MoneyMaxxing, Gymmaxing and Self Improvement in General Lead to Loneliness and Unhappiness

[MatureDJ]

Gymmaxers are in a similar boat. They somehow think that maxing out their bench press or the size of their biceps will lead to more women, better looking women, or perhaps just a sense of supreme confidence. The problem is, gymmaxers are largely unappealing to women, most of whom prefer a leaner, athletic look rather than a bodybuilder type. Not to mention, they are more likely to become insecure as their new reference group becomes the 'roided out meatheads who work out 24/7 at golds rather than the average joe, so they never feel adequate or good enough.

BULLSHEET! The alpha man gets the poon.

the more resources you have , the more it is likely that people want them and try to gaslight you in giving them a part to them

which leads to actually have less friends , etc etc

mainly this happens because you will start rolling with people that have more or less the same amount or resources , or because they are indeed super erudite and great people to have around

% wise it is a low percentage from the whole population

Yes. True friendship cannot exist along a hierarchy. It can only exist between contemporaries. Wealthy high-status men can only have real friendships with other wealthy high-status men, and by its very nature, there aren’t many of them. He may have better access to women, but is always left with some doubt as to whether the emotional bond is simply a masquerade for something more transactional.

that is why you see most of the times wealthy men and women marrying each other , if they are more or less in the same age group

and this is why you always have old sayings that “ marriage between different classes never work “ , and all this movies about love between different social classes

There are plenty of STEM majors with tech jobs making good money who can't attract women even with their sports cars

Just thinking money in the account and a sports car will get you laid is pretty much BETA behavior in my opinion...

Money is a tool (and a great one), and yes it can buy you happiness to some level of extent - but if you are not happy from within yourself before you get the money - then you will very likely not be happy with it and thus; you will still not get laid too lmfao.

You need to work on yourself both from within and external to to become the best version of yourself to have the balance in your life where money actually is a real happiness booster (and you get the girl too xD) .

far better be sad with a full bank account then "happy" living below the bridge

serious you guys really should stop worrying about this kind of thing, of course media will tell you you will find happiness if you are a nice well behaved slave for the system and there is nothing better then making a men be tied to a woman, who will spend his money without a care

I've never been happier than when I play Subnautica in VR. I was a kid in a candy store when I found out I could ride around in a little flying saucer at the bottom of the sea.

The gym is boring asf. I used to workout everyday and the majority of guys there had no other hobbies, their whole thing was how much they could lift and some stupid high protien diet. I got together with a few after our workouts and they had NOTHING to say and no game at all to speak of. A bunch were hoping that somehow one of the ugly gym broads would pay attention to how much they lift or grunt or something. The worst is when you see these guys trying to hit on the girl by spotting her. Girls don't goto the gym to pick up guys.

Contrast that to the arcade where guys went to play DDR. The hottest fvcking women I've ever seen were the pros of that arcade machine. They were all having a ton of fun too.

Gym bros are devoid of fun, that's their problem. Women love to have fun and they love a guy they can have fun with. When she's bored who is she going to think of, dumb gym bro benching 200's or that rad skater guy who taught her how to ollie?

I've often wondered how points are scored in the dance game. The only somewhat comparable game I know of is a rhythm game like Rock Band or Guitar Hero - for the guitar/bass part, there are 5 different notes, and the notes scroll down (the actual notes are compressed into 5 different notes, and I must say that they do a pretty good job of having them feel natural). Here's the most difficult track.

Dragonforce - Through the fire and flames (Expert) - Guitar Hero III

Yea, yea, yeaaaa, I know what you're thinkin "people still play Guitar Hero?? What a nerd" Well screw you :P Guitar Hero 3 is an amazing game, and since I am...

I used to play that and my then gf was crazy about it. She sat infront of the TV punching the buttons constantly. I had the drum set (which was used once), the mic and the guitar.
