To be honest I doubt anyone gives a f**k. Unless Winston is secretly a rapist or a murderer any kind of drama he had with this woman is between them. She was probably a headcase as well, she looks it at least.CheezeRaider wrote:Good post Rock. You spoke my mind.
I just wanted to add I had contemplated defending Robin as Winston has tried to tarnished her name. I said I would not speak of his past with her so I wont. I gave my word. In a he said she said world, Robin is not a forum member to defend all this alligation.
Through all Winstons actions, we can all obviously see why they broke off their relationship. So I simply did not have to do anything, as our poster boy dug his own grave
Why is it so difficult to understand that some people prefer their privacy. I have a facebook account. My picture is on it. Neither my wife or my son are pictured anywhere on my account. Why? Privacy. Even those i've "friended" on FB can't see my family. What info on me is actually listed on FB? I'm a male. That's it. Why don't i post pictures of my wife here? On this site? Because i respect my wife's wishes and her privacy as well.Winston wrote: Rock,
Another thing you kept repeating was when I took your photo, and you kept telling me over and over again, "Please don't post my picture online ok?! Please make sure." Ummm, ok. I mean, how many times did I have to reassure you? Once should have been enough. But you are unduly paranoid and panicky about having people see you or know who you are? Why?
How come other people aren't that paranoid about being publicized? It's like you have something to hide, or like you have a lot of skeletons in your closet, or have been burned before by people you trusted. You are tall and Aryan looking, so I don't know why you are so scared and sensitive about such things, more than others are. How can I, an overly sensitive person and shorter guy, be braver than you in this area?
I mean, gosh, you won't even tell me your first and last name, no matter how long I know you. It's like you have a lot to hide or something, like you have a dark dark past. Most guys I've known are not like that.
Now, I know you have a right to privacy and all, but when you are so secretive about everything, it's like you are living in fear with a lot to hide. That's the impression I get. How can your friends get to know you or become close to you, or even trust you, if you're like that? See what I mean?
Furthermore, since I don't know your name, your past, your identity or your past records, how can I know anything about you or how credible you are? Trust has to be earned. It is not a free gift. How do I know if you are really a "successful businessman who became financially independent through honorable means"? I can't know can I? I'd have to check your references, employment records, talk to your former bosses, coworkers, close friends, etc. to really know you and how you came to be the man you are now. Otherwise, you are a secretive mystery man to me. Do you understand my position?
I simply can't know anything without evidence to go on. All I know is that one way or another, you are financially independent in that you don't have to work and you can travel around all day and hop on a plane anytime you want. But as to how you got there, I have no data or evidence. You could have horrible dark secrets and I wouldn't know about it, right? Maybe you have help or are dependent on someone. How can I know? With a "mystery man" you simply can't know anything.
Yet you seem to expect people to trust you as though your credibility were a given, even though you are highly secretive about your past and have no record or references to check. Isn't it unrealistic and illogical to expect that?
Hope you understand my position.
Heck, even though I've known you for a long time, you won't even show me one picture of your Taiwanese girlfriend. Why is that? Are you that ashamed of her? Every other guy I know has shown me a pic of his girlfriend or wife. So what logical reason is there to be secretive about that? I don't get it.
Anyway guys, I am way behind on work so I have no time to respond to every thread and post here.
As an aside, I was very surprised that you invited me meet up with a certain person (unmentionable now) when I was in Angeles as if he was your good buddy. You had previously spent many months preaching to the forum about what an evil character this guy is.
It means something when you compare the correlations between identical twins and fraternal twins separated at birth. And yes I agree, that although your genetics make up a lot of behavior, you can direct it within the window allowed by your genes.odbo wrote:I think he means the first 20 years of his life. Winston said he struggled in high school and college despite making numerous efforts to approach girls.
As a truth seeker I realize free will is largely an illusion and genetics plays a huge part. Academia pushing that nurture is more important than nature is politically motivated junk science. However that is no excuse for putting no effort into raising your child. Success is not based on genetics. Winstons son might not change the world, but that doesn't mean he has to grow up to be a bum.
As for twins, that hardly proves anything. Twins carry a strong bond. We dumb slaves were also taught that the mind creates consciousness, but more and more of us are concluding that consciousness comes from outside in.
Why don't you post a link to a study or two. I think environment plays a huge role in behavior. If you separated 2 identical twins at a very early age, sent one to the Congo during blood diamond era to be a child soldier and sent the other into a strict Salt Lake City LDS family, you can be sure they would be 2 drastically different individuals behavior wise by the time they hit 18.Hook wrote:
BTW, Winston is correct about genetics making up a majority of behavior. It has been proven multiple times with identical twin studies where they were separated at birth.
Certain things like height, physical appearance, raw intelligence, and predisposition towards certain illnesses are normally driven primarily by genetics. But environment has a dominant impact on a person's perception of the world, beliefs and values, motivation, and intellectual development. Anything bad which happens during formative years will often scar someone emotionally, sometimes even physically, often for life. Parents, siblings, and peers have a huge impact on how a person develops between 0 and 18 years of age.Hook wrote:It means something when you compare the correlations between identical twins and fraternal twins separated at birth.

I never said that I was a virgin in America. I said that 99.99 percent of my days in America was sexless. That's what I mean by a sexless life. Just because I find a girlfriend once every few years or get lucky once in a blue moon doesn't change that. 99 percent of the time, I have no dating choices and I am miserable, frustrated and deprived of love, sex, and romantic dates, the kind you see idolized in movies where the couples are happy, in love, cuddling, and laughing and giggling, etc. Being constantly unsatisfied is suffering, even if your other needs are met. This is especially true if you are a guy who thrives on passion, like I am.Hook wrote:After looking closer at your bio from the original link, I don't quite understand something. You said in your book that you were dateless for 20 years. But according to your bio you went out with the Viet girl, Robin, and the Wiccan girl. That doesn't sound dateless to me. And you must have had sex with Robin and the Wiccan, so you weren't sexless either.
