On the advice of Mr. James Altucher, I am writing and publishing my own, free, self-help book. This book contains advice, quotes, statements, and occasional anecdotes that I have come across and been told over the last 29 years of being a fly on the wall socially.
Some of these are, to the best of my knowledge, original. Unfortunately over the years I have lost track of which are originals and which are taken from others. Therefore, I am stating up front that very few of these quotes are original text and ideas. Those items for which I do recall the source I will acknowledge. As I am not selling this or claiming any specific part is original, I am hoping I’m not committing plagiarism.
So begins the advice . . .
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Okay, I’m pretty sure this one came from the bible, and its application is universal whether or not you’re religious. It should be the single most basic principle every person tries to live by daily. It should be taught all through school and at home. It’s very simple: before you do something, ask how it would make you feel if somebody did it to you. Some things you still have to do (breaking up with a person who is wrong for you) but this will at least get you thinking about a less hurtful way.
Eliminate the impossible. Whatever remains however unlikely must be the truth
This was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle through Sherlock Holmes. One of my all-time favorite statements and one which I far prefer to Occam’s razor. Sometimes a lie can appear much simpler than a complicated truth and you must train yourself to be aware of both.
No matter how bad it seems, it could be worse
This sounds way more pessimistic than it actually is. It’s really supposed to be a reminder that your problems are rarely as bad as they seem, and you need to keep things in perspective. By remembering that there are people much worse off than you are.
Life is 20% what happens to you, and 80% how you react
Ever notice how some people out there always walk around with a smile and seem to be in a good mood? It almost seems as if life always goes their way? Well, you aren’t far from the truth. You might not be able to control everything that happens to you, so you control how you respond. Remember, positivity attracts positivity.
Change is hard, right? WRONG!! CHANGE IS EASY, YOU SUCK!!
A brilliant gem from the writers of the Simpsons. This goes back to the last statement in a lot of ways. People fear change because they’re afraid of losing what they already have. Think about this though: all those things you’re worried about losing, how did you get them? You changed something in your life that caused you to get those things. Styled your hair differently and attracted a mate. Improved a skill and got a better job. What does this tell you? Change isn’t bad. Not changing means you’ll get stagnant, and your mind will atrophy.
Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but doesn’t get you anywhere
This is from Van Wilder. It’s a great thing to say to yourself when you start to fret over things. After saying this, ask yourself “Is there anything I can do about X”, X being that problem that was worrying you. If the answer is no, stop worrying. What will happen will happen. If the answer is yes, stop worrying and do something. Then when you’ve done that, ask yourself the question again. Keep asking until the answer is no. Then in the end you can say to yourself “I did everything I could. I will never be able to look back and say ‘if only I had . . . ‘”. Then you can start to live with no regrets, and you’ll discover that is the only life worth living!
Perspective changes perception
Have you ever noticed how two people can be looking at the exact same thing, and see two completely different things? It’s a crucial part of most therapy. Rorschach tests are some of the better known examples, and there are many optical illusions that do the same thing. Well, it doesn’t just happen there, it happens with everyday situations. Go people watching with a friend sometime. Look at the people around you and try to figure out what they’re doing, saying, or talking about. I’m willing to bet that the two of you will come up with two completely different backstories. That’s because you’re each bringing your own life stories and (here it comes) perspective to the situation!
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously
This one is courtesy of George R.R. Martin through Tyrion Lannister in Game of Thrones. Mockery by those who mean no true harm by it can be truly be one of the greatest things a friend can do for another friend. It helps keep us all in check, and keeps our egos from getting too big. I’m willing to bet that most people who others can’t stand to be around simply didn’t get the proper mocking growing up. And this leads me into the single most important piece of advice here (except the first one of course):
Get over yourself
You’re not that big of a deal, and people don’t care about what you do as much as you like to think. So get over yourself and get on with life!
How do you get over yourself? Do something twice a week that breaks your normal pattern. Wear an outfit that you definitely CAN’T pull off, and wear it proudly. Be seen in it! If you don’t want to do it in your own city, take a drive to a city an hour or two away. You’ll never see the people there again, so why care what they think about you? Visit a place you never thought you’d want to go to. Buy a round of drinks for complete strangers. Browse Groupon and Living Social for deals on things you wouldn’t think you’d do, and do them! It’s only a few dollars, and there’s always more money to be made.
Money is a means, not an end
Any person who thinks of money in and of itself as a goal will die miserably. You can’t think of money as a goal, money is merely a tool to help you achieve goals. It’s true, money doesn’t buy happiness. It’s also true you don’t need money to be happy. Money is used to help us in things that will bring us happiness though. Simple things like saving up to take a trip with friends or to make sure your family is provided for. Even something as simple as buying a round of drinks. Seeing your friends’ happiness should bring you happiness. Remember, money is a means to help you achieve your goals. It should not be your goal. So spend freely! The person who dies with the most doesn’t win.
Strive to disappoint those that expect you to fail
I don't think this needs any explanation . . .
Sometimes in order for a human being to change you have to change from the outside in
Steve Martin said this in My Blue Heaven. Change isn't easy, especially changing something to do with your habits or personality. Sometimes it's easier to change something physical about yourself. Get a different haircut, wear a different style, buy an accessory (hat for example) that becomes a trademark for you. Even something as simple as make the effort to smile, whether or not you feel like it. People will see the smile and smile back, and that will make you feel better. Therefore, a change on the outside creates a change on the inside.

It’s not one people are going to like, and it’s going to go against a lot of the pop-psychobabble everybody was raised with about how everybody is special and everybody’s a winner, but it needs to be said. Here it is:
THE WORLD KEEPS REWARDING THEM FOR LOSING!!!
It’s that simple!!
Kids are raised in environments where they’re rewarded for LOSING!! What the hell!! A trophy for last place? What the hell good ever came from getting a trophy for last place??
As far as I know, the psychobabble reasons behind this are that it will help build the kids’ self esteem or some crap like that. Maybe for some kids this actually does help them, I won’t say it doesn’t help anyone. But it seems like for the majority all it does is set them up for disappointment later on in life. It’s setting them up to believe somebody is going to give them something whether or not they’ve done anything to earn it, which I guess is how the real world works, right? Jobs are given away all the time to whoever really really thinks they should have it, right?? Money too. And houses, food, families, and all that stuff.
Wait, that isn’t how it works. So why are we raising kids to think that’s how it works again? Hmmm
I’m not telling you to tell your kids they’re dumb, pathetic, stupid morons. I’m saying to make sure your kids know that life won’t be handed to them on a silver platter. They’re going to have to earn it. Yes, they can absolutely do and achieve anything they want. But it won’t be given to them. If somebody wants to fly a space shuttle, they can! But they need to earn it. They need to have the best grades, the best training, and be in great physical shape to endure the stress. They need to compete for the position. They need to understand that competition is real. And competition is good!
Competition is a great thing. It keeps the world from becoming complacent and bored. Which, as you can see if you look around life, is what we’ve become! Look around almost anywhere and you know what you will see? A lot of bored people. They’re bored because they don’t comprehend the value of winning in what they do. The stuff that used to be taught early in life when a person is most able to learn it and change their habits isn’t being taught until they’re done with school and are trying to succeed in the real world. This is the first glimpse they get of life as it is.
The moral of all this? Stop letting the next generation grow up believing that failure is ok. Let them know they can succeed, but only if THEY make it happen. Nobody else will.
Unless they're rich that is.
Anyway, that's what I believe. Or this is the late night ramblings of a loser asshole. Call it what you will.

Tips to survive holiday Travel
Originally Posted Tuesday, November 20, 2007
Hello my children, the Reverend is back for another Sermon, this one relating to the upcoming Holiday Season very much. This is a partial rant on stupidity, and a partial Travel Tips guide from the Rev himself.
For those of you who don't know, the Reverend travels quite often, particularly lately. In fact, since 9/11, the Rev has taken over 50 trips, and in that time has learned a few tips for dealing with airport security. But first: the rant:
How dumb are some of these people at the airport?? Do you seriously not realize that you need to take your jacket off when going through the metal detector?? And why would you bother arguing with the TSA people on this one!?!?!!?? Not only will it not get you anywhere, you'll serve to only piss off these people, and the people behind you!! No sympathy will be gotten from any direction!!
Now that the Rev's Rant is over with, here is the greatest tip list you'll ever need to get through airport security quickly and with minimum hassle.
1) Liquids
-According to current TSA guidelines and regulations, you are allowed to bring liquids on a plane, if they are 3 oz's or less, and all bottles are in a clear plastic container, and Lindsey Lohan is not in rehab (not sure about the 2nd one). You must pull out your bag of liquids and show them to the TSA representative. This step is referred to as a "time waster". My response is much simpler: How the hell many liquid products are you going to need on this plane ride??? Seriously!!
Conclusion: Pack your damn liquids in your checked in bag. Jackass.
2) Arriving at the airport early
-Some people you talk to will tell you to arrive at the airport at least 2-3 hours before your departure time. I like to refer to these people as "dipshits who obey whatever CNN commands them to do yet don't know shit about shit". I have never arrived at the airport (by at the airport, I mean at the counter checking in my bags) more than an hour before any flight i'm supposed to take. I've missed one flight in my entire life. There is no reason to arrive at the airport that early, unless you enjoy sitting around twiddling your thumbs endlessly for hours. I personally have better things to do.
Conclusion: There's no need to be at the airport more than an hour or so before your flight departs. None. At all. No, not that reason either. No, you're an idiot.
3) Don't be cheap. Use the skycaps. And tip them well.
-I think that speaks for itself. Oh wait, you're probably dumb. The skycaps are the people outside the airport who grab your bags from the car. Most airlines have them. Some airlines have started charging a $2/bag fee for using skycaps. This fee is completely worth it, every penny. Especially if you only have one bag to check in. They'll take care of checking your bags, and printing up your boarding passes. Tip them well for this. Remember, you're paying for the convenience of not waiting in line inside. I usually give them $5 and tell them to keep the change (for those of you that are bad at math, that's a $3 tip).
4) Going through security checkpoints
-People get so daunted by security checkpoints it makes me actually laugh. Going through security is simple if you just follow my simple rules. They are listed below:
-With the exception of your ID and boarding pass, move everything from your pocket into your carry-on or purse. Trust me. Nobody find it amusing watching you refill your pockets while blocking everybody else
-Wear shoes you can easily slide on and off. Assume you will have to remove your shoes, and in fact, prepare to do so while waiting in line by untying your shoes while standing there. It saves time, trust me. Best time saver, of course, is to wear shoes without laces. Also, if you're wearing a belt with a metal buckle, take that off while waiting in line. You'll have to take it off anyway, may as well save time (mine mostly because then i'm not stuck behind you while TSA explains why you need to take it off).
-If you travel with a laptop in your carry on (guilty), you will be required to take it out before your bag goes through the X-ray. Save time by taking it out while waiting in line (are we noticing a pattern here yet?).
If you follow my tips, once you get to the table before the X-ray is very easy. You grab a tray, place your laptop in it, place your shoes on top of the laptop, place your belt on top of the shoes, possibly get another tray if you have a jacket, and walk through the metal detector (but keep your boarding pass in hand. You'll need it.). If everybody followed these tips, there would be no security delays in airports.
Conclusion: Do as much as you can to save time while waiting in line. You're not doing anything else anyway!
5) After security
-After you've gone through the security checkpoint, most people stop at the receiving area to put everything back on and in. Don't do this. Go out to the benches and chairs that are nearby (yes, there are some there. Look for them.). Go do it over there. Stay out of everybody else's way while cleaning up people. In fact, stay out of everybody else's way in general. Please. Especially mine.
I certainly hope these tips will make your holiday travels much easier. If you follow them, you've done your part to make everybody's life significantly easier. Remember, with these tips, pass them along to as many people as you can!!

Think the country is becoming too dumb? I have a solution!!!

As I'm sure most of you have noticed, the United States on average is becoming dumber and dumber every year. Yes, you're not the only one who's noticed. The reason you're not the only one is because it is really happening! But never fear my children, as always, the Rev has the answer: Forced sterilization of morons!!
Since we can't just go around randomly killing people for being complete asshats, we can do the next best thing: make sure they don't reproduce. You all know the people i'm talking about too, you see them on TV everyday, in real life, and around the office. Those peole that you look at, and say, "Dear God, I hope he never has kids" or "I feel so sorry for her children!!". The big problem is that these are the people who are most likely to reproduce. If you doubt me, watch the movie "Idiocracy" by Mike Judge, and tell me that you don't see that happen every day.
The movie starts out with a cross section of two american families. One of them is a couple, recently married, husband has an IQ of 148 and the wife has an IQ of 152. Then it flashed to Cletus, IQ of 81. Cletus lives in a trailer park. As of the time of the cross section, he already has 3 children. During the interview, his wife runs out of the house with a positive pregnancy test, while simultaneously the neighbor comes out and announces that she is also pregnant with Cletus' child. We also find out his daughter is pregnant. Now, fast forward 5 years. Cletus currently has 8 children and at least 5 grand children. The intelligent couple thought about having a child, but decided the market wasn't right and it'd be a shame to bring a child into the world at this time. This pattern continues til eventually, the husband dies, and Cletus has 12 children, 20 grandchildren, and a few great grandchildren, and all of them are idiots. Tell me you can't see something like that happening in real life. I dare ya!!
Don't believe me? Sure you do. You just don't want to admit it!! These are the same people who are trying to support a family of 5 on a minimum wage salary, or think it's a brilliant idea to spend more money on rims than they did on the car they're going on, and then wonder why they're constantly broke!! These are the same people who spout out that "things need to be better" without actually giving any solutions for how to accomplish this. Women who get everything based on their looks, but get confused when someone asks them what their address is!!
Now, the question everybody is wondering, is how do we determine who gets to reproduce? Fear not, the Rev has thought about this!! It's so simple, I don't know why no one's ever thought of it before!!! I will decide who gets to reproduce!!! As a man of God, I have divine authority to determine this!!
Don't like that idea? Well, you're off the list of those allowed. Fine, here's another solution: we come up with a set of factors including IQ, a fairly empirical personality profile, violent crime tendencies, severe mental disorders, and finally a psychological evaluation. A panel of expert psychologists then determines whether a person is qualified to reproduce. These tests are to be administered as soon as a person turns 18.
"But Rev, kids can still reproduce when they're in High School and even Junior High! How do we stop the dumbass jock from breeding with airhead cheerleaders??" It's simple. Once a girl reaches age 12, she is immediately put on birth control. Not a pill based birth control, one which is out of the control of the person, thereby leaving nothing to chance.
My plan, if followed correctly, will put an end to several problems beyond simply the problem of idiots being allowed to breed. It will also solve the problem of teen pregnancy, which is always a major concern, it will help solve the overpopulation problem, and finally it will help to put an end to the major problem of girl's faking a pregnancy in order to force a guy to marry her (hopefully these psychos will be caught by a screener). All in all, I believe this is a fairly solid plan.
SO, my congregation, let's all say a prayer that our gov't will realize the error of allowing people who should not have children to reproduce, and step in to stop this from happening any further. Let us pray my children. Thank you
**NOTE: If not enough of the intelligent girls are hot, some dumb hot ones may be exempted from the rule to keep the overall population from getting ugly as necessary**
**NOTE 2: This sermon was not directed at a particular person, just a particular group of people. Idiots. If you think you belong in that group, there's a strong chance you do. If you think you don't belong in the group, there's a stronger chance you do.**
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Well, notice that I said "Severe" mental disorders; specifically ones where a person is either a: a threat to themselves and/or others, or B: their illess is so severe that they need constant surveillance. I include these because mental illness tends to be passed down genetically. I'm not saying if someone has ADD or Dyslexia they're sterilized. Sorry for the mix up!!

I like it.. now how do we get it on the ballots?
Posted by ~*iceystars*~ on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 2:31 PM
Humorous as always, but I'm not sure that I would be willing to trade away a freedom in exchange for a reduction in the number of idiots. Very tempting, mind you, but I don't think I want the government (itself reeking of idiots) to be in charge of something like this...
Posted by the RBEEC on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 4:48 PM
I actually support this idea. Although there are some loopholes, I think it would greatly clear up some of the unneccessary overpopulation of the country. We too many idiots alive now to allow them to continue breeding unchecked.

The only disadvantages to this plan is that nobody with a brain will want to live under reproductive fascism, leading to a massive brain-drain, and the ultimate collapse of the national IQ. Another problem is a loss of service sector workers, leading to the collapse of food, trash, and sanitation. But other than that it sounds like a winner.

Tell me you can't see something like that happening in real life. I dare ya!!
Don't believe me? Sure you do. You just don't want to admit it!! These are the same people who are trying to support a family of 5 on a minimum wage salary, or think it's a brilliant idea to spend more money on rims than they did on the car they're going on, and then wonder why they're constantly broke!! These are the same people who spout out that "things need to be better" without actually giving any solutions for how to accomplish this. Women who get everything based on their looks, but get confused when someone asks them what their address is!!
Now, the question everybody is wondering, is how do we determine who gets to reproduce? Fear not, the Rev has thought about this!! It's so simple, I don't know why no one's ever thought of it before!!! I will decide who gets to reproduce!!! As a man of God, I have divine authority to determine this!!
Don't like that idea? Well, you're off the list of those allowed. Fine, here's another solution: we come up with a set of factors including IQ, a fairly empirical personality profile, violent crime tendencies, severe mental disorders, and finally a psychological evaluation. A panel of expert psychologists then determines whether a person is qualified to reproduce. These tests are to be administered as soon as a person turns 18.
"But Rev, kids can still reproduce when they're in High School and even Junior High! How do we stop the dumbass jock from breeding with airhead cheerleaders??" It's simple. Once a girl reaches age 12, she is immediately put on birth control. Not a pill based birth control, one which is out of the control of the person, thereby leaving nothing to chance.
My plan, if followed correctly, will put an end to several problems beyond simply the problem of idiots being allowed to breed. It will also solve the problem of teen pregnancy, which is always a major concern, it will help solve the overpopulation problem, and finally it will help to put an end to the major problem of girl's faking a pregnancy in order to force a guy to marry her (hopefully these psychos will be caught by a screener). All in all, I believe this is a fairly solid plan.
SO, my congregation, let's all say a prayer that our gov't will realize the error of allowing people who should not have children to reproduce, and step in to stop this from happening any further. Let us pray my children. Thank you
**NOTE: If not enough of the intelligent girls are hot, some dumb hot ones may be exempted from the rule to keep the overall population from getting ugly as necessary**
**NOTE 2: This sermon was not directed at a particular person, just a particular group of people. Idiots. If you think you belong in that group, there's a strong chance you do. If you think you don't belong in the group, there's a stronger chance you do.**
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti. Amen.

Well, notice that I said "Severe" mental disorders; specifically ones where a person is either a: a threat to themselves and/or others, or B: their illess is so severe that they need constant surveillance. I include these because mental illness tends to be passed down genetically. I'm not saying if someone has ADD or Dyslexia they're sterilized. Sorry for the mix up!!

Humorous as always, but I'm not sure that I would be willing to trade away a freedom in exchange for a reduction in the number of idiots. Very tempting, mind you, but I don't think I want the government (itself reeking of idiots) to be in charge of something like this...
Posted by the RBEEC on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 - 4:48 PM
I actually support this idea. Although there are some loopholes, I think it would greatly clear up some of the unneccessary overpopulation of the country. We too many idiots alive now to allow them to continue breeding unchecked.

The only disadvantages to this plan is that nobody with a brain will want to live under reproductive fascism, leading to a massive brain-drain, and the ultimate collapse of the national IQ. Another problem is a loss of service sector workers, leading to the collapse of food, trash, and sanitation. But other than that it sounds like a winner.

Hello, my name is Jim. I saw the article on Ebay. I'm very interested in your kit, it seems like exactly what i'm looking for (pending, of course, a successful trial). Unfortunately, I won't have the amount you're looking for until next week on payday (next Friday). I don't suppose you'd be willing to go as low as $350? or perhaps work out some kind of deposit? Thanks, let me know
Jim
Jim, I'd like to show you something. It's called a Glock 17 and it takes 9mm cartridges. Show up with $350 and not only will I sell you the "article," but I will also include a free personalized demo of this fine piece. If you give me your social security number, address, telephone number, full name, birthdate, and where your children go to school (probably don't have any since you can't find someone to reproduce with), I will be glad to even deliver this article with some of my friends: The Big One, Jimbo, and Lil' Ty (short for Tyrone Jones). I can't wait to hear back from you.
Love,
Alex

The Rev's Christmas Blog
Originally posted Monday, December 25, 2006
Well my children, Christmas has come. The time of year that everyone unselfishly spends their money on friends, family, classmates, and anonymous co-workers (for those offices that do the secret santa thing) in the hopes that the person will spend roughly the same amount of money on something that you want. The time of year for long lines, annoying traffic within 5 miles of any mall, and shoving others aside for that last present. Oh yeah, and some dude was born a few millenia ago. What? the guys name was Jesus Christ? Hey, that's the same as the first few letters of Christmas!! What a coincidence!!! It's not a coincidence? The holiday is named after him?? the hell you say!!
Yes, believe it or not, the purpose for this holiday being named Christmas is, in fact, because this is the day which we celebrate as the birth of Christ! I know, it's hard to believe isn't it? but it's true! Unfortunately, most of the world has forgotten this little fact. And yes, I am aware that we do not know whether or not this is the actual birthdate of Christ, hence the reason I worded it as "celebrate". Does anyone besides the Rev feel as though this isn't Christmas time yet though? In many ways, it just feels like it's any other time of the year. Maybe it's because the Rev is starting to get older, and some of the joy of the holiday will be lost until the Rev starts buying presents for his own children. In about a decade or so.
Maybe it's because of the weather. The Rev, as many of you know, lives in Orlando, FL, a place where it is generally warm most of the year, with this year being a particularly warm winter. In fact, as of Saturday, the Rev was able to comfortably wear shorts outside, and still be somewhat warm. But the Rev is up in Maryland right now with his family, and he notices it's also very warm up here! Normally around this time of the year, it's around the 30's, and the rev has to bundle up in a winter scarf, hat, gloves, and heavy jacket just to survive. Tonight, however, the Rev was able to wander outside for a matter of minutes without so much as a jacket and not be too cold. Something just feels wrong this year. Anybody else feel that way? It feels like the spirit's just missing from this holiday. Maybe i'm just crazy though. Who knows. Either way, it's time for the Rev to go to bed. To all of his loyal readers, the Rev wishes you a Merry Christmas. Those of you who aren't loyal readers, the Rev wishes you'd start becoming loyal readers. He really does.
I know this hasn't been one of the Rev's usual pissed off about something rants that you all know and love, but the Rev just hasn't been pissed off enough about anything in recent weeks. If anyone has any ideas, please send them to the Rev at Jim.TheReverend@gmail.com, or post them as comments to this Sermon. Perhaps the Rev will feel like giving a more appropriate Christmas Sermon later today. And please people, don't forget to buy official Reverend Jim merchandise today at Reverendwear!!! Merry Christmas everybody!!

You want us to stop watching porn? Fine. You all stop watching romantic movies!
Originally Posted Friday, November 03, 2006
Good day my children. I know many of you are excited to see the Reverend posting on a regular schedule again! I know I'm excited to be posting!!
Todays topic is, yet again, a social one. It deals with a problem that plagues a number of relationships, and just as bad, a number of individual people. It's a classic debate amongst couples, as old as the industry itself.
When a man reaches a certain age, he starts to amass a collection of magazines, movies, and in this day and age, files on his computer. Though we can all figure out what these items are, i'll spell it out. I'm talking about pornography.
There's nothing wrong with porn whatsoever, just for the record. Everybody's watched it at some point, or looked at pictures, or something similar. It's perfectly OK. Unfortunately, not everybody shares the Reverend's view on this matter. Many people out there, particularly women, consider porn a very bad thing. One of the major reasons women claim it is bad is that they claim it gives men an inaccurate view of how women should behave. Women claim that porn is degrading to women, and that it gives women impossible standards to live up to. To these accusations, I say alright, we'll compromise. I'll give up my porn, when you give up your romantic movies!
When you really think about it, for the most part, these are the same things only marketed to different genders. Porn allows men to watch fantasies about involving (usually at least) women acting in ways most women don't act in real life, except on special occasions of course. Romantic movies, on the other hand, let women watch fantasies about how they'd like men to act in real life. The major difference between the two, is how the watcher applies what they see to real life situations.
When watching a porn, a man knows that deep down, most of the things that happen will never happen in real life. I mean, how likely is it that a hot housewife, wearing a silk bathrobe will call a plumber, and the plumber happens to be a gorgeous female, and the two of them randomly have sex in the kitchen, while simultaneously a beautiful cable repairwoman walks in to the wrong house by accident, sees them going at it, and joins in? I would say almost never. Men, though we still hold out hope, know this never really happens. With a romantic movie, women don't seem to realize that men in the real world don't behave like the men in those movies do, and they expect us to behave that way. Women walk away from a romantic movie thinking the exact same thing men do when they finish up a porn: "why can't my significant other act like that?"
Part of the source of this problem is the same as the source of most other problems with young people today: parental guidance, or lack thereof. An increasing number of families these days are single parent families, and more often than not the single parent is a mother. This means that a child usually has no male role model to teach them the realities of how men behave. While this is still a problem for young boys, it's an even bigger problem for young girls, as they naturally start watching the same movies as their mothers, which are usually romantic movies, and they start believing that that's how all men should behave. This is, sadly, not reality. Women have yet to realize this. And therein lies the interesting conclusion to come to: Men actually react to porn better than women react to romantic movies, because men only hope women act that way, whereas women expect men to act that way, and feel that they have the right to be upset and withhold sex when we don't!
To that notion, I propose these two solutions: the first option is, "If you want us to act like men in romantic movies, then you'd better act like women in Porno's," and the second one is, "We'll get rid of our porn, when you get rid of your romantic movies." Then, balance will be achieved.

Don't forget another major part of the problem . . . no, its not that modern couples don't talk to eachother about anything (even though that's true). And no, its not because couples just assume that they know how the other will act without regularly discussing expectations. Not at all.
Its because its no longer legal to stone women for looking at other men here in the states. I think we are behind the rest of the world when it comes to punishing our women for looking at other men (and this includes on DVD!!).
So, until we fix those laws, we are stuck being held up to Tom Hanks in Sleepless in You've Got Mail or whatever its called.

Here's the problem - sick lonely men start our watching porn and then after a while that doesn't do it for them anymore...so they move onto child porn...then move onto "preying" on children. Uh-hum...see previous sermon. Serisoulsy - nothing good comes from pornography. Not saying that is what happens with all men, just saying that is where it starts with those sick perverts mentioned in your previous sermon.
Posted by Laurel on Friday, November 03, 2006 - 5:48 PM
I'd disagree with the fact that all women expect men to act the way men do in romantic movies. If that were the case the phrase "nice guys finish last" wouldn't be so painfully true. In fact, I'd venture to bet that the guys who are naturally more chivalric tend to have a harder time finding a significant other and therefore are driven towards pornography moreso than the guys who do act otherwise.
