In 1975 Spielberg had to fully drain the testosterone pool to create the Jaws character, Quint. This is the reason why subsequent generations of men have become 'pussified', especially millennials.
Nothing says a real man when one is ranting and whining about women on the internet. Real men don't complain, get over it.
close, 5%, but consumes 24-40% of world resources the 5% of the world's population that lives in the U.S. has more environmental impact than the 51% that live in the other five largest countries. If undeveloped countries consumed at the same rate as the US , four complete planets the size of the Earth would be required
But that's my point exactly - with a twist The strong and independent women you talk about have replaced men and are men If you want these, then its because you've become a woman aka feminized or are gay Your last point, "if I wanted something that just stays home and never talks back, I'd get a potted plant" - that's exactly how women have YOU, a docile house cat, not a potted plant who does not talk back to the masculine woman that has taken your masculinity away and now runs the show.
Well I used the https://www.census.gov/popclock/ and got a percentage 4.39548 % at that moment. But yeah, the waste levels are ridiculous. The US is turning into a landfill, other countries don't have the space to just dump and forget. I think there may be something in old men "boomers" being atypically hopeless compared to the world average. So many are just WTF whining assholes? Wasteful, just junk everything. E.g. bugging me this moment. I'd repaired an AC unit for a friend-of-friend retired ex-pat, a classic "gringo" health tourist. Basically a poor retiree, under-educated middle management man who can feel a little richer here. Unit was 6 years old, a year over warranty but he was complaining about it being noisy & disturbing him. "I dunno, just makes a weird noise!". Ok, fan was in bad shape etc. I'm not a repairman but I'm not stupid. I got four brushless 120mm DC fans instead (more fans, slower speed), a thermostatically controlled pulse modulated fan speed controller when I was downtown and in 20 minutes, whisper quiet upgrade, de-icing perfect, sweet job for $8. That was two days ago. This morning I saw a new AC unit being delivered. He's giving me "I know you did your best but the noise was still there and you can't fix anything for $10".. So he gets the new unit in and as the guys finish... the "noise" is back. It is just a f*^kin bird in a tree outside, a little brown one that is everywhere in Colombia. He's been here for years, a dull man-cow at only 72. Ok not the best example but like most of the old duffer gringos, there is always some pathetic stupid crap and they are always bullshitting their glory days. My grandad's generation was not like that. The boomer generation, not role models for any younger men (or women). Off for a long lunch.
Hi Slartibartfast, I'm laffffing my ass off, great story - some of the shit that tourists/expats do is downright amazing. American tourist/expat wives with their husbands are usually on high alert mode to catch his wandering gaze every time a sexy young Asian smiles at him. Its pure torture for the wives. And absolute Hell for the fellas. I've saved 3 fellas thus far by handing out cards with, "why did you bring your dinosaur to P*ssy Haven, clown?" One would expect they would be mad at me or consider it rude, but heck no, the look is sheer hope, "help me, I'm in solitary confinement"
Holy crap this thread is juvenile. Look, I'll sympathize with the whole avoidance of American or western women. I realized long ago that the constant competition in a relationship for who is the man that comes with being involved with a western woman is not something I ever wanted a part of. Fortunately I became an expat in Russia and found my soulmate over in Moscow. Though we've been back in the states for a while now, she's still the Russian woman I fell in love with. Is it work? Sure. Humans are animals at the end of the day and co-habitation with another "animal" requires effort. But she and I are good about allowing each other our own personal time but still maintaining a great family life. And she gave me my son who I adore. Love life still going strong after 14 years, won't disgust you with the details but somehow the sex keeps getting better, no idea how that happens but not going to question the miracle. But touting the life of being 50 and hunting for pussy is rather creepy. At a certain point, you're going to be that guy Chris Rock refers to when he mentions the "old guy in the club - he's not too old, just a little too old for the club". In Moscow I saw these old lecherous guys as they scouted out 20 something Russian girls. Knew a Brit everyone called "the Moscow Wolf" who used to tag them regularly. My wife walked into the woman's room one time and he was going at it with a girl 1/3 his age in one of the stalls. Classy. At a certain point, men have to grow up. I'm not saying they have to get married, but a certain behavior separates men from boys.
