ITT: General advice for men

By "general" I mean not advice regarding a certain specific topic, for example how to build muscle, how to dress, how to manage finances or something like that, but rather advice for your general mindset and behaviour to be more "man".
The background is that I grew up with a single mother and a sister and mostly female friends. While I'm not some effeminate mother's boy ( I have confidence, friends, a good body and no problems making friends or getting laid) this wasnt always the case and I had to actively work on myself for quite some time. I use to be needy, too talkative, too emotional and far too nice for the sake of being liked and all that. Now I am calmer, focus more on myself and am content with myself, which creates a certain aura of "manliness". Sounds cheesy, I know. Yet I still sometimes think that I missed out on so many little subtleties that you naturally pick up when growing up among other men and/or a father and brothers. For example, I find 3., 4. (at least the part about distraction) and 9. on the pic to be very true, but it took me some time to realise this.

Long story short, more like pic related please.

This pic is similar. A bit cringy and too much focused on guy-girl interaction, but you get the idea.

>men should act a certain way
You can't believe this and say that you enjoy your life

whats the best way to find a woman who wont cheat on me? incel groups have really fucked my mind, im starting to have doubts that ill be able to find one. i figured its best to get myself sorted out here

First of all ignore everything a incel ever says to you, the more time you spend surrounding yourself with incels the more you fall down the rabbit hole until you can’t return.
Most women don’t actually seek out relationships just to cheat unless it’s their degenerate kink. If a girl is talking romantically to more than one boy than forget about them as it’s likely they were never seeking anything serious anyways

If you can't cook, it should be one of the first life skills you learn.

>Fulfills one of your basic needs and increases your independence as a man
>Very easy to start with simple recipes, but rewards as much creativity as you want to put into it
>Can more easily manage your diet and stop eating crappy foods that make you sick
>Great way to impress your peers and women if you get especially good at it
>Very marketable skill in the dating game

Cooking is a great first step to becoming a more independent and attractive man.

save most of your money
always get a prenup
lift weights and do cardio

But cardio kills gains brah

>women dont like emotional men because they themselves are emotional

This is such bullshit. Inb4 you tell me le man and wimmin are different. Clearly if men can act emotional than their alleged default state of stoicism is not as solid as society thinks it is.

okay, but is there any way to find out whether a woman has a cheating issue/degenerate kink? any signs i should look for?

i used to be a shut-in with no father so im clueless as to what i should be doing

1). Value yourself above all others. I don't mean to say you should see yourself as superior to others, just focus on helping yourself before you help other people, or else you'll do a shitty job at it.

2). Face your own fears, and eliminate as much fear as you can through experience. I swear, every time I read on here about some kid who felt threatened and scared when he saw a black guy on the street I bust out laughing.

3). Learn a little bit of emotional intelligence (a dumbass term, I know). People here will say it doesn't matter, but those people will never be in a fulfilling relationships and never start to understand women. If you want to truly be able to protect and care for someone, great masculine abilities, then this is essential to have.

4). Live from your heart, not your head. Think about how many weird, bizarre, fucked up thoughts your brain has brought up to you, do you really want THAT thing controlling your life? The mind is a wonderful servant, but does fuck all as the master.

5). Whether you're muslim, atheist, christian, whatever, get in touch with something bigger than yourself. This has so many non-obvious benefits that are too long to list, so I'd just recommend The Power Of Positive Thinking.

Just a few tips that I've found made drastic, positive changes in my life, and experience is a teacher that tells no lies, but can only be misunderstood. Whether or not you give a shit about this post, just focus on the last two points and it'll encompass almost everything I want to say.

I also just want to reply because this is such an important point to make. The incel community is a bunch of pussies who've given up on life and feel joy in the misery of others (says a lot about their character). The dude's right, if you start hanging out with incels, you'll become an incel.

You'll literally become an involuntary celibate.

Just think about it.

1. be chad
2. don't be not chad

Thank you, but can you go into more detail on 4)?

A lot of people rely on their thinking to make decisions in tough situations, but instinct does a better job if you can be in touch with yourself.

I see it like this, when you're consciously making decisions, then your brain becomes too worried and anxious and doesn't work well. But if you sort of let it work unconsciously then it does its job much better.

Trusting your heart can only really come from life exp. Imo

99.9% don't, so don't assume they might and just assume they don't.

Just be yourself

do not get married under any circumstances.

Don't take shit from noone.

Whenever someone criticizes you, shut that criticism down as fast and hard as possible.

Whenever someone treats you bad, treat them 10x as worse.

Bully people who try to step up to keep them in line.

You won't have many friends this way, but you will always be on top of the social

how to look defensive af rofl

This is so ironic.

The point of the quote is that everyone instrinsically knows what a good man is, making a thread talking about what a man should do to be a good man is the complete opposite to what the quote stands for.

The best advice for being a good man is to have self respect, compassion, and be fair. The rest is bullshit heavily influenced by the experiences of the men whose posts youre reading. And cringy too. Some examples below

>self confidence is not asking for permission or any questions at all
>social market value hurr
>learn any one particular skill over another
>emotional weakness implies a loose grip on your masculinity, go do cool guy hobbies and hang out with the boys

A man who is told how to live his life will never be truly happy

LOL are you fucking 14 or what.

So you're going to be at the office and janine is going to say "hey this paper needs a stronger wording" and you're going to respond "Your uterus needs a stronger lining you infertile whore" and kick her in the fucking womb?

Any advice/books for street smarts and surviving homelessness?

the main thing about a real man is that he doesn't need to follow some dumb rules made by other men on the onternet, you could appear a bit manlier, but at the end of the day you either are that way or not, just be confident in yourself and work on yourself to improve in the way you think is right, the most respectable men are the ones that follow their own flow and are spontaneous

>old guy giving advice

>don't dress like a faggot, don't talk like a faggot
This advice is only for getting trashy girls that don't have problems with throwing around juvenile words like "faggot".

>don't you DARE look at the ground anytime ever
lmao holy shit this autism.

Meh, Im kinda stuck on between.

I work at the restaurant industry and it's easy. I get shit on left and right and co-workers will get angry so easily if you fuck up. Even though I do fuck up at times, it's annoying that people will talk shit to you just because of it. There's one side that'll say "Let them talk shit and mind your business" but if you never speak up you're a pushover. Then the other will say "Stand up for yourself" and if you talk back," you're too aggressive and sensitive.

The shit men gotta deal with

Men need to take back their right to self determination

So, this girl I've been seeing and like told me that she was getting too attached to me and that we should take a break.
I said, okay and agreed to hang out one last time
She tells me I'm the best guy she's ever met and she wants to have a relationship with me but she can't because she's juggling too many things and she asks me to wait for her.
And she tells me that I should trust her and that she should trust me. And this is how a relationship is made.
And if we both make it out without seeing anyone else, then we have a basis for a relationship.
Does this make sense? What do I do?
I like her enough to have a relationship with her. But she's asking me to wait. For almost an year

>I like her enough to have a relationship with her. But she's asking me to wait.
>For almost an year
You should have laughed in her face and tell her to fuck off. She is disrespectful as fuck and has no interest in you besides being a backup if she cannot find someone she is actually interested in. If you had a relationship with her, she would cheat on you 100%.

>Men need to take back their right to self determination
This.
Personal story: Over the last few years, I improved a lot, became very confident and fit. What happened was that many people who are close with me became angry suddenly. Why? They thought of me in a certain way and I defied their categorization all of a sudden. What I learned was: Everyone you are close with wants to see you in a certain way and therefore, not even knowingly, wants to determine how you live your life. Parents, friends, everyone you are close with. If you suddenly go your own way in life, the conflicts with them start. You'll quickly see who is a good person and who is a bad person in your life - the problems cease with the good people quickly. It's like an unconscious test from them to see if you are only pretending.
Life is much better if you go your own way. Harder to a certain degree, but also easier since you are free. When you determine your own life, people will be drawn towards you and want to be part of it.

>Yet I still sometimes think that I missed out on so many little subtleties that you naturally pick up when growing up among other men and/or a father and brothers
Stop with this. Having a father in the home will stop you from being a hoodrat sure, but it doesn't necessarily make you a well-adjusted individual. I hate it when people talk about it like it's the end all be all. I have had nearly all men in the home. A (quite strict) father and two older brothers. My mom was and still is the only woman in my life. I don't know a damn thing about women and I have no idea how to even begin to talk about them. My social skills are piss poor because I grew up trying to avoid making my father angry and avoid getting bossed around by my brothers at all time. I'm still to this day a very avoidant and introverted person. I wish I had at least one sister.

>ignore everything a incel ever says to you
Why can't you normies ever admit that you don't like what incels say because they tell the truth and shit on your fragile world views. Not everyone is well-equipped to find romantic partners. Not everyone can. Not everyone will. There have been people who never have. The world isn't just. Get over it.

I got together with my 2 male friends ive known for about 6 years as it was the birthday of one of them. We like to smoke weed and are somewhat experienced with it.
We had the whole weekend (friday, saturday and today). The night from friday to saturday was awesome we had an appartment for us alone so watched some movies and smoked weed. We were laughing a lot, feeling the music, eating snacks and sweets basically the usual when doing weed until we fell asleep. Next day was pretty normal. In the evening we smoked only one joint but for some reason it was very potent and made us extremely high to the point where we could barely move and that is where it began.
I don't know who made the move first but i ended up touching and caressing him and vice versa. I also think he tried to kiss me but i didn't give in as i was not ready for this and the emotions hit me hard. I was pretty sure that he is into me but i didn't know how to react so i turned around and thought about it with all these emotions overwhelming me. I am not homophobic (actually i am not sure about my sexuality at all) but it was going so fast. But i came to the conclusion that i would be ok with a relationship with him as we really have gone through a lot and we know each other pretty deeply but i am not sure if he is really into me or if it was just an act of unrestrained weed lust. We have not talked about the events yet and im confused and too afraid to ask directly

Best app/site that will get me laid? Quick rundown
>20
>decent looking (around 7-8)
>living alone
>I can last the whole night having sex (because of antidepressants)
>okay social life (occasional partying, drinking with male and female friends, have a few hobbies)
>depressed but it doesn't affect my life as that much now other than taking pills
>working a decent job
>my 2 last sex partners were around 30 (a bit weird I know but I don't mind older women)
I'm just getting bored and I would like to fuck around as long as I'm still living here.

General advice is useless and it doesnt apply to most, especially those on Jow Forums

>how to build muscle
lift heavy weights consistently

>how to dress
whatever is appropriate for your goal

>how to manage finances
spend less than you have

God damn this is some disgusting fucking drivel.

holy hell. did a schizoid get his moms laptop?

Point 12 really hit me lol I went over to a girl's house trying to fuck and I couldn't get it up. Maybe I shouldn't try to fuck fat girls in the first place

women's work

tinder

I want to change but there is no point. I'll just fuck it up like everything else in my life. there is no point of trying when failure is a guarantee.

Why do Americans circumcise their kids anyway? There's no health benefit to it. The foreskin's there for a reason. Seems to me that your health system has been Jewed pretty hard.

>There's no health benefit to it
actually I see plenty of "help I have phimosis" threads on here, it certainly prevents that.

user, women dont work anymore. they are empowered now, despite the only thing anyone values them for being the hole between their legs.

>if they friendzone you, stop talking to them
Pretty shit advice, unless all you're looking for is getting laid

Every relationship will start on friendzone.

He's right though. If you're retarded enough to not want friends that's a perfect method of ensuring that nobody likes you.

Gotta disagree with you. Women don't make for good friends 99% of the time and someone always ALWAYS develops feelings down the road and it'll probably be the nerd who got friendzoned in the first place.

Male female friendships rarely work. You have to both be completely unattracted to each other and still like each other which is a highly unlikely scenario.
