I would also agree with this; when things happen the reason is not always apparent, but what it does is give you a moment of decision and the reason is that moment. As we all know from every situation there is a potential gain.

The choice you make affects the reason's outcome. This is certainly my experience.

I recommend that every guy on this forum avoids these words and phrases. Not necessarily things that losers say ... but subconsciously communicate low value to people around you.

I'm sorry: delete that word from your vocabulary except to offer condolences.

Kinda': Not in the context of "A Falcon is a kind of bird" but something like " I'm kinda wanted to go fishing". Be a man and say you want to go fishing. Don't hint at what you want to do like a woman.

Amazing/Incredible/Crazy: to describe mundane events like trying out some above average burrito at the new Mexican restaurant. All it signals is that you're easily pleased and impressed. "It's good, i like it" shall suffice.

I can't: when someone asks you to join them for an event or borrow money. 95% of the time you say "I can't" when in reality you just don't want to. A simple "Thanks, but i got other plans" will do.

Good for you: phrase frequented by feminine and passive aggressive men. Obvious loser/beta tell. Polite way of saying fuck off.

Talking about the weather: unless you're over 65 or a woman , no complaining about the weather or saying stuff like "Oh, it's nice outside" to initiate small talk with strangers or co-workers. Except when the weather is related to something you plan on doing like "It's sunny today, i might go fishing".

"I just don't have time to do that..." -- This is one used by knob warriors who don't want to MAKE time to do things that are important.

"War never solves anything." --- Yes, it does. War has solved a great many things in the world, and will continue to do so.

"I'm not good with languages." Yes, you are. Human beings speak them. You are a human being.

"Let me check with my wife on that." -- Self-explanatory.

"I'm thinking of writing a novel..." --You don't think about it. You either are going to do it, or not do it.

"Have a blessed day." --Passive aggressive way of letting me know that they are holier than I am.

"You're a racist/misogynist/homophobe/[insert any other insult]" --This the wimp's way of trying to demean you for having strong opinions.

"....but there's nothing wrong with that" ---A cover-your-ass statement appended to the end of something that might trigger a SJW or a wuss. Very often, there IS something wrong with that.

"I'm a vegan." Dork. One of life's key pleasures is consuming food. In moderation, of course.

"I'm a vegetarian." Dork. See above.

"I need my 8 hours of sleep." Fuck off with your sleep. Tortises sleep.

"I can't eat spicy food." Wimp.

"I see myself as creative." Said by people who have never created anything.

"I think outside the box." Said by dickheads who think inside the box.

"I'm hypoglycemic." I don't give a shit. Fuck you.

"I'm hyperglycemic." I don't know the difference, and I don't care.

"I have an addiction problem." Translation: I lack the fanatical willpower needed to solve my problems.

"There are two sides to every story." Sometimes there is only one side.

"I see myself as spiritual but not religious." Said by lazy fucks who don't want to submit to anything.

"What are you looking for here on Tinder?" What the fuck do you think, asswipe? This is a dating app. A asinine shit test.

"I'm fine just the way I am"

Post: #85

This thread is cracking me up but I take issue with a few of these (or maybe I'm just a loser)

"Have a blessed day." I like this. I can think of a few people that have said it to me and looking into their eyes I know they meant it. I believe there is a spirituality that goes beyond organized religion and you can convey this to another person. It came across as genuine and compassionate. Nothing wrong with that.

Quote:Amazing/Incredible/Crazy: to describe mundane events like trying out some above average burrito at the new Mexican restaurant. All it signals is that you're easily pleased and impressed. "It's good, i like it" shall suffice.

I use hyperbolic speech on occasion, "Man that meal was crazy good." and believe me, if there's anything I'm NOT it's easy to please or impress. There's a certain dialect of Southern California dude-speak that I've been raised with and am happy to represent. I get told on occasion that I have an accent but they can't place it. You wouldn't get it unless you've spent time in Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo, Calabasas and the like.

Quote:Good for you: phrase frequented by feminine and passive aggressive men. Obvious loser/beta tell. Polite way of saying fuck off.

There's nothing wrong with congratulating someone with these words. If someone got a job or hustled some cash or banged some hot ass I'd certainly be inclined to say "Right on man, good for you!"

Quote:Talking about the weather: unless you're over 65 or a woman , no complaining about the weather or saying stuff like "Oh, it's nice outside" to initiate small talk with strangers or co-workers. Except when the weather is related to something you plan on doing like "It's sunny today, i might go fishing".

I talk about the weather all the time but I'm genuinely interested in it. There's a certain savoire faire in discussing the weather, like, "Yeah things should be clearing up with that high pressure system that's rolling in." Or, "Man, check out those cumulonimbus!" Discussing the weather goes against convention; imagine a group of office drones in a break room discussing the latest Amy Poehler skit or some other inane Hollywood bullshit, and you stand there staring pensively out the window with a self-satisfied grin..."Nice weather today. It's a good day to be alive."

Has anyone noticed that some people, when you convincingly contradict something that they have said, wait a few beats in the conversation, then paraphrase what you just said as if it was what they meant all along, or it is something new they are enlightening you about?

It is passive aggression that at least has a kind of sophistication to it.


It is also a way of never admitting you are wrong, like there is any honor in that.

@Veloce:

Hehehe...

Yeah, some of the things I said were erring on the humor side, but you can see the general gist of what I was getting at.

I don't really think everyone who says "have a blessed day" is a "loser"...it's more about the overall impression one gets.




My point really is this: I hate malingerers, pack-droppers, quitters, slime-bags, excuse-warriors, holier-than-thou shitheads, SJWs, and all sorts of dunces who use words and phrases to misrepresent and obfuscate.

But you have to admit: many people hide behind platitudes as a way of avoiding taking action to fix problems. This really is the gist of my point.

I also hate hearing about people's fucking back problems, fibromyalgia problems, and all that nonsense.

Most of the time, they are lazy shits who need a good kick in the ass.

These are people that are afraid to disagree. That doesn't just make them a loser but a pussy as well.

I was at a holiday party and I started to refute some whiny bitch who was talking about the gender pay gap and there was a hush over the room. I followed up my statement with , "...but you know, I'm just a misogynist." The look on her face was priceless and she just said, "Okaaayyyy, I probably shouldn't be talking to you." and I beamed the widest smile I could muster. Her boyfriend was standing next to her and was staring off into space trying to enjoy his beer, wishing he was somewhere else. Most people just really prefer to be in an echo chamber.

Quote:But you have to admit: many people hide behind platitudes as a way of avoiding taking action to fix problems. This really is the gist of my point.

Absolutely. I find most people speak exclusively in platitudes without saying anything of substance whatsoever. As if our sole purpose of existence is to walk on eggshells around each other. Those of us that put a healthy dose of blood and guts in our speech are labelled "assholes".

Quote:I also hate hearing about people's fucking back problems, fibromyalgia problems, and all that nonsense.

There's truly nothing worse than hearing about someone's health issues when they have done nothing to alleviate it. But there's a big difference between:

"My back is all fucked up but doing a couple years of yoga and powerlifting has cleared a lot of the issues."

and

"My back pain is killing me. These prescription meds aren't doing shit."

Post: #93

"In my opinion". I'll admit I catch myself saying this on occasion but I think I've done a pretty good job of eliminating it from my speech. Maddox had a good tirade on this one.

"In my opinion". Yeah? No shit? Who else would it belong to? It's automatically understood that when you say something, it's YOUR perspective and not some higher universal law.

Conversely, when someone says, "Well that's just your opinion." Yeah? No shit? Thanks for pointing that out. You've basically admitted that I won this conversation and you have nothing of substance to contribute. "That's just your opinion" is also a smokescreen for when you've offended someone.

One thing all of us really need to keep in mind is not to complain too much about physical problems.

I was visiting my retired parents in Florida once and met some of their elderly friends.

Old people love to talk about their operations, health problems, circulation, sleep problems, and all that.

And most of the time it's their own fault for not getting into shape when they were young, and still not getting into shape when they're old.

That kind of talk is really off-putting.

I said to myself, "I'm never going to be like this. Ever."

Nothing is more depressing than listening to some broken down old Sad Sack whine about his health problems.

This goes with a whole method of talking, it's close friends include; "like", "you know", "sort of", and "maybe".

The trick is to make every sentence into a question, that way nobody could ever accuse you of being certain about anything.
