I Love You...

There he goes again. Bentleys. Range Rovers. The mansion. My private jet. Not to mention the other plane.

Never have I met somebody online talk so much complete and utter garbage about their personal possessions. If they exist at all. Probably just in your imagination.

Certainly you're the only geezer I know who has to make constant references to their personal possessions to make yourself look good in the eyes of others.

Frankly, I think you're full of it. Not an ounce of truth to any of your claims. You've never once managed to back up even one of your claims here on this forum. Not one. Not once. Not on one single solitary point. Ever.

Yeah...probably with a lot more money than you'll ever have...oh..did I say that?

We don't dislike you because you're supposedly wealthy, we simply don't like you because you're a blatant braggart.

It's very rare to find a true wealthy person who constantly feels the need to constantly boast about their material possessions.

A lot of your posts in the past have been good. Some containing excellent advice. But all this crap about what you own? Nobody gives a stuff. It's just making you look stupid.

Drop the braggart part of your personality and you might become a little more likeable.

Noun: braggart - a very boastful and talkative person, blowhard, boaster, bragger, line-shooter, egoist, swellhead - a conceited and self-centered person.

I'm a troll?

I'm not even trying to sell anything in my signature...

...you obviously just wanted to post to do some advertising.

As Mark Pescetti so succinctly puts it in his signature link...

The New Age of Marketing is coming from a place of HELPING people. The more people you HELP, the more money you make!

Rubbing other peoples faces in it all the time as Max5ty is so fond of doing, telling others how much you're worth, what you own all the time, isn't coming from a place of helping other people.

It's just saying, "Look at me and how much better I am than you."

In a down economy when people are struggling to pay their basic essential bills and to put foot on the table, to keep a roof over their head - when someone comes along boasting about everything they own constantly, this doesn't act as a trigger to help those people feel better about themselves.

All it does is to alienate other people and get their backs up.

For in essence, he is saying with these constant little comments, "Look at how much better off I am than you guys - aren't I just swell?"

It's not a good motivator especially when there's no proof at all that he has actually achieved anything at all. It's all just hot air. Words conjured up out of thin air to stir things up.

This is the last time I take the bait.

When he's not boasting he's fine. Makes a lot of promises but never keeps them but then we can all be guilty of that at times. It's just the constant boasting that gets to me. I just point blank don't understand why a copywriter of all people would communicate in such a manner. It irks me. A lot.

He calls me a great friend. I have his telephone number. I have spoken to him before on the phone. Overall he's not too bad. Having said that, if I met him in person and he started boasting like this - I'd give a bloody good clip around the ear and tell him to stick a sock in it. Make no mistake about it.

His wealth, if it exists, doesn't impress me in the absolute slightest. I already have almost everything in life I could wish for and want (the basics) - so what makes him think he's better than other people on the basis of a few dead possessions?

Material possessions are just objects. They only become valuable when we put a value on them. They're just tools. Like I've said before, when you're dying to take a dump your crap doesn't give a sh!t whether you take a dump on a solid gold diamond encrusted bog - your crap, his dumps are going to smell as bad as anyone elses. You can't take all this stuff with you to the grave. It's meaningless. Twaddle.

When you're fast asleep, does your body care two flying hoots whether or not you sleep in a 6 star hotel, in a four poster bed or on a camping mattress? No, it couldn't care less. Sleep just serves it's purpose. Does it's own thing. Recharges your batteries. What it's supposed to do.

You may have the fastest car on the planet but soon as you hit a spot of rough ground, what bloody good is it to you? I'd rather have an old Landrover. At least it will get you there no matter what. Who cares if your bum hurts, whack a bloody cushion on the seat for pete's sake! Problem solved.

In person, we'd drive each other nuts - I'm positively sure of it. He likes a bit of pampering and to be mollycoddled - I like it rough and ready...wysiwyg. He talks all fancy and posh, me I'll just tell you how it is no punches pulled. He's all full of hot air, me? I just fart. It's natural.

It's a love hate relationship.

Listen, I wouldn't bring anything like that up usually. It's not my business, usually.

However, there's no need for him - or anyone to - start lambasting others just because they say something they don't like personally.

Especially when he says things like... Where does the we come from?

As far as his copy...

Specifics?

You haven't read his copy?

Sell something, anything, items via the written word consistently.

How to make the jump? Research and lots of practice. Putting yourself out there. Positioning thyself.

You become a great lover by trying out lots of new positions.

Let's talk about you Ioan...

what else can you share with us?

How's things going for you?

You been doing okay?

You didn't like the post?

See you're from Romania...got any new ideas you're using there that would help others around the world?

Not quite correct but I can see how you might jump to this conclusion based on this thread alone.

You see, as copywriters we're forever writing from someone elses perspective. We're always trying to see the world around us through the eyes of other people.

So just every now and then to keep the mind healthy it's actually good for copywriters to talk in the first person about themselves rather than the second person, always talking about the thoughts, feelings and psychology of others.

Never seen you here in this section before so your take on this might be a little over shadowed by this current banter. Believe you me, we're not always talking about ourselves. In fact, if you go to this section of the forum: Mind Warriors - Success, Power, Self-Improvement you'll see many threads from me for example where I'm constantly putting others interests first.

A shame I didn't see you posting there though. I'm sure your personal insights would have been exceedingly valuable.

Or sing qumbaya, maybe?

I find Groundhog day a bit too repetitive.
