you are 100% correct OP

unfortunately many here will disregard

don't let these mental manlets get you down

w-we're gonna m-make it

chads don't worry about what other people think about them. if you're not a chad, join a fraternity. it goes a long way in making you more confident in yourself. dead serious.

>>42005051
Wrong
Chad's give off the impression of not giving a shit, while still putting in shit tons of work.
You think all those college frat Chads just laze around and drink beer? They all hit the gym semi-regularly and watch what they eat, then just make it seem like they don't to make it seem effortless.

>>42004802
Yeah, and most of those are ironic and part of the game.

>mental manlets

they're called brainlets, brainlet.

>>42004802
People do lift for themselves, Sherlock.
Me being attractive and physically desirable - who benefits most from that?
Do i do it so others can enjoy looking at me, or to benefit from looking impressive myself?
When you lift for someone else, you do it to please them specifically.
Also anyone with a functioning brain knows that a healthy body is one of the most valuable things in life for the person having it.
You fundamentally misunderstand /fit/ ideology and your "epiphany" is common knowledge.

>>42004589
LMFAO

The only thing that matters in social settings is your physique. If you're attractive, people will get interested. Otherwise they'll fuck off real quick.

This tends to stop at age 40 onwards, where he careers tends to matter more.

That is true, I'm 6'4 and how people treated me when I was 150lbs and now that I'm 210lbs is crazy, suddenly EVERYONE is nice to you, I could se this start happening sooner though, the more size you put on the better people treat you - out of fear or something else, is not important.

>>42005051
they downplay their efforts because they don't want to seem like tryhards, this has the knock on effect of being a positive reminder of a persons shortcomings rather than a negative one, which makes people look up to chad instead of rejecting him for being better than them, this in turn increases the chad effect and makes chad a decent person to be around.

>>42004802
>I lift for myself
>I lift to improve how other people perceive me

both of these are lifting for yourself, the entire OP is talking about how improving peoples perceptions of you increase your quality of life, both side of this argument are the same side

>>42005159
>where he careers tends to matter more
I don't think that's the case to be honest

later in life interest tends to be about the things you've done, the experience you've had, it's just coincidental that for most people their biggest accomplishments/experiences are career related

I lift to relieve anxiety

looking like jason momoa is a secondary goal

>>42004802
Lifting in order to be admired by others IS lifting for one's own self. You do it because you want YOUR life to be better.

u r right
is there any more literature i can read about this OP? can u drop more red pills

>Do you have a great body?
I'm lean and healthy looking at about 15%BF, not really muscular yet but I'm still in my first month.
>Are your hobbies interesting?
I have ambitions to become a CGI artist and people often ask about it and it forms a great conversation subject.
>Is your living space clean and impressive?
I live in a clean and decent upper-middleclass home. My room is often messy but not many people go there.
>Do you have elite social skills? How own do you practice? Can you talk to anyone?
My social skills are fine. I am not really charismatic but I can have great conversation with about anybody.
>How quality is your social circle? Do you have the ability to shape your own?
Almost all my close friends are chads. I frequently hang around with interesting and popular people.
>Is your job one of status? Can you sell your skills to employers/investors?
No, I currently work as a baker at a grocery store but I would be able to get a good job when I have the time for it.

But this hasn't stopped me to perform autistic behavior like posting on 4chan of all places

My body is shit
my hobbies are videogames
my living space is garbage
i barely talk to anyone
my social circle is full of outcast and ex-jailed dudes, not a single female in here
my job is one of a wagecuck

atleast i can bench more than my bodyweight
op is right dont neglect everything that isnt lifting

Shit genes probably
Brain is fucked and i'm not good at anything no matter how much effort i put in.
Also a 26yo virgin too poor for hookers.
Some of us were never meant to make it.
That's why i love lifting, because it requires close to no fucking talent at all, just hardwork and discipline. Also genes if you want to compete but i dont because i know i wont succeed.
