I feel self-conscious about how fat I've become. I'm not huge but my stomach and chest puffs out a lot. I obsess over never being able to find a romantic partner because its so embarrassing. But I'm not sure how to get rid of the belly fat. There's so much advice online and you can't tell genuine truths from bullshit. I have no idea.

Right now I'm trying to eat less and move around more but something tells me its not enough. What's some good fitness info?

Let me clarify. First I'm not OP just in case any of you mistakenly thought that. Next I was saying my legs look oddly fat almost but I am not sure it really is fat or flabby large muscle or fluid retention or if it's just I have long calve muscles too which would be unfortunate for me since I just like leaner looking legs. It firms up when I flex so it definitely isnt all fat. I do seemingly have underdeveloped glutes though so it makes me think maybe my legs have the muscles developed out of balance as part of it. I have a BMI in the mid range and my ribs partially show so I am not sure if i somehow have too much fat in some areas and not others or what. I tried to use compression socks and elevation to make sure it's not just fluid retention which didnt do a whole lot. So I was wondering to myself if muscles can become more lean but more toned instead of just getting stronger, firmer, or larger. Not that is only part I can work on just it is one thing that bothers me more.

I haven't heard of the term ORP, I do not know what that stands for. I see it called 1RM I think. Reps of what though? Just in general you mean?

 No.20716

>>20715
Oh, sorry, i typed ORP instead of ORM and yeah, 1RM = ORM. It is a repetition of whichever exercise you're doing for that exercise, so if you can squat 100kg only once then that's your current 1RM for squatting but it doesn't mean your 1RM is 100kg for curls (unless you have insane bicep and forearm strength).

As for your legs, seems complicated but you won't know until you experiment, you can work out without trying hard to tone the muscle, you can do a lot of cardio and diet to lose fat and see what happens, you can do calisthenics since it sucks for legs.

I've cut out a meal and do some daily exercise but haven't found a gym yet. Still I seem more bloated and fatter than ever. I'm clearly doing something wrong. Thinking of joining a sports club so I have someone to show me what to do.

I'm utterly tired, of the twofacedness of people and being twofaced myself at times. i can barely will myself to do what's necessary anymore. people suck and id rather just die.

Sushis, have you recently experienced situations that went from bad to good? What was it like? What happened? Did it make you feel human?

Me and a few other people run a regular local meetup for students of my uni that are interested in Japan to hang out, talk and have fun. We also have a bunch of Japanese regulars, that use the meetup to hang out with the other Japanese people in town.
Twice a year, exchange students from random unis in Japan come to our city for a month, to do language lessons and stuff. We always get the task of doing some fun activities with them, outside of our regular meetups. Now this was the first time I was part of running this whole operation, and we had something nice planned out. We'd meet them at one of the typical student hangout spots in our city, together with a few of the Japanese people in our group, spend some time with them and grab a bite to eat. In short, a calm hangout, to let them get used to speaking to us foreigners.
What is the bad thing? Well, none of the exchange students showed up. We waited for them in the cold, but none showed up. It's not a mandatory event or anything, so that's fine, but it still was a bit disappointing.
But it turned around! We still went in to eat and had a lovely day with the regulars of our group that turned up! One of the Japanese regulars announced that he'd be leaving soon and moving back to Tokyo, so we reminisced in our memories we had with him and had a very pleasant and fun day.
It really made me appreciate life, if just for a little while.
I hope y'all also have experiences like this!

Other than sudden cancellations allowing me to do something else that turned out interesting, no. I’d say there are more cases of good things turning bad. Generally, the longer I spend around a group of people the faster they realize I’m not right in the head and they begin gradually ostracizing me. I burn through friendships in about a week or two on average.

Oh wait, there was that time I was r*ped in high school because I can at least say I’m not a virgin and buy unwanted sympathy when I need to feign excuses or get something for free from frigid bureaucratic institutions. I hope it’s grounds for neetbux in the future.

I turned up at a quiz for exchange students randomly. Turned out it was basically an ESOL class and I ended up with team of two Japanese girls. They were the weakest team on points. But since I'm dark skinned, I pretended to be ESOL and helped them win by a landslide and won them a box of chocolates which we shared out with everyone else. I didn't exercise my social skills or make new friends but I'd say it was still a happy result.

 No.21426

Update from OP:
So all of our announcements of the events didn’t even reach the exchange students, that’s why they didn’t show up. After contacting them directly, they actually did show up to our second event, all 9 of them! Surprisingly, all of them were girls, and thankfully they seemed to get along with each other really well. Not a lot of locals attended, but the exchange students seemed to have fun hanging out and going around town afterwards with the few of us.
I honestly wanted to cancel the event beforehand, since it looked like I’d have to run the whole thing myself. It made me nervous. We had a lovely time though, which again showed me not to run away from stuff just because it makes me nervous or uncomfortable. The girls were kind, some other locals showed up and we had a lovely time all in all.

How do I fix my life after years of being a hikkineet? I don't have any marketable skills, no friends, socially incompetent, and incapable of managing my time. I seem to fuck up basic adult life skills and suck at everything. I want to have a job that suits my solitary personality but these offer no opportunities for exploring the world or climbing the social ladder. I don't want to be wasted potential. I want people to talk to and someone to love but I'm too goddamn brain damaged to handle basic social relationships. The fear of failure hangs over me like the sword of Damocles. I feel like I'm fucked.

I get that you have to rationalize it somehow, but contrary to certain modes of belief society tends to give back a lot more to those that give to it, rather than sit and leech.

I want to add a new imageboard to my repertoire. Why should I stay on this board instead of the dozens and dozens of other semi-dead boards out there? I am not even really sure if imageboards are worth it at all right now, since all of them seem to be dying.

i live in the capitol of my state. it's not a big city like those of New York or Chicago but it's the biggest city i've lived in so far. honestly there are both pros and cons and i'm not sure if i could say i love it or hate it necessarily.
pros: much easier to meet new people. i've made tons of friends at the gym and through college or just people who live in my apartment building. lots of types of food. i have cuban, thai, sushi, american diner, ethiopian, mexican, chinese, indian, tons of new things to try and enjoy with my friends. there's also just more to do in general like go-karting, museums, parades, conventions, etc. there's also more job opportunities.
cons: cities are more expensive to live in for sure. went from paying 850$/month for a townhouse to paying 1100$/month for a studio apartment. there's also more crime and homelessness. i'd never had my car broken into or been harassed by the homeless for money before moving to the city. cities also sometimes are loud and smelly depending on the area.
so idk. i don't really regret moving to a city but there are definitely some things i miss about the country and i don't plan on living in the city all my life.

I live in a town within EU, with less than 100k inhabitants. Not much to see here, it's mostly soviet brutalist architecture, a couple classicist buildings from before the war, private residential homes, an industrial zone that's mostly decommissioned and a castle that serves as an university.
I was born here and never left, i think it would be good for me to move to another corner of the planet and start a new life somewhere else at least once in my life. I don't like it here anymore.

>Do you live in a city?
Yep, more of the outskirts because nobody lives downtown here.

>How is that going for you?

Honestly, its not too bad save for some external factors that's not really the fault of the city itself. People can be a bit crazy though but what else is new. Just avoid the bad areas and be safe at night.

Maybe you do live in a city, but you'd rather not?
I'd say city life isn't inherently bad on it's own. I think there is merit to living in a city although where I live its hot and humid year round which does drive me crazy. The relatively few times a year we experience colder weather is nice because we don't have winter craziness but personally, I'd love to see snow even if living in it might be a pain. Nothing feels worse than coming off a comfy 50 degrees Fahrenheit day and suddenly its 80 degrees outside and the most humid its been ever in the winter. The area I live in also has a pretty high homelessness level, especially downtown, which is always sad. I do community volunteer work to help out but the cost of living for this area is bit too high.
