Flakes and Floozies

-
For our purposes today, flakes does not mean hair dandruff. This is not a shampoo promotion article. No, flakes and floozies are people whom verbally or in writing commit to an action, event or future gathering, yet bail and FLAKE out. Thus a no show. Floozies are people, whom rsvp to an event, and floozie with a non appearance. Floozies are girls whom give your their phone number, show keen desire to eventually go out on a real date, yet never actually do.
Think for a moment, I would strongly bet, every single person knows a flake or a floozie.
Unfortunately I myself am sometimes guilty of floozy and flaky behavior. For example, this morning as an uncle, my younger's brother 2nd child had a birthday today. To my credit, this baby's birthday social did carry a 10:30 AM Sunday morning start time. In the lifestyle of a wanna-be single bachelor like myself, Sunday mornings after an eventful Saturday night of liquor shots, cocktails, bars, and girls chasing is required human sleep and recovering time. Sunday mornings are a bachelor's vampire hours, and an A.M. time block when day-light is a deathly weapon. An Afternoon nephew party social, would have been preferred.
Regardless, we as humans are not perfect. We try to keep to our word, promises and responsibilities, in earnest. Yet things don't always work out as planned.
Are flakes and floozies evil people? Not necessarily. My humble suggestion to people of the flake and floozy variety, is to be more honest and forthcoming. Straight up! If your friend doesn't want to come over and spend time with you, he should be direct and just say no. If a client, doesn't want help or work from a real estate agent, they should just say, I don't want to be helped. If a pretty girl is NOT interested in you, then she should just say, "your not my type" and move-on. No guy enjoys being led on by a chick. When its comes to females, the question is, do you like us or not? We men, would prefer a painful honest no, than a succession of expensive dates that get to zero-ville.
Politicians are often flakes and floozies because rarely do their campaign promises come to fruition. Candidates love to cast dreamy policies, yet does anything ever actually happen? Sometimes I guess.
I think the moral of our flake and floozy theme is to avoid being one. Do not do it, if you can spare it. Do not be such a flake and floozy that you earn a reputation as one. That would be even more dire and unappealing. Just be honest, and if you know in your gut that it's not going to happen, Just damm say so. Honest, direct, clear communication will save people time, heartache, worry and money. Just the facts.

Real Estate Agent Insights

To the outside world, I often wonder what is society's perception of the working realtor lifestyle? Do consumers simply think we sip latte coffees, go shopping, drive fancy cars, and collect hefty commission checks ? Are realtors just well connected "socialites" whom seek rich friends to sell homes? Is the public aware that a real estate agent's work can be very challenging, and carries a zero dollar base salary? I think consumers forget, that working realtors in general are a happy, fun, driven, and helpful collection of professionals. Realtors have an inner desire to be their own boss. Real Estate Agents are folks whom are instigators, and want to make things happen! Successful real estate agents are self promoters, avid workers, and posses conversational, relate-able, human people skills. To become a truly successful realtor, it requires a combination of different skills. A Real Estate Agent has the traits of a salesmen, business development guru, therapist, ...

A Man's Own Merit.

When does a male, truly transform from a child, adolescent, and youth, into a legitimate full grown man? Should "manhood" be considered a physical achievement? Is "manhood" achieved once a state of adulthood, responsibility and grown-up level is conquered? Is "manhood" acquired once a male has become a rainmaker and created his own family? A family, for example with a wife and children? When is a male officially a truthful, gentle, full legitimate grown MAN? I am simply curious? In my humble opinion, a man's own merit is achieved at different time levels for each us. For example, let us a say a young boy, loses his father tragically to death at a youthful age. To such sadness as say war, a traffic accident or medical loss. If a youth under the age of 18, loses his father to death, this would probably force the boy to grow up faster than is necessary. Sometimes a man, must grow out of his father's shadows and legacy. For example, when P...

The INNER Agenda

What are the REAL reasons, why people do things? Are they caring, giving, selfless souls OR are they of the capitalist mindset and always think, "What's in this for me?" For example, the honorable giving soul is one whom volunteers and give backs to their community. Perhaps this person is a manager and their agenda is to help guide and assist the workers below them. A person with no agenda, simply helps others for the sake of their inner soul and good deed morals. An example of a few no inner agenda occupations could be teachers, priests, social workers, volunteers, rehabilitation counselors, etc. These occupations tend to lead to selfless, non-capitalist motivation. These specific types of humans, may possess a genuine caring mindset. Personally for me, and for better or worse, I have been heavily gravitating towards the "How does George Vance" benefit from this mindset. Lately, in my professional work and personal life, I consciously perform actions ...
