Andy, it’s not self-centered at all. I think it’s important that you have a support system that you can access when things get tough. I’m not sure what you mean by “cracking,” but if you mean got sad or overwhelmed over the things you’re seeing and hearing, I’d say that’s normal and not weak at all. If it felt more like anger, I would still say you shouldn’t worry about weakness, but should think about another line of work so everyone will be safe.
What is your job?
Also, remember that you can always do cardio. A long run or climb on the treadmill (or outside) can do wonders for working things out of your system.
I have to get this off of my chest- I just made a big lean burger seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic, then slathered the bun with lemon hummus. It was awesome.

Hmm. I made soup; beef veggie. It was pretty good but I don’t have strong feelings about it.
I bought a pair of cool boots and some nicely-on-sale winter outdoor gear today, as well as some girly smelly lotion, and I do have strong feelings about those things, though.

Good. A man should feel nothing. If he must feel anything at all it should be only pain. Do you make groans of discomfort when forced to action, telling of aching limbs that have seen many years of battle? That’s the only feeling that’s allowed.

Plumber is coming over this morning because my washing machine has been freezing or something. It means I have to shower instead of work out and I’m miffed. While I want the washer to work, yesterday it thawed for a bit so I washed every possible thing and now have plenty of clean clothes and freshly washed linens. What I don’t have is a long run on a rare work day without an early client.
Um, you dont seem to understand how this cad thing works.

I think I do! [/quote]
No, because if you did you would know that you have to bang Iraq guy to be even remotely caddish. [/quote]
But Iraq would have felt perfectly happy if I had banged him, and in fact I’m guessing he’d have preferred it. [/quote]
I guess what I am trying to say is, if all women played it the way you play it I would have no problem with women whatsover.
Most dont. [/quote]I have strong feelings of revulsion. I’m not enjoying processing them.

Well, I am very interested in hearing what men should represent and provide with a healthy emphasis on what she thinks she would bring to the table to deserve it?

Did I say that she was talking about moving here? She’s got nothing holding her there and she’s ready for a change. I feel panicked every time I think about it. I wonder if her motivation is that there seem to be so many good guys here or that I somehow have magical access to them.
[/quote]
you do know that if she moves near you, maybe down the block, and she doesn’t find her “perfect man” that it’ll all be your fault? she’ll say that you talked her into moving and all her friends are far away.
“I can’t believe you wanted me to move here! you just like showing off all you boyfriends! you’ve ruined my life”!

No, I’ve already decided that I’m going to have to tell her that it’s stressful for me and I’m not ready for a visit, much less a new neighbor (I assume she isn’t thinking to live WITH me!).
She probably wants to try to steal my awesome Hockey guy.

Update: My house is under contract. I am feeling great.
Thanks for letting me share my feelings.[/quote]
Got through the inspection with flying colors. Option period still in effect till Christmas Day 11:59pm, but looks like we are moving forward on the closing of January 17th.
Feeling great and relieved. Now I can actually put a contract on my new house where my wife, three children, a cat, and I can live.
Thanks again for letting me share my feelings.[/quote]
That is great news D. Good luck in the coming weeks.
[/quote]
Another Update: Selling of my house is complete, and the funds are collecting interest (no matter how small in this market) till I close on the new house. The stress is starting to go away, but will not go away 100% till I am in the new house.
The appraisal on the new house came in under what we offered for the new house. We asked the sellers to lower the price to the appraisal. They agreed. Saved us $15,000 off the purchase price. We are ready to close.
Right now squatting in my in-laws empty house with my family of 5. No TV and two children 5 and under. We are getting creative to keep them busy.

I find that on a place like the Red Pill Reddit, I adopt a different persona than on T-Nation, not even on purpose.
Its just that when I read that someone has discovered that Dark Triad psychopaths get laid a lot and tries to get as close to being a psycho that he can be, I am like “no dude, noooooooooo…”…
I am not necessarily saying that they are taking it too far, for most of them it is just a phase, but I understand Ross Jeffries when he says “that giving AFCs this kind of information is like supplying chimps (or kids?) with dynamite”…
I dont want to be the voice of reason.

PS: Plus, I hate cheap misogynysm. I earned my alleged credentials the hard way.
You and Powerpuff could team up and be like a dynamic duo of inside->out makeovers.
[/quote]
We totally could!
I love my job. [/quote]
We could have some radio show where people call in, but I suspect we’re both a little too mellow to be successful at this. We’d need a Simon Cowell type person to get mean with people. You know how Dr. Laura cuts people off before they even tell their story, and starts telling them off? I don’t think either of us are that type.
