What's up, lifters!

What's up, lifters! So you're already hitting the gym and lifting weights a few times a week - that's great! But have you considered taking it to the next level and lifting weights every day? I know, I know, you might be thinking that you'll overtrain or burn out, but hear me out. By lifting weights every day, you'll keep your muscles constantly stimulated and see more consistent gains in strength. You'll also keep your metabolism revved up and improve your overall physical health. Not to mention, lifting weights releases those feel-good endorphins that can boost your mood and help reduce stress. So why not make the commitment to lift weights every day and take your gains to the next level? Trust me, your body will thank you!

          Average and slightly above is ugly to women and the women themselves are mostly average or ugly so will produce mostly the same offspring. All women are mostly doing is ensuring they end up alone and their children are killed or ruined just so they can play Chad lottery. You're not getting the best looking people created and they're going to be even more mentally ill than normal being raised by drugged out blown out women. This is not for the benefit of humanity.

      Why are people shitting on this Tweet? It is straight fire. A lot of men are fricking losers with a sexual market value (one important in romance and life in general) of essentially zero. Then red pillers like Tate prey on their weakness, blame the various things mentioned in the Tweet as to why they feel inadequacy. The intention of this is to indoctrinate men with a victim mentality, and the solution provided by red pillers is to be a frickwit that never faces reality, constantly crying the at voice they hear from the corner of their room. They will never become truly happy this way.
      Anons see the the mention of sex and fricking and the message goes completely over their heads, it's as if they're obsessed with sex or something...

      They're just not attracted to unattractive people (You).

      Terrible tweet. Here's my values: most people should be able to enjoy a baseline of romantic & financial happiness. You're supposed to care about the average person. If 50% of guys can't frick or save money, that's a problem. If 10% of guys can't frick or save money, that doesn't really bother me tbh. I don't really care much about the worst, laziest, ugliest dumbest people in that bottom 10%, but the average person absolutely should have a baseline of sexual & monetary success. You don't have to agree with me but if you don't, you're anti-human.

      If the 50th percentile of men are unattractive and undesirable, then they deserve to be alone.
      But I do agree with your point, the average person should be happy, the system as it is fails to do that.
      (Socialism is the only way)

      the average is ugly for women. always was. they just put up with our ugly asses because we constructed a system that forced them. now we play by their rules

      Big this. I love when ugly "men" complain about modern women and that modernity is why they couldn't get their dick wet. The only reason why they could of gotten wet back then is because women did not have the amount of autonomy they do today.

      I will never take life advice from someone who is bald.

    Feminism was always inherently toxic to society because equality is a lie, different people are treated differently based on who they are what they're worth or what they've done. Men aren't even equal to each other. Feminism from the beginning was a revenge fantasy and power trip for bitter delusional women who think nature itself is sexist for not letting them have it all. Even in the most generous interpretation feminism was always cancer.

      Interesting study, did you read it? I'm inclined to believe you did not read it. One: you quote the name of a news article for people to look for. Two: the contents of your post indicate that you didn't understand the study either.
      Another thing, just because one study says something, doesn't make it necessarily true in all scenarios. This is a US based study, not all of these conclusions can be taken and applied in Kazakhstan.
      The study mentions that its mostly lower socioeconomic women looking to marry up, white women with higher education were more likely to marry down than other demographics.
      The demographics that "took mens jobs" (no mention of that in the study) aren't looking for "rich daddy to pay for their shit", it's the lower socioeconomic people looking for that.
      There was no mention of divorce in the paper, I don't know where you got the "petty reasons" thing from.
      Also women didn't take men's jobs. Do you think that there are only a set amount of jobs? There are more jobs available with women working than not working, as now you have half the population looking to buy additional goods and services.
      Stop b***hing and crying about feminism, start b***hing and crying about how much of a loser you are, then do something about it.

        It's just one recent thing that confirms what's generally true which is women want a guy to make much more money than them and fund their consumerism while also making plenty of their own money already. They're feminists who want a trad daddy to take care of them anyway making them working and getting educated (debt ridden) redundant. They still expect men to be traditionally masculine while they view traditional femininity as oppressive. Clearly wanting it both ways. No amount of cope "not all women" posts will change that.

    Why are people shitting on this Tweet? It is straight fire. A lot of men are fricking losers with a sexual market value (one important in romance and life in general) of essentially zero. Then red pillers like Tate prey on their weakness, blame the various things mentioned in the Tweet as to why they feel inadequacy. The intention of this is to indoctrinate men with a victim mentality, and the solution provided by red pillers is to be a frickwit that never faces reality, constantly crying the at voice they hear from the corner of their room. They will never become truly happy this way.
    Anons see the the mention of sex and fricking and the message goes completely over their heads, it's as if they're obsessed with sex or something...

    They're just not attracted to unattractive people (You).

    If the 50th percentile of men are unattractive and undesirable, then they deserve to be alone.
    But I do agree with your point, the average person should be happy, the system as it is fails to do that.
    (Socialism is the only way)

    Big this. I love when ugly "men" complain about modern women and that modernity is why they couldn't get their dick wet. The only reason why they could of gotten wet back then is because women did not have the amount of autonomy they do today.

    Good take.

    We need a revolution. Unironically, socialism is the only way to save men.

    I do agree with the first statement. The post code you were born in is the biggest determinant of success. However;
    >i-i-i-it's not my fault I'm a loser with no loving wife, i-it's the feminists fault, reeeee!!!!
    Shut the frick up, you actual loser, go look at yourself in the mirror, find what's wrong with you, address it, then realise that it is all your fault, you coping moron.
    >b-b-bu-but my mommy said I'm haaaandsome
    Shush.

    Go say that to your own mother. Say it to her face, spell it loud and clear that these are your beliefs.
    You claim that feminists are bitter and delusional, which is laughable, have you seen your own behaviour?

    Interesting study, did you read it? I'm inclined to believe you did not read it. One: you quote the name of a news article for people to look for. Two: the contents of your post indicate that you didn't understand the study either.
    Another thing, just because one study says something, doesn't make it necessarily true in all scenarios. This is a US based study, not all of these conclusions can be taken and applied in Kazakhstan.
    The study mentions that its mostly lower socioeconomic women looking to marry up, white women with higher education were more likely to marry down than other demographics.
    The demographics that "took mens jobs" (no mention of that in the study) aren't looking for "rich daddy to pay for their shit", it's the lower socioeconomic people looking for that.
    There was no mention of divorce in the paper, I don't know where you got the "petty reasons" thing from.
    Also women didn't take men's jobs. Do you think that there are only a set amount of jobs? There are more jobs available with women working than not working, as now you have half the population looking to buy additional goods and services.
    Stop b***hing and crying about feminism, start b***hing and crying about how much of a loser you are, then do something about it.
    Also thank you anon, this was a fun way to stretch my brain and reinforce the fact to myself that I am morally virtuous, have a good day.

    >effeminate loser is whining about capitalism.
    Get your T levels checked.

      There's been a trend of the same people crying about capitalism defending or supporting feminism in the same breath. I say have a nice day a lot but this time I genuinely hope this poster does it.
