"The G. Manifesto" based on what Ive read is kinda like me. A half spanish/white irish cat who knows and has mastered the streets, grew up in a hip hop culture with friends of all nationalities, and strives on being the best he can be and banging the finest females in the world. If you dont understand his slang, you shouldnt be reading is stuff(its not for you , it could get you hurt in life) I understand the brother protects his identity becasue hes a G. number 1. and number 2. all you haters out there see his face and would be trying to start shit while hes going to work on a mami at the bar . He dont need that shit. Big Ups G, keep it G.
wtf is the gmanifesto?

There are three things we use.
The first one is congruence. You look for the signs of congruence, which is mostly non-verbal - same as chicks here do. This is why here in US sometime I can say a dude is full of shit well before he even opens his mouth. And this is why a lot of Russians appear very unemotional and self-controlling. When you're emotional if you're lying it is very easy to lose the congruence. This is also why people are being provoked into emotional responses.
The second one is shit testing. Basically if a dude talks about the subject you know at least remotely, you encourage him to continue into deeper details and see where it goes. For the bullshit people they usually start making things up, and at this point someone who really knows the stuff jumps on them and publicly destroys them. The dude then gets reputation of a windbag, and it travels FAST, so this is not something likely to happen. It happens much more often here in US with Russian chicks who have lived in the US for a while, and mostly hanged out with locals. They became used to guys staring at them with open mouths swallowing every spoon of bullshit she was feeding to them just because she has tits, so being called out in public for their bullshit by a dude is a shocking experience to them. I've done it couple of days ago, and loved every second of it.
The third is "network of trust". Usually you have friends who you know you can trust, who always try to make their own opinion about things and know the stuff. You can rely on their opinion when new people are introduced into your social circle. Same goes about windbags. This way the community protects its own integrity, so while gossiping behind backs is frowned upon in Russian culture, spreading this kind of information is not considered gossiping and is encouraged. It also helps to find the experts in the area, i.e. if your friend said Andrew got him out of legal trouble, and you got one, Andrew probably be one of the first guys you'd talk to.
To make it specific, a person doesn't have to know everything to be trustworthy. He may share his opinion about anything at all as long as he makes it clear it is his personal opinion based on what he read/heard/listened to, and is not based on experience. It is the people who pretend they are something they aren't who typically get in trouble. For example, a guy who said he never skydived and he thinks you cannot breathe in freefall (a common misconception) I'll correct him. But if a guy says he did 50 jumps and he knows you cannot breathe in freefall, I'll call him out.

Actually it is more like "trust only those things you verified".

If a guy is getting anywhere near to the $5,000 range, wouldn't it be better to go on a trip to somewhere like Thailand to have the suits done... the trip would pay for itself.
