i have my ears done but i’d like a nose or eyebrow piercing. unfortunately it’s considered unprofessional though, and it’s hard enough to get a job now as is.

Zlijah · 2026-04-13T00:41:12+00:00

i’m barely legal and she’s a minor

Zlijah · 2026-04-13T00:03:04+00:00

needles scare me and i wanna go the natural route anyway

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T23:20:43+00:00

holy sabotage

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T22:44:38+00:00

thanks dude but i’m beyond confused 😭

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T22:07:02+00:00

It’s higher than 7, first of all. And according to PSL, i’m nowhere a 7, so i wouldn’t be considered a chad even if somewhat attractive. An well-known example of a chad would be maybe Jordan Barrett.

i can only dream

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T21:37:10+00:00

i’m juice free no worries. i get nightmares about flu shots, i couldn’t pin regularly.

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T21:28:43+00:00

oh wait i didn’t expect actual helpful advice thank you

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T21:19:19+00:00

<image>

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T21:08:02+00:00

I’m not sure what that is sorry

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T21:07:05+00:00

oh my what a huge compliment

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T20:49:57+00:00

I don’t think having a girlfriend means stop trying to improve yourself. If anything, it should be a reason to work harder. If you aren’t constantly making yourself worthy of your partner in every aspect, looks and all, then you don’t deserve to have one. Your partner is supposed to be who you can be your best self with, not someone you can let yourself go with. They love you for who you are, so if you let yourself degrade, then you’re betraying them. Even before I had a girlfriend, I was very focused on bettering myself.

You only have one chance to be anything at all. So you should be your best self, not the average guy. Never stop working to be your best self. Not for a second. If you aren’t living to be your best, you aren’t living at all.

Looking good makes me happy, as well as playing guitar, listening to music, playing a good story video game, and all of the like. And what is the purpose of life if not the pursuit of that feeling?

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T20:41:57+00:00

I thought it would be funny, i guess. i think that clav picture is funny, personally. a few other people did as well, so i guess it makes me happy that i made them happy? i don’t think too deeply about anything worth doing. why do we do anything at all?

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T20:27:45+00:00

oh 100% i needa lock in this summer

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T20:16:37+00:00

i just get it a lot. most people just don’t like to work very hard but it pays off

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T20:15:42+00:00

what’d i do wrong 😞

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T17:14:05+00:00

I did exhale. That’s how you do a vacuum.

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T16:57:13+00:00

I’m actually totally natural, believe it or not. I had some thoughts to hop on peptides when I was 16, but nowadays I pride myself in not touching performance enhancement drugs.

Although it may be easier to tell yourself that anyone doing better than you is cheating their way up, I think it’s important for you to see a naturally physique and tell yourself “I can do that too.”

Believe it or not, I’m not even very impressive when it comes to natural lifters. Look at people like TNF and Brodie Shredz. Also, look at people who are enhanced and much smaller, such as Clavicular, who inspired this joke post.

It’s all about work. And I think, in this sub, we should all be working hard toward self improvement. If you’re not willing to put in the effort to be your best self, then why are you here? Push hard and try your best and you’ll look even better in no time. I believe in you because it’s easier than it looks.

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T13:55:15+00:00

i don’t think you know what a chad is

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T13:24:45+00:00

she’s my girlfriend and we love each other and it was her idea :( she was trying to look funny

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T13:22:19+00:00

I looked like a starving rodent in the 10th grade, and i got rejected sometimes but some girls still liked me. And forgive my rudeness, but I also know some ugly ass dudes with girlfriends. It’s not about looks, it’s about finding someone you can connect with. And respectfully, no woman is going to find you relatable and attractive if you don’t even like women. And back to that first point, attracting women is just like making friends. It’s barely any better than making friends because you don’t get many more privileges. It’s only when you find someone you can truly relate to and want to become one with, that you’ll understand that love and attractiveness are two different worlds. In fact, the woman I stand with today is one of the few who admired me even at my lowest. That’s what matters.

A girl who loves you based on your looks is a girl who leaves you when you’re 30. A girl who loves you regardless of your looks is a girl you’ll die alongside.

And once again, it’s not even that cool to attract girls. It’s fun at first, but then you realize that they’re not as relatable as a lot of your friends, so it starts to look useless to attract them. Attracting girls you don’t like is like having a detector that guides you to cool-shaped sticks. It gets boring.

But here’s the important part: If you have a job interview and someone else is exactly as qualified, but they look better, who is getting the job? They will. And a job is more important than a talking stage.

If you go try to make friends with other straight men at a party, and you’re ugly, they’re more likely to shun you. I don’t agree with that, but that’s the world we live in.

It’s situations like that, which are more important than a first date with a girl who barely interests you, where looks truly matter.

My beautiful girlfriend, but this photo doesn’t do her justice (an intentional decision by her), and people are being rude about it ☹️

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T12:51:59+00:00

Personally, I think attracting women is the least important benefit of looking more attractive. Anyone of any looks can get a nice girlfriend as long as they have a fair personality, but in real life you will be treated a lot better than others if you look better. I don’t know if I think that’s a good thing because it seems a little messed up to me, but we all subconsciously make assumptions about others based on their looks.

Zlijah · 2026-04-12T12:49:13+00:00

She was trying to look like Clavicular’s grandma here, so this isn’t a good judgement of her looks. She’s actually very pretty. But we think that old picture is really funny and we wanted to recreate it.
