What BlackManAbroad is doing in 2017

BMA’s Plans for 2017

2016 was a great year. Some people may say that is was the worst year in the history of mankind but those people are as sensitive as my dick tip.

In less than 24 hours I will be taking my biggest adventure to date.

10 countries. 6 months. 1 hell of an adventure.

England. Germany. UAE. Thailand. Laos. Cambodia. Vietnam. Indonesia. Philippines. Australia and then back to Europe where I plan on living in Poland long term. My trip visualized.

Krabi Beach, Krabi Thailand

I’m going to be motorbiking down the Vietnam coast for one month. Living in a penthouse in Bangkok for 2 weeks.  Living Bali for 1 month. Going  back to Melbourne, Australia for a few weeks. And once those few months of chaotic travel are over, I’ll settle down and live in Poland for several months and knock out some work there.

I’m excited, but at the same time anxious. My paranoid mother thinks I’m going to die somehow. Donald Trump says that all muslims are out to get us and the media says that the world is going to shit.

Since my first time abroad in 2014, I’ve halved my possessions and own only what I love and care about. I no longer have two 50 pound check in bags, but instead just a 35 pound check in and a carry on. I have a basic wardrobe consisting of neutral colors, a couple of boots and leather sneakers. It’s crazy how I  can wake up at 7:50 and be ready for the day at 8 without putting too much thought into what I’m wearing. I find this extremely liberating.

Even though this trip will have its fair share of hedonistic pleasures; parting, females, alcohol and relaxation, I plan on getting plenty of work done. Expanding this blog, taking more pictures of my traveling, and growing my stock portfolio.

You can follow my adventures @properrobinson. If you’re in a city I’m going to be in, be sure to message me on this site or PM me on Instagram.

Take care

Disregard Females- The LenaThePlug Story

January 26, 2017

 

What dollar bills are to strippers, your attention is to women on social media. Your attention is a valuable currency and whether that is a like, follow, comment or subscription, must be budgeted and spent on things accordingly. 

$extape

You may have about LenaThePlug. She’s the girlfriend of “Adam22” who runs NoJumper on YouTube and interviews underground rappers and vlogs about BMX and random shit. On January 17th LenaThePlug released a video called “$extape at 1Mil” (1 million subscribers on YouTube). At the time of the upload she had 30,000 subscribers. 8 days later, January 25th, she has hit 300,000 and I was there when it happened.

 

(That was of 8:00 pm, the 25th of January. As of 11:54 pm she has 313,920. Can you believe that? That’s 13,920 thirsty, beta men.)

When I first saw the video 7 days ago, I disregarded her presence. I admonished her. “Who cares…” I thought. There are litteraly enough porn videos on the internet to last 1000 lifetimes of non-stop masterbation. But what happened in 7 days shocked me. At first low-level “news” outlets picked it up (WorldStarHipHop), then ComplexNews (1.5 million subscribers) then Express News picked it up, one of London’s largest news outlets. I was shocked. I began to take notice. How can we give this girl, who offers nothing of value than a big ass, mundane vlogs and a wet hole so much national attention? If you know a little human history it turns out to be very simple answer. Let me explain…

Hottentot Venus

A Man’s Worth in 2017

As you know, in 2017, any girl can have a fat ass, breast implants, and decent facial genetics to make more in a month than the average American will in a lifetime. Instagram “models” and girls like “LenaThePlug” are the modern day Hottentot Venus (good wiki read). Hottentot was an African women who lived during the 1700’s. While she was alive, she was known for her voluptuous bottom. Hottentot would travel around Europe as a circus freak and was gawked over and whored out to European men.

I want men to realize that no matter how many times they comment “heart eyes emoji” or tell an Instagram “model” that they’re “perfect”, that they will disregard you and expose your neediness to their followers..  We have to realize that they don’t give a shit about our compliments and recieve them litteraly more times us men can fathom…. Once again your attention is a currency and must be spent wisely. I cannot say this enough. We as men need to stop this neediness before its too late and our stock collapses. The guy who’s pounding your #WCW is not commenting or liking her pics. Chances are, he might now even follow her.

If we as men learn to disregard girls like this, their power will be admonished. 

“The person who cares the least or has the least investment of has the most power”

Since the beginning of time, men had the power, we cared less and in turn had more power than women. This is when the 1st wave of feminism kicked in during the during the 1920’s, which I support. In recent decades, more specifically the last 10 years of the internet era, the tables have turned. A new wave of extremist feminism emerged. What are you fighting for? You have won. The wage gap has been debunked and if allotted, women too can get a million dollars with a 10th of the effort us men put in.

To raise your value as a man you must go to the gym 5x a week, keep a strict diet, have a masculine personality and be a savage in the sexual marketplace. For a woman to become an Instagram “model” and gain the lust and yearning of 250,000 men, you must have one of the following-

  • a fat ass
  • fake tits
  • decent facial genetics

Do you remember when Kim Kardishans sextape “leaked”? That wasn’t an accident. That was the initial catalyst, a spark,  for her billion dollar “career” of iPhone apps and updating to the richest, most famous husband. That will go down in the history books as the most strategic business move in American history. Even though she offers nothing more than a wet hole, drama and a shockingly large ass, we still worship women like this, even though she is nothing more than a modern day Hottentot Venus.

When we put women like this on a pedestal, they metaphorically will look down to us. This destroys attraction and contributes to the over-inflated ego we see now in Western society women. Have you wondered why that “decent” looking girl acts like she runs the world? Well she has 500 Tinder matches, 1000 thirsty men on Instagram and Beyonce confirming she can. When you disregard her and treat her like a normal human being, her ego will come down to Earth.

What else bothers me is how a man can work on his YouTube channel for years, buy ads for it, promote it, do giveaways and maybe get 200,0o0 subscribers. And here comes a girl with a fat ass and offers no value to to world other than litteraly a wet hole and receives 1,000,0o0 subscribers. How about that? And the irony is that we still have feminists bitching about inequality and objectification.

How Money Buys Respect

A man can not buy their worth, it is simply impossible. Yes you can get facial surgery because you will look effeminate. You can buy clothes but that can only go so far. A woman, on the other hand, can spent $2,500 on fake tits and receive attention and approval from thousands of males. She will become self-absorbed and over inflated self-worth will rise because of all of the attention she’s receiving from men.

I want my brothers, both black and men,  to know their worth and admonish girls who have not earned their respect, but rather feel entitled to it because of their fake tits and big butt. The sexual marketplace in 2017 is the wild wild fucking west. As a man, you have to be a savage. Ruthless. Masculine. Unapologetic (Do you see the similarities in Trump?). Women are swapped with endless options that litteraly hasn’t been seen in the history of the humanity. What makes you so special to a woman? At any given time, a woman has a Rolodex of 100 dudes who are better looking, richer and more alpha than you. And in under 60 minutes they’ll show up at her doorstep.

I am bettering myself every. fucking, day. through fitness, literature and travel. And here comes a girl with a fat ass who will acquire enough money in a few months, for me to retire on for the rest of my life with. Because Instagram, and YouTube have no barriers to entry, I find it crazy that any woman can do this.

The Future for LenaThePlug

By the time you read this, she probably reached 1,000,000 subscribers. She will get $250,000 in ad revenue a month from YouTube, she’ll recieve several sponsorships from lingerie shops and have bought a new BMW. This moment in her life has secured the financial freedom for not just her, but potentially for the next 2 of her generations. Things like this happen because we, as men, put her on a pedestal and value this kind of whoredom. We value women who offer no worth but have a nice ass. We value women who are What will she do once her sextape is released and she has nothing of value to add to YouTube? She will be like the Enron stock and collapse. She will offer no value once she releases her sex tape. What is there to look at? We’ve seen all you. You have nothing to add to the world.

We as men must travel to where girls like this are not valued by the local females. To where they have higher morals than to value whoredom and fame and instead feminine values. Yes feminine.  Not androgynous, nor masculine. Feminine.

While I do recommend online dating for men, I only recommend it once they have increased their sexual value through fitness and reading. Otherwise, just like expired bananas, you will be chucked in the bin in this 2017 sexual marketplace.

Watch out for part 2 of “Disregard Females, Instagram “Models” and Arab Sponsors“. Should be a good one.

Take care,

-BlackManAbroad

City Guide: Melbourne, Australia

August 19, 2016

Melbourne Australia BMA

Overview of Melbourne, Aus (mɛl-bən)

Melbourne. Or male-bun.

My favorite city and apparently, a lot of others.

The world’s most liveable city for the past 5 years.

In the summertime, the high rarely tops 80. On the off chance that it spikes past 105 and humid, the following day is sure to bring relief with a high of 75 and a nippy wind chill. Melbourne has a nickname. The “4 seasons in a day city” . I can remember on one occasion where I woke up to an overcast and dreary sky for it to only storm by noon and and end the day with a beautiful sunset over Port Phillip.

Melbourne is an interesting place. A hipster, artsy vibe and one of the most diverse places that I’ve ever been to.

Greek, Swedish, German, South African, Sudanese, Brazilian, Chinese, Thai, Australian… There were people from literally  every continent in a 500 feet radius wherever you go. I’m sure you could find an Antarctic person somewhere too…

A very expensive city but the quality of life makes up for it. Amazing weather, beautiful people and a high minimum wage. Hosting in the USA begging for tips? Not here. You’re guaranteed $18 per hour. Tips are optional.

Costs (AUD)

Poor man’s budget: $50 a day

Beer– Pint: $9

Hostel Room: $25 a day, $200 a week

Food: $15 for a bowl of curry, rice and drink

Other: Victoria Transit is 4.50 a trip.

The Nightlife

 

When I first came to Melbourne I had no idea what was good. Here’s some of the best in Melbs.

Melbourne- Docklands
This is a great little precinct which has plenty of bars and clubs in a smallish area. Alumbra lounge comes to mind, it’s stylish, it’s elegant, plays a good mix of music. Just head down to docklands and bounce from venue to venue.

CBD
Plenty of venues in the city, they really opened up the bar scene here and some quality venues have appeared. Boney, ABC and Trill are great on Thursdays and Fridays. Like most Melbourne venues they are mostly small bars and lounges scattered throughout the city. Just take a wander up Bourke St and you will stumble upon something that suits you.

Pharan*

The infamous Chapel Street. Take some Chap Laps, talk to some ladies and hit up some bars. Pharan has great music, affordable drinks and surprisingly a better night out than in the city. On the Windsor side, check out Blue Bar, Lucky Coq and 56 Bricks.

Fitzroy*
A bit of a clubbing scene. Laundry Bar comes to mind if you like hip-hop

Again just hop around and see what you like, expect to pay a cover charge for the larger venues, $10 – $20 depending on the time and venue. You could honestly spend a month in Melbourne and still be undecided which bar/club you want to go for the night!

Accommodation

Housing is expensive in Melbourne. The hostels tend to be really classy but will come at a price of $30 a night.. for a 12 share.

I would recommend the YHA Central on Flinders St. In fact ALL of the YHA’s are amazing. I recommend on getting a membership if you plan on staying for an extended ammount of time. But I recommend that if you’re in Melbs for more than a month, make some friends in the hostel and rent a place together. Hostel life gets stressful.

Getting Around

Portsea Australia Melbourne

Portsea, Victoria

Melbourne was the first city that I’ve been to which had a legit form of transportation. You can go from anywhere to anywhere. Literally. 

A ticket for a 2-hour trip is $3.50. You can take as many trips (trains, trams and busses) in those 2 hours.

Just watch out for the ticket inspectors. They’ll fine you $200 if you’re caught without a MyKi ticket.

You can go on a daytrip to Portsea or Geelong or around $10.

I’m Bored- WHAT TO DO

Some people claim that Melbourne is boring. If Melbourne is boring, you must have never been to the south (Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee), that shit is boring. Melbourne is to Sydney as San Fran is to Los Angeles. Melbourne has many cool art galleries.

Check out-

  • Crown Casino*- Largest Casino in the Southern Hemisphere. Has 10 bars… and 2 super-clubs. Go here when your Friday night’s free and you’re looking

    Grampians National Park- Victoria

    Grampians National Park- Victoria

    for a good time, and maybe, to make a little cash (and lose it like I did).

  • National Gallery, Victoria- Free art exhibits. Has art from all time periods. Neoclassical, realism, cubism, abstract. Take the train to Flinders Street.
  • MCG- The Melbourne Cricket Ground is a 100k capacity coliseum. Go here for cricket, AFL and rugby games.
  • Grampians National Park*- A 3 hour drive from Melbs lies some of the most beautiful scenery in all of Victoria. You can see Kookaburras, Kangaroos, Koalas and other cool ass Aussie animals. Amazing hikes with breathtaking views.

Hungry?- What to eat

Because of Melbourne’s diverse background, you can can have a traditional Nepalese curry for lunch and have a 3am American Cheeseburger at 8Bit.

Italian- Lygon Street. Go there. Some of the greatest Italian food I’ve ever had. It even comes with the over aggressive Italian guy who shoves you into his restaurant and offers to pay for your “first glass of wine”.

American- There’s not too much American food in Melbourne surprisingly. For the best burgers head to 8Bit in Footscray or in the CBD (Central Business District).

Asian– Check out Chin Chin or Longrain in the CBD.

THE BOTTOM LINE

Melbourne is the shit. If you’re young and want some new experiences, check out my guide to an Australian working holiday here.
