Still waiting on your question
I apologize. I’m going to try to explain my inquiry tomorrow or during the week.
Disclaimer: I don’t intend to derail this thread, but this is involves discussion about something that I think would make me very happy.
Again, sorry for the delay. I had an inquiry, but then I thought perhaps I should hold off because what I wanted to ask about involves something that I am working on, but is not finished yet. And I don’t like talking about stuff that is not done yet. I’ll explain.
About eight years ago I started a blog, IG page documenting a contest prep, and a YouTube channel about nutrition and lifting. It was entirely for shits and giggles and was not done in a serious manner. Though I did not take it seriously, over the course of the prep I got about 1,300 followers on IG, almost 500 subs on YT, and some people emailing me on the blog. This was done with almost zero effort. So I think something significant would have happened if I continued with content for the past eight years. Since then I moved, changed jobs (I was commuting three to four hours total per day for half a year before I moved), and had children. That’s mostly why I did not continue.
So now I want to do this again, but much more seriously, and to include subject matter that is more serious than just the gym and eating. So being that I am not tech head, I joined an online program for blogging business for healthcare professionals and I will be done with it soon. I think I can have my blog/website up in a few weeks and I want to make YT videos to accompany it. I have been procrastinating with my ideas for quite some time, but now I feel obligated to follow through and give this a fair shot, even if it fails (I want to give it a few years to find out) because I truly want to help others.
The blog/website I intend to make will deal with all things related to men’s well being: nutrition, lifting, mental health (including the subjects of depression and male suicide), TRT, sex (this includes “relationships”, sexual revolution, marriage, “dating,” womanlessness, MGTOW), child raising, family court and divorce, my own experiences, and fashion. Pretty much, I want to make a male-focused library and an online male space where like-minded guys can trade notes.
*As an aside, going forward I will not use the word incel, and will use womanless instead. That’s pretty much what incel meant upon the conception of the term.
I do not want to make yet another run-of-the-mill red-pill, black-pill, or PUA channel or site) making fun of or moaning and groaning about women, though I do have a black-pill streak and have some things to say that are not to some people’s liking. Those podcasts and street interviews meant to belittle women are quite played out.
An idea I have for videos is to interview men from all walks of life (and some women), not just manosphere celebs, and considering your interesting background, I was going to ask you if you would be up for it. Then I thought that considering I don’t like talking about stuff that is unfinished or goals unachieved yet, I would come around and ask you later on. There are also some authors I want to interview.
If there is one day enough traffic, I will consider money making avenues. But besides that, I think I have a lot of shit in my head that I want to speak and write about, and, speaking of what makes us happy, I will be happy to do so. As people here can see, I have ranted on these topics on this forum, probably too much at times. I think I will have much satisfaction using my own platform to do so and will not jam up other places for those uninterested. If it flops, then whatever. Also, though it might seem mushy, I would like to have such platforms as as sorts of memoir for my kids, though that might backfire and they’ll think, “Dad was a strange guy”.

Screw ripoff cable TV.
Yesterday, while doing my weekly powerbuilding squat routine - I kept on ripping my training pants, over subsequent sets, while moving up from the lowest position. The fact that the gym was silent, with no background music on, made me catch some attention from other gym goers. I want to believe it was the four plate squats that draw attention, but can’t be entirely sure. Having my right pant leg ripped completely open, I happily felt I accomplished something.
Yes, the weights have been going up lately, and my unholy weekly assortment of powerlifting, HIT, flywheel training, chest expander and resistance bands seems to be working! Also, I’ve been a bit more consistent with training, food and sleep.
Today, it appeared to me that my shirts and pants have become tighter, though I already changed sizes from L to XL about 6 months ago. My boss spontaneously commented that I’m the most well trained 50 y.o. she has ever seen! Boosted by this, I checked my bodyweight for the first time in 6 months - And realized I now weigh in at 220 lbs! This has been a weight goal for me to achieve over time, with a maintained bodyfat level around 15%. But here’s the kicker - I have failed to recognize this development! Thus I hereby conclude I’m a happy, but far from completed dysmorphophobic!

Many thanks! Indeed! But, I almost failed my lifts, losing the brace, bursting out in spontaneous laughter when the pants ripped, causing a loud echo in the silent gym!

My kid told my wife last night to eat some steak as we sat down for dinner (her plate was lacking protein), that did put a smile on my face.

Husband got a package yesterday that, when he opened it, looked like a kilo of heroin. He gets through some of the packaging and says “Oh! It’s my little fighting guys!”
This is what he got. I’m glad I chose this particular weirdo. He’s a thing that makes me happy.

P.S. I was able to pop his head 4/5 rounds. That made me happy, too. Turns out little fighting guys is one of my special talents.

Where do you leave bruises on him ? Where no one can see
What do I do when he tries to hit me? Duck.
Thats a good move. I’d never be able to hit somebody quacking at me.

My uncle was a dairy farmer, massive guy, tough, kept all sorts of animals and never had an issue dispatching them when necessary, but one time he bought ducks, then realised they were the only animal he couldn’t kill, because, he said, they were always smiling at you.
