And I used the word assertive because it embodies the ‘aggressive’ nature of achieving ones goals with no confusion as to the violent connotation commonly associated with ‘aggression’.

Why are we trying to sound politically correct in this thread and why are we changing words around because one foreign guy won’t accept that “aggression” doesn’t mean violence is involved?

You’re correct indeed. Keep watching; the fact that it is repetitious does nothing to lessen the entertainment value.
Big hard men, all of them. And they must bitch constantly to be recognised. Gandhi didn’t lift shit, and sure as hell didn’t eat beef. Yet his impact on society as a “man” (read: intelligent, contributing human being) is far bigger than all of ours.
What defined him, and what defined other successful people was their brain. If you’ve got brain and braun, then good for you.
If you haven’t got the brain and thus must remind everyone of your braun, then you’ll always look pathetic.
-NOTE- not arguing on the word “aggressive” here. But y’alls conception of a “man” is the most seriously skewed thing I’ve seen in ages. Like you want to live in a fucking cartoon.[/quote]
Totally agree with you on this!
And regarding Ghandi, exactly right, is anyone going to pipe up with ‘Ghandi = shitty weak pussy’ ??
I think its just self justification/ self approval ?
I am interested as to the response, it could in all likelihood be one telling us to ‘eat more and lift ?’
What the fuck. I’m at the grocery store and i just want some god damned red meat in my diet but its all 10$ a fucking pound, when all the shitty soy garbage boxed shit is on deep discount. I’m coasting through the aisles in a sea of fat shitty weak people who stand in the god damned way.
I agree.
Why is it that all the shit in life that makes you strong independent and not take any bullshit condemned?
what? doesnt life do that anyway?
Why the fuck cant I grunt in the gym?
just respect others a little, or go to a different gym. your definition of gym and there’s are different.
Why the fuck do I have to even listen to one of my classmates talk to me about BOSU balls.
dont. ipod. ignore. let them believe that.
I should be allowed to just be blunt and tell them that they are wrong and why they are wrong.
yes, you should
But as soon as i fucking start to explain and disagree with them, they get scared and think im a verbal bully.
let them, you know the truth, thats what matters.
Why the fuck is Tracy Anderson alive? What the fuck is wrong with music on the radio today?
not all of it is that bad.
People fucking suck. Why is it that the skinniest little fucking teenage faggots in the gym take the most time at the water fountain? Why dont they let me take a sip before they take 10 god damn minutes to fill up their water bottle? I imagine smashing their faces into the spout every time i have to wait behind these motherfuckers.
You seem to have a lot of anger. personally (im not skinny, but i am a teenager) I made it my policy to let anyone who is just getting a drink go ahead of me at the fountain as i only use it for my water bottle. And is it just teens that do this to you or do u have something against youth?
This thread is for ranting and being insensitiveoh great., because im sick of smiling and wearing khakis and being nice to people who need to get fucked. I cant even wear my Pantera shirt to college without people in my program thinking im some sort of serial killer.
cuz their dumb.Pantera’s in my workout playlist also.

you know, I just don’t buy that whole poor people are fatter because of the food argument. Beans are cheap. You dont have to eat like a bodybuilder. I would reckon that TRUE health food (not fake organic boxed bs) is the cheapest food in terms of nutrition quality. How much honestly does it cost per week to eat 2000 kcals a day of canned beans, oats, eggs, beef roasts, tinned tuna, spinach and broccoli etc.
true. tuna’s just about always on special here.
Its not that they can’t afford healthy food. It’s that they are fucking stupid about nutrition, and impulsive and emotional when it comes to food. Stop having so many kids before you can support them. Stop smoking a pack a day. Stop buying 10$ fast food combos and 80$ bar tabs. Stop buying those hip hop fashion overpriced clown uniforms. Wow! all of a sudden you have 50-60 bucks a week to buy the bare basics.
I agree with all of this
If anything they should be thinner because they cant afford as much food.
If you are makeing minimum wage, It should be bus pass, apartment, home made food, library card and pre-paid phone minutes.
But in reality its 98 civic with an ugly bodykit, mcdonalds, pack of smokes, and a blackberry with a data plan with a 100$ ed hardy shirt or whatever the fuck.
i agree with all of this
I know I’m going overboard, and not everyone is like this, but its a god damned rant thread.
In regards to this violence thing? a violent man is not a fucking Alpha Male or whatever the hell you want to call it. Its false machismo, emulation, insecurity. I probably have some degree of it in me, which I’m trying to get rid of.[/quote]
And finally, I 100% agree with you on this last part.
I post on BB.com (I know, I know) and people have the dumbest view of “Alpha Male” there. It’s truly retarded.
if you live out west (and if you don’t, you should), you can get buffalo for about $6/lb butchered if you buy the whole beast. grass fed, comes with the pelt. Better have a big freezer though… just look in the classifieds in any newspaper in wyoming

Have you not read any of his former posts? The whole ‘Phd’ thingy he has compared with some of his views on society aren’t exactly found in stupid people.
Attacking peoples characters on the internet, rather than their opinions however…

He is not trying to be politically correct, he was trying to use the proper word for the given situation. Proper definition be damned and all!
I don’t think the scientific community cares what YOU think of the definition of aggression is. Aggression involves anger, hatred, rage etc… You mentioned Gandhi before, I am pretty sure he was neither of those.
You are using the definition of aggression the same way people throw around the use of steroids, aka this is like a rocket launcher on steroids. Obviously not the same thing as being on steroid, just a way for media to describe something.
If you read my posts earlier, I clearly clarified that I understand the difference you are trying to mention, but you are missing the point of the real use of aggression in a stressful environment. You don’t have to be an aggressive baboon to be a man!
Also maybe it’s the place where I live, but I don’t see that many lazy people not achieving much with their lives. The old folks have made enough money to retire and play golf all day, the young college grads are pursuing a career that will bring them a decent income. The rest are the common people who work hard but with no end goal in mind. Which is fine, they made that decision, not you! So don’t worry about it.
If people had the discipline or resources to eat better, they would be resourceful enough to get a better job, and then they wouldn’t be poor. The reason many people are both poor and fat is because they are not well equipped in the head, not because of food cost.

Totally agree on useing your mind and it being important the first step is learning how to read.
Seems like 25% of the people in here didn’t read any of what is posted and is just argueing against some random shit ( starting violence, pushing people) that NO ONE is advocating (except for that one retard talking about the rows)
Everyone READ the thread we explained what we mean by aggresson and by manliness and what we do and do not advocate it’s just rehash as far as the topic of aggression and manliness I am done posting about it it is all already in the thread.
What it is is anti-masculinity, which is what we are arguing against in society, anytime the word man masculinity or aggression is used and any concepts related to it, it is immediatly painted as bad evil and oppressive regardless of what you say.
one last time READ WHAT IS WRITTEN NOT WHAT YOU EXPECT TO BE WRITTEN.
To the PC parents dude I see your point and assertive is a good word regarding confrontation. But overall the proper word for what we are discussing is aggression.
These are the things we are arguing against aggression being seen as purely a negative word and manliness being seen as a negative oppressive thing as well. So not useing the word aggression is the exact opposite of the goal.
Ps. alot of mango lovers in this thread lol

Hi, I’m Donovan. I just want to point something out. You seem to be confusing ‘aggression’ with ‘violence’. Those two are not the same thing. Did you say that English is not your first language? How much sense does it make to argue about meanings of words with those who know no other language? Just a thought. [/quote]
Yes, we all know that only speaking one language is the ultimate sign of intelligence.

Now if you compare our great nation (Im talking about the US of A…and to a lesser extent,Canada) We havent completely succumb to a feminine society,were more at a equilibrium. Compare Sweden to say…Saudi Arabia. Now,both countries are in good standing but are completely different in ways of ideology and politcal stances. Idelology,Sweden takes a leftist approach to many issues concerning the politics of its nation. With the progression of technology and “womens rights” we learn that they have to sacrifice the masculinity of male to progress as a nation. (This is because Leftist ideas is,in nature,feminine) /quote]
What do you know about Sweden? We stopped progressing a long time ago, mainly because of leftist ideas, which are in no way feminine. No party has the guts to propose ideas that are not insanely leftist and we are stuck in a system where people wan’t money from the government without working. We have the highest taxes in the world, which has scared off all the rich people and their companies and made the country poorer. We can tolerate athletic or artistic excellence, but the school system’s only real function is to store children for 10 years.
Not what I’d call progressing as a nation.

In what way? We’re taller, healthier and we know more languages.
Any international legal dispute involving one part suing the other for damages is if possible moved to the states because your pussified legal system overestimates the value of deterrence. When Swedes sue, they get reimbursed for what they actually lost, but Americans somehow need millions of dollars. This turns you into pussies by rendering you unable to serve hot coffee, put salt on a hamburger or treat a patient without fear of making a mistake.
But I might have missed something, please tell me how you meant.
And two grown men arguing about the meaning of a word? That is worth a rant thread of its own.
The delicious red meat cost so much beacause people want it and the grocery store knows it. They also know that no one wants the tofu shit and that its cheap as hell to produce. I believe the impitence in our culture can be traced to laziness/ lack of emphasis on individuality.
No one bothers to put the extra effort into thinking for themselves. Its easy just to buy into whatever is fed to you through the TV/radio instead of going out and learning and discovering on your own. Kinda sad when you think about the wealth of knowledge available to people today vs. just 20 years ago.
This is retarded. For some reason, we have some misguided people conflating violence and aggression. Humorously, they are aggressively advocating that that is the case, yet are doing so without violence. They have proven themselves wrong.
For some reason we also have people strawmanning the shit out of others. Who is advocating that a man has to be buff? I didnt see that post. They are saying a man should be aggressive (gandhi was), assertive, and full of testosterone (gandhi was). He was really only skinny because he REFUSED to eat. I think that should be noted.
In conclusion, grow up. Actually listen to what people are saying (typing) so an actual dialogue could begin.

I would like to point out the reliance of guns by youth and adults today. Fights now often end by someone saying, “o yeah, i got 9mm that says your not gonna fight me” or “guy goes to get a shotgun out of his truck”. Gangs fight with guns now to win by fear.
My point is, what ever happened to a solid fist fight, 10-20 years ago thats how things where settled among tough guys at school. Now everybody has a pistol somewhere, wtf is going on. On the same topic, what happened to one on one fights? Everybody getting beat up by a gang of people, nobody can handle their own problems anymore. A kid wanted to fight my brother one day over a girl and brought 3 people! Luckily i came in the car, and none of those other kids ever came out of the car. But, then again i wasnt planning on helping my brother unless the kid was completely wailing on him, because my brother needed to learn to solve his own problems. In other words if my brother couldnt back up his words, i would tell him, “you better either start working out with me or stop starting shit with people”.
i still had more in me but: end rant.

Yup - it’s pretty scary how quick kids today resort to a gun.
When I was a teenager, if you scrapped with someone you used your fists, and when it was over the loser had a few bruises - kids today shooting each other over the slightest bullshit, and when it’s over someone’s dead. You want to talk about being a pussy? Bringing a gun to a fistfight is being the ultimate pussy…
