Latin American women are amazing as well. I’d say easily Eastern European and Latin American women are the most beautiful and most attractive. Brazilian women are damn good too. I lived there for several years. I prefer women from Eastern Europe over Latinas but Latinas are really good. I think in terms of pure beauty I would choose Colombia. My one issue with Latinas is that I believe I come from a wildly different background and am introverted and also that I am perceived differently there, so when I was there I never really fell in love with anyone just dated and had a little fun. It’s totally anecdotal but for long term I prefer Eastern Europe women.

Realistically the place to date and have fun would be LA and Miami, but it is expensive, extremely competitive (supply/demand/culture/values) and super toxic. Try-hard overpriced cities.... you can go to like 20 other cities on earth that will have the same amount, if not more beautiful women, cheaper living and a much more approachable/friendly culture.

American women are LOUD lol They really act like dudes. I can't stand them to be honest. As friends sure, but dating hell nahhhhh. So glad I married a Russian (sorry dude I know you're from Ukraine) There are some feminine ones for sure from the USA but if they are pretty they will be out of reach unless you're really brining something to the table or they will be milking men for cash and dinners to the point it's a career (onlyfans).

This is where you need to really be doing your work then. Do you love yourself? Do you believe you have inherent spiritual value?

Why? Are you feeling bad about anything in particular? This sounds more like unresolved issues and beliefs. What do you believe about yourself and why do you believe it? I would be journaling a lot if I were you to really understand what’s going on. It sounds like you aren’t entirely sure yourself.

@Carl-Richard my point was pretty vague. I’m simply saying I don’t really know what degree of exercise and activity leads to longevity. I used to lift weights and do strength training. I was no bodybuilder or avid lifter. I’m saying I’m not sure even being an athlete means you’ll live a longer life. I’m trying to understand how much time I reasonably need to put into athletics and exercise to live to 100 and stay mobile and be reasonably strong enough to defend myself and my family. Depends on the program and how advanced you are. For people training who have passed intermediate level programming there are advanced programs that have one rep max for lower body lifts, usually deadlift, sometimes squat. Obviously for most novices (90% of lifters) you won’t be doing a program that has one reps for progression.

There’s nothing wrong with wanting to see what you’re made of. And I’ve only heard ego lifting used when someone is doing something dangerous or stupid in the gym. A one rep max of a squat or bench/press or deadlift is not ego lifting or dangerous or stupid if done right. It’s showing your absolute best ability to apply force to an object with the miracle of your body.

Mount Kailash is considered the most holy mountain on the plant. Has anyone here visited? I want to go.

Very nice. I looked up trips. So I believe there are basically two treks there. From the Nepal side and from the China side. I believe you need a guide foe both is most cases. I don't believe you can do the trek on your own. A place in a smaller group start around $2000 per person from the Nepal side. I would be interested in coming from the China side though, but to be honest it's hard to choose. I want to see how solo I can go but apparently it's pretty protected, at least from foreigners coming in. If you are making a pilgramidge of sorts or a local I'm sure it's essentially free togo around but I believe it's quite difficult to set up a trip here by oneself without a guide unless you're from the area.

I'm really not sure training a lot even leads to a longer life. I heard there are studies coming out now that are basically saying it's either inconclusive or shows little proof intense training actually makes you live longer or healthier. I think obviously failing to do any exercise and eating junkfood, basically retiring to the TV come 70 basically is giving up your mobility. I'm not saying sitting around and eating junk food vs exercising are the same. Just that I question all the hours people spend in the gym, is it worth it? Is simply staying active, going outside a lot and living with purpose maybe all you need? I say this as someone who has grown jaded with the gym, it's genuinely boring and I'm questioning if it's even extending my life or mobility. My dad never went to the gym, he bikes a lot and eats healthy and doesn't smoke. He moves great for his age for a man in his 70s. My grandpa was lazy in retirement and got zero movement, his brain deteriorated as he spent his retirement in front of the TV, he moved decent up until he died when he was 90 (his mind went away long before his movement). I have my doubts about all this training and weight lifting these days. Seems like if you avoid smoking/alcohol, don't get fat, eat healthy, walk and get lots of sun, obviously some athletics (maybe play a sport that's fun?) and have lots of relationships you care about, you'll live longer than most gymcels. Basically what I'm saying is I don't do all the training I used to, I don't think you need to spend more than 5 hours in the gym a week nor chasing all sorts of super high competitive numbers.

Sometimes, so? Path of least resistance. Find what works. I can do self enquiry journaling and go deeper than most meditations, and enjoy it in the process. I did strength training for almost 5 years. The programming is boring. There's no secret to getting strong. You do 3-4 compound lifts every workout for months on end then do intermediate programming which is more of the same. It's boring compared to playing a sport or hiking. Ok... then do 10 rep max. If the weight went up... then you got stronger. It's just a way of measuring. People who lift a heavy 1 rep max do so because they are strong. It doesn't need an explanation. You get in the gym, do your programming, and if your weight goes significantly up whether it's shown through 10 reps or 1 rep max, good, it means you got stronger after your training and your program works.

lmao who the fuck is listening to bro yap for 38 minutes about losing his boxing match

half of all gen z men would let someone break their jaw for a fraction of the cash jake got from netflix for that fight. there is being brave (serving truth) vs being a ballsy fool. there are guys going to war for free to defend their country. this is not some feat of bravery.

He killed his mystique taking this fight. Then again he had been out of the spotlight for a while now. I watched a few videos on if Tate was legit. From my understanding at one point he would of been considered a decent B-C tier fighter. Good enough to do well in a lower tier promotions or gimmicky fights but not good enough to be considered elite and fight for legit world titles in MMA/Boxing. He's comparable to a Jake Paul or a retired MMA fighter, more or less. A decent boxer but not someone with legit merit or capable of making it as a professional alone. theatrics needed to stay relevant or be featured as the main event on a card. I think they see how much money there is in these antics and sometimes buy their own hype. Jake Paul I think did this, or just got off on being viral on social media, and then ended up with a broken jaw. They make money though. Just cause you have their attention, it doesn't mean you have their respect. Haven't seen a single nice comment towards Jake after that beating he took. Was it even worth it? I thought he was already rich no?

Dating in the west is so cooked

How is one rep max show off training? The most obvious demonstration of CHANGE that your are actually getting stronger is if over 3-6 months you can demonstrate you can lift more weight... That's all a 1 rep max shows, If your 1 rep max is 100 kilo squat and six months later it's 150... you got stronger...

Has anyone here heard of Starting Strength? Thoughts on these barbell strength training programs. I've actually had measurable change in my display of strength following a program from Starting Strength. Downside to it is I find it boring. I'd rather get my exercise outside hiking, but Starting Strength would say this is different, it's "training", which I agree. I just find strength training difficult, repetitive and fucking boring.

I love mountains. There is a beauty to them and I connect with my spirit through nature. Hindus believe Shiva lives there. The Buddhists say it's the center of the universe. I don't follow those religions but it's not necessary to in order to get something out of being by a beautiful mountain like Mount Kailash (if you're open to it)

I currently am in Russia. I’m a USA citizen. I married my wife here last autumn (she’s from here). We are moving next year when all documents are in order (we both don’t consider this a safe place to live long term). Here’s my take as a stage yellow wizard. First off the Ukrainian journalist guy kinda has a cope take. Unfortunately Russia is waging a war and for most people life in unchanged here. If the general population felt more accountable and had to pay a larger price I do believe there would be more of a push or some internal opposition to waging this war and Putin would probably be more open to negotiation. Life in Russia is dysfunctional and dystopian for sure but surprisingly if you keep your head down you can live a fairly safe and relatively decent life materially if you make smart choices. Coming here is not particularly dangerous as a western foreigner. It’s different for Africans or people from poor countries who may get tricked into signing a military contract. Yes, it’s true that life here especially minorities and the financially poor are treated like dirt. Just coming here though isn’t comparatively dangerous to most other places and doing your documents here is a pain but I can’t say carries major risks compared to say the USA or China. The second guy is the reason why I don’t associate with foreigners from the west that come to Russia. Most of them are brain-rotted stage blue baptists who project their stage blue shit onto another country and claim they are the same. Russian stage blue is very different from USA stage blue and this guy is going to find all sorts of hoops to jump through about how that isn’t a problem while back in the USA he would throw a fit if Dems did 10% of what Russia does to their citizens. The thing they share is they both don’t like gay people. That’s about it. Even orthodox is different from right winger Baptist if they were smart enough to compare them. They both can relate on hating on gays though. This guy is honestly a fool. He is completely fucked if he ever goes back to the USA, serving in the Russian army could have long term consequences and he could definitely be prosecuted for that if the right justice department is in office.

Some nice calm music and candles burning in the background. Comfortable seating but not so comfortable that you drift off into sleep. Burn a little palo santo before.

India is a “swing” country. Given the cards they are dealt it would not be advantageous for them to align with either Russia or the USA entirely.
