    Rum and Coke, thanks. New people at the gym means it's more packed than usual. I've noticed more people blatantly stare at me when I lift, with some even nodding in approval. I'm not freakishly strong by IST standards but I've had other gym goers tell me I am strong. There's also a bunch of chicks and I'll catch them looking once and I'll tell myself to smile next time it happens, but it never does. It feels like they actively ignore or avoid me. I know I shouldn't care but it does get to me especially because I've been feeling lonely recently. I'll get over it like I always do, but it'd be nice to have someone to spend time with.

      A girl smiled at me today at the gym it caught me so off guard, then I went up to her and chatted with her a bit. I've learned that if there is any opportunity take it immediately. I tend to overanalyze and talk myself out of talking to a girl which leads to me waiting too long. I didn't even try to ask her out or anything tho I just talked to her with no expectations. Good luck. Also she looked a bit older than me like 30 (I'm 25) I always have better luck with older women can anyone explain this?

    Doing a "vegan fast" as a religious thing to start the year off, but I don't think I can keep it up. My body feels fricked by it and my mood is completely awful. I can't concentrate and my fingers keep twitching.

      Well I broke it. A little unhappy, but I just wrote a journal entry about it and I feel good.
      I came to the realization that I'm trying to do everything perfect, including irrelevant challenges. I know what I need to do to succeed -- I just need to do it and start slower, be better about tracking and reflecting on my tasks, and don't crash and burn in the times when I frick up.

              React to her story if she posted one and make small talk leading up to asking if she wants to hang. Idk where you live but I've always had success asking SoCal chicks if they're trying to hang because I was bored. Then you kick it at the mall or grab something to eat/drink while lightly flirting to see where she's at. If you don't want to do all that, then ask if she has any plans this weekend because you're trying to hang with her again but don't put any fuccboi emojis or gay shit. If you already have plans for this weekend then ask if she wants to tag along because she was fun and cool to vibe with last time y'all kicked it. You have to be confident and accept if what happened was a one time thing.

    Never had any problems with alcohol as I have been to so few parties. Gotta take the good with the bad I guess.
    I'm probably depressed, but I think I have been having some mild depression for quite long. Don't really have energy to do much. Even things that are easily done like putting some things I have laying around up for sale, or applying for a job. Hope to get out of this runt and at least get the job thing done this month.
    Trying to avoid sweets and snacks this month for a start, been going good so far. Doing nofap too, that's also going good. Sleep schedule is still fricked, need to start working on that too.
    Trying to get myself to the gym at least three times a week, been going to plan this week at least. Arms on Monday and a SL pass today.
    The general plan I wish to achieve this spring is to cut some fat and try out some dating app, as the tfw no gf has been hitting harder and harder with the years.
    I honestly don't have high hopes in succeeding with anything of this, except the job part. But there's a glimmer of hope.

    I finally snapped. I’m on day 3 of a crash diet. I did this in the past for over a year to get lean. I stayed sub 15% body fat for half a decade. Fell off my horse into a hole. I have nothing. I have no one. I’m not going to continue slow cutting until I’m in the teen body fat %’s. I did the one thing I promised myself I would never do and got fat again. Not nearly as fat as I once was but still super fricking fat. I can’t be fricked to lose 1lb/week when I have to lose like 50 just to be normal person sized again.

    And it feels so effortless with my crash diet methods. I’m doing this so I can go into the military because I have no job or skills and seriously need to whip my ass into shape. First things first I need to drop a ton of fat just to be healthy enough to get in, as well as light enough to actually run at all.

    Idk what the point is. I technically yo-up’d because I only did it all for pussy and once I started getting it I grew complacent and realized pussy isn’t all that. All I know is I’m miserable living like this. I know I’m a hell of a lot happier when I’m lean. If the military gives me a career and allows me to start a life then I’ll be even happier.

      i know the feel, care to share your strategy to crashing?

      • 1 year ago
        Anonymous

        I actually have what I believe to be a fairly healthy and sustainable approach to crash dieting. I nearly made a thread earlier. I’ll give you a quick rundown
        >get your shit together
        First things first. If you don’t already eat healthy, you have no business crash dieting. 90% chance you’ll binge or rebound or yo-yo or whatever you wanna call it. Spend 3 months adopting new nutritional habits, eating only healthy shut you cook yourself, and perhaps a small deficit as well.
        >the diet
        The key is salt. The water fasting gays are on to something with their snake cum. Electrolytes help you avoid hunger and the fatigue and shit moods and sleep issues, to an extent. Don’t go crazy but make damn sure you’re getting your sodium and potassium in.
        For breakfast I switch it up depending how I feel but it’s either 2-4 whole eggs with salt or it’s oatmeal and some salted almonds. Lunch should be a small snack such as 1-3 servings of almonds or some fruit for the carbs or just a single chicken tiddy, again be liberal with salt. I like dinner to be my largest meal and make damn sure it’s got carbs. So a single cup of cooked rice + protein source, sometimes I’ll straight up ditch the protein source and just eat rice&veggies.

        Because this is already a technically unhealthy way of dieting and meant for those who are over 18% body fat, forget macros.I.e. Don’t concern yourself with protein being high enough. Fat being high enough would be more beneficial for hormonal health and sanity tbqh. Your goal should be to keep your deficit no less than 1,300 calories. Worry only about that. Because you are a fat frick over 18% body fat, any muscle loss you experience is not true muscle loss. You might lose 0.5lbs of actual muscle through the entire process. The rest will be fluid loss and your muscle just appear flat, it all comes back within a few weeks of resuming normal calories.
        >sanity
        Every 3 weeks if significant progress is made you [continued]

        >sanity
        Every 3 weeks if significant progress is made you [continued]

        >sanity
        Every 3 weeks significant progress you can either eat maintenance for 2 days, or you can eat whatever the frick you want so long as it’s in a deficit. I don’t recommend any cheat meals though, go for the 2 days of maintenance.

        >lifting
        Go easy. Like literally just lift two days per week to maintain muscle and do 2-4 lifts 2 sets of 12 reps each.
        >cardio
        Go for it if you’re used to it but be careful. I only walk.
        >Protip
        If you’re genuinely having one of those shit days when your mood is bad and you’re angry as hell and you’re starving, you can add 500 calories of just carbs but you must do a cardio workout after. Doesn’t matter if you don’t burn 500 calories you’ll still burn a decent amount and be in a deficit. This is to be used sparingly on those harder days.
        >supplements/other shit
        Melatonin if you get the hunger insomnia like me. 2.5mg-5mg max. If you’re new to it, try several forms and brands. Only hard tablets work for me.
        Water. Carry a gallon jug around with you, try to drink slightly more than a gallon a day. When you’re hungry, down water to fill your stomach. It works. Ice water is better for this.
        >forgot to add
        Space your meals out right. OMAD has a time and place and a crash diet where you eat sun 1000 calories per day is not one of them. If it works for you then I guess try it but it doesn’t for me. I get through my days easier with the plan I mentioned in the above post. That’s what makes it effortless for me
        >coming off it
        I recommend slowly ramping calories up to whatever your new maintenance is. Add like 150 calories every few days until you’re there, then take a few weeks to reassess and get it dialed in.
        >another side note/tip because I’m stoned and forgot
        You can increase cals a bit for a couple weeks if work is getting demanding or stressful or you have exams or whatever. But stay deficit, do cardio or walk a couple hours to compensate.

    Been in bed because I got sick for past 2/3 days , had time to rethink my life quite a bit because it’s the new calendar year. I can’t go with my sinner way no more , I know my path in this life will be blessed only through the gift of the LORD , I feel ashamed of myself for being saved by his grace again…for the way I acted for past months. I’m just a tiny dust in his almighty hands in the end of the day but he just keeps his word to me, Im just a sinner like you wouldn’t even believe , I’ll change my ways because I know I need to walk the right path.
    I know I need to stay humble and not let myself be deceived by all this things around me that have no real value for me , I just don’t know how to show my gratitude towards the LORD , I had my back against the wall few days ago and I’ve been praying for past 3 days and he delivered.
    I always put GOD first because I got my reasons and no one can tell me shit, I’ve just seen too much this past days…

    Proverbs 1:7
    The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

    In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me

    Jaegerbomb with a Hot Toddy in 45mins time

    I'm coming to the realization that some of the few close friends I have are moronic, and I need to distance myself from them but I don't want to socialize more to make up for the loss. I go to bed at 4PM and wake up at midnight to go to the gym. I might start playing an MMO again or something.

    Also my gym routine is non existent and I'm finding myself just going and working on different muscle groups that don't feel fatigued until they are, it's hard to figure out what exactly to do routine wise with the amount of discourse online.

    OP

    So after 1 year of voluntarily avoiding dates & sex (got fat and now got back to where I was), I got out with a girl I met on Bumble.
    Everything went smoothly, and I could see that she was into me. For some reason, at the end of the date, I just didn't feel like kissing her and thought that this would make her even more into me.
    After the date (we split at 12AM), she texted me at 2AM to see if I reached home (drove 40 minutes at the other side of the city).
    I hadn't seen it because I have my Messenger notifications OFF and I saw it in the morning.
    After that, although she seemed eager to meet for a day, she ghosted me.
    Although I do not care for her and I do not see anything happening between us, I have to admit that this hurt my ego, mostly because I had taken her for granted.

    I'm thinking about texting her now, genuinely asking why did she vanish. But, on the other hand, I know that what she did is a red flag and I have promised to myself to fricking listen to red flags from now on (the reason I avoided women altogether for 1 year is after one toxic ex who made me realise that I should put my needs first and, when I go to dates, screen women for me instead of just wanting to be approved of from the woman.)

    Thoughts? Should I roll the dice and text her?

        OP

        Your approach is most certainly correct. However, have you ever thought that, this way, you are weeding out casual sex?
        One problem I always encountered is that I would only have sex with women I really liked, and because I really liked them, the whole thing turned into a relationship (even if I did not want it to go that way), as I found it hard to cut contact.

      Water please.

      I've decided to take up online dating. Made a profile that shows a bit about my personality. I've liked about 10 women within 40 miles.
      What I've been thinking about is, are my standards too high? Or at the very least, do I keep my standards for a partner that may not even exist? Never even met a tomboy in my life.

      Gonna watch the first episode of the new Tomochan anime later, even though I know it'll just make me sad. I'll channel my negative emotions into gym + study motivation.

      If I may ask, how long did it take for you to get a match?

        Anon, I sympathize with you, but you need to go ahead and get THAT particular ideal out of your head. Literally no one will ever measure up to Tomo, it might as well be high fantasy for how realistic it is. Set your sights lower and try to keep ideals of perfection out of your head, because no one is perfect, including you. Imagine your BARE MINIMUM requirements for a woman, and go for ANYONE who is at that or above.

            Relationships (real ones) are about trust and cooperation. Trust me, the perfect athletic tomboy who shares all of your hobbies is a wonderful ideal, but just finding a woman that you don't find ugly, that you get along with and that you can trust and cooperate with for the rest of your life is more than enough. You find one of those and you'll feel so unbelievably lucky that you won't mind her imperfections.

        Huge mistake. Dating apps worked a decade ago, nowadays they're P2W for men and an ego booster for women. The apps, by design, won't let you see all your matches, won't show your profile to prospective matches and the ones you do match with have the personality of chalk.

Was working for this big company with a terrible rep that made all these promises to me when I joined and basically just lied and never did any of the shit they promised me. Finally got fed up and started looking elsewhere, old contact hooked me up and now I'm at another place that actually lets me do the work I wanted to do in the first place.

          That’s pretty much why I left the last job I had. During the interview I was lied to about a policy which can hold you an extra 2 hours per day. It’s 12 hour shifts stuck in an ambulance all day but the occasional extra 2 hours doesn’t sound too bad. Except it’s not occasional or potential it’s a guaranteed and it’s an extra 4 hours not 2. Paired with low pay and unlimited extra shifts means you’d have to work 7 days a week to make ends meet. Meaning your life with them is overwork, go home sleep less than 7 hours, back to work. Zero down time, patient after patient. Frick that. I’m no longer in that field at all.

      My boyfriend is a lazy stoner and I can't take it anymore. I have done everything for him the last two years. I'm about to graduate uni with a bs in a tech related field (he is finishing an associates that he failed last semester) and I can't see myself wanting to have children with him. I know I need to end it, but he starts crying whenever I try to so I back down. I hate seeing him upset so much. I can't forgive myself when I make him cry. Lately when I tell him I love him he says shit like "are you sure? I'd be very sad if you didn't..." and it's killing me inside. He's 260 lbs ffs. He can't even keep it up during sex anymore. I'm so tired of it all but I can't bring myself to hurt him. He's my little baby but I can't have a family with him. What the frick do I do?

      I don't drink because I don't want to age myself. I don't even like being drunk. I am also confused at the amount of alcoholics here.

      Why are women like this? She should have said no in the first place. Also are there any song out there about me being an idiot?

      Sorry anon at least you can move on. Unless she offers a different date, she's not interested.

        i seldom ever give advice to women, but i suppose i'll give it a go.
        unless you want to condemn yourself to a life of nannying an man-child, who may very well have a mid life crisis, disregard everything youve done for him, and leave, you need to pose an ultimatum that you will uphold:
        >stop being a useless degenerate obese stoner homosexual
        otherwise
        >the relationship is over
        the tough part is deciding the specific terms of the ultimatum, and then ultimately upholding it regardless of whichever way he decides to go.
        ive been in similar ruts personally, someone my gf flat out dumping me probably wouldnt have made it better, but her allowing it to continue wouldnt have been good either.
        if he decides to get his shit together, help him. break him down and build a partner you would want to have a family with.

    Fairlife choccy milk, thanks.

    Wasn't thinking and had a big ouchie at work today. After more ouchies last month and november. Was trying to make it a few weeks to lock in some stuff for when I resign but now that's in the air.
    On top of that, busting my ass to make my freelancing work, I've spoken with almost 2,000 business owners at this point. Slowly getting work but not past the hump where you just get referrals and freaking out. I've busted ass to save and get my name out, I don't see any path forward but to either rot at job, get fired, or quit and make this work.

    The GOOD news is that I'm 9lbs down since my heaviest new year's day so BOOM.

      No that makes you a simp. You want her to see you spending money on things that are not for her so that she wants in on it. If she's getting money and expensive things from you for nothing then she's got no reason to give you her attention. You're just simping. If anything bring back a box of chocolates and offer her one only and eat the rest yourself to be polite, show your wealth, but make her not feel special.

      just work on yourself and don't think about women too much. if all a woman cares about are those things and she doesn't really love you she isn't worth anything. if you like your neighbor just try to be nice and make social gains talking to her.

    The main downtown club for young people is having a singles night every first friday of the month starting this friday, should I go?

    I've got all the traits IST tells me should give me a free gf, but I don't have. I only ever interact with dating app bawds because I never leave the house. No friends group for going out, they're all either in relationships or shut-ins but unlike me they don't want to break out of being shut-ins so inviting them to go is a non-starter. I feel like even if I go on Friday I'm going alone and doomed to fail and be the weirdo alone at the club desperately trying to get a gf on singles night.

    I’ve spent the past few years studying by philosophy, and one thing I’ve truly learned is that you will make mistakes on your path to living a better life. More mistakes then you did before because now you recognize all the ways you do wrong.

    You can’t let this discourage you, let go of the need to be perfect, to always make the right choice. To err is to be human, is one of the truest maxims I’ve read, and with everyday it means more and more to me.

        Same. I thought I had ED after an experience with this girl I brought in who had giant breasts but otherwise wasn't that hot, and she was also the first girl I ever encountered who just deadfished. I was like half chub and she was literally just laying back and moaning but doing shit all. Same with another girl I wasn't really as attracted to but was willing to do some crazy sex shit.

        Made me realize attraction and being actually turned on does matter, especially when you get older. You're not a machine, it's normal if you don't instantly produced a giant diamonds boner at all times under any circumstances regardless of mentality. If there's something going on that makes you not really turned on it won't happen.

      I have experienced the same before, it's probably different for everyone but the problem for me was feeling trapped and unable to grow. I had this issue when I had exams coming up in a uni semester and was so incredibly behind on studying that I had time for literally nothing else except gym. It wasn't the importance of studying that made me anxious, it was having no room to BUILD something for myself/others that made me feel like shit.

The last time I woke up not knowing what I was gonna do that day from start to finish was like two years ago.
    Everything is so expensive. I don't even need it. But I need women so I have to spend. I fricking love working out and luckily girls love a fit body, but no one likes an empty wallet. I feel the need to work to ve sucking my soul out. I don't get enough satisfaction to counter the pain that work induces. But at the same time, being a broke loser with no gf sounds like an awful life. Been there, hated every single moment of it. Being a broke loser with a gf was the life, but now we're moving "forward" in life and I can't just play the guitar all day and forget about the alarm.
    I just wish I was the king of the world and could do whatever the frick I want all day. Being a plebeian sucks. Most people would say I have an awesome life but I'm starting to think that I'd rather starve to death than working another day.

    Have any of you ever felt as if you were too emotionally withered to be emotionally invested in a relationship? If I was in one, I'd love the sex, love the affectionate lovey-dovey shit, probably would hate to see my partner feel bad and would want to see them happy, and would be somewhat depressed if we had to part, but I'm not sure how much I could bring myself to genuinely care about a woman. I think I'd feel like an impostor, an alien trying to imitate what he thinks people in such a relationship with a woman would do, say, or feel. Yet there would be little in the way of substance to it all within.

      Few of my friends in high school failed their 1st attempt as well anon, don't sweat it.

      Guys, about to drop a $100 on a cummaxing supplement wienertail, should I?

      I'm not getting them solely for cum maxing, but there's some not so essential ones I'm considering dropping like Onions Lecithin and L-arginine, Should I just say frick it and go for it?
      I'm not really short on money, but I feel kind of stupid spending the money just to shoot thicker ropes.

      Are you actually having sex with someone right now? If so, do it if you think it will improve your sex life. If you're not sexually active and just want more fun jerking off, then don't do that.

        Not sexually active, but I do like shooting thicker ropes, I think I might actually go for it, these things take months to start showing results anyway, it'll be too late to start by the time I actually do start having sex.

          They're grifting you.

          L Arginine (vasodilator, makes you harder)1.5g day
          Sunflower lecithin (NOT ONIONS LECITHIN. makes you shoot more fluid) 1.2g
          Zinc (less than 30mg a day, ideally 20 (DO NOT HAVE TOO MUCH ZINC))
          Vit D 3000 iu

          Now you hydrate like a motherfricker and salt your food with iodized salt. Btw results should be in 2 or 3 days.

              Only other caution is that L Arginine is a nitrate. If you take any kind of heart medicine, you want to avoid it. Also, if you take things like Tadalafil of slidenefil (Viagra/Cialis) than it can be a problem for your health (blood pressure may drop dangerously low). Otherwise, happy shooting.

    Anons, I have given up, I do not understand life, it's unfair, short, and random. I suppose I have to go on trying but I don't have any expectations of a magical third act where everything comes together, I want a life like a cozy book or series, with a tight knit friend group that goes on wacky adventures, everyone once in a while there's a beach episode. But that's not real, I just know I'll end up dying and be kind of disappointed in it all. It's a shame. But my outlet know is to just make things up in fiction, where in some way that world is real, maybe heaven is real too.

    Why I keep falling for the "I'm here for you" bullshit. Literally every person who told me that does the same thing, no one cares about me and how I feel and every time I do that the person ends up walking away from me instead of talking about my problems they supposedly cared so much about.

      Found the problem. Women do not care about your personal problems and will not help you unless they have to or unless it benefits them. If you want someone to bounce your problems off of and help you out, do it with your close friends. They can actually empathize with you. If you don't have any friends, good luck.

    I'll take an Old Fashioned and some sparkling water, please. Whatever (affordable) bourbon you recommend.
    I've been stuck in a rut for over a year now where I consistently fail to achieve anything. It's gotten to the point where I can't even muster up the ability to try. I think if I didn't have a job I wouldn't even get out of bed.
    I'm so deep into this rut and so tired of being a frickup that I've started fantasizing about putting my pistol in my mouth and pulling the trigger. I'd never do it (I saw what happened to my family when my uncle an heroed), but the intrusive thoughts are just one more thing on the pile of shit I'm trying to get over. I'm also a solid year into my current job and have no fricking clue what I'm supposed to be doing, which is eating at me all the time and probably the core of the issue. Think I'm also struggling with internet/vidya addiction or something.

    I actually got up on time today for the first time in like three weeks and made myself a nice cup of coffee to go with breakfast, so that's something. Made my own lunch too (normally I grab fast food). Goal tonight is to go on a nice, long walk and get to bed on time. Maybe do some prayer and Bible reading if I remember.

    Bourbon on the rocks please.
    Had a shit end of 2022. Had to end a relationship of almost 6 years and it was hell for a while. I hastily signed a lease for a one bedroom after the breakup since I didn’t want to quit my job with everything else happening but now a few months later I think that was a mistake. I think I’m over the hill so to speak so I’m hoping for a better 2023. I just need to relearn how to talk to women. There’s a group of girls I’ve seen at the gym for the last year or so and I’m 90% sure one of them is into me but I’ve been out of the game so long I don’t know what to do about it. Newbies at the gym are in my fricking way all the time but I know they’ll filter out the next few weeks.

    How do you succesfully lie about past relationships?
    Everytime I go out with a girl who is actually decent at one point she asks me about my past relationships and it goes downhill from there since they were not long and serious.
    I always thought that honesty was best however now I am approaching late twenties and am tired of the same shit, and also realised that most guys lie about it anyways and have a huge advantage over guys that don't.
    So, how do you lie about your past relationships in order to get the most favorable reaction? Also what is a good reason for the break-up, is it better whether you left her or she left you?

    • 1 year ago
      Anonymous

      Buckle up anon cause I lied about all my past relationships.
      These are rules you should definitely follow:
      1.) never talk bad about your ex. No matter what. It’s simple psychology because people then think it could be her fault as the abused/ wronged one never talks bad about past relationships.
      2.) Make up a name/ Age and where you met, never ever change those 3 points, even if you tell it to different people and know they would never meet because it will just confuse yourself in the long run as what you said to who.
      3.) Say the last serious relationship was 2 - 2,5 years ago. It gives a feeling of a bad break up that you had to go over, showing your emotional and weak side, believe me people love that shit.
      3.) If they ask for pictures just say following thing:
      >Why should I still have pictures of my ex? That’s really strange.
      It shuts them up pretty quick and they never ask for it again.
      And now on why you broke up. It depends on yourself as a person really and what kind of image you want.
      The good hearted boyfriend who got cheated on because she was insecure, maybe the relationship that turned out good but developed into a mental war over time because she got jealous and never wanted you to meet anyone so you had a big fight and broke up.
      Or later we found out that it just won’t work out because we wanted different things in life (like children, or moving to another country, city etc.)
      Choose for yourself what image you want.
      OR
      Just say the truth that you never had a real relationship because you were unlucky and just went to the wrong women.
      Women in your age love this kind of shit because it shows that you are still innocent and you don’t have to hold up a lie all your life long if it does work out with her.
      The most important thing is that you don’t act like a fricking child while talking to her. Be it

      What do you hate about uni, the people? I'm going back this week and find the culture on my campus insufferable.

      Rum and lemonade thanks.
      I'm seeing my reaction to slipping into depressive episodes get worse and worse over the years. It used to be borderline motivating when I was younger, as if it was something to beat, or I could at least wallow in the aesthetic of masochistically working through intense pain to get through everything. The difference now is that I genuinely don't feel a drive to improve my circumstances, I can feel myself sinking deeper and I lean into that aspect of it, without even wanting to (previously would make situation worse to more "explosively" recover from it through pain).
      For instance at the moment I'm not washing, my diet has fallen off to eating sub 1k calories a day, desire for drug use is skyrocketing, degen habits are coming back, exercise is completely unfulfilling, nights are down to about 5h of sleep. I feel conversationally stunted, I can't communicate smoothly with friends as before, I'm growing intensely jealous of everyone being friends with each other when I'm not around, and generally just feel lonely no matter the company I keep.
      Really not sure at what point everything fell off, but it just feels like I changed my perception of being depressed from something to escape to just a state that I'll always be in, and it's been in the most destructive way possible. At this point I think antidepressents are an actual goal to get to, I just don't think my mental side is cutting it alone anymore.

      Onwards and upwards, anon. You said yourself your old philosophy does not cut it anymore. Seek and ye shall find purpose again.

      At least I lost about 10 pounds from being 283, that was about 1-2 months ago, but I hope I've been gaining some muscle too...

      I get depressed when I realize I haven't been getting the results fast enough, but it's because I get the impression I could have done more. And maybe I could have. But I try to console myself that it's not a race, no one will ever be perfect, and to content myself with the things I have achieved instead of the things I haven't.
      Also if you're cutting trust the mirror, not the scale. Those muscle gains will offset some of the fat loss.

      I'm going back to uni after 2 years away and I'm a bit nervous. I want to make the most of my time, grow stronger as a man while having the sex and fun that I missed out on the first time around. I thought I would be bigger and more collected than am I now when planning this. I'm not gigachad yet but I am much better than I was last time. I'm afraid that deep-seated feelings of bitterness will resurface, as well as that the extra responsibilities will wear me out again.

                Also, it's not like these conditions stand to improve or be corrected in any way. So within the lifespan of everyone posting here, you will all have to be choosing between the most humiliating lifelong serfdom+castration, and "being a Black person".

                Also, imprisonment is alright, it's not worth fearing.

                Yes and as I said they will land you in prison or not get you women.

                >ignore women
                That's literally what everyone here does. They stay in their basements ignoring women.

    Been having insomnia issues lately. For some reason my brain decided to go "frick you" and does not allow me to be in proper deep sleep, I've never had this before. Basically I lay down and normally I feel like my brain detaches itself from the body and I am in dreamland. But now its like im aware that I am laying down and sleeping while at the same time halfway dreaming. I don't know how to stop it.
    I asked my psychiatrist (I have OCD please no bully, dont take meds just therapy) and she didnt really know what to do about it.

    I've spend so many years as an incel I cannot comprehend women being into me. Never been ugly although super insecure, but thanks to lifting and general healthy lifestyle I managed to become pretty good looking recently. Still any time I see women miring or even have them approach me, I subconsciously panic fearing they might find out who I really am. Like I'm somehow fooling women into being into me and they will realize sooner or later that I'm actually not attractive if they interact with me.
    Doesn't help that pretty much the only experience I had with women was a few months ago when I met a chick at a festival through friends, we hit it off and then she went from literally not being able to look me in the eyes without blushing the first few dates to completely ignoring from one moment to the next. Never mind I hat a genuinely pretty chick into me and let me frick her, for a few weeks at least, but the incel part of my mind doesn't care about that apparently
    I guess this is just some form of generalized impostor syndrome. I have the same shit everywhere
    >uni
    somehow in my moronic brain I'm only excelling at my stem major because I'm good at studying + exams and actually moronic
    >social
    I have tons of friends and acquaintances and everyone I interact with seems to like me but they actually just tolerate me because others tolerate me and I kinda weaseled my way into social circles
    >fitness
    I outlift, outperform and look better than any any person I know IRL and most people in the gym. To me I'm just weak because I've been lifting for close to a decade with meh stats and look awful because I got rather wide hips and narrow shoulders.

    Somehow in my mind what I am to others and what I achieve is not who I really am. Because the person behind those actions is the person only I know, the me that only exists in my own thoughts. And I cannot imagine anyone ever liking that thing, so I'd rather keep letting my normie shadow take the credit and never let anyone really in

    Gonna probably break up with gf of 4 years. She'll do it.

    Marriage is fricking with her mind because she's from a different culture and for the past six months our conversations revolved around nothing but obligations, responsibilities, duties, etc. This got her into a depressive and anxiety induced rut and she's refusing help. Didn't even propose to her yet, not engaged, no kids. Nothing. but her mind is OBSESSED with shit like not moving to far away from her mom because she needs to take care of her grandkids. (she never moved out in her life). Current life is a mess due to her work and her living situation (hates being where she is, refuses to move in, hates her mom, yet goes full stockholm with her future)

    At this point I'm dulled and uncaring. Whatever happens, happens. 31 years old. Had a good time but if this is how its going to end then so be it. Better dodge this bullet now before getting married and hit with a 180 in attitude and everything. This isn't the person I fell in love with anymore. I made peace with that.

    I’m a little concerned with my new drinking habits
    I never had a desire until a particularly stressful week at work and school at the same time and I wanted to try something to relax on the weekend
    Well I sure did relax, and now I’ve relaxed every weekend since then
    Usually I drink heavily, like 7-9 drinks, once or twice a week. Only on weekends because I don’t want to effect my training too much.
    It’s just concerning. I really really enjoy it. It feels like I can talk to people better and I’m received better, on top of just feeling great.

    I’ve been using dating apps to find some girl to go out with for a week and as always it’s mentally draining. Things are going fine, the both of us even set up a date and then she ghosts or turn a one-eighty on me. That’s not even counting the fact that a lot of these women are dumb and entitled as hell. I thought for sure I had the whole thing set with the last one I’ve been talking with, but she ghosted me today. I’ll try to salvage it latter tonight, but I’m not really hopeful. Frick, I just want to go out and have some fun, why does it have to be so hard? I know some of you guys think Chad has an easier time, but even a Chad friend of mine has to meander through a gazillion lukewarm matches and aimless talking before he can score a date. Going clubbing seems like an easier time, but I dislike it.

    Gin and tonic

    I've lost close to 25lbs since starting in Nov and while I'm happy for that and seeing the steady progression weak to weak (not just water weight), I went to the gym tonight for the first time in years and severely underestimated how weak I really am. Granted I did shit ass backwards by doing accessory exercises before a core lift, but still it's embarrassing and depressing as frick when I can't even manage 5 continous reps of bar only squats.

    Upside is that I've missed that good feeling of pumping out a set when you don't think you can finish it. Idk man, just gotta keep looking forward and understanding that after almost 10+ years of gaming and sitting on my ass I'm gonna be weak as shit.

    Might adjust my calorie goal to get to 230 and up my protein intake to help with muscle gain. See how I feel and look then and go from there. Currently aiming for 200 and MFP has me at 120g protein a day. Kinda dig bear mode anyways.

      Hey so I had a similar situation as you. I lost 50 lbs and felt weak in the gym. I suggest you keep going. I stopped before my goal weight to put on some muscle and I haven’t gotten near that weight since.

        That's fair anon, will probably up my protein still and hopefully being so weak is from doing jack shit and eating shit for 10 years. Felt good pushing through the last set of one of the accessories I was doing, didn't think I'd be able to manage it.

        Also need to come up with a clear plan for each day, I put in work today but it had no focus and definitely not optimal thinking about it now. Looking forward to the leg soreness tomorrow though.

      In the moment chemistry often means nothing. If there's anything I've learned in my adult life it's that for girls if you are out of sight you're out of mind until she's literally in love with you. If you're not immediately in front of her you're not even a person. The letters and text on her screen don't register as a person either.

          Indeed. Honestly with the frigidity of that messaging the writing was one the wall, but it's good to get it confirmed.

          Started actually throwing my hat into the ring last year (after I moved out), and went on a date that didnt go anywhere. But then it was a mutual "lets not meet again". Important part is to never fricking never make that "What could have been" mistake. I've pulled moronic shit in the past. And as long as I can avoid wondering what could have been I consider it a W.

          Not gonna pretend I'm in some super happy mood right now but I'll get over it.

          Often nothing, and that's one of the hardest pills you're going to have to swallow in life.

          You can be in love, have kids, support eachother through thick and thin, and it can all end in divorce meaning nothing. A girl can act like she's in love with you one minute then be fricking another dude the next. There is no amount of connection or bonding you think you're building with a girl that she can't throw it out. Compared to these having a nice conversation for a few hours is nothing.

          Even if the shit you said was true, believing it would do nothing but turn you into a bitter frick. And that aint good for anyone. I know it stings to lose the closer you get to winning, and I hope one day you'll be able to get back into the ring. Or stay out of it forever, if that is what makes you content. Just that you end becoming happy with where and what you are in life.

            >believing it would do nothing but turn you into a bitter frick
            That's weird it hasn't done that to me. Accepting basic realities of human interaction is simply learning how to live with life and will make you less angry that it happens. Once you understand there is no level of bonding that you can create with a girl that she can't or won't create with another guy immediately after or even concurrently with you, you alleviate any and all expectations or rationality or loyalty and won't get mad at finding neither. It won't hurt so much when things like that happen because you won't be left thinking, "Wtf we had such a great connection?"

            Connections for pretty girls are a dime a dozen. Every guy is going to interact with them in an engaging way. For you the great interaction and conversation was special because it's rare for you to find an engaging girl, but for her it was just another fun guy entertaining her for the night.

    Haven’t drank in 5 months anons and never plan to again. Physically pisses me off even thinking about it. I still smoke weed but I’m sure we can all agree that’s a little better. I kept my job throughout all of this surprisingly. Destroyed a lot of relationships, including the one with my ex. Would get super drunk and post shit about Covid vax being a death shot on normie social media and lost a lot of friends.
    Been lifting ever since, look a lot better and dropped 20 pounds.
    Don’t do what i did anons. If you have a problem the sooner you face it the better. It doesn’t get better on its own.
    I didn’t go to rehab btw but if you feel you need to, go ahead, anything that helps.

    Moscow mule please.
    New shy foreign looking lanklet girl joined gym. I was in front of a squat rack doing rows, and she was doing barbell calf raises on the rack, while doing some weird supersetting with calf machines. Finished my rows and asked her if I could join her to do my squats. She says she is done and I can take it, so I start.
    Before I'm done with squat warmup she comes back and asks if I will take long, tell her to join and alternate.
    After she finishes her set she tries to help me set change one side of the weights, struggles with the 20kg plate, gets nervous, and leaves to calf machine without putting in the rest of my weights.
    While resting before my last set I leave to fill my water bottle, when I come back she is just done setting up my set weights correctly for once (both sides this time), I chuckle and tell her thanks for that, she blushes and says no problem with a yummy foreing accent, and goes away to another machine.

    Very simple interactions, but felt really natural and cute, and I can't remember the last time I was genuinely smiling like today.

    I've worked out the last 4 days in a row (crosstraining). I nearly fricked off yesterday's workout but pushed through. Was planning to lift tonight and rest tomorrow, but I don't have it in me, I'm gonna rest tonight and lift tomorrow.
    Pretty proud of my perseverance otherwise, hasn't been the mental battle I thought it'd be. Good start to the year. The last quarter of 2022 really got away from me, so it feels good to be back in the swing of things.

      In fairness, she's not really good for me in general and no way I should be in a relationship with her, but still.

        How to meet young cuties?

        Met mine at a cafe, I was hungover and recovering from a ketmine trip from the night prior so I was delusional enough to ask her for her number and instagram. Shes coming to stay over at my place in an hour

        I'm seeing a 17 year old too. we have quite the age difference and shes honestly the sweetest girl ive ever met. im staying with her and idgaf about the social repercussions she's like a unicorn.

        Iktf. I wish to god there were such a social stigma about it, I wish to god she was 18 but unfortunately thats just not the case.

          We're holding off with more serious stuff till she hits 18. I see it as a chance to bond and extra time for me to do what I need to do. For now were spending time with each other doing different activites and hanging out having a good time.
          She has an overbearing mother but at least shes cool enough to trust her daughter's judgment with me.

        Tinder for me.

        The hard part though is that Tinder sets your max age range at 5 years older by default and most girls are too moronic to even know it. You're usually going to not even be seen on dating apps by girls 5 years or more younger than you unless they're deliberately daddy issues girls looking for much older guys. These ones tend to be a bit unhinged.

        You can also go to your local club where the college girls go.

      I dated an 18 year old when I was 27. She made me happy for a bit, but that was followed by three years of depression and trying to maintain contact with her.
      It was not worth it and I should've focused on the relationship I was/am in.

    I finally talked to the qt at work. She was a rower in high school so I used that as a conversation starter. We ended up going to the company gym together and she gave me some tips. I sweat way too much and felt so out of shape and honestly think I blew any chance I had with her.

    The biggest gains goblin is losing a pet. My cat died mid-November from kidney failure and I had that piece of shit for nearly 17 years. I've been mostly blackout drunk and a sad c**t since then. Mostly just whiskey, I've tried a few good ones but now it's just cheap vodka. Picked up a new cat from the humane society just before Christmas. She's a good cat but there's something missing and I'm pretty sure it'll never be the same again.
    To be an entirely sad c**t, I tried Laphroaig's quarter cask and it's a really good whiskey, would recommend if you like heavy peat scotches.

      I understand how you feel, my cat died after 18 years a couple years ago. Take solace in the fact that she had a great and long life with you and being dead is better than suffering from kidney failure. She wouldn't want you to be a sad c**t all the time but be a sick c**t instead, go lift anon.

    I got impingement a couple of weeks ago but I have not stopped lifting. I modified my routine to do mostly narrow grip stuff and added a frickton of rotator cuff exercises and dead hangs. The pain has steadily declined and my rom in the impinged shoulder is almost back to normal.
