Physical attraction fades overtime

So i was at mass today and heard one of the most powerful gospels ever. Physical attraction fades overtime. Its hard for us not to consider physical attraction as physical attraction contributes to money and power. Money and power are the basis for being successful in a capitalist country. I believe that most of the relationships today are based on physical attraction. Physical attraction degrades overtime.

Relationships are formed based on attraction to give each party a considerable feeling of a sense of power. Thats what most Americans consider a successful relationship in this capitalistic economy. But its funny, how they become laughing stock to those in the outside world. With the growing number of pessimistic views towards marriage and growing divorce rate. I'm not surprised this is happening. No i will not choose a girl based on physical attraction. if i was to, like other guys then i might as well throw money down the drain. You see most of the needs that we in this capitalist country are based on short term needs. Women being needy on a short term basis wants a guy who is powerful and also handsome looking in order to satisfy their short term need and also at the same time add to their desire for money and power. You cant really blame them because they were raised that way. But its unfortunate how its promoted, and they will never realize it and find it taboo because that is the norm of society. We cannot change it as we cannot force our views unto others.

This is America. They will do what they were raised to do and accept the consequences. Its in my opinion a major con of being raised here. You see short term needs will only produce short term effects leading to short duration relationships. Which happens everyday. Hence why the pessism in todays society. So we back to physical attraction. Its the norm and it will stay that way. But, as a Catholic, that a woman is not just someone that meets my needs of intimacy, but someone as a gift from God whom i have a duty to protect and take care of. No im not one of those crazy catholics. I think its just normal that i should take care of a woman. Its just a duty that i dont see weird at all. I avoid anything short term, but focus on a long term reason. This is my solution for the drastic increase in divorces. If one would just educate themselves and careful think what their actions will be, something will come good out of this. You dont have to act the way you were raised. Success is not only based on money/power/ physical attraction.

Physical attraction fades overtime, but its not the priority factor basis in a relationship. Pick Goal Oriented people, kind, and ones that have a long term plan. Yes these people are hard to find. Im one of those in search of those people. they are certainly few of them here, but definitely a lot from the Philippines. Ive made a mistake before of delving into infatuation. I have learned this time. This gospel today is a reminder that i should never pay attention much to physical attraction, but on long term attributes that will serve a good long term investment. This is what my parents and grandparents have considered. Money and power lead to corruption and divorce. A good heart, goal oriented task, and good faith will replicate what was considered and will always will be the path to true happiness.

Got that feeling again..

Now that im settled now, on my way to the military and have a nice job. Somethings bugging me that i should get a girlfriend. Is it really time yet? I dont know i still have that belief that I will just meet her when i least expect it. I dont want to be searching right now, but somehow im being bugged inside about it. I need to really focus and not let this feeling distract me at all, but its starting to grow. I need to do something about it.

People whining about love and living between extremes

Too many people spend too much energy on looking for that right someone. They become picky. They do a survey of the person if he/she passes or not. Its unfair in my opinion. Ive seen too many blogs focusing on love and i get tired reading them. I think people should just enjoy life and be open to what God has to offer. Im not realy a picky person and i dont really focus on a girls looks but rather her personality. Girls get old physically but personality wise will always be there. Girls like to have that princess syndrome, and they focus on money which i think is not the key to happiness. Most people today look toward that temporary feeling of being rich. Ask yourself, so that now you are rich, what are your plans? Maybe its a western thing that people focus on money and power. There's much more to life than just money and power. Family, friends, coworkers are more with it in my opinion, and the real ones are those who appreciate your take in life. Girls shouldn't be whining because that guy with a million dollars isn't worth it in the beginning. You just want the money not the person. It means you are self centered and just setting up yourself for a nasty divorce. You're a good person but you just made a bad mistake. i hope you do learn even if it takes a couple of divorces for you to realize it. Or be single and make lots of money and get men like its not tomorrow. Everything will come to an end. This is a liberal society and one is not scared to breakoff a marriage in no time. I think we should be in the middle. Consertive and Liberal on certain issues. So if material things are measure of a man's success, how come so many high profile people live miserable lives. Yet, people who barely make ends meet somehow live a happy life. I think we should stick in between.. I think the path to success and happiness and service to society and building a healthy family physically and mentally that'll contribute to society. Hey its not the popular path chosen by people, but its sure is a well proven one with results

New Hair!

So i've been tired of the thick hair that i've had and going to the old tapered look. I think it fits me better. The barber said im back to being 12 years old. lol. but im liking the look so far maybe ill do the same look again for future haircuts :D

The Power of family

Family today isn't the traditional biological family that we are all used to. It could be extended families, including friends etc. As humans, we are not perfect in any way. People commit mistakes and they are bound to happen. With so many broken families today, there is a high correlation of it towards future problems when the young ones grow up. I guess i may classify myself as a family person. I do cherish my family everyday. Even though i don't really express how much i am appreciative about my family, i owe them a LOT. They got me where i am today and they mean all to me. Family first, as grandma always said. Don't let a family fall into pieces. Especially starting with the parents. I believe that strong family ties promote success driven individuals thatll later on use the techniques later in their career. One person cant act alone. In the end its the family that will back him/her up. Love your family. As a strong family, they are a force to reckon with. Its a good way to get started to get skills that'll help later on when you start a family. Adopt the traits and teach the family the same thing. the more we do this, the better the world will be. Will you join me in this cause?

Basis of a long lasting relationship

One of the greatest questions to myself is how will be able to avoid being part of the 50% divorce rate in this country later on. My grandparents were married for 64 years before my grandmother passed away last August. I consider their life as a total success, and im glad that i was a product of that success. I told myself whats the foundation of that success? how would i be able to replicate such success and implement it in modern times.

Today was Valentines Day. I was an altar server at church, and during the Homily, the priest asked those couples how long were they married. 50, 60, 40 years married and still together like they were still love at first sight. How come our generation is so different than them. Werent we supposed to be more open-minded and learned from past mistakes. Our current divorce rate is 50% and above and divorce is openly accepted in this society. As a product of my grandparents, I aways envied them. My grandfather was a model to me. Respect women because they are your treasure. Youre only entitled to one and treat her as the best as you can be. That is the measure of a real man. The measure of a real man here has a somewhat more superficial twist to it. You have to be tall, lots of money and power. Yet, how come celebrities always break up and remarry and break up over and over. I cant seen to understand this. Have we become a materialistic society to the point that were only concerned about getting richer and forgot that women actually have this thing called "feelings".

When i was young, i have witnessed nasty divorces and have observed them and i told myself, "I will not do this to my future wife". A woman has feelings, and keep in mind that since they were young i'm pretty sure that they wanted to have their own prince charming, but how would that prince charming consist of? a man of power and charm able to attract other women. Or would the ideal prince charming would be somewhat of a noble average looking man who will lay down his life for his true love. I was confronted with that whether which path i should take. But, i will take the path that my grandfather has taken many years ago and have resulted in a total success. Maybe 70 years later on, my grandson will find myself in the same situation that i am right now. One thing i know, is that i will teach and model to my grandson and son what my grandfather and father have taught me.

Success for me, is a family first. A women is a gift from God that i will fully treasure and respect beyond all means. Am i chivalrous? that'll depend on women. But i will be nice because i believe that women should be treated equally and respectfully, not like guys who are nice who get under their pants. Be nice and ask nothing in return. That is how i was taught. Im an average looking guy, but i have a big heart to offer. I believe a guy who focuses on treating a girl the right way by respecting her and treasuring her not just for self enjoyment but for an international cause. Also, a woman who appreciates a man like him and will work together as a team, they would last forever. Back then, divorce was made fun of, so i guess they were scared to do so. Now, its more openly accepted, but i think even though it maybe openly accepted, divorce could be avoided by carefully planning and thinking what a basis of a true relationship is. The elderly are there as a model for us. Theyve walked that path before and we should do the same. Even with this youth oriented country, we should seek from the past to answer future problems.

To end this post, i will put my 2 favorite quotes that i made myself. "Every woman is special and beautiful, but they dont realize it". This is not external in nature but also within. All women should be treated highly despite what background they have. This would guarantee you respect. Dont ask anything in return in what you do and teach other guys to do the same. 2nd, "the real measure of a man is how he owes up to his commitments and treats women in high regard". That for me is one of the final goals in a man's life. To do good and cherishing one gift from God. To treat her in high regard and for once in a lifetime make her feel the best as she can be. i will look for that woman and gladly die once i have served her well. God will be happy for me. I will be a model for other men and hopefully they do the same to others. This is only 1 shot in a lifetime.

I speak for the men and i think my grandfather is a perfect example of how a man should be. A woman is appreciate in return. They both work as a team and strive towards a goal and until death do us part. This is one of the goals in my lifetime. Get married and treat a lady in high regard and be with her until i die. I know im too young but starting young is great, as I have more time to discuss my mission with other people. Find a lady who's appreciate of a man's efforts not that what he has externally but what kind of heart does he offer and for long term emotionally and how both would contribute for a long lasting relationship. Put all tangible thing aside. That my friends i think is a key ingredient in forming the basis of a long lasting relationship.
