I'm talking full-on lifemaxxing. And I don't mean that TRP bullshit where you have to be PERFECT and godlike...just gotta be passable.

- diet: eat healthy and shit so you aren't fat and greasy and have nice enough skin
- exercise: you don't need be a tanked Rambo but can need passable tone in your muscles
- being interesting: having hobbies that aren't Anime and waifus and fapping
- fashionmaxxing: don't need to be Gucci, but dress fine
- career: having a decent job. You don't need to be a CEO, but don't be a fucking NEET either.

Stuff like that? Any incels tried this? I haven't...but I'm going to try it out and see how shit goes.
 
Many, including me. Won't do shit if you're sub 5.
 
NO ATTRACTIVE FACE

NO CASE
 
Im a student so I'm still working on my career.
As for the rest I've tried everything and I'm actually gonna start gymceling this week.
Won't make a difference though
 
Yes.

But it's hard to keep that up in the long-run if you don't have a proper motivation to keep it up.

Like, you might manage to live like this for a couple of months ... but you don't get a reward for living like this. As an incel, your reward is being a sloth on the internet. This is where you can relax, recharge batteries, feel good ... just at the computer, maybe with a pizza or something. It's not like you have a healthy relationship and family and time with them rewards you for your sacrifice. It's all just sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice for ... no reward whatsoever. Or at least so it felt to me.
 
I tried fashionmaxxing, but the only reaction that I got was from two girls that have saw me from behind and when I turned one of them said "what a difference Teehee", it doesn't matter if you dress fine it always be about your face.
 
gymcelling is legit but its effects are vastly overestimated by gymcels.

everything else doesnt make you more sexually attractive, it only makes you more attractive as a provider. so if your goal is betabuxxing then go ahead with it.
 
Im monkcelling to the max. It lowered my bloodpressure and made me a calmer person overal.
 
I am 6'1'' with almost no muscle, so my ideal weight is around 160. I've spent my adult life between 165 and 196, mostly around 180.

I don't think women treat me better when I'm thinner, but I don't feel as uncomfortable in public, my clothes fit better, I think I feel a bit better physically too.
 
I did gymcel for most of my life. It is how I stopped bullies, but that didn't fixed my recessed chin and girls still view me as unattractive beta.
 
"diet: eat healthy and shit so you aren't fat and greasy and have nice enough skin"
I'm 5'9" 130lbs, you tell me if i'm at a good weight homie.

"exercise: you don't need be a tanked Rambo but can need passable tone in your muscles"
gymcelled for awhile, stopped, but my body still looks good in muscle definition.

"having hobbies that aren't Anime and waifus and fapping"
I box, does that count?

"fashionmaxxing: don't need to be Gucci, but dress fine"
I think I dress well enough. Not Gucci, but like, I don't look like a bum.

"career: having a decent job. You don't need to be a CEO, but don't be a fucking NEET either."
I'm a NEET right now, was minimum wage worker at a grocery store before a couple of weeks though.

Nothing works. Also career is an irrelevant blue pill measurement, no one should be fooled into careermaxing. We already have a term for that, it's called betabuxing.
All in all VERY blue pill thread @rotting-alone. None of these things matter if you don't have the right face or race.

I've tried meditation multiple times but I don't seem to be doing it right.
 
Yes. I'm no longer overweight, I've gotten better grades, I have better dental hygiene/hygiene in general, I've gotten my driver's license, I've actually talked in person to foods, and I've gotten jobs. And I'm still a kissless virgin. None of it mattered in the end
 
I've been doing it for a while. Better diet and losing weight, I keep myself and my room cleaner, I take my dog on longer walks, I work harder at my job and have been promoted/gotten raises, try to be positive and outgoing, etc.

Surprise! Nothing helped decrease my incelism. :lul:

1. Yes I lost 70 lbs
2. I exercise everyday
3. I started playing musical instruments and writing music
4. Bought new clothes that fit well
5. ...I'm still a neet.

Made a stupid thread like this asking a stupid question and I'll ban you.
You're threatening to ban rotting-alone for creating this thread? Am I missing something?

This thread really isn't as bad as a lot of the others I see around here.

He wasn't advocating this stuff, or saying 'if you do this you'll get a girlfriend and if you haven't then you don't deserve one.'

I think most of us have worked on ourselves a lot, to no effect.
 
Can’t do much about being 5’11” or ugly blue demon eyes. Changing clothes won’t help me.

Diet - I went on a low carb diet, stopped eating fast food, completely gave up soda for two whole years, lost over 50lbs, from a BMI of 26 to a BMI of 20

Exercise - I lift weights 5 days a week and play 5 on 5 basketball 1 day a week

Being interesting - Practice piano every day

Fashionmaxxing - I admit I don't wear gay ass tight fitting shirts because I am not a numale faggot

Career - I have a masters degree in electrical engineering and I work as an engineer in a government laboratory

I am a 25yo kissless virgin who has never been on a date before.
 
In the middle of it. It will be complete after I get facial surgeries and possibly LL
 
I've been lifting vigorously for 6 years and most people my age look bigger untrained.
 
- diet: Cut down meat and junk food. More veggies. Less calorie intake. Trying to lose weight.

- exercise: knuckle Pushups, situps, planking, shadowboxing, squats... and I work a physical job with a lot of heavy lifting so takes care of many muscle groups.

- being interesting: I have wide range of interests. Conspiracy, religion, philosophy, politics, economics (stock market, investing, etc...), martial arts, military equipment guns knives etc... cars, computers, handyman stuff... cooking... medical and health stuff... science... I have high IQ. I test between 130-140 depending on the test.

- fashionmaxxing: I don't care. I go out in t shirt and ripped pants from my job handling sheet metal all day long. I shave my head too cuz it makes me look tougher. Military or excon kinda look I think looks cool.

- career: I work at a warehouse. Forklift driver and machine operator. Make a decent salary. Can theoretically support a wife and a couple kids.
 
Make a stupid thread like this asking a stupid question and I'll ban you.

Just read this - seems like a stupid reaction tbh but I'm not gonna argue with mods. I think the 50% warning you gave was clear enough.

As others have said, this isn't some RedPill bullshit saying "just improve your life, bro!". I was simply looking to explore ppl who tried it and what the results were.
Career - I have a masters degree in electrical engineering and I work as an engineer in a government laboratory

How tf did you do all that by 25. You careermog the shit out of me.
 
I'm all for banning threads like this.

I am so fucking tired of people acting like I've never tried this shit, along with 99% of incels.
 
- diet: I eat clean and got a 6 pack and o jacked and lean.
- exercise: I got to the gym regularly 5 times a week. 5’9 173 lbs
- being interesting: I play volleyball in local leagues
- fashionmaxxing: yea I wear fitted shirts and t-shirts. My work requires me to wear business casual clothes to work. On night out with friends I wear nice clothes.
- career: yea I work as a developer in a big company and make more than most Americans. Got my own place too


Conclusion: I am still an incel. Meanwhile chad who lives with his parents and sells weed still gets more action then me.

I'm not too strict about my diet, but I'm not very unhealthy either and I gymcel regularly. Getting hobbies to try to impress normies is pathetic, and females don't care about what Chad wears. I'm a university student so I am trying to achieve decent career.
 
I thought that was the first thing you should try before considering yourself a incel.

There are too many mentalcels here.

Nice. How old are you?
 
-Exercise: I currently have a rotator cuff tear from gymming hardcore in the past. It'll never "heal" properly without surgery. I can live with it, just can't gymcel or lift heavy at work. It clicks all the time which is uncomfortable.

-Being interested: I went to meetup dot com groups. Was awkward as hell and not a good way to meet people. Trying to meet friends as an adult is unnatural.

-PUA: took 2 bootcamps 1. From absolute ability and one from Wayne dating. Did 7+k approaches

-career: working in a grocery store

Conclusion. Broke, sick and unhealthy. Would have been better not trying in the first place
 
none of the above has even crossed the mind of an an attractive person, if you're contemplating ways you can improve yourself it's already over. if you're not good enough you will never be good enough, give up. buy a gun or a rope & quit delaying whats inevitable
 
Yes.

But it's hard to keep that up in the long-run if you don't have a proper motivation to keep it up.

Fucking this.
 
I have done all those except careermaxing, and also all those esoteric self-improvements such as nofap and cold showers. Tbh I think self improvement is one of my biggest hobbies and I do it even though I know my chances of romance are slim.
 
I couldn't keep it up TBH. Something makes self improvement very difficult for me
 
Diet: I eat like a fucking dumpster but somehow I have an hourglass figure
Exercise: walk my dog 2 or 3 times a day + the odd weightlifting at home. Nothing special but I'm in reasonably good shape
Being interesting: Arts, Animals, Technology enthusiast. Can handle some other subjects ok as well
Fashionmaxxing: Being poor in Eastern Europe is a death sentence. Half the time I look like a bum.
Career: While I'm a student I receive my survivor's pensions. After that I may very well be fucked, since I finish my studies in a year (And finding work as an actor in a small town is hopeless)

Last year I went from slightly chubby to borderline Chad (physically)....it didn't help one bit, as I don't have a job and am still a total autist when it comes to conversation (SUPER SHY & AKWARD). To add insult to injury, late last year my first dog (A French shepherd) died and even now I have yet to find a suitable replacement (bought and holding on to a Boxer right now but won't give up until I find another French Shepherd, niggas are ridiculously rare). Even better, the new PC I built after Black Friday is a crashing machine (Ryzen straight up hates Windows 7). I lost every ounce of self-confidence after that and have gone back to SUPER INTROVERT mode as a result.

TL;DR Self-improvement isn't a magic bullet. Luck still plays a massive part.
 
I am dieting and gymcelling everyday.
I do have nice hobbies including dancing, I am studycelling all day to get a degree in CS this summer.
My skin is awful, I cannot repair it unless spending a huge amount of money for plastic surgery

Absolutely I have!
•I run 40 miles per week
•I have a BA degree
•I work a job/career where I have a lot of face to face interactions with people
•I play guitar (not something I tell anyone)
•I eat right (No artificial sweeteners,etc)

Makes absolutely ZERO difference-women want absolutely nothing to do with me.

You say that, but you’re a fat cunt. If you tried you’d have been low body fat by now with contact lenses instead of glasses or got a tan and shit aswell
 
Yes but I gave up. It's too much work waking up early in the morning to destroy my body at the gym to then have to grind at work and study all day for what, maybe one point of improvement?

I just LDAR while I wait for my time to rope (soon).

I'm 37. My window closed a long time ago, when I was thin and athletic. Contacts aren't even an option with my fucked up eyes.

There's some people that just don't have what is necessary to be valuable in society.
 
I'm 5'3:
I tried gymcell a while a go. I lost tons of fat and I got a semi decent body. Foids only said: you start looking good, but I heard one said 'hope he doesn't bulk too much or he would look ridiculous, if he'd only be taller he would be passable'
I am college educated, a very respected profession, very good job. Foids seems not to care, they focus in my coworkers, they even ask if I can introduce them :feelsree:
So I don't think anyworks. In other hand, I have 0 sense of fashion and I've been told I dress like a grandpa
 
Yeah.

I lost a bunch of weight by jogging and counting calories. I'm learning guitar. I read a lot and listen to a variety of music. I make sure to dress nicely (hard to go wrong with button up shirts).

A kind female co-worker of mine helped me out. She taught me how to use a little bit of makeup to hide my dark circles and acne. She also took really nice pictures of me for my dating profiles.

I plan on getting veneers to fix my fucked up teeth, still saving up for them.

After veneers, I might save up for hair implants, because my balding is severe. My co-worker thinks I should just shave my head, but I'm not convinced that would look better than it does now.
