Dealing with manginas

[VenomParticipant 310]

This is one of the bigger problems I’ve been having in my life. Even more so than women. Currently, I’m unemployed because I’m a recent graduate and I’m having a really hard time finding work in Las Vegas. In order to survive, I have to live with my parents for the time being.

So far, it’s great. However, I’m getting to the point to where I hate being around their bulls~~~.
For one, whenever I have some money saved up either from gigs, birthday money, holiday money, etc. I have to deal with my dad lecturing me about how “I should pay for my own s~~~, blah, blah, blah”

I’ve been trying to get a job for the past year and so far, no luck. I know it’s mostly because I have a “baby face” and look like I’m f~~~ing 15 years old. I know it’ll be awesome for when I’m older, but right now, it’s hindering my life in a really harsh way.

I also try not to ask my parents for anymore than what I need to survive on, and my mom has no problem giving me extra money when she has it. Neither does my dad. But, because I’m still dependent on them for the time being, my dad expects me to do all the house work/cleaning/taking out garbage/etc.

I have no problem with this. Only thing is, if I don’t do it “when he wants me to do it” he gets on my ass. Sometimes I wish I could tell him to p~~~ off, but it’s his house, and mangina or not, I’d never do that to another man in his house.

Anyone else ever had this type of problem when they graduated college? Or just in general with room mates or family members/manginas?

I’d say shovel snow or mow lawns, but you’re in the desert, whatever it takes to freelance an income out of thin air, try promoting yourself for a hired hand, I’m sure someone is in need of a hand somewhere. It’s totally up to you to find the void, create a niche, promote yourself, you can do it, just apply yourself, then amazing things will start to happen, all you need is a push! <pushing>

Yeah, I’ve had a few landscaping gigs. And hopefully I’ll have a few website development gigs within the next few months. I’ll just be glad when I finally move out. At this point if I had a car, I’d live in it.

That’s the spirit! Make due with whatever you can!
Around here (NewEngland) the car thing isn’t an option! Nobody can live in a four wheel cryogenic container!
Did you know your tires retain their “flat spot” around here. When you drive away (thupty thup thup) you have to intentionally swerve back and forth to heat the rubber and round out you tires. And plastic, shatters when you look at it! Also batteries don’t, you’re better off with a hand crank! I hate the f~~~in cold!

Staying with the parents after you’re grown is supposed to be uncomfortable. That’s why people move out. And your dad probably thinks he’s doing the right thing for you, so don’t hate him.
As to living in a car… if you can scrape just a few grand together there are some killer deals on older RVs, if you can find a reasonable park to stick it in.
I know it is harder now than when I was young, but I got out as soon as I could and shared places with other dudes until I could get my own s~~~ together.

Oh, I don’t hate my dad. He’s just annoying as f~~~. Plus, he’s a huge ass mangina. I know he’s trying to teach me well though.

And yeah, I thought about getting a cheap RV as well as a car once I get a few grand together. At least that way, I could park in Walmart parking lots or the casinos down here. They don’t mind just as long as they think you’re gonna waste your money on gambling.

I know what you mean. It’s like 45 degrees right now. But, it’s worth it. I’d rather live some place like Alaska and not deal with the tourist tropical cities like Honolulu.

You need to suck it up. It could be far worse, unemployed and without a place to live. Besides, those chores doesn’t seem that bad. Look at them as exercises.

I know, I’ll just be glad when I move out.

Hopefully by the end of this year, I’ll be able to.

Just grin and bear it. Your Dad is probably making it uncomfortable as a motivator, as other have already concluded in thid thread. I went through the exact same thing the 7-8 months after I graduated with my folks. You’ve put up with it so far, so make the suffering worth it by seeing it through and not making a quick decision just to get out of the situation. Im sure youll find something good soon.

[QuietlyquietlyParticipant 728]

Well I’m in the exact same position, but I’m 41! Due to some (now quite funny) life events, I found myself without a home, without a job, and without money. Dad came to the rescue, and for a few months now, I’ve been living in his attic. It’s all working out well, but he gets stressed if the house isn’t clean and tidy, and needs it done NOW.

I don’t bother arguing, or countering it, I just do it, and do it well. I figure that I have enough b~~~~ to say no at any time, but he’s doing me a huge favour, so it’s the least that I can do to reduce his stress. Funnily enough, it’s given me a brilliant opportunity to address all sorts of negative hangovers from my childhood, and see them in an adult light for the first time. My dad widowed, but is still controlled by women, and magically attracted to them for that reason. I just observe and chuckle to myself.

Just observe the chaos.

You are a recent grad of what? If you have a degree, you can easily get a job teaching English overseas no matter what your field is. Good pay, not too difficult and good experience for the resume. I can recommend schools and countries if you want.

[OgreParticipant 5863]

Normally my answer would be different, but since you are asking about a specific mangina it simplifies my answer. Regardless of his relationship with your mother or women in general he’s been more than benevolent in regards to you.

I pay for my daughter’s college. She lives with me. I recently co-signed for her car purchase. I still pay her insurance. She is employed full-time and goes to college 12 Cr Hrs per semester. She contributes little, including not helping around the house and even starting fights with both of her sisters occasionally.

The reason that I put up with her is the same reason your Dad has cut you slack. We love you enough to not watch you crash and burn, even though you’d learn infinitely more about self respect and respect for others if you lived in a car or crashed on a friends couch for a couple of weeks.

Try to cut your Dad some slack. If he was the conventional Dad like his then he’d probably have already walked you down to the recruiters office. Conversations where my daughter is being obstinate usual end abruptly when I congratulate her on finding her new place to live (which I know she doesn’t have), and asking her if she has any roommates, and asking her what her plan is to pay for everything I’ve been covering for her.

I’m not slamming you, I’m just trying to get you to realize that looking down on the person that is providing the level of comfort that you have is dangerous when you consider yourself to be going your own way. You’ve gotten infinitely more from them than you ever will from the company and extortion of a woman.

I failed to realize in my youth that I was the prize. I was going to work. I was going to earn. Little did I realize that due to feminism, that no longer meant I had to share. Road soon, Desert after.

Good comment, good advice +10

Things are way tougher than when we oldsters first graduated. You almost have to go your own way to make money these days. I know so many guys doing it so keep it up. Never give up as it will pay off eventually. The reason you’re having trouble finding a job is that the Banksters and Big Guvmint have f~~~ed things up severely.

If you are good with web site development, go hit every small business you can find with an amateur web site. Don’t depend on others to bring work to you. Go out and get it for yourself.

I totally agree with Ogre. Be happy your father is not like my mangina brother who is controlled by his screwball wife. You’d be living under a bridge.

Family looks out for each other as long as you’re not running a meth lab in the basement everything is cool.

[VenomParticipant 310]

To all those who think I’m slamming my dad or anything, I’m not. I’m completely grateful to my parents for helping me out with everything. But, he is a total mangina. He wants me to have a wife, kids, white picket fence, you know, typical tradcon s~~~. And other than little things that build up over time, just gets to be unbearable.

I guess you’d have to be in my shoes to understand that.

One of the biggest reasons I’m not getting a job is because I look like I’m 15 years old. Almost no one takes me seriously as far as employment goes. I knew if I looked my age, I could be out of my parent’s house within a few months.

Also, because I look so young, I get the same flack from my dad as employers would give to me.

And as most of you know, most men as well as most women expect you to fulfill the traditional roles of men by the time you’re 20. But, since I haven’t been able to get a job, I have to deal with their lecturing about how “tradcon men are supposed to be” almost every other day.

[Anonymous 11]

Venom,

I had the same problem in my early 20s. I looked like I was f~~~ing 16. It severely affected me with women as I did not have that rugged look. Once someone learns your true age and what you can do, that all goes out the window except for women. I remember not being taken as seriously too by my employers until they learned what I could do for them .

In my late 40s, it now works in my favor as it will for you. I can approach women way younger than me w/o freaking them out. Once they get to know me, I let them learn my true age. Being in IT work, it protects me from age discrimination too.

A lot of people don’t understand the current job market. The rules have changed. Tradcons have difficulty grasping this concept. Any employer with jobs to offer is like a hot 21 year old babe at a sausage bar.

After I lost my corporate job due to a merger, I spent 15 months hunting at the depths of the worst part of the job market. I finally gave up and went my own way. I just hooked up with a new client at a Christmas party.

My recipe:

Associate with wealthy people and offer them services. Landscaping, painting damn near anything. Network, network and continue to network. Never stop networking.

Manginas are everywhere. We have to just leave them be and accept them as a lost cause.

Hey Venom, all things “traditional” have been trampled underfoot by the obnoxious feminist, and their “gynocentric laws”. Each one of us is making it up as we go along, like a bunch of ants escaping from a log tossed in the fire, no one can tell you which way to turn, it’s not them that will burn!
Advice is cheap, but bad advice is a sure path to ruins.
Screw the tradcon and their beliefs! They run around enduring smoke inhalation until the eventually fall in the fire! Their only advice is BAD ADVICE!

[VenomParticipant 310]

@chauvinistpig

Yeah, tradcons don’t get that the way employers hire now a days are all screwed up with affirmative action and quota bulls~~~ laws.

I’ve been working on my programming skills lately as well. I’m also planning on starting a GitHub account to show them off to employers.

And yeah, I’ve done quite a few landscaping gigs for a few wealthy men. One of them actually wants me to start a blog for him at some point for his older followers.

I’m also going to start going to career fairs more often. I think that’ll help with the networking portion of getting a good position.

@MG-ɹǝʍo┴

Haha, amen to that!
