What is the point of being a young male in 2016 and onward? What are we supposed to do? I feel extremely directionless.

>work out, get big
For whom? For fake whores who will throw you away when bored? Everyone knows all the good girls have been taken a long time ago. Just being healthy should be enough.

>get educated, get a high paying job
Again, for what purpose? Most worthwhile hobbies don't take a lot of money anyways. I'm not a hedonist. Plus, having money attracts golddiggers and fake friends, making it even more difficult to trust people.

>travel the world, get cultured
After browsing /int/ and /pol/ for so long, it seems like the rest of the world is nothing but liberal faggots and conservashits.

>DUDE WEED + other drugs
Could be bad for your mind and health, plus I'm not a hedonist

> inb4 WOW OP stop whining
That's why I'm asking the question. I'm looking for answers.

Yes trust this extremely limited and very shaded lense on the internet to express the entire world.
Fuck this is why I hate the 4Chan hugbox and circle jerk. It legitimately starts to get in your head and you believe the shit that is said here.

I'm not ridiculously wealthy but in life I've opted and done pretty well so far instead of buying a large house and expensive car, to go on trips pretty much everywhere. I'm not talking sheltered trips where one would go with family and young children. Backpacking across country sides and going to backwater cities on the Mediterranean and across Asia. I've been to some touristy places but mostly find them boring and seemingly restricted and they really only show you what you want to see. Granted I don't do shit like go to Mexico city, I'm not retarded. But anon, the world is fucking beautiful and you literally just have to stop and experience it for once by yourself, don't let any of the autists here tell you how to see the world. If you don't like it when/if you do, then I guess I'm sorry for you; but just go somewhere. Go backpack across Spain with a plane ticket and some pocket change, go to some mountains anywhere. Pick up a hobby you enjoy. Do something with yourself. There's too much to do for one life time so the way I see it is to start doing some of it.
>>
>>59973255
>For whom
For yourself.
>>
Dude fuck it just travel or don't give up hope be yourself you'll eventually attract someone of a similar wavelength
>>
You live in a place with the opportunity to leave the place of your birth let alone your home town. Not everyone on the planet gets to do that, especially experience first hand what the world is really like beyond where they are living. Do something with it. Don't waste it like so many other's.
>>
>>59973255
Take chances. Turn your life into an adventure. Live for yourself. Don't worry about the future, let it just come while you make the best of things. Get a job that sends you around so you can see the country. Keep a laptop and do what enjoy add a hobby on the side. Change things up when it gets stale. When you're ready to slow down, do it on your terms.
Don't let everyone hold you down. Go solo and be free for yourself.
>>
>work out, get big
>get educated, get a high paying job

Anyway, you have nothing better to do. Meet people and make friends. Get a pretty wife to have kids with; all modern women are whores anyway.

It's good to be in shape for so many fucking reasons. Fucking sexy bitches is one of them that you seem to be glossing over.

>Again, for what purpose? Most worthwhile hobbies don't take a lot of money anyways. I'm not a hedonist. Plus, having money attracts golddiggers and fake friends, making it even more difficult to trust people.

Financial security and following your dreams.

I want to be a therapist and I needed a bachelors to start on that path, so I got one.

>After browsing /int/ and /pol/ for so long, it seems like the rest of the world is nothing but liberal faggots and conservashits.

This is fucking pathetic I have no words for you.

>Could be bad for your mind and health, plus I'm not a hedonist

Being a depressed little boner like you isn't conducive to health either. Weed keeps me relaxed and clear headed.

You gotta fucking remember that the majority of the people here probably do live in a shit city or something. I am in San Deigo for business and I could not imagine living in this shit hole.

Stop living for yourself. Stop thinking in terms of "what will make me happy." Find a cause that's bigger than you and do everything you can to advance it. That's the only way to find any satisfaction in this world.

What cause should you take up? That's up to you. It can be literally anything, as long as you're not at the center of it. But find something, the world is more interesting than you seem to think it is.

>>59974904
Tbh I don't spend much money on individual trips. Plane ticket to somewhere and backpack around, mail myself stuff in advance.

I don't know why you don't. The andes in your country are beautiful. 10x better than the Rocky's. Go there for a weekend. Learn to mt climb.

Become religious I guess. Otherwise you have to face a meaningless and absurd life. I mean we laugh at edgy teenagers when they go through their existential crises, but they're having pretty valid insights into what our lives consist of. We just kinda stop thinking about it because its depressing and pointless to dwell on.

Kind of feel the same way OP. I've been saving up money and once I get my degree I'm just going to travel for as long as I can until I run out of money. Don't know what I'll do after that.

I've already given up on society I think. I just want to wander now.

>work out

Yourself

etc.

>>
>>59973255

>work out, get big
For yourself so you can enjoy personal strength, good health, longevity, and aesthetic excellence. Socrates said it best. Any other benefits that come with it are purely secondary.

>get educated, get a high-paying job
Education isn't exclusive to college. There are countless trade schools and industrial programs that cost infinitely less than college and allow you to enjoy higher starting wages and network connections. Again, select a career that allows you to make as much money as you want for your personal goals.

>travel the world, get cultured
The world is filled with 7.3 billion people, with lives so rich and experiences so fascinating that many deserve biographical attention out of pure merit. Sure stereotypes exist, but take them with a grain of salt. Nobody represents anybody. Go out and talk to people.

>DUDE WEED + other drugs
No one's forcing you to do anything. All drugs affect different people differently. If you have self-control issues, don't take drugs. If you don't, it's not a bad idea to experiment just because it's, speaking plainly: fun. Feeling the air tingle around you is fun. Seeing weird fucking colors and non-Euclidean movements is fun. Just don't let it affect your personal and professional life and ability to function in a healthy way and you're fine.

>inb4 WOW OP stop whining
Serious question looking for answers too: why do you cuck yourself?
>>
>>59976785
hmmmm i see,thank you for your reply
>>
I normally don't reply to these threads because this isn't /r9k/, but this feels appropriate.

I went through the whole last teenager phase, then bought into this guys >>59977028 "do it for yourself mentality". Got my prof degree, was built like a Norse God, got the girl who hadn't been on the cock carousel, earned the money, travelled. With the exception of the girl, it has almost all seemed pointless.

The world is full of people that you just don't want to talk to either because they have settled for a life of monotony or those who think they are special snowflakes. There are the interesting individuals out there, but they are interesting because they have dedicated themselves to one thought or purpose. They discard what other people think and simply wake up each morning to do what needs to be done to fulfil their cause.

I'm sure someone will come along to try and dissuade you of what I just wrote, but fuck 'em. Just do what you want and don't let anyone tell you different.

>Most worthwhile hobbies don't take a lot of money anyways. I'm not a hedonist.

Why not be a hedonist? You've already realised that nihilism is correct, why not just do what will make you happy?

>but Anon my point is that none of the things I mentioned will make me happy
So figure out what does make you happy. If you just like shitposting, vidya, and Chinese cartoons, why not just do those things, or whatever it is you do like? Of course you'll probably need to work to earn enough money to sustain yourself and what you enjoy, but judging by your flag, there isn't an easy way around that unless you come from wealth or are black.

That makes you a philosopher, look into them they are extremely similar in the ways they were able to shake off the values of their time and only focus on true meaning. Some of us have the great burden of extended analysis and coming up with better questions, there is your purpose.
>>
>get educated, get a high paying job
That's not the point of education you pleb.
Pick up a book, learn to appreciate literature, and maybe one day you'll contribute to humanity.
>>
Existence is inherently meaningless and it's your task as a human being to give it meaning. You have to choose your goals for yourself. They may be pointless from the perspective of the universe itself, but that isn't your perspective anyway.

I set goals for my life at 18 and accomplished them by 29. I've been having trouble finding new ones myself ever since, but I'm sure I can figure it out, and the search for meaning can be enjoyable in itself.

Indeed, the first step outside your comfort zone is the most difficult one.
You just have to take it hermano. I've been there and it's not easy, so make sure you take all the time you need, but trust me, you won't regret it.
Watch videos on "leaving your comfort zone" to motivate you.

Life without meaning is not worth living, so you must find one or give it your own.

A lot of people is religious because of this. Sacred books give answers and a purpose.

Passions give goals. If you don't believe in anything at least you need to find something that motivates you. Get a goal in your life. Either being bulked af, using your creativity on paintings and shit, programming, writing books. Whatever. Just make sure you set yourself attanaible milestones so you can feel the accomplisment and motivate yourself to move towards the next.

If nothing works for you just try to be the best version of yourself. At least until something comes up and you find your way. Work out for whom? Work out for yourself. Being strong and agile and watch yourself transform feels fucking great, man. Getting educated helps you find a meaning, getting a good job gives you discipline and financial estability plus opens a lot of doors for you. Try to watch the world from the top of the tallest building rather than a dark appartment, the scenario changes.

Avoid activities that naturally put yourself down and make you tamed and depressed. Do it as a challenge. Stop masturbating and killing too much time on the internet and videogames. Stablish a schedule and be determined about it. Motivation is fleeting, discipline is solid. Do activities that enforce this. Work out, read, go jogging with your favourite music. If you stablish some objectives like running x miles, read x book and do x push ups/pull ups/abs/sit ups and actually leave behind fapping and videogaming for a while your mentality will start to change.

Give yourself a month, OP. Nothing to lose, a whole new life to gain.

I'm really pissed at people like you.
Not because you are trying to give good advice, your advice is actually really good, but its not practical.
There are millions of motivational videos who do better job than your paragraph on 4chan.
But some people just cannot follow, we cannot follow. Your method is too methodical, it is cold and seems to follow a strict pattern to success.
In reality, that is rarely the case, and not only that, every person has a different thing he/she likes, for example, I hate exercising, I hate the thought of wasting my time just running or lifting weights just to have some nice muscle mass, another example would be to have company with poor quality people, I cannot stand people with a low level of intelligence, they are boring and predictable.
Again, not your fault, it is simply how some people are.
>>
>>59983317
Just messaged you bro
>>
>>59984130
I guess the key theme is putting yourself out there.

If all you do is stay at home, thinking there's nothing worthwhile out there for you, your life is just gonna pass by. You'll find yourself ten years from now looking back to an empty, wasted past.

Yes, you might end up having some bad experiences, but if you don't risk it you'll never have good ones either. Just a meh existence.
>>
>>59984130
While I understand why you're upset I have to say that you're focusing on one part only.

I gave like three options that came to my mind. Religion is one. The other one is having a passion. If, like you said, you don't like running you can paint, read, write, go hiking, whatever.

The last was answering his own post. He talked about why get fit, why get a better job, etc. I tried to explain him why and give him a reason to change.

Obviously, if you're sedentary because you enjoy your lifestyle then great. If you're sedentary and depressed then you need to change.

I hate motivational videos, none of them work. They're usually developed by people who's lifes are good so they tell you what they needed to make it good.

What else could've I said to the guy? I gave him a personal advice, he can cherrypick whatever he wants from mine and all others.

Not sure why you're particulary pissed at me thought. You say things like "people like you" "just the way some people are". Dunno man... I'm not trying to recruit him to a workaholic/crossfit sect or anything. Just trying to give him options.
>>
>>59980551
Sorry, I just got back from eating dinner with the family. I don't know what "slide" is.

After reading through the thread I've realized that while I'm sounding like a depressed edgy teenager (this last part is true), I really need to put myself in situations outside my comfort zone. For far too long, I've ran away from people and experiences.

Thanks everybody.
