Essential Quick Lil Gems on Dealing with Women

[TRUEST]

For a basic education on stocks, http://www.fool.com/ has what you need.

I'm still doing an assessment on it all, since it has been a while since I've dealt with stocks, but as of right now now, I wouldn't rush to put my money in the stock market. The period in which I invested was during a time when the economy was doing quite well, such as going through the tech boom, etc. Things have cooled off since then.

The typical recommendation you will get is to park it in an index fund due to the low fees in comparison to most actively managed mutual funds and due to the fact that most fund managers fail to beat them over the long-term.

The reason why I'm hesitant to invest in the market right now is due to the turbulence I see coming to America. We have a monumental amount of national debt, we're in wars everywhere and looking to get into more soon, etc. With the market, you have to park your money and sit on it in order to realize any real gains, unless you are just some uncannily skilled short-term trader... but over the long-term most short-term traders get demolished by the fees and the taxes that come from constantly jumping in and out of stocks. If you are confident in America being stable over the next 10 years or so, put your money in an index fund.

As for me, my personal recommendation right now is ensuring you are liquid (have a lot of cash or can quickly convert what you have into cash) and being debt-free, especially if you have any high interest bills. I don't know your personal financial situation right now, but if you have any debt, especially credit card debt, get that paid off, as well as any loans you have. I personally want to see how things start settling down here in America and around the world before parking any money.

What I'm personally doing is investing in my self-education and reading on how to start a business. I'd much rather have direct control over my money as opposed to dumping it in the market right now due to just how turbulent things can get in the near future. With a business, I have much more direct control and I can access my money quicker if necessary. If I do feel more confident on the overall economy, I'll let you know, but my personal recommendation is to pare down on your expenditures as much as possible, pay off all debts, and go cash heavy for now. If things get shaky, you'll have cash on hand to potentially get out of this country if necessary.

see this is why i've never really cared for doing all that "investing in stocks". frankly, i think most people who do it do it because they think it makes them seem "sophisticated". i dont understand stocks. dont know much about them. but the one thing i do know is u can lose ur money. and that's enough to deter me.

you're better off starting a business. but dont do something u consider to be work. something u dread doing. do something u love. that way, even if u spend hours on end working on it and dont get much in return, it wont feel like work. it wont feel like u wasted ur time.

any attempt to make money, in my view, beats watching endless hours of TV, bsing with the guys, or just doing dumb sh1t.

But then and again, I'm not even dating her so I can abort whenever I want. Hell even if I was dating her I could abort. I kinda just want to look for more girls tbh.

From this and your other posts in this thread I think the whole concept of bettering yourself as opposed to chasing tail is flying right over your head my man. Not taking shots just an observation.

So the chance of losing money via stocks puts you off of it, but starting a business, which has a 50% chance of not existing in 5 years, is the way to go?

Thread isn't labeled on how to better yourself, it's quick lil gems on dealing with women. Although I've bettering yourself has just recently become the subject topic, the thread is still based on women. I read the bettering yourself posts, but I don't express my concerns or admiration in them because I've already gotten it in my mind that I'm bettering myself, I have one girl on my roster, I stated the obvious, I can go out and find another one, reality of the situation is that I've been working on myself mainly, reason being why I've slowed down my posting in this thread unless I'm expressing a concern. Don't worry about me my man, I'm Gucci.

what is this pipl i keep hearing speak about and what purpose does it serve

 

[CrossBones]

its real fukked up to hear about people who put up with abuse and pretty much do nothing about it. they dont do anything besides ask "what do I do?" "why is he/she like that with me?"

when you dont have boundries, youre subject to any and everything the next person feels like throwing at you. when you dont immediately check something and let it be known that youre not having that, then understand that the odds are that the other person will not back off. you either just plain get out of something like that, or you give them the choice - they stop the drama and immature tantrums, or else you get gone.

men who are scared of their women are easily one of the most the bizarre, simptastic kind of men out there. I sort of see why a woman would be scared of a man, but that still does not mean she has to STAY with him. now a man whos scared of his woman yelling at him, hitting him, leaving him, or otherwise acting a fool gets the

Alright brehs,

Still reading the Malcolm X autobiography.

Although I have not completed the book yet, Earl Little had a few observations about dealing with women. It has already been mentioned here but here they are:

1) Most women feel that men are too easy to push around.

2) A woman should be babied occasionally to show her that the man has affection, but beyond that she should be treated firmly.

3) All women, by their nature are weak and fragile; they are attracted to a male in whom they see strength.

This was the knowledge possessed by pimps that the prostitutes felt that all men should know. They cosigned this philosophy and said it worked on them, although they were tough.

I am not condoning pimping....just relaying the message that I caught while reading the book brehs.

Do with it what you wish...

You gotta read the new one too by Manning Marable. Some are hating on it because they said the author was taking shots at Malcolm. I don't see it that way. Marable's book shows many sides of Malcolm flaws and all. In many ways, I'm more amazed at what he did now after reading the book than before.

In the Marable book, it seems as if Malcolm did have issues with women. In the book, he clearly doesn't love Betty and it's as if he was staying with her to save face within in the organization. He did seem to really like Bea Caragulian though. Marable also brings up the controversial relationship Malcolm had with a man.

Malcolm's dedication to Elijah was scary at times. He was so crushed when the nation started to turn against him. If I learned anything from this book, it's never put your faith in another person.

I finally drop this useless bytch from my life...It took a lot of courage, but once I lose respect for someone, I don't even care about you anymore.. Feel like this was suppose to be done a long time ago, but I kept trying to make it work.. Just in time for summer

thats the thing, breh. if you attach your faith as well as your personal image to someone else, you are bound to catch a bad break. only believe in yourself and your values. those are things that will stick with you forever, as long as youre true to them. this is why you cant put your everything into someone else, and you cant let what they do mess up your own image of who you are.

"As a young minister I wouldn’t have considered it possible for me to love any woman. I had too much experience that women were only tricky, deceitful, untrustworthy flesh. I had seen too many men ruined or tied down, or in some other way messed up by women. Women talk too much, and to tell a woman not to talk too much, would be like telling Jesse James not to carry a gun, or telling a hen not to cackle. Can you imagine Jesse James without a gun, or a hen that didn’t cackle, and for anyone in leadership or position as I am. The worst thing in the world that a man could have, is the wrong woman. Samson was destroyed by the woman that slept in his arms. It had been 10 years since I thought anything about a woman or a mistress, and as a minister now I was thinking even less about getting a wife------"

MALCOLM X (from the Autobiography of Malcolm X)

"In my years as a Muslim minister, I had always taught so strongly on moral issues. That many Muslim sisters accused me of being anti-woman. I had not even touched a woman for 12 years------"

MALCOLM X (from the Autobiography of Malcolm X)

"I love Sister Betty, she’s the only woman that I ever thought about loving. She’s one of the very few women that I have ever trusted. She’s a good Muslim woman and wife. With me trying to wake up this brainwashed black man, and telling this arrogant white man the truth. Betty knows this is a full time job. I am only home 2 or 3 days a week, but if I have to do work while I’m home she allows me to have that quiet time that I need to work in---"

MALCOLM X ( from the Autobiography of Malcolm X)

"While in Beirut I went walking, and I could clearly see the European influence upon their women. It showed me how any country’s moral strength, or it’s moral weakness is quickly measurable by the street attire and attitude of it’s women, especially it’s young women-----"

MALCOLM X

"Look at the women in America , young and old. Hardly any moral values are left in them. You can measure this by their dress and attire. Their spiritual values are almost destroyed, because of their emphasis on material things---"

MALCOLM X (from the Autobiography of Malcolm X)

"Our young girls, our daughters, and our baby sisters are becoming unwed mothers before they are hardly out of their teens. Our community has 1000’s of unwed mothers, that has no hope of ever getting a husband. Our community has 10’s of 1000’s of little black babies who have no father to act as their provider---"

Yea I have never put my faith into someone else, but the Malcolm situation hit me. I mean as he finally was finding his own way, his old life caught up with him.

Putting faith into anything is a recipe for disaster. It's almost like brands have become gods now. All the big banks were literally broke, but people still swear a Chase or Bank of America is safe. Since this is the overall consensus, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. At least as long as the game holds up.

While Malcolm is spot on in some of his observations, as a man you just have to learn to roll with the punches. Countries where women are forced to wear certain clothes and all this other crap just hinders a man from dealing with his own self.

As mentioned in this thread in various forms, the key is getting our own life in order. Once that happens, the noise from other people doesn't matter anymore.

Simon Cowell is often said to be harsh and rude. Maybe it's just because he's seen enough of the BS in people and does what it takes to get stuff done. As a result, chicks flock to him.
