Who here is lifting for a special grill, an ex, for revenge, or to be more attractive for their future grill?

>doing the same thing
>girl shows interest
>get occasional compliments from other guys but definitely have not made it yet

FUUUCK

THIS IS TOO EARLY

>Alex Jones
So you believe that fluoride in the water is turning the frogs gay then, user?

I want a girl who looks like a cartoon character, so it is only fair that I look like a cartoon character myself.

I've Been lifting for about 5 years... natty, decent physique... I had a fat gf she was 5'7 and around 190lbs (project fattie just because she was blonde I have low self stem ).. she dumped me because she wanted to travel and was not ready for a committed relationship, I feel so bad right now beacuse I think i have achieved my natural limit and I don't think I can do more to make her regret her decision.

Fuck off, heaven

beginning of my Veeky Forums life is here
wanna look better for future grills and bc I don't like how I look, maybe if the opportunity appears I'll show off to my ex once I get a bit better looking

but I need some help, I'm probably like, skinny fat at the moment, I mainly want to get rid of fat around my hips and stomach first, how would you guys suggest I do that? I was thinking going for jogs daily and sit ups would help? what do lads?

This

>natural limit
Sleep more and train harder, user. You're going to make it but you have to try harder.

Do it for yourself, and don't lose focus.

good job letting that bitch knowing whos the boss.
but god damn man, that could have been EASY prime puss, you should be ashamed

I am

My ex, but she already though I was hot despite being in ottermode. Trying to gain a bit more mass and cut so I can be hotter. Maybe get an amateur MMA fight of mine taped and upload it on FB.

Her current boyfriend is an unfit balding numale, so it shouldn't be hard looking better in contrast. Giving myself a year to transform, I want to blow him out of the water.

The situation is complicated, so I'll only go in detail if asked to. Said my story on Veeky Forums a few times so you might recognize me.

This is actually very good video, hope Veeky Forums autists realize this shit

>going back at your ex

No one gives a shit about you, your motivation has to come from yourself.

coming back at your ex sounds satisfying when you think about it, but when you do it you realize you're a huge manchild, I disrespect zyzz and the whole " i shrugged my ex off and it felt so good" story for this type of shit, it shows that deep down you're wanting their approval and that you're insecure

I lift because I have a beautiful face but a shitty body

I lift so that one day i may have the 3D equivalent of my 2D waifu.

>mfw

This is the most autistic thing ever you'll ever hear but I lift to feel closer to humanity. The strive for physical excellence has been conducted since the dawn of time. The Romans, The Greeks, every single culture throughout humanity prided the perfection of the mind and body. Whenever I run, I think of a cohort of Legionaries marching in rank, whenever I lift, I think of Plato repping out that heavy shit.. Lifting makes me feel like the men of old, especially in this emasculated society. Lifting for your ancestors is the purest thing there is.

...

Go in detail bro

If that's true, then gratz my man. Just try to never become an asshole.

Well I kinda want to clear stuff up. I've been lifting even before I was dating my ex. Browsing Veeky Forums made me feel like a DYEL/otter but to her I guess I was hot. But I guess I'm just even more motivated. Anyway...

>best fried of 5 years
>date her for 2
>best relationship ever because we almost never argue and get along so well
>break up as distance becomes an issue
>still love her
>she finds another guy after 6 months
>she sends me a long message telling me she is sorry and knows this hurts me, how this is hard for her, not to blame myself, she wants me to be happy, how she still considers me her best friend, etc.
>about to beg for her to give us another chance but realize that will do more harm than good
>call her after a couple of days
>ask her to block me
>tell her I'll talk to her again one day when I'm ready
>we both are holding back tears and hang up

So yeah. Having a good body isn't going to make much of a difference but when I talk to her again, I want to blow her away and every little detail counts. I want a better body, explore relationships with other women to see if she was "the one" and to help pass the time (I'm not gonna be sad over her while she gets dicked without my fair share of pussy), pick up MMA and do a couple fights, learn skills, make money and be more social.

Maybe this journey will lead me to someone else, but for now she is who I want. If the relationship ended because of compatibility issues then I'd probably not bother, but she was perfection to me. I have one shot at life and I won't settle for anything less than what I find perfect. Not without trying anyway. I'll have the money to fix distance after graduating, but it all depends on her. If and when the oppurtunity comes I'm taking it.

Don't lift for chicks. To hookup sure whatever, but don't expect to gain the girl of your dreams because of your body. It's a good first impression to have a nice body, but that's all it really is. I lift and diet because I wake up every morning and don't like what I see in myself each and every day. I know damn well I can do much better and that's the reason I bust my ass everyday. Gaining the approval of others is bullshit. Your approval on yourself should be the only thing that matters.

that was beautiful

> lift for revenge, it was an amazing fuel, but my rage has faded as the man who wronged me became irrelevant
> lift for that one special grill, but she found somebody better than me in every aspect (smarter, taller, better looking ...)
> lift to forget and was actually successful in that one
> lift to look better as to attract pretty girls, but I don't give a fuck anymore
> lift to be best version of myself, anything else is just plain garbage

Way to go mah nigga.
Im about in the same spot as you and have a similar plan to yours. Thanks for the motivation.

I think you, like most people, misapprehend how attraction works, and are also hypocritical about it.

When you listed the things you like about this girl--laugh, smile, looks solid 8/10. Literally just being a hot girl who you got along with somewhat and she gave you the time of day. That is the only thing you liked about her, looks + kinda getting along with and spending time with. She had BOTH parts of this fundamental attraction equation covered, you only had one, so it didn't work out.

Then when you come back and you have BOTH covered, she was attracted to you. It is not because she was shallow and ONLY liked you for your looks, it is because now BOTH fundamental requirements were in place. You are literally mad at her because she followed the basic human principles of how attraction and romance happen. Society teaches people that personality can be the only thing you need so you wanted her to accept you as a romantic partner when she did not find you physically attractive but that is basically fucking impossible.

Mah nigga. I want a girl who can't buy bras at retail stores because her tits are too epic, and has a 0.5 waist-to-hip ratio. I know girls like all types of guys but in my mind being over-the-top masculine is the best way to get an over-the-top feminine woman. And a woman grabbing my huge muscles is just part of my ideal sexual experience, and she can't do that if they're not huge.

While I do think there is wisdom in not lifting for others, I think as long as it is just one of many reasons you are bettering yourself then spite, jealousy, being a hopeless romantic, whatever, are all fine. If imagining your ex seeing you after all this time and coming on to you so you can reject her gets you to push out that last rep, go ahead and keep doing it.

Personally I lift because I want to be unstoppable in as many ways as possible. I want to go out on adventures and not have to worry about any physical limitations stopping me. Whether it be if I decide I want to climb a mountain, or do some modeling, or beat up some dudes who are trying to attack someone, I know it will not be my body limiting my options.

I also fear aging. Many people reach retirement and their bodies are too broken down for them to enjoy the freedom they otherwise would have. A good body brings you freedom that you don't appreciate until you don't have it. I may one day not have that freedom but I can at least say it was not because I did not do everything I could.

Also, when you look better, everything's easier. People just assume you have your shit together and give you the benefit of the doubt rather than trying to find flaws in everything you do.

youtube.com/watch?v=HiqmZLOaD8o

No problem! There days where I lose hope but the uncertainty of the future keeps my optimistic. Wish you the best too

>That being said, I haven't gotten laid once since I started lifting years ago.

basically fucking this

Here's your logic:
>I really liked her look and appearance
>I "fell in love"
>She eventually liked my look and appearance too
>But I denied that bitch 'cause that shit's superficial

get it fucking together

If it means anything. My ex came back to me after 5 years but I found someone better. Its good that you aren't and didn't wallow in pity. Best of luck m8

...

I lift for her

You need water filters to get rid of the fluoride. That's the key.

>her

>She wants to get together with me but I decline
Pic is her. Tongue and nipple piercing. Squirter.

Ever pull fucking monstrous weight in the gym and notice how no one gives a fuck?

Now the flip the situation, imagine you're watching someone lift heavy. You're not going to stare and gawk. Likewise, your ex already knows her life is shit. She's got more to worry about than not seeing your abs.

I lift for my daughter
>When her teen friends get flustered around hot dad mode
>When boyfriend respects me and can bond at the gym to keep him on the straight and narrow
>When taking personal responsibility for my health and welfare has set a good example and daughter laughs at haes feminists
Feels good man

Just got played after talking to a girl for 2 months, i went to her house and hooked up with her and just found out she went to a party and got drunk and made out and danced on a bunch of guys while we were still talking. I'm sick of lying to myself and being proud when in reality I want to crawl back to her like a beta bitch but I always pretend like I don't care and just keep lifting.

how olds your daughter?

This man speaks the truth.

I lift for myself, but mostly because it's the best anti-depressant I have found.

But I won't lie getting those messages from my ex about her having sex dreams about me feel pretty good.

I completely understand where you guys are coming from and yes I would happily get into a relationship with this girl as you stated because I was both physically and emotionally attracted to her. There's a lot more to the story between this girl and I, especially surrounding the rejection I got when I did ask her out beforehand. I won't get into the details but it involved her apparently mocking me behind my back. I'm going to continue focusing on myself and improving my life and if I find someone special along the way so be it, but I will never reciprocate feelings to another person because I am now useful to them.

holy shit, someone made the goat time picture tnto something so much more that words cant even describe it

Pancakeass/10

Fuckin legendary my man
Reminds me of the story of Ted Bundy getting a bachelors degree, being politically successful, completely changing his life because a girl he loved dumped him. They met again and she agreed to get married and then he just never talked to her again kek.

The romans also worshiped small dicks, so...

I lift simply for myself, women are on the backburner. you can't get a woman just by having nice physique.

This.

Brought a tear to my eye
Beautiful user

I don't lift for anyone except me cause I'm a narcissist and like to look at myself in the mirror while looking bigger and stronger.

sleep tight doggo

Gf of around 3 years and I broke up last night. Even though it has only been roughly 24 hours it's still really sad and emotionally draining. Haven't felt this empty in a long time. Anyone going through the same? How are you coping? I'm here for you and try to remember, we're all gonna make it.

bump for curiosity

Girl who sucked muh dick and said she doesn't have enough time for a bf brought around a dude who she couldn't stop kissing to a party couple days ago. Was also the only one who fell asleep without a girl in my arms ;_;

Its Do what I did and tell her to block you. Believe it or not, you being in her life will only be worse and it also stops you from having the option to unblock her. Whether you want her back or not, you gotta move forward at least instead of wallowing in self pity.

You are literally me. Where from?
>a gift that I can give to someone that I will love more than I've ever loved myself. I haven't met this girl yet, have no idea who she is, what she will even be like, or when I will find her; but, she is what gets me out of bed early
Do you read one piece?

This

Also to show everyone im better than them in at least one thing

Exercising makes you gain muscle where you are exercising but not lose weight there. I can tell you are new and haven't read the sticky and you should go do that. Running will help you lose fat from everywhere but its not that simple. Best advice I can give to you if you don't read the sticky is to just lower your calories first and foremost. Good luck user

Holyshit user. Can I ss this?

she couldnt look you in the eye, user.

you had already won.

Sleep tight doggo

sleep tight doggo

Broke up with my ex of 6 years two months ago. I'm still empty after that, but things will get better in the future user. For now just try to focus on yourself, go hard in the gym and get some hobbies. I started to play Magic with the locals in my city and it's fun as fuck, I'm planning to maybe learn how to swim and play bass too.

tl;dr forget bitches and be a superman.

I lift so I can see myself in the mirror and feel good about it
I think your sex life won't change much if you have no game
Having good looks and posture definitely boosts your confidence tho

>for a future girl
I lift for my future daugther. I want to be her bear daddy, who can protect her from every shit.
+my gf likes it

there are a lot of awesome girls.
Those dudes are right, but you should not fixate your life on this girl. Move on and you will be fine.
Good luck!

this
lowering calorie intake will generally be enough to get rid of the bodyfat but lifting at the same time will stop you just ending up skinnyfat hopefully
good luck my man

as an incel i'm only lifting as the last final fuck you to the world

suicide ain't my stallion so i'll just get ridiculously jacked

We're not together again, but I like her, she likes me, and we're cool when we're together, hard to explain. I don't even know what will happen, but I don't care much. I'm getting stronger, meeting new girls, have money, a car, I'm close to getting my dream job, and will be moving to my own place next february. It's not like only lifting made my life better, but the confidence it gives certainly helps, a lot.

I want her back again, think we can now have a serious relation. Still haven't talked seriously with her about this situation, but I will soon. Hope things go good, who knows tho.

I lifted for myself but it helps when trying to qt 3.14.
I found qt 3.14 , now we lift together.
Feels good

I'm still not aesthetic but I feel like I'm making it. T-thanks Veeky Forums.

I'm lifting to look good, my face is looking atleast above avarage but I'm 5 ft 10, it hurts like hell

I've told this story before, I think.

I had a 'curvy' tumblr trash girlfriend that threatened to kill herself every week in order to get what she wanted from me, and, being the beta orbiter I was, I stayed by her side for hours on end to make sure she was okay. My grades dropped, I started stress eating, and I was generally a paranoid, nervous, wreck.

But I stayed by her anyways because I thought, 'fuck it, this is the only pussy I'm ever gonna get, probably. I have to hold onto it.'

And then, she dumped me because of an apparent lack of emotional support.

I want to be better, now. I want to improve in life, so I never feel trapped again. I never, ever, want to feel like I need to stay in a shitty situation for the rest of my life because that's the best I can do. It's not just about getting good quality pussy anymore, it's about living an awesome, comfortable, life without regrets.

I wish you all the best of the best amigos mios

Todos vamos a lograrlo.

And it was probably the confidence that won her over... and not the biceps.

Please be serious, if I have a good face and have avarage height, will I achieve chad genetics eventually?

I look after myself and lift for that moment 5 years down the line when I bump into someone I used to know and they look like shit while I look great. I also keep in shape in case I end up single tomorrow. I doubt we will break up but if we do I know I'll be looking good and ready to enter the dating pool.

>so much bigger since she saw me last
You should have pulled a "you too".

You tell me

If she mocked you it reveals her true thoughts about you. She would never respect you.
