I often think like this

May 1

“

Say I asked you to go out and buy me the best phone you can find for $500. How do you chose the phone? Do you research the features, try them all out, compare, know your own preferences for operating systems and screen sizes? That would make sense. Here is the equivalent how girls pick their guys though, for the most part:

They go to the store and proceed to smash every phone onto the floor. Whichever phone survives all smashings, that’s the one she buys.

Which phone is that? Is it the latest high end big screen Samsung, or is it the shittiest button phone? Duh. The crap will survive, because there is nothing to it. No awesome screen to break. No complex motherboard to get broken. The crap will survive the smashing.

That’s dating. Whoever continues to make it through the flaking, the childish games, the bullshit, that’s the guy she ends up with. Quality guys with options won’t put up with that, and worse even some guys will take the bullshit as a challenge and play it as a game.

” I have an ex girlfriend who could definitely learn from that quote.

Hard Truths?

The question mark in the title means that I do not necessarily agree with what is being stated, but I think it’s worth at least thinking about his arguments.

“… we overestimate the value of what we already have and so underestimate the upside of taking a chance, leaving something behind, and making a big change. Most of us end up where we are through a sort of drift. Sometimes that works out splendidly …” A recurring theme of this blog is to, I hope, point out that life is what you make of it. If you want to go and do X, just find a way.

“Here’s the truth — there is no “real” you. You don’t have an inviolable, unchanging identity that defines you from the day you’re born to the day you die. Your identity is just who you are at this particular moment in time. You’re not the same person you were ten years ago, and you won’t be the same person ten years from now. You won’t even be the same person six months from now. Oh sure, you may have the same name and see the world through the same set of eyes, but events in and out of your control permanently and slowly change you. Getting married and having children, losing your job, moving abroad, graduating from college, the death of your parents — all these and other events leave lasting marks on your soul. Game, along with self-improvement methods like the Paleo diet, are nothing more than ways of guiding your intellectual development in productive directions, taking charge of your life instead of just letting things happen to you.” Truth > Source (one of the few rules of life)

Does anyone else really dislike people who self identify as “a foodie”? Jesus.

“Nobody should be afraid of personal change and growth. “When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child.” We aren’t 16 years old anymore. We aren’t 22 years old anymore. Some people may say ignorance is bliss. I say ignorance is stagnation. Embrace the person you have yet to become.” A friend of mine (seriously)
