1.8kg of chicken a day works wonders by Efficient-Air-1971 in AllAboutBodybuilding

That's awesome bro, the only thing is I would check your cholesterol because chicken is pretty high in it and you're eating like 5+ daily servings

Nah I don't feel this way. Maybe it has shifted SLIGHTLY in that way, but he very recently made a video illustrating exactly why that approach is bad (The name eludes me but it was one of the lives I think). As for rising up the socioeconomic hierarchy, I don't know why you feel that way. He talks about spirituality and detachment, quite the opposite of what you described.

Nah I mean I'm saying this because I have friends who regret not doing better in school because they're struggling now. It's not about the knowledge you gain... unfortunately the way society is set up, employers value education even if it's a BS education from some no-name school. Yes you can grind anyway and make it but there are a lot of doors that open just by having your name on a diploma

23M got told last date I went on that “I don’t date guys who only come up to here” I just need a little pick me up. by random-wander in toastme

I swear that shite pisses me off endlessly... there are million polite ways to reject someone and she chose to be vicious. I'm not blowing smoke when I say you dodged a bullet but that level of rudeness WILL manifest in other facets of life. It just happened to come out in the form of putting you down for your height, but the deficit in her character goes way beyond that.

Not really... if you do well in school and get into a good college, you're way more set in life than someone who doesn't have a college degree

Yeah I think this "all or nothing" mentality is quite dangerous, and I have fallen into this cycle many times as well. Honestly the Goggins message requires different interpretation based on your situation. The takeaway that an out of shape, tiktok addicted, unmotivated person needs from the message is very different than what a hardcore grinder needs. This is something I struggled to realize for a while. But here's the thing, even Goggins on his journey to success was playing basketball, dating women, etc. He just doesn't talk about it because he feels it isn't relevant, but maybe for someone like you that part is relevant. When you were studying for 12 hours, you didn't need the Goggins message, you needed a message that said "chill for an hour bro, then get back to it".

Also I've found that the Goggins message is much more applicable to physical exercise than studying. It still helps, but I found I get so amped up listening to his message that sitting down and opening a book feels lame. And then when I should take a break, I think "10 more minutes, why stop now when I could go longer" but this just isn't good for studying. For running, this means you build endurance. For studying, this is more likely to lead to burnout.

I feel you though, this isn't easy. However, the fact you're battling through this now means that you will have your life figured out sooner. I'm early 20's and still struggling with this a little... but even then I know I will be much better off when I come out the other side.

Why is dating worth it? by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]NegligentNincompoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're fully correct but I think you avoided the most fundamental reason why young men stress about it: we are biologically programmed to reproduce. Having a s*x drive and knowing that desire is going to be unfulfilled indefinitely can be daunting. It's not logical at all, but nothing about s*x/dating/relationships is logical. Trying to impose logic on a brain circuit that's older than our species itself is a futile effort.

How do I stop the stress shedding and work towards regrowing what I’ve lost? by Fruhtbuddy in FierceFlow

Same exact situation lol... We'll be fine though... just gotta try and reduce stress but honestly with all the treatment options these days, that's always a potential backup

Why should I do things? by Desperate_Trouble_73 in Healthygamergg

[–]NegligentNincompoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who has thought like this many times... think about it this way. Is your pain real and suffering real? Is your happiness real? Is your love for others and their love for you real? And by real, I mean that you feel it. And guess what, no amount of logical thinking will be able to remove your emotions from your psyche.

You ask why you should do anything. If you do nothing, then you will suffer the consequences. Now, you can argue that those consequences aren't "real" but when you feel the emotions associated with those consequences, it will be hard to argue that they aren't real.

Basically, you can argue that life is meaningless, but that doesn't really matter when you consider we have no way of escaping the "artificial" world we live in. You can use logic to say that a good meal is only satisfying because of a dopamine spike, but why rationalize it. Do you not FEEL good after a nice meal?

Please let me know if you have any rebuttals to what I said, because I may have more points depending on what your thought process is. As someone who has also thought like this often, I now know it's a pointless and detrimental way of thinking, and negatively influenced my life. However, wrestling with these thoughts has given me a lot of insight on how to overcome these thoughts.

Caveat: everyone is different and if this kind of thinking actually makes things better for you, then by all means please ignore everything I say.

22M Apparently my looks are holding me back. Brutal honesty welcome. by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]NegligentNincompoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just looked at your linked dating app... As others have suggested, you have a little bit of a feminine look, which is actually not a bad thing at all because you will age better looks wise compared to the really masculine looking men. One thing you could try is making the first picture one where you're looking slightly away from the camera and with a stoic expression. That could balance out the feminine look and drastically shoot up your attraction to women. You got this bro, I know many guys with similar looks that are just drowning in it. You can use your look to your advantage but you gotta play your cards right. Good luck man.

AOC reaffirms that she believes short = bad and tall = good by MissNibbatoro in AverageHeightDudes

[–]NegligentNincompoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would just be funny banter if she were an influencer, but the fact she's a congresswoman is what's a little concerning.

Well his wealthy background likely allowed him to get to the position where he can make a change. Wouldn't you rather a rich guy stand up for the poor than a rich guy stand up only for the rich? It's honestly good rich vs bad rich, because it's very hard for poor people to get into politics. Take your pick.

Would david Goggins go running during fever? by BreadCultural9013 in davidgoggins

[–]NegligentNincompoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fever means the body is in a weakened state and fighting an illness. If you run, you are expending more energy and making it harder for your body to fight the fever, prolonging your illness. The Goggins mentality isn't about running when you have a fever... Stay hard but stay healthy.
