Am I the only one sick and tired of guys who have to be "hard" all the damn time? When they walk, when they talk, when they chat on yahoo, when they chat on myspace, etc.

Just no matter where they go, they have something to prove. They're in the line at the grocery store with a damn attitude.

Not just regular guys either, I'm talking about the "rappers" too. With the same repeat lame ass videos where they're somewhere acting tough with naked girls prancing around.

*sigh*

I'm sure i'm not the only one who's ready for this "I'm a thug" fad to pass.

Yeah, I can't wait for the "I'm a pussy" fad to take over.

Rap is all about bragging. That's the nature of it. But I agree it gets annoying.
 
I don't mean that I want the men running around whining like little girls or anything but at the same time, all this over pretending is nuts.

When more than likely, all these guys "acting" hard are punks anyway.

I think it takes a real man to admit "Yeah, I'm a little scared right now" as opposed to a guy saying "Man, fuck this, I ain't scared" etc and then he gets his ass kicked or something.

Or like the guys who pick on random guys they don't know just for the hell of it. What's the point? And they're only tough because they have like 6 other people with them. :mad:

It's annoying.
 
Yeah it's annoying as hell. I like people who are kind and don't act like they have some mental disease or like they're parents were having gay sex with them when they were young so they have to play tough guys now. Men have to be tough and have attitude only in life or honor treatening situations in my opinion. It pissess me off when I see a guy thinking he's cool because he doesn't smile and speak like a "gangster" all the time. Like I said, I like nice and kind people so those "rockie" type people are just funny in my eyes. And yes, I think 99% of them is just pretending to hide they're weaknesses. But of course I have respect to real people who are just like that because of they're character. But I know few people who were really unlucky in they're lifes, gone thru a lot of bad situations and they still act like normal people should. They don't act hard like cocks
 
I know what your saying Syn, myself personally I am not a confrontational person, I don't let little things bother me. At the same time too females are part of the blame for this, not all but a shit load with that "I want a thug" crap. I have never understood why if you treat a woman like shit, she will stay with you till the end of time, treat her like a princess an she's off fuck'n your "thuggish friend". Not saying all females are like that but theres a ton that are.

You wanna thug, go to your local prison theres tons of em there who haven't seen cooch in grip I'm sure one of em will gladly take you and I'm sure when parole time comes around you'll have such a wonderful life together! Like i said not all females but quiet a few have this mentality, an no Syn I don't link you in with them either, just my lil rant! I feel what your saying though
 
I'm not sick of it, I'm used to it but everyone has to be hard sometimes..not pretend to be hard..but the better word is probably to be more "firm"
 
Yeah I feel you, I can guarantee i'll rip your flesh apart if you try and say... harm an innocent... but it's gonna take alot to get me angry because alot of stuff are just not worth it.
 
I cant really agree that all the guys that act hard are mostly pussy. I know for a fact that the cats that chill around here where i live will fuck you up 4real if you come talking some dumb shit. Basically if you just mind ya biz everything will be all good.

In my experience the quiet guys are usually the one's who'll fuck you up a lot quicker than the loud mouth know it all types. Not saying that some guys who talk shit aren't hard, just in general.

You need to find some better females to surround yourself with. That right there is such HS behavior. The whole "I want a thug" attitude. Whatever, I'm straight on thugs, lol.

Furthermore, no lady wants a punk, i don't think. You want to feel safe and protected when you're with your man for the most part. But these guys who walk around acting like they don't have any other feelings outside of anger just aren't real and I hate fake ass niggas. That shit irritates me more than anything.

i have to strongly disagree. like Fataldawg, i know it's not all women, but almost every woman i have met or have been friends with say they want a nice guy who will treat them right, but then they go out with drug dealers and assholes, these "thugs" you're talking about. it may be HS bullshit as you say, but it sure seems that a lot of these females do want a punk. the funny thing is that they go out with these guys, and then they wonder why they are treated like crap.

anyway that is all beside the point. i have never really understood the purpose of acting hard or tough for no reason, and it almost always is to hide their own insecurities and nothing more. it would be nice if that fad passed, but the problem is that it isn't a fad, things have been like this for a long time now, and i don't expect them to change anytime soon.

If you ever get a chance, read some articles on "Just War Theory". One of the requirements to go to war (or in our case, have to resort to violence to protect yourself and your girlfriend) is for it to be a last resort.

I would surely defend my own because I view that as a just cause but only if its a last resort. It's not as easy as pushing a button and defending yourself. Alot can go wrong, you can kill the person you're defending yourself against... you can get hurt in the process and get seriously hurt. In some countries like mine, it's illegal to kill even in self defense (talk about a screwed up law). What if it wasn't a last resort?

I'm just saying, if you can resolve a conflict with words why do you need to resort to violence?

Anyway, in my major - you're taught to appreciate life, to understand conflict and understand the reasons behind it - you're taught to prolong life and attempt to heal rather than destroy.

In the end, i'll cut your throat with your own femur bone if you try and threaten my own... but if I don't need to do that, then I won't..

I agree with all that you said but notice that these women are usually, if not always, the women with insecurities. It's really a deep rooted conflict in the psyche. They knowingly enter a relationship like this expecting to get hurt, scratch that... they are HOPING to get hurt because... here's the million dollar ANSWER... they have little no self esteem. They have little to no self worth. They do not feel they are deserving of a good man, so they always some how... *magically* stumble upon men that treat them like crap because they feel they are not worthy of a good man.

I strongly disagree with what Syn said about all women wanting what she wants... the females I surround my self with, would never put up with that shit.
 
well i know you're right Tru, but when women say things like what Syn said, that no woman really wants a guy like that, it makes me think about every time i go downtown and i see drug dealers on damn near every corner. and do you know what else i see? every one of these guys have at least 3-4 females hanging around them and hanging off them. i know it's usually a self esteem issue, but it just seems like so many women are like this nowadays.
 
It's all fad. The older mature women don't want a 'thug'. It's the younger/naive women who watch BET all day are all into the whole thuggish thing. Keep in mind, at one point in the 17th-18th century, romanticism was the cream of the crop. If you were a poet, writer or philosopher you were known as the 'wanted' man. Now if your hard, thuggish and rebellious, your the most desired.

That's how I see it.
 
i have to disagree there again, for the most part. the idea of women wanting a bad boy type is not a fad and it is certainly not a new thing. it has been happening for ages and it will continue to happen. you're rigght that a lot of older and more mature women don't go for that game, but that is usually because they have been through their share of guys like that already. again i must state that i know not all females are like this, but at least in this day and age it seems like that's the majority (even tho i know its not)

Yeah it's true but that's probably indicative of a HARSH reality. Alot of WOMEN are actually suffering from self esteem issues.

What a shame... man, shit... you've probably been there before, met the "perfect" girl but since she's been so abused in her past... she only knows that and keeps running to those assholes.
 
I was gonna use a sex joke but Jokey beat me to it.

But, yeah, move away from urban and black areas and you'll find guys who don't act hard.

Yeah, I said it.
