Reading the musical portions of this essa...Hey Man,<br />Reading the musical portions of this essay are interesting and right on, however, the slurs about women and easily getting laid are disgusting! I do not understand how an educated person can be so blind to the entire female race! Every woman is not out to take advantage of a man just as every man is not out to take advantage of a women. Life is just too damn short to be so cynical and cut off from the opposite sex. All of us have had relationships that did not work out for one reason or another. Learn from them and move on. Do not hold grudges and miss out on the good things that life has to offer. Humans are not created to be alone, this does not include marriage per sae, but just having another person in one's life. It appears to me that those who do all the talking about certain issues may be just that, all talk. As far as a musicians lifestyle not being one for a family life, look at all of the one's who have maintained long relationships and are still together. Look at Barry and Linda Gibb, for example. Look at military families who are separated much longer than a road tour and yet their relationships remain strong. It is the people and their commitment to each other, weather married or not, that keeps the relationship vibrant. It is HARD work but well worth it. It seems we often let the fear of what we want the most allow us to build walls to prevent us from getting what we really want out of life. Allow God to give you the courage to love and be loved. Life is just too short. Take that special person on tour with you when it allows. Maybe looking for someone more mature instead of always searching for the younger HOTTIES. Good women, like men, come in all ages, sizes and character. Look at the heart of a person. Take care man, and good luck.

Call me old fashioned or square, but I was brought up to respect women and appreciate the women I have met who are respectful of me as well. It is a two way street guys, if you are looking for trash, you will likely find it, and this in turn makes you trash as well. This whole upping the game is just that, a game. It tends to make respectable musicians, be they male or female, to lower the standard of quality musicianship. This puts all of us in a lower state than we deserve. Any musician worth their salt, knows how difficult it is to work at this craft, constantly perfecting it and learning as a lifetime skill. Why can't we UP the quality of what we expect from our audiences , male and female, to meet our professional MUSICAL standards. If you just want to get laid, there are numerous avenues one can seek, however, if quality musicianship is the basis of what we are selling, it should be just that and not a slezzy fuck at the end of the night....just my two cents worth. Respect yourselves, man..... and you will get what you expect in turn......ANNOYED WITH ALL THIS SEX SHIT.....GET TO THE MUSIC GUYS AND GALS.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-44789377956015131022015-10-14T12:31:09.908-07:002015-10-14T12:31:09.908-07:00Thanks for the links captain, I got an idea while ...Thanks for the links captain, I got an idea while reading the previous SJW article and here it is:<br />As an fee male myself, that article inspired me to call my next consumer product: FEMINISM. Why ?<br /> Because I want to raise the awareness about feminism and the dangers men are exposed to. <br />A similar tactic was used by tyrants to make people forget about the meaning of words, similar to how feminists<br />try to brainwash us with P.C. language, and we might hear after few decades that meritocracy could be just a way of filling some paper forms. But why can't we invent a TOILET PAPER today called FEMINISM ???? <br />Or better something more viral like FEMINISM SPAM. So everyone who reads this, send an unsolicited email to any people you want to, with the title: FEMINISM SPAM.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-20878865063489631452015-10-14T07:51:05.770-07:002015-10-14T07:51:05.770-07:00Good luck, guys.

I'm not being sarcastic.<br /><br />Makes me glad I'm a beta pussy, who hung out in the library and met a beta guy waiting on public transit. Married the beta guy, loving my beta life, living in a beta house and driving beta cars that are paid for. Raising beta kids. <br /><br />Yup. I really do hope you get the kind of lifestyle you want to have. I did.

My real genesis didn't start until I was in my mid-40s. <br /><br />In either realm, I am a novice. I am not a great bass player, but I play the music I do well. I distinguish myself with style and energy. I have overcome fear of playing in unfamiliar circumstances, spontaneously playing songs I don't know with unfamiliar musicians on occasion. <br /><br />I am comfortable with strangers and make for a good host at the parties my band mostly plays at. We get a lot of women attending and it is better than a bar in a lot of ways for 'intimacy'. <br /><br />Game has served me very well in this environment. Possibly I rely on peacocking a bit much as I am mostly the best dressed of not only the band, but the attendees. Whatever it is, it attracts attention and spontaneous openings from the women attending. <br /><br />One of our guitar players could have it made. He's got boyish good looks and attracts women...initially. But he falls apart in his uncertainty of himself.<br /><br />All in all, the presentation of confidence as evidenced by the ability to put yourself out there in front of an audience is pretty powerful. But you gotta keep up the game, on and off stage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
