Bar is open lads, how are things?

It is becoming harder and harder to justify playing video games as a 26 year old male. I feel like the biggest waste of human lief when playing them, even if I only play certain campaigns to see what the latest tech standard is, and never play online. I think I want to quit completely but with Outer Worlds and Cyberpunk around the corner shit is hard bro.

She still doesn't love me anymore and is happy with someone else.

This is the biggest and best looking I've ever been. 190lbs shooting for 200 by the end of the year. Had the best sex of my life two days ago, got payed yesterday, and got back into morning meditation today. Honestly I think I'm at my Natty peak hormonally and I'm just trying to make the most of it

SHould I feel bad about declining invitations from coworkers? They always ask on saturday nights, which is when I'm enjoying my sports, college football, and boxing.

I just want to feel wanted, not necessarily even a gf. Just have someone who genuinely wants to be around me.

Just quit duder they are a waste of time full of loser incels
Games used to be fun before everyone played them also
Now you have better options
Read a real book instead

monk mode is pretty good, getting decent gainz and been reading a lot

Nah tell them that's your night to rest by yourself and anothrr night works better

What are you offering to them though? Why should they want you?

Social skills are a muscle, don't let it atrophy
Ultimately do what makes you happy though

I met and had a fuck buddy relationship with a varbie looking escort about 3 months ago and now I can't stop thinking about him lately.

>What are you offering to them though?
A friend

Bro are you gonna be a friend that people can enjoy being around? Are you gonna be someone who brings positivity and confidence to the people you're with?

pathetic
women want god

About to transfer to a new position in my company, going to be doing more stuff I want to be doing in the next 5-10 years even though at the end of the day it's a lateral move that pays roughly the same.

Had surgery last month and I haven't been liftan, started going back this week but I'm just sticking to the treadmill and light exercises but it feels really fucking good to be back.

There's a qt regular at my gym who I've caught staring at me but I'm too much of a sperg to talk to her, what's the consensus around here about approaching girls at the gymnasium? Even if it doesn't lead to a relationship it'd be nice to have a workout buddy.

One bud light please

I don't have anyone to hang out with anymore. I graduated high school 3 years ago and ever since then, nothing ever happens (except the occasional family things). I want friends to be around. Someone on here suggested I try meetup.com, but all of the things on there in my area aren't little group get togethers. That, plus the things available in my area are things for like elderly people or people older than boomers. Thinking about going to the nearby Sonic and chatting up a conversation with some people who look my age. I feel lonely a ton nowadays.

>Bro are you gonna be a friend that people can enjoy being around?
Everyone likes different type of people. What a stupid thing to say.

Yo, just started lifting again after a huge ass pause. I expect to get back on track physically, but at the same time, I wish I had enough money to live a solitary life somewhere in a fucking village. God, my best friends are either drifted away or dead, and my current ones are bunch of freaks I secretly hate yet I am not better than them.
Fuck my life dudes. I hope I'm gotta climb out of this pit.

Met a girl at the club yesterday, made out and now I've been on my first date with her.

Winter is cooming so it's kinda sad. I really like to do rings workout in the park. It feels so good when fresh wind hits your naked torso.

What fucked up shit?

Keep climbing, user.

True, but nobody likes someone who is needy or negative

Girls get hit on a lot at gyms and I generally wouldn't recommend it. They're there to workout.

However that doesn't mean you can't be friendly. Nod, say hi, introduce yourself sometime. Extend the olive branch. If she shows interest back after that move on from there

Eh. I'm okay.
My leg is still busted, had to get surgery on my knee a couple weeks ago. So I can't work out which is really hurting me a lot honestly. It's strange having something that you routinely do taken away from you. I'm also hungover so that sucks too. Guess I'll just have a coom to Rosa from Pokémon and pass out then go over my bro's place to watch some Yu Yu Hakusho and drink some beers and then be hungover again tomorrow

had a mediocre workout week, did a sick cunt 2h workout this morning to make up for it. She was there, the girl i like, doing stiff legged deadlifts. I didn't have the courage to start chatting, the only thing i dared ask was if she needed the ez bar next to her. She didn't speak great English (im in the NL) so i 'flirting' chatting would have been akward or bothersome for her. Still, i feel i could have done more. At least i managed 3x5 110kg frontsquats..

Out of nowhere I'm seemingly becoming a Chad. I swear one week ago I was going on about being an incel but in the span of this week I've had sex with 2 women, have had multiple others mirin' or flirting with me and is currently making progress with a girl I've fallen for. I don't know what it could be other than girls sensing that you have alternatives.

Other than that I managed to pass all my exams over the summer so I just have 1 year left to graduation. All this while wageslaving so I got my finances secure aswell. Literally just hear eating a delicious dinner after finishing a work out and everything feels fucking amazing. Is this what making it feels like? I have been a virgin to the age of 24, been homeless, been left alone with no family members caring. I've been so deep down the hole I seriously considered roping and now I'm here feeling on top of the world.

Two things you need to understand:

1. Everything post-2005 or so is being made by fags and women, so the entire well is poisoned.

2. The ultimate video game is Reality 2020: Racewar Edition and there's no reason to play boring antiquated shut with unrealistic graphics when you havw the privilege of habing been aelected for the beta testing of this far superior, more engaging game.

You know, this feeling, it cannot be described well. As if something push you so hard, you've got an enormous weight on your chest, and you just realize after a few seconds you are going to give up because, well, you wasted all your energy already, can't handle it anymore. It happens in every aspect of life. Every shit that just supposed to be natural crushes you. Sometimes I come home and wonder how did I manage to get into that hell. Only lifting gives you control.

Working out always helps get me through the days. I've got a massive inbox full of job application rejections, actually just got one like ten minutes ago, and it's really starting to kick my ass. Gonna go for a run then get some lifts in.
We're gonna make it, bro. I don't know how but we're gonna fucking make it. Keep climbing.

>gf forgot to take the pill during the first week
>came inside her
already sweating bullets and praying that she's not prego

Just one foot in front of the other.

I feel you bro. Broke my hand last year and losing the gym made me extremely low energy. Can you ride a bike or something?

Oh shit, been there, brother. You're probably fine if she's usually good about taking her pill but keep your fingers crossed.
Morning after pills are like $50 but effective for up to 72 hours after conception if it was very recent.
Good luck, dad.

IT HURTS TO GET UP AND WALK

would be too late for that now, bro.
literally praying atm. no one warned me about this before finally getting a gf.

I've gone through a lot of self improvement but started to notice a lot of what I don't like about myself also stems from Jow Forums use. Idle browsing, endless pornographic bombardment and negativity.

I think the final improvement pill is leaving this place, but it's been 13 years and I can't imagine not going onto Jow Forums.

inb4 try moderation, I'm just not that type of person. I cut something out entirely or I will find myself slipping back into a habit.

Something for me to ruminate on in the coming days.

Nah man, meniscus repair surgery. I'm not allowed to bend my leg more than 90 degrees or do anything stressful. And I gotta wear this brace in my leg and keep it locked straight when I walk
I guess I could do stuff on a bench or while sitting but I do calisthenics because I'm a wagie and need more time in my day. So I really need my legs for the movements that I do. And I also like to run and I'm gonna miss running this fall. Which is shit.
But either way I'm glad to get it fixed. I'd rather just get it over with so I can get back to my workouts ASAP

Have you considered not taking Jow Forums so seriously?

I suggest you read this book by Arthur Schopenhauer
archive.org/details/essaysofarthurs00scho/page/n27

It should provide some insight especially the "Wisdom of Life" and "Counsels and Maxims" part.

Slowly getting over my girlfriend who I broke up with over a month ago. I do get lonely occasionally and have this guilt since I broke it, but I get over it quickly.
Honestly, I thought it would be harder as I was with her for 4 years (with a few breaks), but I already find myself wanting to fuck other girls (which I also was while in the relationship and it was one of the reasons I ended it). I guess this is just man's nature. I think I'm gonna embrace it instead of trying to deny what I am.
I feel like I'm a lot more chill than when I was with her. I guess it's a result of just being able to focus on yourself when you are alone, and focus on your surroundings and other people when outside. A nice balance. I think that when I was in the relationship, I was thinking about myself, what I'm doing and what I want to do, very little.
Hope she's okay though. She was good to me.

Hang in there, man. I think every couple goes through that scare at some point or another. Sucks that you can't really know anything before she actually misses a period.
But pop some fucking bottles when she finally bleeds. Keep the faith.

>t. 17 y/o zoomer

My friend broke my finger so can't lift just as I'm about to start uni, completely ruined my plans

Staying on the diet is hard.

Based. You're right where I'm working towards, bro. Any tips that helped get you across the finish line faster?

Fair point.
You know what's worse than cheaters though? Literal retards without basic reading comprehension.

I used a snowball calculator to better direct the flow. Otherwise, just be as frugal as you possibly can. I just cut my expenses as low as I could for the last year.

>Literal retards without basic reading comprehension.
suck my dick and explain what you mean

He wrote he WANTED to fuck other women, not that he actually did it retard

Re-read my post you incel. I didn't cheat, but I was thinking about fucking other women.

Cool, I'll look into something like that. I'm already living dirt poor but I want to set some goals for 2020 and such. Thanks.

Im a self hating jew and I hate everyone at my family gathering

Feeling empty but trying to get back into lifting as I’ve been skipping days recently. Also Gana start counting calories seriously again. Is the proper way to find your caloric maitnece your weight X 15?

>lifts going well still progressing
>tfw no gf is getting bad and the fake one I told my coworkers is looking less and less believable
>fucking tired all the time due to working and shit sleep schedule
>don't talk to women
idk man when does it get easier, hopefully I get in with the electrical union and that gives me some status or something.

I wanna aproach girl from gym reception. I don't know how

>tfw no gf is getting bad and the fake one I told my coworkers is looking less and less believable

lmao explain? Why would you lie about that

out of curiosity user, why did you tell your coworkers that you have a gf (fake)?

Pretty good. Applied for a new job, got it. Pay raise and 10 subordinates. Went to sauna, having a few cold ones. Watching TV. Training is good. Wife and kids are doing well. Yeah, no real reason to complain.

>need boomer boss to think I'm a normal well adjusted person so sort of made up a fake persona and maintain it pretty well
>was expecting this to be short term but job search in my field has been fucking slow so I've been doing this for 3 or 4 months.

Well done user. How did you meet those girls, tinder?

I'm kind of hesitant though because I don't know how close the two girls are and I don't wanna be seen as a two-timer. First time I've ever been in a situation where I'm talking to two girls that know each other. Thoughts, Jow Forums? FWIW, They're both international students but not from the same country.

today I had to bury my dog. When my last dog was dying I chickened out, because I was just a stupid teenager. This time I decided to man up. I was diging the grave when the vet came. They didnt even wait for me. I came a minute late to pet my dog lifeless body. I was extra nice for him the whole day but in this crucial moment I was absent again because nobody let me know. I really hope he forgives me for that.

Rip in pepperonis, doggo.

my squats are fucking shot because i have tight hips
my deadlift is 2pl8 when i haven't worked out in 2 years
can't even squat a fucking pl8

it's not, I'm actually retared, so I'm sorry about that,
however English is not my native language
so again, suck my 7.2" dick
your still the asshole because you didn't break up sooner and wasted the girls time

Best friends dad died, how can I best help him other than being available for him to dump feels on me?

I can 100% guarantee you you'd mumble that shit under your nose if you were to see me in real life, if you even dared to say it all.
>your still the asshole because you didn't break up sooner and wasted the girls time
Fair point. I was, and still am, a dumb kid, and she had a soft spot for me, which I abused unintentionally. I've learned my lesson and will not be making the same mistake in the future. I can only linger on this so much before I go crazy though. I have to move on.

Occasionally go out with coworkers or friends but even that doesnt really do it for me. Idk I just feel like something is missing, like I am trapped. Gonna get a motorcycle license soonish, I have been entertaining the thought for a while now and always had a crazy fascination with just being out and about on the open road or driving at crazy speeds. Maybe it will kill me but I just feel like I have to feel what it's like or I will always just sit in my room watching videos of people riding their bikes while I sit there wondering what the fuck I am doing with my life.

Doing ok, still searching for a job but my lifts are slowly going up. I started doing a powerlifting program last week, it's tough but fun.

Think of shit to do together and ask him all the time. He will decline. Just say okay, no problem, but keep asking.

Sorry about your dog user.

sometimes you will hurt people. That doesnt make you a bad person. Honestly, good people sometimes do bad things, its not so easy. Repent for your sins and be better next time.

I think you should just give him time and after a few days try to be extra nice to him to show that life still goes on. Invite him for fishing. Never done fishing with your dad? Even better, forge a new bond.

OP here

Runner high still feels nice. Also seems like a lot of anons are doing well today which is always nice

thanks. But its how the world works, he was 12 years old. I made a cross out of sticks for his "grave" but my sister said dogs dont even need a cross because they go directly to heaven.

Why I am drinking again?

>I'm sorry for your loss [insert friend's name]. If you need anything, I am here for you.
Apart from that, you don't do anything. We usually understand the person's worth once we lose him. If he is alive, we take him pretty much for granted. So death is just a reminder to not take things/people for granted and cherish the time you have spend with them, because there is no guarantee you won't die in the next moment. Today you woke up. There are people out there who didn't.

I dont know user I am always so fucking tired recently. I am not even pushing that hard but I just feel like laying around and sleeping all day. I force myself to go to the gym and somehow the strength is there to even move real weight, doesnt change the fact I feel terrible whilst doing it. I just wanna lay around eat and sleep all day and feel kinda depressed often. Two days ago in the gym I was squatting and a girl was waiting for the rack and did some box jumping stuff next to me. Could tell she was impressed with me squatting 3.5pl8 for 5 reps with clean form. Still mustve looked a bit weird seeing a dude jawning and looking like he is about to fucking die and then get under the bar have a 1000 yard stare and bang out 5 reps with weight that maybe a hand full of people in the gym could move.

Maybe it is my diet, maybe it's something else. I just feel so down. I feel like whenever my life starts to improve I get punched in the face and have to scramble to get back up. I am so tired of it all, I am not suicidal but I just have become numb to some degree.

do hikes with heavy ass backpacks
if you can
do yoga
don't lose it all from an injury if you can do minimal things
also don't perlong the injury by trying to keep working out on something which will stop the injury from healing

fuck that
be proud of who you are
don't let this place fool you
