Diddo. I love a good boxing match. My dream match of course is pacquiao vs mayweather. :)

I could never get into MMA - every match I see is mostly grabbing and punching your opponent while he is on the floor. ??? Or at least, trying to slam him to the floor.

I never get to see these great "martial artists" do any fancy moves other than kicking someone in the face like crazy while he is on the floor. (yawn)

Agreed. I m kinda old school...love boxing. I was watching Khan Maidana the other day, lots of action and energy. Was watching it with a girl and she was so into it. I respect what those MMA guys do, but it is boring.

I dont think pacman mayweather is going to happen though. It may happen anti climatically when they are over the hill and got nothing to lose like the Hopkins Jones II fight. We were robbed of a truly amazing rematch there.

It's an entertaining read, it took me awhile to get used to the bits that were bollocks and the good bits. With all the "colourful" blogs out there, you never know whether someone is taking the piss or being deadly serious.

Putting aside the "hustler/heists" stuff, tis good to see someone who advocates for both smoking and old school boxing knowledge. Also any American who acknowledges the legend that was George Best can't be that bad. Quick question for "G" if he's still reading this thread, was your Da really from Belfast?

Pacman - "Actually I m looking for some valid and reliable financial knowledge to start living exclusively from trading...so if you have anything to recommend like web sites, books, methodology about trading...I am all ears"

I post a bunch of stuff. Start with this: http://www.thegmanifesto.com/2009/07/matthew-bradbard-50-trading-principles.html . If that is really what you want to do, I suggest to get a job in that field first to learn from people and see if you really like it.

stoney, rudeboy, InternationalSwagger, MiXX, Nonpareil - thanks for the good word.

zoom - "The website is pretty funny to visit once in awhile, but you just can't take it seriously."

Most of what I write is written in a humorous tone, although all of it is very true. Sure, I exaggerate at times to make a point, which is exactly the way my friends and I speak. (On the flip side, for any exaggeration I have made, I have toned down other things as well).

I was curious as to what I have written about in the past that you couldn't take seriously?

People make that claim a lot but never give a specific example.

Luckystar - Pac VS Money May seems far off, and I don't follow the day to day, but I really want to see that one.

CuChulainn - Yes. My Father was really born in Belfast. Ha. Why would I make that up of all things?

As far as smoking and boxing, I got way more to come.

Fun and exciting events like G writes about have the potential to happen all the time if you put yourself in position for it to occur. im sure we all have stories and memories of some cool/strange/crazy nights, that people wouldnt believe. not trying to sound like im bragging here but I got two handjobs from an obese black chick and a girl with lupus and a fucked uphand in one night. Just the other night i went to an all black apartment party. That shit right there...insane! there was atleast 40 people in one apartment. It isnt quite as cool as the stuff that happens to Mpm but it is kind of crazy none the less. All about positioning and putting yourself out there and being

You use too much slang to the point that it just isn't proper english. It's hard to understand sometimes.

Also I am skeptical that you are who you say you are. You claim to be an international player, yet you have never posted a picture of yourself or said what your job title is. So it's just hard for me to believe everything you say.

Your stock advice seems helpful though.

Comparing MMA to baseball?? Please tell me you're joking man!

The reason you don't see mixed martial artists doing "fancy moves" like Jackie Chan is because those fancy moves don't work anywhere outside a choreographed movie. If they did, they'd be using them in the cage. Most these guys have trained in traditional martial arts their whole lives so they know best what works in a real life situation.

But Alas, here is some Matrix-like finishing move that actually did work and it was just luck IMO.

zoom,

"You use too much slang to the point that it just isn't proper english. It's hard to understand sometimes."

The way I write is the way my friends and I speak. It's not supposed to be proper English. Anyone who grew up near where I have and has traveled like I have speaks in a similar manner.

Slang is very interesting. Every counter-culture uses their own version. Squares and regular people aren't supposed to get it.

"Also I am skeptical that you are who you say you are. You claim to be an international player, yet you have never posted a picture of yourself or said what your job title is."

Ha. We come from different worlds I guess. Where I come from, privacy, and being low-profile are revered. I know our modern "me, me, me" culture doesn't feel the same way. Call me old-school.

And do you really think I would put a picture of myself up with the subject matter I write about?

I have no desire for fame.

"So it's just hard for me to believe everything you say."

When people say this, I always wonder what exactly I write about that is so amazing and unbelievable to them. Again, example? Shed some light if you can.

I write about everyday stuff that happens to me and people I know. Most of the real crazy stuff I don't write about (in case I ever write a book or screenplay).

Which makes a statement like you the one you made even more puzzling.

I guess we are just in two completely different worlds.

Not seeing the humor and the truth about what I write about says a lot about the person reading it.

"Your stock advice seems helpful though."

Cool, hope you make some money off of it.

g,

Some of the stuff you say I take with a grain of salt- dining with corporate Ceo's, hanging with international models, etc. It's just extremely rare for someone to be doing this, which is why I would need proof to believe it.

But I can understand that you value your privacy. We have different viewpoints on this and that's fine. You have a successful website so there really is no need for you to change it.

zoom,

I agree with you, it may be rare.

However, it is all perspective. I have friends I grew up with that are young CEO's. I have friends I went to school with that are from Casino families in Las Vegas. This stuff is normal to me.

And compared to them, I am not anywhere near as "successful" as they are (although when it comes to lifestyle, not many have me beat).

I first started swooping models as a young pup when I first went to South Beach. However, I have friends that lived in NYC and Miami Beach that were swooping models non-stop and were heavy in that scene.

Compared to them, I did minimal damage (although I have outlasted all of them).

So, again, I can apperciate what you are saying, but it is all perspective.

Why don't you try for yourself some of the things I write about?

I have yet to meet someone who has followed what I write about to a "T" and been disapointed.

Wow, I thought it is just me :) I like to read his blog, but I roughly understand around 50% of content due to slang, as the dictionary doesn't help here. For example, I still have no idea what "fly girl" means; is it a flight attendant?

Also I am skeptical that you are who you say you are. You claim to be an international player, yet you have never posted a picture of yourself or said what your job title is. So it's just hard for me to believe everything you say.

Being skeptical is a good thing. However I do not see or even consider it relevant here - after all, you are not investing money into him, are you? So it basically goes down to whether you accept his advice or not, and for that the only thing that matters is the advice itself.

Are you guys foreign? That could be why you do not understand much of what he pens. It's similar to how I have no idea what the term wè means. A Mexican guy greets me with that everyday at work. "wuzz up way! Where da ladies!"

50%! I wouldn't go that far. Its more 4-5 words in a post. And its more about the message than the words.

Good point.

It always makes me laugh when people get so emotional about what I write (and zoom isn't even bad, I get multiple death threats. I am sure Roosh gets them as well). All I am doing is giving free information.

Believe me, I wish someone else would write The G Manifesto so I wouldn't have to.

Then I could just kick back, read it and enjoy and laugh.

G Manifesto - no need to justify yourself or your blog. Any person that does not understand it is obviously not living the life or has no concept of what it is to pull a nice chick simply because you are dressed well.

You call it like it is and I found your post on Latvia very entertaining, heck you even suggested that black guys would do well there. Which no other blogger tends to give out that sort of info, fcuk even on this site some people get there panties in a twine over that stuff.

I really enjoy your music selection, fashion advice (trying to save up for a custom made suit for my next London stop-over) and your strip club game.

Out of curiousity, what watch do you sport?

Is this the real G, aka Michael Mason?

Custom Suit? Check.
Greasy Internet Geek Hair? Check.
Stuffed Animals? Check.

I think we found our man.

The only thing that makes me wonder about your true game skill is that you say custom suit is basically the solution to everything. I think that connects with only three or four guys here.
