That is true, though he overplayed it at times. A prime example is when the woman who owned a cane corso called in. He didn't know what that was, and still talked to her as if she was stupid, before she revealed why she needed his help. It doesn't invalidate the good points he made in the conversation, but putting someone down for knowing something respectable that you don't know isn't the right way to handle business.
When you’re shooting live you’ll have missteps. I’m willing to overlook it in light of the people he dealt with. He operated in the right space and had the temperament to handle them.
The point wasn't how "basic" she is but how her standards are impossibly high, and how she would treat me as a result. Whether she's an 8/10 or a 5/10 or a 3/10 that would suck either way. The lower she is, the more ridiculous it becomes, that's all.
It doesn’t matter whether they’re rational or not in the grand scheme of things. People spend too much time dwelling on non issues like stats, labels and tropes. Giving it bandwidth it doesn’t deserve.
There’s a lot of men who prefer women in their twenties. So what. We’re not compatible. Why would I let it get me down or make me question my worth? Go get her. Unless he’s the last man standing I’m not going to stress. The woman he prefers has no bearing on me. You have to get to that place of self-acceptance.
If I was a guy and the women in my sandbox had that mentality I’d get a side hustle and level up. I wouldn’t waste my time crying, complaining or feeling sorry for myself. I’d give the situation to Yahweh and redirect my focus to growth and betterment.
Sometimes you have to play offense against your circumstances. That’s where wise as a serpent comes in. If the barometer to togetherness is material, social etc. I’m playing the game. I’d work on my apoearance, mindset, body language, mental state, emotions, physical fitness, diet, communication, confidence, creativity, cultural awareness, and connections.
I wouldn’t be on the bench or keep banging my head on a door that won’t open. I’d go all-in on prayer and fasting plus the other stuff. When I’m done I’ll be the package but a godly one. The world is wicked and we aren’t making the rules. We have to learn how to survive in a sink or swim environment. That requires fortitude.
You survey the landscape and adapt your strategy. But you don’t abandon the goal or your principles. Many struggle with this because they have one track minds. They have one approach and that’s it. They can’t think linear, zig and zag or out the box.
When that’s the case you need to find others who can. People who see beyond the obvious and know how to get there through calculated movements. That’s the problem with everyone wins philosophies. It doesn’t nurture your hunger or teach you how to weasel you way out of tight spots or best your opponent.
Life isn’t fair. If you believe the book and watch the news and see societal shifts taking place you should expect the same in the dating market and hedge against them. No believer should be caught off-guard. It’s right in your face. There were signs we were heading in this direction. But everyone’s distracted, That’s where they went awry.
I get that, but in case you didn't know there are industries based on making very similar promises to men as he promises, but that really just talk up the importance of non-transferable skills. And people get suckered in, fly to Vegas or wherever, and pay big money for the privilege. Perhaps if you have the ability and didn't know it or it was unrefined they can wake it up. If you don't have it, you're not much better off - but they have your money.
People get duped because they’re looking for shortcuts. They want a quick fix for everything. No one who understands the game will teach it for pennies. The knowledge is hard won. You have to do your time in the trenches and discover the gravity of your ignorance. Until you recognize your shortcomings and stop blaming yourself and other people you’ll never ascend. You’ll remain in victim mode and that’s not the mind of a champion.
You have to reach the point where you’re done. Done thinking about it…talking about it…crying about it…and reliving it. You’ve had enough. Most people haven’t reached that point. They’re still in the hurt and trauma. You can’t apply these principles when you’re wrecked. You need to do some housekeeping first and purge.
Life looks different when the head and heart are clear. You recognize the ridiculousness and it rolls off your back. If a man wants miss 25 I’ll wish him luck. If he’s a catch and I know someone who fits I’ll recommend her. I’d rather acquire an asset than get bent about lost opportunities. He won’t forget my response. Now that its settled we can talk about other stuff. And you never know who he knows.
You miss a lot of blessings when you live from emotion. You’ve gotta keep your head.
Yep, it seems to be a meticulously calculated image. Have you noticed the similarity he has to umpteen rappers in the image he projects? Expensive clothes, check. Accessories, check. Expensive cars, check. Entourage of women, check. Etc.
He’s the typical wealthy man in his youth. Go to a rich playground and you’ll see others like him. He’s not trying to be a rapper. He dons bespoke suits from Savile Row and embodies the playboy archetype.
I read an article years ago where Prince William and Prince Harry admitted to liking Kanye and rap. You can find a picture of the three of them along with Diddy.
You’ll find hip-hop in most channels and advertisements nowadays. Are they trying to do the same? Of course not. It’s popular.
I was referring to counseling and coaching, actually. I'm not sure of what $100K medical treatment you had in mind.
Bespoke medicine is ideal if health challenges exist. That’s the best treatment you can get. $100K is the retainer.
Only if you go for that stuff. J.C. Penney and Costco aren't that expensive.
You can wear jeans and a button down shirt and the differences would be evident. The carriage and appearance are markers. I used to work in high end retail during the holidays in my teens. I chose the stores intentionally and used to spend time in certain departments. Not only because I liked the products but it provided an opportunity to study the clientele and their shopping habits. When you’re dealing with the wealthy you have to see them from different angles and settings. After awhile I could tell when someone walked in if they were spending money. I observed employees too.
I’ve been around luxury all my life in one form or another. When people post cars, houses, jewelry, etc. I ask the question. Who’s funding it? I know what it costs and won’t step on someone's dreams. But you’ve got to have the chops to pull it off.
I get what you're saying, but that's not what I had in mind. What I had in mind was solving social and political issues. I had a thought experiment of what I would do if I could solve the problems that could be solved by money. That's where my mind went.
Go do it. Write the vision, make the money and execute. Put the thoughts in action.
He's starting to attract males in Christian spaces. I've seen it elsewhere on the Internet. When I see it, I try to talk sense into them. I do agree with eating the meat and throwing away the bones, but there's more meat and much fewer bones provided by other personalities.
Of course he is! You can’t get solutions from people who haven’t solved the problem. All they can do is empathize and pray. They can’t be your go-to if they haven’t resolved it. They’re in the same boat. You have to address your dilemmas strategically. Gather your support and task them appropriately. Direct challenges to the right group or persons and go from there.
That it does. Plus the fact that it makes people who dislike you uncomfortable is a very nice bonus.
There’s a downside to that. You make unnecessary enemies along the way. It’s more important to understand the why behind their dislike than revel in a shot. You’re playing the long game.
