I'm in pretty good shape despite not being in a gym for over 2 months.
Been talking to a woman. I think she might end up being my next girlfriend, we'll see. I don't want to get myself worked up, but I also don't want to play it too aloof and have her lose interest. There are other women I'm interested in, too

I had a meltdown on the big boss last week. To make a long story short he randomly started micromanaging and nit picking things. I already had to work a 14 hour shift (was supposed to be 10, and apparently I’m not going to get paid for the extra 4) and the faggot wanted to tell me I couldn’t do various bullshit he was making up on the fly. For instance I use a tablet for some data entry, he randomly decided I wasn’t allowed to use it and it’s only for a certain title. I have always used that tablet for years now without issue. HE was the one who first gave it to me. He up and down insisted and swore that I must have been lying because it was never for me to use. No one else needed it btw. He expected me to do my bullshit work with pen and paper knowing even with the tablet I was going to be working late. Then he stopped me from walking the shortcut route to the other office said I had to go the long way. He kept doing this the whole day until I snapped and confronted him just constant petty rules whenever he could find something to make up and critique on. This dude has been out to get me fired since I started I remember coming back from the bathroom to him saying “yeah I’m gonna get him fired” when I was still training in my 3rd shift years ago. So I blew up on him and his rat shit assistant. The assistant was scared shitless because I’m tall and built fat like a smaller Brian Shaw and it’s terrifying to people when I get actually that upset he got ready for something physical. I called them both faggots and said what big boss was doing was bullshit. The bitch boy assistant had also given me that tablet hundreds of times and swore I was lying about ever having used it then wanted to laser on the topic of the tablet when my entire point was that if the big boss has a problem then he should fucking address it instead of using nonsensical made up rules that didn’t exist for the last 3 years. Idgaf if I get fired, theres a lawsuit waiting for them

>>77514528
>to make a long story short
>still maxed out a post
I’m clearly still mad about this. That big boss is the type of guy who walks around with his head down out of submission and a disingenuous smile. Just a real untrustworthy scumbag who knows he’s doing something wrong. No he isn’t autistic he’s genuinely just a bitch. I hope I can get the even higher ups to fire him so he has to explain to his children why they’re not getting a big Christmas this year. He’s done this micromanage shit forever and that day he chose it was the right day to go especially hard with it, and I’m not the only one who has this issue with him

Trust me I’m well aware and working on handling it. It’s very possible I’ll be compensated and then told to leave early tomorrow or to take a day off, then bitched at on Tuesday for not finishing work and being behind or how others had to pick up the slack. This is how shitty this guy is. He’s a DEI hire who wants me gone because I’m white and he wants to fill my role with another DEI. I’m one of 3 white employees and the only non white trash one. It’s a seriously fucked up situation and if I’m being honest my own fault for staying here for so long.

This is the last active social media without an algoritihm.
I genuinely believe that other social medias are evil and constantly show you negative shit on purpose to wear down your mental state. I deleted my accounts on everything else and only go here nowadays.

I don't even mind if the website is slower than it used to be because at least it's still real people posting and not bots or ai generated jeets like it is everywhere else.

I never had a girlfriend, so i thought i could give it a try and downloaded tinder. But i haven't gotten even a single like so far. I am not sure if it's because i am ugly or because maybe i am shadowbanned for some reason.

Unironcially just spam the movements with no bar or weight. Body weight squats, floor press, dumbbell rows etc. so long as your hand feels okay just do higher reps for like 1-2 sets a few days a week. Sounds retarded but the goal is to stay in a routine while you heal. You don’t need to feel sore or like you did any work as long as you were consistent. It’s the same as having an off day where you’re tired and feel sick and weak, you would still do what you could because something is better than nothing even if that something barely worked you out at all

Does it matter if ugly girls are into you? I was at a wedding dinner and a 30 year old hag (4/10 looks, not fat but ugly face) started a convo with me and she is about to get married next year and she was telling me her wild stories of her travelling and she was telling me a story about her Italian uber driver who was into her and wanted her but she didn't do anything because of her fiance, and i told her:

I hooked up with my FWB this weekend. She's a chubby 6.5/10 that does the kinks I like but outsid eof that there's no way I'd ever take her seriously. This past weekend we got on the subject of celecrity crushes and I say Sophia Lillis, Keira Knightly, Lucy Liu, etc. After I told her this she got very insecure and was asking why I was fucking a girl like her. And after thinking on it, my answer (that I didn't say to her) is that I have no other choice.

I live in fucking Muttmerica where 75% of our population is overweight and ~50% are obese. Meaning 3/4 women are fat at the minimum and every other woman is a blob. To make matters worse I live in the fucking Midwest where EVERYONE is fat by 25. You tell me where I'm suppose to find a skinny, in shape girl like my crushes.

Even funnier is that I went over to an aunt's place and they were looking at old photos from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. OH MY FUCKING GOD. A 6.5/10 back then is like a 9/10 now.

It matters but not to any meaningful degree once it’s happened multiple times. It means you look better than other guys. Most men have never had a woman approach or hit on them or initiate. So there’s that. But then the other side is they’re ugly and women are overrated anyways. Like once you learn that women don’t love unconditionally and that it’s better to just find one you like who likes you who compliments your life well is the day you’re free from them. They can’t offer us the one thing we actually want from them that’s valuable.
>your post
I’m going to explain your reality to you. You probably don’t get much pussy, and so you’re A.) entertaining the idea of an ugly woman and B.) feeling like you’re hot shit for being able to potentially take some other dudes wife. The way your mind sees it is “WOWZERS golly this sort of thing never happens I must have leveled up”
On the other side she’s no better. She’s desperate, and so settled with some poor shmuck who isn’t dissimilar from you. The idea of fucking other men makes her feel pretty and desirable. Do not feed into the delusions, this is why every 6/10 and below believes they deserve some 6’5” trust fund chad. Unironically because of desperate guys
This is a really bad look like unironically on tier with Conner Murphy level of doings. It’s pathetic. Don’t put yourself in that position out of desperation. The reward is some probably bad ugly bitch pussy and some bad post nut clarity and the risk is you don’t know what desperate loser she’s with or how little he has to lose.

He’s black. Not the normal person kind of black, not ghetto trash but the kind of migrant who desperately wants to be accepted by ghetto trash black Americans. Like conducts himself mostly professionally but then does stuff like I described while turning constant blind eyes to the employees he actually likes. He’s best described as a jackass I guess. Seems very incapable in every way from his job to just in general as a man.

>The fact that you are fucking some rando just to get your dick wet means you are also damaged goods and a girl will be settling for you, too.
Fuck off, tradlarp. Settled goods or not, college, HS, sports or not, this fucking country is full of fatties now. You might as well be saying you can pay entirely for college with a summer job. Even in HS and college there were a large amount of fatties. Even IF you marry your HS sweetheart there's a great chance she gets fat as well. I know plenty of people like that who were in great shape, married at like 21, but ballooned up by 25.

You're gonna be fighting an uphill battle. These fucking niggers are just as useless as the average nog but preach about "muh hardwork" like some fucking Boomer. Rules for thee but not for me kinda shit. The fact that he is trying to be a ghetto nig tells me everything that comes out of his mouth is horseshit and he'd throw you and anyone under the bus for street cred or a free pack of Newports.

Document everything. Record conversations if need be.

>>77514950
He doesn’t try to be ghetto he just desperately wants their approval even though that isn’t him but it’s funny because he also thinks he’s better than them anyways. You can tell he has the capacity or potential to be a normal person if he wasn’t such a useless idiot. There’s actually normal black people (as in not ghetto and not desperate for ghetto trash approval) who should be the ones doing his job. I don’t like this guy though and I hope he just fucks off and lets me do my job without being a cock gargling bitch.
Bottom line is I’d be a lot happier in a new job. Did some applications today, caught a few massive critical errors on my resume I somehow missed and realized maybe that’s why the job search has been so gay. Hopefully it changes now. Missed a great opportunity because I didn’t update my resume fast enough last week but there’s sure to be more.

>Most men have never had a woman approach or hit on them or initiate.
Well I'm 34 and i can confidently say that it didn't happen more than 20 times since my 20's but it's rare in general for a woman to actively hit on you.

>You probably don’t get much pussy
To be honest I'm on a dryspell since 2025 but I do practice Orthodox Christianity and I'm doing SR pretty much since 2024 with a few relapses here and there, i was actively looking for a wife and I was about to marry last year but things didn't work out. In the last 3 weeks I managed to get a date with a 22 year old who seemed really interested during the date but the lack of dates really cost me because i wasn't locked in made her ghost me. I have some mires here and there at the gym but i always suck at closing, i have to be more assertive on getting dates. So yeah i don't get much pussy

>A.) entertaining the idea of an ugly woman
No

>B.) feeling like you’re hot shit for being able to potentially take some other dudes wife. The way your mind sees it is “WOWZERS golly this sort of thing never happens I must have leveled up”
Hell no, i'm not fucking her

>The reward is some probably bad ugly bitch pussy and some bad post nut clarity and the risk is you don’t know what desperate loser she’s with or how little he has to lose.
Here is the catch, i was with my business partner at the wedding who is 5'4 and he is in /r/deadbedroom situation and he was unironically hitting on her, i was of course not giving a fuck because she is ugly as hell, and the less i talked and cared, for some reason the more she was into me, it was really weird. Anyway she asked me for my phone number but ofc i'm not gonna answer the phone. My coworker knew she was ugly as well but for some reason he had a crush on her.

>>77514945
very good take that puts things into perspective, the only problem is deep down it doesn't count because is not the woman you wanna date.

always take it as a compliment regardless of if you find them attractive.
i DO remember the women who have approached me / flirted with me that i didnt find attractive because it was still a nice feeling of being desired and it helps you build your social skills for rejecting them and not hurting their feelings (if you arent a sociopath).

Asked my mom last week if she had any inheritance money she could put in my retirement account for just a one time transfer. I never once asked her for money since I moved out at 21 which was 8 years ago so I knew it was a gamble. She blew up at me and we had a huge argument for an hour

I'm doing great financially but after this I feel like I don't owe my parents any financial help in the future even when I become a millionaire

Got rejected after three rounds for a life changing position that I thought I was a shoo-in for. Networked and had good correspondence with some people at the firm, even had a couple one-on-ones with the managing partner there. Made it through a screening, first round, and in the second round they were even asking me questions that sounded more like onboarding than a standard interview.

I try not to get my hopes up on things like this, but it hurts bros. Gonna hit pull and contemplate life tonight.

I just started running again and I'm really excited. It always makes me feel nice to be exercising, and I'm signing up for a Tureky Trot 5k with my wife so I have something to look forward to. I'm trying to take better care of myself but it just seems like I'm getting more random aches and pains everyday

I just turned 40 so Im thinking about talking to a doctor about TRT but I'm terrified desu

My job is really wearing me down. Im running a small branch and we're expanding so fucking fast, but the main office isn't really offering any help and they keep giving me shitty brown employees who hate working and won't stop fucking up. I love my company and the work that we do but I just feel like Im drowning and it keeps getting worse.

I was told all my life to be as helpful as possible. Offer support, advice, resoueces, to do nice things for others, to let them know if I'm worried about them and why. But this week I had some pretty outspoken "DO NOT FUCKING HELP DO NOT FUCKING TELL ME WHAT TO DO YOU DONT KNOW WHATS GOOD FOR ME OR NOT" and others that let me know its NOT good to help/advise, they have to do it/figure it out themselves. I realize now why I actually have so few friends. I'm an overbearing control freak. I dont know how to rebuild any kind of relationships and tell them I swear I won't involve myself in their lives anymore, and frankly I realize I dont know how.
When someone tells you about a shitty event going on in their life, how do you respond? I try to say i understand that shit sucks, and offer ways to make it less shitty (no, I dont evangelize). How do i stop doing that?

>>77515406
Sometimes people just want to vent and talk out frustrations and are not actively seeking help. One of the best things to do is share equally shitty events, misery loves company. But don't try and big fish the other guy.
If they directly asks for help, sure go for it. Or ask, do you want my two cents? They'll probably just say, nah, I'm just bitching.

Would you like the actual advice? It's two-fold: Most seek to be understood, not helped. Just, rephrase the problem(as you'll see I have mostly done here) and then let them talk until they've calmed down. If you must must must give advice, it will rarely be taken and possibly resented if you don't directly ask something like: "Would you like my advice on this?" and take 'no' if it's given. "Just play defense and the other person will level up."

Some folks gotta stick their dick in the deep fryer to make sure that it's hot. I've even done the same with awful women with everyone telling me I was making a mistake. All you can really do is wait for it to blow up and be there after. Your sorta friend is gunna need a gym buddy after.
But you are kinda making it your business and getting lambasted for it. Fuck that, they don't want to hear it, let them make their choice.

Yea, it's sucks to be a bystander for something like this. But you know, and the bros know, it's gonna blow up in his face. He needs it. And he will learn from his mistakes and the prodigal bro will seek your forgiveness or he be a little butthurt bitch and blame you all for not doing something and it'll be easy to cut sling load and let him drown in his own self pity.

Good shit. Thank you Sir, needed this

>still live with my parents in my 30s because im a complete fucking loser
>every year they go on vacation for a week or two, they are coming back tomorrow after a week off
>get to see what it would be like living alone (because god knows i will never have a girlfriend or wife or kids or any family anyway) if i was to get an apartment or something else i cannot afford
>just wake up alone, go to my daily routine alone, come home alone, cook and eat alone, go to bed alone, every single day

it isnt like when my parents are home were doing stuff together, always talking, etc. i barely speak to them anyway. but its really shown me how no matter how lonely i am now, if im still alive when my parents die, the loneliness is going to be incomprehensible.

He was very upset about it, he took it that im involving our friends and calling him a retard that needs his daddy to screen his girls, he's the type that won't want to come back even if/when it blows up in his face. Hes done also with the other guy who said he knew just how grim the situation was, and said we're blowing it up and pitching his confidence in us to the wind (he called us gossip girl rats, "this is bitch activities")

>>77515449
Yeah. I probably shouldn't have, but laying down in the sauna helped. My body isn't used to eating so much and lifting so heavy. The worst CNS responses I get are all from PRs. When I first tried deadlifts seriously, I felt like my blood sugar was low, that I was covered in ice, and that my body was made of straw. Thanks.

I relatively recently turned 30, and I'm by no means impressive. I'm more physically fit than average, is all. It's hard enough justifying working out when it doesn't make me money. I've just kind of accepted I'm fucked, gonna die poor and antisocial. Got a few too many screws loose, I guess. Thanks for trying.

So whoever called me narcissist last thread, while I don't like self diagnosing, I think you might be correct. I will be making efforts to notice when I'm avoiding being myself to protect my self esteem.

>>77515900
Good step, anon. A good trick is to find people you genuinely care about more than yourself and instead of going "me, me, me" for a day to go "how can I help that person or make them happier".

God, I love the part of the relationship that's slightly past the initial infatuation, but before you start hating each other. This magical place where you're learning more about one another, you do both really cool things but also super simple ones like cooking a meal together.

>>77515912
I didn't have that issue, mostly crippling insecurity, anxiety, and filtering everything through a lens of how it makes me look to other people. I have actually always feared looking like I'm "using" people for social opportunities (because I did a lot of that before people called me out on it). But I guess there is nothing wrong with just being "drinking buddies" so to speak with people, it doesn't always need to be a deep personal connection or nothing. And yes I do have people I care about more than myself.

>>77515930
Spoiler alert, nobody cares enough to make judgements unless you're actively a cunt or a jeet.

You asked for an early inheritance? Dude, that money isn't yours until they die. We should all be so fortunate as to have parents that understand the concept of generational wealth, provide assistance to their children even if it's unneeded because that's how people get ahead, and makebsure there will be something left over when they're gone for their loved ones. But you don't get to talk about inheritance until after they die. That's their money, and if you don't keep your mouth shut you won't get any of it.

Probably just got yourself written out of the will.

I'm the executor of her will. She has nearly seven figures (half of which will be mine sitting in mutual funds). I asked her if she could move 25k into my Roth IRA just so I can have it grow in the account until I retire in 17 years. I never asked her for money once before and she barely even used the college fund she set aside for me since I left Uni after a year. I understand in retrospect that it might've not been the right move but at the same time I'm kinda spiteful that I never got any help when I moved out to the point where I feel like I don't owe anybody anything in terms of money.

I guess it feels more rewarding to know you made it without any help

>>77516026

Kind of the same deal for me, except there's an extra zero on all the numbers. I grew up dirt-ass poor, told no we don't have money for that all my life. I got $1000 cash for college, total. Dad found his thing and got his shit together after I went out into the world, and now there's numbers like $5 to $10 million getting thrown around.

He also worked 80+ hour weeks for decades to build his successful business. That's his money, ya know? I'll be grateful if I see any if it eventually, but none of it is real to me until I see it in my bank account. What's actually going to happen is he'll sell and retire soon, die of boredom having never really enjoyed what he finally earned because that's what people like him do, and then mom will waste all of it on whatever the fuck she wants and steadily rising medical expenses as she gets back on the sauce and spends 2 decades attempting but failing to follow him into the dirt.

When he sells I'm going to hit them for money for the kids' college. One time, not even for myself, and then never again. If I get anything in the end it'll be a pleasant surprise.

They recently did their will. I'm talking, until they were both in their 70s their will was a sheet of notebook paper with a single sentence saying that I had to deal with everything when they died. At the time they wrote that there was only debt to inherit anyway. Found out because they asked me if I'd be executor, and I was kind of like, haven't I always been?

They told me all about how I should really do my will, too. I've got teenagers. Had my will done 15 years ago.

Anyway, this turned into me bitching. It sucks, because the money's there and it sure would be nice if they'd share, to the point where it could change the rest of our lives (especially my siblings), but they don't owe it to us. They should, and I'll be propping my own kids up their whole lives because that's how they get ahead in life. But yeah, inheritance isn't real until it is.

>>77516065

>They should

Are YOU on the autism spectrum?

>>77516066
No, just annoyed when they talk about thingd like spending more on their driveway than we've got saved for my kids' college, having never offered a single dollar to me since that $1000 when I was 18. And we're talking 6 digit numbers here.

>>77516066

How can i work weed out of my system reliably and quickly? I wanna apply for a job that drug tests, I only get high on weekends but I've been on a slight bulk which means ive stored fat... shoukd i just quit smoking entirely then go in a rapid suicide cut with intense cardio to sweat it out?

Don't get roped into other people's drama especially if it is serious. Just ask questions to get them to elaborate. Fuck it whether it's an appropriate questions. People solve, and often act, on their problems if they themselves feel like they came up with the solution. Asking questions makes this possible. If you know you are talking to someone with little self-awareness you can guide them wherever with just questions.

If you have a chronic complainer/bitcher or someone who just downright will not change their ways (especially if they acknowledge their problematic ways) drop that fucker immediately. They just want sympathy points that make them feel that no matter what they do, it's never their fault. Like a fat fuck who always complains about shit that could be solved losing weight.

>>77515444
Sounds like an utter retard. You want this fucktard around if you get into a major accident that requires immediate medical attention? No you don't. Dude is a simp. Simps will stab you in the back for any chance at pussy. Don't offer him a counselor or soft shit. Get real and raw with him and if he spergs out step back and let him dig his own grave. No different than a friend that decides to do hard drugs. You'll notice him change for the worse and at some point it'll be time to cut him off.
RIP, lil simpy.

I eat out a lot is there a guide somewhere to focus on what foods to eat like a rough calories/carbs/fat for resturants? even if it's fast food related? fuck man the whole cooking for yourself and then counting every single calories is annoying to me. money isn't too much an issue.

my mental problems are getting out of control, but I'm running a lot more and lifting still

boss told me in private he is going going through a divorce right now. he and his now ex-wife used to own the company I work for 50/50. now I dont know whats going to happen we are small with just a handful of people I worked here for the past 10 years. I dont want to find something new, this shit affects me as well. fucking bitch nigger wife.

>>77516433
Protip: ANYONE who tells you they are divorced is a piece of human shit. Watch your back. He will fuck you over for shekels

>>77516439
he is literally the ceo, how is going to fuck me over? if anything it was honorable of him telling me since now I can prepare for the worst. he probably just ends up being depressed and closes the company down. he has 4 children with here and they were together for the past 20 years. instead of talking and saying anything she just pulled out the attorney card out of nowhere. I believe she still owns 50% of the company but not sure.

>>77516446
His divorce ought to be a private matter unless it really is that damaging to the company. I have never met someone who told me unprovoked that they got divorced who seemed like they were completely innocent. At some point I would alway find myself going, "Yeah, I can see now why you got divorced. He/She might be a fucker but you ain't any better."

>>77514337
I have nowhere else to go. Everyone my age is on Instagram and TikTok and I don't care for either.

I know you are guys and probably bad at this but I don't want to ask my friends. It is both too unserious and serious to talk about.
I have, like many, a crush. The point is, is there harm in indulging in small daydreams every now and then or should I force myself to image him with a partner and shut it out of my mind? I'm too busy to become really obsessive and sad and the thoughts are comforting, but I know it's unhealthy.

For anyone struggling with frens or social life. Find a sport to become interested in then attend games!
Myself I was never really into sports, just vidya and lifting.
The gym isn't a place to make friends unless you're in an old school basement or PL gym and even then it isn't ideal, people are either too focsed on the task at hand or too self concious n tryna mog others like lemmings.

At sports bars or arenas however, people are fucking passionate and truly let loose whilst sharing a common interest that opens the door to conversation.
Fuck I had a crazy 28 year old fren who did a fucktok of gear n drugs, he eventually broke out of his mold and became a football hooligan, it lead him to belarus where he met some dudes got an apartment n started dating models SHIT WAS CASH.

Nah it's over, I went to a date last week with a girl (who had the dog if you scroll up) and I was going to see her today after a week or so but she cancelled telling me that she had period and we can talk over phone but she did end up going to the dog park. It's over

>>77514286
I cold approached a girl who was walking her dog and the dog ended up being from a shelter and she wanted to give him away. We went for a walk with her and the dog a few days later. Obviously i liked her and we were walking for a few hours and the girl asked me if i wanna continue the talk at a coffee shop or something. I left the dog at her place and we went for a coffee and driving around the town. We had good chemistry and same music taste and vidya taste and overall it was 8/10 experience. Then i left her at her house and when i called her 2 days later she was with a friend and we talked for like a min, then we didn't talk for 2 days and she sent me a pic of the place i work and told me she was passing buy.

Then we scheduled for seeing her today and she cancelled last min telling me to go for a coffee in a few days or so because she had her period and if we can talk over the phone today. And when I called her she was literally at the dog park so the period wasn't an issue and she was just avoidant. It's pretty much over. Maybe it's the age gap? I'm 33 she is 23

Just to update on >>77514528
That boss and his assistant apparently have nitpicked my work when I’ve gone home for the past week and have been trying to say I made a bunch of mistakes. It’s just plain untrue and they’re apparently trying to contact or already have contacted a regional corporate department lead over everything. No clue if I’ll have to interact with her, she generally only comes to wings to talk to people who are severely fucking up whether it’s being overly behind on work (a non issue for me) or it’s just plain not doing the job right. 50% of it is data entry you’d have to try to mess it up it’s literally the square block goes in the square hole tier with occasional basic addition and multiplication. They’re also mad that since last week I have stopped doing other people’s work and shit that isn’t in my job title. These retards had it good with me, they did this, and already are seeing why it was a bad idea, and now rather than have an ounce of accountability they’re doubling down like dipshits. If I have to meet with her and she doesn’t have my back on this then I’m furthering my legal action route hopefully to obtain a harassment settlement that will keep me on my feet for the next 12 months.
Other than that, if it comes to me leaving this job with nothing else lined up and the legal route doesn’t workout I may go and join the military and grind out a 4 year contract. Don’t wanna go be a goy but I figure some non combat job that sends me to another country for a few years where all I do is work and lift on base wouldn’t be all that bad, maybe even have a whole new marketable skillset after.
