Moral Letters by Seneca

>>12170279
That's because you're too scared to give up your self. It's why so many people aren't successful in life, you're too attached to your current self that you'll never improve.

>>12170271
Probably something Buddhist.

I used to be young, healthy, good looking and hedonistic and as I see myself falling apart in my 30s I'm realising they were right all along.

No, it's because I already have the rest. Wealth is what I'm lacking.

What are some books for this feel

Oh? And what of your works? Your sons and your daughters - and their - how many is their number?

Read Ecclesiastes and the OT.

If you're enjoying your life why would you want to ruin it by getting an explanation of why you shouldn't be? Ignorance is bliss, anon.

You'll find out soon enough without the help of any books.

Also, do girls even like guys like the one on the right? It seems like they prefer guys like the one in the middle. Plainer, more approachable, but still not bad looking.

6's and 7's get approached more often than 10's but that doesn't at all mean that men prefer 7's to 10's

>>12173475
What sort of strange metric are you using to determine what people prefer? In my world people approach those they prefer.

This.

>>12173533
Do women get off on empowering men they can't have or degrading men they can more? Do you think it has anything to with spite that their standards are too high?

Women don’t get off, they’re not capable of the self confidence necessary for proper dionysian experience. Id assume that the act of emasculating lesser males is something closer to a displacement of angst and reclaiming of honor than it is anything “enjoyable”. All female sexuality is entangled with their physical incompetence and emotional delusions of grandeur, of freedom from that very delimitation as little stalks in a torrent of androgenic will. Trying to fathom the phenomenology of a half formed imp whose entire discourse and strategy for engagement with creation is dissimulation and misdirection is disgusting. Don’t ask stupid questions like this again.

Why is it that when I read BAPs Tweets I'm filled with a sense of optimism even though I know he's an amoral pomo, but all the Anons who try to use his memes off Twitter are bitter cunts? It's like brah his whole gimmick is optimism.

>even though I know he's an amoral pomo
you misspelled homo

>>12173576
I didn't ask you how you get off, and I was aware the questions were loaded. What I really mean to say is do you think these degrading these "insects" for sake of selectivism as means for establishing sexual value is something that should be endorsed as openly as it is?

>>12170271

this anon is right, start off with In The Buddha's Words imo

Is that Squidward?

just finished On the Road

what is some other hedonismcore?

Jack/Deans adventure and how everything was sad provided me some insight to what i've missed out on as basically I'm a 30 year old virgin that never leaves the house

>>12170271
>why I'm living life the wrong way?
I can't recommend anything because you're not living life the wrong way.

>>12170275
this did the opposite for me,
it was the true blackpill.
Wilde shows that the halo effect is understated and people only care about the quality of presentations.

And that only as it adds to your agency - which it doesn't because Op, you don't even have control over your selection, being the target you innately are by those other qualities. If you had wealthy that was truly yours to use as you willed, I'd be envious, but you don't. You cannot usurp even the desires we create for you. And as it stands now, you're a channel to be tricked by better, older, fighting men with long-term strategies, and I hope you don't do anything but waste your life on what you think is pleasant. I have stock tips for you by the way. And an event called a political rally I'd like for you to attend. Just hold my hand and I'll do the talking. No, no, just keep your hand there. That's right. Keep it there and shut your mouth. Now smile. Happier! Smile you stupid fuck! Smile for the camera.

For real now, guys:
How do I get a gf?
I did it before, but I lost the magic

>>12170271
you're not. it would only be a problem if you had no wealth. wealth is everything. to deny material wealth is to deny the essence of life on Earth, which is competition for resources. all life and advancement springs from the desire for resources.

>>12170271
that's one gay picture

This is the right suggestion.

sorry but you are clearly projecting your own angst on women

IRS reads tweets?

>living a hedonistic life
What does this even mean?
How do you get anything out of life if you're lazy? How is it hedonistic if you're not lazy?

By that logic, only a rich born non-overeating fuck could ever be hedonistic? I think that word lost its meaning because today everybody is "hedonistic" in the sense of what that word meant before. Nobody bows to a honorable culture of any sense or something - every kid does what it wants.

In two sentences, what's the Buddhist stance on it? I wonder if it says you should better not?

>>12176158
Pleasures are ultimately unsatisfactory. Chasing after them causes suffering.

>>12173177
yes

Are you still in high school or something? Once you become an adult kindness becomes an attractive quality.

>>12180320
>he thinks the qualities that make a man attractive are the same qualities that make a woman attractive

Are you still in college or something?

>>12180375
No, I've been married for three years and am speaking from experience. Being kind has always worked for me, and I don't mean in a desperate, pathetic, fawning way. I mean with gestures that show you care.

The brooding, indifferent guy is a fantasy women grow out of. Be a responsible man.

>>12180411
4channel is a board for angry edgy teenagers, go away boomer

>>12180411
You went from 'be the kind of person you wish to attract' to 'just be kind'.

The first is wrong and the second is lacking. Kindness alone is not enough.

>>12180411
I don't really know what women find attractive but if I had to guess I would say drive power and resilience

>>12175091
Look at females in the eyes and be confident.

Jordan Peterson's 12 rules to life

there is absolutely nothing wrong with living the Chad life

>>12180411
>The brooding, indifferent guy is a fantasy women grow out of.
is it possible that they just stop attracting these guys as they get older and rationalize it this way

>>12181103
Sure, just like the beta providers rationalise that women have grown out of chads in order to settle for them.
