Turned a girl down for being promiscuous and watched the light fade from her eyes
>be me
>handsome, /fit/, have a stable job at 26, my own car, place, and working towards my own goals
>went out with a gorgeous girl on Friday
>date is going great, both laughing and having a good time and I could tell she was into me from the start
>she starts dropping hints about her past, going to raves, past relationships and hookups

This shit was hard to watch bros. I've politely turned some girls down in my life but never like this. I know I did the right thing and I don't regret it in the least but this shit was still hard.

Lift very casually. Strong by average gym goers standards. Meet

She makes me want to be better. Lifts go up. I want to marry this woman and give her the life she deserves. Life is good.

Got the flu and spent the night with a 102F fever, convulsing like a junkie with withdrawal sysmptons. Feel like somebody beat the shit out of me with a baseball bat.
I was supposed to statt a new lifting program on monday, but I doubt I'll be recovered for another week.
Well, there goes december, I guess.

I had jaw surgery two months ago and have got back into dating.
Pre-sugery I was in great shape but had a geeky, weak face. I dated alright but had less confidence and looked, well, geeky.
I've just started dating again and holy fuck the difference. I'm trying to get back into shape, as I had to take 2 months off exercise, though I'm still in better shape than most men over 30. But christ, I'm getting more matches online, more attention irl, and dates are going better. And I'm still in fucking braces lmao

It's like a loop; I'm better looking, which has made me more confident, which has made me better looking.

Can't wait to see where this ends up

>>76877168
This behvaior just rewards women with sex for being trashy. Same for dudes banging fat chicks. The result is millions of women who think they only deserve to date 9/10 men because said men were willing to pump and dump them, which in turn increases the difficulty for dating in general.

Besides that, I had a coach kolton vid recc'd to me on youtube and ended up watching like 12 of his videos and I didn't have a damn clue that social media absolutely blew the rep and want for roids the fuck up. I just saw a video about a 19 year old girl blasting 500mg test with 5mg/day anavar; another was doing like 140mg var/week plus nandrolone and chinese diuretics at 22 for NPC wellness, what the ACTUAL FUCK.
I'm never going to hop on the sauce but I've been fighting for every single inch of gains I've gotten after I recovered from my back injury and being 300lbs and it feels like a sick joke when zoom zooms are taking deals with the devil and blowing the fuck up to 250lbs at nineteen. Not sure what my exact cope will be except that my balls are not shrunken and I have healthy, youthful skin and a good hairline after 30.

I have hip impingement (probably FAI) and no money for physiotherapist. can't squat, can't DL, all I can do are half reps of leg press with relatively light weight, anything more and I irritate it. in general, every time I feel like I making progress, I hit some type of wall like that where I have to deload to the weight I was using half a year ago.

I'm not having a very good time bros. I'm trying to stay optimistic but its tough.

>>76878904
If she freindzoned you she won't date you just because she's single kek

I had sex for the first time this weekend.

She was a chubby mid looking slut I picked up at the club. She came up to me and we danced for a while, then I took her back to my place and we fucked that night and in the morning before I dropped her off at her place.

Overall, it was fun, but sex in general is way overhyped. I imagine sex with someone you vibe with or someone who's very hot would be great, but in terms of pleasure, jacking off actually feels better.

I am 6'8" and 31 years old and basketball maxing right now. Unemployed but I have a job interview Thursday. It's a dream job working with startups and it's remote. I might have to miss the interview because I'm on call for jury duty. I'm getting decent female attention at the bar and church but I can't be bothered to commit to any one girl. It's weird like I find them attractive, want to sleep with them, but deep down I just have a feeling they will take more energy than they contribute. Probably projecting past relationships. Anyways I just want to keep hooping right now and working on my vert so I can dunk it like a young lebron.

What were you having problems with?
I read books and watched videos before and first semester was a breeze. It wasn't until setters and getters and pointers that I had trouble.

>>76879024
the whole thing, man. I just wasn't picking it up. I got the opportunity off a scholarship I applied for because my state needed more students to make the numbers look better or some shit I guess so I applied and got accepted, even though the first time I applied 12 years ago I got denied yet almost nothing between these two points in time has changed.

Anyways I was just struggling hard. I thought I'd be able to grit my teeth and just power through it but I couldn't even upload the projects I worked on to github or whatever without running into problems. The first week and a half of my studying was me fighting with the system to allow me to save in the proper format because it wasn't compatible with my PC for some reason. Then after that it was just issue after issue, me begging for one extension after another, and then my would-be teacher (it was all online so "teacher" is a stretch) was also in the process of moving so it would take her anywhere between 2 and 10 hours to reply to me, if not the next day. If you hang out on /g/ at all you may have seen me screeching about it earlier this year, but at this point I've just kind of hung it up. I barely remember anything about it now because after I dropped the class I just abandoned ship and started doubling down on the job hunt.

>>76876876
I have come to the realization that my only two real issues in life right now are health and money.
>health
Self explanatory. I’m out of shape. I’ve experienced life on the other side, I know better than most how different things are when you’re healthy. You feel better physically and mentally, the world treats you better. I grew up fat and thought this was the norm, got fit and then I understood. I got out of shape and even though I’m not as out of shape as I was as a kid I still see the contrast. This is obvious. Fasting on days off, omad on days I work, deficit, lift walk healthy diet. Maybe even cycle carnivore.
>money
I had the last week off, paid. At first I thought that if money weren’t an issue I would be bored. I didn’t do anything this whole week. But I’m realizing that’s not true. I’m feeling more incentivized to do stuff now that I’ve had a full week off. I feel refreshed. My tendon pain is gone (job causes it). I went out to Walmart today and spent a while walking around and I normally hate that store, I didn’t even think about it I just did it. I woke up today and went on a walk, then I took my trash out then after a couple hours when stores opened I went shopping. I’m normally so sick of being around so many people I just don’t go shop until I have to. I almost went and drove to other stores too, weather was bad so I didn’t. I hate driving normally with my normal daily 1.5-2 hour commute.


So now I don’t know what to do. I need to make more money, I have no skills though and I’m not sure going back to school is an option at least right now. Would a wfh job be the solution? Idk. I need to figure this out.

>>76878948
Sex takes practice. A vagina is a comfy, warm, self-lubricating sleeve you pump your dick in and out of, not some goddam magical thing.

It is easier to get good at it in a relationship because you'll have ample opportunity for practice. You can honestly get most of the same skill development from couch-fucking a fleshlight.

Most of the fun from sex comes from being excited to get your hands/mouth/dick on a woman's body. If her body does not excite you, then go home.

>>76876876
Life is pretty good. Drove down south to see family and friends for the holiday, didn't overstay anywhere. Parents and siblings are doing well. In-laws are all doing well.

But friends are...showing their age? I'm in my 40s and honestly don't feel like I'm old. Still advancing in my career, still horny, still making gains, still doing new things. My friends from college are all talking about x years until retirement and how fat and tired we all are. I don't concentrate on any of that. After a "failure to launch" in my 20s im better than ever and seem to have lapped all of them in health, finance, and family. Wish I could somehow inspire them to keep trying.

Then last night my wife sneezed so hard she peed, which really upset her. She's been complaining about feeling old too. Am I really the only one that doesn't feel it?

I started going to church events again, and people keep commenting on my weight loss.
Feels good.
Seem to be getting some attention from qts too. 2026 might just be the year I get married, haha.

Fuck man when I was 23 I owned my own house fully furnished, a good job, owned my truck. Now I don’t even have a license or the ability to get one for a long time. I have basically no possessions because over the last 2 moves with my ex she just sort of took over the furniture and we got rid of most of my things. I put in all the money on the house upfront (about 36k) and we’re selling at a loss, can’t afford it now that I don’t have a job. I figured it was only fair to split whatever we get from the house with her because I love her and she did so much work on the place. I just wish I could go back a few months ago and show myself the chasm I was about to rip through my life.

I'll have a negroni.

Put my dad in a nursing home cuz I live a thousand miles away and don't want to be his caretaker at 30. The rest of my immediate family is dead at this point so it's kind of just me.

This one girl who made out with me a few times is a self-reported lesbian and I'm that one guy that does it for her. Fuck if I know. Been on a couple dates but I'm not pushing it too much, maybe I'm just a fun distraction.

I gained like 70 pound in a year being stressed and lazy and now I have to try and lose this shit.

Any reason to not roid right now? I’ve read the roid wiki plenty of times and have been on these boards forever I wouldn’t be a dumbass.

>>76876876
Just water please.
Since getting off my cut and being in what I considered peak physical condition for myself in February, I've gained about 10 pounds. Of course, everyone still thinks I look great, but I don't see it. I see 10 pounds of fat. I want to lose it. And I realized that about four months ago, the weight gain stalled. I am just maintaining this and it's easy. I can have treats when I want, I can drink when I want. This is very easy to maintain, but I want to go back to being super lean. I want to go back to being extremely athletic looking, not just fit looking. It's just hard and it's especially hard to make a decision at this time of year when I'm getting requests to bake pumpkin pies for coworkers and stuff and I'm surrounded by treats. I'm constantly offered food. Tge fats in my life literally WATCH me eat or they start accusing ne if anorexia. Of course not all treats appeal to me, that's part of why I've only gained back 10 pounds and been able to maintain it, abd I have no problem eating for show and just not eating later, but still...

>>76876924
Good for you, Anon. Nothing will change if everything's still acceptable. People don't lose weight until they realize their life is unmanageable as it is. Same goes for any vice. And women don't realize there are consequences for their actions until the cows come home.

>>76877829
Why did you invite him if he's known to behave this way? Why didn't you ask him to leave when he stole your liquor and drank all of it? Why didn't you do anything at all? You let this man essentially come into your house and shit on the rug.

>>76878904
Why do you hang around with these people? That's a genuine real question. If one of them is already rejected you and goes through men like socks, what's the point of hanging around her? If another one of your "friends" hates men and likes making them miserable, why do you hang around? Have you considered that you might be happy if you left the bucket?

>>76879111
It might be a little bit late to inspire them. If anything, they probably look at you and say, "well, he's just built different. He just has those superior genetics, and that's why he's still able to go to the gym and why he hasn't gotten fat and lost muscle tone." Tell your wife to do more kegel exercises, by the way. It is never normal to piss when you sneeze, cough, or laugh. That's just a sign of a very weak pelvic floor, and it can be fixed.

>>76876924
Fair play, anon. I broke up with a long-term girlfriend over this shit. Not as explicit or whorish as what you've described, but just for stuff she hadn't told me before that caused me to change how I saw her. Not even a conscious decision on my part, it's just like the attraction and romantic feelings I had turned off even though I still had affection for her. As tough as it was, after a few months of further reflection I can see it was 100% the right decision and now I've met a girl who is way more in line with my own values

I'll have to double check, but I found out my graduation is delayed a semester. The last class I need is only offered once a year and I have to wait for next fall. I'm probably close to not passing another class. That sucks a lot more but I guess it works in the long run.

Went two weeks of noporn, but faltered and jacked off today.

My biggest reason for leaving this 'addiction' is that it takes too much of my time and energy. Edging for hours isn't productive nor is it relaxing.
But now, through some introspection, I realized there were my emotional factors that went into me binging porn for the day. I was tired and frustrated. Both of my career (or lack thereof) and my love life being basically null. It didn't help that I was almost about to bump into my ex and I really don't wanna see that woman at all. After coming back home, I was exhausted but I didn't know how to relieve the tension out of my system. I 'defaulted' back to what I knew.
It's tough but I am going to eventually learn to live without needing porn because truth is, I don't need it.

>>76879653
you have my suppport anon - but only get it if you really need it!

Does anyone else here feel they look better with a higher bf? I'm not talking fatcunt level, but like 15-17% instead of 12% say. I feel like having a naturally angular face means that a slightly higher level of fat balances it out a bit. I don't think anyone actually looks great at very low levels, also

>>76880113
Very very few people will ever actually get to 12%. I really miss how I looked at 14%, I'm that wretched cursed type that has a fatty round face above 15% and the lower I get the better my face looks. Its just hard to maintain that shit. Currently sitting around 23% trying to get back there... And this time I swear I won't get so fat again.

>Why did you invite him if he's known to behave this way?
Because I thought he wasn't depressed anymore after getting a gf. I havent had him over to my place in almost a year and from a distance it seemed like he stabilized. It turns out he's just like that.
>Why didn't you ask him to leave when he stole your liquor and drank all of it?
Because I didn't know he did that until I cleaned up the next morning and found it after he left already. I thought it was all the beer he downed that he brought hinself but that turns out to only be part of the case.
>Why didn't you do anything at all?
I did. I refused to do anything he wanted and would not back him up with anything which hurt his ego and got him go lock himself in the guest room instead of continuing to act out
>You let this man essentially come into your house and shit on the rug
And i'm not going to again

Exactly what happened to me, I got to 32 and suddenly decided I did want kids after all.
Now I'm 37 with two kids and I couldn't be happier.
I think it's a search for meaning in life, and if I hadn't had kids I would've probably started a dozen different hobbies instead.

>>76880390
No, for men its maturity and realising that theres more to this life than epic chungus fun and partying. For women it's an actual biological thing for men its a concious thing we get with becoming more mature and wiser.

Who is this faggot to you? I had a friend like this and I cut him off. It was the best decision I ever made. Lonely little bitch would cry and beg me to spend time with him then start shitting everything up and cross blatantly obvious lines in disrespect, he felt super entitled to everything. He would have to get high or drunk all the time and if even 1 person didn’t want to partake he’d spend the whole night whining and say shit like “WOW IM SO HLAD I GET TO EXPERIENCE THIS [shitty generic 35% medicinal]! I WOULD FEEL LEFT OUT IF I DIDNT HAHAHA PROBABLY WONT SEE THIS AGAIN” or he would beg people to smoke his weed with them and then demand they paid him for it after
He would have tantrums literal fits if someone didn’t do something the way he wanted even if it was something for themself or something for the entire group. And then try to forcibly get everyone to agree his way was good even if it was as retarded as canned corn on pizza. “Wow okay wow this was amazing, d-don’t you guys agree? W-what do you think [name]? See guys I’m so glad I did this for you”
These aren’t people man. This dude got cucked by 3 different people in that group before I left that circle years ago and there’s no reason to think your friend is any different. You wouldn’t hang with a cuck would you?
It’s okay to outgrow people man. This kind of loser will only drag you down to his level

>>76880868
you can be as weird as you want if youre fit and attractive, so the fact they didnt just scoff and turn u away as soon as you said that intro line means they were ok with you. but i can deep dive into things if you please

>>76880900
I really just wanted to be Daisy's friend, anon. Sure, there would be surging levels of attraction every now and then, but I genuinely wanted a woman who I could be platonic friends with and was willing to generally look weak and honest in front of without having to worry about giving her the (((ick))) because attraction would have been eliminated right away.
That and it's not a bad tactic to have a female platonic friend who can introduce you to her friends.

>>76880904

if you are trying to get platonic female friends then you kinda have to normie max, its all dependent on many different factors but ive bit the bullet a few times now im content with friends wives or friends sisters etc etc

She is gone now. 4 years together, almost 3 years sharing the same place. It's such a weird feeling today, I kept myself busy helping her pack, then cleaning up the house, work, training. But now it's 11pm and it's hit me that for the first time in forever, I will be sleeping alone.

I have done everything I could to not end up this way. But it was clear that things were not going to change, and we were only together as more of a convenience rather than real desire for each other. At the end of the day, 99% of people in 99% of situations do not change; and especially not for someone else. So i've made the decision to stop living in this misery and put an end to it, give myself a chance to be happy. And now it hurts. But I will be fine.

I've spent the last 15 years in copywriting and digital marketing, and the floor basically dropped out from under us. Because of AI, there's too many people and not enough work.

So, I took the last year working on small freelance projects and wrote my first novel. I think it's pretty good. Now I'm querying agents, and I have it out with a few that are interested and a small publisher.

But I'm out of money. Like, I won't be able to cover rent next month. I need a huge stroke of luck, or I'm in serious trouble.

Yes, are you not aware that you're sperm deteriorate over time? Are you not aware that you, as a whole, as a human body and a flesh suit deteriorate past 30, but especially your vitality decreases? It's not just your testosterone going down, your sperm are not as numerous, they're not as healthy, they're not as able to get the job done. Oh yeah, also, there is a high correlation between older fathers and autism. So there's that too.

It's a gift. It's never too late.

In 2 days I’m turning 34 years old. I have accomplished absolutely nothing. I’m a complete and utter miserable pathetic failure in every single aspect of life. I’m the biggest loser on this board and surely rival if not being the biggest loser on all of 4chan. I can’t even put into words how miserable, ashamed, humiliated, and despondent I am. It’s all I think about every single waking moment of my life, how I’m 15, even 20 years behind everyone else and how there’s no point anymore. There’s no point in going on. I need to kill myself sometime soon so that my parents can enjoy what’s left of their lives without the burden of my existence hanging over their heads

>>76882650
KC DONT DO IT

>>76876876

I'm a 31 year old male. I lost my job 9 months ago for reasons im still not sure of I gave 100% everyday, then one of my subordinates stole and for some reason I got fired too.

I worked too much and was even fine with losing my job, I signed up for unemployment for the first time ever, and was just enjoying life. They cut me off last month with 2 weeks notice, ive been applying this whole time for jobs, but more aggressively of late, and no one is interested or even calling. I figure I got maybe 60 more days for im outta money, cause this expensive fucking cunt city even sends you tickets in the mail for block the box interestections.

This whole time ive been lifting cause I know nothing else and thought at least id he a fit fucking loser. The other day though my brother visited and we went to an escape room, we're the same age and he's 15 months older, but both 6'1, we used to get called twins growing up, now I have about 25 pounds of muscle on him, I still have all my hair, whereas he's almost entirely bald in the front, and she asked him if he lives in the city, even though the nigga was wearing a wedding ring. So there goes that too.

Christmas is coming up and I have no idea what to do and im entirely out of hope. The only answer is to ask my parents for money, and I'd rather fucking die than that. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

really fit hot alt girl at my gym ive tried getting her attention but she never looks up from the floor im giving up shes probably a lesbian anyway

"really fit hot alt girl at my gym ive tried getting her attention but she never looks up from the floor im giving up shes probably a lesbian anyway"

find out where she gets her groceries and start shopping there until she says something. dont be weird and be the first one to talk to her though.

Can any of you fags advise me on going back to school at 30? I’m looking at engineering. I don’t know how I can balance school and a full time job or if there’s other options available where I can just focus on school 100% and still pay my bills. I already know it means debt, but I feel so fucked and lost. Do I take a loan? Is that even a thing?
I’m also fucking retarded and have to take refresher math courses despite getting As in math during highschool just because it’s been so long. Found some that teach you everything from first elementary level up to college level so that’s not a problem just have to do it a few times to get back to normal there.
>adhd
My ability to focus has gotten worse so that’s also a concern, also why I doubt I can work while in classes. Idk how to fix this. I hate medication and don’t wanna take any either none of it works well for me.


I do have a lot of an associates completed btw I dropped out because I didn’t know what I wanted to do.
I’m so lost and worried I just want to be comfortable financially while having a job I’m even remotely interested in

>>76883389
I knew people in uni that were 30+ going back to get Bachelors in CS/BS/EE etc. It is 100% doable, most classes nowadays I hear are online and the only ones that are required to be in-class are labs or exams (SOMETIMES). Depending how many geneds you took you won't even have to do these lab classes and can focus on the online portion of your major. Lots of people do what you are talking about and yeah you can get loans still if you have decent credit, FAFSA, depending on state there is state loans.

I am the lightest and the weakest I have ever been, and I don’t even have a six pack to show for it. Genuinely how do you niggas get shredded and actually look good?

>>76883402
I think I am mostly covered with my associates, I know I’ll have to take some additional classes if I do engineering though. Most geneds were done except math.


What I’m thinking, is maybe, just maybe if I could get a non call support WFH job then I could balance classes and a full time job. Because essentially it means I could study on the clock.
My current job is only 4 days a week so maybe I just stop being totally retarded and buckle down. I already don’t have a life so it just means filling the 80 hours I have outside of work with classes and studying. Surely I wouldn’t have to study more than like 3 hours most days right? Class after some is a no go, brain is off won’t do well. Class as early as possible in days off is the way so that would basically mean class fri sat and if offered Sunday morning, probably be done around 12pm then spend a few hours studying those three days, in addition to time spent on assignments. After work would probably be like 2 hours studying, then 2-3 hours to myself to cook clean and whatever.
I genuinely don’t know if I can even handle that though. I would probably need to study more than most people with having not been in school in like 8 years. I already got through all of highschool and half my associates without studying once so I barely knew how when I started. Fuck. My studying way is rewrite everything dozens of times read my notes and take notes off my notes a dozen times then read the book again and make new notes to be safe. Takes forever.


Leaves me with almost zero personal time and forget free time to fuck off and relax or even to work on hobbies I mean just time to cook clean workout.


IF…. If I could get a loan to not just cover tuition but to live off of it would be doable. I would even get medicated if I had to in order to pass. Idk if that’s a thing people do. Fuck I feel so stuck right now I know other people have done this but I’m not other people

>>76883389
I graduated 2 years ago with a BS in EE and a lot of my classmates were actually in their mid or late 20's and there were a few that were in their 30s. I don't know what your associate degree is in, but if it was something STEM related it's definitely doable.

>>76883933
it is doable but like you said there would be very little off time, if you want to commit to the grind for a better job go for it but WFH non-call jobs are basically impossible now unless you have experience or already in the company that does that everyones back to in office 3 days a week at least. even friends in the field that had WFH jobs during covid are now in office when theyve been with the company for years. so unless you have the network for one dont get your hopes up. even then depending on what degree you get the job market might be fucked for it so youd have got your degree for a worse paying job

I am achieving all my goals while being an alcoholic and a drug addict. It's a weird life, I feel like a total asshole and hate myself when I'm using and the rest of the time my life is extremely easy. I have a girl, a job, a spectacular body, no reason to get in trouble at all but every now and then I go full nigger.
Two days ago some idiot pointed at me with a gun for no reason. I told him to suck my dick. I wonder why I get into that stupid bullshit. I wonder what it's like to be a normal person. I wonder what not being an addict is like. I don't even remember it. Even when I've gone clean for months I always feel like an addict. Even when I'm working hard to achieve my goals, it feels like everythig I do comes with the asterisk that I'm an addict and will always be. It makes me want to kill myself even when I live a fantastic, dreamed life.

Keep one foot on a chair or stool and let the leg assist you as little as possible on each rep while still completing it. I went from 1 pull-up to 3 in a week and from 3 to 7 in 2 weeks with no leg assist. Do 4 sets of as many reps as you can do until it basically your leg doing all the work twice a week. Also include other back and shoulder exercises but focus a lot on the assisted pull-ups. Really stress the negative of the assisted pull-ups too don’t just let yourself free fall down and try not to let your leg help you

>The next morning Mephistopheles returns. He tells Faust that he wishes to serve him in life, and in return Faust must serve him in the afterlife. Faust is willing to accept but is concerned that accepting the services of Mephistopheles will bring him to ruin. To avoid this fate, Faust makes a wager: if Mephistopheles can grant Faust an experience of transcendence on Earth—a moment so blissful that he wishes to remain in it forever, ceasing to strive further—then he will instantly die and serve the Devil in Hell.

This is normal, woman are chased and men are chasers, and she's making it (very) easy to be chased here.
I mean, yeah, it's a game. But fuck man, that sounds like a fun game to me. If you beg to differ, you may be gay.

I read your other posts now, I see you wanted a platonic female friend. Well, being honest and blunt is kinda not the way to do it, that's how you get pussy.

Kind of. But the devil is a jobber. He needs humans to do his work for him. Humans are the most dangerous, but they can be overcome with the power of hope.

Oh and uh since this is /fit/, eat your broccoli and chicken.

I think I could die happy if I ever see a look of genuine lust for my body in a woman's eyes. Maybe that happiness is just a couple hundred reps of bench presses and pullups away. Maybe I can lift my way into satisfaction with life.

I’ve been a porn addict since teenagehood. Lately I’ve gotten to the point where I desire it 90% of the time I’m not looking at it, but when I do look at it, it takes a long time to find something that beats the previous high because I’ve become so desensitised. I’ve read the Easypeasy book probably 5 times and it never sticks with me. I feel trapped in a pit my mind is too unwilling to climb out of.

now i just do roids and look great so i have no anxiety

Try reading Your Brain on Porn. EasyPeasy is more of an instructional book that gives you pointers. YBoP goes a little more indepth on how and why the way you are with porn.

And not gonna lie, I'm also on the same boat as you. Been wanting to quit porn for at least 4 years now and I'm trying my best to do it. You (and I) need to learn to accept we don't need porn to live.

I got myself overwhelmed. All I do in my free time is scroll vidya and jack off. I have to rebuild my discipline get back into the habit of daily routines, refresh on the math and maybe find some places to study. But I can do it. I think there’s a library near my building so I could easily enough do my online classes on my days off, spend some hours in a study room, and then also study when I get home after work.


I wanna do engineering. I could technically finish the associates and become an engineering technician, start that job most likely earn more than I am right now, gets hands on stuff doing shit I actually enjoy, and then go back again and get the bachelors and become an engineer and already have some relevant experience. I just have to figure out what field to go into. Probably mechanical because it has versatility but I wanna do automotive. ME degree can do AE if I’m not mistaken, and then if AE doesn’t work there’s still tons of other stuff I can do with ME


But if I start with the tech degree that’s probably 3-6 months then boom I can get a job wanting over min wage even if I have to start close to it

>I imagine sex with someone you vibe with or someone who's very hot would be great, but in terms of pleasure, jacking off actually feels better.
What makes sex feel good during the act is the enthusiasm of the lady you're sexing. What makes sex more memorable in your memory is having it with someone you love and are committed to (at least at the time of the act). If you want the full sex experience, you need to be committed to the lady (marriage), her to be hot (at least attractive to you) and her to be stoked to get railed by you. Once you've had all 3, there's no going back...everything less than is just masturbation. And masturbation is just hiding from the fact that your body is trying to warn you that you desire those 3 things. In other words, I'm never having sex again unless I get married because its just not worth the trouble.

>>76888575
Anon, I'm too much of an autist to flirt with someone. How I flirt with a woman is how I talk to my guy friends.

most of them want to be treated like that, once they start bringing up boyfriends is when they are trying to hint they are taken
unless its a negative thing like “oh my bf cheated on me!”

>>76888595
So why do they need to bring it up out of nowhere? Like cool. I saw the wedding ring. I wasn't even planning on going on a date while I am talking to you for business, Mrs. Receptionist. Are you trying to convince me or yourself?

Like a former alcoholic who tells you that he's sober and you didn't even bring up going out, having a drink, etc. Again who you actually trying to convince?

>>76888608
depends on context i guess and history between you and them

>>76888614

>Where are you from?

Again, why would she come up and start a conversation with me? I'm attractive, in shape, and she is attracted to and wants to fuck me. She knows she can't unless we're sneaky about it so at best I get to be the "Gym BF" or essentially gay best friend.

Anything new on tap?
Reading through these threads, I'm always struck with a weird feeling. The realization that bad thoughts are always going to be present, no matter how good your life seems, is a little haunting. Like, I'll see people here who are truly struggling, and I feel guilty for feeling as bad as I do sometimes. On the other hand, I'll see people who have, what I consider, an ideal life, and I wonder how they can feel bad when they have things that I greatly wish for. I've still got it a bit in my mind that I'll be able to have a happy life if I get a job that I'm excited to work at and someone to spend my time off with, but I wonder how realistic that is. Everything could point to me having a fulfilling life, but it seems like there will always be something that makes you feel like shit. Happiness just seems like such a weird concept to me; I still can't believe that there are people who live their life and consider themselves "happy."
Really, though, I just think I spend too much time alone with my thoughts, so thanks for listening

Honestly, I've thought about it. Tardmaxxing your way through life just sounds ideal to me. Saying it like this is going to sound like I think very highly of myself (which I definitely don't) but consciousness truly is a burden. If I had the choice to have never lived, I'd take it in an instant. Honestly, I can't even fathom having children. Having a wife is even inconceivable, so starting a family seems like a joke.
>>76889211
It is sad to watch sites you used to love turn into what they are now. Hell, it isn't just websites, as the entire internet has followed the same path. For what it's worth, I don't get demotivated by posts on here. There are just so few people who genuinely lift on here anymore, that I'm not particularly bothered by anything people say. The biggest shame of it all isn't that /fit/ is filled with off topic garbage, but that /fit/ is filled with people who don't give a shit about fitness.
>Unironically Reddit is better.
Not for a minute, but the two sties are hardly comparable in my eyes.

Today was my 34th birthday. I woke up alone like I have every single day of my life. I went to my horrible job, I spent the entire day miserable as always. No one knows it’s my birthday because I deliberately don’t tell them, made even funnier because a well-liked coworker has the exact same birthday so they get all the songs and food and everything. I come home to my parents house, where I still live because I’m a complete loser. I don’t say a word to them and go to my room where I am sitting alone in the dark and writing this post. I really wish I had the motivation to commit suicide, but I don’t. I don’t have the motivation to do anything. My birthday wish before I go to sleep will be the same thing I have prayed for every night for years, to die in my sleep from a heart attack or brain aneurysm or something similar. Maybe tonight I’ll get lucky and it will come true, and I’ll finally have a birthday wish granted. Please god I beg of you to finally grant my birthday wish. Please let me die on my birthday

>>76889401
I think to get a feel for the modern 4channer demographic you need to go onto /soc/ and just check out a regular fac rate thread. 10 years ago when I spent like a month or 2 there getting to know my looks you could find regular looking people that understood the Internet was for fun. Now it is comprised of the most blatantly obvious autists you've ever seen in your entire life and way too many browns. People like to say it's a difference in board culture but I believe those """people""" are what make up the modern 4chan user as of now.

We've basically hit the end stage of "A site that acts like retards will eventually become full of actual retards".

>Starting a family seems like a joke
It only is, because you keep thinking too much about it and are black pilled on numerous aspects of life. If you just try without thinking at all, you will become a different person and suddenly all of these things will be added to you.
>If I had the choice to have never lived, I would have taken it.
Same. But, we are in this situation regardless.
>Consciousness truly is a burden

Then do this even though it will terrify you to your core. It's almost like a form of suicide, but you are not actually killing yourself. In a week, decide that you will just start doing shit without thinking about it. You can still think about some stuff of course, but it will only be when absolutely necessary. However, before you do this, write down exactly what your plan is on a piece of paper and just tuck it somewhere. You will live the rest of your life as a jock bro suddenly transported from the 50's to now. Instead of thinking about how everything is all so depressing, you will instead argue with people at the bar about your favorite sports team or the weather. You will take women whenever you please and get money however it suits you like an animal. Then, once you are 80 and an elderly man being taken care of by his grandchildren, you will find the letter you wrote for yourself and remember everything. Your ego then will return. You have heard what is needed to be done; all you need to do now is just do it.

My friend is becoming a pick me on twitter...he has a girlfriend though...

There was this girl who used to like me in highschool. Everyone said we were meant to be, but I just didn't like her. She asked if I was gay because I hadn't "asked her out yet", but I certainly wasn't. That was 6 years ago. Nobody including her now gives a damn. Was I supposed to date her? Was that the will of God?

I'm chronically alone because I think it's a red flag if someone is interested in me. I've mostly ghosted all my friends because I can't shake the feeling that I don't deserve them or they don't like me. When women become interested me, I think it's weird that they could be interested in me so there must be something wrong with them. All evidence says otherwise but my brain won't let me feel it. I need therapy but at the same time don't feel like I deserve it.

>ghosted friends
You're a retarded person. Ask yourself, and be honest; has there ever been a point in time where you were one of your friend's favorite person for even one single day?
If you were, and you aren't anymore, pick up the phone and call your friend/s
You are not realistically going to be one of your friend's favorite person forever, but you can be in their lives permanently. Even if you're in a situation where if you never started a conversation first ever again, that you'd fall off the face of the planet, don't ever try to prove that right.
You've gotta swallow your pride and just make sure you see them every now and then, even if the spark from them has gone.
It's so important, you don't even realize.
Even if you use them for a free drink or to raid their fridge for a coke every fortnight, keep them in your life.
Because I swear to christ, you burn bridges like that and it will ruin you.
>t. Ruined me.

>>76888608
They do that to make themself more comfortable you fucking retard. That could be from a multitude of reasons. Maybe they’re unsure if you’re interested and just wanna make it clear they’re taken and not interested but don’t want to be mean or make things awkward by having you try to fuck them and have to reject you. Maybe they’re the ones interested but feel guilt. Maybe they find you creepy. It’s a normal thing. You might be being totally normal but they’re used to dudes constantly trying to fuck them so they do that to preemptively avoid future issues and awkwardness.


>>76888685
See above. I’m the anon you called an autist btw, faggot. Nothing I did was autistic aside from keeping mental note on this and updating here. I was actually normal for once in my situation which is why it resulting how it has is so noteworthy to me.


Maybe she did initiate convo because she found you attractive, maybe it was just to rid herself of guilt. Maybe it was guilt so she changed her mind and included that. Or maybe, she’s a woman so she’s a fucking retard and it’s best just to laugh at her like I am with my coworker despite how annoying it all is.

The simple fact is all male and female relationships whether dating or “friends” are based on some kind of attraction. Legit just yesterday morning at 7/11 this black chick was talking about how she used to be a dike and she switched to dick a few years ago and how she never realized all her male friends wanted to fuck her until now that’s a bitch admitting it out loud. They understand this man. Dont be a retard.

Yeah, I wholeheartedly agree. I can't think of a single board that isn't like that these days. Even the slow hobby boards have the same problem, it is just sad to see. I can't say I ever went on /soc/ back when, but I've peeked in from time to time recently and, yeah, I consider it the worst board on the site. It's just dudes trying their hardest to get other dudes to look at their dicks, its a weird place.
>>76889431
Brb, gonna drink myself retarded so that I can make it.
Truthfully, yeah, I believe it is the only way forward for me, but I can't help but feel sad about it. "Just don't think" seems like giving up on everything I've done so far, but I suppose that's the point, isn't it.
>>76890048
I've ghosted many friends, and it's just not worth it. I've got all those same anxieties as you, and me cutting communication with people has been a longtime problem for me. One of the things that has helped me was to try my hardest to take things at face value when it comes to friendships and, in turn, you'll end up being more honest about yourself too. Maybe the feeling of "these guys don't actually like me" never fully goes away. At that point, what has helped me was realizing that me thinking "they secretly don't like me" is saying that I know what they're thinking more than they do. That might not be your intention, and it was never mine, but I realized how selfish it sounded when I looked at it that way.
I don't know, everyone has their own path out of social paranoia, but do try to stop cutting out your friends. It is a terrible practice.

Fren, it's quite the opposite. Doing what you need to do to get what you want isn't giving up. Besides, I already told you how to remember everything when the time comes. If you overthink it now, you won't be able to make it.
