too, if you get out of the cities and think outside the box. Job is an acronym for just over broke. There are so many ways to make money its ludicrous, yet people seem to want unskilled part time jobs to pay for a family. Yeah it sucks for you, it sucked for me, and every time I tried to get ahead some female destroyed everything I built, which is why I live alone now and have for the past ten years. I don't know how to stop a female from destroying the family you're building, they seem dedicated to doing exactly that. So I avoid them. Its not a bootstrap thing, its not a working more hours thing, its an exploiting the system thing. What can you learn from a job? What skills can you acquire working there? If its nothing useful, beneficial, and doesn't produce anything tangible, its a nowhere job. Every job I worked was a stepping stone that taught me more skills, that I use every day now. Construction, machinist, heavy equipment operator, auto mechanic, finances, chemistry/biology, hell I even build the PCs I use rather than buy them, because its a lot less expensive to build them. The more you can DO the more useful you are, and that means the more money you can make ANYWHERE.

  18. My ex complained that I didn't help around the house enough. So I said she could come out to my shop and help me work on cars, organize my tools, clean things, then wash and wax the car after doing the brakes on the C10. Thats just what I did in my own shop to make extra money.. in addition to working in the factory as a machinist/CNC programmer. All she had to do all day was cook something for me and the kids to eat, so I didn't have to do it, and put the laundry in the washer, so I didn't have to do it. Living alone I spend about an hour a day cooking for myself, two hours every two weeks doing laundry, and when I am not building on my house, its clean. Currently its full of construction materials and insulation I need to get in the walls. They whine about the division of labor, thinking that all we do is sit around the house... because all they do is sit around the house and sometimes go to a 'busy work' job pushing papers or some light activity like that. Come lift some 90lb stuff into lathes and run dangerous machines with me, or fling 140lb chrome plate arbors around all day, push some 5,000lb to 10,000lb 463L pallets on to airplanes... I'll trade you ladies, I will sit around the house and do laundry/cooking/cleaning, you go lift stuff that weighs more than you do all day and use a ton of math so you know you're making good parts.

  21. They are telling women to wait until 32 to have kids. My daughter who is now 26, told me that the best time to have kids is after 32, about 5 years ago. She was told that, she did not come to it on her own. A while back the Potato told a little kid to wait until 30 to start dating boys. Someone is doing this to women intentionally... guess who.

No fault means 'his fault' in court. Never get married, no matter what the religious people claim, they do not understand the situation for us.

  28.  @napolim214  my first wife still complains to my kids about me buying a 1970 GTO in 1994. We have been divorced since 2001. I still have that car, and many others. She said "He just did whatever he wanted, no matter what I said." She tried to forbid me from buying it and doing the other car things I do. When I am seeing someone and she says, "Why don't you sell all these old cars and buy a new one?" she never hears from me again. Its not really my hobby, more of a lifestyle for me.

  29. Happy birthday Bo.. I agree, nothing here in the US worth dealing with. I stay to build my cars and go drag racing. Every so often I get a text saying hey or something. I assume they are phishing bots most of the time, but more than a few were females from my past that thought they could do better than me. No slingbacks. She had her chance, she dropped the ball, I'd rather live alone than deal with someone like that. I've had women who went to high school with me contact me out of the blue, looking for a backup to save her from her poor choices. Like I want anything to do with some chick I didn't want 37 years ago when I graduated. Not much interest in 50+ year old females, even if I knew them years ago.
    42
  30. You're right about the problem of males raised to think and act like females. Nobody respects a male that thinks and acts like a female, and females definitely do not want them. The skinny long haired kid saying guys work out to be a man is misguided. Men workout because they are men, men lift heavy stuff because they are men, men build things because they are men. They do not do those things to be manly, they are manly which is why they do those things. We are not like women. What works for them does not work for us. We are different, and different for a reason. No amount of wishful thinking or false assertions will change that fact.

  31. They're told they deserve and are entitled to all the benefits, but are not responsible for any consequences or negative aspects that men have to endure to get those benefits. They think they are the prize, that they are smarter, stronger, better, and more capable than men are. The hilarious part is they believe it.

  33.  @miguelservetus9534  look them up in a phone book, while they will not admit to it, they say to do it at every chance so the woman is assured custody, if there is any doubt. My home state, Nebraska, gives full custody to the mother by default, the only way the father gets his kids is if she is incarcerated, abandons them with him, or declares she doesn't want them. That amounts to about 1% of the time, because Nebraska likes to hit dads with 68% of their gross for support. As for reporting them to the bar, good luck. They all cover for each other.

  35. What else does she have to get the attention she craves? Females all do that, they are the focus of everything they post. If I put something on its a project I am working on, or a vehicle I dragged home to be a project, and I rarely appear in any of my content, though sometimes I do. Most guys are like that. Its where we are, what we are doing, and what we are looking at, rather than the female look at me with this thing behind me. Most guys I know don't need nor want attention from the public, but they enjoy sharing subjects they are into.

  36. I'm 54.. women near my age are freakin delusional. I get interest from lots of them in their 20s. 30 somethings want a wallet to make it so they can go shopping and never work again, so they aren't interested in me. 40 and they are more desperate, but still try to find reasons to turn you down, especially when you're not actually hitting on them. Over 50 and they are wrecked but think they are super hot, yet most of them are well over 180lbs. I build GTOs, live alone in the woods and rarely interact with women. Two divorces and four total years homeless was enough.

  39. I've been all over the world like you have, found the same thing. The problem is women change when you bring them to the west. I was engaged to an Arab hotty from Dubai back in 1990-92, didn't get married. We remained friends and in contact over the years. She just came to visit, and we hadn't seen each other in 32 years. She changed so much from living in Germany I was thrilled when I put her on the plane to leave yesterday. Wasted an entire week on her being here. She is ghosted, she treated me like a child, I called her on it and she gaslighted me. I have no need for that in my life.

I do not want any of them close to my age, they might be fun for a quit romp in the back seat of my GTO, but thats about it. I don't even want to have kids, my two daughters are 27 and 29 and their mother screwed them up. You can see what I look like, and be aware that I try to make myself look bad in my videos. Compare her to me trying to look bad while she is trying to look good... Its hilarious. They hit a wall then fall off a cliff. I've watched it happen over the last 30 years, they went from hot to oh hell nah..

I was 17 when I had studied them enough to get some, that was 1986. I started out being not only unwanted, but everyone mistreated me. Never was a 'player' but I got a lot of them after gaining the muscle and learning what not to say and how to treat them. Out of the couple hundred, only 3 came out of clubs/bars. Most were cold approach or social circle. For the last 20 years most of them who hit on me have been married. Can't trust em.

The smart women realize that if she doesn't help out, she is an expense that can be removed easily, and life is more difficult on her own. Both my ex wives discovered that life is much worse without me in it. They left at 30, thinking they could do better than they did at 20 and 21 when I met them.

  45. 13 acres of woodland, bought in 2013, paid off all my debts in 2021. Built my shop in 2015. My shipping container house in 2019. I build my vehicles so I have LOTS of them for parts, around 25 old muscle cars. My house is 1050sqft. $27k for my land. $28k for the house. I'm a crippled Iraq veteran so I am stuck with the VA, but they finally give us enough to live on. I am 3 hours from any large city, the biggest town in the region is 26k people. The snow keeps people away, and so does the job market. Even if they burn me out, I will just rebuild because its all paid for.

  46. I traveled the world in the US military, met women from four continents, both ends and the center of Asia, Africa, Europe, and all over the US. Some of my best friends in the military were Filipino, absolutely wonderful people. Asian ladies seem to like me a lot, India, Thailand, Japan, Korea, Russia, Dubai, Kuwait, UAE... West African ladies really liked me too. I think its my pale blue eyes. If I weren't so big into 60s and 70s muscle cars, and wanted someone in my life I would probably head back over to Asia, or maybe south to Columbia and Panama. As it is, I am content to stay here in the north, live alone with a couple of Siberian Huskies, building hotrods and enjoying my mid 50s. Not much reason nor inclination to waste more time and money on the ones around here, building GTOs is far more enjoyable, rewarding, and vastly less expensive.

  47.  @h2oGrunt  I like to put it this way. I know she is going to cheat and make poor choices, its her nature. However I do not dwell on it, rather I enjoy the time I spend with her, until she is no longer enjoyable. Here is the funny part. The less I care about them, and when I do not care about them they can have any other guy they want, the more they want to be with me. As soon as I start to care about them, they think they can do better. They are so predictable, and once you know how to read them you can spot the moment where she decides she is going to cheat. Then you can tell exactly when she does cheat, they are so simple but want everyone to think they are deep and complex. They are about as deep as the puddle a puppy leaves on a hardwood floor.

I hit 50 and realized life is better without females mucking it up, building old muscle cars is so much more enjoyable and fun. I have 6 years until I hit 60, what can I get done before then? Probably a lot more if I don't waste time on females. Females like the one who wrote that are far too common and typical. I made mistakes in my life, getting married was a big mistake both times, but despite all of the times I was put back to zero, I still achieved, experienced, and did things, and explored the world quite a bit.

Then we had Kuwait in 90-91, and right after that the big drawdown started because the D's controlled congress. Then Bill eviscerated the military manpower, but didn't lower the real world operations, they just worked everyone harder. Then they started the Iraq and Afghan thing, milked that for personal profit. Every time a D is put in office the military suffers, that goes all the way back to 1964.

  64.  @ImagineOnward  ah yes, I suppose I should elucidate upon the unfortunate consequences of her inglorious actions.... She choose poorly and is having a bad time. We hooked up in December 2003, she moved in with me in early 2004, we had been talking online since August 03. I was 34, she was 21. After enduring 89 years with my first ex I knew what I did not want, and would dump any woman, no matter how hot, if she displayed any of the negatives my first ex had. She was everything she claimed to be for 8 years, absolutely wonderful, we never argued, never raised our voices, and she initiated spicy fun times often. The bare minimum was 3 times a week, and she was GOOOOOOOD at it. Kegels starting when she was 12, and she managed to finish me with the mouth hug and head bob when very few women could. She nearly changed my mind about women. Then after nearly 9 years together we got married so she could get some of my health care. That was late 2011, in 2012 I was exposed to some chemicals that messed up my lungs, while painting some stuff for her dad. Exertion was painful, just walking ten steps left me winded, it was like someone had cargo straps wrapped around my chest preventing me from breathing. We figured out what was causing it, got meds, and I started improving in late February 13. In April she met this guy who was 7 years younger than she is, 20 younger than I am, and he was rather desperate. His previous romantic interest was a 36 year old, 5'3, 250lb mother of two, who's father and brother had to run him off to keep him from following her around and showing up at her house at night. He's on the spectrum you could say, she is somewhat as well. Nobody who worked with him liked him, her parents loathed him, he was one of those delusional entitled types who felt he should be in charge his first week working somewhere, so he got fired from every job. He was about two inches taller than I am, but at 24 he was already going bald with a bozo the clown type hair ring around the back of his head. His chin was swathed in jowls like some nefarious evil banker in the movies, and he had no muscle to speak of. There is a reason most women ignored and were repulsed by him. However, my ex thought this kid was her soulmate. I sent her a text when she didn't come home, and I found the car I let her drive parked next to his truck outside a motel. Told her not to come home, nothing there for her, and all her stuff was going to Goodwill. She abandoned her pets with me, dropped every responsibility she had to be with this kid. She had met him at a training event for firefighters, she was made chief of our local VFD because nobody else wanted it and her 120lbs was not going to pull anyone out of buildings. She brought him on at a township meeting, and all of the other 12 members quit, because they loathed that guy so much. They all knew him, nobody liked him anywhere he went. So our VFD was her and him... Then he bailed on her after 3 or 4 years, I don't keep track but my neighbors tell me about her, without me asking. She is unpopular to say the least. Currently she is alone, unwanted, her mother is paying her bills since her dad died back in Feb this year. I liked her dad, he treated me good but let his wife dictate to him, so he got on my bad side. She left at 30, has been alone for the last 6 years, is now 41, no future, no prospects, and her VFD job pays her $500 a month. What did she leave behind for that kid? A very muscular, very capable and competent, two war combat veteran, that can walk now because when I couldn't do much in 2012. getting sick allowed me to heal. She was with me and stayed through the medical boards and all the health problems I had from my last deployment in 04, and knew what my ex was like. I was able to get around and do fun things before 2012, starting around 2008 or 09, but it was a slow recovery. She left right when I was healed and the first wife was going to be paid off in 2015... which would open up another $1200 a month. She could have been with me through the entire project of building my shop, house, and landscaping my yard, all of which she enjoys doing. I have a really nice 13 acre plot of woodland, and my forest is enjoyable to walk through. Now I build the old muscle cars, many of which I have owned for decades. The first one was a 1967 Cougar that I bought two months before she was born when I was 13, in 1982. I still have that car, but I haven't driven it since 1987, its waiting its turn in my shop. I have a couple of trucks and two GTOs (a very rusty 69 and the 70 I drove for a daily from 1994 to 2004) ahead of it on the list. That is what my videos are, vehicle builds and stuff around here. In 2009 her dad sold me the truck he got her to drive to uni, and I still have it. A 1988 C1500 short box. He was going to scrap it, but it has zero rust so I gave him double the scrap value, $500. Its getting a 6.0 LS swap, slammed to the weeds, and painted her favorite red orange color, with heavy flake and pearl. Then I will use her truck to take my trash to the township dumpster, because I have to drive by where she lives to dump my trash. Its going to be a cool build and man does that low mileage truck drive nice. Yeah, I am just petty enough that I will drive her truck past where she lives, and make sure she sees it finished the way she wanted it. She doesn't drink, so no boxed wine for her, but she is destined to be alone now. Poor choices and lack of impulse restraint have consequences.

  65. Paid of the first ex in 2015, divorced from the second ex in 2013, the same year I bought my land. Paid off the land and building loan in 2021. I think I should get another 8-71 supercharger for another car I own.

  66.  @emperorcesar8208  nah, you're seeing it from a lower perspective than them, which is incorrect. I pity them, they aren't capable of understanding what goes into keeping society going or doing the work it takes to do it.

  67.  @Nancy-uc2tu  they are useless for the most part, because you get married with almost nothing in most instances. Then she can cry duress and the judge will toss it if she marries into money. No dear, we are checking out and not playing the game anymore. Deal with it. Go get that billionaire with two helicopters to marry you.

  68. In 1993 I got married, I was 24 she was 20. It was a living nightmare after the first kid was born, then she put away the irrational argumentative bipolar stuff and was nice for a while to get another. Bought a house in 1996 and she got progressively worse. I stayed to protect my two daughters from her. She thought I should hand over my entire paycheck to her and allow her to decide where the money went. Problem is, bipolar women are notoriously bad with money, and allowing her any access always resulted in overdrafts, bad checks, and the utilities being shut off. In 2001 she ran off with another couple, moved my kids 1500 miles away, and filed for divorce. They gave her everything of value, saddled me with all the debt, and took 71% of my gross to give to her. I had no idea what bipolar was, how to spot it, what they do, and I really didn't know that in a divorce the man is always guilty and the woman is always the innocent victim, regardless of what transpires. I rebuilt my life and met a homely 21 year old virgin in 2003. We talked daily for six months before meeting face to face. I vetted her extensively, and she turned out to be a very good person, absolutely wonderful to me. We lived together until 2011 then got married. We spent that time rebuilding my life, building a future together, waiting for the child support to the first to end in 2015. Didn't make it that far, she thought she could do better in 2013. Her mother and sisters told her to leave me for this kid she met who was 20 years younger than me, 7 younger than her. Then they met him, and did not like him. We were married for 16 months. She is alone and unwanted now, her mother is supporting her since her dad passed last February. Her dad had to support her 'soulmate' and her while she was with him, dude could not keep a job because he felt entitled to be in charge on his first day. She got all the property except my old rusty cars and my tools. She knew better than to go after my money. If she had she knew there would be a large fire where everything I had was in it, and then she would have to clean up a huge mess of gray matter. 50% to 70% of nothing is still nothing, so take nothing and go away. She should have listened to her dad and begged me to take her back. Here we are, nearly 11 years later. I bought 13 acres of woodland in 2013, sold some car parts and my parents loaned me $2k to add to the down payment. Lived in my car, an old RV, and rented a room from a friend until 2015 when the child support ended and I started building on my land. Built my house, a 32x48x12 shop with a lift where I can build my rusty old cars into something drivable and nice. I sacrificed heavily so I could pay it off early, and did exactly that in Feb 2021. I've been debt free since then. Now lets say I am daft enough to get married again. I own several old muscle cars that I managed to keep through all of that, and have been rebuilding them. A judge is going to give her my land, home, and whatever she wants of the vehicles I have owned for decades, along with most of my income, and she doesn't have to be married to me for more than a year. WHAT INCENTIVE IS THERE FOR A MAN TO MARRY? What incentive is there for a woman to marry then divorce? No, I don't even date anymore. For the first time in 54 years I have enough money to not only survive, but live comfortably and do whatever the hell I damn well please when I want to do it.

  69. Having dated Russian speaking women, I can attest that he is exactly right that they will continually test you to see if you have any weakness at all. They aren't going to want you just because you're American or British, they want the high quality men. I have muscle and dominance, and when I was getting Russians I had no money. The ex wife was getting almost everything I was paid while I was stationed in Korea. The skinny dude in the video with no chin is not going to get hot ones without flashing and having lots of cash. If you want to show your dominance every minute of every day and be tested on it for the rest of your life, get a Russian speaking woman. Fail once and she will find a different guy. I didn't care if they stayed around or left, so their tests were useless on me, they were not going to get the green card and a trip to the states from me.

  70.  @Fee-Nix  I ran my business for a few years.. I repaired cars and built hotrods, my shop made cars faster in my area. It was a bad time to start a shop because all the factory jobs in the area were being packed up and sent to Mexico thanks to na ft a. Not enough customers with money, and too many with a spare set of keys. I have mechanics liens on something like 15 vehicles. There are VERY few women who do what I do. Machinist, car builder, etc. I would guess there are no women on the planet that can do what I can do, since most men can't. Its a lot more than just replacing water pumps on VW Beetles.. lol.
    20
  71. I grew up on a farm, worked in factories as a machinist, in auto repair shops as a mechanic and the owner, was in the USAF for years.... while we had women in the factories and military, they did all the soft, easy, clean jobs, and the men did all the dangerous, dirty, heavy lifting work. The funny thing is we all got paid the same, they did a fraction of the work and got paid what men doing real work were paid.

  72. I don't get a dopamine hit when I buy something. Women do. My dopamine comes from things I do. Lifting heavy stuff, building an engine and hearing it fire the first time, making my car faster as I sort it out.. thats where I get the dopamine. Buying parts is something I have to do to build more cars. Money is an easy way to get those parts. I don't care how much money I have, as long as its enough to live my life and build my cars. Even when I have no money there are things I can do to achieve my goals. Thus money is not my focus, neither are females... but yeah I like both of them. I chase that feeling of accomplishment that comes from utilizing my skills, knowledge, and abilities to do things that most people cannot do. It doesn't have to be perfect, it has to function and do so very well. Feelings and emotions don't really have a use in any of what I do. They're mainly superfluous.

  74. I have lots of Filipino friends, they really don't care if we date their women. Treat their sister well and they accept you, if she likes you. I have pale gray-blue eyes and light hair, so I got LOTS of attention from African and Asian women, Latinas like me a lot too. They stick around a few years then go for someone with money. Been around the world, had lots of them from all over, I'm not really attracted to Filipinas, but they are nice and mostly loyal when you don't get them out of a bar or club... judging by my friends who married them.

  75.  @dixonbourne  with enough effort and sacrifice, yeah... I am finally winning. Just in time to beat the clock of life, now I have all the toys, and am too broken to enjoy them ... heh...

  76. Dude... I had one riding like a pony, who facetimed her boyfriend. I don't trust them. You shouldn't either.

  77. Technically the legal age in Michigan is 16... not that I would go there, but it keeps 17 to 19 year old guys from ending up on registries. the PI, yeah, best not to go around looking for under 18s anywhere. The only 15s I am into are drag wheels and tires.
    18
  78. They can earn their own money now, but still want ours. They will not be loyal, they will not be faithful, they will step out behind your back. I am 54 and have quite a few friends who are close to my age, we are mostly car guys. Gearheads who build old stuff. One guy lost his wife to cancer last year. He is having a rough time. The rest of us have been divorced, I have twice. After the nightmare those two and all the others I dated have put me through, there is not much interest for them left in me. I live alone intentionally, my house is built to suit me and women are uncomfortable here. My focus is on my shop and the builds I do in it. They did not 'hurt' me. The wives both left me sleeping in old cars and trucks, the first got most of my income for 15 years after the divorce. Working for the benefit of someone who mistreated and betrayed you is the ultimate insult. There is no way I can even care about women, individually or as a whole after what was done to me by them and at their behest. The only female I will do anything for is my 26 year old daughter. I do not need them, nor do I want them. I want GTO and TransAm parts.

  79. I've been there, eastern Europe, both ends of Asia, western Africa. Currently I am having far too much fun and getting too much enjoyment building my old muscle cars to travel the world or leave the country. In Seoul Korea even at 5'8 I was like a celebrity, women were asking to take their picture with me. Russian women would hit on me outside the bars where they worked in Korea. Yeah they were there to make money off us GIs 20 years ago. They were still looking for good masculine men to be with. Arab women are simply amazing, but its nearly impossible to meet them, never mind how difficult it is to marry them. When I was stationed in Germany 30 years ago and the Berlin Wall came down, that was when I saw eastern European women the first time. They had an edge on western women at that time, but now they absolutely crush them. DON'T MISUNDSERSTAND... they are ALL wired the same, they will all do and are attracted to the same things, and fitness tests from eastern European women are thermonuclear. In the US they are annoying and petty, but with Russian speaking women, they want to know for damn sure they got a leader, not someone playing at or faking it. She will test you, and that will include having her friends you haven't met hit on you in public to see how you react. Then she will accuse you to see how you handle it. Outside the west they are still women, still feminine, and they want a strong leader. Don't bring them back here. My cousin did and she dumped him as soon as she got her green card. I warned him... and he is literally 6'7" tall, Viking looking and named Chad. She became very interested in me when she discovered I can speak some Russian. Not conversational, but enough to get the point across. If you want one, learn her language, Tagalog, Russian, Japanese, whatever she speaks... that pays dividends for as long as she sticks around.

  81. Nobody cares about me. Nobody has my back. Nobody will come to my rescue. Works for me. Why? Because: Though I walk through the valley of darkness, I shall fear no evil, for I am the baddest MF in the valley. Become the baddest MF in the valley.

  83.  @GothamandGomorrah  so try it out, see if it works for you.. good luck. You young guys are screwed, its not like when I was in my 20s and 30s, or even in my 40s. I can pull more than most young guys, they are near invisible to women.

  84. aka untgrustworthy, annoying, overbearing, combative and always engaging in a power struggle. I traveled the world already, not much interest in flying around to waste time on them, and they are horrible here in the US. Why bother..

  85.  @almightykayl8749  many times, but not about being a virgin. Trust me, when you pop one, you know.

  86.  @MrNathan1575  we observe how women are and comment on it, that is VERY different from us telling women how to be a real woman, and we sure as hell aren't telling them to be men so they can be real women. Whereas they tell us to be like women so we can be a 'real' man. Its horrible 'advice' but is promoted everywhere else. We say what we like and what we want, women can listen and be those things, or ignore it and end up alone. Meanwhile they tell us how we should be, and it is most definitely NOT a way of being to get a woman to stick around and be good for you. She can do what she wants, she simply won't have one of us when she gets old.
    17
  87.  @Whatsup_Abroad  you're assuming they would not be willing participants... that tells me you don't know how they are in the military. It appears to me after many years active duty that they enlist just to get holes filled over and over by different members every week/day.
    16
  88. I can get a GF if I want one. After two ex wives taking everything I own except some old cars and my tools, I neither want nor need a GF. They all turn their heads when I drive by in my Cuda, GTOs, or the rowdy loud LeMans with a 1100hp ish engine I built for it, but yeah I can't get one... lol. Sure.

  89. Wait until the ones who thought they could do better than you hit you up after 20 or 30 years.

  90. Had the untrue assertions happen to me several times, as they tried to extract something from me, usually money, and two felt I should just let them have a car. One of them was never even touched by me, but she claimed I did, however she did not know I worked nights on base every weekend. I could prove beyond any doubt that I was not where she said I was at the time she claimed. Still cost me, restricted to base, extra duty so no time off, and I was treated like a criminal for several months while the off base cops sorted it out. That was in 1992....

  91.  @someoneelse9059  history has proven time and again, that yeah... they can be.

  92. My final divorce was in 2013, ten years ago. I have dated a bit since then, but every minute I spend with them, I am thinking about what else I can be doing. I built my house, the shop where I build my cars was also built by me, and I am debt free after buying my land in 2013, and taking out a building loan in 2015. I drive a 1965 GTO and 1970 Cuda all summer as my daily drivers, have passive income just under $100k so I can build hotrods and muscle cars for fun. I don't have to sell them to pay for the next one. Next year I will have the 76 C10 on the road, and a it will pull my race car (1100hp once I put the blower on 1968 LeMans) to the track. the Pontiac shortblock for that thing cost $14k to build, its good for around 3000hp with turbos. All of that after starting out at zero with just some rusty old cars the ex wives did not want. TEN YEARS.. if I had never gotten married I would have been at this point 20 years ago. I had my fun with women in my youth, and it cost me dearly. All those wasted years because they wrongly assumed they could do better than me. I can get tuna scent on my bits any time I want, just did on Sunday night, then she went home. The peace and quiet living out here in the woods without someone nagging and disrespecting me is glorious.

  93.  @Kkaffeine  its truth in advertising with the name. I keep the belly, its inoculation against gold diggers.
    16
  94.  @Carlos.Rivera  Pontiac mostly. This is going to sound like a brag, but keep in mind that I buy VERY rusty cars that are usually not even good parts cars, and rebuild them. I do that to stay busy and its cheaper than buying one already finished. I rebuild rusty junk because they are cool cars, I want to drive them, and it keeps me busy while providing purpose for my life. When you go from being a highly capable man who can do damn near anything, to being able to walk 100feet a day, it messes with you. building cars makes me feel productive, even if I am a lot slower than I was before I got hurt in the desert. My dad left me a car when he died in 2020, its a 1973 Barracuda cloned into a 70 AAR Cuda, with that eye searing great idea for a getaway vehicle lime green paint. Its the nicest car I own... and one of the slowest. 65, 69, 70, 72 GTOs. The 65 is my daily driver, the 69 is a basket case, the 72 hasn't been driven since 1997. The 70 has been waiting for its turn in my shop. 64, 65, 68, 71, 72 LeMans, they become race cars and fun projects like straight axle gassers. Look that up if you don't know what it is. They are cool. Then I have Firebirds. 68 that is really rusty 71, 72, 74, 78, 79 and 98 Formulas. Four 79 TransAms. Three of these are very rare cars worth quite a lot of money when I get them finished. Also have a 32 Pontiac, a 29 Ford both are rusty shells, 72 Ventura its like a Nova, 71 Mustang fastback, 84 Mustang convertible, 67 Cougar (my first car I bought in 1982), and a pair of Opel GTs I plan to turn into terrifying things with big engines. A couple C10s, 76 and 84, the 84 I am building for my daughter. 88 C1500 that was my 2nd ex wife's and I am building it the way she wanted it, then using it to take my trash to the township dumpster, because I have to drive by where she lives to do it. I bought it from her dad, he was going to scrap it, but it has zero rust. Along with that I have a bunch of 1997 to 2007 trucks, we get lots of snow here, the roads are heavily salted so I drive these 4x4 trucks in winter. End up needing parts for them, so I have several. The most I ever paid for a vehicle was $7500, that was the 1998 Formula in 2004. The majority of them were purchased for $500 or less. I've had quite a few for 20 years, five for 30 years, and one for 41 years. I just never sold them, rather I put them away and drove something else over the years. Also now my parts cars are valuable as drivers, so I am rebuilding what was only good for a parts car 40 years ago. I had a 1980 BMW 520 when I was stationed in Germany 1989-1991, was not very impressed with it. Slow and handled terribly. Sold it to my boss and ended up with the 1979 Formula. I am big into cars and trucks. Its why I still exist, because the hardship in my life would have driven most people to end it. The cars keep me busy and thus alive. If you think I am making it up, click my name and see for yourself. :)

  95.  @ForTehNguyen  every job I have had where they work with us, it has been painfully obvious they cannot survive without us. They did all the light stuff, pushing paper, visual inspection, things like that. We did all the heavy lifting, dangerous and dirty work. Its hilarious they think they are better than us because they can't do the heavy lifting.
    16
  96. Sniper? Recon? Logistics? No.. they cannot do that, they do not pack the gear required to complete the job. To do the same as one average guy takes 5 or more of them. They can't run very far, they can't carry anything while doing it, they have no endurance, no speed, and they can't manage their emotions. My USAF job was logistics, air cargo where I loaded aircraft and pushed pallets that can weigh 10,000lbs each. Over 6000lbs you cannot get enough of them behind it to move it, and I can move then by myself, because I was saddled with them in the 1990-91 airlift... and I got HUGE from being overworked. I could pick up 200lbs and run up three stories hundreds of times during a 12 hour shift. They have a difficult time with 40lbs, its simple biology.

  97. Don't marry again. I've been through that a lot over the years, got married twice to completely different ones, but they both did the same thing after 8 years. Catch and release, let them decide when they want to get off the hook and don't get attached. I stay pudgy to avoid them, but I need to fit in the roll cage of my drag car... so I am getting unpudgy.

  98. One huge leg up in meeting women in other countries is learning some of their language. Expecting them to speak English is arrogant and puts people in large cities off, even if they speak it. Make the attempt to speak their language and it goes much better. They like it when you try to learn about them, just like we like it when people want to learn about us. Put in the effort to learn languages and it gets you much farther. I was in the USAF and got lucky in 25 countries, on four continents between 1988 and 2005. I did not get with military chicks, they were hazardous to stripes with accusations.

  99.  @ifeawosika966  I have pics of my kids when they were little, before their mom took off with them and they were 4 and 7. Now they are 26 and 29. I have more pictures of my cars than I do of people, GTOs don't take your home and most of your income on a whim.

  102. My first ex filed for divorce trying to get me to obey her and hand over my entire paycheck. I came home on leave she wanted to give it another chance. She stayed the night at my parents house, I slept well away from her. The next morning she started another irrational fight with me, and I told her there was no damn way she could ever come back to me. She made my life hell for 8 years living with her, and kept me impoverished for another 15 years. She was horrible to me and my kids, but was rewarded for it with 71% of my gross pay.
    14
  103. I'm happy, not lonely, debt free, build muscle cars, and own some land I can live off if I want or need to. I discovered that women were the source of my stress, debt, and anxiety. How to do all of it, and then she tries to jump to someone she thinks is better.. they never have yet. On dad's side, my grandpa was born in 1910, grandma in 1915, they married in 1932. She never drove, raised chickens, had a huge garden, canned food she grew every year, did laundry, quilting, kept the house spotless and she had 4 kids who survived. They both made it to the 1990s, she went first. Grandpa never had to worry about the house, food, and laundry, she handled that for him, and he handled EVERYTHING else, the farm, finances, transportation, the lot of it. She was like 5'1" and tough as nails, a hardcore first generation born in the US German. My mom got a job in the late 70s, because the farm economy was terrible thanks to a grain embargo. She was the cook at my school, then a custodian at my high school a while later. Dad farmed then got jobs at farm equipment dealerships selling parts and equipment, he was a lot better at that than he was at farming. When I left for the military in 1989, dad sold the land to my cousin, his sister's kid, and did the sales thing. He didn't have someone around to do all the work, he also got a furnace because I kept the house warm with firewood from age 8 to 18. Mom kept on at the school and retired there in 2012, but mom also cooked, did laundry, kept the house up.. The garden went away when I enlisted and my older brother got an in town job. These people that think wives just sat around and watched TV have no idea, grandma almost never turned the TV on. She liked the quiet. I miss her cooking. I was always looking for a woman like her, dedicated, honorable, trustworthy, capable despite being tiny... I never found one. I stopped looking ten years ago, now they are a means to an o face. Nothing more. Its sad what has become of women, I think their lives are too soft and they are given too much without earning it.

  104.  @randysavage1  they aren't very effective in logistics, e.g. moving the cargo needed for a military to function. My USAF job was logistics, and they did NONE of the heavy lifting, caused the most vehicle mishaps, and became petty capricious tyrants when they made rank. They are useful in services, running the gym and chow hall, finance and other paper pushing jobs, and in medical its a mixed bag of how well they can do the job. Mostly they are a whistle sack that gets reamed out by the tallest and best looking guys on base. I was the safety and vehicle NCO for my unit, as an extra duty my primary job was cargo/logistics. I know how many accidents and bad ideas were perpetrated by everyone. In all my years on active duty, I found ONE that was able to operate equipment without running into things. Several of them put holes in aircraft, drove forklifts off docks, ran over cargo, and one was most thrilled about driving fork tines through 55 gallon drums of oil, hydraulic fluid, or whatever else was in it.. then when they make a huge mistake like that, they are protected when one of us who does it twice gets 'corrective measured' heaped upon them and discharged if they mess up three times. Air cargo guys go into hot spots, do the job under fire, and nobody realizes its USAF guys doing it. Look at the videos of Khe Sanh and you will USAF cargo troops going out to pick up the airdropped cargo and loading/unloading planes with mortars falling around them. On my deployments we did all the heavy lifting out in the heat, they stayed in the passenger terminal with the AC and rarely came outside when a plane was being loaded with passengers. They did NONE of the baggage, because they simply cannot lift a 90lb bag, let alone 900 of them in a row.

  105.  @terryrodbourn2793  remove default custody going to mom, stop financially ruining fathers when the mother does everything wrong, and like you said, end frivolous divorces. They have been punishing men for 50 years and now they can't understand why we aren't signing up for it.

  106. As an NCO in the USAF I got all the screw ups. The kids who had issues, like they didn't want to take a shower or do laundry, got DUIs, or couldn't show up on time. Only one didn't get his act together, and he was returned to the civilian world. Takes some time and effort, but its achievable to fix them.

  107.  @Omol_Music  HAHAHAHHAHHAAa.... keep telling yourself that. They are ALL 304s. They lie to themselves and say that hundred don't count because it wasn't a relationship and other nonsense. I know thousands of them, 304s the lot of em.

  108.  @FarmingUnclear  its been interesting watching women go from hottys 35 years ago to rotund hags now. I am 54, and the young ones really like me. I get hit on by a 16 year old checker at my grocery store. Its amusing, but yeah nothing is going to happen there. Right up until they are 28, they like to have fun with me. They get to ride in cool old cars, and do fun things. At 29 they decide they want someone to rescue them, and let them not work anymore as he funds their endless shopping spree. If they don't have kids they want one immediately, like you said. If they have kids they want to get resources from us without putting anything into us and that goes right up to 40. When they hit 40 things change for them somewhat, they realize nobody wants them and their prospects dwindle to nearly nothing.. what they get is dregs. If a man with some value notices them, they become teenagers again because someone noticed them. That gets worse as they age. They are willing to do anything to keep a man around, and I mean anything, not figuratively. At 50 they get more desperate, and are often getting more delusional about what they think they deserve, but they also realize they aren't going to get it ever again. When I was 34 I had just gotten divorced 2 years earlier, and had been having lots of fun with women from other countries, like Russia, Korea, and around the world. They all wanted a ticket to the land of the big BX (base exchange, its like wallmart on a military base). I met my second ex wife, who was 21, a virgin because she was homely, and she seemed to be different from the rest of them. She was awesome for 8 years, then we married and the divorce was final 16 months later. I had never gotten along with someone so well before, then I got sick for a few months, she met a kid 20 years younger than me, and I kicked her out for cheating with him. She will be 41 next month, she is alone, unwanted, and reliant on her mom since her dad died earlier this year. I saw her in the grocery store, and the last ten years have not been kind to her. Back in 15, a couple years after the final divorce, I met another one. She was early 40s, had her own money, and she treated me wonderfully. In 2018 I saw her one time, because there is a 7 hour drive between us. We ended it after having lots of fun together, she wanted to hook up with a firefighter she met. He dumped her two weeks later. I've had lots of them, can't remember how many exactly, I remember another one I hadn't thought about days later when I try to think of them. I don't date anymore, don't get numbers, barely speak to them, and if she shows interest its exceptionally rare that I will even offer to spend time with her. Its not fear of anything, sure as hell not intimidation. Its that I have better things to do with my time, that aren't as much of a waste of it. Playing video games is more rewarding than dating American women.
    13
  109. I find it most amusing when I offer a 4 the chance to spend time with me and do something fun because she is fun to be around.... and they turn me down. As if they are getting better offers. Just ten years ago it was difficult to find one that was single, now they are all painfully single, but delude themselves into thinking they deserve Brad Pitt or Chris Hemsworth. No dear, you are lucky I even spoke to you.

  110. Both my wives decided to try and do better when they hit 30. Typical woman in yellow, if they are meant to be in your life they will.. yeah, restraining orders over fabrications and falsehoods do a damn fine job of making people leave your life. Both my ex's are miserable now... 23 years and 11 years this May since the divorces. The majority of them do like these women... poorly. I hit 50 and it was just another day, because I had already done things most people never would or could. I am more concerned with what I want to do with the years I have left than trying to feel young again. I literally own/drive the same cars I drove since I was 16. I stopped driving the economy car I bought when I was 34 because people are jerks towards me in it, like its a poor man's mid life crisis car. A bright red 1998 Formula Firebird I got back in 2004. Live a life that fulfills you, even when someone else throws a wrench in it like my ex wives did.

  111.  @bcab7955  she didn't get it as good after me, and now she doesn't get any at all. Of course she blames me for her plight, but it was her choice and her actions that brought her to where she is now.

  112.  @nikoryu-lungma  getting lots of women doesn't prove a man's value, it can make him far more attractive to other women, but usually has a negative affect on him with men. How do I know that? I have a high number, somewhere between 150 and 200. However, I was not trying to get a high number, I was trying to find one I could trust that would build our lives together. As it turns out, they mostly just wanted something from me, not really me. The experience of having a man who is built like a gorilla moving her internal organs round, being seen with that man, or something of monetary value. A few tried to get cars and cash out of me, but I never really had money. My value doesn't have much to do with it, apparently my face was good looking to them, and they like muscle which I have in abundance. I have never been wealthy and never plan to be. I do fun things often, mostly with my old cars, and the vehicles are the main focus of my life.. and have been for 4 decades now. Everything else supports the vehicle thing... heh.. That is attractive to them. If you have value to them, they will want to be with you, and man without value needs something physical. Muscle, money, stature, etc. I could get women because I know how to talk to them, could tell which ones were interested and which were not, have infinite confidence (which comes from being tested and building myself to pass those tests), and I have muscle with a deep voice. I am 5'8" and have been over 240lbs since 1991. Got down to 215 in 2001 on a deployment, but mostly I have been 240 or heavier. Not exactly the pinnacle of the male physique. If you think getting lots of them means you have high value, you're doing it wrong and thinking about it wrong. They are not logical, they run on emotion and you can short or exploit those emotions so easy its like a hack in a game. What men value in each other and themselves is very different than what women value in us. Our value lies in what we know, can do, can solve, and have accomplished. Theirs is in youth and beauty, and most of them squander it.
    12
  113.  @luphuong5239  you can do that, but I am only doing catch and release now. I am old, do not want anyone around all the time, and I don't have enough lifetime left to rebuild again. I would rather do things I enjoy, like building the old cars I own and driving them. The third extensive rebuild is almost ready to drive, its an insane high powered fun toy I plan to race a bit. Muscle cars > women.

  114. Man, I am 54 and was around before the internet was available to civilians. THEY WERE THE SAME THAT THEY ARE NOW. The only difference is they can get attention from 100x more thirsty males instead of a few dozen in a small town to a million in a huge city. Bear in mind I am/was a top 20% man despite being 5'8" and not overly wealthy, its muscle, attitude, confidence, and the ability to do damage along with the willingness that attracted them to me. Its not coming from someone who rarely had a woman, I have had hundreds and have known thousands around the world. They are the same, as they have always been.

  115.  @ericpowell4350  people would be ill advised to come where I live and try to take things. The township is over 20 miles long, and only about five or six families/people are on the obedient blue side. The rest of us, well... lets just say you have to get away with what you take, and survive the encounter. If I go to some other country where I am not allowed to own a means of defense, that puts me in a much worse situation. That makes you dependent on the regime. If you think this isn't going to be forced on those smaller countries when the US can or will no longer stop them, you're delusional. Run and hide if you want, but they will come for you all the same.

  116. I'm 54, only 5'8, but I have muscle and game, like bench 450lbs+ muscle. Seeing the % in this video made me realize why I had so many one night and less than two month things over my life. I am not long term for them. However, I still get interest from 18 year olds all the way up to 70+. My daughters are 26 and 29, and most of the interest I see for me is from women younger than my kids. Around here its a small population, and the women are not overly attractive. That means I am not interested in them. Yet when I go to a large city, I stand out because I am so very different than the men they see every day. Still not interested because I hate being in cities, and they are not going to want to live in the woods like I do. So I live alone and amuse myself in watching women qualify themselves to me. In my late 30s and all through my 40s it was super easy to get the young ones. In their 30s they did not want me, because they want a retirement plan, not a muscle bound gorilla that tosses them around the bedroom. Under 30 and over 40 they are very interested... but not for long term as I have no status or wealth. I am not a beta wallet for them. Build muscle in your 20s, it will help you all through your life. Men respect you more if you look like and you actually can throw a hurtin to them. You can do more when you are strong than when you are weak, and we all start out weak. Don't stay that way... and don't do like I did, never get married. I was daft enough to do it twice.
    12
  117. STOP MAKING EXCUSES. Nobody cares, thats the first thing men need to understand, nobody cares about us. If we don't make it happen, nothing happens. You can whine and cry about the things you have to do to become a man and build your life into something worth living, or you can get started. All of those things are still going to be standing in your way after you cry about it, so skip the female emotional outbursts and get to work. At 14 I was 4'9 and 135lbs, I was a portly kid, and I had just gotten into wrestling. By the time I was 16 I was becoming somewhat of a monster and had grown to 5'7. It was a messed up diet the doctors put me on in the 70s. No female would even acknowledge I existed until I put in the work to get stronger, built confidence through competition, and changed my life the hard way. At 17 I got the first piece, which was followed by another (who was 21) two weeks later. I was off to the races and getting tail from ever increasingly good looking ones. I am only 5'8 man, and I can lift a lot of weight because of the jobs I had and the life I lived. Get off the couch, get the hell out there, get to work doing something constructive that makes you work. I mean work, lifting heavy stuff, over and over, not some paper pushing job or stocking shelves at a box store. BUILD something. Houses, cars, bridges, roads... whatever. Do that for at least two years and pay attention to the men you work with when you haven't had a dad there to teach you how to be a man. Being a man takes work, you don't just end up one like females end up being women. YOU gotta make your life happen, nobody is going to do it for you.

  119. It took me 8 years to rebuild and pay off the mortgage and building loans after the ex got everything except my old cars and tools. My ex had ZERO evidence of anything, she got the restraining order based completely on hearsay. The 'soulmate' she left for at 30 stuck around for 3 years until her dad got tired of supporting both of them. Then he left her, she has been alone ever since and her dad paid her bills until he passed last February ('23). Had to wait two more years for the first to be out of my wallet before I could start rebuilding in earnest in 2015. Now I own 13 acres of land, a bunch of old muscle cars I am rebuilding, a big shop with a lift, and I have no debt. No way in hell am I letting a woman into my life so she can take everything I have built before I even met her.

  120. I had five baseless unfounded assertions leveled against me in the USAF back in 1990-92. I am not allowed to use the typical phrase or my comment is hidden. I wasn't tall enough to say hello in passing to military females. My solution was to not talk to military females. In 92 I had one accuse me of a struggle snuggle, because I would not give her a car I owned. She was a civilian and unaware I worked nights on base and had Tuesday Wednesday off, she claimed I did it on Friday around midnight, Saturday around 11pm, then Sunday evening. I was on duty and could prove it beyond any doubt. No spicy time transpired between us, she got my name from one of the guys who knew me and made her assertions when I would not just hand over a car to her. I had looked at her car to see if I could fix it, and I needed a lift and a shop to do it, so I declined fixing it for her. I was restricted to base for months and it played a part in me not being able to reenlist. The off base cops wanted to haul me off, but my base said they would just keep me there. They needed me to work and having me in jail was not going to allow that. I got screwed over because some bint found out I had two cars and she wanted one. Then I had another in the civ world because she wanted me to let her drive my car, on ice, while she was drunk and I said no. Both ex wives did the same thing during our divorce, but it wasn't spicy in nature, it was other things they claimed I did. After all of this, it is impossible for me to trust females.

  121.  @FullCircleTravis  do you have kids? Because if you have kids, she can decide to take them from you, no reason nor justification needed. She will be rewarded for it. I was thrilled my ex finally left, the police backed her every time they showed up looking to arrest me for what she did. She did not intimidate me at all, even when she was coming at me with something or throwing things. I have lots of scars from her, maybe I needed to give a few scars back. I am not a timid man, not a small powerless one either, but there are more police than me. She absconded with my two daughters when they were 5 and 7, moved them 1500 miles away and I had to look for several days to find them when I came home on leave. She screened calls, threw away presents I sent or kept them for herself, and I was forced to give her all but $100 of my take home pay for nearly 3 years. I slept in my old ratty car while active duty in the US military, or on friend's couches. Lots of cheese and bologna sandwiches, except for the week where a friend's gf gave her kids my weeks worth of food one day. For the next 7 years I got to see my kids a total of 12 days. Usually the last afternoon before I head to head back to base, and I spent the rest of the time trying to find them. My bank account was seized twice as a punitive measure, so they could put me behind on payments, and punish me for the payment bouncing. They kept the money, and did not give it to her. So be as willful as you like.. when she decides to destroy you, there will be precious little you can do about it. Your choices are let it happen or take a permanent dirt nap. If you try to fight them, they will make it even worse. I lost 15 years of my life living on a tiny portion of my income because the rest was going to someone who did not deserve nor earn it.

  124. @Sludge my last wrestling match was in 1989, in the US military stationed in Germany. I am almost 54 years old and can't run anymore since my 2004 deployment. I suppose they can try against me... but then again I have more physical strength than 99% of men.
    11
  125.  @beastfromtheabyss  you're right about that. I know way too many guys who have either never gotten any, or only had one or two and that was decades ago. Throughout history most men never reproduced, they either expired young, or in conflicts, disease, accidents, etc. We haven't had a major conflict in 80 years, so there are excess cannon fodder types strolling around.
    11
  126.  @jonathanjacob5453  not always, sometimes they go with 'you're so confident' or they don't say anything verbally, but all their body language screams submission and attraction. I probably have had different experiences because I am 5'8 and muscular.
    11
  127.  @jorgelarzabal  you wouldn't feel so tender hearted towards her when she has you thrown in jail for no reason other than she is off her nut, keeps you destitute no matter how much you earn so you're living in a beat up old car, and keeps you from seeing your kids out of pure vindictive capriciousness. I have two ex's, kids with the first. They both stepped out with infidelity, lied about me to make themselves look better to everyone, took my house, my income, and had me sit in jail for things I didn't do.. evidence doesn't matter when a man is accused by his less than loyal ex. They just assume he did it, because she is sooo wonderful. No they do not get any respect from me and I honestly would not care if space junk squished them, or they caught something serious. They earned the derision, and what the first did to my two daughters is unforgivable.
    11
  128. They're cooking the books, claiming people are being paid more but not saying the fact that their money buys less than it did 4 years ago, a lot less. Inflation is NOT down. The stock market is up because of the rampant money printing, the same thing happened in Weimar Germany and the US 100 years ago. They were celebrating how much money they were making, when in reality there was a huge stream of ever more worthless cash being shoved into the market until it all crashed. We all know what happened in 1936 to 1945. Most people can't do math, thats why we have this problem... that and central banks.
    11
  129. Oh yeah, sign me up for that, move into HER house so when she finds someone else or doesn't want you anymore, she kicks you out.. and of course then you are forced to pay her for it. She is broke, I am not, if I had to support her, I would be broke too. Not gonna do it.

  130.  @jean-louislalonde6070  it has to be a miserable life to be so insecure that they have to do things like this to feel better about their poor choices.

  131. I hooked up with Russian speaking women when I was stationed in Korea 20 years ago. Now those were the ones who were willing to fly to Korea to work in a bar to make tips, so not the highest quality women... however, they were vastly better looking, and far more enjoyable to be around than US and western women.

  132.  @Something-tz2vw  the lack of drama and stress induced headaches is why I dated them, Thai ladies were my favorite from that end of Asia. Russians, well, they are interesting and run a wide range of ethnicities. You have to be a strong willed man that can withstand thermonuclear S-tests if you want to get and keep a Russian speaking one around. My days of travelling are over, last time I was out of the US was 2004, the first time was 1989. I have eschewed relationships for some time now, opting to spend my money on vintage muscle cars, my land/home, and doing the things I enjoy doing, like going drag racing. Because of women the last pass I made down a drag strip was in 2005. This is the first year I have rebuilt my life enough to get back into it after having everything I built and invested in ripped from me. Asian ladies are quite nice, they rarely have bad attitudes and they know how to treat a man well.
    10
  133. I've seen this countless times. They burn everything to the ground at 29 to 32, thinking they can get what they had ten years before, not realizing they just relegated themselves to practice. They rarely get a better man over 30 than they could get at 20, but they think they are special and the bad things won't happen to them. Pity them...do not save them.
    10
  134. The swipe obsessed one... yeah, thats what they look like for the most part over 40. Ick. I wear a hat because my eyes are light gray and very sensitive to light, so I wear a hat. It limits the light getting into my eyes. I am not losing hair, and I am 54, I shave my head into a high and tight once a month. Larger and older means easier with less effort to gat an O, she thinks she is desireable, but she is seen as easy.

  136. They think we are attracted to a chick with a degree, good job, and her own house. Then they think they can do better at 30+ than they did at 18-26. Nobody tells them how alone they are going to be when they think that way.

  138. This is exactly the issue. The same thing happened on reddit and now its a "L" echo chamber, but they didn't get people dependent on an income stream then take it away without reason. I wonder what they will do if I make my daughter the beneficiary of anything I produce on here, since ya know, its automotive stuff and benefits a woman.

  139.  @RR.LL.3B  ok... so when someone comes at me with something like that, I think projection. Like when my ex accused me of cheating, while I was at work... and guess what she was doing while I was at work. She was bipolar... are you bipolar too? Most females are. You write like a female, and think like one, so even if you have outdoor plumbing you are essentially a female. If you have outdoor plumbing, lift something heavy a few times each day, stop with the soy drinks, and learn a skill or two. :) If you're female, enjoy boxed wine and cat land. :)

  140.  @l2xsniper1  I'll bet you it was some guy showing interest, that did not stick around after he got what he wanted and the papers were filed. They always have another one they plan to swing to, they don't jump without an option. Its ALWAYS another man, they never just leave because they want to.

  141. I grew up on a farm. Lifting heavy stuff all day at certain times of the year, hay bales and irrigation pipe all summer, firewood, snow and livestock feed all winter. I wrestled in high school and later in the US military. If something needed done and we didn't know how, we learned how to do it. There was no need for anything like this little crawling in wet dirt silliness. My entire life I have laughed at the smugness of these soft hands types looking down their nose at me, as if they are superior to me. Sure, they might make more money, but thats the only area where they're ahead of me. I see them often, driving in the car their wife approves of, looking at my car in traffic with that look.. That look of a man behind a fence looking at the world he cannot get to. The look of a man who is told what to do by his overbearing wife, as he longs for an old muscle car like I have. I built my car, he would rather watch TV in the evenings than cut rusty panels out and weld in new ones, or rebuild transmissions and engines. He would pay someone to do all of that stuff, and his wife won't allow that. They are Lester Burnham at the beginning of the movie "American Beauty" but think they are Colonel Fitz who lives next door. Sell the Camry, buy the Firebird and lift heavy stuff.

  142.  @ikaybi3  there is something I have learned through two divorces, many other LTRs, and a decade in the US military. You cannot tell others what to think and expect them to agree with you on everything. To some extent I could get my subordinates to do what I told them to do, but when it game to females in a relationship with me, no amount of any behavior is enough to keep her from making poor choices and destroying the lives of her kids and her husband. Society will do what society wants, and the mob is fickle at best. What you want is rarely what they will do.

  143.  @BrendanSchmelter  never gonna happen. The man is always wrong, she is always innocent and never does anything wrong. This is how the courts are, family, civil, and criminal. Been through all three because of them, and I did not do nor cause ANY of it... but I paid for it.

  144.  @williamgriffin5503  I was stationed in Korea 20 years ago, didn't get with many Koreans, lots of Russians. However there are lots of women in Korea running around with photographs of me with them from my trip to Seoul. They really liked my blue eyes, blond hair, and that I am heavily muscled.. think power lifter rather than body builder and you get the idea.. like a pale gorilla.

  147.  @MaestroMephisto  you're exactly right. I did get her best years, and the first wife's best years as well. They were 20 and 21 respectively, first went 8 years of nightmare for me, and the second was just short of ten. The first is 49, 5'4, over 300lbs, and managed to get herself a yesboysimp who hands over his disability check to her before she became a hamplanet. 30 years ago when I met her, she was smokin hot, with a 5 face. Her ATM is creeping up on room temp, he might have a year or two left at this point. Dude is a mess. When he croaks she will drop down to $1300 a month, which is her mortgage payment for her 1100sqft house by the train tracks. Math is not her friend. She came here to drop off stuff for one of my daughters back in 2018. She realized then just how badly she screwed up, especially when our daughter told her how much land I own. She has been trying to get me back, but after the hell she put me through, I can think of very creative methods of demise that I would prefer over taking her back. The funny part of this is I have 20-29 year olds flirting with me and hitting on me, and I do not dye my hair or beard, so I am full on gray. I look and act younger than my 54 laps around the sun, but the gray gives me away, I earned it so I flaunt it. Both my ex's chose poorly when they thought they could do better, especially when they were 30.

  149. My first ex did that to me. I had kid with her and she 'mistreated' them, so I got her to come back so I could protect them from her. Then while she was trying to manipulate me into simply handing over my paychecks and letting her run my life, she took off and moved my kids 1500 miles away and filed for divorce. She tried to get me to come back, but there was no damn way that was happening. I was indentured to her by the state for 15 years. My kids grew up more than a thousand miles away from me, in a very nasty environment their mother created, all while she told them I didn't care or want them. The second ex could have taken everything I owned and most of my retirement, but she knew if she tried that she would get absolutely nothing, but have a huge mess to clean up. I would have set fire to everything and splattered my brains on her parents driveway. I was not going to be indentured again and she knew it. 70% of zero is still zero. Both of them are miserable now, the second is alone and unwanted, she turns 41 this week. I have been divorced from her for ten years. I am sending her a card on her birthday that says Have a nice time in Boxed Wine and Cat Land. 40 to 80 is a looooooong time.

  150.  @elgatomoscato230  I was the outcast in my family, and still am at 54 years old. Nobody ever helped me with anything, but they all demanded I help them. The only thing any of my siblings ever did for me, was my younger brother pulled my car and trailer to me from the family farm 1500 miles away, because he was stationed 300 miles from where I was stationed, and it was mostly not out of his way. I live 1000 miles from all of them for a reason, it makes it more difficult for them to demand I do this or that for them. They wonder why I don't interact with them at all, and they think its my problem and there is no reason for it.

  151.  @joeswanson733  exactly my point. My cousin brought one back from Ukraine in 2017, he failed lots of tests, she had him on a very restrictive diet and essentially controlled him. Last year she took off, divorced him, went back to Ukraine and hooked up with a guy younger than her. She was late 30s and still looked decent when I met her in '20. Dude's name is Chad and he is a 6'7" Viking looking guy with long hair. I am 5'8" and look like a German silverback gorilla. Both of his wives, the one from the US and the Ukrainian, acted the same way when they met me. I want nothing to do with them, because I have better things to do than pass tests they conjure up. They can tell when you're a dominant male, and stature is trumped by dominance. It helps that I know some Russian from my time in Korea where I dated them. I'm not conversational, but I can get my point across. Chad can get lots of them, but they do the same thing, soak him for money, then bail. My friend Ben lives two miles away from Chad, and he went to Ukraine 8 times, spent $70k going there to find a wife. Ben is 5'6", balding, and pudgy, he never built any muscle despite living on a farm. They played him all the time while he was there, and he couldn't get any of them to do more than talk a bit. He knows zero Russian, so they could say whatever and he wouldn't know. I told him that he doesn't want one of the eastern Europeans because of the tests. He will fail every one of them if he ever managed to get one. He also only went for the hottest with the most beautiful faces. He never had a way with women, he is the quintessential nice guy. I will get with them, hit it for a while, then let them go by failing a test so she thinks its her idea. Thats all I want, warm moist snot pockets in nice looking wrappers.

  152. $1000 is a set of tires for my 2500 truck, a very cheap two stage paint job I do myself, an 850 Holley carb, more than my monthly bills and expenses. Debasing yourself for that? Damn... I am grateful I was born male.

  155. I was born at the end of the 1960s, mom says I watched Neil and Buzz walk on the moon on live TV, I was too young to remember it. Early life was good for the most part, other than my brother mistreating me severely. Physically... he tried to end me several times until I was 16. Then the grain embargo in 1979 changed everything, and that was just as I was getting on the tractors and doing farm work. Tractors at 8, grain trucks at 11. I have been driving a long time. After 1979 had the prices fall due to a massive amount of grain rotting on the ground thanks to bad ideas by bad presidents, life sucked. Dad would hit, kick, throw me into things, when he was frustrated, which was often because corn was selling for $1.50 and it cost $2.10 to grow it. Luckily we had cattle and hogs, which we butchered so we always had meat. I grew up on steak and burgers, some of which I raised with a bottle. From 4 to 14 I was on a messed up diet because my dad's smoking made it seem like I was allergic to everything. That meat and cauliflower only diet screwed me up for the rest of my life. All summer I moved irrigation pipe, pick up a 150lb to 300lb pipe that is 20ft long, and 8" to 10" in diameter, and carry it on your shoulders across a field that is 1/2 mile long. When I was a kid I could barely move one end, by the time I was a teenager I could carry two of them on my shoulders, alone, for miles. Fixing fences was a year round thing, keeping hogs and cattle in where they are safe. Carry a large spool of barbed wire, several steel fence posts, post driver, and the stretcher around the pasture perimeter mending fences. That was a three times a week job, in addition to everything else. I had to do the mowing too, in addition to rebuilding the mower and its engine sometimes, I started building engines at 8. Did my first V8 at 13, it was a 390 Ford. Between all of that we had to herd cattle/hogs, load them up to take to town to sell them, walk through bean fields cutting the weeds out of them, maintain all the farm equipment (oil changes, greasing everything, repacking wheel bearings, replacing worn parts, its no wonder I am very good at mechanical things) In winter I had to go out in the west pasture, cut up the fallen trees, drag them back to the house with the tractor, cut them up, stack it, then keep the house warm all winter. Been running chainsaws since I was 13 or 14, and I can build a fire exceptionally well. From the time dad got the woodstove for the house when I was 7 until I left for the military at 19, I was the one keeping the fire going, and getting it going when mom let it burn out. Dad got a real furnace when my younger brother enlisted in the Army in 1992. I could not wait to get off the farm, away from my family that treated me like a servant/slave, and away from wearing a gas mask most of my life.. So the military fit quite well, I was worked extremely hard during the airlifts for the wars, and I wore a gas mask so freakin often it just became second nature to have it on. The work I have done in my life has been extremely physically demanding, thus I am packed with muscle and when I was 22 my arms were bigger than Arnold's, but not as well defined since his mass came from a gym and roids, mine came from being worked heavily every day, you can't imagine it really. The best way to explain it is to pick up 100lbs in each hand, hoist it to your shoulders, then run up three stories. Do that several hundred times in a 12 hour period. Then take two F150s, put them bumper to bumper, now push them from one end of a 300' parking lot to the other, and back again, for a 12 hour period. Between 21 and 35 I could do all of that alone, I was a monster who wore out every joint attached to my spine. Now I live in pain. I am kinda sugar coating my life, fyi.

  156. The low value guys need money to get women, they are like that all over the world, not just the US. I've been around the world quite a bit in the US military, you can tell which ones want money from you. I usually had no money first because of low rank, then because my divorce took nearly all of it. Those low value guys are not going to change, they will always be around, just don't be one of them.

Just because you have a boomfirestick, doesn't mean you will win. Go up against someone trained and you gotta be super lucky to not end up with a splatter pattern behind where your noggin was last.

  158. Living overseas I learned that most people only know about where they grow up. Like a 200 mile radius, and they rarely leave that circle. The most often asked question I got when I was in Dubai 32 years ago was "Are you from LA or NYC?" I would reply I am from almost exactly between them. The paradigm for Emirates is much smaller, Abu Dhabi is quite close to the other Emirates and Saudi Arabia. They could not imagine where Nebraska is. People in Europe don't grasp the size of the US either. It is 1000 miles from my home near Marquette Michigan, to the farm where I grew up near Lincoln Nebraska. That is a 14 hour drive at 75mph. I have no problem driving that in a day, but Europeans will take two or three days to travel that far, or they will simply fly. The funniest question I got was after they asked me where I was from and I said Nebraska, they'd ask "what state is that in? That was people from the US (urban people) and from overseas. I usually know more about the country I am visiting/deployed to than the people who live there, as far as geography. I kinda study that sort of thing so I find out before I go. I know far more about the US than most of the urban people I meet, but I have been all over this country. I definitely got a different mindset than most Americans. I spent just under ten years (total with a gap in service) in the USAF, travelling the world, meeting people from other cultures, learning bits of their language, and expanding my horizons so to speak. I can tell where some people are from based on their facial characteristics, Japanese look different to me than Koreans, Laotians, Vietnamese, etc. They all look different from each other to me. Same with Russians, Spanish, Germans, Italians, and English. The Baltics look similar to me, and I didn't spend as much time with them, but often I know they are from that area. When it comes to work, I heavily value my time off. Before I retired my time off was precious to me, because in the US military you can end up working 14 hours a day for several months without a day off. I went from 10 August 1990 to some time in January or February of 1991 without a day off, I was on the flightline, working the planes every night, minimum 12 hours, sometimes 14 to 16 hours working. The result was I hoarded my leave, and once that uniform came off I tried to be unreachable. I also learned to sleep anywhere, anytime, I had the chance to get some zzz's. From June 2003 to August 2005 I worked 12s, with varied work schedules, often 4 days on, one day off. Out of my entire time in the USAF maybe 3 years were spent on 8 hour shifts. When I was an NCO there was even less time off to myself, always had to handle things for my Airmen, and since I worked nights it meant missing out on sleep during the day. I do not miss being an NCO at all. Lots of work and responsibility for nowhere near enough pay. I just passed 6600 straight days of Saturday this week. That is 570,412,800 seconds, 9,506,880 minutes. In two months I will have spent more time disabled/retired than I spent working since I graduated high school in 1987. Two separate lifetimes is how that feels. I don't miss Europe or Asia, but I want to go back to them sometime. I'd also like to go to South America for a while, maybe Columbia, Brazil, and some of the centrals like Panama. Where I live I avoid the big cities, Green Bay is the closest and its a 3 hour drive to get there. I like living rural, and having food for several years stored up, and shopping for the entire week is my norm. Can't afford to drive 25 miles into the grocery store every day. These days I am not very social, I can go weeks without speaking to another human, or even seeing them in the winter. Most people repel me, they are not good people to be around. Trust is huge for me, and if I can't depend on someone I can't trust them. If I say I will be there, then I will damn well be there unless something larger prevents me from following through. Most people aren't like that. Doesn't mean I don't like or appreciate them, just that I will limit my time around them.

  159.  @skullviolater8835  nah, they simply do not know. Crowder is finding out the hard way right now. he was saying the same things Matt and the others were saying, just a few short years ago. Now he has been shown what really happens. She lies, takes the kids, most of your income, and is rewarded for less than honorable actions. The other guys on this panel, haven't been through it. Matt has no idea what its like for his wife to take his kids 1500 miles away, and keep you from contacting them. He can't imagine why a mom would do that, but they do it all the damn time and his imagination is not part of it. He still believes they are wonderful people, and they have only been misinformed a little bit. Coward doesn't fit, ignorant and inexperienced fit better.

  162. That depends on where you live, rural areas have much lower costs than cities. If you want to live in a large city, yeah its going to be exorbitant. $5k a month to rent a one room apartment? Thats a down payment on 10 acres where I live. However, all the jobs I used to do are gone now, the only one still available is construction, and with considerable education, working on cars. Very few machinist/CNC jobs, they were all sent south of the border 20 years ago. Where I live now there is no industry, the main source of revenue is tourism, snowmobilers in winter, RVs in summer. If you have internet income where you aren't going to a job, you're doing it where you live, rural areas are ripe for the taking. There is no way I could live in a city, a fixed VA income means I have to live somewhere inexpensive. I live alone because I am not giving away another house and most of my income to an unfaithful succubus. My land is paid off, I am debt free, and own 13 acres, I could easily support someone and have an enjoyable life. Not going to... because they cannot be trusted.

  166.  @Gunsight-One  I got more than a truck, I got freedom. She was costing me $2000 a month just being there, and not spending money wildly like the first ex. Car insurance, gas, food, all the incidentals TWO THOUSAND FREAKIN DOLLARS. Now I have a larger shop to build cars in, with a lift and better equipment like my air compressor, welders, etc. I have 13 acres of land that I can't be kicked off of without someone paying me handsomely for it. A smaller house that is easier to heat and cool, that fits me quite well and its comfortable. I am debt free which means I can run my accounts down to nearly zero every month if I want to get something done, or I can save up to get something big like a 3 car trailer or that plasma cutter/Tig welder I want. As long as I have food, the bills are paid on the first of the month, and the dogs have chow, I can do whatever the hell i damn well please without being concerned about someone else. Currently I have my eye on a set of cylinder heads for my Pontiacs that would allow me to make around 850 maybe 900hp NA with my latest engine, and an easy 1200hp with 7psi from the blower sitting on my floor. I plan to pay my friend for them in January or February so they can be on the car by the time the snow is gone in May or June. Fast cars are infinitely more fun than a female nagging and haranguing me all day over bs while she wastes my money.

They get every handout, incentive, and tons of free stuff just because they have to squat to empty their bladder. She can do everything wrong, step out behind his back, mistreat him and the kids, use all manner of chemicals, even break laws and she is STILL rewarded for it. Must be nice to always be treated like a child and never ever held accountable nor required to be responsible. So yeah, not gonna happen.

  169.  @CB12345  you're assuming there are mostly good women out there who won't drop you for a different guy if she thinks she can do better. 30 years ago, sure, now? Yeah right. Most of them do what both my ex wives did, file for divorce when they hit 30 because they think they can do better than they did at 20/21. Twenty two years after the first, and ten years after the second, they have discovered that they cannot do better than their first. This is the pattern I have seen most often, in the US military and in the civilian world. Most women divorce around 30 no matter how many kids they have or how good their man is. They are lied to and told they deserve better and are entitled to the best man out there. Couple that with the fact they are never satisfied, and you get men being screwed over en masse and people like you and the dude in this video blaming men for the actions of women.

  170. Those women are attracted to everyone. Then you have the ones who will rack up a huge number and try to make YOU think she is chaste and innocent. Even if you are her first for everything, unless her culture keeps her acting right, she will do the same thing ALL of them CAN and most WILL do. You cannot trust them, they will eventually step out no matter how 'good' or 'high value' you think she is.

  171.  @Eneeki  my second wife was 13 years younger than I am, she was good to me for 8 years, then we got married. She was 21 I was 34, it worked very well as I was her first for everything. 16 months later we were divorced and she was destroying her life, that was 11 years ago. Its so much easier when they make you hate them, than when they are taken from us. I rarely even speak to them anymore, the way they behave and how they think they are doing me a favor by speaking to me, is repulsive. They don't get it. My life is a lot better without them in it.

  172. My first was hot, and a bicycle which I was unaware of. My second was very homely but thin. THEY BOTH DID THE SAME THING, meaning they thought they could do better than me. They couldn't do better, now they're both miserable and broke. You can't trust any of them.

  176. I saw the exact same dynamic play out, 35 years ago when stationed in West Germany. 6000 men, 300 single not men. Even the overweight 3s got tons of attention. On base they all chased after the same handful of guys, anyone else who had the audacity to speak to them was taken up on charges of untoward conduct. Back then I could go off base and do very well. In the US it was different, they had to struggle because everyone speaks the same language here. When I got to Korea in 2002 they separated us from them and we were briefed not to sleep with them on base. Every one of them would catch something, because they'd be getting with the same handful of guys. The tallest best looking guys... They told us to go out the gate and get it on with Russians, Filipinos, and willing Koreans. Sure enough, they were down with something every few weeks. Now that situation is here for everyone. Think about it, everyone on a military base is in shape, most of them take very good care of themselves, so you have men who are already top 20% in physique, no matter how tall they are. Overseas you have a language barrier, so they would all go for the top 1% of the 20% guys that were everywhere. When he would deploy, the dependent would be on base with all those very in shape single guys... Being married in the military is a detriment, because you know they are not going to be faithful while you're in the sandbox. It was wild how many dependas hit on me.

I am 54 and have lost interest in them for the most part, divorce does that to you. They stop looking like a fun time, and start looking like the reason you sleep in your car and have no money. Its more fun to look at them, cheaper too. Yeah I have had 18 to 28 year olds often since my divorce ten years ago. I just don't care anymore, my cars are more fun and enjoyable. I am getting to be friends with a lesbian though, she is low drama and big into cars. She has a 67 Mustang and a Yota rock crawler, she's like a dude but with indoor plumbing.

Its just how they are, accept it, no need to hate or dislike them over it, its just how they are.

  184.  @Dgreen4154  yeah? You think so do ya? Living in another country, learning their language and culture, travelling to nearby countries, and seeing the world while being paid to do so, isn't as good as flying somewhere, staying in a hotel for a day or two, and moving on to another hotel? I suppose if you backpack across Europe and Asia that would be more immersive. I drove around Europe and rode the trains all over as well. Moscow and Belgrade to the east, Paris (not pleasant at all), London (nice 30 years ago) and Belfast to the west of Europe. Dubai, Cairo, Mombasa, and Kuwait City to the south, and all over Korea while I was there, even though I had almost no money in Korea. Berlin was ok, was in Frankfurt when the wall came down in 1989. Got a nice big chunk of it on my shelf. I got to know Frankfurt exceptionally well, I walked and drove all over the area, what a wonderful place it was back then. My deployments were to Kuwait and Iraq (maybe others, its hard to tell when you're flying around loading/offloading stuff) and yet I went to all those other places. If you're a low ASVAB score 11b or something, or in the Navy and you get a day or two shore liberty every few months, then yeah, you don't see much. I was USAF and I could travel just about anywhere easily. I could put myself on a cargo plane going somewhere as long as I had leave, my job was cargo so we could do that. Was going to make the South America embassy run in 2003 when I got back from Korea, but a little thing over in the desert started. We get 30 days paid leave a year, and it accumulates if we don't use it. With all my time working, I could take months off at a time when I wanted to. I came home to the US twice on leave (when I was 21 and when I was 33), but most of it was used overseas. I flew to Dubai 3 times on leave, spent 6 weeks there in total. So how do we not see the world?

  185. Men build things. When we build and improve something, that is where we derive a lasting satisfaction. Do not chase happiness, its fleeting and is based on feelings. Accomplishment, overcoming obstacles, doing difficult things, and increasing your capability and knowledge is what builds men. We have to build ourselves, we don't achieve by simply existing, we don't have value unless we can do something valuable. Build you and your skills, then apply those skills to your environment, and if you want tail... well it will come to you. That is another skill set you have to build. If you think of life like Skyrim, where you have to improve by doing things, and there is a wide range of skills you can improve, you'll get the idea. Why do you think they make game like that? Why do you think its compelling and draws you in? Its because we are wired to build, create, and improve. Stop doing it in video games, and do it in real life. Ok you can game a couple hours here and there, AFTER you have put in the day's work on yourself.

She is the oldest one I ever spent that much time on, super rare to find someone that isn't repulsive. Around here their attitudes are horrid in their early 20s. I have better things to do than waste time with them. Almost anything I do is a better use of my time.

  190. Office jobs.. people always whine and complain about office jobs. Ya know, there are other jobs you can do that aren't so soul sucking and confining... I find it amusing, live in a big city, pay ludicrous rent, ride the bus or train, get paid a big number but the cost of living is so high that I am doing better living alone out in the woods on less than $100k a year. You're barely squeaking by, will be in debt the rest of your life, but you seem to think you are successful. There are things I won't do. Like work for minimum wage stocking shelves, sit behind a screen and being yelled at by 5 bosses for not putting a cover sheet on my TPS report, and other busy work where you don't do anything productive, you don't make anything, you just shuffle paper around. Thats a fate worse than death to me. I'd much rather be sweating in a shop, under a vehicle on a lift, rebuilding the transmission. Or growing food in a field, making vodka fuel for my old cars from cattails, or building sheds, shops, and houses. I am debt free, own 13 acres of woodland, my house is paid off, the cars are all paid off, and I can rebuild them at my leisure. Its what I do for fun actually, take a rusty heap, and turn it into a cool looking, rather fast, daily driver, then drive it all summer. I like to see the product of my effort... I can be my own boss, I can employ others, I can work with others too... and I have useful skills, even when the world goes automated with AI. There are things the robots won't be able to do and I already do them.

  191. Yesterday I was listening to a channel talking about the end of permanent alimony in Florida. The females were whining about what they are going to do... you know was well as I do that every damn one of them caused herself to be divorced, alone, is now unwanted. They always blame the man for their own actions, they never take responsibility.

  192. The same ideology qadaffi was using, is the same one pushed by the cackling monster that squealed with glee when he expired. He wasn't controlled by her, so they removed him. The same ideology is behind the video you reviewed here. Expiration is not a bug of it, expiration is a feature at the core of it

  193.  @Demial_Sparda  yeah there are lots of words I am not allowed to write on here. I've taken to calling 'not men' them or they but at some point they will just make it so nothing I write shows up... They can't handle reality.

  194. Haven't heard the hamster wheel analogy since redditbanned a certain sub. They will fight to keep the delusion, putting in a huge amount of effort to preserve it. The more I see of them, the more of these videos, and the interactions I have in public, the less I want anything to do with them.

  195. I'm not broke, not poor, I am doing ok, own my home free and clear, and I drive cool stuff that I build. WHY SHOULD I HELP THEM? Why should I save them? What the hell do I get from it? NOTHING... YOU GET NOTHING.

  196. If he can't get any where in the US, he probably isn't going to overseas either. I had no problem overseas while in the USAF, had no problem in the states either. However, the women are vastly better in Asia, Africa, and eastern Europe than they are in North America.

  197. I get them to leave without drama, such as boiling pets and setting fire to my stuff, by being nice to them and paying a bill of hers works great for the stubborn ones. I get them to stick around by not GAF about them and making them work to be around me. If they aren't intimidated by me, they are not attracted to me.

  198. Thats kinda like the military life, except people aren't trying to ventilate you and you don't have to put up with certain things, like shaving and weight limits.. heh. I was in Dubai in 1991, it was a bit different then. Traveled all over Europe 89-91, when I wasn't stuck on the flightline working airplanes for months on end because of Desert Shield/Storm. Went to Korea for a year too, that was enjoyable other than the personal things going on, namely a divorce. Kuwait has a really nice Hilton, the USAF put me up in it with a $350 a night room to myself om 2004. I live in a very scenic part of the lower 48 states, the upper peninsula of Michigan. Every time I drive into town is a trip through beautiful places with overlooks of Lake Superior. Right now in mid to late October the trees have changed and its stunning... just like every year. Soon the snow will come and I will be buried under several feet of it. Spring is always most welcome, April dumps a blizzard on us at least once but usually twice, so its annoying. My closest sibling is 1000 miles away. I like a life of isolation, after the military I am accustomed to it. I am used to not seeing friends for years, and not talking to other people for months. Sometimes I go so long without talking that my voice surprises me. I could travel the world, and be an expat super easy, but I am big into muscle cars from the 60s and 70s. I own 13 acres of land, built my house on it, the shop where I build my cars, and I can grow food, produce fuel, and live off my land entirely if I have to.

  200.  @superdave8248  the USAF boot camp was super easy for me. I wrestled in high school, grew up on a farm, they only wanted us to do 30 push ups and sit ups, a mile and a half run in under 11 minutes. I went to basic being able to run almost two miles in ten minutes and could crank out 200 push ups or and sit ups easily, I could do sets of 200 when I was 19. They said I was overweight and messed with me about it the entire time I was in. The marines wanted me to repair armor, the Navy offered me nuke school in Goose Creek SC, the USAF said you can push pallets of cargo and net cargo down on pallets. The Army only offered me infantry.. I did not want to be on a submarine, or a carrier, down in the bottom of the thing being a snipe. Didn't want to be the smartest guy in my platoon in the army sleeping in mud, and I honestly considered the Marines, except you could end up on a boat out in the ocean even if you were an armor tech. So yeah I loaded cargo planes. It was 1988 so there was no stress card nonsense, and three candy aqss types from California wimped out of super easy USAF basic. They claimed they got high while on delayed enlistment so they could get out. It was an entirely different military in the 1980s and early 90s.

  201. I have ONE that I was seeing with whom I am still friends. She is cool, wasn't all that attractive, but we got along great and still do 5 years after we ended it. The 7 hour travel time between us was the problem more than anything else. All the others from my past, once its over they do not hear from me again and most never even see me again. They have to earn it if they want to spend time with me. I have to talk to the first ex wife because we had kids. The second ex I actively avoid, but I still bump into her in a store or something every 3 or 4 years, its a small community here. I am polite and treat her like someone I know but don't want to be around when I see her. She really screwed up her life, at 30, thinking she could do better.. she found out she can't. She is 42 now, and unwanted.
    6
  202. It involved a bit more than making females uppity, but yeah that is a big part of it. It also involved market manipulation, printing money that isn't backed by anything of value, and the US having a huge wealth siphon pulling from us since 1913. The cause of it is shortsighted, feminine thinking, and the weak males think like females.

  203.  @missourimongoose8858  they aren't built to carry a 90lb ruck with all the stuff they need to survive in it, let alone haul it dozens of miles without stopping. If they are made to work like we do their bodies wear out in weeks rather than decades. My job was in logistics, USAF air cargo. They did none of the heavy lifting jobs, and most of what they did was screwed up.

  204.  @jaybee6505  in my 40s I was banging 20 somethings so easily it was surprising as hell to me. Say no to them, treat them like a little kid, and ten minutes later she is pulling you into her. The problem is most of them are moms going it alone now. They have kicked out every man who would have been there for her, hoping to do better. They don't do better, just more often.

  205.  @Gunsight-One  hey man, good to see you again. I made another reply about that, check out my others, I think I managed to avoid bad words while writing it. TLDR is I got sick helping her dad, she took off with a kid who has no future nor ambition, but feels entitled to everything, and he left her 6 years ago give or take a year. Now she is 41, alone, unwanted, and when her mom dies, and she rips through the inheritance, she will be in a world of hurt.

  207.  @budbas  based on rank, time in service, and time in grade, everyone in the military gets paid on the same scale. So that guy climbing a mountain with someone dropping grenades down at him gets paid the same as she does sitting in an office filling out forms... and he will get an ok performance report and she will get a stellar one, regardless of her job performance. As an NCO I was forced to give them top marks on performance reports, but the males I had to justify all of it unless they were one of the 'favorite special ones' who did next to nothing in reality, but was lauded for the most minor and mundane things. Enlisted performance reports (EPRs) are a scale of 1 to 5. 1 and 2 is discharge them at the earliest, 3 is what you give to someone who is barely able to function. 4 is what you get when you aren't doing a bunch of things for the local community, going to school for higher ed, or have your nose so deep in your boss you can see what he just had for breakfast, but you are VERY good at your job. 5 is what you get when you're that last guy, female by default, or you are absolutely outstanding and have not intimidated the guy writing the EPR. Your EPR plays a pat in the points you need to get promoted, so do awards/medals/decorations. I was screwed out of many medals for doing things nobody else could do, because I am freakishly muscular. The 90-91 airlift packed 50lbs of muscle on me in around 6 months. I got an achievement medal for working 5000 airplanes in the first six weeks of Desert Shield. My Colonel during Shield/Storm said E3s do not get commendations, which is what my performance warranted, so I got an award worth 1 point rather than 2. There was a gasp from my gaining unit when my award was read to the squadron in 1992, usually you get an achievement for participating in something, what I did was superhuman, it normally would take a crew of 5 to do what I did single handed. They don't want someone who can bench press 500lbs, they want someone skinny who brown noses, and looks good in uniform... or bleeds a week every month and does very little actual work. Females came back from deployments where they sat in AC doing safe non difficult paperwork/office jobs, and got awards for showing up. That means they were promoted faster.

  208. Anyone can produce a study and get it to say what they want it to say. Skew the inputs and then come to conclusions not aligned with what the data shows and you have a 'study' that proves your narrative. When its something like personality and human nature, or mental concerns, its such a wide range of vague things that people can make it say whatever they want. I know more about PTSD and how to fix it than most if not all of the psych people, because I have lived with it for more than 45 years... and I have learned how to deal with it, why certain things happen, and how to limit the negative effects while maximizing the positives. The shrinks don't care, they wanna push meds.

  209.  @alan2102X  ok, you are using logic and reason, something not prevalent with those on the left. Her implication is if you have invisible sky fairy friends, then you are going to hate people who don't need sunscreen. I can attest to that, because I am one of those sunscreen types who was met with derision and suspicion in the USAF from the members who did not need sunscreen. They simply assumed I would thing poorly of them, because of how I look. It was less prevalent in the 80s and early 90s, but by 2000 it was nearly impossible for me to make friends or even have a conversation with someone who doesn't need sunscreen. The most annoying thing about that is I have a preference for ladies with that all over tan that doesn't fade in winter. The difference in my attractiveness to women between 22 years old in 1991 and 31 in 2001 was huge, women were throwing themselves at me, especially in uniform.... but not the ones I preferred over those who need sunscreen. The attitude the chick in this video has was the norm for females with her complexion in the US. Overseas it was game on off base, same as the 80s and 90s, but in the US it was very rare for me to get one of them to spend time with me. Meanwhile the Asian women would pester me all the time, even when they were married. Latinas like me almost as much as Asian women... The community got the attitude, and they have the prejudice against us. This chick is alluding to it just like so many others have. She wants a rough hands type of man, and they simply are not going to be the soft urban blue haired type.

  210.  @dr.vonslifeinvesting6485  life still is a lot better than the city, but you work longer hours, and its not some soul sucking cubicle job, its actual work. Soft hands candyass types won't do it. Living on a farm you learn to do all sorts of things. You can't call someone to drive out and fix it for you, you can't go buy a new one, so you have to know how to repair things and keep them working. Planned obsolescence sucks for rural people. I lived in cities while I was in the USAF, it hard core sucked. Out here I can do what I want, own what I want, piss where I want. I hated living in cities, but I did it because I had to.

  212.  @RaptureHead1993  I wonder about normal people. I benched 265 when I was 17 and weighed 170. That was in 1987, my senior year. Benched 330 a year later before I enlisted. 450 after the first war in 90, so I have no idea where 'normal' people are. As for my daedlift, I can pick up 500lbs and carry it, even now at 54. Not bragging, I really want to know what is typical for males today. When I was 14 120lbs was more than I could lift. Most of my strength came from the farm work and my military job. How bad is it for young men today?

  213.  @anthonywilliams7052  when you get older, like 48 and up, and have lost interest in having them around for any more time than it takes to bust one out, you aren't worried about moistness, and the trouble of meeting any of them makes it not worth the effort. Its an interesting thing. However, when they are over 40, every orifice is now open for business, and they will do anything to keep you coming back. They seem to realize they are unwanted, but their ego won't allow them to accept it. Oh and the ones with the big racks are hideous later... those things sag well below their waist, think of over ripe deflating melons in a tube sock and you get the idea. The smaller ones often still have ok lookin racks over 50. However, most just let themselves go, they get portly and irritable. Had one around 60 hit on me the other day. I was going to my VA appointment and was taking the steps two at a time, she was impressed to see a man with gray hair and beard doing that. It was fun watching her lose interest when I explained its because I am crippled from my last deployment in 2004, and as long as I can walk I make the most of it. I earned my gray hair so I wont dye it, and I try to look both out of shape and non wealthy when I go out. Sometimes they see my muscle cars and realize I am not as bad off as it seems... and I just say thanks when they tell me I have a "nice car."

  214.  @Vickzq  most of the ones who stepped out on me while we were dating, have tried to come back. Both wives tried to come back. The first is still trying, 23 years after the living hell with her ended. How delusional and entitled does someone have to be to think they could come back when they were horrible in marriage, vindictive and capricious in the divorce, and now weighs over 300lbs with massive debt when they were only 120lbs at the start and 135 when the marriage ended? Yeah sure I will take that back.. She has been trying since 2002, when she realized how much more difficult life is without me handling the heavy stuff. NEVER EVER TAKE THEM BACK.

  215. I live alone, in the woods, building vintage muscle cars that I drive all summer. I have money in the bank and the freedom to do what I want, when I want to do it. I don't remember the last time I got laid, because I honestly don't care about it. I've had so many women in my life, that the memories kind of blend together into a generic mass of sameness. Driving an old GTO with well over 500hp is vastly more enjoyable. Had some silly bint try to hit my GTO yesterday, she just merged into the lane I was currently occupying, like she was entitled to be there. How the hell she could miss my loud as hell bright pearl blue car is beyond me. I stomped the gas and got out of the path of her vehicle. Lucky for me I had room ahead of me, because I don't drive like a dolt. its always some brainless twit doing that sort of thing.

  217. The people in those videos are insufferable. I'd surmise they are very safe from ever having to experience their favorite fantasy. For years I had to defend myself, nobody was going to do it for me. I got huge and well trained as a result. I protect me and my kids, everyone else is on their own.

  219. Military service. Property ownership. Business ownership that actually produces something tangible, as in not onlygrans. The only difference would be adding veterans, otherwise that is exactly how it worked prior to 1865. Giving a say to people who have done nothing, do nothing, put in nothing will only result in them demanding they get more from everyone else.

  220. Leave the cities to live cheaper. I traveled the world already, didn't make it to South America or Australia, no reason to go to Antarctica, but it would be kinda fun to say I been there. In 2013 when I got divorced for the final time, I bought my land out in the woods. 13 acres for less than $30k. Got a $30k building loan in 2015 and built my shop and house with that. I built it, as in I did not have a contractor build it. Paid it all off in 2021, several years early on a ten year note. I can grow food, raise animals, go fishing in the worlds largest freshwater lake and you can drink directly from said lake. I produce fuel to run my vehicles from cattails. My land is easily defended, if anyone can find it. There are countries where you are going to end up being just as broke as the locals, and stuck with draconian laws. You really do not want to screw up in another country.

  222. They blame us for their own bad choices, actions, and irrational impulses. Its NEVER her fault, its always our fault... all of us, even those of us who have never known her and would not even acknowledge she exists. Had one stalking me in the grocery store on Monday, late 30s, with her teenage daughter. I was getting supplies I need to make bread, she walked by and said "Hi there" I kept doing what I was doing, did not look at her, and said "oh, hey ya." I was trying to find the yeast because they moved everything in the store over the last two months. Its starting to happen more often again, as it gets more difficult for them to pay their bills. I purposely try to look unappealing in public, and they still try to get my attention. Its going to get worse for them.

  223.  @prussiansocietyofamerica  here's what I have found about them, I am mid 50s. In their 20s they want me for fun, riding in my muscle cars, bedroom fun, etc. In their 30s they have wasted their 20s, probably have a kid, and they have to work so they want someone to rescue them and make it so they don't have to work anymore. They want someone to fund their shopping spree and party life that they wasted their 20s on. In their 40s they are starting to get desperate, so when they find a man who gives them tingles, they will do anything for him.. every orifice is fair game, and if she has some money she will spend it on you trying to keep you around. They are entering boxed wine and cat land in their 40s. In their 50s they are worn down, desperate, depressed, and they reek of bad choices and regret. Above that the ones who used to be 9s are the only ones who get any attention in their 60s and older. They are deep in boxed wine and cat land after 45. In their 20s they are like candy. Enjoy it and don't pay for it with them. However, most guys, probably including you, are not going to be able to attract the average college chick when you're 40 or 50, because you don't look good... A guy with a comb over desperately clinging to his youth as it slips away, dyeing the ring of hair around the back of his head, trying to dress like a young man, usually buying a Corvette or something... yeah, they didn't build themselves in their 20s and 30s so they are invisible other than the wallet.

  224.  @genericdeveloper3966  yep the ones in juicy bars are there to make money off guys, we had them in Korea right out the front gate of the base. I hooked up with the Russian ones, they were not going to do anything like this because they were run by the banditi... You do not mess with the cash flow of those guys. I got to know some of the guys, learning Russian from them and the ladies, and the only time you can relax is when you're the cash cow outside a military base. The stories they told me of things in other countries... man.

  225. Its not up to you. It doesn't matter so much what YOU do. The choice is not yours if she will stay or leave. Sure, date with intention, look for that long term quality relationship, and at any time she can decide to trade you in for cash and prizes... and those prizes and that cash is taken from you and awarded to her no matter what she does. In essence you are putting her in control of your future, finances, and life, because she can ruin all of them on a whim.

  226. Old guy take. Don't worry about it, split tails do not decide our worth or value, especially now since they think they are all worthy of the top 1% when they weigh as much as I do. Really, if you've never had one, you aren't missing much. I get it though, I remember when I was 16 and had that burning need to find out. Until 16 I was stuck on the farm, 20 miles from the nearest town over 400 people, that had new meat that wasn't in school with me. I had a HUGE drive, seriously my brain didn't work if the pipes weren't clean. Honestly it was annoying. My main focus was on doing things, I wanted to drive and race fast cars I built. That hasn't changed in 50 years. To satisfy that drive, I learned how to talk to them, what to say, what not to say, how to act, what to do, what not to do. What you don't do is more important than what you do.. except for lifting, that is the biggest thing that can change your life, if you're a skinny dude or more portly and rotund like me, lifting is like magic. Lift heavy, lift often. Get to where you can bench over 300lbs for reps. Trust me on that. I learned by observing them, and I learned A LOT like a HUUUUGE amount from the first one I got. That one displayed everything they all do so obviously, it was easy to watch and learn. I could tell who that one was attracted to by the expression, the body language. After that I looked for the ones who had those expressions and body tells directed at me. I had some super hot ones and also had some who would be considered normal now but were big for the 80s and 90s, usually when I got stationed at a new base. Dry spell breakers is how I saw it. Needed to get to know how the local culture operated, and a big one was a low effort means of finding out. The military really jacked up my game, just saying hello to a split tail on base was enough to get in trouble, because I am only 5'8" and not tall enough to speak to them. So sorry your highness.. but off base you're a 2 and I am a 7, they damn well knew it too. Thats why the erroneous assertions flew. I was second guessing, holding back, not acting when I should have and cutting myself out of the picture by doing or saying something I should not have. The two Russians in a hotel room with me in Korea are one that REALLY bugs me today. Here in the US they would be 9s, but for Russians they were 5-6s or maybe 7s on a good day. Dat thigh gap tho. Didn't let that happen again, Korea was fun when I had money, which wasn't often. These days with two ex's and nobody knows how many notches, its easy to see that they were a monumental waste of time. Seriously, playing video games is far more beneficial to you than chasing split tails. Its one hell of a lot cheaper. Not saying you should waste your life on games, quite the contrary, you need to build your life and make it one worth living, even if you never sink deep into the pink tuna scented orifices. There isn't much variance in them, mainly the wrapper changes, the program in their heads is the same, the way it feels in there has a little variance, but its mostly the same. Size, shape, and hues, thats the only variables. Smaller is better to me, big is like gettin busy with a mattress. Taller than me was interesting but so was the 4'9-5'3 ones. They all want the same things from you. Money, attention, validation. Their worth and value is decided by us, and which of us they can get to put a ring on it. They hate that fact, and have been trying to demand it changes but we do not care how much money they make, if they own a house, a car, have a job, etc. Its meaningless to us, and everything to them that we have those things. If they have it, they can remove us from it any time they feel like it, and they get VERY irrational every month. The problem now is that the court will take everything from you and give it to them when they get irrational. Thats the main reason I live alone and don't really talk to them. I own my home and land without debt, I have money in the bank, and I am enjoying life. A judge could take all of that and hand it to someone who had no part in building it, no effort spent whatsoever, just because they have to squat or sit to drain the bladder... thats all it takes to have everything given to you without effort, it only requires indoor plumbing.

  227.  @raedgaj3878  ignore them, do something that adds value to your life that interests you. The vast majority of men though history never reproduced, and some of them who did not were the greatest minds. Tesla and Newton for instance. Look at the bright side, you are not being told to go over the top, not being forced to go down with a ship, not catching some disease in camp. You can do any damn thing you want with your life. Most of us do not matter regardless of what we do, so we should do what matters to us. I build old cars and trucks, because I like to drive them. Its one of the things I do with my time on this planet.

  230. His early life is very relatable to me, even though I grew up in the US and traveled Europe while in the military, when he was a little kid. A Nebraska farm was not the place to be in the 70s and 80s if you wanted to be wealthy. If you wanted to work to the point you had callouses thick enough to string barbed wire fence without gloves, that is the life for you. The gravel roads, miles away from everything, driving crap cars, wanting out more than anything... yeah, samey same.

  233. You don't need to be as big as he is, or as big as I am to get female attention. You simply have to be bigger than most guys in your area. Definitely lift and put on mass, its HUGELY beneficial as far as your capabilities are concerned, shoot for 17" arms and bench pressing 300lbs or so, and you are right in the sweet spot. I'm 54, twice divorced, and I actively push women away. I was never a bodybuilder, but I was somewhat forced to be a power lifter by the USAF. I'm not as big as he is, my arms have shrunk to 20" from the 22" they were in 1991 after my first war. I get the same reactions he does when I am low BF%, and I still get plenty of interest from women where I am right now in BF%. I use this name because the USAF always marked me down and messed with me about my muscle mass, saying I was morbidly obese. By BMI I am beyond morbidly obese.. lol, so is that body builder. You probably will never get as big as I am, but thats not a problem. 15" to 17" arms is more than enough to get attention from women. I had 15" arms when I enlisted back in 1988 and it was easy to pick them up. The mind numbing amount of work I did to gain 7" of muscle mass in less than one year is far beyond what most people will ever do. What I did when I was 21 hurts a lot at 54, believe that. Having this much mass on a 5'8 frame causes issues with joints, connective tissue, blood pressure, and breathing. I am the same size and strength as a medium sized silverback gorilla. However, if I dropped 30-40lbs so you could see my six pack, there would be no shortage of women trying to get my attention. I used to drop 40lbs every November in high school for wrestling, I'd go from looking big to absolutely ripped and gaunt looking. I don't want to do that, I like not having to deal with females constantly. After two divorces and losing everything I owned other than some old rusty cars, I just don't have the interest in them I did 30 years ago. I wear baggy clothes I get at hardware stores, like Menards, Lowes, and Tractor Supply.. I kid you not. I do not want their attention and expense... ok once in a while some nookie is good, but its a lot of Bravo Sierra to get some, and the risks (legal). I forget how much larger I am than everyone else, then I see myself in a photo or a video next to normal people and I am always surprised. My community page has a big of me at a distance with my 65 GTO, lined up with my family and our vehicles if you want to see what I mean. I can lift some very heavy stuff.

  234.  @ryantucker2166  They give spicy starfish to the guy with $$$ and monkeybackflips to the guy with biology. I've never been the man with a bankroll, but before they all required a 6'4" minimum, apparently I had the biology. I'm old, twice divorced, and done with them. Rusty old cars are far more interesting, and a vastly better investment.

  235. Life in the PI for locals isn't a soft easy life like females in the US, so they have a more accurate assessment of themselves. The easier and softer the life, the more egotistical and delusional females become. Two of the Russians I got with in Korea in 2003 hit on me, one came up to me in a Russian shop just off base and asked if I had a GF. I told her I didn't have any money, because my ex wife was getting it all, which was the truth. Didn't matter to her, so she met me after her shift for three months. In Seoul I had college age and high schoolers asking to take their photo with me. I am a 5'8 blue eyed muscle bound freak with blond hair (now gray), Asian women like me a lot because of the eyes and my arms/chest. I was 34 when I was in Korea. I did very well overseas with women.

  238. @@ConontheBinarianI know you're not directing that at me, but I'll expound a bit. They look at me and smile, then look down and away, if you know what that means. Usually I make eye contact and no facial expressions. Then they will start a conversation with me, and I am polite, friendly, and keep my profanity to a minimum. There is this thing that happens often if I am not like that, I get a call from the sheriff telling me I can't go there anymore. Its my physical size, despite being relatively short at 5'8" plus I have lots of muscle and am built like a gorilla, also my military bearing/demeanor terrifies people. Staying quiet agitates people, so I talk to them in a soothing voice, crack a couple jokes, and treat them like I have known them forever. So I am polite and friendly to everyone. If you act 'nice' it usually makes them lose interest. I had a great many assertions made against me without reason or evidence in the past. I've pretty much figured out how to avoid that, and still be allowed in public. Going to jail for things you did not do sucks. Which is also why I don't date.

  243.  @Čangrizavi_Cinik  you need a much larger country than Ireland or any European country, for immigration to work. Its about the people coming there assimilating to a better culture than the one they came from. Like Bo says, enclaves work ok as long as everyone assimilates to the general culture. My family came from Germany in 1867, 30 miles north of where I grew up they are all Swedes, 40 miles south east they are Polish. Thing is our families all learned English and adapted to the US culture while keeping the parts of our own that we liked.. like our food and the way we work. Yes, that is still Euro people, but now the first few waves of Latinos are assimilating to the culture, and they have their own enclaves in small towns where most of the European descendants left when the farm economy went to hell in the 70s and 80s. It takes a couple generations for it to work. Small countries in Europe are too insular without enough space and opportunity for the immigrants.... and yeah, the people from desert regions have a culture so far removed from Swedes and other Euros that you can just say they are incompatible in the extreme.

  244.  @MadaraUchiha-ly8wr  I have one friend, I have known him since 1985, and I was good friends with his dad who was a science teacher at my school. We do car things together, and we have remained friends through things that would have torn others apart. We live 1000 miles apart and hang out every other year when I go home. Quality friends are rare. I have others I know, some are loyal, some are useful, but as long as they treat me right I will do right by them in return. Thats the thing we need to remember: Be a man of whom its worth being a friend. Integrity, honor, and loyalty. If they break it, that is on them. Most of them will break that trust. Appreciate those who don't.

  245. Bo, thanks for the daily reminders of how much better and less stressful my life is without one of them in it. The more I speak to them in public, and the more videos I see them making, the less I want to be around them. 11 years single, not looking, not asking, but doing my thing and my life is quite enjoyable. Honestly I don't care if my no no square is ever touched by someone else again, its not worth all the drama and stress they bring with them.

Went there three times in 1991.

Ten years since my divorce and I have only found one, who lives 7 hours away. We are still friends though. It was a huge change for me, because she would get tickets to concerts then tell me to drive down and go with her. Took me to a Cubs game, and it was the first pro sports event I have ever been to that was not drag racing. Women like her are exceptionally rare.

  251.  @HappyGoFunTimes  you can assume that, but if he has training the mass doesn't negatively impact him as much as you might think. It will limit his range of motion, I have the same problem, but not to the same extent. I wrestled in high school, at 167lbs and 5'8", benched 265lbs that year A year later after farm and construction work it was over 300. I overpowered all the state champs on my team, including the 185lb two time champ who went on to play nose guard in the NFL for Jacksonville, Carolina, and Denver. The smaller guys had zero chance against me, even the 155s, and I whupped on state champs from other schools, but not at my weight. 167 was the toughest weight, you had to be fast like the light guys, and strong like the big guys. All of that training still works despite the fact I am 54 now, and a hell of a lot stronger. I benched over 500 back in 2003, someone asked if I could, and I didn't know so we found out. Its probably higher than that, I never checked. For being 300lbs you would be very surprised at how fast I can move when I want to, and how quietly. Once you know how to move quick like a wrestler, that muscle memory stays with you the rest of your life. I figure it will go away if I make it to 70, but for now its still here. If he has BJJ training or something like it, small guys will get obliterated. Small to him is someone under 250lbs. Without training he will still be fast and explosive, so you have to avoid letting him grab something, like a wrist.. because he will dislocate your shoulder with a twitch.

Just force the dad into poverty is how Nebraska does it. On the bright side, it was 2001 and everything was paid off in 2015. Now, ten years on, my life is good.. but, it could have been a hell of a lot better if I had never put that albatross around my neck.

  254. 12 days. TWELVE. That is how much time I was allowed with my two daughters in the first 7 years, 2001 to 2008. That is what Nebraska considers 'reasonable visitation' and it gets MUCH worse from there. 71% of my gross military pay was just right for them too. I lived in my car from 2001 to 2004 as a result. Fathers have zero rights, only responsibilities.

  255. 55 and despite being disabled by the military, I stay active. Live alone in the woods and you will be active. I am usually hauling wood pellets all winter, I can unload fifty 80lb bags, two at a time, in about 20 minutes. I get a nice little workout running my snowblower clearing my 400' driveway, and the 200' circle when nothings parked there. In summer I am cutting trees, running them through my sawmill, shoveling tons of gravel. I might be the most active gimpy old guy you'd ever meet. I can only do so much though, roughly 4 to 6 hours a day, and three to maybe four days a week, and the knees, hips, etc are done. I have to have something to sit on while I work on my cars, and I bought a lift for my shop so I don't have to lay under them. When the snow is gone, or at least manageable, the dog and I will take laps around the driveway again. I can feel it if I am not active enough. EVERYTHING hurts if I don't move. I had a VERY active life when I was younger, wore out the lower half of me by the time I was 35. Put in the work when you're young, and you'll benefit when you're old. I can still lift REALLY heavy stuff, just cant carry it as far anymore. You probably won't over do it like what happened to me, unless you are involved in some major conflict, so get off the couch and go do things.

  256. I had a VERY high drive from 12 to 38, and that did cause me some problems, but mainly it was a dearth of quality mates which men are all seeing now, that caused the problems. Not so much poor choices, just poor options and opportunities. I've been comfortable being alone since I was a kid in the 1970s, didn't have much choice living on a farm with a family that was on a scale of indifferent to hateful towards me. No escape without a car and the nearest town is 20 miles away. Being married or living with someone never felt comfortable to me, but as long as I was getting the drive handled I put up with everything else. The last 12 years have been a lot better, living alone, avoiding entanglements, not having to pay for someone who provides nearly nothing. The work I had to do on myself was to make the PTSD from my older brother trying to end me several times and dad throwing me into walls and kicking me when he was frustrated. Gained a lot of ground on that 2009 to 2011, it was not fun. Others have proven themselves to be untrustworthy, everyone gets the same chance to be a trusted member of my circle, but most fail at the very simple requirement of being honorable and trustworthy.

  258.  @Gunsight-One  its been going on for over 30 years. I am seeing the civilian world having the same things I saw in the military in the 80s and 90s. Females think they are far more valuable than they actually are, so they will find it repulsive if you speak to them while not being attractive. They are very prone to making assertions against you as a result. I went off base to get spicy time, and I did VERY well with the locals in Europe, Asia, and Africa. Military females think they are 10s when they are 2s, and that goes back a long way. 6000 single men on my first base in 1989, about 300 single females. Do the math. They received an incongruent amount of attention for their attractiveness. So of course they thought they were superhot.

  262. You hit something there, but it works somewhat differently than you might think. You learn from your father when you are little, dad's teach empathy, fair play, and a whole lot more. Moms cannot do it. Dads are most important between age 3 and 30, far more than others are. Dad's teach you how to be an adult. Now where you missed something is how my dad taught me things from about 8 until I was in my 40s and he was in his 60s. He was 25 years older than me. He taught me by not being there, not doing it for me, and not helping me at all. He actually made it more difficult for me, especially compared to my siblings. I have 3 brothers and 2 sisters, I am the second one. I planted, raised then sold sweet corn to buy my first car at age 13. I bought the seed, paid dad for the fuel we used to plant it, and then dad took $2000 of the $2500 I earned selling it. Then I bought my car, a 1967 Cougar. Dad drove it to his job in town for the 3 years before I turned 16. 25 miles one way. I got a very worn out car as a result. I had to try to keep it running, and he didn't bring me parts for it. If he did it was after it sat waiting for months. I needed a car to get a job off the farm, the car was broken so I could not get a job.. vicious circle. I learned how to rebuild things, repair things, and to do it with the most basic tools, just keeping that car running. On my 17th birthday I bought my second car for $175 from a junkyard, it was wrecked, hit in the front on the passenger side. A 1972 GTO. I scrounged parts for that one, and eventually drove it as a daily driver into the mid 1990s. I learned to build engines the right way with that car. You see if dad had done all of that for me, I would not have learned how to do it. I would not have learned how to scrounge parts, make deals trading things to other guys who had the stuff I wanted, and to crawl around junkyards looking for the stuff I needed. I learned to make money to buy the things I could not make, and I made money doing the car thing too. By the time I was 17 I had surpassed my dad in automotive knowledge as well as muscle mass. Dad got the ball rolling when I was 8, taught me the most basic things like repacking wheel bearings which I did on all the farm equipment twice a year until I left the farm at 17. I learned everything else on my own, except for rebuilding transmissions and doing alignments, which I learned to do in votech school. Dads teach you self reliance by NOT helping you. However if he is not allowed to be there for you learning the basics, like how to use tools, its going to be a hard time learning all the small stuff on your own. However, I have friends who are good at the things I do, and their dad never touched a wrench in his life. If you want it, you will find a way to make it happen. Dad's get you started, and sorta hang around to tell you to get up, check to see if you're bleeding, then say "Yeah, you're ok, its not that bad" as you get back to it even though it freakin hurt. I did that with my daughters, they would do something brilliant like stand up under the table and whack their head on it. I'd see the tears welling up and I'd say, come here, make sure they didn't give themselves a concussion, pop them on the butt and say get back to playin. As a result my daughters are tough as nails, they did not get coddled. They are almost 27 and 30. I didn't catch them when they fell, I let them learn on their own. Just one time playing with an outlet was all it took for them to realize 110v is gonna make your arm feel funny, so don't play with the outlet. Dad's let you screw up with supervision... You still have to learn on your own. You can do it without a dad too. Thats the whole point of being a man.

  263. I'm 55, not bald but my hair/beard is full gray and I don't dye it. The gray is earned. I am 5'8" but have 21" arms and a 60" chest, they like muscle and I have it (I look more like a gorilla than a body builder). I try to hide the muscle because I am not looking to have someone spawn camping my wallet, and I have stayed the sweaty f** guy to keep them away. I wear baggy hoodies, work pants, and ratty T shirts I get from Menards or Tractor Supply. They don't need to know my land and cars are worth more than a million, my net worth is getting up there, because I invest my entire income every month. My kid will get everything when I expire. Health dictates I have to stop looking and being f** and if I am not active enough everything that got screwed up in the military hurts and stops working. Even though I can get 20 somethings all the way to 70+, they are not worth it at any age. I've gotten plenty of strange in my life, did the entire bucket list other than twin sisters. That means I am content to live alone, build muscle cars, and spend my money on things that have a return on investment, like my land. Already been overseas and I had a lot of fun. There is only one thing I want from them, and its not much of a priority for me. Also superchargers are lots of fun on daily drivers.

  264. For the most part, you're spot on about them not being big. My second ex was homely, but she was also 115lbs and 5'7" and the heaviest she got was 135 while we were together. A 21 year old virgin when I met her, she cheated with a desperate sot (she was his first) when she turned 30. They lasted less than 4 years, now she is 41, alone, unwanted, even less attractive in the face, and around 135lbs. I just saw her last month. I figured she was too ugly to have anyone who appeared better than me show interest in her. Well I got messed up by some chemicals in paint, couldn't breathe for 6 months, and I guess I looked worse than that guy which is really path et ic. Around here if she is thin, she is into speeders (like ritalin, aderal or Walter White's special) otherwise she is large. Its simply not worth even talking to them.

  265. That is a case where you don't believe what they say, but you listen to them.

I'm not conversational in any other language (only English), but I can get around, get my point across, and the longer I am in a culture, the more of the language I learn. Key phrases and words make a big difference. The most important thing/phrase you can learn overseas is "Where is the toilet?" I discovered the need for that one in Mainz Germany in 1990.

  268. I have traveled the world already, South America, Australia, and Antarctica are the only continents I haven't been to yet. No rent to pay, because I own my land, home, vehicles, and am debt free. Building old muscle cars then driving them all summer, is far more enjoyable than chasing skirts, in any country. I had LOTS of fun in my youth, but in every country, in every woman, is the same program running. I don't want to deal with that program anymore. Spicy fun time is very enjoyable, its what comes before and after it that I am tired of. I am not the type who can sit around on the beach all day, watching waves. Gotta be doing something, and its preferable that its constructive. Respect and not being mistreated is VERY important to me. Back in 1990 while stationed in Europe I got engaged to a beautiful Arab woman who lived in Dubai. Her mother decided to not let us marry in 91 after I traveled there 3 times. Her mom did me a favor. We hadn't seen each other since 91, and she had been married to a German guy until 5 years ago. She came to visit me back in August. From the moment I picked her up at the airport, until I told her that she f'ed up by how she treated me a day later, it was a string of disrespect. Women who talk down to me get derision from me, because they could never accomplish what I have in my life. Its like being berated by a 5th grader as they try to tell you how life works. We used to talk a few times a month, video chatting, and she made it obvious that she wanted spicy fun time. She was not going to get it once she started in talking to me like her worthless ex, not that he is worthless, just that she saw him that way. I can see why the dude left her. She was vastly different 30 years ago. Kind, supportive, eager to please, wanted to do things for me. She was either hiding it from me, or living in Germany changed her. Doesn't matter to me really, she is 60 and very unpleasant to talk to.

  273. I have a friend, who has two kids, weighs about 250lbs, 34 years old, 5'4", and gets over 300 messages a day on dating aps. Not only that but the looks even when under 130lbs were not all that great. Three hundred... per day. Apps are useless to me, being 5'8" 55 years old, with bulky muscle covered just enough by soft stuff to keep my name on here. In person, its completely different if I go into town not wearing the clothes I wear while rebuilding my old cars. If I dyed my beard it would still be a large amount of interest coming my way. Just a salt and pepper look, rather than the pure gray/white it is now. I look the way I do to keep them away, because I cannot trust them and two divorces is enough for one lifetime. The last ten years have been spent rebuilding my life, and I am not going to waste the rest of my time on this planet on another one of 'them' and have to give everything to them when they are unfaithful. I have better things to do...

  274. I do not apologize unless I have done something heinously wrong, which I try not to do out of honor. I stand by what I say and do, and I mean what I say and do, though I often use sarcasm to get a point across. I sure as hell do not apologize for being male, or being masculine. If someone doesn't like it, well that is their problem, I am who I am and I am not changing to suit them. However, I am not an unbuilt, un-accomplished, untested, average man. The just be yourself thing doesn't work, you have to be better than you were yesterday, and better than others. Who I am is who I intend to be, not what I am by default.

I joined the US military, because it was way back in 1988 and that was my only option. Ever since if things aren't what I want, I change where i live, work, and what I do. Its not easy, there is risk involved. Thing is you need to be smart about it. Honestly avoiding women until you have your life where you want it is a very good idea. I find they drag you down and hold you back, rather than support you. I dated Russian, Ukraine, Polish, Uzbek, and women from other ex bloc countries while I was in Korea 20 years ago. Hotter than the sun, but a pain in the neck. Of course, they were the ones who were willing to do just about anything to get our of the hellholes where they were born.

  277. I had a lot of them, I was looking for just one with whom I could spend my life and make memories. Most of them just wanted the muscle bound freak memory, they'd go for a few times then try out some guy who was taller or had more money. I was married twice, and I was the first everything for the second one, but they BOTH did the same thing, stepped out, blamed me for it, and ruined their lives. They all thought they could do better, they didn't. They have proven to me that they are untrustworthy, so I am done with them. I till get hit on and they flirt with me, but I am disinterested. I play the nice guy and I keep my belly, it does a VERY nice job of keeping them away. I travelled the world, they're the same everywhere, only the wrapper changes, and the culture can keep them in check. Nothing else will. The Marine is learning a valuable lesson. The same one I learned in 1989. I build muscle cars and spend time with my dog.

  279. I traveled Europe 30 years ago when I was in the military. Everywhere except Paris and Belgrade (Yugoslavia just after the wall came down) was nice. I avoid cities here in the US, preferring the wide open spaces and forests between Michigan and Wyoming. It really depends on where you go as to what you will get. You won't be walking to the store from my house, unless you like walking a marathon, and you won't be doing that from November to May. A vehicle is required, not because something was planned that way, but because of the vast distances. I put 4000 miles on my truck between 24 August and September 24, I do that often. I made another 2500 mile round trip earlier in July. I like that drive, it takes me 14 hours, but its enjoyable when I start in the early morning when the sun comes up about 0530, and I get to my destination in the evening. Next year I will probably use my dashcam to make a video of the entire run. If you are used to and do not like big city life in the US, then the small towns in Europe and out here in the states most people don't know exist are for you. Don't expect to have lots of free stuff handed to you out here in the crimson 'flyover' places, but that means you won't see people camped on the streets, shootinup, and doing all the other things you see in the big crime infested cities. Taking a train in Europe works great, I used them when I was over there, the distances are much shorter than the US. Taking a train to get from my home to my destination earlier this year, is a five day ordeal of waiting around for the train to pick people up, going the wrong way so you can get a connection, and waiting around for the next one to come in tomorrow. Same with a bus, if you have several days you can just ride around then it should be lots of fun. Hollywood doesn't show the part of the USA I am from and live in, they show a caricature of it at times, where everyone is portrayed as none too bright and marrying their sister. Then they make the cities look far better than they actually are, not all like the cesspools they have been turned into. Yeah, the movies are what people overseas think its like in the US. When I was in Dubai in 1991 the question I was asked most often was if I was from LA or NYC. I told them I was from a place roughly 1500 miles from both of them called Nebraska. They had never heard of it, but I knew quite a lot about their country. Abu Dhabi was absolutely beautiful, Dubai was kinda small and just starting on the big building project in 1991. Sharja was a nice quaint little place with wonderful people.

  280. They don't want a good man, they always want another one... that they believe is better than the one they have. Never satisfied, always want to trade 'up' but have no idea what 'up' or 'better' in men happens to be. Always more... never content.

Won't happen to you, most likely, but its happening to me, and has for some time. No I am not wealthy nor do I appear to be in any way.

  282. I found the same situation in the 90s, working as a machinist. I was doing a huge amount of work, the plant was 120F to 130F all summer and I was wearing heavy plastic protective gear to keep the 250F compound sorta off me. Saved them $80k a month in scrap on 10 different part numbers, the engineer who said I was wrong got the bonus, I proved him wrong. I didn't even get a thank you. I quit in 1998, told my boss I would not be in on Monday, or ever again, on Friday. Already had another job. The plant closed and was shipped to Mexico 6 months later. They saved so much on payroll that they could afford the 90% scrap rate of the unskilled people down there. In 2000 I went back to the USAF, and guess what... I got all the extra duties, 10 Airmen to supervise when the other NCOs my rank had 1 or 2 if any, and they had me working 16 to 18 hours certain days of the week, and coming in on my Tuesday-Wednesday 'weekend' to handle things. If you're competent, capable, and more efficient than everyone else, they will heap work on you. Then everyone you work with will start backstabbing you, talking about how you're not doing anything. They sat in the office all day, and I was handling my usual job moving cargo and loading planes, along with all the extra stuff like Safety NCO, vehicle NCO, building custodian, and a bunch of other things. I probably taught 30 people how to drive, because they came from big cities and never needed to learn. Yet somehow I was the one who wasn't working. The best thing that ever happened to be was getting messed up in Kuwait in 2004. 35 years old, working like I was 21, my knees were the first to go,, then hips, shoulders, ankles. I live in pain, but I haven't worked since 2005, well.. haven't worked for anyone else since then. I was loading aircraft single handed when usually its a team of 12 to 20 guys. Just me, a muscle bound freak of nature from both massive airlifts I was in 1990-91 and 2003-05, pushing pallets on planes. Pallets can weigh 10,000lbs each, and I was pushing lots of them on single handed while the female reservist air crews stood around and watched. Yeah they made a huge deal out of a C5 with an all female crew, they stood there slackjawed as I loaded all 36 pallets on their plane by myself. I was stuck with a bunch of reservists who didn't want to work in the heat, so they drove vehicles or sat in the office. I can go on for hours about reservists... they are the most worthless people I have ever met.

  283.  @jaybee6505  waht is the PT test for females vs what is the PT test for males, in any branch. I was USAF, our PT was probably the easiest, it was like a brief warm up to me. Females always got a pass, when they screwed up, they got moved to a place where they wouldn't cause damage. Men got kicked out when they screwed up. Doing the 11b thing, yeah females simply cannot do it. You would end up carrying everything for her, and keeping her from screwing up, to your detriment.

  284.  @josephcharles3460  while I was in the USAF, the most problems I had with NCOs above me being capricious, juvenile, and fabricating things to justify writing me up, were all from pentecostals and southern baptists. To put a finer point on it, they were all named some variation of William. It seems they justified their mistreatment with the fact I was not in their cult, so they felt they could do anything they wanted to harm me. One of them found out its not justified, he got a bad conduct discharge for what he did.. he was a southern baptist. Funny thing is, I have two very good friends who are pentecostal. Great guys, had christmas dinner with one of them a while back, man can his wife cook.

If I had never gotten married and instead had a big pile of cash, I could be doing what Leonardo does, catch and release sport fishing.

  287. Solitude is enjoyable for me, after 45 years of being mistreated, the last ten years living alone and eschewing entanglements has been peaceful and nearly stress free. My 50s have been my best decade, because I haven't had an albatross tied around my neck. People have been the source of my problems my entire life, tearing me down, taking from me, holding me back, mistreating me, trying to use me. I'd rather spend time with my dig, build cars, and create things.

  288.  @picachugirl2036  I am inclined to agree, but over 18 is an adult for a reason. An 18 year old man can be drafted, and an 18 year old woman can be a wife. Below that... well, under 15 is definitely something the 'd's are into and I am not. A 22 year old with too much neoteny in her facial structure is enough to make me nope. However some countries see things differently, like every islamic country on earth. Not condoning it, that is simply reality.

  291. If you go parochial for your kids, make sure the school teaches math and science accurately. The school I was sent to 1 to 6th grade did almost no science at all. They tried desperately to keep us from actual science, and they weren't even full on creationists. Their idea of teaching math was to get 5 or so of us in the copier room and show us flashcards. I was 21 before I had taught myself 'small' math like addition and multiplication, and a senior in high school when I figured out how to tell time on a clock with hands. I had been doing calc and geometry for almost 2 years as a machinist using a calculator before I enlisted. Turns out math is intuitive to me, if only I had been taught how to do it when I was 8-10. We read the bible for an hour every day though, I know that book exceptionally well. Cover to cover 4 times 4th through 6th grade. When I went to public school in 7th grade they wanted to put me in 'special' classes, except I was reading at a post grad level. Thankfully I learned to read before I went to the 'children of the corn' school. Don't screw over your kids futures with schools that are far more concerned about you knowing proverbs than how to figure a square root.

  292.  @AlwaysVotingMAGA  the divorces were only part of the story, and it was worse than I said in this thread. I don't tell people about my life to get sympathy, I share what happened to me so people have an idea of what can happen. My life is an example of a few things. 1. What choices to NOT make. 2. What to do when you make those choices. e.g. perseverance/keep getting back up/don't make that mistake again. 3. How not to treat your kids while raising them. 4. No matter how good or bad it is, it can always get worse or better. In my case it was usually worse, but sometimes through a mind boggling amount of work and effort, I made it better. Had to do it alone though, others only dragged me down and held me back, I had to struggle against others irrational limits for most of my life. You need to find that thing in your life that drives you. For me it was airplanes and cars. I can't afford planes so I enlisted in the USAF, got my fill of planes there. The car thing is why I get up in the morning and why I do anything at all. Its not a status thing, its not a 'hey look how much better I am than you are' either. Its about what I DO with the cars, the way I build them, the vision I have in my head that becomes reality through hard work, effort, and a huge investment of my time. ANYTHING YOU DO that has value will require a huge amount of your time and effort, so find something that drives you but is also worthwhile and results in value.

  293. I'm 55, my advise for young men is simple. Lift heavy things over and over, build muscle to the point you can bench press over 300lbs. Maintain it through your life, it pays off when you're old and decrepit. Learn how to do as much as you possibly can, the more you can do, the more useful and valuable you are. Learn to repair cars, electrical appliances, and how to do plumbing/electrical, as well as how to weld. Do those on top of whatever other job you have, especially office jobs where you push paper around. The big one. Push yourself to achieve things most do not. A degree in basic things like psychology is not one of those. DO NOT TRUST SPLIT TAILS, they are not here to help you anymore, they are here to take from you and that is all they will end up doing. Taking everything you have built and achieved, and then they squander it and blame you for all their poor choices. Never get attached, just let them come in and go away when they want to, and never let them have power over you in any way.. ESPECIALLY financially.

  295.  @Djhylowmusic  your mom did well, doesn't happen often. I have a female friend who is really good to me, she is annoying with some things she does, but she is dependable. I can call her if I need a ride to the ER, nobody else I know around here will answer or show. I keep her in a running vehicle because of that. However she is over 300lbs, does not have a pleasant aroma, and after all these years I prefer to live alone. So no, she will not get to live with me. We help each other out, like friends should. The last one I was seeing was a single mom, she just turned 50 last year, was seeing her from 2015 to 18. Wonderful person, but she decided to end it with me to try out a firefighter, who dumped her two weeks later. We are still friends, talk often, and we have talked about this sort of thing often. I was the longest she has seen anyone since her divorce. I am not putting myself out there, because of the lack of decent women in this area. If they are remotely attractive they decide they can do better and flake when I set something up. One flake and I never contact them again. For me its not worth the stress and effort. They can leave whenever they want and take most of what I have built with them, even if we aren't married. Oh and both of my ex wives say I mistreated them, which I did not. The first was the one who liked to fight, hit, and throw things. I have no interest in that, and I will not tolerate it in my life. The first sign of a woman being irrational or wanting to hit me, she is removed from my sphere of influence. Buh bye, GTFO. They like to hide that stuff and hope I will be submissive to them and hand over my wallet.. it doesn't work. I figured out that I need to go grocery shopping during the day in the middle of the week, because its all old people in there. Cuts down on chicks trying to get my attention.

  296.  @prussiansocietyofamerica  from about 12 or 13 until I was 38 I had a high drive, needed to get some at least three times a week. Now at 54 I don't care anymore, I can go a year and not even realize it. My T is where it has been since I was in my 20s, but what the cost has been for getting some makes me far less interested in them. Spent 9 years with my second ex, 8 before we got married. We never fought, argued, and we got along great. Then I got sick helping her dad by painting some stuff, and she decided she needed someone else. That guy left after 3 years, now she is alone, unwanted, going to be 41 this summer. Meanwhile I am living in the house I built, on the land she wanted to buy before she met me, have enough money to do as I please, and I drive cool old cars. I get attention from women half her age all the time, but its too much effort to deal with them, because its a short term thing. Its like going to the bar and spending your paycheck on beer. You're just pissing it away. Its funny how they say they are so oppressed and perpetual victims, but they can be given money for showing bobs and vagene. I had to work my ass off for what I have.

  303. Guys, I am Gen X, 54 years old, born in the 60s. The people around me were the same way as your peers, when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s. Most of them followed the herd, did the fads, and didn't think for themselves. Most of them never traveled more than 200 miles from where they were born. They married the woman they dated in high school, and some of the females never got married because they were too big. Its not so much a new thing, its a being young thing. Having a soft life does it too. The only time its too late to start leading in your own life, is when its over and you reach permanent equilibrium with ambient temp. Working out and working towards goals gets you somewhere in life. Unless you're a hot chick, nobody is going to give you anything without you earning it. When I went to my ten year reunion, the hotties from my class dumped their husbands and crowded around me. I went to the military in 1989, did the desert storm thing, traveled to Europe, the mid east, and Africa, and I gained a ton of muscle mass. I was the strongest kid in school when I graduated (could lift more than the teachers could too), so I was even bigger when I came back. They wanted to hear about my travels and what I did. At the 20 the guys were all bald, pudgy, and looked like they were desperately trying to hold on to their youth. I was married to someone 13 years younger than I am, retired, and building muscle cars for fun. I skipped the 30, now the 40 is in another three years. I will go to that one, and probably be driving one of my gassers that I am building right now, the belly will be gone by then and I will look great for a 57 year old crippled two war veteran. I was an outcast my entire life, the pudgy kid everyone picked on and I was 4'9 until I was 14. I sat on the bench in practice and never got in the game when doing team sports, so I got into wrestling. It changed my life and I realized how beneficial it was at my first tournament. I got my tail handed to me, but I could see the potential, so I continued with it. I learned that nobody is going to give me anything, I had to earn it if I wanted it. Growing up poor meant I had to know how to do things rather than guy things if I wanted stuff like a car. By my senior year I was a monster, 5'8" full of muscle, ripped, and could run for miles, benched 265lbs and weighed 175lbs. 22 wins, 13 of them were pins, and I obliterated most kids who got on the mat with me. Suddenly female attention was being thrown at me, and yes I took advantage of it. The second one I had was 22 when I was 17, she was lots of fun in the back seat of my '72 GTO that I bought wrecked and got driveable. I had no friends, no peer group, only wrestlers from other schools respected and admired me, they were the only friends I had and I only saw them at tournaments. I did my own thing, went my way, and did not follow the herd... because I was not allowed to be in the herd. Rather than trying to fit in, I started to lead. My youngest brother is 13 years younger than me, born in the early 80s, he is 41 now. He wasted his 20s getting high and playing World of Warcraft. Now he has a good paying machinist job, he realized he can make things just like I can. I was a machinist for years when I wasn't in the military. He is a lot like your generation, grew up without the pressures I had, he was softer from a soft life. We gave him his first car, a 1968 Mustang. Dad and I repainted it for him. I had to buy all my cars, including the first one when I was 13. I raised, picked, then sold sweet corn in town to buy my first car. Without wheels, you weren't getting off the farm and into town where the females were. It was easier for him so it took him longer than me and the brother between us to start his life. All three of us wrestled, my two sisters were cheerleaders for wrestling. I started a dynasty, and most of our kids also wrestled in school. The only sibling of mine to not wrestle was our oldest brother who is one of those follower types, he didn't ever do anything impressive or challenging. Dad bought him his first car, and he wrecked it twice. A 1970 Charger. Dad had it rebuilt for him. Around 40 he finally pulled his head out of his rectum and started earning his life. Dang it, now its noon and I have car stuff to do out in the shop... putting EFI on the 70 Cuda.

  307. I had the Eastern European ones approaching me, asking if I had a gf or wife when I was in Europe and Korea. Not forward exactly, they were classy about it. Sure, 20 years ago they wanted the green card and to live in the land of the big BX. (base exchange) Not so much now, most people don't want to come here anymore, they can see where we are being taken.. especially the ones from former bloc countries. When I was younger it was better to be overseas. Now that I am 55, I am tired of them, don't want to deal with them and their drama, plus living is far less expensive alone, so I can do whatever I like whenever I want. I could leave the US and live VERY well on my military retirement/disability. I do ok where I live now, well away from cities out in the woods. If it gets bad here, I have skills and knowledge I can turn into an empire overseas so I could do fine without the VA check. However, I like living where I am, and would only move back to Nebraska because of the car stuff I can do there and the friends I have in the area. I am debt free and own my land, don't have to pay property taxes because I am a crippled vet. So it works for me to stay here and build my old cars.

  308. There is SO VASTLY much more to being a man than just 'providing' and all that viewpoint does is reduce us to nothing more than a freakin wallet. Females have NEVER been the focus of my life, and I have had hundreds of them. I have more to me than what I can do for women. To be honest, there is only one thing I want from them, and its not that important. Men are told they are the problem, that they cause all the bad things just because they can stand to relieve their bladder. We can be a 'problem' if this trend continues, make no mistake, a backlash from us is epic. Its far more advantageous to keep men happy and content than to make them angry and feel like they have nothing to live or work for.

  310. First marriage was 8 years of hell, she did everything wrong that she possibly could. Then it cost me another 15 years of paying her most of my income. The second one I vetted for 8 years, and she was very good for me, but we were only married for 16 months. She was a lot cheaper, but had me thrown in jail on baseless assertions. They believe all women in court, just so ya know. The first cost me almost $300k in income, which she wasted and has nothing now. Its tough to be ambitious when the court is keeping you in poverty. I barely earned that much in those 15 years, they were taking 70% of my gross, you know before taxes. The time that cost me was worse than the money. More than 20 years chained to paying for someone who mistreated me and my kids. I was 24 going in, 44 coming out. It cost me several business opportunities, and soaked up so much of my income that I was unable to save anything. If I saved anything, Nebraska would seize it anyway, as a punitive measure. I live alone in the woods for a reason. Been single and not dating since 2013, living frugally so I can build my old cars. Paid off my mortgage 2 years early in 2021, and the building loan in 21 as well. Debt free since then... but now I am 55 and can't build my life like I could have.

Better things to do. I never did the P&D, didn't try to get a high count, I was looking for one to make memories and spend my life with me. Still ended up with somewhere between 150 and 200 count, they all kinda blend together after a while. First ex was number 89 or so, that was 30 years ago.

  322. We military types will often have a way about us that makes us appear to NOT be an easy mark. The haircut and the way we walk say a lot about us, gives us away too. I was able to blend in exceptionally well in Germany, my ancestry is there and I look exactly like Germans do, well the barrel chested farmer/machinist types. I stood out a bit in Korea.. no idea why. When I was engaged to a woman who lived in Dubai in 90-92, they said I looked Syrian, because they have lighter hair and often blue eyes, otherwise I stand out everywhere other than central/northern Europe.. for more than my width, which makes me obvious anywhere I go. I've never been mugged, only had my car broken into in Charleston SC, its obvious when you have training and muscle that you are not worth the risk. The soft or loud and boisterous types in the military are the ones who get rolled. The car thing in Charleston was kids, they broke the window to take a water damaged stereo when the door was unlocked. He left a screwdriver that was worth more than the stereo, and never touched the $25k worth of tools in my road box in the back of my pickup. The funny thing is my 1970 GTO sat unlocked the entire time I was stationed there, the stock radio was in the dash, a Kenwood under the seat, and it looked ratty. Rattle can paint, cheap wheels, no carpet, cracked dash, and special instructions just to start it. Looking unassuming is a quality defense, it goes along with "look unimportant, they may be low on ammo"

The best part for you is that you don't have to work on a car to get content. ;) Thanks for all the reminders of nature and the views from the world Bo, last time I was out of the US was 2004, my final deployment.

  325. Funny goatee guy is simply blaming men for everything, pushing the same narrative and claiming that RP is destroying marriage... ITS A REACTION TO DIVORCE. When you make it so reprehensible to men to get married and divorced because they end up living in cars and working for the benefit of someone else at their expense for DECADES, they are gonna nope the hell out of marriage and relationships.

  326. Since I was in my 30s, I haven't wanted to go through the effort of getting to know them, finding all their landmines, then after putting in all that time and effort to have them decide they want to try someone else. I gave them one last chance with my second ex, 8 years together before getting married, and it ended the same way they all did. The last time I could ever trust one of them was more than 20 years ago. At least the second one didn't harsh my peace, and the spicy time never ended until I turned off the debit card, car insurance, and everything else because of infidelity on her part. In my 40s I was getting lots of them in their 20s, a handful in their 30s, but it was always all the same thing, over and over. Untrustworthy, flighty, definitely not a long term thing. Now at 55 I enjoy living alone, travelling to dragstrips all summer to run my car, and doing fun stuff I enjoy. Building old cars is vastly cheaper, more enjoyable, and infinitely more satisfying than dating/relationships. Our opposite simply isn't worth any effort at all anymore, even for the only thing I want from them.

She was pleasant and fun for 8 years, a 21 yro virgin in 2003 when I met her, then we married and 16 months later she divorced me to be with her 'soulmate' who has no future, is soundly disliked by everyone who knows him, and left her before they had reached 4 years. The most logical one I have ever known, but that base programming makes them all the same. Not much variance in anything other than the wrappers.

  334. @@ConontheBinarian three times in the USAF, all of them in 1990, I got in trouble for saying hello and hi to females who apparently felt I wasn't good enough to speak to them. A beta, who was my boss on shift, had a habit of screwing me over. He overheard me talking with one of the cool females I worked with at the start of Desert Shield. She and I ripped on each other while working, she was hilarious and burned me often, she was married and I was engaged so we were friends. He overheard a retort from me and decided to make a federal case about it. Then three other females said I spoke to them. Its military custom and courtesy to extend a verbal greeting, in uniform or not. My solution was to stop speaking to them unless it had to do with the mission or work. I was never alone in a room with military females, and did not consider dating any of them. Not even when a seriously good looking one was trying her best to get me to give her the smash in Kuwait back in 2001. She did everything except come out and state she wanted me or start removing items. Then of course the two ex wives making things up, which is par.. the second one had me thrown in jail for two weeks based only on her assertion with her new boyfriend. The first financially destroyed me, and still blames me for all her problems and we have been divorced 22 years. I keep females at arms length now, but if I find one that seems like she won't do that to me, I will spend time with her. The last one was 2015 to 2019, she and I are still good friends. She wanted me around to teach her sons how to be more masculine, and the younger one made good on it. That kid is a monster now, senior in high school, two time state champ wrestling, and he won a tournament in another state over the weekend. She earned her place in my life, she honestly did, and I enjoyed teaching her kid how to be a better man. The only woman to ever treat me well the entire time we were together. She didn't know my real name for over a year, she understood why I was reserved about it. If she wasn't pudgy and 7 hours away, it might have turned out lasting longer. So I know good ones are out there, but they are so freakishly rare that I don't bother looking for them.

  335. Been single since 2013. Like I've said before, I own my 13 acres of land (that I bought in '13), home, and shop with a bunch of muscle cars I rebuild (most are rusty and not running, so don't assume I am wealthy) with no debt. Built my house the way I wanted it, and split tails are less then comfortable here. Its small, just 1050sqft and two story, the upper story is a loft so it seems rather big inside. The shop is just under 1600sqft with a lift and almost all the tools I need to build cars from scratch, just need some metal working tools, like an English wheel and bead roller. I live in a forest so all my stuff is hidden unless you come down my difficult to find driveway. Was married twice, with each of them for 8 years, didn't marry the second one until 8 years together and she bailed 16 months later. The first tried to be like the wife of the guy in the video, yeah that didn't go how she wanted it to. Tried to use spicytime as a means of making me do things, and I simply ignored her demands and didn't touch her at all. Agree and amplify... I never bent to her will and I learned early on that if I did anything nice for her she would start and escalate conflict. Her losing to me would allow her to feel like a victim instead of guilty because I did something nice for her. I bought cars I wanted, did things I wanted to do, made sure the family was taken care of first before I did anything else. I worked OT and on the side to pay for my old car thing. Built engines, transmissions, swapped gears, built carbs, installed superchargers, all kinds of things to make money for my car. My factory job paid the bills. Despite having to give her 71% of my gross pay and hardly ever seeing my kids, a huge weight lifted from me when she finally left. She made my life a living hell. The first has been gone since 2001 and STILL COMPLAINS to my kids about me buying my 1970 GTO. She wanted a wallet, a mule she could send to work so she could go shopping, and she wanted to handle all the money. That didn't fly. At one point she wanted to get a job that would require us to get childcare that would cost more than her job brought in, she wanted that job because some guy she liked worked there. She has a small house, about 500sqft, 200ft from the railroad tracks with coal trains going by every half hour. Nearly lost it but her mom passed and left her just enough to get caught up, she will lose it when her spineless 65 yr old husband kicks his oxygen dependency. He might have 3 years left, if they're lucky. The second one, I was her first for everything, she was 21 when I popped it and the spicy time never abated right up to the day before I booted her out because she spent the weekend with her 'soulmate' that left her less than 4 years later. Life is not going well for her these days, 42 and nobody wants her, can't keep a job so she relies on her 79 year old mom. Ok, gotta go work on my supercharged 505ci Pontiac, need to finish installing the roll cage in the 68 LeMans its in so it passes tech at the strip. Should be somewhere between 800 and 1100hp, depending on how much boost I can throw at it. Still have the 70 GTO, it might go in the shop over this winter to get rebuilt into a fun daily driver. Might do the 69 GTO instead, or the 32 two door sedan Pontiac I have will get built, both of those are ROUGH, not much left of them to be honest... hard to say what goes in the shop right now.

For years the biggest export of Ukraine other than grain was hotties, now there are a million less men, which means more hotties available for export. As for support roles, like logistics, they can't do those effectively enough either.

Bothered me too much, also I was getting to the point where I couldn't walk very far, degenerative joint disease they call it. Crushed cartilage I call it. My spine is good, everything attached to it is trashed. Still bothers me how many we had to unload and load in a day. Funny how it was always only men doing it, honoring the fallen. Week males have to act like 'non males' because they are incapable of inflicting grievous harm or defending themselves physically. So they go for the capricious and cheap stuff, intending to harm your character. Look at all the tyrants in history, not one of them was a highly capable man, they were all slight and week so they used subterfuge and enlisted others to do the dirty work for them.

Tall thin guys like the Tates look good in suits. Men with thick muscle look better in T shirts and similar clothing. Getting a tailored dress uniform while stationed in Korea was the only way I could afford to get it done, and I never looked good in a uniform after my first war. Its doubtful that anyone watching this channel will have the same problem I do with how they look in a suit and having this much muscle mass.. But they should still go lift, heavier than they think they have to. Push yourself, and get serious about it.

  345.  @NikosM112  you're correct. I have been a man women are interested in, some of them chased me. I have friends that couldn't pay for it and get some tail. I am not average and not below average for anything but height (I'm 5'8). I've had hundreds of them, and I have found none of them are worth the effort. They are all wired the same, do the same things, make the same bad choices. The only difference is how much impulse control they have. Most of them followed that poor impulse control and were under me less than a half hour after meeting me. If you can't do that, you're one of the invisible men. If you want to get some tail, then you have to hit the gym, lift heavy, and it would be highly beneficial to get proficient in combat sports. Wrestling if you are still in school, BJJ if you're an adult. That training will change your life.

  349. I am twice divorced, so you are doing fine avoiding them. I'm 5'8 as well, lots of them turn me down when I say hi in passing, I'm being polite and they think I want them... Its funny, they are lucky I acknowledged they exist. I'm 54, grew up on a Nebraska farm with 150 to 300 head of cattle at any given time, about 800 acres for growing and several pastures around the area. Its probably not in your genetics to pack on muscle, by the time I was 17 I was 170lbs and benching 265. By 19 I was 180 and benching over 330 when I enlisted way back in 1988. Wrestling helped too. Desert Shield packed over 50lbs of muscle mass on me and 450 was an easy press. I am still huge today, and its still easy to gain muscle. My weight keeps going up but you can see my ribs and I don't have extra chins. Have a belly, but its not huge, its almost 20 inches smaller than my chest. I look like a gorilla and most women aren't into that look, but some are. It could be what you eat and what you do. Nobody else I worked with in the military gained muscle mass like I did. Nobody did on the farm either. It takes an incredible amount of protein to pack on muscle like I did. I never used powders, juice, or any supplements at all. Lots of meat and eggs though. It also takes a mind numbing amount of work to pack on muscle like I did. To get an idea, pick up two 5 gallon igloo coolers in each hand, and run up three stories with them, and do that for 12 hours. Alternating days push two F150s bumper to bumper across Walmart parking lots. I go by this name because the USAF said I was too obese when I came back from Kuwait in 2001 with a six pack, absolutely shredded, weighing the lightest I have been since 1991, and they put me on the weight program. I am more 'power lifter' than body builder. So a short wide guy with huge arms and no neck, some women dig it, most don't.

  350. Same. I have done my laundry since I was a kid, am a better cook than both my ex wives, they put in almost nothing yet expected me to do everything for them. The second one would go take a shower, and leave a trail of clothes on the floor that would sit there for days. The first wasn't even that clean after we married. Now that neither of them are camped out in my wallet, I can do just about anything I want. The house stuff they complain about can be done in less than 2 hours a week, other than cooking which needs done every day. My grandmothers would have nothing nice to say about modern women I can tell ya that. Particularly the one on my dad's side.

My kids aren't having kids because they were raised by someone other than me, because the court said I was unfit due to being able to drain my bladder outside. Its going to get bad, but its not the end of us. Young guys, learn how to do as much as you possibly can, build cars and trucks, houses, repair things, cook, grow food, produce energy both electrical and fuel based... your life will be far better the more you know, because you will be less dependent on others and the system. They'll be dependent on YOU.

  357. Most old guys haven't been through family court, they haven't lived in their car while still working full time because their paycheck goes to someone who was unfaithful and betrayed them. I'm 55 and what I hear most is I picked the wrong ones, it was all my fault, and I should do better. It is always the man's fault, and thus he is responsible for everything even the stuff he had no part in doing. Young men aren't getting the choice, because the quality they can get is severely lacking... they're all chasing the top 5% of men, and getting high counts as a result, because those guys aren't gonna put a ring on it. All the incentives have been removed from them, there is no benefit to pushing themselves to achieve more and only liability for them to bring someone into their lives. It doesn't matter how attractive, dominant, or alpha you are. Doesn't matter how much higher value you are over her either. They cannot be trusted, because "something" else, no matter what it is always more attractive than what they have. They're never satisfied, never content, and they always think they can do better, so they make very poor choices in life. Why should men sacrifice themselves to that?

  358. My second ex wife was a 21 year old virgin from a two parent family that was rather well off. She was quite smart and could keep up with me in discussions we had. Her values and mine aligned a great deal, we were looking for the same things. She was very homely, but she stayed thin and I liked who she was so I overlooked her crooked teeth, flat hair, and how she wore flannel pants and hoodies most of the time. She was very good and adventurous between sheets, and she tried her best to make my life better. We never had fights, we argued about esoteric subjects for fun, and the spicy fun time was several times a week.. right up to the day she decided to step out. She tried not to spend my money frivolously, but it was still expensive to have her around, food, gas in her vehicle, insurance, etc. She was costing me about $2k per month just to have her around, thats how much I had left every month once I kicked her out. Other than her looks, she was wonderful for 9 years. We got married just before we were together 9 years, and just 16 months later we were divorced. As long as she knew I could leave her for stepping out or breaking the three rules I had, she acted right. Once she had commitment, she decided to eat a bowl of st*p*d flakes and ran off with a desperate sot who showed interest in her. The previous love interest of his was a 36 year old alone mom who at 5'4" weighed around 250lbs. Her brother and father had to run him off because he kept pursuing her despite her telling him to GTFO. He was 24, my ex was 30 and I was 44 when we divorced ten years ago. They lasted 3 or 4 years, then he moved to Montana and now she is alone, unwanted, and her mom pays all her bills since her dad passed back in February. My ex chose poorly.. there was nothing I could have done, or could not have done, to prevent what she did... other than getting married, which was more so she could get health care than anything else. Contrasted with my first ex, who was bipolar, the second one was very good to me, was vetted and proved herself for 8 years. The two could not have been more different, but they did the exact same thing in the end. The first was the doorknob to the town, I had no idea because I had just moved there. Her bipolar seeped out and after two years together it was a living nightmare. I don't date anymore, not looking for a woman at all. I dated a few hundred women in my life, before and between my marriages, both of which went 8-9 years. I find they are all running the same program, but they think they are all unique and different. The wrapper changes, the mind inside of it is still running that same narrow and easily predictable program.

I talked to her about her attitude the second day she was here, and she stopped doing it. However the damage was done, and even if she wanted spicy fun time, should would not have gotten it. She had connecting flights that couldn't be changed, so being polite I didn't send her packing right away. Sometimes its better to be polite than to act like a spoiled child. She is learning that now.

Also need to get back to working on my fun toy, the car I am building for an event next week in Missouri. I have to build a seat mount yet tonight, then figure out where to put the roll cage, and hope I get it done in the next 8 days. If she had not come to visit, the cage would be in it and I would have quite a few miles on it already. Its annoying that she decided to be a raging cant understand normal thinker.

  368. If you check, you will see I own a bunch of muscle cars and trucks. The farm was 20 miles away from town to the west, 25 to the east, the town to the west had more going on, so I went there. Got into races with my car, met lots of interesting people, and thats where the females were. I needed a car to get anywhere, especially in winter. Nebraska is actually quite hilly, not flat like it looks from I-80. The weather there can end you fast if you're unprepared for it. The cars I have are not trophies nor status symbols, sure they are cool and fast, but I built them. Its a different mindset. I see an old car as like a canvas where I can do my art. I plan them out, build then drive them. The fun and enjoyment is in the build and the drive, and I beat the snot out of them. My cars are the physical representation of the vision I had in my head when I bought the rusty hulk without a drivetrain. They are my knowledge, skills, abilities, perseverance, and time put into reality in a way that you can feel and hear it, unlike any other art form. I do everything on them, I am capable of doing all the work, provided I have the tools to do it. My shop only lacks a few things, like a Tig welder, plasma cutter, and the machine tools needed to rebuild engines. Its not the cars for me, though I build the ones I like and have lusted after for most of my life. Its more than the cars, they become part of me, because I put part of me into them. Sure you can go buy one, but then you get what someone else wanted, what they deemed adequate, its probably not the way you would build it, its just acceptable to you. While I have some that are worth a lot of money, one is valued at more than $90k, and its currently rusty, the value is nearly meaningless to me. That car is exceptionally rare, as only 276 were built with that engine, six of which had AC and auto transmission, and this one has no paint code, its a 1 of 1 of one of the most desirable Pontiacs ever built.... That value is not why I have it. My intention is to rebuild that one, and make it near perfect to preserve it.. I will build a clone to drive. The rest of them, I have no plans to sell, other than the Mustangs because I bought them to rebuild and sell. I derive satisfaction from what I do, accomplish, achieve, and overcome. I do not pursue happiness, nor is it excellence, I am driven by the things I want to do and experience. Rather than throwing money at it and paying others to do it for me, I learn how to do things. I have never had much of a focus on or need for lots of money. In fact if I were to sell my land tools, shop, and all the vehicles/parts so I have a really big pile of money, I would simply spend it buying other rusty old junk and rebuilding that in a shop I built. This is what I do. This is what I have always wanted to do, and every job I worked either gave me skills I needed to do this, or paid me so I could afford the parts and equipment. I don't give a damn if I don't put a dent in the universe, I want to build things, and since I can't afford airplanes, muscle cars are the medium I choose.

  369. When extending a verbal greeting in passing, is considered unwanted attention and contact, men will see it happen, the reaction of the delusional and arrogant females who think they are 10s when they are really 2s or 4s, and they will cease speaking to and interacting with women. Its a logical solution to an irrational problem. Make every interaction with a less than very attractive man into SA, and men will cease interactions with women. She is right that the ones who like to force things will continue to do so, but the problem is they are a tiny minority that women conflate with all of us. Let them rot on the docks like when produce comes in that doesn't seem all that great, just let it sit there until it spoils. They can then hate all of us when they hit 40 and nobody wants them for anything more than practice.

  370. I get these all the time. Friend requests on FB where I look for car parts and message my family and friends. The only people who actually send me requests are other Pontiac guys and youtubers who also have car channels. Lately I've been getting texts, which I delete. Apparently they assume that because I am 55 that I am lonely and can't get any trim. Its almost as hilarious as calling me about my car's warranty.. when the newest thing I own is a 2007 GMC crewcab I picked up for $400. My daily drivers are a 65 GTO and a 70 Cuda. I've never had a car with a warranty and never will. The last human I got calling about a warranty was surprised when I asked which car he was calling about, because at the time I owned around 50. Now its around 70, so they gotta be more specific. Scams are hilarious when you're not dense.

  374. Men DO things. Men make friends based on common things we DO. We DO NOT make friends based on feelings or any other thing females make friends over. It just doesn't work on nor for us. My friends all share the same interests. Muscle cars, airplanes, drag racing, first person shooter video games, and marksmanship. Not much crossover among them, its distinct groups. If you are a young man who has no friends, then you do not have any interests in common with other men. What the hell do ya do all day when you're not working? Sure you won't get many friends watching prawn and strangling the worm until it pukes, but there has to be something else you do. Sitting around watching this content will not make you many real world friends. This sort of content is for advice, and to know that we are all dealing with it, so you are not the only one getting screwed.. we all are. Now I am VERY picky about my friends, everyone gets a chance, and their actions dictate just how much I will allow them to be around. If I don't like someone, or the say they will do something and then don't, I will still be polite and friendly with them.. but I will never depend on or trust them. The people I trust have earned and maintained it for years to decades, and I maintain their trust in me as much as I can. I have gearhead friends in real life and online. We are very easy going for the most part, and if you hang out with car guys, especially us older gray haired muscle car guys, you will learn banter and how to make friends. The big thing is to get people talking about themselves, their car, or their interests. That gets them to like you more, and if you honestly care about what they tell you and you do not betray their trust, you will make friends easily. If you don't DO something, you aren't going to meet like minded men. You simply won't. You have to be the guy who says hi, hows it going? Or you ask about their car, talk to them about what they are working on. Its a skill you develop, you are rarely born with it. What are your interests? Find people with similar interests, but make them legal interests and not some dishonorable thing. Men make friends based on merit, so competence, capability, knowledge, and to some extent accomplishments are very important. We won't stay friends with someone who talks big, can't back it up, and is actually ineffectual to dangerous to be around. Merit is everything with us. The L's won't grasp that, because they are all about feelings, and the biggest one they harbor is re sent ment. Typos are intentional

  375. They delude themselves into thinking they are like us, that they can live alone and be comfortable and satisfied with that life. That them having a job, house, and degree is going to attract us. If I found one who was into drag racing like I am, that would be cool. If I found one that also enjoyed living in the woods and not spending money on frivolous stuff, then great. Thing is, if its not one with an attractive body and pleasant demeanor, I don't need nor want one around. My peace is worth too much, and thats why I don't look or approach, even when they show interest. Also, why bother wasting time with one when I could be doing something productive or just goofing off, when there is a VERY high probability that they will think they can do better. Its not about being 'hurt' and there is not one of them born that is intimidating, its about wasting time, money, resources, and whatever else. I am not investing in them, because its like throwing money and time into a hole and burning it.

  376.  @oakinwol  and here you are advocating that young men risk their livelihood, financial future, and the pain that comes with kids being kept from them out of spite. You are right that society will collapse without strong families. The problem is you keep blaming men for the demise of families and completely ignore the fact its overwhelmingly women who destroy families and toss the father out. She doesn't even need a reason to do it, she can just feel like it, and she will be rewarded. HE ALWAYS HAS TO PAY. She is rewarded for bad behavior he is punished regardless, and you want young men to just hop up there and place their necks on the block. How about ya fix the laws first? Work on that rather than shaming and blaming men for the shortcomings of women.
    2
  377. Ya know I agree entirely that a strong family is the foundation of civilization. The problem is, the risk is too great for men in the west. Men need to check out and show how valuable and required we are. Back in the 90s I worked as a machinist in a factory. When they would complain about me taking overtime, I would take Friday and Monday as vacation days. By the time I came back in on Tuesday, the backlog of parts was immense. No mention of me getting OT when we were suddenly several weeks behind on parts, because the nightshift guy did almost nothing. When you make things look effortless and you're efficient, people will take you for granted, and assume you're not doing anything. Sometimes you need to take vacation without warning and remind them why you're there. Men need to take an extended vacation, make it hurt, make them cry and plead with us to come back and do the work we were doing before. Make them desperate so they will appreciate us. It has to hurt or they will soon forget what its like without us around. So yes, I agree entirely but we need to force a change so men are no longer punished for being dads, and are cherished as dads. Dude I make car videos, I do car things, I mostly watch automotive content. Why am I here? Simple. I am old, been through a lot, and I want young men to avoid the mistakes I made, and to know life gets better if they have already fallen into the same traps I stumbled into. Life gets better if you work on making it better. Bo, you have been doing pretty good on the improvement message. I adore 'not men' and have many of them as friends, have two daughters around 30 who will never have kids, never get married or have a family, because their other parent destroyed their lives. Way back when the men walking off thing came out, I noticed most of them were the guys who can't get some anyway. Rather than building themselves, they claim to be walking away. THEY WERE NEVER ON THE FIELD OR IN THE GAME. Every time I got one, and tried to have a family, THEY burned it to the ground on a whim, and they have all paid the price of making the poor choice of trading me for a lesser man. Both my ex's wish they had never left, now that they see what I have done despite them taking so much from me and forcing me into poverty for 15 years...

  379.  @BoffinGrusky  I am not disagreeing with you, I am offering a warning to men out there who think they are different, that it won't happen to them. You can try to mitigate it all you want. Prenups are thrown out all the time, and trust me the judge and courts will side with her far more often than with you. Nothing she does negatively impacts her, everything she does and everything you do negatively impacts you. I was held accountable for things my first ex did two years after the divorce was final. She had no money so they came after me, and they did not care that 71% of my gross was going to her, they demanded I pay for her poor choices when she was not married to me. If you want a wife, kids, family, and don't want to risk having your kids taken from you and kept from you by a vindictive ex who stepped out but blames you for all her bad actions.. then go to Asia.

  380.  @BoffinGrusky  I'm not on that one, I hang out with the guys who are doing their thing. I am too old to risk another one, not enough years left to rebuild again when a judge gives her everything I built. Since I own my land, home, and everything else without debt after great sacrifice, I am disinclined to risk it on a woman. Most of my stories are horrific or tragic, a few are amusing. Its like Forest Gump except he doesn't end up a millionaire, get the medal of honor, or receive accolades of any kind. The more intelligent shrinks I met through the VA have mentioned they are amazed I am still here considering everything I have been through, and the mistreatment inflicted by so many others. When I tell people about my life, they usually get depressed, or they feel a lot better about their own lives. Some have had it worse, much worse, but they don't talk about it. I share my stories to help others avoid the mistakes I made and the traps I fell into.

  382. I was stationed in Germany Feb 89 to October 91, winter is bleak and hardly anyone is out. Summer was far more active. Most of 91 I didn't get out much because of Desert Shield/Storm, but I had lots of fun the summers of 89 and 90. Winter straight up sucks in Germany and the rest of Europe. Its wet and dreary most of the time, kinda like South Carolina winter but it lasts longer than the two weeks of cold in Charleston. I blended in so well that old ladies would ask me questions in German that I understood, but had no idea how to reply. My family is from Germany, we came to the US in 1867, and my grandparents were the last generation to speak German at home. I was very popular with Asians, blond hair, blue eyes, I was exotic to them. I was almost a celebrity the one time I went to Seoul when I was stationed in Korea 02-03. My picture is running around on a few dozen cameras from me walking through the Coex Mall. The Russians liked me a lot too when I was there. Travelling the world was a great thing for me, I got paid to travel, and since I was USAF and not Army, I was able to do whatever I wanted on my days off. I didn't need permission to leave the base, or leave the country, as long as I was back for my next shift. No babysitter needed in the USAF, so I got to see Europe cheap. We had some 3 day weekends and we would drive to Rome, look around for a day, and drive back to Frankfurt. Belgrade was not much fun while I was there in 1991.. because of who was still running the place. Get out and see the world, don't do it for tail, go learn more about other cultures and people. Don't be an arrogant prick, and you will enjoy travelling a lot more. The French really loathe arrogant Americans, FYI. They didn't mind me as much.

  384. Its the D run cities that are cesspits, go to places not run by them and its a different world. Comparing Dubai to D cities is hellish culture shock. That is particularly true with NYC, Chicago, and California. The facial recognition is not a bonus to me. Probably because I have a profound distrust of the gov. The last time I was in Dubai was 1991, yeah 32 years ago. Its changed a bit since then, and I don't recognize anything when I see video and pics. Where I live its affordable, the only thing that is expensive here is gasoline and car insurance. Thats why I make fuel for my cars and trucks. No I do not live in a city, because even in the clean cities like Dubai, I can't stand that many people that close to me. I prefer trees, grass, and wildlife over concrete, steel, and glass.

  385. I rebuilt my life at 44 when the ex decided to divorce me.. that was 2013. I bought land, built my house on it, built a 32x48x12 shop where I rebuild old cars. I own over 30 old muscle cars... no, they are not all nice, most are projects. I paid off the mortgage and building loan in 8 years, on a 10 year note for both. I am not super wealthy either, I'm a 100% service connected disabled Iraq veteran. You can look up what my income is... Yeah, I did it on that. I will be 55 in a couple months, living an awesome life, doing what I want to do, and I just drove 3 hours one way to buy a Super T10 four speed transmission to put in one of my GTOs. Yeah it goes from suck to blow in a nanosecond when everything you worked for is ripped away and you have to start over. I did it in my mid 40s. If you're younger than I am and was, THERE IS NO EXCUSE. Get off the couch and make it happen. If you think my life was easy, things were handed to me, or that I had lots of opportunities provided to me.. then why would I enlist at 19? Then again at 30, with 7 years between the first and second. Its been a rough life to say the least, but you have two choices. Quit and become worm food, or keep going and actually do what needs to be done. Your tombstone will have two of the least important dates on it. The day you're born, and the day you achieve permanent equilibrium with ambient temp. The dash between those dates is what matters. Make the dash worth living.

Set yourself apart from them, achieve something difficult, become something more than just a basic meat sack. Let the weak cower and obey, they should not concern you. I feel no shame of other men, and I only feel pity for women, as they are gullible enough to believe that they are superior and capable.

  387.  @Tony-lk6sn  Grew up on a farm in the 70s and 80s, wrestled in high school. When I graduated in 1987 I weighed 170lbs and could bench press 265lbs, I am 5'8" and that strength came from the work I did on the farm. In 1988 I enlisted in the US military, at that point I could bench 330lbs because of the jobs I did, construction, agriculture, etc. In 1990 I was at the base, doing the most work, in the duty section doing the most work, during the airlift for Desert Shield/Storm. Came away from that being able to bench over 500lbs. You could say it was a physically demanding job moving cargo. The 92 budget cuts put me in the civ world again, so I got jobs as a machinist/CNC prog, started a business repairing vehicles on the side. All the factory jobs went to Mexico in the late 90s so my CNC job and the repair customers dried up. I had a wife and two kids with a mortgage at that point.

  390. I am polite and often courteous to people in public, doesn't mean I am nice. Kindness is often confused with weakness, and I use that to my advantage as people will underestimate me. I have what they call 'game' and I employ it with everyone, not so they will like me or anything, but often just to make someone's day better, like the people working retail. If I want to use it to get some strange, that is VERY easy to do when I see one of them looking at me 'that' way. For the last 10 years I haven't been overly interested though, not enough to put in the effort to get to know someone. That happens when a man gets old, other things are vastly more interesting and satisfying. For me building fast cars and working on my house/land is more enjoyable than wasting time on 'them' if you know what I mean.

  391. Already traveled the world, I am old and ex military. I'd rather spend my remaining years building my cars, living on my land, well away from cities, and enjoying the peaceful stress free life that comes after you have earned it. Got divorced in 2001 after being baby trapped (found out later not my kid), endured 8 years of hell with her, and was never going to do that again. The 90s were a different time, it was somewhat more rare people got divorced back then. In 2003 I met one who was different, 21 year old virgin when I was 34, smart, good head on her shoulders, kinda homely so I figured nobody else who appeared better than me would bother. Vetted her for 8 years and she was wonderful, got married then divorced in 16 months.. It was ten years ago last week that I kicked her cheatin ass out. She is not doing well, but its what she chose, so she gets to live with it. Had lots of them overseas, Germany, Dubai, Korea... Russians, Ukrainians, Arabs, Indians. I've done every bucket list thing other than twins. I am out of the gene pool, not getting back in. I have my kid and her mom ruined her life as well as mine. So no, I have no plans to travel and get a wife, but I might go overseas again and to South America to get some strange. For now the GTOs are keeping me satisfied.

  392. I am close to your age, I am 54. I've been divorced from my second wife for ten years, and 22 years from the first. I have stopped bothering to ask any of them out, but I get plenty of attention from them. There is a 27 year old and a 24 year old, both are average looking, the younger is slightly heavy, about 15lbs, maybe 20 and she'd be quite nice, who flirt with me and try to get me to ask them out. They will not stick around for 30 years. The women today are not like your wife and my sister's in law, they are not loyal, nor are they faithful, they will trade you in on a whim because they are told they can do better. Our generation is the last to have long relationships like that as the default. These young guys will never have that, and if they do have one stick around, it will not be without her running around on them, and they just accept it.
    2
  393. @Begeye-bh5ux how is it toxic to tell young guys that they have to work for it like us old guys did? They're not females, they aren't going to be give anything just because they exist. They'll have people who want to take everything they build and earn from them, so it can be given to females. Thats reality. Best thing to do is accept it, and get to work. Believe me, they'll never do as much work as I did, and they'll get much farther in life than I did, as long as they never get divorced. Every time I got somewhere in life, it was given to someone who not only did nothing to help me build it, but wholly undeserved it. If it happens again, there is going to be a fight and the world will probably know my full name.

  394.  @muhdiversity7409  yeah man, you're not the only one. Every so often I get one trying to gain my attention while I am driving the lime green 70 Cuda or the pearl blue 65 GTO. Have better things to do.. like tomorrow, I am going to sandblast the frame on a 2500 Silverado that I am building into my hauler for heavy things, like my dump trailer. Its a bit too chilly to do it today, so as soon as I am done writing this I am headed to the shop to continue converting two 850 carburetors to E85 so I can put them on my rather large and expensive engine, that with 20psi would make around 2000hp. Cars are so much more fun and rewarding, they don't take everything from you either.

  395. @@daveluzbo1085 I'm working on the fuel videos, have had other priorities for the last ten years, like building the shop, house, getting running water, and the last two years have been spent doing car stuff.

  396. The car analogy is fun. Except I can take a rusty rolling shell with nothing in it and turn it into a very nice and very reliable daily driver. I can do it dirt cheap too, because I have the skills and knowledge required to do literally everything on a vehicle. When it comes to resale/value, the car I choose to rebuild matters. A 4 door 1972 LTD is not going to be worth much. A 1969 GTO is going to be worth a lot more. I can daily drive an old car, and I do, a 65 GTO and a 70 Cuda are the ones I daily right now. I'm building more... The newer vehicles are worth less, too many electrical issues can crop up. With 'not fellas' its inverted. They have the highest value when they are 22, and then it depreciates every day and every peg D they take. By the time they are 50, they are almost utterly worthless and no amount of rebuilding will fix it. They are more like boats, the small fiberglass ones that are expensive to buy and maintain, and 20 years later you have to pay to get rid of them unless some doofus gives you money to take on all your problems. Its a hassle to put them on the water and go out, but its fun when you can... as long as they don't break. They think they are Ferraris, when in reality they are Yugos, utterly worthless and impossible to repair because there are no parts.

  397. I went out Saturday night, went to a small bar to observe and I had one drink. Just saying hello in passing to most of the women got me dirty looks, so I stopped talking to them. Had a better time talking to the bouncer, we talked about cars and the people who used to work there. A couple of the women talked to me and flirted, but decided to see if I would chase them. Play hard to get, ya don't get got. Got a glass of ice water from the homely and pale bartender, and left. Then I went down the street to hang out with my bro who is the bouncer at another bar. I never go in there, he and I stand/sit outside and talk about lifting, football, boxing, cars, whatever. His other job is being a trainer at my gym. Thats the only reason I go to bars, to talk to my friends who are bouncers. Last time I went out to his bar was July. This area is pretty boring, I have some gearhead friends I hang with and we do car stuff, not many females to bother us. Its a man thing for the most part. We are going to do some racing next year, deserted stretch of road, a bunch of cars, see who comes out on top. The women around here are on the large side, or the old side. Its always the ones who made poor choices in life and are divorced, or are unattractive. Thats why I do the car thing, live alone out in the woods, and though I tend to flirt with the women working the check out lane register, I don't ask them out. They are not worth the effort and risk. I kept my old man belly to keep them away, but now I need to get rid of it so I can fit between the roll cage bars in my race car. I guess wearing clothes from Tractor Supply and Menards will keep them thinking I am broke.. if they only knew that I have a passive income just under $100k..

  400. My favorite thing to do with alcohol is run it in my old GTOs and Firebirds, it makes LOTS of power. I drank a lot of beer when I was 19-20 and stationed in Germany back in 1989-91. I figured out its a waste of money and I didn't want to drink away my paychecks. 20 years ago in Korea I got wasted twice, still didn't drink much otherwise. Since 2015 I haven't been able to drink at all, it gives me a headache immediately, and I have aches all over for three days after. No buzz, not enough to get drunk, but it makes me feel like garbage for days after. I didn't drink anything in high school, I was the only kid who didn't. Just wasn't my thing, and I have never liked the feeling of being drunk, its not fun having my mind slowed that much. I make vodka, it goes into the fuel tanks of my cars and old trucks. Got into that back in 2007 as a means to be able to afford driving cars with 455ci(7.4L) engines that make 550hp+. I make it from cattails and tree sap for 40 cents a gallon. 87 octane is $3.60 91 is $4.80, and race gas is $12. I peer pressure people into using it as fuel..lol. Nobody really pressures me to drink the stuff.

  401. Out of every 1000 men, only 5.1 of them are marrying. When men are punished in divorce court for simply being male, its understandable that men are avoiding it. However when women think they can wait until 35 to have a family, its rather difficult to find a female to marry to start a family. What man wants to start a family with a woman who has seen 400 turgid members, let alone one that is going to push out disabled kids because her eggs are stale?

  404.  @michaelreutter9821  it is hilarious the way a woman's face lights up when I drop the fact I own my land (13 acres in the woods), have no debt, and have passive income. The look on their faces when I tell them I am not looking nor do I want anyone in my life is priceless. Yeah I kinda drop that, and the fact I am over 7000 straight days of Saturday since I 'retired' at age 35, as a means to be somewhat petty and see their reactions. The really funny ones are those who see me in the 70 Cuda, then the 65 GTO, the 70 GTO, and the 68 LeMans with an engine sticking out of the hood, and whatever else I happen to be driving, and they ask what I do for a living... I vaguely say "I build cars" but its not for a living, its for fun. I have lots of cars.... and some trucks. After being getting ahead was prevented from 1994 to 2015 because of an ex, it is glorious to be unencumbered with my entire income not being whisked away to be awarded to someone who betrayed and lied about me. You'd never know it by looking at me, I wear the clothes to town that I wear whilst working on my cars. At most I will put on a clean T shirt with car or concert art on it and some blue jeans. I drop it in conversation like 'oh and this too, its fun not having to work' as I buy $300 worth of groceries without paying attention to what it costs. Yeah I eat very well, no processed stuff for me. Its all fresh. Its worth it to spend money and time on cars, because old muscle cars are appreciating in value. Women are depreciating every day after the 24th birthday. My daughter will have a sizable chunk of wealth available to her, she can drive some, sell some, and live on my land never having to work again if she doesn't want to. She is learning a good work ethic right now.

I've had some of them for more than 40 years. I've traveled the world, gotten 'busy' on four continents, and risk has been a big part of my life. Calculated risk, not risk without reward. Two ex wives, two kids with the first one, and my youngest and I are pretty close. I never let one of them tell me what I could or could not do. In fact the first one still complains to my kids about me buying a 1970 GTO in the mid 1990s for $1000. I still have the car and that one has been gone since 2001. DON'T BE THAT GUY. He has done nothing in his life, taken no risks, achieved nothing. You can look at him and see he is soft, he lets everyone walk on him and cannot stand up for himself. Lift heavy stuff, do things that require effort, take on tasks that are arduous and dangerous in your youth, because it pays off when you're my age.

  410. A hard life builds tough people, or it breaks the weak. A soft life produces soft people, unable to cope with difficulty. I'm 55, lived a hard life full of loss, danger, and adversity. I'll take the hard life EVERY TIME. Not that I always do things the hard way, I mean I have a lift in my shop to work on my cars and trucks. Its better than sliding around under a car at my age.

  411. They can keep a man easily.. stay fit, be feminine, and remain pleasant to be around whilst being faithful. When they get a good man, they always think they can do better, and most of them burn their lives to the ground for a fling. They are untrustworthy as a whole because they are incentivized to burn their lives to the ground.

  413. I had no idea when I was growing up on a farm, growing corn and soybeans, that the beans would cause such a huge problem with 'males' in the future... They are like carnival attractions, bearded ladies.

  414.  @Essetheartist  you can want to grow old with someone all you like... ITS NOT UP TO YOU. Ask any man in the comments section who has been divorced or had a breakup with a woman he would have married, if they caused it, filed for divorce, or wanted to end it. We even stay with the ones who mistreat us, if only to protect our kids, but also because she will be rewarded at our expense no matter how it ends. All I wanted was someone to be there for me as we made memories and built a life together. My requirements are be feminine, don't be combative or controlling, and be faithful/loyal. So far zero women have been able to achieve that.

  415. My buying power is exactly the same now when I am single, as it was when I was with someone/married. However, now I am single and not even considering dating, so I am doing great financially, and when I was supporting someone else I was constantly broke and scraping by between paychecks. My opinion is the split tails are too damn expensive, and they put almost nothing back in. They just take take take and demand demand demand. I never worked a retail, fastfood, or office job that pays min or near min. Get some skills and be somebody. You can learn how to do so many things right here on YT, and use that information to gain exp and get a better job. Its easier now for all of YOU to get info and learn than it was for me when I was a teen in the 80s and a 20 something in the 90s. I had to find books and learn the hard way. Trial and error...

  416.  @samueldeoliveira7113  somewhat. It depends on what I want and how badly I want it. I've had well over 150 females, I know them quite well. That is on four continents and several countries. The wiring is the same in them. I am 54 years old and don't want to deal with the drama and waste of time they bring with them.

  417. Its like that outside almost every US military base in the world... Or nearby like in Germany. I had lots of fun being a 19 year old with no bills in Frankfurt 89-91. Europe was awesome back then, Dubai was a lot smaller, a quaint little city in the desert.

  418. Its relative man. Cities are more expensive, so even if you're making $200k a year, its going to cost you $180k+ a year to live there. There are more ways to earn a living and make bank than doing the 'office space' grind. I mean you say go to Thailand to live cheap.. ITS THE EXACT SAME THING. Make money somewhere other than the local economy, and live in a place where its inexpensive. Around here I am kinda somewhat 'rich.' I have about $5500 a month take home coming in, while most people in this area of Michigan are lucky to make $1500. There is no industry here, its tourism based, with a couple mines and prisons. In a big city I would be living under a bridge, or sleeping on a floor with a dozen other people. To hellwithdat. I made my money elsewhere, and live inexpensively enough that I paid off my land in 8 years. I got a ten year mortgage, but still, it was early. Doing a 30 year note is daft. I could be making a lot more from yt, but I don't really need to. The content I make takes a huge investment, then a ton of work, and really the videos are me showing others how to, or motivating them. I need the shop, tools equipment, parts, supplies, and the vehicles themselves. You get to sit there and talk, I have to spin wrenches and put in physical effort to make a video. Thing is.. I like doing the car thing. It relaxes and satisfies me. I don't need to be a millionaire to enjoy my life.

  421.  @liverpoolscottish6430  only three old cars? I'm 54 and you're slackin man... those are rookie numbers, gotta pump them up. In 1991 I was in the US military, and back then divorces in the military were super hushed, so I had no idea when I got out in 92. To be fair, I only have 3 of my 60s and 70s muscle cars licensed and drivable. 65 GTO, 68 LeMans (750hp Pontiac in it), and a 70 Cuda AAR clone. The first ex still complains about me buying my 70 GTO in 1994, we've been divorced since 2001. I still have it, and its going in my shop soon to get rebuilt into a nice daily driver. The 72 GTO will get done the same time I do the 70, just get two of everything when I order stuff.

  422. Bo, you're comparing big cities run by "d" with small towns in Europe. No kidding is different. Out here in the 'flyover' that isn't happening. You can buy 100 acres here for around 100k. Fresh water is abundant, and you can do what you want with your land. You want to waste your life in a city, it's your funeral. People here are having kids, lots of them. I don't lock my doors, my cars all have the keys in them, the tweakers know to avoid me because they can get ventilation added here. I get why city people leave, I've been around the world already. Europe, Asia, Africa, I'm staying here where life is good.

  423. They can't afford to live the life they want.... Sounds to me like whiskey taste, with a water pocketbook. Life was rough for me, and I am 55, including two divorces and my job being sent to Mexico in the late 90s. I was relieved of paying the ex in 2015, and have rebuilt my life since then. In the 90s I was making $11 an hour, and got ahead with overtime. 50 to 70 hours a week, and the ex destroyed all of that work. My first house was $37k, built in 1910. I built a small house to live in, on a piece of inexpensive land. I am living well within my means, and I am not even close to $100k a year. Never in my life was I able or willing to pay $350k for a house. I bet I know exactly what the youth today are enduring, because it was forced on me with onerous child support. Bought my land, 13 acres, for $27k in 2013. Built my 32x48x12 shop for $18k in 2015. Built my 1050sqft house in 2019 and I have around $35k in it. LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS.. and put in the work to actually build your life. When I say I built my home/shop, I mean I built it. I did not pay a contractor to do it for me. Get the hell out of the cities, find a means of making money remote/online, and live where land is cheap. I get it though, kids today don't want to work like I had to, they want that cushy office job where they get soft hands and no muscle. Prove me wrong kids.... are you rough or soft handed?

  425.  @nicelypenn  its a bit of a long story, but I'll give the cliff notes version. Had a pentecostal supervisor who did not like the fact I was marrying an Arab, and changed my religion to do so. He made my life absolute hell, and he put off signing a piece of paper I needed to get my PCS orders amended so I could take leave overseas before I went back to CONUS. The day before my flight to Dubai, I finally got him to sign it by going to the 1st Sgt and telling him what was up. It seems my entire duty section was conspiring against me. (a common thing in my time in the USAF) He then got one of his pentecostal friends to let me sit in his office until after my flight left waiting for him to sign a single piece of paper. Thus I missed my flight. We were supposed to marry the next evening. I got Royal Nepal Airlines to allow me to fly down the next morning, awesome airline I tell ya.. However her mother said we had to wait another two years to get married. She was already 28, and two years later I knew I would probably not be able to afford to fly clear over to Dubai from the US. Contrary to what people think, mom runs the show in regard to the family in the Arab world. If she says no, then it does not happen. I still flew down there and tried to fix it, her dad tried to fix it, but her mom was stubborn. I knew if we didn't get it done then, I would probably never see her again. I had to do a 7" thick stack of paperwork just to marry a foreign national, it was over a year process and it was only things I could do during the daytime. I was working 12 to 14 hour nights from 10 Aug 90 until sometime in February or March with no time off. It was March 28th the first time I saw the sun again, Germany is kinda far north. Her mom ruined both our lives with her stubbornness. She was 32 by the time she married and her 2nd kid came along when she was 35 and he is all messed up with defects. He is a 6'2" toddler that cannot live on his own or even walk. My life was not favorable either, two divorces, and both of them drained me financially while they were with me and after. Thats another story that is even longer. She came to visit me last August, the first time we saw each other since 1991. She had changed, she treated me like her henpecked ex, talking down to me, disrespecting me, and nothing I did was appreciated. I drove 7 hours to pick her up, and 7 hours back, then two hours trying to find a motel since she was too good to sleep at my house. the next day was nothing but vile diatribes and irritating me. Called her out on it, and she said "I did not realize you were so sensitive." Its not a being sensitive thing, its "I don't like being disrespected thing, especially in public." If I was that way with my friends, they would not want to be around me either. We used to talk a few times a week online, video and audio chatting. I haven't even opened the message she sent the day I dropped her off at the airport. I am done. She ruined the friendship we had with her actions, and honestly I don't need a 61 year old around that only wants to complain to me about this or that. Even if she had wanted to get spicy (don't know if she did or not) after the first morning with her after my 16 hours driving, there was no way I was going to do that with her. So maybe I dodged a 105mm round, maybe it was just her messed up life with her ex, but the person she is now is nobody I want to be around. 34 years ago she was beautiful and kind. Now she is bitter at best. Her mother really messed up her life, and so did my supervisor.

  426.  @iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii2458  yeah I had some Navy squid types stationed in Frankfurt with me, weather guys. Most of my friends who went Navy ended up on frigates, subs, and carriers. They would go out for months at a time and waste all their pay in a port somewhere paying professionals. I saw more action than they did as a USAF cargo guy, but they definitely saw more blue water. Its not all of ya, but its lots of ya.

  428.  @Dgreen4154  yeah, we take leave and go places. We simply start closer to the destination than you do, and have options available to us that you do not. You can be salty about it if you want, but lots of us get them overseas... and we get the hot ones. You should see the Russians I had while I was in Korea, average for Russia and Ukraine, but 8 or 9 for here in the US.

Despite the circumstances I was dealing with, I found Korea to be full of great people and beautiful places... but that was 20 years ago.

  431. What I find most amusing, is that so many ignorant people think that so -c1a -l1st ideas will cure this, when its simply more of the same thing. I never worked an office job, all of mine were hands on, technical, and usually out in the weather. I never had a soul sucking cubicle job behind a screen. Most of these points in the article are hilarious. I got an Achievement Medal in the USAF for the first six weeks of Desert Shield. Thats the only time I ever got any recognition for my job. As a CNC machinist I improved the process and saved the company more than $90k a month in scrap on one part number alone, and didn't even get a thank you. The engineer that said I was wrong and that couldn't possibly be the cause, got a bonus and a raise. I left that job six months later. Good luck getting someone else to do what I could do.. :)

  432.  @pmscalisi  honestly? Because I have always wanted one on a Pontiac engine.. I have a twin turbo in the works when I want to make ludicrous power, but for now the tunnel ram draws a crowd because people just don't see these engines done up like that. I can easily overpower the chassis I have without forced induction, so this is a learning project and lots of fun for me. I get to do all the builds I wanted to do for the last 40 years. I'd rather not splatter myself or wad up one of my cars, because I slapped some snails on and made 2000hp with a stock suspension. I have bigger and better, more ludicrous builds in the works.. like 64 and 65 gassers. The tunnel ram and blower will end up on them, with much milder and smaller cube engines, which I have sitting around waiting to go in something. Would have been doing this a couple decades ago if I had never gotten married and had kids. Since I don't get to spend time with my kids, and haven't since they were 4 and 7, its just wasted years.

  439.  @amx3257  most of my vehicles have carburetors, I can tune EFI and I do that on my LS powered trucks, also have FiTech EFI on my 65 GTO and 68 LeMans. Just built the engine in the 68 last year, started it for the first time this year. I have more invested in that engine than I do the 65 GTO.. Hearing it fire the first time made everything I had to do to build it worth the effort. That thing is a monster, need to get the car sorted out by driving it, that has to wait until next year. It has too much power to drive in the rain I've been getting, and drag radials don't like wet roads either. I live to do this stuff.. I hate working on minivans and SUVs for other people, but I love building wild street machines.

  440.  @Mr.Helper.  listen to a comic, and he will tell you amusing stories about all sorts of things. Like Bert Kreischer talking about being a dad and his trip to Russia as "The Machine" or Robin Williams talking about the Scotts inventing golf. Chappell goes off on seemingly wild tangents and brings it all back together. Then you listen to one of 'them' trying to be funny and all they talk about is dating, the stuff between their legs and how often they get it plowed. I suppose I could get back into standup, talk about how tiny my member is, or how I cant see it under "mah bellah!" but it would be as boring and stale as all of them talking about the barnyard odors emanating from their bits.

  441. SHORT GUYS.. Look up Richard J. Flaherty. Green Beret, Airborne, multi tour Nam veteran. Had to get a waiver just to join the Army. He was hard core and I would tower over him if we had ever met. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, put in the work, and your life will improve. I'm 5'8" and now I am 55. I wrestled in high school, was benching 265lbs when I was 17 and weighed 167lbs-175lbs. I was a monster who could defeat the 185 and hvy on most teams, and all the small guys. I pinned more than half of my 26 wins, K/O.'ed one, and broke several bones on others. If my opponent was taller than 5'10", he had almost no chance against me. I am far stronger now, and have even more training. So its amusing when someone's tall boyfriend tries to intimidate me. I used that in the military, and I never found anyone that could hang, who was not also a wrestler. I have somewhere between 150 and 200 notches, I lost track back in the early 90s. I think the first ex was like 89 or 90. I have a gorilla belly now and I STILL get attention from the 18-26 crowd, and the older than 40 examples are thrilled to have me even look at them and say hi in public. Huge smiles just like they would do when they were teenagers looking at the school quarterback. The 30 somethings are looking for someone to allow them to not work, and pay their bills/take care of their kids. Once they hit 30, they lose interest in me fast.. lol. I am the fun muscle bound freak, not a long term possibility. My younger brother is 5'6" if he stretches a bit. You really don't want to mess with him. Army vet, 7 combat deployments, ended his 23 years as a UH60 pilot/instructor. He did better in wrestling than I did, and was a 138lb monster. His wife was quite the hotty 30 years ago, and they are still together. He is hard core when he needs to be.

  442.  @SartorialisticSavage65  yeah some of them do, I usually do depending on the expression they have. If they are afraid, I talk to them and make some jokes, put them at ease. I live in a rather rural area, largest town within 3 hours driving time is 26k people. I did the same thing when I was stationed in Charleston SC 20 and 30 years ago, and in Germany 30 years ago. If I don't want to be bothered, I don't start anything. Also, probably same as you and every other man in the world who isn't a 6'5" millionaire, if we don't open them, nothing happens. Here's a curious thing to ponder. If I were over 6' would I have developed such a high degree of being able to talk to them? If I had my ability to talk to them that I have now, and I was over 6' then just about any female that doesn't have more money than me would be like putty in my hands. I developed the ability to talk to them BECAUSE I am just under average height. My massive confidence comes from competition, wrestling, warfare, military, drag racing... I've done things many people can't, and I know what I am capable of. That comes from having a difficult and arduous life, and most tall guys don't have that. They don't have to work for some things, whereas we short guys do. Chicken and the egg... Its interesting to think about though. I watch these channels for something to do and think about. I've had my share of poooooon, several times over. I share my experiences so other guys know that they aren't the only ones dealing with this, that all this stuff can be overcome, and that persistence with determination pays off eventually. Keep slogging through hell and eventually you come out the other side stronger than you were before. I'm a gearhead, I like to build cars and trucks, then go racing. Thats why I am not leaving the US, tuna scented whistlesacks aren't enough reason for me to stop doing the car thing.

  443. Live in an area where actors and other millionaires want a vacation home, yeah you're not going to afford a place to live if you're not one of 'them'. I on a fixed income, I won't even try to live in a place like that. I know I can't. Literally any other town in Wyoming is affordable, you don't have to live in the expensive areas. I live on $4k a month, own 13 acres, built a 32x48 shop, built a 1050 sqft home, and paid it all off in 8 years. I'd be living under a bridge in LA, NYC, Chicago, etc. The video Bo is talking about here is made by people who are jealous and resentful of people who have more. Their idea is to take from the people who have things, and give it to those who don't want to work. In my part of Northern Michigan, people can live on $1500 a month. $3k a month will get you land and a home like I have. If the rich want services, they'll need to hire people directly and provide them a place to live. Otherwise, they will have to travel to get food. If you can't afford to live there..... DON'T. It's that simple. Where I live is stunningly beautiful, and cheap. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE YOU CAN AFFORD. The USA is a big place. Avoid cities, it's that simple.

  444.  @stielimusterman3066  you did not learn anything about this subject, because you are easier to control when you think you need to be subservient to keep a wife. They want you to get on the treadmill and work your entire life for their benefit, and then when she decides she wants a new adventure, she leaves you, takes everything, and you have to pay her to screw other randos. You still work, receive zero benefit, but now you are completely unable to fight back as they take everything from you. Keeping you ignorant is how they keep men climbing on the treadmill.

I am enjoying the effects of their poor choices, hearing the lamentations and cries about being alone and unable to find anyone... they do not realize they need to be someone worthy of having a quality man.

  448.  @superdave8248  the way it works in Germany is you pay her up front, and if you go into her tiny apartment where she works, you have to pay her even if nothing happens. They like to drag GIs in their rooms who are walking through. If you don't pay, she calls security and then you end up paying one way or another. Germany subsidizes and manages them, makes sure they are disease free, healthy, and aren't doing anything nefarious, while also ensuring they are safe to sell their wares. Women here in the US don't want that, because it means they would not be able to extract resources from thirsty males without giving anything back to said males. It lowers their overinflated value. Of course, here in the US she would be compensated up front and have the reserve option of taking him to court after the fact as well, because they get the P pass here.

  450. I'm gen X, and I struggled my entire life. I left the farm as soon as I graduated high school in 1987, because any money I earned was taken by my parents and I worked every day for nothing growing up. Not work like an office paper pusher or fast food job, it was bench pressing 265lbs at 17 when I weighed 175-180lbs, and spent no time in the gym kind of work. Joined the military in 1988 and got worked beyond imagining in Desert Shield/Storm, then the draw down in 1992 after the collapse of the Soviets meant I got kicked out. It got worse from there, but I kept going. Worked in a factory, and also put in 50 to 70 hours every week to make a living on $11 an hour. In summer the factory was 120F to 135F, in winter it was 80F to 95F even when it was below zero outside. I never worked fast food, stocking shelves, retail, or any other service type nametag/hairnet min-wage job. All my jobs were technical, and I learned them by doing them. OJT. I was a machinist and CNC programmer when it was a very steep learning curve. I worked on cars and trucks, rebuilt transmissions after I learned how to do transmissions at a VoTech. Never bought a new car, I have always driven old cars and trucks. The newest thing I ever bought was a 1998 in 2004 and it had 80k on it. I am VERY good at working on and repairing vehicles, and there is a reason I don't buy anything newer than 2007, and thats because I need several different scanners and diagnostic systems to make all the various parts talk to each other on newer stuff than that. I can take a $500 rolling shell and turn it into a reliable daily driver for less than $5000, oh and it will be about as fast as a new Hellcat. The first house I bought was $37k in 1995, because it was built in 1910 and was actually two additions on a single room shack. Ex wife screwed that up and I lost it when she got 71% of my gross pay in child support. She was the worst mistake I ever made. Had to go back to the military in 2000 because all the factories were packed up and sent to Mexico in 97-99. Just in time for my second major conflict and getting worked until my body gave out at 35 years old. Final divorce was in 2013, I don't even date anymore. Left me living in my car, but I bought some land by selling some old car parts and my parents loaning me $2000 for the down payment. I built my house and the shop by hand, while being crippled and on a fixed income of $2000 a month. Paid off the land and building loan in 8 years, that was February 2021. I saw all of this coming, and got out from under all debt. The land was under $30k, because its in the woods of northern Michigan, the building loan was $30k, because doing it yourself saves you on labor. I turned $30k into a 32x48x12 shop with a concrete floor and a two post lift to work on my cars. Contractors wanted $90k to put up a 24x24x8 garage after I cleared the trees for the foundation. I can build that garage right now for about $6k, the largest expense is trusses and the steel roofing. I am still working to get what I want, building old cars from rusty heaps. There is no way I can afford to buy the cars I drive, have to build them. Buy a new car and you have the loan, the interest, full coverage insurance, taxes, and plates/registration is thousands of dollars. Build an old car you have a few weeks of work, a low cost of entry, plates are dirt cheap, and you can drive it around on crash and burn minimum insurance, and never have to take out a loan. 20 year old half ton trucks are the cheap way to go right now. All my life I have known that if I wanted something, I had to work to get it, and usually I had to work harder than most people, because my family or an ex wife was taking most of what I earned. Its like I have been pulling a weighted sled my entire life and I fought to keep up with everyone else as much as I could, and it made me incredibly strong.. but not rich. There are very few things I cannot do competently, because I have never been able to afford to pay someone else to do it. If you think people were buying houses and new cars on min wage during my lifetime, you are delusional. The boomers had it better than I did, but they still had to do more than the bare minimum of showing up to a nowhere job. You cannot imagine how much work I put in during my life, but at 55 I can bench over 500lbs, or pick up 500lbs and carry it. None of that strength came from a gym or juice/gear, it was eating a lot and being worked an insane amount for months on end. You don't get that kind of strength in a soft hands office environment. I can lift like that, but man does it hurt for a lot longer as I get older, so I usually use something to lift heavy stuff. It keeps the muscles attached to bones that way. Bootstraps? No.. LEARN HOW to do things, the more you know the more valuable you are... and NEVER get married.

  452. I have two of them, both decided they could do better. Both discovered they not only didn't do better, but they did far worse. Yes, they are super angry that I am doing very well and blame me for their poor choice to leave. The look on the face of the first when she saw my land (13 acres) and home was priceless. The MIL drove her up here, and they both realized how wrong they were when the MIL told her to leave me in 2001. I rebuilt my life since 2015, when the first was out of my wallet for good.

  453. I've been talking to and flirting with this 27 year old who works at the grocery store I go to since she started working there last year. Last night I asked her if she wanted to hang out, and she said "As friends only" to which I replied "yeah, that is what I meant. I have been divorced twice and have zero intentions of dating." She is fun to talk to, and she is amusing. Not the best looking, but I like her personality, and I usually don't like people much. She is happy and pleasant most of the time, that alone makes her interesting. Hell no I don't want to date her, but having another friend would be a good thing. She is not from around here just like I am not, we don't fit in with the locals very well. Local women are undesirable even if they are thin and good looking. Its the attitude that is the problem. She mentioned like four times 'friends only' so I bet she doesn't get it or believe me. From talking with her we have lots of similar interests, cars, trucks, dogs, movies and respiratory issues.. heh.. Usually just me being polite and friendly makes them think I want in their pants. The last thing I want is drama and walking through the minefield of getting romantic interest. I am 54 years old, and have tired of that ten years ago. Sitting around a campfire, drinking some vodka, enjoying the stars or northern lights, and not having to prove anything, simply having a good time is preferable to all the nightmare that western women are when you're banging them. She seems interested in doing some stuff with my cars and trucks, so that is an opportunity for her to learn, grow, become more independent and capable while getting out of her boring apartment. I can have someone to talk to a few times a week, that alone is a plus to me. Its amusing they can't believe we check out on them like that and don't want to be intimate with them. its rare I find a female I like talking with, never mind being physically attracted. I hide my wealth from them, I have stayed overweight for the last ten years to keep most of them away, and its exceptionally rare I offer to spend time with them. I have another female friend who is into old cars, but also she likes women and has never had a man, she is fun but she is also super busy with her business. this new one would fit in with our tiny group rather well I think. The only way western women are enjoyable is when you are completely uninterested in them intimately.. lol. Ok, to be honest I am looking for someone who can watch my dog when I travel that won't steal everything from my house.

  455. The first one is living in the 90s, maybe the early 00s. She thinks its still like it was 20+ years ago. Yeah, she is talking about what she did and thinking kids are doing that today. The second one, she regrets her actions, but still blames him. They ALL do that. Her vocal fry is super annoying too, why do they do that?

  457.  @nicky640  the point is they are NOT your priority, YOU should be your priority. The path you want to travel in your life, goals you want to achieve, things you want to do, places you want to go. They can follow along with you if they want, but they are NOT why you do things. If you make them your priority, they will not stay long. Its the rare one that will stick around anyway, most will take off and do whatever they feel is best for today, with zero concern for you or how it affects you. Why is that? Because YOU are not their priority, they are self absorbed and will do what is best for them with zero qualms about you. Sacrifice yourself to them if you want, but I prefer to live in doors, sleep in my bed, and not be subject to their whims.

  460. Its not worth the effort to bother with females. Buy land, build a house, get energy independent, the largest expense of your life will be energy. Food, fuel, heat. Far more people expire from cold than from heat. Learn skills, how to do things so you don't have to pay someone else to do it for you. Continuous learning, the more you know the more valuable and useful you are, and the less dependent you will be. Live for you, care about you, because nobody else will. They will try to take what you have built, trust me... thats what they did to me.

  463. Find a way to get what you want, without doing illegal stuff. Its going to take some effort and time, and while you're in a nowhere job, think about what you can learn, do, or build to improve your life. I never saw any job as my future or way to riches and wealth. They were all temporary. Just a way to get by for a while, and move on when it was depleted, like mining an ore vein in the ground. At 55 I am looking at how much time I might have left where I am functional, and its maybe 15 years. There are things I want to do before my expiration arrives, and my mind sometimes keeps me awake at night chewing on if I will get the important ones done. Mostly its car builds... Maybe it was how I grew up, essentially alone in a family with six kids, I and the second and was always the outcast, my family tolerated me is the best way to put it. Maybe it was growing up ion a farm in the 70s and 80s. Going back to when I was 13, I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and it wasn't a job. Jobs merely paid for what I wanted to do. I wanted to go drag racing, build cars to have fun, and drive the stuff I built. I never had the opportunity to make racing my life and source of income, I was always held back or prevented from doing it by someone else. Not blaming others, I mean they were doing what was best for them, and its just how it was, only a handful were malicious towards me. It was my circumstances, and it was rare anyone gave me a hand up. At 5 I learned that anything can happen, when my older cousin's husband had a tractor roll over on him. That guy used to take me around and do fun things, he could probably see that my family didn't really want me. You can go at any time. There have been more times than I can remember or count where I came close to not being here anymore. Military, farming, other people causing car accidents when I was a passenger, all sorts of things... including recurrent thoughts of sewer slide because of horrible things that happened when I was growing up. I have very few regrets in life, other than getting married.. and not buying that 1969 GTO Judge for $1200 in 1986. Technically I had earned the money, but my dad took what I had earned and said no when I told him about the Judge. He said it would never be worth more than $2500 to justify it, but I would have never sold that car. I haven't sold many over the years, which is how I have so many of them now, including a 69 GTO, well whats left of one. Live for you, because its the only life you're going to get on this planet, and what a wonderful planet it is.

It would kinda suck waiting for all the cool stuff to come along, like the internet, the plethora of parts available now, and I would have a very different collection of vehicles, but I could make my life so much better. The skills and knowledge were all I was missing, it required decades to gain it the hard way, and now we can just look it up online. One thing is certain if I got another play through, I'd be VERY conservative about where I put my thang.

We are silenced and maligned at every turn, called bad names and accused of all manner of very bad no good things. Then the conservatives come out and blame us for all the problems, and assume we are leaving them for no reason, when in fact they are simply using us and taking the cash and prizes the state gives them that we earned. Yeah I am done with them, and I am not at all lonely. After having everything of value taken from you twice and given to a cheating waste of oxygen, well the snot pocket loses its appeal.

The manager at my gym is one of those guys. He drives a lite blue Honda Fit, and has almost zero masculine traits about him, but dude 6'2, ripped, in shape, and has some decent size to him. I am old, gray hair, short, not ripped, but I drive 50+ year old muscle cars and carry myself VERY differently, and I get lots of attention from women... from way too young to way too old and everything between. I try to look poor and pudgy, I don't want to lose another house to divorce.

  474. IN 1989 I was stationed in Germany, dumped my chick back in the states because she was bangin everyone who showed interest. There are women from all over the world in Frankfurt. I met a beautiful Arab one who lived in Dubai, and got engaged. My military supervisor screwed me over, and I missed out on the last 33 years with her. I got baby trapped by a chick in my home state back in 1993. That ended in 2001, and I was off to the races again. Went to Korea in 2002 and put several more notches on, the Russians are smokin hot. Gold diggers from hell though.. I don't do military chicks, stopped talking to them in 1990. Asian women are good, they REALLY liked me and most of them still do. I don't deal with western chicks anymore, mostly I have lost interest anyway. Rebuilding my vintage GTOs and Trans Ams is far more rewarding and enjoyable.. vastly less expensive than a wife / ex wife. Something said in this video struck a nerve with me. He is right, 80% of males are doing nothing, achieving nothing, building nothing, so they deserve nothing.

  477.  @MatthewVanston  to be fair, I have some lipids on me, but I have a lot more muscle mass. When you have lots of mass covered with a little pudge, you look quite a bit like its all pudge. However the reason for my name on here is for a couple reasons other than that. First its memorable, because its silly yet kinda gross. Second it takes away the obvious avenue of coming at me when I bet you to it by saying, why yes I am rather large. There is also a joke in there, because while I was in the USAF I came back from the desert in 2001 with a six pack, because after the events of today that year, we were stuck on Camp Doha with nothing better to do. No airplanes, no work, so we spent entire days in the Gym Arnold donated to the Army. I came back with very low BF% and my USAF unit put me on the weight program. They did not care that I was stronger than everyone else in my unit, and probably on base, they decided I was too heavy despite coming back 20lbs lighter than when I went over. Now, 20+ years later, in my 50s, I have a belly, but you can also see my ribs and the definition in the rest of me is pretty good. Not bodybuilder good mind you, but like a svelte power lifter. In 1991, after my first war and the massive airlift to support it, where I was being overworked severely, I had 22" arms, 52" chest, and nearly 30" thighs, while being only 5'8" and I could lift far more than I looked like I could. So I know a thing or two about work, muscle, strength, and masculinity. and yeah, I have a belly, its damn hard to get rid of it when I can't run anymore since the 2004 deployment. Walking it off doesn't work, because I can't go that far, and riding a bike causes pain, but I will be getting in more miles on a treadmill and my bike over the winter and next spring. I think it would be hilarious to not have the belly and keep the name while being ripped..

  478. Ya know, the range of people regarding every attribute of human existence, varies greatly. Some people are smarter than others, some are more adaptable or flexible to changing environments. To have friends, you have to be someone that people want to be around. If you need ethanol or weeds to achieve that, there is something lacking. To have money, you need to focus on getting it, put in the work and make it happen, some people aren't interested in lots of money (like me, I have enough to do what I want) others want money but have no idea how to get it, most people don't want to put in the work to get it. The guys who put in the work and focus on it, get what they work for. You won't get rich working for someone else, you have to find a niche you can utilize and make your money there if you want to get ahead of the crowd. That takes a hell of a lot more work and time than working for someone else. It takes discipline and motivation too. Most men, myself included, have friends because of a common interest. Most of my friends are car guys, we build, race, and drive cars. I'm not friends with many of the guys who have an old car that only leaves the garage for a car show, just one to be honest. He's old, pushing 80, and owns a numbers matching 69 Judge, and a 65 GTO kinda like mine as in not original but a nice driver, but his is nicer for sure. I don't have many friends who aren't into cars and trucks, but the ones I do have other similar interests like RC planes/boats/cars, or long distance hole makers. If you don't do anything, you won't make friends. You have to go somewhere, talk to people, and have a common interest beyond bottles and papers.

  479.  @krakentoast  the Arab woman I was engaged to 33 years ago has lived in Germany since 1995. She grew up in Kenya and Dubai. She came to visit me for a week and left yesterday. Germany turned her into a horrible, negative, tiresome individual. She was so sweet and wonderful all those years ago. I was happy when I was finally able to put her on a plane and get rid of her yesterday. My family came to the US from Germany, near Dresden, in 1867. I was stationed in Frankfurt 1989-91. I was last in Frankfurt in 2004 coming back from a deployment to Kuwait. Back in the early 90s it was a much better place than it is today. I have no plans to return. Y'all have ruined the 'old country' as my grandparents called it.

  484.  @musclecarenjoyer  mine don't, but Pontiac was abut more than straight lines. If you compare a chevy or Ford to a Pontiac, you will find them to handle poorly and stop even worse. Mopars seem to handle decent, and the brakes are ok. My 67 Cougar came factory with 4 piston disc brakes, so it stopped great.. but handled like a turd, and it was slow with a 302 in it. Now it has a 351C, and I am building a 351C 4V for it that has been stroked to 400ci. Should be a fun daily driver.

He doesn't have to say it in every video, but he says it often enough.

Or 22 years, 7 months since the first one finally left... Last payment to her was June 2015. Her life is going worse than the second one's. They were very different from each other, but..... still female. They did the same thing in the end, but everything up to the end was very different.

  487. What you're seeing is guilt. He was trained to feel guilty about nearly everything by a strict religious family. Not exactly a bad thing, but it can have consequences and there are better ways to raise kids than instilling guilt as the prime mover for obedience. Want to know who were the wild unrestrained people who made lots of poor choices when I was in the USAF and living around the US/world? It was the preacher's kids. Every PK I have known has been through a period of their lives where they rebelled against the parents and religious rules. Some Amish communities push kids out to the world without support so they can see what its like, and that usually removes any notion of wanting to stay out here, but they don't seem to be like the evangelical types who seem to have this problem in droves. If the family is strict, the chances the kids will fall prey to things like online spicy stuff is higher. They don't have the skills/tools to deal with it, and they are the ones who find themselves compelled to engage in the illicit behavior. All they have is guilt, and it crushes them. This kid is messed up by what he has been doing, that is plainly obvious. But he has the added guilt, that is making it worse for him. There is a strange euphoria that comes with doing something illicit and forbidden when you're in your teens and twenties. I remember having it when I was about 12, and learning how things worked and the obvious reasons for spit tails. The kid in this vid was kept away from this sort of thing, and told he would be thrown in a fiery lake for eternity if he looked at it. There are better ways to keep your kids from engaging in less than brilliant activities. He needs to deal with that guilt first, because if he doesn't he will relapse over and over and have a miserable life. If you're one of these young guys who found the spicy sites early in life and have a religious upbringing: Deal with the guilt first, until you have the skills to handle that, you will not succeed. After the guilt, you need to work on discipline and will power. You do that through self talk, mildly chiding yourself when you have errant thoughts. I used that method to deal with my PTSD, to keep me from getting irrationally enraged at perceived thrteats. It works, but its difficult. For somewhere around 3 years I worked on rewiring my mind so it didn't go down the rage path under stress. You retrain your mind to go to better places, and like Bo said, physical work helps with that immensely. Work out, lift heavy stuff, go for hikes in nature and retrain your brain. The spicy stuff is just the symptom of much larger issues, and its entirely in your head. Some people catch bad habits easily, smoking, drinking, other harder things, this subject.. whatever. Some of us are not as prone to it. The more you deal with early in life, the easier everything else is later, aka been there, done that. The easier and softer your life is, the harder it is later when you run into that problem for the first time. My family never had a hang up about that part of life, mom and dad had six kids so they were gettin down often. When dad passed in 2020 we found his 'stash' of rather interesting things, think leather and rope. All of us kids are well adjusted, my parents didn't try to keep everything away from us, but they also did not over share. We were never made to feel guilty about that part of life, never told it was bad, just that it was private and not something you want to spread around and flaunt. The oldest three of us don't smoke, but the younger three smoke. The oldest and youngest have issues with drinking, the rest of us don't. The two of us who went to the military have PTSD, mine is from the oldest trying to delete me, so I have other issues and am far from perfect, despite having very few vices if any. I've never felt guilt. Thats because of how I grew up, lets just say it wasn't pleasant (daily terror for most of it mostly due to my older brother), and I have been twice diagnosed by VA shrinks as a sociopath. Its not as bad as it sounds, we just have to try/make an effort to feel empathy, we have no remorse nor guilt, but I have a code or set of rules I live by, and it overlaps with society to a large extent. Also have PTSD which brings its own set of 'fun' things. As such I do not have an issue with spicy stuff, no guilt dragging me down, no problems with the equipment not working, I VERY much prefer the real thing. I had an exceptionally high spice drive from about age 11 to 37, and it caused me to make some bad choices in who I got with, and what I would put up with. Thankfully now I don't have much drive, almost no interest and that whole system is now a 'maintenance' issue more than an amusement park. It works flawlessly though, which is the maintenance at work.

I am almost 55, and through experience I know that the hotter they are, the problems they bring to your life. She is exactly what a guy 5 to 10 years older than me will want... thin, pleasant, presentable enough to be seen in public together.

  494.  @ferd1775  it made me VERY muscular, like 5'8" and 240lbs with a six pack muscular. Able to bench or lift and carry 500lbs muscular. Then they broke me by working me at 35 like they did at 21, and it was at 21 back in 1990-91 that I packed on all the muscle. So I haven't been able to run since 2003, got messed up in 2004, medical discharge in 2005. Max distance I could walk was 100 yard per day until 2014. 100% service connected P&T so I am on a fixed income. Its more than just the physical stuff. Now I can walk a good bit, but my metabolism is all screwed up (long story about a childhood diet due to supposed allergies) so it is still super easy to pack on more muscle mass despite the fact I am 54 now. Also I wrestled in high school and a bit at the base level in Europe before the war, and wrestlers tend to have some issues with weight because of cutting so much in high school. I would cut 30 to 40lbs every November to make the first tournament in December, but thats not military.. So as I do work around my property, because I cannot afford to pay someone to build my house, shop, cars, do the landscaping, clear trees, shovel gravel etc. I have gotten bigger and heavier. Not being able to run is the reason I am quite large. The max caloric intake I have on any given day is 1900, usually I am around 1000 calories. If I go higher than 2000, I pack on a ton of pudge real fast. So now I am 325lbs, but I look like 240ish, have no double chin, no flab anywhere but the old man belly, which is shrinking since I stopped drinking coffee.. the coffee was inflaming my abdomen making it distend. My job was air cargo, for an idea of what its like during wartime, take two F150s, put them in a parking lot bumper to bumper, now push them across the lot. Do that for 12 hours a day, every day for a year. Then you can alternate with carrying 100lbs in each hand up three stories while running, over and over for 12 hours every day for a year. Then go to a 7 on 1 day off schedule for another six months. I was loading planes single handed in 120F-135F heat in Kuwait in 2004. Pallets were between 2000 and 10,000lbs each. When I was 22 my measurements were bigger than Arnold, but I have more of a power lifter physique, not a body builder, more like a 5'8" version of the Mountain from GOT. So yeah... the USAF made me huge, punished me for it the rest of the time I was in, broke me, ended up on a fixed income, and I can't stay active enough to not have a belly... Working on it though.

  495.  @tiffanygrever8092  I am polite, not nice. There is a difference. Also, most of my weight is muscle. I am 5'8" tall, 320lbs, and you can see my ribs. I can pick up 500lbs and carry it relatively easily. You know Game of Thrones? Well take the Mountain, and shrink him to 5'8" give him a full head of hair, and you have me. It required a ludicrous amount of work and effort to gain this muscle, and it came from my military job, not a gym. So its different than someone who sits around all day, stuffing their cake hole with unhealthy stuff, and never ran a mile in their life. I have a belly, and I am barrel shaped, but there is no double chin, no extra flab beyond a thin layer that obfuscates my muscle. Most women do not want a 5'8" muscle bound freak who is built like a silverback gorilla... but a surprising number of them do. Well at least for a few romps of being slammed against a wall and railed like a wild animal. Yes many of them are fit and not flabby, currently there is a cute 27 year old who flirts with me every time I go through her checkout line. I am 54 and do not dye my hair, its gray like Gandalf. I call myself this as a joke to the USAF, because they worked me to build all this muscle in 1990. 10 August 90 to some time in January or February 91 without a day off, 12 hour shifts, lifting and running with very heavy stuff for the entire shift. They made me huge then punished me for it the whole time I was in. When I got back from Kuwait in 2001, they put me on the weight program again, despite the fact I had a six pack and no belly. Thats where the name comes from. So yeah, I don't want some female who is over 140lbs. She has to look and smell good for me, because she will definitely get what she wants from this gorilla looking man... if she earns it.

  496. Typical, she doesn't get it. We cannot trust them. The more peg d's they have, the less we can trust them. Its not insecurity in us, that is almost entirely their thing. They are insecure about their looks and being wanted. Its simply that they are not trustworthy when they act like that one in the video, or the ones with a lot of notches. If we can't trust you, we are not going to commit to you. Its really that simple.

  497.  @adouloslabelh2957  don't want any. Could easily have plenty, its expensive and not very valuable, more of a liability or expense with no redeeming qualities. I look broke, and there is a reason for that. I keep my belly, there is also a reason for that, except I am currently trying to make it easier to get in and out of my drag car's cage. Built any $20,000 engines lately?

  498.  @daveswaninger1077  speaking of kids. I have two daughters who are now 27 and 29. Before the ex took off with them in 2001 I was teaching them all the time. They could both read and write before they were 4 years old, along with running computers. I was there teaching them when they learned to crawl, walk, run, ride bikes, talk, and the first letters my kids learned were GTO sitting on my knee at the nose of my 1970 Pontiac GTO. All of that I did while I was working 50 to 70 hours every week. I taught them math using my wrenches in my shop while working on cars as a side business to pay for parts to build the car I drag raced. They went into kindergarten reading, writing, and doing multiplication in their heads. I have a divot in the back of my skull from the coffee mug their mother hurled at me while I was teaching the youngest to read. It was completely unprovoked, bipolar females don't need a reason. When the neighbors called the cops because of her screaming and trying to harm me, the cops always wanted to arrest me. Never a mark on her, and I would be stopping the bleeding and wearing shredded shirts. You never know what she was going to do. I endured it to be there for my kids. I am a war vet with PTSD, so living with her was a living nightmare.. and I still did everything I could to protect my kids, usually from her, and teach them as much as I could. I got paid every Friday when I was between enlistments and when she had access she would have me $400 overdrawn by Tuesday. So yeah I shut off her access to the bank when she had me $600 overdrawn and hadn't paid the bills for two months and it was all turned off. Either the good ones don't like me, or there aren't many good ones out there, because I have only met one woman who treated me well. We dated for almost 4 years, and are still friends.

  499.  @tylergary5953  they do everything they can to get the man every female wants, then they don't do everything they can to keep him. If he has lots of options, why would he keep an old hag around? She has to work at it too. I have seen that when she starts popping out disabled kids, the father stops doing it with her. Makes sense, if the baby room is broken, he isn't going to want to put kids in it. Meanwhile the men like me are the ones who get forced into poverty when she thinks she can do better over 30 than she did at 21. That was both my ex wives, they hit 30 and filed for divorce so they could be with someone they assumed was better... only to find out, he wasn't anywhere near as valuable or competent as I am. They sure as hell weren't better looking... lol. Since I have had the first ex paid off since 2015, the whole thing is very amusing to me. Man did they choose poorly by leaving. The second one was the funniest by far.

  500.  @nikoryu-lungma  fresh and fit and their ilk are pushing a different idea than what RP was and has been. They use it to get some, and RP knowledge can be used that way, because its simply about reality rather than narrative and wishful fantasy. The metaphor used in the matrix movies can be used to describe religion, ideology, cults, and society itself. Once you see it for what it actually is, you are no longer held by it, but you can go in and mess around all you want like Neo.. heh.. They use that knowledge to get spicy time. Masculinity is on a downward spiral because fathers are not allowed to be in their kids lives, unless they fit the narrative. Mothers throw dads out unless they obey ever without question, because thats what society tells her to demand and do if he doesn't obey. You have a few men who lead the family and the wife knows her job is to support him, while she also knows if she leaves him she will never get one better than she has now. My brother has that going on, his wife is one of very few women who has earned my respect. Men follow competence, capability, knowledge, and its all based on merit. You must earn your place among men, it is not given. Leadership is important, as is honor and loyalty, if a man has none of those three, he is an outcast and rightfully so. If a woman has none of those, she is simply female. Its not her job to be a leader while honor and loyalty are not useful for her. She is different than men. It is what it is. I learned about leadership in the USAF, who was a tyrant, who was capable and competent, and who was under the impression that they needed to micromanage everything and everyone. The weak ones became tyrants. The incapable and less than competent were not respected. The NCO above you having no loyalty to his subordinates was far less effective at motivating people. You have to fight for your guys when they deserve it, not jump on the bandwagon and bash them yourself. I was the type of NCO who treated them like adults, here is your job, go handle it without causing damage to anything. I would watch what was going on as I worked with them, and if someone was being unsafe I would address it with them. The only time I ever raised my voice was to be heard over jet or diesel engines. People liked working with and for me, because I knew what the hell I was doing, I fought for them when they needed me to, and I worked along side them in the weather rather than sitting in an office somewhere. I had military and civilian air crews asking for me personally, by name, to come work their planes, because everything went so smoothly and any issues with the cargo were addressed right there quickly and efficiently. I found that being really good at what you do means you get to do more of it. Before I got out on a medical in 2005, they had me supervising ten airmen in two different duty sections on two different shifts, I only worked with two of them. Also I had 12 extra duties, including safety NCO and vehicles NCO, which meant I was often staying well past my 12 hour shift's end to handle things, I usually got 4 to 6 hours of sleep 2003 to 2005 and went without sleep for 2 to 5 days several times while I was in. Leadership and masculinity go hand in hand. Decisiveness, being able to function under incredible stress, and making good decisions every time is what earns respect from subordinates. People will follow you if you are competent and can solve problems and get the job done. If everything you do fails, they will not follow you. If you have no idea what you are doing, nobody will follow you. If you demand they obey and demand they respect you, they will not. All of that is lost on young males today. They have no idea how it works or why. Females can't really grasp it either, they think being a Karen is being a good strong leader, they have no freakin clue how it works. The worst NCOs I had above me were weak males and females. Capricious, vindictive, petty, and they mistreated me because they were intimidated by me physically and mentally. They outranked me because they had been in longer. I could write a novel on what those poor 'leaders' did to me over the years, just because they could. Several of them ended up with bad conduct discharges for what they did to me. I vowed to NEVER mistreat anyone like they did to me and to defend other members from being mistreated like I was. You're right about fighting, in the respect you described it, and also in being capable of inflicting grievous harm on others. Every male knows that there is always the probability of a disagreement going physical. Standing your ground to someone who is obviously more dangerous than you are is either foolhardy or brave. Which that might be depends on your competence and capability. Men are both simple and complex, as is masculinity. Most people simply don't know what it is, but they will have an opinion on it based on people like Tate and Fresh and Fit... rather than on someone who actually deserves it.

  502. @@C.a.r.m.e.n I've had lots of them, the hotter they are the worse they are between sheets. The hot ones feel entitled and put in no effort. The homely to basic looking ones put in effort, and when they haven't gotten much attention they go the distance eagerly. Some of the best mouth hugs I have gotten were from virgins, and yeah I was the first, when you take one you definitely know it. One was religious, the other was homely enough to be 21 and never go on a date. She is 41 now, still mostly thin but the years have not been kind. Her sister is 38 and still quite cute though... she is a 304 too. the religious one is now 60, we hooked up 33 years ago. The more they just lay there, and the less effort they want to put in, the more tab D's they have had. They fantasize about it even more than we do before they get their first, and they want to try everything, its like opening up achievements in a video game for them. They are going through the motions once they have had more than 3 or 4 guys. Been there done that and the contents of his wallet are all that matter to them after the first two. Make no mistake, even homely large ones can get 15 guys per month if they want to.

  503. 20 years ago in Korea, we called them Juicy G****. Im not allowed to use that word on here. They would come up and say 'Hi GI, buy me juicy?" A drink for her would cost $9 to $15, and she would sit and talk with you while she drank it. I hooked up with a few of them, they were Russian and yeah they were hotter than 90% of the females here in the US. If she liked you, she would drink it slowly, if she didn't like you, she'd slurp it down and ask for another.

  504. He has to make $42k a year, be at least 5.5, and own a car? That dude is invisible here in the US. College education only makes them THINK they are more valuable, because they assume what is attractive to them is also attractive to us. They think what makes us attractive to them is also attractive to us, as if we want or need someone with a car, house, good job, and age... Jon Lajoie has a song about it, "I can't put my ** in your college degree" They have a "best before" date that comes around at 29, but they assume they are more valuable after that day.... because men are.

  505. I learned about them while i was in Germany 89 to 91. When I was in Korea for a year 02 to 03, i already knew the deal. Talk to veterans about these places, we know. Well many of us know, some are the type to buy a v6 mustang or challenger at 28% interest. I wasn't one of them.

  506. I am the 2nd of six kids, I was ten (sister) and thirteen (brother) when the last two came along, and I had to help raise them and work the farm. I have two of my own kids, when I was 25 and 27, they are 27 and almost 30 now, both daughters. Raising kids is not difficult compared to the jobs I have done in my life. CNC machinist/programmer, farming, auto mechanic/shop owner, and Air Cargo in the USAF where I lifted heavy stuff and pushed even heavier things all day every day in the two largest airlifts in world history. Kids are easy, you keep an eye on them while you do other things, and you teach them about what you are doing. I taught my kids how to read using emblems on my old muscle cars. The first letters they learned were GTO while sitting on my knee at the nose of my 1970 GTO. Then Firebird, Pontiac, and on we went learning letters, the sound they make, how to write them, and by the time they went to school both my kids were reading high school level. I taught them math with my wrenches, metric wrenches are great because they are longer as the wrench gets bigger and they have a number on them. Only problem (very slight) is they start around 6mm. Fractions are easy when you use wrenches. My daughters also learned about cars and trucks, because after my factory job machining piston rings, I worked on cars in my tiny one car garage. I would take them out there with me, sit them on the fender, and teach them about what I was doing. Its fun rebuilding a Th350 transmission with your 6 year old daughter learning how. I worked 50 to 70 hours every week in the factory trying to stay ahead of the wife's spending, which is impossible. Give her any amount of money and she will have it gone and you overdrawn in a week, she will waste it on frivolous junk and have nothing to show for it. Working all those hours and still spending time with my kids, its easy when you don't waste your life watching TV. Spending time with my kids was vastly more enjoyable, and rewarding than working any of my jobs, and I am damn proud of the work I did in the USAF. Lots of humanitarian airlift too... just sayin. Raising kids was the easiest thing I ever did. After the divorce when I would get to have them overnight while I was on leave, then for the summer after I got out in 2005, was not a problem.. once I got them to understand life is different at my house. They had things to do and there was none of the bad things their mother had them doing, like shoplifting. The ex did her best to turn them against me, but with me they did not get screamed at, nor did they get hit, and there was always food in the house for the entire month. Their mother would rip through the monthly checks in the first week and then have almost nothing left to eat at the end. She still doesn't grasp that you have to stretch it for the entire month, and she turns 50 this fall. I'll take raising kids over working a job any day. I would love to have someone to teach everything I have learned over the years. I had to learn it all on my own, because my dad was not someone I wanted to be around. I got hit when he was around. I left the farm at 17 and never looked back. Dad quit farming soon after that, nobody was there to do the work and farming in the 80s and early 90s was not profitable. We finally got along somewhat ok when I was 45, and I fixed an old 1964 Plymouth for him that he had just bought. He got back into cars because of my younger brother and I being into them so heavily. He learned not to hit me anymore when I was 16, and I KO'd him. Only took one time. He is gone now, the hospital ended him in 2020 after a minor car accident when he was 76. As for how difficult it is to make content for online? I make car videos, and I work on my cars that I show in my stuff, making the video and editing it is simple and easy. It takes a lot less time and effort than rebuilding an engine, installing a transmission, or doing whatever else. Think of all the ones on webcams, spending hours every day to get money for taking things off... Best I can do is sand the old paint off a body panel..

Listen to their voices in this video, you can hear the haggish in them, when they sound like that they are incredibly negative and spiteful. After 35 they go downhill fast, by the time they hit 50 its like being forced to drive a clapped out 1994 Corsica.

  511.  @masterblaster1502  its not just those guys. I saw this every time I was stationed overseas, going all the way back to the 1980s. Picture this: You're in a country that does not share your language. 3000 to 6000 single men on base. 200 to 300 single women on base. Most of the men are in very good physical condition. The number of times an attractive man will say hello, flirt, or give attention to the females in a day is astronomical. Just from attractive men saying hi, she will get an inflated ego, and assume she is the hottest thing under the sun. Any man who does not measure up to her now lofty standards, is seen as beneath speaking to her. That process takes less than a year to be complete, and every 2 will believe she is a 10, just from verbal greetings in passing. We called it golden kitty syndrome. Using the P word instead. (GPS) The other thing is what happened in Korea 20 years ago, I was there 2002-2003. I hd stopped speaking to military females way back in 1990 after the first three asserted my hello was untoward. During the process of briefings for the new base, the men and women were separated. An NCO from medical came out and told us men flatly. DO NOT SLEEP WITH MILITARY FEMALES. He said go off base and meet Russians, Filipinos, and Korean ladies. The reason being is that all the women on base will stay on base, because they have ZERO value in Korea, nobody off base wants anything to do with them. They are relegated to the men on base, and they will forget they are married within the first two days of getting there. Because of the GPS, they would ALL hook up with the same ten to twenty men on base, the tallest, hottest, most promiscuous men who can take several of them back to his room every night if he wants and have them all. Yes, that happens. What happens when they are all sharing the same men who are the most attractive? Well one of those guys goes slumming off base, picks up a passenger that gets spread to the other females on base, who give it to the other guys who are daft enough to hook up with military females, and suddenly every female on base is in the medical building getting smeared and cured. Five or six guys catch it along with the one who brought it in. Today its in the rest of the world. Women can get that verbal greeting from millions of men. A dating app is where men have to fling messages to hundreds of them a day just to get one reply. Take 2000 men, making 100 to 300 messages a day, and suddenly the females are inundated with attention. Now make it the billion or so people on that app, sending messages. The 300lb mom of two I know gets 300 to 600 messages every day, and you can see on her pic she is not tiny. Its not so much thirst as it is the way its working, men have to 'hello' and 'hru' thousands of them to get one to simply reply. They don't know any better, and they keep doing it because they have no other options. Every so often a 'female' will reply, but its usually a bot... just to keep him there and entice him to pay to be able to message more of them. 20 years ago I got lots of them on the apps, because not many people were using them. I haven't used any online thing since 2014. I met one woman on there who wasn't repulsive in person, and we saw each other until 2018. She and I are still friends, because she is cool. I got her because I was funny, didn't do the hey bb hru thing, and I knew the difference between innuendo and double entendre. Mastery of language really helps. Now you could say its my age that makes it useless to use online dating, and in some ways thats correct. They see 54 and even worse 5'8", at which point they nope out of there. However, in person, I get a ton of college age women flirting, hitting on me, and wanting to get to know me. You should see old women's faces light up when I say hello or even acknowledge they exist in stores. I get LOTS of smiles and submissive looks. The problem online is there are just too many people saying heybb too often, because eventually it might work.. sorta.

  512. I have no problems with people who have lots of money, or if someone makes more than I do, or is given more than I have. I really do not care, and I do not think they took it from me to get it. I am concerned with my life, and rather than wanting things taken from others and given to me, I have always wanted to know how to get my own. I learned what I had to know to get what I wanted, and money is NOT what motivates me. That is why I build my old cars rather than buy them, because I can afford it that way, and I enjoy doing the work. Thats why I built my house rather than buying one for a lot more money in a city. I can live in the woods away from people, grow my food, produce fuel for my cars, and even have unclothed ladies walking around my yard. What I have a HUGE problem with is wealthy people using all that money to tell us how to live, or to buy legislation that benefits them at our expense. Rockefeller and Hearst both did that 100 years ago, Gates and others are doing it now. They think because they have more money that they are better than us, smarter, like they know what is good for us and that we should all do as we are told. I do not need them, do not need their ideas, and I do not need the be guided through life. I am smart enough to figure it out on my own. The ignorant and dependent people huddled together in cities with their hands out begging to be governed harder might not, but I can. They also like to pull up the ladder so to speak, make it extremely difficult to impossible for anyone else to make money like they have. They buy legislation to achieve that. after they have made theirs. They think its a zero sum game, just like all the people who are pissed that Bezos or Musk have more money than they do. That is scarcity thinking, the same as assuming that women are rare... There is what, 3 billion women on the planet? Having the gov meddle in business in any way is ALWAYS a bad idea, because they will do what benefits them. Also the people in gov are usually not the best and brightest, they are more often the C and D average students. I was in the US military and I have to deal with the gov all the time, trust me.. they are NOT brilliant. Having corporations is not a bad thing, having them buy legislation IS A BAD THING. My man, the thing you need to wake up to is the left is NOT about making life better for all of us. They are about consolidation, and a union is easier to 'handle' than a thousand independent machinists. They give you a little bit, take a big chunk of your pay, then coerce you to do their bidding, and you have to go along with what the union decides. You do not need a union to work together, but the union does make it easier for them to make you obey and do what they want. No, I am not against unions, but I am against them being used in this manner, as a form of coercion and overt influence. The left is all about top down authority, you obey or you get removed from the world of the living. They like to claim the right does that, but they also blame the right for everything the left does. The cronies who are buying influence and legislation are not on the right, they are authoritarians, and that puts them solidly on the left. The R's are not the right, there has been an influx of some in the party being on the right in the last few years, but all the old ones are on the authoritarian side. When I was a teenager in the 80s they both went after music and video games, trying to ban things, regulate them, censor what they did not want to be said.. BOTH "sides" did that. They are still trying to do that, and the old ones always will. My suggest as a man in his mid 50s is for you young guys to get involved, but also to educate yourselves so you don't fall for the bad ideas being bandied about. All you need to do is look at Europe in the 1900s to see just how bad an idea the left has had. They have been behind everything that is making your life worse, less fulfilling, and less than enjoyable. Learn to spot them, its easy because their rhetoric stays the same, with some nomenclature adjustments. Its always victim olympics, oppressor oppressed. They have so many assertions about this or that, and precious little of it works the way they say it does... but it sure as hell works wonderfully to delude the masses into thinking they are trying to help while they ruin your lives and limit your opportunities. 'Blame others for what you are doing' is their modus operandi. Look at the big cities, they complain about red lining and other things, when THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO DID IT. They are really good at convincing people its the others, but its them. Its always them making things worse for us and better for themselves. They are not going to help you, give you free stuff, or save you. The corporations don't get that money and property for free... they are bought and buy people in office in a mutually beneficial system of corruption.

  513.  @Something-tz2vw  lots of people speak English, and if you have learned an Asian language, Russian is super easy. There are no silent letters in it, and you can put the words ins just about any order and it still makes sense. Learn the alphabet and its not too difficult. However, Russians and soft men do not mix, you have to be hard minded and stoic with them. Also be ready to punt her to the curb at any moment and never look back. They'll do exactly that to you if they find you soft and compliant. I'm winning too, I own 13 acres of woodland near Lake Superior, have no debt, and I build old muscle cars for fun. I have between 25 and 35 Pontiac GTO/LeMans, and Firebird Formula/TransAms. With a passive income so I don't have to work for a living, I can do whatever I want all day. I choose to produce fuel to run my cars, improve my land, and build increasingly faster and or ludicrous cars. Can't remember if I bothered to get some last year or not, haven't yet this year. I just don't care about it anymore. Part of me thinks I should find a cute Asian or Latina, but the rest of me doesn't want the expense and drama. Wyte ones can forget it, they have proven themselves to be undesirable.

  515.  @manosijroy8282  to be honest man, you don't want to have a conversation with them. If they are from anywhere outside the Russian speaking areas, you're not tall enough. If they speak Russian, you aren't assertive and confident enough, they will destroy you. The fact you're timid and shy bears that out, I am not trying to be mean, I am giving you facts. Get your parents to set you up, unless of course you're from one of the bottom two castes, in which case.. look to Africa or south east Asia. That caste system is jacked up. No matter what you look like, if you're timid they are not going to like you for anything but an emotional tampon at best. Want confidence? Get into BJJ or some kind of combatsports, get proficient at it so you can actually win matches. Dangerous men are not timid nor unconfident. They have proven to themselves in the crucible of competition, thus they do not need to prove themselves to others. I wrestled in high school, and I was the strongest and toughest kid in school because of it. I was a monster. Then I enlisted in the US military, got more training. Trust me, they like dangerous men. The ones who look like me are a problem far more than a benefit. I was 'seeing' an Indian who went to uni here, her family is from the 2nd from top caste, she was all about status, she liked me because of the blue eyes, assertiveness, and how I intimidate almost everyone. She is 32 and alone now.. Sure, they initially like me because I have blue eyes and light colored hair (before it went gray), but if I was not confident, assertive, and absolutely fearless, they would not like me. I am 5'8" and I do not appear to be wealthy, I tend to hide that part of me as I prefer to look nearly homeless. It is a good filter to tell if they actually like me or not.

  516.  @manosijroy8282  I would advise you to NOT get married, but that is based on how things are here in the US. I never made it to India, have wanted to visit, but it never worked out. If the laws are different there, then sure go for it. Its nothing but risk for men in the US, UK, etc. Zero benefit for us. Doesn't matter if you and I are taller by 5 inches, if we aren't over 6' the pale ones are going to say we are too short. Read the part about getting into Brazilian Jiu Jitsu or some other sport like it. That is what you need more right now, you can do it along with Uni. Build yourself mentally and physically. That will make a HUGE difference in your life, it certainly did in mine. I was 25 when I got married and had kids, then divorced at 32. While its good to start early making a family, its something men can do at any point in their lives.

  517. I noticed that the apps were only giving me the dregs, 60+, 200lbs+, and it was rare I even saw anyone on them that was acceptable. That was ten years ago, when I was 45. 20 years ago I was able to meet someone online, because not many people were there and it was sorta new. Now at 55, its really not worth it for me to bother. In public I get attention, they say hello or hi, smile then look down and away, which if you know what that means... Online nothing, and I doubt its any better now than it was when I stopped looking. Sure, I am old but when 20 year olds flirt with you it means they don't want to know the number. Also most guys my age are not attractive at all, they never built themselves in their youth. I am too busy doing my thing to bother with dating, two wives set me back decades, so I don't need another one doing the same again when I am too old to rebuild.

  519.  @kristopherexe577  my parents were together until mom passed in 2014, they didn't like me, but they were together. My ex wife's dad took off, and after seeing how her mom and her are, I can see why. I stubbornly refused to leave my kids, no matter what she did and she did a lot, then the court forced me out of their lives. I had to pay, but I rarely got to see them, and I could not protect them from her or the males she brought around. She told them I didn't care about them, only the money. She kicked them both out when they turned 19 and the support ended. She told them I wasn't giving her any support, while 71% of my gross was being given to her before I ever saw it. She told them I mistreated all of them when they were little, completely gaslighting them because they remembered me teaching them to read, count, run computers, and more. She told them I ignored them, when in reality I was ignoring her because she liked to get irrationally angry to put it VERY mildly. When they were teenagers and came to spend a summer with me in 2009, they both realized their mother not only lied, but was getting most of my income and wasting it on herself. The two times I had both of them the courts seized my bank account as a punitive measure, it did not go to the ex, they just took it and kept it while I had my kids with me. An entire month with zero money, trying to keep me from getting time with my kids. Still I managed to have food in the house all month, where she would take the $6000 she got from her 2nd husband and me, and waste it on herself in a week, then the kids would be hungry for the last two weeks of every month. If your dad knows you exist, he probably wanted to have you in his life. However, she undoubtedly made that so impossible and horrific that its easier for him to tell himself you don't exist. I had to do that to keep my sanity, and to stop myself from checking out. From 2001 to 2009 I got a total of 12 days with them. Every time I came home on leave, I would spend most of that week trying to find them. Then I would get an afternoon with them at most. I loved being a dad and teaching my daughters everything they needed to know. I was robbed of all those years, and yes I am VERY salty about it. Find your dad, but expect him to be distant, he had to be if he is anything like me.

  520. I was stationed in Korea for a year, and when I went to Seoul I had young ladies ask to take their picture with me. I'm just a 5'8" blond hair, blue eyed muscle bound freak that looks like a gorilla. The only things I can say in Korean are hello, and a phrase that either gets me slapped or laid.

  521. They never consider a lot more than the competition. They never stop to think if they are worth what they demand and feel entitled to. They are solipsistic, it means they think the entire world exists because of them, which is why they think they can 'manifest' a 6'7" billionaire that will commit to them. Its far more than delusional, they are misguided, misinformed, and manipulated. The guys who slather attention on them aren't anywhere near as big of a problem as society/education/media telling them that she is worth that billionaire.

  522. I figured it out over 10 years ago. The apps would only show me the 60+ 200lb+ examples and I was 45. Have not tried them since then, zero interest because I can find that particular group in person. The hilarious thing is I get interest and attention from 20 somethings in public. Still amazes me that anyone shows interest in me, but they do.

  523. Ya have to look at who is in this video, they are basketball American, EVERYONE is rejecting them because of their attitudes and feeling of entitlement. I used to get with them, almost exclusively when I was stationed in Charleston, South Carolina, but I haven't been there since 2005. I've lost interest in them unless they are from West Africa, as in born over there. After the Rodney King thing they started to drift away from us pale-males. By 2003 very few of the thin ones wanted anything to do with us. Then the 2008-2016 regime sealed the deal on them, they dropped to least desirable during that period... because of the attitude and entitlement.

  524. I was in the USAF for just about ten years, with a 7 year gap in the middle. Most of my time was spent overseas, 2.5 years in Germany (89-91) a year in Korea (02-03) and 2 years total in the desert (Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Iraq) and the USAF does things different than the Army, we can live in and experience the local culture. The Army was banned from lots of places, but USAF wasn't, and people were genuinely happy to meet me in other countries. The notion that the US is not liked overseas isn't entirely correct. The French who live in Paris don't like anyone really, but every country I have been to was full of people who liked us... when we weren't dropping bombs on them. It DEFINITELY expands your horizons. Travel, even in the military, is highly beneficial.

  528.  @Noble99218  take a skinny broke dude, and a muscular broke dude, and see which one the women like more. Also you're talking about a different aspect of attracting women. They can't tell if a man is a junkie or a high value man, because neither of them have her as a priority, she is an afterthought. The less attention you give them, the more they want you, and the 'bad boys' you're thinking of are the ones who treat them like they don't matter, because to those guys, they don't. Now you have to be somewhat physically attractive for that to work. If you are someone that nobody wants to look at, because you are 5'4" and 450lbs, they will be thrilled that you ignore them. Now you can read about all of this, or you can go find out in person. When I was 16 I took the time to study them and figure out what attracted women to men. Then I could tell when one was into me, and when she was not, which made life MUCH easier because I didn't waste time on the ones that had zero interest. I've noticed that most of the guys who follow these channels are the type that women do not want, and they are incapable of reading non verbal indicators. Its a skill you can learn, and once you know what to look for, you see it easily. Women are not complicated, they are quite simple really. However they try to hide everything so they can have plausible deniability, because they can't stand rejection, and they are profoundly affected by embarrassment.

  529. Hannah sounds like those guys who think only a shop can work on cars, that it will cost a hundred thousand to rebuild an old car without rust. They can't do the work, so they assume nobody else can. They don't have the tools, so they assume nobody else does unless its a shop. I'm one of those guys, who is not super wealthy, but I have a lift in my shop because working on cars is something I do for fun, its my reason for living to be honest. As for cooking: I have flour, cornmeal, and lots of other things because I bake from scratch every week. I eat fresh fruit, meat, and veggies. Yeah a man who built his house, builds the cars he drives, served in two wars and has taken lives, hunts, fishes, and can do all sorts of survival things, can also bake and cook from scratch. I grew up on a farm, we had to be able to do things ourselves rather than have someone come out to do it for us. You can do multiple things at the same time, while one thing is curing/drying/heating, you do other things. Its time management. Some people are good at it, most aren't. Yes the chick making gum from scratch with the monotone narrating is playing a role, nobody dresses like that when they are cooking or gardening. What she is doing is not unrealistic, its the way things were done prior to the disposable economy we have now. My grandparents had chickens on the farm, and I remember grandma lopping off heads and plucking them with my aunts and cousins when I was a kid, before my dad bought the farm and we moved out there. I have two kids of my own, and I was number 2 of 6 kids, I am 10 years older than 5 and 13 years older than 6, so I have LOTS of experience raising kids. ITS FREAKIN EASY raising kids. I would have much rather stayed home and hang out with my kids, teaching them how to do things, than going to work for 50 to 70 hours every week to pay for everything. It just might be that I can do so much because I had to do things myself if I wanted them done. I couldn't rely on anyone else, and I had lots of things to do every day growing up. Are they so incapable that they can't take care of the house and kids? I did that AND worked as a CNC machinist, auto mechanic, and from 2000 to 2005 while in the USAF working 12 hour shifts. Urban people seem to be softer, less capable, and don't think they can do or learn things. Grow up on a farm and you'll learn how to do a mind boggling number of things, and you'll be proficient in them too.

  530.  @erickaleigh1650  I see, you have been chasing the dregs, probably because they are tall or something and don't care about you. Match made in heaven, because men like me don't want you either, and you would turn us down because we aren't 6'4... never mind the fact if I say hello to American, Canadian, and European women its out of politeness, not interest. Y'all have made yourselves as uninteresting and repulsive as possible. So its no wonder all you find are the dregs. The rest of us simply avoid you. The only sports I watch are my friends who live farther south than I do, going out and racing other friends. Yeah I spend some time playing PC games in the evening, rather than watching TV, because its time spent with friends doing fun things together that require teamwork, communication, and capabilities. Things that make men bond with each other. Yeah, my name describes me for the most part, but the reason I am a bit large is because I haven't been able to run since 2004, my last deployment made sure of it. Also because the first war in 1990 to '91 packed a whole mess of muscle on me. Ya know, sacrificing for the good of others... so toxic and lazy. I'm good not having one of you in my wallet, because it means I can invest more into my vintage muscle cars that are vastly less expensive, and several orders of magnitude more enjoyable and reliable than you are. Take it from a man who has nearly gone completely around the planet, lived in the societies and cultures on four continents... western women cannot compete with Asian, African, and South American women. I have yet to find a woman overseas who is heavier than 140lbs... its a challenge to find one in the US who is under that.

  531.  @tufelhunden5795  ex wives seem to always do that, both of mine did. They claimed I did everything they actually did, and worse stuff as well. I sat in jail for things I did not do, just because they said I did. The first turned my oldest against me, telling her I only cared about money, didn't care about her, and didn't want to see her. My daughter figured out her mom was lying to her after she came to visit me after not seeing me for more than a couple hours for 8 years. Now my kid is mad at me for getting with her mom instead of someone else so she isn't talking to me. However... my oldest has a job she has been working at for 8 years, she is moving up, got a raise, and just bought a 2017 Subaru. The first car she ever bought. She learned how to handle money from me, how to work and get ahead in life also from me. Despite being bipolar like her mom (I had no idea what it was 30 years ago when my kid was born) she is working her life like an adult. She honestly doesn't need me to help her, and that makes me damn proud of her. Its sad what her mother has done though, she ruined the lives of my two kids, and my life as well. Not to benefit herself, but out of pure capriciousness and spite. She blames me for everything she did wrong, and we've been divorced since 2001. I've been paid up on support and everything since 2015 and I did not owe anything, they actually owe me. Now, Nebraska (where I grew up and where she lives) is coming after me for more money for something. I have no idea what it is, but I know through the grapevine there is a bench warrant for me, so they are trying something.

  532.  @tonytaylor5461  I don't have much good to say about VA shrinks, but many of them definitely blame the man for everything. Works really great for guys dealing with PTSD. The one they gave me who came from family services displayed happiness and glee when my ex said she had started talking to a guy with one of those m3th things going on. Like yay, glad you can get away from this horrible veteran. I called her on it and walked out. She had no idea that most of us with PTSD can read body language extremely well, and she was excited for my ex. Gee thanks for encouraging her to make a huge mistake in her life and rip all my support from me. Only ever had one shrink that was beneficial, he was an outside contractor to the VA before 2009 when Barry moved it all in house and gave us C average types.

  533.  @almightysauerkraut6165  its funny you mention that... the Arab woman is. If I had not had to take my dog along to pick her up, she would have gladly cheated on her current husband... he is 81 years old and can't get it up, they married so he could pass along his wealth to her since his wife died and they have no kids. Having my dog in the truck put her off, and she was angry for the entire visit. They are ALL like that, some simply hide it better or realize they have the best man they can possibly get.

  534.  @ZayMTGChopcheesy  funny you say that. Know how I get women to leave when I am tired of her crap, but avoid boiled pets and firebombed vehicles? I slather her in attention, make breakfast for her, I am nice, ask for spicy time and if she gives it I give her the 10 D. She leaves within a week. Every time. How to keep them around a while. Make her earn attention and validation. Give her very little attention, just enough to keep her from acting out. Never ask for spicy time, just start with foreplay because if she is with you she is amenable to spicy fun time with you. They like for things to 'just happen' rather than being asked if you can have permission. They stick around for years as long as they don't have a ring, and spicy time is offered up constantly, every orifice is on the menu. My first wife was a very expensive learning experience. Second wife was confirmation that yes, they are all like that. The same program is running through their pretty little heads, so you can predict what they are going to do once you understand them. If she gets the attention from you without having to put out, you just placed yourself in the friend zone. At that point, its best to just ghost them. They crave attention like junkie, so that is what you need to wield to keep them around and acting right.

  535. I'm going to leave this here. It is not my quote, but it is how I have lived my life for the most part up until I was 44. At which point, this became my mantra. That was ten years ago, I am 54 today: "How do I deal with setbacks, failures, delays, defeats, or other disasters? I actually have a fairly simple way of dealing with these situations, summed up in one word: “Good.” This is something that one of my direct subordinates, one of the guys who worked for me, a guy who became one of my best friends pointed out. He would pull me aside with some major problem or issue that was going on, and he’d say, “Boss, we’ve got this thing, this situation, and it’s going terribly wrong.” I would look at him and say, “Good.” And finally, one day, he was telling me about something that was going off the rails, and as soon as he finished explaining it to me, he said, “I already know what you’re going to say.” And I asked, “What am I going to say?” And he said, “You’re going to say: ‘Good.’ ” He continued, “That’s what you always say. When Something is wrong or going bad, you just look at me and say, ‘Good.’ ” And I said, “Well. I mean it. Because that is how I operate.” So I explained to him that when things are going bad, there’s going to be some good that will come from it. Oh, the mission got canceled? Good… We can focus on another one. Didn’t get the new high-speed gear we wanted? Good… We can keep it simple. Didn’t get promoted? Good… More time to get better. Didn’t get funded? Good… We own more of the company. Didn’t get the job you wanted? Good… Go out, gain more experience, and build a better resume. Got injured? Good… Needed a break from training. Got tapped out? Good… It’s better to tap out in training than tap out on the street. Got beat? Good… We learned. Unexpected problems? Good… We have to figure out a solutions That’s it. When things are going bad: Don’t get all bummed out, don’t get started, don’t get frustrated. No. Just look at the issue and say: “Good.” Now, I don’t mean to say something trite; I’m not trying to sound like Mr. Smiley Positive Guy. That guy ignores the hard truth. That guy thinks a positive attitude will solve problems. It won’t. But neither will dwelling on the problem. No. Accept reality, but focus on the solution. Take that issue, take that setback, take that problem, and turn it into something good. Go forward. And, if you are part of a team, that attitude will spread throughout. Finally: if you can say the word “good,” then guess what? It means you’re still alive. It means you’re still breathing. And if you’re still breathing, that means you’ve still got some fight left in you. So get up, dust off, reload, recalibrate, re-engage – and go out on the attack.” -Jocko Willink

  539.  @sarahnovella4971  I noticed something in the nearly 40 years I have been getting busy with women. The hotter they are, the less personality they have developed. The less attractive they are, to a certain point where they just hate all men, the more interesting they become, because they have to work for attention rather than it being thrown at them. Hot women are usually terrible in bed. The less attractive, but not huge, women are much better with spicy antics. I got with mostly 5s to 7s, and some really homely women like my second ex wife. I wrongly assumed she was too fugly for any man to be desperate enough, while looking good enough to her to get her to sleep around. Well I took ill with a respiratory injury and that lowered the bar drastically. NONE of you are loyal... Its not in your nature. It only takes one event or thing where you perceive weakness and you jump to the nearest Peg D that looks your direction. I've seen THOUSANDS of women do that. The ones who don't have lucky men who have never had to fight off an illness or something else equally banal and ordinary. On the flip side, the tall good looking men have to put in zero effort because you ladies just throw panties at them. They don't have to develop any sort of game or personality, and from the feedback I have gotten from women, they are like the hot chicks in that they are meh in bed. The men who are actually good for you, are invisible to you, or seen as weak/beneath you. This is coming from a 5'8" muscle bound man who has had between 150 and 200 of you get all kinds of naughty with him. Women shoot for the stars when they have a hard time walking across the street. That delusion is increasing and you all think you deserve the absolute best man, and nothing else will do for you. The ones you find annoying are the ones EVERY chick is chasing, and he doesn't have to do anything to get the attention or the intimate access. You do not see the rest of them. You would see me because of my blue eyes, very masculine facial features, lots of muscle mass, and my deep voice. However due to me not being 6'4" many of you (who are under 5'5" even) decline anything to do with me. Lets say that it is 200 that said yes to being with me, there are a few thousand who said no, and many more thousands around the world that have showed zero interest in me so I ignored them. The really amusing thing to be is how many of you wrongly assume I am a nice guy because I am polite. Men are not the shallow ones, women are, and that is getting more prominent daily. You keep going for the men who are vastly out of your league, they will tap it, but not put a ring on it or stick around for long. The guys you chase will never commit to you, and they treat you like a toy, but that delusion is a ratchet that assumes because that one hot guy hit it, that now you are worthy of only the hottest men. Thats because of one simple thing. Every female on the planet assumes she is the only reason anything is even here.. solipsism is the main feature of the female psyche, and the female in the video bears that out with her assumptions and assertions. You can't see the world any way other than through the pro female lens, where women are the pinnacle of evolution and every one of you is the main character... the reality is that every woman on earth is one of the NPCs, but they think they are more important than they are. Its not their fault, its in their coding that has made humans prolific on earth.

  540.  @doncarlodivargas5497  they want the big party that is all about them. They want all the resources we have and share with them, but they are reticent at best to do anything to our benefit in return for those resources. They want all the benefits of being men, with none of the responsibilities, whilst retaining all the benefits of being female. No.. it is not logical, it is based on feeling, and that changes every second. The best words to describe women is predictable incongruency. Every one of them assumes she is the main character and everything else in the universe is there for her benefit. She is the only 'real' one in her reality. Loyalty, honor, and duty are completely lost on them, as they serve no purpose for women whatsoever, they see those attributes as holding them back and oppressing them. Probably because they believe they are better than men and everyone else, while being incredibly insecure because the only value she has is rooted in her appearance.

  543. I've been rolling with $120 to $200 a week for groceries, but its all fresh fruit and meat, nothing processed, and I cook everything. Included in that is putting some food away in long term storage. I get lots of snow in winter, so I have enough to easily go three months without going into town. My land and home is paid off since 2021, bought it in 2013. I don't need car loans, and I drive cool stuff like a 70 Cuda and 65 GTO. I am building others, I am big into cars so my life is built around the car thing. I cannot stand cities, I drive around them if possible. Give me open fields, trees, lakes, and nature. I will not live in a city. I traveled the world in my 20s and 30s with the USAF. When I wasn't on duty, I was off exploring and getting to know the culture of where I was. Best thing I ever did for myself was meeting people in Asia, Europe, and Africa away from the tourist spots, and 'retiring' to the woods of northern Michigan. I've been to over 40 countries, but only Korea in east Asia. I wanted to check out the other places like Japan, PI, Thailand, but I haven't yet. Get out of the country you were born in, and discover the world, and get out of the cities because they are a trap.

  545. Emotions are nearly worthless to men, the only time they come in to play other than anger/rage, is when wooing females. Forcing men to be like women is a HUGE part of the problem of them adding extra ventilation to their thinkin meat. What the hell do those two males with 9" biceps know about being a masculine man? Of course progr3ssive males fail to understand, they are operating on a feminine mindset and looking at the world through a feminine lens. Its not progression, its regression to a child like state, and thats why they do not want masculine men.

  546. Man.. I did VERY well until I stopped bothering when I was 49. I have better things to do with my time, and I try to be unattractive to keep them away. Living alone is vastly less expensive and I only have just so many years left. Almost 30 years of my life were wasted on them. There are two reasons I am slimming down, first: So I can fit in my drag car better, getting between the roll cage bars is easier when you're in shape. second, for health reasons, I don't want to end up with the sugary cookies n cream blood type. If you want one of them, lift, learn to talk to people comfortably. Earn confidence by doing difficult things. I did... and it works. None of them ever wanted me for money, because I have never looked like I have any.

  547.  @superdave8248  stop thinking they want to make life better for all of us. They have exactly the system they want, and they are very reticent to change it so it is less detrimental to men. Title 4D is taking funds from social security, giving it to the family courts, in either a high percentage or a like amount to what the father is forced to pay in child support. It goes into the retirement for judges and the people who work support enforcement. They have HUGE incentives to make sure men are paying an extraordinary amount of child support. They get paid for ensuring it. They are not going to make it better for men, they are getting theirs and that is all that matters to them. They don't care if the birth rate drops, society collapses, because they got their money for doing evil.

  549.  @Skelstoolbox  I am 54, was in the military for a long time, even though I am 5'8 it was only moderate effort to pick them up. I learned how to tell which ones were interested, then I learned how to talk to them. By the time I was 19 I had some pretty stellar game, and my confidence was huge, just like it is now. I know I can do things, because I have done it many times. Although as I get older, I do them slower, and it hurts more. Two wars, lots of altercations which were not started by me, and around 120 wrestling matches between 8th grade and my second year in the military. I was always muscular after I turned 15. and was benching over 300 before I turned 20. Muscle helps. Most were ready to go within half an hour of meeting me, knowing which ones are interested made it go a lot faster with a decent batting average. I met the first ex the night I turned 24, she asked me how many I had and I could remember 88 before her, she was 89. Then we divorced when I was 32 and I was off to the races again. At any given time I had between 3 and 6 of them I could call to come over and get some. They rotated out and I met new ones. Second ex was somewhere north of 150. My final divorce was ten years ago, and I put another 30 or so under my belt before last year when I essentially stopped talking to them. Blond hair, ice blue eyes, 22" arms, strong jawline, heavy brow, and I have gotten better looking as I got older. Being funny really helps, and I even got some for having good grammar. The last year or so I am showing my age more, but I still get interest from them way too young. They are always smiling at me and looking down and away like they are shy. The deep voice helps a lot, and if I have been yelling or something the day before I am as deep bass as Michael Clarke Duncan was. I am told I smell good, my T really draws them in, even when I don't shower for a day or two.. Its not every woman, not even close to that, but its enough that I notice when they do it. I never thought I looked good, but apparently I did to them. 2 or 3 were exceptionally good looking. Most were 6-7, a huge number of 5s, and sometimes I would nail a large one to break a dry spell. Dry spells came when I would change bases, new country/state, new group of locals, takes some time to learn your way around. The second ex was quite homely, but she was a virgin and seemed to have the right mindset, so I gave her a chance and she screwed it up after 9 years together. These days I don't care what she looks like, if she has kids, or whatever, as long as she doesn't give me any luggage... like herpeghonasphyilades. I don't know the actual number, can't remember them all. I have to think about where I was stationed, what car I was driving, what color they were, what language they spoke, or which phase of my life I was in. 30 to 50 was the highest rate, and most of them were between 18 and 28. I feel far more accomplished about the cars I have built, how fast they are, the things I did in the military, the places I have been a,d the achievements I have attained, females were just a way to sate my ludicrously high drive. Around 38 it finally started to subside, it really sucked having to get some every two days minimum to be able to think clearly, so I found a way to get some. Only two came from bar's or clubs. Most I met when they were at work, through friends, or just walking by and saying Hi. Confidence, muscle, blue eyes, deep voice and game. I am one of the most masculine men you would ever meet, and I don't try to be, because it doesn't matter to me at all. I just am and have things I like to do, like building muscle cars, lifting heavy stuff, building houses, and landscaping. If I need something done, I learn how to do it or buy the equipment I need to do it. Until I was 40 I was looking for one to spend my life with making memories. They just wanted the blue eyed silverback to give them a hard ride for the memories, most were one night stands or a few weeks to two months. 6 or so were somewhat longer, both marriages were 8 and 9 years, respectively. I was surprised to learn most guys have 1 to 3 in their entire lives. I had a drive that needed satiated, that was most of it.

  550.  @chirpinsquirrel8710  I've met guys who could pull a lot more than I could, one is my cousin Chad. Dude is 6'7, well over $150k a year, long hair and looks like the techno viking. All he has to do is say hi, nice shoes.. and he gets some.

  551. ANY TIME they start out with "let me be clear" you can bet there is a specific idea pattern going on in their heads, and it is most definitely NOT family oriented. She started out talking about 'these communities', who she means is the homies in the communitah. They started throwing ebony men out of families in the 60s, because it meant more money for the mom if there was no dad around. They called it section eight, mom gets housing and money, dad gets tossed out. Now they are blaming men for not being around, when they have been taught to not be around, and the moms will deride the dads to the kids. Since the 1980s it has been pushed on the rest of us, but Asians and Latinos have resisted it far better, because to them family is everything. Cause the problem, blame someone else for the problem, keep people depending on the handouts so they keep you in an office you do not deserve. Want to know why men are using the immediate self checkout lane at a rate that is now 8x that of women? You only have to look into if he is dealing with the court system over his kids or assertions without evidence from the chick he is seeing. You will find your answer there. Get rid of the incentives and safety nets that keep people impoverished through generations, and you will see the birth rate increase. You will also see poverty drop precipitously, but they don't want that for the homies. They don't want that for all of us either. They want subservient obedient beings from which they can profit. That doesn't even begin to address the fact that most of the communitahs have the clinics where kids can be kicked out of their first room before they are ready to leave it on their own. What do you have in those parts of town? Long distance hole punch shops, a place to get a 40 or some MD 20/20, and room clearing services. That is the only thing that is zoned in those areas. Its designed to keep a certain demographic from thriving, its been going on for 60 years and its working flawlessly. Everything that comes from alone moms in the communitah is exactly what they want. I am tired of the homies being used like that. I am tired of being eyed with suspicion and derision just because I have blue eyes and light colored hair.

  552. 50/50 even? IT CANNOT HAPPEN. The human race will go extinct. Making men more like women makes them unattractive and undesirable. Making women like men also makes them unattractive and undesirable. We are different for a reason, men and women fit together like gears in a machine. The highs fit into the lows. If we are equal its like having two smooth wheels rather than gears, its very inefficient that way. Females cannot lift what men can lift, they do not have the spatial skills and abilities inherent in men, they do not have the aggressiveness and problem solving inherent in men. That means they cannot do the vast majority of work men do. I worked in a factory back in the 90s. From time to time they would complain about my overtime. When they did I would take a vacation day on Friday and on Monday, when I normally worked Saturday and often Sunday. The backlog of parts when I came in to work on Tuesday would me IMMENSE, visually displaying just how productive I am. It would be six months to a year before they complained about my OT again. Pay me a bit more, or pay five people to do the same amount of work... your choice. I quit that job in 1998, and in 2000 they packed up the entire plant and shipped it to Mexico. My leaving cost them over $400k a month in production, and they were paying me $11.50 an hour. They didn't try to retain their most productive people for some reason. Now, that is how we rectify this issue. We withdraw, take a vacation, we do not play the game they have rigged against us. Its a vacation, not a walk out. Make it hurt, make them beg you to return and do the work. Work for yourself, build your life and yourself, build muscle, build wealth, and increase your knowledge. The more you know and can do, the more valuable you are. If you are not valuable and you check out, it means nothing. the guy who did my job on 3rd shift did so little and was so inept at it, that nobody noticed when he took his two weeks of vacation or simply didn't show up. His effect was minimal. They sure as hell noticed when I was not there, and I made the job look easy. Around 17 minutes LoM talks about the guys who say they checked out when they never were in the game. He is right. If your feed is all this content, and you aren't doing anything to improve your life, then you are doing what the people pushing the wok eness on us want you to do. i.e. Stop existing.

  553. Its real simple for me. I cannot trust them, because at any time they can destroy our lives. The courts ensure I lose everything. I lost two houses and a HUGE amount of money, but the two most valuable things I lost were time with my kids growing up, and the 25 years the first one was living off me to my great detriment. 2001 and 2013, have not dated since. I will not allow anyone into my life ever again. Besides 50 year old cars are more rewarding, fun, and vastly less expensive.

  554.  @pmscalisi  I did so much of that work that my body wore out when I was 35, while deployed to Kuwait. That was 2004... I've done a bit of all the heavy lifting jobs, and quite a bit of technical skilled jobs, like CNC prog/machinist. I'm one of those overly muscled short guys who can pick up and carry things most people can't. we are out there, people simply ignore us for the most part.

  556.  @BoffinGrusky  I've been overseas, starting in 1989 and the last time I was out of the country was 2004. Been around a bit. I can tell you how they are in Europe, both ends of Asia, mid east, Africa, and all over the US. Thailand, Laos, and the Philippines are your best bet. West Africa is second best, but they are willing to do about anything to get out of there, which means you can't trust them as much. Thing is you do not want to bring her back here. I was engaged to an Arab woman in 1990-92, she ended up married to a German, got divorced after 20 years, and she came to visit me back in August. The 20 years she spent in Germany changed her, she was no longer the pleasant, enjoyable to be around feminine woman I knew. She spent the first two days nagging and berating me like I was her henpecked ex. We were friends for 30 years, and in one morning she managed to throw all of that away. The west is the problem, because it has been infiltrated and subverted. That has made our women undesirable because of their attitudes and profound lack of loyalty.

  557. Ya know something, YT hiding my comments and making them be approved by the channel gives me an interesting benefit. The creators see what I say, even if the people yt is trying to keep in the dark do not. Its like a way to ensure I can reply to people making videos and they see it.

  558. We don't need emotions other than anger, laughter, and sometimes sadness to deal with other men. I felt profound sadness as I watched the rear window come out of the 64 LeMans I was towing home, and seeing it shatter on the pavement. I felt anger at myself for not pulling it out of the car. I laugh at people who think men need to show emotions like females do... Females are RULED by emotions, men are not, because men have things to do.

  559. You can blame rich people all you want, you can envy/resent them and decry how you aren't rich too, and you can blame the birth rates on them as well if you are trying to push an agenda. How much YOU have is irrelevant to how much I have, as long as you and I have enough. Why don't we have jobs that pay as well? The manufacturing base has been sent to other countries. The workforce was doubled when split tails began competing for the leftover Joe jobs and busy work in offices. Every administration since Wilson has been working diligently to render all of us as rent paying serfs... the cheeto seems to be trying to fix that though. What did rich people do previously? Rockefeller pushed amendments through that outlawed the competition for gasoline (ethanol) to make himself even richer. Hearst pushed to outlaw cannabis so he could eliminate hemp as a competitor. Gates has been trying to make everyone dependent on his OS, and now he is pushing 'health' things which will cost us dearly whilst providing no benefit, and probably harm everyone. Gates is among those who think there are too many people. Now we have two billionaires changing things to benefit all of us. One is building and catching reusable rockets and silly fast EVs, and invested heavily to ensure we could speak freely online. The other has risked his life and being in office has cost him millions if not billions he could have made otherwise. Both are now maligned and loathed by those who listen to the people trying to make us all serfs. The video you're featuring is doing the same, trying to make you resent rich people because you aren't one of them. Its on the same side as Rockefeller, Hearst, Gates, and many others who seek to own everything. WEALTH IS NOT A ZERO SUM GAME!!! You can make your own by producing something valuable that people want. Just because Musk has a lot of it doesn't mean you can't have a lot either, he does things the rest of us don't do... like taking a huge risk and investing in companies that he can turn around and make profitable. He is working on benefitting all of us. If you are working for min wage it means you have no skills or knowledge. If you are broke despite making what should be enough money, you are living beyond your means. Wealth is built over time for most of us, thats why we have it when we are older rather than younger. You have to build on what you have, which includes skills, knowledge, abilities, and the risks you take. Stop complaining that wealthy people have money and you don't. GO MAKE YOUR OWN. There is no damn reason why they should give you anything for which you have not worked and earned. We start were we start, and you go from there. We do not start on equal footing and NEVR will. The idea that it all has to be equal is abhorrent lunacy, its what was running Romania and other eastern European countries from 1945 to 1992. That entire ideology is built on envy, resentment, and a sense of entitlement despite having done nothing. Its like that broke skinny kid demanding to marry the hottest actress in the world, and getting mad when it doesn't happen, then resenting everyone and envying the men who get to smash. Get yours, don't concern yourself with what others have, as long as they have enough. Now... get off my lawn.

  560. I'm 55, USAF vet, traveled the world, the only time anyone ever took a shot at me was in the desert (Iraq, Kuwait, somewhere there) in 1991. How can Europe have inexpensive/free health care and all the other benefits? Its easy when they DON'T NEED A MILITARY BECAUSE THE USA DOES IT FOR THEM! Dubai was nice in 1991 when I went there on leave, long story. Why does the US have high costs for health and education? Because of guv involvement. Compulsory insurance like for vehicles increases costs, and insurance colluding with medical companies makes things hideously expensive. Guaranteed loans for school floods universities with money and they find ways to spend it, because its impossible for people to get out of them. I have to deal with the VA, and if you want to know what it would be like when DC runs everything like they do in Europe, talk to one of us disabled vets. Every one of the people in the video came from big cities like NYC and LA. Not a single one was what you would call highly capable and the 'males' are not masculine. They're all timid and afraid because they've been told they need to be. Get out of the blue 'd' run areas and the USA is a wonderful place to live. I don't lock my doors, I leave the keys in my cars, and if I want to put holes in paper I can do it in my yard and nobody freaks out about it. Nobody breaks in, steals from me, or anything else, and as long as I avoid drunken college kids who're trying to look tough, nobody starts anything with me. I carry, but not because I am afraid of the people who live here or because I think I am going to get into some kind of high speed projectile exchange, it just doesn't happen. I have two blue cities I have to drive through to get back to Nebraska where one of my kid's live and some of my cars still are, so I have 300 rounds and a long distance scary hole puncher in my truck because I have to go through them. I will not be like Reginald Denny when the d's running the place decide to allow riots and I happen to get stuck in one while driving through.

  561.  @asparrow9876  not sure if this comment will get hidden or not. The big difference between the 50s and now is back then men advanced by merit. These days men are held back and merit doesn't freakin matter. The L's and D's want to make us all dependent on them, and competent capable men are not going to accept dependency on some authority figure. Thats why they are desperately trying to weaken men, it takes years of forcing them to be like females for it to happen. Some are inherently weak, so they take to it easily.. and they wear eye shadow and complain that others have things they want to have. Others are defiant and will never acquiesce (yours truly is like that). Then you have the ones who will not submit, but don't know how to get around or past the roadblocks thrown in their path... those are the guys who evict themselves from their meat suits. The reason we have so many problems is not capitalism or anything like that. Its the negative influence of the L's undermining everything from the family to education and manufacturing.

  562. So you think letting some global gov tell you where you can go, what you can do, and what you can eat, is preferable? You are going along with what the plan to enslave us is, and completely missing the source of problems with females. Its breathtakingly amusing.

  563.  @oakinwol  you're right, these guys don't know. Those of us who do know how relationships are supposed to work, and how women destroy them, are not dating or even asking women out, many of us don't even speak to them. I am not that far along, except military women, because saying hello to one and hi to another nearly cost me a stripe. However these guys are spot on 100% correct about one thing, women are not to be trusted.

  565.  @someoneelse9059  My divorce rate is 100%, it would be zero if I had never been daft enough to sign the paper. My life would have been a lot less stressful, and probably vastly more successful too. Since my kids were poisoned against me by their mother, its like I never had any except for the years I lost with them paining me decades later.

  567. "Men have been running the country for thousands of years, so its from their perspective." So many things wrong with that statement. Lets ignore the time problem, and focus on what the world would be like if women ran things.. mud huts at best, but probably living in caves. The Survivor TV show displayed how that works out VERY well.

  568.  @jordanluenz9263  I'm a wrestler, have yet to meet a boxer who could last more than ten seconds against me. someone with BJJ training, does much better. For us short guys, 17" arms and benching around 300 is where we get the most attention. As big as I am now, its a lot less.

  569. Do you really have kids if you never get to see them, are not allowed to be any influence in their lives, and all you get to do is give their mother most of your income while she poisons them against you? It doesn't feel like you have kids when its like that. Trust me.

  571.  @ROGGOAT07  I never took gold in a wrestling tournament, lots of 3rd place medals. I was 167lbs, the toughest weight class in Nebraska and Iowa, you had to be strong like the 185 and heavy, but quick like the small guys. I was close to the strongest, but not the fastest, and 5'7 to 5'9 guys dominated the weight class. Most matches I lost were by 1 or 2 points, I didn't get pinned, but most of my wins were pins. I'm not a champion.. Also I went rounds in bracket racing, but never won the whole race. That is more about skill and consistency than physical strength. Drag racing is a lot of fun, and bracket racing takes most of the fun out of it, but its still fun. The USAF made me the muscle bound freak I am. They nearly worked me to expiration in the two largest airlifts in world history.. yay me... 15" arms before the 1990 war, 22" after. Zero time spent in a gym. but I was on the flightline every night without a day off for more than six months. Looking back it kinda sucked to be me.

  572.  @MDE_never_dies  Its funny that his name is actually Chad. He married a VERY hot chick and had four kids with her, she stayed thin and at 34 she was still smokin.. Long dark hair, big ol rack, trim waist.. but the wall was approaching fast. She left him when she was 34 to hook up with a 60 year old Doctor she met online, dude was bald, 40lbs overweight, and same height as her. Chad is a farmer, he not only makes bank, he has $200k in the account he runs the farm on, just sitting there for expenses. Thankfully she didn't take any of his land or make him sell it, but she chose very poorly. Her Dr hit it for a couple years, and moved on to another younger one. Chad went to Ukraine and brought back a 28 year old 5'4 mega hotty. I surprised her at my dad's funeral by talking to her in Russian. I learned it in Korea, with all the Russian juicys that were there at the time. Chad doesn't know any of it, so it was fun making him wonder what I was saying to her. I'm not quite conversational in Russian or German, but I can get around there if I need to. I told him he was daft for getting married again, because he can pull any tail he wants, catch and release style. We will see how it goes when she gets her green card. She might stay with him, who knows. I have game and muscle, thats it really. Couple that with the ability to read nonverbal communication ie body language, and I was able to pull lots of them. I am still awed at the Russian speaking women, even the homely ones are incredibly good looking and ultra feminine. However you have to be a strong willed man to have one of them, because they will test you with fitness tests that make US females look tame. They will lose all respect for you at the slightest sign of weakness. My suggestion for average guys is Thailand or the PI. Thai women are usually smokin hot, big racks on tiny chicks is common. Let me tell ya, they can cook too.. Arab women are good if you can manage to meet and marry one, its nearly impossible to do for a pale dude from the US. Had one of them too, she was amazing, we are still friends 32 years after her mother called off our engagement. Long story...

  573. Its difficult to trust them when the majority of women who want you are married or have boyfriends. Having them facetime their boyfriend while riding me, trying not to laugh or cough, but making her roll her eyes back a little. Watching them text their guy as I'm behind her, telling him how much she loves him and wants to see him later that night... I was looking for the long term thing, family, memories together, and improving our lives and that of our kids. I was NOT looking to have 150 to 200 of them open up for me. That kinda happened, because I was always looking for one to be with me on my life journey. Didn't have the internet 35 years ago, didn't have anyone telling us all this stuff until ten years ago. You guys get the benefit from us old guys who learned all this the hard way. What the guy with the clipboard says is exactly right. Apparently for 30 years of my life I was a 7-8, surprising for a 5'8" guy without much money. It was relatively easy for me to get women, but very few of them wanted to keep me around for any length of time. I was the 'fun' man, checking off boxes for them, muscles, uniform, bad boy, etc. The gray blue eyes and deep voice really helped too. In my 30s the hotness of what I could get jumped up by a lot. In my 40s it went up again. I was getting 20 somethings all the time in my 40s, and I had a soft harem of 5 to 8 I could call up and get with. The 2.5 years between my LTRs/marriages I had that going on and before I got married to some extent. Having some smoking hot one eyeing me as I walked around with my daughter when she was a teenager was a new thing for me in my mid 30s. My kid is same height as I am, and got a rack from her mom, long blond hair, so everyone thought she was with me. The 40+ crowd of females gives me dirty looks when I am out with my kid, I smile back at them, they could have had a kid this cute too... if I was the father. heh... I was surprised by it to be honest, since everyone said men over 40 are unwanted. Now I am 54, I try to NOT be attractive to women by keeping my belly, but now I need to get rid of it so I can fit between the bars of the roll cage in my drag car. That and the blood pressure and how much my feet hurt after standing/walking just needs to go away. Still get 20 somethings flirting and hittin on me, the 30 somethings are looking for a wallet to plunder and they can tell I am not that guy, then the 40 somethings and up smile at me in public and hope I will talk to them, judging by their body language. Then they see I am wearing the clothes in which I work on my cars, oil stained, ripped up a bit, and they assume I am broke. The $300 redwing boots are completely overlooked by most of them. Then if its summer they see me get in the 1970 Cuda or 1965 GTO and I bet they wonder what the hell is going on. My winter beater 2000 Silverado is the perfect disguise. Its maroon with a silver bed, because the maroon bed rusted away and I put on another one. Its beat, rusty, and loud. Runs great with 196k on it. They don't see the other 25 Pontiac muscle cars I own, the 3 vintage Fords (two mustangs and a Cougar), and the vintage trucks, like the 1950 chevy, and 76 and 84 C10s. If I hook up with one, I lose time and money I could be investing in my vehicles. Can't be having that, I need to get things done before I reach my expiration date. Can't trust them as far as I can throw them. I have been the side guy far too often so I know better. However, I really enjoy getting busy, and when I get a hot one I want to keep doing it with her. Can't trust myself sometimes, I will drop what I am doing and go get some, its a lot of fun when you're 50 and nailing some chick 3 years younger than your 27 year old daughter. My kid laughs at me, and she sees how women react to me when she is with me somewhere. The strange thing is I never have and still do not think of myself as attractive. Yet here I am gray and pudgy with lots of muscle being obscured, and I still get attention from them. Its never made sense to me.

  574. Wow.. 55 years, high blood pressure, two major conflicts with high speed lead, lots of rough life... Did not get that particular 'mandated' thing. Seven of my friends who worked for the VA did, six of them had heart failures and are no longer with us. Just had an EKG at the VA last week, still going great and it looks exactly like it did when I was 35 and 45. Despite my name on here, I am quite healthy, eat clean, don't drink or smoke, I have enough problems from all the stuff I was exposed to in the USAF.

  577.  @Tony-lk6sn  what have I done? Well... since you asked and did not bother to click my name to get an idea.. I will inform you. Grew up on a farm in the 70s and 80s, wrestled in high school. When I graduated in 1987 I weighed 170lbs and could bench press 265lbs, I am 5'8" and that strength came from the work I did on the farm. In 1988 I enlisted in the US military, at that point I could bench 330lbs because of the jobs I did, construction, agriculture, etc. In 1990 I was at the base, doing the most work, in the duty section doing the most work, during the airlift for Desert Shield/Storm. Came away from that being able to bench over 500lbs. You could say it was a physically demanding job moving cargo. The 92 budget cuts put me in the civ world again, so I got jobs as a machinist/CNC prog, started a business repairing vehicles on the side. All the factory jobs went to Mexico in the late 90s so my CNC job and the repair customers dried up. I had a wife and two kids with a mortgage at that point. So I enlisted again in 2000. I was deployed to Kuwait in September 2001. Went to Korea in 2002, came back in 2003 to the base doing the entirety of airlift for OIF/OEF, in the duty section doing the most work once again. My 2004 deployment had me loading cargo on planes single handed, 35 years old pushing 2000 to 10,000lb pallets on planes while the air crew stood around and watched. To get an idea, put two F150s bumper to bumper in a parking lot, put them in neutral, and push them from one end to the other all day. That was my job, heavy lifting and lots of math. That 04 trip destroyed both knees, hips, ankles, one shoulder, and one wrist. I live in pain now. Got out in 2005. 2005 to 2013 I spent barely able to walk, then the second wife decided to leave for a real winnar of a guy. Both my wives chose poorly. In September '13 I bought my land, 13 acres of woods, an old hunting camp and started building a home for myself. In 2015 I got a building loan, built my 32x48x12 shop with a 5" concrete floor and lift for my vehicles, and a simple 20x24 shipping container house made from three of them. Cost me a bit over $30k. Yes my crippled ass built my home and shop using the trees I cleared from my land to do it. In 2019 I rebuild my home to its current form, two story with a loft, 1050 sqft. The rebuild cost me $5k initially and yeah I did the work, hired two guys to help me put the roof up. Been finishing the house ever since, its very comfortable in here. What else? Well I take rusty heaps of old muscle cars, and rebuild them into nice daily drivers with lots of power. GTOs and other Pontiacs mainly, but also some others, including trucks. I do everything, paint, body, interior, engines, transmissions, electrical, glass, EVERYTHING. You can see the cars I built by clicking my name on here. You can see the ones I am going to build too, this is what I do for fun. Also I produce ethanol fuel to run my vehicles. Have been working on ways to heat my home for less money as well. I make the fuel from cattails, use methane I produce to heat the boilers and run the stills, so my fuel costs me between ten and forty cents a gallon, and I can run it with high compression and high boost. Its way better than pump gas, makes a ton of power. When I wrestled, 3/4 of my wins were pins, I brutalized kids who got on the mat with me, broke one kid's arm, two kids ribs, and KO'd another. I was not pinned ever in high school, and all my losses were by one or two points save for one. A 4 year state champ who head butted me then got a 5 point move to put him ahead of me in points. He nearly knocked me out, two black eyes, nose bleeding profusely, we plugged my nose and I kept going seeing double and stars. That is the highlights of a relatively rough life, oh and I KO'd my dad with a half power hit on his sternum when I was 16, I'd had enough beatings from him, and he found out the hard way. Nearly ended my older brother that same year, body slammed him three times on the sidewalk and concrete steps of our farmhouse one morning before school. He is the reason I have lived with PTSD since I was 8 or 9. War felt like going home, and I downplayed the military part, leaving a lot out because this is long enough. TL;DR. Two wars, combatsports, build and race muscle cars, built my home, and can lift VERY heavy things as well as do things that require a high intellect. Your turn.

  579.  @Tony-lk6sn  So I enlisted again in 2000. I was deployed to Kuwait in September 2001. Went to Korea in 2002, came back in 2003 to the base doing the entirety of airlift for OIF/OEF, in the duty section doing the most work once again. My 2004 deployment had me loading cargo on planes single handed, 35 years old pushing 2000 to 10,000lb pallets on planes while the air crew stood around and watched. To get an idea, put two F150s bumper to bumper in a parking lot, put them in neutral, and push them from one end to the other all day. That was my job, heavy lifting and lots of math. That 04 trip destroyed both knees, hips, ankles, one shoulder, and one wrist. I live in pain now. Got out in 2005. 2005 to 2013 I spent barely able to walk, then the second wife decided to leave for a real winnar of a guy. Both my wives chose poorly. In September '13 I bought my land, 13 acres of woods, an old hunting camp and started building a home for myself. In 2015 I got a building loan, built my 32x48x12 shop with a 5" concrete floor and lift for my vehicles, and a simple 20x24 shipping container house made from three of them. Cost me a bit over $30k.

  583.  @chuckchan4127  I would really appreciate it if women were held accountable for their actions and bad choices. Doesn't seem like its going to happen any time soon though. They want all the benefits of being a man, along with all the benefits of being female, but with none of the responsibility inherent to either. Society is giving them what they want, and punishing men for what women do. There is what we want, what we thinks should be, and then there is reality.

  584.  @chuckchan4127  thats what I do. I have been pointing out a connection to a certain ideology and the problems we are having, for the last ten to fifteen years, if I mention it or any of its figures from history, my comments are hidden. Before they started hiding me, a few started noticing. Now I am seeing it everywhere. Now it wasn't only me saying it, but that kernel of truth has grown into a tree that grows more every day. They can't silence all of us, and I have found ways around the bots to get my point across, so you are exactly right. Soon they will have to reinvent their nomenclature and change what they call themselves. That ideology has a well deserved stigma and negative reputation associated with it. People are waking up to that fact.

  585.  @ZackSNetwork  I would do rather well in a mad max scenario, because I have to try to have empathy, and I have already survived/endured great hardship. (I can be rather terrifying) Here is why I do not want that type of thing to happen: You spend far too much time defending what you have/produce that you could spend producing it. However there comes a time when the powers that be are taking so much from you that its moot. We are nearing that point now.

  586.  @7fall  in my case, wisdom comes at a hard price, failure, mistakes, shortcomings, and bad choices. If I can help other men avoid the same mistakes I made, then my learning experience was not in vain. My struggle and hardship has a reason, a meaning beyond my own personal enlightenment. A wordy way to say "Do not screw up like I did." You're welcome once again.

  588.  @jchan7910  if its one of those $$$$$$ deployments, like Kuwait City where you get $86 per diem, tax free, hostile fire pay, etc. They go on those deployments, but its safe and they don't do any actual work. That was my last deployment in 2004, we were heavy with them so I ended up loading cargo planes single handed.. only me, pushing hundreds of pallets per night. A pallet can weigh 10,000lbs as a single one and we can string six of them together. I came back broken, but I had a decent bit of cash which was nice considering a year before I was living in my car because of divorce.

  589.  @DB.KOOPER  my man is talking about amenities, city life, and staying in hotels. Thats not the life for me, sounds like its not the life for you either. Living in a city is probably the most depressing thing I have ever done, when I step out my door I am greeted with nature and muscle cars, not thousands of people and either a house next to mine or a hallway in a big building. When women from the city spend the night out here, and they go out on the clear nights and look up, they can't believe how many stars they can see. They can't believe how quiet and peaceful it is. Every so often I can hear a truck on the highway, other than that its peace and quiet... until I start one of the Pontiacs.

  590. You can't expect a bunch of married / never divorced wealthy guys who are older than I am (54) to get it. Young men have no options, no incentives, and no reason to bother with marriage. There is too much risk involved with zero benefit.

  591.  @Scotty_Bo0m  yes, and who is leading, Boring and Klaven. Jeremy is close to my age, Klaven is older. They don't know and won't know until it happens to them, same as Crowder. The older you are when she divorces you, the worse it is, because you won't have enough years of living left to rebuild. They take everything you have built and hand it to her, and you are left with nothing. Its what they did to Robin Williams and many others.

  593. Yeah.. freakin DUH! I've been living with PTSD for nearly 50 years, I deal with it without headmeds, don't crawl in a bottle, or use illicit substances. I continually work on rewiring my mind and its rather difficult, but not impossible. It was inflicted on me, I didn't ask for it, and no its not from mean tweets or mean words. I lived a rough life in hell for many years. Desert Storm and OIF didn't help, but they gave me new fun things to deal with. My brother has more and worse things from OIF/OEF/GWOT. He deals with it and stays busy. Neither of us see ourselves as victims. We don't take the easy way out. We work through things and solve problems. We handle out sh**.

  595. I could go to some other country, sit on the beach all day, and relax. I can't imagine anything more boring other than rotting in a jail cell. My 2001 deployment was like that, nothing to do all day but go to the gym after 9/11. I'd rather build my cars, have fun driving them, and go drag racing. Whenever I am not in the shop wrenching or welding, I think of all the stuff I could be getting done in the shop. No female intimidates me, I am very adept at social interaction, and if I wanted to get some from a 20 something I can. I'm not that interested at 55. The cars and trucks are far more interesting to me. I will not make it to 80. No freakin way with everything I have been exposed to in the military and farming when I was a kid. I'll probably stack up one of my cars and go out that way. I am debt free, own my home/land/shop, and since I don't pay income or property taxes, I have the equivalent of near $100k income, so I could live VERY well in the PI or Eastern Europe. I'd rather take rusty junk and turn it into a fun driver.

I had to learn the hard way, there was no internet until I was living with the one that would eventually be my second wife. We divorced in 2013, near the start of men talking about this stuff. The old men used to mentor the young ones, that stopped with my parents generation. We need to bring it back.

  601.  @krispypriest5116  I'm almost 55, a few weeks away. I have zero plans to be in a rest home, chances are I will not live that long anyway with my military time and all the things I have been exposed to. Been intentionally single for 11 years. Was seeing one for a while 2014-2018, but she knew there would be no commitment from me. Still good friends with her though, she earned it. Had one a bit older than us hit on me yesterday, she made it plainly obvious what she wanted. Something about a 60yro with that 16 packs a day gravel voice and leathery skin, just doesn't do it for me, even if she is thin and seemed to have a nice shape to her. I was minding my business and she came up and started talking to me, they are getting some of that desperation going on... Its really funny because I was wearing my work pants, tan carpenters with oil and grease stains from working on my cars. Driving my very rusty 24 year old winter beater with a heater 4x4. The cab is maroon and box is silver because the old box rusted away. You'd never look at me and think "now that guy is well off." I was doing laundry because I haven't gotten my off grid water system set up yet. Maybe June or July I will do it. How sad does it have to be for them to want me, a dude who looks like he lives in a two story burrito bag? There is no way she knows anything about me, that I own a few dozen old muscle cars and trucks, own land, have no debt, and have been retired since I was 35... Sure its retired because of my 2004 deployment, but still.. its passive income and I can do whatever I want with my day. Life is great without them in it.

I live out in the woods to get away from the smugly ignorant... also its cheaper by a wide margin, we don't have HOAs and other nonsense, and nobody is gonna tell me my shop has to be smaller than my house. the bonus is I can grow enough food for me and a dozen other people easily, along with making fuel for all our vehicles, heating our homes while making high quality topsoil. Urban people have no idea how to survive without a store on the corner. They're dependent on the system, they're owned.

  606. Take it from a Gen X old guy who has been screwed constantly by the boomers. Its the young people who keep wanting the corrupt ones in offices. They offer you free stuff, and you believe them, not realizing they are turning you into a source of profit for them. You either give them political power, line their pockets, or both. Women of all ages do the same thing, but men tend to wake up around the time they hit 30... sometimes earlier, like I did at 23. I got screwed in the gulf war, screwed when they kicked me out with the big drawdown in '92, then my factory jobs all went to Mexico because of nafta which was done to us by boomers. There was no financial aid for me, I am too pale and can piss standing up, when I went to school again in 1993. Student loans and my GI Bill were all I had, so I worked a full time job in addition to going to school. At every turn the boomers enacted new things to leech more money out of me. At least I remember life before they ran everything into the ground. You guys are screwed since the day you were born. You aren't taught fine motor skills, so things like surgery and turning a wrench are exceptionally difficult for you. Most of you can't even swing a hammer, all you have done is swipe on a screen. That is no accident, and it is NOT your doing, it is being done to you so you cannot be self sufficient, capable, competent, and provide for yourself like I can. DO NOT SUPPORT THE LEFT, they are the ones doing all of this to you. The GOP is no better for most of them, but the left is hard core determined to enslave all of you.

I have gone somewhere, she hooked up with a spineless wimp with no ambition, but he obeys her like a good little boy. She chose poorly.

  608.  @_Arugula_Salad_  I went from the man who could move, lift, or do anything, to one who couldn't walk without excruciating pain... similar to you. It takes a bit of time to get beyond it, but you have to. So this is our life now, we need to find things we can do to alleviate the pain without putting us in a coma, and still feel productive. Without feeling like we are doing something useful, we don't really feel like a man, at least I don't. I need to feel and be capable, or it really wears on me. I made ways around my physical and mental limitations, found a mix of supplements and meds that help with the inflammation that makes everything hurt. Glucosamine and chondroitin works very well for me. Stopped doing things that cause inflammation, like drinking coffee and sugary stuff. Mainly I don't look back at what I used to be able to do and wish I could still do it. Rather I look forward at what I am going to do, and I understand I am going to end up doing it over a much longer period of time than I used to. My thing is building 60s and 70s vintage muscle cars and trucks. I can get around my limits and still do it, but only about 4 to 5 hours per day, and on 4 maybe 5 days a week. Don't focus on what you can't do, concentrate on what you CAN do, and make the most of that. Takes some getting used to, but you and I still have our appendages, the guys missing stuff have it worse.

Thats why he mentioned the climb ate change thang, all the elftists do that now. Seeing reality means you are soggy knees and a bad no good waste of oxygen that doesn't follow the narrative they demand you accept. Sure, the young guys have a prawn problem, but ya know what? They really don't have an alternative because they have been shut out of the market.. unless they are 6'4" with a six pack and two helicopters, because that is wat ever average split tail thinks they deserve. Men and boys aren't really the problem, we tend to find solutions to things, and if we can't get any, we take matters in hand. The problem is WHY they can't get any.... Even when they get a match or approach for digits, they get ghosted and ignored. Its not the guys doing that. Its not men milking others for attention and validation.

  613. Men make friends differently than when we are boys. Your friends will come from your interests and activities. The vast majority of my friends came from me building and racing cars. A few are from the military, and a handful are from long distance hole punches or RC flying. The friends I have are mostly gearheads and drag racers. If your thing is video games, all your friends will be online. You need something in the real world. Something tangible. I have ONE friend I can always depend on, and we have been friends since 1985, we met when I was 16. I got to be friends with his dad, who was one of my science teachers, I was the only student of his to attend the funeral. They are big into 59 Chevys. That friend lives 1000 miles away, but I can reach him any time. My life has been rough to say the least. I live alone in the woods where I build my cars. That is by choice. I am in a completely different direction from most of the gearheads around here, so they don't come out here, but we get together and work on stuff at their shops, and talk at shows/races. Be careful doing for others, you want friends that give back, that are reciprocal and it doesn't matter to either of you who has done more. You're always there, always dependable. If you do too much for others, they will come to expect it and will not reciprocate, you won't be friends long and they wont respect you. If you want friends, you have to put yourself out there, get people to talk about themselves, and they will like you more. Having something in common will make the people you meet more interesting. Just so ya know, drag racers are pretty cool, rarely judge anyone, and they will help you out even when you're racing against them. I've helped lots of guys go faster, sometimes even faster than my cars are. You could do worse for a friend group, and you don't need a fast car to be included. You can bracket race anything, even mom's minivan.

  614.  @TheSuperappelflap  my large and rotund female friend who does the seats in my vehicles and helps out around here moving the non running ones, says women are opting out of marriage too.. So the other day I explained to her that over 30 they can opt out all they want, its not like they have much of a choice anyway since they are 'practice' at best. What do we want with someone who cannot give us kids and a family that looks like the Crypt Keeper and has a blown out whistlesock that you need to rub the side to feel anything? Most of them have their own F'k trophies from various Chads, so they are even less desirable. If they screw up and divorce at 30 like both my ex wives did, they will end up alone, unwanted, and living in poverty for the majority of their lives... which is what is happening to my ex's, the first is 49 the second is 41 and the years have not been kind. One woman I was seeing for a while between 2015 and 2018 makes bank, but she will be alone soon. She is 50, she is lots of fun and a good person, but that won't matter. So ya know I am 54 and all of them are practice to me.

  615.  @TheSuperappelflap  want to piss off women? Explain to them that men are judged by their competence, capability, knowledge, and how well they can apply those things to achieve. Its merit based for men. Women are judged on how they look, their youth, and fertility. Its not merit based at all, its entirely subjective. She can be a horrible, reprehensible person who is inept at everything, with a pretty face and get massive attention. Thats why they wear makeup, dye their hair, and squish themselves into tight clothing, and men largely don't care how they look. The amusing thing is women think that what they are attracted to will be attractive to men. So they get a job, degrees, house, car, and then at 40 they wonder why men don't care and ignore them. They will claim we are intimidated by their 'power' when the reality is if she owns the house, she can tell us to leave and she will get to keep it in the divorce. If we own the house, the police will force us to leave and she will keep it in the divorce. Women look down on men who earn less than they do, its not like men get to see any of the money she makes, but she feels entitled to everything he earns. I am thrilled to have been born male, because merit is something you can earn, and you don't have to be overly concerned with what others think of you. Women are dependent on attention and validation, and my god they are terrified of rejection as a result.

  616. The wrong ones... ROFL. They are ALL the 'wrong' ones. Doesn't matter how hot they are either, they cannot be trusted. I've had the hot ones, like super hot Russians, others that could be on magazine covers, and homely ones, small to large, young to old. All over Europe, the USA, and Asia, a handful from Africa too. To be fair, I went for the ones who showed interest in me. So it could be the ones who are attracted to me are the horrible ones. I learned early in life, around age 14, that its a waste of time talking to the ones who aren't showing interest. Yes I learned that early to tell what interest and attraction look like, what they do and how they act. I do not pick them up in bars, only pulled two in bars, its not my thing. I stopped going to bars 30 years ago because its just a waste of time and money. About guys being able to pull hotties, yeah you can do it if you really want to.. I am inclined to avoid them, but if you want to find out for yourself, you can. I am 5'8" and have never had money. I have blue eyes, a deep voice, lots of muscle (I make Bo look tiny) and a dominant mentality/demeanor going for me, but I still had to learn to talk to and read interest on them. I got over the butterflies and nervousness before I turned 16 by asking every one of them in high school to marry me.. and they all said no, I got used to hearing them say 'no' and saying completely outrageous things to them. Rejection doesn't affect me as a result, it saves me time when I want some tuna. After two divorces, I don't want them for anything more than an 0 face now.

  617.  @the-eq5vh  yeah. I have always been someone who does things that are silly, nonsensical, and I try to make people laugh. When you have a rough life growing up, you tend to do that. The added benefit to me asking them to marry me was the complete removal of any negative aspect of rejection. I've done lots of things like that, learning about people, how they interact with others, the reactions they have to things, I wanted to know how people function and think. I wanted to know because I was getting beaten nearly every day for over ten years, and I had a VERY high drive so getting some was a means to an end. Its difficult to think about things when your brain gets a fog from having a drive like that, and no way to get rid of the fog. Took me a long time to realize that women are pretty much all not trustworthy. I was 35 or so when it dawned on me that all of them are running the same basic program. I still like and appreciate them, but there is no way I can ever trust them. Its not like I trust males without years of earning it either.

  618. This is hilarious. Western chicks are so delusional and insecure. I don't need girls. Sure as hell don't need western girls, so they can live alone in boxed wine and cat land... 40 to 80 is a long time. I'm 53, heavily muscled, debt free, own 13 acres of woodland, built my house and shop, veteran, have been 'retired' since I was 36, yeah I am broken but you can't really tell unless I let you see it. I build and drive vintage muscle cars and old trucks. My summer daily drivers are a 1965 GTO with a 550hp/600ftlb 455 in it, and a bright freakin eye searing green 1970 Cuda with a 340. I'm building a 69 and 70 GTOs, 72 Cutlass, 71 Mustang fastback, 76 and 80 C10 short box pickups, and others. The 68 LeMans is going to be a fast sleeper street/strip drag and drive event ride. Way back in 1990 I was engaged to an Arab girl from Dubai. My military boss screwed me over when I was supposed to fly down there and marry her. Ended up married to two girls from the US. HUGE mistake. Twice divorced, kicked the second one out in 2013, she got everything but some rusty old cars and my income. So I built my life over again since 2013. I do not date anymore. Not interested in US females, and rather than going overseas (where I did VERY well when I was stationed in and traveled to Europe, east, west and central Asia, and Africa) I prefer to stay here and build my vehicles and drive them. Tons of fun with Russian speaking girls, and Asian girls really like me, must be the blue eyes and I used to have blond hair before I went gray. No I don't dye my hair, I earned this gray. Who wants a combative, demanding, controlling, bitc4y, complaining, unfaithful, obnoxious, Cant Understand Normal Thinker? Not me. I have had the foreign girl experience and it was pretty damn good. My advice if you want to go to another country to get a girl is this: 1. Learn the language of the country you're going to, read and write it if possible 2. DO NOT BRING HER BACK HERE. 3. They will only respect you if you're dominant and do not let them walk over or control you. 4. Don't be a controlling prick, you need to be the confident leader or they will react the same way any girl reacts, ie. poorly. 5. Eastern Europe is hard mode, those girls REQUIRE a strong willed man. Asia and Africa are much easier. South America I hear is good in places but I have not bet yet.

  619. It depends on the women, but drag racing is a place where they aren't showing skin to get attention. A different kind of woman drag races than one who chases social clout. Alex Taylor has a FAST car, 7 second quarter miles, her dad built it for her a couple years ago. She is classy, even if she is one of those always happy 'bouncy' types. Then we have Miss Midnight Maverick, she is almost always wearing yoga pants, but thats about the extent of her "Look at MEEE!" and her husband/boyfriend who races with her is always using her posterior for thumbnails. The drag and drive events are brutal, you race your car then drive it a few hundred miles to the next track. Its impossible for them to keep up their hair, makeup, and whatever else, so you get to see them how they really are. Sick Week, Ricky Mountain Race Week, and Drag Week are some of the bigger ones. Its a lot of work and minimal sleep, the faster your car is the harder it is to do it. Alex does that and she has a car that requires lots of work. In the 90s when I was bracket racing there was a guy with a 66 Chevelle, about half a second faster than my car, cool guy. He had his gf/wife there helping him, we all pushed our cars through the staging lanes so they didn't over heat and to save fuel. Well she would be behind his car pushing it, and she always wore these cut off jeans that when she bent over to push the car, you could see EVERYTHING. My reaction times were always terrible when I was in the lanes behind them. Other than her, its rare that a woman who is actually in the racing part is doing the 'look at meee' thing. Just so happens that drag racing is probably the only sport where women can compete with men on an equal field. My 26 year old daughter wants to do it, so I am building a ride for her. Something she can drive around and race on the weekends since there is a track on the outskirts of the town where she lives. Its a 1984 C20 on a C10 short box frame, I figure a truck is better for her than a car, and I have the truck sitting here anyway. We don't mind females in drag racing, you get a certain mindset that doesn't lack the idea of merit. Win or lose, every race depends on your driving in bracket races. A 13 second car can race a 9 second car in brackets, and the 13 second car can win. The slower car gets a head start, and the faster car has to catch them. It evens out the $$$ disparity so you can go racing with grandma's Buick or with whatever you put together. The faster or more expensive car doesn't always win. These attention seeking types aren't going to be drag racing, its a merit based sport and the clocks don't lie. Get there first and you win. I go to the gym when nobody else is around when I want to work out. The last twenty years all I want is cardio, haven't been able to run since 2004. Injuries from my last deployment prevent me from ever running again. Have had too much muscle for 30 years, I am strong enough, but I avoid crowds and want to be there alone, it helps with the PTSD. I get lots of women looking at me, even with my belly. Its rare I get the disgusted look that the bug sandwich guys get, it happens, but usually the ones who have no interest ignore me completely. Fine by me. So far this filming thing is not happening at the small gym I go to, at least not when I am around. I also go there to take a shower, since I don't have running water at my house yet. I am still building my bathroom, waiting on warm weather now. The only time I go during the day is when I am headed in for lumber or groceries and stop to grab a shower on the way in.

  620. They can't handle rejection, and they think men are equally impacted by being rejected. They can't comprehend that everyone else in the world is not just like they are, living life on easy mode. The huge ones have an idea what its like to be an average guy, but they can still get 300 messages a day. Rejection is our state of being, we get used to it early in life. Thats why they are so up in arms about men who aren't trying to date, or are leaving the country, because those guys are rejecting them entirely. I did quite well in my youth, and I can still do surprisingly good in my 50s. I am not average in any way other than height, I am 5'8". Thing is, even if you can get them like I did and can, its not worth the effort, they are a burdensome expense.

  623. I'm polite in public, If they speak to me I reply, and I am cordial. Looking like a silverback gorilla means I have to be polite... or the sheriff calls me later and tells me I can't go to that store anymore. They usually smile when they make eye contact, I do not smile back. If one of them is ahead of me in the check out line, looks back and appears afraid, I will say something to put her at ease and let her know I am not interested in doing anything harmful. Usually I make them laugh. Its really amusing when they see me walk out to my shiny 65 GTO or 70 Cuda, and put my stuff in and I don't acknowledge them. Its incongruent with how I dress, often I'm wearing the clothes I work in, building cars, welding, etc. Lots of my stuff comes from Tractor Supply and Menards. The tell is the $300 redwing work boots they seem to miss. Those are the only shoes that hold up more than a year. In summer '24 I will be driving more than just those two. They'd never suspect that I have more than just the one they see me drive. Its been years since I asked anyone out. I've offered to be friends, and being my friend is beneficial to them, but they think they are so much better than I am. Its most amusing... I have one female friend who is into cars, she has a 67 Mustang and she likes women. We help her out with it, and she is fun to hang out and talk to. She is like one of the guys, she is featured in one of my shorts no less. Female friends are ok with me, but I am done with romantic interests.

  625.  @phoenixtoash2396  I do not underestimate women, particularly when they have the entire legal system behind them pushing every allegation as if it were written in stone fact despite contrary evidence. As for physical capability, I overestimate them constantly, always being defeated by pickle jars, having to bang them on the counter top a few times to get a pickle. On the bright side, my second ex and one of my female Airmen in the USAF could back up a trailer, so two out of millions. You're not alone in being unable to cook, most women today can't, just like most guys can't fix the vehicle they drive. Most people live in cities where they are insulated from reality, everything is brought to them making them dependent on the system. Its amusing to me how so many people think being unable to do things and not knowing much of anything useful or valuable, is somehow a virtuous trait. The ladies have to tell themselves how strong, capable and independent they are every day... its akin to me saying I am 6'5" I know I am and I deserve to be!

  626.  @thelogicalcaveman9139  imagine if you can, you have invested years of your life building something to share with your spouse, sinking effort into it, often decades are utilized to make this investment, and then it is suddenly ripped from you because she broke the contract. She is rewarded for all your effort, everything is given to her at your expense, and she is the one who caused it, stepped out, filed for divorce, and she takes the kids and keeps you from them all while telling them you don't want them. You have lost those decades, and your future is going to be paying her for her poor choices and betrayal. You have no way out of it, you pay her to get her back blown out by pookie and ray ray. You are kept impoverished as a means of punishing you to reward her, and everything you do to make your life better, is taken from you and given to her. I say imagine if you can, because I seriously doubt you have ever earned or built anything in your life. You strike me as the type who comes along and claims what others have built, then runs it into the ground.

  627.  @faustomora-j5u  its not falling apart, it is taken from them. The childhoods of their kids are stolen from them. everything they struggled to build and invested years or decades into is taken from them and given to the one who betrayed them. They are then forced to support their betrayer for years or decades after while they themselves are kept destitute, unable to prosper, and any increase they earn is whisked away and handed to her as a reward for making exceptionally poor choices in leaving. My second ex was with me for 8 years of the 15 my first wife was soaking up my income as a reward for being unfaithful and mistreating me and my kids. She knew what would happen if she wanted my income or any of my property when she left to be with her soulmate (who took off after 3 years leaving her alone for the last 8). She would have a huge fire to put out and clean up after, with bits of bone and gray stuff splattered all over needing mopped up at her parents house. 50% to 71% of nothing is still nothing, so take nothing and avoid the mess. She could have left me with nothing, existing just to pay her and the first one, but she knew I would not stand for that. I would go out in the most hostile and damaging way possible, none of this alone in some dreary apartment thing. It would be a statement. Thankfully she chose to just screw up her own life and leave mine alone... after having me thrown in jail for something I did not, and could not possibly have done. Carving up her boyfriends truck...

  628. The reason they are so miffed about men going elsewhere, is the fact they are being REJECTED out of hand. They are told "you're not good enough" before they even start, and its worse when its rejection by men they think are beneath them. They need everyone to like them, and cannot handle it when men reject them. I love Filipinos, they have been some of my best friends while I was in the US military. Wonderful people. I'm not overly attracted to Filipino ladies though, Thai, Viet, Japanese, and some Koreans are more my speed. Eastern Europe and west Africa have amazing looking ladies as well. Yeah, I have traveled quite a lot. I never made it to South America, but I have dated Latinas, they can be awesome too. Since I want to build my old cars, I have no plans to go catch tail in other countries. Its super easy for me, the deep voice and blue eyes get me lots of attention... even when I am kinda pudgy. I've lost interest and any 'spicy' activity is more of a maintenance issue, keeping things working and not backed up. That happens when you get in your 40s, and I am in my mid 50s. There are many things that are more fulfilling and enjoyable than having a wallet leech that gets less attractive every day.

Like my TI in basic, he was married 8 times and he admonished us not to marry the first piece of tail we got once we were at our first base. I was out almost two years before I married the first ex. Never dated any military females. They are the lowest quality you will ever find.

  630. @@ConontheBinarian you are the exception. What happened to be is ubiquitous. More often than not, she is vindictive, capricious, and spiteful. Usually it stems from her stepping out and the way they assuage their guilt is to blame the man for everything and be reprehensible towards him. Both of my ex's did exactly that, and several of them I dated did as well. It got to the point that when I was done dating someone because her attitude was terrible or she was acting poorly, I would get super nice, ask her for spicy time, and acquiesce to her on small matters. Within a week she is gone, at most two weeks, and she thinks its her idea so I don't have drama and fabricated assertions level at me with the police. 2018 was the last time I was seeing anyone regularly.

  634. I was in the US military, stationed overseas for most of my time. I learned real quick to go away from bases, get out in the country and immerse myself in their culture. That can be highly dangerous in some places, so you need to be smart about it. You're not going to be picking anyone up in Baghdad or any place like it. Germany was fun 35 years ago, Korea was ok 22 years ago. I never made it to PI or Japan. Regardless, even in the US I had to get away from the base to meet someone. There are certain people who do not reflect the US military in a good light. For instance, Army was not allowed in the pub district in Frankfurt Germany, but USAF was. The Army guys would start fights, bust the place up, and get projectile vomiting drunk, it was so bad they would ask to see our military ID, and the Army guys could not get in. The only Marines in the area were embassy guards, and they do not act that way in public, if at all. Now you have the same thing going on with the civilians, they congregate around certain areas and some do not act right and that shows everyone who looks like them in a bad light. Guilt by association. A funny thing happened to me in Seoul, we were at the COEX mall, where I saw something I never saw anywhere else in the world. A mass of humanity flowing though the building, with a couple inches between them, thousands of people in a tiny space that made New York look sparsely populated and Chicago uninhabited. My friend and I were walking around, I had no money because of the ex wife, and four young ladies spotted us, came over and wanted to get pictures taken with us. They had never met Americans before, wanted to practice some English, and they looked at us like we were Brad Pit in his fightclub years. We talked a bit and they melded back into the endless stream of humanity walking through the mall. Nothing like that ever happened in any other country, Dubai was the closest in 1991, but it was only men who spoke to me while I was there. They always asked the same thing, was I from NYC or LA? I told them I was from a place half way between those two cities, they had no concept that driving across the US would not take several days rather than two hours like driving across UAE. I tried to explain to them its like driving to Belgrade or maybe Moscow from Dubai. Outside the base in Korea were a bunch of clubs and bars, most of which had juicy's working there, scantily clad ladies who would ask you to buy them a juice, and they'd sit and talk to you while they drank it. You had a choice between a $9 juice or a $12 one. This was not the place to find a wife, but to find a willing Russian or Filipina that was down for spicy time, that was the place. Osan AB was the only time I was ever asked out by attractive women, I told them I had no money, and they said they didn't care. Half an hour later it was spicy, they just seemed to like blue eyed German Americans. Germany was an amazing place to be in 1989-91, I got there when I was 19 and nowhere in the world has ever compared to that. Korea was like Disneyland while Frankfurt was like Las Vegas, but far less expensive and infinitely more fun then Vegas.

  637. Bo you mentioned something that clicked with me. You said something like 'if you haven't lived an extreme life' and that must be why I am not lonely despite living alone for the last eleven years. I've lived an interesting life, done lots of things most people never will or even would. I keep people out of my life, they have to earn a place in it. Everyone is welcome to try out for a spot, but it doesn't mean they'll get one. I was married twice, 8 years with both of them. Glad they're gone because they were an expense. I have zero sympathy for people like them, who put work ahead of people, who ripped their kids from their fathers out of capricious spitefulness, and like the 30 something dude who is so milquetoast milk probably curdles in his presence. The best things in life take monumental effort. An easy life is a boring life. My life is getting better, while my health gets worse because I am 55. I look back at my life and its like Forest Gump in that I was there when history happened, did amazing things, but in areas nobody notices or knows about despite being incredibly important. I never did a busy work job, where you push paper around and put cover sheets on the TPS reports. I did the difficult, dangerous, and technical jobs. If I traveled to South America, Antarctica, and Australia, I would have been on every continent. If I traveled between Dubai and Seoul I would have gone completely around the earth. Most people live their entire lives within 200 miles of where they were born. I've been 10,000 miles from my birthplace, and currently live 1000 miles from there, out in the woods. There are too many fun things to do to sit around feeling sorry about being alone, other people tend to muck up my plans. Once in a while i need someone to help me move a non running vehicle or put a roof on, but otherwise I'm good alone. I prefer it and have for some time. When enough people in your life harm you, being alone is a wonderful thing. Its peaceful and with far less stress.

  638. They can't handle rejection, and thats what the bluebook guys are doing. I had a VERY good time overseas, 89-91 in Frankfurt West Germany, no shortage off base. Actually got engaged to an Arab from Dubai and traveled there 3 times to meet her family. Long story as to why it didn't happen, but it wasn't her nor my fault. Korea 2002-2003, the Russians and Koreans really liked me, Filipinos REALLY like me, with my blue eyes and light hair, Koreans in Seoul treated me like a celebrity. It was most amusing. I'm 5'8" with heavy muscle that I still have all these years later. I've mostly lost interest, and now spicytime is more about maintenance than attraction. Might be different if there were some worthy of the time and effort around here. Building cars is a lot cheaper and vastly more rewarding.

  639. Great advice on this one. I've had my purpose since I was 13. Everything I have done outside that purpose was in support of it, other than starting a family 30 years ago. To the young guys.. DO NOT GIVE UP. The only person you should impress is yourself. Your tombstone will have a start and end date on it, the space between those dates is the important part. Make it a life worth living, take some risks, get out of that comfortable spot and explore the world. Don't get hung up on stuff, you need some things, but stuff should not be your focus. I have a bunch of muscle cars, most of them don't run and need full rebuilds. I enjoy doing the work, because when they are done I can drive them. I have a ton of fun driving them, and knowing my skills, knowledge, and capabilities are why it runs. I upgrade them often, just put a 5 speed in the 65 GTO, the overdrive is nice. Took me two days to put it in, swapping from an auto. ITS NOT THE CAR, its what I DO with it. I have a lot of tools, a shop to work in, and I have a lift in it. I do not work on cars for a living. I could not stand to work on cars to pay bills. I wanted to know all of this FOR ME. FOR MY BENEFIT. Yeah I can make money with it, but I don't need to. I pursue all sorts of things with vehicles, lower elapsed times, better drivability, better mileage, handling, and I like to build things that are both understated and obnoxiously irreverent. Sleepers and fun stuff like hotwheels cars you can drive. That was my purpose in life, and I have done a lot of jobs to pay for parts, tools, the shop, and most importantly the knowledge required to do all of this. The knowledge is the priceless part, I suggest you strive to have as much of that about a wide array of subjects, because the more you know the better your life is, even if you're stuck in a temporary position that seems hopeless. It gets better because YOU make it better. You have all kinds of information right here, I didn't have any of this until I was nearly 40. You have a huge advantage over me, imagine what you can do if you take the time to do it.

  640.  @calvanoni5443  I live the rural life now. Bought my land in 2013 after my second and final divorce. I am done giving away property and money to women who did everything wrong, yet I am punished for it. I found land I could afford, sold some old car parts, my dad gave me a couple grand for the down payment, and I paid it off in 2021. Dad had to help out because he very rarely did anything like that for me, and I was pretty much broke with nothing but rusty old cars after the divorce. Its 13 acres of woods about a mile from Lake Superior. I cleared 3 acres of trees, used some of them to build my shop, and built my house with shipping containers. I can grow food, produce fuel to power my vehicles, and have been working on making electricity. Ethanol fuel is simple, and any vehicle will run on it, even diesels if they are modified correctly. The most expensive and difficult thing to do yourself for sustainability is produce enough electricity in a form you can use it all year. Doing it quietly without burning things in engines, in the north where solar is ineffective for 7 months of the year, and the wind is either calm or gale force, yeah its challenging. There is no way I can live in a city, I had to while in the USAF. It was something I had to endure, living in an apartment with people packed in around you is not my idea of 'living.' Finding land that is suitable for farming that is affordable, now that is difficult to do.

  642.  @jankowalski6691  well, keep in mind she is bipolar, so rational thought was not part of her daily routine. She wanted me to work, and let her have all the money I made to spend as she wanted. This was a VERY bad idea, so I was supremely reluctant to do that. I allowed her to access to the account so she could 'take care of the bills' and what I came home to a month later was a $400 overdraft fee and no utilities on and a notice from the bank about our mortgage not being paid. One week's pay would cover all our monthly bills easily. The overdrafts started the same week I let her spend money, and she hid everything from me saying she handled it. I was working 50 to 70 hours every week, and this was before debit cards were so ubiquitous. I was paid every Friday, and she would have the account overdrawn with bad checks by Tuesday. Bipolar people are notoriously bad with money. 30 years ago when I was with her, I had no idea what bipolar was, or that it even existed. I know now.. Another thing bipolar people do is being incredibly promiscuous. I'm not entirely sure when she started or if she ever was faithful, but she got with her best friend's husband, a guy who was on base and getting bad conduct discharged for having CP on military computers, and she was making videos with that guy and his wife, right before she took off with my kids and moved them 1500 miles away. Those videos were passed around to other units on base. When I would not obey her irrational demands, she would like to throw things at me and hit me with stuff. She ripped lots of shirts and I started shaving my head to keep her from ripping tufts of it out. Bear in mind I am NOT a small guy, at 5'8" I was 240lbs and could bench press 450lbs easily in my 20s. By my 30s that was over 500lbs. I could have ended her with one hand, without even exerting myself. Think gorilla with a human face and longer legs. Thats me. I have a divot in my skull where she hurled a coffee mug at me while I was teaching our younger daughter how to read when she was 3. Nothing with her made any sense, and she was a living nightmare to live with. The police would show up and they only ever wanted to arrest me, despite the fact there were no marks on her and I was usually bleeding from something, she actually cut me with a knife twice, requiring stiches. I was concerned every time I went to sleep about what she would do. She moved out twice trying to get me to obey her, once after I stopped her from throwing our younger kid into the wall a second time. She had just turned 3, and my ex called her a long list of names, hit her a few times, then grabbed one arm and flung her into the wall, and was going to do it again when I intervened. I wasn't fast enough to stop the first one. She cleaned out the house with her brother and mother. When she filed it was her last ditch attempt to make me obey her, hand over my entire paycheck, and work just to fund her shopping spree. Anyone who knows me will tell you , that would never happen. I am not the obedient type. I lead, others follow. When she finally left I was relieved, except I knew what was happening to my kids. However what happened to my two daughters was even worse than I thought, she was letting guys do what they wanted to them. When I confronted her about it, she said "Well, that happens." and of course they wanted to arrest me for what she allowed to happen while I was 1500 miles away serving in the military. I reenlisted in 2000 in an attempt to dig out of the debt she ran me into between 1995 and 2000. I had been out for 7 years, so I went back in as an E4. A 30 year old E4 with one war under his belt, about to go into the second. 3 years ago she admitted she was the problem, caused all of the issues we had, and she realizes it now that she is sucking down a bunch of lithium which makes her somewhat sane. We've been divorced since 2001, she has been married since 2002 and has made that poor man's life a living hell, but he is pretty much spineless. She runs his life the way she wanted to run mine, so they are destitute, in debt to the tune of nearly $200k, and many of the people they owe money to try coming after me. There is a lot more to this story, but this is long enough and I bet they will hide this comment anyway.

He wasn't good looking or better than me in any way, other than I was just getting over a prolonged illness. Balding with those fleshy jowls you see on old guys who work in offices and don't take care of themselves, and he was only 24... He isn't very bright either. The first time he met me he wet himself.

She lives two miles away, is unwanted now that she is 42, has no income so her mother has to pay her bills and provide her a vehicle. her dad passed in February 2023 and she has been in the padded ward three times since then. Where am I? Well. I own 13 acres of woodland, built my house and shop on it where I rebuild old muscle cars and trucks. I'm on a fixed income but its roughly the equivalent of $100k a year since I don't pay income or property taxes. My daily drivers in summer are a 1965 GTO I rebuilt from a very rusty rolling shell, and a 1970 Cuda. I have around 30 Pontiacs in total, mostly GTOs (4), LeMans (7), and TransAm(4), Formula(7) Firebirds between 1964 and 1979. One Formula is a 1998, it was my economy car from 2004 to 2017. I've been debt free since Feb 2021, paid off everything early. Not bad for being divorced in 2013 and her getting the house, shop, and a pile of cash. The first one was still soaking up half my income until 2015, then the child support ended. That let me invest everything I had been paying her into my land, and a bit more. Both my ex wives chose poorly when they left, neither has improved their lives and they never will. I was the absolute best thing that ever happened in their lives, and they thought they could do better. Man were they wrong. I no longer date, will not marry anyone, and I am enjoying life considerably in my mid 50s. The car I am building right now is kinda silly, with 7 to 10 psi it should be making over 1000hp. Its a 1968 LeMans with a completely aftermarket 505 cubic inch Pontiac V8 in it. Not a chevy or something, a real Pontiac. I am leaving everything to my younger daughter and a couple friends, if they outlive me. Well the UPS truck just brought more car parts, so I guess its time to go back to the shop and build the toys. Today I am replacing all the exterior sheet metal on a 2002 2500HD Silverado 4x4. I need it to pull my dump trailer around hauling gravel and whatnot. The 1500s could do it, but not safely..

  644.  @DD-xw6uw  I wish one of the ones I dated or either of the two I married could understand just what I did for them, and that they would have been appreciative of it enough to handle the small mundane tasks of laundry, cooking, and cleaning. All of which can be handled in an hour, but it was too much for them. Since I have to do all of that anyway, why bother having one of them around? Its an expense that is not needed nor appreciated, its worse than having a kid who eats and poops while making a mess.

  645. I stopped drinking coffee several months ago. The reason I stopped is no matter what I did my belly would not go away and its not lipids between my muscle and skin, its distended because of inflation in my gut. My weight has stayed mostly the same, but my belly has been shrinking, and I can fit smaller pants now. I have an energy drink at most once a day, but try to limit to when I have to do actual work in my shop. The funny thing is I was drinking so much coffee that it would put me to sleep rather than keep me awake. Now since I don't drink coffee, I stay awake easier, and it actually works if I use it sparingly.

  646. I might do something other than the usual automotive content I do, because maybe someone else will benefit hearing about what I went through, what I did to make my life better, and where I am now. I'd rather not talk about my past in a video, comments are one thing, I'll write it in comments without a problem. Thing is, I don't want pity nor sympathy, don't have a use for either. I like to think positively, and look forward rather than back, learn from the past and don't let it dictate who you are. If it will help other men, then I figure why not, hardly anyone watches my stuff, so its doubtful anyone would get anything from it.

  647.  @AndrewBrownK  30 is when everything starts slowing down. Healing times, metabolism, T production. I packed on my mass at 21, trust me you won't be putting in that kind of work outside the US military. Push two F150s across a large parking lot for a few months on end, and you get the idea of what I was doing. Eat healthy, heavy protein and moderate carbs, hold off on sugar but you still need a bit of it. Fruit is better than candy. Lift heavier than you want to if you want to put on muscle fast, and you are going to have to eat an insane amount of food too. I ate at least 3 MREs every night, I was always eating in 1990-91 doing the airlift thing. you only want to have 15" to 17" arms and bench around 300lbs, more than that and it starts causing issues with range of motion, breathing, blood pressure, etc. I'm around 20"-21" arms, and I have lots of issues because of it now that I am 54. I am still packing on muscle, but I am not like normal people at all.

  648.  @vanderumd11  in my defense, I got married the first time in 1993, long before the internet was useful for much, and at 24 I had no idea what bipolar was or how to spot it. I know now... Divorced in 2001. She was and still is a walking nightmare of irrational impulses. She hid all of that until after the first kid came along. I was very careful with the second one, she was completely different from the first and from Dec 2003 to November 2011 when we married she was on her best behavior. Right up until May 2013 she was absolutely wonderful to me. She was a 21 year old virgin when I met her, and she had the right attitude about life. We never had fights because she was not irrational, she was also very smart and didn't get upset when I knew something she didn't, we actually competed to see who had the larger vocabulary and things like that. We had fun together. I had my lungs messed up by a chemical in automotive paint, bad respirator, and for six months I couldn't breathe worth a damn. Apparently that was her limit, seeing me unable to do much, she figured she could do better than me. the fact the ailment was temporary didn't matter, she saw me as weak because something happened to me. The guy she left to be with was a very low value kid, 7 years younger than her who was desperate for a piece of tail. She was his first, and he stuck around for less than 4 years. Wrongly, I assumed she was too homely for anyone else to want her, never underestimate the desperation of betas and omegas was what I learned. She had to prove herself to me for 8 years, and during that time she acted right. I was already recovering when she decided to screw up her entire life. Despite how smart she is, there was almost no impulse management in her. Without me leading, her life has gone from quite good to really bad. She got fired from her township jobs this month, she is 41 with a useless degree, unemployed, unwanted, and of course she blames me for her poor choices. So its not like I went out and jumped on the first hotty I met and put a ring on it, or went into it with the delusion that she wouldn't do that to me. If we had never married, she probably would not have stepped out. Now that I am no longer paying the first ex, and I have all my income available to me, its kinda fun being single with a $90k+ passive income. I'm a rather capable combat veteran that builds old muscle cars to stay busy in retirement. Even with the chronic pain and limited mobility issues, I am still more capable than most men half my age. She left for a guy who had to be supported by her dad because he could not keep a job, that left her when she was 35. She really screwed up, and now she is paying for her poor choices and bad actions. The red philosophy started in earnest right as my second divorce was finishing up. I was one of the originators, not a prominent one, but I was there near the start. Lots of my input is repeated today, ten years later. You have already benefitted from my experience, someone had to have it to share it.

  649. No you cannot go to a gun show and pick one up without getting a background check they do a background check instantly right there. The problem with the violin aunt is in the large Blue City's run by the Deez who want to have it there so that they can justify people from defending themselves. It's mainly gang involved stuff going on it's not just average people going out blazing away at each other, it's gangs

  651. Its too easy for them to burn lives to the ground and nuke families. They can do it on a whim, and their hubris will keep them going until its done. The rewards run out at some point and they are left with nothing. My first was in 2001, the second in 2013. Eight years with both of them. I am doing great now, even with the horrible economy. They are NOT doing well, both are miserable. I own my land, home, and several vintage muscle cars, and have zero debt with passive income. Men recover because we can build our lives over and over. They cannot rebuild, they are beholden to the quality of man they can get, and that quality drops every year beyond 26.

  653.  @ryantucker2166  never had much money, and now that I am debt free, own land and am doing quite well considering, I hide it. Picture a silverback gorilla, but with blue eyes, blond hair, and a deep voice that makes panties melt. Also I am 5'8" but they really wanted to know what its like with a muscle bound freak who can do literally anything to them that he wants. Driving ratty, obnoxiously loud, and obviously dangerous looking old muscle cars plays into the bad boy image. Dark T shirt, ball cap, jeans, and redwing workboots has been my civilian uniform since I was in high school. Its funny, when I painted my cars and made them shiny, the interest dropped off the map, even though they are still loud hotrods that can stomp a Hellcat in the quarter. A shiny pearl blue 65 GTO with a 550hp 455 in it is apparently too grandpa for most of them. The 70 Cuda gets lots of attention, they like the lime green, but they just want their pic taken with it. We'll see what the 68 LeMans with a 6-71 supercharger sticking out of the hood, big tires, and loud pipes does. Last year with a dual quad tunnel ram on it, taking it to a couple shows it stopped everyone driving in and made it on the local news channel in the lead of the segment driving out... With 7psi it should be over 1000hp. If we are done with snow, it will be out in a couple weeks. The cars I build to have fun, scare myself, and see just how fast I can build stuff to be. Apparently they garner interest from the not men as well as men. The rougher and rattier looking the better, it has to be evil or sinister looking though, with an obvious intent to it. I've been building muscle cars and hotrods for 42 years, got my first in 1982 when I was 13. Still have it, and many others. Cars are the entire reason I exist. The fact that 'not males' aren't a priority in my life is also very attractive to them.

  654.  @mikeysflag1519  you're not featured prominently in all your social media pics? If you're female and don't post yourself constantly there are only two reasons for that... 1. You are uncomely or large like me 2. You don't have social media If a woman is even remotely attractive, damn near all of her posts have her in them and her face is plastered everywhere. No face, and yeah she is over 200lbs. So yeah not all women.. some are unattractive and they know it.

  655. Don't feel bad about it jarhead, its typical of the dependa to do that when the member has to deploy. You know that the females do the same thing downrange, they are no different at your permanent station. 3000 single men looking to score, all in good shape, and 500 single females, and the dependas. Overseas the mil females think they are tens because everyone hits on them all day, there are no tens, not even nines in the military. The highest they get is 7. Civilian society has become the same as overseas tours, because females can get all the attention and validation they desire online. They think they are tens when they are threes. Cut slingload and get on with rebuilding your life. Don't bring another 120lb leech into your wallet.

  656.  @rajeshjoshi4735  lol... women are easy, just have muscle and don't give a damn what they think or feel. Any man can build muscle, I started as a teenager on the farm and wrestling in high school. I have a voice people like to hear, so I guess I had that going for me as well. I am often asked if I do radio or TV commercials and whatnot. My focus has always been on building cars, well after I realized I could not afford airplanes it was. I wanted to go racing with them, could not afford to buy a fast car, so I built them. It took me a few years to figure out how to make it work, what parts to use, and things like that. That was my priority until I had kids. Then it was my second priority. Females were a priority for a day or two on a weekly basis. Sorta like a side quest in RDR2 or FO4. Thinking of a 54 year old 5'8" guy who looks like a pale gorilla with a gray beard and a belly as a Chad is amusing. Now my cousin, who is named Chad, is 6'7" and looks like the Technoviking meme, and guess what.. he is divorced twice same as I am. His wives were far more attractive than mine, but did the same things mine did. The wrapper changes, but women are all running the same base program. Her country of origin doesn't matter unless the culture where she lives is beneficial to men. Chad's second wife was Ukrainian, in her late 30s and still smokin hawt. She ran off with some 24 year old dude.. man, did she ever screw up. Chad is well off enough that he is learning to fly helicopters, and she took off with a guy who can't buy a car and is shorter than I am. Go figure...

  657.  @rajeshjoshi4735  sometimes they are introspective, but far more often they blame others who had no part in it. For instance. I was engaged to an Arab woman 32 years ago. We hadn't seen each other since 1991. She was coming to visit me this year, she booked her flights and planned the days. Then a week before she was to fly out she called and started berating me for not telling her to come after her trip to Australia and to not be here for her son's birthday. She blamed me because she did not plan ahead or think it all through. Then when she got here is was a string of disrespect and unpleasantness coming from her. I called her out on it the second day she was here, and she sorta changed, but was just playing along. Her nature has changed in 32 years. Probably from living in Germany for most of that time. She is not the lovely 27 year old I met while Stationed in Germany and she was living in Dubai. She is a very unpleasant 60 year old who takes no responsibility for anything that happened in her life. For several years before she came to visit she was talking about spicy fun time with me. After the first couple hours with her, there was no damn way she was going to get that. Her ex shut her off way back in 2008 and they divorced in 2016. She can go the rest of her life without that for all I care. She is not my problem and for that I am thankful. I just can't bring myself to want someone who disrespects and berates me. So I avoided spending much time with her for the 5 days she was here, other than to go somewhere to eat. She is too much like my first ex wife at this point. I dropped her off 5 hours early at the airport and left. She messaged me from her next stop and I never opened it. I am done with her.

  663.  @MikeBarbarossa  right. The whole point is for her to help him out with the light stuff so he can focus on the big heavy things. They are so entitled that they believe he should work, hand over the income to her, obey what she says to do, and essentially be subservient to her. Some low value males will do that, like my ex wife's second husband. She left because I would not do that... No matter what she tried, I did not bend to her. Why the hell should a man work for a woman's benefit when she does absolutely nothing in return? Western women are the lowest, they're all infected with that sense of entitlement.

  664.  @jonathanjacob5453  yeah it happens, I had it happen to me when I was in Korea. One hell of an ego boost for a 5'8 muscle bound freak of nature who always assumed he wasn't very good looking. I had Russians and Koreas hitting on me, even when I told them I had no money because it was all going to the ex wife. Most of the time though, they are too timid and afraid of rejection, so they put themselves in your line of sight, and do something silly, like bend over or strike a pose that will accentuate her best asset. They like to do that in stores, looking intently at the bottled water trying to get my attention. Its hilarious. I am not attractive to all females, but I am to enough of them that I could have one a week relatively easily. The Russians accused me of being a 'playboy' all the time, which I found very amusing. So I figure I was right on the 19% or 20% for most of my life, and had no idea most of it. If I lost my belly and dress in something not from a hardware store, it would be very easy for me now with all the weak soybois around here. I'm just not interested, I've had lots of them and done everything except twins at the same time. When they are looking at a ripped guy, who has a strong jawline, and heavy brow, who is 6'2 or taller, he doesn't even have to be that muscular, just not skinny and weak looking, she would be screwing up if she came out and said that to him. Most of the tall guys have no idea what a chick acts and looks at them like when she is interested. Its obvious once you know what to look for. They all do exactly the same things. I used to go talk to the ones who looked at me like that. Its how I got so many of them. I ignored the ones who didn't look at me that way, they had to show interest for me to bother.

I avoid bars frequented by college guys, because nearly every time I am around the smallest of them will get his courage on and try to start something with the pudgy 'looking' old gray bearded guy.

I have no desire to pay someone's medical bills because he messed with the wrong old guy, and I don't want to pay for some wallet sponge either.

  671. This video you're showing is partly right, but framed in an disingenuous way. They show the d run cities that have been forced into causing a huge gap between the wealthy and the poor, while eliminating the middle class. That is all a huge problem in blue cities, and the author of this video is going to tell you the solution is the cause. GET OUT OF THE CITIES! You're not required to have a corporation owning you, you don't need a store front to start a business. If you have no skills, GET THEM! You can lean anything you want right here on the tubes. I'm debt free, own 13 acres with a home and shop for my car rebuilding. Paid it all off in just 8 years on less than $50k a year. I'm 3 hours from the nearest big city. Stop complaining and start learning the doing. I know hundreds of job skills from heavy equipment operations to building computers and everything to do with cars. I know about aircraft, aviation, and orbital mechanics too. I cook my food, bake bread, and can build with wood, stone, metal, and composites. If you want something you have to put in effort to get it, you must go above the minimum and the middle point, you need to challenge yourself then test yourself against others. I'm tired of the woe is me complaining, i had to work for decades to get ahead because ex's put me back to zero twice. Betty busy living and stop whining.

  673.  @Freud_Mayweather  I build cars, from a pile of steel tubing, or from rusty rolling shells. I can do literally everything to rebuild them. Technically I can repair anything on US made vehicles built between 1909 and 2008, but I need some more equipment to work with the body control modules they have been using since 2000 or so. I owned and ran a repair shop in the 90s. I daily drive cars I rebuilt from rusty heaps, like my 1965 GTO. I need to repaint it soon... So if I see a car on the side of the road, I can probably fix it, either right there or in my shop. The thing is, unless she pays me for everything, and I would be just as expensive as any shop in town for labor, I am not getting anything for doing the work. I don't need to make money that way anymore. I lose time I could be using to do my own vehicles and house projects. Females are an expense, a liability, they bring nothing and demand everything... Ok well they have moist orifices, thats the extent of their value to me... sometimes they can help me move a non running vehicle.. sometimes. If you want to see the kind of stuff I do, check my channel on here.

  674.  @williamhuynh869  the difference is that men and women are not interchangeable. Western men are wanted in other countries, western women are not, because they are unfeminine, combative, annoying, and untrustworthy. Women outside the US and UK/Europe, want a man who can provide, a good life for her, and western men can do that. Men want a woman who can help them, raise a family with him, not always engage in a power struggle, and not run off at the first opportunity. Nobody wants western women because that is what they have been encouraged to be for the last 60 years. All I had to do in other countries was show up, and they came to me asking if I had a GF. I am a 5'8" guy who has never made more than $40k a year. Sure I have lots of muscle and a dominant mindset, but they don't know how I am until they talk to me. I tend to hide the muscle, so they think my name on here is who I actually am. No, they weren't all looking for a green card either, the Russian ones in Korea just wanted to have a dominant man for a change. They were way hotter than the Ukrainian in this video. She is a 2 or a 3 over there, so it makes sense why she is in the PI.

  675.  @muhdiversity7409  I take VERY rusty old cars, and rebuild them into nice shiny daily drivers with lots of power, and its vastly less expensive and far more rewarding than any relationship I had with females. I cleared 3 acres of trees and used some of the larger maples to build my shop where I build the cars. Something I could never afford to do when I had a female living with me. They kept me broke and I had to be concerned with keeping enough cash around to cover emergencies. That means I had to take far fewer risks too. Its not that I don't like them, its not that I am angry with them, as I am quite fond of them as people and intimate partners. The problem is how they can take everything I have and invested in as a reward for doing everything wrong. Its that they cannot be trusted, so I don't even bother doing so. Enjoy the time with them, then let them see themselves out when they think they can do better, and they always think they can.. Yet they rarely have. My first ex cost me more money than I have invested in my 13 acres of land, 20 muscle cars, and the house and shop I built, with all the tools and equipment I have to rebuild cars. What do I have to show for it? One kid that hates me, and another that calls me when she needs money. Other than that... nothing. I lost from 1993 to 2015 and was kept from getting ahead at all the entire time. I barely made as much money as she had taken from me and handed to her in that time. There might be a 'hood one' out there somewhere, but I am not looking for her, because she is hidden by all the not good ones. Its like sifting through a stack of needles covered in Ebola, looking for a clean one. Not worth the risk and effort.

  676. I'm 54, no way I am break dancing. OIF and my 2004 deployment ensured I will never even run again. I am lucky I can walk. My ex told my kids I abandoned them, the reality is she absconded with them, moved them 1500 miles away, and prevented me from being in their lives. She did that in 2001 when I was 32. My kids are 27 and almost 30 the oldest resents me having her with her mom. Her mom is that bad to them.

  677. I called it. Bought my land in 2013, right after the bottom fell out of the market after the 08-09 fiasco. This happened several times since the late 70s. We are sitting in a bubble again, and its gonna pop. If you bought during the last 5 years, you are going to be upside down for ten years at least. Hope you like living there and can make the payments. 43% servicing debt is wild. I made sure my debt payments never got over 20% of my total income, so I could live and do things. Back in the 90s the bank approved me for nearly $200k for a house, which was silly because I was earning about $2000-$3000 a month working a ton of OT. I bought a $37k house, and I was able to pay the mortgage and all our bills with my first weekly paycheck. The ex taking off and getting 71% of my before tax income was why I lost that old small house. The ex's brother also was allowed to move in my the MIL and he tore the hell out of it, then took all my appliances while I was in the USAF. The MIL said the AF was paying for my housing and food so the brother in law could live in my house without paying rent. They just couldn't understand why I was so massively upset. Just another leech on me. I am so glad to be done with that family, they aren't real bright. I had no idea until after my first kid was on the way. Makes me wonder if the kid is mine... Living within your means.. thats what I do. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Give it a year or two, maybe the end of the current admin, and see what housing costs. You not being able to afford a house for the last 8 years has been beneficial to you, because you are not stuck with massive debt and no way out of it. I am debt free, and have been since 2021.

  679. Its even more basic than not being able to have a family or own a house. Society has become consumers. People want to buy things rather than building things they want. Society forgot that hands can do more than type, swipe, and run a mouse. I'm part of gen X, many of us build what we want rather than buy it. Younger guys think they have to buy everything. The boomers and the consumer types think they need a shop to build the old car they want, they can't even imagine doing it themselves. I'm doing pretty well, but I put in a boggling amount of work to get here. I built my life, then rebuilt it several times when ex wives tore it down to nothing twice and other world events directly affected me. There is no way I can afford to live in a big city, thats why I don't live there.

  680. The entire premise that men need to be emotional is based on the flawed idea that women are the ideal, the pinnacle of human development. They are ruled by their emotions, we are not, but they are told that we are broken because we do not let our emotions run our lives. It is designed to create a rift between men and women, and as long as young females keep hearing this, the bad ideas will continue to fester. Females need to accept that they are female, and stop trying to be male while dragging us into being female. A man's life will improve greatly when he does not try to fit any of these bad ideas about what a man should be, and instead embraces what is actually is. We are not the caricature that is displayed on TV, the inept buffoon who needs a woman to save him. That is a power fantasy of the most inept and incompetent women.

Its best to let them all wither on the vine, because eventually they will realize they have been sold bad ideas. It will be too late for them, but their bad ideas will perish with them. This makes me profoundly sad, because I have two daughters, 27 and 29 years old. I will probably never be a grandfather. I blame their mother and the court system for that, because I was removed from their lives 22 years ago, and not allowed to guide them into being adults. Their mother ruined their lives, and her own as well. Walk away and go to some place where fathers are respected and admired, not loathed and punished.

  683.  @orppranator5230  while I agree with you entirely about her cheating, and the mag dump might go either way, the court system doesn't give two f'ks in a bucket of hamster vomit if she cheats. They reward her at his expense for giving them the opportunity to milk him and the US taxpayers for more money.

  684.  @honieebean  if you don't want soft men, then perhaps you should voice that to all the people in schools and legislating bodies who are pushing for exactly that. Or ya know, just go along with all the other females and then whine there are no good men left. We are still out here, but we want nothing to do with women, because she can take everything we have earned on a whim. We can't trust you, so we don't want you. Its that simple.

  685. The actual solution is to have only men in the workplace, but they'll never go for that because they want the taxes and females would think that isnot independent... because they think being independent is the goal. They've been lied to. Only men working would mean the wages go up because the workforce is halved. Women would need to get married to get out of their parents house. You either can have families, or you can have independent women.. not both.

  686. The goal was destroying the family, because after that subverting a society is easy.

  687.  @sullathehutt7720  not really. That was a for profit conflict from the start. It would still be going and would have expanded if the cheeto hadn't gotten in. The potato screwed up, rather intentionally from what I could see, and just like the North Vietnamese, they did not get their country by force of arms, they got it through ineptitude and lack of willpower of the US politicians. The intention never was to win it, just a way to skim money is all it is to them. To us, the people who actually went and did the fighting, its not profitable at all.

  688. As I have gotten older, the age of women who are into me has expanded, because now the old ones think they have a chance. The biggest gap was 18 when I was 49. Earlier this week at the grocery store I had two in their 20s flirting with me, one was definitely out trolling for attention with her yoga pants. As long as I don't tell them how old I am, they don't seem to care that much about it. Your average 54 year old is considerably different from me. He doesn't have much muscle, because he spent his life in cubicles and doing soft hands jobs, and was never worked like I was. He didn't develop the skills needed to talk to women, and the majority of them try too hard to get the young ones. I simply talk to them and watch their body language. EVERY one of them has so called daddy issues, there are just as many without as there are women without insecurity... which is none. They all have daddy issues and insecurity, its in their nature. Lately, I have been trying to look unattractive, and I tend to act goofy, especially in my automotive videos, because they are too expensive in time and money, with minimal return on investment. If you are an accomplished and physically powerful man, they will be interested in you at all ages. Not all of them, but lots of them. I have been to Europe, both ends of Asia, and Africa, dated women in all those locations and all over the US. For a 5'8" man I have a very long notch list. They do not want a try hard, they do not want a weak male, they do not want someone they can push around, unless they are simply getting money out of you. It doesn't matter what part of the world you're going to, women are essentially the same everywhere, the difference is what they think they can get.

  689. Dudes my age (54) that are on dating apps are the desperate ones. How do I know? Because when I checked out the apps a while back (10 yrs ago) all it showed me was 200lb+ and 60+. Like I wanted a 60+ when I was mid 40s and tappin 20 somethings. I get attention in public, quite a bit of it actually for an old gray haired sfg. I am actively pushing them away, using my appearance and disguising my wealth so I look homeless or near to it. The 30 somethings are dropping hints on me every chance they get. The one at Lowes sees me come in and drop $1k a few times a week while I am building, so she has an idea that I am doing ok retired. Yesterday while picking up food, there was a thin one about 60 who was eyeing me, and when I didn't say anything or return her smile, she got haughty. What does she have to offer me? A headache and drama, that is what she has to offer. Two divorces is enough, and they are a waste of time. I have better things to do like most accomplished men my age. Quality men are not using apps because its nothing but a string of ditchpigs on there. Maybe I should lose the belly, dye my beard back to my original blond, keep the high and tight with skinned sides trimmed, and make them even more annoyed I don't speak to them. Muscle bound 55 year olds with a full head of hair are kinda rare.. lol.

If that gets installed in the USA the world is f'd

  692. I am 54, saw lots of guys like all of you over the years, did nothing in your 20s, barely anything in your 30s, by the time they hit 40 life has mostly passed them by as they wasted years. Then in their 50s they try to make something of themselves and can't figure out why they are invisible. All the while they desperately try to look younger. I am 5'8 and I got LOTS of women, and that was part of the problem. Everything I built in my 20s and 30s, other than the muscle which doesn't go away easily, was taken from me in divorces. At 45 I was looking at a nearly empty parcel of land, and started building my home to replace the two I had lost. What a waste of time females are, they can jump on another peg D any time and YOU have to pay her to do it. I guess I am kinda lucky since I still have hair on the top of my head, at 21 my military job endowed me with 22" arms, and the plumbing works good, but I would be vastly better off if I hadn't been forced into poverty no matter how much money I earned. Yeah I have chronic pain from two wars, but I have no debt, own my land, and I build old muscle cars for fun out of rusty heaps that no sane person would consider rebuilding... for fun. I did all of that in the last ten years since my final divorce left me living in a 1996 Tahoe. Don't chase females, chase things that matter. I've been chasing knowledge, skills, and cars for a long time, and I caught quite a few of the cars. Money just lets me do things a bit faster, its not what drives me. Not having any makes it far more difficult to do what I want to do, but having a big pile of money doesn't do me much good either, its only when I use it that it does me any good. Chase money if you want, it comes and goes easily and quickly, besides the way things are going now its not going to be worth anything rather soon.

  693. Asian, 40, no kids, slim and relatively decent looking.. sure no problem, since I don't want any more kids (have 2 who are adults) and I am 55. Problem is they are INSUFFERABLE. I have a better income than this one does, own my home and many cars without debt, but I do not live in a city, my home is in the woods. The one in this video is a problem because of where she lives, I am NOT bringing that ideology into the US and into my home.

  694. Its not about empowerment, equality, or independence, its simply about disparaging men because they think we have power... while they actually have none, which is why they crave it so much. Rather than earning it, they want to do things like that to gain it.

  696.  @daveyboy8088  the standard is: You cannot trust women. They will do what they think is best for them, with zero regard for you and anything you have done for her. Whatever you do she will rationalize that she was entitled to, and you owed her all of that somehow. Doesn't matter how many meatsticks have been in her snotpocket. They are ALL like that, some just hide it better. Funny thing though, I have gotten a mouth hug with a head bob from five virgins, every one of them managed to finish the job. Of the couple hundred doorknobs who gave me a mouth hug, two of them managed to finish the job. The more peg D they get, they less enthusiastic they are, and yeah I have had a lot more experience with it than you have.

  699. Its so interesting that the ones with zero possibility or chance to get pregnant, are overly concerned about being able to carve up a kid in its first room. They definitely have a look, a uniform, and its an easy to spot attribute. They can't get the man they think they deserve, so they hate all men. Point, laugh, mock, and be indifferent.

  700.  @markadler8968  don't underestimate the thirst of a lonely 80 year old. The one I was engaged to back in 90-92 got married to a different guy, then divorced him because he got a replacement. She will be 62 in April and married an 80 year old two years ago. He didn't have any kids and figured he could leave everything to her instead. The last 34 years have been rough on her, she came to visit me last August. She managed to disrespect me enough that when she left I cut contact with her.

  701. 11 years divorced from the second, 22 years from the first, 6 years since I was seeing anyone. I own my home in the woods on 13 acres, no debt. I build old muscle cars for fun and the enjoyment of driving or racing them. The only thing I miss sometimes is that tuna scented squishy part, but this far into my life its a rarity. Oh and they are NOT doing well.. they thought they could do better, they didn't.

  702.  @dkindig  my brother from another mother. I don't do bikes, lost too many friends on them, so I do cars and old trucks.. lots of them. I build my PCs too, the gaming rig is due for a new GPU, I am thinking 4070 to replace the 2070. Living out here in the woods is glorious. I was forcibly retired by the USAF, well they didn't give me anything as a parting gift beyond the chronic pain and a long list of issues. Been fixed income since 2007, got out in 2005 and it took the VA that long to figure out how broken I am. Had to pay the first ex until 2015, but after that nobody else can lay claim to the pittance Congress says we are worth. I make the most of it.. lol.

  708. That camera you showed will follow the mic? That could be handy for doing work got a link? I do car stuff... I'll tell anyone about it. It is more difficult doing automotive, because I have to do actual work and film it. Say what you want about me, my cars, or my work.. I'll probably laugh and agree with you. My family doesn't care, they don't watch it. Most of my friends on FB are car people, and many of them have their own automotive channels. We watch each other's videos, its good to keep up with people you know and the builds they're doing. The surprise surgery last week put a hurtin on me, I was all set to make a bunch of vid about this Mustang I am doing, and I was hit with three weeks of light duty. My cameras have to be a mix, gopro for action shots, with mounts to stick to glass or metal, a DSLR for stills and video, and some other digital video like the one I am using for the Mustang build. I've been making video for over 30 years, just not posting them until recently. I don't need income from it, if I make any it will go to my kid.

The only way to sort this out is for everyone to do it the hard way, no safety nets, no free stuff, everything must be earned.

  711.  @muhdiversity7409  I don't make millions, but I do have some things that would get me quite close to a million if I sold them. Vintage muscle cars... my land... things like that. I hide that, and the fact that I have just under $100k in take home, in passive income. I look homeless, destitute, and when I meet a digger while I am driving one of the muscle cars I test her to see if she just wants the bag or she wants to know me. Its easy to do... If I won the lotto and had a billion sitting in the bank, I would dress the same, act the same, and just build cars faster in a much larger and nicer shop. The cars would still get my daily driver quality paint and interior, because cars are meant to be driven, not sit in a heated garaged and looked at. I would be over a million income if I had never gotten married, and subsequently divorced.

I avoid big cities, live in the woods and its a lot like where you're at. I traveled extensively in the USAF, rarely got jet lag. I know enough Russian and German to get around, but the cars keep me here for now. I'd live like a king overseas with my $60k no income tax passive income. Add 25 to 30 percent to get an idea of what i have coming in if i paid taxes. I love my hotrods, but if it goes tango uniform here, I'll bail to eastern Europe or Asia

  715.  @SayfumaniMyG  I have two ex wives, first has been gone since 2001, second since 2013. The first STILL complains to our kids that I just did whatever I wanted to do, didn't obey her at all. Well, I was earning all the money, doing all the work to keep things going, and all she had to do was pick up toys, put laundry in the machine, heat up some burger and noodles, so yeah.. I was not going to obey her and let her decide where the money went. Besides she is bipolar and horrible with money, she can waste several thousand dollars in a day and have nothing to show for it. In 1994 I bought a 1970 GTO for $1000 from a guy I worked with, she still complains about me buying it. Until I took it off the road in 2015 because electrical problems and the suspension needs work, it was the most reliable car I have ever had. Its going in my shop early in 2024 for a frame off rebuild. Its going to be a daily driver with lots of power like my 65 GTO is. A good method for sorting women is if they tell me to sell the old cars and buy a new one. I would spend time with a woman who was into road trips, 600 mile cruises, racing, drag and drive events, and building cars to do all of that. So far I only found one who is that isn't married to my brother. She lives 7 hours away from me, and we are still friends. Was seeing her from '15 to '18, best woman I have ever met, but she still wanted to end it because I didn't get my house rebuilt fast enough for her. heh..

  716.  @sage4293  I went to foreign countries, got shot at, injured not due to enemy action, and came back broken in 2004. I take that paltry sum of cash they call compensation, and turn it into much larger more valuable things by working with limited mobility and chronic pain to improve my life. However with all the lovely inflation they are increasing compensation, at about 1/4 the rate our money is inflating. The up side is now I get more than the average fast food worker. 20 years ago on active duty as an NCO I was making twice what I am now.... and Nebraska was taking all but $100 of it from me, and giving it to my ex.

  717.  @smithsmith1956  5000 years isn't long enough for something to evolve, nor is 10,000 years. We are essentially cavemen with smartphones and airplanes. That means we are running the same program that hunter/gatherers had 20,000 to a million years ago. Civilization acts to restrict human nature for the benefit of all of us, for the most part. You can use religion, social pressure, or a legal system to curtail the parts of our nature that are detrimental in today's society.... Except those restraints are only applied to men, whereas women are allowed to do as they please and are rewarded for their less than advantageous actions and choices here in the west. Women have carte blanche, and her bad actions will be paid for by men, all while they claim we oppress them. Its lunacy. Overseas in Asia, and eastern Europe, society still holds women to a certain standard, and men are held to standards as well. The downfall of any civilization comes about when women are relieved of accountability and responsibility while both are heaped on men, and men are forced to atone or pay for what women do. Its inflicted on societies, it is not a natural occurrence, it is intentional and by design, pushed by a certain type of individual who craves and covets power above all else. They'd rather rule over an ash pile. Thats why women burn their families and lives to the ground so often and eagerly.

  718. Most of us in our 50s are not going to save them from the solitude and despair they chose for themselves. I have friends who are bald, they try everything to hide it. Shave it and flaunt it. Just like going gray, let it go and wear it proudly. People often think i am bald because I wear a hat all the time, really I wear a hat because my eyes are overly sensitive to light. Its a common thing for people with light blue eyes to be light sensitive. I wear hats to limit how much light gets to my eyes, and I wear sunglasses whenever I am outside and when I am driving. My beard and hair are both gray, but my skin is good. I am mistaken for someone younger all the time, but I am not trying to hide anything... I mean look at my name on here.

In the US, you are going to find it difficult, the only demographic with lower general smv than Asians is basketball females. I think that sucks, a lot of my friends have been Korean and Japanese, wonderful people. Have had lots of Filipinos for friends too, along with the guys from Guam they were the best people to have around in the military. Most loyal bro's I've ever had. Get jacked, it helps. Get a wife from Asia, thats even better, and don't bring her to the states.

  721.  @carlmichaelx  its not a big thing for us, since the default for males its being alone and we tend to enjoy solitude over continual complaining and nagging. I have two kids, daughters who are 27 and 30, thanks to their mother they will never be a man's peace. I was 27 when the younger came along, and I will never be a grandfather.. because of their mother.. who will be alone here shortly when the 2nd husband achieved permanent equilibrium with room temp.

  722.  @shawnlinnehan7349  ok so if you never get to see your kids, have no input in their upbringing, does it matter if its still your genetics? The mother can keep you away from your offspring so incredibly easily, and there is nothing you can do about it. Besides, billions of men never reproduced throughout human history, the majority were taken out by disease or conflict, and the rest were simply unable to 'woo a strumpet.' There is no shortage of genetic cul-de-sacs in biology. We have had 80 years without millions of young men being removed from the gene pool, so we have what is essentially an overabundance of them. With so many to choose from, their potential mates flock to the best looking, tallest, and wealthiest. Only when there are fewer males will the 'not males' accept anyone outside the top 10%. I'm a 20% example, it was easier for me than most guys even though I am only 5'8" because of muscle mass, facial symmetry, and a dominant mindset. The deep voice helps too. However, in the current situation 20% isn't good enough, they want 10% or less, and that is even the 200lb+ examples that think they deserve the best men. Live your life best you can, enjoy the ride, because as men we are not entitled to anything. Its not nihilism, its reality.

  723.  @chrish2112  do you know what it takes to find yourself above average? 1 year of dedicated heavy lifting 6 months of going out and speaking to women to get used to it and build confidence. Being clean cut and well dressed. (something I rarely did, the bad boy thing worked for me) Don't act or think desperate, build confidence by doing physically difficult things. When I want to avoid women, like I have for the last 5 -10 years, I dress so I look like my name on here, NOT so they can see the muscle I have. I wear baggy cheap clothes from Menards and Tractor Supply. I don't trim my beard. I try to look shabby. At that point it doesn't matter what I am driving, they ignore me. When I want them to see me I wear a T shirt that fits tight around the chest and has short sleeves that let them see my upper arm. I trim my beard and shave my hair into a high and tight, skinning the sides and back. usually its black T shirt and jeans. Like I said, bad boy thing. Big arms and chest, big rough hands, driving a 1965 GTO that makes lots of noise, or the bright lime green 70 Cuda, then I get a ton of attention. The cars are an extension of who I am, not a status symbol nor trying to be something I am not or by having a flashy car. I have built and driven those kinds of cars since I got my first one at 13 way back in 1982. I have a lot of them.. Build muscle, wear your hair so you don't look unruly or unkempt, and walk like you are the baddest mofo in the valley, because you KNOW you are, since you have been tested in competition. Trust me, they will notice you.

  727. He is like so many people I have known over the years who drank or smoked their lives away. People with amazing talents, woodworking, carpentry, welding, metal work, highly skilled guys, become nothing because they crawl in a bottle and can't get out. Watching what happens to people over the last 55 years of living has made me appreciate how I didn't succumb to those negative habits. I have other bad habits, but they aren't anywhere near as destructive as drinking and smoking. I grew up on a farm 20 miles from town, working every day, after school I had work to do. I wrestled in high school so I could do something other than firewood, irrigation pipe, and working with livestock. Why does that matter? Well, as it happens men who live that sort of life growing up have a different mindset. We don't quit, we don't let anyone hold us back, and we work towards what we want. Nobody gave me anything, I worked for everything from age 7 to now. That life also packs muscle on you, because you are lifting heavy stuff all day. Never worked a menial job in retail. Never worked fast food or as a waiter. My jobs were all technical, construction, heavy equipment operator, machinist, CNC programmer, automotive repair tech, engine and transmission builder, logistics in the USAF. I've been homeless, unemployed, divorced living in an old car because Nebraska took all my money to give to the ex. Rarely drank, never smoked, they are a waste of money and I realized that at 19 years old in Germany.. going through a case of excellent German beer a week, realized the money was going towards nothing.. I think urban people are at a disadvantage, because they don't learn how to do things that could be sources of income. I was rebuilding small engines at 8 years old. Did my first V8 at 12. At 7 years old I was driving tractors. At 9 I was driving grain trucks on gravel roads, two speed axles, manual transmission in a 1952 GMC cab over. I helped pour my first concrete slab when I was 8, we built the forms and did all the work, so when I poured the slab for my shop in 2015 I knew how to do it. I learn how to do things rather than paying others to do it for me, I had to on a remote farm with no money.

  728. In 1991 I was getting paid $963 a month. E3 pay. Since I was in Germany working shifts where the chow hall wasn't open, I got COLA and BAS, so my checks were around $1100 a month. I made $13k that year. In 1996 I was making $750 a week working 10-30 hours overtime every week. The ex made sure all of that was wasted every week and we were overdrawn for as long as the ex had access to the account. I bought a house in 94 for $37k, built in 1910, it was not palatial by any stretch, but it worked for my and my two kids. If the ex had NOT financially ruined me at every opportunity, I could have built a life and saved something. It was NOT easier in the 80s and 90s. You needed skills and experience to earn more than just above min wage, which was like $7.50. You can still get inexpensive houses, but they aren't in large cities or suburbs around them. Freakin duh... go where life is more affordable, but yeah you are still going to have to work and improve yourself to earn a decent amount, then LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS. I swear man, I hear young people complaining that they have to put in work and not just be given stuff, claiming we didn't have to work 40 years ago. You probably have had no job as difficult as the easiest one I had. Learn and become valuable, don't expect anyone to do it for you..

Sure enough.. she was 34 and she bailed for a Dr who dumped her a year later. Now she is 40 and just as alone as my ex wife who is 41. So yeah man, you said to someone else, you aren't gonna marry her. Good plan. We are on the same page then. Because some short muscle bound freak like me who DGAF just might end up doing for her what you can't do (its a mass/angular moment thing that makes tall guys suck in bed) and then you find out about it. Brooming her without any legal issues is great. Have fun creating a tall guy dating widow. :) But on the other hand, she might stick around and get old and haggard with ya. No worries if she leaves it will be when she is over 35, so you get her best years and someone else gets the wrinkled leftovers. Bonus.

  731.  @Don-ds3dy  after seeing one I liked, decide to jump on my friend while she was out with me, I haven't really been susceptible to that particular delusion. I see them for what they are, and make choices based on how long I think they will remain faithful. The first wife baby trapped me, long story and it was 8 years of hell living with her, then 15 years paying her to make some other guy's life miserable. There was no love there, except for my daughters, one of which might not be mine, but now that she is almost 30 years old, whats the point of finding out for certain? The second wife was wonderful for 8 years, we got married to get her health care, and 16 months later she did the same thing the first one did. To say I did not expect it would be a lie, I knew she would, but I thought it would take at least 3 years before she burned her life to the ground. When your trust is betrayed by every female you meet, and none of them are faithful, loyal, trustworthy, or truthful, its difficult to be blinded by love. I gave them chances, took risks, it cost me from 1986 when I got the first piece of tail until 2015 when the last payment went to the ex. Its funny though, one from 32 years ago, who probably would have been faithful to me, came to visit this week. Turns out she thought she could talk down to me, like I am some beta male, like her ex was. I can't wait to put her on the plane tomorrow, she is insufferable in her old age.

  732. My dream is different than yours. I DO NOT want to live in a city, or in the suburbs of a city, sure as hell not a blue one. Nobody was ever buying houses on minimum wage. You need some skills and experience to make yourself more valuable, and then your pay will increase. A degree is a waste of money now, unless its some kind of STEM or vocational thing like plumbing/electrical etc. Do NOT be an auto mechanic, it pays poorly and works you to the point your body wears out in less than 20 years. I had several jobs in my life, the jobs paid less when I was young, and the pay increased as I got older and gained more knowledge, skill, and experience. THAT IS HOW IT WORKS! Sure my dad bought his first house in 1967 for $2500 and paid it off in 5 years. I bought my first house in 1996 and paid $37k for it when it was built in 1910 and was actually three additions to a shack. Lost that investment to divorce in 2001. Inflation is why the dollar is worth less and the cost of things go up. Thats why my dad got his house cheaper than I did. I worked on cars and as a machinist in the 80s, enlisted and barely made enough to do anything in the USAF for four years. $700 a month was my starting pay, $1100 a month when I got out at E4 in 92. They kicked me out with the drawdown in 1992, and I went to work in factories doing the CNC machinist thing. The factories were all packed up and sent to Mexico between 1997 and 2000, so I went back to the USAF in 2000. $1740 base pay in 2000, and Nebraska decided that $1200 of that would go to the ex for child support, leaving me $100 a month to live on after taxes. I was stuck paying her from 2001 until 2015. The USAF broke me in 2004 and kicked me out on a medical in 2005, the VA finally started paying me compensation in 2007. It was $1900 a month for 100% disability in 2007. By 2015 the compensation was close to $3000 a month. I am not allowed to earn more than that. What did I do after my second divorce in 2013? I bought 13 acres of land on a ten year mortgage for $23k. There was a run down cabin here and electrical power run to it and its covered in trees, that was it. I carved my home out of the woods despite chronic pain and limited mobility, on $3k a month. I took out a $30k building load, built my shop for $18k by doing 99% of it myself. Built a shipping container house for right about $22k as I had money come in from the VA and USAF screwing up my pay over the years. You can still get land cheap here, but if you plan to buy land and work a job stocking shelves, running a cash register at a fast food joint, or some other menial job, you aren't going to do it. Like I said before, NOBODY was buying houses and new cars on min wage. NOBODY. Those jobs are for high school kids to get some money while learning skills you can only get from jobs, like talking to people in a business setting aka customer service, and the basics of working a job. You have zero skill so you get a min wage job. I grew up on a farm which meant I knew things already, heavy equipment operation, mechanical repair to vehicles and machines, hwo to use all sorts of tools, how to solve problems, how to read micrometers and blueprints, and a work ethic that makes city kids look like they don't do anything all day. Anyone can learn the basics, especially right here watching videos. You can learn how to do EVERYTHING I have ever done, right here watching videos on it. From building your house and car, to managing finances, its all here... for free, you only need to go looking for it. You can even learn cooking on here and other useful skills that you will need every day, if you come from one of those sheltered families that doesn't know how to do anything because you all live in a city. The more you can do yourself, the cheaper you can do things, and the more you can get out of life. Stop thinking about what you can buy, and think about what you can build, and how you can go about building it. Mainly though, stop being resentful that someone else has something you do not, or more of something. Who cares if they started out aas a rich kid, you didn't and I didn't either. So we have to work more to get to a certain level, that is life. Something I have seen over the last 50 years is the people who are born into something, and have parents give them everything rather than the kid earning it, take longer to get started in life. They do not appreciate what is given to them, because there was no effort or discipline to get it. Living a hard life makes you fare more resilient and stronger, those who grow up with soft easy lives end up soft weak people.

  734.  @Eneeki  well with her I developed a respiratory issue from paint fumes, laid me up for about 6 months. Right as I recovered, she met a kid 20 years younger than me, 7 younger than her, who showed interest in her. She wasn't pretty, but very plain, the thing she had going for her is she is thin. Like yours, she was wonderful to be around, we never fought, and got along even when we disagreed. She is very smart, but not good at social things. Her mother and sisters encouraged her to leave me and go with the other guy.. and then they met him. Nobody likes that guy, and he left before they were together for 4 years. Of course her mom and sisters blame me for her poor choice to leave, especially since I am doing very well financially now that I don't have to give half of everything to the first ex anymore. She left in 2013 and in 2015 I was finally financially free of the first one. Not good timing on her part, she could have been set for life, all she had to do was be faithful. Now she is 42, alone, and she will not find anyone else, you have to be attractive to manage that, and the years have not been kind. She is still kinda thin though, saw her in a store last summer. She left her cart full of stuff and ran out of the store. She smiled a really big smile when she saw me, and then she remembered she was supposed to not like me anymore. Her poor choices and bad actions have sentenced her to a life of loneliness and poverty once her mom passes away and can't support her anymore. They don't realize the consequences come for them later, not immediately.

  735. Ya know, building old cars and having a dog hanging out in the shop with you is vastly more rewarding, and as you grow older you can look back on what you have achieved, because its right there in a tangible physical form. Everything you do for 'them' is an expense, they can throw it all away on a whim and take everything from you. I am hidden on here for saying things like this. Just because cars are a vastly better investment.

  736. A bouncer at one of the local bars is a friend of mine. I will stop by sometimes, hang out front and talk with him about football, cars, or whatever. Its a fun time because he knows a ton of people and the homies are funny as hell. If I am not hanging out with him, they won't talk to me, assuming I am one of those hseet wearing dudes.... I'm not. Other than that, I don't go to bars and clubs, figured out that is not my scene 30 years ago.

  737. Ask a split tail what the problem is, and they will blame EVERYONE except the split tails, who are usually causing the problem. This split tail says "People are waiting until their late 20s and 30s to have kids" which is completely irrelevant to men as we do not have a biological clock. Split tails are waiting, and they are squandering their prime years. So obviously, blame men... and couch it that men are waiting too, as if most men have a choice in the matter. The vast majority of men are rejected by the split tails based on arbitrary criteria, such as height. At least with our income we have some influence, can't change how tall you are. All you can do if you're short like me is build muscle. Its not being too picky, but that they are completely opposed to not having a top 1% man, when they themselves are the 99%, as in the most bland, common, unremarkable, and typically mid. Squandering their fertile years, being told they can have kids when they are 40, and chasing the never ending stream of rotating Richards that they all share. Sure though, call it people and imply its men doing it. About the economy. I have never made lots of money, but I have worked to build my life, and rebuild it when it was destroyed by an ex. Take it from a dad, when you have kids you will find a way to support them and you will try to give them a better life than you had. We are wired that way, no matter what the split tails claim. You will do whatever it takes, work as many hours as needed, and you will sacrifice yourself for those kids. Most of us know this before we ever have kids. I was 24 when my first came along in 1993, and 27 for the second in 1996. The youngest is now older than I was, and has no kids.. time is running out for my daughter to have kids. The problem with men not wanting to have kids is EXACTLY what happened to me. My two daughters were taken from me, hauled half way across the US, and then I was punished for being a dad and forced to pay for them, without being allowed to be included in their lives. Both of my kids are now screwed up, because of what their other parent did and exposed to them. The ex messed them up so bad that no quality man wants anything to do with my daughters. The youngest is covered in ink, dresses like a street walker, and goes after the complete wastes of oxygen.. The ex allowed my kid to get ink at age 14 without consulting with me. When my daughter said "I don't need you or your permission." I said fine, and hung up. Did not speak to my kid for over a year. Guess who realized what dad was worth after a year of being shut out. By then the damage was done, and my kids are ruined. So all of you young guys see what happened to me, and you see your choices are all jacked up like my kids, because they had no father allowed in their lives when it mattered most. Between age 3 and 15. I do not blame you for walking out, not playing the game. I get your point about money and economy though Bo, I agree. The big cities have been turned into the poor and ultra rich. Its by design, and why I keep saying GET THE HELL OUT OF THE CITIES. You get to keep more of your income even if it is smaller. Don't worry about the number, focus on quality of life. You DO NOT NEED to be a millionaire to have a good life. Sure, its nice to have a ton of money, but you can live quite well on a lot less. Still... why share what you have with someone who can take it all from you on a whim?

  738.  @burnerjack01  "cardbordeaux" I like that... using it since they hide it when I use the other name for it. Its funny how the 20 somethings hit on me, so I talk to them, and then when they learn I am not looking to date anyone, they all say the same thing "You sound like my dad." Apparently the gray beard isn't enough to inform them I am over 50. I started going gray at 26, but still... its been full gray since I was 40. As if I need another expense with nearly zero benefit. If I could hire a professional a couple times a week, then I would have nothing else I want to get from them. They chose this, they caused it, but of course they will blame us for not playing a fixed game with a predetermined outcome.

  739. There is no escape, you cannot run from this. Once the US falls to this woke managerial crap, the rest of the world will follow suit. Far better to stay and fight against it, LoM is doing that even though he is in eastern Europe now. You put yourself at a disadvantage by leaving the US... but sure, you can run and hide for a while. I guess some people flee rather than fight.

  741.  @JasonDeville-fi4dh  my ex and her boyfriend claimed I carved up his truck, there was zero evidence that I was anywhere near where they were. They claimed I ran nearly 300 yards, cut up his truck with a dozen people working in the area, and ran 300 yards back. I haven't been able to run since my 2004 deployment, in 2012 I was dealing with a respiratory issue that left me unable to breathe so walking ten feet was nearly impossible. All this happened in May 2013. Yet somehow they claim I managed to do it, when the more plausible thing is they cut it up themselves because they knew I was bringing her dog to her. Had to pay him $3000 and sat in jail for two weeks. The hilarious part is he used to work for the sheriff as an EMT, he was soundly disliked and chased the non males around trying to get some, which they rejected. One had to have her brother and father tell him to leave a wedding reception or end up in an ICU before he left it alone. That one was 5'3" and roughly 260lbs, mid 30s with two kids. They treated me like a celebrity in jail, they knew it was a fabrication, they knew him and my ex. So I was allowed to do almost whatever I wanted, and just had to sleep there. He was fired, and fired from every other job, so her dad supported both of them until he ran off before they had been together 4 years. Now the ex is 42 and has been alone for 7 years, almost as long as we were together (9 years)... and I am still blamed for the poor choices and bad actions of others.

  742. They wonder why we are avoiding them, not interacting, and they all end up getting P&D'd by the same handful of tall guys in their area. I was married twice, had kids with the first, there was zero satisfaction had with either of them. Stress, drama, irrational arguments, massive expense, entitlement, yeah that was bountiful. All my satisfaction in life came from what I did, my effort, achieving my goals, overcoming hardships and obstacles, doing things very few others ever could.

  743.  @annonymsurfer3189  many of them have malice, because they are low to mid and cannot get the man they think they deserve. So rather than accepting who they are, or trying to improve themselves through effort and work, they just hate all of us. My point is they are beneath most of us, but they think they are a prize and above us. When society collapses and survival is challenging, then they will find out just how not capable they are.

  745.  @Krelian4400  I had no problem getting lucky, somewhere between 150 and 200 of them said yes. Both in cities and in rural areas, all over the northern hemisphere. As for entertainment, I've never been someone who likes bars or clubs, drinking alcohol is a waste of money, running it in your car is lots of fun. I build and race muscle cars from the 60s and 70s, they are popular with females too, my rattiest, loudest, least shiny, and fastest vehicles are panty bait. Movies, internet, sports, travel, and quality time with friends is available out in the sticks, its not like it was in the 1980s. I figure you don't remember the 80s anyway. Never really had a problem with medical, even overseas. I have more issues with the VA than anything, but that depends on who is running that particular hospital/clinic, and who is in office more than its the VA. London and other cities are getting culturally enriched whether they want to or not, I guess if you like getting mugged and your vehicle broken into, maybe unalived for your shoes or something, then the cultural enrichment is just right. I lived in cities, and the reason I was never mugged is because I do not look like an easy target, I look like the kind of man who will crush a skull out of boredom. Food, you think nobody has food in the rest of the world? You need to get out more, like out of the city and see the rest of the world.

  746. The reason for all the vitriol spewing from this one, is that ALL of them, every single one of them, cannot handle rejection. Stop saying the ones like this are masculine, they are NOT. They are insecure and have no strength of mind nor body. They know their clock is ticking and after 30 they discover what being invisible is like. They tell themselves they are different, they aren't like that, and it won't happen to them, they will always be beautiful and wanted. The quality of man that wants them declines rapidly after 30. By the time they are 50, only the 70 yr old men will consider them. This one would be incredibly lucky to have a man like me, but men like me don't want her. I was staying heavy enough to cover my muscle, because its very effective at keeping them away. health problems are making me lose the padding now, that and its much easier to get into the roll cage of my race cars. While I wasn't ever top 10%, apparently I was in the top 20% from 17 on. I got lots of them. When they act like this one, they have been rejected, turned away, told they aren't good enough, and that creates a seething hatred in them that permeates their very being. I've been overseas, in the USAF and I traveled while on leave. I got off the base and explored the local populations and cultures, learned as much about them as I could, and usually tried to blend in as much as a blond haired blue eyed guy with 21" arms can. I fit very well in Germany, because that is my ancestry, but I stood out in Korea, and had them coming to take pictures with me in Seoul. That was a trip.. feeling like a celebrity just because of my blue eyes and light hair. Asians seem to really like me, from anywhere in Asia, not just the eastern part. The quality you find in other countries far surpasses what we have here in the US, and it appears that their quality in Europe has declined to that of the US. Africa was amazing, but I never made it to South America, maybe someday. I can find any size, shape, and skin tone right here in the US, but they are all broken here. They've been fed so much bee ess they could be mushrooms. They are far too much like this one, thinking they own us, that they are entitled to what we produce, and thus are completely irrational and spiteful when rejected. The guys getting the passports are rejecting them en masse, out of hand, completely even without seeing or speaking to them. It doesn't take much experience with them here to realize they're all broken. Why else would I want to keep them away?

  747. IT DOES NOT MATTER how well you vet them, they all get that same feeling around 30 that they are missing out or something. They all assume it won't happen to them, that they will be hot their entire life, and they mistakenly believe they will do better. Fact is, they were lucky to get the man they had, they will not do better. Its only a matter of time until they burn your life to the ground and use it as kindling to destroy their own.

Thing about you though is that you can't get any, so you just run with it and say you don't want any.

  755. NEVER depend on a split tail for anything. Bro screwed himself with the neck tattoo, just a fact of life. It shows poor decision making. About the youtube thing: You need to make content people actually want to watch, and you have to make it regularly. You can't do a video every so often and expect it to go anywhere. You have to be entertaining or provide useful quality information. Rants and stuff will only get you a few views. I am using inconsistency to keep mine from going anywhere right now. I have my reasons why I am not building it, just keeping it on life support, don't worry about the reasons. You have to treat it like a job, you have to put out regular content. It will take a couple years of making a video every day for you to go anywhere. This is not a get rich quick thing, unless you have adipose tissue hanging from your ribcage, and even then it takes some effort. I do car related stuff, I don't talk about this part of my life in my videos, my videos are about things I find fun and entertaining. My ex wives are not entertaining for me, for the most part, watching them flail and fail in life when they assumed they could do better, well.. I enjoy that greatly.. I have to work on the car, make a video, then edit it into something you want to watch. Its like having 3 jobs. Likewise Bo has to spend hours looking for something to talk about, then he has to talk about it, and make it interesting, then go back and make sure the video sounds and looks good. ITS FREAKIN WORK no matter what you do. Without putting in the work, you will go nowhere. You're a man, nobody gives you anything for free. Vibes and happy thoughts are not going to have the same results as action. You cannot make something happen or bring a vision into reality without putting in work to make it happen.

  756.  @bpint695  its funny you say that, because I fake being nice all the time. Last week I was talking to one of the guys who works at the grocery store I frequent, and told him why I am so friendly and kind while I am in there. Its because if I show my true self, the military trained all business man, I get calls from the sheriff telling me not to go there anymore. So I am polite and kind to people, like letting someone with a handful of things go ahead of me in line when I have a cart full of stuff. Well one of the 33 year old not men, was privy to our conversation, and yesterday when she saw me, everything about her had changed. Her body language, her demeanor, her expressions.. she was showing massive interest, because now she knows I am playing a role (the nice guy), so the incongruency with how I look and how I act was removed. She had minor interest before, but it was ramped up significantly yesterday. However.. there is also a thing where they are far more attracted to me the week before their monthly thing. So she is probably starting that soon. During that time and the week after, they have the least interest in me. I learned that many years ago, and it has been a constant with minimal variables. The reason they like me in the first place is the muscle, deep voice, and the hyper masculine facial features.. even though I try to look like my name implies on here and I don't dye my beard, its mostly gray. Other people in line picked up on her reaction to me.. it was most amusing.

  759.  @St4rTr3v1Ut10n  I'm old, almost 55, and one of the best things I did was lift heavy stuff through my life. My jobs were enough for me, but for guys who aren't loading cargo planes, moving dirt or working heavy dangerous jobs, the gym is where they need to spend time. They need to lift heavier than they are most of the time. A man who can bench over 300lbs will have enough muscle mass to handle 90% of what the world throws at him... including other men intending to do him harm. Even if you don't use it to get laid, its highly beneficial to build your body and your mind. Lift and learn things, the more you do of both the better your life will be.

  760. This is why I paid off my mortgage and building loan in Feb 2021. Been debt free since. I knew this was coming, and I didn't want a bank telling me I don't own it anymore. You want a home? Buy a chunk of land in an area where most people don't live. Build a house on it like I did. Avoid cities like they're full of brain munching zombies. You can make money working for yourself instead of stocking shelves, handing people coffee, or whatever nametag and hairnet job you have. Live within your means, and that is NOT renting a tiny apartment for several thousand a month in a big city full of horrible people. Don't drive a new car, buy a 20 to 60 year old vehicle and learn to keep it running. Its vastly less expensive working on it yourself than taking it to a shop. Harbor Freight, Lowes, Menards, even NAPA has quality low cost tools. There are how to videos on here catering to whatever vehicle you end up getting. I rebuilt transmissions in the bed of my pickup, so you can keep an old car running too. I saw what the two previous blue regimes did, and I knew they would end up running things into the ground again, so I made it happen during the downturn after 2008. Bought my land in 2013, after putting work into it, I could sell it for a hell of a lot more than I have in it... but I am not selling it. I like living here, and I can live off my land if I have to. Looks like I will have to in the next few years.

  766.  @FullCircleTravis  most men, along with all women, are followers. Not exactly weak, but unwilling or unable to lead and decide when it comes to important decisions. Some of us will not lay down and accept it when someone tries to control or subjugate us, you would be one of them. I am one as well, as I had to fight to get anything since most everyone around me was trying to hold me back and telling me how useless and dim I was.

  767. Listening to him speak for 15 seconds, I know what the problem is. Dude has been raised to think and act like he has XX chromosomes. That upward inflection at the end of every sentence.. two Xs. The insecure attitude and woe is me mindset.. two x. Dude is softer than butter in a blast furnace. All he needs is a Subaru Outback and some flannel to fit in with the XX's who wish they could grow beards, hell, they are more manly than this dude.

  768. The tiny dentist can enjoy her life alone. As for missing teeth, well car accidents, conflicts, and military service can remove teeth from your head no matter how well you care for them. If she wants a harmless male who has never defended himself, she can have one.. they are everywhere. Tell ya what, at 54 I am thrilled that I was born in the 60s, because I got a mind numbing number in the 80s to 10s, I am over it and not having to deal with this bad attitude and nonsense is enjoyable. Sorry it sucks for you guys, you shoulda been born 50 years ago, we had fun by simply having muscle in the 80s and 90s.

  769. Talk about how problems make you feel? It does nothing. Talk about causes of the problems and solutions to them, now that makes a difference. Rather than forcing boys to think and act like females, it would do females well for them to learn to think and problem solve like men, but not act like us.

  770.  RealPeterAndrewNolan  you need to have a common interest. Then you need to be competent, capable, and knowledgeable. You have to be a role model that draws people in, so if you failed you simply weren't. You wanted to lead, well leadership among men must be earned. If you are not competent and capable, nobody is going to follow you, no matter what you do. You must prove your competence and capability, and do so many times to get men to follow you. For instance. Take a video game where teamwork is key, like Squad or Hell Let Loose. People will follow a competent leader, and they will get in his squad map after map, because they do well with him. They will leave an incompetent leader, and avoid him like the plague. You have to know things about those games to be a competent leader, you can't just jump in and know what to do or how to do it. If you get in there and try to micromanage everyone, telling them to go here, do this, and make poor choices, they will not follow you. If you get in and give them an advantage over the other team so they can have fun beating on them, they will follow you. Lets go this way and achieve this, rather than everyone go here and do this this this and this. Good leadership seems effortless, but it comes with experience and competence. If you have neither, nobody is going to follow you, they will run off and do their own thing. Making friends is a lot like leadership. You should treat your friends like you care about them, the same way you should care about the people you are leading. These are skills I have honed over the last 40 years, in the USAF, in video games, and among friends where we share cars, marksmanship, or aircraft as a common interest. In those games I mentioned above, people eagerly jump in my squad to follow me, because I make it fun and we can get behind the enemy and make things happen. Even guys with only a few hours in the game catch on and start being very effective. You cannot force anyone to like you, just like you cannot force a woman to want you. Men have to earn everything.

  771.  @Jordan-ff6mc  what do you like to do? What would you like to do? Men have to do things, and we make friends by doing things. I do the muscle car thing, and I do it low buck for the most part. Using methods anyone can copy or emulate. I have lots of people I know who are into cars because of my interest in them. Just got back from a show two hours ago. Saw several people I know, got my social time in. It doesn't have to be cars, but it can be. Its damn rewarding to rebuild an engine and hear it start for the first time. You did that, its your knowledge and skill put into action and it functions. THAT is what motivates men and gives us satisfaction. Not the engine, its utilizing your skills and knowledge and seeing it work. We judge ourselves and each other based on what we can do, what we know, how good we are at doing it, and what we have done before. I should have made a video of everyone staring at my car when I left the show a couple hours ago. I built it to be ostentatious, over the top, and glaringly obvious. Its loud, ugly, obnoxious, and people had huge smiles on their faces and their cameras out when I cranked it up to leave, and when I brought it in and parked it at the show all eyes were on it. I built it to have fun and to make people smile, not for the attention. I don't crave attention, but I can handle getting it. You can do the same thing in your way. Cars are my thing, my example, and you don't have to be strong or physically fast to be into them. Anyone can get an old car and start working on it, and these days people will flock around an old 50s or 60s 4 door or wagon, because you just don't see them anymore. The ratty stuff gets more attention than the shiny stuff, because people can relate to it. Find the thing you like to do that is not watching youtube videos or cranking it to prawn, get deep into it and as you improve in your skills, you will earn friends. Men have to DO something to make friends, its not about feelings, its about common interests.

  772.  RealPeterAndrewNolan  yeah, its obvious why nobody wanted to bother with you. You're a sperg, which is ok, I mean not everyone can be affable and someone has to be socially awkward or outright inept. It just happens to be you. Its not about being liked, its not about admiration, the fact you think that based on what I said belies that you tend to think like a female. You seek external validation, and base your self worth on what others think of you.. which is also why nobody wants to follow you. So it stands to reason you are incompetent at most things, since you kinda suck at reading comprehension.

  774. First one is looking for an atheist country boy that is into chicks who don't need sunscreen? We exist... thing is WE DON'T WANT HER. Its her ideology and her attitude that tells men like me to NOPE the hell out of there. She doesn't like the males who are overly concerned about her having extra privileges because they are soft, compliant, submissive, and thus unattractive to her. Women here in the US have managed to make themselves as unworthy as possible. Its astounding.
