A Call to Action!

[Warrior74]

When did you last pull some ass and wrote a field report?

When was the last time you helped some young kid in the discussion forum?

When was the last time you reached a personal goal?


All I see is a lot of bytching and moaning and no action. A lot of theory and talk, and no action. A lot of blaming and shaming, but no action. If you can't talk about solutions and results you might as well join a bridge club for whiney b1tches. Bunch of handwringing limpwrists on here and on rationalmale.com At least on Zenmack you have to show and prove, not theorize and moan. Are you guys men or what?

Me. I kicked a girl to the curb who was trying to friendzone me this week. I deleted my facebook as it was wasting my time. I met with a web developer for my website. I saw my FB and got a bj (she was on the rag), I'm rekindling things with a former FB.

I know some faggot is gonna call that bragging, but its just showing you that I'm taking action in my life. Where is your action?

Tell me about action. I fully expect nothing but the same ole bullsh1t to come in this thread and moan and theorize. And that's how you other readers will know who is who and what they are really about by their responses in this thread. Watch and judge who says what. I expect rampant faggotry and theorizing discussions and personal attacks. What I don't expect is people to actually post what actions they are taking in life. Prove me wrong mature men.

"Rampant faggotry", lol :crackup:

Well in the past month I set new PRs (personal records) in the squat, bench, and deadlift. I flipped an 800 lb tire for reps and loaded a 240 lb stone to a 5' box for reps.

I've been maintaining frame with my current gf, and a couple of times blasted her thoroughly for some bullsh!t she wouldn't let go. In the past I wouldn't have done that; I'd be too afraid it would end the relationship. I've also realized there are some areas I've been slipping up on just from reading posts and reflecting on my actions. Better late than never.

I'm finishing revising a paper I wrote that will be published in the Journal of the AAOS, and another manuscript I wrote will be submitted to International Orthopaedics.

I got an interview at a grad program in November, and I'm still slated to compete in New Hampshire's Strongest Man in November.

Some things I could improve on, like producing more income and expanding my social network. These have always been weak areas for me. But, last night I forced myself to take action and took a swing dance class. Granted, it was with my gf, but I would NEVER even consider taking a dance class before, so I'm glad I did it, even though I sucked . I also realized what a CLUTCH way dance classes are to meet girls. Everything you need is there!!! A little tension, sensuality, kino, time for conversation and number exchange. Gold, Jerry, gold.

That's what I'm talking about! Now is the time for action!

. I deleted my facebook as it was wasting my time... Where is your action?

Good post. Theory is only as good as it's proof. And to have solid proof, well, we gotta have consistent action.

Oh and i've also stopped using facebook - f' that - if people wanna talk to me why not do, using the phone or e-mail? However, i still use it for contacting family and all...can't deny the power of facebook when it comes to posting pics...

This is the whole fvcking problem; a world of internet nerds that want to mentally masterbate their anxieties away by READING; just like a bookworm. And the whole self-help industry has exploded to meet the need. IT IS ALL BULLSHYT. All of it.

The only thing that matters in this life is ACTION, period. Nothing else, EVER. I read this **** for 10 years and very little changed. I started taking real action in confronting my fears and I've grown dramatically in the past 6 months. You have to push, otherwise, seriously, just ****ing run your car in the garage and kill yourself. What the **** is the point?

I want to make more money, boo ****ing who. I want to date a supermodel. I want to be respected. I want I want I want. All this is biitch talk.

You want to make more money? Then bust your asss at work; stay late; increase your education; take a risk. Because I ****ing promise you that you will never in your life make a ****ing penny if you don't take action.

You want to get in shape? Then get your lazy ****ing asss out of bed 30 minutes early and go run and stop stuffing your fat face with doritos. Because I promise you that one push up will do more to shape your body than a lifetime of reading testosterone nation.com.

You have a specific fear or phobia that is holding you back? Get the **** up off your chair right now and go face it head on. You deserve a raise but are too afraid to ask? What the **** are you scared of? Got a girl who is sending you ovbious signals but you hesitate like a homo? Fear is nothing but irrational beliefs that you've allowed to grow to epic proportions and upon which you've created a huge ego investment over time. These fears become so powerful that your mind honestly feels that you will DIE if you confronted it. So of course, in the most powerful interest of self preservation you AVOID AT ALL COSTS! Avoid reality and escape to the internet of your fantasy world of cathartic masterbation. The very moment you go through the anxiety and panic of facing a fear and realize that you didn't die, and the world is still ok, your confidence will spike dramatically. And from that day forward till the day you die you will never again hesitate from fear.

OK, that is just something I wanted to get off my chest. It's been bugging me for a while. It isn't targeted to any individual. I had a PM from a new guy who asked me what he should do to get good with women because he has already read the bible, pook, rollo, anti, this guy that guy whatever. I just told him that taking one action will do more for your life than a lifetime reading.

Damn good post.

When was the last time you helped some young kid in the discussion forum?

Try changing a young man from a nothing cashier at Pubix into a congruent man with a solid 8 as a devoted girlfriend.

Brother Gabe is testament to walking the walk.

Mentoring the younger man.

and:

Shut the fvck up and do it already.

I've stopped making crass judgments. Doing all of these things in the real world have helped me hone my bullsh!t detector which is how I can call shenanigans on most of the idiocy spewn around here.

Try logging out, disappear and change a life rather than merely rambling about it.

Fine, I'll play. This is more weird and hilarious than anything else, maybe I have a twisted sense of humor.

Last week I was at a house party with some friends, friend of a friend's birthday kind of thing that I have met a few times but that's it, older guy (I'd guess mid 50's, I've actually never asked his age).

Anyway, there's this chick that's kinda cute I've met a few times hanging out with these guys - this is not a big city, let me tell you! So, I chat with her a bit, things seem to be going well, then music starts playing and a few of us go to the dance floor. Chick and I make out on the dance floor, and I feel my balls-senses tingling. I look around, and sure enough, there's the fat, ugly ****blocker giving me "The Stare." You know it, the "I'm so offended you're making out with my hotter friend!" one. So I brace myself for the inevitable intervention and see what she's planning.

Her plan was a bit surprising, so I ended up taking a back seat and watching the drama unfold. Her plan was strange, she went to talk with the birthday guy and somehow convince him to go dance with the chick too, and in a few dances I see them making out. Hilarious stuff.

So I take a chance during a lull in the dancing and go talk with her.

"Hey, I didn't know you two were together." I used a "gee, I didn't know, I hope I didn't mess things up" tone for that.
"Who?!" She replies surprised.
"You and Bob." (Not his real name).
"Oh! We're not! I... I just love dancing." She seemed a bit hesitant here.
"Oh, I see." At this point I use what a Roissy would call a ****-eating grin.

I give her a last knowing grin and move on, and as the music resumes I go dance with the rest of the group. I notice that Bob's suddenly finding some resistance. He lost his frame and ended up begging her for "one last dance, come on."

I think I succeeded wonderfully at making her suddenly self-aware of her sluttyness without calling it directly. My not giving a crap probably helped. Have to remember that one.

Not long afterwards the chick's wanting to dance with me again, and ****blocker gives me a last venomous look before disappearing - her direct attempt at ****blocking was largely ignored by the chick. Good riddance. I hope the cheeseburgers comforted her that night.

Not that I was expecting much out of her, quite frankly. She had already dropped to a possible pump-and-dump, which went straight to dump when she suddenly freaked out in the middle of us making out again.

She texted me (I never gave her my phone, so I'm guessing she got it from one of my friends) that night when I left the dying party to apologize. Still don't think she's worth the trouble though, too much of a basketcase - and I'm not known for giving two ****s about much... Oh well, fun stuff anyway.

Plan without action = No desired result (0%)

Plan + Action without Perseverance= 20% chance of desired result

Plan + Action + Perseverance= 90% chance

Myself and two friends have successfully gotten funding for our engineering start up. Our next course of action is to get more! sounds simpler than it is, applying for grants is a pain in the ass.

I've already equalled last years income from the office[or exceeded it,depends on what the market ends up doing- When it hit a low this year, I mortgaged my house and put it in the market. before that, it was paid for].

This is action is non female related but covers some of the other aspects of male life.

• I'm starting a new job next month, pays more money than I've ever made (what recession?)
• I've got a sh*t lot of money in the bank
• Looking to buy a house soon
• Almost completely out of debt apart from my car and college loans
• Looking to buy a classic car I've had my eye on probably 8 years now
• Continuing to tone up in the gym
• Going out with a sweet young thing on Saturday night (will provide field report, sir)

 

[sodbuster]

double post?

 

[Warrior74]

For those who took it serious thanks. For those who still want to theorize and make jokes, this is why your life is where it is. 278 views and only 9 decent post. Those 9 guys are making something happen in their lives. Good for you. Keep up the good work.
