Some Very Wise Words From a Very Wise Man

[patton]

“Ladies, let me give you some advice. You can throw all your stupid fucking chick-lit, self-help, why-doesn’t-he-love-me books out, because this is all you need to know: Men will treat you the way you let them. There is no such thing as “deserving” respect; you get what you demand from people. Let a guy fuck you in the ass, come on your back, drink all your beer and then leave, and he’ll do it. But if you demand respect, he will either respect you or he won’t associate with you. It really is that simple.”

-- Tucker Max

He's trying to be provocative, and he's trying to be funny and original -- but I think there's a great degree of truth in what he's saying. The outcome of our relationships with other people (and this can be extended far beyond those between men and women) is largely determined by what we take out of that relationship, not what the other person gives us.

That isn't true at all.

It's complete truth and it goes the same way for anybody. If you don't like something, there is always another option.

In your world of assholes. People will catch on to you faster if you announce it. You'll have friends and acquaintances that feel the same way, and then you can welcome yourself to a world of your ill-conceived design. Have fun.. but I'm sure it all tastes vaguely of shit in the company of assholes. See what I did thar?!?!?!?

Seriously though, we'll all feel however we do until further notice, and you'll be rewarded by it or otherwise.
