ive never seen this in real life. I see guys who are massive in the gym and bodybuild, but they work at like loews in the appliance aisle. Shit even Ronnie Coleman was a cop. And I've seen guys who have boats and audi R4s and Bentleys, but they are all hustlers who dont have the time to get shredded. I've seen guidos who spend their entire life savings on juice and trips to cabo and EDM festivals, but live in a condo and drive a hyundai thats been dropped an inch from the ground. As for the girls, "living" like that isnt true if you are a literal or figurative prostitute with a shelf life of 8 years max before you become a washed out party planner with bad plastic surgery.

Bump because I am interested, all I can think of is a critique like Less Than Zero or The Rules of Attraction, or a glorification of the Good Life in Thomas Mann like Buddenbrooks.

Think this a thoughtful post. I've never had the least envy for that kind of life. Imagining it depresses me, the hollow repetitiveness of it (reps) for one thing, the fact that what's being sold I find so ugly, if not repulsive.
Over here I read alot of books, write, work a highly skilled job alone nights, and after 3 years vcel met and began dating a very quiet, very skinny girl who I actually like. Together since GHD, but hung out for about a year before dating. Feels old school. No complaints.

He was trying to explain how earlier he was playing PUBG and the other players were jealous that he was going to meet bikini models and then the models were like "yeah, whatever, what's PUBG?" and he tried to explain it awkwardly and they clearly weren't interested and he was like "ok well it was nice to meet you ladies" and they rolled their eyes and gavehim fakes smiles and said "you too" and then he walked to his leased BMW and drove home and at a stoplight he tweeted the day's photos out and pretended it was awesome but really he was just thinking that it was not a great experience and maybe if he had spent all those hours in the gym getting a high status job, maybe one in finance like his dad told him to, then maybe those girls would like him and then HE could blow THEM off, "haha yeah, that'd be great, you know what maybe I just will, someday they'll say 'I knew him when!' when I really make it," when he leaves the world behind, then he pulled into a parking spot and just sat in the car and wiped his eyes and said to himself "we're all gonna make it bro" and then buried his face in his hands and sobbed

>read the
because they can't do either (read or write) they shit talk a worn patois and blah blah blah

People who devote their lives to self-enjoyment like this can never fully conceal their misery. You see it in their eyes. Always chasing the next pleasure, lacking contentment. They are more interested in proving to others that they are happy, than in actually being happy. It's a worn happiness, like make-up.

-

Long ago, when the sage Yao governed the world, he made the world bright and gleeful; men delighted in their nature, and there was no calmness anywhere. When the tyrant Chieh governed the world, he made the world weary and vexed; men found bitterness in their nature and there was no contentment anywhere. To lack calmness, to lack contentment is to go against Virtue, and there has never been anyone in the world who could go against Virtue and survive for long.

>>11131587
OP, the man and the two women in the picture are most likely deeply depressed. They hide it well in their posts on Instagram but they have no core values in their life, which leads them to view the world as a meaningless stage in which disposable actors come and go at the whims of directors.

OP's pic reminds me: I am a virgin. I will die a virgin. My death will be a death that would have been considered sad if it had occurred perhaps fifteen years before. There will be grief, but all the agonies that my progenitors might pass into (and they are the only people in this entire world who even know of my existence) will be underpinned by this indomitable truth: it is a mercy that he is gone. The quantity of my existence stands only as a component for perpetuating the tortuous quality of the cheap jest that constitutes its vapid manifestation. My virginity has become the gorgon against which all my faculties rise only to be turned to stone; but this is no silent stone, this is not the stone of Plotinus that stands as the antithesis of the Intellectual Principle--for while yet stone I still feel the mind's unscrupulous lacerations and all that grieves the very fibers of its being. The spirit is dimmed each time a girl passes before the mechanism of sight that some pitiless god has glued to my body. Even the ugly, unshaven, modernity enthralled women with clowns' hair and bodies desecrated with tattoos which map out upon fastfood fed bodies the vapid cliches that coagulate to form their mind, even these paralyze the life in me. Masturbation has become merely the corpse of a habit that no longer instills pleasure, no longer even succeeds in distracting, but is only the dull libidinal twitch of a mind faced with the irrepressible impossibility of its reality, while lacking the courage to galvanize itself towards rectification. In the end I do not seek repentance. The decimated husk of my ego drifts towards the only gray shore its virginity-shackled mind can still vaguely form, still vaguely know as whisper or faint wriggling worm in an unclear wound--worm's whisper out of a wound that clears: Death. Here is the Telos to which the entirety of my Dasein has been speeding. Here I shall sink at last, unrequited, into the tentacles of Annihilation's amnesia. My humiliation slowly becomes seething hatred for all who embody that element of the opposite sex, and my soul's relentless cry for something beyond suicide slowly twists itself into ever more feverish fetishes that the internet can happily supply an outlet for. At last, the inconsequential blip that referenced Myself whenever it imagined 'I Am' shall find, not rest, but an end to the sequence of caustic images that only ever taunted it into further depths of Hell's sardonic pitch. No prostitute can relieve me of my virginity, for it has become a magnificently metaphysical lesion that I lack the medicine or Savior's name to remove and, like that man at the pool of Bethesda, take up my carpet and walk into the world again

>>11131587
It probably is nice to live like that for a while. But very very few people do OP.

Most people have to work hard as hell to achieve wealth, and when they achieve the wealth, they have to work twice as hard again just to maintain their wealth over a long period of time.

The people in that picture are probably trust-fund babbies who are getting money from their parents, who did all the work.

aristocrats of the """soul"""
nietzsche is keking so hard now

>There is only nobility of birth, only nobility of blood. When one speaks of "aristocrats of the spirit," reasons are usually not lacking for concealing something. As is well known, it is a favorite term among ambitious Jews. For spirit alone does not make noble. Rather, there must be something to ennoble the spirit. What then is required? Blood.

No, the definition of a 'true aristocrat' is a guy who got granted some real estate for exceptional wartime service.

Will to power aphorism 960

>From now on there will be more favorable preconditions for more comprehensive forms of dominion, whose like has never yet existed. And even this is not the most important thing; the possibility has been established for the production of international racial unions whose task will be to rear a master race, the future "masters of the earth"; a new, tremendous aristocracy, based on the severest self-legislation, in which the will of philosophical men of power and artist-tyrants will be made to endure for millennia -- a higher kind of man who, thanks to their superiority in will, knowledge, riches, and influence, employ democratic Europe as their most pliant and supple instrument for getting hold of the destinies of the earth, so as to work as artists upon "man" himself. Enough: the time is coming when politics will have a different meaning.

That roid monkey isn't gonna live a very great life ten years from when that picture's taken, when his body starts to shut down. I'm not gonna pretend I don't want to fuck those two women, though. I feel sorry for the guy, not for his current state, but because he's likely filled with vanity, and when his physique starts to fail, I doubt he'll find enough depth in his thoughts to keep living a very satisfying life afterwards.

>>11134872

Just world fallacy

>>11134872
>vanity
This is false, he's likely filled with deep wells of insecurity which is calmed by his physique. Although you are right, once this source of external validation starts to go if he hasn't evolved/replaced this then he'll fall into a horrible part of his life.

>>11134921
Vanity and insecurity aren't mutually exclusive, it might just means he draws pride from his looks and commercial success, which may very well be related to making up for some insecurity.

Doesnt sound alpha. Its like you people have never experienced self esteem and alpha state. I'm not saying I live it 100%, but you can definitely be happy to just be alive and look good and have money. Bitches would be like "whats PUBG?" and he's like "give me a kiss and I'll tell you" and then he starts talking about how good he is at PUBG and what a cool concept it is as he gets head from the other bitch and rubs the first girl's fake tits with a curious glee. He knows they're fake but that his 8 inch dick is real.
When he goes home to play PUBG he feels a bit of a burn when his headphones rub on his marginally sunburned skin. His gf (3rd girl) gets him some lotion. He dies in PUBG and gets fucking pissed off for a while. His gf doesn't excite him much anymore, so they watch some tv show while eating some cherries and he casually fondles her ass and imagines fucking that mulatto bitch from the show. Blondes are so tiring. He goes to bed and feels the freshness of the sheets, and plans a way of breaking up with his girlfriend. Should he even talk about it, or just kinda tell her through text and leave her stuff somewhere? Gotta park the car inside or she might key the paint and that'd fuck up the lease agreement. It's good that he has an acquaintance who can repaint it in the original color at a discount. He decides to leave the car parked outside as it's more convenient for driving back and forth to the set of the new movie he's filming and how he can afford hundreds of new cars just like that. He can't count exactly how many, but he's glad he's financially smart enough to not actually buy cars. The new studio contract is alright, his agent tried but that other famous actors' is better. He gets 12% royalties. Imagine that, FUCKING 12%. Anyway, life is good. That cute makeup department girl who drools over me will like the tan. She's about 7/10 with makeup..never fucked her...I wonder why. She's a brunette...Well, there will be time for that..tomorrow..

worth mentioning that there is a whole preamble cut out here

“There is only nobility of birth, only nobility of blood. (I am not speaking of the little word “von” or Almanache de Gotha: parenthesis for asses.) When one speaks...

The Will to Power, 942 (1885)

this implies that people who are born into titles are not necessarily aristocrats and neither are those who are slavish but assume themselves to be superior because of their moralism and struggle, which Jewish Zionists had claimed many times during his period. This would apply to the wealthy today and also to blacks especially that claim this kind of nobility

ALL ANONS PLEASE PAY ATTENTION

If you are dissatisfied with your life, and you think that alphas live like this:
>>11137042
then you are delusional. This is utter nonsense. Even the chadiest Chad does not live like this. If you are comparing yourself to this standard, its a recipe for depression.

PLEASE just buck up, gather your confidence, and tackle life one small problem at a time. Don't put yourself down because you aren't living this caricature of "success". No one is like that.

>>11137127
It is possible. Why are you being a crab barrel little fag? Like I said, I don't always live it, and nobody can have great days 100% of the time. But there are good looking people with big dicks and chiseled bodies out there. I have that. There are people who get rich. Life can be fun. I am not saying it's realistic to go from 0 to 100 in 1 year. But the goal is possible. I have felt alpha state, I have felt that nothing bad will affect me because I have high value and self esteem. I have days where I skip workouts and girls turn me down and I feel like a nobody. But it's possible. You, the person reading this, you deserve happiness. You have to put in the work though. To become Chad you have to BE Chad. Firefighters fight fire, that's why they're firefighters. They can go a lifetime of not being firefighters, but when they get the job and are putting out the fire, they're real. You can be Chad, you just have to be honest- the only thing that makes Chad a Chad, is being Chad. Not "oh chad would do x and never do y". No, Chad is Chad. You CAN be a fucking hot guy with self esteem and a big dick. Shit, my dick was less than 7.5 inches and it's 8 after jelqing. You CAN improve your facial features too. You can have what Chad has, and that's what makes him Chad. Just be real. Go and put in the work and get what you want, and ENJOY it.

If not, that's cool too. Stay in your head and read books about other people too in their head to have fun.

>>11131587
>I don't mean every second of everyday, maybe just once every week or two.
Everybody generally does that already I thought. Maybe not to such a great extent as your pic, but I personally go out to drink and socialize with friends and enjoy myself a few times a month at least.

So you want literature advocating for the lifestyle of hedonism in small doses or something?

>>11137326
i'm pretty sure he is referring specifically to the extreme case: expensive yachts, expensive sunglasses, fucking hot women, drinking expensive liquor

generally just the kind of thing you see people like the guy in the OP's pic trying to push on their instagrams nowadays

>>11137306
I didnt say that. To have high self esteem consistently you need to have high physical value consistently. I dont say you have to do x or y lifestyle. Just stop coping and be real. Life doesn't have to be fundamentally suffering and being in your own head all the time. Life can be fun and good, if you seek it.

>>11137353
>To have high self esteem consistently you need to have high physical value consistently
i'm just amazed at how transparent your discourse is and how you can't see it isn't even yours, but merely a dumbed-down retread of handed-down discourses that are themselves fraudulent.

life can be fun and good, and sociable and enriching, but it doesn't need to have anything to do with stupid reddit concepts invented by people who are depressed that they can't realize their empty self-imposed objective

>>11137373
Ok bro believe what u want. Anyone who has ever felt a taste of having high self esteem will know I'm right. That feeling of being awesome, of girls getting wet just looking at you and literally trying to pick YOU up off the street, of people trying to please you, of whipping your cock out in full confidence, it's intoxicating, knowing nobody can tell u shit

I'm not saying this is the be all end all, but not being Chad is like being crippled. Something is missing.

>>11137353
>being in your own head all the time
This is what means being a human anon.
We live in a world of fantasies all the time, (because reality is full of pain/suffering/boredom) this is what you do when you remember the past or think about future possibilities and when you read a book or watch movies. It is constant escapism (even "Chad" & "Stasy" do this).

No, that would be building your house on sand too, because - like you say - it will be lost.
The only solid foundation is God. If your life isn't built upon this eternal foundation, then you're just building sand castles that will be swept away by the tide.
>Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.

Once you've lived it up like that for an indeterminate amount of time, you realize how vacuous and fleeting the pleasure really is. Sure we all daydream about driving a McLaren around and being an ultra-successful rugby player / renowned philosopher, but none of that is really noteworthy at the superficial level: you're just lusting for recognition and probably acceptance as well. I think everybody needs a phase of shameless hedonism in their younger years to grasp how necessary restraint can be.
