Another reason I love Clint Eastwood.

I highly recommend his new one, Gran Torino, as much of it seems to be about the very subject of the “pussy generation.”

totally agree!
I love the coined term ‘pussy generation’, I was actually saying same thing for some time now, but I used to call it ‘weaklings generation’.

I have many good friends that are weaklings inside, they have never faced a real ordeal and they wouldn’t take care of it alone, they’d expect someone else to do the job for them, whatever it’d be.
I don’t want to dwell on the matter too much. You get the gist I suppose.

Anyway I think that knowing (and understanding) what to do is the most important step to self-improvement. Thanks to that, any time you slip you’ll be able to pull yourself back together again, and get back on the track.

That’s a great site, keep up the good work!

Brett!

Thanks for including the link to my weekly STP worksheet. I am glad you found the resource useful and made it known to your readers. What a great MANLY site you have here. I’ve bookmarked it and will now be better prepared to increase my manliness.

I like how you’ve put the focus back on getting to it rather than sitting around and thinking about it, planning for it, and dreaming about it. Let’s go…time to move on. One of my favorite quotes from Karen Lamb – “A year from now you will wish you had started today.”

Blessings on a great 2009!

I especially liked the part about Ben Franklin’s personal quest for morality and how he broke it down into a chart to measure his progress every day. As a matter of fact I researched it more online and created my own 52 week chart of the 13 virtues that I use to highlight my daily shortcomings and give me something to work on for the next day.
For 2009 I want to live with the mindset that my actions affect more than just myself and try harder to be a better man starting from the inside.

The pussy generation started in the 60’s, when you had to be ’soft and sensitive” to get laid, and extended into the feminist movement where getting to know you femine side could get you laid. That’s why it’s called the pussy generation, be cause men changed their basic manliness to get laid.

The end of the year is always my favorite time of the year to find articles on becoming a better man/person. It seems like goal setting is huge, and visualizing is even bigger (or it’s just a fad). Not sure on that one yet.

Spencer Nickson, I’m not sure what you are trying to say… it sort of sounded just like a woman. But you know what they say, better to be a dick than a pussy.
