Skills to learn to make 6 figures+

The secret to your dilemma...
...is answered in this post.

Have you ever read one of those clickbait articles about the top ten dumb ass menu items on something something restaurant, and how the one thing that's always on the list is that confessional from former fast food employees?

"no one gives a shit if you fill your water cup with soda, we don't care, we're fast food fry cooks."

Now extend that apathy to the rest of your life.

You must know and except that all human beings are innately self-interested. It is why we crave blind adulation from pets and why we are constantly trying to make every inanimate object more lifelike by slapping big doe eyes and smiles on it.

When someone says "nobody gives a shit about you" that's not an insult, or depressing, or dragging down.

nobody gives a shit about you is the truth, and it's the most important and essential freedom in the world. Understand that for everyone you walk past on the street, you are in their life for the 3 seconds a day it takes them to step to one side of the sidewalk and pass you as you walk by.

No one is actually thinking mean thoughts about you. They aren't thinking happy caring thoughts about you either, but that's not important.

Through the apathy of others, you are free. There is no reason to be anxious about anyone you ever meet. 99% of people don't give a fuck about holding you down.

Once you stop seeing this as a "woe is me" thing, and start seeing it as "nobody gives a fuck about me? Thank god, it means they aren't in my way" you will be free.

I've been listening to advice like this for probably 10 years now, even the doctor gave me a bunch to read like this. I just can't seem to apply it. Oh well

Tell us about the nepotism. How'd you get it?

This is gold. Plz more advice user. Help me be the machiavellian chad because I'm tired of getting fucked around by them.

My friends dad vouched for me and got me an interview. I fucking aced it.

learn management skills.

become chad.

in post I cite books to read.
I mean it, I'm serious, those books changed the way I thought about EVERYTHING.

Another great book if you can find it is The Unfair Advantage by Mark Donohue.

Mark Donohue was a racecar driver that was on the team of Nascar legend Roger Penske. The memoir is about how he and Penske would sit up at night in Penske's kitchen, looking at the Nascar rulebook, and trying to figure out ways to cheat that were legal because "the rulebook didn't say they couldn't." and using that line of logic. A lot of gadgets like air suction on screw guns for changing tires and gravity feeds for gasoline tanks were their ideas, and are still used in racing today.

As much as the book is about racing, its more importantly about a mindset, a way of thinking, that you are always on the hunt for the best way to do something that nobody told you that you couldn't do. You can enjoy or ignore all the race car mumbo jumbo as is required, as long as you understand that the book is about a mindset.

Dale Carnegie's How to Win Blah Blah is the single greatest self help book ever written, it has never been succeeded, and is basically just a Charisma Hacking guide. Every robot should read it before they contemplate suicide, just to give interacting with humanity one last chance.

New Rules of Attraction was written by a woman who was the highest paid dominatrix in New York before she retired from the profession. Put aside whatever dumb memes about women's behavior Jow Forums taught you and read that book. Arden was, and still is, a marketing genius. She was phenomenal at reading people and figuring out what they wanted most, and then figuring out how to package that and give it to them. She was also brilliant at making sure she stood out from the pack- In a business where all the girls were wearing black lingerie, she'd do shit like stand apart by being the only girl to show up wearing white lingerie. The woman has a Machiavellian mind.

on aesthetics

-if you're fat and have a second chin, grow a beard to hide it, but only if you can grow a real beard, and fucking maintain it. Don't go out like a fucking neckbeard. If you don't have a double chin then ask your mother, your sister, or your brother's girlfriend if you are more or less handsome with a beard. Facial hair should hide flaws or assert masculinity, that is its purpose. There is no beard meme, that's all internet shit. Whether or not you should wear a beard is a matter of hygiene and personal aesthetics.

-If you have thin hair or are balding, shave it off. If you're too fucking lazy to keep it bald, then go to a clinic and plunk down the cash to laser it off. A man with thin, balding hair always looks like a cuck. But a man who is aesthetically bald on purpose looks young and dynamic. This actually happened to me personally, I had shitty hair genetics and found a bald spot in the back in the mirror one day, and I knew after that it was just a matter of time. I shaved it all off and started getting looks from chicks. Men look better and younger without hair than they do with unhealthy thin hair.

-Always roll your sleeves up on your long shirts, it makes you look masculine, assertive, and women fucking love it. You gain 10 attraction points automatically by rolling up sleeves, and 15 if you have masculine hairy lumberjack arms.

-Don't wear brand tags or dumb graphics. Band shirts are okay if you actually like the band and aren't being an ironic faggot. Don't buy those crappy dad nerd shirts at Target or Walmart that have retro Star Wars shit on them, that just screams middle age stepdad cuck. If you like to buy value-priced clothes, there's nothing wrong with that, but take a seam ripper from a sewing kit and pull all the brand logos off those Costco Kirkland jeans. Don't look like a billboard for any given clothing brand or dumb social media meme, you should absolutely cultivate your appearance and curate your wardrobe-

>beard
stopped reading there

- so that you effortlessly look like you don't give a fuck, like you just have innate good fashion sense. the easiest hack for that is just taking the seam ripper to your garments so nobody can tell what label you're wearing and judge you accordingly.

-Invest in Ariat boots, because like all men, you want to look taller and more assertive. Ariat is a company famous for making nice leather cowboy boots (They make other boots as well, if you're not into cowboy boots) but most importantly, the outer part of the shoe is nice leather, while the inside of the shoe has a comfortable sneaker sole you can walk in all day. A good Ariat boot is a simple and comfortable way to get an easy extra inch on your height.

-If you drink soda, cut it back to one or two cans a day, and only the zero calorie shit. I've struggled with this personally, drinking soda was one of my worst vices, especially delicious Baja Blast at Taco Bell. But drinking soda makes you look like an irresponsible fucking child and has serious health ramifications. You immediately look more like a man with a beer in your hand than a soda. Soda is actually so bad for your health and your image that I would advocate switching to beer completely if possible, better to drink cheap yeasty alcohol sugar than refined food colored sugar. If you don't like beer, then you need to go into some place like Bev Mo or Total Wine And More and ask someone knowledgable about what beer you should try as someone who doesn't like beer. The fact of the matter is that men drink beer, and beer is almost always going to be the most available alcohol at any social gathering your career might require you to attend. Don't be the fucking holding a coke, everyone will think you're either a recovering alcoholic or a child.

-Don't have tattoos below the wrist or above the neck, and never have tattoos with letters or numbers. Get art only, and get it where you can hide it under a button up shirt.

I'm gonna need some moar info on dat accidentalflash(dot)webm

-invest in a good suit. You will need to wear a suit and know how to wear a suit if you want to have any kind of white collar upward mobility.

-First off, don't buy off the rack. Mens Wearhouse is a fucking ripoff and a joke, and off the rack suits are often as expensive or more expensive than just going to a tailor and getting it done custom. The label on the suit means nothing, how the suit fits, how well it is tailored, determines how well you look in a suit. If you're fortunate enough to fit exactly into a specific general size, then good, but the only time a suit doesn't need to be tailored is when the tailor says it doesn't need to be tailored. No one else's opinion is trustworthy.

-Repeat this mantra: Tailor over label. This is the truth. Always hire a tailor. Not only will you pay less for a higher quality custom garment, but you will be able to tell your peers that you have a personal tailor, and be able to recommend them. You will seem knowledgable on a topic that most men hate, fashion. That will catapult your value to other men.

-If you find that you are willing or are required to have a lot of suits (and it is a good idea to outdress your peers if you are looking to move up, because you will be remembered as the snappy dresser) then it is ABSOLUTELY worth it to take a shopping trip to a place like Thailand where a local tailor will give you a bargain basement deal on multiple suits. What you save on a foreign tailor will immediately recoup the cost of airfare and lodging.

-Don't wear slim fit style suits unless you're a 140lb skinny, tiny manlet. On any man that actually has meat on his frame, slim fits make you look like a child that outgrew his clothes. Ask for a traditional cut.

-Don't be a department store cuck. Most men don't care about fashion and just buy whatever is on the shelf when they walk in the store, and end up with some garbage trendy lilac shirt. Be a traditional man, and pick a bold masculine color that always works.

last post about suits/aesthetics.

-If you must only own one suit for whatever reason, financial hardship, etc. Then the suit you must own is charcoal. The charcoal suit is the gold standard of all-comers professionalism and is appropriate attire in all formal occasions, and can be customized to the event by your choice of shirt and tie.

Jesus Christ this is the most useful r9k thread I've ever read , thanks everyone

I contemplated being an adult and not responding to you, but fuck that.

I made a TLDR essay out of this thread so someone who gives a shit about themselves could advance themselves and grow as a person and enjoy their life.

This is the lesson specifically for you, young robot.

All your depressing self-loathing r9k meme shit, your roastie hate, your manlet depression, whatever fucking garbage you're spewing about whatever triggered you, is crap.

The number one must Chad thing you can do to become a Chad is to help others to Chad up. That's what Chad would have done.

I'm 5'10", have degenerate tattoos, bearded, and bald. I wear a studded battle jacket and look like a Judas Priest band member in the 80s.

And I'm fucking a 5'6" 110lb girlfriend that's ten years younger than me, and she came onto me.

No six foot tall, no superior genetics, I look like an absolute degenerate and I'm smashing 24 year olds.

Because your meme shit is retarded and Jow Forums isn't real life, and once again- The Chaddest thing you can do to become a Chad is to help others Chad up.

Stay gold, kid.

Lmfao, next question

As someone who has gotten really fat really quickly in the last two years, random people definitely do try to make you feel bad. When I was skinny nobody ever openly laughed at me.

I get mean looks because I have resting asshole face

Moving on from the aesthetics crap...

HUMAN INTERACTION.

-One of the easiest and most essential charisma hacks I taught myself, and is MACHIAVELLIAN AS FUCK for those of you smart lads that enjoy this kind of shit, is what I call win-win character judgment.

Throughout your life and career, you will meet people that are shit, and chances are, someone you know and respect and/or work with will tell you that they are shit before you meet them.

in this scenario, whether you trust your compatriot's judge of character or not, is to always use this line-

"I trust your judgment, but I haven't met them yet and I have to give them the benefit of the doubt."

This line always gets you respect with anyone who is worthy of respect. When you say this, the only 2 things that can happen are positive outcomes.

1- The other person will be subconsciously forced to respect you for being an upright and fair minded individual that makes your own independent decisions. This displays character and manly assertiveness.

2- if the person ends up being right, and the person is in fact a complete shitlord, (and they probably are) You get to say to your compatriot, "You know I met him, and you were correct, the dude's a total asshole, but you know I had to see it for myself. I'll give you more credit next time."

When you do this, you validate the other person's judgment and they must subconsciously like you for agreeing with them, while still asserting your own masculine independence.

In either scenario, you can only profit, even if the dipshit in question does in fact turn out to be a dipshit.

EYE CONTACT HACKS.

-If you have trouble maintaining eye contact, then try this. Instead of trying to look at someone's total face or both eyes, laser-focus in on one specific eye. This will sidestep your innate meekness by giving your detail-oriented autism a topic to study, while also providing the benefit of giving your gaze a serious and intense look.

-Consciously align your feet to the person you are conversing with so you are facing them. Do this until you do it subconsciously. You want to face your primary conversation partner chest to chest. This is important because as humans we are conditioned to accept that person directly facing us is invested in us and is paying attention, so even if you can't keep eye contact you at least have the perception of not being a little bitch because you are giving your attention to the man you are facing. If you find that your eye contact is flagging, fixate instead on something behind your partner, and then immediately interrupt and apologize for your lack of attention. Again, the most important thing is creating the illusion that you are giving someone your complete respect and attention, your flagging eye contact can be forgiven if you are distracted and then immediately restore your attention to the person you are speaking too. Alternatively, using the same principle with different application, fixate on something on the other person's clothing. Adjust the lapels of their suit for them or brush off a mote of dust. A certain amount of preening between male peers is masculine and acceptable, provided it is done in casual fashion under the excuse of professionalism or maintaining appearance to attract women.

I actually had this problem to the Nth degree because as a dumb ass toddler I was wobbling along and tripped and fell and gashed my fucking face open on one of those aluminum sliding door tracks that people used to have on their closets.

Because of that wound acquired so young as a child, and in combination with a slight overbite, I don't smile naturally, and can't fake smile when I'm lying. 30 years later, you can still see the scar when I actually do smile spontaneously at something amusing.

So I have a pretty serious case of Resting Bitch Face.

What I've found is that you can turn this weakness into an advantage by owning it. If you walk up to someone and shake their hand, you can flip it by saying something like "Hey, nice to meet you, I know I look kind of mean but I've just got a bad case of Resting Bitch Face."

this immediately defuses most people, because it displays that you are conscious of your intimidating appearance and are working to counteract it to make people around you more comfortable, which is an innately masculine and charismatic thing to do.

Also, having an intimidating look will get you traction with certain women.

ON SMILING

-You can hack yourself to smile on command by memorizing a funny song. Use this when you absolutely need to look like you're not a Jow Forums shitlord, or just generally around women. Pick a song that you think is funny, and memorize it word for word. You don't have to sing it, it can be Celine Deon or it can be Skrewdriver. If you're an awful person and nazi punk songs about the holocaust make you laugh, then go with that. Whenever you need to smile at someone, just recite the funny song in your head and with a little practice you will organically smile. You can condition yourself to do it. If your smile is a little too earnest or someone guesses your intention from your shit-eating smirk, simply apologize and own it by saying "Sorry, I thought of something that was very funny to me." Naturally, never admit that what was funny to you was a song you brain-hacked to make you smile, especially if it was about Hitler.

This also works with asserting confidence around women. Its better to be a funny, goofy guy, even if you're an awkward goofy guy, than it is to be a joyless fuck that looks like he might be a basement rapist. Smiling and laughing are innately disarming, and hacking yourself to be able to smile organically on command is a valuable life skill.

I've been there bro.

2 things.

1- Do squats. Squats are the single most essential exercise for weight loss and muscle gain, and work every muscle group in the lower body, including those Chad abs. More importantly, you can squat and be an antisocial fuck because squats only require a bar and a cage, you don't need a spotter if you can squat in a weight cage.

look into a book called Starting Strength.

If you can't afford a weight cage and bar, then get a 16 dollar chin up bar from Amazon prime and do deadhangs. All you have to do is hang from the bar with your feet off the ground for 10 seconds at a time, and just holding your weight there works all the upper body muscles wthout you having to do chin ups.

-Dr Joel Fuhrman's book, Eat to Live.

I did it and it sucks, but I dropped 40lbs in 2 months. My family didn't recognize me.

Thank you so much because of you I have set alarms and planned my day to better myself you may be wrong or I may eat shit and fail but guck it ima try

Here's the protip nobody here told you about: Don't have autism. If you have autism you're fucked.

Honestly man it fucking happens.

I woke up one morning around 29 and was 245 and hated it and decided I was missing out on life. I remember it was August 5th because it was my dog's birthday.

There's really no motivation better than just being bored and sick of being fat and shitty. I wish I could say I handled it any other way but that's just not true, you can't lose weight until you're absolutely bored of being a bitch. Once I decided life had more to offer me, through a combination of exercise and research, I was down to 167 in 4 months and people were telling me I needed to stop.

I just got out of a fucking stressful job though it and piled the weight back on me because it was an intense labor job, and when you get home from that you're like "fuck it, gimme that cheeseburger" and it stacks up.

But to encourage you brother, I give you this advice.

Fuck exercise.

You can outsmart your fat through research and diet hacking.

Looking back now, I wish I lost weight through anaerobic exercise and weight training, because that way I would have been buff and Chadded up instead of just "not fat."

But if your first concern is just being bored of being a fatass and trying to find something more positive in life, then allow me to encourage you- If you read enough, and you're dedicated enough, you can lose a fuckload of weight through diet alone, and not have to do anything more intense than walking.

I had a buddy who was a world class kickboxer who once told me, "it's 70% diet and 30% exercise. If you only do one, do diet, because exercise will never beat diet."

The book I recommended is by a midwest obesity doctor that specifically works with 500 and 600lb land whales that have to lose weight or die and can't even exercise. If it works for them, it can work for you and me.

I didn't even touch a bar and a bench until after I lost it. You can outsmart your weight with enough research and willpower. You just need to read enough to know how.

My problem is food is really the only thing that makes me happy. If I don't get that dopamine boost from some junk food then my mind is just screaming at me all day to go get it.

Can anons list all the uncucking books they benefited from? I know some have been mentioned already but I want to have some material ready for when I finish the ones already posted.

The good news is that your vice is an addiction, and instead of fighting an addiction, you can replace it with a more intense addiction.

The trick is to replace a negative addiction with a positive addiction.

If you have the space in your domicile to allow it, and the funds, I recommend a bar and a cage and doing Squats and using the Starting Strength book.

The best part about squats is that they get you in shape fucking fierce. My best friend squatted his way down from 260 to married to a hot doctor.

The second best part of squats is that you immediately get early gains in the first couple weeks of doing it, so it really teaches you an addictive Chad response to results. It builds a Chad habit.

Now, if you can't afford a bar and a cage to squat, I recommend rock climbing.

I got into rock climbing because I couldn't afford a cage either. I used to squat a bar and a bench but I almost broke my neck doing it without a spotter and a cage, so that ended that.

Rock climbing is cheaper, since you can go to a rock gym for about 40 bucks a month, and climbing still activates a lot of anaerobic muscle activity. It's fun and addictive, you can rent the gear from the gym, and they have automatic belay machines that can allow you to climb without needing a partner on the rope, so you can go in there and be in your own introverted world.

It's also a way more chill gym culture, but I personally only go at 10AM when the gym opens to avoid the shit out of people.

The trick is finding a routine that actually creates a positive addictive feedback loop. Everything everyone tells you about addiction is bullshit. Addiction can be hacked to be positive, you just have to find something that works.

I'll try to make a master list of the shit I've recc'd.

DIET AND EXERCISE

-Eat to Live by Joel Fuhrman- obesity specialist to midwest 500lb fatties.

-Starting Strength- A no nonsense, very intelligent weight training guide that you can use to coach yourself with, without a bunch of trendy asshole crossfit bullshit.

CHARISMA HACKING

The Unfair Advantage by Mark Donohue- A book about cheating at car racing, a book about mindset- "its not cheating if the rules don't say its cheating."

How to make friends and influence people by dale carnegie- The motherfucking Machiavelli of charisma can turn any autist into an empathetic Chad

The New Rules of Attraction by Arden Leigh- A dating advice/life advice book by a nearly-autist level genius dominatrix. It's technically written by a woman for women, but its advice is so profound that its worth it for men, and it gets you inside of the head of a woman.

>that 29 year old boomer that larps as Bateman

So do I use Bone or Pale White for my business card?

Great thread, thank you.

Sauce on that webm?

>Your comment must be original

I'm 34, born in 1984, which technically makes me still a millennial.

other shit I'd recc but didn't mention.
The Successful Novelist by David Morrel- This is a book on writing by the guy who wrote Rambo, its mostly about how you accumulate and process life experience, and how most writers cuck themselves. Very good if you're a writer, still good if you want to improve yourself.

Why Men Love Bitches- For those who want to get inside of the head of an absolute "roastie" as they are called around here.

Tested Advertising Methods- This is the bible of marketing and is absolutely essential for anyone pursuing a white collar career. Marketing is basically the art of monetizing psychology. There's lots of shit in here to apply to your mindset to make you into a better manipulator/serial killer/vacuum cleaner salesman

I'VE KILLED MEN by Jack Ganzhorn
This is Jack Ganzhorn's memoir. Ganzhorn was famous as a 3 fifths of a second fast draw gunman that did the rounds on old western tv shows back before they had CGI and the cowboy actors actually had to have legitimate fast draws to act in westerns. Also, he really did kill a lot of people. Book is redpilled as shit, if you want to read about a guy who was a fuckin man back when men were men and solved problems by shooting mexicans, this shit is intense.

Thanks user, appreciate the quality posting

first off, thank you for these quality fucking posts. I appreciate your effort. second: rock climbing.

I'm an underweight introvert who hates exercise but goddamn is rock climbing fun. there's a clear goal (the top of the wall) and each movement advances you toward that goal. it's different every time and takes enough strategy that it never gets boring. also, you improve crazy fast at first so it's rewarding very quickly. works out the core and upper body. I can't recommend this enough.
