But I presume the reality is that any unique individual such as yourself who has an idea that would genuinely benefit society will simply be squashed.<br /><br />Sorry to sound so negative, but I don't really see any kind of change in the western world, and (no matter how much you and I protest against it) most people in our democracies believe in global warming and have a genuine hatred towards industrial industries.Captain Capitalismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05620212946121617985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-13844582369883487032011-05-27T00:37:49.882-07:002011-05-27T00:37:49.882-07:00Yeah what exactly does a woman bring to the table?...Yeah what exactly does a woman bring to the table?

A woman wants to feel like she can be part of the planning if you were to be together." Whoa, I wouldn't touch that with a ten foot pole. Planning together? "Oh, honey, as soon as I get that promotion, we'll get a mortgage and buy a house!" Yack. I'll have to kill myself if I ever find myself letting a woman plan and control my life (directly or indirectly). <br /><br />Even thinking about planning anything after one date with her cousin is batshit crazy. Also, absolutely normal for single women over 30. Anyway, I have to wonder, who will I date in my 40s and 50s? I can't date women in their 30s! They're all either (a) creepy as hell because of their insane desire to marry or (b) annoying as hell with their hamsters running full speed, powering their jaws as they blabber on about how there are no decent guys anymore, effectively repulsing all the decent guys within earshot.Sonny Orteganoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-71197428561077154922011-05-26T19:26:11.087-07:002011-05-26T19:26:11.087-07:00Wow.

Good dog."<br /><br />So, you're supposed to jump through all those hoops in the first 2 dates so she can determine quickly if she's wasting her time with you and, if so, efficiently terminate the "relationship?" What's in it for you? Or does that matter?<br /><br />When I met my husband, he was still in school, had no money, lived with his brother, drove a really crappy car and couldn't afford to take me somewhere "nice" on the first date. So we went wherever and I suggested we just do the cheap date thing because I didn't have any money either and it would take at least a little pressure off the getting-to-know-you process. At least half the time I cooked him dinner in my tiny little kitchenette and we ate in my apartment. But then, I'm frugal. <br /><br />A year and a half later we both graduated, then got married, got real jobs, bought a house, lived the dream, etc., etc. If I'd evaluated my husband and other men the way your letter writer did, I'd still be single. Is she still married, by the way?grerphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508847516381764005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-77445449786881150452011-05-26T19:03:17.962-07:002011-05-26T19:03:17.962-07:00Hello Captain, really enjoy the blog and was hopin...Hello Captain, really enjoy the blog and was hoping I could ask a question.<br /><br />You've stated a number of times to never earn more than $30,000 a year. I'm British and have decided to never pay tax in the UK for the same reasons. But, my greatest dream is to create a great advanced manufacturing equipment company.<br /><br />What are my choices to pursue this? I don't think it would be possible in the West today and after looking into it, I can't just turn up in an Asian country with no capital and get to work in a garden shed.<br /><br />I worked for an engineering company for over a year until 2008 when anyone younger than 45 was made redundant. At the moment I'm bumming around in Australia on a temporary visa, having fun, paying NO taxes, but it can't last forever and I can't help but feel the drive to do something.<br /><br />Should I just accept this is the best life is going to be? I can bum around several more countries, plenty of easy sex, booze, no stress jobs, plenty of time to keep fit and get lots of hiking in?Rowannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8358039.post-47515901189713689102011-05-26T14:44:47.301-07:002011-05-26T14:44:47.301-07:00Anonymous- you are not alone.

I was a nice looking guy, but incredibly shy, introverted, and had anti-game. And yes, everybody thought I was gay, which really bothered me.<br /><br />Cant blame any guy who does not care to date. In general women's expectations are ridiculously high, their personalities are too difficult, and they get fatter and fatter by the day. They really have no reward for men in general.<br /><br />My advice is to be highly selective and if you are blaming yourself, dont.
