Holy shit bruh I think I know you in real life. Looks like shits going well for you.

Fuck everyone in this topic whos giving you shit. If youre happy, thats all that matters. Whatd you guys talk about when you first met?

The night we met, I was wearing black and white checkered vans, and she was too, but hers had David Bowie on them. She's obsessed with him! We talked about him. I met her at a bar I stopped at on my way to a "emo night" dance party, and ended up asking her to come! We stayed up til 6 am partying, and ended up back at her place.

Forgot my question

What does your family/friends say about the relationship.

Im guessing she is closer in age to your parents?

My sisters and dad are very supportive. I think my mom is coming around, but she was a little alarmed at first! My friends are all very supportive too.

What potential do you think there is when you're dating a partner that is 20 years older?

I can get scared and nervous about that, but I don't want to create problems, and enjoy every day I have together.

I'm crazy about this girl. I haven't felt this way about anyone in a good 10 years. And if it was the other way around, society would have no problem with it.

She is literally everything I've been looking for. I really don't care about her age.

Just watched your Mulan cover too and subscribed.

Only suggestion is can you find a way to rebalance your audio channels because when I listen on headphones, most of the audio is only coming out from the left earpiece.


Thanks man!

hmm I will have to listen and try to figure out what's going on!

Great rendition there. I really enjoyed listening to it - felt really well balanced.

I am a huge fan of piano covers and they're great for listening to at work if I get a chance to put headphones on.

Listening to this makes me want to go back to my parent's house and play the piano again. I'm even debating if I want my daughter to learn piano but she'd have to learn on a keyboard since there's no way I can fit a huge piano in my condo.


I'm a huge fan too! What are some of your favorite channels?

If you're at all a fan of Radiohead, I'd highly recommend "HeavyPiano".

ate 5-6 meals a day until 80% full


How did you determine this percentage?

I went by feeling stuffed is 110-120%, being full/completely satisfied is 100%. So I ate until no longer hungry. The point is, just eat less lol.

Also, 9% body fat jesus christ you fatfuck put down the fork

Damn dude, post this on the martial arts board to motivate people. You did this on psyche meds too, right? Even bigger props. You might be lower than 9% BTW now you can get a career in the fitness industry :)


Yeah, taking Nardil currently. It still messes around with my fat metabolism. What made me gain all the wait was Remeron and Olanzapine. F*** those meds.

That's honestly inspiring.

I'm about to turn 27. I'm out of fucking shape to hell and back. I just started working out lightly the past week; about to take a post workout shower actually. I'm going slow with it due to recovering from a leg surgery but I'm going for it. Working on the diet as well.

Congratulations again. That's fucking awesome.


You can do it man. Trust me, you can do it. I've always been a horrible athlete and not gifted with muscle mass or strength. But if you are willing to outwork everyone, you can achieve anything in the gym.

My advice is to laser focus on your diet, and it really won't matter what you do/don't do in the gym.

My goal was to get to single digit BF %, went to a nutrition clinic and they hooked me up this device that scans my BF % using electrodes. Final result was 9%.

https://imgur.com/rrw2N7K

Here's how I did it. It was probably 80-90% diet and the rest working out.

Diet:

-Did not count calories OR macros, ate 5-6 meals a day until 80% full

-Diet focused on lean protein (chicken/fish/whey only), healthy fats (avocado, almonds, olive oil, milled flax seed), and leafy green (spinach) and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower). Moderate fruit (berries and bananas) and low amounts of fibrous whole grain carbs (1/4 to 1/2 cup oats per day). That was really all I ate for 17 weeks.

-No cheat meals at all - only a glass of straight vodka on my birthday

Workout (average 5 x week, sometimes 6):

-Barbell power lifting and strength training 3 x week. The program I went with is called "Heavy light medium", because it allowed me to also do intense cardio on the off days. I went with front squat over back squat, bench press, overhead press, sumo deadlift, dips, and pull-ups. No ab work.

-Cardio was jump rope HIIT 2 x a week. 5 minute warm up at jog pace, followed by 15 minutes of alternating 30 sec sprint, 30 sec jog

-Some martial arts (brazilian jiu-jitsu)

-Occasional LISS on incline treadmill

What's next?

The first thing I did was ate over a pound of Reese's. Now I need a new goal. I want to bulk up to a lean 170.

Worth adding accessories?

The goal is to have visible abs without flexing. Im 510 155 pounds and about 9-10% bf.

-Focused on cruciferous and leafy green vegetables

I took this diet to an extreme actually, and did not have any cheat meals for the 15 weeks, with one exception. On my 28th birthday, I had a straight glass of vodka.

You can pull it off i think, just gotta get past that awkward phase. Growing hair sucks sometimes because you really have to be patient and endure the negative comments if you really want it.

But so far the 1st photo does look better.

I would say also maybe tie it back some, maybe even a man bun. might help with a new look and getting past the awkward part.


Here's it in a bun. I think it looks a lot better like this than down at it's current length:

My manager, who is a director, is leaving the company in two weeks. I was called into the executive director's office and he explained that he wanted me to take on many of my manager's responsibilities.

He said this would involve being moved into a new role with a pay increase. He said that it is not a director level position and that I would need to prove myself.

I know what I am making (85k) and what the person before me in my role was making (180k, but with more responsibilities, 20-30 years of experience), and I know how much my manager is making (over 200k, but with 20 years experience and an MBA).

How do I make sure that I am receiving an equitable pay increase proportional to my responsibilities and years of experience?

I looked on Glassdoor and I'm getting a huge range of salaries for this new position, from 66k to 120k, with an average of 88k, which is about what I am making now. But I'm in the highest COL city in America.

He was on my Southwest flight with his gf (wife?) and kid from Hollywood Burbank to Oakland. Only a couple of people even seemed to recognize him, no entourage.

He just nodded at me when I asked for a picture, and then mumbled something when I thanked him for it.
