Seems like a stupid idea/flawed logic to willingly go do something that a) you know you won't enjoy b) you have no obligation to attend

Uhh... Don't go? >_>

Here's a more in-depth explanation of "greasing the groove" training that I've been doing recently without a gym membership: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oIB-V4m26GwYkbyw_tSKsQlbxs3uy60IrcRSteJBcqA/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1#

Forgot to mention... Either way, Noxx, hopefully these recent experiences have given you a taste of what I'm advocating, and why. It's not something that everybody can understand until they experience it themselves. Even sending out 100 messages on the dating sites and having 15 hot girls talking to you at once, without leading to anything, is enough to trigger the "state" :P

Well it would make sense if Akrisae is significantly harder than the others since he's unlocked after a grandmaster quest.

Well I think it's too late for you to effectively go poly on these girls anyway. You can't get "caught" if you're not actually cheating... meaning you're not leading her on. But I think you've been implying a desire for monogamy this whole time. No girl is going to straight up tell you that they don't mind going poly. They all say, "I could never do that!" But the truth is, most of them actually will if they like you enough.

I haven't been reading Noxx's posts lol. I'm sure he knows what I'd say anyway, just like you do :P

That can be arranged :)

How about me wearing a viking helm in a brothel? >_>

So far about a dozen girls have replied back to me. Currently trying to set up dates with them. This means there's still about 80 girls who either haven't seen my message, or have seen it and chose not to reply. [bleep]in' skanks...

Just sent out 50 openers on OKCupid. Now to send 50 more on Plenty of Fish... Man, this is legitimately exhausting. Pimpin' ain't easy... EDIT: (1 hour later) If I see one more profile with "Live, Laugh, and Love" or "I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure..." I'm going to lose my mind.

At least you understand that you're not doing what you should be doing because you don't want to do it.

Ya I tried doing those, but I have dainty wrists so my "pulling" hand gets sore pretty quickly from being squeezed, and having the hair on my forearm getting pulled lol I've just been doing random exercises depending on my mood. Sometimes I'll wrap a towel around the bar and hold on to that with my free hand, grabbing it lower as I get stronger. Other times I'll try and do a normal pullup, but with my "supporting" arm, I'll slowly remove one finger from the bar and try to lower myself down with one finger helping me, or no fingers at all, depending on how exhausted I am. But the weighted normal pull-ups seem to be helping the most right now. BTW... Anyone ever heard of "greasing the groove?" Basically you do your workout for like 10-15 minutes, several times a day, every day; as opposed to 60-90 mins once per week. Been doing that and it seems to be better than the old "traditional" method. When I'd train back/biceps 1-2 a week in the past, my elbow joints would be killing me by the end of the workout. But nowadays since I'm only working out for like 10-15 minutes at a time, my elbows haven't really been bothering me. Now I've just gotta hope I don't get arthritis down the road >_>

I think people in RS just want what they don't have. And once they get it, they aren't satisfied, they want more. This is because RS is based mostly on grinding. When you get rid of the grind, you're left with a pretty unimpressive game regardless. Hence why the beta bores me, even though I can do anything in it. I don't care at all about achievement in RS.

Holy shit-- just pulled myself up half way with one arm! GETTING CLOSE!!! Might've helped that I was taking performance-enhancing substances when I did it. And by "performance-enhancing substances," I mean that I was listening to this in the background >_>

Well I think people are breaking the rules because there is much to gain in RL by doing so, and I'm sure people would do this regardless of the "era" in RS. (ex. Duke Freedom, Cursed You, etc.) As far as breaking rules for instant gratification within RS goes, without anything to gain in RL, there's probably an inverse correlation between how much they enjoy the game and how likely they are to break the rules. I remember the reason why I bug abused (and got banned) was because the bug was 16M/hr. Staking aside, rc'ing nats was the most profitable at about 300k/hr, after 85 slayer and 91 rc (which I didn't have). All I wanted to do on RS was ice barrage at castle wars, but that cost 2.5k per spell. So in other words, I broke the rules because playing legitimately was no longer worth the grind.

He changed a variable that should be addressed. The meathead profile was looking for a quick fling but the successful profile wanted a long term thing. Perhaps most users aren't looking for something long term? Well two big "theories" regarding online dating are: 1. Your profile pic determines 80% of your "success"; having a pic of me showing off my abs would be better than me wearing a dress shirt. But it would appeal to different types of girls. 2. A lot of women are only looking for sex. But it's tabboo to put that on their profiles. When they see the aforementioned meathead come along, they think it's "safer" (socially) to hook up with him because he's stupid, as opposed to a guy with a polished, professional profile. If they're only looking for sex, then a guy's success is mostly irrelevent too, assuming they probably just want a one night stand.

My friends know. You don't provide your real name-- just a username. So I made up a very generic one with some random numbers. Though, I've thought about making an alter-ego meathead profile after reading this for shits and giggles

Tweaked my online dating profile a bit cuz I wasn't very proud of it. Only ~2 girls viewed my profile per week since I created it. I updated my profile pic first before I started updating my profile "essays." Over the next 15 minutes, 5 (attractive) girls viewed my profile while I was updating the essays :blink: Guess your profile pic really is 80% of your profile :shock: edit: 2 more views while posting this-- off to a good start! \:D/

Gallon containers is a great idea, thanks. I'll probably just tie them around my ankles or something

I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they posted that after it was patched.

You basically confirm her suspicions, which you've hopefully been implying all along, and then try to be as understanding and caring as possible. I think the "success" rate depends mostly on your personality and actions.

Been working out at home w/o a gym membership for the past couple of weeks. I chose to postpone my goal of benching double my bodyweight since all my lifting buddies went home for the summer, and I hate having strangers spot me because they always help me lift the bar off my chest when I don't need them to :wall: Anyways... In the mean time, I bought a pull-up bar and have been trying to do a . I got a 40lb weighted vest for my birthday a couple of years ago, so I've been wearing that while doing pull-ups to build up strength. Progress is slow, but steady. I can do about 6 pull-ups with the vest on... but you'll need to be able to do a pull-up with at least 70% extra bodyweight before attempting the OAP. In my case, I need an extra 85 lbs :? Unfortunately I don't have any extra weights or a lifting belt or anything, so I've stuffed all my old college textbooks into my backpack and worn that on top of the vest >_> I look pretty ridiculous. Did a pull-up with 55 extra lbs, then tried 70 lbs but could only make it up half way. Any ideas on heavy objects lying around the house that I could put in the backpack for extra weight? lol. I'll probably end up having to buy some low-weight dumbbells eventually :( Just hope my backpack doesn't fall apart in the mean time...

Yes, many people mistakenly believe that attributing your stupid behavior to the effects of alcohol is a valid excuse.

Is she hot? Lol, this was the first thought that popped into my mind when I read that too. Granted, my friend and I have an on-going joke where if anybody refers to a girl in any sort of story, we immediately cut them off and ask how hot the girl was... even if they're talking about taking their grandma and her friends out to lunch >_>
