Yes, it is for HIM, because of the commitment level he CHOOSES to have.

I don't know where you are getting that part. He's explaining what he CHOOSES to put into it. Maybe you think that's shitty? Fine, and agreed. But he's not asking for sympathy. He's explaining why he does what he does.
The big bosses at my company are the same way. When you become director or VP, you pretty much forefit your life. They're putting in 60 to 70 hours at the office, plus they are always on call and reading their email when they are not at the office. I think no matter what the pay, I wouldn't do that. It's the reason I quit climbing the ladder at work - I saw my father in law's work life and what it did to the relationship between him and his son. [Reply]

He could have used better words true but my God calm down.
I think it's pretty cool to hear something like that especially from someone his age and who has accomplished as much as he has.

Like him, she has an inflated ego, and she probably thought this kind of stuff only happens to other people.
Yeah, guys like that NEVER quit. He's not Tony Romo, who famously said after a loss "If losing a sporting event is the worse thing that ever happens to me, have had a wonderful life" He's like Michael Jordan, with that inner drive just eating at him all the time, never quitting, never relenting [Reply]
Gotta admit...I just don't see it. What's all the hype about? :-)
I worked with a handful of Brazilian chicks when I lived in Costa Rica and Gisele would've been the least-attractive of the bunch - and that's not hyperbole. 5'11" too, can you imagine how big and ugly her feet are? :-)

I think she's overrated simply because she has that super model label, but she's not ugly or anything. DiCaprio is definitely pulling in the better looking models. Tom is getting the 2nd's. [Reply]

I agree. Of course, she is somewhat good looking, but her looks don't come anywhere near the hype. She's only "hot" because she's famous. [Reply]

She came up in a world where hot was tall, skinny and white.
These days men expect tits and ass and they are plentiful and on full display. And women have mastered the art of modifications. Make up game is on point for most women these days. BBL's and fake lashes and every chick has yoga pants to accentuate their assets.
You can walk through Wal Mart and spot hotter chicks. [Reply]
