Hey Mods! Give Us Our Financial Forum!

[George Gordon]

Mods,

There have been some excellent posts on building business and ideas on financial freedom flowing abundantly through the 'Anything Else' forum lately. Why let those posts get filtered out with the rest of the 'Anything Else' crap? It's too important. Why not give us our 'Financial Forum'?

Remember the "Unusual Seduction Techniques" forum? That's been gone for sometime now. Why not add another forum? Also, don't you think that a Finacial Forum would be used a lot more than that one was?

After all, we have a 'Health' Forum. We need a 'Wealth' Forum too! It's the only thing missing from this site. It would keep me coming back here.

How many interested 'signatures' would you need to consider it?

To all others...

Use the rest of this thread as a petition. Tell the mods to count you in! Just leave a blank post, or a 'bump'.

Cheers!

!GEORGE!

Being a Don Juan is about improving yourself, physically, socially, mentally, why not financially as well. When you improve yourself woman will flock to you as a side effect. Being financially free, and having a abundance of money helps to achieve the goal of becoming a Don Juan. That is why I sign this petition for a finance forum. You guys should all do the same.

 

[diplomatic_lies]

Because there are already a gajillion sites dedicated to finance.

Or just go to your local chamber of commerce networking events, where you KNOW the attendees know what they're talking about.

Hey Members! Give Us Our Respect!

Members,

There have been a lot of crap posts lately on anything, mainly dumb stuff in the 'Anything Else' forum lately. Why not wait until people actually post decent stuff that they know about before it gets filtered in with the rest of 'Anything Else.'

Remember the 'Unusual Techniques' forum? It wasn't used that much. Same with 'Success Stories.' Why put out another useless forum?

After all, we have a 'High School' Forum. We need a 'Spamming Fool' forum too! That would make like either for the mods.

How many times must it be turned down?

Members

Blank posts are considered the same as spam.

Here's 33 million results for "financial forum". Knock yourself out.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=financial+forum

My opinion is that, for the most part, virtually everyone registered on this forum is in either high school, college, or recently graduated from college. With 17,000+ members the number of adults --- let alone financially successful adults --- is going to be abysmally low. The number of financially successful college-aged people is even lower. There might be a small handful of people that know what they're talking about, but the overwhelming majority is going to be authoratively stating crap that they know nothing about - stuff that, if it worked, they would all be rich.. but guess what... they aren't! Of course, we'll then have someone who listens to something they say to do, loses the little money he has and racks up enough credit to cause the bank to send in a hit man, and blame it all on "sosuave".

I wanted to see what kind of advice some of the people on the forum would actually give if there was a financial section. Here's a few examples of the sterling advice I found in a thread entitled "Tips for making cash?":

Then what's the point of having the "anything else" forum?

And they just deleted the Amway/MLM thread containing my excellent advice for stock trading. (don't do it) It appears that this is yet another web forum where the mods are far too eager with their censorship. I guess everyone needs a way to make themselves feel important.

From what I remember, wasn't your initial post a one or two sentence blurp in the wrong part of the forum?

Of course, you wouldn't make a new thread unless the subject mattered to you... so show us that it matters.

From this point on, threads lacking details, mainly those with only 1-2 sentences in the body, will be deleted as soon as a moderator comes across them ..

- taken from the sticky "Read before posting or your thread may be deleted!".

 

[undesputable]

There are no people in this site with the exception of some that can give you real financial advice....most people here wont even be able to give you women advice.

Go to another forum thats all about financial topics.

No, not at all. I'd quote it to show you, but I can't because it's gone. I was helping a guy - OpieJuan - sort out the stock trader trainee web sites, because I have a great deal of experience with them.

good idea, count me in

 

[diablo]

'Bible_Belt', to end the lecture on how 'wronged' you were, next time try doing a search for stuff like "amway" - you'd find threads like this where it has been discussed before... and since duplicate threads from people who haven't bothered searching first are deleted, 'nuff said...

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=68494

http://www.sosuave.net/forum/search...d=241095&sortby=lastpost&sortorder=descending

If you don't like the way the forum is being run then maybe this isn't the right place for you. We're just one little stop on a whole sea of places called the "internet". Maybe you should keep on sailing... that being said, let's get back on topic.

*edit - "getting back on topic" means not making more posts not relating to the initial topic of the thread.

I think explaining investment strategies and writing motivational posts about being financially independent are good.

But if it will merely amount to a rehash of Kiyosaki's philosophy, you might as well just direct people to the mother load at richdad.com

There's also the anger that comes with losing financial gambles. No one wants that coming through the board.

Not necessarily. When I joined my local chamber, there were nine people who knew next to nothing about running a business for every one truly successful person.

Find a good SCORE chapter - Service Corps of Retired Executives - they give free in-person counseling by people who in their working life were high-ranking executives or successful entrepreneurs.

Although I'm not sure that a financial forum makes sense, I do think that financial health and success are part of a well-rounded DJ.
And I've seen some really inspiring and interesting stuff related to money and business, particularly from BackBreaker.
What I've gotten from this site is that confidence and persistence (as in keep trying with different women, not haranguing the same woman repeatedly for a date) are what lead to success with the opposite sex.
But the sort of confidence that can spur one on to success with women can work with other areas of one's life, and (I think) vice-versa.
And let's face it - it can't hurt to have the cash to afford nice clothes, car, and a decent pad to take your date back to, right???

I hate to break it to you, but pretty much everything you read is going to be a rehash of Kiyosaki's philosophy. He didn't stumble upon some magical new formula for wealth. What he did was write a book about the same subject matter everyone else writes about that is easy to read and relate to. The mechanics of building wealth might shift over the years but the basic principles (which is what Kiyosaki writes about) remain the same.

And as much as I would love to see a forum dedicated to this subject, the people here who are against it are pretty much right- it will never get off the ground and even if it did there isn't enough real knowledge floating around to make it worth reading.

I do think some of the younger contritubers on this forum could use some serious advice on careers and finance. When some people on this board are serious considering pimping as a career option, I know there is a lot of ignorance about the real world. If I had more help when I was younger it would have saved me a lot pain and hardship.

Really it is just making a decision early on about what you want from life. It actually can be just broken down to a few things.

1. Careers
2. Education
3. Personal Goals
4. Finance Goals

While simple to state, making the actual decisions is the hardest to do.

I say Yay on the Financial/Business forum. That's basically the only reason I still come to sosuave I enjoy talking business with all those that are entrepreneurial. We also come from a unique place in regards to business success in life as men. Therefore share unique circumstances around our growth in business that we aren't gonna get at other business forums.

A tone could also be set of sharing resources, information etc that we find in our roads to our goals.

 

[George Gordon]

Mods,

"If you build it, they will come."

There may be some truth that in the beginning, there will be few guys who actually know what they're talking about. But don't you think it was the same way when sosuave first started in the 'womens' department? Even now, there are way more members on the board that are clueless about women.

In the same vein, wouldn't a Financial Forum start attracting a larger interest in the subject. Wouldn't it create an awareness in the younger guys? And wouldn't it also attract more knowledgable people?

After all, isn't the purpose of the board to learn? Doesn't it serve as a resource to get directions? And as always, it's up to the individual to reject or accept whatever advice they get by testing it.

Wealth is just as important as Health. And just because most guys are younger hardly means that they should remain ignorant about finances. Why waste time going to college to become an employee -- which is due to financial ignorance -- when a man could spend that same time and money learning financial literacy and how to build businesses and invest?

I don't know about you guys, but if I was aware of financial literacy when I started university, I wouldn't have even gone. Why? There would have been more important things to do.

What is a Don Juan? What kind of world does a man want to live in? Three things seem to make that condition possible:

-Communication (relationships)
-Health
-Wealth

The first two are covered here. Why not finish the equation? Why leave the direction hanging? Why not integrate all masculine directions?

If not, I resign my case. Take care all.

!GEORGE GORDON!
