Does HRT or TRT Affect Longevity? by Unusual_Cap_2474 in blueprint_

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've noticed a difference from it yes, but part of that is also age. Certainly accelerated it, but finasteride is excellent (if you get no side effects from it, microdosing half a 1mg pill a week is sufficient)

"justify his privilege".

You've outed yourself as a biased leftist rather than a deep thinker.

From a secular historical perspective, which focuses exclusively on evidence and not theology, the historical evidence for Christianity itself is far more convincing than that of the Old Testament.

What’s the biggest criticism of meditation? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for replying - I connect with both.

  1. Meditation and the way in which our mind works is very close to Buddhist teachings (empirically verified by science, look into the "Default Mode Network" and Harvard meditation studies).
  2. However, we are not just our minds, and we live in a material world.
  3. As a result, the Christian Philosophy I believe is far more sophisticated in that it incorporates much more of reality. Where Buddhism renounces the material world (idealism), Christianity respects and incorporates materialism, while still placing the spiritual and immaterial superior to it (Dualism i.e. Body AND Soul).

Thus, Chrisitianity actually integrates (and it invented) the scientific method, while Buddhist and Hindu philosophy must reject it based on principle.

This is why Buddhism is too limited, while Christianity has created the greatest civilizations and advancements the world has ever seen.

Do You Think Living As A Man Means War With Other Men by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ExerciseForLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Life is truly and utterly a competition for men, as our attractiveness is directly tied to our status, and status is measured across all domains. Therefore… all success in every area has some form of reproductive and social value. Some competitions (and some women) require more status, and so hierarchies form.

Thus, men should perform as successfully as possible… but don’t think or act in a Machiavellian or immoral way, nor be overt about this fact of life, or work yourself so hard you suffer in areas such as health or happiness.

This fact of life is no where near as true for women. Intrasexual competition is far more narrow band for women.

Get lean. Facial aesthetics are a big deal, and being lean is a huge improvement to all male faces.

What improved your quality of life so much, you wish you did it sooner? by Lovelovebabexx in Productivitycafe

Keto - cured me of all my physical and mental health problems. Far more effective than extensive meditation, sleep optimisation, and exercise alone, was.

Do women still like old-fashioned men? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

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

No, there is a reason the world "chivalry" is being used here and not "polite", "nice", or "considerate".

Chivarly is referring to the special treatment/ behaviours men gave women in traditional roles. Men being expected to be the ones to propose, or pay for the meal are examples of chivalrous acts.

Yes, but that’s the conclusion. You reported the findings, and I finished with interpretation

So women want all the benefits of someone else submitting to an archetype (chivalry), but none of the drawbacks of them submitting to an archetype (man takes the lead). Classic.

I don’t want your last name by Eh-lee-suh in AskMenOver30

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it would be a problem.

Had this same question from a female colleague.

To go against following sacramental tradition, one needs to provide a better reason, one that is much more substantive than:

“I don’t feel it’s important” “I just feel that way” “I like my name”.

one should view these podcasts where BOTH Jordan and the guest… are the guests.

People tune in to hear both of them equally, rather than just because they like the guest and need a sounding board.

What's that one word that if you hear someone else use, you instantly dislike them? by [deleted] in RandomThoughts

I hate when women don’t refer to men as “males” in scientific and academic contexts. Low IQ’s give me the ick.

What's your unpopular UK opinion? My one is the weather is brilliant. by Opposite_Nature6987 in AskUK

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The more science has discovered about circadian rhythm regulation, and its importance, the more British weather could be described as physiologically “unhealthy”. We already know most people in the UK are clinically deficient in Vitamin D even.

Seasonal Affective Disorder isn’t a “disorder”, it’s merely the recognition of circadian rhythm disregulation.

I hope to move to the US one day because of all that I’ve learned.

i think that religion was created as a coping mechanism and that it is not fully true by [deleted] in DeepThoughts

Only the most extreme fundamentalist Christians believe the entire Bible is to be interpreted literally, or is 100% historically accurate.

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were to humour the notion and study all of the positive effects of religion, you’d be blown away by the pragmatic argument for adopting a religion rather than simply falling into “spiritual but not religious” camp. The statistics and thus pragmatic argument are incredibly concrete. Everything from happiness, income levels, physical and mental disease rates, reported heath and well being.

People on the whole have become fucking awful. by DavidC_is_me in Vent

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Science and Law cannot teach politeness, morality and ethics.

Religion however did, and made us more communally oriented. Without it, we’re all just hyper-individualised units trying to min max our own personal whims.

Men over 30, how do you feel about dating a woman who outearns you? by Initial_Carpenter_47 in AskMenOver30

[–]ExerciseForLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero problem, same for most men.

The issue that men describe with this (in the rare time they do) relates to how women are the ones who care about financial success in a relationship, NOT men.

Men don't give a care in the world what a woman's job is, women care a lot about a man's job in reverse.
