Post by Cherubino Tue 3 Mar 2009 - 22:36

Evenin' ladies and germs.

Here's the deal, my brother is a loser and as such dates losers. It's a law. A fact. Truth. Part of the cell theory.

His first GF was a total fuck up. She didn't drive, didn't even try in school, transfered FROM SVA TO KINGSBOROUGH (a community college) because she didn't wanna finish her school year portfolio. She also verbally abused him and made him do everything. And on top of that, she made noises. No joke. Triela used to call her "meep". She was nuts. If you asked her a simple question like, "Did you go to that new bar yet?" She would go "MEOOOOOW" or "YAAAAAK" or something equally unintelligent. It got so bad that he started to stutter and couldn't think properly. So finally, with a little support from me, he dumped her. And we all rejoiced.

Now, he has a new gf, Mary. She's plain, simple, very tall, loaded with cash, 27 to his 22, and really into botany. She likes trying new things like new foods or seeing new productions etc. She is NOT a city gal. She's from nowhere New Jersey. Pharaoh really likes her, which means she must be ok lol. And to be honest, she's sweet and generally agreeable.

Sounds to good to be true riiiight? Very Happy

Aye, here's the rub. She's afraid to drive. Now my brother had lost his car and cannot afford another one. He borrows my mom's car but the drive is far and if my mom's car dies or anything we're FUCKED UP THE ASS HERE. *Sigh* I honestly have no other problems with her other than this one.

I made my brother talk to her and he made no progress cuz he's a pussy who wants to get laid. Now my mom is running outta patience and so am I because now I can't drive to work when he wants the car. He always gets the car when he wants it. He's a prick. He will take the car anyway.

My question here is, should I say something to Mary about driving here? Is it my place? I really wanna tell her to man up, especially since my mom is saying no to him lately. If they break up over this not only will my brother be heart broken, but I will be heart broken for him too. I need some manly advice, what happens if I butt in? If your sister told your GF to man up, what would you do? Puzzled

I'd be more inclined to tell him to man up, get a job, and buy his own car if he feels he needs to travel that far to get laid.
priorities.
driving to work > driving to a girlfriend's house.

on the flip side, though, and back to what you were asking... if she wants him bad enough, then she should probably either get a license, or get him a car (effectively making him her gigolo Laughing )

Well, he is unemployed at the moment so buying a car and borrowing my moms car is stopping...
And I think some of the problem is he is still trying to get laid. Stupid little shit. He tries to hard lol.
And she has a license she's just afraid to drive into NYC.

sounds like a pretty average relationship to me. his desire is stronger than hers. she holds the 'goods' so to speak, hence, she holds the power.

but that's just one cynical point of view...

Since it's your brother...I'm gonna say no.

I also have a solution that's not been said here yet.

If they are so into each other and she seems to enjoy having a hold on
the guy. Why don't they move in together in such a place as nowhere New
Jersey? Driving will be officially eliminated, and he will officially
be in a position where he must man up. He may swim for the horizon or sink like lead, but the lessons will benefit him in the end.

I have to agree with that.

How about this (this might sound stupid, but who knows? it might work) Since your brother can drive and she's afraid to drive, make your brother ask her to lend him the car, so he can escort her anywhere. This kinda discredit your brother so....

Or, how about this. Since your brother can drive and she's afraid to drive, what if your brother become her driver? This way, your brother get a job and they'll always be together. win win solution. But again, this kinda discredit your brother, so......

cuz he's a pussy who wants to get laid

...this actually gets me thinking...

...what's up with western men? Is sex the only thing they have in their head or something?

And I hate how HE has to go to HER. She should do stuff for him sometimes right?
Everything is so one-sided. He has to do everything...
One sided, yes. But I thought it was always the male's job to pick the female.

...although in your brother's case, he should get his own car.

Good thing here you just have to meet in a station and use the train.



now my question is, has he EVER get laid...even once, at least?

If he hasn't, ask him this: "Do you want to marry a virgin?"

if he answers something that goes with 'yeah', then reply:
"Then save yourself until marriage. Because no virgin wants to marry you if you lost it."

Then make a dash for it.

He always gets the car when he wants it.
One way to prevent him from getting the keys: Hid it. Hid it somewhere you know he won't be looking for, then let him mope for his inability to get his own and do something productive instead of leaching of you and your family.

being a 'man' meant you're pressured with the responsibility of the WHOLE FAMILY. He has no right to just sit around and do whatever he likes.

Trust me, I know plenty of "eastern men" (Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, Vietnamese, Malaysian, Indian, etc. etc.) whom have the same thought running through their mind.

Just take a walk through Shinjuku on a Friday or Saturday night and you will quickly see that it is by no means a gaijin thing. Razz

Well she still lives at home although she got her own Condo and will be moving in next month or so. I don't know if he would move in. I think he certainly would get a job first. Maybe he should move in. I doubt he will go to live with her empty handed.

How about this (this might sound stupid, but who knows? it might work) Since your brother can drive and she's afraid to drive, make your brother ask her to lend him the car, so he can escort her anywhere. This kinda discredit your brother so....

Or, how about this. Since your brother can drive and she's afraid to drive, what if your brother become her driver? This way, your brother get a job and they'll always be together. win win solution. But again, this kinda discredit your brother, so......
The problem with lending the car is that she needs to drive to work and then if he uses it on weekends how will he get there first? You would have to drive there and then to get her car? It's not possible. Nor is it possible to take the train there. And damn, if she had enough money to hire a driver I think she woulda done so already.

...what's up with western men? Is sex the only thing they have in their head or something?
No men also think about porn, booze, cars, and pot or other drugs. =D

One sided, yes. But I thought it was always the male's job to pick the female.

...although in your brother's case, he should get his own car.
Why though? Who decided that men were supposed to do everything? Why should men be in a one sided relationship? Women should are more than able to drive and handle anything that a man can do. I'm not trying to sound like a crazy feminist or anything but, I don't see why a man should do everything. I've never had a man do shit for me and I get what needs to be done, done.

now my question is, has he EVER get laid...even once, at least?
Yes he screwed Ms. "meep". She used to talk ALL ABOUT it... *shiver*

being a 'man' meant you're pressured with the responsibility of the WHOLE FAMILY. He has no right to just sit around and do whatever he likes.
Again, who decided that men are supposed to carry the whole families responsibility?

Well Japan is a bit different in this regard then the United States (at least the US of the past few decades). Panzer's statements do reflect the more "traditional" role of Japanese men in Japanese society as I understand it from Japanese colleagues (both male and female) around my age or older.

By no means am I trying to paint the entire Japanese population with the same brush - as Tommygunner and I can both acknowledge, the idea of Japanese women being "demure and deferential in all things" is an outright lie Razz. That being said, it has been my personal experience and my experience watching Japanese male and female friends that the man is often expected to "take the lead" in many cases, even if it is in a subtle way.

Again, this is not a blanket rule. There are plenty of exceptions and especially the past decade or so has seen Japanese women advance their own position vis-a-vis the men (especially in urban areas and the workforce) as American women have been doing for decades.

let's see..... Hid the key....

what's his talent? i'm pretty sure that he should have at least one. can't he earns money using his talent?

i don't know if there is any hope left.


wait, his GF has a job and he doesn't? .............. i've lost my words.

Ouch. Remember, I DO share biological similarities with this specimen.
My mom has talked to him about this and when it comes down to it, she won't kick him out no matter what and NO ONE can force another person to get a job. Personally I think she's to soft on him but whatever.

LOLZ, that's how I got my nickname in elementary school and it just kinda sorta stuck to the point that my dad one time forgot what my REAL name was.

Werd to your mother.

wait, his GF has a job and he doesn't? .............. i've lost my words.
let's hope he will move to her condo next month.... and he don't take the car with him
He was supposed to go into the police academy but they canceled it because of low funding. That's the main reason why he is unemployed.
And yes his GF is employed. She is 27. She's been working full time since before they met. He can't go off with the car because when it comes down to it, my mom owns the car.
And this thread is about whether or not I should say something to his GF not about how hopeless you think my brother is. That kinda slant on things doesn't help.

I´m not sure if I just missed it but who is paying for the gas? Your mom or your brother?
My brother pays for gas when he uses the car. In that sense, he is good on his word. He will always pay the gas but it's hurting him bad. He can't afford much anymore. And my question is, is it right of me to ask his GF to pick up the slack?

On the topic at hand though, I don't see what's so wrong with the public transport system that he has to drive to her house. Get him a bus pass for Christmas/his birthday
There isn't any train/bus that goes to her part of nowhere. You need a car to get there. Almost all of NJ is like that. It's very unlike NY.

What does he plan to do in the future? Is he waiting for a certain position to open up or a chance to go to some kind of trainning? Maybe your parents can force him to make a 5-10 year plan of the future or he will have to start paying rent for the house.
He wants to work for the Gov't. Like I said, he was going to go into the police Academy but it was canceled due to the financial crisis. Unfortunately, getting a job in the gov't is all luck. No one can pull any strings for you.

And yes his GF is employed. She is 27. She's been working full time since before they met. He can't go off with the car because when it comes down to it, my mom owns the car.
And this thread is about whether or not I should say something to his GF not about how hopeless you think my brother is. That kinda slant on things doesn't help.

i'm sorry about it. i'll shut my mouth for a while.

Another solution (this is J/K format, ok?) to the problem is to go all-out Higurashi-style with a kitchen knife and drive that thing through your brother and end his misery...

...although after effects of hallucinations and psychological haunting is to be noted.

Considering Panzer's from Japan, I'm honestly surprised he thinks it's a Western thing.
Well, I am dissappointed about how my country reacts and how...perverted...my country can be...or is. But I do remember the Americans coming here after the end of the war.

So...I kinda' have the idea that it was all western-influence that turn it like this.

He can dream all he want. But he will be going nowhere if he stay glued to his seats. What does he take in university? If he has some skill on SOMETHING, at least he can get a respectable job.

This part of the conversation is really off-topic to what Cherubino is asking assistance for, but I do want to note that Japan "went Western" starting in the Meiji period and Taishō Eras (roughly the late 19th to early 20th century). Especially during the rein of Emperor Taishō, western style of dress and culture were all the rage amongst the upper classes of Japanese society.

If you REALLY had morals and virtues, you would use GRAMMAR when you type. Wink

That's an interesting theory. I've never thought about it that way. Maybe you are right, maybe westernization ruined Japanese culture. It sure did ruin the Native Americans and Indians. I hate how our Ancestors fucked everything up for other people who were 'weaker' than them. That's what I'm embarrassed about. Although, really, MY ancestors countries were always the 'weak' ones.

I love my brother, for as hard on him as I may seem. I had a chat with him, he really seems to be trying harder than I thought he was to get a job. I feel really bad about how I felt about him now. He even applied to places like MacDonald's and ShopRite... I feel so bad for him... I wish the gov't would just take him already. But there is really nothing else he can do except try to go to law school and become a lawyer. He is good with law and good at arguing. lol.

Madama Butterfly takes place in the Meiji period in Japan. That basically sums up how the more traditional Japanese shunned the more modern Japanese. Pretty interesting concept.

Well, when a country is westernized it doesn't lose ALL it's roots. I mean it just became an American practice blended with Japanese ideas.

While I realize that Samurai Champloo isn't exactly a citable source, the show does claim it was originally a Japanese thing. Also, American Indians' current problems are their own fault - there's something wrong about a culture surviving on gambling and tourism.

Yeah but if the dumb ass Europeans of the like... 1600's didn't come to America and Fuck Up their normal ways of living, needless to say, that might have not been their fate. And no. There's nothing wrong with the reservations that were turned into casinos. You know why? They have noting there they can use to go back to the way they were. We get phone calls from NY reservations pleading and begging for money to help pay for things like filters and heaters. Why is that? That's because those are the people that haven't built casinos and still live off of the crappy ass land they were given. We have ALWAYS put them under the bridge. But that's just the way it's always been. America's Gov't is to far gone to recover. It was poisoned by Capitalism. It still is.

Not by capitalism per say, but by the parasitic "Central Banking System".

It stifled technological advancement, paved a way for necrotic big business, and set the groundwork for the economical disaster we have now.

Capitalism isn't necessarily a bad thing when it's main focus is on advancement and maintenance of an economy instead of the sheer consumption and hoarding of resources and products. A prime example of this was the America prior to WW1.

After that, the Federal Reserve System was placed into full authoritarian operation and things fell apart from there. It was later repeated in the 'public domain' health care reform of the late 60's/ early 70's.

Business is good as it provides people with the goods to live comfortably and the means in which they need to exchange for those goods.

'Big' Business is a ruthless and barbaric realm that I make every attempt to steer clear of in every financial venture I partake.

regarding the westernizing of Japan:
the western world brought conservative sexual views to Japan in the 1600s, not liberal ones. at the risk of referencing the same anime as Ryuu... it could be said that the current sexual attitudes of Japan are merely returning to what was normal in and before the Edo period.

regarding big business:
capitalism is all well and good, but it needs to have limits.
I have a very ham-handed (but effective) solution: cap any individual's (and no, I don't count a business as an 'individual. neither should our government, but that's a whole other discussion) income at $1,000,000 per year. I don't care who you are, that's wealthy. If someone is caught moving money made in the US offshore in order to avoid taxation... revoke their citizenship on the spot, then deport them to wherever they moved their money. No coming back without a valid passport from another nation. I know that would kinda dump a bunch of our problem children on Switzerland, but I think they'd handle it better than us anyway... Their courts aren't as forgiving as ours.

on topic:
glad brought it up with your brother, Cherubino. From the outside, it sounds like the change needed has to start with him.

This however, I want to deny. Although I knew this requires me to research about this before I can give a smack-in-the-ass reply. -_-;


Sorry, but I still think the West (European and Americans) and their visit to my country were the one that 'sparked' further exploitation.

...but tentacle pr0n did originally came from here.

Capitalism isn't necessarily a bad thing when it's main focus is on advancement and maintenance of an economy instead of the sheer consumption and hoarding of resources and products. A prime example of this was the America prior to WW1.
The main purpose of capitalism, and I am quoting my economics text book, an economic system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners whose sole purpose is for profit. My problem with this is that it says noting about the people. Even in current America, our gov't tried stepping and and bastardized capitalism. If there is anything I have learned from life in general and from this dumb ass class is that when it comes down to economics, you simply cannot have your cake and eat it too. Either you allow the elite to survive in pure capitalism or do something right by the people, spread the wealth, and finally become socialist. Our country will slowly become socialist. It will never admit to being socialist but we are. Can't you see it around you? It all started with wellfare, social security, and making gov't funded jobs. Soon, our county will lost all of the big businesses that are trying to kill us. We will finally survive on our own and save our own.

And yes, if you haven't figured it out already, I am a socialist.

regarding the westernizing of Japan:
the western world brought conservative sexual views to Japan in the 1600s, not liberal ones. at the risk of referencing the same anime as Ryuu... it could be said that the current sexual attitudes of Japan are merely returning to what was normal in and before the Edo period.

I think we were discussing the sexual views from around the time of WWII and after, once Japan and America became allies and all of that wonderful stuff.

And I never knew about tentacle porn until now... Thanks guys...sweat

Just a brief update with the situation, I thought you would all like to know, I spoke to my stepdad about whether he thought it was my place to say something to Mary. He said that if I say anything I am just interfering and become the "bitchty little sister". So he took it on himself to talk to her. He was stuck driving her home this Sunday because my mom finally put her foot down and said he is no longer allowed to take the car just because she's around. So My stepdad got them in the car and told her she wasn't pulling her weight and he was pissed. Now, for everything my stepdad isn't (open minded, courteous, a listener, kind and forgiving), he is a SONOFABITCH. And a nasty bitch at that. He is intimidating, forward and manipulative when he needs to be. And he also NEVER shuts up. He always talks. So, when the two of them were stuck in his car he gave THEM an EARFUL then called me to tell me how it went lol. I hope it yields results. I really don't like when he gets himself involved, but if my brother won't take me and my mother seriously, I gotta get him to get right to the source.
