Fine. Where's the pics? I cannot believe you'd get to 220lbs. With 6 - 8% bf, naturally, and not take a picture or 2.

It's clear you have no idea what you're talking about. I'd like to see a pic of you at 220 lbs at 6-8% bf. Even 190 lbs at 8% would impress me. Also, the idea that you can do it naturally in a year through "mental strength" is laughable. So yeah, pics or it didn't happen.

sure, but you can't stay at a caloric surplus for that length of time without getting fat. Skinny noobs can maybe get away with bulking for maybe a year or so? There's a reason people joke about fat guys being on a perma bulk.

If you're feeling sluggish I'd say to just stop eating so much. If you're forcing yourself to eat lots of food and it's making you lethargic then you're probably eating too much. Continue your lifting routine, maybe take a deload week if necessary, and run a slight caloric deficit for a couple of weeks at least then see how you feel.

If your training volume/frequency is high then a week off can really do wonders for recovery. The most important thing is to not overeat as so many do on holiday so you don't get fat.

By comfortable I mean it's not a job that stresses me out and I've got good benefits and job security. I'm also very ambitious in my work and there's every opportunity to succeed and be promoted if you put the work in, which is what I am currently doing. Compare it to creative industries where even if you work extremely hard there is no guarantee of success.

They unconsciously (or even consciously) don't count certain things This is true. I knew someone who argued passionately that it didn't constitute sez if only the tip went in. Fruthermore plenty of people only count their number of sexual partners as people they had full intercourse with, excluding oral etc. The scene from Clerks comes to mind.

You're doing too many reps on your big compound movements i.e. Bench, squat but especially deadlift. Increase the weight and do no more than 5 reps. Always try and increase the weight week by week. That's the main thing. Also personally I'd replace the lat pulldowns with pull-ups and completely cut out the upright rows.

Add some accessory exercises to each workout as I feel there's not too much volume in those workouts. Also give yourself a day (or 2, if you wish) where you do just arms because heavy compound movements will not stimulate much growth in your arms. And fix up your diet otherwise you won't be getting optimal results.

88kg at 11%? You must be very tall or very jacked if it's truly 11%. Anyway, I've been cutting for a couple months already and I'll be finishing up in the new year so I know I'll be at a lower bf% after Christmas, hopefully a truly single digit bf% which I have never achieved before. Then in the New Year I'll start bulking again and working on my weak points.

Are you really condemning pre-marital sex? I'd agree that having a high partner count (say over a dozen, for someone in their early 20s) is a red flag and I'd think twice before having a relationship with them. But condemning pre-marital is really contrary for a sub that is so anti-marriage and espouses sexual strategy.

I'd be happy just getting cat called and stared at. Men have to worry about actually being physically assaulted. It happens, often. Groups of men jumping a man on his own. Probably never hear about that happening to women. You are protected by your gender then have the nerve to say "men just don't understand how hard women have it". Get back to me when you're jumped by three men while you're on your own who decide to beat you for no reason.

Average diet, average body. Also this "organic, unique, protein rich food" thing is bullshit that you tell yourself so you don't have to stop eating donuts.

There's nothing "unique" or mysterious about it. It's good carbs and protein and a calorie surplus. That's it.

Well I've been doing that for nearly a year now, put on about 28 lbs. of mostly muscle, just started a cut. It's a little difficult at first but I wanted it really bad so motivation wasn't an issue for me. After a while it just becomes a lifestyle. You're certainly right about the booze. I quit drinking 4 months and had to up the amount of food I ate by quite a lot so I could keep gaining weight. Feel great though, I'm way fitter, wallet is a little heavier and thinking back on the awful hangove…

Started a cut a couple of weeks ago. When I was bulking I'd eat 3000-35000 calories a day. Now I eat between 1800-2200. Cut out a lot of the carbs (rice and pasta mostly) and still eat a lot of protein (chicken, tuna, eggs). My workouts have also changed a little - I do less isolation and focus on the core compound movements. It's working for me so far but it's been a little difficult adjusting from eating so much to eating so little. I may eat a little more and just do more cardio.

Funny story. I was out with a girl I knew from uni, it was her 21st. She was there with her new BF. Later in the evening, on the way to a club, the BF decided it was late so he chose not to go to the club. She was upset by this and broke up with him over text. She then got off with several people at the club that night and took one of them home. The BF, knowing nothing of this, apologised the next day and they got back together. They're engaged now. Just be wary OP. The girl I'm seeing right now…

Also found that women who were sexually abused as children were more likely to cheat. Also, I'm unsure if infidelity was properly defi…

There is some incorrect information in the domestic violence slide. Whilst women are more likely to use a weapon, 63% of those who required medical attention from their injuries due to domestic violence are women. That's from Archers meta-data analysis in 2000. He also seems to say that it's mainly women who are aggressors against men, which is untrue; it's usually found to be at about parity.

Don't think it's a big deal at all. You've been lifting for 18 months so immediately that's better than most people ever do. Might it be conceited to call yourself a mixed martial artist?

As someone with a degree in sociology, I think they could have made a better argument than this. Baby boys and girls colours have changed and men used to wear high heels. So, fashion changes over time? What a fucking surprise. Most secretaries and school teachers were men. Oh wait, you mean during the time that most women were not a part of the work force. But then once women did enter the work force what fields did they gravitate to? Child care? And that proves gender roles are bullshit how...?

So many soundbites about gendered violence and male on female violence and male on female sexual violence.

Being disabled does not depend upon whether it was your fault or not. If you drive drunk and crash and break your legs - yeah it was your fault, but that doesn't change the fact…

The problem with this argument is that women have differing preferences for what they find desirable. Men, on the other hand, tend to be very similar, with only minor differences in preference. That's just perception. In reality, men differ in their preferences just as much as women.

Me too, whenever there's a game that allows you to customize a character, I always give them a small and skinny frame. Even when you put them at the lowest settings, they can still look somewhat more buff than the average person. It's like, who would you rather play as in Resident Evil? Leon Kennedy or Chris Redfield? We all know who's cooler.

There are probably more good roles written for men. Military movies for example, of course there's not gonna be any lead female characters in a war movie, because it just wouldn't be historically accurate. Same for sports movies (though there are exceptions, Million Dollar Baby was superb). Probably makes it harder for female actors to secure oscar-worthy roles, but that is not the fault of the oscars themselves, or even the entire film-making industry.

I think the most interesting part is that the public perception is that women are more likely to suffer violence, when it is clear that men are the vast majority of the victims of violent crime.

I agree. There's no way in hell this is normal. The girls family should be checked out. If she's done it to multiple boys then that suggests it's not a one off incident, and she's learned it, probably from home. It could be innocent - maybe she walked in on her parents in the act, that happens. But it definitely needs investigating, because there also could be abuse going on. Also fuck that father who called his son a 'predator', when his son was a victim.

The number of physically abusive females would be far outweighed by the number of abusive males. There is substantial evidence to suggest that this is not the case.

Unless the guy wasn't interested in her from the beginning, I don't think that's true.

Nice post. Your second point reminds me of this quote "The death of one is a tragedy, the death of a million is a statistic". It's pretty true, we can relate to one person dying and can imagine how it affects their family and such. But when 100,000 people are killed? Human minds just can't really fathom that and it just becomes a number.

How exactly is dishonored sexist? Yeah there's not as many female characters as male, but it's actually pretty close. There's the empress, the princess, granny rags, Callista, Lady Boyle, Cecelia etc. Sure there's more male characters, but that's because they're mostly in the military or politicians, who are mostly men in the real world.

Some early feminists would've been against this attitude because it infantilizes women. This is the kind of feminism I can get behind. Like the early feminists who say it shouldn't be 'women and children' first because it assumes women need taken care of. I think this speaks to what a lot of what the MRM says, about women having the same agency as men. This kind of feminism seems to have died out though.

Not no coverage, but perhaps less extensive coverage. Personally I don't think you really need to have 24-hour round the clock coverage on a mass shooting, with interviews from the victims, police officers, breakdowns of the event etc. etc. It's an isolated event, whilst terrible, not really relevant to global politics. I think they sensationalize the coverage way too much. They always seem to lead to discussions on gun control, rather than mental health, which is understandable I guess but I th…
/r/MensRights16/12/12 11:31 PM

Well the idea behind not having sensationalized news coverage of the event is so that other people aren't inspired by his actions, and thus the motivation of fame will be eliminated, which might prevent further mass shootings.

To say he did it for attention is to over simplify it. Of course there were many factors involved. But I think one of them may have been that he wanted to have an impact on the world, to have people remember his name and know who he was. Maybe he was socially ostracized and felt ignored and frustrated, and just wanted to lash out and make a splash. No one really knows.

Ignoring it and not covering it in the media so much are two different things. The amount of media coverage these shootings get, to a disturbed individual they might think they'll become some sort of anti-hero if they do the same. I might be wrong but it seems like the frequency of these mass shootings has just increased so much over the last decade or so, and I think it's partly because other disturbed individuals see the fame of others who carry out mass shootings, and are inspired by it.

What he actually said was pretty retarded. I think what he was trying to say is that if someone is being sexually assaulted, then they will resist.

This is so spot on. There is something very very wrong with someones mindset if they think that being drunk means they no longer hold any responsibility for yourself and are unable to consent to sexual contact. I've witnessed feminists, after begrudgingly admitting that it is possible for a woman to rape a man, say that if two drunk people have sex then they technically raped each other. I don't know how anyone can write that and not think "wait a minute, what the fuck am I saying?".

I wish I could give you some advice but it sounds like you already know what you're doing, with issues like the birth certificate, kidnapping etc. Maybe if there is a way to prove that she is an unfit mother, then try to expose it (if we lived in a sane world then the kidnapping would already prove that, but alas..).

The use of words like "conspiracy" and "brain washing" show that you have the wrong frame of mind.

I agree that individuals can make the choice to not work if they have a partner that is willing to support them. But Hitchens just made a blanket statement that all women do not have to work. And therefore men do have to work to support the women that don't feel like it. Also Hitchens says he doesn't want to see women "coarsened by the labour market", implying that men are perfectly fine to be subjected to it. So he is implicitly valuing women more than men.

I would say that broadening the definition for misogyny would just be laughable, and would be applicable when a woman is criticised for anything.

Ok so if she wasn't sure if she consented or not. Then why is she so sure she was raped?
/r/MensRights01/10/12 08:37 PM

Personally, I think she made it clear that she consented when drunk but now believes that she has been a victim of rape because she believes that she cannot consent when drunk. This is the kind of bullshit we're supposed to be fighting against. Just because she feels like it was rape does not make it rape.
/r/MensRights01/10/12 08:09 PM

Then why are we telling her to go to the police? Because although she supposedly doesn't know it's rape, that's what she's calling it. Hey, lots of people don't go out looking for sex, but you lose your inhibitions when you're drinking and you change your mind, the fact that she may have said no if she was sober is irrelevant and is a bogus strategy to try and make it look like rape, and to take no responsibility for yourself when you're drunk.

So you're saying that she can't remember whether she consented or not? Then how does she know it's rape? If she truly can't remember, them how does she know she was raped, rather than having consensual sex?

She did give consent, she was drunk when she did so, and therefore to her it is somehow rape. Seriously, read all her comments. She said she got too drunk, "legally" couldn't give consent, and that she was not in her right mind, and that she wouldn't have done it if she were sober. She said the other guy was drinking as well. She obviously regrets having drunken sex and thinks she has been victimised in some way. I am seriously ashamed of you guys - we talk about personal responsibility, women h…

Nonsense. If she tried to fight him off she would have remembered. She said she was sure they had sex, and she remembers how many drinks she had, amongst other things. How would she not remember that? Obviously she knows that it was consensual, otherwise she wouldn't have said 'legally' I could not consent.

It's that kind of loose language that makes her story more plausible. People read "blacked out" and think she was unconscious. No, she said herself, she was just drunk. Edit: Also, I don't know if I could possibly be so drunk that I would have sex with a gay guy, but if I was, then in the morning I would take responbility for my own actions, and not try to ruin someones life over what would be my mistake.

legally I was incapable of consenting. So no. How does this not say to you that the sex was consensual? She wouldn't explicity say that it was consensual because she doesn't believe she can give consent when she's drunk. And people were buying her drinks. So what? That just means she drank too much. Even she doesn't think she was drugged.

We all make different decisions when we're drunk. Maybe you'll learn from your 'mistake' and not drink so much next time. You said he was drinking as well, so did you rape him if you were both drunk? Sounds like two people had drunk consensual sex, you've come to regret it in the morning. A poor decision perhaps. But now you want to claim you were raped and possibly ruin a persons life? Shame on you. You are not a victim of rape.

I hear lots of people say this. It's usually in the form of saying, women have better interpersonal skills, or some vague intangible skill that men somehow can't possess.

I absolutely agree with your first point about vibrators/fleshlights (just search for 'fleshlight rage', one of my first posts).

This is just my opinion, but I get the feeling that women are allowed to more freely express their sexuality than men. If a guy appears to be exprssing sexual interest in someone, then it's very likely that he could be labelled a creep or a pervert.

Sure, you have to be lucid enough to engage in it, and if you're too drunk to object, then I'd say that is rape. However some people seem to think that any degree of intoxication means that you are unable to consent, and therefore the following day if you decide to call it rape, then the law says that its rape.
