El Presidente Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I was taking my eldest son Ben to school today as he started his tertiary level schooling here (year 8...turning 13 this year). We talked about this and that and while he was nervous at the change to a new school, I could tell that he was well and truly ready. I have a hundred and one quips for different occassions (100 of them for rugby coaches to use when their team gets hammered ) but was thinking back to the best pieces of advice my dad ever gave me. What is the best bit of advice your dad or mentor ever gave you?
genevapics Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 If you can read and write you can do anything you set your mind to.
TR Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 man there are several: with regards to dating people at work: don't fish off the company pier or dip the pen in company ink and the classic don't **** where you sleep. With regards to the dreaded dry spell (sex of course): a thirsty man finds water much sooner and the hungry man find food much sooner....so stop jerking off! man I need a cocktail or two to keep them rolling....
Colt45 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 not necessarily the best advice, but these stick in my mind....... do unto others........ then split -- mad magazine. crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of the women -- conan the barbarian. and if I was really speaking to a young man -- don't worry about what others may think of you - try and be the best you you can be -- RB

shrink Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 This, from a good friend (now deceased) who was a highly decorated Green Beret in Vietnam: "Everyone is afraid sometimes. Only a fool or liar denies it. Courage is not the absence of fear. Courage is finding the strength to do what you have to do, in spite of your fear."

phxkev Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 Leykis 101 Rules Leykis 101 is a doctrine developed and promulgated by US radio personality Tom Leykis designed to teach male listeners how to achieve the most sex within the least amount of time, effort and money. Followers are called "Leykis 101 Students", and Leykis is "The Professor." Though only men are true Leykis "students," women are encouraged to listen to learn how men behave and think. Leykis' 101 class is currently held on The Tom Leykis Show on Thursdays. $40.00 Spending Limits Leykis 101 students are cautioned against spending more than $40 on a date. The reasoning behind this is Leykis' opinion that more money spent during a date will not necessarily lead to a better chance of sex, contrary to the belief of most 'uninformed' men. If the person a student is dating does not want sex by the third date, a Leykis 101 student is instructed to "dump that *****". Leykis asserts, as a matter of convenience to his students, that if a woman doesn't have sex with them by their third date, it means she has no intention of ever doing so. If you have to go on several dates before reaching your goal, this can make girls very expensive. How do you do this? There's several ways to cut costs. If you are going out to dinner, eat first. Then at dinner, just order a salad or bowl of soup. What girl is going to eat more than the guy, especially if it's the first dates? Does she want to look like a little piggy in front of him? 3 Dates Rule This one can be the hardest to follow, but abide by it. Girls know within the first 5 minutes how far they will go with you, and will probably do so at the earliest possible time. If you've been crossed off the "I'll sleep with him" list, it's very very difficult, and time consuming to get back on it. Your time is better spent chasing new prospects. If you're on the list, you can still screw it up by being a jackass. If nothing's happened in 3 dates, it's time to move on. The chances of you sleeping with her by now is very low. The only time you should see her again is if there is guaranteed sex. Continuing to pursue her will just cost you more money and waste more of your time. Single Mothers Never Date Single Mothers. Why? You already know their stance on abortion: they won't have one. Don't risk paying vaginamony or child support. Her kids will always be #1 in her life, and do you really want to take second-place to a woman? I didn't think so. Why support another man's mistake? How do you know she's not looking for a support figure? Or someone to support her financially? Think of all that, and realize that the odds are stacked against you. She's already had one mistake. She won't go for the Hail Mary (more on that below). The last guy didn't stick around. Why should you? This isn't to say that some of them aren't very nice, have been screwed over by ex-husbands, or would be very great mates. But if you're just looking to get laid, they are a definite off-limits. More than likely, you're hooking up with a girl who wants another try at something she messed up the first time. With the hostility of today's legal system towards men, you just don't want to take the chance. Leykis insists that some men have been ordered by the courts to pay child support to their former wives, even though they were not the biological father of her children. This, he asserts, financially ruins the men for many years making them unable to start a new life with another woman or enjoy the money they earn. Tabasco Sauce Dispose of the used condom by flushing it down the toilet. Since this is not always possible, men are encouraged to carry some hot sauce to pour inside the used condom. According to Tom Leykis, there are several cases where women have attempted to impregnate themselves with the contents of used condoms, in an effort to extract child support payments from the man. Leykis advises men who use the 'hot sauce method' to "get out as soon as they hear a scream", probably indicating that the woman has tried 'injecting' the contents of the condom into herself. Leykis says, "if you're the risky type, stick around and sue her for attempted extortion." Habanero and Tabasco are two widely used. Put some inside the used condom and kill the sperm. In an attempt to get pregnant, there have been several reported cases where women take the used condom, insert the sperm into themselves, and try to get pregnant. Without your consent of course. TAG!! You're It. For the next 18 Yea Why? Child support and she's set with your money. Especially if you are rich. Do not just leave it lying around. If you use the hot sauce method, and you hear her scream, take your stuff and RUN. If you're the risky type, stick around and sue her for attempted extortion. Her area is very sensitive to chemicals and she will think twice before trying that again. Dating Co-workers Dipping your friend in the company ink is a strict no-no. In fact, you should not engage in any conversation with a woman at work unless it directly relates to work. Do not compliment them. Do not ask them out to dinner. Your conversation outside of work should be limited to Good (Morning / Afternoon / Evening). If you go beyond this, you're a lawsuit waiting to happen. If you do date a coworker and you break up, things can get tense around the office (especially if it was a nasty breakup). She can sabotage your career or, worse, file lawsuits claiming sexual harassment. At the minimum, you will have to see her every day, and maybe collaborate with her frequently. It's just not worth it. With all the background checks employers perform, if a sexual harassment lawsuit pops up you can say good buy to that job. The courts are very hostile towards men in this regard as well, so just play it safe. If women want to be engaged in normal conversation, they can lobby the courts to be more lenient first. We're not going to risk our future to try to get a date with someone who, for all we know, is waiting for a guy to say "nice skirt" so she can claim sexual harassment and settle for a large sum of money. Report all sexual harassments! If do not report it then it means that it is acceptable for a women to sexually harass men and get away with it. Approaching Women in Groups Girls travel in packs when they're not looking to hook up. It lets the not-so-hot girls get as much attention as the real babes in the group. It's almost impossible to get one alone, much less take one home. Most likely, if you approach a girl in a pack, one will act as a "blocker," stalling you from your real girl. Chances are, when women are in a group, that someone is sober enough to tell her know, and insist that she go home with them. Just don't pay them any attention. Don't buy them drinks. Take a number, maybe, but don't pursue them. Sex to Go No spooning. No cuddling. No staying over. In and Out. This might be hard, might be easy, but if you do these things you're sending her a very clear message: you're not interested in a serious relationship. A serious relationship is the only time these kind of actions are appropriate. Serious Relationships The general rule is, don't have a serious long-term relationship until you're 25. If you're in a committed relationship, it says you're ready to settle down. Get everything out of your system first: The three-ways, the one-night-stands, the fetish girls, the fantasies. Wait until you're in the 30's before you marry. You should have a well-established career by then, you'll be better prepared to afford a wife and kids. Hopefully within a steady well balanced home environment. Remember, once kids are involved there is no such thing as separation. She will always have some input into your life. Even if you leave she can make you pay child support. Make sure you are ready to have kids and make sure both of you agree on it. If you're under 25, you should not have a girlfriend. You should be having fun and sleeping with as many people as possible. Some men do mature at different rates. If you're ready for marriage or kids, go for it. Just remember that over 50% of marriages fail. You had better be damn sure of it, or you will be paying for it the rest of your life. Marriages where both parties are older than 25 have a much, much higher success rate. Children raised in solid households are much less likely to be social delinquents. Weekend Dates Do you want to look like a loser who has nothing better to do on weekends than wait for her to call? You should not answer calls from potential booty calls Thursday-Sunday, unless it is guaranteed poon. * You have to make the girl believe that she has competition. * That your time is valuable. * That you have better things to do on weekends than spend time with her. * You are a person in demand, even though you may be at home watching T.V. She'll be thinking: Are you with another girl? Are you in the bars? Attending an important meeting? Keep her guessing. It will intrigue her. Humans generally want what they can't have. If you make her believe she can't have you, she'll be that much easier to bag when you "let her in." Even if you have nothing to do, let her leave a voice mail. You're busy (banging other chicks, for all she knows). If you do call never leave a voicemail; she'll be wondering what you wanted and if you made other plans. Remember, you're a person that is always in demand! Cell Phone Dates If a girl answers a cell-phone call in the middle of dinner, get up and leave. Why? The person on the other end is the guy she's going to have sex with when she finally gets rid of you. If she says it's her kids, you're already violating the no "Single Mothers" rule. Her work? It's a date and it's late, if her work is more important then you, then it will always be more important. If she says its her friends, all her friends know she's out. That's just how women work. She can just turn the phone off and wait to gossip until the date is over. You on the other hand, should carry a cell phone. Avoid answering it during dinner, by have your buddies make a call or two. Ignoring her for "work" makes you look important and in control. She will try to test you and get your attention on her. Sex might be used to get your attention. If a female answers a cell-phone call in the middle of dinner, Leykis advises that the male should immediately get up and leave. He justifies this as follows: * It is possible that the caller is another man who she is going to have sex with when she finishes her date. * If the caller is one of her children, the man is already violating Leykis' 'no-single-mothers' rule. * If the call is work related, and is deemed more important than the man now, it will always be more important. * If the caller is a friend, Leykis claims, the woman is "most certainly lying because all her friends know she's out." Leykis believes if a woman deems a 101 student unimportant enough that she feels comfortable answering her cell phone during the date, she is not sufficiently interested in having sex with the man. Leaving immediately, he advises, would save the man a good deal of money. In contrast, he believes the man should always carry a cell phone on dates. Leykis' logic follows that a man ignoring a woman for a work related call will actually make him look more "important and in control", thereby drastically reducing the "waiting period" women observe before having sex with men they're dating. Leykis claims that a woman will try to test a man, trying to focus his attention on her and, he believes, there's a good chance that sex might be part of the attention-getting hunt. Women in Bars A wingman can be helpful to break up a pair of girls or get them at your table, but going alone can be just fine. If you're desperate, just leave. Girls can smell despiration a mile away. That has a small stink of desperation, and if the girls in the bar see you get rejected once, you're pretty much shot for the night. Sit at the bar or at a small private table. You have your money on the table (it's the closest item men have to attract "horny women"). Dress nice, in darker clothing (to appear dark, mysterious, etc.) Have a drink or two, and just watch the action. Scan the room. See who you want to have sex with. Sooner or later, girls are going to approach you. Wonder if you're waiting on someone. Or if you're just lonely. By not approaching, you're not buying girls drinks that you have no chance with. Girls who approach you will likely sleep with you because you've already made the list of people they will sleep with. Now you just have to close the deal. Homely Pickings Normally only the fugally women remain late into the evening before the club or bar closes. The hot women have already found the men the will be doing while the fugally one's get left behind. If you don't care who you have sex with then this is the best time to find a desperate girl. By know you should be to drunk to care and horny enough to have sex with Miss Rosy Palms. Save yourself some money, go to a club before it closes, and pickup those women no one else would touch. No Gifts Unless she's your wife never buy her a gift. If you get them a gift once, they will try to get more expensive gifts later. If you HAVE to buy a gift for a girl, getting jewelry is probably the worst idea. Girls take jewelry as a sign of commitment. Getting her jewelry will either scare her off because of commitment, or drive her more into commitment, which you don't want unless you plan on marrying her. You should not get her anything unless you have had sex with her. Remember, you're trying to get laid not develop a relationship. Birth Control Always use birth control no matter what. You should be using birth control AND so should she. The pill is NOT the only form. There's about 12 different forms of birth control , they can't be allergic to all of them. If a girl is not on birth control, she wants to have a baby. Maybe not right away, maybe not with you, but if it happens she won't be too upset. Do not, under any circumstances, stick it in without a condom. Even if she says she's on the pill. You don't know if she's tell the truth, or missed a dose, or simply forgot. You just don't know. Don't take her word for it and protect yourself. Remember, 60 minutes of irritation is better much better then 18 years of child support. Beverage Consumption If using alcohol is your method of entry, then never buy a women beer or a light liquor. Not only will she not get the buzz your looking for but she will be taking a piss all night long. Leykis 101 students buy their women harder liquor such as Jagermeister, tequila shots, long islands, etc. Never take advantage of someone that is unable to consent to sex. You don't want to spend the next 10 years in jail and labeled as a sex offender for the rest of your life. 60 Minutes of pleasure is not worth destroying the next 60 years. Women and Alcohol Are Women More Vulnerable to Alcohol's Effects? "Women appear to be more vulnerable than men to many adverse consequences of alcohol use. Women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood and become more impaired than men after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol. Research also suggests that women are more susceptible than men to alcohol-related organ damage and to trauma resulting from traffic crashes and interpersonal violence. This Alcohol Alert examines gender differences in alcohol's effects and considers some factors that may place women at risk for alcohol-related problems." "Women absorb and metabolize alcohol differently than men. In general, women have less body water than men of similar body weight, so that women achieve higher concentrations of alcohol in the blood after drinking equivalent amounts of alcohol (5,6). In addition, women appear to eliminate alcohol from the blood faster than men. This finding may be explained by women's higher liver volume per unit lean body mass (7,8), because alcohol is metabolized almost entirely in the liver (9)." Types of Dates No Coffee, breakfast, or lunch dates. Why? They're non-threatning. There's no booze. There's good lighting. All the advantages a bar or club are gone. Girls say, "well they're no-pressure situations," or "i don't feel like anything is expected of me afterwards." In translation: "I don't feel like I need to, or should, have sex with him afterwards." This is bad! It might sound "mean," but you want them to feel pressure. You want their inhibitions a little lower. You want them to feel like something is expected of them. Your chances for getting laid increase dramatically. Nobody ever got laid after a coffee-shop date. There's no point in going. Just say no. Jerks and Assholes We are assholes and jerks. That's right. If you follow these rules, you'll probably be called a jerk or an *******. Wear it with pride. "Nice Guys" don't get laid. Ever notice how all the hot girls keep complaining about guys they hooked up with who turned out to be an assholes? You could be that guy! The guy who has his way with her one night, then leaves the next day and is never heard from again. Or maybe hooks up with her for a few weeks, then she finds out he has another girl on the side. A monogamous relationship is not what you're looking for. Master Filibuster Take her home and do not stop for food. She's just been drinking all night, you both are horny, and you're quickly trying to go to her house to hopefully get laid. You want to minimize the distance from drinking to sex. If she asks you to stop at a fast-food restaurant, or diner, she's stalling (filibustering). She knows she's a little buzzed and is trying to buy some time to sober up. Sober up so she won't be as horney and try to avoid sleeping with you. If you don't want this to happen then then don't take her out to eat. Avoiding it is relatively easy AND sets you up for a quick exit later. If she asks, say that you have to work early the next day, you'll drop her off, and and leave. If she can't get another ride home, she'll drop the idea. If she can, she'll probably be having sex with the booty call/ride after you leave anyway. If you get back to her place and get it on, you then have an excuse to get out fast. Eating Before Dates The idea goes back to our Spending Limits rule. Eat a hearty meal before you go out on a date with her. That way, when you take her out to dinner, just order a green salad, and save money. No woman wants to eat more than you or else she'll look like a pig. Marriage Contract It should go without saying to get a prenuptial agreement. Today, marriage is like a merging of two corporations. If you get married, you each take on half of each other's assets. That is, unless you sign a prenuptial agreement. Even that isn't guaranteed. * If you have her sign it very close to the wedding, the agreement can be contested in court as having been signed "under duress." * If you have a date already set then sign the prenuptial, it can be thrown out for forcing the woman sign under duress. Make sure to have the prenuptial agreement signed before setting a date. * You should keep separate accounts. Buy your toys with your money. She won't get half of them if you can prove you alone funded them the gifts. * Keep a shared account for bills and everything else, but a private account for toys. * Make sure both of you have your own lawyers. That we she can't claim you and your lawyer coerced her into signing the document. * When it comes to signing the paperwork, have it recorded, and for a little extra hire a retired judge to witness the event. That will play in your favor in case she claims during the divorce she was pressured into signing the agreement. * Be very detailed and address all issues regarding kids, sex, her weight, how much she gets after certain years, palimony, cheating spouses, kids, the dog, businesses, stock, 401K, etc.. * You do not want the government screw you over for forgetting something. * Read several books about divorce agreements so you have a good idea going. * Pay the extra money for a reputable lawyer it will save you tons of money in the long run. She may argue that getting a prenuptial is setting the marriage up for failure. Don't be fooled because this is not the case. No more is getting car insurance is setting one's self up to get a car car accident. You are creating the prenuptial so that BOTH of you can be protected in case one passes away or there is a divorce. You both want to do what is good for the family! By no means is this a selfish act. You want to make sure that the government take control of something you both have struggled hard to build. If she doesn't want a prenuptial then she is the one that is trying to hurt the family. Taking the time and energy to create a prenuptial shows that you care about the other person and have made a conscious effort to think about protecting the family. The great thing about perpetual is that it give you and your wife the opportunity to set expectation before the marriage. So you both establish expectations and know where the other stands before making a large commitment. I am not a lawyer and the above items are just some points i've heard on The Great Tom Leykis Show. You Choose the Date You're paying for the date then you choose where to have it. You can decide what to do, where to go, and how long to do it for. If the woman pays for everything, great, you can do what she wants. The person who's paying is the person who decides. Otherwise, you might get stuck going to a ballet or musical when you'd rather see a movie and booze it up. Worse, she will pick the most expensive restaurant or activity possible to see if you will pony up. Having a firm plan shows that you're in control. Income and Women Your income generally determines the type of woman you will get. It's not often that you see a really rich guy with a really ugly girl on his arm. But you quite often see really amazing girls on the arm of homely but rich guys. Look at rock stars -- some of the ugliest guys on earth, but they get laid more than you can ever hope to. Money and power will attract women just as much as a 12" penis. Work hard on your career. Strive high. Don't settle. Stay hungry. Girls upgrade all the time to a richer man and guys do it to with hotter and younger girls. Facts of Life * Leykis claims that the more money a man makes, the more attractive he is to females. * Leykis claims that "young and hot girls" are a natural substitute for Viagra and Cialis. * Leykis also claims that until a student's career is established, he should not have girlfriends. He often quotes empirical evidence as justification for not getting married. Male Friends Unless they are ***, male friends want to have sex with their female friends. If the guy didn't find the girl attractive in the first place, he probably wouldn't have spent time with her in the second place. He just couldn't close the deal. Even worst he became her friend. If they both get drunk together and she offers sex, he will take her up on it. Be very wary of girls that spend too much time with their guy friends. If she disagrees with the above, have her call and flirt with one of her guy friends and ask him if he would come over and pound her tonight. Most likely she will be ringing the doorbell before she hangs up. No Sex At Your House Never bring a woman back to your place. Do you really want her to know where you live after you've dumped her and moved on to the next one? Do you want her dropping over uninvited on weekend and nights to "see if you're around?" No! Have sex at her house or a hotel. Holidays There are several important events that girls really want a guy around for. Christmas Eve and Day, New Year's Eve and Day, Valentine's Day, Thanksgiving Day, birthdays, etc. If you've been with a booty call for a while when one of these is comes up, then dump her. You'll save yourself the money that would have been spent buying her a present, and there's a lot of lonely chicks out there who want to be with somebody--anybody. Women want to feel feel validated on the holidays, so they go out on a hunt to find the sucker to buy her presents. Your appeal will be much higher as a man during these times. Sticking around with a girl during these times plants long-term thoughts in her head. You don't want that for a booty call. Change is Not Inevitable Some women have this idea that men are there to be molded and changed to suit their needs. This becomes more prevalent after a man's married. When you watch "the game." She can be welcome to support your activities but if she insists you stop, you insist she leaves. Women love what they consider a "fixer-uppers." That's why shows like Trading Spaces and ***** Eye for the Straight Guy exist. Girls think they can take a guy that makes good money and is pretty good looking, and turn him into their fantasy man. Don't let them do it. Your friends and habits were there before she was. She took you as you are. If she's not happy with it, she's the one that changed and she needs to deal with it. Women: Men don't get hints. Nagging doesn't help. In fact, if you nag, it's more likely to make us doing what you hate, just to spite you. You took the good with the bad, if you don't like what they were doing before you got together then you should have left. Prepare your Identity Be the Doctor, Lawyer, Successful Business Man, Band Leader, or Millionaire these gold digging women are looking for. Play their game and come out ahead. How is she going to know you're not really a doctor at 11:30pm after a couple Long Island Ice Teas? If you drive a Old Camery, say your car is in the shop and rent a better car like (Porsche work well) for a night out. If you're truly desperate, write your phone number on an ATM receipt that shows a very large bank balance (how will she know it's not yours?) You must never tell a girl exactly how much you make. It gets them thinking about what you can afford to woo them with. Worse, it can get them thinking about how to spend your money. Show them that you have lots of money, let them think they can get their hands on it, but never let them have it. Go as cheap as possible. The rich didn't get rich by spending money. Stick with the $40.00 dollar rule. Remember, when you are pretending to be someone else to have proof: * Friends to vouch for you. * Fake business cards. * Fake home address in a rich area. * Rented expensive cars. * Nice suits, pants, and shirts. * $100's on the outside and $1's on the inside. * An attitude that you're better then her. * Fake expensive watches and rings. Power Before Kids and Marriage Men have the upper hand before marriage and kids. They are not shackled by the government, kids, or a wife telling them what they can and cannot do. While women are trying to trap men into marriage the government is forcing men to pay child support for children that are not theirs. No Compliments Never compliment a women. It gives them a sense of power. You want to be in control. You don't want to let them think they can manipulate you. It raises her self-esteem and will probably lessen your chance of getting laid. Remember, we are jerks and assholes that don't give a ****. Easily Replaceable Your goal is to make a girl feel like she doesn't matter and that she is easily replaceable. Make sure that she knows this. On nights she doesn't put out then leave and call the next person on your booty call list. Even if you don't have a list, do not admit, and continue to leave. This will up her competitive spirit to have you stay around longer. In the spirit of competition, always check out girls that are hotter and younger than the girl you are with. If she calls you on it, admit it. She will feel threatened and it might give her more incentive to sleep with you or give you the best sex you've ever had. Remember, you're in charge not her.

chef2275 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 From a late uncle...on the golf course.... Life is like a game of golf...respect the ones that go before you, and be mindful of the ones that come after you. I really do not know if that has been said by a person of influence but to me it is something that i will never forget. chef

wp2 Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 "Don't let other people make decisions for you, but get all the information you can before you make your own decision." "I'm not in the relationship, so I can't give advice as to what to do." Both from my dad, WEP (5/10/97, RIP).
