Being A Guy These Days

[oakzap425]

...Right...

 

[psychocheeseman]

For a while in my 27 years of existence, I cared about what people thought about me. I almost got expelled from my junior high because of it. I then made damn sure not to get in trouble again, so my freshman year I never said a word. As a result, I failed Speechwriting in that I wrote speeches but refused to speak them.

In my college years I did talk, and refused to play whatever "game" women wanted to play when I asked them out. I lost count as to how many times women said no, so I just fluffed it off and continued on with my life. I'm 27, single, and quite content with my one bedroom apartment though I would like a better job so I could move to Illinois for more TV coverage of the Cubs, Bears and University of Michigan football.

i'm confused are you saying its hard to be a guy? or hard to be u?
wait....are you a guy?

Does it seem like sometimes being a guy is a bit harder now than it might have been a few years ago?

With society deciding what a man should look and act like. If he doesn't care for sports then he's not a "real man"? Then when it comes to the opposite sex, he'll have to do something or look a certain way just for a woman to even be interested in him. And if a man isn't successful he's considered a failure by most people.

It just seems kinda hard to live up to certain standards in this society.

Just be yourself and ignore what others say.

you know fight club should be the blueprint to how a guy could live these days.

I know I would except I can't make my own soap, don't wanna fist fight every damn night and I don't wanna live in a crusty house.

 

[Addendum]

Psychocheese- yes i'm a guy. The only hard part of my life is the lack of good sports being shown in Tennessee

Ahahaha.

But, to be serious for a moment... I'd imagine being a guy has become a bit harder. Every commercial on TV is dealing with our inability to do this and borderline ******ivity, we're the butt of every joke and a lot of guys take it in stride. Well, they take it without even knowing what's going on, but hey.

Feh.

That's political correctness for you. Now-a-days, if you make fun of a woman (even if it has nothing to do with her gender) you're sexist. If you make fun of a minority (even if it has nothing to do with their race) you're racist. If you make fun of a homosexual (even if it has nothing to do with their sexual orientation) you're a homophobe. So now, the only person it is ok to make fun of is the white, straight, male. Watch any TV show, the main male character will be a white, fat, lazy, idiot who is always being shown up by his wife.

That is the exact opposite of being a guy and you know it.

I personally think guys these days are a lot more worried about how they're portrayed as. A lot of guys are afraid of saying the wrong thing and be called a homo

I used to worry what people thought but then I realized I'll just keep my friends around.. the ones who do the same stupid things I do and have no care for what happens.

There was this chic I was trying to go out with and she came out to hang out with me on my b'day.. but unfortunately I was drunk.. barely paid her attention cause I was too busy laughing with my friends and acting up at bar. Needless to say I haven't spoken to her since. I could have behaved if I wanted to but then I realized.. why?!

 

[The Last Meatbag]

It sucks because my friends kinda scold me if I talk to someone that they dont want me to and I get sick of it

hell I do that all the time.... I make more drunk calls than anyone on the planet... sometimes I have the nerve to call girls I haven't seen in years.

 

[The Last Meatbag]

I usually talk to the same girls, but I only have a class of 30

 

[Gamma Ray]

It is hard. If you don't do something "cool" then you don't have balls. Also, penis length is something guys needlessly worry about, only because of other guys.

 

[The Last Meatbag]

Hey if a woman doesnt like it, she doesnt deserve it

And honestly if there were a fight club. I would join. After I get my braces off.

Guy question: I took a girl out on a couple dates during the summer. I'm 17, and she is 19. She was very cute. She has a horrible drinking and smoking problem. She was drunk off her ass almost every night, and she smoked like a freak.

I dumped her because of the smoking/drinking problem. I knew I could've had her in the sack, therefore ending my virginity.. but I dumped her.

Did I make a mistake?

 

[The Last Meatbag]

you should of confronted her with her problem

Not really... you can find another girl. You left a situation that sounds like a pain to be around.

 

[Equint77]

that sounds like a good idea but he's choosing to leave the situation that just appeared to be dating and really nothing more. I'd hope that if he had more feelings for this girl that he'd stick around and try to help her.. but it just sounds like standard date and possible sex with no real strings attached.

 

[Maximum Carnage]

She was addicted to those smokes, man, and she was a HUGE party-girl .. at 19.

I should've talked to her, but, I doubt anything else would've happened..

 

[Addendum]

Utter Carnage- If you can still contact her, send her some recent pictures of Tara Reid to let her know what she'll soon look and probably already acts like

 

[Maximum Carnage]

She looks like she's about 21 or 22.

Great, now! What about 2-3 years down the road? No thanks.

 

[Addendum]

Utter Carnage- my bad. I misread your post. I thought she still was smoking being a party girl. But if you encounter any more party girls in your life, just show them a pic of an actress who hit the wall.

It's not about living up to a standard!
It’s about what you can do for yourself, and not what society can do for you!

For those of you young boys trying to blindly imitate those “guys” dressing up with oversize clothing!
According to the DHRT (Diamondhead research and technology) they’ll grow up to be just as clumsy as the cloth they wear while the ones dressing with more decent and tighter clothing will grow up with more equilibrium and stronger limbs
The point is …don’t be a follower!
If you don’t do what’s good for you at a certain age it might be to late later on
And no one will be able to fix your problem for you!

This was foreseen in the late19 century that societies evolve according to the way they behave and carry themselves!
A society with women walking around exposing their nude breast to the public without a care in the world is a society doom for extinction.
There’s certain degradation going on nowadays and a very high standard at the same time !
It’s up to you to educate yourself and to know which path lead to success or failure!

Okay, I'll bite. Whaaaaaat, Diamondhead...?
