Men, what is the most important word of advice you could go back in time and tell yourself?

shit-zen-giggles · 2024-02-05T05:32:57+00:00

financial literacy would be a big one

SaltSpecialistSalt · 2024-02-05T10:19:06+00:00

dont date single moms

vector5633 · 2024-02-05T14:25:59+00:00

Well, if I didn't have my two beautiful kids. I would say, DON'T FUCKING GET MARRIED!!!! Divorced now and rebuilding my life again.

gabriel-kornilov · 2024-02-05T08:35:31+00:00

Care about yourself first. Keep your mouth shut and both your ears and eyes wide open. The world is not your friend. Learn stoicism early in life. Harden your body and your soul. Trust (a little)...but verify...always. Don't be "nice". Nobody cares about you except when it comes the moment to judge you and/or put you down. Focus on your goal, and your goals only, while being as greyish as possible. Then do not take any prisoners.

NeoNotNeo · 2024-02-05T18:34:14+00:00

Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet’s right hand man, was quoted as saying, avoid crazy at all cost. This isn’t a specific gender thing as Ive know many women who ended up “crazy” at their peril.

It works on all aspects of your life. Don’t take any long shot risks ever. Don’t hope things will magically work out

As relates to gender, don’t let anyone convince you your emotional state is somehow less valuable.

Character_Map_6683 · 2024-02-05T14:26:35+00:00

Single mothers are trash. Invest in the stock market as soon as you get a job in highschool, you can be a millionaire by 40 just from compounding. Find a high school sweetheart, college chicks are gross. Pursue money first then your passion.

rhoo31313 · 2024-02-05T18:09:09+00:00

If a woman wants to cheat she's gonna cheat. Not a f*ckin' thing you can do about it. Also, learn to set boundaries and say no.

duhhhh · 2024-02-05T10:19:47+00:00

Never get married. Focus on building and maintaining friendships. If you want kids, earn enough money for a high end surrogate and a high end nanny.

-Acta-Non-Verba- · 2024-02-05T17:11:36+00:00

Don't orbit girls while being in the Friendzone.

If they tell you they're not into you, believe them and spend your efforts somewhere else. She's not one in a million, she's one of a million. Don't put them in a pedestal. They are human, and flawed, just like you.

You'll both have more respect for you for doing that.

Seemingly small choices, accumulating, overtime, make huge differences. So start early with working out, dieting, flossing, investing, making good choices, etc.

No one will do it for you. No one is going to drop a great life or a great career or a great job on your lap. Go out there and earn it. It will take a lot of effort. You have to be the one to do the effort. Be mercenary about it.

Focus on qualifying yourself to earn as much as possible. School is important. Get good grades. Majors are important. Choose one that pays well, preferably in STEM.

Acrobatic_Sport_7664 · 2024-02-05T11:19:23+00:00

No body else knows what they're doing either, and what they think of you is none of your damned business.

Scarce12 · 2024-02-05T18:57:44+00:00

Take the red pill. I've got no better way of saying it.

Gain awareness of how you can be manipulated in society, the two facedness of feminism, how it's impacting dating, sex, education and institutions, how all the complaints about men are just their own projections, that not all relationship problems are men's fault, that certain faculties in college give women better grades and let guys drop out, that the female HR manager at work thinks it's okay to coerce unpaid overtime because the shop floor are just lowerclass men to her. That society belittles guys for working on themselves but waits at the finish line and takes the praise....etc, there are a lot of things.

I'm not advocating "red pill rage", see Youtuber Pshychacks for more information.

cyb3rfunk · 2024-02-05T17:21:23+00:00

Learn to cook by making your own meals - doesn't have to be fancy. Force yourself to go to a few social events per month.

Midwit_Concentrator · 2024-02-05T17:47:39+00:00

Don't get too involved with women. Focus on yourself.

My dad told me this when I was like 9-10 and for some reason I deeply remembered it.

Sad-Persimmon-5484 · 2024-02-05T14:27:56+00:00

Memento mori

ThrowawayGhostGuy1 · 2024-02-05T14:35:53+00:00

Lift weights. Invest in specific stocks. Those women you like are just going to traumatize you. Fuck them.

HelloFuckYou1 · 2024-02-05T19:57:58+00:00

never believe a woman... unless she proves with actions

Kin3matic · 2024-02-05T17:17:37+00:00

You can lose a lot of money chasing women, you'll never lose women chasing money

OldEgalitarianMRA · 2024-02-05T23:02:10+00:00

Give up on the idea of having children. It was the worse decision of my life. He's alienated, I lost my job, my savings and had a nervous breakdown. And I had 50/50. It's never ending torture.

My friends who never had children are very happy.

Qantourisc · 2024-02-05T11:59:42+00:00

For me it's Not MRA related: get therapy, your parent's suck (when it comes to emotional value)

hendrixski · 2024-02-05T12:59:01+00:00

Prenups!!!

ganesh_WL · 2024-02-05T14:34:36+00:00

Stop eating like a pig and do some workout

ButWhatOfGlen · 2024-02-05T15:21:26+00:00

Follow your dream and become really good at something you love to do.

Chama-HUH · 2024-02-05T18:06:39+00:00

Join a combat sports gym as soon as possible, read up on the market and all that money you got from working a part time job invest it. Focus more in school and develop proper studying habits, go outside more and forget about video games. Stay creative, don’t worry so much about having friends. Stop being so nice. Read more non-fictional books jackass, especially things about fitness you’ll love them.

Flooble_Crank · 2024-02-05T19:13:08+00:00

Wait for the right woman. She has to click emotionally and physically. Don’t settle; the moment you do someone who is a great match comes along while you’re taken.

Also don’t start raising a child with someone you know you won’t be with long-term. It is agony to leave after the bond forms, and you will leave, the pain of staying becomes unbearable. Overall shitty situation.

Also, don’t be afraid to pursue that one special person. I wish I wouldn’t have stopped until I got a clear “no.” Attractive women will not pursue people they click with, they’re often too overwhelmed being pursued by others, so it has to be all you.

2024-02-05T20:24:06+00:00

It’s just about you, no one else. Don’t spend any time people pleasing, unless it’s your loved ones. Devote your life to pleasing them. If they show you less than loyalty cut them loose. You are free you are you and the only bonds in this world are the ones you make for yourself.

Woke_Wacker · 2024-02-05T15:26:17+00:00

Respect yourself and others but give as good as you get. Don't be nice, and don't strive to be a 'nice guy'. Get yourself into further education and get as high paying job as you can or become self-employed. Don't stay as you are. Learn and grow as a person as much as you can. Don't trust a beautiful woman, especially if she's interested in you. Don't have a kid. Don't kid yourself on morality. You're a hedonist, and you know it, so live like one, and don't deny your true nature.

imperator285 · 2024-02-05T17:01:42+00:00

Kissing ass is the true key to success sadly

Scary-Error4119 · 2024-02-05T16:35:14+00:00

Also women speak before they think ..and get lost mixed up in their talking...and most men take their word as always right truthful...

Scary-Error4119 · 2024-02-05T16:33:59+00:00

Don't trust women.women can do wrong and are not always right.women have more options and people willing to give them anything every thing they want all they need to do is open their manipulative mouth and creat an emotional argument.

Scary-Error4119 · 2024-02-05T16:36:16+00:00

I would question women alot more detailed like a news report er and psychologist like Dr phill

2024-02-05T20:26:11+00:00

Don’t make money. Since the “Patriarchy” has been overthrown, there is no dollar amount that will bring you the happiness you seek. Since the world is flipped upside down you should too. Domestic duties are nothing compared to the slavery of the 40 hour workweek!

sgt_oddball_17 · 2024-02-05T20:33:45+00:00

Do what my dad's friend recommended and get a second job, eat only rice and peanut butter and put every remaining cent into an Index fund.

Alarming_Draw · 2024-02-05T21:23:38+00:00

"You were right, dont believe the lies your feminist mother and sisters keep telling you about men being "bad"".

Mundane-Experience50 · 2024-02-05T21:58:25+00:00

Put yourself first, ask for what you want, and have boundaries. If she finds any of these things offensive, move on to a woman who will accept you.

Backhoz · 2024-02-05T22:43:49+00:00

Buy Bitcoins

patheticlosermail · 2024-02-05T22:54:45+00:00

Women arent worth it

Manic_mogwai · 2024-02-06T03:49:37+00:00

Keep your bitcoins, someday you’ll be able to buy more than a single pizza.

mrkpxx · 2024-02-06T06:27:21+00:00

Women are not wonderful, they are opportunistic. (Hypergamy is the engine of capitalism)

mpusar · 2024-02-06T11:15:33+00:00

Exercise daily and don’t eat like shit all the time. Once your body gains a fat cell it never goes away. You can only empty it. Even if you are skinny it’s there, waiting for you to be weak.

alter_furz · 2024-02-07T23:36:53+00:00

- start saving up

- never ever waste resources trying to get pussу

- don't give second chances to women

- don't eat cheap diet consisting of grains and other carbs only.

- excercise

- don't drink alcohol in a regular manner

- sleep well

Digger_is_taken · 2024-02-09T16:34:37+00:00

Stay in school.
