Fuck me lads. I love the guy but JUST- I want to inject tren into his heart maybe he'll man up faster.

I'm not even Veeky Forums but your friend needs some fucking testosterone in his system
Brandon Gray
I hate to see him like this but I also know he needs to stop being a bitch. I just have no clue how to help him. Ive been in his shoes so I get it but jeez.

Jesus Christ. There's really nothing you can do for him except wait a couple months for him to get over it and if he is still like this, you need to constantly make fun of him and call him a faggot, I feel like it's your duty as a friend.
Nathaniel Sanchez
give him some time, getting cheated on sucks
Josiah Ramirez
I had a friend with the same situation (except he stalked the other guy but backed away when he found out the dude was like 5 inches taller than him). He wouldn't stopped bitching, crying and being obsessed with his ex, disregarding any given advise and long story short, he has a boyfriend now. Stop him from being a pussy or he'll start craving dick

You can't jumpstart soyboys on the path to natty aesthetics and life gains. Don't push him too much, be glad he came to the gym in the first place. Listen to his whining for a couple weeks, DO NOT offer advice for now. Once he's got most of the whining out of his system start giving advice, but not in a "you should do X" way but rather in a "when Y happened to me I did X and now shit's cool breh" way. Don't push the exercise, slowly increase the load. Shit, have you never motivated someone else before? What are you, 17?
Josiah Reyes
No I've grown up without positive feedback from anyone and have a plethora of issues. However in this case I havent the slightest notion how to help him and not coddle him.

Oh also >be me >nerdy skellyboi >get gf >slowly turn into functioning adult, change wardrobe etc after her wishes >gf of 5 years turns into leftie tree hugger >goes to tree hugger camp because she doesn't know what she wants to do with her career >meets skellyboi >reminds her of me when I met her >dumps me for skellyboi The first few weeks I didn't want to hear any advice. I mean, I'd heard it all before and people telling me that "it'll get better" and "there's plenty of fish in the sea" etc would have been pointless. Instead I did more shit with friends, just hanging out or going rock climbing or eating lunch. I didn't push conversations about the breakup on them, but when we did talk about it they were smart enough to basically listen, to give support (swallowed their comments about my faults and agreed with everything about ex being a cunt) and to not regurgitate pointless advice that I had read a million times online anyway.
Sis is big into rock climbing, she knew exercise was good for me. I knew it too. So I went, but she didn't push me to the max because when you're going through a breakup and you're in a negative mindset, failure just sends you downward -- and failure is inevitable when you're pushing yourself. So instead she let me do my own thing but made sure to show off her own gains and pester me about at least coming to the climbing club, even if I didn't push myself to 100%. Eventually I got my shit together and started lifting (again). More gains than ever, diet on point, mental state stable, consistently great mood, the happiest and healthiest I've ever been.
TL;DR Give him time Listen, don't shit out unwanted advice Be supportive Passively get him into lifting more
You don't often get a chance to help someone turn their life around but if you do it right they'll thank you for years to come and be there for you if you're in their shoes one day.
Lucas Turner
Wtf he's still friendly to the dude who cucked him?
Slap him in the face and tell him to stop being such a faggot
