5/10/13 - 5/17/13 Week 38

Alright so my first full week back in Delaware. It hasn't been very eventful...

I go to sleep late, wake up late, and generally don't do much with my day. The one constant is exercise. I want to get into excellent shape this summer, so I've reverted to Starting Strength and on non-lifting days I run 2 miles.

Here are my numbers so far:

Height: 6ft
Weight: 185 lbs.
Bench: 200 lbs.
Squat: 240 lbs.
Press: 125 lbs.
Power Clean: 145 lbs.
Deadlift: 275 lbs.

I'm trying to get my brother into it, but he has to do that on his own account.

I need to find a job but I really want to work at a gym and nothing's promising so far. I need to work this summer but I want a job that I won't absolutely hate. I also need to pursue modeling or acting if I want to give it a real shot.

As for my $800 I think I want to spend nearly $300 on this male enhancement water pump called Penomet I discovered on GoodLookingLoser.com. Of course my parents think it's a stupid and shallow idea, but I want it.

The other $500 I'm on the fence about. There's a company called Vemma, and I can invest $500 in it to start bringing a drink called Verve to my friends and get them to do the same. The problem is I don't really have a warm market here in Delaware, and I have to really travel to meet people my age. I know it's legit because I have friends that are personally making money on it already, but I just don't know yet.

So yeah, not much of an update, but there you go.

 

[NorwegianDJ]

300 on a penis enlarger and 500 on a pyramid scheme? Probably not your wisest decisions.

 

[LearningSlowly]

Don't waste your money. Verve tastes like ****, I've heard of it around my school. And a penis pump is lame.

Buy a fake id if you don't have one yet.

 

[BPH]

@NDJ It's not a pyramid scheme...as I've said before I personally know friends that have made money off of it. And by that I don't mean I met people that made money off of it and became friends with them...but that I had friends that I didn't even know were a part of this and have been making money for a few months.

@LearningSlowly I actually tried the drink, I thought it tasted pretty good, especially considering how healthy it is for you. As for the penis pump, yeah I expected that kind of reaction, and while I certainly have no problems in bed or with my size, I would definitely like to place myself on the "big" end of the spectrum. Especially if it's with a method that's actually been proven to work, rather than air pumps, pills, etc.

 

[NorwegianDJ]

Girls say it's more of a girth thing than length anyway. As for the Verve thing, what you described is a pyramid scheme from my understanding, regardless if you know people that profit from it or not. It doesn't sound profitable either compared to the amount of time needed invested in it. It sounds enticing because it places you in control, but that's it. I'd only think it's a good idea if you had a huge blog or anything else that would help with a referral based system.

 

[LearningSlowly]

What's the point? "I'll spend this $500 so I can make $700!!" and then spend the money on what?

Verve is a textbook pyramid scheme.

The penis pump fits with your values I guess. You work out to get a better body, might as well work out this other part of your body. But unless you want to make porn, it seems like a waste.

 

[BPH]

Vemma is not a pyramid scheme. While I have no yet started with it, it is a legitimate business and I have personal friends who have made money off of it...plenty of money.

5/17/13 - 5/24/13 Week 39

Alright so there isn't too much to update this week so this shouldn't be too long.

This week my parents started getting on my case about not having work or anything to do at home. So I've been looking around for potential places to work, preferably at a gym so I can work out for free. Got an interview in another week or so for this place called Retro Fitness hopefully. Otherwise I can try some call centers.

I discovered this guy on boytoystory.com named Thomas. He's banged over 140 women and is only 20 years old. I'm hoping I can learn a little something from him.

The one constant is still my weightlifting regime. I'm doing pretty well and I can see my bottom 2 abs starting to come in.

Haven't seen any good looking girls yet. I need to visit the mall or find some friends I can go party with on weekends or something. I planned to clean up my room and stuff first but that's still a work in progress.

I ordered my Penomet finally. That should be here in a few more days and after a few months I'll let you know how that goes.

Finally got to drink some alcohol during Memorial Day. That was nice.

Might start updating my journal monthly. Not sure yet...

Anyway I think that's about it. Peace guys.

That's how pyramid schemes start! A few people make good money, talk about it and everyone else gets screwed

This is the last comment I'll make on Vemma. If you think it's a pyramid scheme, do some research. Otherwise continue being ignorant.

 

[LearningSlowly]

I did some research, so I can avoid being ignorant.

Here's a few articles and what I made of them:
http://www.tomhanger.com/2013/02/vemma-pyramid-scheme.html
http://www.thepantheronline.com/opinion/be-wary-of-get-rich-quick-schemes
http://richriley.net/vemma-review-vemma-scam-is-it-true/

That last one is pretty favorable to Vemma. I made an effort to be exposed to both sides.

So the fact is, pyramid schemes are illegal, and this company has a legal business model. The company itself is not likely to be shut down soon. The main distinction between this and a scheme is that this company makes you buy it's product when you become a salesperson. Otherwise they could send you out to refer new salespeople without buying the product. That would be illegal.

But still, the main source of money for salespeople is from recruiting new salespeople. The product itself is hard to sell and there is no real incentive for selling cans of Verve. The real money comes by convincing people to pay for their new job.

BPH, your goal is probably to recruit new affiliates, not sell the product. You make money for every person willing to commit to the company. When you do this, consider that some of those people shelling out $500 will never make their money back. Maybe they didn't work hard enough, maybe they didn't understand the responsibilities of "network marketing" but in that way, when they lose money and you and the company make money, this is a pyramid scheme. But if Im being fair, they didn't really lose their money, they just traded it for cans of a vitamin drink.

If the referral process was not involved, and you were offered a chance to spend $500 on just their product, there is no way you would take that deal.

 

[BPH]

Alright I haven't updated this in a long time because there really hasn't been much to update. But for the sake of staying current, let's go.

5/24/13 - 5/31/13 Week 40

Alright so this week really hasn't been eventful at all. Been working out, still haven't been out to meet any girls. Posting this, then getting into the following weeks.

 

[BPH]

5/31/13 - 6/7/13 Week 41

There still isn't much worth noting here. I did have some gym injuries that I decided were worth giving time to heal.

First, I have some snapping and tenderness in my right knee, likely from squatting along with the running. Second, my shoulder got a bad twinge from benching heavy with bad form. So I planned to stay out of the gym for the next 2 weeks. Instead I swim 20 laps in my pool as fast as I can. 10, 5, 5. Surprisingly exhausting.

I've also changed my diet to match the intermittent fasting plan I found on leangains.com. Basically I eat during an 8 hour period and fast for the other 16.

Other than that, nothing new. Will update again later when my sister gets off.

 

[BPH]

6/7/13 - 6/14/13 Week 42

Alright so this week was a little more eventful but only slightly.

Not sure if I've mentioned this before, but HB Katelynn invited me to her graduation party that will be next Saturday. It may be fun to see her, hopefully she doesn't have the same *****-whipped boyfriend.

I also got my Penomet in the mail sometime this week. As of now I've been using it a little over a week, but I'll only post information on that thing for those interested.

Intermittent fasting has been going well, as well as my lap swimming in the pool.

My brother brought me to this high school party on Tuesday. It wasn't good but at least I got to drink a little. None of the girls were that attractive and they were all young so I didn't pursue anything. It might be worth noting that my brother needs to become more outgoing. At the party he stuck with me and his two other friends that he brought. Needs to be more active. But that's not my problem.

The main thing I want to mention is my job search and my school for next year.

I've gone around and collected applications as well as applied online for several jobs. I believe I applied at 6 places that were hiring, not just places that gave me an application in case somebody quit. Of those places all I have to show for it is an interview to be a delivery boy. I NEED to find a job this summer. It is ridiculously difficult to find work close enough to me that I'll be earning enough just to cover gas cost. I really hope I end up with something.

The more gloomy topic is about my school for next year. I don't think I'll be able to go to UNCW again. I've come to love that place, along with the friends and women I've met there. It's a beautiful place and so close to the beach. I absolutely hate Delaware, but considering the cost of schooling out of state, I might be forced to attend the University of Delaware, or Delaware Tech. Neither of which I want. I know too many people at U of D. Most of them remember me as being a scrawny nerd from middle school, or the kid that got bullied his freshman year of high school. Or in the case of Delaware Tech, the kids that weren't smart enough to be accepted at any other school. I really don't know what's going to happen here, but there's not a very good chance that I'll be happy with it.

Other than that, been watching BoyToyStory stuff and reading his articles. He's like a version of HPRJ that doesn't need alcohol, college, or fraternities to sleep with tons of women.

I was also invited to a Tough Mudder in November by my friend at UNCW. But that's only if I stay in touch with these friends. I really want to go back to school there next year. I've had so many of these friends randomly hit me up to ask how I've been doing. That doesn't happen with my high school friends. But I also don't want to put my family in a lot of debt or keep my siblings from being able to go to college.

I don't know what to do man, maybe take a year off and seriously pursue modeling or acting. But it's not good stuff.

That's all I have for now, peace.

6/14/13 - 6/21/13 Week 43

These reports will probably be quite short and sweet due to the lack of crap to talk about this summer.

This week hasn't been anything special, in terms of girls there are 2 things worth noting. First is that a random girl named HB Betty hit me up on Facebook. She added me and I talked with her a little bit but I don't have her number so that may or may not become something.

The second is that I went to the mall this Saturday and number closed this girl named HB Callie. Texted her later that night and she only replied once. Trying to setup a time to hang out turned into a one-sided conversation.

Otherwise I don't think anything special happened this week.

 

[BPH]

6/21/13 - 6/28/13 Week 44

Alright so this week was slightly more eventful, but not by much. Gonna have some thoughts at the end.

In terms of girls there are once again, 2 things worth noting. One is that another random hot girl named HB Diana hit me up on Facebook. This girl gave me her number and I texted her a little and invited her to hang over first one night, then the other. She would text up until that point and then go silent, so that didn't turn into anything.

The second is that I went to the mall again this weekend and number closed a girl named HB Courtney. Weird thing was that this girl was somebody I knew my freshman year at my first high school. The conversation went really well and I got her number and felt good about it. The next day she didn't text or call back or anything, so that was another fail. Seriously, why is my sex life getting shafted right now?

I remember I had a day this week where every little thing in my life kinda went bad. I ranted about this to Lefty on Xbox but I can't remember everything I whined about.

My knee is a little messed up from squats, posted about that in the Health section, need to get that healed.

Still jobless and all that good stuff.

Guy hit me up on Facebook to try to sell me on Vemma. Kind of offended that the first time he talks to me he wants something from me. Meant to go to this meeting but couldn't make it.

The thoughts I mentioned earlier was that I'm seriously considering taking a year off of school. I have so many good friends at UNCW that I would really hate having to stay in Delaware and attend school with people that likely remember me from my nerdy middle school and early high school days.

I was thinking that I would find a job and keep it through the fall while pursuing modeling. I'm not sure if this is the best course of action, but the alternatives are putting my family in potential debt or attending a school with the same people I want to leave behind in the state I want to leave behind.

So that's that.

 

[BPH]

I've been having one hell of a rough summer, I thought I missed 2 weeks instead of 3 so I'm just going to try to quickly update this and be on my way...

6/28/13 - 7/5/13 Week 45

I really don't remember much from this week, so I'll just say it was uneventful. I remember going for an interview at my local Abercrombie & Fitch store, but that was about it.

 

[BPH]

7/5/13 - 7/12/13 Week 46

Also don't remember much from this week. I talked to a girl on Facebook, HB Caroline from 2 years back I think. She's recently single so I tried to set up a time to hang out when I get back from my beach vacation next week.

Otherwise nothing, gotta wait 2 weeks to hear back from the A&F people.

 

[BPH]

7/12/13 - 7/19/13 Week 47

Alright, now while this isn't the current week, I will be detailing some of my woes at the end of this post. Will probably make a thread about it somewhere else too.

Anyway, this week I was at the beach, and while I had a lot of fun, I have never approached so many women and number closed without any result by the end of the week. Let's talk about some of this...

1. I met a girl named HB Gizem my first day, got her number, and she wanted to hang out sorta late at like 9:30. By the time I get there she scolds me for being late, I let it pass and walk and talk with her. I ask if she wants to walk the beach, no, ask if she wants to come back to my place and see a movie, no. I get tired of this girl, so I ask if she wants to makeout, no. I ask why she wanted to see me so bad (double and triple texting) if she didn't want to do anything, she walks away.

2. I met a girl HB Tina, and her sister while on the boardwalk with my cousins and their friend one night. We went back to the cousin's pool and had some drinks. At the end of the night I try to kiss HB Tina and she turns away. I get her number and try to hang out the next day, find her later on the boardwalk with the next night with her sister and some other guys.

3. Met HB Karolyn, it took a few days to hang out with her but I meet up with her late one night and she brings me to her place while she and her friends smoke a hookah. I try to kiss her and she tells me she's the type that likes relationships and doesn't like random hookups. On my way back I try to kiss her again, she refuses again, and I waste about 2 hours hanging with this girl.
She texts me another night but I tell her that I want to make out, she wants to smoke hookah, so it's a waste of both our times.

4. HB Logan and her friends want to hang out after getting back from an under 21 club. My cousin and I wait, the girls are late, they get themselves some ice cream, then say they can't hang out because they need to go back to their rooms and go to sleep. Later I see them hanging out with some other guys (way past curfew).

5. This one was the most painful. I met a girl HB Brittaney, approach went real well, gave her my number while on the beach, and she called me. Problem was, my phone didn't get the damn call. I thought she just didn't call or text like some others have. I find her on the boardwalk on my last night and say hi, she asks me why I never went to hang out with her, when I ask what she meant she showed me that she called my phone, correct number and everything. She couldn't hang out because her friend was being a block and had to go take care of some kid. So yeah, my phone didn't receive a call...**** this piece of ****.

There were several others that couldn't hang out, didn't text or call, etc. This was the first year at the beach that I didn't get any action whatsoever. I've gone this entire summer without kissing a girl, let alone having sex with one.

And to top it off, HB Caroline and HB Esther can't hang out when I get home. A lovely week indeed.

Know what, I think I'm just gonna post my problem thread and refer people to it if they think they can lend a hand next week. See ya guys.

Jesus you suckkk :crackup:. Why don't you open your mouth real wide for daddy like this :yawn:

 

[BPH]

7/19/2013 - 7/26/13 Week 48

Not much went on this week. I don't really feel like typing up my feelings and experiences on here much anymore. I might leave this forum and go on to GoodLookingLoser.com or something. I feel I've learned the most I can from this site and the people on it. Nowadays I see the high school thread filled with hopeless AFCs that won't try any of the advice given to them...like rsofa...

Anyway the only constant this summer has been lifting. I've reached some pretty impressive numbers for my work sets.

Bench: 220
Squat: 190 (due to rehabbing my knee from pain at higher weights)
Press: 145
Power Clean: 185
Deadlift: 335

Not too shabby, I'm sitting at 180lbs.

The only other thing worth mentioning was that HB Katelynn called me up one night to hang out because she was upset and wanted to hang out. About 10 minutes later she tells me not to come because her girl friend came over and they both need each other equally.

Otherwise I have a thread in the Anything Else section called "I don't know what to do". Give that a read and leave me your thoughts. I don't feel like spouting off about that.

Otherwise peace.
