| Why is it easier to be single? • Your living-space is your own: • Your money is your own: • Your property is your own • Your secrets remain secret • Your time is your own This presupposes that being in a relationship entails all of these things. You can be in a relationship to someone without marry... |

I'm vegetarian. I avoid foods with lots of added sugar (especially sugary beverages).
But other than that, I'm open to lots of different foods. |

| Don't just go by names of food. Use numbers. Track calories. Properly measure out portion sizes of food. Track protein, carbs, fat. Also, view food in context of the whole diet. Rather than judging just whether X food is intrinsically healthy or unhealthy. Look at everything you've eaten in the past... |

Diet is a factor too. How many grams of protein is he getting in per day? Also, bodyfat percentage; your muscle w... |

| 1) Organize a list of points about how you've improved, and what you're doing to improve. 2) Make sure your work performance the past few weeks has been very solid. As they may use mistakes or nitpick as an argument on why they don't want to increase your pay. If possible, ask your management or cow... |

No, it's because you have an extremely toxic mindset. And you're reading redpill type stuff online instead of having a healthy social life. Case closed. |

| Also, it years of strength training to get to the male physique we see in social media, movies, etc. Many guys have the expectation that if they work hard for a year, they'll reach a muscular physique, when in reality, it may take 5-7 years. |

| Improving career and increasing income is also better for investing. A person making 80k a year investing 1/3 of their income in an index fund will make more money than most people making 40k year and putting 1/3 of their income into stocks, crypto, etc. The time it takes to micromanage stocks, cryp... |

| Is it normal to have to workout two hours a day to stay in shape and keep some muscle on though? Regarding fat loss, No. You don't have to workout that much as long as you have a caloric deficit. Regarding muscle building, many people can stay in shape with only 1 hour of strength training. But it'... |

| Put it this way - there's a reason endurance athletes are very skinny. It is almost impossible for them to gain any weight/fat because they are burning so many calories, even though they eat a shed load of calories. This is true. But it years of training to get to that point. And for the average pe... |

| You don't need weight watchers or any specific program. You don't need to spend any money on any program. Choosing to eat less doesn't cost any money. You can use an app or a notebook to track calories yourself. Calories in, calories out is not a myth. It works. Any type of eating plan will work as ... |

| What are your goals? To build muscle, you need to lift weight and have enough protein (grams of protein per day = 0.8 * your goal body weight). However, to lose weight, exercising a lot everyday isn't necessarily a hard requirement. You can do that through a caloric deficit too. Track your calories.... |

| You're comparing yourself to celebrities. Many of them spend a lot of time and money on appearance. They get expensive haircuts, makeup and are dressed by designers. A lot of their pictures are done by professional photographers, are carefully selected and edited in photoshop/lightroom. |

You should be terrified of them. Go for a community college or a public university - not private. See what you can do to get scholarships.
Also, college isn't the only route. You can go for a trade or a certification in something. |

This is illegal. But at the same time, if you bring it up to your employer, they could reprimand you, fire you or cut your hours.
Update your resume. Look for other jobs. This is an employees market right now. A lot of companies are understaffed and want to just hire someone right away. |
