I always ate out alone often, never knew people hated doing that lol

Same my favorite thing to do is eat at a restaurant alone
[–]ChampionOfAI 22 points23 points24 points 5 years ago (6 children) | Copy Link
This. I always liked enjoying my occasional burger and shake alone earlier. Still like to do it, but cutting down on fat to decrease weight. Still it is enjoying thing to eat alone without anyone bothering you.
[–]ziggmuff 22 points23 points24 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Actually, you shouldn't cut out fat to lose weight, you should cut out sugar and carbs. Not saying you can still drink milkshakes, lol, but I've lost 30 pounds in 5 weeks just changing my diet and riding my bike. Just a nickels worth of free advice.
[–]ChampionOfAI 11 points12 points13 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Thanks for this tip. Will ttry to incorporate this in my diet.

Man these lot have helped me so many times. Helped me find a name for a company and it was a good god damn name.

I was about to reply exactly this. Fats are our friends (not margarine of vegetable oils, but things like butter and lard). I lost the insane mark of 100 pounds in 2020 by cutting simple carbs and sugar, and fasting. I'm lean now with little to no effort.

Even my uni friends say how does the food descends your throat i laugh at them. While also my family got a bit upset on it still the shock was too much for them that i eat alone.

Travelling abroad by yourself and experiencing freedom feels so good. I recommend it to anyone who haven't tried it.
[–]jd46249 27 points28 points29 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I second this. I’ve went abroad alone once, at first I was a bit nervous. Afterwards it was probably the best vacation I had. Did everything I wanted and ate everything I craved.
[–]kriskros18 16 points17 points18 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
This. Travelled to 20+ countries alone. They try their best to shame, I just smile back, thinking of all the things I accomplished on my terms.
[–]Cultistofthewheel 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Traveling alone is the best way to travel. There is no other way that’s better for really experiencing somewhere else.
Next best is a bros vacation. Usually that’s best for your 20s to get shitty and roll like a steamroller through another culture.
[–]malte-gustav_towski 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
this.
when i accidentialy travelled alone for the 1st time (travelbuddy had to cancel the trip) it was a true revelation. addicted ever since to it and wished i would have found out earlier.
[–]Unforsaken_Dick 0 points1 point2 points 5 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Do you plan your trips? Like, everything your going to do for the day/week? Or do you kinda just choose a place and Yolo lol. The thought of traveling to a far away country feels a bit nerve-racking. Especially if their is a language barrier.
[–]Dorinus2 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Sometimes i plan, sometimes i yolo.
I do reccomend that you plan your vacation tough.
[–]kriskros18 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I find the language barrier challenging and exciting(esp LATAM and SEA countries). Hence the planning is more meticulous. Still things don’t go as planned. Lol. So be open to it.
3 pointers - 1. Never compromise on your safety - do your homework(learn basic language phrases, cultural taboos etc.) and use common sense (dont walk alone drunk late at night, flashing your $$ etc). 2. Be friendly and open minded. People are friendly in general, despite what the media tells you.
Also stay in hostels, when you can - it’s cheaper, more fun and you meet new people, who can suggest more cool stuff.
Safe travels brothers!

I love the message, it reminds me of all the times I've went and did something alone and got shamed for it. I've had people say "You came out alone, that's weird and kinda sad." Even though it was something I intentionally chose to do. Some people will never get it. Now that I'm a little older people still occasionally invite me to functions and sometimes I'll go but most of the time I'd rather not and of course I get shamed for that too but idgaf anymore. If someone wants to give me shit about not going to their BBQ that I never said I'd attend in the first place I just won't have them in my life anymore and it doesn't bother me the slightest.
[–]Funny_Wolverine_9 16 points17 points18 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
My best memories and experiences I've had were when I did things alone. It made me look at situations differently and forced me into new experiences and as a result, grew me and broadened my mindset.
[–]smfuel87 7 points8 points9 points 5 years ago* (0 children) | Copy Link
I don't mind doing things alone but I really do hate it when I go do something cool and can't take my kids along. I recently took my kids to see a grove of Giant Sequoias. We went and saw the General Sherman Tree which is the largest tree and the largest living organism on earth. Watching my two kids reaction to seeing a tree that big for the first time was an experience that I will never forget. Having done it alone would have been meaningless. I still remember my dad taking me and my brother to see those trees for the first time and I'm happy I got to do the same thing despite not having the time with my kids that I would really like. I'm planning a trip to the White Mountains in California to see a grove of Bristlecone Pines, some of which are over 4,000 years old and still alive. Think about watching that thought entering a 14 and a 10 year old's mind. Touching a living tree that is 2,000 years older than Christ.
The only people ever worth doing things with are your children if you have any and your parents. It is quite literally the only reason and meaning in why I am on this earth right now. There is little purpose in life for me outside of that.
I wouldn't advise against going to do things with good friends, but it's a distant second IMO. As for doing things with a female romantic partner, eh I wouldn't really recommend putting forth much effort doing meaningful excursions with them. I know there are girls out there that can understand or appreciate the gravity behind certain outings to places of any historical or natural significance, but I just haven't personally met them. Every time I've tried to take a girl out to a beautiful place or a natural setting, they just bury their nose in their phone the whole time and/or complain about having to be there. I've just never aligned with any girl on personal interests and every time I go anywhere with them, I end up feeling more alone while there than if I had gone alone.

I do all of the above and I'm happy with my life. My friends and family are acting like the miserable ones saying I need to get a wife and or have kids already. I tell them screw that.

My favorite thing about Leo is that his cap is like, 24, before he trades up to the newer model.

Even when I was young, I preferred being alone. However I thought I was weird for this.
And then when I got redpilled and went MGTOW, I realized that I wasn't weird at all. I would rather be by myself than be surrounded by idiots.
[–]sehns 2 points3 points4 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
The first time you go eat at a restaurant alones the hardest. But after a few times you realize nobody gives a fuck and it gets easier and eventually you don't even think about it.
It's awesome.
I'd say the only time i don't do it is at a destination/couples restaurant with candle-lit mood lighting with no bar to sit at. That would still feel a bit awkward for me. But majority of restaurants are fine
[–]25toten 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Most my life I feared going out alone (namely bars). I forced myself to start doing it 4 years ago. Best decision I ever made. Without company, you end up meeting a plethora of people since you're under no obligation to entertain or interact with one paticular person(s).
It got to the point where only after a few months, I started enjoying going out alone more than going with friends.
10/10
[–]thisismymgtowaccount 1 point2 points3 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Absolutely agree with this. I have an RV that I take out, by myself, several times a year and it is bliss. There's no nagging wife, no whiny kids, no needy girlfriend who needs me to take a million photos of her for her Instagram page. Seeing the world through your own eyes, without distractions is incredibly peaceful.

🎶When you walk through a storm Hold your headup high And don't be afraid of the dark At the end of a storm There's a golden sky And the sweet silver song of a lark Walk on through the wind Walk on through the rain Though your dreams be tossed and blown Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you'll never walk alone You'll never walk alone!🎶
Liverpool got something right.

Your own company is far better than that of a woman’s, because they will spend all their time complaining or talking about themselves. This is the philosophy I’ve subscribed to for a decade now and I couldn’t be happier.

I agree %100 but it’s hard to do anything alone when you have no fucking means to.

Been doing it all alone for 18 yrs and loving it!
I learned all these lessons in my early 20s after both daughters were born and never looked back once I hit 24
i nailed a few dumb bar tramps and had my share of escorts but even that stuff isn’t valued to me anymore and it’s got nothing to do with not being interested in sex or not having a sex drive ..
i just don’t care anymore about vaginas

This is really bad messaging. Life isn’t supposed to be lived alone. Even if you decide to swear off women, which probably isn’t a good idea, at least try to get guy friends
[–]segregatethesexes 8 points9 points10 points 5 years ago* (6 children) | Copy Link
Fine for the extraverted majority but many people are naturally introverted and find the company of others to be draining.
That human beings are social animals is a cliche and is only true at the level of the species and not the individual.
[–]sabanMiles11 -4 points-3 points-2 points 5 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
True, but lack of social success is entirely different than wanting to be alone. Even if you’re an introvert, you don’t want to be alone. The worst criminals get the following punishment: social isolation
[–]Whole-Addition-9370 9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
"social success" is another construct that you use to increase your self esteem, by use of external validation.
Validation should come from your own self, not others. If you constantly rely on the presence of others to make you feel ok and "socially successful" then you are in fact the individual less equipped for happiness and survival. Self sufficiency in all areas is key. And I am so tired of hearing the NPC-on-repeat phrase/sentiment "humans are social animals" ... No, we are we are tribal. And just because modern (social) media and film has made us hyper dependent on positive perception of self by external viewers, is it NOT the way to feel truly content and free. This leads to "dancing monkey" putting on a show so that others may accept us and like us
[–]cowardlyoldearth 9 points10 points11 points 5 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
There's a reason so many people are reluctant to go back to real life after last year: solitude is a beautiful thing.

If i had the money to buy a plot of land away from everyone and everything and be self sustainable I'd do it in a heartbeat and never come back just me a few dogs and peace and quiet is all I need

" The worst criminals get the following punishment: social isolation"
Yes most people are extraverts so isolation would be as unpleasant to them as unwanted socializing is for introverts.
At a guess I'd say extraversion is even more common in convicts than in the general population. Judging by the people I've met who've been through that system.
