KV - Oh, to be young again!
Only kidding, I don't think I would have ever been up for this. I can only think these guys are from an elite crack military unit.
I would think they're definitely athletic enough to be part of an elite military unit. They went hard the entire time. Although I question their judgement to even be considering doing this stuff but still impressive... and yeah, getting laid isn't going to be a problem for these guys. They peacock better than anybody.
"Although I question their judgement to even be considering doing..."
They're fools. But there's an organ donation shortage in the world, so these fools do serve a public good ;)
Ok, this caught my attention:
" and yeah, getting laid isn't going to be a problem for these guys. "
Unless their ugly. Nobody sleeps with ugly... unless ugly has a shitload of money with a propensity to spend lavishly.
As for marriage, no women with half a brain would settle down with a soon-to-be organ donor... unless, again, soon-to-be organ donor is super rich and agrees to no prenup.
This reminds me of a Casanova anecdote that has served me pleasurably well in life. Must find the time one day to tell it :(
Six things the Lord hates; in fact, seven are detestable to Him: (1) Feet Eager to Run to Evil (2) A Lying Witness Who Gives False Testimony (3) One Who Stirs Up Trouble Among Brother (4) Arrogant Eyes (5) A Lying Tongue (6) Hands That Shed Innocent Blood (7) A Heart That Plots Wicked Schemes
Ha! Beauty doesn't even make the top 7!
Btw, the key word in the quote you posted is the adverb "alone." Beauty and good character are not mutually exclusive? Just as Joe had one mentioned regarding Trump that dementia and incredible stupidity need not be mutually exclusive.
Read the story of Jacob -- you know, the big daddy of the Israelites. He was no fool; he wanted the good-looking Rachel. Worked his ass off like a dog for years to get her. Man, talk about patience! Of course, he was stuck in getting both the beautiful Rachel and her not-so-good-looking sister (being kind to her, most probably she was drop-dead ugly) :(
Well, Jacob got both Leah AND Rachel after the first 7 years so it's not like he had to wait 14 years for Rachel - he just had to work for Laban another 7 years but with 2 wives.
Death wish.

I literally have dreams like that sometimes - great fun.
ReplyDeleteAs for Darwin, I doubt either of those guys will have trouble finding a mate.
As for death wish, shame on the older generations that the young should not have hope in the future.
My anus clenched so hard it squeaked. 😛

"they're ugly", not "their..." (I was distracted thinking about beautiful women :( )
ReplyDeleteActually, women are more interested in character, i.e. "Beauty is only skin deep but ugly goes all the way to the bone."
ReplyDeleteI pity the man who uses beauty alone as a marriage guide ... (c.f. Proverbs 31:10-31).
"Actually, women are more interested in character..."

ReplyDeleteWould organs be viable after a fall from that height?
