Mkay... so i understand some of your points but for the most part, this is entirely incorrect. Get your facts straight before criticizing please.
(1)First off, I think you may have misperceived the "ideal" they are trying to create. The message isn't "you're unhappy because you're not us and living free" it's a question "are you living your life to the fullest potential by your standards?" And yes, for some people that fulfillment is staying at home with their family and that's perfectly fine. The show is just trying to get people to ask themselves, if they died tomorrow, are there any regrets they would have? Chances they should've taken? Well then take them now because the future is fast approaching! It has more of a carpe diem ideal if you must put a label on it.
(2)Secondly, I believe calling it sexist is a bit extreme. True some of TBLB's list items would be weird for a group of girls to go after, but that's largely due to the fact that they're MALES. It would be equally as odd for a group of males to want to run in the Nike Women's Marathon. I think you're also over-thinking some of their list items. They do have some awe-inspiring ones such as travel to space, which would bring anyone praise, regardless of their gender. But life isn't always so serious. They want to have not just deep goals, but fun ones too! You cannot honestly tell me that you don't have a life goal that might seem silly or frivolous to others, right?
(3)Thirdly, you need to focus on your research here. They are in fact NOT rich, nor famous, nor had any previous connections. TBLB were four average guys from Canada that wanted something a bit different out of life. It began when they wanted to take a road trip for the summer in hopes of finding the meaning of their lives (as many others before them have and those after will continue to do) by helping others. They worked and asked local businesses for donations, and THAT'S how they funded their first trip. Also, TBL was happening off-camera for almost four years before MTV found them, and initially TBLB turned down their offer because MTV wanted to fund and control the show. The boys wanted their mission to stay has real as possible, and didn't want the help of a big corporation. A year later they came to the boys with a new deal that gave TBL full control of filming and little financial assistance (I believe they got a small food stipend and the purple bus). Also, you mentioned that if they were rich why didn't they visit other's religious shrines or write philosophy, but like you said before that, it's their money. What gives you the right to tell them what to do with it? (please stop contradicting yourself in this paragraph & the repetition is a bit dull).
(4) Finally, it can in fact be replicated. That's the point of the show, anyone can go after what they want in life if they have the drive. And with that, I digress.

Better living in car, than living with M.O.M.

I'd definitely give that guy a hard look, at least he's not a mama's boy and living his life Independent.
poverty sucks but standing up to it takes courage.

Re: What if You Don’t Marry The Girl You Have Awesome Sex With?

Pneuma66 — Thu, 15 Aug 2013 13:16:19 -0000

Most of us guys enjoy a woman who loves good sex, and "yes" it is an
important part of a good relationship/marriage. But, there are still
some guys who use the word "slut" to describe girls like this. All I
can say is if he is one of those, just find a more evolved guy. But if
he gives you no reason to think that about him, then just relax and
enjoy the sex with him. Like Tim said, you're over-thinking this.

So do you think that some men are universally not attractive or some men view potential dates only on a attractiveness level that is generally the same for all of them?

Re: Rejection

phiLOLZophy — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:54:00 -0000

That's true for me. I don't think it's true for everyone. Especially men.

Re: Rejection

FWIW — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 00:07:11 -0000

I don't think that rejection from someone is warranted because they were "out of your league". No physical type attraction is universal to an entire gender, everyone has different likes and dislikes. Assuming that you weren't at the level of the person you went on a date with ignores the fact that there are other men who prefer women who weigh more than average. Rejection is a issue of mismatched people in terms of interest, not on some universally agreed upon attractiveness level.

Re: Tumblr is Wrong for Censoring Eating Disorder Blogs

I know — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 17:44:31 -0000

So, I know you suffered through an eating disorder and I haven't. But my best friend has. Once I was over at her house and I found a food logging journal. I didn't want to believe she had an eating disorder. We had been friends for seven years. And you are right, those things can't exactly give a person an eating disorder but THEY CAN trigger someone who already had one, and is trying to recover. It wasn't the need to be skinny that gave her an eating disorder. It was the chemistry in her brain, an it gave her chronic depression. It wasn't her fault, or anyone's on the internet. It was simply the way her brain worked. She had other reasons her ED came about- her parents divorce, her mean stepdad, and wanting to be a little kid again- because everything was simple and easy then. Also because she never was noticed (at least thats how she felt). I didn't know this however- I thought for a long time she only had an ED because she wanted to be skinny.

So I gave the journal to her parents, and they talked to her. She admitted the truth, and they found help for her. But I thought this happened because I was a bad friend. I became too nosy. I searched though her computer history. And she had a blog. Not on tumblr- but a blog, nevertheless. It was pro-ana, and she talked about her rituals, how she tricks her parents and doctors, and so forth. They deleted her blog, but here's a post from a blog similar to hers that is CURRENTLY ON TUMBLR. It was the caption to a photo of a very sick looking girl. "I just want to casually sit somewhere an look that skinny." See what kind of destructive thoughts these pictures and posts induce?

nobody — Sat, 06 Jul 2013 16:56:50 -0000

the person who wrote this is fucking ridiculous. My friend is trying to recover and she goes on tumblr to look at people's photographs, people's art. She wants to be a normal teenager, and have a tumblr like her friends. She doesn't need to go on a site and see this kind of shit. It's exactly what triggers her. Before she had an ED she wanted to be skinny, and this is the kind of crap that helped her go into a downward spiral. An eating disorder is a mental illness. What you're doing is like taunting someone with a learning disability.

These blogs offer advice to people trying to hide their ED, and it gives the idea that maybe she can succeed in trying it again. You never know what could trigger someone with an ED. I know another girl with an ED who's a dancer, because her parents put her into dance. When they discovered her ED, for some reason they let her keep on dancing, even though all her triggers came from dance: girls there called her names. She became a ticking time bomb after that. And the girls there convinced her to start purging. She also would feel pressure at school, envying her more petite classmates. So how would it make her feel to have this stress at home, online? When her parents found out she had bulimia, they sheltered her in all the wrong ways, and now she has both anorexia and bulimia.

So you tell me how this shit you post makes those two girls feel any better.

Yes! This is a very powerful paradigm shift. I read someone's twitter once and they said "i love you, whether you love me is irrelevant." I thought that was very inspirational, to be able to separate your emotions from what you could receive in return.

This echos something I've been telling myself for years (and more recently friends who deal with acceptance). What people like or don't like about me is nothing to be insulted or even proud of. The fact that I don't like pineapple shouldn't be understood as though there is something wrong with pineapple, many people love pineapple, but I don't. Why should me liking someone or someone not liking me be understood as a negative critique rather than simply an expression of what I or they like or don't like.
