Hi Guess What,
I like the “thanks pal” at the end. You see! It works. To have a friend you have to be a friend. You’re building camaraderie. You see, its easy! Keep up the good work.
Okay, well, for a young guy you don’t drink too much. Just make sure that you stop whenever you begin to see double. When you see double, don’t have another drink for at least an hour. If you want to go outr with friends and drink, space yourself with only one drink each hour, and that way you can last all night without getting overly blasted. What I used to hate when out drinking with the guys was ‘buying rounds’ because it tends to speed up the pace, so after only two hours everyone is already wasted enough to call it a night, but they’re only beginning. Its great to be an old man because old men don’t do that young men silly sh** (but if they do I say “phuque no! I’m not crazy enough to try to keep up with you old booze hounds”).
Oh, about bullies. What a lot of people don’t realize is that most bullies do not see themselves as bullies. They think they are just kidding around. A lot of times if you take their ‘bullying’ in stride then they think you are ‘man enough’ to be one of their friends. And ‘bullies’ are a lot like predatory animals in the sense that they chase which ever animal breaks from the herd and runs. So, never break from the herd and run when you see a bully. Avoidance behavior only attracts their attention. Again, never treat an enemy differently from how you would treat a ‘friend’… I mean a normal acquaintance. Heck, even greet them. Yes, you might think that they will think that you are only showing them respect because you are afraid of them… but if that is all they want, then give it to them, right? Remember, you just want to figure out how to make the World work best for your own happiness, and mostly that means making everyone else happy too. Win, Win. Everyone wins. Pleasing everybody is the best way of carrying out being selfish, and everybody loves a smile, so smile.
Oh, about women. I used to be a real hound dog when I was young. I had a lot of ex-girlfriends. The best thing there is to treat them just like a friend that you have known for a while. After all, you do know a lot about them, and they know a lot about you. BUT, you don’t refer to anything from the time you were running around, except perhaps in a knowing good-natured whisper when nobody else is listening. But never refer to anything that might have been unpleasant. That is what is known as being ‘civilized’ and ‘discrete’. You know, once it gets around that you are a ‘civilized’ and ‘discrete’ guy, it will be much easier to get a date… heck, chicks will ask you out.
Yes, everything I am telling you is new and different. It will take time to sink in. It might be months, or years, before what I am saying now will kick in and you understand. But you are still young. But, yes, get those books.
Oh, somebody else wrote in. I better see what he wants.
