5 Things Most Men Have to Learn the Hard Way in Life
By John Hawkins May 16, 2018
I do not envy young men in our society. A lot of them grow up without strong male role models. They’re shoved through an education that treats them like defective girls and they come out of that into a world that incessantly feeds them mixed messages. Be chivalrous... chivalry is sexism that means you think women are inferior! Women love strong alpha males... women want men to be sensitive and emotional. It’s your job to take care of and provide for your family… men are expected to do whatever their wife tells them to do, etc., etc., etc. There are so many of these that I could do a whole article on it (Mental note: Do whole article on the contradictory messages men get from society.) There are so many things you have to learn the hard way that I have a whole book on that topic, but here are a few of the most important lessons just for the guys.
1. Rejection Is Not Personal
I can still remember joking in high school that a beautiful cheerleader in my typing class should go on a date with me. The fact that I even treated that as a joke instead of something serious tells you a lot about where my head was at back then, but what happened next really hammered it home. She heard the joke, looked at me and said something like, “So, you want to go out?†She was interested, but I didn’t have enough experience with women to realize it at the time. I was scared to death that she would reject me, so I played it off like I was joking instead of following through and risking a "no."
When you’re inexperienced, asking a woman out seems like offering yourself up to another human being and a rejection means you’re just not good enough. That can be a crushing blow to your ego. But rejection, sort of like getting punched in the face (people who’ve sparred know what I mean), becomes significantly less frightening once it has happened to you enough times. Aside from just getting used to it, over time you start to realize that a “no†can mean a lot of things. A woman could have a boyfriend. She might have just broken up with her boyfriend and isn’t ready to be in a relationship. She could be a lesbian. You might look like her creepy perv neighbor who stared a little too long at her chest and made her uncomfortable. Of course, she may just not be into you… but, so what? There are single women I find attractive that I get along with that I have no interest in dating. Why should women be any different? If she says “no,†then move on to the next one. After you do it enough times, you’ll be fine with getting a “no.†That’s how it should be.

No, it doesn't.
If anything, it gets worse each time because you realize that every rejection pushes you closer and closer to the real possibility that you may never find the right person in time to have healthy children. Repeated rejection without any success is incredibly scarring.

What good would that do? Come on. "Hey, I'm lonely and hurt, so maybe people will be a little more respectful if I slaughter them all!" That's patently absurd on its face, and totally uncalled for.
Of course, the fact that there even exists an incel movement proves my point quite well. The idea that people somehow get numb to being repeatedly denied what they need is foolishness, and I'm not talking "getting laid" like most of the incels (although I'd argue most are looking for something more meaningful than that and there's a lot of distortion going on in regard to the press). It's like saying you get used to starvation.
-
Addendum: Hawkins is only half-right. There are situations where rejection isn't your fault. In those cases, it shouldn't be a blow to one's pride. Yet with repeated rejection, the hard reality is that you are the common thread in all your rejections, and it IS personal.

5 Things Most Men Have to Learn the Hard Way in Life
By John Hawkins May 16, 2018
There are so many things you have to learn the hard way that I have a whole book on that topic, but here are a few of the most important lessons just for the guys.
1. Rejection Is Not Personal
Ok,nobody needs to read any more of this fools brain farts. Never mind the absurd conclusion that only boys feel the emotional pain of rejection by the opposite sex (has this goober never even MET a teenage girl that was fat or has acne???),there is nothing LESS personal than rejection,and it affects people of all genders,even undecided,as well as people of all ages.
-
#6- Don't mix quaaludes, shrooms and skunked beer.
@Frank Cannon
Always wise advice in any social situation,but the mixture does take the sting out of rejection.
Mostly because you don't understand you have been rejected because you don't remember asking anything.
Not that *I* personally know anything about the effects of taking ludes or mushrooms,mind you. I MAY have known at one time,but forget.
-
#8. Get a Job and spend it on hookers. In the long run you will save money.
@The Ghost

-

@The Ghost
Kinda picky fella,ain't ya?
-
#9. She said she was 18.
@The Ghost
And unmarried.
You just can't trust them to tell you the truth.

THANK YOU!
The ironic part is that you go on to read 2 through 5, and it's all "you're not working hard enough, you don't have anything to offer anyone, you're not superficial enough." He contradicts himself in his own list. Hawkins has been writing listicles like this for years. They're usually not Buzzfeed-level terrible, but when it comes to life advice, he's not good at it. Of course, surprisingly few people are.

@ahhh,NOW I see where I went wrong. I was always/am still nuts about redheaded wimmins. BTW,ain't they ALL strippers?
I do make one obvious exception,and that is for Sophia Loren,but Sophia is more of a nuclear superpower of sexual attraction than she is a mere woman.

Been there, done that... TWICE. One time, found the plug (it was on a chain), the other time the plug was gone... You can screw a watermelon rind in there and it will get you home...

Had a new feller showing up at the gas station after work... Did that trick on him... He screamed like a woman, ran out with his pants around his ankles and fell in the alley... peeing all over ... screaming and crying, and carrying on... But worst of all, he was discovered wearing ladies panties that day... He moved away shortly thereafter... It was all in fun, but that's the sort of thing he'd never live down... :shrug: :whistle: **nononono*

While aboard ship we had a new recruit show up. Pantsing was going on at the time so, of course, someone did it to the new guy. With pulling his pants down they caught his underwear as well. Oh My! Turns out the guy had some kind of micro penis. It was as big as the tip of your pinky. Well, ...uh...sorry dude. We were all more embarrassed than he was. Like you said, he could never live that down. Not that anyone ever talked about it...
-
Not that anyone ever talked about it...
Yeah riiiight... That'll get him a nickname that is impossible to live with... All he can do is go away and hope for better elsewhere... But that ain't easy anymore, because internet.

Well, there was a short while in the mid 70s that wimmmen were trying to sell guys on bikini skivvies.
A guy I worked with in the steel plant was walking around all day with the expression of someone being tortured on his face. Finally, he reached into the front of his britches and with a rip pulled out what looked like women's skivvies. Obviously relieved, he explained his wife had bought them for him as a birthday present and he'd finally agreed to try wearing them. He said "Never again". She was a real cute and sweet little gal, but I seriously doubt even she would have been able to talk me into such self-torture.
Of course, anyone who was 'discovered' in an alley peeing all over and screaming like a girl would forfeit the opportunity for redemption he had invoked.

I think the thing most men (and women) need to learn is how to channel their obsessive compulsiveness into a positive rather than a negative predisposition. Until I was in my 30s I compulsively ate, and I compulsively smoked, and I compulsively gambled. All three nearly destroyed me. Then I quit smoking and drinking, channeling that inclination into becoming an exercise addict. The gambling I channeled into business entrepreneurship. That made all the difference.
Although it was not my undoing, I have seen many men ruined by alcohol and drugs.

Wimminz is soft little cuddly kissy things.
I love rubbing their feet, sucking their toes, oiling up their back...oh yea
They smell good...they taste good when you kiss um'.
They look great...they drive me freakin crazy.
They are sleek, and smooth, and suave, and sexy.
They make me unable to control myself, I just gotta grab um'
They make me crazy...they fire my desire...they feed my insatiable hunger...
Gotta have it. Gotta get sum...if I had one here with me now, I don't care who...I'm begging, girl..please
I got a little bit of Red Wine...and music...and candles...
Like Dr. Seuss said, Oh...the places I would go.

Ahhh,I see "the doctor is in".
I have never had any problem attracting women. I just never needed a boss at home as well as a boss at work,and truth to tell,have never been crazy about putting up with crap from a boss at work,either.
I believe in peaceful coexistence at home. Nobody is a master and nobody is a slave,but if somebody is going to be taking orders,it damn sure ain't going to be ME. The only women I have ever met that were willing to live that way were already married to guys I knew,so they weren't available. The ones that WERE available were very pleasant at first,but would start dropping little verbal "control bombs" after a couple of months of peaceful co-existence. The last one was a woman I worked with at the AF Base in Denver,and she basically moved in without asking me if it was ok. Since I had nothing going on with anyone else,actually liked her,knew she was smart,new she was a hard-worker,and it was blindingly obvious she was a smoking hot redhead,I said "Uhhh,ok,yeah" when she showed up with her suitcase a couple of days after the first date.
Things were going great for about 3 or 4 months,when one night,out of the blue,she dropped THIS little "info bomb" on me during a tv commercial when she said,"You know that after we get married we won't be having so much sex,right?
"Uhhhh,say WHAT?",was my initial response,and then I told her that I didn't even know we were engaged,and that if she ever did hope to get married,she needed to work some on her sales technique.
I told her right then she needed to start looking for a new place to live. A couple of weeks later she moved in with another guy we worked with,and 6 months later they were married.
And this is my LAST personal discussion on this matter.

Things were going great for about 3 or 4 months,when one night,out of the blue,she dropped THIS little "info bomb" on me during a tv commercial when she said,"You know that after we get married we won't be having so much sex,right?
"Uhhhh,say WHAT?",was my initial response,and then I told her that I didn't even know we were engaged,and that if she ever did hope to get married,she needed to work some on her sales technique.
I told her right then she needed to start looking for a new place to live. A couple of weeks later she moved in with another guy we worked with,and 6 months later they were married.
And this is my LAST personal discussion on this matter.

My advice was not to you but @jmyrlefuller who keeps asking on this forum why he keeps getting rejected. And I gave him sound advice. @sneakypete.
@mirraflake @jmyrlefuller
My apologies to you both for misunderstanding and butting in where I don't belong.

Pangolin? Consanguine, or, I hesitate on this one: anguine?
No, not sure we can do anything with those.

It was duly noted. I have a general idea of what's held me back when I was attempting to date in years past, and I've put dating on hold for the time being, at least until I improve myself into a more (figuratively) attractive potential partner. It's a process.

I am not a shrink,and don't even play one on teebee,but it SEEMS to me that your biggest problem is your own poor opinion of yourself. MOST women like a man that is self-confident. I know nothing about you,but I suspect you are a better potential "catch" for women than you think yourself to be. Unless of course there is some sort of super-dominant caveman hiding behind a Clark Kent personality.
Speaking of which,did Clark Kent even ever get a date,never mind get laid?
Just keep this in mind,you can say pretty much anything you want to say to a typical woman as long as it isn't mean,and you say it with a sense of humor and a smile.
A sense of humor should also be the prime thing you look for in a woman,too. Regardless of if you are a man or a woman,and how nice you try to be,EVERYBODY has a bad day or three occasionally,and your partner and you BOTH need to be mentally prepared to deal with the bad weather until it goes away. People who are generally upbeat and who look for things to laugh about are the best bet because they are the least likely to take a bad weekend and turn it into a lifestyle.
And don't worry so much about "catching a keeper" this week. Go with the flow and approach different women while having the understanding that it is perfectly normal for either you to not be a good "fit" for her,or for her not to be a good "fit" for you. That's why it's called dating. Have fun with it while it is happening and don't take it as a personal defeat when some woman tells you that you aren't what she is looking for in life. Big flipping deal. You are not trying to seal a multi-million dollar sales contract of trying to score the winning touchdown at a Super Bowl,you are just dating. It's something even high school kids can do.

There are something like 3.5 billion women in the world. Likely you'll find one who is a good fit and who you are the one. They like being in on the self-improvement thing, too. I haven't met many who don't regard us as fixer-uppers.

Sorry I missed this Wonderful Thread but @sneakypete offers excellent advice, Humor is indeed the ice breaker, I have gotten so many close hugs in Bars from Beautiful Women because I can make them Laugh. * If that doesn't work, go to a pawn shop and buy a cheap wedding ring, wear it. The Bad Woman out there like to sleep with a Married Man makes them feel safer about that 'commitment' thing, since you can't make them laugh at least they don't have to worry about you moving in.
*with me, not AT me.
