@Grewd nice post, can we continue this discussion, if you don't mind? I want to ask you some follow up questions....
I just had to learn what I do and do not have power over.
So how do I keep my cool? It's superior to anger. Why don't I care? I do care, but I limit it to things worth caring about that won't be a waste of energy. The rest is not within my power to change, I know and respect my limitations.
As you know, I routinely refer to many "teachings" on the Manosphere as cartoon shyt. One of them being the aspect known as "keeping the frame". But with the concept of keeping the frame, this one little concept teaches Men that in some form or fashion.......we DO have some level of "control/influence" over the behavior of other women, even if said control/influence might be limited and might even be temporary. The concept teaches us that in some form or fashion, even in this feminist/gynocentric society, we can in some fashion "shape" a woman's attitude and behavior.
Let's assume that the "keeping the frame" concept is an actual true concept.
Would not this mean that your theory of us not having the "power to change" various aspects of the social/dating world today, be inaccurate? What if Grewd.....we as men collectively across the country......established a new "frame"? A new rule? A new way of operation? Where basically we started to say collectively:
- We will not tolerate disrespect, shyt tests, raising another man's multiple kids, a woman getting overly fat, a woman becoming overly bytchy, etc.
- We will not tolerate an out of control Family Court, we are firstly going to opt out of any participation within it (no marriage and no children creation) then we are going to march, protest, and use our political power like hell to change it.
- We will not tolerate any double standards with women, where on one hand they want to be Feminists and say we are all equal, then when it comes to dating, they want doors held open and meals paid for.
- We will not tolerate a woman treating a piece of shyt thug/deadbeat man like gold, while treating the BEST and brightest men in our global economy as worthless dogs JUST BECAUSE he refuses to do whatever she wants.
What if
@Grewd, we as Men.......came together.......and said we aren't going to take it anymore?
You see, you say we don't have this power to change this stuff and it adds to my frustration, because I know we do and I know you guys BELIEVE that we do as well on some level. After all, you believe that "keeping the frame" can help influence/control a woman's behavior, so what if we as Men established a collective national "frame" with the above bullet points as its foundation?
Your analogy is not accurate to what I'm talking about. If the house next door is on fire you CAN do something about that to prevent it spreading to you. What you're actually wasting energy on is a house on fire on the other side of the city, there's not a lot you can contribute with regarding that. It's for other people to handle.
Okay, now let me ask you a question. If Banks in a city located 2 hours away from me, are ripping people off with bad loans, signing them up with credit cards they didn't authorize, and doing a lot of other unethical shyt......and it gets into the news (the fire on the other side of the city)......what makes me THINK this might not spread to Banks in my neighborhood? Would not people be outraged over this (even if they lived 300 miles from said city) due to Banks in their neighborhood potentially doing the same thing and wanting to seek JUSTICE to stop the perps in said City, but also to de-motivate any potential perps in their own city?
Another wise thing to do is to remove yourself from the sources of your frustrations, at least long enough to clear your mind and calm down. Then you can go back and take another look at it, maybe you'll get a refreshed perspective of it that's more functional to live with.
Sir, let me tell you something.......I didn't just start dating women. I've been dating women pretty consistently over the last 17 years (since the age of 16). Over those 17 years, I have watched, analyzed, and just taken note, of as MEN, how much flat out retarded shyt we allow these people (women) to get away with it. It's mind-boggling. It's as if we are so pvssy-controlled today, that all we care about is making sure we get a piece of ran through/STD-filled pvssy, to where a woman's personal behavior choices don't matter! As long as she is giving us some pvssy, we are good!
I might be the only guy in America that doesn't understand that concept. What they are doing is wrong
@Grewd, our families have been destroyed in the black community due majorly in part to decisions by black women since the 1970s. This is a FACT. You want me to just say fvck it, have a Coke, and keep smiling? I can't do that man.....
