Fuck off to /r9k/

Houellebecq. Read The Elementary Particles.

>a little beerbelly

Hey, I've got 1/4. Nice.

Society of the Spectacle

>traids
stay in school, but don't do "sexology"

Fuck back to tumblr and stop pretending you're unaffected by this because nobody here believes you're a chad. Faggot

lol ur way to mad

Honestly all Houellebecq is good but that novel especially.

>spotted the frogman

It's just funny to see people attempting to convince themselves they're any different. You're on Veeky Forums, do not pretend to be well adjusted

Am I not automatically a 'Chad' according to you half-people if I've had girlfriends?

>your on Veeky Forums so you have to think my blog is inspiring
what a QUEER

I wouldnt say Im well adjusted, but I can find and fuck attractive grills when I try. My problem is more so substance abuse and depression rather than autism or social anxiety. I imagine theres a good mix of us on Veeky Forums. although sometimes when I get really depressed and disinterested on life Im basically functionally autistic/socially anxious since Ill stop talkong to people for weeks on end and just stay in my bedroom all day (alas, I dont have one at the moment).

Nope, I've had multiple GFs. Way to misunderstand, brainlet. I don't expect anything else from you though, you misunderstand on purpose because you wish to convince yourself that you're not like that

Lad, you're literally SEETHING on the internet

Newsflash: Veeky Forums is mainstream now. You are not part of a secret club, those days are long over.

Yeah and they don't browse Veeky Forums or Veeky Forums, especially these two boards now have a retarded contrarian-contrarian strain ( anti-misogyny, anti-racism), why would anyone go on Veeky Forums and be surprised when there's racism, misogyny? They're either retards or delusional, take your pick

>Tfw have daki of my waifu and gf and we sometimes snuggle with my daki between us.
Like and sub my blog

something with anger on the internet just makes the letters themselves look pathetic. it hurts to read your post because of the way it changes ev

>changes ev
>he's so angry that he can't even finish writing his sentence and posts it by mistake

>muscular, well-endowed relaxed and (surprise!) a little beer belly
At least I'm 25% of the way there

that's good...

You're on Veeky Forums, you shouldn't be bothered by this because you should have a waifu.

This is true. My previous housemate was a handsome and confident dude (does modelling of course), I couldn't believe how much pussy he slayed through tinder. He was typically fucking 2-3 different girls every week. We lived in the city centre and he literally would refuse to drive to meet any of them. They had to be within 10-15 minutes walk of the girls had to drive over. The good part for me was he showed me all their nudes

That's kind of pathetic user.

???

how long until the 80/20 rule becomes a mainstream idea? the notion is basically bulletproof by now: a few elite CHADs fuck most women (single or not), we get the rest

the free market always sorts out like this, a few stars get the lion's share, and then the leftovers are distributed between everyone else

At least 5000 years ago, but probably earlier than that.

ITT: Triggered guys that can't get laid.

Maybe try fixing your shitty personalities.

my personality is quasi-normie i just lack the killer instinct chads have to nail anyone that shows interest

And here we have a shaming roastie. Having no alternative but moaning.

It sounds like you're deliberately holding yourself back.

>always blaming women instead of yourself
No dude. I just know how to talk to people and love flirting with women.

>Pretending to be a chad on Veeky Forums

What would that entail?

>still buying into the whole chad business
come on man, get it together

The specifics are yours. You'd have to look at yourself critically. What's keeping you from relating to a girl either
1) openly and generously to find love
2) in a fun/sexy way to get laid for the night
3) in your fucked up way that happens to match her own fucked upness
4) etc.

I don't know. I feel like I can't relate to anyone.

Laid is part of it but it extends farther than that.

You are absolutely worthless to the avearge woman as an unnatractive male if you don't act like their gay little cuck slave. Remember that twitter page that collected several thousand tweets of women saying shit outright like men below 5'10 deserve death and the likes?

Jej.

it's all about looks
all you need personality-wise is not being a total freak or socially retarded. even a mildly autistic, awkward dude will get a pass if he has good looks

A good personality isn't going to stop me from being 5'6"

>What's keeping you from relating to a girl either

They have no ability to recognize the reality of my life and view me as evil since the misery I live is utterly past their understanding unless they destroy the happy illusion they live in

A literal pedophile rapist will get a pass if he has the looks
The genie is out of the bottle

I don't know how to live with being physically repulsive in the 21st century. All I think about is committing suicide. Has anyone learned to accept it?

I have three things that keep me going
1. The knowledge I'll die eventually anyway
2. The knowledge shit is going to hit the fan globally soon
3. To spite everyone who wants me dead

escorts and drugs

Every path to self-acceptance that I can think of just leads to bitterness and resentment. I understand Shakespeare's portrayal of Richard III in a really deep and intimate way.

Is it really hidden? Your path in life is decided by the time you turn twenty, and much of it that is set the moment you are born. In the past Kings we're crowned by the pope, now we have the Ivy League, Oxbridge, and Stanford.

Before dealing with this hidden unfairness, we should address those that are in plain sight.

I would trade being a King or going to Oxford if I had any hope of a girl loving me

Those obvious injustices have been the subject of scrutiny and deconstruction for literally millennia. What are you talking about?

Because in contemporary society, this capable of providing such meaningful scrutiny and deconstruction benefit the most, this rendering it meaningless. True social change in this day and age must be anti-intellectual in character, but it must still discuss the problems we face.

Learn English you stupid spic. Nerve of these subhumans trying to talk about our economic system when they can't even form sentences

...

>changing your personality just to have sex with vapid bitches
kys, you're the one who belongs in /r9k/

personality is totally meaningless for romantic/sexual success, all that matters is looks.

they could at least try lifting i guess.

try anti-depressants. the fact is there's not much to mitigate it, you just have to live with it and not let it bother. there are people who are born unable to walk, variously disfigured and seriously disabled, etc. there's no "bright side" -- they just have to *live with it* because there's no alternative.

figure out how to minimize the time you spend in subjective despair/pain. medication might be the best way to do this. learn to stop dwelling on things that can't be changed. figure out what you enjoy doing and do more of it. find a hobby or interest that gives you things to look forward to on a regular basis.

eat well and exercise. you will just feel better, and have a better mood. don't expect this to make up for your bad looks or you will be disappointed. do it to feel better.

i've recently "gotten over it" after spending a long time in a deep, hopeless depression and this is how i did it.

>i've recently "gotten over it" after spending a long time in a deep, hopeless depression and this is how i did it.

lol you'll be back

If you:
>Don't exercise 30 minutes a day
>Drink alcohol
>Do any sort of drugs, including caffeine
>Spend all your time indoors
>Deprive yourself of sleep
>don't meditate daily

Then blaming your depression on philosophical or societal causes is premature. You're probably barking up the wrong tree. Depression has a strong physiological component.

Why do people get hung up on caffeine?

It's OK for most people but it can really hurt sensitive types and contribute to insomnia, which is very had for depression.

You've got it the wrong way around friend, I despise the world so much I actively choose to be depressed in response to it

I do all of the above and I'm still depressed. Being in a situation where you don't have any access to love and intimacy, despite living in a society that portrays it in nearly all of the media it exposes you to, causes a form of alienation that can't be reduced to a simple chemical imbalance.

Uh-huh. What do you have to lose? Is it really so preposterous to think that you could possibly be wrong about something?

honestly the thing i'm most worried about is that i'm losing weight, about 25 over the last three months, and once i get to a good body fat level and start working out to build muscle, that i'll feel like now it might be possible to attract women, and then have to come to terms all over again with the fact that it's impossible for me.

I have my dignity to lose. That I'll start becoming an effeminate lifestylist in service towards being a good quiet prisoner in this shit heap rather than rebelling and writhing to at the very least bring discomfort to those I hate and hate me

Ah I see you haven't gotten over anything, you've just suspended your dread temporarily

>I have my dignity to lose. That I'll start becoming an effeminate lifestylist in service towards being a good quiet prisoner in this shit heap rather than rebelling and writhing to at the very least bring discomfort to those I hate and hate me
Don't you think that being the object of pity is undignified?

My object is not pity, its righteous scorn

Yes but being pitied is an unfortunate consequence of your lifestyle. You can still be hated without arousing so much genuine pity (for example, Socrates and Trump are both hated much more than they are pitied.) I think if you actually could see inside peoples' minds you'd see that more people pity than hate you, since I'm guessing you don't actually do much to arouse genuine hatred, other than have opinions about things.)

Pity is a close cousin of empathy, which is what everyone craves most

Maybe if someone feels ostracized or pitied by others, trying to get on with them better, or re-integrate into their society, just seems like a further humiliation.

Thats irrelevant, I can tell you though they would pity me a lot more if they seen my little pathetic frame sweating in joggers or putting on a forced weak smile than reflecting to them the misery they know is only appropriate for my condition in life

Hang yourself

One wouldn't even need to reintegrate. You could just change your lifestyle and still deliberately avoid joining society. Hell, most of the lifestyle changes I outlined would actually make you more difficult from society, which encourages most of the unhealthy shit that makes you depressed. If you buy alcohol and coffee and crappy food then you're just buying into society's trap.

I see going through effort towards reducing pain as futile, I could just as well kill myself
What I still live for is the hope of making my pain justifiable

>Thats irrelevant, I can tell you though they would pity me a lot more if they seen my little pathetic frame sweating in joggers or putting on a forced weak smile than reflecting to them the misery they know is only appropriate for my condition in life
I think you might be wrong. I mean, you can't read peoples' thoughts. And even if you ended up being pitied more you'd almost certainly feel better because exercise is linked to better mental health. Who doesn't want to feel good? You clearly enjoy feeling good because you still engage in things that feel good. For example, hating on society feels good because it stokes your ego.

Of you can articulate your pain in ways that'll elicit empathy. Isn't that one of the purposes of art?

>What I still live for is the hope of making my pain justifiable
But how is the pain justifiable if it does nothing to hurt or help anyone? There are three scenarios:
1) you feel bad, nobody cares except you who feels mostly bad but secretly feel some weird perverse pleasure from being a victim of society
2) you try to feel good and fail, nobody cares
3) you find a way to feel good, nobody cares except you who improve your life

4) My depressed lifestyle insures a steady awareness of reality not clouded by smarmy self help rats. That my displeasure and pain is the price I pay towards a more meaningful quest of who's ends I can not know yet if it has any ends at all. That I will strive to be a messiah to whom people can not even choose to ignore

>4) My depressed lifestyle insures a steady awareness of reality not clouded by smarmy self help rats.

Ok, but if you're looking for truth, don't you think having a clear mind would be a high priority? If you're not working out, then you're not really seeing the world through clear eyes because man evolved senses that work best when housed in a healthy body. If you're physiologically unwell then you're seeing the world through tinted lenses.

Man evolved to eat, fuck and die. I don't give a shit about the hormones that made that process run smoothly
You know reality when you see it, our divergence here is a matter of faith

What is hypergamy?
What is the Pareto Principle?

I'm a normie by Veeky Forums standards, and even I think a beta uprising is justified. Women are disgusting.

>I don't give a shit about the hormones that made that process run smoothly
Except you clearly do, because you're indulging in pleasurable behaviors right now. Arguing with someone and telling yourself you're correct is a pleasurable behavior. It's a way of feeling superior which is basically a way of satiating the evolutionary mechanisms that helped your ancestors fuck women by gaining status.

And anyways, I don't think our views on reality differ that much. I actually think reality and society suck, but I recognize that if life has no inherent meaning then that means the only thing that matters is helping myself live healthy. You seem to have some sort of martyr thing going on. But what if this is a phase? After all, adolescence in males physiologically lasts through one's mid twenties. What if you end up growing out of it? What does that say about the "reality" of your viewpoint?

>but I recognize that if life has no inherent meaning

If I accepted this I would kill myself in a day and if you're truly convinced of this I recommend you do so
I go on exactly because I continue to have hope there is some reason for me to be living that is not just this pointless self referencial hedonic loop

>If I accepted this I would kill myself in a day and if you're truly convinced of this I recommend you do so

Why? Just because the meaning isn't inherent doesn't mean I can't make my own meaning? Do you have to be able to touch something with your hands and see it with your eyes for you to consider it worthwhile? Isn't soldiering on even in spite of the meaninglessness of life more manly than giving in? Since this is Veeky Forums I will recommend this book, which I think you should read before dismissing the idea that meaning must be 'real' like a platonic form to be worth pursuing (if you just dismiss the book based off the wikipedia description, then please leave Veeky Forums because people here should actually read books.) I will read any book you suggest if that helps satisfy your sense of justice. Gentleman's agreement. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man's_Search_for_Meaning

Stealing this for my novel, thanks

>just because life isn't worthwhile doesn't mean you can't arbitrarily pretend it is

Imbecile

I hope it felt good to insult me. Because you really hurt my feelings by rejecting the book I suggested. Can you at least recommend me a book to help make me less of an imbecile?

This is the literature board, after all.

I think you're underestimating the sex problem. If the prospect of passing on your genes (which is the biological imperative of all life) isn't on the table, then I don't see how you can possibly be happy. Fucking is nearly as fundamental as eating.

But I haven't had sex in years and I've been feeling better and better each year. While this isn't how the majority of people feel, there has been a sizable contingent of ascetics in most civilizations who seem to have had very fulfilling lives.

And some cucks seem really happy too, the question is whether you ought to feel bad

Ascetics live in a world of restraint, not unfulfilled desire. Most also lived in a time where prostitution was everywhere and the ability to have sex was never an issue, AND their media wasn't constantly reminding them of what they were missing out on through hypersexualization.

Well, I believe that God endorses the celibate life. Given that you seem to think there is an objective right/wrong is/ought, what do you think the source is, if not God?

When it comes down to it, I think I should've been a Jew. I have manipulated every girl I've slept with by presenting myself as something I am not. When Playboy was still big, I'd visit college campuses with a big camera around my neck telling girls I was a photographer. They were so vapid I guess the idea of thousands of men masturbating to their image, worshipping them, turned them on. I'd take on average five pictures, three if they were liberal art majors, and we'd fuck.

I fucked up when I got married. I could've had hundreds of girls but they gave it up so easily. But my wife was different. She wasn't that hot, never went to college, but she was an Iberian redhead and a virgin. It took me 6 months to finally fuck her. Unfortunately I knocked her up and married her. Once the illusion of virginity was gone I could finally see that she was fucking crazy. I've got a daughter now and she's probably like all the rest of her kind. Shit sye probably hates herself because of me and her mother. I just perpetuated the cycle.

>AND their media wasn't constantly reminding them of what they were missing out on through hypersexualization.
So don't buy a TV? Don't watch YouTube? The solution is REALLY easy.

It's nearly all music, most literature, most film. Media that portrays romantic love is all around us

I'm a 5'11" 135lb arab who fucks girls on tinder on a weekly basis, ask me how easy this shit is
