Wow a 9-5 life is hard

SnapSocialGuru · 2018-07-18T18:04:20+00:00

That moment when you realize that life isn't all about pickup and approaching women.

You'll figure it out, man.

You'll learn balance.

You'll learn priorities.

It'll make your game better. Or you'll find excuses and slump into mediocrity.

But don't be negative. That's the worst thing you can do.

32 hours is not a lot. You have 3 days a week off

rambo150 · 2018-07-18T17:29:05+00:00

I daygame at lunch, or when I take a break from work. And then take those women for lunch later on during the week.

If you don't like the 9-5, find a skill you can develop that can be sold online.

Then quit your job, sell that skill online, and work for yourself.

Try a reverse 9 to 5. Night shift. Seeing 3 people at most per shift. 1 day off a week. Shit pay. No vacation days. Now that was pretty depressing.

TonyDCoaching · 2018-07-18T20:03:44+00:00

I learned game when I worked 40+ hours a week. I'd sleep when I got off work, a nap, and then go out at night. Every night for about two hours at least. And I'd DG on my lunch break. That's how I learned it all.

Now I have a small business and I work all day and night but it's fun and rewarding. I can take time off and travel whenever I want to. But I like working.

Ironchar · 2018-07-18T22:02:09+00:00

pff thats nothing. try 10 hour days at 50 hours a week?

nothing still, crank it to 60?

think thats horseshit? now 60 hours 7 days a week while working like 3 separate job.

welcome to the new modern world. It sucks but its what the conditions are.

Endoss · 2018-07-18T18:15:34+00:00

Lol? This can't be serious. Grow up. Do stuff after work, learn to manage your time and stay on the ball.

Mr_Queef · 2018-07-18T17:59:27+00:00

try 70 hour weeks. dont mean to diminish how you feel but but 32 hours is a dream.

Bc_Land · 2018-07-18T21:05:55+00:00

A better plan is to ditch that job for one that you love so much that it doesn't seem like work.

The one that allows you to get up in the morning thinking, "Wow! Look what I get to do today!"

The one that doesn't seem like work, it's just what you do.

The one that allows you freedom and independence to make your own schedule.

TheXXL · 2018-07-18T21:09:47+00:00

Working 9 to 6 as well, then commute 50 minutes to and from work. It´s tough, but in time you get used to it, I rarely get to bed before midnight, getting up at 6 to 7 to get ready for the day...

The funny thing is, at about 8 i get a rush of energy and cannot sleep anymore lol... I guess that happens when you do this for years...

DanielShaww · 2018-07-18T22:00:55+00:00

Lol dude I have to work 60 hours + and weekends are a no no (my only day off is on monday). How's that for getting chicks...

cbh28 · 2018-07-18T22:31:26+00:00

I don't know how far away you're from your job, but 9 to 5 is actually really good, it leaves you plenty of time for your own stuff. But if your commute is very long, then I'd understand. My job is at 20 mins biking from my place, so if I apply that to your working hours, I'd get home at 5:20, leaving me until 11pm to do whatever I want. That's almost 6 hours of free time. So go to a bar after work, especially if you're into sports, when the sports season begins, sports bars are great to meet new people, women included. Go to the gym, walk around the city or parks, chill at a coffee shop..... there's a lot to do and where you can meet people.

billiam632 · 2018-07-18T22:43:36+00:00

It takes about 5 minutes to approach a woman and ask for her number. You should be fine.

temporaryone12345 · 2018-07-18T18:02:12+00:00

I feel your pain, been working 8-5 and one in four saturdays a month, normally too tired for anything after work. Make the most of the weekends and online game is about the only reccomendation. I kinda like the financial security full time work gives, it's nice not having to worry too much about a bank balance...

RainmakerIcebreaker · 2018-07-18T20:55:45+00:00

if you live in a big city, game on weeknights.

that way you won't be spending the weekends at dive bars competing with every other testosterone-driven dude for sex.

brandon123456789evan · 2018-07-18T22:02:51+00:00

what do you love? Listen to Gary Vee. do a side hustle on what you love.

Be it games, pick up, or ehatever. even startrek

S3xb3ard · 2018-07-18T22:17:17+00:00

I work in a field where 50-80h weeks with inconsistent hours are the norm. I’ve still managed to maintain a very high level physique and am almost never short of pussy. It may be difficult, but it’s doable. If I can do it, so can you. Nothing worth having is easy, remember that. Being able to balance a professional career and a life is about prioritizing.

Fnarty · 2018-07-18T23:47:13+00:00

OP realizes life sucks

lonesomesoul95 · 2018-07-19T06:45:04+00:00

What you do certainly matters, which is why the concept of college scares me, in that most people don't have experience or actually know if they will enjoy what they're getting into.

As for me, I worked an 8-5 office job that I absolutely despised for a few years that I recently quit to cook in a kitchen. Still around 40 hours a week, but I'm enjoying it much more. Will probably move up to 50-60 hours a week soon.

ToxicRocketry · 2018-07-19T09:50:15+00:00

Welcome to the world as a non-powerful man.

People say that our lives in the modern age are less hectic than in the past. This is bullshit. The modern age has brought such ridiculous work hours and had them normalized by surreptitious lobbying that our ancestors would look at us and think we had gone insane.

9 AM to 5 PM isn't normal and it isn't healthy. If you value living well and having the free time to be your own master instead of slaving away for someone else, consider freelancing.

sabinmightyfist · 2018-07-19T12:38:06+00:00

It's tough. If you cut out the bullshit (mind numbing tv, video games etc) you'd be surprised how much time you have. I workout 6 days a week, meditate, read and write and my 7:30-4:00 job with an 1:30 commuting time (combines both ways) leaves me plenty of time to work on my goals.

throwitawayagainyay · 2018-07-19T14:57:24+00:00

I feel your pain. I was fresh out of college just 4 years ago. Usually the first year is the hardest because it's such an adjustment. But as you grow make sure you learn quickly to become a veteran/senior person as fast as possible. The work will become easier. The slack you get for being senior increases. You get more days off with higher positions.

IMO once you're full time life becomes all about the vacation days and using those to the maximum benefit (combining with holidays, taking amazing vacations). You have to learn the game and once you do it gets much easier.

rambo150 · 2018-07-19T18:04:11+00:00

Life is weird.. yesterday I was all down.

Today I have this glow of confidence because I made 3 sales and doubled my salary to 6000.

I think the key is accepting those emotions and not be them (your emotions).

Next to that, we have to realize we can’t have it all.

We have to choose: meditation gym, spending time with your homies that you haven’t seen in a while.

Time will define what you think is important; a life of mediocrity or priorities that make you grow.

kozscabble · 2018-07-20T18:59:49+00:00

I work 84 hr weeks..... try dating or meeting anyone fam, enjoy what u got.

volcanolairbadguy · 2018-07-18T19:17:26+00:00

Julien aimed at 3 per day min. Its ideal you pick something you love and monopolize it. Even worse, most cucks play house with cratered SMV ie Chad's booty call when she hit the wall (late 20). Its baby rabies when Chad stops hitting it. Its then divorce beta cucks provider who will raise Chad's baby and the state extract's his resources.

You sure as fuck want to be making smart decisions.
