Is High Technology Making us Lazy? By Mel

 
Today’s society is so dependent on high technology.  We are a fast-driven, impatient society with a ‘quick second I want it right now’ way of thinking.  Just think about, the microwave for example fits in this category from the moment you pop in your meal as you wait until it finish heating up your process mash potatoes in your kitchen to the very last second.  You think to yourself “hurry up microwave; I cannot miss the super bowl and I need my mash potatoes now!”   Back then, cooking was more of a learning experience, putting certain ingredients together to give you that awe inspiring taste.  Need to say it also makes a man more attractive to have this on his resume.  A woman wants all their feelings intertwine with sight if you have a neat place, hear if you have great music to listen to, touch where you hold hands and smell nice cologne match with a nice cook meal for the evening.  Plus cooking took patience which allows you to build an even stronger emotional connection with her providing you with extra brownie points.   Then we have smart phones excuse me, dumb phones because it does not allow individuals to think.  For Christ sakes it auto corrects your mistakes if it disagrees with your grammar.  There is no emotional connection with texting and also messages can be misconstrued.  By someone’s voice you can tell if they have a bad attitude, confident, sad, happy but today’s standard of communication is mostly replaced with 140 characters with no creative insights.  Growing up my generation did not have access to the internet versus today where now computers are available through every grade level.  Kids are maturing at a much faster rate due to overexposure of information.  The advantage is that they can digest knowledge at a very rapid rate to prepare them for the outside world.  The disadvantage is sexual content is now available in which some kids imitate the behaviors off of graphic shows seen as acceptable in today’s society.  This is a double edge sword in because strong parents must monitor sexual content on high tech devices.  Innovation can also change the way you view content.  I read this one article on a French tech start-up company boasting a bracelet which will project a touchscreen on your wrist along with 3 dimensional glasses.  Why?  To see what the weather is going to be like in 3D?  Another article reported from Newsweek’s own Catherine Ostler proclaims a miracle pill which can remove fat stating, “A pill that can trick the brain into feeling full by elevating satiety hormones and thus sending it false messages from the gut, only feeling full will stop us from eating, and if we can medically induce that, then we will have slayed the obesity dragon.”  What happen to self-discipline by going to the gym by burning those extra calories and pushing ourselves to the limit to reach our goals?  Wouldn’t that be more satisfying instead of taking a shortcut?  What happen to learning how to cook instead of popping hot pockets in the microwave accepting this snack as our dinner?  What happen to calling someone to hear their voice and having an intellectual conversation instead of texting someone without any emotional impact? High technology can benefit us as a collective unit but some individuals are abusing it to the point that they cannot survive without it or they are becoming too damn lazy.

Don't Thirst Your Way Into The Rejected Pile By Mel

Men, you have the power to change.  Your standard of living and philosophical mindset based on thirsty behavior is not setting a good example.  Classy women will throw you automatically into the rejected pile if they sense this way of thinking.  What concerns me the most is how brothers market themselves onto the dating scene and the assumption they make when they speak to a beautiful woman.  Money flashers believe it is a walk in the park that they can get any woman they want.  Most thirsty men try to impress women with their financial assets.  They believe this technique will force a woman to throw herself at their feet. When fantasy becomes reality or they get rejected they proclaim that a woman is stuck up which is far from the truth.  To be honest, no sophisticated female wants to be whistle, bark at or grab in an awkward way from a stranger and I do not blame them.  I have a daughter, and I expect men to treat my little princess as a hu...

BE who you ARE, not who the World wants you to BE By Mel

  Life is full surprises.   When you’re out there in the field you get a sense that all eyes are on you.   That oil to your engine is confidence .   Every ounce in your body engages you to stay well groomed, sell your image, build your vocabulary and practice on your art or goals in life.   That’s a very attractive trait to have and I will tell you why.   The love you put inside yourself shines externally which creates this invisible aura.   It creates offensive projections defined as the way you carry yourself or how you interact with people combine with defensive measures such as keeping your guard up and not allowing people to take advantage of you.   We all have our moments when we navigate in unfamiliar territory.   For example, giving your time and effort to someone who shortchanged you or getting laid off from a promising career just because you challenged the status quo.   Sometimes you feel betrayed but let me share som...

False Advertising By Mel

  Sometimes when we come across someone who we are extremely attracted to we subconsciously do not reveal who we truly are.  This is what I call " False Advertising " which means pretending to be someone else to appeal to a person who you are attracted to.   This all goes back to low-confidence because most men who discover to their own delight that if a beautiful female shows a little bit of friendliness he assumes that she is highly attracted to him.   With no rapport building to see if they have some sort of emotional connection he then abandons his self-identity just to please her.  This is where he gives his power away based alone on visual aspect without this woman even putting minimal effort in to show she is interested in him. Little Trey's logical mind instantly goes into character mode.  For example, he begins to text her non-stop with little to no feedback or purchasing expensive flowers every day delivered to her job.   Sadly, this t...
