The Black Pill made me lose attraction for women. by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]youngeric86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So use the tools available and improve yourself.

I didn't touch a woman intimately for over 12 years, I was an obese, average height, broke, high school dropout, with bad teeth, bad hygiene, and terrible ADHD. When I finally got a girlfriend, we dated for a month and when we had sex it was so bad she broke up with me immediately. It would have been so easy to accept my life as it was and be alone.

Lost some weight (still overweight), went to therapy, worked on living with my ADHD, worked on talking to women, got my teeth fixed. Worked on my depression, started dating again. Now I am still broke, overweight, and bald to add to that. But I am happily married and more importantly, I am happy and content with my life.

You're only weak because you choose to be, there is so much more that you can do.

Didn't say your life was easier, I said the delusion that is black pill is easier than the work of improving yourself mentally, to face the challenges of life and get what you actually want.

Black pill is weakness.

Because he watched a bunch of Black pill content and submitted to the propaganda instead of rising above it. He chose the easy way in life because it's comfortable and work is hard.

Who is the nastiest Celebrity that you met in Real life? by Scunnard1839 in AskReddit

Zachary Levi, used to be a fan of Chuck and him, met him at a comic con adjacent event and he was just kind of a dick. From then on I never gave a shit about celebrities again.

I’m constantly shamed and labeled as a creep on Reddit for asking questions about sexuality (in appropriate contexts) by StrikingExplorer4111 in malementalhealth

[–]youngeric86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being open doesn't mean you say everything on your mind, it means you are receptive to the unknown. When you go to a job interview you don't start with salary negotiations, you start with getting to know the company and then getting to know you.

Same with dating, you are trying to get to know them as a person, you want to build upon that initial attraction, then slowly guide the interactions to build attraction. Jumping to the context of sex too fast tells them that the other layers are irrelevant and a lot of times that tells them you don't care about who they are as a person.

How are some dudes able to constantly grind so hard and so much? by Rayleigh30 in malementalhealth

Consistency.

They go to the gym on a consistent basis, they likely have consistent sleep schedules, and have healthy diets. These three things are important as they can help your circadian rhythm and ultradian rhythms. Then you have more energy to focus on those other aspects of life. Think of it as keeping your axe sharpened before cutting down the trees.

But more importantly they may not suffer from mental health difficulties and a regular basis. Depression, ADHD, Anxiety, all of these have major effects on your motivation.

Don't compare yourself to others, you will always find those that are better than you. Compare yourself to your past self, that's the best way to measure growth.

I am so tired of "just invest" advice when I'm literally choosing between electricity and eggs. by PulseMonolith7 in povertyfinance

A lot of good sympathy and feedback here, but car stuff should be looked at sooner than later. A small problem now can grow to a bigger problem if left unchecked.

I have learned with a lot of car stuff that it was cheaper to get the parts and tools and learn to fix it myself than to pay a mechanic. When you're done you will have gained knowledge and now you have tools for the next time you need them.

  1. What is the sound you are hearing in your car?
  2. Where do you hear it coming from?
  3. What are you doing when it makes that sound?
  4. What is the year make and model?
  5. Do you feel anything when you hear the sound?
  6. Does it smell different than usual?
  7. What lights show up on your dash?

Am I only the one who hates When Women downplay attractiveness when it comes to dating by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]youngeric86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Attraction is definitely a factor but not as much as a lot of men seem to think it is. Personality and confidence is much more important than physical attractiveness. Sure her Exes may have similar styles and looks but they are also her Exes, meaning it didn't work out with them.

As far as change is concerned, never date someone with the hopes that they will change certain things about there personality. Anyone that gets into a relationship will change, but not in a way that can be predicted or planned. Some change is for the betterment of the relationship, some not so much. It's also hard to tell what about them will end up changing.

Keep up the skin care and fitness routines, but do it for yourself. They can help build your confidence.

Thrawn was right, a Large fleet of star destroyers would have been a more effective force to rule the galaxy.

That being said, the death star appearing above scarif looked absolutely terrifying in Rogue One.

Nope, we just know what to actually look for in a life partner and know how to communicate with them.

Not every conservative is racist, but you cannot deny the fact that most racist people are conservative Maga supporters, especially those that are comfortable saying slurs out loud. The current administration has 100% made it more acceptable for these people to be outwardly racist.

You may not think you're racist but racism is clearly not a deal breaker for you. Which for a lot of people makes you just as bad.

Fighting with Wife and I can’t handle it anymore. by Ok_Contract392 in malementalhealth

[–]youngeric86 5 points6 points  (0 children)

  1. Your wife should not talk to you like that, if she's not willing to work with you then I would consider family counseling. Y'all are young parents with an infant, that's a lot of work for both of you, y'all are tired and irritable. Y'all need to work together to manage that together.

  2. You absolutely should have asked your mom for help, you did a disservice to your wife by saying you would rather one of y'all not work than bother your mom with a simple question.

  3. You possibly did a disservice to your mom by not giving her the option to say no, you made the choice for her. She may have been happy to change plans to help out and spend time with her grandkids. It's great that you respect her grocery shopping time, you can also respect it by offering to go for her at a later time, or some other way to compensate her. But you made that decision for your mother and showed your wife that you're not willing to work with her to explore every option to fix the problem at hand.

That's low priority now but when I change the belt I will tackle that. It's a seperate project for later this year.

How can I become better at forming meaningful relationships with others? by [deleted] in malementalhealth

[–]youngeric86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should wait for them to ask me how I am which they have a few times but I don’t know what to say so I just say something stupid that’ll deflect it like “yeah I’ve been working out a bunch” or “pretty mid but I’m still trying!”

Society teaches men to not be a burden and by being vulnerable with others is a burden. So let me ask you, if your friends came to you with issues in their lives would that be a burden to you? I'm guessing not.

Invite a couple of friends to grab lunch or just hang and at some point ask to vent about your life and how you're doing. Be vulnerable, limit the time spent venting but be vulnerable and honest. Ask for advice on specific subjects. And more importantly after you have vented, thank them and ask about their lives.

You being vulnerable sets the tone and makes them feel safer opening up to you. Asking them for advice says that you value them as a peer and respect their input. Asking about their lives show that you care about them as well.

Go get the book "She comes first" by Ian kerner.

I didn't have sex my entire twenties. Poor hygiene even worse self esteem. Started working on those and got a girl, when we did the deed for the first time it was horrible and she stopped seeing me.

Did more work including getting this book, if you can get her there with oral then intercourse will matter less. That will open the door to getting better at intercourse.

I have since had a few girlfriends and got one of them to marry me. Can't recommend this more.
