Bro you have no idea how proud of you I am right now. Put it here People seem to forget that this community really is aimed at improving yourself and not just to help you get laid.

This community really is aimed at improving yourself and not just to help you get laid.
I wish more people from outside the community realized this.

I wish more people inside the community realized this!

To be honest I think most people here do - but Seddit seems darker from the outside looking in.

I don't only mean the reddit community, I mean the entire pickup community that has risen in the last few years. It's understandable though, if you're a lonely virgin and you see guys out picking up beautiful women, it's easy to think the only thing they're doing is having sex with beautiful women, when that is just a side effect of the whole thing. It's an easy goal to set and an easy target to sell.

What do you expect when those PUA bootcamps promise everyone there they are going to get laid by a beautiful woman within six weeks? They are specifically marketed as a means to solely pick up women. There is a lot of material in there about making yourself better, but what sticks is the focused message given to the masses. Pay for our course, and you can have all the women you want! Can you honestly say you're surprised at the perceived image and keep a straight face?

Why did you repeat back to me exactly what I already said, except in the form of an accusatory question?
[–]SaggyCheeks 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I do what I want. You're not my real mom.

I learned it from you, dad!

Who gives a fuck about what any of them think about us. They can all upvote awkward penguin posts and cat pictures ( not that there's anything wrong with that.. I guess) while we all mold and chisel ourselves into who we were meant to be.

Pretty soon you'll learn to stop giving a shit about the haters.

I've pretty much been in this same predicament recently. Unhappy with the way I've been sticking to my comfort zone (i.e. friends, job, living). Awesome job to you and thanks for the inspiration. Its all about getting out of that comfort zone and finding out who we really are.

I have accepted the first offer and will be giving my 2 weeks to my current job. Still have the option of receiving an offer from other position if my interviews go well enough.
Seeing light at the end of the tunnel, time to take this confidence into the game...
[–]Gfresh404 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Congrats man - may I ask what field you're in?
[–]Soccer21x 13 points14 points15 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Being awesome.
[–]wolverine_ 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Congratulations! If you don't mind me asking I'm just curious-did you accept the position for Uniqlo by any chance?
[–]PiEBLOCK1 points 14 years ago [recovered] (2 children) | Copy Link
First interview tomorrow. You as well?
[–]wolverine_ 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hey man, sorry for the late reply. Best of luck on that interview. Be sure to mention their expansion plan if you don't know about it already. I just know about Uniqlo because a friend of mine is working there in Japan right now. It's lots of work but they have an amazing plan to take foreign markets, particularly the US. They're posting some of the highest earnings in company history lately, so if you have the chance I'd take that offer.
[–]xyals 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Holy shit. I've never heard of Uniqlo, do they sell good stuff? I need to check this out. Seeing as how only Asian sizes fit me, I'm pretty limited in terms of buying clothing from North American retailers.
[–]rddtgmr 3 points4 points5 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
That's all nice and congrats, but how about telling us a few things about what you learned instead of just "I feel better now"?
[–]PiEBLOCK6 points 14 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I'm still in progress, and am having a hard time calling my boss to resign. But, things I am learning from this process:
-Nobodies going to come along and place something in your lap, you need to take chances and know you're going to fail
-Keep going, get back up when you fail, eventually you'll find a fit. It may not be the best fit or perfect but it's a step forward
Edit: I just called my boss and gave two weeks. He supports me and wished me well. If you put yourself out there and are honest with people, I think they can appreciate someone who is looking out for themselves.
[–]kagayaki 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Yeah, that's what I gathered from it too.
I feel like we're missing a few steps in between step 1.) join seddit, ... profit!
Like was posted a few days ago, whether it's a FR or a LR, it's nice to point out things other sedditors can learn from your situation.. rather than it just being an excuse to say "see, look what I got."
[–]kdieep 3 points4 points5 points 14 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
May I ask what you do for a living? And what you will do?
[–]PiEBLOCK2 points 14 years ago [recovered] (1 child) | Copy Link
Retail. Men's fashion retail (suits). Who knows what next..
[–]xtr3m 4 points5 points6 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don Draper?
[–]leodoestheopposite 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Well done!
[–]DebatablyClutch 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Just because I've been looking for someone in particular and this post relates to it, who is the best Sedditor to talk to about Inner Game?
[–]redditor29198 2 points3 points4 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Great job! It really is life-changing, and just think: this is only the beginning. You know how awesome it is now? It gets better, for the rest of your life. Every moment is a chance to become a better person, once you make the decision to let nothing stop you.
[–]Soccer21x 1 point2 points3 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I'd like you to know that I stopped reading after the first paragraph... so that I could play the song. I then proceeded to read the rest allowed in my best speaking voice. This is definitely the ending to a movie somewhere.
[–]Ariverse 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Chicks are such suckers for a good suit. I would know ;)
[–]FRiver 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Cause you're a card magician?
[–]occupykony 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Awesome, dude. Just today, despite being tired and sick I found myself instinctively opening a cute blonde girl and her friend and getting great responses from both. Two months ago I would have looked at the ground and walked right past them both. Self-improvement is the most rewarding thing out there.
[–]TomTucker55 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Awesome stuff man. Is there a subreddit more aimed at these kinds of posts (self-improvement tips, not just motivation)?
[–]spec-k 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Wow... I am in the exactly same position as you, in my life. Except i havent heard back from the city job yet (hasnt closed yet)... I am so proud and happy for you! I can only hope I end up the same!
[–]goodknee 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
good for you! what changed specifically? or did you just say "fuck it i've got this"?
[–]bananaboy92 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I am happy for you man, grats
Holy shit... get out of my brain. Things have been starting to look up recently for me as well ever since changing a different mindset. Instead of a new job however (I'm currently working) my brother and I are diving into a new entrepreneurial project. Training in Japan? You serious? I'm going to be there in a year or so after graduation no matter what so SEE YOU THERE friend! Also, that SUIT feeling... oh god. I heard from some movie "its strange how its almost as if its the suit that makes the man..." I don't care if people call me superficial, I feel much better in a suit theres a weird mindset one puts oneself in... I can't describe it... anyone else give it a shot?
[–]maffige 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Hey man i'm stoked for you. This might seem completely random but what industry do you work in? its just im finishing uni soon and looking for career ideas. Training in Japan and earning a life changing amount of money sounds fucking ideal! haha
[–]maffige 0 points1 point2 points 14 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Don't worry just seen other comments, slightly different question, how'd you get into it? cheers mate
