To comment on politics...


I'll still vote, talk politics with the few people I know who can have reasonable discussions about it IRL, and talk a little smack with folks on the internet.

But by in large, you're right when you say worrying/focusing on politics is a waste of time. No one ever changes anybody's minds about anything; they either come to conclusions on their own eventually, or stay stuck in their ways; usually, it's the latter.

Especially as a conservative. I gave up trying to have real political dicussions with liberals for the most part a long time ago. It's a completely fruitless activity.

As for the incel thing. “try harder” is not strictly wrong per se, it’s just that it’s so trite that it’s meaningless. No incel has been helped, ever, by hearing that crap. It’s equivalent to visiting a therapist and the therapist says “you just need to sort yourself out mate”. It’s not wrong, the guy does need to sort himself out, but it’s not helpful in any way, shape or form to simply be told that.
There will obviously be exceptions but in general I’m speaking from a financial perspective, someone wanting to make money while incurring little to no debt. And of course I’m biased. Again though your personal passion should trump all. If you can support yourself writing workout programs for people and that’s your passion then go for it. I was mostly saying for the random miscer who isn’t sure what profession to get into

How would you rate yourself looks wise, 5/10?

You could probably bang 4/10s

If you think you deserve 5s, 6s 7s as an incel 5 you should probably lower your standards

Anecdotally I know a lot of ugly dudes IRL and I know exactly zero virgins

I do think it’s useful to say because it’s the truth and delusion needs to be dismissed. You have to have sex as a grown man and anything thats preventing you from having sex needs to be addressed

Without going too far into it, conservatives are losing the culture war and it’s better to just be silent and shake your head then to try and make a stand (twitter/social media posts, signs in your yard, bumper stickers etc)

You mean the thread where I made you my bitch & the only thing you could post in response was “Nazi” over & over?

Yeah, I don’t think even you’re dumb enough to believe that.

Anyway, the point stands. You’re the least qualified person to give advice about anything. Know your place in life boyo.

Agreed. Though I think proper incels (as opposed to “late bloomers”) need a lot more than platitudes, but if we’re going with short snappy advice, “don’t give up” is infinitely better than “try harder”.

“Try harder” along with “stop being lazy” might be two of the worst things you can actually tell people. Both get the individual’s back up and elicit a defensive response.

I've done the yard sign thing before during election seasons, but you need to live in the right neighborhood to pull that off with conservative political yard signs. Otherwise you risk getting anything from the signs being stolen or your home being vandalized by outraged liberal freaks.

That's about as far as I go with labeling myself a conservative to the public, though. Like bumper stickers, or talking politics in your professional/business life, it's nothing but a liability, like you said. You aren't gonna convince Liberal Susan that your conservative political views are correct at the water cooler at work, but you might end up talking to HR and risking your job over it.

Alex Leonidas, Geoffrey Veritas Schoefield or some chit, bald Omni man (lots of gay anime references tho and too much focus on compounds IMO), basement bodybuilding, natural hypertrophy

Id look for the guys who have made steady progress for years. If a dude completely transforms in 1-2 years it’s a pretty dead giveaway he’s probably not natural

And ofc if you want to enhance then by all means no judgement just isn’t something I’d consider smart for your health

Agreed 100%

Unless you make a living off political discourse / entertainment or maybe you’re retired and YOLOing it, only exceptions I can think of

Disagree with 17 and 21. Brunettes are better. And weed is fine if you know how to handle it in moderation. Better then drinking.
You are your thoughts. Life is perception, thoughts are perception, perception is reality ergo thoughts are reality, I think therefore I am.

To each their own I just think weed is degen

I would agree than an every day smoker is probably healthier than an every day drinker

Would rather drink sparingly and just not consume weed because I don’t suck cawk, personally

Re 12: I’m already half way through uni, so I may as well just finish it off. I’m there to build my network/bang sloots and a degree really helps for what I wanna do. Plus, getting an internship is hella important for what I wanna do and so staying at this uni positions me best to get one.

#15 - agreed about how doing your own car maintanence usually isn't worth it. Even if we ignore the possibility that you could accidentally mess it up trying to do it yourself, even guys who really know their stuff end up pissing so much time away doing that stuff themselves. I feel like the guys I know who do all their own car work instead of taking it to tradies are pissing away every other weekend tinkering on their vehicles, and F that noise. Also, unless they are a full-on auto mechanic, they are flat out lying to you if they claim to never take their cars to shops under any circumstances.


#21 - I absolutely agree that over-inuldging in weed is a great way to end up rotting on the couch for an afternoon/evening, but no way is it worse than alcohol. Alcohol is worse than weed in literally every way. The only reason people give "drinking in moderation" a pass but won't give weed a similar pass is because society has normalized alcohol for thousands of years to cope with their addiction to it.

Ever felt the strong mind muscle connection while lifting being high? It's awesome for isolating muscle activation in lifts.

It took me a long time of smoking weed to realize I was just getting stoned and overstoned. I smoke micro bowls now. Hell, nowadays I just buy vape cartridges and take a small hit before hitting the gym. Vape is strong tho. It's easy to overdo it. It's all about moderation tho, something that you develop getting older.

Personal favorite.

Been stuck in over analysis and I suck at making up my mind and taking action. Either because I mentally work through the steps and feel all done with it, or because I can't decide how to realistically get started because a project seems to overwhelming or outside my comfort zone.

I really only talk about politics here. I'm aware of the general broken pointlessness and I'm quite circumspect IRL.

Don't give up is better advice. Applicable for most things too.

The Buy vs. Rent argument really depends on where you live. In my city, it's literally 50% the cost to rent similar units compared to buying them right now. You'd be a supreme idiot to buy currently where I live. And there are plenty of people who buy out in the Suburbs in order to own something they can afford, and it completely removes them from their social/professional network and completely screws their quality of life by commuting.

Otherwise, it's a good list. I didn't start Sales until I was in my late 20s, and should have started it as soon as I graduated from college.

Also, think of not running out on them for autistic manwhoring. It adds up against you.

Agree with everything except your exercise selection and blondes > brunettes

I think squats and deads can be low risk if you focus more on form than weight or pushing yourself super hard especially if natty and trying to emphasis upper body and just keep the lower body tight and strong without getting huge legs. Also depends on a person's build if they have stubby legs they can squat all day or like me long ass legs seems to make me pretty impervious to deadlift injuries.

And just fukking LMAO @ blondes
