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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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.

@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."

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.

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.

@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.

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.

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.

@@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.
