/SIG/ - Self Improvement General

Social Gains SO Edition
Do you currently have an SO? What are you actively doing to obtain one?

>What is /SIG/ and what is it doing on Sup Forums?
Since Sup Forums is an anti degeneracy board it is only logical that we try and promote the healthiest lifestyle possible. We are against drug abuse, alcoholism, pornography, gluttony and laziness. Taking care of oneself is incredibly important in order to make any sort of positive change in the world. Before we can know right from wrong, we must enrich ourselves spiritually. Before we can argue we must improve our mental knowledge of philosophy. Before we can take back our communities, we must be in top physical condition.

>Why should I self improve?
It’s almost impossible to not indulge in the decadence of of the west these days. It has created a mass of MSM slaves focused on vanity and material things, which the powers that be exploit in order to make a submissive population. To truly be independent and righteous individuals we must re-capture our manhood.

>What is the general philosophy of /SIG/?
To truly live is to struggle. You must internalize this truth in your being and actions and spread it to others whom you care for. You as an individual can always choose to go against the flow and struggle and persevere while the rest of society rots and withers away. It's not an easy path, but you go on because you know that you are in the right and that in the end you will be vindicated. Live to live your life correctly and that will bring happiness to yourself and those around you.

>>Basic advice
>Stop drinking sodas and eating junkfood
>Prepare your own meals
>Go outside more
>Stop watching porn
>Get /fit/
>Read books
>Get 7-8 hours of sleep
>Stop playing vidya
>SOCIALISE MORE

We humans are social creatures and if you want a gf, you have to get out and socialise more.

Daily reminder that the steak and eggs diet is the most redpilled diet.

Learned some nifty Sql C# stuff.

I hope this thread survives although I don't need it.

Awwwww yeah

Yeah bump.

Not fapping and not waching porn was the shit that turned it around for me, started /fit/ and abandoned GAYmes too.

Nice job user, keep with it!

Anyone who claims they don't need to improve themselves is fooling no one. Everyone can improve.

so i am a big fan of /sig/

But the one thing I struggle with is playing less videogames. I still go to the gym all the time and have sculpted the perfect aryan physique. Any advice?

Try listening to audio books when you play vidya. That's what I did and it made me feel like I wasn't totally wasting my time. Also try to get all work done before you play for the day

Good for you. Masturbation and pornography is an easy out for many Western men. It distracts you from getting a gf because it gives you a false sense of arousal that is ussually obtained when one has a gf.
Golden One did a great video on it with Matthew Drake and I think you can relate. Golden one is Swedish too! Highly recommend his videos.

What I did was I played Vida for like a whole two days straight and I completely fucking burned out. Haven't played since, but I wouldn't exactly recommend doing this

What helps for me is not turning my computer on. Because after a busy day of uni and work I would come home and boot on my pc and play for hours. Once I stopped doing this for a month, I broke the habit, lost interest in vidya, and am now able to use my PC with temptation of wasting away precious hours on vidya.

>Apply to ivy league university

As an undergrad?

*without

Well I am kinda depress these days!!
but if your cause is for general society thn I will try to work on myself! However since I am too lonley in mylife- idk what will happen.
Had a gf once and a cool group of buddies and at present- none!
The worst part was that due to few downs- I thought atleast she will be with me to support me even emotionally.
but now I feel like a lost cause baka!!

Glad to see you back! Eggs are fine, but as far as meats go, leaner ones such as turkey, chicken, and fish are the way to go.
t. genetically predisposed to heart conditions because everyone in my family has had a heart attack except my dad

Can anyone give me advice about better posture? I can sit up straight if I'm actively thinking about it, but when I don't I catch myself slouching again

I have been improving mine as well! The thing is you have to constantly remind yourself to fix it until it becomes a habit, think of it as a new skill that takes time to learn

I stopped playing video games when I realised that you're just throwing time into the abyss. You've got to realise how much your time is worth and that immediately sucked any joy out of playing video games for me.

Props on that aryan physique.

Chin Ups!! they will strengthen your posture straight .
do like 25-30+ daily

no birds or sea rats only steak and eggs

Are you in school? Make friends with classmates and join clubs. Working? Go out with coworkers to get food after your shift. Neither? Get a job or got to school.

books on what it is to me a man pls? Feel like I need to improve on that and it feels bad feeling like I'm not the man I should be.

>/esg/
fuck, what is that again?

In moderation it is okay. Remember your heart needs to be healthy too user!

theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2013/mar/11/how-bad-is-steak-for-you

bump, cause you can't fix this world without fixing yourself first

just finished this recently, would recommend

ah okay, and read that one, but want more.

Those seem like perfectly good books. Outside of reading, you should go to the gym and get good sleep. My confidence gains have gone up so much after going to the gym for an hour everyday

how do i make steak at home?

Final year Engineering bro!
You see my life had been an exponential function - but in negative y direction.
It started awesomely in first year and but as the time went on- it decayed. And now I have the fossil memories of my good times.
love sucks sometimes, and it hurts more when you consider yourself one woman man, respect the female gender above you in a good way and I told her that I don't like temprory fuck boy stuff but i was stomped . Sometimes I feel turning gay baka!! but i have no attraction to males unfortunately.
and as for my buddies- IDK but they found their gfs, or got busy so much that they forgot everything.....

saw this, I'll have to bump it up the list of "to purchase"

Money is tight, so gym is out of the question right now, but I do try and bike a fair bit. I need better clothes tho because my jeans and cargo pants aren't exactly working for that. kek

>Stop drinking sodas and eating junkfood
I'm not giving up diet soda.

>Prepare your own meals
Why? Cooking is boring and too easy to fuck-up.

>Go outside more
No. It's too cold out and I live in the middle of nowhere.

>Stop watching porn
No.

>Get /fit/
Meh. Strength training hurts.

>Read books
Why?

>Get 7-8 hours of sleep
I keep sleeping too much. I wish I could only sleep 7-8 hours a day.

>Stop playing vidya
I've been trying to get BACK to playing vidya.

>SOCIALIZE MORE
I'd do that but I live in the middle of nowhere. The only people I meet are on the other end of a register.

>diet soda
You're a special kind of retarded cuck, aren't you? Diet is even more of a Jewish trick than regular soda

life was never a contest of who lives the longest

take it out of the fridge an hour before and salt and pepper it. After the hour is up and the steak is room temp, heat a cast iron skillet up to high, add butter and cook turning it every minute until it feels the same as the muscle on your palm under you thumb when you press your thumb and index finger together. Dont forget to render the fat by putting the fatty edge straight up on the skillet.

First you buy a cow.
Then you kill the cow.
Then you slice the meat of the dead cow into portions about the size and shape as seen in that pic.
Then you must heat that meat to your liking.
Enjoy!

Get a cast iron skillet. Its cheap and will last you forever. Put a little oil in the skillet and heat it until it is just starting to smoke. Sear the hell out of the steak quickly on both sides and then pop the whole skillet into a preheated oven at 400 degrees for a couple of minutes.

Best steak ever. I much prefer to grilling and its fast and has virtually no prep or cleanup.

ah, now I see. You're a shill. Duly noted

Aspartame cucks

YO Check Out my mixtape youtube.com/watch?v=F--m-XtEtSk&ab_channel=ThePianoVann

>You're a special kind of retarded cuck, aren't you? Diet is even more of a Jewish trick than regular soda
Regular soda is loaded with sugar. Diet has zero calories and the sweetener is passed through urine completely un-metabolized.

Aspartame is harmless. Even so, Diet Pepsi is Aspartame-free.

>>Stop watching porn
This is the hardest part for me, I feel like an addict
Any help?

This thread is for people trying to improve themselves, not for those trying to degrade into a worthless, waste of space. Hopefully someday you come around and hope to improve yourself

Limit yourself - Set aside an hour or two to play then atleast you wont go overboard
Listen to audio books - You will atleast get something out of the time spent
Find another hobby - Replace the time normally spent playing video games on something productive

Best of luck

Go /out/ and appreciate some comfy nature.

start right now by switching to only pictures, no videos. After a while of that go every other time to just your imagination, then 2/3 times, then 3/4, etc.

I'd like to improve, but nobody ever clarifies why these things improve your life. A simple "why" is usually enough of a counter-argument against something completely baseless.

It's hard to just go cold turkey, if you really need some porn, pictures. Stay away from video, that's what really fucks your brain up. But honestly, you should limit fapping in general to once or twice a week at most.

cut the internet, avoid it like the plague. it's harsh, but it is the best way to do it.
if you have a job and go the gym, work days should be easy, on the weekends try to do something productive, possibly outside or at least away from the internet.
also set yourself some goals, 3 days, 1 week, 10 days and ever increasing gaps between your "time to bust a nut" days

Hmm, for me it was easy so I can't say I can help you much but I do have a few suggestions.
1. Access your router and turn block all pornography sites you visit
2. If you get it from other pages like Sup Forums, block those and stop going there.
3. If stopping cold turkey isn't working maybe keep cutting back from 1 every 2 days, to once a week, to once a month etc.
4. Research other ways people have quit

For me I was able to quit because I went to yourbrainonporn.com and saw what it does to you. I did, and still do, have a huge crush on one of my friends and I want to prepare my self for the best case scenario. The last thing I want to happen is realise I have porn induced ED when things get intimate.

Stop browsing Sup Forums for at least a week or two to get you over the initial hurdle, too much pornography shared on here to tempt you. After that it gets easier.

>I don't want to change anything
Are you happy with who you are?

if you have to ask why you will never understand the answer in the first place

how about trying it before you shit all over it then? Just give it a real chance. You'll see how much better you feel. Soda especially. Replace it with water or seltzer like I did. Soda is garbage. You are what you put into yourself

Read "Becoming a Barbarian" by Jack Donovan

Very good too

For a fag he writes well

I'm finally not overweight anymore.

I'm so ready to quit dieting and start building muscle, but I'm gonna keep it up for another month or so, because I'm still only a pound away from being overweight.

You feel a sense of worth. A man with worth and confidence will be able to obtain things his old self could have only wished of having (promotion, worth-while degree, attractive gf, etc.)

Post pic of ur obesity, shill

Look at what your posture problems are.. Check pic related


The trick is to identify the muscles that are tight (which are pulling you in one direction). Once you do this you must stretch those muscles and strengthen the opposing muscles.

Look into pelvic tilts as well , as this is the main problem most people that sit down face. There are plenty of videos on yt to fix pelvic tilt.

Finally, stand up straight with your hands loose . See where your thumbs are pointing. If the thumbs are pointing towards your legs you have forward rotated shoulders as well.

To fix these you must do lots of back and upper back exercises (face pulls, rows, pull-ups) and very few chest work-outs. As each chest exercise you do will strengthen the chest muscles effectively hunching you more. You can get a decent improvement in a few months of doing back stuff. I used to do face pulls every gym session for 3 months (3 /week) and helped a lot.

Also do some massage if you an afford it and can find a decent massage therapist/kinetotherapist.

Stay away from bone cracking and chiropractics tho.

Best of luck

>porn induced ED
I'm not saying it doesn't exist, but I still don't understand that. I've been jerking it to video porn since I was like 12 and I usually have a problem keeping it down

What's up /sig/
So I've been making steady gains in some areas of life (lost 30 lbs, maintaining a 4.0 in sophomore year of STEM undergrad, porn-free for 4 months), but my social life has essentially been on hold for as long as I can remember. The past few months I've been oscillating between being relatively adept at everyday chit chat and being irrationally defeatist about social situations as simple as making an order at fucking Subway.
I can feel that /r9k/ woe-is-me mentality creeping forth in my mind every day, leading me to be more and more content with the fact that I'm leagues behind others my age in honing these social skills
Despite being relatively young, it seems as if this attitude is gradually solidifying in my persona and may carry on for years, which terrifies me
Where should I start on the path back to normalcy?

gjdm, stay strong

He would've been a prime example if he wasn't a fag... No body's perfect, eh?

idea is that you get ED near partners, real woman, not in porn.

basically your dick learns to only respond to either porn or thinking of porn

Jack Donovan is str8 tho

I need social gains.
My coworkers are older white guys that I learn from, but after moving to a new place I need to get some friends.
Was eating better before my job, but now I am too tired to cook after work nor can I meal prep knowing that I have to leave the state at a moments notice.

join a club

Red meats can provide test boost so it really depends.

what do if you have that forward head thing?

Reach out to your friends, don't expect them to reach out to you

>Generation Identity
lol, most of this is just ridiculous fantasy literature akin to fucking lord of the rings novels. + don't listen to the idiots telling you to hit the gym, find a sport that's for you and have the networking with the people from that sport be the thing that motivates you to go back. Also, it's much better to actually be good at self-defense or something, than to just look good.

if you want some quick tips on how to feel more manly, just grow a beard, and short-term go for some hot hook ups to get your confidence up.

But if you long term want to feel "manly", you should read up on personal finance and make smart employment and investment decisions so you can be a provider one day. Other than that just work on your etiquette, most Americans don't know how to fucking dance, eat or speak correctly, which unless you want some 3rd tier slob for a wife is something you should catch up on.

>No body's perfect, eh?

Guess so. Though I guess he was able to write that due to a lifetime of not having to lower his head to some feminist partner.

Didn't know that, any sauce for that claim?

I'm dating 4 girls. None of them know the other exist.

I had an idea the other night, and feel free to tell me if it's shit, but what about Right Wing Bowling Squads, man?

What better way to hang with the bros and shitpost IRL than a night out bowling?

>Prepare your own meals
>Why? Cooking is boring and too easy to fuck-up.
1. It's cheaper to buy food and cook it yourself than it is to pay for meals in dinners/restaurants/fast food/frozen dinners
2. it's easy to fuck up because I'm guessing, you don't do it very often. More practice it gets easier, just like with everything else.
3. as far as it being boring, yeah, I don't enjoy cooking either. But I do enjoy eating exactly what I want to eat, when I want to eat it.

Literally post this every single fucking time as the first comment....

I don't want to feel manly, I want to BE manly

whats your point?

>goes to self improvement general
>waaahh I don't want to improve!!

Personally, I don't fully agree with stop playing vidya, but I do believe moderation is needed. Vidya can sharpen your mind (if its the right vidya) but vidya can destroy your life if you are easily addicted.

Alpha, but degenerate. Sort yourself out, user.

you sound like a faggot

No

You sound like a woman: "If you don't know, I'm not going to tell you"

>how about trying it before you shit all over it then? Just give it a real chance.
I've tried all of them and I hate them.

>Soda especially. Replace it with water or seltzer like I did. Soda is garbage. You are what you put into yourself
I keep trying to quit. I managed to quit for a month once and it was hell. It's just not worth the effort.

>You feel a sense of worth.
Why will these things give me a sense of worth?

Don't beat yourself up over porn, as long as you still have a healthy sex life other than porn you should be fine.

I don't see why not, seems like a great way to socialise and have fun!

>vidya can destroy your life if you are easily addicted
This is why I stopped

This.

better yet: buy a cow and a bull, build up a sizeable population of cows while milking and killing off excess bulls for steak. But I'm an urbancuck so I might be retarded when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Schwarzenegger used to stand with his heels, backside and back of his head up against a wall, first thing in the morning, and just get comfortable with that position.

I know. Its hard to choose which will be most suited to marry and have kids with. I plan on breaking up with 3 soon. Just hope they wont go and date some nigger.

you're a low T beta cuck r selected faggot. Go back to your fucking dom and get pegged some more.

>SOCIALISE MORE
Socialists

very intrigued

My living situation changed about a month back and it doesn't do it for me the same way it did. Muscle memory and addiction drag me back into it a few times, but otherwise I'm actually getting clean.

Forward head and pelvic tilt generally go hand in hand and over-extend your spine. This leads to back pain when walking a lot , lack of flexibility and even a nice journey to snap city aka herniated discs + loss of limb control.

With the head you generally can fix it easily by standing straight near a wall with every body part touching the wall. Everything. You can fix this pretty easy.

youtube.com/watch?v=JA3O0NVb-sk

Just don't look up or bend the head backwards as you can pinch your nerves and dislocate your cervical vertebrae.

Also, if you EVER wake up with a stiff neck don't ever crack it or make fast turns with your head. This is the best way to get to snap city aka lose your hands and feet.

Do head warmups before every exercise: head bend forward and back (but hold the head with your hands and don't let your head look vertically.. just push into your hands. Look maximum left, look max right slowly. Tilt left tilt right .

Do the wall thing every day 5 times if needed.

Once you have a relatively straight head you can do trapezius exercises like very heavy shrugs and stuff.

Every exercise needs to be done in a soft controlled manner. Sudden movements of everything involving the spine means you can end up in a wheelchair or worse, like Stephen Hawking.


Finally, if you work at a computer

> TILT YOUR MONITOR AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TOWARDS THE CEILING

This will force your head to sit straight as it will follow the best viewing angle of your monitor.

Best of luck

What if I want to own a plantation though?

If they are degenerates, you should be happy you are no longer with them, right? Some things are out of your control user, all you can do is work on yourself
