Ginger kombucha for me plz
Yet another up and down with my body odour problem. Thought I found a solution, got my hopes up and then... nothing, once again. Still stuck stinking.
Job wise, I might be affected by trumps tarrifs and lose my current delivery run. I'm currently building my escape plan by upskilling for a better license so I can drive heavier trucks for a better pay. My car is falling apart and I can't afford to replace it, so I really hope I can find work somewhere close to home.
Porn addiction is still going strong and desu at that point I'm not even bothering fixing it. Not that it can't be fixed, It's just that it's too much at the same time right now with everything going on.
The only positive note is that at least I've reached 65lbs for 12 reps on incline dumbbell press, which is great. Next month I might by a 70lbs.

Do you ever randomly get hit by how much of a fucking weirdo you are compared to everybody else?
For me I was recently listening to the Beatles while driving to work and realized that nobody else in my age bracket listens to this, I have no friends and literally nothing in common with other zoomers. I'm pretty much an alien from another planet.

Wow there are some shitty days huh. I have some deep psychological stuff that bubbles up every once in a while that really drags me down. I have a girl that I'm fucking but I feel pretty hurt that she doesn't seem to care about me as a person in any meaningful way. I know that's the gayest statement a man could utter but there you go, I'm trying to be honest with myself. I feel alone even if I'm with people sometimes. It just happens once a month or so that I realize the extent of the abyss and its quite bottomless. She is asking me to hang out tomorrow which of course means fucking but if I'm honest with myself I really don't want to. I just want to go to the forest and read a book and find some peace within myself. I know I'll be better when I wake up tomorrow but it's interesting to see the prism of despair that materializes in the roof of my soul sometimes.

Anyways I know no one will answer this cause no one ever does but I wanted to write this up.

Oh. And caipirinha please. We're all going to make it

>Do you ever randomly get hit by how much of a fucking weirdo you are compared to everybody else?
Yes but only when it comes to dating, everyone else seems to be able to just meet someone and then start dating them like instantly, no issues. But for me it just never turns into anything, every woman i ask out on a date just gives me a polite no. I don't understand what i'm doing wrong since every other aspect of my life is going amazing. I guess i'm just a sperg.

Ask that unique shit about you is the sprinkles on to of your cupcake
Let it define you in a positive way, what separates you from the normies. If you're single, if you have confidence in your personal tastes, chicks will actually dig it, as long as you're normal enough to be in a relationship to begin with. Don't let that stuff define you as a weirdo.. just be a "normal" person who is confident in their unique taste

>>77488644
In a very similar situation. Hanging out with this girl almost every weekend, people are starting to see us as a couple and shit. I confess to her that I feel something special. She replies that she feels the same way, that I'm a great person, but that she is not in the right time for something serious. Told me that we can still go out whenever we want tho.

Three weeks have passed since then and we haven't gone out again, and she barely texts me. Women are strange as fuck.
And i'm fucking miserable.

>>77488641

I had one of these. Had a risky creampie that came of nothing, but apparently she spent the whole time until her next period thinking about how life with me would be, and I was somehow so mature and awesome about it all that she literally fell in love with me over it. We've been married for 15 years, have 2 kids, and now she's low-libido for various reasons and I can't hardly ever get laid, and the sex is boring when I do get it.

Life is a journey, or something like that.

>>77488644

That’s rough, I’m sorry anon. The idea that men only want sex is wrong. We want sex and intimacy, and those are two different things. Keep meeting new people, you’ll find it.

Idk why people make a big deal out of music. Like it sure is nice to share the same taste as other people, but it doesnt grants you a friend circle and a gf. It's trivial.

>>77488665
Yeah I think you should never confess first. At least it has never worked for me. You can't be overly emotional as a man and that sucks. If you have some shit you would love emotional support for or at least just fucking talking about it you're seen as a little bitch. In your situation I would probably ask for a conversation and some closure. I couldn't just cut contact because I'm a little bitch and need to express the things I feel otherwise it just rots me from the inside.

>>77488674
Yeah to be honest it would be so nice to just have someone to talk to and that actually cares about you and makes at least a hit of an effort to understand you. I guess that's much too ask in this gay earth.

In February 2025, I hit a bench 1rm of 275. Since then I’ve moved out of my parents house and finished my professional certification. Yet I’ve only grown weaker and no longer enjoy lifting. These days I struggle to bench 245 for 3 reps. I’m thinking of going down severely in weight and starting from scratch. Yet I no longer enjoy lifting. I would quit lifting entirely to play rec league hockey or Pokemon cards

Saw my 2 ex gf's in the span of 3 days and i got some nostalgia. The latest one was a virgin and i just know she still wants me and she hasn't been fucked by anyone else but i can't go back now. The funny thing is that i was in a que to pay for some t-shirts i got and in front of me there was a black hot woman who ignored me but as soon as she saw the ex gf run up to me she instantly started staring me and giving me looks. Is so weird how women operate.

The other ex which was the love of my life is dating a guy who's nickname is 'Bonaparte'. It's so cringe that I don't even feel bad for fucking her, i actually feel sorry for them, he is 5'5 and balding, they are both at my gym. Btw i have emails of that ex after i blocked her telling me how much she wanted me etc. She seems to have moved on 2 years later but I wonder if i text her what her response will be

I hiked another mpuntain yesterday. Its now almost 10 tops 2500-3600m. Taking it to the next level. Losing bodyfat to see abs is worth it. How easy is it for you all to gain weight. What are some good foods

That's rough, I left a great girl because I found out she had been a stripper and onlyfans whore w/ potentially some prostitution background. Last I heard she was dating a bald mexican manlet. I texted her once telling her not to go through with that and she called me twice but I nignored her.

I feel like all I have left is fitness. I may have finally found a job I would like doing and could make a career out of. Ironically an anon from /fit/ suggested it to me a few years ago and I assumed it would never work out or wasn’t something I could ever do. He literally told me they’ll hire you zero quals or experience training you and help you get the quals and when I looked it up I didn’t see that, and now I’m seeing postings with my city doing exactly that. Don’t wanna discuss too in depth because over talking about goals makes them not work for me. But I’m excited about this, hopefully I can get an interview and get the job.


Other than that I’ve been worrying I can’t form attachments to women anymore. I went until 20 before kissing a girl, got my first gf got overly attached. Doesn’t help that in retrospect it was the typical BPD drowning in me in affection and love bombing while also trying to isolate me. That was a shit show, hooked up with a few girls after but ultimately just became afraid of women for a while. Tried to date again last few years had one I really liked and last time I saw her I just didn’t care. Even while fucking her I just wanted to be at home alone cozied up in my apartment listening to some tunes or playing a game. I feel horrible because despite that I care about that girl a lot. I hope she meets another guy. I feel some desperate thoughts too, wanting to settle with her so I don’t die alone. Which I know is the wrong move even though it seems that 99% of men go that route even when they know that’s wrong…
I feel kinda shitty that I don’t care about dating or sex or any of it anymore. I just want to be alone, do a job I find at least mildly interesting that pays enough for comfort, and to push myself fitness wise enjoy a hobby or two.

>>77489596

>>77488557
Starting my own business and I grossly underestimated how much money it would take to start up. Had a 90min convo with a business accountant and he said it would be $2900/yr for their services. I thought that was a bit steep, so I asked some other business owner friends what they pay, and they came back with $5000/yr and $8000/yr. I haven't even started making any money yet, so I'm just gonna get some bookkeeping software and artistically track spending and receipts for a bit.

On top of all this, my financial situation is awful. I took a pay cut to work harder on my business, which results in me making about $20k/yr now. Luckily, this is enough to cover bills/gas/groceries, but only barely, and with no room for anything else. It's gonna be a tight next couple months.

On the bright side, I proposed to my GF at the beginning of the month, and we are now engaged and in full wedding planning mode, so that's very exciting. Gonna be touring some venues next week. All in all, seems like all the trials and tribulations of a man in his late 20s. I'm sure it'll all work out with time.

I am so much more productive and despite being completely isolated I still don't feel like I have enough time for myself even though I have few commitments. Sharing my life with someone else feels like living hell. I've never been more depressed than the 4 years I've been with my last gf even though the relationship was good. Sometimes I get calls from work and I literally just let them talk and don't respond at all, even though they probably think it's weird, and then, when I feel like it's been an eternity and my battery is drained I check the time and it's only been 3 minutes on the phone. It's not that I dislike people, I'm just not interested in them, not even my best friends or my family.

I was out at a bar with some friends who were talking to a couple of drunk girls, and I wasn't really involved in the conversation, and at some point they hinted that I must have a small dick. That’s when I realized that "big dick energy" really exists and that women form a mental image of you that has nothing to do with reality, it depends entirely on how they judge your appearance and behavior. In their eyes, a man who acts boldly, confidently and direct, perhaps even comes across as sexually forward or overly flirtatious, is someone who can back it up, who has a big dick and is a good lay. They really are that simple.

was gonna drive to this place today and try to hike up to the top of that pointy mountain tomorrow. then after an hour of driving I got an engine warning light, so I had to turn back home and schedule a repair, it's some fuel trim shit. feels kind of depressing as I've been doing these little summer hikes for half a decade now and this will be the first summer I miss it, and it comes at the same time as recent failings to switch jobs. but there's still a chance the hike can be done next week, or maybe even later in september.

Have to move to my new girl's apartment but I'm afraid to shit there.

I was one of those people who was crazy about having a girlfriend and being in a relationship. I was so naive that I thought it would make me happy as a person... to be honest I feel terrible and I would give anything to have my high school friends back to talk to in games and movies.

You might not need an accountant until tax season arrives. Just record all your stuff in quickbooks and then get an accountant to file taxes.

>>77491252
That's what I was thinking yeah. I'm already using Square for tracking payments, and most of what I buy is online anyway, so it's just a matter of tracking and compiling receipts. I'd much rather do it for free, especially until I start making good money.

>>77490985
I wonder how they would react if I printed out all my receipts and put them together scrapbook style. I could even get the little stickers and decor for the months.

What kind of business are you running, if you don't mind me asking? I've been looking into founding an LLC with my father doing ecommerce stuff, seems straightforward but you never know. Are you going the LLC route? Taking loans for inventory or just slow-funding it yourself?

I don't like living together. My ideal situation would be moving next door to each other, or maybe seperate wings in a mansion. I need my own space, for poops and otherwise

>>77491733
In my last relationship, the woman I was dating lived about a minute away from my house, and that was amazing. There are always phases when you see each other a bit too often and get annoyed or just need some time to yourself, and whenever we felt that way, one of us would simply go home. Since we could easily see each other whenever we wanted, we actually only spent time together when we were really looking forward to it. That basically eliminates all sources of friction. Besides, living in the same house but having your own private space isn’t a good alternative, because there’s no separation from the shared home. You're both at home, but you choose not to spend time together.. it's a similar concept, but it feels different. Anyway, after three years we moved in together, and that's when the nagging and arguments began. We spent more and more time in separate rooms, developed different daily routines, avoided each other at home, stopped going to bed together, had less sex, and so on, and eventually we drifted so far apart that we were just roommates, and we broke up.

Personal Training, so luckily I won't have to deal with keeping inventory or anything like that. I did go the LLC route, I used LegalZoom specifically, and it was easy enough. I am entirely self funded at the moment, but I was thinking of looking into small loans to help preserve what little savings I have.

>>77492173
Are you actually busy enough day to day that you can't go drive Uber in your spare time? Try not to float a loan for this. I know a lot of failed business owners, and they all bitch about their loans.

>>77492173
I see. Thanks, and good luck.

>>77492178
I was thinking about doing Doordash or something similar in between clients, seeing as it'll probably be a few months, if not more, before I get a full schedule. I'm also fortunate enough to still be working my current job (carpentry). With that said, that's enough for bills and groceries, but I may want more for my savings as well. I'll probably take your advice on the loans. I try to avoid debt as much as possible, but I have so little money to play with. It's gonna be a tough, slow start.

>>77492499
No problem, best of luck to you as well!

>>77491799
I somehow doubt that it was the act of moving in together that caused this schism to develop between the two of you. At best it could have catalyzed it somewhat. But cause it, nah.

>>77491799
Same thing happened in my last relationship. Things were wonderful when we saw each other a little during the week but spent the weekends together. Definitely went downhill when we started being together more. You've explained it perfectly

where's the screencap of the micropenis anon with the ripped body who conned women into sleeping with him & they did it because they pitied him + it was awkward to back out once he got them in bed naked with him

90% percent of the replies are about women holy fucking brutal this board really is a bunch of gymcels.

I don’t know who else to tell… but I’m probably gay. It started when I was young, sticking things up me arse, and it progressed to jerking off on Omegle with other dudes. I’ve never done anything directly with another dude, but I wank to the thought often. I’ve never seen a vagina.

So in the end, like my dad used to say, women are just black holes (heh) of energy and emotions, huh?

>>77493354
You might just be prison gay in a way. Satisfying your physical and emotional needs with a woman seems so thoroughly unrealistic to you that you resorted to other men out of a belief that it would be easier to sate your needs with them because of their lower standards.

its not news, I know I'm fat, but man it still kind of hurt. Its my own fault though.

I've always butted heads with my mom about fitness and being in shape because she gets very mad when I won't eat what she cooks, but she's finally doing some bullshit that she read online now too so I think this is my window to actually make some real changes. I wish I made more money because its tough to hit my macros on my budget but I might have to just tough it out for the time being. I'd rather be fit and broke than fat and still mostly broke. I'm slowly starting a home gym which will be great for consistency but I've got to actually build the equipment before I can use it. I'm going to tackle that tomorrow I think.

Real change is coming my way, I'm manifesting it. I am going to make it even if it kills me.

We're being punished for something.

Had my first roll of shame in I don't know how long. Was doing close grip bench with a thick grip add-on which slipped. At least I was able to slowly let the bar down to my chest.

What compels GFs and wives to try to sabotage the fitness efforts of their men rather than help them? I think every man would be very glad to help their partners with losing weight if they had some problems in that area because who wouldn't want to bang and be seen with a woman who has a fantastic body, so I don't really get why women wouldn't have the same attitude in the inverse situation.

Ignore what women say, listen to what they do. And everyone had doubts about what they're doing once in a while, she just sperged and told you about it. Don't necessarily hold it against her until it's evidenced in her behavior.

>>77492588
The thing is, you end up facing some negative aspects that you weren’t aware of before, because you were basically in the honeymoon phase the whole time. When you move in together, you have to share chores and adapt to each other’s habits much more than you had to before. For example, before we lived together, cooking or eating together, or going out to eat sometimes, wasn’t an everyday occurrence, but something we enjoyed doing together rather than viewing it as a chore. When we moved in together, my daily routine meant I always came home 1 or 2 hours later than she did, but there was never food on the table, and at best I could convince her to cook together. She also started complaining about all kinds of silly nonsense that only women complain about, for example, that I put my toiletries on a shelf in the bathroom because she’d decided it should be used only for decoration, even though there was no other space left. Or that I left a coffee mug on the kitchen counter because I use the same mug all day. Or that I left a phone charger plugged in. Or that I spend TOO MUCH of my own money on our groceries. She was pretty sloppy herself and was one of those women who don't make an effort to look good at home. She never acted that way when we weren't living together yet.

genuinely couldn't have done it without faith. I have no idea how people who are atheist can do it, or even protestants.
the technicality of beating off -> mortal sin -> not being in a state of grace -> not being able to receive Eucharist or go to heaven without confession was pretty big for me. if I was some protestant who could just roll over and be like "sorry for beating off Jesus thanks for forgiving me already" I wouldn't have been able to get past the 3-4 day mark. I got to that point without faith, but it still took many failures to get past with it.
also, coming here infrequently, turning off thumbnails here, filtering shitty threads, and really minding my thoughts/eyes was another big part of it.
I'm also exercising less now, so maybe I'm low test too.

How to you cope with the knowledge that it just does not exist within you to escape mediocrity? Even i spent the rest of my life forsaking joy in pursuit of greatness, the most i could achieve would be some middling form of accomplishment that pales in comparison to what an extraordinary person could do without even trying.

it's all bullshit. you just don't want to try. it's all rationalization and justification for you to continue to not do anything so that your ego doesn't get bruised when you inevitably fail, as all people do, but you somehow think that you're above that. all the "extraordinary people" that you claim don't have to try have failed more than you have even attempted.

I’ve been doing a routine I found on YouTube which sums up in a core and shoulder workout done in 30 minutes, 3 sets 40s holds with 20 seconds of rest.
The question I have is should I continue with hollow holds, pike holds, planks, side planks, negative pus ups yada yada or should I start incorporating chin ups and plyometric work?
If you have some exercises you recommend please share them
Note that since the main goal is application to martial arts (Muay Thai and kendo) I need to build a body that is strong but quick.

Fucking how? I am one of the least confident people I know. Despite objectively being above average in many aspects, but I fucking hate making mistakes, I hate not living up to who I think I could be, I hate that I'm not able to live up to my values. I avoid getting into discussions with people because I hate being proven wrong and I don't want to look like that guy who knows nothing but has an opinion on everything, and I try my best to be considerate of other people needs and feelings because I am a decent person.

Most normies by contrast, deserved or undeserved depends on the person, seem to think they themselves are great. I don't judge them for this, but I do envy them.

I am giving up on my friend. He's had this nebulous goal of a 315 bench press - I have a 410 bench press. I would totally coach him for free - if he let me. But no he wants to stick with this 1 page lifting diagram he found on a random Facebook fitness group. He does bench and then one accessory. His actual working reps all together is probably less then a dozen and that's being generous. He does a week fast every other month and insists it doesn't affect his lifts. I had to badger him for 2 months to watch a bench press video before he finally did. In 6 months his ORM only went up 10 pounds meanwhile his 3 and 5 rep maxes didn't go up at all. He still walks in though saying "Haha wouldn't it be cool to have a 315 bench press man I think it's cool, what if I could say that haha" and I'm like, "You could, but..." He just wants to do it his way, I get it. But his way is gay and stupid and won't get him where he wants. I think deep down he knows this but is too proud and stubborn to admit his whole routine which is based of a jpeg is wrong. Gimme a vodka, Reyka.

Well bro what u don't understand is that holding yourself to an invisible standard without enjoying being wrong and enjoying correction is a recipe to not be able to move or interact. You have an obsession with how people percieve you but don't worry that is normal. It's a consequence of being structured through language. The thing that works without any effort is meditation if u can work up to a consistent daily practice and eventually up to an hour a day in the midst of that the symbolic world that traps you will loosen its grip. Desire plus obsession leads to neurosis and a protecting of your fantasy if your fantasy comes into contact with reality aka the anime character you imagine yourself to be gets nullified by reality then you will shatter unless you realize the deep truth that it's a fantasy you constructed and thats not a bad thing. Fantasies are engines for movement, it's when you take them too seriously in that, you cannot take a risk and you are paralyzed you must paradoxically see your healthy desires to the end and enjoy anticipating the fantasy. But at the same time know the fantasy is not real and will never ever complete you. The void in you is a engine for movement it is filled when you are moving towards something you think will fully satisfy you. Once you get there the void returns and enjoyment collapses. Understand? If not its because i cannot explain it correctly but if u meditate you will no longer be trapped and paralysed

Not as a group but as an individual you have the power to exploit your way to the top. It's not hard actually it's just that most people are reasonable decent people and were sold several lies about things "promised" in our shared symbolic world such as a place to live a car and some children lol. But to really make money you can't have any weights tying you down you need to be single and focused as fuck. Nobody has time for that shit.

I got my shit figured out, I'm investing in a skill that just hops over all her bullshit and will make me a shit ton of money eventually. When her dumbass eventually loses everything I will just say "I literally don't care" and just move to my mom's house lol. It's that simple just stop caring let them burn themselves down. They are so stupid it's hilarious bro never take women seriously never try to control them the less u control or care the more they desire you. The more you care the more they cheat.

Had it from getting into a fight in highschool with a shoulder impact and partial tear. One thing that greatly helped was facepulls as it helps the infrinatus activate and help proper shoulder-joint spacing.

>don't feel like I deserve it but also trying to not wall her off completely
>last night got in my own head about her, how I'm bad at sex since I've only done it twice ever, insecure about my dick
>today got some more attention from her, she laughs at my stupid jokes
>felt really good but still feeling down about myself especially over my dick
>fuck it
>went to spencer's and got a pump that has measurements on the side
>put it in and let it rip, go as tight as I can get it without injuring myself
>gain almost a whole inch of dick
>if I lose weight and get rid of the fat around my legs and fupa this could be my regular everyday size
I started off being pessimistic but man this kind of has me hyped, holy shit I never imagined. I thought it was pseudoscience and snake oil peddlers trying to sell you nonsense but I might have a whole extra inch of fuckable dick in another year or two. Doesn't really help me that much in the meantime but it put some gas in the tank for my mental health so I guess I can't complain.

Ok now she has u so it's boring u didnt maintain desire you didn't escalate u didn't fuck her that's why. When she has u desire collapses. Desire lives in ambiguity invite her over for wine and cheese party aka to fuck

brother, saying you can't be a narcissist because you're insecure and that you hate yourself is a sign that you're a massive narcissist. that is like THE defining feature of a narcissist. you have a huge, fragile ego that cannot be damaged in any way without completely shattering, so you come up with layers upon layers of defense to shield yourself from your self image being hurt.

you gotta get over yourself. you talk a lot about the way you are seen, i.e. you can't be seen as a guy who doesn't know what you're talking about. the perception of what kind of person you are is more important to you than the reality of who you actually are. that is what's feeding your insecurity and lack of confidence. you put far too much weight on the way others view you to the point that everything you do is a performance with no substance. your actions lack substance because you lack the confidence to be authentic, because god forbid you reveal your true self or desires and someone else takes offense to it or dislikes that aspect of you. so, because you MUST be viewed positively no matter what since your ego demands it, you have to hide who you really are to appease everyone else, which further erodes your confidence since you're receiving positive feedback from these performative shallow interactions, which all feeds your ego and narcissistic tendencies.

true confidence, the kind you said you envy, comes from being unapologetically authentic about yourself, your wants, and your actions, whatever those may be, without regard of what others think or say about you. and that requires you acknowledging that some people will dislike or even hate you, as much as that hurts.

>33 yo khv with loose skin after dropping 200lbs
I spent my 20s trying to drink myself to death because my depression was so bad. I am on the other side of that now but dealing with the consequences. Depression isnt that bad anymore, been sober almost three years at this point. I really want nothing more than to find someone to grow old with, but I think I am just totally fucked.

Are zoomers completely fucked up? I'm a zoomer but I have no friends so not really sure the state of us, but I work in a factory that manufactures mechanical parts and all our new zoomer hires are fucked up. They're either lazy or retarded, usually both. Recently we had a guy who couldn't figure out how to microweld two wires together and he told me he's on the verge of breaking the machine out of anger and had to go ask the boss for an easier job, he lasted two weeks. Past guys would just go on their phones or literally sit there doing nothing for a noticeable amount of time.

I keep hearing from the other guys how I'm the only young guy with a work ethic but I don't really get it. I just show up on time and do what they tell me to. I don't bust my ass too hard, I take shits for ten minutes. The bar is super low and I don't know if I'm the normal one and every other zoomer is abnormal, or if it's the other way around. Obviously I'm not normal since I go on this website and never saw a vagina IRL, but they always say I'm one of the only young guys they can actually have conversations and joke around with. Like when the boomer puts a metal pipe on his crotch and asks to sword fight I think it's funny instead of getting offended.

>guy in front of her gets panties in a twist, 50 year old w/ fresh sleeve tattoo, taper fade haircut, linen button down like he thinks he’s a mob boss on vacation

>starts going slow on purpose
>start yawning because it’s 6am and I just woke up, guy takes offense
>undoes order with shit eating grin looks back at me and does it all again as if to show me
>comes back after he leaves and wide eyed looks down at me until I make eye contact then scurries off
>comes back again starts apologizing to the checkout monitor for other people’s impatience letting her know she’s doing a great job
I’m not the one who cared lmfao I have a 5 day weekend and all the time in the world if I cared that much I’d have gone to the cashier who had no one in their line. This isn’t so much about the guy thinking I was somehow the one being impatient when it was the old lady but more so just how incredibly petty and passive aggressive people are. Like yeah this guy was a bit of an outlier being 50+ having his midlife crisis probably has a chip on his shoulder from the divorce and recently started feeling normal test levels for the first time in decades but I still notice people acting like this in all sorts of ways

Yes and no. I don't play video games or watch TV or listen to new music or check out the newest films but also most people who do are faggots that I don't want anything to do with anyway.

Afraid to take a shit in my girl's place. I always clog the toilet. There's also a turd that I like to call the navy seal. Where you flush it down but it's still doing a peekaboo from the blow hole. She saw one of my special forces turds and said "flush twice if you have to". I also like to shit 2-3 times a gay because I have a healthy digestive tract. I don't want her to know me as the poop emperor.

Validation and fulfillment can only come from one source: YOU

Ask yourself what it is exactly that you get from her that you think you can't get anywhere else

Now ask yourself why you want that? What's really the reason you want that? Is it really something only she can give you?

The answer is no. She's just a person. Take her off the pedestal and go live your life, anon

Yep, extremely true and something I learned fast back in the day. The issue was the amount she texted me which maybe 1 out of 40 women of, to what she spoke of, and looking to the future. She agreed to both dates, texted me to re-schedule originally, then -boom- nada.
It's fucked up because I see women on apps and online/irl complain all the time about men being non-chalant, how the fuck am I supposed to keep coming back time after time after hundreds of interactions where the women don't give a shit, or realize I won't fuck them within 20 minutes and ghost?

Because the small 5% portion of men that she sees as potential mates, are the ones that ALL women chase as potential mates. So THAT guy has lots of options, the man who prepared her burger, or the guy who fixed her Wifi doesn't even register as a human, let alone a man. That's how women get this distorted idea about all men, because as they all hurry to join Chad's harem, Chad has zero reason to be loyal to any of them

That's not what I said. You need to get it FROM YOURSELF. Be complete and happy being single. Finding happiness and fulfillment in another person will always lead to heartbreak, even if it's not a break-up, because you can't expect someone else to be your source of happiness. That's selfish of you. Find your own fulfillment and a partner will simply make your life better, not complete it.

It's gonna be sad for a while but find other things to fill your time and be single. Gym, hobbies, friends. Alone time to think. Journal it out and improve yourself. Don't distract yourself by getting in the apps and finding a new girlfriend bc you'll end up right back here again when it goes sour. Get through the hard times now, and when you get to the other side, you will be much stronger.
Good luck anon

how do you not have enough money left at the end of the month despite living with your parents and working 40h a week? I am asking because I am in a similar situation for the past 10 years but instead of bitching and moaning I used the "opportunity" to invest my money(close to 250k saved up now). my hourly salary is below the median average here so dont give me excuses how your job doesnt pay you well. faggots like you make me sick because you have every opportunity in the world on top of being young and you still end up as a whining bitch.

>>77501321
Anon you're not making the right comparisons. She could be anyone who made it out there, be it gifted by silver spoon or someone with a natural talent. She used to play the piano normally and then later on realized there was a niche sexual market and developed that over time. They took a series of steps improving their future. So of course they have success. Meanwhile you are retrograde. You were stuck at a job not paying enough but where's your aspiration for the future?

>>77501327
I get what you mean anon. I came from a fucked up situation that I had to escape. I dont tell anyone I have ever met my childhood but might as well blab about it now. My parents were loving and took care of me, put they couldn't keep up with their health so high medical expenses money was always tight. This was reflected in the disrepair of my childhood home that left the sealing leaking in parts and the bathroom tiles destroyed. This along with poor garbage being dealt with living a life with roaches. I slept in my parents bed until I was maybe 8 or something and then my parents got me a couch in the living room. I lived like that while my brother repaired the roof and floor to a room and moved in there letting me move into his small hallway room. I lived like that until I could finish university and became a teacher knowing I just needed a secure job to upgrade my life. Over time I eventually saw my quality of life begin to dip and I made my move to China which has been great but my social life lately leaves a bit to be desired. Everyone I know has this profound gloominess and struggle and that's wearing me down

>>77488557
Not /fit/ but curious:

Has anyone else begun to hate more and more animals the older they get? When I was in First Grade in Catholic school I dressed as St. Francis of Assisi (saint of animals) during our saint's Halloween dress up day because I liked them that much. Now at 31 I'm realizing I've gotten much crueler.
>Had raccoon problems in the summer and would beat, kick, and mace them
>Immediately think of throwing poison over the fence of every person who's dog snarls and barks as I walk by. Could be a fucking chihuahua and IDC
>Over at girl's place and her cat pisses on the carpet. Think that if it was my cat I'd drive it 10 miles out of town on a country road and throw it out leaving it to fend for itself
>Absolutely despise bird nests and knock down any I see on my property. Eggs be damned. Chick's be damned. I'm not dealing with piles of bird shit and loud chirping.

I've noticed that any time these fuckers post their living conditions it's always absolute squalor of just trap house conditions or slightly better. Every single person I've met like this IRL always has a phase where they were a junkie/alcoholic along with several other fucked up stories. Almost always divorced with a 50/50 chance their kids don't talk to them/won't in the future.

Basically I think of some Facebook BoomerX who came here after he got banned there or saw us in some funny maymay as these are the only ones IRL that correlate to this type of behavior here.

I’ve been spinning my wheels for 3 months in the gym, making no progress. I’ve finally given up, I need to go down in weight :(

>>77501764
Define progress

>>77501780
I’ve been struggling with benching. I keep on trying to bench 245 but only get 2 or 3 reps. I can’t get 4

>>77501785
Oh that’s what you meant with going down with weight. Sounded like you talked about weight loss. What does your set structure look like? Warm up then the heavy set then quit or do you de-load and hammer out 5+ reps for another 1-2 after the heavy set?

>>77501791
I warm up then do 5 reps of 225, jump to 235, and then try 245

>>77501796
>>77501791
I then proceed to do 225 for 5 reps for a couple sets (2-3)

>>77501796
Drop the 225/235 to 3 reps to save some steam. Sounds like you’re just using the 2 sets to settle in with the weight anyway. You can always spam volume at lower weight afterwards.

>>77501815
Then I’ll follow your advice. After trying 245, I can just spam 225 for 5 reps

>>77501404
I don’t say this to be insulting but it sounds like you’re bitter because life has been cruel and inhumane to you so this picking on dumber and weaker things makes you feel in control and like you have some power. I could be wrong maybe you’re just a psychopath (unlikely because you admit to liking animals as a kid) but I only ever see people lose that empathetic love towards animals and start acting like you when they’re bitter and have a chip on their shoulder. Like this guy I knew named Jimmy. On paper his life was mostly great, in reality it was too. His only real issue was he was 5’2” and super sensitive about it. Life being mean to him was only occasional dumb bitches being cunts over his height. People liked and accepted him anyways most women were nice and accepting no close one attacked him for those things but he drove all his close friends away and started doing what you described to anything he thought was weaker than himself like retards, tweakers, shy people, people sad going through things, anyone he thought he could do it to and get away with, and certain small animals. Of course when it backlashes he cried victim after.
On the flip side we had Joey in our same group. Basically the same except he was no joke like proportional midget 4’8”. He got into fitness and lifting and was able to get laid often and have a successful happy and normal life. Bitches we’re still cunts to him but he would just laugh in their face and find a hotter bitch.
Obviously you could be a 6’5” chad for all I know but the point isn’t the height thing that’s just the specific examples I can give based on people I have known.
Life treats all people like shit. 99.9% of us anyways. It’s not something you’re alone in even if you don’t see it. Unironcially the things you described doing are nigger tier and it’s what jews want
