I used to lurk on this sub several years ago when I was a miserable cretan like most of you, back before this sub was quarantined by the super woke reddit staff. When the people who commented were actual users seeking advice, not the same ten people making new accounts and living vicariously through their completely fabricated posts. Getting off to how many likes they get from their expertly crafted "advice".

I know the average age range of people reading this post will be 15-25. I know the average income of people reading this post will be less than $75k a year. I know a large fraction will still be living in their mother's basement, spending half of their minimum wage on a gym membership so they can get "swole" and spin plates for a living.

Let me give you all some wisdom:

- Life needs to be viewed as an investment. An investment of energy, money and most importantly, time. It runs out quick and at a certain point it works against you; it works against you hard. Like any other investment, it requires effort and strategy. It requires a plan. According to this sub, the best plan is to waste the majority of it on hitting the gym, plowing as many chicks a week as humanely possible and getting rich. None of these things are mutually exclusive. Actually, all of these things actually work against each other for the most part. Very rarely does this sub mention the investments you should be making to become a successful man and build a lasting legacy. Things like an education; and no, not some worthless university indoctrination, but actual self-education. Insights and wisdom that give you an edge in society because you get things other people don't understand. History, human nature, philosophy, psychology, biology, language. These are the things that actually make you a more effective man, a more effective human being when all is said and done.

That doesn't mean don't stay in shape, don't stay healthy, don't mess around and have fun with women. It means that your priority should be improving yourself so that you can improve others, including the women you interact with. As man you have a responsibility to improve and inspire others. If you do not do this you will be miserable. So you can bench 300, have slept with 500 women and are worth a million. Who gives a fuck? Nobody, except maybe all the leeches that will be trying to suck you dry and betray you for your "success".

So go read a book. Go for a run. Meditate. Try to focus and invest in one quality woman. Stay out of debt and detach yourself from society, because let me tell you, society will always win and nobody reading this will be the next Genghis Khan or Machiavelli. Never attach your identity to things or ideas. Be yourself and you will attract the things you desire if you invest intelligently.

- Every year you wait before getting married is another year your future wife is getting pounded out by another dude. Spending the majority of your time swiping on tinder, hiring hookers, going on three dates a week and trying to please several women is a waste of fucking time. It's novelty...and trying to prove something to yourself that makes you feel more "masculine", when in reality it's a lose-lose situation and the only people benefiting are your competitors.

One issue a lot of angsty, pre-workout hoarding GNC card holders that call themselves "alpha" have is that they are trying to prove something to the world. Especially women. Here's the secret; women who salivate at six packs and biceps are the women who will leave you at the drop of a hat. Do women like a chiseled, ripped handsome dude? Of course. Some women only want that type of dude and don't care about a man's intelligence, income or sense of responsibility. Especially Western women. These women are dangerous.

All women are dangerous actually. They are weak, mostly helpless humans that have to use their one weapon, sexuality, to navigate a scary world where half of the population wants to fuck them (both literally and figuratively). They will use that to manipulate you and distract you, this is a fact. But some women (less and less every day) actually want to have your babies. This is important. If you want to have a successful romantic and sexual life, you need to stop fucking women who dream about cum-gutters, have had multiple abortions and still text their ex's. Stop dating women who, in all likelihood, have a kid or two you know nothing about. Statistics are very clear; men in long last relationships with a single quality woman make more money, have more kids and live longer.

- Stop giving a fuck. This is the single most important thing that separates pathetic men from "alpha" men. Simply. Not. Giving a fuck. If you can manage to improve your mental fortitude and confidence to stop caring about what people think or say about you, how much money you make compared to your neighbor, how much hotter that girl is than the one standing next you, how much bigger traps the dude in the gym next to you has, how your buddy has slept with ten more women than you. Stop caring about this shit because nobody cares except you. You are the one who cares, and it fucks with your mind and your success for absolutely no reason.

At the end of the day you will be old and dying; when that day comes, all the memories of the beat up pussy you slayed and reps you busted out and money you wasted on trips to foreign countries you have absolutely no investment in will be forgotten. The only thing you will care about is the family that you have around you to say goodbye and that you have a legacy worth remembering left behind.
