Nah I realized the slow and steady path is the only way forwards. I decided on eating out + sugar-sweetened foods for what I will give up next. I will attain perfection just u wait.
A guy messaged me and said i was pretty. His body is literally perfect. He is the first one that meets my criteria after like 1k grinder dms. It's like I finally farmed a shiny Pokémon.
Do you believe all passions can be tempered? Like if I stop cold turkey nicotine then the graph will trend downwards to zero in theory? What about things like desire for a partner or any other desire?
I literally hate public sector workers. Going on strike every other year and shit cuz they don't make 40 dollars an hour. FUCK YOU CANADA POST WORKERS. YOU DESERVE NOTHING.
I feel like my brain gave up after I lost my job. Everyone is telling me different things to do with my life. Now I just don't know at all. What would you do if you were a 26 y/o unemployed Canadian that doesn't pay rent and is in debt 11k?
obviously looks good but has a very feminine boyish face. Looks kinda silly all around. There are much more beautiful faces/bodies out there. Not attracted to him at all personally.
i feel like mushrooms permanently changed my brain. like you know how you can somehow see the inherent aesthetic of everything when your high? sometimes my brain falls back into that mode and i have a mini panic/shame attack and I stop.
gavin got shut down for proudboys, milo for advocating grooming, peterson brain damage, alex sandy hook/taken off social media, kanye all his moneys gone, tate put in prison/taken off social media
i'll never get over how all the right-wing/anti woke commentators got taken out like The Watchmen or some shit gavin, milo, peterson, alex, kanye, tate, kirk all one by one. You can't write this shit.
https://np.reddit.com/r/GuyCry/comments/1nj1liq/i_opened_up_to_my_gf_she_dumped_me/?sort=controversial what does /u/lilithofbabylon have to say about all this?? WHERE IS LILITH
all the fake natties have ruined people's perception of what is actually possible (or not possible) natty. The asymptote is way lower than what people assume. Whatever idc think what you want.
i saw a pic of him when he was like 17 and fucking yoked. Like it would take someone before steroids to train for 20 years with peak genetics to get to where he was.
the standard method is to try to recall your dreams when you wake up and dream journal. The more minimalist method (which I invented) is to trace backwards through your dreams upon waking using only your mind. Just set the intention to remember every morning even if you can't remember anything. Evetually you will be able to remember 3-4 different dreams a night. Setting intentions the night before is also a big help. The thing is that you are ACTUALLY dreaming it's just that you don't remember. …
There is this Chad at my work. Looks about 6'6 with a filled out frame. God I wish I was him. Im just a meager 6 flat and skinny I feel like being 6 flat doesn't generate attraction it's just the bar to get in there, but above 6'2 it starts to work in your favour.
Construction is hard work but it's kinda chill at the same time. Everyone just works at their own pace mostly and you get breaks. Dishwashing on the other hand is less strenuous but it's just go go go with no breaks throughout the day. You need to be fast.
i live in canada and a woman of that girth is rare. even if 99% of women were as fat as her it still wouldn't be average because you literally don't have to do anything to not be fat. it's like saying someone that huffs glue is of average intelligence.
You know what Buddhamaxxing hasn't been going very well. I just had two beers after 6 months of not drinking anything. Now I'm thinking of going back to kratom. I'm losing faith that tempering desires actually works.
Work sucks. They put me on close literally every day this week. After work I need to walk home 1 hr because transit doesn't run. I need some way to enjoy myself outside of work. I'm thinking of doing kratom again. Alcohol is pretty solid too.
Not being able to self-introspect and calling others narcissists are exactly the symptoms of narcissism. It’s called projection. From my experience, a lot of women are like this. It’s not that they consciously choose to avoid introspection - they simply don’t have the ability to do so. A lot of women lie to each other or just keep validating themselves, which prevents real self-reflection. You’re never really “checked.” No one gives it to you straight, so you end up developing a false sense of r…
Kinda wild that SSRIs can kill someone's sexuality permanently (genital numbness, can't reach orgasm) (even when you come off) and they are handed out like candies. This shit is evil. I was lucky enough that my sexuality came back, but some aren't so lucky.
I remember when my friend was venting to me about his frustration with the immigration/TFW situation in Canada. I tried to console him by saying at least they weren't muslim and he agreed. We had a good laugh about that.
i have an intuition that my past depressive/suicidal episodes were born out of denying my authentic self and refusing to follow my heart at every turn im probably wrong but i dont care im gonna go off my medication in a years time when i get out of debt and have money, then i will embark on my journey https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFBuWtcfDiM
I agree. I think being old and wealthy is an attainable goal for most people though. I'm planning on investing 50k with my initial retirement number being 75 (in case I live that long) before I move onto the next phase of my life. It's crazy how much you gain over a time horizon of 45 years+.
it's healthy. You're moving around constantly but not exerting yourself to the point of causing musculoskeletal injury like in construction. Talking to people is a smaller part of the job. And u get eyed up by all the cute servers.
idk i really really would like a boyfriend but rarely do gay guys meet my standard or are interested in a relationship to begin with. I just said that because I am in zero contact with women.
I found a monastary in asia that accepts western practitioners. It's all I've wanted to do since I was 16 (don't make fun of me). It will take me a year to prepare. The only problem is im bipolar and heavily medicated. I wonder if I'll be able to do it.
Does anyone have success stories of coming off your medication and not falling back into another depressive/psychotic episode? I am bipolar for context.
im tired of being a mediocre meditator. I want to push to the next level as soon as possible. I'm right on the cusp of where things start to open up. I made a post about it yesterday.
I don't want to hurt people. I feel this wish deep in my soul. I want to conduct myself with nothing but kindness and understanding going forwards. Even to my enemies.
Found a fresh pack of cigs on the ground today, and when I'm on day 5 of no nicotine of all times! I think it's a sign from God to start smoking again. OOH BOY they are nice.
26 y/o looking back... after doing a 180 I realize my life went wrong not because a lack of opportunities, but due to ignorance and a lacking in my heart. I am on the right path now but I still need to turn inwards. I have a newfound temperance, but now I need consistent, rock-solid fortitude. If I can have that then the sky is the limit for me.
I've read so many guys saying their going to unalive because they never had sex. It's like killing yourself because you can't eat cheeseburgers - straight up the dumbest thing ever.
My mind stays on the object continuously and without effort. Even after a year of not meditating I can still attain this state - like it is hardwired into my brain.
I literally can't stand not being in school or working. Just jerking off as CC debt weighs on my shoulders n shit. I got that immigrant mentality but nowhere to funnel it.
i think the path for me is to give up all entertainment and just meditate with 80-90% of my free time. It's the only way my angst/dread goes away. I did 3 hours of meditation last night but caved in this morning. It's so hard to be consistent.
I am going to ween myself off of nicotine. I just switched from 20mg/ml to 10. After I accilmatize I am going half and half 10/0 in my vape. Hopefully the withdrawals aren't too bad.
i can't believe i signed up for full time construction. it's finally time for my twink ass to nut up and be a man. if i fail i will dishonour my entire familly and myself good news is that you will hear less from me
Sometimes I wonder how I would do if I didn't have a credit card or LoC. I would have to beg my Mom for money for beans and toast rather than continuously digging myself in a hole with my braindead spending. TBH I think Dave Ramsey is kinda based for saying not to use credit cards. For a subset of his listeners they might save like $5 a month and for another subset they completely ruin their life through compounding debt.
I finished my final exam today! [I am now prepared for nursing school.] (https://cdn-images.dzcdn.net/images/cover/c76d2fb64545ae1fc6849afdd104c910/1900x1900-000000-80-0-0.jpg)
I don't care that I'm behind in life. I'm still going to achieve everything that I've ever wanted and then some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaqdK6JPpcg
No not really. My family doesn't really have much to offer. I'm the only one who went onto/is going into higher education. I don't talk to my dad anymore and he is kinda clueless about most things to begin with. The closest thing I have is my best friend but he is heavily into tech and is constantly telling me to start some tech business which I'm not interested in. We always have converations about our plans and how we're going to make it. When I was younger I idolized an author and tried to fo…
Trying not to overshare too much again, I'm not attracted to him but it's a crazy feeling having someone worship your body to the point they literally pay you and they don't even want you to do anything sexual to them. He just wants to touch me... Just needed to get it out.
I remember I read a post on reddit claiming communists were the economic version of incels, then drew all the parallels between them and communists. It literally blew my mind.
I feel like most people have a base visceral reaction to anything political, then they try to reverse-engineer their logic/beliefs to support it. They just larp like they do it the other way around. It's how I form my opinions at least.
I coomed to porn, bought a nicotine vape, and ate out. How far I've fallen from where I once was, gloating on reddit and all. Renunciation is the simplest practice in the world but also one of the most difficult. I swear I'm gonna make it one day.
I get called handsome a lot/get complemented on my eyes... Last time was a week ago. I typically enjoy it unless it's a gay guy hitting on me. Good for my self-esteem.
Are there any less retarded subs that acutally give good advice and are filled with smart people? After reading rollo tomassi I have exhausted the golden nugget supply of pill shit. It seems like half the red pill people here haven't even read rollo tomassi. I need more golden nuggets. Everywhere else I look it's just hurr durr buy etfs. Like I know that already.
Nah men are more wonderful. Built all of society and modern science. All the great artists and geniuses have been men. It's literally impossible for there to be a female John von Neumann.
I only need 40% on my final exam. Just need to hit a layup and this misery can end. I feel like I'm gonna fuck it up anyways. In other news my investment is up 4%, but I only made $13... I literally can't stand being out of the market for so long. I'm gonna get a real job as soon as my exam is over.
i watched a depression video about a bipolar guy in his 50s that reviews games on his shitty youtube channel. It's crazy hearing someone that old reference everything in life through the lens of pop-culture. He's like omg i was so excited about the new zootopia movie optimus prime is my favourite transformer funko pops yadda yadda like all he has ever lived for is media. i don't care im judgemental
yes I talk "gay" when I'm not on guard or I slip up/with other gay people. The personality I have 99% of the time is a mask. You probably don't have this issue because you talk like a woman and are a woman too lol.
google it b*tch! it is very interesting. he travelled to isolated tribes in south america or something to try to find universal body language nonverbals. 🧠🧠🧠
sup homies, how are u (i don't care) i accidentally talked to someone like such a f*g yesterday. I also said some awkward shit that caused him to flash a paul ekman disgust microexpression. I really wish I wasn't so cringe, but it can't be helped. i am developing an irrational fear that ppl irl know me on this subreddit and all the fucked up stuff ive admitted since I showed my face. (still haven't deleted)
So they can throw me in the looney bin, take away my freedom, monitor me 24/7, and make me even more depressed? it's what i did. turns out i was undiagnosed bipolar. now im on medication and actually feel like a normal person. tbh i actually liked my little community of crazy people in the hospital.
any advice on how to build muscle? I'm going to do 15 sets a week of pushups and eat a bunch of ground beef. Maybe if the scale doesn't move after a month I will eat more.
i can't deal with the fact that I will slowly lose all my athletic ability and looks as i get older. literally the saddest thing about life even worse than your mom dying.
LOL i said my friends were stoners. i always refuse weed at parties cuz it gives me anxiety. in all honesty i picked it up again a couple months ago after literally like 6 years for about 3 weeks but gave it up since since it fucks with my psychosis
why u doubt a conversation I had with my stoner friends lol?, cuz I'm just a socially isolated nerd right? Doesn't fit your little framework you built up 😂
1 month ago 3.5M: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8VVuRfbRAQ 1 year 14M: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnZmRWTSyLs 250k is a shitton for rumble framing this as a 13y/o kid thing is dishonest. I literally had a conversation about tate with my group of 5 26y/o friends
What? Even if he raped people or whatever his message is totally out there. Most people dont care anyways cuz he's fkn hilarious. if diddy said the moon is made of cheese 10000x then that's gonna be on people's minds.
fuuck what is there to do on a Sunday other than refresh reddit every 10 seconds and annoy people/be cringe? i am waiting for my open mat (i train bro)
being 160lbs, im realizing literally anyone can kick my ass. I'm kinda insecure about it. I'm like half between a woman and a real man. At least I height mog everyone. maybe I should become obese because putting on muscle doesn't work... I will miss my perfect abs though.
I'm always browsing reddit for the nugget of gold that upgrades my life, but it never comes. It's all just the same shit. I already know what to do but it's so slooooow.
Does it ever hit u how much potential you have. Like if u worked on something every day and set your mind to it how much can actually be achieved in life?
is there some sort of degree in intersexual dynamics I'm not aware of? What 'educational experience' is better than lived experience in this area? Also you know that reading a book does not preclude you from going outside and talking to women? The reason TRP resonates is because it is reflected in people's lived experience.
So when James Clear writes "Atomic Habits" does all of the advice in that book become invalid since he obviously cares about making money? How is that any different other than "I just don't like Rollo and I personally think he's wrong". You see how your argument doesn't make sense? I'm not sure what the point of linking that timeline was but when I used to watch his podcast he was pretty open about all of this. You should look up the "argument from hypocrisy fallacy".
it's a mixed bag for me. I think virtue is the highest good and living according to reason is probably a good idea but but I don't think their cognitive reframing ideals are attainable or very useful. Seneca's letters are a pleasure to read though.
i literally hate how feminine I am. I've had people guess that I'm gay. My dad literally forced me into construction because he said I wasn't masculine enough.
I don't feel a spark with the person I'm seeing. Hanging out is okay but it's just whatever like I'm hanging out with anyone. He tries messaging me every weekend. Idk if I should ghost him or stick it out.
bjj is my favourite sport but I'm terrified of fucking up my ACL/fingers or something. I've just decided to just say fuck it and follow my passion, injury and all.
My goal is to stay minimalist my entire life. I will never own a car or a house. The only thing I will own that doesn't fit in my backpack will be equities.
I can probably save up to 100k before 30 if I work this next year non stop. But I don't want too. I am far too lazy. Should I get 100k or just not work? First world conundrums.
I'm pretty liberal when it comes to the right to die/MAID. I'd like it if it were offered without needing to demonstrate a grievous and irremidable disease too. At least in america you have guns. Over here we need to risk some debilitating injury if we fail.
I wish I could get an education outside of the sciences. It would be so much more fun than staring at the same Anki card 40 times in a row or wanting to frisbee my laptop against the wall because I can't get something to compile.
It leads me to be mentally diffuse. Rather than reading I just listen to music and click around because it's easier. I'm an all or nothing person. Either something is in my life or it's not.
I already said the logical jump was thinking the lonely male epidemic is due to selfishness. I'm not disputing your point about selfishness and certainly not "mad" about it lol. My logic is consistent.
"The men here" is an extension of the "male loneliness epidemic" and you commented "let me explain" with a meme directly beneath it, but sure try to weasel your way to a W king.
Because the thread is about a 'male loneliness epidemic' and you pile massive shit on the kids here daily. It literally went "male loneliness epidemic > let me explain"
Thinking the lonely young men on this sub are in their predicament because they are selfish thus push people away, or whatever other victim blamey thing you cook up on the day.
omg im jooooking im joooooooooooking but srsly tho since u asked... temperance, asceticism, frugality, minimalism, honesty, kindness, and industry are all virtues I work on daily.
Addiction is such a weird thing. I got through the first 24 hours of nicotine withdrawals easily and even though the second day was like 50% easier my brain was like "let's get another nicotine vape wouldn't that be awesome?"
what really fucked me up was that all the brothers have a nickname that they use. I didn't realize they were talking about the one brother until halfway through the book.
I think I felt love for the first time this year. It was just the beginnings... it's clear that he didn't care about me like that though. I don't really talk to him much anymore... it would be nice to share that with someone eventually. I want to cry.
Insults always seem unsavoury irrispective of the context. They can be satisfying in the moment but looking back I always regret it. I think I will make the rule "never insult someone, even if they insult me first".
I was reading through the tipitaka and there was a line in there that said to abandon all thoughts of cruelty, due to them causing vexation. I'm trying it out and it feels like an upgrade; like I have a forcefield around me. I think I will add a new rule "eliminate all thoughts of physical or verbal cruelty".
nicotine vaping and energy drinks <- the last two consumables i use i think i will quit porn first, then I will quit energy drinks. then nicotine, then I will be freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee alcohol was the hardest to quit by far
Reading career women only wanting someone "on their level" even in the face of loneliness/desparation is wild to me. Like they spent their life becoming a doctor and since women only date sideways and up their dating pool shrank to zero and they physically can't date someone who aren't as successful as them. Daily reminder personality/chemistry counts for nothing if u don't already have all the superficial shit locked in.
If you're passionate about it then you will do fine for yourself. Just don't expect to get a degree and be able to find work like nurses. That's not how it works. You need to want it. Also don't listen to random retards on what to do with your life or what will/won't work, including me. 😊
looksmaxxing update; -- LOOK AT MY NEW HAIR (no making fun of my scruffy hairs) https://preview.redd.it/k6eoebxk3x6f1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=369c9fd214711180fcaf7a258b9a57b9e2563248
I am consistently happy for the first time in my adult life. Not only that but everything is clickin and tickin - school, fitness, money (sort of), etc. The medication is working wonders.
what is your bf% if u can see your abs but it's covered in a layer of fat? I want to reduce my bf% so I can have hollow cheekbones again and so I don't have to eat as much.
Maybe use some of your free time to study investing so you are able to retain your massive wealth and make your money work for you. That's just what I'd do in your situation.
the meta right now into canada is to not work at all so that you get all tuition + living expenses covered, then live with your mom and invest the surplus into VFV/XEQT, then pay only the minimum amount each month since no interest accrues.
I had a mushroom trip yesterday. Now I'm convinced I need to be a vegan or at least only eat whole foods, also that the point of life is other people. It's such a difficult substance but it always ends up giving me insight.
I sit with my friend and just wait for him to say something. I can never start a conversation. Idk how I am going to survive in dating or in the professional world like this.
Everyone says my short hair looks bad but I have a horrible cowlick where if the hair gets long it comes down in a stupid wave that makes me look like a dork. I wish I could have hair like brad pitt on oprah.
Face reveal https://preview.redd.it/wjw5cctzdt0f1.jpeg?width=2208&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=36e5de650d470687b621658f4d79d7b65162e025 Tell me the honest truth. I can take it. u/OffTheRedSand
I simply can't find love. I don't want to subject myself to being a piece of meat until someone thinks I'm relationship material, especially because I'm almost asexual. I know none of you care. I only write about myself on here. I just feel so sad and desperate.
Why doesn't it? It worked for me and I can barely talk to people. I think u aren't giving yourself enough credit. If you are having good conversations with people you would be surprised how open people are to hanging out with you. Maybe it hasn't happened naturally but if you want lasting connection then you need to be vulnerable and ask people.
When you join a club the point is to see the same people over and over until you eventually bond over a shared interest. It's scary to ask people to hang out outside of the thing but it's just something you need to do.
sex just doesn't do it for me anymore. I can barely get aroused. Idk what is wrong with me. I'm gonna see a trans girl soon and I know she is gonna want sex. I wish we could just cuddle or something. Now I need to spend 80 dollars on dick pills.
It's kinda weird I'm 26 and have never been in a real relationship other than purely sexual. I like the idea of being in a relationship but men don't seem to care about that.
she is saying she wants me to fuck her but also to do a 3-way with her husband. I'm kinda nervous of the dynamic of fucking someone's wife in front of them.
How do I make work less miserable? We aren't allowed any breaks for a 8-11hr shift (paid under the table). I'm thinking of taking kratom every day while at work to see if that helps.
Finding someone who is compatible with you and also wants to date/cares about you is impossible. I love the person I am seeing now but they obviously don't care about me like that. It makes me sad.
I'd say don't go to college until you know exactly what to do and what you need from higher education. The opportunity cost + schooling fees of going to a four year program is insane. Do the math. You are better off working any random job and living with parents if you can and investing everything.
my fucking job keeps calling me in early and on my days off. It's all under the table so I know he's not going to give me overtime. I just want to sleep damn it.
I found someone that gives a perfect blowjob. Everyone else I've been with has been a 2-6 at best but he is literally 10/10. I've ghosted him the past 3 months but I'm going to start seeing him as much as I can again. He responded instantly when I sent him a text. I am excited.
Day four of working - I've only cried in the bathroom once so far. My boss gave me a pack of cigs. All I want from life is a skinny white boyfriend with skinny arms.
I don't think I will ever own a car or a house even if I end up financially successful. They seem like such burdens. Living out of a backpack is the correct way to live and if you disagree you are wrong.
I feel like the worst genre of book is any self-improvement book written past the year 2000. Like nicomachean ethics was aight but now I feel people are just turning 1 page essays into full books to get amazon money. Literally next to no golden tidbits to be found.
I don't really like reddit anymore but for some reason I'm still here. Normie reddit is just orange man bad, everything else is losers seeking validation for failing at life. I want to stop.
something you may not know about me: i am literally cracked at Melee. I can beat 95% of people. Yet still no girlfriend -; -- tell me how that makes sense?
I think that job interviews are just for them to screen for social awkwardness. If they pick up 1% then it's over even though you could do the job perfectly.
I know you're not into reading but you know people can read and go out simultaneously right? They are not mutually exclusive activities as you are convinced of on this subreddit.
It’s complete lack of success speaks for itself The book is pretty successful. Andrew Tate parroted talking points from him and took over the world. That has to speak to something. Overestimation of hypergamy 2. Cory Worthington as the “Alpha Buddha?” 3. Overly simplistic view of “Female Nature.” 4. Poor evidence and cognitive biases overdone to death. I actually agree with some of these to an extent, although these four bullet points with no explanation are hardly a comprehensive takedown lol. …
again you aren't actually addressing the points of his book just calling him a plagiarist or whatever. Idk about the dick lengthening surgery that sounds wack but I don't think that was in any of his books. I don't give a shit who assembled the book or in what manner I care about the book and its ideas. I hate people who think they're so smart and everyone else is so dumb that grifters take control of their feeble minds to sell them what they want to hear - any only YOU are smart enough to see t…
i mean this is literally just an ad-hominem attack if he did lie about something. I don't care what he did or didn't lie about. There is a reason his book resonates with so many people. Also what is that first link you showed? From what I remember he's pretty open with all of that. Again you're writing comments with sentences that don't make any sense. “Stop paying people you that don’t have any self-respect”
