Its because Im a man of high value with a strong mind. The point is... stop being a soft little child, and no one will ever say things to hurt your little feelings. Hit the gym and get yourself a stronger body, this leads to a stronger mind. So politics, envy talk, and whatever tends to bring you down, are not the problem. The problem is you. Change you, and watch the world change for you. Time to disconnect and go lift some steel. Be strong. Be attractive.
And this is probably one of the worst statements I've ever read on here.

Here in the SF Bay Area, people don’t give a rat’s *** about material possessions since so many people are wealthy that they can have anything they want.The ones who constantly think and talk cars and keep theirs shiny are perceived as those who are trying too hard.

I have an XK since I admire the way it was put together.

By by the way I work in the automotive industry. We just bought an I-Pace

Sorry to be blunt, thats is a ridiculously ignorant comment- on many levels.
Your uninformed generalization is that people buy cars to give a perception of wealth. Or they keep their cars shinny to keep up appearances.
Lets dispel that easily, and the answer will offer some clues to why people covet cars.
Bill Gates has 2 Porsche 959. Do you think he needs to broadcast he has money.
They are from 1988 worth $1million each. He has a 23 car garage with many other good ones.

Can you tell me why he has those 959's- and think cars and keep them shinny?

Also, regarding folks not caring about material possessions in the Bay area- lol
Google Monterey Car week- or go there, its one of the largest gathering of materialistic wealth in the world. Cars and homes.

My late brother-in-law once told me that "he loved living in the SF bay area because people there where so much nicer than any of the places he had lived". One of his examples was that others would let you in to traffic when exiting a gas station and smile doing it. I pointed out to him that I heard many more horns being blown and observed just as many finger salutes in traffic there as I did in my home Detroit area.

Our tribal nature generally makes people prone to competition.

People who don't give a rat's *** are non-confrontational and the last hope for civility. Sadly, they are surrounded and outnumbered by horses' asses and jackasses.

😆 30 mins a day in the gym is all everyone needs. Its hard work, but if Im gonna drive like a pornstar, I better look like one too. Our society has been slowly churning out weak men, raised with the idea that women like wimpy, brainy, guys with money. Guess what... they don’t like the wimpy part. Whining about how to deal with haters is schoolboy material. Actually, getting a car to impress is weak. Strip me of my house, car, and clothes, and all you will find is a good looking naked man who is happy with himself😉 And thats how you deal with the haters.

It makes perfect logical sense, as those who consider themselves right or good are least likely to be introspective.
Which is where the problem lies.
All these misunderstandings emanate from one thing; the inability to see the bigger picture with yourself in it.
If you are such a nice person why are you going out of your way to **** in the cat's milk.
If your are such a good person yourself why are so intolerant.

Get to the gym! Start lifting! Produce more Testosterone.

You need to exercise your brain muscle and be more circumspect of life- including your own.
The gentleman you are asking to produce more testosterone might be in his 80's more-on!
How long do think the vanity of testosterone last- its shorter than you think.
And what makes you think you are the only genius that has figured out lifting weights.

Dude you are in for a rude awakening.
Prison is full of good looking testosterone blowing their lives away.

Sir, he doesnt need a white knight to save him from reality. This is not about lifting weights. Its about self improvement. When you improve your body, your mind starts to also improve. Try it. Does it make you smarter? Of course not, but it makes you calmer, keen, and full of life, now that’s attractive to people. I know Im upsetting you, and for this I apologize. I do come off as arrogant online, but if we shared a couple of pints, I bet I could improve your life to a point, where you will get angry with yourself for not seeing it any sooner. Go home, get naked and ask yourself “Do I look masculine?” Then pick up a set of pink dumbells and work your way up! This is not false information. Its what erotica is made of. And who writes the most perverse erotica? Women. They want strong men, and thats why I listen to my 76 yr old dad, who still pumps iron. Anyway, I really do get peeved by wimpy men who wonder and cry about why they dont get sex, or why their coworkers wont ride with them. Its not your car, its not your house in the hills, and definitely not your Rolex. Its your smile, your attitude, your patience, your masculine energy. Its why some of us love to have pretty women around. Its their energy. So get to the gym!

Rude awakening? I woke up a long time ago. My other question is. Why is prison any of my concern? Childish comeback, I suppose. Gotta love it though, you're hating on me...😉

Prison proves your singular philosophy of life wrong.
Its full of testosterone. You could say that what we are imprisoning is testosterone.
How many women get into violent road rage- the difference is testosterone.

In fact, prison also proves another vital thing about testosterone; its a hormone that can make you settle for the less. Such as another man in jail.

I'm not sure if "do you even lift bro?" dude is even serious or is just a really good troll. That type of personality, when authentic, makes me happy I'm actually a lesbian. Me being gay is funny because it's the first thing that kind of guy assumes of any woman who doesn't go for him.

Actually its priceless and the most illuminating thing on this thread in answering WHY people make snarky comments in the first place.
Some people think their way is the only correct way.
That explains why others would look bad to them.

According to Brewtech personal appearance is everything.
So the old, injured or disabled, are "whimpy unattractive"
And he is not one that keeps opinions to himself.

Here you have it in a nutshell- no pun intended.

I'm just imagining Christian Bale flexing his arm into the mirror while performing activities in American Psycho.

I am imagining a pole dancer who believes she will be 25 forever.
