Good advice from a 95 year old WWII veteran.

[RangerMIke]

I was at a VFW meeting last night where we honored the oldest member of our chapter. He gave an interesting speech after rising from his wheelchair, it was only five minute and I am now trying to get the video so that I can watch it everyday before I start work. He answered the question "What is the secret to a long and happy life?" His answer "Wake up every morning, look in the mirror and say to yourself 'Today I am not going to be a dumb@ss." Then went on to say that you can't change what has happen, you can only look to the future. The second thing was "Don't water dead plants." going on to say too many people waste their time and energy on things and people that will never give you the result you want. His final pearl of wisdom was "Eat spinach." Basically do the things you know you need to do but don't because you don't like it. He put it in much better words, but it was the best 5 minutes of advice I've ever heard. Some of you on this board really needed to read this.

Better advice than "Hit the gym and spin more plates"

I'm imagining 95 year-old Red Foreman giving the speech.

Better advice than "Hit the gym and spin more plates"

But the message is the same.

 

[HaleyBaron]

Hit the gym. Make mistakes. That would be my message.

Most people who bash that advice either can’t or won’t do it.Or both.

95 unscripted and rattled off good advice. Impressive to say the least. Cheers to that man. Thanks RM.

The answer to any problem a man has a woman, considering he has all his hair and good height, is ”the gym”

Its not:
- study harder
- get new clothes
- learn guitar
- buy a new house
- move to a new City.

It’s always ”the gym”. I had a six pack in my late 20s, girls probably could have cared less.

But it’s a good idea.

Gym is always the answer. I will take that to my deathbed. It just works.

You aren't far from the truth.

I've been hitting the gym since 21. The "hit the gym" response is accurate in a sense that It keeps you mind, body and spirit healthy. Its just not the end all be all. It keeps you focused, while doing something constructive and healthy.

The "hit the gym" advice is just a little out dated for the younger generation of dudes. It seems like the young cats nowadays don't even have the sense or insight to know right and wrong, let alone understanding in life their is never one answer. Gaining muscle doesn't automatically mean you will get women, but gaining muscle takes time, adversity and a strong will power, that after a few years of training should translate into other aspects of your life, making you a better man. This is what the young cats don't understand, and decades ago this type of info and insight into "hit the gym" phrase went with out saying. You can become a "better man" through other means, no doubt but lifting heavy things and gaing muscle is the maybe the easiest cause it should come naturally to any man.

"Wake up every morning, look in the mirror and say to yourself 'Today I am not going to be a dumb@ss."

I could imagine that the heroes like this that made it home had to do this thought process every day while in combat.

I used to hate spinach - and still do when it is by itself - but I have come to appreciate pasta dishes with a little bit of spinach.

I'm imagining 95 year-old Red Foreman giving the speech.

If Red Forman's character were real, he would be 94 today based on a December 1927 birth date. Red was under 18 when Word War II ended but did fight in the Korean War.

Red Forman

"Damn U.S. government?" If the U.S. government decides to stick a tracking device up your ass, you say, "Thank you! And God Bless America!"Red to HydeReginald Albert "Red" Forman is a main character on That '70s Show and That '90s Show. Red is a gruff veteran with a dry sense of humor who served...

Better advice than "Hit the gym and spin more plates"

Hitting the gym can help in sping more plates or getting an extended relationship with a woman.

@sangheilios would have the potential to be the biggest seducer among forum participants being as though he is a 6'4" guy with big muscles. Apparently, there's more to being a big time seducer than height and muscles.

Yeah , the 5,4 skinny guy is not gonna roll up like foutus and just die, he will trie to get pvssy using his charme, looks ,money ,charisma, connections, storytelling abilities, opportunity with the woman ect..

Sometimes we as men date a HB7 too , and act like we dont care about the HB10 anymore..(specially if HB10 doesn't show any interest)

I used to hate spinach - and still do when it is by itself - but I have come to appreciate pasta dishes with a little bit of spinach.

I like it all ways: Wilted in pasta, wilted in soup, creamed spinach, spinach in salad, out of the can, all good.

I've always seen exercise as a healthy habit to have, which is always a good thing, if you can get into the routine of it. Never thought much of it beyond that. Obviously for women, you're better off being in shape than not. But I've definitely never seen it as a magic pill. Maybe for some guys it is, but I've heard too many stories of guys who work out but still have problems with women. Everyone has their own individual issues, and they're not necessarily connected to the gym. Then there's the issue of women themselves...

Used to hate boiled spinach as a kid via mom, love it now via frozen spinach soufflé by a major US food manufacturer, even order the fresh variety on salads and cooked on pizza now …
