If You Think You Are an Alpha Male--Then You Aren't a Cellphone Junkie!

Much of this article you are about to read I wrote 8 years ago. What I had to say then is even more relevant now as cellphone use is more extensive and the phone has become more versatile with its features.

I address this post to self-described alpha males. You know, guys who still have testosterone, are doers not watchers of life and have not bought into the LIE of how the modern male "should" be, which is, basically women with penises. Please read my post about masculinity if you haven't already, it's called, "Wimps and Toxic Masculinity" written on July 14, 2022. You can access it on the Archive section to the right of this page. Here goes:

You see people on cellphones everywhere --on the street--in the stores--on the beaches--in the parks-- and quite unbelievably--in their cars. People staring blankly at the screens--texting or talking. Just today I saw many people looking at their phones while driving--forget the number who were actually talking on them. At the retail store where I once worked, people were looking at them as they shopped while others were on their phone carrying on conversations. 

On television you will see the cameras scan a crowd and there will be people staring into their phones. Why? Do people forget that there was once a time when you missed calls you still got the message on your machine at home? Remember when people actually went out and were observant and engaged in their surroundings, with each other and were not staring at a phone? To me, this is the potential BIG loss in excessive cellphone use, not being engaged in your surroundings, this includes the people who are right next to you.

Cellphones are addictive, and for the most part, unnecessary. As I referenced earlier, cellphones have become more addictive as they have gained extra special features and with the things you can do with them.

But, I don't address this message to everyone. I am talking here to you alpha males who have, over time, gotten sucked into using the cellphone far too much. My call is to not be a slave to what I believe is the worst invention ever. One that has permanently altered the way people interact with each other, and again, their surroundings.

Leave the f'ng thing in your car or at home when you go out. And to you guys who take their cellphones to the gym, STOP! If you take "selfies" while working out, you may be too far gone to save. Only half kidding with that last one.

Upward and Onward!
