Troy Funny you mention women with accents. I've been attracted to women with foreign accents since I was a kid. I think men are psychologically (and perhaps biologically) programed to find foreign accents attractive for a number of reasons. Not only are they "different" or "exotic" but if they come from another nation that usually means they are further away from the gene pool and less likely to produce defects that come from inbreeding.

Troy This is easy to resolve just do a search for the post and share it. It doesn't need to be resolved because on MY end it's not a problem...lol. It's not that important to me. I know what I read and understood it clearly. Yeah, I don’t know if guys asking girls out less or if this is just some social media hype, but I did notice a couple of things that I think hurt the culture: Young males (men and boys) approach females FAR less today than when we were children. They rarely even flirt anymore. I think it's been "beat" out of them by so many messages in the media, online, and at work that tell them approaching women in assertive manner is considered "harassment". Even if it's on the street....."street harassment". Ofcourse some men ignore this, but the majority take it seriously. Especially if you've been or you've seen someone punished at work or by law enforcement for being assertive or aggressive. I don’t begrudge any person in their 20s living at home, especially in places like New York; the “rent is too damn high.” Seriously, if parents have the space why force a kid to move out when they can be saving money. Living at home in your 20s is one thing. Living at home with your parents in your 40s and 50s is another...lol. Especially if you have a history or drugs and alcohol abuse. There's a fine line between "helping out" your elderly parents and basically living off of them. I would imagine for men it is really hard today; you graduate from college saddled with debt, back in your childhood bedroom, can’t afford to take a girl out to a nice restaurant… the culture has not changed so much that this can’t wreck havoc with your self-esteem. What's even worse is....these are the type of conditions most MACHO men in the past used to revolt against. Back in the "old days" of history, most men wouldn't tolerate such conditions and would get together and DEMAND good decent paying jobs. Either from private employers or from the government itself. They had wives to support and children to feed, so they had far more responsibilities to simply accept "we're not hiring" or minimum wage. They'd organize, form unions, and DEMAND higher pay. Today most men aren't married and many of them aren't taking care of the children they produce anyway, so there's no real pressure on them to be the bread winner or even work...let alone demand a decent wage. AI replacing all entry level professional jobs will only make things worse— unless we take action to avert the pending disaster. Goes back to what I was saying about men no longer having the responsibilities they used to have to motivate them. When a man's back is against the wall and he's getting pressure from his wife, children, and possibly even his elderly parents who are all relying on HIM to make enough money to support them -that FORCES him into action. The powers that be were AFRAID to let conditions get too bad for the men in society...in those days...because they KNEW what would happen. Today, most men don't want to work or the responsibility of raising a family anyway....so low income is just the excuse they need.

That's ok She's used to it....lol.

@aka Contrarian I completely missed your desire to have someone comment on your observations, at least it wasn’t clear to me until your last post. The difference between this forum and social media platforms like TikTok are profound. Sure in some cases, the content might be just as trivial, silly, incorrect, deep sublime, witty as anything that you’ll find on social media one main difference you consistently ignore, however, is that a tremendous amount of time, energy and money goes into deliberately hacking into the brain of the users of the systems and they have been very effective. There are no Scientist here trying to keep you engaged on this platform 24/7 We don’t even have ads here anymore. You ignore all the evidence which speaks to the adverse impact of this on our society. But it’s fine not everyone is going to get it or if they get it accept it. It is much like pioneer refusal to accept, there’s no scientific basis for race or getting Harry realize not all ministers are money grubbing womanizers.

Ironically I can make people laugh.

If the website are search engine, can’t find it use Google’s search engine. — Yeah, I don’t know if guys asking girls out less or if this is just some social media hype, but I did notice a couple of things that I think hurt the culture: (1)I remember taking my daughter to dances. All the girls would dance with each other and the boys would be on the side. I thought this was really strange because this is the age where we began asking girls to dance one on one As I’ve gotten older, I noticed adults do the same thing. All the women are line dancing and the dude sitting at the table or bar watching… As far as taking women out in a world where women often make more than men, men feel cheated, having to pay for everything. I don’t begrudge any person in their 20s living at home, especially in places like New York; the “rent is too damn high.” Seriously, if parents have the space why force a kid to move out when they can be saving money.

??? Why can't anybody get the gist of my post which was in response to the consensus among you that social media is a religion and people who follow it are gullible, because its content is, for the most part, just junk! Yet, YOU YOURSELVES, have no problem with being entertained by pioneer's "junky" blaxplotation movie which is equivalent to what you criticize on social media, sooo - said movie belongs on a social medium forum like TIK TOK rather than a discussion forum site!! As usual The Strawman went all off on a tangent blabbing about something that had very little to do with the inconsistency I was pointing out. And nobody has yet to specifically address my observation. Delano came closest.

@Delano it is harder to make smart, older people laugh.

Oh, I’ve seen more of this. But I don’t think the foreign Bourne women have an advantage over the homegrown sisters. Sometimes a woman from the Caribbean has a leg up as dudes sometimes find their accent, sexy. Stereotypes are based upon stereotypes. Just because you find one doesn’t mean they’re all like that. I bet if we went to China right now I’m better at math than the majority of Chinese people in China and I’m not that good at math, I have just studied a lot of it. While less than 20% of Chinese people have graduated from college. Would you look at me and say that Black people are better at math in Chinese people? So I guess it depends on what you call a fact. I just gave you a fact that conflicts with a stereotype. The actual fact is Black people in Chinese people on taking as a group very likely have negligible differences in mathematical aptitude all things being equal.

That spare tire on the back always cracked me up. Straight pimp vibes.

Yep. Definitely an example of when it goes sideways. Apparently, their son has a major drug problem. They've been dealing with it for decades. Really bad for their duaghter who found her parents unalived. There was no manhunt. Yet, it took the authorities about 12 hours to name the suspect. They already had knew who to pick up. Sure enough, they found the Reiner's son in a park that is popular among drug addicts. Law enforcement took him down without firing a single shot. Amazing how they can do that with certain people despite the way this fella went all Halloween on his parents allegedly.

it reminded me of what AKA C has been calling you lately I figured the Mag might appeal to you

"Oooooh shit honey.... Later for them jive ass Chicago Bears...my JAM is on! Move out the way sucka....and pass Mamma that bottle of muscatel." "Got DAMN gull....... You rockin' the whole house with all that shakin' and shit! I thought we was havin' one of them California Earthquakes. You ain't Michael Jaxun! Shit..... You keep bouncin' yo big necked ass 'round like that and I'ma change yo name from from Dolemita to THUNDA CLAPS!"

Social median is not for me. Or at keast it is a smaller part of my life. I look at the various things posted amd realise I am not their audience. I dont comsider myself a snob or elitist. I just gravitaye to things that engage me mentally or emotionally. From time to time I do watch low brow videos. Since it is kind of a window to popular culture. The other thing I have noticed is that most comedians don't make me laugh and aren't even amusing. It could be that I'm jaded or maybe I resemble @aka Contrarian indictments

Come on @Chevdove, what's the scoop on 31/Atlas??? Don't tell me you ain't been following it....lol.

The youngstas just don't know how cool it was to have white wall tires...lol. Those were the "spinning rims" of the 70s.

I'll tell you what. Sign your Social Security and Post Office pension checks over to me and I'll log out and stop posting on here; deal? I'll be just a distant memory.....lol. "No trace of 'em here......"

And, as usual, you come up with the same ol response, unable to handle the truth. You're so in love with yourself that you can't fathom the idea that someone else would find you irritatingly obnoxious. I wish there was a repellent that would permeate the screen of my phone and chase you away permanently. Ugh.

-All of that energy for somebody she CLAIMS she could care less about? You can believe it if you want to.....lol.

@Pioneer1LMAO Classic pioneer drivel. Creating a situation that will cast him as the someone who has it all together, while mis-chacterizing others. Lying and distorting and lecturing.Your usual crock of non sequiturs and false equivalencies. Nothing you wrote had any relevance to what I said about social media. All that drivel you spewed was just a rant you probably had stashed away, just waiting to get off your chest because I continue to deflate your claim about me liking instead of despising you. You obviously have a big problem with my fighting fire-with-fire when it comes to you and your meglomanical personality. You can't stand to hear the truth about yourself. You expect me to be intimidated by you and it deflates your bloated ego to have your balls busted, to be exposed as the stupid wuss that you are. Frustrated because I won't "act like a lady", sulking because I never agree with your blather. Feelings hurt because I didn't like a song you posted for me. Miffed because I didn't appreciate the stupid-assed post you started for me. Yet, you act as though I'm trying to win your approval. Get outta here. Go cry on the shoulder of whomever is putting all these silly ideas in your head. I can't believe that you think I need consoling about your behavior toward me because don't. I ALWAYS consider the source when dealing with you. I wouldn't expect you to act any other way. You're a jive assed narcisstic asshole. Remember? Nor am I the least bit interested in getting along with you. I don't want to be your friend. I don't like you. You are person of poor character, a psycho - who can never take a person at face value. Instead you have to cast everybody as a character in the scenarios you create in your warped mind, always making sure you're the good guy. The smartest dude. Not. I could go on and on. But be assured that because I have zero respect for your approval, it makes me no difference if you continue your campaign of ridicule. I'm a big girl. And you're a little snot. So there. And, unlike you, I'm aware that people on this board don't "take sides. " Getta life, Loser.

This statement reminds me of Rob Reiner and his wife possibly being offed by their own son. I've read so many accounts lately of kids killing their own parents, and it's almost always adult kids over 30 who were STILL LIVING with them! Every time I see a story about a kid murdering their own parent, I keep reading further down because I know they're going to talk about how they were sharing the same house or apartment or the kid was homeless and crashed there from time to time.

Right. As long as they are not bringing hurt, harm and danger to other folks. Those who enable and/or sponsor lazy dudes have to deal with it and they had better not complain when it goes sideways.

The song Bad Mama Jama came out in 1981. The pimps and playas of the 1980s would ride around blasting it in their rides: This was right before they had Jheri curls and were dripping activator everywhere.

ProfD Like you said in another thread, America is a "free" society. We know it's not actually unrestricted....but there is LESS restriction than in most other nations. Minus the chemicals being put in the water and the social engineering manipulation.....lol.....this type of society is ideal in my opinion. Where men who are lazy are ALLOWED to be lazy and weak, so they can be recognized for who and what they are. People should be free to be themselves and pursue their own desires/interests. Like Phil says on his talk show, I love lazy people because I don't have to worry about competition from them.

We dont we can only watch and wait....by their fruits shall we know
