    Who here uses head hunters to find the job nowadays seems obsolete.

    Headhunters and recruiters are nearly useless unless you have a special in-demand skill. If you're a typical accountant or operations guy, then they will talk to you then ghost you frequently. Don't take them seriously unless they prove themselves to you, which they probably won't. It doesn't...

    Is it worth pursuing neutral women?

    When I meet women that I'm interested in, most of them aren't eager nor annoyed when I approach them. They tend to be neutral...not completely uninterested, but more passive. They won't mind chatting yet in my mind as I talk to them, I know most of my approaches will go nowhere even if I get...

    When to bring up comp?

    Don't do anything for them until you're official at the company as the CFO. Discuss comp when the CEO gets serious in his talks about making you the CFO. Seems like he's floating around, talking to you informally, and trying to extract free work from you. When he can actually say he wants to...

    We need to have a serious discussion about this "misandry bubble" in Western Society

    True, average men are invisible to women like they're part of the surroundings. However, what the essay says is this — if more men become apathetic and resentful for unfair treatment, then the tide will turn. The article you posted on the woman being attacked is an example of men refusing their...

    We need to have a serious discussion about this "misandry bubble" in Western Society

    I have some friends who drink frequently, don't want to go out beyond their neighborhood, and play Pokemon Go. This is the rise of the man-child epidemic. I'm avoiding them now because I don't want to live a meaningless life of drinking at the same dive bar over and over again. The incentive...

    We need to have a serious discussion about this "misandry bubble" in Western Society

    Some time ago, I discovered a link to an extended essay called The Misandry Bubble on the sidebar of Reddit Red Pill. It was written nearly 9 years ago on Jan 1st, 2010. The author predicted that by 2020, this anti-male bubble will burst and result in a social correction between the genders...

    I'm burned out from women. No choice except to focus 100% on myself. (Growth Journal, Log 6 of ∞)

    @ohrein thanks for your story and I appreciate your replies to past threads of mine. I agree with everything you said. I needed to get reassurance from someone else who's been through banging his head against the wall. It's incredibly frustrating when you know that you plateaued, but can't...

    Is dating and everything else truly better in your 30s (after putting in the hard work)?

    I've heard about Chuando Tan when he went viral. It's really amazing how he retains his looks at 50, but he definitely kept up incredible discipline for decades so he rightfully earned it. His good genetics were a huge factor, but he still had to do the other 50% of strict training, diet, and...

    Is dating and everything else truly better in your 30s (after putting in the hard work)?

    I have trouble believing this after struggling with dating horribly throughout my 20s. I have 1.5 years left until I turn 30. I've searched and read through similar "dating in 30s" threads that were posted in our forum. So what exactly happens and changes for men when they cross into this...

    I'm burned out from women. No choice except to focus 100% on myself. (Growth Journal, Log 6 of ∞)

    It's been such a chore trying to game women for the past 10 years. I've been red pill since college, but I've struggled so much in getting numbers, 1st dates, and 2nd dates only to lead nowhere 90% of the time. I had to fight every single hurdle in the process. I would get a number to set up the...

    When should I begin cutting?

    @EyeBRollin thanks for elaborating. I know you said before to keep going until I plateau. I'll be sure to do that since my weight has been stable for months since I began training. Once I go from weekly to monthly gains and transition to an advanced program like Wendler 5/3/1, I'll reassess...

    When should I begin cutting?

    I'm 5' 10". I began training 7 months ago, following the Stronglifts 3x5 beginner program and now the Madcow 5x5 intermediate program. My weight has been stable, staying between 188 and 193 lb. So that must mean I'm eating at or slightly above maintenance, which is good since I've continued to...

    article: Is there a shortage of marriageable men?

    I do think something is brewing in this dating market and that it's beginning to freeze. Women are overvalued and narcissistic while men are undervalued and depressed. I discovered a really detailed article called The Misandry Bubble on the sidebar of the Reddit Red Pill community. It describes...

    What intermediate program should I do after StrongLifts 5x5?

    Today is the 5 month anniversary of my modified StrongLifts 3x5 program (w/ pull-ups) program that I began on April 3rd. I started most of the exercises with an empty barbell and progressed to today's stats below. I DMed EyeBRollin, but looks like he hasn't logged in for a while. He told me...

    Need advice, I'm not making significant gains with chin-ups / pull-ups

    @Espi Ah, I remember reading that thread of yours when scrolling through the vault years ago. @EyeBRollin said the same thing about focusing on the back in the workout routine thread I posted in this forum. He recommends 2 pulls (back development) for every push exercise like bench press...

    Need advice, I'm not making significant gains with chin-ups / pull-ups

    I switched over to regular pull-ups at the gym today. I aimed for 3 x 10 and got 8 / 6 / 4 reps. Much better than in the past where I could only do 3 pull-ups per set. After doing them, I did some thinking and figured that my chin-ups weren't getting stronger because I'm still too heavy at my...

    Do women have to be initially attracted and "choose" you before you can run any game?

    Yeah PUA courses are marketing scams that separate the desperate from their money by promising a "get laid quick" scheme. There's no quick way around success. It takes hard work and long term consistency to improve your deficiencies. People don't frame it right. You can't lose 30 pounds in 1...

    Need advice, I'm not making significant gains with chin-ups / pull-ups

    @EyeBRollin do you have a recommendation? Not sure if I should try to push harder on the chin-ups before switching to pull-ups or if I should try another exercise.

    Need advice, I'm not making significant gains with chin-ups / pull-ups

    That's fairly obvious. I'm wondering if anyone followed a specific routine that helped nail down pull-ups. I'm considering going back to lat pull-downs and getting the pulls to my current BW.
