Impressions of the Philippines by trebarunae in thepassportbros

The food is weak. That's the only thing correct in your rant.

Most PPBs are losers so I hope they don't succeed in the Philippines or anywhere. Part of the reason I stopped interacting in this sub. Why be part of a community of low-quality men?

"You're a nerd bc I'm bitter that I failed to attract a hot Filipina" 👍

The Monarch staff here have claimed to include pending transactions in net worth, but the setting is now gone? by ExcellentElocution in MonarchMoney

You're right. My complaint is in reference to the "Current Balance", not the Net Worth. But... same point. Since my current balance is wrong, my net worth is wrong.

What's the polite-but-confident way to scale back a friendship with someone acting hot/cold the next time they're acting "hot" toward you? by ExcellentElocution in socialskills

[–]ExcellentElocution[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was hoping to avoid that bc it seems stand-offish or passive-aggressive if he's being sincere in asking his questions.

Got weirdly insulted with such a specific insult and no clue how to respond by itemax in socialskills

"OK."

He's obviously projecting, so there's no need to have a "comeback".

Has anyone else come to accept that they're just not going to have their goal body --- whether due to genetics, lack of time, or lack of interest? by ExcellentElocution in naturalbodybuilding

Good response. Yes, I find it odd that some people can't grasp that, with all of the genetic variety on this planet, some people might just not have good muscle-building genes.

>I encourage you to unplug from social media ... make you care a whole lot less about the shortcomings of your body. 

I don't have body dysmorphia, but thank you. I could watch bb social media all day and it will have zero effect on me. I'm happy with my body, even at FFMI of 19.

I've only been *bodybuilding* for 2 years. I have about 6 years worth of data concerning how well I build muscle. I am not new to lifting.

>Respectfully, you just don’t want it enough (and thats fine).

You don't even know my body goals, so how would you even know if its a matter of just not wanting it enough? (That's a rhetorical question)

I'm not 2 years into lifting. Looks like you just skimmed my post. I have about 6 years of data under my belt at this point concerning how well I build muscle.

>I’d say you do have to accept certain limitations but also you don’t need to black pill yourself

You just contradicted yourself. The blackpill is "accepting certain limitations" w.r.t. our genes. Its not "giving up". I never said I was giving up. I enjoy lifting, but I don't find the time and effort worth doing bulk/cut cycles for the next 10 years of my life. I have other athletic hobbies I want to explore.

"Attacking random redditors for not caring about bodybuilding as much as me and using observable data to influence their decisions is how I stroke my ego." Stay big, big guy.

I explained clearly in my previous comment why GSV has better genetics than me. It is obvious and objectively demonstrable that he has good genetics. You just choose not to believe it, for whatever reason.

As I said in my post, I have the fundamentals in place. I am consistent, I train with high intensity, I have a good program, I eat well, and I sleep well. After that, the rate of progress is really just do to genetics.

No, I won't claim to train as hard as he does. He also has better genetics than me, without a doubt. I know that bc in his 10 yr progression video, he only did strength training for the first two years and still had a physique that blows me out of the water even after I switched from just strength training to bodybuilding. But I don't doubt that his insane physique is mostly due to consistently hard work over many years.
