then he probably would make a poor captain As a man, I agree with this. It's possible this guy is in a stage of red-pill awareness where he needs to flaunt that he was able to get multiple women at once, and needs to boast by sharing that fact with the women. It would be another story if he's dating multiple women, not making a big deal about it, and slowly learning about them to see if either is co-captain material. Instead of telling one woman about what the other woman does, it's better to le…

I agree with this sentiment. I keep my place organized and clean by most standards, but I still like to have a house cleaner come by once a month because they catch those areas that tend to get ignored by me. I love seeing the end of the toilet paper roll folded into a triangle.

Learn how to ask open-ended questions to see if they truly want a relationship. For instance, if you ask "do you want a relationship?" they can simply lie and say "yes". If, however, you follow it up with "what do you want out of a relationship?" they will have to provide a more detailed answer that will be harder to hide their true intentions. Ask enough of these questions, and you can get a good sense of what a person wants.

Man here: Here's the definition of submission that will be important for my views: the action or fact of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person. The word I want to point out is accepting. You can willingly be submissive in certain circumstances but not be a passive person overall. For instance, I run a business and have multiple employees who have to follow my direction, otherwise they won't work for me. In this regard, I'm the "top dog". However,…

I suggest a book called Non-Violent Communication. It teaches you how to better understand your needs and how to clearly make requests of others. In addition, it's helpful to ask people as many open-ended questions as possible.

I was once listening to a radio show where they talked about divorce rates.

In the meantime, I suggest a book called Non-Violent Communication. It's mostly geared towards better communicating with others, but the things they discuss provide insight for helping you figure out more about yourself. Mainly, one of the steps of communicating is to understand your needs so you can more clearly make requests of others.

Humans have integrated fasting for various health reasons for most of history; it's mostly our current society that believes you need to eat every single day. Giving your body some time to rest once in a while has shown to boost the immune system, improve metabolic processes, and regenerate damaged cells. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/water-fasting#what-it-is

Have you fasted before? 5 days can be a lot to jump into, but overall I say go for it. My first fast ever was a 4 day, but I was already eating a keto-type diet, which makes it easier for the body to shift into a fasted state. The first three days will be the toughest, and you'll find yourself wanting to eat out of habit, so make sure you have some activities lined up to keep yourself occupied.

I mostly stopped using it about 9 months ago because I realized it interfered with my sleep, and I didn't get fully restorative rest. After I stopped using it I was sleeping for 9-10 hours a night for the first month, due to REM rebound where it tries to catch up on what it had missed. Because of that I was recovering quicker from working out and felt less brain fog. However, I still use it every other month or so when the mood strikes. Sometimes I need a day to fully unwind and not focus on sel…

I treat games as that, a treat. If I haven't lifted, eaten well, put in a solid day at the office, worked to improve myself, etc then I won't play games because I haven't earned it. Video games are a form of art and good art can provide new perspectives in the world, but like with any other form of art, we can spend too much time viewing it and not interacting with reality.

The biggest areas of contention when you have housemates are the kitchen and bathroom. Set clear expectations on what everyone's level of cleanliness is, and what times you'll generally be using the space so that you aren't all trying to use it at the same time and getting in each others' way. Next level is reading a book called Nonviolent Communication. It teaches you how to clearly state your needs and requests and to better understand what others are asking of you.

It's ok to get angry. You are a human with emotions and it's healthy to express them. I like to take it out on the heavy bag at the gym, and then take time to meditate on why I felt that emotion. After that I can make a clear-headed decision if something needs to be done.

Don't follow what's in, follow your passion and/or skills. If you take up something that you're not interested in just because it's "in" and can make you money now, you will absolutely despise it down the road if it's ever "out". Instead, if you cultivate your abilities, you can figure out a way to make it "in" at all times.

That's a possibility, but you need to put yourself first. When I first started my business, I didn't take lunches because I felt like I had so much to do and couldn't lose any billable hours.

My gym closed on Tuesday so now I'm finally forced to find new ways of working out. While it may take a while to develop exercises where I feel as fulfilled, I think I'll be better for it in the long run because I'll have a deeper understanding of how my body works.

It can be helpful if you're already: 1) Staying away from stimulants 2) Eating a healthy diet 3) Getting in your cardio at the gym 5-6 times per week (training at least to the point of a runners high) 4) Meditating 5) Sleeping well Then yes, it may help to compound the effects of the work you're putting in.

You may have ab definition around 15%, and I believe that's a realistic goal. Any percentages below that are increasingly harder to achieve while maintaining muscle mass. While these guys are in the elite status of physique, this video does a great job of showing how there's not a perfect correlation between body fat percentage and muscle definition. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mrllUxAr1_g

I start my day whenever I wake up. I don't use an alarm, and I generally get up by 7, but I view sleep as the most important thing and will let myself sleep in if necessary. Once I'm awake: 90-120 minutes for waking up. I drink tea, listen to a podcast, prepare my meals for the day, mediate for 15 minutes, and set my daily intentions. Next I'm off to the gym where I plan for 90 minutes of activity, including a yoga-like stretching routine at the end. I make a point to be at the gym M-F, and try …

You need to make time for it and exercise that side of yourself. I work as an accountant, and after the last few years of running a business, my creative brain wasn't getting much use. Earlier this year, I started setting aside time on Sunday mornings to work on creative projects like writing. Some weekends I may not have as much to work on, but I still make the time. After a few months, I could feel that side of me pouring out even during other times. Look to improv as a way to loosen up a bit.

There isn't a correct way to meditate. I do two types of meditation - one in the morning where I try to clear my thoughts , and another at night where I envision what I want out of life.

Fellow IN(T/F)P here: I say try it if you think it will help with your anxiety. Have you also looked into improv? They say that in combination with therapy is effective. Or if improv is slightly too much for you to handle at first, try joining a D&D campaign. The improvisational aspect of it helps you get out of your left-brain thinking and act better on your feet. After that try looking into something like Toastmasters if you really want to push your limits.

Look into 16/8 intermittent fasting - eating all your calories in an 8 hour window and then 16 hours of fasting. For some people like myself, it's like having daily bulk and cut cycles.

Fasting. I intermittent fast, and will do a longer 3-5 day fast twice a year.

Growth hormone seems to spike as well, and the idea is to time your workouts to get the most out of it.

Clean eating will mean something different for everyone, but yes, it can matter. Eating healthy will mean benefits like better sleep, less inflammation in your body, etc, which will help with your muscle growth and repair. For instance, I see people taught peanut butter, but too much Omega 6 fats in relation to Omega 3 could cause inflammation, and inflammation leads to a bevy of problems in the long run.
