I talked to some guys who use to go out in the late 80's and early 90's; they said back then men and women had to pay and wait in line.All_That_Is_Man wrote:I'll drink to this.Jester wrote:I always try to remember the Judo/Aikido. If they want to push a certain way, then let them - don't fight them - and in fact, even assist them, with a "boost" - as you lift them up and flip them down.
They want to make it expensive and hard and scary for you to go out, with roadblocks, arrest, towing, fines, loss of license, "schools", criminal record.... So you went them one further, by just deciding not to go out at all.
Good for you.
I think your plan will work if you reward yourself with visible progress toward a trip abroad. (Like cash saved in a jar, passport, scheduled vacation, travel posters on the wall, plane reservations, etc.)
Since men gain no benefit from "going out" here in the west, then the powers that be are gonna lose a hell of a lot of money if we stop going out! Especially since their patrons will now only be women who expect free admission and free drinks. f**k 'em. I'll stay at home building my business on my laptop and making money every single day!
They said as the economy tanked, clubs started letting all the girls in free because they knew the men would follow. As a matter of fact, I use to work in sales and we were told as long as we marketed to women and/or children, the men would be not to far behind with their open wallets.
