It’s President’s day. I think most people have the day off. Besides my mom, what do you guys like to do on your day off?

For me, I like to sleep in late, lay on my bed and look at my phone for a good while. Go to jiu jitsu. Read (Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince). Play some Overwatch (Currently playing Junk Rat and McCree). And last but not least, but most importantly disseminate liberal propaganda.

The reasons that I have for wishing to go to Harvard are several. I feel that Harvard can give me a better background and a better liberal education than any other university. I have always wanted to go there, as I have felt that it is not just another college, but is a university with something definite to offer. Then too, I would like to go to the same college as my father. To be a “Harvard man” is an enviable distinction, and one that I sincerely hope I shall attain.

20 Of The Most Sadistic Torture Methods Ever Devised

0
0

HANGED, DRAWN AND QUARTERED

During medieval times, the penalty for high treason in England was to be hanged, drawn and quartered in public and though it was abolished in 1814, it has been responsible for the death of thousands of people. In this torture technique, the victim is dragged in a wooden frame called a hurdle to the place of execution. They would then be hanged by the neck for a short period of time until they are near-death (hanged), followed by disembowelment and castration where the entrails and genitalia are burned in front of the victim (drawn). The victim would then be divided into four separate parts and beheaded (quartered).

 

THE BRAZEN BULL

Also known as the Sicilian Bull, it was designed in ancient Greece. A solid piece of brass was cast with a door on the side that could be opened and latched. The victim would be placed inside the bull and a fire set underneath it until the metal became literally yellow as it was heated. The victim would then be slowly roasted to death all while screaming in agonizing pain. The bull was purposely designed to amplify these screams and make them sound like the bellowing of a bull.

 

SAW TORTURE

In this method, the victim is hung upside down, so that the blood will rush to their heads and keep them conscious during the long torture. The torturer would then saw through the victims’ bodies until they were completely sawed in half. Most were cut up only in their abdomen to prolong their agony.

 

THE CHAIR OF TORTURE

Also known as the Judas Chair, it was a terrible, intimidating torture device that was added to dungeons in the Middle Ages. Used until the 1800′s in Europe, this chair was layered with 500 to 1,500 spikes on every surface with tight straps to restrain its victim. Made of iron, it can also contain spaces for heating elements beneath the seat. It was often used to scare people into giving confessions as they watched others being tortured on the device.

 

THE RACK 

Is a torture device consisting of a rectangular, usually wooden frame, slightly raised from the ground, with a roller at one or both ends. The victim’s ankles are fastened to one roller and the wrists are chained to the other. As the interrogation progresses, a handle and ratchet mechanism attached to the top roller are used to very gradually increase the tension on the chains, inducing excruciating pain. By means of pulleys and levers this roller could be rotated on its own axis, thus straining the ropes until the sufferer’s joints were dislocated and eventually separated. Additionally, if muscle are stretched excessively, they lose their ability to contract, rendering them ineffective. One gruesome aspect of being stretched too far on the rack is the loud popping noises made by snapping cartilage, ligaments or bones.

 

BREAST RIPPER

Known in another form as the Iron Spider or simply the spider, was a torture instrument mainly used on women who were accused of adultery, or self-abortion. The instrument was designed to rip the breasts from a woman and was made from iron, which was usually heated. The tool was used popularly in the Free State of Bavaria, a state in Germany, in 1599, and in parts of Germany and France until the nineteenth century.

 

TONGUE TEARER

Looking like an over sized pair of scissors, it could effortlessly cut the victim’s tongue. Their mouth would be forced opened with a device called a mouth opener, and then the iron tongue tearer would uncomfortably twitch the tongue with its rough grippers. Once a firm hold was maintained, the screw would be firmly tightened and the victim’s tongue would roughly be torn out.

 

IRON MAIDEN

This torture device consisted of an iron cabinet with a hinged front and spike-covered interior, sufficient enough to enclose a human being. Once inside its conical frame, the victim would be unable to move due to the great number of steel spikes impaling them from every direction. The interrogator would scream questions at the victim while poking them with jagged edges.

 

STRAPPADO

The Strappado is a form of torture in which the victim’s hands are first tied behind his or her back and suspended in the air by means of a rope attached to wrists, which most likely dislocates both arms. Weights may be added to the body to intensify the effect and increase the pain. Other names for strappado include “reverse hanging” and “Palestinian hanging” (although it is not used by the Palestinian Authority) It is best known for its use in the torture chambers of the medieval Inquisition.

 

WOODEN HORSE/SPANISH DONKEY

One of the torture devices during the Spanish Inquisition and medieval ages, this is probably one of the most gruesome of them all. The victim is put astride, naked, on a donkey-like apparatus, which is actually a vertical wooden board with a sharp V-wedge on top of it. After that, the torturer would add varying weights to the victim’s feet until finally the wedge sliced through the victim’s body. 

 

PEAR OF ANGUISH/CHOKE PEAR

The pear of anguish or choke pear is the modern name for a type of instrument displayed in some museums, consisting of a metal body (usually pear-shaped) divided into spoon-like segments that could be spread apart by turning a screw. The museum descriptions and some recent sources assert that the devices were used either as a gag, to prevent people from speaking, or internally as an instrument of torture.

 

JUDAS CRADLE

The victim would presumably be placed in the waist harness above the pyramid-shaped seat, with the point inserted into their an*s or v*gin*, then very slowly lowered by ropes. The subject is tortured by intense pressure and stretching of the orifice, eventually succumbing to tears in muscle tissue that could turn septic and kill from infection, or simply being impaled. 

 

NECK TORTURE

Humiliating and painful, this punishment was something of an endurance test where the victim would be hooked into a neck device, either made of metal or wood, which prevented the victim from adjusting into a comfortable position. The cruelty of this punishment lie within the fact that they were unable to lie down, eat, or lower their head for days.

 

HERETIC’S FORK

The device was placed between the breast bone and throat just under the chin and secured with a leather strap around the neck, while the victim was hung from the ceiling or otherwise suspended in a way so that they could not lie down.Usually the Heretic’s fork was given to people who spoke the lord’s name in vain, blasphemers, or liars. This way, the punishment made it nearly impossible for them to talk. Also, a person wearing it couldn’t fall asleep. The moment their head dropped with fatigue, the prongs pierced their throat or chest, causing great pain. This very simple instrument created long periods of sleep deprivation. People were awake for days, which made confessions more likely.

 

BREAKING WHEEL/ CATHERINE WHEEL

Was a torture device used for capital punishment from Antiquity into early modern times for public execution by breaking the criminal’s bones/bludgeoning him to death. As a form of execution, it was used from “Classical” times into the 18th century; as a form of post mortem punishment of the criminal, the wheel was still in use into 19th century Germany.

 

COFFIN TORTURE

The most preferred torture technique in the Middle Ages was known as coffin torture. This method involved placing the victim inside a metal cage roughly the size of the human body; hence the name. The torturers also forced overweight victims into smaller cages to heighten their discomfort as they hung from a tree or gallows. Generally, they would be left there until the crows came to feed on their remains.

 

SPANISH TICKLER/ CAT’S PAW

Is a type of torture instrument, consisting of long, sharp iron spikes curved so as to resemble claws. It was often attached to a handle, or else used as an extension of the torturer’s hand. In this way it was used to rip and tear flesh away from the bone, from any part of the body. It was also used as a weapon. This device was commonly used on thieves and unfaithful wives. Most who were tortured in this manner died not at the time, but afterwards. Especially with the Cat’s Paw, the device would cause infections as the device would cut so deep. The prongs were nearly never washed, so the chances of these infections were very high.

 

KNEE SPLITTER

The knee splitter was a form of torture used mainly during the inquisition. It was created from two spiked wood blocks, placed in front of, and behind the knee. The blocks were connected with two large screws. When turned, the blocks would close towards each other, destroying the knee underneath them. This method was used to render the knees useless. The number of spikes on the blocks would range from three to twenty, depending on the captive.

 

HEAD CRUSHER 

This metal device featured a plate that sat below the victim’s jaw, which was connected by a frame to the head cap. As the torturer slowly twisted the handle, the gap between the head cap and plate decreased in width, causing crushing of the skull and facial bones, including teeth and jaws, and ultimately inducing death; even if the torturer stopped before death, permanent damage to the facial muscles and structure would occur. The victim’s head would slowly be crushed, killing the victim, but not before the victim’s jaw had been crushed, and their eyes had popped from their socket.

 

IMPALEMENT

Given his name, it should come as no surprise that this was the most favored method of execution by Vlad the Impaler. In 15th century Romania; the victim was forced to sit on a sharp and thick pole. When the pole was then raised upright, the victim was left to slide down the pole with their own weight. It could take the victim 3 days to die using this method and it has been said that Vlad once did this to 20,000 people all while enjoying a meal.

Confessions Of A Chinese Food Restaurant Worker

How do all the Chinese takeout restaurants have the same menu? Is there some secret “American Chinese food” cookbook that everyone uses?

This is probably because everyone copies the success of another. And as a result, everyone expect all chinese takeout to have the same dishes. Its a cycle.

Every Chinese place near me has the exact same egg rolls. I mean like they look and taste EXACTLY the same. Same thing with a few other dishes like lo mein noodles, sesame chicken, etc. I assume there’s some food supplier in the area that they all get their stuff from. Any thoughts on this / how widespread is this?

There are usually 2-3 competing suppliers for every location, but all those suppliers stock the same products and its just the price that is different. Now to answer your question, there are premade egg rolls and I am sure places order those egg rolls because they don’t want to make their own. However, I am not sure how widespread it is. Even places that dont order the premade egg roll still have to order the veges to put in the egg rolls and that is the same regardless of where you go. And becauses egg rolls are so lightly seasoned and the veges are usually the same, rolls premade or not usually look and taste the same. There are small differences if you pay close attention, but usually people put such an abundance of extra sauce on it that they cant even taste the difference anyways.

How much of typical Chinese food is made from scratch vs made from prepackaged ingredients?

Most chinese food dishes are made from scratch and rarely are they ever prepackaged. the most common thing that is prepackaged are probably dumplings.

Is North American style Chinese cheaper and/or easier to make than something more authentic?

North american Chinese is definitely easier and cheaper to prepare. Most of the prepping can be done in bulk and final product from the precook stages only takes a couple minutes.

Authentic chinese food requires more ingredients and a longer cooking process.

Which do you personally prefer to eat?

I prefer authenic chinese food on a daily basis but I do get cravings for the north american style.

Do you guys cook authentic chinese food for yourselves in the back? Can I request it?

We do cook authentic chinese food for ourselves and we do make it by special request to the customers!

You just have to know the name and how the dish is like and then ask if they know what you are talking about and if they have the ability to make it! Some authentic dishes require a lot of prep so they wont be able to.

Can you recommend some authentic dishes?

One of my favorite authentic dishes is Cantonese lobster!

How often, if at all, do you eat at other Chinese restaurants? Can you just enjoy the food or do you compare/critique it?

I actually eat at other chinese takeouts pretty often when I am out an about.

Its fun trying out different places and comparing them to your own. So I do critique it but it doesnt mean I dont enjoy it when I do.

Most Chinese food places have the stereotype of being unclean. Is there any truth to this? If so, why?

I am not surprised from this stereotype, but it is usually dependent upon the area. I have been two a few places that i felt were not clean, but most are usually sanitary. All stores have health inspectors come by, so they have to meet some sort of standard.

If you live in a nice neighborhood, the store will be clean, if you really want to make sure, just go to the store and ask to use the bathroom.

The reason behind the negative stereotype comes from china. They probably work in a store in china and what worked over there might not work over here. I dont have any personal experience with this so I can not elaborate further.

Is there any way to get on the staff’s good side? I feel like where I go they just want me gone.

That’s a hard one and it depends on the store. I really think the best way is to talk to them, but not about the store. They work in the store 11+ hours a day. Local news or anything interesting

What’s the best seller?

General Tso Chicken and its variations.

What’s the actual way to pronounce Tso? Some people say general so or taos or chows

It’s usually “so’s” or “sao’s.” Please dont try to sound out the “T.”

Ever see “The Search for General Tso”? It’s a documentary all about how and why that dish got to be so popular.

I havent seen it, but I will definitely give it a shot when I have time

What is used for coating the chicken in dishes like general Tso’s?

It’s lightly seasoned wet batter ( water, salt, oil, egg white, flour)

Cooking is 4ish steps:

  1. marinate in he chicken in light seasoning
  2. mix in batter
  3. fry it hot oil to lock on the batter
  4. lower the temp of the oil to fully harden the outside and cook the inside
  5. Stir fry the chicken with the sauce.

I try and try to make Chinese food at home and it’s never as good as the worst Chinese takeout. What’s the secret?

I can guarantee you the main reason is the sauce. The recipes you find online dont use the same ingredients we have in stores. The sauces in restaurants usually mix a variety of seasoning and sauces togethers to achieve the correct taste.

Also the ability to flash cook in a wok makes a big difference believe it or not.

What is in the brown sauce used in egg foo young? I typically get roast pork or shrimp egg foo young on occasion

To be honest, that is probably the hardest sauce in the store to make. So many different ingredients go into that sauce, I actually need my super secret recipe book that was passed to make it.

What is in the lobster sauce?

Its mainly just thicken chicken broth with salt, sugar, msg, white pepper and flowered egg whites.

Is there a dish that is ordered rarely but you think is one of the best on the menu?

Probably mongolian style dishes and actual chow mi fun noodles (rice noodles)

What is the number one thing you would never order from a Chinese take-out restaurant?

Probably french fries if they offer it. We dont but i know some places that do.

Does your place proudly proclaim “no msg” like some I’ve seen? Because I want the damn msg! It took me some serious searching in my town to find a bag, and it was in the Asian aisle of the restraunt supply store. A little bit on meat does miraculous things.

Dont believe the places that say no MSG. Cause their food will have it regardless. Even if they dont add additional MSG, the sauces will have it.

Two local stores have kids that are always playing around inside, and they are there so much I have literally watched them grow up to some extent. Did you have this same experience? If so, how would you describe being there so often?

I know exaclty what you are talking about. I am one of those type of kids! The restaurant is a love hate relationship! Its great because it keeps your family so close together, but at the same time it keeps them far apart because they are working 24/7. However, it is a unique eperience, you learn about tons of different people and personalities. you also learn about the value of money and work ethics!

My local Chinese take out place puts a guy that can barely speak English on the phone but a fluent guy delivers the food, can you explain the thinking behind this?

There can be quite a few reasons. but the main reason is probably the driver doesn’t work in the restaurant and is just hired to deliver food.

What’s the worst client you had to deal with?

One of the most common sayings you hear in the food service industry is that “The customer is always right.” I wish you didnt have to follow this rule, but no matter how much you hate it, there is a reason for it.

Because of this mindset, you get these customer sometimes that believe they can do whatever they want.

One time, this individual comes in with an already eaten dish. I mean like, the dish was already almost done; only a couple pieces of veges left on the plate. he claims that the dish is not what he order and ask for a refund and starts throwing a fit while there were tons of other people around. he throws the food on the ground and then leaves. We end up with a mess and dead silent waiting room. What an asshole

Are you offended if someone doesn’t tip for take out? I tip most times but sometimes I think it’s unnecessary.

Never! No one should be forced to tip. If you like us or the food then tip if you want, but dont tip because you think you have to! I would never go to a place that forces people to tip, especially take out!

How does it feel to know that Chinese restaurants have, over the decades, become so ingrained in North American culture that it’s almost not even seen as “foreign food”?

To be honest, I would consider American Chinese food American food! There is a vast difference between the this and authentic. It’s actually quite humbling the American society was so welcoming to the food!

What’s your life outside the restaurant like? Do you have a lot of free time to yourself?

I am actually a college graduate looking for higher education right now. So I do that in my free time.

A Few Answers To Questions You Always Wondered About

What is doctor assisted death like?

An immediate family member last year was diagnosed with bronchiolitis obliterans (popcorn lungs) with an unknown cause to it. It is something that is not curable. As someone who was a daily part of my life it was hard to watch the condition progress.

His condition progressively got worse and he was transferred to a palativcare physicality a couple of weeks ago. He wasn’t happy living the way he was living and slowly dying. The doctors discussed with him the option of assisted death… something he did not know about, and myself I thought was still not finalized in Canada yet, so it was a surprise to hear this.

After a long discussion with the family and doctors, he signed the papers a week ago to start the process. He wanted to end his life and do away with the suffering and the suffering to come.

So yesterday (Saturday) afternoon was the scheduled day for this to happen. The day started like any other for him… he was very upbeat, laughing, and smiling. All of his close love ones we’re around that morning. We spent hours talking, playing crib, and going through some old memories.

Around 2PM the doctors came into the room, I almost fainted once it dawned on me that it was time – I felt dizzy but I stuck through it. It was even harder to see my kids go through the emotions of it.

What I’m about to describe from here-on-out is very surreal… the doctors sat down next to him in the chair and asked if he was ready to begin the process. He instantly said he was. The doctors then put two ports into his veins, gave him a relaxant and made his recliner comfortable. She explained the first needle he would get would be a heavy anesthesia, which would take him under within seconds, a second needle to numb any pain because the rest of the needles would be nerve-killing, and without it, he would feel a burning sensation. She explained to him it would be just like falling asleep. They then left the room and told us we had as much time as we needed before they would begin.

We all said our goodbyes and shared some final moments through his tears and ours. We agreed we didn’t want to prolong the process and make it any harder, so he had the doctors come back in about 2:30PM.

They carried in roughly 8 needles and laid them on the table next to him. We all stood around him and held his hands. The doctor sat next to him again and put the first needle into the port and asked him if he was sure he still wanted to go ahead with this process.

He said “Yes my love, do it” – my mind was racing when he said this, a rollercoaster of emotions came over me as he grabbed our hands tight and the doctor pushed the needle in. Within seconds you could see his expression change to a relaxing state, he started to mumble some stuff about where he lived… the doctor told us this is the needle kicking in. She then pushed in the second needle right after and he was still grabbing our hands. She then pumped in the remaining milk-looking needles (which I assume was for the nerves). His grip got a little loose, he closed his eyes, and his breathing slowed down. I can’t fathom the time this took… it was like everything was a standstill, but it seemed about 30 seconds, and his breathing and heart then stopped and it was over.

It tears me up writing this out today but I wanted to share my experience going through it and get awareness out there for this option, if any of your family members are terminally-ill, this is an option for them. I have so much respect for the bravery it takes for someone to go through this process – to sit there and have your life taken away, it takes a special kind of person.

I want to thank this great above-and-beyond civilized country for having this option available to him yesterday and I hope my story can help ease some minds about what the process involves. Its truly peaceful for the patient to go through.

Thank you.

 

 

What does it feel like to starve to death?

This is an excerpt from a book called What It Feels Like. This is from the bit written by a guy who, with some other men went on hunger strike while he was in prison.

“All we could consume was water and salt so our bodies could perform their natural functions. We dipped our fingers in salt about six times a day and drank about 6 pints of water so our kidneys and liver were flushed.

Your body fared a lot worse if you had a lot of fat. It burns the fat before the muscle and fat burns with a toxic residue that puts the kidneys under a lot of pressure.

At the time I was 10 and a half stone (147 pounds), already thin from a prison diet.

The first few days you always feel hungry. But you know you’re not going to eat so it’s an emptiness rather than a hunger. After that your stomach shrinks, so you don’t even have that empty feeling. By drinking water you can make the stomach feel like there is something in it.

I was moved to the prison hospital after 21 days. By then I was a lot weaker and walked a lot slower. If I got out of bed to quickly, I got dizzy and nauseous.

When you’re on hunger strike your sense of smell becomes very sharp, even as hearing and vision fail.

I was getting more gaunt and flesh was dropping off around my shoulders.The temples and cheeks became sunken and my head looked narrow and shrunken. The collarbone became exposed and my hips disappeared into my bones. My spine and ribs became very prominent. Blood vessels started to break down in the arms and face; I could see small blue marks under my skin where they had burst.

At 40 days the vision goes. First I got blurred and double vision, then a mix of the two. Finally I got to the point where I didn’t want to open my eyes because everything was blurred.

During the last days, we were lying on sheepskin rugs and they were rubbing us down with cream every day to stop the skin from breaking. I didn’t really experience pain, but people did get sick and throw up all the time. I had nothing to throw up but green bile. It took a toll on the body because all I could do was retch. This happened to me at 66 days.

I urinated because we were drinking a lot of water. We discovered that during the last stages they would have a bowel movement, which was a very painful experience. Whenever this happened to someone, they generally died within 2 or 3 days. At 60 days this happened to me. I went to the toilet for about 2 hours. It was very dramatic and painful and it felt like my insides were ripping apart. People would scream because it took so long. After it happened I was helped back to my cell and I didn’t get out of bed after that.

After 68 days my situation was considered critical and my family was brought in to see me. After 70 days I slipped into a coma and then my family authorised medical intervention. By this time I weighed 7 stone (98 pounds).

After treatment in hospital for 3 weeks I was sent back to prison. I could hardly see and had to hold on to the walls in order to walk. I got nauseated if I stood for too long. 3 days later the hunger strike was called off.”

 

 

What does it feel like to have an heroin addiction?

 I’ve been an opiate addict for a long time and tried many drugs. Drugs that are ‘uppers’ have the most ‘obvious’ euphoria. For example if you take adderall/coke/meth/speed/MDMA you will get this shining bright euphoria, self confidence, energy, and other drug-specific feelings (for meth like you are king or for MDMA like you love everyone). However, you owe these drugs back what they delivered to you. After a meth binge, or lots of MDMA use, or staying up all night on coke you will feel like shit. To an extent this aspect is similar to an alcoholic hangover.

On the other hand, for many people who experiment with heroin they are underwhelmed (not including IV usage, but most experimenters rarely ever IV first time). They just feel good, chill, happy, but they feel like this spooky drug ‘heroin’ hasn’t delivered. They are just mellow. Oh obviously it has all been a lie they will think. Heroin isn’t spooky, it’s chill. It’s not addictive like everyone else thinks. It doesn’t make you do stupid shit or stay up all day and hallucinate like amphetamines or coke. It doesn’t empty your serotonin like MDMA or give you a hangover like alcohol. People tend to just think oh, what a nice drug.

So the next day they wake up and everything is normal. No headache or shitty feeling–just a slight afterglow of that nice feeling. Oh it was cheap as well! It only cost $10 for a whole night of being high! I thought people said heroin was expensive? And then next weekend comes… There are all these drugs I could do but I liked heroin. It didn’t ‘fuck me up,’ I could still think clearly. No hangover. No feeling like shit later. I still was awake. It just made me happy and content with life. Oh and it’s only $10! Well, I should get some more for the whole weekend. This is great! I will use Heroin on the weekends now!

Now let’s say this person works and has responsibilities. He knows he can’t go into work drunk, or on MDMA, or high. So he doesn’t. It’s actually simple. But heroin… Well the user might actually find they do better work on heroin. Instead of being sad or grumpy or depressed with his job… he is just… happy. Mellow. Content. Everything is fine and the world is beautiful. It’s raining, it’s dark, I woke up at 5:30AM, I’m commuting in traffic. I would have had a headache, I would have been miserable, I would have wondered how my life took me to this point. This point I’m at right now. But no, no, everything is fine. Life is beautiful. The rain drops are just falling and in each one I see the reflection of every persons life around me. Humanity is beautiful. In this still frame shot of traffic on this crowded bus I just found love and peace. Heroin is a wonder drug. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin makes me who I wish I was. Heroin makes life worth living. Heroin is better than everything else. Heroin builds up a tolerance fast. Heroin starts to cost more money. I need heroin to feel normal. I don’t love anymore. Now I’m sick. I can’t afford the heroin that I need. How did $10 used to get me high? Now I need $100. That guy that let me try a few lines the first time doesn’t actually deal. Oh I need to find a real dealer? This guy is a felon and carries a gun–he can sell me the drug that lets me find love in the world. No this isn’t working, I need to quit.

To answer your question, heroin feels nice. That’s all, it just feels very nice. You can make the rest up for yourself. Attach your own half-truths to this drug that will show you the world and for a moment you will feel as clever as Faust.

 

 

What does being an ‘Adult’ feel like?

“I’m sorry to bring you here like this.”

“Not at all, my dear boy. Not at all.”

“But, you see, I have to know… I have to know, and you’re the only one –”

“I get it,” the old man interrupted me. He puffed his cheeks weakly, like it took him great effort just to breathe, and then he leaned back against the armchair and his eyes turned to the crackling of the fireplace. “Ask away.”

“Well… it’s pretty simple, actually.” I leaned forward. “What’s it like?”

His eyes turned to me, and he almost smiled. “What’s it like?”

“Yeah. Life. Growing up. Being old.” I paused. “Well, not that I’m calling you old, I just –”

“It’s okay, dear boy,” he laughed. “I am old. That’s why you brought me here.”

I said nothing. He arranged himself on the armchair like he had all the time in the world. Then his eyes went up to me again. “It’s… hard.”

I waited. I knew he wasn’t done.

“It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever have to do, actually” he continued. “Harder than building all this fancy equipment you’ve built. Harder than studying all you’ve studied. Harder than winning all these scientific awards you’ve won so far.” He chuckled. “Nothing prepares you for it.”

“What makes it hard?” I asked. “Is it the responsibilities? The body decaying? What makes growing up so hard?”

“No. It’s not the responsibilities. Growing up is like looking both ways before you cross the street, then getting hit by an airplane.” He lowered his head as if to put his thoughts together, then continued. “It’s the things you don’t expect that catch you by surprise. Sure, it’s scary to have a kid, and to get married, and to ask your boss for a promotion, and all these grown-up stuff we have to pretend we know how to do.”

“Pretend?”

He seemed surprised. “Yes, pretend. No one really grows up, of course. We put on a face to the world, but at home, three in the morning, all alone watching TV, you’re still sixteen. All of us are.” He shook his head. “There’s nothing more heartbreaking than being a real person and sitting down in front of another real person, and then both of you have to act like fake people. You sit across from someone two years older than you in a job interview and you both say ‘Hello, sir’ and ‘Yes, I also think the Dow Jones has been fluctuating dangerously this last few days’ and ‘Oh, absolutely, the 405 is a nightmare this time of day’. And all along you know you both laugh at poop jokes and fart sounds and you have all these hobbies and interests and you curse and say fuck and shit and asshole. You’re real people. But you act like robots. You have to put on the face, and they have to put on a face, and you have to pretend that nothing in life is ever fun, everything is productivity and seriousness.”

“Is that what makes it hard?” I asked. “That everyone’s just… faking their way through adulthood?”

“No. No, that’s expected. It sucks, but we all know what we’re getting into.” He sighed. “No, what catches you by surprise are the little things about growing up. It’s being stuck in traffic and remembering a day. Any day. A locker room conversation in high school. A teacher. A friend of a friend. Something that happened long enough ago that it could order its own drink. It sneaks up on you, and you look at yourself in the rear view and you think, my God… where did it go? When did I become so old?

“I remember college like it was yesterday. I remember my girlfriends and my friends and they used to drink and talk about sex and hanging out and now they all eat oatmeal and go to funerals. And I do that to, and I like all of that. Well, not going to funerals, but oatmeal. Soap operas. Going to bed at nine. I like it.”

“So what’s the problem?”

“The problem is I’m still the sixteen year old. I’m still the college kid. My needs and wants have changed, and my body has changed, and my mind has changed, in a way, but I didn’t change. I’m still putting on a face. So when these thoughts sneak up on me – when a flash of a college party or a roadtrip or the feeling of falling asleep in the back of my Dad’s car wells up on me… it breaks me. It breaks me because I don’t think of it fondly. I don’t look at that young kid with affection and nostalgia, I look at him with envy. Envy, because he’s got all of that ahead of him still, and he doesn’t even know how lucky he is. He’s me, we’re the same – but he’s got the good looks and the health and all the years ahead of him, and I’m wasting away in an old apartment. And I hate that kid so much. Every time he sneaks up on me I hate him more.”

I looked down, then up. “What about family? Kids?”

“They are great. They are amazing. But they go away. They’re not you. In the end, you raise your sons and daughters for the world, not for yourself. They have to fall asleep in the back of my car, and go to their college parties and all that… they don’t exist for my benefit. No one exists for my benefit but myself. And I’m much too old to do anything about it.”

I swallowed dry and averted my eyes to the fireplace. The old man leaned forward. “We always get the feeling that the good old days are either behind us or ahead of us. They’re never our own days. We were always born just a bit too late to go to Woodstock or to see Nirvana live or to see the Berlin Wall fall or to party Great Gatsby style in the 20’s. And then we get old and we realize we were born too soon to see the wonders of technology and the world reshaping and blooming into something new and exciting. But the truth is, our Woodstocks were happening all around us as we grew. Our new and exciting world was some old guy’s boring present, and our past will be some spoiled, arrogant kid’s ‘Good old days’. We were just too stupid to realize it when it mattered. So we let it slide away. And then we ended up like me – sad and resentful of our younger selves for all they can still do and we can’t.”

Finally, I got up. I went to the old man and I knelt in front of him. “I’m sorry I brought you over.”

“It’s okay,” he said. “I knew you would. After all, I did it, sixty years ago.”

I looked at my own eyes. Despite the wrinkles around them, they still looked pretty much the same. The old man shook his head and sniffed a tear away. “Now let’s go back to your lab so you can send me back to my own time, so I can hate you in peace.”

I hugged my own eighty year old version and leaned away and nodded. “I’ll enjoy it,” I said. “And I’ll know I’m living in the good old days, I promise.”

He got up with difficulty. “No, you won’t,” he said. “The good old days are only ever good when they’re gone. That’s what makes them good. When you’re living through them, they’re just… days.”

He slow-stepped ahead of me towards the lab. Then he spoke without turning his head: “And days go by really fast, man. They go by really fast.”

What Every Introvert Ought to Know About Dating

0

By Nick Neeson

I get lots of introverted men e-mailing me to ask me how to become more successful with women.

Many of those questions have a common theme.

“I’ve tried out so much dating advice and it just doesn’t cut it for me. It’s draining, and I feel like I’m betraying myself. Is it possible there’s something wrong with me?”

They might not all write it in exactly those words, but that’s the general theme of the emails we receive.

Many introverted men think there’s something inherently wrong with them.

I have news for you.

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH YOU!

I’d like to share some secrets that I feel are VITAL to understand if you’re an introvert and are wondering how to improve your love life.

The first and MOST IMPORTANT thing you ought to know is…

Most of the dating advice you’re getting is DEAD WRONG for introverts.

We know because we coach introverted men from all sorts of backgrounds, and we test EVERYTHING.

Most dating advice is focused on extroverts, and it just doesn’t cut it for introverts.

The main reason is that introverts have an opposite way of getting energy compared to extroverts.

Extroverts get their energy from interacting with people. Introverts get their energy from being alone.

Almost every piece of dating advice out there feels draining to an introvert. Heck, just reading it almost makes you feel like it’s stealing your energy.

Here is some typical advice that makes your stomach turn:

“Go to nightclubs, act like you’re the owner, and make small talk with everybody.”

“Talk to everybody that comes within five feet of you all day long.”

“Become a great and entertaining storyteller to mesmerize women.”

The problem with all this is that it reinforces the idea that there’s something wrong with them.

So, most introverted men don’t even consider improving their love life anymore.

Instead, they focus on their career, friends, and hobbies. They submerge themselves in all those other areas as a strategy for not having to deal with the real issue.

If that’s you, BE CAREFUL! This is a dangerous way to live your life.

Before you know it, you’ll get used to this lifestyle. At some point, you’ll start to believe that having success with women just wasn’t meant for you.

In most cases, it leads to one of two things.

Either you settle for a woman that you’re not attracted to, or you stay alone for the rest of your life.

Not a really appealing prospect for your future, is it?

But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Here’s how you can become successful with women and dating if you are an introvert.

First, stop reading traditional dating advice. It only makes things worse because it teaches you methods that are incompatible with your very nature.

Don’t try to be someone you’re not. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Extroversion is not better than introversion, and introversion is not better than extroversion.

You just need to learn to leverage your strengths.

Let’s look at what your biggest natural strengths are.

You have many of them. I’m going to list just a few to keep this article pragmatic and actionable.

You are great at one-on-one conversations. You are a fantastic listener. You are thoughtful. Because you listen more than you talk, you are naturally mysterious. You are very good at figuring people out on a deeper level because you are focused on understanding people. You process things at a deeper level and from different angles, which again makes you very good at having deep conversations with people. People feel comfortable talking to you.

Your biggest strength is your ability to create deep connections with women.

You might be thinking to yourself, “Fantastic qualities, Nick! They always get me friend-zoned!”

Well, my friend, that’s A MYTH. It’s just not true.

Here’s the second thing every introvert needs to know:

It’s not your thoughtfulness, listening skills, or connecting skills that get you friend-zoned. It’s because of certain other things you DON’T do.

It’s not something you do. It’s something you DON’T do.

Let me explain.

Most women need to feel three different emotions before they decide to become physically intimate with you:

Attraction, connection, and arousal.

I call them the Triad of Intimacy.

As you can see, connection is only one of the three emotions.

Most introverts are good at creating a connection, but they are terrible at creating attraction and arousal.

You won’t be! After reading this article, you’ll know exactly how to trigger attraction and arousal naturally, without being someone you’re not.

To do so, you need to do two things.

First, you need to leverage your natural strengths.

Second, you’ll need to add some new skills that are ALLIGNED with your introverted strengths.

Leverage your natural strengths.

This one’s pretty self-explanatory.

One of the three emotions women need to feel for you is connection.

You’re already pretty good in that department. So, keep doing what you’ve always done.

Don’t worry about the friend-zone. As I said, it’s not your connecting skills that get you slam-dunked in the friend-zone. It’s the absence of attraction and arousal.

I’ll show you how to add these two other emotions to your interactions with women right now…

Align new skills to your existing strengths.

Instead of learning flashy games and weird PUA techniques that don’t suit your personality or your natural inclinations, choose skills that are aligned with your strengths.

Of course you’ll need to learn some new skills. Of course you need to grow. But you need to grow in a way that’s authentic to who you are.

You can do that by learning new skills that build on your existing skills—new skills that only require a minor shift in what you are already doing, not a total 180.

Here’s how to build attraction and arousal by just putting a minor twist on your existing strengths.

Use your listening skills to create attraction.

Yes, you read that right. Listening is not just a way to create a connection, it’s also a way to create attraction.

You only need to it in a slightly other way. In fact, it’s not even the listening itself that’s different, it’s what you listen for that’s different.

Next time you’re in conversation with a woman, I’d like you to listen to find out if she’s your kind of woman.

In other words, I‘d like you to find out if she matches your criteria.

To do that, you’ll have to prepare a bit first.

You’ll have to make an Ideal Woman Persona.

An ideal woman persona is nothing more than a list of requirements that you want your dream woman to have.

Here are some questions you can ask yourself:

  • What character traits does my ideal woman have?

  • What does her typical day looks like?

  • What kind of activities does she do? Sports, hobbies, etc.

  • What values does she have?

Once you’ve made your ideal woman persona, you are ready to use your listening skills to build attraction.

Here’s how you do it.

During your next conversation you’ll be talking, listening, and building a connection as you usually do. But I want you to add something. I want you to listen with the intention to find out if she matches your wants and needs.

For example, let’s say you like women that are into sports.

At some point during your conversation, the topic of sports might come up.

That will be the perfect moment to ask her “Do you play any sports?”

Because the answer matters to you, she will feel it. She’ll see it on your face. Women are very perceptive about this. She’ll feel you are screening her.

Just the fact that you are screening her creates attraction.

This is because she’ll assume you have options with women. You have to have options with women if you are screening her. See what I mean? A man that doesn’t have options wouldn’t be picky.

In a nutshell, listening with a screening mindset implies you are pre-selected by other women. Pre-selection is probably one of the most powerful attraction switches within women. Pre-selection states that women can’t help but feel attracted to a man when they know other woman are attracted to that man.

Typical PUA advice will tell you to tell stories in which you show you are pre-selected. Don’t do it. She’ll see it as bragging. There’s no need to do that. Just ask her some screening questions and you’ll get better results because it’s more subtle. It’s also more aligned with your introverted nature.

Once she answers your question, you have two possibilities.

Either she matches your criterion or not.

If she does, you can validate her by telling her you like her answer and explain the reason why you like it.

“Not bad…I like it. Exercise is very important because it gives you energy, and it keeps you fit. It’s just so important for your health”

If she doesn’t match your criterion, just change the subject.

She’ll see in your face that you didn’t like her answer. Again, that’s because you truly care about the answer. This will make her work harder to impress you.

As you can see, it’s important that you take the time to build your Ideal Woman Persona and listen with a screening mindset.

Create sexual tension using your listening skills.

Just as you can build a connection and attraction with your listening skills, you can also build sexual tension.

Again, it’s very easy to learn because it builds on your natural strengths.

You just need to tweak the way you listen a little.

Here’s how you do it.

While listening, don’t be thinking of what to say next.

If you already know what to say or ask before she’s done talking, you won’t be able to build sexual tension naturally.

Instead, when listening, keep eye contact and build a picture of what kind of a person she is based on the information she gives you.

Once she’s done talking, KEEP EYE CONTACT, and start thinking of what to say or ask next.

Yes, you will think about your next comment or question WHILE keeping eye contact, and only after she’s done talking.

Because of that, there will be a pause in the conversation. That pause combined with eye contact creates sexual tension.

That’s all you need: eye contact plus a pause! No need for complicated routines and other techniques that make you feel like someone you’re not.

Touch her

Another way to create attraction and arousal is to use touch.

There are three ways you can touch a woman.

Social touch, seductive touch, and sexual touch.

Social touch is when you touch her in places that are socially acceptable. Like shaking hands, giving her a kiss on the cheek, touching her under arm when making a point, etc. You use social touch immediately when you first meet her. The purpose of this touch is to get her comfortable with your touch.

Seductive touch is when you touch her in places that a lover would touch her.

For example, touching her hair, holding her hand, putting your hand on her waist, etc.

You only use seductive touch once she’s comfortable with your social touch.

Sexual touch is used when you start touching her erogenous parts. For example, touching her breasts. That’s usually done later in the dating process.

You only use sexual touch once she’s comfortable with your seductive touches.

By gradually escalating your touch in these different areas, she’ll start to feel more and more aroused.

Especially when you go into seductive touching. That’s because these are places that she has only been touched by previous boyfriends or lovers. These touches act like anchors. They’ll evoke those feelings of arousal. It’s like when you hear one of your favorite songs from when you were a teenager. The song catapults you back in time, and you’ll feel like a teenager again.

Conclusion

Most dating advice is telling you to behave like an extrovert, deploy PUA tactics, or act like a bad guy.

This just doesn’t work for introverts. It makes you feel like you have to become someone you’re not.

The best way to become successful with women and dating is to leverage your existing strengths and then add new skills that build on your strengths.

One of your biggest strengths as an introvert is to connect with people. Your listening skills are key in this.

But you need more than a connection to get the girl. You also need attraction and arousal.

This post showed you how to add a new dimension to your listening skills, so you can also use them to build attraction and arousal.

Furthermore, I showed you the importance of touch and physical escalation.

We talked about the three types of touches: social touch, seductive touch, and physical touch.

It’s critical that you learn how to use all three of them, and it’s even more critical to know exactly when to use them.

If you want to know more about how and when to use escalating touch, or if you want 100 more dating tips like the three you’ve just read, I’ve included a killer bonus package for you in my bio below.
