Well yeah, might is the better word. It might not work out for everyone because everyone is different. When I say workout, I don't mean just do some workouts and you'll feel better. It needs to be accompanied by a lifestyle change and a desire to improve if and only if you're sick of the life you are living. It's not a one goal solution because if it was, I doubt anyone would be depressed if they had the answer right in front of them. Honestly if you're depressed, what I'd recommend first is therapy and help on that front.

i also play competitive games, if you don't understand why competitive games take energy, i'm not sure what to tell you
that you're being elitist and hating on the very things you're doing?
yeah
sorry buddy, I talk to people every day who are in platinum ranking shit like on League, and while I loathe that game, they're in far more competitive environments than you.
I play Rocket League on a daily basis competitively. Like top 5% in the world tier in Solo Duel... Sure it might be stressful to play at times, especially in tournaments but I love coming home after a long day and playing it. Like fuck, competitively playing Rocket League is one of my favorite things to do.
I also enjoy competitive Rocket League
What confuses me is the lack of energy or "mood" to play it. It's supposed to be fun, like that's supposed to be your free time fun activity, regardless if it's competitive or not.
I stopped playing games competitively mostly a long time ago (like Halo 3 days after hitting Brigadier General on Lone Wolf) because I realized I was having far more stress than I was having fun on a game I enjoyed.

well no, you see, because that was my point from the beginning
you were giving advice to jono saying "working out will get you laid and improve your life in general"
all i said was "yeah but maybe it won't though, that's not guaranteed"
Sorry, but I think you misunderstood me in the first place, or I expressed myself wrong, so allow me to try again. He was asking about confidence boosting and I said (or meant, i'll go back and read it) that working out will increase your confidence tenfold, and a benefit is also the attraction bonus. That's not me trying to get him laid, it's a simple fact of how human minds work. Fat/obesity is inherently unattractive because it is unhealthy, and has a load of negative connotations with it (we could go into depth with this since it's not always been like that, but for the sake of this post let's not). Even if someone is zero interested in women but wants to feel better about life, I'd advise them to consider adding workouts to their lifestyle (along with other things). That's what I meant. Whether or not you disagree with it is another story entirely.

i'm $100K in debt because my college career didn't pan out the way i thought it would, but at least i have 20 extra years to slave away paying it all off because i'm just so darn healthy!!!
no one is asking you to prolong your life, just realise that some people could conceivably want to for good reasons.
It doesn't even have to be about prolonging it. Just improving quality of day to day life.
explain how feeling sore for hours in the morning because i expended all my energy lifting or running the other day, and not having any remaining energy left to do actual fun things, is improving the quality of my day to day life
Your argument is already flawed if you have your own threshold of what fun is. Some people find working out as fun as you find something like Zelda (which shouldn't surprise you considering others enjoy something like CoD all day for fun, whereas others don't) that's what makes humans unique and allows you to argue with them all day. People have different opinions and ideas.

A serious post though
Verb I see where you're coming from with it all being pointless from the bigger picture, since my mind wanders that way on more than a few occasions with regards to other worldly issues.
We just come from fundamentally different standpoints and will disagree. My mindset being that if my life is ultimately pointless and serves no real purpose, I might as well feel good and enjoy it while I can, and maybe try to make an impact on some idiots lives.
That's about it really. And now I'm gonna try not to die on Escape from Tarkov.

I mean I think Luciana's point is that you might live to be 40 - 50 but the quality of your life might suffer. Various issues that add up to make it less enjoyable.
the world is shit, i'm poor as a motherfucker, and everyone's a fucking idiot but at least i have abs :DDDD
what a joke
lmao, have fun with your various nagging physical ailments that could have been prevented from spending a bit of time doing some exercise.
don't, you'll only encourage him more

On a completely unrelated note, a lot of people enjoy working out for the sake of doing it.
people do that with anything really sad neets and depressed people (me) use video games as escapeism so they don't commit suicide for another day normies hang out with friends or workout cuz it releases good feelings in brain then you have the weirdos who want to get away from everyone and enjoy nature, so they go hunting

I would further argue that but with Verb it's impossible as he'll do his usual bigger picture humanity is pointless thing, and his mind is already made up, so let him keep being verb talk with him about how the new Zelda wasn't that amazing and suffers from the same open world crap MGS V suffered from

It was an example
average lifespan is 71 for men, 81 for women, so you're about 20 years off with that unless you hop over to Africa maybe.
you've already wasted several years of your life on here so it's not that bad a step up

I'd get with you in arguments but I think old age is retarded too, but no I was thinking 40's and 50's, and I encourage you to do research on what obesity does to you, along with exercise in general. It's not even about life and death either, it's about every day activities that can be miserable on you.
your ignorance on it is pretty telling

holy fuck your peoples arguments with verb are fucking retarded
you don't need to work out to save yourself from a situation that risks your life, and you don't need to workout to be a beefcake
It's simply desirable to stay in shape for a myriad of reasons, attraction to men/women being the least of which. Unless you wanna die early and from complications, or feel miserable, don't get fat and don't abuse your body.

On top of all of that and to your point about the first 2 points just being good things to develop in the first place, learning to listen is another great tool for general use. Paraphrasing is a good way to do this.
Asking questions is another great way to get anyone talking. An interesting sort of thing is that people love talking about themselves. So asking questions (without sounding like you're interrogating them of course) is a great way to keep up conversation. "How was work today?" "Oh that's good / bad, that must've felt pretty ________. What did you say to them?" stuff like that.
An advantage to this is that if she starts asking questions about you and stuff you're doing it's a decent indicator she might be interested.
Also just in general listening is a pretty good habit to acquire.
This is some good advice and I've been thinking about asking her these same questions. Small talk is all I really have time for whenever I get the chance to talk to her because we're always busy.
Also some other info about her is that she's beautiful, has nice hips, keeps to herself, and is rather shy. She doesn't seem like a social person because I usually see her walk by herself and talk to 1 or 2 other girls that she works with.
The girl that works in my department who used to work in hers told me that she is single too.
i gave you good advice bitch and you didn't like my post fuck you

What if you're some overweight dude
1. Workout. Looking better means you feel better and releases endorphin's all up in your brain even then, chubby people can look good if they know what they're doing
144
« on: February 01, 2018, 04:59:52 PM »
basically it's not worth it
Made me laugh anyway, even outside of relationships, developing the first 2 things is something I believe that leads to a happier life. Being more charismatic in general and not a social outcast afraid of talking to people will benefit you in any social situation, really.

I should also remind you, and anyone reading, that even if you're not too confident with your looks, as long as you clean up well, you're mostly fine. A lot of people look ugly due to their style (hair, clothes, etc), and less because of their actual features. Not saying they don't exist (because they most certainly do), but yeah.

If you want a serious reply, it's gonna be rather long... But 3 things you can do to appear/practice being more confident. Keep in mind this is very general stuff.
1. Workout. Looking better means you feel better and releases endorphin's all up in your brain
2. Work on eye contact. This one takes practice if you're not confident enough but it's vital. To keep a long story short (google more if you want), when you look away from someone, never look down, look to the side. Looking down sends a signal that you're "below" them, and not at their level. Don't ever look up, looks like you're rolling your eyes.
I know that all sounds small but humans have a keen knack of picking up on those things, be it actively or subconsciously. Studies show that nailing eye contact the right way gives loads of benefits for attraction.
When you keep eye contact, lean back a bit so it doesn't feel too intense. Lean in only when you want to show you're really listening, etc. Also don't just never look away lol, just make them know you have your 100% attention. Trust me, in a world where we're plagued with people looking down at their phones, you're at an advantage by just realizing something like this exists. People want to be heard, want to connect. Do it.
3. Just fucking ask her in a way that's not bad, so something like
"Hey we should grab coffee sometime."
And go from there with that response. It's casual, and not too intimate like a movie, AND the most important part is you're not asking her a question and setting her up for a yes or no answer, you're suggesting something in a more assertive, but not overly assertive, way. Get her number if she agrees to it. Something like "cool, let's swap numbers and find a time that's best for both of us."
Again, you're not asking a question. Also, make sure it's during a weekday. Weekends are too intimate as well.
And always keep in mind that by NOT asking, you're going to be sitting here on Sept, wondering what could have been, and beat yourself up over it. Just ask, the worst that can happen is that you get turned down.
Well, she COULD laugh at you, but that will never happen, and if it did, she wasn't someone to go chasing after in the first place at all now was she?
Good luck, cunt. Don't fuck up.

Anyway, my most radical belief would be that you should have to pass a test on what you know about the basics of the country you are in to vote (so for America, the constitution, and various positions) , and that's a view that shifts from "it should be a thing" to "well then again..." constantly. I just believe people vote without much knowledge of what they're voting for, or the impact it has. Regardless of if you liked Trump or not, some people legit voted for him "for the memes", and then when he won they were surprised, and subsequently, angry. Same with Brexit voters.
People are fucking retarded.
I also have the belief that if you abstained from voting in the US, you don't have nearly as much a right to bitch about the current state of things than someone who did their civic duty.

I think patriotism is retarded and dangerous (depending on your definition of it I guess)
The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does - Sydney J. Harris
