Appreciating your girlfriend is one of the best things you can do to keep your relationship fresh, interesting, and exciting. :D

All too often, we completely ignore or just plain fail to acknowledge “the little things” that our gals do for us that make our lives so much better.

Sure.. We make sure she “gets hers”, but other than that, what are we really doing for the special women in our lives? o_O

How about next time she cooks you that fantastic meal, which she also planned out and shopped for during her free time after she finished working all day, you pick up a sponge and gladly do the family dishes?

How about next time you pass that store, and see a pair of jeans on display that will make your girl look particularly fat-assed and delectable, you roll right in there and buy them for her?

How about next time, instead of inviting her to come see Conan The Barbarian with you in the theater, you ask her which boring-ass chick flick you can suffer through for her sole benefit?

How about next time SHE wants to go out with her girlfriends, you don’t call the act of staying at home with your own biological child you had with her “babysitting”?

How about next time, instead of falling dead asleep after the fact, you take one for the team and force yourself to cuddle with her?

Yes.. I realize that you’re only dating her for sex and entertainment, but there’s so much more you can do to make her experience exciting and worthwhile in the meantime.

Turn your brain off. Think to yourself “If I were a chick, what would I want to do right now? o_O” and then go with the flow.

Go shopping with her at the mall. Just make sure you don’t end up on the bench with the Health-Tex-Wearing husbands whose wives have dressed them up as little kids to ensure that they never get sex from a female other than them ever again in life.

Take that walk with her through Central Park when you’d rather watch that football game that’s more important to you than she is right now.

Go antique-shopping with her when you don’t give a flying **** about old-ass furniture.

Take her out for that lavish Italian meal instead of taking her on dates to the gym so she can work out and stay in the type of shape you enjoy.

Spend the day with her at her Grandmother’s house with the rest of her family in attendence, playing it off like you’re not hooking up with her every hour that you’re physically awake…

Pretending that you’re not hooking up with your girlfriend, *NOT* pretending that you’re not hooking up with her Grandmother…

I mean.. If you *ARE* hooking up with her Grandmother, you want to play that off too, but, um….

Anyway… It’ll all be worth it. I guarantee you. The happier you make her, the happier she’ll make you.

So, Fellaz!!!… Pick up that sponge and grin your way into a fantastic and ultimately fulfilling relationship! >:D

A lot of people seriously overestimate the amount of influence they have in their relationships. This is because they don’t understand how and why they were selected by their significant other in the first place.

Equality

You’re not going to be an equal until THE OTHER PERSON in the relationship considers you one. What *you* think about your own importance to them has no bearing whatsoever.

If a guy’s dating a gal because she has a fantastic ass, he’s going to play it off that he’s with her for her personality.

If a gal’s dating a guy because he spends a lot of money on her and she looks good in his car, she’s going to play it off that she’s with him for his personality.

Down the line, when the rubber meets the road, situations sometimes occur where you get to find out, for better or for worse, just how important you are or AREN’T in your current relationship.

Like we learned in “Animal Farm”.. Some people are More Equal than others…

Apology

Reader “Tron” writes:

“Many relationships die for lack of an apology. Offenses are real and they fracture relationships. Time alone will not heal a broken relationship. The healing process begins with a sincere apology. The apology doesn’t immediately restore the relationship, but it does open the door to forgiveness, and forgiveness opens the door to reconciliation.”

There are a lot of reasons why people don’t apologize in relationships. Some people are brainwashed that if you apologize, you look like a sucker and you’re better off retaining your hard-rock image instead of letting the other person think they can get over on you. Other people, including myself, are really great at saying what doesn’t matter and horrible at saying what *does* matter.

I went out with a friend of mine for drinks the other day and she looked fantastic.. absolutely edible! :P~~~ But since I didn’t want that concept hovering over our relationship, I didn’t mention it to her. The closest I got was complimenting her hair, which always looks fantastic, so that was kind of a “safe” compliment to hand out.

In other cases, you don’t get an apology because your SO doesn’t give a flying **** about what you think or feel. It’s not even a consideration. It doesn’t occur to them to consider how a situation might have affected you because they’re not with you to care about YOU.

Let’s say, for instance, that a guy’s financially self-sufficient and he selects a gal to date because she turns him on and he likes having sex with her. What’s his incentive to treat her as an equal when it comes to decision-making? Nothing. Who cares what she thinks as far as how he should spend his money or where they should go on vacation? Nobody.

Similarly, if a chick’s using a guy for money, who cares about his romantic yadda yadda? Nobody. What difference does it make what he thinks she should wear or how much alcohol he thinks she should drink? None.

Apologies are based on the feeling of having done something you shouldn’t have done and also feeling poorly that you made someone else feel poorly or let them down. If you have to read a statement off of a piece of paper, for instance :/ it’s probably not much of an apology.

Proper apologies aren’t excuses. It’s not like “Whoops. Sorry ’bout that”. It’s more like “I understand why that was a bad thing to do and I’m not going to do it again because XYZ and I’m sorry that my dumb or non-thinking actions hurt you”. It’s an indication that you learned something from the situation and that you intend to do better in the future.

The only way that can happen is if you have actual respect for your SO. A lot of people consider this a ‘given’ in relationships, but it just isn’t.

If their main value to you is their physical and/or financial utility, you’re likely to feel that sense of loss like finding out you dropped a $5 bill on the floor when you pulled your keys out of your pocket, but then it’s like “Oh well.. If anything, I’ll get another one. \o/”.

Honesty

Reader “Christine” writes:

” How do men and women share complete honesty without the woman, even accidentally, emasculating the man? Without aiding him in finding his inner HERB. If women are successful in opening up their man and convince him to share all with complete honesty, a woman may lose respect for a man for giving her what she claimed she wanted and had to have. If he discovers how good it feels to gush, tell her everything, his hopes and fears and deepest secrets, he risks being totally attainable and therefore undesirable.”

I think that this is similarly an issue of selection and respect.

There are two parts to this issue, the action and the consequence. The action being the honest sharing and the consequence being how each person feels about themselves and about their SOs after the fact.

Honest Sharing is only necessary when you consider your SO an equal. If you don’t, then their opinion isn’t going to sway your decision regardless, so there’s no point in discussing the truth with them. If you’re a guy and you intend to marry a chick and still mess with 14 girls over a 3 year period, there’s no reason for you to bring this up for debate with her because her opinion doesn’t count for ****. Nobody cares what she thinks about what you intend to do with your life because it’s YOUR life, not hers.

If you’re a gal and you’re dating three guys and one of them buys you breakfast, one of them buys you lunch and the third buys you dinner, who cares about whether any of them think you should be dating them exclusively? Nobody. If one guy wants to take you out on his yacht this weekend and the next guy wants to take you to his villa on Monday and the third guy wants to take you shopping on Tuesday, why the hell shouldn’t you get everything you can get from potential suitors?

Respect

If both participants in a relationship consider each other equals, *NOW* we have a platform for discussion, debate and perhaps compromise or mutual agreement. This is where I believe the answer to Christine’s question lies. It’s not in the gender, but rather in the relationship.

The reason a woman would feel like she was emasculating a man by putting her foot down and becoming a part of the decision-making is that he never considered her worthy of making decisions in the first place.. not for herself and CERTAINLY not for him! :D Let’s say, however, that he’s a computer programmer and she’s an accountant. He would be A FOOL not to listen to and follow what she had to say about the family finances. “I’m a guy, so I automatically know better” only works for guys that deliberately select mentally inferior females to date.

At the same time, women aren’t doing anybody any favors by not stepping up and voicing their opinions when they know damned well that they have a better grasp on this situation than their man does. If you don’t want to get caught in that “I’m just a blonde female idiot” trap, don’t play that role from the giddyap. Of course, conventional wisdom says that if you don’t play Damsel In Distress, you won’t be selected for a relationship by the guys who are looking for women who know how to look good, be sexy, cook, clean, bear & raise kids and entertain guests at dinner parties. That’s the chance you have to take. If he doesn’t respect you coming in the door, it’s going to be tough for you to gain respect in the future.

As far as emasculating guys, the only guys that’s going to happen to weren’t very masculine in the first place. O_o

Mentality

Mentally strong men know to only create alliances with mentally strong women. This is because there are rare times when you can’t do EVERYTHING yourself and you’re going to have to depend on her to come through in the clutch. If you selected some gullible female so it was easy for you to get laid, she’s also probably not going to be able to handle the responsibility of whatever you need her to do, that ONE TIME that it really counts for something.

The point being that IF a woman was selected for her mental capabilities, it might hurt his ego if she says something he doesn’t like or talks about something he needs to fix or change, but at the same time, he has to respect what she’s saying because he vetted her for intelligence and common sense before aligning himself with her. If a female coaches softball for a successful team and she offers me suggestions on improving my swing or batting stance, DAMNED ******* SKIPPY I’m going to listen to her and attempt to benefit from her wisdom & experience.

The problem occurs when the guy doesn’t BELIEVE she has ANY wisdom OR experience, which only comes to light when she tries to involve herself in the decision-making process. As long as she’s just running her mouth about stuff that you can “Yes her to death” about and it doesn’t have any actual bearing on anything important, guys can pretend that they’re paying attention to and considering their girlfriends’ or wives’ opinions about things. As soon as it matters, like when she suggests that you trade in your Porsche for a Minivan to lug your kids around town, that’s when you find out that if he wants your opinion, he’ll give it to you. :D

Reality

So.. My theory is that Honesty, Respect, & Heartfelt Apologies are only available to people that were determined to be worthy of those things before the relationship ever started or earned that level of consideration at some point along the way. People have to act like they respect each other to get a foot in the door, but in a lot of cases, it’s just not true. A lot of people think their boyfriends or girlfriends are absolute IDIOTS, but they don’t have to bring that up because being intelligent wasn’t part of their job description from jump street and so long as they don’t let that person make ANY important decisions, they never have to engage in the conversation about what their REAL role in this relationship is.

To directly address Christine’s question, men and women can share complete honesty with each other when a) they both respect each other, and b) they’re willing to let their relationship die because something one of them doesn’t like comes to light. Most people fail the test for part (b), so Complete Honesty is rarely a component of anyone’s relationship.

If you’re into buying chicks but you don’t want to look like a trick, make sure you don’t overdo it as far as how fine the chick is compared to how YOU look.

Granted, we all want to bang the hottest chicks… It’s how guys are built. However, if your goal is to look like a playboy rather than a customer, make sure you hire chicks that people actually BELIEVE you could have possibly pulled on your own.

Nobody’s impressed with someone that happens to have an extra $4,000 that they’re willing to toss at a chick to do what regular chicks will do in the bar bathroom for free.

It’s like in the movie “Gladiator”. Russell Crowe is a MAN. He steps to the front lines and does what needs to be done. Joaquin Phoenix is a HERB, but he happens to be the ruler’s son, so he wants respect. His respect is entirely dependent upon people’s reverence towards his father. He has no individual props of his own. Russell is respected everywhere he goes, because his track record of honor and valor and being a straight-up WARRIOR rings bells everywhere he goes.

Similarly, if one of your goals in kickin’ it to chicks is to be seen as a player, make sure the chicks LOOK like as if they’re not on the payroll. The reason I bring this up is that some guys are actually interested in how attractive OTHER GUYS think the girl they’re with is. They really get a kick out of that. Basically, you want to seem like the type of guy that ladies actually LIKE and would spend time with instead of a guy that has a ton of money to waste and consistently patronizes hookers.

If you’re just not interested in any chicks that aren’t top-notch as far as looks and sexual ability, keep it under the hat. I was hanging out in a hotel bar one night that had a glass wall which allowed a full view of the hotel lobby leading to the elevators. I wasn’t facing the lobby, but I saw the guys I was talking to ALL focusing on the same thing, which was apparently moving slowly from my left to my right. I turn around to see what they’re looking at, and it’s this dude in a suit, leading these two chicks to the elevators. It was clear the guy wasn’t “dating” either one of them, but rather was delivering the merchandise to the client’s room. My response to that was “heh… Looks like someone ordered out”.

Would I have given credit to whomever (or however many guys) got to tag up on those chicks? Nope. It’s pretty much like a car. You might have a nice car, but anybody else that has that amount of money to spend on a car can have the exact same thing. No props.

I saw an even better one (again, in a hotel) where this middle-aged, no-looks-having dude was literally surrounded by like six asian chicks that didn’t speak A WORD of English while I was listening in. It was absolute madness. He could afford them, so more power to him, but does he get props for that? Nope. He couldn’t have actually pulled ONE of those women, let alone SIX! hahaha.. I hope they were a write-off.

See, it’s one thing, like if you’re a celebrity, like… say… Charlie Sheen… to pull a random name out of a hat. :)

If you’re a celebrity, you require DISCRETION. It’s important that the chick looks good, so you’re motivated to tap that, but it’s just as important for her to STFU after the fact. That’s what you’re paying the money for. You can’t afford to mess with some random chick that’s going to go running her mouth all over creation because she’s star-struck.

It’s actually kind of funny. I’ve met several women who used to date Rock Stars and Baseball Players and even more than 10 years after the fact, it’s STILL a feather in their caps. It’s a brand of quality to them that this particularly picky person chose them to have sex with and dated them for a period of time. That’s all well and good until some chick decides to Monica Lewinsky you and your business is all in the streets.

On top of that, you could actually imagine that one of these hookers was actually dating Charlie Sheen. He’s a famous Hollywood guy from a dynasty of actors and he’s been known to date models & actresses anyway, so hookers aren’t that far removed from that set. What about YOU though?

If you’re normally seen with regular chicks and then all of a sudden, this stunning broad appears out of nowhere, all hugged up on you like as if you were the last Louis Vuitton bag in New York City… Everybody knows that’s not your girl… She’s an employee.

Free Stuff

“The best things in life are free… But you can keep them for the birds & bees… Now give me money (that’s… what I want) that’s what I want…”

“Your love will give me a thrill… But your lovin’ don’t pay my bills… Now give me money (that’s… what I want) that’s what I want…”

“Money don’t get everything, it’s true… What it don’t get… I can’t use!… Now give me money (that’s… what I want) that’s what I want…”

Everybody loves free stuff! *FREE* *STUFF*!!! :D

How free is “free”, though? Did you ever stop and think about how much free stuff costs you? Right now, you’re thinking “A-DUH!… It costs me NOTHING, by the definition of FREE!”. So let’s take a look at why some “free” things cost you more than the money you SHOULD have spent on them.

While you think about that as we go through a few examples, consider whether your BUSINESS can afford to utilize “free” goods & services.

Enhancing functionality or productivity

A few weeks ago, I wanted to enhance the functionality of my computer/music/editing setup. I knew exactly where I was and where I wanted to go, but I wasn’t sure about which software I wanted to add to my system.

The first thing I did was think about it myself. Let’s say I thought about it for 10 minutes. I decided that I didn’t have the information “on me”, so I started searching the net.

There are lots of people in Google results that don’t know what they’re talking about, which is what some people say about my dating advice blog, but that’s neither here nor there. :) Searching Google didn’t help me much, because there weren’t people already doing what I was planning to do, so I didn’t consider any of them AUTHORITIES on my particular situation.

Let’s say I spent about an hour (I probably spent more than that) on searching the net. I came away with a good idea of what the most common software was that people were using to their satisfaction.

Next, I hopped on Twitter and tossed a question out to whomever happened to currently be paying attention out of my 2206 followers. Relatively quickly, I got an answer from Rob Blatt, which confirmed what I had gathered from my Google searches. The difference is that I know that Rob knows what he’s doing and I trust his opinion when it comes to things that he’s already done that I’m currently trying to do.

The time I spent on Twitter was the amount of time it took me to think up the post, post my question and read Rob’s response. Let’s call that 5 minutes, though it was probably less.

What to do with the info?

By now, I’ve spent an hour and 15 minutes on this issue, buy my own guesstimation, and I have EXACTLY the information I need to move forward and BE PRODUCTIVE with my time……. EXCEPT…….

The information I received indicated that I needed to PAY for the software. *screeching tires*… This is where we get to the point of this post. :)

Option #1 would have been to spend the money and move forward with the added functionality and productivity that I KNEW was right there in front of me.

Option #2, which obviously I TOOK, or else I wouldn’t be able to write this post, was “There’s got to be a better way!… Now that I know the functionality I need, there has got to be a *FREE* software solution to this!”

Stop being cheap!

I’ll tell you right now why I selected the wrong option. The software that I needed cost < $50. I had already spent more than an hour researching & asking around. Let's say I made a plan to only spend 45 minutes trying to find a free solution. That means I've taken myself out of the game for two hours in return for ~$50. I can't do ANYTHING other than search for this "free" solution during that time. Not only that, but I STILL don't have the enhanced functionality I wanted for my system until I solve this issue.

Of course... I did NOT put any type of time limit on figuring this out, and I actually DID find free software that does a limited amount of what the software I should have bought right then and there does. This turned out worse for me instead of better. I ended up adding the time that I wasted trying to make it work properly to the time that I wasted searching for the software I was utilizing.

In fairness, I did end up with a really good and free solution to a side-issue function that I wanted to add, and I'm going to use that solution going forward, but the point is that I never found anything better than or even COMPARABLE TO what a) I figured out from my research on the net, and b) what someone who knows TOLD ME I should use.

Ultimately, you may as well say I paid myself McDonald's wages to NOT find what I needed AND to end up paying for what I already knew could have hooked me up from the giddyap.

How does this apply to my business?

Hopefully, in my tale of wasted time, you saw a parallel to something that YOU wasted time on that was key to your business. Maybe you thought you knew how to shoot, edit and compress video for the web, but you found out you were wrong. Maybe you thought you could DiY (do it yourself) when it comes to website creation, but you found out you were wrong. Maybe you thought you could create a professional-looking sign for your office….

Whatever it is, when you’re considering cutting corners, make sure you consider whether your business can afford that or not. What does it end up costing you down the line? If the answer is “nothing”, then you’re golden. In my case, I got SOME of the functionality I needed, but ultimately realized it was too much of a hassle as well as a time sink that might have led to absolutely nowhere anyway to try to get the entire functionality of the recommended software.

Another business example

A client of mine wanted me to pick up (continue working on) a project that someone else had started. The had already made a completed video and he wanted to make some changes to it. The way the project was pitched to me, it was simple enough, so it was going to be inexpensive. All I would have had to do is plug in the external drive my client supplied, which had the project files, the video & audio files and the finished video on it, open the project, make the changes and output a new video. Piece of cake.

Except….. When I opened the project file, there weren’t any video files to be found on my client’s drive. Final Cut searches for footage when you open the project and then gives you a list of files it can’t find, complete with their last known location. Every file in that list said “Macintosh HD:”, which meant that whomever my client had ?hired? (read: Probably got to do the work for free) had loaded every single second of video to their INTERNAL DRIVE instead of the external drive that I now had attached to my computer.

Obviously, whomever started the project didn’t know what they were doing AT.ALL. Notice how all of a sudden, there’s a cost to “free” stuff? Not only should they have loaded the footage to the external drive, but they STILL could have consolidated all the footage to the external before handing it off to my client, so they blew it TWICE!

So when I inform my client about what happened, his response is “Well… I have the tapes right here, so we can reload the footage”. Now, not only did his cutting corners have him walking all over creation with a drive he didn’t know was completely empty, but now the specs of the job have changed. Now I have to charge him for the time it takes to load all the necessary footage from four one-hour tapes. He’s just added (at most) 4 hours worth of my time to how much making a change is going to cost him, because he didn’t hire a professional to begin with (he said after the fact that it had been a student who did the original work for him and gave him the drive).

Insult to injury

So now, while my client’s project costs are doubling… I decide to sample a few random clips from the timeline. The information about where a video starts and stops is in the project file, but it won’t actually show you anything without an accompanying video file. You can still get a lot of information from the clips in the project, such as how they were loaded. This is important for when you want to do a reload or change the resolution of a project or send the project itself to another location so they can do a reload using the actual tapes.

So I click on some random clip, and look for the tape name (reel name). The reason you need to fill in the tape/reel name when you load tapes is that if you’re not using a format that lays down timecode that you get to specify yourself, every. single. tape. you. give. me. will have the exact same timecode on it, generally from 0 minutes to ~62 minutes. This particular project had four tapes associated with it, so I should have seen something indicating Tape 01, 02, 03 or 04.

What I saw was “001″. I clicked on another absolutely random clip and checked it… “001″. Another one… “001″. “001″ is Final Cut’s DEFAULT reel name. If you FAIL to designate reel names for your tapes, everything you load ends up with the same name. Same thing happens if you change it once and then forget to do it again while you’re loading.

What this means is that the tapes you have in your hands are absolutely useless, because when you go to reload the footage, the only tape Final Cut’s going to ask you for is “001″, which actually refers to any one of your four tapes, but FCP will be content to make your entire video out of one tape, because it can find the timecode it’s looking for from whatever tape you put in.

So now, it’s literally impossible to “make changes” to this video. The only thing that can be done is to start over from scratch, load all four tapes (4 hours), and build the video by A/Bing it against the finished video that was already on the drive. A project that “on paper” was going to take a couple of hours to complete is now looking at a couple of days, which is completely outside of the client’s budget range, so project = FAIL.

Starting to see some costs now? :D

Business costs vs. social costs

Bill Cammack & Kfir Pravda

So… “Free” isn’t always free. Actually, there are times when “free” is actually more expensive than going ahead and spending your money on something or someone that you know is more advanced than you are at whatever you’re trying to do.

Sometimes, you end up spending time learning, researching and doing trial & error that you could have used to make money doing business. Sometimes, you end up with your project going down a dead end street, where it’s going to cost you more to fix it than to start all over. Sometimes, you end up with inferior goods or services. Sometimes, you end up missing your deadlines, because people didn’t know what they’re doing when they told you they did.

Sometimes, you get up to give a presentation and nothing shows on the screen, because you thought you were going to have wifi so you didn’t bother to bring all your files with you on your computer. Sometimes, you shoot really beautiful HD video and when you compress it for the net, it looks like garbage and it’s too late to try again, so that has to be the representation of your company’s best effort and potential.

Those are all business costs. Next time, we’re going to think about what it costs you socially if people start to perceive you as someone always looking for a handout.

According to Webster’s, a misanthrope is a person who hates or distrusts humankind. Now… Just because you hate people in general, that doesn’t mean that you can’t date them, or that you shouldn’t. :D

Most likely, the reason you don’t like people isn’t because of the way they look, smell or taste… It’s probably that they say retarded things that get on your very last nerve. You’re gaining insight into their personalities or lack of education which increases the natural disdain that you had for them the first time you ever laid eyes on them.

All you need to do is follow The Kid‘s 5 tips for dating people you don’t actually like or have a shred of respect for, and you’ll be happily dating in no time! :D

1) Take your dates to the movies

In order for you to successfully date, you need to AVOID hearing what the other person has to say at all costs. The less you hear, the more you’re going to like her and the better your date will be. Invite her out to the movies. Tell her you’ll get the tickets, and to meet you right at the theater at the exact time that the movie’s scheduled to start. Oh… do this by text message or email so as to avoid any unnecessary yammering she might do which will cause you to bail out on the date. Also find out if she wants popcorn, soda, etc ahead of time, so you can stock up on those before she meets you.

When she gets there, kiss her “hello”, give her some random compliment, like about he eyes or her hair, give her her food and hurry into the theater before she can strike up a conversation. If she starts talking before you get down the hall, ask her if her popcorn has enough butter on it so she starts eating it.

You may have to suffer a bit through the commercials, but once the movie starts, you’re golden. Do the “Richie Cunningham” to get your arm around her, then relate to her for the next two hours via touch and eye contact. When she tries to actually say something, shush her, reminding her that you’re both listening to the movie… together!… then go back to touch and eye contact.

Also, make sure you informed her you’d have to skate (slang for “leave really quickly”) right after the movie, when you initially made plans with her. Credits roll. Kiss her good night. Tell her you had a great time and then break north with no delay.

2) Take your dates to loud places

I discovered this technique by accident. I was in a bar, speaking with someone and barely able to hear them. I guess the crowd got louder, because someone turned the music up, and I was no longer able to hear this person that I was right next to. My first instinct was to wait it out, figuring that I’d be able to understand them a few seconds later. That never happened. What DID happen was….. They kept talking as long as I kept looking at them and nodding! :D

This style is INVALUABLE for a misanthrope! All you have to do is take her to a place that you know plays loud music, like a dance club or a concert. It’s the best of both worlds. You can still utilize your touch and eye contact skillz that you perfected during your many movie theater dates, but you can’t hear a single word she’s saying! :D

Compound the effectiveness of this technique by imagining that she’s saying really intelligent and fascinating things that make you feel more love and respect for her by the minute.

Just as the concert’s ending or they’re turning on the lights in the club, tell her you have to skate, and break north with no delay.

3) Make sure your date is insanely physically attractive

Of course, this is your goal in ANY dating situation… but it’s extra-important for misanthropes. The better-looking she is, the more bullshit you’ll be able to tolerate.

Physically, this has something to do with chemicals released in your body when she’s around that keep you from doing stupid things, such as erasing her number or moving in the opposite direction of her present location. Mentally, it’s like Spike Lee said in “She’s Gotta Have It”:

“You don’t throw away a Rolls Royce because it has a dent in it”

On top of that (no pun intended), the better-looking she is, the more time you’ll spend having sex with her, which means the less time she’ll be talking. I mean, yeah, she’ll probably be bumbling and stammering like an idiot, but at least you’ll be able to convince yourself that the reason she can’t form proper English sentences right now is because you’re hittin’ that spot! :D

4) Make sure you use condoms

If there’s ONE THING a misanthrope hates more than dating a person they think is beneath them….. Is that a fair statement? Probably not. You can probably hate someone without thinking you’re better than they are… Weird… Anyway…..

If there’s ONE THING a misanthrope hates more than dating someone they think is beneath them… it’s accidentally having inferior kids with them. I mean, it’s one thing when someone with no connection to you AT ALL is a blithering idiot, but it’s like if her “dumb genes” happen to be dominant instead of your “smart genes”, you’re gonna be REAL SOUR for at least the next 18 years.

So, you know the drill… If you use these techniques to tolerate her long enough to have sex with her, don’t fumble on the 2-yard line! Wrap it up! No Glove, No Love!… NAH MEEN? :D

5) Learn to talk to yourself

A lot of your problem with people isn’t actually how stupid they are, but rather that you hold all your disdain in and you don’t have an outlet to share how retarded you think people are with someone who COMPLETELY understands what you’re telling them and feels the exact same way about it. This is why you need to become your own traveling commiseration companion:

You: Oh. My. *GOD*, that was the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever heard!
You: I know… she’s an idiot.
You: TELL me about it! DAMN!!!
You: Amazing, isn’t it?
You: omg! grr
You: Ah, well, what did you expect?
You: Yeah… You’re right. Forget it.

See how you calmed yourself down? Learn to do this when you feel yourself losing it, and you’ll be able to keep yourself in the game long enough to get to the good part! :D
