Money...Power...Sex???

I have NO reason to engage in some ego boosting POWER TRIP. I'll leave the power trips to those who need to try to enhance their self esteem via the projection of some sort of power.

Alucard doesn't need a 'power trip' he has a morality trip to get him what he needs.

95% of the time money and power go hand in hand. Sex is a totally different animal.

There are three basic rules of power:

Do A or else B will be to you. (Ie, punishments) Do A and B will be done for you. (Ie, rewards) Do A for it is righteous. (Ie, how to get good christian people to kill (abortion) doctors.)

Alucard plays rule three all the time.

"Gold, Guns, Girls"?

In any case, it seems to me that alutard likes "powerless" trips. The process seems to be:

a) provoke fights knowing that he is going to get demolished b) get demolished (as expected) c) cry that he is being demolished not due to the fact that he is fuckhead, but because he is suffering for his righteous d) see c) elicits any sympathy from others, preferable motherly females

I suspects it's something he got away with when young, and became a pattern he repeated throughout his life. Even now when he is pushing 60.

@deogol: I like "Robert Greene"'s books as well. I don't really take the "philosophy" angle too seriously, but his books are great for all the historical tales they tell. (I am guessing that a raw history book would not sell as well, so he mixes it up with the second-coming of Machiavelli message).

Robert Greene put on a seminar where I work a few years back. In person he definitely looks like a bookish/nerdy type. I was joking afterward that even though he wrote "Art of Seduction" he probably has just an average ability to get laid. Pretty nice guy in person.

Art... or should I say Pervo-oilman... You are the most normal dude in the world for gettin' a woody over those dinars. Money is power if you gots it -- 'cos other folks want it! If the folks who want it happen to been super hot (18+ of course) teen or early 20s girls who are willing to do whatever it takes to get some... let's jes' say I'm gettin' a woody thinking 'bout that!

Damn, wasn't quite keeping up my vernacular there. Intended to say "...'cos other folks wants it!" Can't even blame it on autocorrect, it was just me slipping out of character.

But the sentiment be in the "true dat" category. There is a reason Tony Stark gets the chicks. Well, one reason is that he is a fictional character, and shit like that happens in the funny pages and the movies. But the character is a billionaire philanthropist genius and general badass. And chicks dig that shit. O' course, some mostly dig the billionaire part. Kinda make me wanna be a billionaire!

I think I'd be happy living on $30,000 a year if I could get good, steady sex for free.

It's really simple actually. Power = sex. Alpha-males of any species have their pick of females. Money just makes power more convenient.

Money, Power, Respect

Well then I guess it's a good thing central banks are printing so much money these days. More power, respect and sex for everyone!

@farmerart:

I've had the same thoughts. I'm not in your league but I am somewhat above the annual income level our glorious Preident believes should be paying more taxes. I'm guessing that would make me better capitalized than 49 of 50 men in any given strip club on any given night.

Money doesn't talk in a strip club; it screams! The girls will figure out who has the money by how they spend it. They can also tell how well educated a man might be in 5 minutes over a drink by listening to him talk. That is often a good barometer on how much disposable income they may have. The word will travel. I know I'm rarely sitting alone in a strip club. The moment one girl gets up, another one almost immediately comes by. I know it isn't because I look like Tom Cruise. Probably has more to do with the fact I never walk into a strip club with less than $300 cash in my pocket.

My collection of gold coins is only 7 but I have a MS-65 condition 1909 VBD-S penny that is my pride and joy!

Henry Kissinger, a short, squat, Secretary of State married a tall statuesque former model. When asked about the obvious, he said," power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."

I don't man. Many on here seem to have okay money, but few on here seem to be any good with women. So the equation is not completely straightforward.

And to make it even funnier the few I suspect actually are good with women (and not just FOS/fantasizing/try to project an image), tend to be the ones I don't think have alot if money (at least not yet).
