WOMEN
I think there are 2 types of Straight men. The first are the ones who act as if they don't want girls in their lives because they think βsingle lifeβ is the best way of living. The other, are those who have multiple women in their lives, who believe that polygamous relationship would make them feel good in front of their friends, these kind of boys make a very small percentage of the male population and unfortunately most of the girls fall for them.
IMO both are not ways of living a robust life. The first kind is counter-omniscient, the later is omniscient. The first one would have tried impressing few girls but stopped because of rejections that hurt their egos and stopped trying. The later keeps juggling with many girls and knows what they want.
Men!! find a girl that you like, most of the girls want to have a committed relationship. Remember women are hypergamous; they want partners who are better in social status than themselves. Make sure you earn her. Playboys need to stop playing and choose that girl who would make your life better, use your time and energy for productivity and growth.
RISK
Evolution is so much in sync with risk taking when it comes to men, thanks to testosterone. People who have taken risks achieve than the ones who don't. You can take any innovation from discovering fire to flying planes, it was all possible when men took risks. Even the big personalities in business, politics and movies of our time also have taken calculated risk in their lives and succeeded. Failures are also a part of risk taking, but learn from them and bounce back.
William von Hippel talks about Sins of commission and sins of omission. Visa-a-Vis taking risks, sins of commission makes you do things that you are afraid of, deliberately, even though you know it would cause harm but you do it any way. This actually helps you discover yourself and in situation of stress it will mold you to be a better person and minimize regrets in your long term life.
Sins of omission are the deeds that are omitted because it was too risky and when you look back you regret that felt should have taken actions and by doing so, in present, would have felt better.
So think again: Do you want regret or self satisfaction?
Quick tip: Men with high risk taking capacity have increased levels of natural testosterone which attracts a lot of women.
PROCLIVITY
I think every man should have an inclination towards certain side kicks which doesn't affect daily productivity. These side kicks are something he should be passionate about.
I have been very passionate about Blended Scotch Whisky, I like to know where my whisky is brewed, what and how many casks its been aged. The flavors of BSW is a fine mixture of woody & fruitiness which suits my pallet perfectly. I like Single Malt (which are quite expensive) as well but not like the BSW.
The other side kick I have is Fitness and Quality natural diet (boost all kinds of performance). I have been a fitness enthusiast since 2008 and I love the gym like my home, love to run marathons, long distance cycling and many more. This also helps me improve daily performance.
I also like men who dress uniquely and have a personalized way of cloaking. It shouldn't be the same old formals(dark trousers with light colored shirt) or denim trousers with casual shirts, I find them quite ubiquitous. I personally like Khadi and Linen shirts which are stitched according to my body size. The material is very light and looks significant. Khadi and Linen go very well with Denim trousers and boots.
So how do you see these principles. Do you think they hold their position. Let me know your feedback. I'm always open to discussions.
