Case in point: http://www.thenation.com/blog/169009/how-out-rapist This is disgusting. Two wrongs don't make a right. You don't get to be in contempt of court and not follow the directives of a judge because you consider the punishment meted out as too lenient. Anyways, brilliant post. There...

1) The guy is the best judge of whether or not he is a loser. Nobody knows us better than ourselves. We know what our own potential is and how best we are at living up to it. Professional success is important, and the more of it we have the better access we have to all sorts of good things, but...

You've been contemplating this for two weeks after being with her for five years. You mentioned that you're thinking about not moving forward to marriage. Maybe this is cold feet? I'm not saying don't break up with her, but DON'T blindside her. You do need to talk to her. You need to lay all...

Here's something else that I think the OP and others agreeing with him don't seem to get: unless you're Mark Zuckerberg, the Sultan of Brunei, or Warren Buffett, there is ALWAYS a bigger, better deal in terms of money and material possessions. You can be busting your @ss trying to get ahead, but...

Die Hard, I absolutely agree with you that it does not do any good to whine and endlessly wallow in self-pity when you are on the receiving end of something you consider unfair. What I will say is that in the immediate aftermath of someone cheating on you and leaving you for somebody else...

Not to dump on him or whatever, but he was probably typing it out on a smartphone.

That's fine, my purpose isn't to pile on a guy. Nobody's perfect. We all have stuff in our pasts that we're not proud of and we're striving to overcome. Just don't come at me like you're the teacher and I'm the pupil when you are far from together yourself.

Nevertheless, somebody that gets an "F" from the Better Business Bureau shouldn't be clowning on a guy that makes an honest living as a restaurant supervisor. Glass Houses and Stones and all of that.

I think his problem is that he is long-winded and a bit of a blowhard. He has strong opinions on everything, not just on the topics he is an expert in. You can be a master of a few trades, but not everything. Everybody has that one specific school of knowledge or field that they are experts in...

I think it's important to keep in mind that it's best to start off with School of Thought 2, do your absolute damndest to have a fulfilling and meaningful life that doesn't hinge on having a woman, get in shape, have hobbies, have a purpose and direction, etc. The point of School of Thought 1...

Usually somewhere between 1 and 2.

That's fine, but I don't even think that's the dynamic of what was taking place in this thread. That happens elsewhere on this site and in other threads, but it was a nuclear response to being on one side of an argument and instead of coming up with a better response to go "Well, you're all a...

Speak for yourself, but that is projection to say that everybody here is content with their station in life and does not aspire to do great things. What does posting on a messageboard say or not say about what we are doing when we hit the X button on our browsers? It's a good message to...

There's not enough to go on in the details provided for me to say the guy's a loser or not. Maybe he is, but it's kind of offensive to me to label a guy a "loser" because he hasn't accumulated as much material possessions as the next guy. What makes a person a loser? Is it a benchmark of things...

Nobody here has said anything like that. Nobody is denying that women value financial security in men or that it is even unfair that they do. It's part of the terrain. If you don't have a steady job, if you don't give off the appearance that you're going places in life, then you had better be a...

This is hilarious. Yes, "mature" is the first thing that comes to mind when reading about this chick. A guy with a supervisory position at a company in a local economy with double-digit employment "doesn't have his sh*t together." Rationalization hamster, much?

According to you, this guy is a supervisor at a nice restaurant at the age of 27. He is far from his peak earning potential and that puts him far ahead of most guys his age, especially in California that has an unemployment rate into the double-digits. How is he a bad long-term bet? Did this...

Absolutely. All women have hypergamous instincts, but I think the incidence of hypergamy is overstated on this forum and in the manosphere. Most women I think are in control of their hypergamy. It's one thing if you have enough game to pull a woman away from a committed relationship, but don't...

I agree. The story as written, the girl sounds like a real piece of work and the guy is just an unfortunate victim...or the branch swinging might have nothing to do with the guy's job or earning potential and maybe she just got bored and wanted something new, exciting and fresh.
