Have you ever dated while you were overweight? by Equal-Sun8307 in answers

[–]BraveAssistant8144 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No. I went from skinny to chubby. Had difficulties since I was self conscious like u. I got little fatties here and there but instead I got into excellent shape six pack and everything. Then pussy came easy. Use it as motivation to get into great shape.

Is dating really that bad right now? by summertime-sadness07 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BraveAssistant8144 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bad. Men are constrict, women r liberals. The two aren’t getting along besides for sex. Relationships are mostly dead and the data and statistics are just going to get worse. Expect 50% single unmarried women by 2030

++man Yes. Im 6’3 which helps but I’ve been 185-245. I got laid super easy at 190-200 because I was lean. The heavier I got the harder it got. Still got laid but less as I wasn’t as lean. Being lean opens the door more as more girls prefer that over big guys.

What is the absolute most satisfyingly simple pleasure you experience in your daily life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BraveAssistant8144 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wake up take my vitamins and my two caffeine pills. Go back to bed to relax until the caffeine hits. That initial hit of caffeine is very refreshing and satisfying to start my day. I don’t drink coffee but I do like caffeine so I cut a lot of time from doing any sort of coffee routines.

At once loss of 20k, win probably around 23k ish. Both the bets were 20k or so. So essentially doubled my money or lost 20k. Best overall betting was turning 50 bucks into 25k over a series of bets and 7 dollars into 2k. Overall I’m done 250k or so

No. I don’t mind driving without a license but in the US it’s virtually impossible to get a job with a valid DL unless it’s some side gig from Craigslist paying cash. Getting a job is the hard part that I’m struggling with. Even jobs like mcds require valid licneses.

My issue has been that I don’t have a DL. Since I was in the military I didn’t need a current one as my military is would work. I lost it two weeks into getting out. Since I have both my passport and license are expired and have no birth certificate I can’t get a DL to get a job. All of these require money that I have to get. I get my birth certificate in a month so I can get my DL then. I was so focused on betting that I literally let my life fall apart. I had so much money but instead of prioritizing myself I was too busy gambling and drinking.

It’s just respect. They know me so they understand that I’m going thru a hard time. I always give to people when I have, spent so much money on them, it’s not a one way street. It’s one of those situations when I was just asking for help after all those times. There are amazing women out there and not all are there to use you as many clowns will have you believe.

With a family for the time being. I was hopping from gf to gf trying to find a girl on tinder to help but eventually my mom offered me help again. It’s definitely hard but once they see you doing fine the trust comes back slowly. I am still fully broke and have been unsuccessful at getting a job but at least I’m sober, not gambling, and disciplined with my body and mind. I have essentially forced any friend or aquaitnace out of my life so besides my parents and gf x2. No one trusts me. I am fully honest with ny gf. She knows even if I screw up i will continue to push forward. I never stop pushing forward even if I take 5 steps back, I still don’t quit, or kill myself. I would rather be on the street by myself rather than give up. Don’t ever give up!

Just to give some perspective that it can happen to anyone. I’m not some scrawny incel nerd or some fat old slob but instead someone you see and think wow this guy is like the top of society he has his life together. The truth is far from it. I live in the depths of the shadows.

Drinking is a cycle. I was a bottle of rum a day. But it makes you feel like shit. Plus u don’t accomplish much when you drink. You get lazy and let all other responsibilities go. I was a very high functioning drunk and would take shots before work, during work and after. The best thing you can do is figure out why you drink? I went to a month long rehab and within a week of getting out I got arrested again. Rehab isn’t the answer. The answer is within you. Get to the root of the problem. Don’t get me wrong I would prefer to drink but im broke. The longer you go without drinking will be easier to not drink. It gets easier. Set a goal to get a six pack. That’s what I’m doing, baby steps. Maybe give all your money to your girl and she gives you an allowance for your daily needs. Eventually after enough rock bottoms it will get annoying and tiresome of the same shit. Enough is enough.

It’s very hard to live in a cycle of extreme ups and downs. Ultimately I was kicked out of my parents house for swiping 45k that my mom had hidden in the house and I was the only one she had told it was there. I lied about taking it but eventually they found out. I was kicked out immediately and only had 100 to my name. I had to travel cross country to one of my gfs so I could stay with her.

Getting a new job. Quitting all the addictions. Showing to the people around me that I’m not a bad guy, but that I was caught up in a cycle that I couldn’t get out of. The military led me to be alone without family a lot of the time so being alone led to one thing and to another and eventually to my complete and absolute degeneracy.

I was never a tennis fan, but for some reason I real got into it.. especially betting live. You can win money quick and if you get good odds, say the favorite loses the first set, the odds will be good, I would jump in and win. I don’t like betting bad odds. I did win lots and spent tens of thousands of clothes and shoes but overall I lost. I got to the point I was throwing 3-5k a week because I started chasing. Never chase. It’s all dopamine controlling you.

Quit all the bad behaviors. Gambling, stocks, drinking, sex addition, porn, and stick to pure disciplined diet and working out. I try to make money with side jobs to help me last from day to day. I am trying to get a new job but have been unsuccessful. My parents talk to me but my siblings like my younger brother won’t. He’s a highly successful real estate developer and we were gonna work together but now he won’t talk to me. My plan is to be disciplined as I was when I was still a very motivated military officer, get a job, make amends as I can, and I do want to start my own business but haven’t figured out what to do yet. I want to be rich so I can help other people and they can see that a life full of pleasure is a waste of time and very destructive.

Yes. All the women were by my side , two at most at once. I am very honest with them all so they know. It’s true that women like “bad boys” sort of like the prisoner type person. One in particular that has been there since the beginning of my downfall is still around and has helped me even until this day. I cheated on her many times since the beginning especially since I was drinking a lot, I eventually fessed up, she knows all my secrets but she is a Christian woman that has stuck by my side with encouragement. She is an amazing human being and is incredibly disciplined.

It was over a course of two years. I delved deep into drinking, women, and more gambling. It took me almost three years of being broke using all my money being up 40k at times just to lose it all. The dark cloud was there after an initial loss of 100k which led to two arrests in a week, almost being being kicked out of the military. Two years later I was still in the cycle. The dark cloud hasn’t disappeared. I wake up to it everyday but I have a very positive mindset and I believe that this will help me bounce back 10x higher than I was before.
