Lilwetdick is moaning again on this thread

lilwetdick:
Anyway, we have men living in third world countries like nigeria calling themselves alphamen on nairaland...life is really a bitch, how can men living in abject poverty be calling themselves alphamen...there is nothing i wont see on nairaland.

AnalQueenluci:
no ,am nt into shooting ok

lordskid:


Her last topic (Beta-Male) really makes sense. A real alpha male should be a blessing to the society, not a menace.

Most guys here claiming ALPHA are simply SIMPLETONS flexing their narcissistic tendencies on the so-called "weaker" sex. A real Alpha male doesn't bully or troll a female to caress his ego.

Ryan03:
some people choose to be poor by making poor choices. some are just unfortunate

ubunja:

What is a poor choice?

Ryan03:
use of hard drug, constant partying, no saving habit etc. they are much, that's things drain your cash and makes it difficult to save

lordskid:


Seems your own version of ALPHA MALE tends to devote his life to the "domination" of the "weaker sex", which really betrays those moral values you stated in 1, 2, 5.

A "confident" man doesn't portrays himself as a kind of "PRIZE" to salve his ego.

ubunja:

And since our fathers were poor how many did drugs and partied? And in societies without money to save how is poverty someone's choice?

Ryan03:
did you remember the part where I typed "some are just unfortunate"?

Nobody plans to become poor and yet a great many people end up poor. Here are some of the best known ways of ensuring a life of penury:



1. Be born in a third world country

If you are one of the millions born in very poor countries with no human rights, no education or healthcare and a repressive regime then you face enormous difficulties in escaping a life of poverty. Some do but the vast majority is condemned to extreme hardship.

2. "We don’t need no education…"

If you drop out of school or fail to achieve a basic education then you will severely restrict your chances of employment. What is more: it's difficult to acquire further skills if you lack the basic ones.

However this method does not guarantee poverty as there are some exceptional people who, because of sheer hard work or innate ability, succeed despite little formal education.

3. Develop an addiction.

Addictions are good ways to squander wealth and health. Hard drugs are fast routes to perdition. Gambling works really well too. The time-honoured choice is alcoholism which has ruined many a career and relationship.

Yet there are exceptions. A tiny number of habitual gamblers win, some alcoholics can function for a long time. In the end the addiction usually wins.

4. Never save.

Savings help build wealth so a good plan for long-term poverty is to blow any extra earnings or bonuses on having a good time.




5. Go directly to jail.

A proven way to avoid success is to get involved in crime, particularly early in life, and end up in jail where you can waste the years that could have been spent acquiring an education and useful skills.

Petty criminals find it hard to get jobs, build relationships or retain wealth. Of course some criminals end up rich but they risk being eliminated by rivals.

6. Stay in a dead-end low-paid job.

A low-paid job is fine if you really enjoy what you do or if it is a route to something better. But many people hate what they do and earn barely enough money to survive.

They are reluctant to take a risk, to learn new skills or to try something new. They stay on a road that leads nowhere.

7. Avoiding WORK.

Some unfortunate people are too ill to work but many able bodied people make a decision to live on fraudulent benefits and to avoid work.

Perhaps they intend to marry a movie star or to win the lottery but working their way up is not part of the plan.

There is one thing I have understood about life.... I agree with you to a large extent though op but LIFE has no formula, what works perfectly for one may certainly not work for another .

In maths 1+1 is 2 anyday, anywhere, anytime but not so in life, the race is not to the strong but by the grace of God. I have seen brilliant men in poverty and dull men live in wealth, I have seen morally right men in poverty and questionable character men live in affluence, I have seen first class searching for job, and no certificate holder work in big establishment,I have seen seemily smart guys not making it big, he just can't get it right after several trials but just one button pressed by a seemily lazy Buffon and gbam riches falls on him, I can go on and on .

Like I said life has no formula, even an individual who spent 20 yrs in jail came out hustled and overtook financially his peers who never went to jail.you can't tie any definition to life, No you can't , but you can only summarise life as a " teacher the more we live the more we learn "your learning stops when you die.
