Dear Hyung,

I have a real embarrassing question, I will try to word it as appropriately as possible. I am lucky to have a girlfriend, shes good to me. Do you have any strategies for lasting longer in bed? I feel I finish pretty fast and I am "one and done". Is there anything I can do?


3 things:
1. do you sleep enough because may times this is related to general stamina, get enough sleep and go sprinting and do some lunges and it will help immensely.

2. general technique, sounds nutty, but in any case, -short, short, short, mid- short short short mid- then after a while: short short mid short deep, etc. basically don't be shy to simply just do it a bit then wait, then do it a bit then wait. There will be a point where you would normally finish, but just go very very slowly at that point, rest, wait, and then that moment will pass by and you'll get your second wind. Don't think that everyone is naturally a monster in bed, it takes time to find your groove.

3. don't think about dead babies or whatever, just be natural yourself, it may be that you just do a lot of things to her first and make her happy first then just do your thing at the end, but most of all, when you do make love, you need to take control, and direct the action; if you don't, your natural male instincts to dominate won't kick in and it would be the same as just doing it yourself.

but, it is process, try it step by step and a very common and natural thing.

Funny you should ask, I just went out with Naz, Jinro and Huk just a couple of days ago for dinner after Huk's win. I drove them home after the GSL game, we had about 6 servings of beef, 1 bottle of soju and 4 large bottle of beers and then we went for some more beers and Huk had his fruit salad punch. It was a very pleasant evening with an old guy like me, no crazy girly stuff when I go out, just like to eat as much nice food as possible. ^^

I've never had the chance to take out Artosis and Tasteless out for dinner, I'll be sure to do that the next time I see them, I know Tasteless well enough, but Artosis, we just know each other by face, but I did say hi to them that day as well. Generally in person I don't have much time, also I have a very low tolerance for bad manners so if I'm not introduced properly I generally won't introduce myself (thus I never formally met Idra, but we did speak in passing, I personally thought he was quite polite and pleasant in person). But I did ask to get introduced to TLO when he was here and got a picture taken with him and Jinro when they first came to Korea keke.

In terms of gamers, I don't know if a lot of people know that I was involved with WCG challenge and the 1st WCG back in 1999-2001 respectively, and it's where I ended up meeting Giyom, Smuft, and Elky and then Rekrul over those early years. I was still the old guy then and the much older guy now as they were still teenagers keke (and I was taller by a bit then, now shortest by a lot lol). To this day, we're all very close like family. I also met Naz all those years ago and of course we're close as well, but he when on to back to Europe to do something called TeamLiquid, some horse breeding clan or something like that ^^.

I did go to two TL meet ups over the years in Seoul. One was very small and was headed my myself and Rekrul, so it was fun keke and the other was this past year organized by lil'susie which was extremely fun as well because it was so huge. I would have gone to the last one, in Seoul, but unfortunately was in travel.

I pretty fortunate though to be surround by such uniquely talented people in an industry which I do love and have a very personal connection to even though I'm a shit player (although put me on a Korean Girl Guide 4v4 money map and I'll show you whats up ^^ SC2 included keke) and I've also grown with them getting sucked into the poker industry along side their influence, again on the industry side (I'm a sucky poker player too, but I do have a major side event win to my name, keke). But the one thing I love about the TL community is the amount of talent and skill here. During the dinner I mentioned that Karl Marx said something along the lines of 'give me 10 men like Jesus and I can rule the world' and I said, 'put together 40 of the brightest minds at TL and I can direct them to do virtually anything' and Naz looks at me and says, 'damn that's a lot of talent right there' and I said, give me 40 of them, and we can do virtually anything ^^

playing intramural soccer vs another fraternity, one of my gfs good guy friends is in it. they're all club players. my team is going to be missing over half our actual players due to class. recently started training regimen because i plan on playing again next year on the club team but I'm still nowhere near in shape.

Did you ever get nervous before rugby games? I'm always nervous to almost being sick before any game no matter how prepared I know I am but once it starts im completely fine.

What do you do to prepare for sporting events
What's your mindset when you enter them

I'm fretting. going to deal with it. trying to go trying to win instead of scared of looking bad. how do you push yourself over the edge?

edit: 1-0 them, 2 huge whiffs by my team, set up practice saturday and I'm cutting people. hit my personal goals (not score) but team goals didn't fare well. there is no quick fix for dedication.

my questions stand

Hi,

What I got from this thread is that you are, amongst other things, materially successful. As far as I know, you need a lot of drive for that. Where do you get your drive from?

Never nervous before a rugby game specifically because it was one of the very few things I was talented at, but I have been nervous at other tasks.

You know that term 'clutch player' the go-to-guy when everything is on the line, game winning field goal, drive, basket...the last play of the game? You need to be that guy for the position you play. You're not going to play every role on the pitch/field, but the one that you play, you know your can do your job. I guess I generally have a lot more respect for individual sports because every clutch play is on them, but on the flip side, they also don't have the expectations of the entire team on their shoulders either. So first, you need to know you can be the clutch player and so I think that gives a solid confidence.

Obvious you know how to play the game or else you'd still be nervous when you play, but the entire not wanting to look bad over winning, its a pretty common thing, but I guess its stems from:

Is winning, (i)winning that game or (ii)winning being the best player you can be over the course of the season? For me it's always been the later and so I always put everything out on the field knowing that if I don't, how would I know if I'm improving or not? I think it what defines a true competitor and I don't have any patience for anyone on my team that doesn't put as much dedication as I do. If you're scared not to look good, well you're head is not 100% in the game and for sure you wont' play as well at the very least, you're definitely not improving.

In terms of pushing myself over the edge, I think for Rugby it's a bit different, 1. when I get on the pitch I make up my mind, that I don't care if I live or die on this field, as long as I make every play I can. 2. So following that, I'm very serious when I play, I dont' joke around, i don't care about the spectators, I don't care about my team mates feeling on the field, sometimes (embarrassed to say this) I feel as though I'm some raging viking demi-god of war on the field whose purpose is not to think, but is to crush the competitor's will to live. But other times when the competition is just tough, I feel, as though I'm one man who is going to carry my team through it all to victory, regardless of the odds. But I guess more than anything, I don't think of it as a game, I think of it as life and death.

But in terms of your team, you can't make them dedicated if they dont' have any, but a good leader can turn things around.

If you're talking about the fat Korean guy with the titlist cap sitting between Naz and Jin, yup that was me, sorry if I didn't introduce myself, I generally don't unless someone makes an introduction, but if you see me next time, say hi ^^

Hi,

What I got from this thread is that you are, amongst other things, materially successful. As far as I know, you need a lot of drive for that. Where do you get your drive from?


I'm not that materially successful, for a salary man yes, for someone on the equity side now, I'm close to personal destitute as you can get (luckily I married a rich man's daughter who's father has pity on me right now).

The problem with our society is that money does really make the little things easier. But in order to get to a position where your company pays you enough to really enjoy life, you have to work like a bitch to get there. I'd say, you could comfortably live on 80k but you would still need to live as middle class family, ie no BMW and eating out every night, but around the 200k range you can live that life style but without savings, and by the +350k range, you have more than enough money to save, send your kids to private school, etc. But I'd have to say, making 400k a year, to get to that position, whether it is finance or management, well for business its fucking lot of work.

People don't have any idea what work really is, imagine the only time you get to sleep is when you are on an airplane flying in between meetings and you spend more 4 times more time with you junior staff than you do with your wife or if your 1st child is born and you miss more than half of his first year because of work and travel. But that is what it takes, so you're right in that regards.

A couple of things: I enjoy stressful situations, I enjoy it when the shit is all falling apart and when they need someone to fix everything, maybe I get some sick egotistical pride from it, but I think it points to the fact that no matter how hard the work is, I see it some type of challenge.

If some other staff in a different division wants to play politics with me, I'm happy that he does, so I crush him and make him look like a fool.

So another point would be having that supreme confidence that comes from being really exceptional at your job. Being uber competitive is great for business, but you have to back it up, because there is a certain point where no one bullshits. You can bullshit your way to even a senior manager position, but to become an executive director in the inner circle with the owner's ear, you can't. Oh some do and the destroy their companies, but its very rare.

But ultimately my personal drive comes from ego, I honestly believe that the money I earn is an inevitable conclusion that its rightfully mine, and that I'll take whatever abuse, hours, sacrifices willing to get it. I don't think, 'Oh, I'm not sure if I can be CEO, its too high for me', rather, whatever position I'm in, I never think its enough for what I should be doing. The only think that separates me from the richest out there is time and it may take me until I'm an angry old man at 72, but I'll have this knowledge that that is me.

This is very much the same mentality that some like Oprah Winfrey has as she has always been wildly successful even as young person, always moving forward to where she is not. It's a mistake to think that is attributed to your 'drive' which is largely based on will power (which is easily exhaustible), rather its a self image, that your suppost be eating at the Grand Hyatt and have a driver.

Machine mode got a malfunction and I only finished half my tasks because my wife came back with my son and I'm not that stupid not to realize that the time I spend with them, even if takes me out of Machine mode is not time well spent.
But I've kicked them out again for a few hours so I can finish off the rest of my work,
but damn does it feel good to get some major tasks out of the way.
I have about 3 hours left before I've fucked myself for next week though ^^

A friend of mine is currently dating a Korean girl that is here in Canada on exchange. She leaves in one month and he really wants to score with her. He has described her as shy, but seems to be really into him. Any advice on how my friend can get with this girl before she returns to Korea? Anything specific to know / not do - he has said she seems traditional, very man-please-y.

lol, I can't give you direct advice to destroy the virtue of a girl that maybe doesn't want her virtue to be destroyed. There are a lot of Korean girls that you can score with and some that you can't, and it's a pretty clear divide. If your friend has the latter and she has really made up her mind that because she is leaving she won't get sexually involved, by pressure seducing her (which is possible) you'll be fucking her up as she may actually think she is in love and get into some self romantic 'can't live without you, but must tragically leave' mode. So in any case, men are young, they want sex, they pressure women. Don't do that, its not worth it on your conscious later.

All, I can say is: your friend needs to make it clear that he doesn't want to score with her, and then hold her hand and make her comfortable and eventually if they start making out etc and when the opportunity does come up to score. don't do it. tell her that you guys shouldn't do this. then she will have a clear mind to decide whether or not she does really want to do it or not; as your friend wont' be pressuring her. Now this could be considered reverse psychology, but if she really is from a traditional family and has already made up her mind, she won't give in and just leave it at that and enjoy the make out session. If she does, then you've freed her from her social and mental restrictions and she can go back to Korea really ready to party ^^

A friend of mine is currently dating a Korean girl that is here in Canada on exchange. She leaves in one month and he really wants to score with her. He has described her as shy, but seems to be really into him. Any advice on how my friend can get with this girl before she returns to Korea? Anything specific to know / not do - he has said she seems traditional, very man-please-y.


lol, I can't give you direct advice to destroy the virtue of a girl that maybe doesn't want her virtue to be destroyed. There are a lot of Korean girls that you can score with and some that you can't, and it's a pretty clear divide. If your friend has the latter and she has really made up her mind that because she is leaving she won't get sexually involved, by pressure seducing her (which is possible) you'll be fucking her up as she may actually think she is in love and get into some self romantic 'can't live without you, but must tragically leave' mode. So in any case, men are young, they want sex, they pressure women. Don't do that, its not worth it on your conscious later.

All, I can say is: your friend needs to make it clear that he doesn't want to score with her, and then hold her hand and make her comfortable and eventually if they start making out etc and when the opportunity does come up to score. don't do it. tell her that you guys shouldn't do this. then she will have a clear mind to decide whether or not she does really want to do it or not; as your friend wont' be pressuring her. Now this could be considered reverse psychology, but if she really is from a traditional family and has already made up her mind, she won't give in and just leave it at that and enjoy the make out session. If she does, then you've freed her from her social and mental restrictions and she can go back to Korea really ready to party ^^


Haha, I'l let him know. Nice answer.

Have you ever hyung out with Artosis/John/Tasteless/Liquid players?


Funny you should ask, I just went out with Naz, Jinro and Huk just a couple of days ago for dinner after Huk's win. I drove them home after the GSL game, we had about 6 servings of beef, 1 bottle of soju and 4 large bottle of beers and then we went for some more beers and Huk had his fruit salad punch. It was a very pleasant evening with an old guy like me, no crazy girly stuff when I go out, just like to eat as much nice food as possible. ^^

I've never had the chance to take out Artosis and Tasteless out for dinner, I'll be sure to do that the next time I see them, I know Tasteless well enough, but Artosis, we just know each other by face, but I did say hi to them that day as well. Generally in person I don't have much time, also I have a very low tolerance for bad manners so if I'm not introduced properly I generally won't introduce myself (thus I never formally met Idra, but we did speak in passing, I personally thought he was quite polite and pleasant in person). But I did ask to get introduced to TLO when he was here and got a picture taken with him and Jinro when they first came to Korea keke.

In terms of gamers, I don't know if a lot of people know that I was involved with WCG challenge and the 1st WCG back in 1999-2001 respectively, and it's where I ended up meeting Giyom, Smuft, and Elky and then Rekrul over those early years. I was still the old guy then and the much older guy now as they were still teenagers keke (and I was taller by a bit then, now shortest by a lot lol). To this day, we're all very close like family. I also met Naz all those years ago and of course we're close as well, but he when on to back to Europe to do something called TeamLiquid, some horse breeding clan or something like that ^^.

I did go to two TL meet ups over the years in Seoul. One was very small and was headed my myself and Rekrul, so it was fun keke and the other was this past year organized by lil'susie which was extremely fun as well because it was so huge. I would have gone to the last one, in Seoul, but unfortunately was in travel.

I pretty fortunate though to be surround by such uniquely talented people in an industry which I do love and have a very personal connection to even though I'm a shit player (although put me on a Korean Girl Guide 4v4 money map and I'll show you whats up ^^ SC2 included keke) and I've also grown with them getting sucked into the poker industry along side their influence, again on the industry side (I'm a sucky poker player too, but I do have a major side event win to my name, keke). But the one thing I love about the TL community is the amount of talent and skill here. During the dinner I mentioned that Karl Marx said something along the lines of 'give me 10 men like Jesus and I can rule the world' and I said, 'put together 40 of the brightest minds at TL and I can direct them to do virtually anything' and Naz looks at me and says, 'damn that's a lot of talent right there' and I said, give me 40 of them, and we can do virtually anything ^^


wait weren't you with Jinro and Nazgul at the studio when HuK played his up & down match ?


If you're talking about the fat Korean guy with the titlist cap sitting between Naz and Jin, yup that was me, sorry if I didn't introduce myself, I generally don't unless someone makes an introduction, but if you see me next time, say hi ^^


aah fuck I already felt bad for not introducing myself when I was talking to Jinro and Nazgul, now knowing that it was you makes it even worse :<

^^ no worries, like I said, I usually don't meet people unless introduced anyway, so don't feel bad at all, just introduce yourself the next time we see each other (which would be the next time Naz is in Korea ^^) or at a TL meet up in Korea. Sorry as well for not being more friendly in public!

Never did acid, and no drug is popular in Korea because the laws are very strict regarding any type of drugs so native Koreans have extremely limited exposure to drugs in general, if you ask them if they would smoke pot, they look at you if you were the devil in person. Celebrities who have picked up the habit of smoking pot from their overseas exposure, once caught had their careers destroyed or completely sidetracked. Many Korean Americans smuggle weed into Korea over the summer and winter months, but I'm sure its a lot less now due to full body screening.

I've never done acid because you can have a possible bad trip. As I've been told you need to control your environment, but you can still get caught on a bad thought and bang, you have a bad trip. Why would you do a drug that could possibly give you a bad trip is one part, and the send part is, the distortion of reality in that way, it wasn't ever appealing to me because I did hear a lot of stories of people having flashbacks (exaggerated possibility, but back then we didn't have the internet to immediately check up on it).

But I don't think you should do anything that makes you lose complete control or that you need to be dependent upon, whether it is smoking or alcohol, great sex in a bad relationship etc...
