Good Women Are Hard to Come By
*disclaimer: the following is my own opinion based upon personal experiences and does not make me a sexist or feminist hater in any shape or fashion
There’s a reason why most of my close friends throughout my life have been male and why I prefer to be in their company instead of women. Before you misconstrue, let me shine a light on my partiality.
Women are overly emotional and irrational beings. Yes, I am one too but ONE is enough. Put two or more together and you’ll have a potential explosive with the force of Hurricane Ike. Men tend to keep their emotions in check, although I’ve known some who are worse than a woman on her period having a bad day.
In my experience, men are more loyal and honest as friends. A female friend will smile to your face and tell you how much she loves your shoes and feels no shame when she berates you to others within the same day. In other words, women are two-faced liars.
Men are more fun to be around. A lot of women are overly concerned with what others think of them (especially OTHER women), materialistic endeavors and gossip. Men just seem to put less emphasis on vanity and more on actions and substantial goals. Plus, they’re not afraid to go on adventures and get dirty!
Women are manipulative bitches. I used to be one a long time ago when I was younger and hotter because I realized how powerful the female sex is. Read about it in “The Social Animal” by Elliot Aronson. Even though I’m no longer one, nothing gets my temperature rising than a woman who’s manipulating someone I care about or even worse, me! I know the games women play and I won’t let them win. Men just tell you what they want and don’t want. It’s as simple as that.
All that being said, I have to give credit where deserved and say that I’ve had a few best female friends in my life. These women were far apart from the typical female rat race and were more “real”. They cared about deeper issues and values, lived in an honest fashion and remained true to themselves and others. These women were selfless and humble friends who gave their best to society and those they loved. They’re wonderful mothers, faithful lovers and forgiving friends. Women like these are hard to come by in today’s society.
We're F**KED.
What you could do with $700,000,000,000
- Give every person in the US $2,300 or give every household $6,200.
- Pay the income taxes of every American who makes $500,000 or less a year.
- Fully fund the Defense, Treasure, Education, State Veterans Affairs and Interior departments next year, as well as NASA.
- Buy gasoline for every car in the US for 16 months.
- Buy every NFL, NBA, and MLB team and build each one a new stadium - and pay your players $191 million a piece for a year
- Create the 17th largest economy in the world - roughly equal to that of the Netherlands.
- Or you could pay off just 7% of the $9.8 trillion national debt. (via Time)
OR you could nationalize some mortgage related debt (aka “impaired assets”) that banks, credit unions, and pension funds hold. Using our tax dollars, of course.
