yuppaz is using a logical fallacy to be lazy. the fallacy being that if someone is to focus hard on their careers for an amount of time than by default they are going to end up being socially awkard or have a miserable social life, thus well i might as well have both so I won't neglect women beucase i don't want to be a non well rounded person
that's hogwash.
I personally believe and have seen many many times that guys that focus SOLELY on their career without also creating a healthy balance of social and romantic lives are very unhappy. They are skillful with making money (which is good) but not skillful with dating and friendship. THey are unbalanced as they have their drive and ambition cranking (REAL GOOD), but they don't have the areas that de-stress and relax you, make you feel like the effort is worth it in place (they got the yang, but they are yin-less). You need to aspire and move actively towards reaching your full potential, but you also need to keep your social skills
sharp.
I mean, I believe you mean well but this is bull****. this is written by someone who is hypothesizing about what it is to be successful.
first of all, the assumption that women is a necessary part of a man's life is bull****. I can ahve a wellb alanced life and be very much single and have no romantic interests.
When I was going through my period with my business, I mean i worked mya ss off but i also did some things for me. I learned how to play the piano, I took up learning more about historial subjects that I find interesting, I learned how to really cook, I had my mindless pleasures like my gamecube that i had a few games for or watching the sopranos which was big back then or atching law and order when it came on. I even ironed my one half decent outfit i had and took myself to the movies from time to time. I just did not do it with a woman.
see, in the long run, your point of view is actually worse than mine beucase you believe you have to have a woman to be "whole" and i don't. by the time i actually had money, i had developed interests and a life to the point i honestly, did not need a woman to make me happy. I knew ho to make myself happy and knew how to live alone because i had done it.
And beucase i did not waste all my idle time at Starbucks talking to girls, i actually was interesting, i could go to an Italian restaurant and order in fluent fluent beucase i picked up Italian, i could bring a girl over my house and casually play a few tunes on my piano that i had in my living room beucase i spent my time on me.
I don't know why your post pisses me off so much but it does. I supposed because if you just don't want to give up ass, just say look i don't want to give up ass, don't bring some trumped up bull**** to the table about how you don't want to be emotionally unstable, just keep it real.
what i find more ironic than anything, is half the post on this forum are guys asking the same god damn questiont ime and time again.. "how do i go NC i keep thinking about her" or "how do i pretend i don't care" or "how do I stay busy and make her think i am important"... it's like guys would rather learn how to pretend they don't give a **** than actually learn how to not give a ****, and you not give a **** by detaching from the game and working on you and your career and your ambions.
It's akin to saying something like "well I know a lot of guys who do not go to the gym and who are avg build and size and I know a lot of guys who go to the gym and are strict eaters and the ones who go to the gym never seem to really enjoy food and they never cut back and have fun and I never want to be like that so I will go to the gym every once in a while and not really atch what i eat and be happy with my half assed results"
when put in that perspective it certaintly does not pass the bull**** test... like my business.. yes there was a time when i would not touch anything bad for me, but after finally getting into shape and habving a body I deemed good enough after some inditial hard core dieting, i was in fact able to cut back and while i still eat healthy, I enjoy food, a quarter pounder when i take my son to mc donalds, a double decker taco every once in a while when my son has to have taco bell, some shrimp fried rice when i just have the urge for chinese, but i don't live on these foods. You can talk yourself into belieivng you are having more of a balanced life but balanced life does not bring results.
as donald trump said," If you're interested in 'balancing' work and pleasure, stop trying to balance them. Instead make your work more pleasurable."
balance is for pikers and dudes that settle for HB6's with big ties and horse faces.
my wife is freaking crazy about me and the driving force behind her attraction to me is her knowing damn well i will walk out the door tomorrow if she stops living up to my exceptions, i don't give a **** about being single.,
