Thread: My personal view on older men simping.

If you have spark plugs that are a pain in the ass to get to. I had a Lexus that to get to the back three spark plugs, you had to take the intake manifold plenum completely off. So for any car like that I use Iridium spark plugs. They cost more, but they last forever.

Platinum spark plugs last 300,000 miles.

Iridium spark plugs you take out @ 300,000 miles and use them in your next car!

That's the way it is with my S-Type. I wish that I had ordered them with this tune-up. I need a "star" removal tool to access the coil packs and plugs on the XJ6 L. (I'm going to try to pick one up today). All I need is a proper wrench to remove the retaining bolts/screws on the coil packs and I'm "good to go".

He cheated on Mom a couple times in the past even. So when I said some Boomers had to have a woman, my Dad was included in that. He could cook and take care of himself, he just had to have female attention.

Welcome to the board and I appreciate your perspective, as it is similar to the happenings in my little bubble of society.

My paternal Grandparents are still kicking at 84 and 85. They are completely dumbfounded with my lack of interest in the things that they consider traditional and civilized. It’s an interesting dynamic and I’ve tried to plead my case many times on why I won’t go to college, buy a house, or take a wife…Grandma pities me and calls tells me I’m lost. hahaha yeah right…I’m just FREE and she can’t comprehend that…

Years ago, my gut was telling me something wasn’t right about my then fiancée, so I consulted my elders, thinking maybe I WAS lost. The issue was, the fiancée was spending more time communicating with her “guy” friends, than she would me. The advice was to accept the situation as it was “fine” for her to have lunch with another guy, while I was trapped at her house watching her kids…My Lord was I a simp…

I was enlightened though. Their way of scooting through life worked for them. They did what they did as those were the paths for their time. College, marriage, career, children, retirement…A noble path, in a simpler time…I’m proud to call them my Grandparents, because they achieved the American Dream and they wanted the same for their children and grandchildren…If only the same rules applied…

My parents’ generation started out on easy street when they married, so it seemed like the right thing to do and everyone else was doing it. Again, much simpler times compared to today, unless you are wealthy or connected. Shit really started going sideways the more television viewership grew, in my opinion. The talk shows, soap operas, drama, drama, and more realistic fake drama began leaching into peoples lives. Materialism and keeping up with Jones’s went to another level, consumerism replaced devout religious discipline, and it becomes easier and easier to enslave yourself in debt, or make a big life decision that potentially hinders the happiness you can achieve later in life…

My parents divorced in the late nineties. At 17, they came to visit me in county jail to tell me that, and that the family dog was being put down, a week before Christmas…I didn’t care much about the divorce, I was really sad about my dog but, I noticed how it all impacted my younger brothers. That was, and 25 years later, still is a thing that torments me…

Mom, bought into the whole it’s a big world, there’s plenty of fish, I’m forever young, and happy endings are real cuz Disney n HBO told me so…Then, the trials and tribulations began. It wasn’t pretty, and her new husband must be cursed by his own mantra of “happy wife, happy life”…

Dad went out, tagged some strange, got remarried, had that implode n about lost his pension, went on a bender, tagged more strange, then moved in a three time milf…She pressed for marriage but wouldn’t press for child support, so my pops took care of all of them, until the last one signed up for college, then POOF, like clockwork, she went splitsville…I see the progress he’s making, I drop red pills, and it helps that most of his friends are now single as well…

Now, both he and I are the only ones of the family not married. And, we get shit from everybody for it. All of them are visibly miserable and they want to be less miserable by knowing we are miserable too? Fuck that noise! Dad’s about to retire in couple years and he goes out on his Harley toying with strange like I do, we just can’t go together hahaha because of the generational gap, not yet anyways…His parents are visibly dismayed at our blatant heathenism and my brothers are sucking in their guts, jumping through hoops, and holding the bosses purse, while their “better half” is spending their money…But, they are trapped in the “It’s cheaper to keep her” zone…

I have tried to enlighten them, lightly, they’re their own men. They are my brothers and no matter what, I will stand beside them over their respective mates…No matter WHAT is unleashed on them, and no matter how lost they think I am because I chose a simpler path in this complex and fucked up world…If I say anything more, I could be indicted hahaha

I finally got the coil packs off the XJ6 L, but I need a long, thin, deep spark plug socket to remove/replace the plugs. After that, it is a 7 minute job to button it up.

I had the wrong spark plugs! I have the right ones (NGK) and will have it running (somewhat) until I can buy a set of new coil packs.

My new coil packs will be delivered by the 8th of July. *sigh* The wait continues...

...
I now work in these corporate environments and i see this on a daily basis. These men are insulted by my mere existence.

Why the hell did you change??? Is "70-100K a year" not enough to a single men???

I am doing the opposite. I am forgetting that I have a degree in economics and start to work with construction.

I hope that you know that ever body in "corporate environments" HATES you. You don´t have friends, you don´t have allies and if the boss don´t like you, then no matter how great you are using the excel and mathematics, they will fire you.

Obsessed with women, female nature, pussy, whatever it is. I don't think it matters generationally either; Gen Z guys do tend to drift towards more of the extremes (a lot of hating women memes on one end and absolute grovelling for a crumb of punani on the other, though I wonder if the former is just a front...) but they've seen female nature completely exposed on social media and still act like there are good girls out there. I don't get it. Let them find out the hard way, I'm done trying to educate.

I am not gay but I find majority of women ugly and some very, pathetic, ridiculous ugly. I am not Brad Pitt but my looks are above average, then I will not even speak with ugly women who treat me bad and there are many women who are ugly and feel entitle to treat men as inferior beings when it´s the opposite.

Also I am smart enough to know that if marriage fail with Brad Pitt, John Deep and so many "Alpha Males", then who the F* I am to think it will work with me.

Women have been taught all their lives that they are special. Men are taught all of our lives that women are special and we need to impress them.

The truth is women don't love. They monkey branch. Women give conditional love which is not love and it's discriminatory. Notice how women act when they get rejected and/or don't get their way. Other people will even jump in to defend them.

It's all about how she feels. If she FEELS she can do better then she will monkey branch. A relationship with a woman is nothing but work, shit tests, and drama. Relationships with women are like DUI sobriety tests. They are designed to make you fail and look stupid.
