The Power of the B.H.C. (Back Handed Compliment)

>> Monday, June 14, 2010

STARVING HER SELF...AND GIVIN' IT UP!!!

Gentlemen, another all so powerful tactic to add to your arsenal is the Back Handed Compliment.

Hit them with this, when they are not looking, when they least suspect it and you will be thrilled with the results. When you give women a traditional compliment, that boosts their self-esteem and gets them feeling good about themselves. Normally that's a good thing. If it's your wife, or you daughter compliment away (Ok, not too much. We don't want the wife getting too frisky either).

But if you are dating, use the BHC. This keeps them guessing, keeps them on their toes. It keeps women wondering things like:

Does he find me attractive?
What did he mean by that comment?
Do other people feel that way?
Will he ask me out again?

Those are the thoughts you want running around in her head; this is the point where she will began to do whatever she needs to do in order to feel desireable. You have her right where you want her, working to gain your approval.

The key to the back-handed compliment is to deliver it in such a way that it is not obvious of your intentions.

Here are three good examples:

TRADITIONAL #1: Wow your hair looks wonderful

BHC: Wow, your hair....that's different

TRADITIONAL #2: You are an extremely cool chick

BHC: It's refreshing to hang out with someone with a great personaility for once. I'm tired of these young chicks who are all looks, with no substance

TRADITIONAL #3: You look really nice this evening.

BHC: That outfit really has a slimming effect. Nice.

Men you are now armed with a little more knowledge to help you help yourself.

Please comment with any more BHC's you know or use. The more the merrier.

It's a war out there and we need to Take Back Our Balls.

Are Women Really Dream Killers??

>> Tuesday, May 25, 2010

Tom Lykis always said,

“Before you get married; make sure you have become all you can be. Women are dream killers!
When a women wants you to do something it's telling you that her dream comes first and that she doesn't care about your dream. They often secretly wish that you never reach your dreams so you can never trade up.”

I would have to agree with that, but….and an important but, they are only because we let them.
The woman’s angle is that, by keeping you at your status quo, she is the best you can get. There is no risk of you trading up, because she is as good as you can get. So the simple win-win scenario is keep the pressure on. Be all you can be – and force them to be all they can be….OR ELSE!!!

KIDS!!
One of the quickest ways to kill a man’s dreams is by getting pregnant. Watch this like a hawk. You have children when you are good and ready to have children and the only way to do that is by wearing a condom! Period. 100% of the Time!! “…but I want to feel you inside me Daddy”
Bull Crap!! Gentlemen, having a baby is like having an exotic car payment that fluctuates for 18 years. 216 monthly payments! Sit down and ask yourself, if I brought a Lamborghini right now and had to drive it for 18 years, could I still accomplish my dreams. And Trust me, that’s simplifying things. Changing oil’s got nothing on a dirty, sweet peas and carrots stanky diaper!!

SPEND MORE TIME & MONEY ON ME!
If you hear this because you are working towards your dreams and saving – forget it. If you satisfy this craving there will be something else. Trust me. Women are born to nag and men are born to give in. Just remember, when you are giving in, you are letting them kill your dreams.

If she wants to go on vacation, she will nag and nag until you are out of 5G’’s. Once this works the cycle will start again. Just like a crying baby; so don’t give in. Trust me, they will never be satisfied.

You’ve all heard the famous joke before:

A young woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads: Floor 1 - These men have jobs. The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?" So up she goes.
The second floor sign reads: Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids. The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's further up?" And up she goes again.

The third floor sign reads: Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good looking. "Hmmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"

The fourth floor sign reads: Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up another flight.

The fifth floor sign reads: Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking, help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to the sixth floor she goes.

The sixth floor sign reads: Floor 6 - You are visitor 7,548,652 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor only exists as proof that women are impossible to please.

WE ARE REALLY AT FAULT
We are the culprits, they are just our accomplices. If you are really focused about something, then you won’t let anything stop you. We might blame it on our girlfriends or wives but in reality, we were just looking for an excuse to give up and they were there to blame. Then 5 years later, we’re pissed off at them for ruining our dreams.

You have been warned – so let’s take responsibility, take some action and Take Our Ball Back!!!

Man on Movies: Iron Man 2

>> Monday, May 17, 2010

For the man’s man, there is no better example of someone living the dream other than Tony Stark – aka Iron Man. Here’s a guy who has got it all: money, power, fame, women, and enough tech toys that would make James Bond jealous. Oh, yeah - and he can fly.

Although fictional, Tony Stark is the man men strive to be. Although being born into a family of privilege, he wasn’t satisfied just living a prosperous life. He leveraged all that he was given and built an empire. And as we all witnessed in the first Iron Man that was released in 2008, when he was faced with impossible circumstances, he didn't give up, he invented a new power source to keep him alive, invented the iron man suit, killed all the terrorists, and then he rested.

In the world of superheroes, Iron Man is in a league of his own. For example, look at Spiderman and Superman. Peter Parker was an insecure little boy with no ambition, and by freak accident was bitten by a spider that gave him his spider-abilities. Superman didn’t have to work hard to become super, he was just born that way. In fact, he spends most of his life trying to suppress the super man that he knows himself to be in order to be the boring Clark Kent. Tony Stark didn’t stumble into greatness like Peter Parker. He wasn’t born a super man. He made himself great. He made himself powerful. To top it off, he didn’t care if everybody knew it! He realized his own greatness, and he was going to be damned if anybody tried to take it from him. In a scene from Iron Man 2, Tony Stark is sitting in front of Congress when he makes the bold statement: “I am Iron Man. The suit and I are one.” I want to be Tony Stark, and every man reading this blog should want to be as well.

Iron Man 2 is a solid sequel, which starts up immediately where the first movie ends and makes a logical and satisfying progression through the storyline. We see Tony Stark’s fame, and classic narcissism, rocket to meteoric heights. He gets grilled by Congress. He kicks some bad guy ass. The action sequences are so realistic, it makes Transformers seem like Toy Story. There’s not much more to ask for in a superhero movie.

Tony Stark will be Robert Downey Jr's most popular role in his career. But like any other great movie, Downey is joined on screen with some top talent as well. Don Cheadle, Mickey Rourke, and Samuel L. Jackson all make solid performances. And I would be remiss to not mention the ever lovely Gwyneth Paltrow, reprising her role as Pepper Pots, and the luscious Scarlett Johansson. Mmmmm…Scarlett Johansson.
It may be difficult for people to truly identify with the Tony Stark character, because he does not exhibit the same insecurities that a lot of people experience in life. But that is because Tony Stark is not your everyman.

He is the man. He is Iron Man.
