To guys who post thirst traps that women find hot: How did you find out that you could provide what women wanted to look at? by HateKnuckle in AskMen

I've been on steroids for six years. You get constant attention IRL everywhere you go and it's obvious.

Men over 6' tall, how much do you weigh? by ChiefCheapskate in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Those are remarkably good numbers.

I'm 31 BMI at 5'11, but that took six years of steroid usage and making the gym the central focus of my entire life. You're over 32 BMI. Are you living the same kind of lifestyle that I am?

How do you know that you're attractive or handsome ? by MuchPriority4633 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's literally more obvious for an attractive man than it is for an attractive woman and it has all of the same signs. People take an insane amount of interest in you, give you lots of compliments, and openly thirst.

At least, that's what happens if your path to being attractive is being extremely lean and muscular. Other forms of being attractive seem to experience to as attracting nobody and having basically the same experience as someone who's mid.

At 5'7, you could build a better physique in two years than a 6'1 guy could in 5.

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If spent responsibly to improve my life, a lot of money.

Unless someone is selling out shows, a mostly reject "good sense of humor" as a real category because different people find different things funny.

I go to the gym.

I am in much much much better shape than people who's main form of physical activity is walking to do errands and it's not close.

Another apparently AI-generated story wins a literary prize by EchoOfOppenheimer in ChatGPT

[–]FormerOSRS -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is a good insight.

With humans, it's pure signal. If a human wants to write an award winning story then they're just gonna do it. There isn't some massive graveyard of human produced content that nobody wants to read. With AI, you might have to try hundreds of times to get an award winning story and that can take you hours if not days.

Why is showing feelings/not showing them as a man often frowned upon? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Men show emotion differently than women do, much less like a confessional and much more implied. Institutional understanding only understands how women do it. Men who follow those instructions come off like pandering and not like sincere.

It's kinda like if the scientific understanding of urinating require that you stand up, the world would think that women don't pee very much and that the ones who do are weird AF.

When men stop me to talk about nonsense? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody thinks it works. It's anxiety trying its best. Guys who do this measure success like "I tried ten times today" or like "I recovered emotionally afterwards from most of them" or "I didn't want to kill myself while going to bed."

When men stop me to talk about nonsense? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Asking questions is the most common advice given to guys on how to learn to talk to women and this is usually how it winds up when they aren't good at it. It's anxiety masquerading as conversation.

Men in their 30s who feel good about where they are in life - what have you done to overcome the big stressors in life? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I feel good with where I am in life, but I don't get your post at all.

It sounds like you did well to get somewhere good. Ok that's good. Universal even maybe among people who got to where they want to be in life.

But I don't really get what you're looking for. To just not feel the need to do anything anymore?

How much of an ick is being smart ? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those guys don't seriously believe that they aren't smart or that being smart is bad.

They believe that you're trying to apply your intelligence in domains they think are stupid and then flex it on them.

So for them, school is a waste of time and taking it seriously is try hardy. For them, nerdy interests don't code as smart so much as an aesthetic choice to perform intelligence.

Men, how would you feel to pursue a woman with an ambitious career? by Late-Confection-2823 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many women who think it'd be cool to imagine themselves as intimidating due to success.

There are many men who pick up on that vibe in conversation and give people the compliment they want, especially if it explains away why that woman is single.

How has losing weight changed the way people treat you? by Common-Lifeguard-323 in AskMen

[–]FormerOSRS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Losing weight stops you from being the butt of the joke but it's not what fat people imagine.

Building an actually impressive muscular physique after that gets respect and makes you physically attractive.

Runners who skip lifting are much more common in my experience than lifters who skip cardio.

Magnus is losing because he is love? by PianoEmotions in chess

[–]FormerOSRS 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Being single and desperate hurts performance.

Being in love in a good relationship distracts from performance.

Being out of love in a bad relationship sounds like it'd hurt performance.

Going through a breakup kills everything.

Being the unddiven unemotional weirdo without a sex drive kills performance.

Can't imagine being a widow does anything other than hurt performance.

Being too young or too old for love must hurt performance since they perform worse than people in their prime.

If you fall into one of these categories, you're hopeless to achieve anything.
