Why Men are Dumb

If you show up with a six-pack of Magner's, the panties come right off

All of this shit about whose the real man pisses me off. It's just balls. Retarded women like retarded men.

It's just not the white male's world anymore amirite.

I don't think this is really that big of a deal. Just because a woman gets security from the state or from being financially independent, doesn't mean she wants flings and won't settle down. I think it depends on the individual.

I welcome you to go exception hunting. It will be a long hunt with little to show for your efforts.

 

[Dak]

She provided herself with her own security, but wasn't off having flings.

So you don't have an exception, unless by "supported herself" you mean drove herself down to the appropriate bureaucratic buildings instead of using mass transit.

 

[Dak]

What I meant was she had a job and paid for bills and school and stuff. She provided her own financial security.

I'm not talking about those with the fortitude to go it alone (although the fact that your mother was the man in your life makes perfect sense), and that sort of perspective is lacking in the the US in this era. I'm assuming your mother immigrated? Also makes sense.

(although the fact that your mother was the man in your life makes perfect sense).

As someone who was largely raised by a single mother and an older sister, what is it that you're implying here?

My mom immigrated from South America.

Coming from (most likely) a much more conservative culture can restrain tendencies. Also, being an immigrant means one may or may not know about the various gimmedats available. If one is an illegal immigrant, even knowing may not be enough.

My self esteem, behavior, ability to make friends, and ability to control my emotions/stress level are all perfectly fine. While it is very important for young men to have male role models in their lives, that doesn't mean they can't learn some of the same lessons from their mothers. I learned more about self-reliance, perseverance and determination in the absence of my dad. All I learned from him was fear and discipline (the latter being perhaps the only useful thing). He was always there in the background, waiting in the wings, which I suppose isn't necessarily bad -- letting me do my own thing. The one piece of advice I ever remember him giving me is "The two things you don't fuck with are Jack and Coffee." He's a lone wolf. He lives in the middle of nowhere Texas and relatively keeps to himself. I wouldn't necessarily call his outlook on life "sunny", but that's mostly due to his line of work. Yet, his father was very actively involved in his life, and my dad idolized him. Anecdotal evidence abounds...

Yeah, my dad was around but that's about as far as it went. I probably didn't learn much from him or my mother. There can be other role models to step in, but for many boys there isn't anyone else to step in, or at least step in positively. Plus, as society becomes more fragmented, there may simply be no one capable of providing actual mentorship, even if someone is "around". Of course, nearly everyone thinks they "turned out alright" (myself included). Kind of like "Don't you know? We're all innocent here".

It's like how humans naturally crave sugar and fat but not everyone rockets their way to lifelong obesity after their first milk dud.

I loled. Semi-unrelated note: The West has an obesity problem.

 

[Dak]

My point is that not everyone does, though. Humans like more things than food and sex and won't necessarily overindulge given the chance, though some people obviously do.

No one said everyone. However, those who do not are increasingly an exception, as the culture is built around consumption and in general vulgar hedonism.

Over the course of the 33-year study, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in adults in the US and Canada – the highest-income countries in North America – rose from 50% to 65%, achieving the highest prevalence observed in all of the GBD regions examined. For children, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Canada and the US combined rose substantially, from 19% to nearly 29% over the study period.

Key findings:

• More than 50% of the world’s 671 million obese live in 10 countries (ranked beginning with the countries with the most obese people): US, China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Egypt, Germany, Pakistan, and Indonesia.
• In high-income countries, some of the greatest increases in adult obesity have been in the US, Australia (where nearly 30% of men and women are obese), and the UK (where around a quarter of the adult population is obese).
• Today, 2.1 billion people – nearly one-third of the world’s population – are overweight or obese. The number of overweight and obese individuals in the world has increased from 857 million (20%) in 1980 to 2.1 billion (30%) in 2013.
• From 1980 to 2013, the prevalence of overweight and obesity in children increased by nearly 50%.

Not sure how McDonalds is pleasurable, even to a starving person. Maybe Del Taco or something would be a better substitute. Also, Reddit is AIDs.

I agree with basically Vimana is saying here. Delayed gratification is one of the greatest indicators of real-life success. This is why people absolutely should judge people for the number of sexual partners they've had, or for their weight.

I agree with what you're saying. I don't think Vimana is saying that people should judge though. That's what I'm saying.

i'm probably dumb because i just wanna stick my dick and tongue in female holes then gtfo and have a beer. i can't fucking stand conversing with women. nothing they say can hold my interest for more than 10 minutes. women are dumb. even smart women sound dumb to me cuz i don't give a shit about anything they have to say.

Well, I mean that I agree with him regarding the "red pill" philosophy and such, but I agree with you that it's a serious and growing problem. I was just sort of going off on a tangent to bring things back to slut shaming and manhating because it's fun. Anecdotally, my obese students and peers are never at the top of the class, and generally have shittier study habits probably because their parents never taught them restraint. It's harder to judge excessive promiscuity though, at least without knowing people better.

Promiscuity often catches up later, and is often aided by discipline elsewhere. Difficulty managing weight is usually/has become an immediately visible issue. As it relates to intellectual performance, it becomes a double edged sword. Poor self discipline affects both eating/exercising and study habits. In addition, being obese/eating poorly makes it more difficult to put in the appropriate effort for success at school.

Severe lack of father figures/male role-models is one of the biggest problems in poor black communities from what I can tell.

Rap culture combined with the welfare mentality has poisoned the majority of the wells.

no one gives a fuck about them after they've given them a fuck.
