TO ALL THE KIDS WHO WERE BORN IN THE 1930's-70's

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking .
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......
WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem .
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broken bones and teeth and there were no
lawsuits from these accidents.
We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.
We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,
made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.


We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned
HOW TO
DEAL WITH IT ALL!
And YOU are one of them!
CONGRATULATIONS!
You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.
and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

Let's take it back, way back.........
This will put a smile on your face.
Close your eyes...And go back...
Before the Internet or the MAC
Before semi automatics and crack
Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...
Way back...

I'm talkin' bout hide and go seek at dusk.
Red light, Green light.
Playing kickball & dodgeball until your porch light came on.
Mother May I?
Red Rover
Hula Hoops
Running through the sprinkler
Happy Meals
Wait...
Watchin' Saturday Morning cartoons
Fat Albert, Road Runner, Smurfs, Picture Pages, G-Force & He-Man
Wonder Woman & Super Man Underoos
Playing Dukes of Hazard
Catchin' lightning bugs in a jar
Christmas morning...
Your first day of school
Bedtime Prayers and Goodnight Kisses
Climbing trees
Getting an Ice Cream off the Ice Cream Truck
A million mosquito bites and sticky fingers
Jumpin' down the steps
Jumpin' on the bed
Pillow fights
Runnin' till you were out of breath
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt
Being tired from playin'
Your first crush...
Rainy days at school meant playing "Heads up 7UP" in the classroom
Remember that?

I'm not finished yet...
Kool-Aid was the drink of the summer
Toting your friends on your handlebars
Wearing your new shoes on the first day of school
Class Field Trips
When nearly everyone's mom was at home when the kids got there.
When a quarter seemed like a fair allowance, and another quarter a
Miracle.
When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries, and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.
When your parents took you to McDonalds and you were so cool.
When being sent to the principal's office was nothing compared to
the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.

Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn't because of
drive by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.
Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! And some of us are still afraid of em!
Didn't that feel good, just to go back and say, "Yeah, I remember
that!"
There's nothing like the good old days! They were good then, and
they're good now when we think about them.
Share some of these thoughts with a friend who can relate, then
share it with someone that missed out on them.

I want to go back to the time when...

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"
Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!"
"Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.
Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "monopoly"
Catching fireflies could happily occupy an entire evening
It wasn't odd to have two or three "best" friends.
Being old, referred to anyone over 20.
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
Nobody was prettier than Mom
Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better
It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big
people" rides at the amusement park.
Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true.
Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare"
Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for
giggles.
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team.
Water balloons were the ultimate, ultimate weapon.
Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest
protectors.

If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!!!

Why men should NOT be Nice/Good Guys.

In the dating game WOMEN have the power to chose what mate they want. They knew what kind of man they are getting with but they chose him anyway because he was "cute, fun, exciting and/or dangerous". Men do not have that option.

THEY CHOSE THE PLAYERS/JERKS/THUG MEN.

You always hear females bitching about wanting a "real" man but they turn their backs on them. It's only after the females throw his "respect and caring" for them in his face that drives men to distraction, that men become uncaring, NOT because they are, but because after trying their best and failing to live up to the UNREALISTIC expectations of the woman they truly care about, men realize that their feelings never matter, only HER agenda. What SHE WANTS. It's only about HER.

Now if the guy is overly good-looking with a bank account to match, has a 10' penis and can sex like a Greek God, has an IQ of 150 with a "bad boy" edge women will always treat them like kings. But for average "real" guys it's much different.

A man who dares to complain about this system is written off as a bitter misogynist, having a bad attitude and is rejected. That's another repetition of the cycle because he opens up his true feelings, as he is SUPPOSED to do, and is punished for it if isn't the type of TRUTH women want to hear.

Every time a Nice/good guy talks about why women don't want him AFTER HE DOES EVERYTHING THEY ASK AND CLAIM TO WANT. Females will ALWAYS blame the man and NOT themselves. Instead they will tell him he is rejected not because he's a Nice/good man but because of some trivial flaw.

Every nice/good guy hears women talk about how wonderful they are, and how they would make some woman very happy, The nice/good guy is inclined to believe these words,yet those same females don't go out of their way to date them or even fix them up. Instead women are eager to fix a shallow jerk/player up with other women. Meanwhile, the man who is what women CLAIM to want is ignored. The conclusion that women are lying to him is almost impossible to refute.

On the other hand, if he stops caring, stops letting his desires control his emotions, stops going out of his way for women, and stops giving them the benefit of the doubt, they will forever try to change him back into the man they ignored in the first place. If females wanted nice/good men, they would select nice/good men in the first place. It is obvious that females are less interested in seeking out a nice/good guy to begin with, and are more interested in the DRAMA created by the challenge of turning a jerk/player back into the nice/good guy she NEVER wanted. Good/Nice guys are told not to change a thing despite their miserable results, to keep up hope that things will turn around, and one day they will meet that mythical right woman [HA!], who makes all the pain worthwhile. So they sit back and watch as all their jerk/players friends seem to pull women and sex off a conveyor belt.

"You'll find her"...."Hang in there"....."Just be yourelf" Nice/good guys are told over and over and over again.The years roll by and yet they are still alone or if best stuck as "Just friends" and Cuddle Bitches of females.

The typical canned response given to good guys by women?

"He will get the women in the end [when she's in her late 30's] but what guy wants a women after a bunch of bad boys/players and thugs went through her and now she's old, her beauty is fading and she prob has kids? So she NOW runs to the Nice/good guy? Sorry, but noone wants to be an after-thought of damaged goods. If it takes her THAT LONG to figure out she wanted a nice/good guy, she prob never did and is only NOW going after him because her Bio-clock is ticking and she knows the player/thugs don't want to have anything to do with her. She runs to him NOT by choice but by necessity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eventually, the Nice Guy/Good guy learns not to open up, and to be jaded, cynical, and distant. He's finally says "FUCK THIS!"

And thanks to the power of the internet, he goes and finds some REAL ANSWERS. He soon finds info like "The Ladder Theory" and "The Player's Guide at fastseduction.com". Becoming a player/jerk wasn't his the first idea, it was his LAST RESORT. Sadly, being a decent normal guy ISN'T enough anymore. Now, It seems females RESPOND MORE to his new persona. He slowy becomes the jerk, on his way to being a player.

The players/jerks are just regular guys who have been walked on a bit too much. One thing that is clear is that many of them are not thrilled with what they have to do in order to get a girlfriend and laid, and who can blame them? When the same man who is rejected as a nice/good guy is treated like royalty when he becomes a thug/jerk or player, how can women expect any man to put up with that? They might as well just drop the charade and tell men that this is what they want.

This is one of reasons why men become jerks/players: they get tired of denying their sexuality, tired of worrying about whether or not women will approve of them, they stop trying to hide their desires, they get sick of hearing "You're a great guy but.."they are tired of hearing women give them the SAME bullshit advice that contradicts their OWN actions towards men. Soon they stop caring about how anyone reacts to them, start caring only about whether they get laid or not, and the females see this as a display of manhood , something worthy of a sexual reward. [Once again females REWARD bad behavior] Need Proof?

Just look at Scott Peterson, the guy killed his wife in cold blood yet there were dozens of women sending him LOVE LETTERS while he was in prison!

Or how about the women who ran off with a CONVICTED MURDER on her husband-- THE DEPUTY WARDEN!

And of course the author of this web page has his OWN story,
This is a few of the many reasons that show how women love dangerous, violent, unstable, but "exciting" men. And these women will act shocked when men like this treats them like shit or worse, beats and tries to kill them.

Females go with what feels good NOW, even when they talk about and claim to wanting long-term happiness. They will violate their own selection principles by overreacting to something the jerk/player says, something they think sets him apart from other men, but which in reality was something that he knew would make females feel good and more likely to want to fuck him.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The reality is women, just like men follow their primal instincts FIRST. Women just call it "Following your heart" because it sounds better than "Follow your pussy". And many of them lack the self-control to NOT date these guys in much the same way that they seem to lack the self-control necessary to not eat that pint of chocolate ice cream even though they know they're going to be bltching about their weight later. And since they're women, they can just go and say it was the man's fault all along, right?.

In dating, the same thing happens, with a man constantly finding himself at a fork in the road where acting like a good guy will doom the relationship, while acting like a jerk/player will get him immediate sex and the women. And until that reward system changes, until females stop trusting everything they HEAR that they want to believe, until they start getting turned on by honesty and decency the way they get turned on by height, money, and physical strength or status, it will not change.

And it's very safe to say that this change will NOT come in our lifetime.
