that is wrong too
men start their sentences with the content
you don't say "I think that it's going to rain"
you say "It's going to rain"
Prefacing a statement with "I feel" communicates an intuitive thought. That doesn't mean it is not a valuable insight. Only that you have not applied enough conscious thought to the idea to be confident in its validity. Certain personality types often use this kind of vague language because they are acutely aware that just about anything they know or think is very likely wrong to a certain degree.
When women do it, it is different because their feelings are their truth.

I am aware of the dynamic, and I consciously monitor and replace all the "I think" with "I feel" in my speech, to appear more feminine. I am a natural thinker, and I come off to other people as callous and rigid. The moment I have changed my speech patterns I have become more likable to other people, no need to intimidate them for whatever reason. Still the mask slips off from time to time, I just try to act cool afterwards as if nothing happen, but I can see on their faces that they felt that something was off.
Eliminate "I feel".
Eliminate "I think".
No need for useless verbal prefaces to your sentences that only cast doubt.
i've started doing this in work conversations. go through what you wrote and if something like "i think" or "it seems" or "i feel" or even phrases to do with size like "a bit" or kind of" crops up just delete it. only say "it is" or "it will"
instead of >i think that john will improve his productivity if we start making him work over his lunch break
say >make john work over his lunch break. his productivity will improve
>all of your masculinity hinges on every little word you say
What are the odds this guy has a fat cow of a wife and other embarrassing shit on his twitter?
it's to combat spergs and people that are overly literal in their interpretation of speech, or looking to commit contextomy. Once you move the conversation to "I feel" you're dealing with a scenario made entirely out of abstracts that they can't deal with effectively without having some kind of tantrum. They being defensive yes, but they're also setting a trap.

fuark, literally me. I'm aware it sounds softer but who cares?
being extremely insecure is kind of a requirement to be a masculinity guru. They have constantly be appraising their own behavior and other people's behavior and then saying don't do x because it seems effeminate and like an endless game of whack of mole you alleviate one thing then it causes another to pop up from the counter reaction. Example the soi beard thing 10 years ago men in their mid 20's have masculinity crisis all grow beards, not the beard becomes a totem of effeminate men because all the effeminate men have one. Then shaving becomes the masculine thing again, then beards, then shaving. If you're a insecure male who wants to appear masculine you're in a constant race to to get the new thing before it becomes soi and you have to move to the next thing. Very much like women and fashion it's the same thing, consumerism for men. If you've ever seen a men's health it's not much different from cosmo except for the razor ads. It's been going on for a real long time.
nah, there's very few people in society that can have that kind of personal agency and can be successful simultaneously. A large amount of "buying in" or "selling out" is essentially demanded to participate so you have an initial filter for rugged individualist (sigmas). But society still praises rugged individualist so you have a lot of ton of people pretending to be them or think they are them but aren't. To ask them admit they're not is practically an identity crisis because they've told themselves for so long they're not a brad or whatever just a sigma. The whole disparity of attraction between the sexes is pretty close to reality and grades on a curve and 90% of people have to cope with being "adequate" but not desirable so there's always going to be a large amount of sexually unfulfilled men looking for a way be [insert pussy slaying individualist anti-hero]
I do it seated which I hear is harder but in any case it's by far my worst lift. I made it to 100 5x5 once upon a time but that was fucking brutal.
1/2/3/4 seems totally doable to me except for the 1. I just do not progress on this fucking horrible lift.
"I feel like" is also used when what you perceive isn't congruent with what you believe. You can feel about something in a negative way even when you think that it's good.
Dyel here, I failed on my last set of 37.5kg yesterday.
I just don't get why I can't do OHP, all of my other lifts increase just fine. I think my form and mobility are completely fucked.
Autistic image. If I'm talking about something I feel obviously I'm gonna say I feel like. If I'm talking about something I think then I'm gonna say I think that.

>A man is the opposite of a woman therefore I should have a big manly beard and be bald, this also means I should never do what a woman does and thus I should kill myself
as should you op
I used to just make assertive statements that I *believed* were objectively true, but I got in trouble for it at my last workplace because I came off as a pompous dick
I was told to preface my statements with “I feel like” or “I think that”, the two are not interchangeable. “I feel like women get treated better at work” is different than “I think women get treated better at work”. And the responses you receive will be different from these two statements
feeling the need to nitpick inconsequential shit like this is feminine behavior. then again this is the bread and butter of IST users. faux masculinity coupled with arguing on the internet about shit that doesn't matter.
>I feel like I'm about to shit myself
gets replaced by >I think that I'm about to shit myself
One is saying they're sick and probably ate something bad
one can't control his bowel
>emotions are only for women
Don't be over emotional gays but anyone saying "have no emotions at all because that's what women do" is the biggest gay of all.
My best OHP is 180 at 175 bw. I say "I feel like" whenever the situation calls for it. It can be interchanged with "I think" or "I perceive" or whatever other word fits the context pretty easily. Belief is completely intertwined with both the heart and mind, and anyone making too hard of an attempt to eliminate any reference to emotion from their speech or being is a gay LARPer trying hard to be their perceived idea of a man. It's the same mental pathway that trans people use to make themselves feel like whatever gender they are pretending to be. What self respecting person cares anyways?
The "I feel like" opening is taught in fields of patient care since it's a non-hostile approach to difficult subjects. It's non-confrontational. While it may traditionally have a feminine aspect, you'll see it used commonly among psych professionals, therapists, nurses, etc. It's encouraged to use it as a way of handling difficult people with kiddie gloves, so to speak.
the best way to identify a soft male is to check whether they have a twitter account with a blue checkmark and an attention seeking picture. Richard Cooper is so soft you could wipe your ass with him.
You're only allowed to say that if you actually know what you're talking about. If you're speculating you should say "I speculate" and "I think" is fine as well. The difference is if you can't choose between different theories that makes you weak. How you say it isn't the end all be all, it's if your words match your actions. There's no problem with saying "I think" or "I feel" the problem is if you "think" or "feel" and you're not posing it for discussion to gather more evidence and act completely off of your gut, or you say it for a presupposed decision, e.g. being passive aggressive. Being a good communicator isnt about dominance its about leadership, you have to acknowledge that you are not the best at absolutely everything and thats why you hire others or have friends. I don't think IST can be taken seriously at all for their charisma/speech though.
I think people that take advice from retards on twitter are losers.
Normally 3x8-10 at 90 lbs
"I feel like"..... wait no
I think that shit
Eliminate "I feel".
Eliminate "I think".
No need for useless verbal prefaces to your sentences that only cast doubt.
This. I state even my most loosely-considered and far-reaching speculations as unassailable facts.
How to spot a basedboy in three words, if they start a sentence with, “I think that”.
Sissy boys and chuds say “I think”
Men are manipulative and should ALWAYS gaslight
Eliminate “I think that” and replace it with “I know for a fact”
i've started doing this in work conversations. go through what you wrote and if something like "i think" or "it seems" or "i feel" or even phrases to do with size like "a bit" or kind of" crops up just delete it. only say "it is" or "it will"
instead of
>i think that john will improve his productivity if we start making him work over his lunch break
say
>make john work over his lunch break. his productivity will improve
i always say "i feel" or "i think" so nobody can complain if whatever i say is completely wrong
i hit 135 for a single the other day, been lifting since september
was my main goal
i started barely able to do 60
>all of your masculinity hinges on every little word you say
What are the odds this guy has a fat cow of a wife and other embarrassing shit on his twitter?
no, he sells online masculinity courses and was previously married to two different single mothers before he ended up getting divorce-raped twice
sounds like the last person you should be taking advice from
And how did that make you think that?
Hes single and pays to take used up single mothers on dates.
65kg for 5. Last rep was a fucking grinder though.
isn't that he guy who is a literal cuck? Why would anybody listen to his advice?
No, that Jack Murphy real name John ~~*Goldman*~~

fuark, literally me. I'm aware it sounds softer but who cares?
unironically this
"I feel like" is peak manipulation in terms of statement framing and allows you to pivot a "debate" into any avenue of your choosing
that is wrong too
men start their sentences with the content
you don't say "I think that it's going to rain"
you say "It's going to rain"
anyone who knows anything knows that this is the truth
what if it doesnt rain. now "you are a retard"
Masculine men don't care about how they open a sentence, this shit is retarded. Masculinity gurus have to be the least masculine people out there tbh

They have constantly be appraising their own behavior and other people's behavior and then saying don't do x because it seems effeminate and like an endless game of whack of mole you alleviate one thing then it causes another to pop up from the counter reaction.

What makes me wonder is how the hell is this even a thing? Surely people would catch on to the bullshit at some point?
You'd think so, but once you start believing this shit you get sucked in. Not different from any other cult dynamics.

I think that you're a gay for typing so much.
men have feelings and they're allowed to have them
fat dyel here. I was doing 110lbs for 4x8, but I have been doing BTN press recently.
I do it seated which I hear is harder but in any case it's by far my worst lift. I made it to 100 5x5 once upon a time but that was fucking brutal.
1/2/3/4 seems totally doable to me except for the 1. I just do not progress on this fucking horrible lift.
I just recently hit 150lbs for 3. I weigh 165lbs at 5'9". I am pretty proud of myself.
>I feel like blasting a whore with my seed
I don't see how this could be interpreted as feminine.
Unironically nothing screams "soft male" more than twitter sigmas.
50 kg for 1 rep
>I'm a masculine man
>I'm going to control your speech
lol
lmao even
I say I feel sometimes because it’s funny and makes balding manlet alpha tubers mad
85kg strict no back bending
Feel like that's decent
most ive ever done is 2pl8s for one but now i can do 70kg 3x10 which honestly isnt probably too far off

I just don't get why I can't do OHP, all of my other lifts increase just fine. I think my form and mobility are completely fucked.
i hit my all time PR of 85kg yesterday which is just over my bodyweight 84
I replaced OHP with the shoulder press machine because I'm a moron
52.5kg for 5 reps
Goal is 60kg for 3 by eoy i think that should be attainable
Autistic image. If I'm talking about something I feel obviously I'm gonna say I feel like. If I'm talking about something I think then I'm gonna say I think that.
Will people ever tire of mongoloid grifters making dumb ass claims over social media all day?

Let me guess he has a guy and is 5'5? I feel like this guy should kill himself.

You can spot a man with no self confidence a mile away, pic related, hes on twitter

as should you op

"I feel like shit" indicates a soft male?
It should be "I am shit"
>not stating your opinions as though they were indisputable fact
Being proud of your ignorance is a moron trait
Who said anything about that? I said state as though it were, that doesn't mean you have to actually believe it
real man just say things without any set up
btw, the worse setup is saying "realistically" before giving an opinion or asking a question
>I feel like I'm about to shit myself
gets replaced by
>I think that I'm about to shit myself
One is saying they're sick and probably ate something bad
one can't control his bowel

Both are beta male phrases. You as a man should say it as a factual. "This is" irrelevant if it's right or wrong.

i feel like that's gay and i think psychology is for fags lol
That's plain wrong. Look into "kinesthetic learners". There's two other types: "visual" and "auditory".
Kinesthesic learners are the best at sex and sports and they are most likely to start sentences with "I feel like" and using the word "feel" a lot.
Weaker. Before I could do reps with 40 kg, now I do half of that.
