Are men ever going to act like men again? I'm seriously worried.

Was surfing youtube and came across this:

G.I. generation. Nice long interview. Notice how sharp his mind still is and how he is controlling the conversation/acting like a man. He is 90 years old in this video but still got it.

If nothing else watch from 11:00 to 12:00, shows how pvssy we are becoming compared to his generation.

I feel so out of vogue with modern women. I am beginning to doubt if modern life still offers anything to make one happy.

I have no idea where to go from here. When faced with women in this age of sassy women I don't know where to look anymore. Should I just not look at them? I have been so depressed that its brought so many people in my family down, because I have boxed in violent/destructive expressions that I cannot express in words.

Funny, I was in a restaurant last night and there was a man who was in his 90s, looked feeble, hunched halfway over, etc.

But when I talked to him and he turned around to look at me, those EYES. You could FEEL the power in those eyes. It made a strong impression. You felt, "woah."

Just like in this clip:

You might it's funny, you might think it's upsetting. But look into R. Lee Emery's eyes. There's not a bit of anger there. That is MASCULINE POWER (he was a drill instructor in real life btw).

Important distinction to make.

I feel like seeking these guys out and talking to them for a long time before they all die, even in nursing homes and etc. In 10 years most of the current surviving members of the generation will be dead.

^^LOL at your continued pvssiness. Why not just wear a dress already? LOL

The Greatest Generation still rocks hard. Here is the generation breakdown roughly:

Greatest Generation: born 1900-1924
Silent Generation: born 1925-1943 (today's old folks)
Baby Boomers: born 1944-1964
Generation X: born 1965-1979
Millenials: born 1980-

Best things about the Greatest Generation:
-They took NO SH1T.
-Went through the Great Depression which built character.
-Went through World War 2 and performed extraordinary heroic acts.
-Came back to the U.S. and built an incredible society from 1946-1970. Check out 50s automobiles. Diners. Drive-in movies. Motels. LP records. The fact that the only time we ever sent people to the moon was when they were in charge.
-Put women in their place after the manly women ("flappers") of the Prohibition era.
-Men got married in their 50s to much younger women and that was acceptable.
-Excellent dressers.
-They didn't talk like pvssies: http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?t=203112


But I believe we can be the next Greatest Generation.

I feel you on this one darky.

I was doing electrician work on this one jobsite a couple of weeks ago. The guy running the whole project is called the ''super'' this old dude was really intimidating. Tall white old dude he was 77 years old and still working. when he would looked at you he's stare was filth with fire. Seriously this has being the only other man that had made stare down other than my father. There was just something freaken intimidating he radiated power and dominance, then I found out he was a war veteran. Men like this are rare now this days.

Some of those old guys from WW2 have seen some gruesome fücking ṣhit and lived to tell the tale. Can you imagine one of these puṣṣy ass hipsters getting off the U-boats on Omaha beach? Think the beginning of Saving Private Ryan with a boat full of hipsters lol. It's a fücking joke.

Men are really pathetic nowadays. Most of them don't know how to dress, don't know how to groom, have zero class, and wouldn't know the first thing about charming a woman. Is this irreversible?

Based on this paragraph it sounds like you might be a woman?

Anyhow, the dilemma stems from our mothers. What a cruel twist of fate it is to be men and to have the first woman we ever met turn out to be the only woman on Earth who will EVER love us unconditionally. But it gets worse. Our mothers lied to us and told us that all women are like they are, that women are all good-hearted, loving people who would die for us if we just gave them flowers once in a while.

You forgot Generation Y (which starts around 1980). Millenials are the following generation.

Also, don't be fooled by "The Greatest Generation" notion. That was first generation raised under The Federal Reserve which formed in 1913, and that quickly got us into World War 1 (then the Great War). It also led to Allopathic Medicine (Big Pharma, chemical based only, demonizing natural medicine as Rockefeller bought out Harvard and Yale and called it 'Philanthropy'). Next was the Espionage Act in 1917 (taking away free speech), Prohibition (designed to make sure cars needed gasoline as they could have run on homemade alcohol). They then caused the Roaring 20's (inflationary policies) which led to the Great Depression (not called World Depression 1 as that would be a confession that we've had several more since). That generation then gave up all their Gold, supported making Hemp illegal (renamed Marijuana which was then an obscure term used to demonize Mexicans), supported FDR's New Deal and Social Security (treating citizens like taxable corporations). The Fed then got us into World War 2 (Pearl Harbor was a false flag of sorts to get us in) which the Greatest Generation fought thinking they were keeping us free (See Cold War, Vietnam, War on Drugs and War on Terror for more examples of pseudo-patriotism ushering in Fascism). By the time The Greatest Generation had kids the Federal Reserve owned the entire US media and we had Television, and years later Tom Brokaw coined the term "Greatest Generation" because (being a TV imbecile) he bought hook line and sinker that all of these atrocities were good things. And half of you morons agree. They should have been called The Most Gullible Generation. Not that the women weren't 100 times better then, but still. For you Douche Bags who support the Fed - know that when they started (their express purpose was to prevent inflation even though we had had deflation for 100 years) - Gold was $20 an ounce. Now it's $1700 an ounce (that's 8500% inflation and counting). Nice f*cking job assh*les. Know that 100% of your income tax (25% of your income) is used to pay the INTEREST on the NATIONAL DEBT - which is a bogus debt (they treat the printing of money like a cash advance) owed to about 100 Trillionaire offshore families who then tell us Bill Gates is the richest man with $40 Billion. They printed $15 Trillion (15000 Billion) in 2008 and wouldn't tell us where they spent it, and you think $40B is the richest man?? If you believe that I have oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. We can be the Greatest Generation alright - if we End The Fed.

 

[bigneil]

NOTE: The Greatest Generation did have a lot of things I admire:

"Lesson #4: Love Loyally

The men of the Greatest Generation took their marriage vows seriously. Brokaw wrote, “It was the last generation in which, broadly speaking, marriage was a commitment and divorce was not an option. I can’t remember one of my parents’ friends who was divorced. In the communities where we lived it was treated as a minor scandal.” The numbers bear Brokaw’s anecdotal evidence out: of all the new marriages in 1940, 1 in 6 ended in divorce. By the late 1990′s, that number was 1 in 2.

This was a time where there was no hanging out or “hooking up.” Men asked women on real dates, and had serious intentions in doing so. When a particular gal caught a man’s heart, he proposed, and they got hitched. And they were married for the next 60 years."

But I believe we can be the next Greatest Generation.

Just how do you plan to pull that off? Your profile says you are 22yo. The bulk of your generation that I've witnessed has struck me as the most pathetic collection of slackers ever.

-You are hooked on facebook which is no good other than for attention whoring.
-Your parents gave you everything.
-You sat on your a$$ playing video games when you should have been out mowing the yard.
-Your parents don't expect much out of you.
-Your women don't cook and won't clean.
-Your men couldn't fix something if they had to.
-If something breaks you throw it away and go by new.
-You grew up on sports teams where every one got a trophy and there were no losers. You probably didn't even keep score either. Didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings.
-Your parents acted more like your friend instead of your mom/dad.
-Your parents overloaded you in activities, in fact so many life became all about you while they were too busy to take care of themselves.
-You didn't have a job in high school.
-You probably drive some piece of schitt 40mpg car that your parents paid for.
-When you were a little kid, they threw a disney video on the tv and you plopped your a$$ in front of it and watched it over and over 3times per week.
-You live at home with your mom and dad.
-You have a hard time budgeting money and paying your bills on time.
-You carry credit card debt.
-You are all about instant gratification.
-Your eating habits suck.
-You will be a huge strain on the healthcare system as you age with high rates of obesity, etc.
-You are the generation of entitlement. Give me something for nothing!
-Hipsters are a segment within the Gen Y slackers. The term hipster was derived from "hippies". Hippies did nothing but sit around, smoke dope, and protest.
-You aren't religious, nor do you understand the value of family.
-9times out of 10 you take the easy way out.

So whats your plan to become the next GREATEST GENERATION? The people before you didn't have all of these strikes against them. Your generation just doesn't have what it takes to be GREAT. You lack the foundation.

I will help toughen them up by improving our collective culture.

I won't speak for them, but let me speak for myself:

-You are hooked on facebook which is no good other than for attention whoring. No I'm not; I don't have facebook.
-Your parents gave you everything. No, not really. In fact, my father abused me.
-You sat on your a$$ playing video games when you should have been out mowing the yard. Actually, I was out mowing the yard.
-Your parents don't expect much out of you. Bullsh!t. I was No. 1 in my class.
-Your women don't cook and won't clean.Mine will.
-Your men couldn't fix something if they had to. Many can.
-If something breaks you throw it away and go by new. That's because it's all cheap plastic crap and not built to last. Blame that on the Baby Boomers and the Chinese, not us. We only buy the crap.
-You grew up on sports teams where every one got a trophy and there were no losers. You probably didn't even keep score either. Didn't want to hurt anybody's feelings. I know, and every one of us who is grown now realizes that this was bullsh!t. Again, that was the genius of the Boomers, not us.
-Your parents acted more like your friend instead of your mom/dad. Nope.
-Your parents overloaded you in activities, in fact so many life became all about you while they were too busy to take care of themselves.Actually my parents are supremely narcissistic people.
-You didn't have a job in high school. Actually, I did.
-You probably drive some piece of schitt 40mpg car that your parents paid for.Bought my own car with no help from my parents.
-When you were a little kid, they threw a disney video on the tv and you plopped your a$$ in front of it and watched it over and over 3times per week.That is true. It gave me an appreciation for classic animation.
-You live at home with your mom and dad.Wrong again. I'm on my own halfway across the country away from them.
-You have a hard time budgeting money and paying your bills on time. I pay my bills on time and I have no debt.
-You carry credit card debt. No debt.
-You are all about instant gratification. No.
-Your eating habits suck. I eat eggs, broccoli, chicken, milk, beans.
-You will be a huge strain on the healthcare system as you age with high rates of obesity, etc. Let's worry about the baby boomers first.
-You are the generation of entitlement. Give me something for nothing! That'll change once we're all in the military.
-Hipsters are a segment within the Gen Y slackers. The term hipster was derived from "hippies". Hippies did nothing but sit around, smoke dope, and protest. Hippies were Baby Boomers.
-You aren't religious, nor do you understand the value of family. I am both.
-9times out of 10 you take the easy way out. Wrong. Better to do what is hard and necessary rather than what is easy and fun.

So whats your plan to become the next GREATEST GENERATION? The people before you didn't have all of these strikes against them. Your generation just doesn't have what it takes to be GREAT. You lack the foundation.

Bullsh!t. We will be great. America will be great again. Me and others like me will lead the way, and the rest will follow.

And the naysayers will be sitting around wondering how it all happened so fast.

Read this article from the Art of Manliness (get comfortable and relax- it's a long article but worth it):

Darth- I think I made my point. It was inteneded to be a generalization and it does have some merit as you alluded to in several instances.

I hope you do lead the way and make this country great like it once was. You've got your work cut out for you. I still haven't heard what your plan exactly is tho. Ambition without a plan for solution often leads to nothing being accomplished. Kind of like when somebody escapes their narcissistic parents by running off to another country. ;-)
