It's a funny thing about Hollywood and the entertainment business. There's a million people trying to become stars.....and then once you do become a star....many of them run right back in the other direction to escape stardom and that environment (i.e. johnny depp in france, demi moore in...

I'm 30, I started reading everything at about age 22/23/24. Tony Robbins, down the list to finance/investing, marketing. Like 100-150 books on many subjects. What they teach in school is garbage/pre corporate brainwashing. School is basically an indoctrination into making nothing and scraping...

As a corollary, you wonder what the goals are any more once you know the truth. -Everyone growing up is sold on the idea of the mcmansion, 2 cars in the driveway, the picket fence, 2 kids, 2 dogs. Cosmo, Readers Digest in your mailbox. What's the point, if the government is playing games...

I wasnt 100% coherent late last night when I posted, I'm not sure how it came out. There could be many reasons why you have to "play by the rules", you're tied down with obligations, mortgages, college classes, etc. Or family pressure, societal pressure. Not everyone can just get up and...

What are your long term goals? What do you want to be able to look back on, when, say, you're 35? I think 26 is still young, very young. We all think that we're "old", but really, 45-60 with grey hair and a pot belly is old. Under 40 isnt old anymore. What about, like bookstores, panera...

As you get older (I'm 30), I think part of you invariably questions the "rules" we've all been brought up to live by. The rules of, buy a home, raise a family, believe in your government, believe in certain institutions, believe the media, etc. I wont turn this into a political thread, but...

I use to be horrendous with women, invisible. The 90's were s***. I think it's true for a lot of guys here. I look back on that decade and think of all that happened...and what I did and experienced...uhhh..not much. The DJ stuff when I first got into it was a revelation. I came out of the...

Truman gave you some great advice, especially the line..."Women do not have a problem dating older if you don't have a problem dating younger." I'm 30, but more like 23 or 25. Playing video games, etc. I still look young, 23. The 2000's I think have been weird for a lot of people, in terms of...

I'll add my two cents. Social confidence. Social awareness. That was really the difference for me. Although I'm 6"2, 180.....you think, oh, it doesnt matter. He's tall. The 90's, pre this site and others, I couldnt do anything with women. If a hot girl showed up at my door in 1996 or 99 or...

I've had a similar life. Grew up middle class (dad went to work, mom stayed home...I know, rare in this day and age). Never really worried about money, we never missed a meal or anything. Life gets almost too comfortable, and you grow depressed, bored, dark. I think many people that have...

I think part of embracing humanity, is *not* focusing on dj/game all the time. Look at pictures on flickr of couples, or girls at the beach, thats humanity. Most people in the world arent focused on all this stuff. Acting human is not caring so much. They're able to do things without...

From my own experience, social skills, social awareness is what pulls girls. -Big difference between an 18 year old guy, who lives in a screen based life (whether video games, tv, internet), with little to no outside social world or social awareness.. -And a 22 or 23 year old guy, who is...

I've had a ton of interactions with women randomly...at college, at malls, on airplanes, saying hi to girls walking their dogs, etc. It's very easy, never even thought about cops or anything like that. If people are going to the cops, you're creeping them out. I dont think there's any other...

I was wondering if guys in other places had similar stories. -The recession, hard times...maybe. She talked about the budget cuts from her school, I didnt get the rest of it. But she never talked about money at all. Picture some college girl sitting next to you talking, with no idea shes a...

I haven't thought about this, very interesting. A couple of theories... -Many lesbian/bi women are bored with men. Tired of the games, drama, cheating. Tired of the losers. Women tend to be highly emotional and spur of the moment (of course generalizing). A sizeable percentage of the w4w...

Interesting night last night ;) I went out by myself, with no intention of doing anything. Went to an arcade, played Street Fighter II (after getting Street Fighter 4 the other day, wanted to compare it). I'm doing absolutely nothing, wandering around an outdoor type mall. I sit down on a...

Some other reviews... -Jay Abraham (this is marketing/sales). His stuff is killer....but you have to read/listen to it a lot, takes repetition. He's said...(paraphrasing) "its taken me 25 years working X hours a day to learn what I know...to think you can learn it in one reading is...

30 isnt what it use to be. I'm 30, I feel like I'm 22 or something. I think 20-25 years ago, things were more structured. You go to highschool until 18, go to college. Then masters, or phd. Then family or something. I dont know...I think guys with their head on straight, who can function...

Life is short and it's filled with a lot of distraction. But you have to keep moving forward, growing and expanding. This internet age has changed the game, in terms of having a traditional life. We're *not* living in the world where you go to school until 18, go to college for 4 years...

The country is too varied for a 1 size fits all answer.... -If you live in Kansas or Iowa. And you can rent an apartment on $10 or $15 an hour, you could move at 18 or 20. If you're past 22 or 24 and you can easily live on your own, then it's going to look bad. -If you live on Long...
