How has your social life been affected by lifting?

How has your social life been affected by lifting?

0x0=0 meme for me :)

still shit

People treat me better in general. More kind, more respectful, more playful, more smiling, everything.

Then again, I used to be the weird nerdy kid with shit hair, backne that made a girl scream and shy away once, no real popular friends and too much of a martial arts obsession and good grades.

>People actually listen to me when I talk
>At bars I spread crazy ideologies about the government from /pol/ and they all nod their head in agreement
>I am being disrespectful towards women because they are useless cunts who contributes nothing to a conversation and still for some reason they want to suck my dick
>Sink deeper and deeper into anger

...

why do you keep fucking asking
why don't you lurk the fuck more you fucking robot

Lifting takes away from social life, but not for reasons you think. You probably think it's because you spend more time on yourself, needing to eat specific foods to hit your macros, or not wanting to drink.

But that isn't it, that isn't it at all. There's something that getting under that barbell and squatting 200kg does to your mind and body that just changes you from society. You're chasing after something 99.99% of society goes their whole life avoiding, people want to be comfortable and not have to expend any unnecessary energy. Thus, lifting actually puts even more distance between you and society as a whole.

You can't relate to people who are always looking for the easy way out. Even small things as taking the elevator or the stairs. People will all rush to the elevator like its gold, while I'll just casually walk the stairs. Do you see what I am saying here? For me walking up a few flight of stairs is nothing, but for 99.99% of society it's hell, even if they can do it without any problem, their mind tells them to avoid the hard way.

I honestly started lifting in order to try and get closer to society and maybe try relate me to them, but in the end I've realized it's actually put me at an even further distance than I was before I started.

It may seem like lifting/fitness is this big thing that everyone does, but in reality it's an extremely small percentage of people. The fitness industry in of itself is a fucking niche market.

I get where you are coming from, but I caution you at giving up on people to quickly. People are probably more open minded and reliant than it sounds like you are giving them credit for.

the fact is most people are busy most of the time. But when you do cross paths with someone it is worth being decent.

eh more getting more respect but nothing much really

fuck yeah!

Just drop the self hating "autist" shit and you will be a real winner in life.

> we are all just dumb monkeys trying to get to fuck eachother and get to the top of hills

The supplement industry is bretty big though, thats why everyone shills them.
Nobody does fitness cos you cant make much money if any at all off it for the hard work you put in.
But i understand. Im a chef, my job is one of the worst in the world. Shit pay, long hours, hard exacting work and little room for error. Yet everyone dreams to open their own restaurant or something

>neet before
>neet after

nothing changed

I'm not actually self-hating, I just don't want to take myself too seriously plus it's funny.

>The supplement industry is bretty big though, thats why everyone shills them.

the bodybuilding broscience supplement industry is literally non-existent compared to the dr oz mom science supplement industry.

how did you get rid of backne

god I hate the uncooked chicken tits look

just tan topless you pussy

accurate af

Tan lines are the best thing on a /fit chick. Perfection. I love pale tits and ass. Hnnnng

deep shit bro i feel it

I'm probably just going to pay an escort to sit on my face.

Got lucky I guess. Dropped all chocolate, sugary drinks and upped my hygiene in general. Drank more water. Backne disappeared entirely by the time I was 19.

I'm sure your mum will be proud user

>more men checking me out
>skinny women seem intimidated
>fat women look at me with a mixture of jealousy and disgust
>tfw living the hardbody lifestyle

Been losing weight and working out, which makes me feel a lot more confident lately. Think a girl showed some interest in my yesterday, but she might just have been fucking around. My autism levels are too high to judge clearly

Everyone says sorry from a mile away and backs away when I'm walking towards them, girls are smiling awkwardly.

>autism

It disappeared because it was a hormonal thing and you grew up.

I'm an aesthetic cunt and 5 years lifting here. This is literally 100% all true.

This guy is probably one of the only few people in this thread I actually believe has made it, due to the fact he pointed out my exact experiences with becoming aesthetic.

strangers react better, nice bantz with almost everyone I meet, grills flirt with me, etc.

friends distanced themselves and even mock me sometimes

>guy

>tfw 19, soon to be 20 and backne is still around

>>At bars I spread crazy ideologies about the government from /pol/ and they all nod their head in agreement

kek this

i wouldn't have dared do it a few years ago but now people either agree or very mildly disagree, but are polite about it. the obvious leftist beta males are clearly agitated by what i'm saying but never dare to say anything.

When I walk past women they usually make eye contacts and quickly look away and look at their phone or adjust their clothes/hair.

T-that means they're mirn', r-right?

no, dick or chest contact (if wearing a tight shirt) would mean they're mirin'

>tfw 21 with cystic acne on face and back
>minocycline works to eliminate face acne but bacne has left so much scarring it's never going to get better
Virgin at 21 fucking kms

>tfw didnt have bacne until I was 19

im pretty sure its my fucking military uniform, having to wear a tight tucked in undershirt with the blouse over it sweating balls all day. I didn't have it until I had to wear that shit

the only solution is accutane, bacnebro

Well still, I am sure fit looking people in general know what we experience.

Not him, but I had it wayyy bad and went to a dermatologist. They gave me some pill and it cleared it up in like 2 weeks. 100%.

I say a few words to some people when I go to the gym compared to when I say nothing to anyone but family when I stay at home all day. That's it so far desu

what pill? accutane?

I'm also 19 and have had it since I think 7th or 8th grade. Fortunately I almost never get any acne on my face though. I got a brush thing that I started using a couple weeks ago in the shower to scrub my back with an acne cleanser and it seems to have improved slightly

the gym is my work, I barely socialize outside, but the friends I have aren't cancer and can at least tolerate my sense of humor. being a teetotaler aids this

good work

just fucking go to a derm, it's literally THAT simple, dermatologists specialize in that sort of shit, just do like go to a derm and he'll give you shit to beat the fuck out of your disgusting acne ridden body

quick question, Veeky Forums, would you fuck a former fatty that now looked like OP pic?
Reminder, the body is now full of horrible deep stretch marks that will never go away

>tfw a girl likes you

The biggest change is that confidence.

>I can talk to anyone if I want to
>I am nearly always the first to make a move in a group
>I pretty much rule rooms now without even trying
>I finally don't try to rationalize girl's mires away
>still sperg out as soon as I feel they might be interested

Making alpha progression but am still an autist in regards to dating.

yes. I'd literally fuck anything that isn't obese.
And obese chicks with cute faces and huge tits.

Yes. Remember, if you look good in clothes that's like 99% of the battle. What's a guy gonna do, see you strip and excuse himself out of the room?
I personally wouldn't mind stretch marks at all. If you were once fat but are tight now, that shows some major discipline!

Women are friendlier to me now and touch my shoulders. Once an old woman announced to grab my pecs, but she tried to recruit an accomplice from the audience (it was a workshop on voice and she said she'd like to feel the vibration from my chest) which denied, so she didn't dare without this additional social backup. A very female way to set this all up I think.

But women being friendlier is a huge plus in my female-dominated work environment (health care). Except that quite some of the female doctors are single at 30 and above, and some of those are bitter towards me without knowing me. I think it's a bit like reverse r9k misogyny.

>I finally don't try to rationalize girl's mires away
Explain

people are friendly for seemingly no reason

whereas before I was invisible

it's odd to see in all honesty, I mean I didnt do shit yet people are nice

this pic makes me happy. it reminds me of being at a beach house and getting ready to go out swimming after breakfast.

except i'm not a hot grill

I used to tell my self that no one could be attracted to me, even when the signs where obvious.
When you turn down seeing a girl in underwear or play it off when hearing your crush wants to date you from her best friend you've got real problems.

t-thanks but pretty sure I'm gonna die a virgin

>I barely socialize outside, but the friends I have aren't cancer and can at least tolerate my sense of humor
i know that feel mang
although I don't understand why do they tolerate me, and i firmly believe I'll never figure it out

the sole downside is the fact that our social circle has access only to mediocre looking chicks

>ITT: people realize that, overall, almost everyone they actually interact with in real life is nice
>they somehow attribute that to them being Veeky Forums


every fucking time

>mfw thinking of you dying a virgin
we're all gonna make it. Believe me.

>people realize that, overall, almost everyone they actually interact with in real life is nice

not if you have an ugly face

you dont realize how much you get ignored when you are fat I guess

it's literally a different world if you are fit

>gives me an edge in social situations, but only for so long

soon after they start talking to me my cover slips

because before none of us had the confidence to talk to anyone.

Also there are a lot of Stacys and Chads that will only accept people they deem attractive enough

Keep your sheets clean bro

Now when I get drunk I talk about lifting and darksouls.

Still no friends and no bf 10 months later, kill me

It's had absolutely no effect, positive or negative.

Caught a grill giving me a long, hard look yesterday in my peripherals when I was ordering a beer at the pub last night.

Then I went and sat by myself in a corner and watched the hockey game.

No one gave a fuck about me when I was a skelly and no one gives a fuck about me now.

Anyone that is ugly duckling will understand. People suddenly see you as a person.

i had a bit of a social life before i started lifting. five years later and i have no social life. i'm much happier now

No way, tanlines are great. White breasts show that really hot girl is actually extremely fair-skinned and racially pure; she's just outside frequently doing stuff, even if it's just on a blanket or beach chair. Plus, she has enough modesty and chasteness that she won't just brazenly expose herself like a public whore...but not enough modesty that she refuses to wear swimwear.

/pol/ is leaking again.

I dont care what it shows, it doesnt make my dick hard

>21 with cystic acne on face and back
>bacne has left so much scarring it's never going to get better

25 here knowing that feel. Let us wallow together in self pity.

My fellow appreciator of tan lines. You da man.

I won't lie: girls who have genes that show they are fair-skinned are more intelligent, compassionate and generally more attractive. And not just physically. Her great-grandparents, her grandparents, her parents all had children with people in their same class/race (likely married couples); this shows her upbringing clearly favored staying inside her social group and standing while discouraging interaction with those outside of it. As a similarly fair-skinned person, noticing her fair-skin aside from her tan, I can see she's been conditioned to be attracted to me already and has similar values (at least more similar than some hoodrat). The courting process would be easier and more successful.

its nice that you want everyone to know about your misery, but why bother posting user besides attention?

Post pics and receive positive feedback from Veeky Forums

Don't be sad user, you go and have great experiences. I was considered really cute and hot in my pre-teens, but started unconsciously gaining weight and trying to make myself look uglier because the kind of attention I was getting was making me really really uncomfortable.
Trying to protect myself, I guess.
But then I decided any potential health problems from being unhealthy was not really worth it. And now, I feel like though I have so much to give, I never will. Shit, sorry to be such a downer in such a positive thread.

I do believe at least you will make it, user. And I'm really glad for everyone else. Kinda proud of you guys

Sauce?

Ot: lifting gives me a bit more confidence which has got to have social benefits. There are easier ways to improve your appearance though - get a haircut, use cologne, but a decent outfit. Lifting should primarily be a personal challenge/pursuit.

>source is literally on her arm

I see what you mean, but I don't think it takes away from your social life, It's just your role that is changing. As you start to get fit, become more social, and do well in your career the necessary ambiguity in the social order starts to disappear. You can't relate to their problems as much, as you have already overcome them, and they can't relate to your problems, because they wish they had your problems. It is now obvious that you 'outrank' them.

At this point you either can accept the leadership position, or must leave the social group for people more like yourself. Leaving is usually what has to be done, because people don't like to see someone who was at their level rise above them. Things won't stay they way they were, you have changed, and so the social dynamic must change. If you will pretend you are still the same old guy then it will insult them, they will know that you are just pandering to them to appease their ego, which ironically just reinforces the fact that you have a higher group status. It will also make them feel uneasy, because they are all expecting you to become more of a leader and by not doing so you make the pecking order unstable, and people REALLY don't like uncertainty in the social order. If a high value person is at their level, then that might mean they will be demoted soon, so like I said they usually try to force you out of the group, or tear down your accomplishments.

It's not always so bleak though, sometimes they embrace the higher status you've gained and everything is fine. If they are healthy people who push themselves this is usually the case. If they are a part of the depressed hoi polloi then the other options happen.

lifting is probably the best thing you can do solo

not having a social life is pretty great for gains

>t. /pol/ virgin neet

Yes, a lot.

I still don't have a girlfriend, i don't have more friends but it helped a lot :

First : I'm more confident, A LOT MORE, i can small talk with anyone without being awkward, i engage conversation with stranger when i feel like it, just because it feels good to talk to people, i don't have any social anxiety now.

Second : My body look better, it's clearly not the best, but from time to time i get mires from girls and they touch me.

Lifting isn't the only factor, i started to meditate and hang out more with my friends.

It didn't. For that I would have to have one in the first place.

Sto with the confident bullshit

you feel more confident because people allow you to be

they don't treat you like shit anymore

you're not more confdient, else you wouldn't be on this board, you'd actually pursue your dreams

being surrounded by new and regular people at the gym, and getting to know people at work; has made me a lot less anxious to meet new people over the last 3 years
but i still don't know how to talk to a lot of them, like i legit don't know 'how' rather than just being nervous
so not a huge difference

Whites are smarter than non whites. Not revolutionary.

>tfw everyone thinks I'm a smart white person when I'm really just a dumb Sami.

How do girls get this soft, smooth skin?

unscented baby powder, or stuff they buy at beauty stores that is essentially unscented baby powder but sold as something else

Checked

By never having to work a day in their lives. STACY will date you and you will BUY STACY things and while you're out shopping for STACY, she's eating PIZZA while CHAD eats her PUSSY.

>CHAD will always WIN in the end because he has FACE FRAME HEIGHT
