Has lifting increased your confidence?
>>36962460
I'm confident I can lift more than when I started.
Some. But I still have a lot further to go.
>>36962468
Are you having a giggle there, pal?
No. Nothing's changed.
>>36962662
Why not? Have you always looked good?
>>36962460
Somewhat unintentionally. When I go out I notice I intimidate some people. Funny how it was the other way around about a year and a half ago.
Keep lifting anon, don't worry about other people.
Yes. My five year goal is to not need this North Korean missile launch instruction forum anymore.
>>36962839
You can never leave this place anon-kun.
High school water polo / swim team got me to accept my body for what it was, and to be okay going shirtless in front of others.
Lifting got me to actually feel good about my body.
Socializing helped me not be such an autist.
No, but Judo has made me more confident in my fighting abilities. Truth is I don't think I've ever had any trouble with talking to people or being confident because those who don't accept me can fuck off.
>>36962460
Asian women are gross
>>36962460
Why is she so perfect bros?
>>36962460
As a physical therapy intern, her W-sitting bothers me to no end.
>>36962982
Plastic surgery, makeup, and because she's easy to get since chinks are literally bottom of the barrel garbage
When I was 15 I lifting for 2 years, confidence went way the fuck up, quit lifting and didn't lift again until I was 21, 23 now and jack shit happened
>>36962930
> Judo
Lol. Come back when you start BJJ, kiddo.
>>36963056
She's Kazakh and 100% natty mongol genes
>>36962460
>Has lifting increased your confidence?
To some degree, it has, however in an overall general view, it has been lowered
>>36963056
She's Kazakh and they don't do surgeries like that.
>>36962460
I WANTED TO FUCK THE GIRL THAT I CROSSED IN THE STREET SOOOOOOO FUCKING BAD I LIKER HER SO MUCH,FUCK
>>36963104
Why do BJJers talk shit when most can't even get out of a Kesa Gatame
tons. I used to have terrible man boobs
now I only kinda have man boobs that mostly look like big strong pecs.
Thanks chest workouts!
>>36962839
>taking 5 years of your life just to stop going on a website
hahahaha that's fucking pathetic
oh yea it did, I used to be " that other guy you guys were with" now I'm fucking me .
lifting gives u confidence, it shows and girls notice.
ofc I was a pretty good looking guy to begin with, but had 0 confidence, lifting was what brought me into the game
You have no fucking idea.
>>36963150
>>36963136
>>36962460
If there a catalogue for kazak wives like her? Or Eurasian qts such as Eastern Russian?
>>36963104
I've done both and Judo is way better for actually fighting. BJJ rules and uniforms reduce the focus on the brutal throws the Judo focuses on. Most people aren't getting up after getting tossed on pavement.
>>36963828
I don't know but have this:

>>36962982
>>36962460
yeah because i look good, get attention from girls and command more respect people. Its helps when you have confidence already there to build on
Imitating the Hodge twins when I look in the mirror has helped my confidence.

nah. i increased my confidence. and my lifts.
>>36963359
You can't get out of your gayly named moves, I can escape anything
>>36964361
yeah after like 20 minutes of struggling and I let you out. Also are you sure you'll still be conscious after I slam your head into the ground?
>>36962460
no just made me care less
>>36962460
Yes, my self steem and confidence has increased a lot because I like the way I look now. Im always cheery and smiley now and thats helped me make and retain friends because I feel so positive.
>>36963359
you fucking idiot that's practically the first escape you learn in bjj

are you retarded
shes a volleyball player with 7'5" proportions no shit shes taller than you
>>36962460
If anything lifting made me feel more insecure.
>>36962687
According to grills apparently I do but I don't see it. Being a no-life king is the bigger issue though.
>>36962982
Her body is a lanky noodle
Ill admit her face is top.tier
>>36966693
It's a finishing position if I Armbar you

>>36962975
Sure it has, but having started from fatfuck meant having 0 confidence and learning how to deal with that feel of even the slightest positive attention.
>pic related, its a not gross azn
>>36966693
> Grapplers are all bros
This is true, I love the BJJ guys who train where I train. I think the only real people who try to start shit are Brazillians and that's because they're so fucking prideful.
>>36962460
Definitely. I started lifting when I was in middle school. I went in blind without having knowledge of proper nutrition or bulking/cutting, so I never saw major gains from it. I stopped lifting for some time, but felt like shit, so I started going back. I have a ways to go still, but I feel way better now.
>>36966625
But they train without the pressure, which is a major part of the move. Kesa should feel like you're smothered (alongside with Kata Gatame). Whenever Kesa is applied correctly with no space and hard pressure, it takes a while to get out of. That's the purpose of Oseokomi

>>36968646
Literally say anything. Easy in a bar/bookstore or coffee shop. It almost doesn't matter what you say, you can tell if she wants to talk to you based on how she responds. Then take it from there
>>36968646
>sup girl, i drive a volvo 240 converted to biodiesel on my way to my job at a non-profit tech start-up
At least, that's what I would do if I lived in the PNW
>>36968578
Dude you haven't been training for even 2 years, you put judobros to shame with this attitude.
>>36968646
Hey, I know this is weird but I am constantly seeing you around and I can't help but notice a beautiful woman like yourself. So I was wondering if you'd like to grab a drink and chat a little sometime?
>>36962460
Yes. But just enough to post pics on /fit/ and lose it again.
>>36968727
Buddy, I'm not trying to be rude or have an attitude. I was just explaining what could happen. I love all grappling because holy shit who doesn't love it? Now me being irate with that one guy is because he instigated and I retaliated, and in that your correct. Never feed the trolls my brethren.
>>36968738
90% of male population is worse looking than you, so that's something
whenever I have hard time forcing myself to go to the gym/swimming I think about all those lazy people who will never make it
>>36968765
This is whocorrect, you'll make it my friend. Youre to be amazing!!!! Whoever talks shit can fuck themselves, this progress only matters to you.
>>36968737
>beautiful woman
Holy shit ur confirmed for retarded
>>36962975
>>36968646
depends on the situation. make small talk about what's going on, what she's buying, where you are etc. you'll know within a few seconds if she's interested in at least talking by her attitude an how much she looks at you if you feel you have her attention/interest then after a few minutes just saying something like, "hey so I hope this isn't out of left field but if you ever want to do something sometime here's my number," then write down your number on something like a napkin and give it to her. worst case scenario she says she's taken and doesn't accept it but I've never had that happen to me. they always accept. they may not always text but that's ok. you are giving them a reason to not worry about you being a stalker since they can't give you their number without texting you. plus if they do text you'll know for sure they are interested. I've been doing this for a while now with great results and te feeling of rejection is lacking since it's not in person.
>>36962460
Before: borderline suicidal
After: mildly depressed
Yes, it has helped.

>>36962839
Anon, I've been here since 2005. Nobody leaves. You just migrate to more mature board until you retire and die on /out/ or /po/.
>>36972075
> Nobody leaves
moot did.
>>36962460
it's probably first gook I've seen without downy regarded face
>>36962460
Yeah, it has also absolutely ruined me. I went from autist to Chad and I've only been hitting the gym like 5 months. I go out on weeknights, come home at like 6 in the morning. Fucking like 4 different grils right now and I'm pretty sure I got oral herpes. I miss meals and don't sleep enough so the gains are probably gonna start fading.
>>36972115
Who?
>implying he doesn't lurk pretending to be Mexican and still insisting his initials are cp.
>tfw you've wasted so much time here that you remember when this was the top news story on the home page or when people even looked at the home page
>>36972116
-Says the downy retard that can't see she's from Kazakhstan.
It has made me more insecure, /fit/ is also partly to blame.
>>36972194
I remember too breh.
I found out about it in 2005 but I didn't tell anyone about it, not even my closest friends, because it was my special place to hang out. They eventually heard about it on their own but I had already been years deep in memes.
>>36969724
When girls feel my muskles yes
"Damn anon those biceps"
>>36962460
No it made me even more self aware, but sinds I got more fit I fucked some asian woman which all complimented me on my sex skills, which increased my confidence by a lot!
So keep working out guys, but don't forget to work on your social skills.
The opposite.
Before lifiting I wasn't aware about the sorry state my lats are in. I'm scared of people seeing me without shirt now.
>>36966641
You see this is no advantage against Judo, as Judo is using the opponent's force, his momentum and his weight, to slam him to the ground and keep him there.
kazakh girls are pretty good
most of them are not really slutty, ukrainian girls are the worst and are absolute whores.
>>36973759
also the country itself is pretty bizarre, are there any other anons from third world here?
>>36962460
has anyone else started to become a narcissistic douche since lifting? i used to be a shy hungry skelly who could look anyone in the eye, now it treat everyone like shit.....
>>36973759
How to obtain kazakh qt?
>>36974162
live in kazakhstan, kill and eat horses
Seriously though any anon from here can visit Kazakhstan and get a qtp kazakh gf, they fucking love white people since there isn't a lot of us here (am slavfag), especially if you have good body and are foreigner. Country has nice and EXTREMELY cheap tourism options and honestly not even that bad. Nature and girls are really beautiful imo.
>>36974218
Would it be possible to marry her and bring her home, though? I'm eastern european myself, although not slav.
>>36962460
Well, it helped me to fill out my shirts better and made my disproportionately large head look almost normal.
>>36974236
Keep in mind that they are mostly muslim. There are different types of girls with different mindsets, though: there are ultra tradionalist muslim girls, frat bitches, your typical girls and so on. I've been to USA and feel like kazakh girls are not as slutty as americans. Usually marrying is a good option here since people rely on long-term relationships more. It's harder to fuck a girl but easier to keep one.
>>36974265
Aren't there Orthodox ones as well?
t. pravoslavnik rumun
And also, even if I find a qt one through dating sites or what not, how long would it take for her(and presumably her family) to accept a marriage?
yeah it has helped change a lot of my negative thought patterns and most of my social anxiety. sometimes i catch myself using body language that i didnt use to, i take more initiative and enjoy conversations rather than turtling up at the thought of having them (with strangers)
i attribute most of this change to higher test, as i still look pretty avg and would be considered DYEL by 90% of this forum.
>>36974283
Russian girls (russians are like 20% of population here or even less) are either Orthodox or atheist. Yet to see a muslim russian or Christian kazakh. If Kazakh-looking girl is Christian that means she is actually Korean, keep that in mind lol.
>And also, even if I find a qt one through dating sites or what not, how long would it take for her(and presumably her family) to accept a marriage?
Faster than you think m8, just keep an illusion of rich powerful foreign man, your accent will help you as well. To test it out go to vk.com (russian facebook, everyone use it here), register an account and look for any girls from Kazakhstan who are looking for a relationship (search system there is fucking awesome). Use google translate to chat and you will see how easy it is to manipulate them
>>36971307
r u srs
>>36962460
I'm more confident when I have a pump and think my body looks good. But I'm still a nervous train wreck in some ways. I have a lot of anxiety over dating and feel like I need approval once I get involved with someone. But at the same time, I feel like it would be a huge relief if the girl I've been on a few dates with now would just dump my ass.
>>36974329
I'm Romanian, brate. It's not like I'm some rich western euro.
>vk
I know of vk and odno, but those aren't really dating sites, m8. It would be odd if I added someone out of thin air and started talking to her in broken Russian.
>>36974375
vk.com is great as a dating site, trust me.
>It would be odd if I added someone out of thin air and started talking to her in broken Russian.
No it wouldn't, just give it a shot
>>36974396
Well, it won't hurt if I give it a try.
What's your opinion on Odnoklassniki, btw?
>>36974416
Only old people here use it. People of age 30+ are literally its target audience. Good if you are looking for milfs. Keep in mind it apparently shows if someone has visited someone else's profile page, stalking/creeping is not an option there
Jesus Christ, guys. Find a girl that actually loves you.
>>36974128
noticing similar tendencies, but trying to hold them back
>>36974128
douchebaggery kinda synergized with my depression so I act agressive sometimes with a hope I will die in a fistfight, turns out people are pussies who will back out of a fight at the last moment, and I'm just a dyel manlet
>>36974447
We would if we could. Theyre too angry and soulless, and at my uni at least theres girls left and right becoming gender/womens studies majors and shamelessly talking about getting sugar daddies.

>>36962460
Probably decreased my confidence to be honest familia
That feeling of never being as big or strong as you wanna be really puts you in a shit state of mind.
I'm not gonna stop, but when I was a skelly, I didn't give a shit about my body and played vidya and slacked around to my heart's content. It was pretty amazing. Now I care so much about my body and its lack of size that I'm probably less content than ever before

why she posed like that in the middle of the field, in the middle of a game.
