    Success Journal - The journey to actualising one's potential

    Wasn't able to implement learning Computer Science from scratch for a few reasons. My ex girlfriend broke up with me literally a day or two after I wrote the above which completely disrupted my flow and took me away from my centre. Also given the current condition of the crypto market my job...

    The *No Contact* Challenge! ( Read this if you just got dumped)

    Day 37 37 days is the longest I've ever gone NC. I broke after 37 days NC with my BPD ex back in 2016. Couldn't handle the feelings of loneliness and loss. I was a much weaker man back then. I still my most recent ex of course. And the sense of loss was particularly palatable last night, where...

    Day 35 Well if she was entertaining other options towards the end it doesn't matter now anyway. I doubt she was but can't rule it out. Plate I'm seeing has caught feelings and isn't handling my indifference well anymore. Will need to start atleast giving the appearance of investing or move on...

    Thanks man. One year. And to make matters worse the plate I had come round went nucleur (she's on the crazy side) and just left. She's starting to sense my undifferenxe towards her due to my feelings for my ex and she's acting out. So now the calmness and chilled out nature of my ex looks even...

    Day 34 Weird day. Professionally everything was great. Project I'm working on is making fantastic progress. However I've been craving the ex strongly throughout today. The heart (and d!ck) still wants her but the mind is moving on. Have a plate coming round tonight. Nothing a nut or two...

    Day 32 I find watching nature documentaries is another great way to move on. Watching BBC's Blue Planet on Netflix at the moment. You can see the forest through the trees or in this case the ocean! Remember gents, this is one girl in a world full of women. It's impossible to remain focused on...

    Day 31 I bought a luxury timepiece yesterday. My first Rolex. New. From the dealership. It had only been in for an hour when I happened to see it. I knew if I didn't act fast it would be gone by the end of the day, so rare is the occasion to find this model. It's a sports watch and so very hard...

    Day 30 Last one or two days I’ve been angry with the ex. Angry she left me. Hit the ego. I’m fine now. Probably because I skipped the gym and meditation yesterday and haven’t seen my main plate since Sunday as she’s on her period – it’s hard to be mad when you’re getting reverse cowgirled by a...

    Car Buying Advice for Inexperienced Driver

    I am almost 30 but due to living in a metropolitan city with good transport links all of my career have never needed to use a car. Interested in buying a car now purely as a luxury item and have been looking at entry level sports cars. I'd like to start with something like a Porsche boxster...

    Day 26 Think less, do more. Thinking is one of the great traps in post-breakup depression. Many men, when they find themselves feeling low after a breakup, indulge in two types of unhelpful thinking. First they dwell on and brood over the loss and the problems arising from it; and second, they...

    The best option for men is definitely MGTOW, the dating game is a lose lose game

    You can't have the pics without the lifestyle and you can't have the lifestyle without the money. They weren't social retards so it's not like they were saying "take me to Dubai" but they were generally a lot more responsive and chasing me once they caught a glimpse of the lifestyle I was...

    The best option for men is definitely MGTOW, the dating game is a lose lose game

    I would caveat this by saying that money can be directly attractive insofar as it provides a glimpse into a man's way of being. By that I mean women are attracted to the lifestyle that being with certain men brings. A guy with zero net worth who spends all his salary on holidays, sports cars...

    Cope with the shame

    This is how it starts... You need therapy / anger management NOW. Don't let the situation get any worse. This is an internal problem that isn't going to be solved by reading a few posts on a forum. The alcohol simply lowered your inhibitions but is not the fundamental issue. Your appraisal...

    Not for the easily butthurt: Any strategies for building a good Instagram account as an older guy?

    This. Thread Bump. Anyone have additional tips for upping the instagram game? I slacked off over the year as ended up getting a girlfriend and neglecting it completely. Down to only a two hundred or so followers now.

    Day 21 Just a note on reframing and how it worked for me. My thought process works as follows: I recognise that I have incredible value while acknowledging a continuous necessity to better myself personally, mentally and financially. I’m not improving myself in order to be a better Ken doll to...

    Day 20 Has been by far the easiest break up I've experienced, although quite difficult in the first few days. I have almost no negativity towards the situation anymore and I'm actually grateful for the opportunity to get some space and work on myself. What has really helped was: Allowing...

    Just broke up a few hours ago

    Ignore the title. This is actually a great video for explaining the psychology behind a breakup and both hers and your feelings and mental states. My advice. If you were an ******* apologise NOW, then go NC. The reason I say to apologise now is because if you don't then you'll likely use your...

    Day 19 Great weekend. Do miss the ex from time to time but more the memories and the good times than anything else. Reality is she no longer gives a crap about me and I'm ok with that. She disregarded my feelings and doesn't see the value I know I have so she really isn't worth thinking about...

    Day 16 Acceptance. I have never felt like this during NC, which reflects the growth I've made since joining this site 10 years ago. I don't care about my ex. I don't care about finding a hotter girl, which really was only a means to address a bruised ego from being dumped. This thinking only...

    Day 11 Ups and downs throughout last few days but generally content and optimistic of the future. Forward planning always energises me. Hooked up with first plate since the breakup tonight. HB7. Another Italian. Mind automatically compares every girl I date to the ex HB8.5 but it's hard to be...
