There is much talk about "Making it" here, but it seems that everyone's views on it are subjective.

What do you think it means to make it?

It's a meme from the Zyzz days co-opted by autistic /r9k/ gentleman supremos to mean self improvement. Typically it involves getting a girlfriend. Unfortunately your average virginal robot doesn't really think beyond finally having sex so that's about it for the most part.

Some would say that it's reaching that point of being happy with your life. I'd agree with those.

There are many levels of "making it" and they all boil down to personal goals. Set well defined goals for yourself and when you reach them then you've "made it". Then you set new goals, reach them, and repeat. "Making it" is an attitude, not a defined level of fitness.

I never want to "make it". Because that would mean I would be content with where I am at that moment. It is a man's duty to always improve and become better than he was yesterday. Stagnation is worse than death.

You're never gonna make it m8. You gotta figure it out yourself
>>
>>37305366
The problem with making it is that at some point you will fall back, and once you've made it you hunger for it even more. Body wise I didn't really make it until sophomore year of college. But I had already traveled the world, been in enough whacky amazing incidents that I became immensely popular, slept with a good number of women, had a beautiful 9/10 gf etc. And recently alot of it has left my grasp. Even the body. So it sucks, you have to remember that maintenance is huge and you can never stop making it.

I know what you're saying, but I was genuinely curious to see what /fit/ had to say, and maybe to help everyone here form a collective definition so everyone can stop shitposting as much (which probably won't happen)

Your lack of ability to discern when something has an obvious subjective definition indicates your suffering from an autism spectrum disorder. Get yourself tested if you haven't already.

This was obvious, anon

This thread was more of an assessment

How hypocritical of you to tell someone they're autistic
>>
>>37306605
Consensus is at best useless when it comes to something so subjective.

Face it anon, you made this thread because it hurts your head whenever you see someone be so vague as to have claimed to 'make it'.
>>
>>37305366
>What do you think it means to make it?

Making it is going outside and having complete confidence in your physical appearance and various abilities that you find pleasure in.
It isn't about women or being alpha/beta.
That sort of egotistical nonsense is what numales believe.

>we're all going to make it
and we all can

>>37305366
making it means finding enjoyment and fulfilment in everything you do, its mostly interpreted as leaving 4chan, finding a few more hobbies, getting a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, and of course getting fit, which is either as a fraud or as a natty.

The whole point is to never be satisfied with your current state, and I am talking about everything, not only fit, you will never have read enough, learnt enough, experienced enough....

What defines us is that, even knowing the pointlessness of all this, we keep on exercizing, learning and getting better at something.

On the long run, it is what we call a 'civilization'.
It is up to you to take part of it.

you're overreaching here, to make it doesn't mean to rest on one's laurels, it simply means being happy with who you are thanks to all the hard work

its about escaping the grasp of your previous failed life

Whoever you are obsessing over is going to float out of your life in no time. girls wait for guys to notice them, guys acquire contact information and set a time and place.

I don't think so, pointlessness is what gives us meaning because it simply not determined by anything but our will, in this we truly accomplish our nature, from which we derive our character.
