But
@guru1000 will tell you the LTR market is "booming" while he is DIVORCED and continues to stay unmarried while constantly "dumping" most women he dates lol.
@BeExcellent will tell you that you only need to "think positive" and do extensive "vetting" and the earth, moon and stars will align perfectly for you. Too easy! She is DIVORCED as well and remains SINGLE.
LOL.
Over the years I've learned the following about people in society:
-
Most people will tell you what you want to hear in order to make you feel good
-
Some people will tell you what they want you to believe in order to manipulate you
-
Few people will tell you the truth
@BeExcellent is like most people, her focus is to spare your feelings and cause you to have hope for tomorrow. As a result, she has a filter for all of her advice and it's very similar to the "Bambi" filter, where if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. Her entire focus is to make you feel better about yourself and better about life in general.
@guru1000 is like a snake oil salesman, his entire purpose is to fulfill whatever agenda he's established coming into the discussion, which most of the time centers around some sort of manipulation or getting you to do something that HE wants you to do. Remember in the Marriage thread, Guru said that his mission for the discussion was to "turn Sosuave into a pro-marriage site". That's why when he clearly lost the debate, he continued to shift his positions, shift to discussing Tenacity wanting to kill women, and do anything possible to not admit to losing. This is akin to that snakeoil saleman who will not take "no" for an answer, literally stands there "overcoming objections" and you have to dial 9-11 to get this piece of shyt out of your office.
@Urbanyst and Tenacity are the truth tellers. Straight, to the point, to the facts, to the data, to the critical analysis, to the cost/benefit ratio, TRUTH tellers. No bullshyt. No smoke and mirrors. No trying to stimulate good feelings. No trying to sale you something. No trying to manipulate you into doing something. Just straight TRUTH. For example, in the Marriage thread, I provided 4 SOLID reasons why a man would get married, even though I'm not in favor of marriage at all. But I also detailed how those 4 SOLID reasons won't even apply to over 90% - 95% of men on the market.
