The Rawness

Someone sent me this Saturday Night Live clip from March that they thought was relevant to this post.

Thought it was funny enough to put up. Given the fact that it’s a recent Saturday Night Live clip, actually, just the fact it had any funny moments made it noteworthy. Amy Poehler does a decent job with the Hillary impression, where even though she doesn’t quite nail the voice she totally gets the mannerisms and nuance. The guy imitating Obama isn’t even close; it’s downright embarassing.  Is he even trying?!

….but I just love this video. Dizzee Rascal featuring Bun B, “Where the G’s”:

Watch this video:

You ever feel like society’s attempts at taking the risk out of everything are also sucking out all the spontaneity and funtoo?

I consider myself to have a decent grasp on human behavior and why people do the things they do. I spend a lot of time thinking about it, and even if I don’t know the cause of something for sure, I usually have at least a half-baked theory to throw out there.

Take attraction between men and women. Men basically judge women primarily on how hot they are. There are other factors too, but for the average guy, if a woman is hot enough he will start disregarding just about every other personality flaw she has at least until the novelty of her hotness wears off and her more irritating secondary aspects start becoming more noticeable.

Women, however, look more for a mix of things. Looks are important, but so are power, status, confidence, ability to provide security, social intelligence, leadership, rapport, independence and wealth.

That being said, I simply cannot understand this site. As someone very knowledgeable about the creature known as the guido, I’ve never been able to understand their ability to attract hot (although admittedly trashy) women. Many of them live at home, don’t have high status jobs, ruin any natural good looks they had with burnt orange tans and weird spiky hair and many of them still live at home and live off their parents, meaning the level of independence is pretty low.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
