[edit] What is an asshole?

A proper asshole, in his living environment

It's a long debated subject: how does one characterize a proper asshole?

Any English dictionary will give you this as meaning:

ass·hole ([as-hohl]):

-noun Vulgar.

 1.Anus
 2.Slang.
   a. a stupid, mean or contemptible person.
   b. the worst part of a place or thing.

-adjective

 3. 'Slang. Stupid, mean or contemptible.

Now, this article is talking about assholes in a sense of being, so assuming an anus can't read this article (which is actually hard), we're talking of course about the second meaning that the English dictionary gives us.

So, an asshole is a contemptible person. But isn't he/she so much more?

Isn't it true that there is a whole lifestyle behind assholity?

Most of you might think that and it's most likely true, because if an asshole was just any contemptible person, wouldn't that make every single member of the entire population of the world an asshole?

Wouldn't that make it really, really easy to become one?

Wouldn't that take away the entire craftsmanship of becoming a true, fine young asshole?

I think to most sensible people, the answer would be "Yes".

[edit] Why would you want to be one?

One of the downsides of being an asshole is that you WILL look totally stupid.

But why would you want to be an asshole? It's true that there are lot of downsides to assholeship:

To become one, you're forced to look really, really stupid
Some people may not like you (maybe that's why you'll be called an asshole, Einstein)
Competition in the craftsmanship can be rough.

But does it weight up to the upsides of this form of personal image. Most people will say "No". They will clarify this by sentences such as:

"God, you're such an asshole, I hate you!"
"Man, fuck you! You're just an asshole with no [insert positive thing here]"

But to the few, assholeship is seen as a very useful tool to make it in society. After all, Voltaire, Mark Twain and Your Mom all said it correctly:

“Placing second in life's game is the nice mans goal, but stealing his first place and screwing his wife; that's just for assholes.”

~ Voltaire, Mark Twain and your mom

When even that doesn't sound logical, consider this: isn't it true that, no matter what you think about assholes, no one ever seems to shut the fuck up about them?

Hate them or love them, it's a fact that ever since the beginning of time, assholes claimed their rightful place in society.

So I guess the biggest plus about being an asshole is that you earn a place in society and you will be known and be recognized as an asshole. That's part of the reason why everyone secretly wants to be one and partly the reason why the craftsmanship around it is so hard.

[edit] Step 1: Study your audience

Okay, now that you've determined that you want to be an asshole, you'll want to know who you're going to convince that you've got what it takes to be a real asshole.

So, you ask yourself: "Who is my audience?" In 90 percent of the cases, the audience is a bunch of teenagers. That's because teenagers are the most responsive group when it comes to being an asshole. Old people usually have the experience when it comes to asshole: they have had their time and thus, their fair share of assholes, making the much harder to convince.

Teenagers however lack this experience. They're more angstful than any group in society. That's because they've got more on their mind than any age group on this planet:

Babies just shit their pants
Kids just throw dung at each other
Adults just make money
Old people just die

[edit] Step 2: Be a Hater

Wrong!

So, you've come to the conclusion that it's teenagers you should target. So now, you start by introducing yourself to the audience.

Keep this short and simple, just the basic facts, no need to be all cocky about it or you'll blow your cover. Introduce yourself as a normal guy with no real goals in life, apart from just living it. That will make the surprise even bigger when they find out that you're really just a sleazy asshole.

After that, you'll start the hate. Now, this might seem complex, but it's actually really easy:

Step 1: Pick the most corny band/lifestyle/sport/whatever and endorse it 24/7
Step 2: Take the most opposite of these corney things and hate on it. Also done 24/7.
Step 3: Voilá! You're now a certified hater.

Now you might say "But how do I know what's corny and what's not?". This of course is an easy question to answer. You do this by following three criteria:

Criteria 1: Is MTV into it?
Criteria 2: Is it popular?
Criteria 3: Are fellow assholes into it?

The most important criteria is criteria 3. It's a good thing to follow other assholes. Become friends with them. Find out what they're into and most important:

TAKE OVER!

[edit] Step 3: Babysteps. Think Babysteps.

One thing to know is that becoming an asshole is exact science. This isn't just full throttle and off to sweet victory.

No, it's much more complex than that.

The road to assholedom is long and wide. It's a common trapdoor that you can just become a mayor league asshole in one day. Most of these people who think it's just one gaint leap for douchekind end up becoming nothing but an average, peanut league asshole.

Taking babysteps to assholedom is vital to the longevity of you assholedom: people will remember you longer as an asshole if it took you 1 year instead of just 1 day.

It's also important to your assholefuel: if you blow you assholefuel within one day, people will think it was some kind of joke and you'll be forced to return to your normal, non-asshole image.

So then, spread that fuel: think about that long road again: If you spill your fuel fast, you will go really fast down that road and will go nowhere, but if you spread it, you just might make it.

[edit] Step 4: You're always right. Ever

Remember that assholes are never wrong. Or at least think they're never wrong.

They might be wrong sometimes (well, actually, most of the time, if not always), but, really, who cares? Just keep on going that you are right. In that way, people will:

Think you are
Get annoyed with you really, really fast.

Keep the pressure up with this one. If you do this one right, it will become your second nature and you're already becoming an asshole to remember.

Of course this isn't easy. Most things that seem fun or cool tend to be harder when it comes down to it. The vital thing to remember with this is to pull through. Keep your head hight and keep on walking. In this way, true assholeshipsman is within grasp.
