How you holding up, Jow Forums?
How you holding up, Jow Forums?
Bad. The girl that 'preemptively rejected'(her words) me last week invited me to hang out. I, being the pussy that I am, said yes. I shouldn't go.
Sucks man. Try to stay out of her web
Apparently there is a whole bunch of people going to that gathering, so I'm out. Going for beers on the riverfront with a buddy instead.
Weight's not dropping despite a 1700kcal diet, workouts feel like shit. Dunno what to do.
1700 is very low, you're needlessly torturing yourself. Up it a bit and reduce the number of meals you're having. Up the workouts. Add cardio. Add sauna(helps with waterweight like no other).
You can make it, buddy. I was stuck at 84 kilos for three weeks, then dropped 2 kilos in a couple of days.
Was outside making social gains niw I cant hit the gym for a few days because half my upper body is covered in sunburns
Work out shirtless.
27 y/o single male. Honestly wasnt sure what I was expecting with online dating but finding a decent woman is getting more absurd by the day
What's the problem here? Just say something along the lines of 'liked your profile' or 'liked your pictures' and 'wanna go out?'..?!
I just want to say I love you all mother fuckers here, and I love you faggots >nohomo, Im feeling good, and I believe in you that you gonna make it one day,and dont give up whoever there be struggling with whatever. Be strong! Were all gonna make it.
struggling to come with the grip of reality. i've been avoiding it for so long that i need help rehabilitating myself. i just want support and i don't have it, or am too weak to realize my own true potential.
Not too well. I'm good when I'm training but rest of the time is pretty rough. I woke up most of the nights this week wishing I had a qt bf to hold me and tell me it's okay for me to be a worthless faggot.
Hit 200kg on my deadlift on Monday though. that felt pretty good.
>gay
>depressed
You're doing it wrong, mate. You people are supposed to be promiscuous and shit. Just go to a gay bar or something.
not that user but does he need a reason? maybe he's just picking up on the tone the wrong way, either way the cunt might be truly interested in why he did or she's just a cunt.
user, just answer. if she gives you lip then there's a reason she's on there. she can't hold down a relationship, just wants a simple fuck, or maybe wants friends. who knows, either way the tone of her response makes her seem like an insufferable cunt.
I guess she does sound a little cunty, yeah. But he's making a mistake looking for a decent woman on a hookup site in the first place. Girls there expect to be showered with attention from thirsty fukkbois.
I love you user. It's okay.
>have huge crush on qt from work
>she already has a boyfriend
>and she thinks im gay
Just end me m8
I know I can get laid easy. I want more than that.
Thanks user, I love you too big guy.
Move on, move on, move on. Don't get crushes, nigger, that's the worst thing that you can do in life.
>I know I can get laid easy. I want more than that.
Well that just makes me want to die.
But seriously though, don't you people date the same way? Just don't fuck in the bar right away, get a number and schedule a date. Is that how it works for you too?
I know, but its harder to do it when you two work together and talk a lot.
Im thinking about starting hitting clubs and getting some thots just to see if i can get over her.
Shit sucks
Yes, do that, man. Do whatever it takes to suppress it or get rid of it or it will ruin your life.
Yo I just wanted to get real fora sec
Even though I'll never get to meet any of y'all, you anons are my true bros
I would legit love to meet you faggots and be mates irl, even the most autistic ones. You provide me with laughs, and real advice and seem to operate on the same level of our human condition.
Insane to think about how much love I have for anonymous people on the internet.
We're all gonna make it bros
I feel like I have the option to stop being depressed now, but what led to that depression in the first place hasn't changed, and will not change if I don't do anything. If I just stop, the cycle will continue.
Rather than being happy, I'm choosing to be mad. I might be hurting myself, but if it gets shit done then so be it.
I’m just real tired and sad right now lads.
Uni’s a real grind at the moment, but in 5 weeks this semester will be done and it’s just two more years. I quit my job cos I couldn’t stand working for those cunts any more and now I’m worried I won’t be able to make rent next month. I’m highly qualified and experienced as a hospitality manager but I end up making coffees and waiting tables, working shitty irregular shifts because this industry’s fucked and nobody wants to hire a student as a manager, even though I’m part time and only need to be on campus for like 5 hours a week. I miss my ex a lot, even though I know the relationship wasn’t working and we wanted different things I can’t keep her out of my head. I have a new girl which is going real well but I still think about the ex all the time. And tonight I got home after the gym, for once no work or assignments I need to do, and just sat on my ass cos I have no friends or hobbies cos I’m used to being flat out busy all the time. At least I have lifting, even if it’s slow.
I finally cracked a 2pl8 squat today, and I was so psyched at the time but after I got home everything went back to blandness. I kept telling myself that I just needed a win and then I’d feel better, but... maybe it just needed to be a bigger win, y’know? Like I still think I’m on going in the right direction and don’t need to change anything major, but... things suck right now. Thanks for listening to my blog bros.
The only thing I look forward to in life now is my OMAD at lunch. I need some sort of companionship or I will break.
There's no actual gay bars where I live, so I pretty much have to rely on apps/social circle to meet people. I imagine I'd have a lot less trouble if I wasn't the kind of autist who posted on Jow Forums.
Part of me would feel really bad burdening someone I liked with me too.
hey, we’re always here if you wanna shitpost. post your lunch sometime
It's Friday. Go out, try to forget about your troubles for a moment.
Financial troubles will go away eventually. A really good position for a student in your industry is a bartender. Good hours that won't intersect with school hours, decent money, no worries, all the drinks you can drink.
Uni's always a grind for everyone, that's just how it is. You'll get through it.
Just try to stay away from home as much as possible. Unless you got schoolwork to do, don't be home. Be anywhere else.
A really good idea for that is to move it to a dinner and invite people after work. Coworkers, friends, whoever the fuck.
Trying to bulk. Eating a lot.
I'm fucking terrified because I used to be 130+ kg fatass, then went down to 80 kg. (Cba to convert to lbs, sorry.)
Strength gains noticeable but I'm terrified of getting fat. The mirror doesn't say a lot because loose skin makes visual readings unreliable.
Hold me and tell me I'll be alright, bros.
Buy a digital scale, keep it near your bed. Use it daily.
Meh, still no gf. Lost 20 kg but have probably 15kg more to go. Everything feels so tiresome, but that's maybe because I'm on a deficit. I just want to have a gf, lads. At least I'm about to write the last few paper for my master's thesis.
Would it be weird to go hiking alone?
I'm 6' and people tell me I'm awfully skinny btw. Loose skin throws my judgment the fuck off.
No, hiking alone is great, I do it sometimes when I need to think and drink to a blackout.
I've been through exactly the same cycle of emotions a while back and in the end everything improved. Channel the anger positively, user, and you might find it a very useful tool.
Do not go. The worst thing you can do in that situation is to show her an image of a man without principles or dignity. In your life, you'll meet hundreds of women who have more value than her. Keep training hard for yourself.
thanks buddy. yeah, I might look in to bartending, I probably have contacts that can hook me up. I have a couple prospects on the go atm - waiting to hear back on if I get a 2nd interview for an ARM job with a local burger chain (called grilld, similar to in&out I think). I’m trying to stay hopeful for that at least. Waiting to pick the gf up atm, she’s got a cool new job managing a new live music venue on campus which is really good for her but kinda makes my work life suck even more by comparison. it’ll be after 11 by the time we get back so we’ll likely just share a bottle of wine and go to bed.
I always feel awkward trying to organise going out, like I get invited out occasionally (mostly with work or ex-work mates), but whenever I try and organise something it falls flat. Especially when it’s last minute. Maybe I’ll make plans for next weekend
Not so good. After a long time Im finally very attracted to a girl again, but she is already taken.
Its really strange how you can see a thousand attractive women without having a special feeling about them but then you see a girl that might not be the best looking but she still invokes a strong feeling of desire in you.
The worst thing is that we will see eachother for the next two years every week several times. Not only that but our friend circles overlap so I will see her even outside of work often.
But I chose lunch so I can eat with coworkers. And I do. But nothing gives me a sense of companionship.
I know. The problem is, we're going for a summer vacation together and I already paid the deposit.
And the worst of it was that I didn't even hit on her. Wasn't interested at all until she straight up told me that 'You're hitting on me and that's not gonna happen'. Hilariously, now I wish I was hitting on her. Bullshit human nature, always makes me want what I can't have.
Lunch with coworkers is a little more formal than a dinner, since you go back to work afterwards. I'm just saying, it's a good option. Won't get you a gf, but might get you a friend or two.
Bad. Tired of my parents, gf, and friends. Tired of my job. Tired of people nagging and being negative. I'm often thinking about ghosting everybody and starting a new life somewhere else.
The only thing that's been working well so far is lifting.
I went from doing hardly any workout relate activity besides the normal job steer stuff. To waking up at 6 am every morning stretching, running and lifting weights. Needless to say. After 5 days this week of training different groups. Everything is tight and sore. I’m exhausted. I hope it’s worth.
A good tip for life, don't infer negative intent into everything other people do or say, even if it's very obviously so.
you are putting minimal effort in.
50/50
>volume block is going well, doing lots of beltless work before I move into heavier weeks
>gf and I not looking well
>she always tells me I’m obsessed with lifting and that I think it’s more important than her
>have been going at 5 am just so I don’t catch shit from her for going after work at 7 pm
>even then “why do you care so much about the stupid gym”
>try to tell her how it’s important for me to set and achieve goals, all that shit
>tell her how lifting has been the only constant in my shit show of a life
>even try to invite her to gym, but she she just says no every time I ask
>existence is pain
kind of an odd choice to go on a vacation with a girl you’re not fucking desu
look, I can’t really tell without being there, but you might have a shot with her. that phrase might have been straight talk, or it might have been her strange female way of hitting on you. always observe a woman’s feelings and actions more than listening to her words. all I’m saying really is, if you feel the chemistry, and you see the opportunity, go for it
Sucks man. Stay strong. Either ditch her, or get in the mindset of ‘she can stay or go but I’m not compromising on lifting.’ Don’t try to make her understand, that’s a one in a million shot. Just don’t buckle.
Every day is one day closer to oblivion. Conforts me somehow
New to Jow Forums, been reading up on stuff but I can't sort my diet till I move out of uni accommodation (catered).
body image is starting to get to me. my friend with benefits says she likes my body how it is right now but I'm only convinced she's saying that so I don't off myself.
been having real bad problems with mental health because of that and thrle fact that i realised I'm not as good in bed as I thought I was. on top of that I've got finals for my first year chem eng degree. ALONGSIDE THAT I don't think my new house mate likes me as much as he did before.
so it's going well bud, all things considered.
It's a hobby thing, we're going to a LARP together and then spending a few days at the beach. It was cheaper to book rooms and tickets together. Well, a room.
Nah, she was very clear about her intentions. She was completely wrong about mine, I was absofuckinglutely NOT hitting on her. I never even thought that things like pulling out a chair, or offering a hand when you're walking together or sharing a cig could be taken as fucking hitting on someone. It's just what my daddy taught me as polite. I never even asked her out or anything.
I don't know, this whole thing has me freaked. Normally I would've ghosted her completely, I don't need all that drama in my life. But since the vacation is already booked, I gotta keep up some amount of contact for a month.
But I'm not seeing her tonight, that's just ridiculous. No way she's getting me to be a beta orbiter, dragging after her as a fucking puppy.
if she cared enough she would support you, if the thot just wants attention then yeet the bitch. better for both of you in the long run
Two options, she's either scared that you're doing it to 'get hotter to get with someone else'(yes, they think that way), or she's just jealous of your passion and dedication.
First one can be resolved. Second one can't.
Damn nice work on the weight loss man. You'll be fine on the bulk just don't go heaps over maintenance
yeah, sounds like you’re on the right track mate. keep a good head on your shoulders and deal with the feels and you’ll be right
Yeah I’ve given up on getting her to understand why I lift for the most part. I’m at the point where if I spend the night at her house my alarm goes off and I’m heading to the gym regardless of how pouty she gets about it, I’m past the point of defending my actions
I think that’s the biggest thing honestly, she acts like I go to the gym to lift with thots and shit. Regardless of how long we’ve been together or how many times I tell her I don’t go there for anyone but myself.
Holy shit dude and the comments of othet anons are retarded as fuck. Are you underage? Just stop caring and do what makes fun. A lot of people there? Who cares, meet new friends dude. Challenge yourself.
21 year old khv here
feeling very lonely, i need to get a gf before its too late but i just don't see it happening anytime soon.
Also I think I failed my math test yesterday, which feels really bad because I studied a lot for it.
Other than that, I'm reading books, lifting hard and making progression to become a better human bean.
It's really not fun hanging out with someone who considers you to be a beta orbiter. And apparently all her friends do too. No, fuck that.
Can’t tell if I’m gaining all the weight I lost back or muscle. I just want to be shredded
It will be worth it bro.
Your body will adapt and it will get easier
Thanks bro.
The usual.
You okay, man?
She ghosted me out of nowhere, and I never hung with her again. Didn't even get any of the usual signs of something becoming stale.
>1700 is very low
5'7
Oh, mate...
Existence is boring, every single aspect of it, and I don't see a reason to keep going. Every single day is exactly the same, without exception. Work out or don't work out, eat or don't eat, indulge or don't, socialise or not it doesn't matter because every single interaction is shallow empty meaningless and short lived, I just want to escape and die. Nothing is rewarding exciting or fulfilling and there is no hope for a better future. I regret everything I do and everything I fail to do.
I hope I die in my sleep tonight.
Oh course it's fucking shallow. The fuck did you expect, everything to spring into a song like it's a fucking Disney movie? Just shut up and go with it. It's not like the other side is more entertaining.
Unless you're a friendless orphan, thinking about death is not allowed, mate.
How will you squat if you die, idiot.
>Unless you're a friendless orphan
What's the logic there.
I am literally a friendless orphan (I have no friends online nor IRL and I have no family) but what you said was complete fucking bollocks.
>you're not allowed to contemplate suicide or actually go through with it unless you're (arbitrarily defined bad situation created by me.)
If anything you should be the one killing yourself you braindead fuck.
Some boat with you user. I asked out a chick from work who I thought was hitting on me. She said I was smooth and said yes. Then 4 hours later said she "wasnt ready for another relationship".
My thread about steroids was deleted but this completely offtopic one is fine
nice!
join a fire department
there's a permanent general for that you dumb cunt
Nobody will miss you, duh. If there's someone who might get affected by your death, you don't fucking get to think about it. Ever.
It's not about the situation, it's about the community, dipshit.
Now that is actually a great advice.
I think I'm getting a cold
I don't
I'm not but I'm trying to make it better. I'll get there one day. Thanks, user.
you aren't obliged to post about steroids only in that thread you fucking imbecile. autistic nigger shit
>duh
Your outlook on life is retarded.
That general exists for the sole reason that imbeciles like you flood the catalog with stupid questions, so fucking go there.
Then do something wild with your life. Travel to another country and try to live there as long as you can, come up with a product/service that will help people with their struggles, plan a heist and rob a bank, anything.
If you've reached the point where you'd be happy dying, why not try and risk something different? You could end up dying doing some of the stuff above but that is also a win-win scenario.
You sound like some teenage girl or suburban mom. Not only are you labouring under the false assumption that everyone innately has friends and family because it's just "part of being a human being", you're also saying you've decided that people have no right to do what they want with themselves (that includes suicide) because someone in their life will feel sad, despite the suicide victim in question not even having the chance to be around afterwards to see it.
tldr: You're a retarded faggot with a god and saviour complex.
I'm not saying that friendless orphans should kill themselves. I'm saying that they have it easier, it's an option for them.
>false assumption that everyone innately has friends and family
The fuck are you, a mole person or something?
i bet several people on here has next to no social life
where in the absolute fuck do you think you are m8
>social life
Who the fuck said anything about that? You still got parents. Or foster parents. Or high school friends or some shit.
>who the fuck said anything about a social life?
>proceeds to mention things which explicitly equate to a social life
You can't fucking make this shit up. Fuck
there is no intrinsic meaning in the universe, this is not a new concept. create your own meaning or stop being a coward and shoot yourself.
Were you born from a hole in the ground like fucking orcs in Lord of the Rings?
I know you people are asocial and shit, but come on. You niggas need to go to church.
havent gone to the gym in three days, probably wont go today, probably will tommorow, finals are killing my gainz
have you tried not being such a debbie downer?
