I say "submission" - not that I like being submitted or that I am a submissive person but because, based on the personal feedback I got, there are a few out there that would like to put me in an arm bar or rear naked choke (Ooh Baby Please!) and ignore the tap out.
So there's that.
But - just to keep the Santa Fe fires burning, here's a link to what I personally consider one of the best and funniest posts ever written here on the Discovery network:
http://willsonwheels.blogspot.com/2019/08/some-tips-for-santa-fe-women-from.html
Obviously, once you put something out there like this, you do get some dialog, feedback and perspective from others / readers that you may not or probably didn't consider when you put it out there.
Which - Hello - is the whole purpose of this sort of dialog.
So here's an additional list of considerations, new learnings, qualifiers and maybe even mea culpas associated with that post and the post to come:
- One thing I didn't make clear, or at least specify, was that my observations aka "criticisms" or as one lady friend put it - "judgment" of Santa Fe women - was written from the perspective of a 57-year old "Rogue Wave" moving counter current to an Ocean of "like-aged" but not like-minded local women. What that means is I was poking good fun at the hornet's nest of women in the 50 - 70 year old range in Santa Fe NM, which, for the most part and for a lot of reasons that will not be detailed in this post, is my population of attention / interest. So, for example, #7, would not apply to the majority of those fiercely gorgeous younger generation. I mean - come on folks - y'all are smart enough to figure this shit out - aren't ya?
- My cutting sarcasm, criticisms and humor at the expense of this population could be considered and, in retrospect, was a pretty good "public service announcement". Let me explain. I find it really interesting that a couple of women that I do have respect for and that I think have respect for me and my opinion, used this "Critic's Best Choice" list as their own personal checklist. That is, they kinda did a self-inventory to see how many shots hit the target. Which is kind of a circular logic thing - cause the ladies I would be interested in - would be the ones that met the least number of these criteria - right?
- And to be honest and straightforward - which I am to a fault - which we will talk about later - my faults - the majority of men my age out there would probably be more attracted to a women of like age that personified, represented and displayed the antithesis of most of these 18 Articles of Women's Confederation.
- So the real question becomes - for those Women or Men out there that were grossly offended by my listed opines is - do the means justify the end? Stated another way - what do you really want? Independence with these listed attitudes and attributes or a Softer Presentation that might solicit more favorable response from the Male Population? Food for thought - that's all. I mean - I get it - I am what I am - and I ain't changing for nobody - well that's not really true - I would clean up my act for the right lady - but that's another story.
- Finally - I have no right to judge anybody - obviously. I am a broken record - a frustrated soul shouting from the top of a mountain into an unlistening void. The post in question was written and related with the complete understanding that I could list as many or more faults of myself in the eyes of Santa Fe women. It was bad humor at best, but a maze bright self aware person will understand that in all humor there is some element of Truth.
So - with that introduction - let's do a little destructively critical list of observations and attributes for Discovery for the sake of Discovery and his readers:
- I have a bad temper. I have been described as a "hot head" - an overly opinionated and overly expressive, critical, judgmental person with a pension for the dramatic and the hyperbolized. I get my opinions and ways challenged and overreact for a lot of different reasons. I have recognized this bad actor on life's stage through many plays and presentations and have worked diligently to retire his career - and thought I had made some progress over the years - until recent events have convinced me otherwise. 99% of the population can't deal with this characteristic in a person and I respect that - I don't like that part of me either.
- I am a vain, narcissistic, exhibitionist, attention-seeking MFer. I like to look good and more importantly, like it when other people think I look good. Always been that way - Always will be that way. Get the fuck over it or get away from me - either way - don't matter to me.
- I am selfish of my own time, energy, effort and money - I've spent my whole life, prior to about 6 - 8 years ago servicing, sacrificing for and taking care of other people - to the detriment and demise of my own body, mind and spirit. Now - and for the rest of my life - is my time and I'm taking it.
- I am #1, a Force of One and a Fierce Individualist - I have my own ways of doing things - which through years and years of failures, foibles and fallibilities - has formed a Philosophy and Practice of Life and all its Manipulations, Masturbations and Machinations - that I consider superior to 95% of the lives being lived out there. I go into every day with my eyes and mind wide open looking for ways to improve from the World around me and the People I encounter - I look for people doing things better than me and living a better life than me - in the ways and characteristics I place priority on. The problem is that, very rarely, do I find those superior Life Hackers.
- I am an Extremist in nearly every aspect of life - how I sleep, how I cook, how I eat, how I workout, how I think, how I write, how I express myself verbally, how I recreate and how I work. I am not a 2%-er. I am a 0.02%-er. I have never been Mainstream or Conventional or Socially Acceptable. I challenge Conventional Wisdom and am almost always for the Underdog and find "Crowd Mentality" distasteful, disgusting and dumb ass 95% of the time.
Now - with all that Bad Discovery Press in hard ink, let's throw a little Good Discovery your way:
- When I'm on your side, you have the most loyal, caring, giving, selfless SOB I know. I will bend over backwards, give you the shirt off my back, climb the tallest mountains and leap over tall buildings for you. When I got your back, you'll get the best back rub you ever had (if you're a woman) and you'll get all that bad shit listed above going for you. Which is kind of a scary thought or perspective if you're on the outside looking into that cage.
- I ain't the Sharpest Knife in the Drawer or the Smartest Guy in the Class, but as the saying goes for the last one - it don't take long to call roll. And I've been doing a lot of shit for a long time and I put a premium on application and practice of theoretical knowledge over philosophizing about quantum physics and the nature of life and such. In others words, I'm a fucking do'er, so if you want someone that gets shit done - you're talking to the right guy. If you want someone to talk about it or nurture or comfort you - then talk to somebody else.
- I got one of the most badass bodies and minds of any 57 year old I know - think about riding that horse and where it will take you.
That's enough Discovery conviction and bullshit for one post.
Let's move on to the real Meat of this Mind Matter.
Let's take the Discovery perspective of the Men in Santa Fe and throw a few darts at that board!
And surprisingly - or maybe not so - I'm pretty much gonna use the same list for the Santa Fe Men as I did the Santa Fe women - with a few twists - so here goes - here's my Tips for Santa Fe Men from a Country Boy from Texas!
- I'm not gonna make too big a deal about the Masculine version of the "Natural Look" in Santa Fe because I think it's a little more Natural "looking" for a Guy to do the Natural thing than a woman however I will expand on this as the list progresses.
- Ok - Santa Fe men in the 50 - 70 year range - listen up - I don't expect you to put on make-up but holy shit - trim those fucking eyebrows, nose hairs, ear hairs and all the other extraneous hair you got growing out of all the orifices of your body. Nothing disgusts me more than to see some 3" hair growing out of some old dude's head in some location where there shouldn't be a 3" hair. Have some goddamn respect for yourself and for the rest of us worthless souls that call ourselves men - and buy a Wahl trimmer or a new razor or something and get the fuck after the Weedeating!
- Yes - do something with your hair - if you have any - if you don't have hair, do the Kojak thing - women seem to love a bald head - Hmmm. If you have hair count yourself lucky and get it styled and yes - maybe even colored. Your stock will go way up in the eyes of most Santa Fe women that have a decent account.
- Don't eat something! Jesus - lose the carb gut you got hanging over your belt by saying no to the grains, bread, pasta, potatoes, high sugar fruits and all the other shit processed food that is sabotaging your older body. You'll feel better, look better and regain some of that youthful look and energy and probably get laid in the process.
- Yep - work out a little bit applies to you too Dude. What's Good for the Gander is Good for the Goose and will likely get you more Gander! There is growing and mounting evidence, scientific, medical and physiological studies that have been done recently that confirm that sarcopenia - https://www.webmd.com/healthy-aging/guide/sarcopenia-with-aging#1 - can be reversed with the proper combination of a low bad carb - high good fat - moderate protein eating plan coupled with intermittent fasting and HIIT - High Intensity Interval Training. So quit your bitching and get at it.
- That new body and new face and new hair style is gonna need some new clothes to keep the positive vibes going and complete the presentation. So don't hesitate to trade down a few years in style - i.e. wear some younger looking clothes to fit / finish the new you.
- Wear a Bra - Please! OR do some push-ups or better yet - as listed above - cut the carbs and the body fat level. That's really the secret to lifting those sagging man boobs. I'm amazed when older guys at the gym ask me what exercises to do to get that undercut and lift of the chest and you know what I tell them...... Push away from the Table!
- You don't have to be a Coppertone baby, but again, a well managed and measured exposure to the incredible benefits of Vitamin D from its best natural source - the Sun - will do more for you than all the supplements you can shove down your throat. Combine that with a high intake of cruciferous vegetables - which are high in sulfurophane - a natural cancer-fighting agent and you'll reverse any past skin cell damage done by the sun and set yourself up for that appealing healthy skin look. Google all this shit and you'll see what I'm talking about.
- Smile and Act Happy - and put your best foot and smile forward in all interactions with Women, Men and Beasts. You would be amazed at the reaction random people have when you flash them a genuine ear to ear smile from the heart. Invariably, most smile back at you and that's a pretty good start for anything to come.
- Ok - I don't have one for the "Don't Smile So Much" for Men because frankly, I have rarely seen that in Men, compared to Women. So - if you're an older man - go back to #9 and smile more.
- Cook a Meal for a Woman - Holy Good Will Hunting Batman - this may be the single most important thing you can do to be attractive to the Opposite side of the Gender Race or the same side of the Gender Race - if you are so inclined. And for Pete's sake or Patricia's sake - find out what the other Party likes to eat and doesn't like to eat and generate your menu and home dinner table offerings based on that.
- Do I really need to say that talking about Politics and how bad this Country is is a Universal No-No? Now if that's your baily-wick and you can find a like minded Woman in Santa Fe to participate - which is a 100% probability - then get after it. Running this Coon up the Discovery Tree and barking at it is something that is a waste of time for This Ole Coon whether you're a man or a woman.
- There are 3 kinds of people in the World: 1) Those that Know that they Know. 2) Those that Don't Know that they Don't Know. 3) Those that Know that they Don't Know. Seek to be #3 in most things and you'll end up a lot better off especially with the women.
- Geez - you wouldn't believe how many older guys I see stumbling around in the local bars / restaurants stoned out of their minds. They can't even put a fucking sentence together. On the other hand or joint, they're probably getting more women than I am so who the fuck am I to criticize? Oh yeah - I'm the one with the blog writing this shit. Anyway - I actually think that in Santa Fe, if you're a man with a bag of weed, you probably will attract a lot more women than a man without a bag of weed. Is that a good thing? I don't know.
- Guys don't seem to have the same hang-up with Dogs as women do and in all honesty I would be better off with a dog. But it would be a bad ass dog not some little heel nipper. One thing I will tell you is there is no chick magnet like a guy with a dog. So guys - if you don't have a dog, get one I guess.
- Ok - do as I say do not as I do on the structured dancing thing. Probably one of the top 3 things you can do to draw more feminine attention is to be good at 2-step or swing or salsa in Santa Fe so if you don't know how - reverse that field on the dance floor.
- Quit worrying about women taking advantage of you or being a financial burden to you and your fixed income - shit or get off the pot - in other words, either commit to upping the monthly budget for a woman and what it takes to entertain one with wine, dinner and song or just don't go there. But don't half ass it with this "going Dutch" shit or I pay one you pay one bullshit. Where I come from - if you ask someone out - you pay. Period.
- Try acting like a Man instead of a Woman - Holy Shit - this goes more for the Men than the Women in Santa Fe. I've never seen so many Pussy-Packing Men in my life. Be a leader, Be a Gentleman, Be a Servant to Women (yeah you heard me say that!) - open the fucking door, pull out the chair, help them on and off with their coat, tell them how good they look, ask them if they want something to drink, let them order first, go down on them even if they don't go down on you - Guys - we know what most women want - they want to be treated like a Queen - they want you to be their Knight in Shining Armour - so Man the Fuck Up and Start Shining!
Wooooo.... I am pumped - can you tell!!!
I have stomped on everybody including myself - Discovery is an Equal Opportunity Offender.
Hey - seriously Santa Fe - you know I love ya!
So sit back and read this shit and laugh or get mad or get happy - you know me - it don't matter.
It's just another post of sublime and opine...
In the Wacky World of -
Discovery.
