"You're weird!"

[Anonymous 1]

Women have labeled me as weird, all of my life. Right up to the point when they need you to fix their car, computer, roof, electronics etc. Well not any more, MGTOW, lets see how they like that.

We help society when needed. Is that weird? Not at all. BTW – if you’re looking for a great hobby this is it. Fun and you can help serve your fellow man. http://www.arrl.org for info.

Years ago I wanted to get one of those military surplus receivers with an unlimited range of frequencies. IIRC they were used to test aircraft radio transmitters. I can’t even imagine what one would be worth today. Are they even legal to own now???

They can’t think past their own lives so it never occurs to them to be prepared for anything.

They’re narcissistic far, far past the point of mental illness.

People call me ‘weird’ too but evidently I’m not so weird that they don’t call me up when something needs fixing, welded, or to get hauled away….

Funny how that works.

They are women, so they automatically think they should be taken seriously. This is why they insult and believe it should matter to you. Haven’t you ever wondered why women will almost never compliment men on anything – or admire your positive qualities?

It will always be spun into a negative.

Ya know, KM . . . I hadn’t realized it until you said it, but you’re spot on. The number of compliments I’ve received from women is minimal, just minimal compared to the lifetime of complaints and bitching I’ve endured. Maybe 1:100. Maybe. Probably closer to 1:300. And yet, some oddly programmed part of me used to live for those compliments in some sick, sick way. Rather less so, now. Interestingly, I’ve noticed that while female bitching and complaining engages me much, much less than it used to, female compliments don’t mean much either. I just figure it’s all garbage, and meaningless. It has no actual relationship to reality. What women say has more to do with their total lack of control than with anything else.

That’s not weird. Now, THIS is weird.

I really don’t ever worry too much about any sort of ‘infrastructure breakdown’. OTOH, you can never actually have enough potable water, firewood, rice, ammunition, bandages and toilet paper stashed away. I do try and keep stocked up… 🙂

This is my two cents:

They are afraid of you and what you stand for and believe because it challenges their safe little word and through you they see how fragile it is. This scares them. They know it but wish to deny it, so they may shun you or shame you to attempt to make you conform so you quit scaring them/ challenging their views of the world. They want you to submit.

P~~~ on them.

You do not sound weird to me but well thought out.

Geez. You just reminded me of some stuff I used to have. 23 Channel CB radio, power mike, twin hustler antennas, and a 75 watt linear (illegal). That damn thing made my generator light in my old VW come on every time I keyed up, it was so powerful. I loved f~~~ing with people. I guess I was a troll many years before the internet was invented.

They always make fun of and question what they don’t understand. I was made fun of young and was called weird for liking aviation, trains and history. Don’t regret a minute of it. Eventually the lizard brain took over more for awhile. Most of them have no passion for anything that’s not their phone or staring blankly back at them in a mirror. So they compensate by laughing at people because they’re hollow inside.

Weird = Not doing what they think you should be doing.

Meh. Their opinion is a complete waste of oxygen.

Fuck this planet.
