ParticipantStill, I do not feel like a man. I don’t know if I ever will. Im pretty sure my wife doesn’t think Im a “real man” like her Dad. You can be strong, a decent enough lover, a steady earner, a good parent, and so forth, but I’m still not just a man, not the way her dad, or my dad was. Of course, a real man probably couldn’t stay married to her for a month. There are just so many different expectations nowadays that the type of person I and she think of as a real man probably wouldn’t make it with a modern woman in a longterm relationship. I’m not sure what I mean by this exactly, but I am definitely not confident that I am a man, in spite of my reproductive and career successes.
real men are in my mind not as malleable and adaptable…less emotional. im kind of joking…but maybe im not…
how can i be a real man when frankly i have no idea what that would be.
you see girls walking around with those THE FUTURE IS FEMALE shirts.
they might be rightParticipantwhat happened?
when did it turn?
seems ez to say soyboys wouldnt fight. but is it manly to fight in ridiculous wars? e en the purported soyboys would probably fight in an existential war. but do those even exist anymore, at least where boots on the ground are needed.
still i wonder would i feel like a man had i been in the military.
would i feel like a man if i wasnt so damn educated. do these liberal arts schools suck the manhood out of you?
cant just be me or superpopular sotes like theartofmanliness wouldnt exidt
Participantmanhood.
what is it?
seems like its been troubling men here since at least the 70s.
its a shifting thing, what makes a Man. changing over tome.
war seemed so clearly stupid in the 70s. why were we in vietnam. why would any sane person sign up to die for no reason.
trump had it right there.
iron john by robert bly.
i dont know anymore.
i know ive never felt like a man, just a teen pretending to be a man.
Participanta really amazing high: deep breathing and sun salutations in yoga class.
wow. powerful rush. heads all buzzing.
yet probably seen as a soyboy feminine type activity.
i liked this podcsdt on why men refuse to do yoga
https://slate.com/human-interest/2019/06/man-up-podcast-terrell-starr-why-men-resist-yoga.html
When Terrell Starr started doing yoga in his 30s, it opened up his mind to new possibilities of what his body could do—not to mention what he could do as a man. He realized he’d been restricting himself not only physically but mentally because of what he’d learned growing up. This week on Man Up, he talks with Aymann about yoga, therapy, and breaking free of social limits.
but for those who love jesus, beware of deep breathing, weird m9vement and emptying the mind. christians maybe should avoid yoga…

Participantcan things change?
yeah. my parents said weed would never be legal in my lifetime vack during a college days discussion.
now my moms doc is recommending it for pain. society will change when it becomes ridiculous not to …
my memory was all wrong tho. weed has to be the most boring substance ever.
lately i prefer the michelada. low alcohol, good for the prostate, soyfree. true, its provably a nafta inspired conspiracy to get americans to buy more tecate, but jeez, its delicious.
Participant[quote=temeculaguy]You’ve never been so wrong and it hurts to read your misguided musings. To help you understand, Bernie liked him, look up the story of Bernie Sanders’ sword which was a gift from Ross. I fondly remember my Perot bumper sticker and I remember reading the book “on the wings of eagles.” You want someone to care about the worker and the working class, you won’t find better.
In other news, Millennials are moving to the suburbs.
Nobody is biking to work, nobody uses mass transit and every year fewer do. We waste 70% of transit funds on mass transit for 3.5% of the population that use it. Soy Boys are becoming the bain of our society and the democrats will lose on policy to probably the most offensive president ever because they didn’t learn anything from 2016. Pelosi is doing the right thing to try and silence the progressives because they are a liability. Oh and the deportations of the provisional voters starts Sunday!
Have I hurt your feelings enough, good, you deserved it this time.
I don’t hate Brian but he made me say those things because of his revisionist history about a great American patriot. You do not know Ross, so shut up and sit the hell down. If you or I were 10% of the man that Ross was I would be proud, I will leave this planet without accomplishing a fraction of what he did for others, as will you. That is the reason for the diatribe and the rant, because you have no respect for people who are better than you and you should. Now burn your Che Guevera T shirt and go get a Perot T shirt.[/quote]
soy boy?
ugh. right wing radio offensive language.
people function in the system we have. would way more people ride bikes if it were perceived as safer? yeah.
would they prefer not to commute an hour a day each way? yeah.
but its a car, military, commute, oil, obese culture.
the choices are limited by the structure in place
as for economic austerity would individuals be way better off if they didnt drive a car for a few years? yeah
mrmoneymustache for president!
Participant[quote=gzz]I didn’t like the Uber Jump electric bike even though i like the e scooters.
It is heavy to lift up curbs and doesn’t feel as natural as a regular bike.[/quote]
the Bosch mid drive system feels 100 % natural.
Participantwas riding this a.m. w the wife and we were thinking set up an ebike wine country tour biz. theres competirion but we could do something more personalized and familyish. accomodate kids…
Participanti have been carfree for a couple months now …. temeculas actually has some nice side routes, paths, dirt roads here and there.
google maps suggestions for bikes do not work. there s fencing in some spots.
ebiking could change retirement budget. frees up about 700/month.
Participantno helmets, yet less accidents than usa.
Participantits always been difficult to discern anything approaching the truth.
somewhat related, my mom had some old newspaper clipping from the 60s. on the back was some headline about “what will the fed reserve do, it matters so much this werk” that sounded the same as today.
its been all bullshit all the time. since 1776.
Participantmy payoff is preelection, actually in 3 months. not sure if i qualify…
Participantam i included?
are drinks free too?
Participanti dont think i can win this one.
if i got a loan for say 50k, the interest accrues on the 50k while in school at 7 percent. so im already in the hole for maybe 15k at graduation on the first 50k. so basically im spending 15k for a shot at a 50k free ride, minus whatever after tax return i get on the 50k lying around. so I need about 3-1 odds on it to break even.
I just cannot believe there’s a real chance this passes in any way that would actually benefit me.
id say odds are worse than 3 to 1 ill get debt forgiveness, more like 20-1, so looks like a pass.
if i could get the subsidized loan w zero interest then id do it.
I still have a very very small loan balance after taking out my first law school loan 27 years ago. my loans are so old I could’ve declared bankruptcy on them back in the old days…
we did pay off my wife’s balance with a big check 5 years ago or so. but who could’ve really predicted this?
its such obviously palpable bullshit, but then again, pretty much everything is bullshit nowadays. so, whatever.
id prefer ubi
