Make no mistake, Dondald Trump runs the male population of this country

[Dan Druff]

Masculinity is mostly just acting in a traditionally male fashion.

You can have a dude who is muscular, hunts, rides motorcycles, and can kick ass at nearly any sport he plays, but if he speaks with a lisp and has effeminate affectations, people are going to see him as far less masculine than a typically-male-acting 120-pound computer nerd who can't do any of these things.

That's where Walz ran into issues. He came off as spastic and effeminate, plus had a habit of telling pointless lies. At that point, it didn't matter if they tried to frame him as a football coach or a guy who works on his car on the weekends.

When I used to look at the personal ads in the newspaper, I would see in the gay section that many dudes were requesting partners who were "straight acting". That was code for masculine, in the sense that the guy would be indiscernible to the public from a straight man.

The term soyboy is typically associated with the left because these guys often have (or deliberately take on) feminine mannerisms or styles, almost as some weird rejection of traditional masculinity. Right wing guys don't tend to do this.

Yeah, I guess. Masculine is probably the wrong word. A fucking functioning adult is a better definition. I judge people by how they deal with adversity, or the degree to which they sacrifice their time and energy to their loved ones, so there are certainly a whole lot of women who are far superior to myself in that regard. It’s easy to act tough when shit is going great. Adversity is the litmus test.

Like that a bunch of nerdy young dudes are drawn to a Tate or that Rogansphere or even Trump isn’t some positive thing. Trump cries like a little bitch victim at made up shit. I can’t imagine how he’d deal with real adversity.

There are just a lot of pathetic incel dudes drawn to some ideal of masculinity espoused by total bitches who would fold in a second if they ever had to deal with anything tough.

Donald Trump was ~$1 Billion underwater when $1 Billion was a ton of money, 1993. He clawed his way back 10 fold. You can say what you want about him, but he climbed his way out of the abyss when everyone wrote him off and became President twice. He has just done fine by all accounts. How many billionaires have been President twice? Um none.

He would have just went bankrupt like he did all the other times and built it back up by marketing. He’s not some business genius. He is 100% a marketing and branding genius. He’s convinced a bunch of working class people he’s one of them. That’s an amazing skill, but give that dude a tumor on his pancreas and no one goes out a bigger bitch than him.

If natural selection were my enemy, I would be either dead, broke, or counting on others to get by. Not just financially.

What’s masculine about me? I take care of myself and my family, handle anything that comes up in life on my own, all of my interests are heavily male-centric, I have confidence, people come to me for help all the time, I shoot guns, and I’m 6’2”. That’s just a partial list. Notice that of all the trolling people have done to me over the years, nobody ever tries to claim I’m gay, because nobody would ever believe it. The fact that I still run a place like this despite all the shit it’s given me should speak volumes.

Notice all the stuff I say and do online is under my real name, and it’s often known where I’ll be in public, yet I always speak up and give few shits about whose feathers I ruffle.

All you ever do here is hide behind an alias and cry whenever people bash Democrats. And you claim I’m the soy one?

Ive known Druff for 15 years and spent time with him, including shooting firearms. Im not going to get into a long list or post, but he and I are a lot alike and have similar interests and we are alot different. One thing I will give him credit for is that he is a good father and family man. I really think this is huge. As for being a pro poker player, yeah, I wish I could do that too, not glamorous or so demanding, but its better than working for the man. Druff does take shit here from the other members, but I know he LOL's and shrugs it off. I think he might share too much here, but it also makes the place interesting.

As for being "gay", no one have ever mentioned that here and I know its not true. Even if he was gay, he'd still be one of my better friends.

In general, my friends would place me as a Type A personality, but that's EARNED, not given and you cant just declare yourself a Type A man. After being on this forum for over 12 years, I always considered most males here Type B based on posting. As some have figured out here, I was in the fire service and yes, earned the respect of others, put in 100% and have a good track record. But it also came with a price as you see really horrible things in real life. On the flip side, I have delivered a baby in the field among other things. Paid my dues, earned my salt and gave back to the community. Lastly, I have been an EMT for 36 years and still certified and that's something to be proud of. People actually trust you as a complete stranger to come into their homes and put hands on their family after calling 911 for an emergency. It truly is a privilege to serve.

As for Trump, I like the guy, but he has so many past skeletons in his closet, some things I just frown on. He is Hollywood by choice, a dirty group. Its funny how he has so many past issues with women and sex, but will never drink alcohol. Me- I rarely drink alcohol and keep in check. Trump is also almost 80, that makes him not so modern and current. I would have loved to see him be POTUS at age 65, would have been perfect.

In closing, you want to see some Type A personalty types that are paying their dues and proving themselves right now, look at those LAPD and CHP officers working the line and physically putting the protesters down and making the arrests. Its takes lot mentally and physically to do that. Putting in long hours while taking rocks and bottles to the body- they are doing it and we arent- total respect to those type.

Want to see a total pussy- Gavin Newsom. He banged his manager's wife, corrupt, liar, slimy, had a statue of himself made for the SF city hall and has never physically served the community. I wonder how his children actually view him?




Add-

Being a computer nerd isnt so bad, IT skill sets are important today. The key is if you know youre a nerd and then take steps to better improve your life, physical appearance and skill sets. I'll take a nerd any day over a unemployed burnt out loser who has a drug history.

If you want to be a Type A, I addressed the needed skill sets and background in anther thread made by Les about skills, awareness, etc.

He has billions, even without his Presidency. You can just dismiss it as luck, but still he earned it. I get academic guys like you want rich people to be scientists or something, inventors like Edison, etc.. Yeah, Trump is a street hustler at heart but he earned the money. He owns a shit load of buildings and golf courses, real assets. You might not like that, I get it, but he has been President twice and has about $8 Billion, give the man his due. What a life.

i cant believe this hasnt been mentioned but you might want to check for a recording of the live audio feed. because it wasnt this.

Can you provide the accurate live audio feed, I was not aware since it was also on Fox, maybe we were all duped and this video was a scam?

ill see what i can dig up, but the UFC has a long, established history of running their audio through something called 'the van', which is basically a mobile production studio that will dub in whatever crowd response dana wants.

the live / pirate feed of this that was streaming in real time for whatever reason didnt have that feed, perhaps because it was the version for foreign broadcast with different announcers, but the audience boo'd trump and when the camera panned the tyson everyone was just basically silent.

[sonatine]

and to your point, made above that point, who cares if the audience boo'd him. im not suggesting its some watermark for populist opinion shifts of course.

Well, that's on you. It would be a huge scam knowing Dana rigged the crowd noise. But hey if you got the goods lets see them.

wait you literally never heard about this before? my boy everyone knows it.

its literally in google's dipshit AI lexicon.

Well, you said you had the MaGruder tapes of the second shooter so lets just see your evidence on this one? Just post it.

The definition of the word masculinity does not include a relationship to virtue. It is not a word related to compassion, generosity, kindness, selflessness or any other celebrated words. Some associate masculinity with power because power is strongly rooted in the control of others by any means

The weapons of today are still wealth and violence in many parts of the world. Another important weapon, never so important, is dis-information (remember that's propagating falsehoods intentionally)
You can now reach the masses, pronounce your greatness and profit

But it gets better. The ability to reach a wide audience must come with stipulations surely. A main tenet of journalism, to provide all viewpoints to a particular subject now befell small media.

Story too long. Nixon struck down the Fairness Doctrine by a veto taking away the requirement to provide alternative viewpoints in their broadcasting. Owning such an operation became unbeatable
at the cost of all others

The difficult, important and honourable profession of journalism has suffered from a such nefarious piece of legislation. It will rebound because it exists in part to expose those who do what most will not for personal gain. There is no greater fear for someone ignoring, rules, regulations and laws than being exposed for them
