This is a small list of myths regarding males that need to disappear:
1. All men like to watch sports - Many men, including myself, find televised sport events to be highly tiresome, repetitive and stale in comparison to other entertainment types such as films, historical shows and science fiction just to name a few things.
2. All men want to only date pretty girls - This is perhaps the hardest to shake from all the myths in here. Many so-called men like to brag of getting the best of the best when it comes to women - all for satisfying a narcissistic point of view. Many men, however, will not only date, but will marry women who will seem sub-standard to the common society member. Many men even find pretty girls to be highly obnoxious, tedious and egocentric.
3. All men like to drink a lot - There's men who are teetotalers - i.e. don't drink alcohol. Some men drink little amounts, in which once again, I can include myself.
4. Men aren't emotional - When remembering failures, when thinking of their own hardships or even those of other people, or when seeing a sentimental piece of art, men can also show emotions and have empathy towards other sentient beings.
5. Men like discussing sexual escapades with women - Though not a myth per se, many women seem to disregard the fact that men, for the most part, dislike hearing about women's other relationships. Men hate to talk about the past when it comes to relationships, as simple as that.
6. Men don't mind being big, but want their women to be small - the last of the relationship myths here, some men have also worries about their weight just as some women do too. On the other hand, some men don't mind being heavy, or having heavy women next to them.
7. Men are filthy and disorderly by nature - depending on their concept of attractiveness, obsessive cleanliness, or upbringing, many men love to be clean - esp. with their person.
8. Men love to be profane in their talk - from a personal point of view I highly dislike profanity. Even when highly infuriated, I try to dismiss profane language as much as possible, as excessive or constant profanity is tasteless, tacky, and demeaning to the speaker as well as to the listener.
9. Men only seek gratification - a perpetual myth spread by the distorted wave of new feminism. Many men, like I said above, feel emotions, and are willing to sacrifice their pleasurable past-times for the sake of others, including women.
And lastly...
10. Men want the toilet seat up - perhaps the most real of the myths, it is said that women want the seat down, men want the seat up - again, from a personal point of view, it's not completely true!!!

My problem with YouTube
We all know the diverse content of the world-famous website YouTube. Music videos, scenes of films, of T.V. shows, funny videos, and other things are shown here. It can be a very intense experience when seen by the people that enjoy such content. Even though there's lots of interesting things in YouTube, I personally believe this website has defiled the internet in some ways, of which I'll list the top 3:
My problem here is this: while there's no real harm in the exposition of opinions and ideas, many of these so-called vloggists only seek some form of invalid fame, opportunities, and even money while doing endless rants or complaints towards a set of people, customs and organization, among other things. This is rather low in terms of validation and credentials, as these people simply try to bypass those artists who are constantly trying to progress in different artistic careers but who happen to do so in the classical way - i.e. without the need of technology and globalization. This, in turn, has contributed to a landmass of people with a penchant for whining, which in turn, can create a rather chronic depressing attitude.
Bragging about a crime a uploading this on YouTube is but a staple of a low IQ. Showing off what you stole, like the video titled "Chick Bank robber" will only serve to get you caught. Regardless of the justice done due to the actions of stupid criminals, such videos can be inspiring for petty criminals, which of course helps neither society as a whole, or their relations in specific.
Since these negative people are now receiving a bigger audience than their foolish brains can handle, they in turn become more unapologetic and rowdy in their personalities. Thus, a negative behavior is being indirectly reinforced, as there's more available means to connect a negative person with another, just by the click of a video.
1. It creates a space for trivial and time-wasting content.
Video blogging, or vlog for short, is of the most popular ways of giving some sort of media to internet users. In these channels, there's people that talk about random stuff and which they give their convoluted opinion, often in the midst of a whole chant and seemingly strange comments in the middle of the place. Even though there's little educational material to obtain from such videos, they seem to be one of the most popular content in YouTube.My problem here is this: while there's no real harm in the exposition of opinions and ideas, many of these so-called vloggists only seek some form of invalid fame, opportunities, and even money while doing endless rants or complaints towards a set of people, customs and organization, among other things.

2. It enables negative/stupid people to expose and give a platform to their useless and harmful views.
On March 31, 2017, many powerful companies, among them Wal-Mart, ceased to advertise in You-Tube after to a specific article written by the Washington Post denounced a multitude of prejudiced videos in which the uploaders freely exposed their discriminatory views both in the video titles and the content, against people of different ethnic origins, religions, and other basic characteristics of identity. This caused a reduction or complete annulment of video monetizing for the rest of the people in YouTube, hence there were many requests towards viewers to donate to many content creators who genuinely and with effort created content for the well-being of their audiences.Bragging about a crime a uploading this on YouTube is but a staple of a low IQ.

3. It makes 15 minute fame out of talentless people.
Chewbacca Mom, Ruby and other viral videos show a complete lack of talent and merit to otherwise famous people. This 15 minutes of fame, named after Andy Warhol's remark, have grown from being a curious phenomena to an outward pathetic attempt at fame. Despite the popularity, these people only show a lucky strike when their videos quiet down, not unlike a one hit wonder. Unfortunately, this has a negative side effect. Now, it seems highly special to discipline a child in front of the camera, but this can cause a major havoc to the child. Just like the girl who cried to go to McDonald's, these children have a staggering mark that's widely known to many. This is what it is to upload to YouTube, that private matters can become powerful.
In short, YouTube can become both an escape, or a mixture of tar and glue to the spectator. While I admit that I constantly watch videos on the website, the truth is, the less time I spend on the comments section in there, the better my day is.

Why cell phones suck
As of today, I don't have a cell phone. I've never had one. I don't want to. They're a waste, an equivalent to an annoying friend or a fastidious wanna be lover. They should turn phone addicts into zombies so the cancer won't spread, just like the book by Stephen King. I'm sure Martin Cooper regrets his contribution a bit after now.
They used to be a symbol of progress when it was progress being done. That was back when they looked more like a tough man's radio than a little kid's electronic toy. Back then they were really something. It showed that people were moving on with communications. Now, they're more of an excuse to do something alone than a real gadget. I wish cell phones would self destruct!
The way they are, they're smarter than most of their users. They seem to possess some sort of nasty hypnotizing power that the weak minded fall into. I have to clarify they're good for business. For the business of the cell phone companies, that is.
They trap people into meaningless conversations. They update people of others' details, whether or not you want to know. They drive some into leaving their accompanist into feeling alone. They can drive someone mad. They cause cancer. They are cancer.
Cell phones are a distraction to the important parts of life. The parts that don't come often, the one's that don't do what they're supposed to. I really have a sort of allergy to these things. They have no real sense of assistance. I hate them.
Even the great movie Powder said so. It’s become appallingly clear that our technology has surpassed our humanity.
