The problem is the sexual marketplace. It's a paradox where women are pickier yet men see this as them needing to be more emotional or sensitive.

Women are trying to make the sexual marketplace even more diluted with fat acceptance, slut acceptance, Hell even hygiene acceptance saying women don't need to be all clean and feminine all the time.

They do this while wanting the very best out of men and causing their "wall" to hit even sooner, hell I grew up thinking the wall was around 30-35 for women it seems closer to 23-25 nowadays. So these women still want to be seen as beautiful, still want to be desired even if they're very promiscuous and still want to be seen as special even though "everybody is special and beautiful"

The problem with this is one thing most men want is appreciation, they want to be praised and admired. The best way to do this now is to pander to women. To tell women what they want to hear and to do things they want. Most men become these beta cucks because
1. The dad bod was cool for like a day (the dad bod is easier to obtain than muscles)
2. Being a simp is easier than being a pimp (pandering and obeying women is easier than learning game)
3. The foods and stuff already lower testosterone
4. Its hard and scary to be a man
5. Porn is at such a high level that a man Can get revenge sex with a click of a button. So whats the point in learning game and getting women
6. Tinder makes it easier also
7. Media, social media, reddit, memes, etc etc all make it seem normal to be a beta, and white knighting in the comments is easier than being a warrior in life
8. Its expensive to be a man, well its cheaper to be a bitch
9. There's a weird thought process out there "At least i have her, i have to do all i can to keep her while i can"

Sorry for the long post but this is just my observation.

Personally can't decide between the pill and the smartphone.

It will be interesting to see how girls now in their late 20s / early 30s who have been taking the pill religiously for a dozen years plus handle trying to get pregnant.

Now would be a good time for any young MDs to get into the IVF game.

We have no identity anymore. Its offensive to be a proud white American in most cities. Every race except white people has another identity to fall back on. My family is from a long line of people who came here in the 1800's, I have no way of going back to England, Germany, France, or even knowing where I came from.

Simply, men are increasingly being discouraged from being real men, and so, without them, what other direction but downward can a society migrate toward?

Let's pull it back from an ethnocentric point of view.

It's offensive just to be a proud American in general, doesn't matter what race.

You think you whites have it bad? Try being a brown man speaking out against your entire liberal thought group.

The more alliances we have as Americans who are proud of their country the better.

We have an identity of a country, yes we're a melting pot, but the globalist are using divide and conquer tactics and they're doing a fantastic job at polarizing our nation on the far end of the spectrums, it's only accelerating also. Instead of being Americans and being able to meet in the middle and work out differences.

Bonehead LARPing Nazi's aren't doing shit, they never have, never will

Same goes for faggot antifa soy boys.


We have to unite and be vocal, we have to counter killshot labels like racist, bigot, ignorant.

My favorite example is when when a lefty friend is arguing with you, you calmly smile counter their points, let them keep getting angrier and angrier as politely as possible. You show people around them, who they truly are, an idiot with TDS.

Don't forget, the left is eating itself alive in it's own hypocrisy as well, ALWAYS add fuel to that fire.

The left HATES when you use their arguments against them.

I think our main problem is that we have no culture anymore - the dying remnants of what we used to celebrate don't count for much. This is one of the main reasons we have so many bored people looking for excitement through novelty like partying, sex, travel, or obsession with politics. The suburbs took white American culture and stabbed it in the heart repeatedly. The suburbs blended everyone together, then the Boomers stopped following their religions devoutly. Around the time the Millennials started to come of age, we all began wondering why this was such a boring country.

A lot of our holidays are now just pointless, and an excuse to drink make a meal that's slightly nicer than usual - sometimes it's just an excuse to drink with a theme to dress up under. Christmas and Thanksgiving have at least stayed alive, sort of, in a secular sense, but what's the point of Easter (preceded by Fat Tuesday boozing) without 40ish days of religious sacrifice, fasting, and increased church attendance? There's no fucking buildup and no reward! What's St. Patrick's Day supposed to be post-Christianity? How about Halloween/All Saint's Eve? All of these days don't really even break up the boring monotony of life if there isn't a point behind them. (I'm even angrier about this now that I've begun attending a traditionalist Catholic church - there are extra fasting days and feast days I never even learned about growing up. My own faith that my parents barely followed had plenty of vibrancy if I was just willing to read about it.)

I'd argue, actually, that ethnicities should have stuck to each other - I'm Italian, Eastern European, Irish, French, Arabic. My great-great-grandmother might have been stuck in the 1800s, but I can now see why she yelled at my Czech grandmother for marrying a "jackass Irishman". My top ethnicity is 39% of my DNA, and even that's questionable, as "Italian" varies greatly as you go across that country. What in the FUCK am I supposed to identify as? I can only name a few Italian dishes my mother made when I was growing up, and my father didn't cook. Stuff out of a Betty Crocker cookbook doesn't give you much of an appreciation for where you came from.

I loved the Middle East for this reason - the people had a culture they were excited about, and there were rigid expectations they had to live up to. When I shared with a local that most of our study abroad group didn't hang out with each other (the group of 30 separated into various cliques after about a week) he looked at me like I was crazy. "You're a bunch of Americans in a potentially dangerous country, and most of you don't even interact socially?"

Even if Trump fails, I think he's made us all feel alive in a way we've not felt as a country in quite some time. He's at least given me renewed hope that I'm not alone in wanting some traditionalism back.

Now I know they're probably after a party and having the novelty of a massive video recorder would draw a crowd.....but compare this in Florida 1987:





To the video 27 years later, in the same store recorded by the same man:





So sterile, people are more socially awkward, the dissolution of societal archetypes and shorthand has really fucked us good.

So be the light, be fearless, wherever you are in the western world. People just need a spark from another to remember whats its inside of them and what was once possible.

Excellent find, Syberpunk.

1st video:

Look at those old time racists. Glad we have moved on since then. Singing "It's a Small World" for God's sake.

What a sweet French girl. Who knew?

Collar up. Yeah, 80's confirmed.

Decades away from the phrase: Only in Florida.

Disappointed they already had Big Gulp sodas back then. The Illuminati don't mess around.

Random dude knows the model on the cover of Seventeen Magazine. It is starting to seem like an 80's movie.




That put me in a good mood. Think I will pass on the second vid.

For a while I didn't think the 1987 video looked that different from current times. The color quality was pretty good. The guys hair and clothing were no different than current styles. The first clue was the cashier, whose hairstyle was dated.

The thing that really gave it away that this was a long time ago was to see the girl and the manager smoking cigarettes inside the store.

Times have changed!

Loved this. First video reminds me of my childhood.

Takeaways:

People in the first video are generally much more social, more jovial, and seem happier. Contrasted by the people in the second video who are quieter, more rigid, and socially awkward; you can tell they want to be left alone more and are less accustomed to be approached and talked to casually by strangers.

In the first video that 7-11 was busy. There were 10 people they chatted with not including the friends they were there with and the staff, and it was 2:30am. There were also NO breaks in the film so that was over the course of only 9 minutes in the store. The second video they only chatted with 3 very sterile and uninteresting people (there was also a mother and her two kids in the background of one shot). There were also breaks in the filming of the second video so they definitely had to sit around the store longer just to get what minimal interaction they did, and it was 10:45pm.

The manager was cool as ice in the first video and smoking, and that first girl in the denim skirt is a solid WB also smoking. French girl was also cute as hell and fun. Everyone was cool and really captured how in yesteryear you actually could have fun just dicking around at the local convenience store.

More junk food nowadays and Big gulps are still $0.69.

Deeper thoughts: What we call "game" these days was simply being a normal socially well-adjusted human being as exemplified in the first video.

Modern American culture has got us shying away from normal, casual, healthy social situations between our peers. We've gotten so used to absorbing all of our "social interaction" through screens in a remote, disconnected manner that we have forgot what it's like to just bullshit with people and have fun doing nothing.

At first I actually thought almost everyone in the first video all knew eachother because of how friendly they were... Really puts things into perspective.

Thank you for sharing this video. I love the gayety of spirit that seems to fill everyone in the store. These aren't just moments of simpler times to be relished as a memory, I think, but a great reminder that life can and ought to be this way. It means a lot to me as an artist as a demonstration of the value of good humour. Everyone who appears here is an exemplar of a special kind of virtue which I have often underappreciated.

Interesting that soda has virtually not seen any price inflation since 1987! That`s probably due to the tax payer sponsored HFCS. If it was made with sucrose, not sponsored indirectly by tax payer subsidised agriculture, the price would have been so high that people had to really limit their consumption. (Sugar production is also somewhat subsidized though.)

The ultimate irony is that they wanna tax soda consumption now, when it`s so cheap due to being tax subsidized in the first place.

BTW; that French girl gave me a boner.

Most of us aren't even that old and the America of our youth has been killed, it's sad to think about. Everyone hit on the key things, demographic change, feminism, loss of masculinity, and obesity. All we can do is try our small part to fight the tide. Keep the faith.

Great post. Relations between the genders have definitely gotten more icy.

Quote:Deeper thoughts: What we call "game" these days was simply being a normal socially well-adjusted human being as exemplified in the first video.

Sadly, I think what's killed a lot of this is the lack of receptiveness by females to men. I noticed this when I was bar tending for a while. It's one thing for women to reject men, but the sheer nastiness of it that I've seen over the last 5-10 years has really escalated. Even when me and my friends were in full-on jackass stage in college in the early 2000s I can't remember women ever saying some of the shit to guys that they say now. Again, I understand men can definitely harass women and simply be a nuisance, but the degree of vitriol I saw with some of the women when they were rejecting men while I was bar tending was truly astounding.

Having the types of interactions seen in the first video takes two to tango, and if one side is crushing the other for simply trying to have these interactions, then the side of the receiving end is simply going to stop. I hear women complain about men not approaching them, but I think men have just been berated too much for trying to approach and simply not being the "right" guy.

Americans are very "disconnected" from one another aside from tight-knit social groups. I think that social isolation is a serious problem for many millions of people.

Think about how many housewives (or divorcees) sit in large empty suburban homes all day watching TV while spaced out on pharmaceutical drugs.

Most American men also lack a purpose or mission in life...so it's difficult for households to have any aspirations worth fighting for.

I'm naturally a very optimistic person so I don't really like to dwell on the negative too much, but I have to admit that America has a very confusing vibe nowadays. There's no cohesiveness or central goal.

All I can say is thank God that Trump has given us a "mini golden age" which gave some sliver of hope to millions of Americans out there.

The best remedy that I've found is opening a business with a greater mission or purpose that actually helps other people. This is really fucking hard to maneuver, but if you can pull it off, you can actually live in America and wake up happy with some amount of meaning and direction in your life.

Haha yeah! The loss of culture happened once the McGuffey Readers and Greco-Roman philosophy were removed from public education and replaced with Dick and Jane tripe and standardized testing. The elite of industry wanted a population of malleable workers instead of independent thinkers. Add in leftist educators like screwy Dewey and the Frankfurt School, and the Prussian system of creating an obedient citizenry and you have disaster on your hands.

http://www.pappaspost.com/the-classical-...ed-states/

Fortunately, 30,000 of the McGuffey Readers are still sold today so some kids are being educated in the right way.

Another example that shows how far America has fallen is 20th President James Garfield. He was fluent in Greek and Latin and campaigned in English and German. Garfield was also ambidextrous and said to entertain people by writing a note in Greek with one hand and the same note in Latin with the other. One can't make that last story up about any of the presidents who served in the last three decades.

It's funny you mention the suburbs when people opposed their development on the grounds that they separated people from nature and community, creating feelings of isolation and alienation which would lead them right into the hands of the state and corporations. Combine that with feminism, which made the household and social solidarity disintegrate and left kids to be preyed upon even more by the state and corporations, and the culture died since corporations were able to brainwash people to feel cultured with the latest fads, the state convinced them that they can't live without it and both pushed anti-Christian stuff. Social media is just another nail in the coffin since it's a further enhancement of the isolation and alienation began by the other two phenomenon and made people more accepting that big brother is always over their shoulder.

Several other things to consider are the complete separation of ages (kids in school, working adults at work, seniors in care facilities), lack of technical stuff (shop class) and home economics in schools now, and the corporatization/technicization of the American mind (no spontaneous and unreflective behavior, everything must be rational and deliberate to a predetermined end).

The lost of one's ancestral Old World culture due to blending would not be so bad if America hadn't ditched the Classical education and religion (see the three melting pot effect). Tbh, I'm majority Scandinavian since both of my grandmothers came from the desolate US/Canadian border area of the Upper Midwest that is still dominated by ethnic groups from that region today.
