The Official Coli Renaissance Man Thread

[True Blue Moon]

i would learn how to make exotic dishes. F*ck a class, just get a recipe book, and practice until perfect. Recommendations:

Thai (especially the desserts)
Peruvian (especially anything ceviche or japanese fusion)
Mongolian (especially any mongolian meat dish)

Nikkaz and b*tches will be like, how the f*ck did you learn how to make this, and you'll be like

Exactly. And that makes you interesting as fukk. You'll make dudes around you wanna step their game up and chicks will be like

I don't fully agree that you need wealth to be a well-rounded individual. The following are more or less free:

1. Voraciously devour media (books, music, movies, television)
2. Cook
3. Play a musical instrument
4. Honestly try to understand arguments against positions you hold

Really the main reason I want to get money is to travel. I can cook, learn languages and become well read on my own, but if I wanna cross over into other continents there's no way around paying for them flights.

Not wealth, but financial independence, you don't need to be wealthy to be financially independent. And not sure how well-rounded you can be without traveling extensively

It's crazy, my brother spent years in federal prison and basically came out a type of Renaissance man. He already knew over 5 languages and is well traveled, and was handy with tools, but he learned how to cook all types of different dishes and of course read more books and got in shape behind the wall. Mexican, Jamaican, Chinese, American, Soul Food, Indian, Italian, I'm pretty thankful that he passed the cooking game to me.

You'd be surprised where you find sophistication, nikka was a total slob before the feds. Came home and was a gangsta ass Martha Stewart, makin me clean the house n shyt.

Won't stunt tho, he was what motivated me to get on some Renaissance man shyt. That's like the ultimate level for a man to get to, completely self-sufficient so you only need a bytch to fukk.

If you guys want Pimsleur for Spanish, I'm gonna try to upload the first unit for everyone on Google Drive or Dropbox.

It's crazy that you put it that way but you're absolutely right. It's nice to have a chick cook for you or give you massages and all that but the real key is to put HER onto shyt. It's like Chris Rock said, men don't go backwards with sex, women don't go backwards with experiences.

Like one of my friends is into dressing nice and upscale, exclusive kinda restaurants. When he was with his son's mom he'd take her on dates to this member's only dining place that's really upscale and they just bill you for your meals. He'd go back and speak to the chef and had the waiter showin off the proper way to open a wine bottle and pour it for the table. You know the panties get wet for a dude with that kinda clout and sophistication.

We were talkin like last week about how she already wants him back. Outside of that stuff he's a regular chill black dude. If she's out lookin for a new regular chill black dude, 9 times outta 10 she's gonna find a nikka whose idea of treatin her for her birthday is Chili's for 2 for $20 .

And it's not just about spending dough, but you gotta be the nikka that puts them onto shyt because women naturally copy their men.

Does it work? I'm planning on doing programs like these and listening to music heavy before jumping on the webcam to chat with a language learning buddy.

I haven't been keeping up with Pimsleur to be honest. I tried the first two lessons though. It's a lot of repetition but it definitely sticks. I'm gonna upload this tomorrow on Dropbox or Google Drive and if you guys want it, PM me with your email.

That's what's up. Another good one is called Spanish Without Toil. I got it from a torrent a while back. If ya'll mess with it tho be sure it's the old ones from like the 60's that they ripped from actual records. Heard that one's a lot better than the modernized version.

Damn, I gotta make friends at flight companies. I've traveled to the islands and Mexico enough. I'm really looking forward to venturing into other continents. Going to Europe in May though

Got an uncle in the military in Germany that's going to show the fam around.
