Eh, i'll throw down one last aspect of understanding self improvement before resting, mainly as it's prescient for myself after the gym visit tonight. Do not expect instant results. Assuming one has found his inner fire, his will has been strengthed and has finally chosen to improve, the first few weeks can be a true test of this new mindset. Once a program of fitness has been chosen, whichever one it may be (there are a myriad of approaches available) you will find it to be an uphill battle. I'll share a personal anecdote on this one. When my training began after realising what is required of me I threw myself into it the first week. I watched countless videos, read innumerable blogs, discerned what methods fit with my approach and went into it with a glad heart. It was a slog. Your body, the first couple of weeks, is incredibly tired, you ache constantly. You'll wonder why results are taking so long and the first test of resolve is issued; to stick by or surrender. If you surrender then you lack value, to yourself and to those who rely on you, you demean and shame yourself in this action but may try justify it with nihilism or pithy jokes. Initially, I did just that, it didn't seem worth it, I fell into a blackpill stupor that took some effort to get out of. But if you persist, if you refuse to lay down and die you will find results coming bit by bit. That protruding gut no longer appears a piece of sagging flesh but toned muscle. Your shoulders and arms grow, once shirts tight around the gut slacken and your arms now stretch them to a welcoming degree. You'll feel better mentally as well, gaining pride in what your achieving but that achievement will take some time.
It won't be instant, not by a long shot. It'll take sweat. It'll take pain. It'll take dedication. But once your in the rythm, once your body is becoming more receptive it grows easier and easier. Upon getting over the hump you'll find results arriving incrementially over time with each one providing a new push towards the herculean goal of achieving your form. One must remember though, this is but a part of what must be done. A perfect body is lacking if it is not tempered by the sharpened mind in the same way a great mind lacks force if the body is weak and flabby. Achieving unison in both is the goal of the Overman. Most will never achieve it, it is a life long goal but it is the pursuit of it that makes it such a noble ideal. True perfection in that regard may not be achievable but that is what makes the challenge one worthy of any son of Europe, be him in the States, a far flung former colony or within the home continent. The strength you'll gain and in turn share with others by inspiring and teaching as a result of this road is something to behold. It may just be the thing that saves us. Remember always, weak men create hard times. Hard times create strong men.
smoking cigs is actually pretty harmful
cigars is less so because you're not supposed to inhale the smoke
the redpill is that tobacco itself is actually a very useful stimulant and that nicotine is an extremely powerful nootropic if you know how to use it. Cigs happen to be a shit-tier vehicle, though.
I use nicotine lozenges to reinforce habits such as weightlifting and studying, as well as to improve my performance in high risk activities like piloting aircraft. I also use swedish snus to relax in the evenings.
If you're interested in lots of research on this subject you can find it here

in brief:
reaction time is improved, as is inspection time and visual search
pilots’ performance enhanced 4/5 as much as donepezil does; improves late-day piloting
driving performance enhanced
overnight performance on various memory & attention tasks (“These data suggest that when performance is being measured overnight, smokers show little or no impairment, whilst the performance of non-smokers showed performance decrements.”)
become dependent on a drug to do something you should be able to do through will alone
I understand your intentions, but, if you've never used it. Then there's no reason to start using it now.
I hope everyone follows >>13032664 example and doesn't even consider it. I hope everyone can learn to be as willful as you, anon.
Recently quit cigarettes. Started when I was 13. Easily the most retarded this g I have ever done, even compared to drug usage. Drugs were extremely easy to quit compared to cigs. However I do miss the more tasteful forms of tobacco like pipes and nasal snuff. Still would never recommend people even try nicotine containing substances.
So now we understand the fundamental idea behind real self improvement we move onto expanding upon the topic; the reason to fight. Not merely fight in a physical aspect but in what one could potentially term a "spiritual" way. Allow me to explain.
A man can steel his body, sculpt a perfect example of the European man's true form through hard work indeed. But there needs to be a deeper purpose to it. Merely identifying a deeper purpose is just the first step, it must become an entrenched bulwark for the mind to detect and defend against potential corruption influences (nihilism, ego death etc). Let us begin.
So, let us state an obvious goal we all share; the protection and propagation of the European peoples and their long term survival in a world of chaos and deeply embedded corruption. Now this sounds a rather grand and sometimes almost impossible feat but the truth is it is much simpler than it first appears. The initial routes to dedication must come from personal aspects and expand from that, the roots must be bedded deep as it were. Therefore a wise decision is to attempt to begin with family or a loved one. As a European man, your role, first and foremost, is the protection of those you hold dear. Blood. Ethnic nation. Race. For some expanding this to your entire racial group is fairly easy, for others it can be challenging, hence this approach.
So, how can one protect those he loves? Each person decides different priorities when it comes to this but for the most part in my experience the overarching concepts are;
Physical mastery. To become strong enough to protect them in case of attack. It does not need to simply be an immediate threat but a long term threat such as encroaching (((diversity))) or some such. Use that initial fear as a drive. Realise this is a fear to be conquered and overwhelmed by your dedication to physical improvement and sheer will. Once you have begun to improve and grow stronger you will find this fear replaced with instinctive awareness and the fight reflex in place more firmly than before. This is just part of mastering your physical world though for you must also remember the world you live in; food may be plentiful but the items of plentitude are rather vile and poor for you. A man can buy a Big Mac for a couple of pound but if he wishes to buy real meat without hormone treatment or factory farmed you'll be paying a fair bit more. As the old adage goes, you are what you eat so if you wish to master your physical aspects you must first understand the fuel you are taking in. I will expand further on this point at a later date however.
A drive to provide stability. Any man of noble spirit and heart wishes to ensure his family and his people deserve a place to rest easy. We are often deprived of this by the hate fuelled semetic parasites who force the outsider upon us in an effort to drive us to the brink. We are forced to live among Negroes, Arabs and assorted other unwelcome offshoots of humanity resulting in a devastation of the European spirit for it is forced to live in a state of constant threat and unending aggression commited against ourselves. Thusly we must forge new homestead and bastions far from the maddening crowd and in order to do that we must provide both financial capabilities and emotional succor in the interim. As a man this is vital and must become a key aspect to any improvements you make, be it for personal or familial reasons. A man can begin the path to /sig/ but if he is trapped within the belly of the beast he can only go so far in such a vile environment. You must become the unmoving mountain of both physical and emotion aspects.
Sacrificing the easy. The word sacrifice means to make something sacred. A simple concept is it not. So therefore, despite the association with sacrifice being bad as "muh aztecs human sacrifice", removing poisons of both the physical and mental (e.g. mass media) variety to follow the road of improvement means to literally embrace a path of greatness. You are bombarded at every oppurtunity by semetic poisons, be them poor food quality (soy used in bread production, chemical use for preservatives etc) to (((media))) in the form of movies and music. "Hey goy, listen to this hot new beat consisting of three notes and a nigger screeching ass into a mic for five minutes, isn't it great?))) is an every day thing which no one outside those waking up to the state of things notices. The worst is subtle corruptions, such as placing Negroes in historical European fiction, making the American Civil War all about slavery, how noble ideals of virtue and honour are "dated" but wanting white women to fuck anything but whites or embrace ackbars is great. Seperating yourself from these poisons allows greater clarity, your no longer lethargic due to poor food and no longer mentally subdued due to (((media))) bombardment.
The first thing for any man seeking to improve is to understand the disctinction between motivation and dedication as hinted in the original image. It is the very core of your development. The best analogy I came up with is to imagine a forest and within the said forest imagine a great tree. This regal creation full of verdant leaves and ever expanding branches of noble oak expands and grows forever onwards and can weather come what may. The only way to destroy the oak, much like a man whose heart is filled with fire and dedication, is to fell it completely, to tear it assunder. Much like man, it can weather storms, bear deep scars and face almost anything thrown at it. Only the most cataclysmic event can fell the tree or the spirit of a steeled man.
Motivation, by comparison, is the leaves of this grand oak. They come and go, felled by everything from a breeze to being displaced foraging creature. Much like a leaf, motivation is fleeting in it's nature, a fluid thing that changes form at the smallest whim. This is the defining difference between the two mindsets and must be understood before one is to start upon the road of achieving greatness. Once a man has taken this realisation, he can begin the path to mastering his own fate, free of semetic and degenerate influences. He no longer will require strength from outside sources but can find his own, whether from the drive to protect his family or to becoming a man willing to stand for his people.

I need help getting a girlfriend ASAP. Even if it's only a fling or a fuckbuddy, I NEED SOMETHING. I'm starting to lose my mind, I've been lonely and isolated for far too long, I need human warmth and intimacy, I need some touch and TLC. Please fucking help me, I need something that works, I will do what I can to change but I need some assurance that there will be some kind of payout to collect. I'm tired of going on wild goose chases for girls that aren't interested, I'm tired of trying to no avail, I'm tired of becoming despondent and wasting away in my room, please frens I beg of you, HELP ME.

Once you have a fuckbuddy you’ll recognize it’s futility. Sex without passion and the spiritual bond of love is so lifeless it makes me ill thinking about it.
Form the bond. It’s worth the wait.
[–] 18046675? ago
This only really applies once you've experienced constant sex, though.
[–] 17684721? ago
you're desperate and every girl will know it
read the thread and better yourself
[–] 17684720? ago
Stop begging firstly, it's demeaning and does you no favours. Explain why exactly your so alone first, in honest terms.
As an aside, if you act this desperately around women you will automatically repulse them, women seek a combination of kindness, leadership and strength in a man. Get a grip and lay out your situation.

I guess I'll start from early on, in elementary school ~20% of the entire school was white, the rest was mostly asian, latino, black, etc. So I had very little opportunity to naturally socialize in a healthy and meaningful way early on, which of course stunted my social no, I did not want to socialize with the "other" kids, I was openly doing roman salutes at this age without fully understanding what it "meant" . This later on transferred to middle and high school as the demographics were relatively consistent, and so I kept going through life never having advanced beyond a second graders level of social skills. It probably didn't help that I moved schools several time and was an aspie. Even while growing up, In hindsight, I had several opportunities to socialize and make friends/girlfriends, but I was totally unaware in almost all of them, I had a "girlfriend" once but that failed miserably shortly after. I've held a few job since leaving school but none of them ever stick for very long, and in public whenever I even SEE a girl that is attractive, I get hot and flustered, and so most times I'm rushing around with my eyes straight forward to avoid eye contact with anyone.
I've been like this for as long as I can remember, I feel so drained. And I having a sneaking suspicion that (((someone))) may have purposefully intended for me to be socially stunted, but I can't be sure. I've just been so isolated for so long, I feel like I've evolved into a different species, as if I sing a different song from all the other birds, as if my feather can't fly with theirs. I just want some kind of acceptance. In all honesty if this all keeps up I may find myself dead within a few short years, which I would rather not do.
