Did you see the movie 'The Tao of Steve'?

1. Eliminate your desires. If you're out with a girl & your thinking about getting laid, your finished. Women can smell an agenda.

2. You need to do something excellent in her presense, therefore proving your sexual worthiness.

3. After you elminate your desire and after you've proven your excellence, you must retreat.

We pursuit that which retreats from us

Steve is the prototypical cool american male. Steve McGarrett, Steve Austin, Steve McQueen. He never tries to impress the women but he always gets the girl.

Steve is the man on the horse, the guy alone. He has his own code of honor, his own code of ethics, his own rules of living.

Steve isn't just a name, it's a state of mind. It's a way of living. James Bond is Steve, Spiderman is Seve.

If your not a Steve then your a Stu. Jughead is a Stu. Barney Fife is a Stu.

Cheers,
Aquaman

if you carefully review the timing and history of James Bond - he was meant to be representative of what Great Britain aspired to be, but wasn't, during the Cold War.

the british empire was/had imploded - the brits were
no longer a superpower (supplanted by U.S. and Soviets)
hence Bond is a "player" on the international scene - in the middle of everthing worldy and important

the brits are reputed to be rife with homosexuals in their foreign ministry (working for the soviets as spys)
hence Bond is a raging heterosexual

the brits were not the Alpha dog anymore - second fiddle to the U.S.
hence in all the Bond movies, the CIA types are always pals, but not the smartest, and not the ones to "solve" the problem.

Bond was England's answer to becoming a lessor player on the international scene.

by the way - I didn't think this up - someone else did.

I personally think such academics are full of cr@p


lol I honestly hope those people didnt spend countless hours watching the films over and over again, or were awarded doctorates using that as their thesis.

Bond? Never mind asking why Bond always gets the women. The larger question is why Adam Sandler gets any woman, ever, even in a movie.

Bond is meant to get the women with the way he talks and his confidence. The real question is how does Ross on Friends get any women? If I ever met a guy like him in real life I would do him the favor of beating him senseless.

You must not have spent any time in higher education.
And that's not meant as a slam on you either :D

At least crap like this is analyzed more in private universities...I'd be pissed if my tax dollars were funding bullsh!t like this.

More to the point, how on Earth did he ever get Rachel? She must REALLY have poor eyesight... :D
