Ironic how they call them "smart"phones when they’ve done nothing but make people infinitley dumber.
I guess the feeling is mutual then isn’t it?
I just want to know when we are going to start arguing about cars and horsepower again…

Come to think of it, lifting has made me mean. I used to be nice, and now I’m mean. So mean. Dammit. I’m sure it’s womens fault, though. I will promptly remove all womens. To complete the experiment, I will continue to lift, though, in order to isolate the cause. If I continue to be mean, I’ll stop lifting and see if that fixes it. That’s called a DOE (design of experiment). I’m a test engineer; I know these things. This is the only way to know if it’s lifting or womens. Trust me.

Well, I trust you completely and I think there’s nothing wrong with your plan.
BUT
OP is a mean fucker and doesn’t lift. So does lifting turn him more mean? or is it maybe, like, an inherent personality trait or something?
Just spitballing here.
Lot’s of women are like this to men they don’t like. This isn’t just in regards to romantic interest, but it’s amplified in that context.
It’s real easy to see the difference as a third person observer. If a guy is trying to chat up a woman that is not interested in him, her responses will be short, she won’t be facing him for most of it, she won’t be smiling or laughing much. If the woman is interested, basically every thing she does is the opposite of what I said about the guy she isn’t interested in.
Maybe you think women are cunts because they don’t see much in you that they like? Maybe try to figure out ways to have things about you women do like. Working on social skills for example can help (especially if you are currently a negative person). Having style, or being in shape can help. Finding women with similar interests.

A man talks about “porn in real life moments” and suddenly gets guys trying to message him privately. 
Haha.
I hope you can at least remember yours dude. 99% of my escapades were clouded so much by alcohol and drugs they may as well not have happened. All that shit did was make me feel lonely.

For some, yes.
We probably agree on more than you think, though I don’t let my criticism for people generally to not let me see individual variation. For example, I can log onto Instagram, turn on the television, tune into the news, listen to gossip, or go to Main Street in my town on a weekend, and then, I think, reasonably ask, “What the hell has gotten into women these days (or even some men)?”
I do know the answer to that, but I don’t allow my conclusions to cloud my recognition of some good people out there.
This reminds me of another guy offline I spoke to, who said, “But bro, most women suck these days.”
My response: “I guess you’ll have to ignore most women and try to meet one that doesn’t suck.”
Him: “Oh, you’re doing the NAWALT (not all women are like that) thing.”
Me: “Right. If that weren’t the case. I would not even bother getting a woman.”
Bro, these conversations take a wild turn because they usually start off with other men who are eager to help the original poster who comes across as some adrift nice guy, only for the OP to turn around and spew nihilistic mumbo jumbo, or even insult others.
One womanless guy who pulled this even said later in conversation about parents and their children, “Your kids will turn out as useless as you!” which is perhaps a comment that should stay on the internet for his and others’ well-being. In this thread you said married men are idiots, which I’m not offended by and just attribute to generalized male weirdness of the current day.
How are people supposed to react to this?
@tlgains I think I might make a new email for people who want to contact me without using their IG and FB accounts. I’ll let you know when I do.
Keep in mind, I only give very generalized advice if it’s requested, and as I said elsewhere, I’m not an expert on life or particularly wise. I’m just someone with life experience, observation, and hefty consumption of content I’m interested in. And keep in mind, it’s not like my interest in some topics started from a good place. I think it would be unusual for a man who comes from money and an intact home, attracted women easily from the start, and was popular to start questioning the world around him.

You come across as a very grounded man, and I respect that, hence why I like listening to what you say.
I mean that in a non kiss-ass way too.

Thanks.
I was kind of a dick when I was 6’5/170. I was insecure about myself and used to talk shit, backstab, etc.
Once I hit like 185, I kind of became more of a dick. I had a little bit of definition but was insecure.
I’m now at 220 and I’m at the nicest I have ever been in my life. Just jolly, well fed, and confident. I never really feel threatened, so I’m just nice all the time until I have to actually stand up and intimidate someone because they got out of line.
With yourself doesn’t count, lol
I mean, if we’re being pedantic here about the thread title, I think the key term is “turn.” Does that imply that one wasn’t mean before, and now has been “turned” the other direction, to mean?
“Mean” is also a pretty broad, ambiguous term.
Honestly, I’m out of my element here. If he starts leaking hydraulic oil, give me a call; I can help with that. Otherwise, it’s all you, bro.

You basically summed up EVERYTHING that’s wrong with the world today
I mean, I could’ve gone on, but I hope I got the point across. This isn’t an excuse to get pessimistic, though. Previous times had their own unique struggles for men. I easily pick today over the past, especially with my unique circumstances.
I ESCAPED all of this”. See, even you know it’s a bad deal.
If your goal is to have a wife, then escape is a good way to put it since you almost always have to go through the hook up culture minefield. I was lucky in that I met my wife young as her first bf and it was the smoothest sailing ever from there.
That said, if you truly enjoy hookups for the sake of them, then modern dating culture is awesome. My best friend basically just works, plays sports and gets laid, so NYC hookup culture is the best thing ever for him haha. All depends on your goals. He’d probably kill himself if he was monogamous haha.
My wife and I met at Jimmy John’s haha. Mid sandwiches at best, but it has a special place in our hearts since it was our first meeting spot.
A joke I’ve heard about size and fighting is that size helps more than small guys want to admit, but less than big guys want to admit. Small guys will point out how Royce Gracie won the 1st UFC, but big guys will point out how Bob Sapp almost literally killed Big Nog in PRIDE.
Dammit, I miss fighting so much! Haha.
