/sig/ - self improvement general

Thanks man, ive been down with the flu lately and havent been able to to a lot of stuff apart from shitposting so when i get better ill take your advice.

>tfw fwb found Veeky Forums
>tfw feel threatened instead of impressed
what if i actually have to put in effort now.

Np you've just got to fall into a positive spiral instead of a negative one. Just keep yourself busy and you'll find your recovery will be quicker than you thought. Things will get easier the longer you do them

Enjoy the upcoming bants lad

This guy is cool as ice

Watch this guys videos on youtube and see how friendly and positive and social he is with everyone he interacts with, even complete strangers

>always been witty and had good game with chicks, just had confidence issues so rarely got laid
>start working out
>get bigger
>people notice me more
>see girl i know from the past
>meet up with her and some other people
>she literally asks to fuck me
>i oblige

uh.. so did i make it?

my next goal is to have 3 girls as fwb at once

>she literally asks to fuck me

How did she say it? What was the situation?

Had sex with the 3rd girl this week last night. I don't even know how many girls I've fucked at this point. Craziest part is I lost my virginity only a year and a half ago at the age of 19 and I used to be a huge loser. Ask me anything

Why do you use this website? Im not meming, i am just curious why you still do after making it.

Whenever I want some quality bants but I don't feel like hanging out with anyone (like now because I'm hungover) I'll go on here. Also I've actually learned a shitload through Veeky Forums, it was even here I started figuring out about online marketing which led me to start my own business, I learned about fitness, I learned how to become better socially etc. and I was given tons of resources for self improvement on here. Veeky Forums has actually enriched my life more than I ever thought possible, so I keep coming back.

just be yourself if you want someone to truly love you. be a over-confident prick if you want to get who you want.

What made you "snap" and changed your life? Was it discipline or willpower that got you through?

I guess I was just tired of living a boring normal life and I just decided I'm gonna try to get the most out of it. Sure, turning your life around from being a loser to being someone who truly excels in all major areas of life required some discipline and willpower at times but mostly I just had fun with the process learning as much as possible and seeing myself improve and achieve success.

YES YES GOYIM. GO MARRY HER AND HAVE CHILDREN. WHEN DIVORCE COMES AROUND, I HAVE LAWYERS LINED UP TO TAKE CARE OF YOU AND MAKE YOUR LIFE HAPPY.

Post your routine to make it, books, lifts, etc.
Maybe that'll get the thread rolling

Second this, would love to see it

talk to girls, make a friends with girls

Talk to them

Come on lads, we know it's not that straightforward. Those are good memes but we don't want anyone falling for either of them.
Focusing on improving yourself like
can pay off, but most of us want to raise a family some day. Obviously in these times you need to be extra careful to not get fucked by the law, so you've got to do what's best for you

patience.

i could learn something here.
who is that?

What changed?

Is that really good advice if he wants to eventually have sex with them?

I think I'm gonna go as this for my next Halloween costume.

should i spent money i dont have on a really good instrument i've been pining for?

its on sale

its the last one at the store

What is the instrument?

some synth from the 80s

looks neat

If you can already play it and are certain you'll make the most of it, I'd say go for it. I wouldn't recommend anything that costs more than $600 to anyone who's brand new or anything less than certain about it.

The final solution to the divorce question is to ask a prospective female about her father.

>single mother = trash
>bad relationship with father = trash
>holds contradictory views about father without realizing it = trash

That eliminates 70% of the garbage out there. Here's some more filters to narrow your search for quality wife material.

>wears yoga pants in public = trash
>has any non traditional piercings = trash
>unnatural hair color = trash
>wears noticeable amounts of makeup = trash

Now you can basically filter out all inferior quality women on sight. You're welcome.

I always run out of stuff to say or get way too serious with women. How the fuck do I cope with their shallowness and sometimes even childlike mentality?

I have no real issues in approaching women, 'cause I look fairly well but I usually fuck it up after 5mins of conversation

Forgot to add

>has any tattoos = trash

You're saying don't marry anyone, ever?

FWIW I agree with this conclusion

Its entirely possible that you're just talking with boring women.

Now where did I say that?

Or maybe it's me that's boring? I've noticed though that if I tell a story with more passion and intonation in my voice and gestures, women are more interested.

But that being said, I always fail to give the conversation a more sexual, teasing vibe

Yeah I'm kinda jealous of Christians in that sense, that's pretty much the only place English speaking girls exist. But unfortunately I see even some of their "traditional" ones choose to fall happily into almost all those categories
Also
>final solution
Subtle kek /pol/ack

Making friends with women is normally utterly futile as a guy. Imagine if you'd entertain that stuff from your boys.

But I don't intend to make female friends

alright good advice

I just finished my first week of work ever

Being a wageslave is already a pain but at least being broke won't stop me from eating enough to get big anymore, and I might start a martial art

Also there's a cute girl working there and I'm doing my best to kill my feelings because I know I'm a fuck up with women and nipping my attraction for her in the bud is probably the best thing to do. I'm going full autismo and thinking about her daily though so it'll be tough

It puts me in a weird place being an atheist. Not sure how I'm going to square that circle...

You're like me 1 week in the future, I need to get a job and start training something.
I can relate to the autismo bro, I found lifting and watching the neet anime to help me try and forget about her. But you really should just start talking to people more
Iktf i want a girl who isn't just going through the motions but i don't want to sacrifice my humanity and pretend to believe in something i don't.

casey neistat

Being always "on" is not necessarily a good thing, though you're right, maybe you're just boring. I can't possibly know because I'm not there. But I prefer to work from the assumption that I am right. For example, I define myself as an interesting person, so any woman that isn't interested in me is probably a boring person because boring people are interested in boring things.

Though that only works if you're not a turbo autist, so take it with a grain of salt.

i have a pretty severe forearm tendonitis - forearm swells up whenever i try to lift/curl anything heavier than a glass of water

how the fuck do i keep my fitness up while recovering and not lifting? i tried to keep doing legs, but i can't load the fucking bar for squats, and going to the gym and doing the machine leg press feels meme-ish

any ideas? i'm feeling pretty down

i was thinking HIIT bike cardio + some abs 3-4 times per week, and some LISS cardio in the evenings (tryina cut so i should keep doin cardio)

Yeah, I should talk to more girls. I rarely meet new girls so even if I'm not as shy and awkward as I used to be, a modicum of attention from a woman and I develop a bad case of oneitis. I'm already in full "what did she mean by this?" mode

Here's a white pill bro. If laci green can be brought back to sanity from whatever Cthulhu realm she was in, that means it's not impossible to get a slightly left of center girl to shift significantly rightward. Women might be far more "fixable" than I ever imagined.

>what did she mean by this mode
FUCK I know that all to well bro, keep lifting and don't break the cycle of positivity. It hurts but you've got to let her fall for you first, otherwise she never will.

I don't really have any interest in that stuff, but her being an ex-mormon (might have) meant she wasn't a total whore as therefore somewhat fixable. Even her weird sex ed videos were constructive and intended to help

>>has any non traditional piercings = trash
You mean "traditional piercings" as in piercings that are normal in her culture or what?

These threads are pure teen cringe.

Have you talked to any?

>blaming women for neglectful and/or abusive fathers

Little harsh, don't you think?

I imagine the pathetic slob that wrote this post

As in one in each earlobe because so many people pierce their children's ears its worth making a distinction.

Nope. People base their relationship off of their parents relationship, specifically with the parent of the opposite sex. Bad relationship with father = bad relationship with you.

You literally have no evidence for this claim

I'm always weirdly jealous and have the stereotypical 'crazy' chick inside of me. I don't want to be this way, it ruins all my friendships. How can I handle my emotions and bad thoughts better?

...

Girls hang out with other girls. The more exposure you have to women the better your chances.

>self-improvement
>doing something for women and not yourself

exactly fucking THIS. it's a numbers game. the more girls that see you/talk to you, the more you'll interact with that are actually interested.

YOURE NOT GONNA MEET ANYONE ON FUCKING Veeky Forums SHITPOSTING IN UR MUMS BASEMENT

You should consider meditation, I posted the starting sit image above. Apart from that I'd just advise you to take things more slowly. Try to focus on your breathing instead of reacting quickly, try to smile when you feel like you're starting to lose it.

I've found that lifting for aesthetics and bettering yourself are great motivators but thinking about grils is sometimes unavoidable. Honestly I think that's fine but when you get caught up lifting for a specific girl is when you get FUCKED bc there's a pretty good chance she's gonna fuck you over by getting with some DYEL fuccboi with a better FACE and FRAME and destroy you. As long as you don't get caught up w/ one girl you won't get so fucked up and can keep acquiring gains.

This is common knowledge.

My self improvement comes from looking at old photos of when i was fit. I actually had a pretty good body. Im still "healthy" but it just aint the same. Made me realise how far ive slipped in 4 years

I'm 19.
Any advice I should I know before I start my first year of college?
Do I flirt with college girls, or should I not shit where I eat?

What if she's adopted by a single mother

you should flirt with whoever you like!

If you can avoid paying fees then I'd strongly advise that route. Whether that be scholarships and funds, or through a few years in the military. Remember why you're there and don't regret your time.
Of course you should talk to college girls, that's expected of you. Just try not to do anything you feel is scummy and you'll be golden.

It's not their fault, just like me not having a more Chad face isn't my fault. But that doesn't mean it isn't a bad thing, it's something that needs to be considered if you're looking for a relationship.

It's not as though its a hard proof, but come on dude, have you ever heard of daddy issues? You don't have to like what this dude is saying but it makes some sense.

>common knowledge isn't evidence
Come on now retard, even if I haven't organized a three billion dollar multi-generational study, this is still enough to avoid a potentially bad experience. Don't listen to him though, go ahead, have a good time.

3 months in is my back ok ?

Will I make it boys ?

>Ive started lifting, running, completely quit porn (for 10 weeks now), focusing more on university and am generally less lazy than i was not long ago. What else will it take
Did you even talk to her

you need to work on your cardio if you want to make it in life to more than 40

Bruh I can literally run miles and miles unlimited lol. I'm just wondering if I should cut or keep bulking a bit my lifts have been through the roof in 3 months

you need to work on your lower back in my opinion

You got me there lol. I can only sumo 315. I got high on mushrooms one time and laughed so hard that one of my discs slipped out of place I think. Half of my body goes numb sometimes lolz

For diet I just followed kinobody. His shit is brilliant. For training I just did basic reverse pyramid training (also from kinobody) with the big lifts: Squats, deadlifts, overhead press, bench press, weighted dips, weighted chin ups and rows. I'd also throw in some 3x10 ab-, arm- and shoulder work. I didn't buy his program, not because I don't think it's great but just because he's got so much free content that I didn't have to buy the program.

This is a good suggestion. He seems like a bro while also being very financially savvy.

I'm going to quit Veeky Forums. I've been many years on this board and every minute I am on here, I am bombarded with stupid posts
>braaaaap
>sips
etcetera, those do not help me in any way.
Every minute on here is a minute not spent on bettering myself.

And the overall negativity on Veeky Forums has been increasing as well.

Another one on the list after quitting games, most of my pointless watching tv series, addictive websites, soda and porn.

See you guys on the other side.

good luck

i lost count of the amount of times i tried to quit this place

i couldnt tell if you my life depended on it

What user said. I'm not saying anything is the womans fault. If your parents let you stuff your face with sugar every day it's not your fault that you're fat, but it doesn't make you not fat.

I've tried to quit Veeky Forums since 04 and I got away almost twice, but then my retarded brain brings me back after 2 years and I'm stuck again for god knows how long.

Stay stronk.

This is how you make fit tolerable
