Real Modern Man

By now you may have heard about Mr George Sodini, a computer programmer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who was fed up with being called a “nice guy.”

And did something about it.

Unfortunately, for everyone involved, shooting up a health club was NOT the right thing to do.

Sodini left a blog as well, with all sorts of details. It was his diary. His thoughts. A cursory overview of just as little as the media will let us see shows us an angry, desperate man, seriously out of touch with himself, with women, and with modern society at large.

The saddest part of the whole episode is that it’s totally unnecessary for any man with an internet connection to wallow in this state. Sure, George Sodini most likely had an old-fashioned upbringing. He probably didn’t have a terribly happy childhood, and almost certainly his parents were a little out of whack Children learn their social skills somewhere after all, and the usual place is in their home. He certainly didn’t know how to handle women.

But none of that – excuse my language – bullshit matters.

He was a man. No matter what society allows for anyone else, Franco, Joseph and I believe the hallmark of a man is taking responsibility for his actions.

If you’re reading this article, and anything that George Sodini wrote resonates with you, you need to get your game on point, RIGHT NOW. I don’t give a shit whether you continue to read Real Modern Man or not. I don’t give a shit whether this post pisses you off. I don’t give a shit about your lame excuses about why you won’t Take. Action. Now. to get right with yourself and get right with women.

YOU have even less excuse than George Sodini: you’ve been exposed to the technology you need to succeed with women.

YOU have the material you need to succeed. If not here on Real Modern Man, then just do a damn Google search on “seduction” or something. There’s thousands of web pages… more than you could ever read. Hundreds of products… more than you could ever need.

Go. Do it now. Get it together. No excuses.

For the rest of you gentlemen, which I hope and trust is the vast majority of you, we’ll be back to our (ir)regularly scheduled programming ricky tic.

And ladies: don’t tell a man he’s a “nice guy.” Tell him he needs to brush his teeth, or use a breath mint, or trim his nose hairs, or wear more fashionable shoes, or whatever. When you tell a man he’s a “nice guy” or a “good man” you’re not thinking of him at all. You’re selfishly brushing him off because you don’t have the courage or manners to politely and discreetly tell him the truth. And if you just can’t summon the courage, don’t say anything at all.
