Are we in trouble mainly because of materialism?

Perrob:

And if I had to choose between living with my parents and playing video games in the basement all day long or working at “Bannana Republic” as a clothing salesman, I think I’d rather just play video games.

 

The funny thing about these video games is that life sucks so bad for so many young american males now that they can’t even THINK about starting a family or having children.

Hotnoob: 88% of the consumer money is spend by women? Holy S~~~. What does that say about how many pussy whipped White Knights are really out there?

 

Holy f~~~ing s~~~! That means that men are literally spending 12% of all the disposable income in exchange for hopefully getting sex about 6% of the time or some dismal percentage of time.

 

My God, these women are spending money out of f~~~ing boredom. If they are going to waste this much money it would be better off if they just handed it to some crack-head on SkidRow so they could afford to buy more drugs rather then waste it on the things women buy.

Hotnoob: you’ve got the right idea.

Until you have a high income you are much better off buying second hand items.

If and when you do end up making a high income you still can buy many things cheaply and even get better quality.

I like shopping in Pawn Shops, The Salvation Army and Garage Sales. I do stay away from Wal Mart type stores though because that stuff usually doesn’t last.

I know some filthy rich people who literally don’t spend money. Like…at all…

I mean they could be driving Rolls Royces but they just don’t care.

I don’t understand it entirely, but you’d be surprised how many people out there who are worth Mega Bucks who don’t spend anything and live as if they are living off $40,000 year salary. (Of course if anyone knew how much money they really had, they would probably be killed: that’s why they are so low key)

I’m probably most into shopping on Amazon & Ebay. Especially for books. I’ve seen books from the College Law School that are $250 that I can get on Amazon for $1.  That’s creating some sort of secondary market and the social planners are freaking out over how to deal with it.

Basically spending money is just death. Some day your ass is going to get sued, you are going to have a kid, or you are going to lose a ton of money investing, or housing prices will fall by 90% and you will be s~~~ out of luck if you don’t have a half million sitting in the bank. Your ass will be out on the streets and nobody is going to come and bail you out.

That’s what it boils down to.

Sure, you’ll be a single, sexless, MGTOW and yes, that sucks. I’m not saying it doesn’t suck. But to actually be stuck paying child support and getting into debt and becoming a total debt slave is hell.

Reminds me of when I was on a dating site a few years back. When I first joined the site I listed my profession as “healthcare”, as I figured it was generic enough description, and I did not want to be specific.

I kid you not I got 15-20 emails every day, and every second email was “are you a doctor?”. I felt pretty good about the number of site responses and thinking this was a cool thing, until I realized what was going on. Then I got disgusted. Still I kept reading the e-mails. Out of curiosity I started replying to them with a resounding “no”, and either they never replied, or what replies I did got were often nasty – accusing me of being there to deceive women or make trouble with lies. I was astounded at some of the garbage that women would send. Some forwarded nude pics, others offers to be a loyal and good wife. Some sounded really genuine, and some sounded like mail order hookers. I had no picture on my profile, and only a very basic couple of paragraphs on me. Did not matter. These women were like flies on sh*t.

Then when I changed the profession field to something more specific, that showed I was not a doctor…..maybe 1 or 2 emails a week. Again every second or third one was “are you a doctor?”. I just found it a sick shock to think women could be so shallow in such large numbers. It was a wake up call, but proof I did not want.

Four months or so later I got a email from the web site that said my profile had been removed after numerous complaints that I was misrepresenting myself.

Yeah women are the dark side of the force that spawned materialism. Any man who dates or hooks up with a woman who embraces that kind of thinking is a fool, even if just after a little roll in the hay. Women always have a game plan, if that plan involves your wallet……run.

"Women have become so full of hatred that they are blind to reason and humanity. That which they practice will be the end of humanity, long before any war that men may fight.." "Women are predators by nature. Why else do you think they are so quick to gang up and go after a man they hate for showing any sign of weakness?"

Anyone with two eyes and half a brain can see that women in our country are materialistic.  Whether it is our culture, the media, or peer pressure that caused materialism is irrelevant.  Women are responsible for their own actions.  They are constantly saying they don’t want to be treated like a sex object and yet they treat men like walking wallets.  My ex use to tell me “if you can’t give me the life I want I’ll find a man that will” and “I’ll treat you like a man when you  make man money”.  What the hell is man money and who is she and who are women to decide what man money is?

We are nothing more than a business agreement to women and when they find a better deal they jump ship.  I can not fathom why in the world any man would want to be with a woman.  Why would you want to be with something you know will never truly love you?  How can you look at yourself in the mirror and respect yourself as a man knowing she only respects you if you keep her financially happy?  You are a traitor to yourself if you are OK with this.

As for me I will no longer be judged based on the size of my wallet.  My worth is what I determine it is.  My value is more than what I can do for some f~~~ing woman.  I was not born to work myself to death to make a woman happy.  My existence is not merely to glorify her and worship her as if she were some f~~~ing god.

Funny story….

I met this broad about a year ago.  She was hot to trot, etc.  We talked at length about what we wanted out of life.  She, of course, had gotten a big house out of her divorce.  Her daughter was about to graduate and go off to college.  So, she was blathering on and on about how she wanted to simplify her life and downsize everything.  She claimed she just wanted to live a minimalist lifestyle and grow a vegetable garden.  I’m thinking, “Cool…I’m down like doo doo brown!”  Up to this point I hadn’t revealed much about myself.  Well, I s~~~ tested her on her line of bulls~~~.  I explained that I already lived a minimalist lifestyle (true).  I further went on to explain that my tiny 1 bedroom apartment consisted of a bed, a t.v., a couple of dishes, and my guitars.  I said, “I don’t even own a couch.  I have a lawn chair I sit in.” (also true).  Boy did her tune change!  All of the sudden she wasn’t so interested in me!  She blathered on about how “a woman likes to have nice comfortable surroundings”, etc.  Whoa!  Wait a f~~~ing minute!  Weren’t you just going on and on about how all this material s~~~ doesn’t matter and how you want to downsize and live a simple life?  LULZ!

Well, I’m glad I didn’t tell her about being “couch poor” until I had already had her t~~~ out playing with them while she jerked me off.  I thanked her for the fun and told her I would call her.  I didn’t….stupid c~~~.  Just because a guy doesn’t blow his wad on purple hats, hair gel, and shark skin suits doesn’t mean he doesn’t have money.  Maybe that guy just likes to keep his money where it makes him more money?  That never dawns on them….probably a good thing though.  Joke’s on her!

HISTORY...learn from it, memorize it, DON'T repeat it...

I think people are confusing materialism with consumerism.

There’s nothing wrong with materialism.  Materialism is the position that my motorcycle is more important than some bitch’s soul.  And it is.

Consumerism is a different matter.  Consumerism is some bitch’s belief that she needs yet another pair of black shoes to complement the 31 other pairs of black shoes she already owns.  Anyone with a double digit IQ can see where that will lead to trouble.

Well, for me, since I have decided not to ever get married I feel so much pressure from myself and societies conditioning has completely gone. I don’t feel stressed about affording a wife, extreme mortgage, kids, the cars and lifestyle. I can actually smile and breathe for the first time in my life!
And when the married guys come over to my place and see my toy shed, you can just see the envy and also them quietly adding up the numbers in their heads.
