i would say perhaps if you want your work outs to go into full effect then you should also focus a bit more on your diet as well, obviously has nothing to do with social interaction but you don't regard yourself has the most attractive (which obviously isn't true), it will provide maximum efficiency to what you're doing


I agree a lot with the diet from the health perspective. My idol in recent months has been Steve Nash who realized he needed to really treat his body like a temple in order to stay at peak performance for as long as he could, and I've been applying that attitude more and watching what/how I eat and making sure to keep myself in top shape.


I agree, i think personally for you, you should focus on bulking or eating at regular intervals if your bowel movements aren't regular. I don't think you need too much cardio either, if you want i've got a fantastic guide on how to do this, you can pm me if you want one.

Get into working out, you'll make a lot of friends in the gym


I work out pretty frequently but nobody really socializes there in my uni, I've been trying to get a workout group together but it's really hard as everyone has different schedules and typically wants to do different routines.


Do it anyway, people will approach you for help eventually and will start to look up to you

As a general rule for dating I think being confident in your own skin and actually listening to what they are saying is important.

Honestly, you should make sure to only go on outing with people who you actually like (like don't try to have friends for the sake of having friends because you won't enjoy it and they won't enjoy being around you as much) and make sure the outing is something you actually want to do because then you will enjoy it and tend to be more confident and friendly.

You seem like a nice person, and it's a lot harder to become a nice person than it is to become confident. It seems like your biggest problem is that you don't FEEL like you fit in.

What kind of things do you enjoy doing? Do you like any sports? play a musical instrument?

FYI it's perfectly fine to not enjoy things like clubbing and drinking. It's not for everyone.

this isn't true but you can probably get buff and use that to your advantage


Over time, you do make friends in your gym, at least that was the case for me and some of my buddies. But yeah, getting ripped will bring you tons of confidence and some people will start to automatically respect you

tatami my pal have you considered EDATING!? i think u might be a good candidate.


Pretty much all I've had success with but I'm not really interested in that at this point, all of my friends really to this point have been on EM and I don't want it to stay that way forever.

playing sports or doing drugs are the number one ways to get friends. each fosters a sort of brotherhood. either that or maybe be a nerd and everyone thinks ur a nerd and u got spirit of shared suffering with other nerds lol.

after that, with girls, it's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCYwcObxl78

Don't encourage Empire to be a stoner!!!

I row dragonboat still so I do do sports.

I don't really like drugs, I'm not down to get arrested or poison my body.
