Whenever did your "feelings" do anything for you? For me, never did me good. Last night as I was lying in bed, I thought of turning off my feelings they dhadnt done me any good and ramping up my rationalization.

The only time your feelings are useful is when you work on something or you are getting ready to work on something that could be successful. You know, when you, your friend, and whoever else you work on something with is seeing your work succeed and come to life. Or your favorite team winning or lifting pass the weight you previously lifted. You get a hit of testosterone. Even then, you've rationalized the possible outcome(s). Of course, let loose sometimes and enjoy yourself. This world is literally trying to kill the masculine nature of men by indoctrinating us into this feelings based soyboy mentality by covering up the truth. Young men need to be told that what you do as a man that matters, don't white knight, be taught female nature (especially in the current climate of dating, sex, relationships, marriage, and divorce), watch out for snakes, get use to pain and not give into pain (suicide). Even Jesus said you should pick up the sword instead.

Always rationalize, never emotionalize. 10 times out of 10 you'll get yourself in trouble if you don't, especially with women.
