hooking up, etc: gauging your market value

look, im sure i could break this down by assigning point values, but i dont think this is necessary. i am, of course, operating under the assumption that our readership (all three of you) is above marginal intelligence...so if this isnt the case, this entire post could be above you

let me start off by saying everyone goes through droughts of sorts. for some people this is 4-5 days, for some 4-5 weeks...and for some, a lifetime. under these "exigent" circumstances, its okay to undervalue your market value and hook up with someone below you. however, if youre consistently hooking up, theres just no reason to lower your standards. think of this hookup as the equivalent of a jump shooter getting a dunk or a lay-up to give him a little confidence. once you've gotten this one under your belt, youve found your stroke, and youve got the confidence to move back up to your level and maybe even overachieve. hey, everyone goes below their market value once in a while, why couldnt it be you that that uberhot cocor (sound it out) down the street will hook up with when she does this?

if youre ever in a drought and/or considering hooking up with a chick, and you even have to question whether she's on your level, that should be your first red flag. if that doesnt immediately get you off of the idea (60% of the time, your intuition is right every time), you have to remind yourself the caliber of chicks youve hooked up with in the past, and the chicks you could/should have hooked up with, but didnt work out for whatever reason. if your future hookup is close to these chicks, stop questioning yourself, have a few shots, and saddle up. if she isnt particularly close, you either need to forget the idea all together, or if it has been quite a while, take a few extra shots and hope you can get hard (for a number of reasons, obviously)

of course, there is a flip side to this. while i have said it's worth it to take a shot at someone above you, this isnt a free pass to consistently overvalue yourself. KNOW that youre temporarily overvaluing/overshooting, and youll be ok, but if you consistently try this, youre just gonna be disappointed. how many people do you know who constantly try to overachieve and end up just frustrated? look, youre not that attractive...sure, youre not ugly, but youre also not upper echelon (and in all likelihood, not even close). you probably arent in great shape, and you may either have a crappy personality, be crazy, or both. this doesnt mean you cant find people to hook up with, but you have to embrace your level and be willing to hook up on that level
i guess you could always invest in a nice pocket pussy or vibrator (or both, you fucking pervert)


...one thing to add on...
i think it goes without saying that you dont want to be in a relationship, regardless. however, if for some reason you feel the need to get into a relationship, under NO circumstances should you start a relationship with someone (much) below your level. how many lonely guys/gals have you seen settle just b/c theyre lonely, and theyre afraid of not finding someone? pa-the-tic.

Anger; Helping You Do Better, What You Already Do Best

You ever notice how whenever someone gets heated, their sub-culture really comes out? (I say sub-culture because I don’t really think race is the key qualifier here. Money also is not the main factor.)

Let’s talk about black people………...

………

Is anyone else as scared as I am to go there?

Let me first say, this isn’t a generalization of all “the black”. It’s one of poor black people and/or rappers (wannabe and otherwise)

Subculture: The Hood

So, black people – they talk normal all the time. (and by normal, I mean somewhat understandable) Naturally we’ve come to expect (and accept, really) the occasional misnomer, error in diction, general grammar butchering, and overall misinterpretation of our language. Other than that, they talk just like the rest of us. But then as soon as they get pissed off or in a fight with someone it goes to shit (even more so). Their “English” goes down faster than your girlfriend. Even by ebonical standards, the words are only marginally identifiable.

Subculture: Redneck/Hillbilly

Wow. Just turn on Jerry Springer, holmes. This is a treat. Occasionally I’ll flip by this action and hear one of these losers really outdoing himself. Sounding pretty much just like the rest of us (maybe not quite as refined, ya know). Then as soon as they bring out his fiancée and her boyfriend (his brother) the shit hits the fan and suddenly his English gets uglier than Yo Momma, Wilmer. It’s like they bring each other down. Alone, they could maybe pass as moderately intelligent, decent people; but you get them in a group (especially when they’re going at it verbally or engaging in hillbilly fisticuffs) and you may as well bleep out the entire thing, Jerry, cos no one is following this trash. The sum of their parts is definitely less than the individual pieces. Good work…

With both of these examples, it’s not just the speech that goes to hell. It’s all the little jewels of said sub-culture really becoming magnified. Hand gestures, slang, values, etc. It’s really beautiful.

I’m wondering if this holds true everywhere. Like, rich white people for instance. When they get heated or get into a fight, do they like, really turn up the idiosyncrasies? Do they go get an even better job and make even more money? Would I be even more successful if I were swimming in confrontation? Can you imagine this? If conflict magnified everyone’s natural tendencies? Would little Chinese hands churn out twice the number of Nikes? Would Asians cut their hair even weirder and do math even faster? Do black people ramp up their illegitimate children bearing & criminal activity along with the aforementioned increases in “blackness”? We know Muslims get even more militant, so why wouldn’t this hold true across the board? Maybe the Germans were just in an argument over something trivial and suddenly the world was in the middle of a World War.
