/Time/

I have one semester left at school and applied for the internship I really wanted. I’ve also been very consistent with going to the gym this year.

Negatives are phone addiction, putting off doing things that I should improve on and having too many shower thoughts about people I don’t see anymore

Feels good man, but the second half 2018 feels more like a long term investment into 2019

I know it's horrible, but atleast you dudged a bullet

I got a great new job.
I'm making more money than ever before.
I feel great, much better than I have in years.
I look much better than I have in years.
My physique has come together really well, have a 6 pack for the first time since I was 10 years old.
I reached out and started rebuilding my social circle and now have some reliable friends.

But I didn't get laid. Not once this year. Haven't so much as talked to an attractive girl beyond at the cash register/bar etc...
It's totally fucked and I'm trying to crack this nut but it's been a struggle. It's looking very much like I will ride out the whole year without getting my cock wet. I hold out some hope for the next few months but I wouldn't bet on it.

Fuckall. I'm planning on asking out a classmate but I'm not sure when.

>Got headhunted into a different industry by a Fortune 500
>Decreased alcohol consumption from nightly to 2-3 times per month
>Dropped +/-25 pounds, 10 away from my Hollister weight

I hit a real rough patch for about two years post-engagement falling through. Was 250lb collegiate shot-putter, then dropped to 190lb after transferring to Texas A&M. Chad'd it up while managing a Hollister, got a Key Account Management role at a sub $100mil oil and gas company, ballooned to 235lb, lost muscle, drank nightly, genuinely miserable. Back to 208lb consistently, face is finally 9/10 again, new company is paying for my MBA at nights.

If I had any advice for fellow anons as a 25 yo Boomer, its to ensure that your core competencies are met in life first, then worrying about everything else. I have a little debt, and I'm not shagging whores 4 times a week anymore, but I can smoke pot again, I dress nice for work, and I'm treating food as a utilitarian means to fuel my body. Everything just falls into line after that.

FUCK my no fap comes to an end right FUCKING NOW

You have to jump in to learn to swim. If u have a 6 pack, get a "natural" shirtless pic, like at the beach or something and get on tinder. Set up some dates w 5's and 6's to get a feel for where you're at, what to work on, and how the whole damn thing works.

I'm awkward, but basically have the hang of lightly bullying girls about everything then alternating to serious convo. Took a solid year of train wrecks and being weird, but now I can pass for a lifelong fuckboy. When I'm reality I play competitive MTG and really like synthesizers. Biggest point of growth was when I gave myself permission to spill spaghetti, as long as I was actively learning from it

Good luck my dude, u can do it.

I'm 28 and have been a jobless loser for several years but it feels like I'm well on my way to getting out of the hole

Don't ever wash that hand

Thanks man I'm going to try.

Still talking to ex from Uni at first half of year. Finally for once and for all break things off, shit tore my heart. Now fully licensed stock broker at financial company.

I’ve come along way. I still think about her a lot, I don’t know if I should ignore these feelings or just acknowledge them. She’s blocked me to on everything except email but I don’t wanna be crazy... Idk bros

Nice job user! You're definitely on a path to success. One of the more true memes on here is doctor's stopping your success, same with family and friends. When they tell you that you look great, remember that you can look even better. For me, I enjoy seeing my contemporaries mire me, and feeling the jealousy and resentment come from them. A fuel, if you will.

This year:

Climbed Mt Everest
Got a gf
Ran a grassroots program for a governor's race
Made my first angel investment

Think of her as a stepping stone. You learned a lot, you hurt a lot, you loved a lot, but a key think to remember is:

>as men age, their value increases
>as women age, their value decreases exponentially

I was in the same boat (I posted a few posts above) but still keep in communication with my ex. I FaceTimed her thee other day, and started to notice crows feet, wrinkles, etc. I still love her dearly and care about her, but seeing her morph from the hot, fun 20 year old I was with into a still beautiful but flawed 23 year old without much going on for her made me realize that my life is on a much different (re: better( path than hers, and that inviting her back into my life at this point (without a major stipulation of me being in complete control of finances) would do nothing but hinder my plans.

>>love of my life left me
Stop watching Hollywood movies, there's no such thing as the love of your life or the one. You just keep doing you bro, you'll get over it.

I don't think she was "the one" or anything like that.

I'm just saying, we were together for 5 fucking years, and I wanted to marry her.

No you don't, you want to be loved and she's your habitual love despenser. Hit the weights, cry it out if you need to, but you gotta bury that relationship. It's over, and I'm not saying that to hurt you.

I know that there's no coming back now, it's over.
But it hurts like a bitch. She was everything I ever wanted, and it's all over now.
I do hit the weights still, but it's not doing much

>Learned german
>changed schools after being in a sadistic one, grades shot up
>got my diet in check
>lifts went up tremendously, people mire all the time
>had a first kiss while piss drunk, still no GF but at least not a KH Virgin anymore, just a regular virgin.

Yeah it's aight other than the fact I'm autistic when talking to girls (if not piss drunk)

Who would want to go trough the charade of marriage in 2018? Marriage and ltr's are just 2 people arguing and annoying the fuck out of each other hoping to relive some of the good memories they have from the first 2 or 3 months they were dating.

You gotta want something else, now. I know that sounds hard, but try meditating or mulling over the mysterys of life. What does it MEAN to be human? It sounds really faggy, but consider these questions without her: It'll help you find something new to strive for.

I had a bad break up, and considering this shit led me to the realization that what I really wanted to do was pursue my childhood dream of becoming a professional wrestler. Maybe it's dumb, maybe I'll get myself killed, but I'm finding fufillment between the ropes. You'll surprise yourself with what makes you truly happy.

>lost 50k+ on crypto
>got a shitty 3% raise
>didn't interact with a single attractive female
>traveled 70+ days for work

Every year that goes by the hope of /making it/ wanes a little bit more. It is less and less likely that I will lose my v card (mid 20s). How do I fix this anons?

i can see my dick again

Didn't mean to give this user a (you)

thanks anyway

I never really had any goals desu, I was just floating around in my life
She gave me a goal, I had something to hope for, something to look forward too
I finally had my shit together, and it's all lost again
Though, yes, you are right on what you're saying about finding something else. Idk what the hell it is going to be though.

>switched major to something I like
>had my first kiss
>made 3 new friends
>got a really good internship
>started actually lifting
>got over depression
>became closer with old friends
This year went so fast.

Did it flush on the first try?

Liar, liar, pants on fire.

replace with 10kg muscle

I finally cured my 4 years long depression this summer, and I feel amazing again. Maybe it was a stroke of luck. I was deep in thought while showering like I usually am. Moping about how the world owes me for my meager efforts. I finally accepted that the world doesn't need to validate my achievements. No matter how hard I try, the world will never recognize my efforts. So I'm done with trying to get other people's validation, that they won't give me. Other people will always have unrealistically high expectations of me that are impossible for me to achieve, and they will always shit on me and put me down because I'm not enough. I'm done with basing my personal self worth on others opinions. I just want to value myself honestly to my own scale and be true to myself.

girl in the bottom right is Olga Katysheva for those interested

nah, still need to lose like 20kg
have been lifting but gotten no muscle mass obviously. havent really lost any either (getting inbody scan every couple of months)

On the contrary. As a man your chances are only ever going up

Bad grades, broke up my study, my grandpa died 4 months ago and I cry almost daily (I'm 25 btw).
At least I can squat 160 kg now.

Started lifting, turned a wizard this monrh. That's pretty much it.

Ended a 4 year relationship in wich both cheated and wasnt happy for 3 years, hit the gym serious for the first time, overcame an injury and just got back, I may change my car. Pretty good for a mexican manlet living in this shithole of a country.

Besides becoming a boomer dad, the best is:
>started shooting slingshots every day
That shit is so fun. Snap! BAM! I take it with me when I walk the dog. I can’t express how glad I am that I took an interest in this awesome, primitive projectile weapon. Double theraband gold and marbles currently, working myself up to 2 inch steel balls with quadruple bands. That Dennis the Menace shit on steroids will break bone no problem. 150 joules is achievable, maybe even 200. Awesome momentum. It’s an autistic thing to carry around for sure, but whenever I get the chance I shoot at stuff.
That awesome feel when you hit your target purely by instinctive aiming. Can’t be beat.

Jorg Sprave sparked this interest in me and now I am hooked.

still strugling with depression but definitely in a better state than a year ago

Finished my bachelors degree. Was lucky and knew my shit well enough that I actually scored a longterm job in television right out of school.

>feels good man

Made huge philosophical- and confidence gains, and is very comfortable talking to attractive girls sober. Only problem is that I don't meet many of them in my job, and party maybe only about 1-2 times a month. Still not loving the whole clubbing-thing.

Could it be Tinder is the next logical step for me brahs?

konichiwa ryan do you know how to say "never gonna make it" in jap?

I lost 45 lbs. 10 lbs to go and I'll start bulking up.
Fuck being fat.

>Graduated last december

>Put on 20lbs of weight from drinking freely now but haven't been hitting gym at same frequency
>Stuck with a piece of shit car and can't be assed to get one since every used car seems like a trainwreck waiting to happen

If this is true why don't you see a bunch of 30 year olds with 18 year olds? It just doesn't add up user. This graph is a cope by the "red pill" community.

>dedicated myself to learning Japanese since January
you should try learning something not useless desu, i like chinese cartoons too but nothing fruitful will come from it

literally nothing

Yeah ching chong fuck you waito piggo

>Good, or Don’t Be starts playing

>I-I'll totally find someone to fuck once I turn 30
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA THE COPE

It's my hobby now, since all I did anyway was play games. Putting myself to a task that's not entirely just for fun and games is nice and has changed my worldview a lot. But I'm also a level 400 weeb so chances are I'm just delusional anyway.

On another note, 2 months until the influx of gym zoomers.

If you've been putting off going to the gym then now is your chance to get in ahead of the crowd.

There's going to be a fair few people on here who want to change, and they'll give themselves the excuse of not wanting to be a stereotypical January noob.

Plus there may be some new pussy coming in, better be ready.

>got a job
Now I want to be dead even more

Fucking disgusting this is why you're people need to be killed

>unironically though this year i would finally get a gf
>failed

>But I'm also a level 400 weeb so chances are I'm just delusional anyway.
ya for sure, the time consumption is going to be crazy and not worth it. For some perspective on learning It took me like 200+ hours to learn math up to vector calculus from algebra, I can't imagine how long a whole language would take and I totally understand why there are straight up degrees for it.

>2nd year lifting, gains fully apparent now
>turns out i have great genes and crazy v-taper

Finally got a gf and got a new job that i actually like lads

5’11 178 lbs
245x5 squat
285x5 dl
220x5 bench

Shoot me now

I've largely stopped going to the gym ever since I moved to college so things are going well I'd say.

>broke up with my alcoholic/addict longterm gf
>doubled my income
>got a studio apartment, then moved to a better one three months later
>about to complete my last month of Accutane
>slept with more women than every previous year of my life combined, no uglies/fatties either

Went from 120 to 150lbs.

Fuck it I say that's good in 10 months.

Squatted 230, benched 165 and my deadlift is still fucking shit, can barely diddly 200 on a normal day and have to ramp up to 210 at 97.

Also my daughter was born (second kid), I got a license for aerial work platforms (articulated and scissors), renewed my electrical license and managed to renovate my home.

i've made excercising 6 days a week my norm. Sometimes I go 7 days a week. I enjoy it.

Set new records in squat and BP this year.
Haven't really focused on DL or press.

>cut out sugar, started doing IF, fixed my sleeping schedule
>energy is through the roof

>switched from half-assing SL (half-assing plus a couple of deloads due to illness meant I'd made neglible progress) to Reddit PPL
>ironically am much better at sticking to a more intensive program

>moving out tomorrow
>starting edumakation (electrician) in January

Life is good. I can actually see myself becoming a real person.

my dude how did you do it. im 114 pounds.
how do i get to at least 130

From 180 to 160 and back to 176 from muscle. Bench went from 60 to 195. Can now curl 45 dumbells.
