My 100 advice notes
« on: March 28, 2012, 10:33:06 PM »
Just got done writing this today. 100 advice notes that i've noticed during my 21 years of life. I'm sure some of these will change, but I figured you guys might find it interesting. Feel free to contribute or discuss.

Edit: not in any particular order.

[Also, for clarification, this was originally written for a 4chan thread; the target audience being early 20-something guys]

1. Concentrate on being a good man first, everything else will fall into place
2. Sex is overrated
3. Take risks often
4. Don't Smoke pot more than twice a week and not more than 6 times per month
5. In the long run, it is better to pay a lot for a high quality product, than to buy a cheaper inferior version that'll you'll notice annoying problems with
6. God is in the details
7.  Learn the names and ingredients of at least five alcoholic drinks, and have a faveorite. Knowing exactly what you want at a bar will make you look more confident.
8. Great looking women are often more annoying and less interesting, but not every one
9. Keep a well stocked bar, but only use it with guests over
10. Force yourself to smile a lot,  even when you don't want to
11. Learn to use stereotyping as a general guideline for meeting new people, but let the stereotype fall apart as you get to know them
12. Never be in a relationship with someone you meet in a mental institution or jail
13. Be conversational in at least 1 other language, Spanish preferably
14. Don't act overly excited to do anything, especially around women.
15. Don't smoke cigarettes
16. Don't marry before 25
17. Be a cultured person, know about world geography
18. You can't fake being poor, so don't try
19. Listen to a wide variety of music
20. Have a hobby, any hobby will do as long as you enjoy it
21. Its okay to like something very obscure, just realize that most people will think you're weird if you talk about it all the time
22. Money will not bring you happiness, but it will make your life easier to live
23. Men with big trucks in urban areas are usually trying to make up for something
24. Be tolerant of people. It doesn't mean that you agree with or like them, just that you won't fight them over their beliefs
25. If you smoke pot, have a high quality piece. Nice glass pipes are my favorite.
26. Learn how to shop for clothes from women, but don't buy as much as them
27. White T-shirts, black socks, and underwear are the only clothes you really need. You can never have enough
28. If you wake up after 11, your morning is wasted
29. Keep your back straight and your chest out
30. Don't fight someone unless he blatantly deserves it
31. Never talk about video games or other nerdy things on a first date, even if she likes it
32. To avoid the friend zone, just accept the fact that you are a sexual creature. Sort your girl friends into "Want to bang" and "Want to be friends" and stick to it. Don't do "friendly" things with girls you want to bang, and don't hit on your friends. Most girls should be in the "Want to bang" catagory.
33. Learn to be a good Flirt, it is an essential life skill
34. Don't be afraid to flirt with guys a little, it will bring more trust into your relatioship
35. Accept that homosexuals are a part of life, theres nothing wrong with them
36. Play a sport regularly
37. Go to the Gym at least 30 mins a day 3 times a week, more often if you are trying to get buff
38. Learn how to tell when girls are lying (they do it a lot)
39. Women don't think like men; the best way to handle them is to do what you want and don't think about it too hard
40. Try to be the leader of whatever group you're in. You'll know when you are. Alpha is just a state of mind.
41. Its healthy to cry once in a while
42. Try to spend less than 4 hours a day on the computer
43. Limit your TV viewing
44. Just go ahead and pirate music (but not movies or games!), and support the artists you listen to the most. Its 2012, paying for music you havent heard yet is for chumps.
45. Communism doesn't work. Neither does capitalism,  at least not perfectly.
46. If you meet someone and like them, ask them for their number, guy or girl
47. Almost every guy has been rejected way more than he has scored
48. Don't talk about people's bad habits unless they are really interfering with you life
49. You will feel the urge to burn some bridges, DONT EVER DO IT
50. Religion is just a set of rules to live by, it becomes a problem when it alienates people who don't believe

54. Learn to give a good back massage
55. Visible Tatooes are for people who are prepared for the consequences

67. The size of your cock is not a big deal
69. Great foreplay makes for great sex
70. Make a list of things that you use every day, and fix them immediately when they break.
71. Replace your carpet at least every 10 years, generally carpets are rated for 5-8. Paint your interior walls and adjust your furniture every few years.
72. Doctors visit checkup every 6 months, dentist every 1.5 years and chiropracter every 2-5 years. Yes, i know they are expensive but its worth the price.
73. Have a list of activities to do before you hang out with friends
74. Some women (and Men) are just slutty but are not bad people, try to forgive them
75. Don't do hardcore drugs (coke, heroin or amphetamines)
77. Learn from other peoples mistakes
78. Just expect that she is lying about her orgasms and her attraction for only you. Don't base your relationship on those. If a girl says "You are perfect", she is lying.  No one is ever perfect.

Nice, but I'm not sure you had to go past #1.

[edit]
I really like #88.

Amazingly enough, I think I agree with almost all of them.  A couple of them I have to think about a bit more.

I wholeheartedly disagree with 2 and 59.

31 is situation dependent.

74 should apply to both genders. And there's really nothing wrong with anyone who sleeps around and is smart about it, as long as they don't ever imply to their partners that there's anything more there. The only thing immoral is not being honest with your partner, whatever type of partner that may be. And it's not immoral in a "your sould be damned" type immorality, but in a "at best you're poisoning the relationship in from a long term standpoint and at worst you're a jerk" standpoint.

Which leads me to 78. Lying doesn't work for a relationship. You should not assume she's lying. If you find out she is, however, you should seriously take a look at where the relationship is heading.
All right, I’ve been thinking, when life gives you lemons, don’t make lemonade! Make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don’t want your damn lemons! What am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life’s manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I’m the man whose gonna burn your house down – with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!

You see? We should scrap the Ten Commandments and have these 100 commandments instead.

Well most of them anyway...
I agree with 2, 15, 16 and as for 32?

... I LIVE in the friend zone...
The sun beyond the mountain glows
The yellow river seaward flows
You can enjoy a grander sight
By climbing to a greater height

I have run out of places to climb. I will abandon this body and take to the air. We will leave twin vapor trails in the air, white lines etched into these rocks. I am the aerial. In my passing, I will send news to each and every star.

I agree with 2 to an extent, and here's the soppy part; sex without love is hugely overrated but with genuine love it's the best experience in the world next to holding the children born of that love.

so the village gains one more senstive fucking flower :D

Reread 2,3,39,47 and 63

2 being so high on the list was inspired by a good friend, who is a sex addict. The other day he told me that "Sex is just sex, nothing more." and it really made me think.

My personal favorite is probably 26  ;D

*blink* um...I'm impressed KMD. Not so sure if you came up with all of this on your own, but I kind of like #54. You're pretty smart for someone so young.....or extremely crafty. I have one your age and you are capable of pulling a fast one. lol!

More advise for young folks.  A touch dated, but I think it still applies.

That's the way I've always seen it, I don't think it's worth the hassle chasing skirts your whole life for a 30 second experience... or was that just me?

My favourite rule (and it's NOT one of mine...) is: Beware the advice of successful people, they do not seek company.

that said: #1 is the one many SHOULD learn but most WONT want to, or be willing to.

30 seconds??? ROFLMAO! Exactly why I'm single! I can do it myself in 30  seconds why the hell would I want to be annoyed by someone constantly for a 30 second experience?? I can't stop laughing....
