Amen. You should still exercise once in a while. But do it for yourself. No one else.

nigelh · 2017-01-15T18:44:08+00:00

You're MGTOW. You can do some gaming and enough gym to stay good. The real time drag would be the females.

Raiden627 · 2017-01-15T18:48:39+00:00

You shouldn't have to give up something you enjoy just to exercise. Plus, you could get pretty jacked at the gym and a whore is still going to go for a guy who's bigger then you maybe has a bigger dick or more money. Who gives a shit what a whore wants?

Bodyweight training!

i work out for my own sake. i used to do martial arts for years, TKD, Capoeira, was very fun. Now I just work kettlebells at home and do stuff like mountain climbing in Colorado or long bike rides, no martial arts clubs nearby that I'd be interested in paying for. I'm on the solo path for training. i also play vidya games.

do what you enjoy man, people gravitate towards authenticity, and if they don't, so what, you do what you enjoy anyway.

DO HIT THE GYM. And do it seriously. You'll thank me later. Do it for your own best interests, as a man. It really does wonders for your body and mind.

Stick to 3-4 workouts a week, ideally not longer than 2 hours each. You'll still have time for plenty of gaming. I'd advice against any MMORPG types of games (or any other focused havily on character "development") though - they are waste of time.

justareflektorr · 2017-01-15T18:37:50+00:00

Think about all the effort you are gonna put in just for some 15 minutes of fun? Is it worth it? Oh, and dont forget youllbe soulcrushing rejected couple-o-times in the process, but hey whats not to like.

Ximkai · 2017-01-16T02:21:39+00:00

Work out for you. No one (except women) expect you to be ripped. Meanwhile, play all the video games, build all the model cars you want, play any fucking DnD you want, and FUCK everyone who wants to give you shit for it.

Bet if you ask anyone who's giving you crap, what they do for fun, you'll probably only get "shopping, watching football, and breeding" as a response.

gravelheart · 2017-01-15T19:29:14+00:00

Video games, exercise and dating are all unrelated.

You're not making any sense.

DeeReem101 · 2017-01-15T20:30:29+00:00

You should still do it for yourself. If you feel video games are interfering with your day to day life more than you want them to, then maybe you should quit them for yourself. You don't need a woman to govern the changes you need to make that will bring out the best version of you.

Same thing applies with the gym

BukM1 · 2017-01-15T20:54:59+00:00

believe it or not i used to have a GF who actually enjoyed just watching me play, couldn't complain.

The__Tren__Train · 2017-01-15T22:28:39+00:00

yeah. stay inside and play your little video games..

you pasty fat greasy fuck

Dogonapillow · 2017-01-15T19:19:26+00:00

" good " ?

ustael · 2017-01-16T03:38:11+00:00

I am trying hard to get back into working out. But thats not stopping me from gaming. I workout for an hour and a half 3 or 4 times a week and walk my dog nightly. But I still get my game time in. Maybe a little less, but I enjoy the hobby to much to quit. It's always better than a mediocre date.

Helikzhan · 2017-01-16T07:40:47+00:00

The secret to happiness is quite simple. Diversify your interests.

I say that because anyone who bottles all of their interests into one or two things runs the risk of failing to love those things any longer. Lots of people become suicidal because they never allowed themselves to love more than a few things. So when those things no longer pan out or stop giving quality feelings back they have nothing.

So don't spend all day playing video games. Yes, they're awesome but so is spending time with friends / family, going to the movies, eating at diners, playing sports, etc.

Never let the creep of depression fool you into thinking you need love (or the love of a woman). It's not about that.

odion1500 · 2017-01-16T07:44:07+00:00

everything in moderation is ok, water is good for you but if you drink too much it can kill you.

if you want to live longer you need to stay healthy.

UtopianKing · 2017-01-16T10:53:55+00:00

I go to the gym so I can live undisturbed by BP simps trying to impress a woman.

cashmoney_x · 2017-01-16T13:37:12+00:00

Please god still exercise but do it for you.

Dank_Meems · 2017-01-16T15:12:38+00:00

TRP is such a double edged sword in my mind.

They have good logic and values for the most part, but the overly-alpha-douchey mindset is so fucking annoying.

A lot of the posts are so counter productive it's not even funny. They spend their entire time bitching and complaining about women, yet spend all their free time hitting the gym and bettering themselves (physically) so they can fuck more women.... It makes sense if you don't think about it.

camenossaber · 2017-01-17T00:20:52+00:00

Dude do it for yourself.

metalhead4 · 2017-01-15T18:10:39+00:00

Entitled cunts?

I'm a man but that is a pretty fucking bold statement to say about all women. You're an entitled cunt...
