Woggle Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I promised myself last Friday I would go one week without looking at gender war stuff online and I must say it is working. I am feeling much much better about my marriage and I am not so angry at the opposite sex all the time. Maybe I will stay away from that stuff for good.
Oxy Moronovich Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 I am one of the bastards that fuels the gender wars here. But I don't stick around long though. Threads with multiple pages of arguing get tired: arguing over the same point; people refusing to accept another point of view; people refusing to accept the fact that bad behavior is regulated to one gender; people who just seem to wanna argue for the sake of arguing; etc. Too much arguing, too little discussion.
Mme. Chaucer Posted February 3, 2012 Posted February 3, 2012 Woggle, why "might" you stay away when you know you feel better without it? Why not certainly stay away? Is it like an addiction?

To which gender is all the bad behavior relegated? Or regulated?
johan Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 (edited) Ha ha ha. I was almost taking you seriously until I read this: Sir, on your behest may I suggest a path such as mine. And this: ...an online ruse if you will in all good fun and I realized you were deliberately trying to sound like you're full of sh*t, out of a sense of irony. Another "ruse, if you will." Ha ha ha! Nice one professor! "behest", ha ha ha! That one was over the top! Edited February 4, 2012 by johan

Have you considered setting yourself intentions on a regular basis? I started the beginning of this year, setting them and reviewing the previous ones at the start of the month, and I like it. You can do it on a weekly, fortnightly, monthly basis - whatever suits you best. I set up a free blog on wordpress and post them there. No-one I know reads it - possibly no-one apart from me reads it - but it's a neat way to keep a record of progress, outcomes, lessons learnt, and such like. Worth a thought. Don't sweat it if you slip up from time to time. It happens when we make significant changes in our lives. It's a matter of fine-tuning, practice and non-judgemental evaluation of your progress. I'm glad you've correlated the effects and the cause so well. Less garbage in has resulted in less garbage out! Keep up the good work. You sound like you're onto something here
Author Woggle Posted February 4, 2012 Author Posted February 4, 2012 I don't do well keeping diaries and all that kind of stuff. I just need to keep my mind on what the benefits of getting rid of this baggage are.
betterdeal Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 Whatever works for you, buddy. I've found it helps me keep positive things in mind. Simple stuff like "floss every day" and what not. And the more actively positive things I do, well the less time I have to do negative stuff.
