My advice for fellow men posting to R&R (or just in general):
1. Don't complain about how your wife or gf treats you. Is there a reason she treats you that way? Put down the remote and work on it with her. Go to therapy. If you can't work it out, separate and get on with your life.
2. Don't brag about cheating on your wife. That's a lame thing to do. Real men don't brag about cheating on their spouses. When you brag to strangers online about cheating on your wife, you've reduced yourself to the lowest form of shit imaginable.
3. Don't post cock pics. It's lame. If you want to be with a woman, take a shower, shave, get dressed, and go out and meet one.
4. Don't whine. Real men don't wine. They effect change.
5. Don't post porn. It's lame. We all know where to find it if we want to look at it. The woman in the picture won't magically appear in your bedroom if you post it. You have better things to do with your time than that.
6. Stop being hateful. It doesn't make the world a better place. it doesn't make you happier. Shut off the computer and work on making yourself a better person.
7. Stop being angry. You were born into a world with many problems, get over it. We all have problems. The sun doesn't rise and set on your ass. Work them out. Shut up and Do what you need to do.
8. Don't act like an asshole just because you happen to be with some assholes. Be a leader. Wake them up or find better friends.
9. Stop being led by your cock. Men who are slaves to their own cock are weak. Lead your cock, don't follow it. Master your cock instead of master-bating it. Silly insecure boys post messages asking women to show their tits. Be a man, use your big head, get off your ass and go out and meet a woman. Both you and your dick will be happier for it.
10. Don't troll for FWB if you are in a relationship. There is nothing more cowardly than to sneak around behind your spouse's back. If you want to play the field then stop being a louse, grow some balls, step up to the plate and tell your spouse or girlfriend that you want to move on. You don't want her to waste your time, so don't waste hers. Be a man.
11. Stop hating on fat women. Fat women aren't happy about being fat. They know what they're up against and they don't need your shit to add to the problem. They're not all lazy fuckers, they're often victims of stress and depression like you, except they turn it inwards instead of spewing written shit like you. Be an encouraging pen pal, not a verbal shitheel.
12. Stop spewing racist shit. It's another waste of your time. All the minorities around you are here to stay. Get used to it.
13. Stop spewing homophobic shit. One in ten are gay. That means someone in your own family. Probably you. Gay people want the same thing you do: nice neighbors, a wide screen TV, lower taxes, and a day's pay. What's the fucking problem. Your bullshit won't change anything. Get over it.
My suggested goals for my fellow men:
1. Strive to be a man people want to be around. This means being congenial, fair, loyal, and honest.
2. Try to do something nice for someone at least once each day, even if it's as simple as holding a door for someone.
3. Decide what your principles are as a man and live by them. Make decisions using your principles instead of using fear, pain or pleasure.
4. Strive to exercise a few times a week. It keeps you fit and your mind clear.
5. Keep yourself groomed, clean, and neat. it will make you feel more confident.
6. You live in a marketing culture that tries to convince you that self gratification in all forms is the way to happiness. The real way to happiness is to give to others. Find a benevolent club, church, or organization. Join it and make a difference. Then you'll feel real happiness in spite of your other problems.
7. Shut the TV off. Find productive ways to spend your time. Any time you are about to do something, ask yourself first if you are just distracting yourself.
8. Don't spend your life distracting yourself from being something better.
9. Realize that everyday you are exposed to 3000-5000 advertisements.
10. Rise above the sea of bullshit around you. Be an island.
11. Stop worrying about keeping pace with your friends. Instead figure out what is important to you.
12. The world is full of creepy, insecure, arrogant, selfish, dishonest, and narrow minded men. You can be something better.
As men, truths to heed:
1. You are allowed to feel emotion, smile, laugh, and have fun
2. Asking for directions is a sign of strength, not weakness
3. The measure of a man is how he thinks and acts, not about muscles or tattoos. Think about that.
