  • Hmm… A relationship column I can do.

    —“I’d pay good money to read your sex column.”— Kevin Wu

    [I] don’t think so. A relationship column I can do. Sex I don’t think I’m anything special at all, or any one to listen to, other than I know how to talk about it, and I’ve had a bunch of relationships. I have friends who go through model-quality-women like snowplows on the highway in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. That’s not me. I like fit nerdy girls and I’m monogamous by nature and preference. 😉 I was raised in the “joy of sex” generation of get high and relax through it all – which like everything else in the sixties and seventies was nonsense. Had to learn the hard way. Everything you need to understand about sex can be encapsulated in one quote from one woman of outsized experience: “The dumb, young, athletic ones are better because they think less, follow instinct more and are closer to gorillas – they get the job done. Everything else is romance, and build up.” Feel your way thru sex using your entire sensory system and hers – don’t think it. That’s what they do. Women are not projects, objects, or prey. They are partners in family, and friends with benefits. You win them indirectly by being valuable and interesting, and making them feel safe to ‘feel’. Play a sport no matter how stupid to keep fit, keep some man friends either recreational or business, and make sure her friends are jealous of how you take care of her. Be a Prince to her friends, a gentleman with her, and a gorilla in the bedroom, and finish her first. The first time you score, exhaust her completely. That’s it. The rest is being friends. Don’t try to understand women. They aren’t men. Just love them. Say no to what you need to. Don’t disagree on preference or good, just can or cannot, will and will not. And when they treat you like a girlfriend rather than a man then come down hard on that limit. Listen and say you understand. Learn to half-listen. Dont judge. Ask a few questions when you don’t undrestand. Support her ambitions. Respect her within the limits you set. Do stuff together. Friendships are built and maintained through shared experiences. Do things with other couples to keep from making it tedious. Do stuff apart from each other so you have things to talk about. Do not get into debt or too many hours of work, or too much stress that you can’t do all of the above comfortably. Don’t get too much house or more kids than the two of you can manage. Live and work near family so that grandparents share in the kids. I could afford a 40K year child/nanny expense. Most people can’t. Grandparents are worth about that much income. My ‘thing’ is to learn what makes them look good and buy clothes for them. Other guys its doing stuff for them. This tells them constantly that she is on your mind. My wife and I talked at least once a day from the office if not more. It’s not complicated. That said, I still failed. I would have been fine and still married to that amazing woman, but two bouts of cancer and the illness between them and the contraction of the market while having a child I wasn’t ready for, just were too much for me. I’m only freaking human. We live and learn.

  • We Are Enough.

    October 19th, 2018 2:06 PM WE ARE, THOSE OF US WITH AGENCY, MEN ENOUGH. [W]eak men need false heroes, demigods, and gods to give them the approval they fail to obtain from others due to their thoughts, words, and deeds. They need false cults to find comfort in a fantasy of those like them who equally fail. As individuals some are weak and some are strong. As a host, as the brotherhood of warriors: in war, commerce, and truth, we are one, and as one, we transform others, ourselves, mankind, this world, and the universe to whatever heaven we desire. Leave the animals behind. Become the gods we imagine.

    WE ARE, THOSE OF US WITH AGENCY, MEN ENOUGH.

    Weak men need false heroes, demigods, and gods to give them the approval they fail to obtain from others due to their thoughts, words, and deeds. They need false cults to find comfort in a fantasy of those like them who equally fail. As individuals some are weak and some are strong. As a host, as the brotherhood of warriors: in war, commerce, and truth, we are one, and as one, we transform others, ourselves, mankind, this world, and the universe to whatever heaven we desire.

    lolz. The fact that the liberals don’t ‘get’ the ‘inner monolog’ observation as evidence they don’t get the function of inner monologs… the irony is painful.

    “Adults living in a scientific culture are more rational (and intelligent) than adults living in pre-modern cultures. For example, according to studies conducted in the 1960s and 1970s, even educated adults living in Papua New Guinea did not reach the formal stage. Australian Aborigines who were still living a traditional lifestyle barely developed beyond a preoperational stage in their adult years. Without a population that has mentally developed to the level of formal operations, which entails a capacity to think about abstract relationships and symbols without concrete forms, a capacity to grasp syllogistic reasoning, comprehend algebra, formulate hypotheses, there can be no modernization”

    Or a concept of reciprocal, negotiated sovereignty!

    Conceptualising and operating in such a paradigm is as foreign as colonising mars!

    The problem is that we (With Agency) simply cannot imagine the amount of time the left (lacking agency) thinks about inequality or status or being left behind. We just can’t imagine the obsession that they find in every moment. Their frame, constantly reinforced by some sort of rejection or other signal, or interpretation of some event as ‘being left out, or left behind, or less, or not rewarded for their contributions.’

    They can’t imagine how we can be so rational (they assume we have their psychological problems) but we can’t imagine how obsessed they are with their inability to obtain from others what they could obtain from parents by childish display.
