Dress codes at work don't apply to women

The dress code at my job is business casual, which for men doesn't make much of a difference, because we are still expected to wear the same things sans a tie. It's still dress shirt and dress pants/slacks, and if you want to take a walk on the wild side, you'll wear a pair of khakis. That's about it. I really have no problem with this at all, it's a place of work and looking neat and professional is expected, but it seems that this only applies to guys. Women can literally wear whatever the hell they feel like. Sure, there is a dress code for women as well, but it isn't enforced, not in the least. To be fair, the female analysts do dress appropriately, but most women who work for the company aren't analysts, so they don't represent the norm.

Take today for example, I actually saw 3 women wearing flip flop sandals, the type you wear at the beach. This is almost routine when the weather gets warm, many young women seem to throw away their normal work shoes in favor of flip flops. Then there is the ultra tight, sleeveless shirts, the ones that when they bend over to pick something up shows off their tramp stamp tattoo. Sure, if I was a person with an axe to grind and wanted to start shit, I could bring it up to HR that most women don't adhere to the dress code, but one look at how the women at HR dress themselves, then you would know that it is an exercise in futility because they all dress like beach bums. I don't think any man would stroll into work with a pair of flip flops and a tank top and feel like they are appropriate for or belong in a corporate environment. Many women seem to think it's ok.

On another point, many of these women who dress innapropiately (i.e. wearing baby shirts etc) are always the first to complain about how cold it is in the office because of the air conditioning. How about putting on clothes that cover your body for starters if you don't want to freeze to death? I really don't get this. It's a very simple thing to rectify, just dress appropriately, but nope, they rather have the place be a sweltering hellhole because they want to wear skimpy outfits.

In other news, 5000 people are dead.

I was watching the news today and the lead topic they were discussing was Angelina Jolies baby, and after 5 minutes of nonsense talk, the newscaster actually said "And in other news, the deathtoll is now over 5000 after the earthquake in Indonesia." A year ago I would have been upset at this, I mean, I would hope 5000 people dying would take precedence over some actress having a baby, but i've come to expect this kind of crap. Most of the people who watch television are women, and empathy is a feeling that is foreign to most women, because it would mean that they would have to put themselves in another persons shoes. So our media caters to them(women) and their interests, namely celebrity gossip. Despicable.

The depreciating asset that is woman

If you're an active member on any MRA site, then you know that as a man, that we have time on our side. All the things we accrue as we get older (stability, responsibility, career, home, car, assets etc) are the things that make most women salivate, it is what they want. What men want in return isn't much, we simply want a woman who is a woman. A woman who is feminine, loyal and is there to complement him, not ridicule, bemoan or compete with him. Women have the most bargaining chips when they are younger, because that's when they look their best, but they squander it all by being promiscuous and having wanton lifestyles with badboys. By the time they come around or are completely used up, we aren't interested. We don't want what they are peddling. We've moved on. All they have to show for their wanton lifestyles at the least is a nasty reputation and at most is an STD or two and some illegitimate brats.

Time is the greatest equalizer I tell you. And you know what? I'm witnessing used up women earlier and earlier. I remember when I was reading the MRA sites for the first time when I was in college and saw stories of men in their 30's and 40's running into women that were once hot who looked like crap after a lifestyle of sleaziness. I can now say that I see what they are saying, except I see it in women in their mid to late 20's. Women I went to high school with. It's a pathetic site, yet reaffirming. It reaffirms that I made the right choices in life. It reaffirms that there is no affirmative action with time and nature. It reaffirms that with regards men, time is the greatest equalizer, I just never thought I would see it so soon.

I see so many of these girls I went to school with, pushing strollers with kids that look nothing alike, sometimes they don't even look like the same race. I guess that's what feminists mean by being "multicultural". You can tell they are hurting. I see them at the grocery store fiddling with their welfare debit card, you know that they have never stepped foot in a bank before because they can't work a simple debit card.

I saw a girl that I went to high school with yesterday, I always was a "friend" i.e. chump to her. She was a cheerleader and was one of the hot girls in school. She didn't even mess with high school guys back then. She was dating some older pothead guy. Last I remember of her was her at graduation. I saw her yesterday, and holy shit, talk about self destruction. She looked like she gained 80lbs. I didn't recognize her, she recognized me and called out my name. Asked me what I was up to, and what i'm doing, asked me where I work, where I live. I felt like I was being interrogated, but I answered her questions. I asked her about herself, she said she's taking some courses, but her answer floored me. She said she's taking some courses to in hairdressing and styling. I told her good for her, and she responds, "Yeah, I know, it's such a hard, competitive program, but I keep telling myself that I need to survive because my kids need support since their fathers ain't shit." That quote encompasses everything that MRA has been saying for years. First, the whole grandiose thinking and self importance, you're a damn hairstylist, not a rocket scientist for NASA, nothing is competitive or hard about giving someone a shampoo. She's 25, 26 at most and already has several illegitimate kids, I didn't ask how many, and she used the word 'fathers', as in plural, so there is more than one father. I told her that I needed to be going, and she said "maybe we should hang out or get together sometime." It was hard not laughing in her face, I mean here this woman is, at least 80lbs overweight, several kids with who knows what kind of badboy fathers and she wants to hang out with me, was that a joke? Never would she have wanted to hang out with me in High School or even be caught dead with me in any circumstance, so why now? I told her that I have no time, that i'm very busy with work. Fucking nerve these women have.

Some poor sod

""I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I do" is the longest sentence?” George Carlin

A poor sod at work is engaged to be getting married. His fiance is a Chinese-American girl. She might be Chinese ethnically, but she is 100% American, feminist garbage. They say love is blind, and this guy sure is blind. Her demands are ridiculous, but even more ridiculous is that he obliges and caves in. She gave him an ultimatum, that they had to get married this summer, or it was over. He agreed. She told him that it was Chinese tradition for the groom to give the brides parents a large sum of money for the honor of marrying their daughter. He agreed, even though she nor her parents are traditional Chinese folk. They are about as American as they come. Old traditions only come up when they benefit them I suppose. He bought her an engagement ring that she chose. He's helping pay her grad school tuition on top of all this. She doesn't like his friends, and doesn't want him socializing with them anymore. He's not allowed to have a bachelor party, because she says she's not going to have one either, but her friends are taking her out before the wedding to have a "good time" one last night before she gets hitched. Sounds like a bachelorette party to me.

The list is endless, but the guy is just a walking ATM, he's being trampled like a doormat, but for some reason he goes back for more. Everything is about her. Their relationship is focused on her demands and nothing else. Talking to him is an exercise in futility because he's smitten, but I don't understand him because he complains about her, but does nothing. He talks about his relationship, almost like a cry out for help, but when advice is offered he pays it no mind. We just ignore him or say nothing to him about it. He's either in deep denial, or he really is just that oblivious. Nevertheless, come June, after saying his nuptials, he will willingly throw away his life and become a slave to the matriachy, at the ripe old age of 26.

FDNY under attack

If you live in the NYC area, you know that they give out these 2 little free newspapers called "The Metro" and "AM New York". I read them in the morning on my commute to work since I get my Wall Street Journal and Financial Times subscription at the office. The hot topics in these papers as of late has been illegal immigration and the lack of women and minorities in the Fire Department of New York (FDNY). Let's talk about the FDNY and the so called lack of women and minorities.

One woman, who as she said, was taking the FDNY to task was demanding to know why in a city that is 62% female or minority, they account for less than 5% of all the registered Firefighters in NYC. This to her illustrates the racist and sexist hiring practices of the FDNY and she wants to expose them.

I have a problem with the reasoning of that woman. Her logic is seriously flawed. Just because 62% of the population is either a woman or a minority does not mean that automatically 62% of the FDNY will be women or minorities. First and foremost, we must look at the number of applicants that are women and minorities, and that number no doubt is small. I find it very hard to believe that the FDNY gets a sizable amount of female applicants. I have no idea about the number of minority applicants, but that too will most likely be smaller than white applicants, i'm sure of that. If we used that woman's logic, over half of the Engineers and IT departments should be female. BTW - Why don't they ever whine about the lack of female representation in Coal Mining, Crab Fishing, Construction, Landscaping, Roofing and Plumbing? I mean, they should be at least 50% female by that logic?

Now, most applicants, regardless of whether they are male or female won't be accepted into the FDNY because of the rigorous physical demands, and it should be that way. You want the elite to be hired, those capable of exceling under trying conditions. This would eliminate 99.9% of the female applicants, all 10 of them. But they aren't happy with that. Instead they want the FDNY to have different physical requirements for women. Odd, when a building is on fire and people need to be rescued, I wonder if the fires and lifeless bodies will take into account the different requirements for women and burn less intensely for them and will weigh less while lying motionless.

The other portion is the written exam, which i've seen copies of, and they aren't that hard, and with some preperation/studying, you should do well. Feminists and race hustlers say the tests are culturally biased, so that's why many minority applicants fail them. I always roll my eyes whenever I read something like this. The test consists of reading comprehension, memorization, problem solving, deductive reasoning, a little basic arithemethic and multiple choice style format questions skewed towards firefighting of course. If they don't know how to read, memorize things, solve problems or add numbers in your culture, then that says alot about the culture you come from. In fact, them saying that basic reading and math skills are culturally biased, thus minority applicants are not able to "get it" is an insult to minorities. They are insinuating that minorities are stupid, and quite frankly, the more minorities who continue to do poorly and believe this, makes their words painfully true. It becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Tell them that basic reading and comprehension for them is culturally biased against them enough times, and they will believe that nonsense. What about the minorities that did make it into the FDNY? Albeit a small number, but there are still there. Why were they immune to the cultural bias of reading at a high school level? No one ever talks about that. As a black male, this comes as little surprise to me about the poor scores of minorities on the exams, because if there's one thing not hip to be while growing up, it's a black guy that likes to read. Trust me, I bear the scars of ridicule.

The thing that bothers me about this is all, is that the remedy to the problem is never to better yourself or rise to the standards, it's always to lower the standards. Not enough women getting into the FDNY? Well, reduce the physical requirements for them. Not enough minorities in the FDNY? Well, it must be the culturally biased exams, let's make it easier. What is the point of requirements and standards in the first place, if we continue knock them down?

The Selfish Bachelor

A phenomenon i've been encountering since I broke up with my girlfriend some time ago is people trying to hook me up. People have this notion that if you are not in a relationship with a woman, then something is wrong with you and that you are not content. I hate to burst their bubble, but i'm pleased as punch, I honestly could care less. Nevertheless, people never get the fucking hint, even when you do more than drop hints, when you tell them flat out that you aren't interested, they ignore you anyway like your words are meaningless. It's always women who want to set me up on blind dates and hook me up with other people.

My Aunt is always trying to set me up on dates with girls from her church. True story, one of the girls that attends the church regularly is a stripper. Of course, all the old folks there don't know about her side job, but every guy in town has had her on his lap for $20. No thanks, I think i'll pass on that one. If it's one thing I know, church girls are always the worst of the litter. It's always sluts who think that somehow reading a bible will mask the life of whoring they had not long ago. Please.

Some female family friends and acquantances always have someone lined up for me. Where were these people with their offers when I was a broke college student? I guess I wasn't up to snuff then huh? I needed to have graduated and landed a good job before I was eligible. One thing about women is that they like to live their life like it's a script, like a damn book report. Go to high school, then college, party it up and fuck a bunch of bad boys, then when that is out of their system, they come looking for a nice guy with a career, translation me. The thing is that this attitude is universal with all women, if they aren't on the prowl themselves, then they are on the prowl for someone else. They always ask me about my lovelife and when i'm going to settle down. For fucks sake, i'm 25 yrs old, and even if I was 45yrs old, why should it matter to them when I settle down? Women always want to meddle in other peoples love affairs, which is why all their tabloids are about which celeb is fucking which celeb, who's dumping who, who's getting divorced etc. They have to get in your business all the time. I've yet to have a man try to set me up on a blind date or hook me up with anyone, it's always women.

My Aunt told me I was selfish because I don't want to share my life and wealth with someone else. I'm always respectful to my elders because that is how I was raised, but I felt like she had some fucking nerve to actually chastize me for doing what I want to do with my own life. I thought the decision to do anything with my life was mine and not hers. I told her that it was actually selfish to impose her own ideals on me and assume that I want what she wants. She told me that I should welcome the privilege to have a woman's company, and therein lies the problem. Our feminized society dictates that men are privileged to have a woman grace them with their presence. Why isn't the inverse true? I'm not arrogant, but I would think a woman would be privileged to have a decent man like me in her life, and the situation applies to all hard working, honest men. But it doesn't, and that's what sucks about westernized society. Men are too busy jumping through hoops to please women.

Look at the demands that most women make. They want a tall, dark and handsome man with a six figure salary, a mansion and the works. What the hell are the women bringing to the equation other than their twats? Pussy is not an endangered species and it can be gotten for a few bucks from the local escort if that's your thing, so seriously what do women bring to the equation that warrants their outrageous demands? I can't think of anything a westernized woman brings to the table for a man who is financially stable and has his head on his shoulders.

So does this mean i'm selfish? I honestly could give two shits if it means I am or i'm not, part of MGTOW is not giving a damn what some harpies think about you and your lifestyle. Fuck them!! The day their opinions mean an iota of shit to me, is the day I become a transexual. That day will never come as long as i'm alive. I'll just cut the people out of my life who continue to disrespect me and not respect my wishes to be left alone. I have no time for people who don't respect me and who continually think that I need their fucking romantic handouts.

Men need to live for themselves

"What's money? A man is a success if he gets up in the morning and goes to bed at night and in between does what he wants to do." Bob Dylan

The corporate world is pretty ambitious (For men at least). There is a sink or swim mindset, and I welcome that. It seperates the hardworkers from the lazy ones, and apart from personal satisfaction for giving it your all, there are rewards for your labor, you'll get paid more money. That's the incentive, that's the carrot on the stick dangled in front of every man who wants upward mobility. If you are driven and this is what you want to do for yourself, then yes, by all means go for it.

Sadly though, I find that a significant number of men slaving away are not doing it for themselves, but they are doing it because of their nagging wives. They had to move into the suburbs, buy a house with a white picket fence that was way beyond what he could afford. He had to buy the gas guzzling minivan and SUV. Then come the kids. She wants them to go the the fancy private schools, away from the inner city riff-raff (most likely the offspring of the badboys she used to fuck when she was younger). Then it's ballet and dance recitals, little league baseball and football, and then you have to start putting money away for their college education. From marriage until death, he will always be making payments of some sort. A sad existance indeed. That is no way to live life.

Friday conversations at the office is kind of sad, because you can tell that the married guys kind of live vicariously through the single ones and their stories. Their weekend is always the same, they do "family stuff" which translates to what their wives want to do. Compromise to a woman is always what she wants to do. On Monday morning, they always ask "So, what did you do this weekend?" The beauty of being a bachelor is that my life is not a script. I do anything I damn well feel like doing, when I want to do it and I have to answer to no one at all. I was talking with another guy about the RPG game Oblivion and how great it was, and we were talking about how many hours of our lives it sucked away, and this married guy who is now a sad shell of a man says "Wow, it sounds really nice, but the wife doesn't allow me to play videogames." This is a grown man folks. I honestly felt ashamed for him, what an embarassment.

So thank you Bob Dylan, you couldn't be more correct, a man is only successful when he does what he wants to do. Sadly many married men will forever have a puppeteer pulling their strings.
