I lift for them. 2 boys and a girl. Beautiful wife. I'm losing weight and getting fit. Making good money. Have a nice little circle of friends and I'm learning how to do other stuff like hunt and fish and cook. I've made it.
Not rubbing it in your face but just encouraging you all. I'm pretty retarded so if I can make it you can too. WAGMI
I'm happy to hear this is still possible.
Pathetic. And not fitness related.
Getting fit isn’t fitness related?
Yes but your family and financial situation or hobbies isn't.
IMO if your life was so good you wouldn't have the need to come brag about it on IST.
Just because it's normal for IST boards to be full of off topic threads doesn't make it not off topic. But that is the nature of a site that doesn't require making an account.
You sound new yourself if you think blogposting is on topic.
Just wanted to spread happiness and encourage others bro
My life is good and I like to brag about it on IST. Makes doomers seethe which makes my life even better
>Sage in the name field
Hello newfriend
OP is based. My 6 day old son is napping on my chest right now, and I just finished leg day in my home gym.
>>Sage in the name field
>Hello newfriend
into the pit he goes
rules are rules, no exceptions
Ok. I'm going to die alone and a virgin.
I'm glad for you anon.
Enjoy while it lasts, after a while she will get bored and divorce you, then she will get a new bf who will probably abuse your kids.
If you are lucky you will get a 50/50 arrangement and be able to see them a lot.
Your daughter will then grow up to be a whore and have daddy issues.
One of your kids will be a chud or other lgbt member.
The other one will be an incel.
You should just run away now while you can and move to thailand.
shoo shoo demoralizing chud
Women will be sloots no matter what yes (there is nothing more cucked etc.) but you gotta really fuck up to have your son become a homo or a chud. The smallest amount of masculinity and leading by example will prevent that.
>One of your kids will be a chud or other lgbt member.
False, if my kids comes out as LGBTQ there will be a murder suicide situation. I would kill him and then myself for failing as a dad
GDEs will never hear this, and that's a good thing
https://voca.ro/16YuqP04GbTY
no amount of demoralizing cope will prove me wrong
>Verification not required.
Got a 4 month son and will get my wife pregnant again soon. Making enough money from crypto to never work again. Wife is trad and taking care of house chores and everything, also makes money.
Been lazy and neglected my training but starting again slowly. I'm doing ok I guess.
>Making enough money from crypto to never work agai
shorting I hope
Life is nice when you're not a doomer. I also lift for my wife and kids. Working hard to give them the lifestyle they deserve and working hard to get the body I deserve.
It's nice being fit enough to run after todlers. You'll notice a lot of guys get winded after 5 minutes of playing or they don't play with their kids at all and give them tablets
Good job. Less by example. Also it’s a bonus when your wife’s friends think you’re hot. They get jealous and fuck you harder. My wife’s friend recently told me I was an 8 and she was unhappy in her marriage, likie and behold wife let me give her a facial that night
Less by example *
Lead *
Happy for you anon. Please don't neglect your girl in favour of your boys. My dad always played as much with me as with my brother and I love him a lot for it.
Ywnbaw. Your dad should of beat you more and maybe you wouldn't have been a chud
*have beaten
It actually turned out the other way and I became more of a tomboy. But thanks for your concern.
I'm not concerned. I'm disgusted. Your father is ashamed. Your brothers are appalled. Your mom is disappointed. And youre delusional
Thanks, im going to match up with your daughter on Tinder in 15 years, asks her if she wants to cuddle and watch a movie. Have sex with her and never talk to her again. Make sure instill in her the importance of exercise so shes nice and fit
I can't wait to start a family with my man but I'm scared as hell over being pregnant
lucky for you men cant be pregnant, so no worries trannie.
Yea, but the whole ruining the body thing is so a concern. Stretch marks and ruined tit structure. I know the bussy will eventually go back to normal, but potential tearing seems terrible. Plus, then it's for sure the point of no return. If my mate is secretly crazy, I'm stuck
if that's how you'll think about the mother of your children you're a failure of a partner
It's how I think of me. I love my body and I've worked hard for it. I'm worried I'm going to ruin my self-esteem
You won't get stretch marks. Your tits will sag, but thats just motherhood. Your husband should love your body anyway.
Avoid the medical system like the plague that it is. Pregnancy and birth are natural biological processes, not medical emergencies. If you submit to the system, you will be drugged, sexually assaulted, and be separated from your child at birth. You will have post partum depression from the experience, won't bond as well with your child, and give them an abusive, drugged and traumatic start to life. You have been warned
Spoken like somebody with no kids.
You can choose to not get an epidural. You can choose to have skin to skin time after birth
All pregnancy tests are non invasive.
During birth. The doctors are going to do what it takes to get that baby out of you. You will be asked for consent to check your cervix dilation. The doctor may need to use his fingers to help push the head out. That's it. If you can't handle someone helping you deliver a baby then you shouldn't be getting pregnant in the first place.
>You can choose to not get an epidural.
you chose not to get an epidural? holy shit why
Like the other anon said. It reduces your pair bonding ability with your kid. It's like a giant shit. It's painful coming out but you get that after shit glow once the big log finally gets out.
With an epidural you lose that glow. Youre barely half conscious and it's more like being stoned and zombied off a xan.
My wife has had our 2 kids without it and she's been fine. Hurt like a bitch, but women are made for is and as men it's our job to support them through it.
>my wife
I thought I was talking to another woman you fucking cunt. NEVER turn down the epidural, your wife will bond with the child anyway because it's her FLESH AND BLOOD that has been inside her for nine months. This pseudoscience bullshit is the reason why there's barely any male obgyns, because you don't know what it's like at all
You're not a woman and if you are you're in for post partum depression when your brain is turned to mush by the epidural
you're a horrible husband, who made his wife endure pain for no reason and I hope you know that
I'm a wonderful husband who helped my wife through a natural child birth. An epidural won't eliminate all the pain anyway. Also some women the epidural either doesn't work or it fails to connect.
BTW the epidural isn't a shot. They literally inject the needle into your spine. Then they leave it there during the entire child birth.
My wife was able to get up and switch positions and be comfortable during contractions. With an epidural you're basically stuck in the bed. Hope you don't have to shit. You do know lots of women shit while giving birth. They can't use the restroom because of the big ass needle in their spine so they shit when they start pushing
If your wife didn't want to get an epidural because she was too embarrassed to shit everywhere then be honest about that. Birth is the most dangerous medical event a woman can have in her life, insisting on no pain management just because of superstition is extremely irresponsible
Nah. She wanted to experience childbirth naturally, sober, and mentally aware.
You can do whatever you want. The options are there for you. All I know is that I'm proud of her for giving birth her way.
My wife said this at first then said give me the fucking epidural. She had 5. Labor was 27 hours long though from the time her water broke to when the baby was born.
>Labor was 27 hours long though
probably that long because of the epidural
My wife hit 30 hours then decided on the epidural by the time the anesthesiologist came we decided on c section because babies heart was dropping too much.
It was the right choice because my wife is alive and I have a happy wonderful 18 month old. Too much drama about how to give birth when the end goal is the same.
Side note that hospital had the greatest chicken wrap I’ve ever had.
Can you comment on whether your wife was able to get up and make adjustments too? Did they actually leave the needle in her?
Aren't there stretch marks all over the belly and hips? I've not a big person and I feel like the room required vs what I have currently are very different. Also, I'm not super worried about my husband loving my body. I'm way more harsh woth myself than he's ever been
My wife is as thin as a rail. When she was 9 months she still looked super thin from the front/back but when she turned to side you saw a huge belly bump. All pregnant women develop that belly line. But as far as stretch marks, she didn't get any. She didn't even use the everyday cream like some people say you should
>Birth
>medical event
holy fucking good goy
I'm on the fence on the idea of an epidural. I'm skinny and I'm worried about how much it's going to start, but I do wonder if there's some hormonal thing that really does make it easier to bond with the baby. Regardless, they're going to have a loving, supportive senpai afterwards anyways, so I don't know if it really matters. I can take pain, but I dony want to be a masochist for the sake of it
Start => pain, senpai => home
Really appreciate hearing anons make it, your inspiration helps combat the blackpill attitude that gets spread a lot.
Any advice you have for those of us trying to find a woman to start a family with? How did you do it, what worked for you or didn't work when finding a wife?
Practice. Practice talking to women, Practice dating, have a practice gf. After enough interactions you'll know what you want and you'll know when you've found it.
As for finding women. Online dating is the way to go. The days of meeting people in person, outside of work and college are gone. Learn how to make a good profile that highlights your strengths.
Practice your text game. Wordplay goes very far in texting.
When you find what you want. Don't be afraid to quickly lock her down.
I proposed 1 year into dating. I dont fuck around. You shouldn't either. Girls will put up with waiting, but you shouldn't take 5 years to know if you want to spend your life with someone. By then the relationship has dried up. Strike while the iron is hot. Keep the spark going. Love her like it's your first month together everyday.
Thanks, any particular site you used online? I get pretty demoralized with most online dating sites since it seems to present mostly women who are looking to hookup or do drugs.
I appreciate this. What did this actually look like? How early on did he share his goals about starting a family? What made you feel you'd have a good family life?
Try them all. You'll have to keep your options open. Learn how to ignore obvious whores and don't let yourself get demoralized. If you take a loss, then bounce back.
If you're getting demoralized trying to date, what will you do when shit hits the fan. Be bold be tough, and keep trying
Thanks, you are right about the demoralization, I need to be more aware of that going forward.
Thank you for sharing, this genuinely helps. Most of the people I know with kids just fell into a relationship and marriage from casual sex, without thinking about it. I usually don't hear from people who are more intentional about it outside of more traditional cultures where it's almost the same thing minus the casual sex part.
It was brought up on the first date. He wanted them and I was clear I wasn't sure. It sounds obvious as fuck, but he's consistently acted like someone who'd be a good dad. He handles himself well and I have zero worries about what would happen of I left the baby with him. He's made it clear he's thought about the logistics (i think he started talking time lines around month 4 or 5) and he's made me really comfy talking/joking about kids, which helped me imagine them with him. I wasn't sure initially, but I think we'll make great parents
If you really are a female and not larping. When it’s time to have kids make sure you say things like “breed me” “fuck a baby into me” and “get me pregnant, I want all your cum”. This is super hot.
I wasn't ready to start a family until I found a guy who made me feel like we'd have a healthy family life. Being upfront about his goals and what he's done to get there made it easier for me to jump in
Unironically google hot crazy matrix. Make sure she cooks or cleans and wants to be a mother. If not you’ll get a lazy retard psycho career bitch.
That's cool. I have nobody and I never will. Plan to an hero in 9 more years
I doubt I will get a good answer here but im 23, and Im not too keen on going back go school. I work a wagie job and making about 15 an hour now. there's not much room for growth, and im not interested in doing any management. just want to do my job, go home, and lift. I have a gf if you can believe it, but even she said "so when are you gonna figure out your career and get a real job?". ive just sorta been complacent with where im at, and at this rate--I will be living with my parents forever. so my question is--how do you find your calling, and get a job that is decent, and makes enough money where you can move out at some point?
you listen to yourself, you learn yourself, what YOU want to do. Not what society expects of you, or your gf or your parents. Go on a trip, no screens, nothing. Just spend some time alone with yourself in nature, and it will be a start.
Money and moving out comes after, it's pointless to have these things but not have yourself.
Also, look out for likeminded groups of people who are seeking to improve their lives. Not crab buckets of losers trying to get you down, people who are actively striving for the better. Make friends, and opportunities, money and wisdom will come to you, eventually. I made most of my money through contracts I got referred to through my friends.
I really like your response and I hope you still have this thread open and can respond. How do you find like minded people? ive actually been thinking about that for awhile now, how I want to meet people and get some sort of group going irl. I think one of my biggest issues on this self improvement journey is not having any friends. the only person I hang out with is my girlfriend, or maybe my cousin every once in awhile but we're not super like minded. we just both like video games, and we talk about anime and shit every once in awhile.
as for what I want to do--idk. I know I want to lift, that's for sure. nothing in my life has ever grasped me and just made sense to me other then weightlifting. even though im still pretty bad it after 2 years and dont have nearly the physique that I want, I know I will never quit doing it. its really the only thing I even look forward too, and as cringe as it may sound, I probably would've offed myself by now if I hadn't discovered it. I was in a very, very bad spot for awhile. drinking a lot, no gf, no enjoyment from anything, nothing. all I wanted to do was just lay in bed, listen to music, and drink. im gonna stop here cause you probably won't even read this, and its starting to become a blog at this point.
I am not that anon, but it sounds like you are in the exploratory phase. The fun part is you can pickup as many different skills and hobbies as you like right now, just know that not all of them will stick and you will have to drop some in the future when you find what you are truly passionate about.
If your parents are not charging you rent, you should try to get into as many internships or other types of side work that you can to see what's out there and get a wide amount of experience in different areas to see what you like and what sticks. Take advantage of not needing a lot of money to survive and move on if something isn't working out for you.
Also, I would highly recommend doing one of those writing exercises where you answer questions about yourself. Doing so in a isolated setting where you can really sit down and think about them will show you a lot more about yourself. There are a lot out there, you don't have to do this one in particular, but I got a lot of value out of this one: https://twitter.com/dranthonygustin/status/1604943181606293504
Hobbies. Hunting and fishing. Conservation clubs. Work buddies. Neighbors.
Hunting and fishing are a great way to have a gay getaway and give the wife time to fuck the neighbor
You don’t. Every job sucks. “If you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life” is bs. Make as much money as possible and work to live don’t live to work. Have sex. Exercise. Lift. Be a good husband and dad. Cool good meals. Enjoy good times with friends. Don’t watch the news or get into politics. Delete social media. Get into hunting and fishing and outdoorsman stuff. Read books. Minimize ir elimination of video games. Get sunlight. Mow your lawn. Clean your house. Be the man you are jealous of.
Lol life is what you make of it champ. You'll either stay where you are wondering when it will fall into your lap or you'll get up and go get it
Divorce and despair are coming for 50% of you and you can’t even see it yet. Your pride in your situation and belief in the future only makes the odds that much more striking.
have a (you) kind stranger
What race are you and your wife
