Has anybody seen the movie
Casino? If yes, I\'m sure you can see how Robert DiNero or Joe Pesci both become powerful in Vegas. If no,
basically, two guys become powerful in Vegas through mostly illegal means, but it all revolves around money and
power. I am in high school, and frankly I want to be Robert DiNero of Casino in school. I want to walk in and know
that I own the place. Now PI, I\'m sure would help me with this. But in the end, it all revolves around money.
Does anybody know how I can make money, then pay people to back me up, or do things for me? Money is the key here, I
need it. A grocery store job or any common teenager job just isn\'t enough.

OK...I thought about it for a bit
and I know what you need. You need to save up some money and get yourself a shiny space ship. Think how cool you
will look when your sparkly ship lands on the school grounds and you exit wearing a gold sparkly space suit with
really cool looking sun glasses. The chicks would go nuts!
Space ship = POWER!

Or for the low-budget

is invisible. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Personally, I\'d shoot for the Robert DeNiro in real
life. But that\'s me.
Rupert Pupkin--you wanna pattern yourself after somebody? There\'s
the guy! He had such a great sense of style. And that mustache!
You could go for a Jake Lamotta vibe, but then
you\'d have to gain like 300 lbs. a few years down the road.
Or how about Travis Bickle? Nah, bad
idea...

Dude -
you realize that it was just a movie, right? Also, do you realize that Joe Pesci\'s character ended up getting
beat to death with a baseball bat, and DeNiro\'s character got blown up?
Anyway, I think that, in terms of
characters portrayed by Robert DeNiro on film, you\'re more on your way to becoming Travis in Taxi Driver than Abe
in Casino.
Holmes

Again, Travis = Bad Idea. The

I am surprised that nobody has
thought of this. Maybe Machorito can start his own one man band. Women love musicians. It wouldn\'t have to cost
that much. A couple of spoons, a garbage pail lid, some shells in a coffee can. This could really work.
Holmes
11-15-2003, 06:39 AM
Funny, I was just thinking the
same! Here\'s what you do: learn to play one or two chords on the guitar (or a little OOH AH OOH-OOH AH on the
drums). Write some sophomoric anthems about getting laid. Put on some face paint and platforms. Have action figures
made in your own likeness. And for God\'s sake, mate, stick out your tongue!
Oh, the millions you\'ll
make.
Then, you can write a book and brag about all the women you may or may not have slept with.

not in any DeNiro character, but instead in breathing fire and singing in a fake, growly voice. The chicks dig that

Grow a beard.
(for thought they may not admit it here, all members fear
and love the beard in equal measures; some do not understand it, but accept its power. And chicks LOOOVE it. Just
ask Elana. When I shaved off my ZZTop effort, she locked me underneath the sink with the bleaches until I grew
another one.)

Manchorito:
When I was your age I felt the same way. In high school I was fairly
poor and a geek. Did all the science classes, got good grades and held a job. As a result, the cool guys picked on
me. My short temper led me into quite a few fights. It took a while and a few black eyes to learn that it is a fight
you cannot win!
An older friend convinced me that marshal arts would help me win more fights and got me
involved. By time I was a junoir, I could hold my own against almost anybody but had no desire to fight any longer.
The a$$holes I thought were important had become trifles as I grew to realize how shallow and insignificant they
really were. I had learned to respect myself and my own accomplishments and no longer needed to prove anything to
anybody.
I am not telling you to get involved in marshal arts, that is only one of many paths to self
respect. It\'s the self respect you need to develop. From reading your posts you are not dumb and you seem to have
a good heart. The things you want are the same ones we all want but they are earned, there\'s no free lunch. A
desire for revenge will only take you down the same pathway those who pick on you are taking. Do you really want to
be like them? As your self respect grows, you\'ll find yourself involved with far more interesting people who will
treat you well because that is how you treat them. It all comes from doing your best, being honest both with
yourself and others and treating those around you with respect.
Of course, there is a lot more to developing
self respect than any of us could write in a single post or even a whole book. And earning self respect doe not mean
that you will always win. It does mean that you will have the respect and aid of those around you and when you
stumble, you\'ll have their help getting back up.

Wow, Belgareth. That was a

something like Belgareth with the Martial Arts in order to gain self respect. What hobbdy did you pick up to gain
self respect is basically what I am asking.

Thanks but I didn\'t pick up the hobby to gain self respect. I learned
through discipline and challenging myself that I am as good as anybody else and often better. It\'s a way of
living, a belief about life. I learned to be more concerned with what I thought of myself and to behave with honor
under every circumstance. That sounds pompous but it is true. Why do you care what those clowns think of you?
Aren\'t you above that? Life is far too short to play silly a$$ed little games that don\'t accomplish a damned
thing. If you are always concerned with being the best human being you can be you\'ll eventually learn to
recognize those people who harrass you for the clowns they really are. At the same time, you\'ll gain the respect
if the majority of people.
Women don\'t want a wimp who is always trying to please others, nor do the want an
angry one who is out for revenge. They want a man who is self reliant, kind and caring, one they can trust. There
are a lot of guys on the forum who are going to argue the point but why take their word for it? How many of them can
see the world from a woman\'s point of view or are in happy relationships? Ask the ladies here what they find most
attractive in a man, they are the ones who know.

The marial arts are great for developing both discipline and self respect.
Me, I got on the high school debating team (later ther university debating team) to gain confidence. I also took
a lot of dance lessons, and learned to PROJECT an image of allure and of self respect. After a short while, you
believe in the image, and it becomes real at a gut level. Once you believe it,, so does everybody else.

Manch, just
chill out with the power and the women. Don\'t even pursue those things. The other things may or may not follow,
but either way, you will realize a source of happiness that is not dependent on the approval of others.
Try
and focus on what you like about yourself. Be proud of those things. Also look at what you do not like about
yourself. Figure out what fears those things are stemming from.
That won\'t do everything for you, but it
is a start.

Despite all the joking around, they have told

First you learn to respect yourself. Everything else
follows after that.
Stop looking for quick fixes to your frustration. They don\'t exist. Just start doing
things for yourself and don\'t worry about what other people think.
That is such good advice, and it seems like
no one ever takes it until they hit rock bottom. Me included, kiddo.

Exactly
Manch, I think the upshot is that
you are gonna find out that after high school, most of the jock high school heroes will be instant nobodies.
You
will also find that most worthwhile woman are NOT impressed with machismo-- quite the contrary, in fact. They want a
genuine, kind, intelligent, sensitive man who is utterly himself. Not a posturing, testosterone-intoxicated
[censored].
And, as we\'ve told you before-- if sucking up to popular jock assholes makes you feel bad...
DON\'T. It\'s really that easy. Vote them invisible. Blow them off. Their power is limited by the walls and
years of the school.
Most people end up choosing to forget their high school years for good reason.

And, as we\'ve told you before-- if sucking up to popular jock assholes makes you feel bad... DON\'T.
It\'s really that easy. Vote them invisible. Blow them off. Their power is limited by the walls and years of the
school.
Most people end up choosing to forget their high school years for good reason.

Popular shouldn\'t be demonized.
As for Manch, he is just as
bad as the people he doesn\'t like. He compains about the popular kids using him and not really respecting him but
he is just using them and doesn\'t really respect them either.
There\'s no connection between being
popular and being a dick or growing ugly faster. Power simply exposes
a person\'s true character while a lack
of power hides it.

Manch, I
think the upshot is that you are gonna find out that after high school, most of the jock high school heroes will be
instant nobodies.
You will also find that most worthwhile woman are NOT impressed with machismo-- quite the
contrary, in fact. They want a genuine, kind, intelligent, sensitive man who is utterly himself. Not a posturing,
testosterone-intoxicated [censored].

Actually, you\'re right.
Popular should not be demonized. My apologies. Also, some popular kids were shitheads, others were pretty cool.
The dumb macho ones, though, often were no longer so sought after beyond graduation.

Take Panch,
for instance (actually, most of the ladies on this list WOULD take Panch). He\'s popular, on this list. Well
liked, and sought after. The fact that he\'s ripped and good looking has less to do with it than his intelligence,
wit, charm and common sense.
Wait! Ripped and good looking..... well, that MAY factor in heavily. <g>
