Value Chad

I’m back bitches

@aruvinchan My counterpoint to all this is Trump. He knows Melania is in it for the money, he just doesn’t care and cheats repeatedly even at 80 years of age. Now if you’re not sociopathic, yes, desire matters. Most guys are sensitive and I would include myself

You can't expect genuine desire from a 8, 9, or 10. Genuine desire, by definition, only exists if she's dating up LOOKS-WISE. (Your money is no good here, because "genuine" and "money" don't belong in the same sentence.) At that level of looks (8 and above), there's nobody who's above her -- at best, you're just lateral or equal to her. Which means that these hotties are dead-inside and already resigned to just selling themselves to the highest bidder. They're NOT capable of having genuine desire for anyone, they don't care who the fuck you are. You can be Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Timothee Chalamet, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady, Kaka, etc. It doesn't matter who the fuck you are. All of them are in business; none of them are in it for the love of the game. It's not a coincidence that genuine desire only exists among the 4-7s. And that necessitates that you're still at least 1-2 points above her on the looks scale. If you're her looksmatch, or worse below her looksmatch, you're simping for sure. And she will tolerate you at best and resent you at worst. If you're still arguing with me that "genuine desire" is gay and optional, I'll leave you with a couple of screenshots from my last newsletter on genuine desire:

@ChadGPT_Chadbot @Degen_CPA

@Degen_CPA It’s really unbecoming when men admit they value appearance over performance.

If youre training to compete in powerlifting or weightlifting, you should stop immediately. Becoming as aesthetic as you can be has much higher benefits. I competed in powerlifting mainly, with this being over 10 years. Noone cares how much you squat, at all, theres no money in it. If youre putting in al lthis effort, you should be training for aesthetics, being lean 12% bf, and still muscular in an aesthetic way, will have much higher benefits than you try to competition max for a "sport" no one cares about.

@MarysRoommate @Degen_CPA I hear this argument a lot but it just really isn’t a lot of fun to be fat and cutting for 2/3 of the year. I was in the 1000 lb club at one point but I was fluffy. Let’s be honest not a single chick cares that you’re in the 1000 lb club, they swoon for an athletic twink with abs

@Degen_CPA yeah but lifting heavy in the compound movements is how you get muscular in an aesthetic way. the rest is is just cutting to 12% which you can do later

@shortbusmenace @Degen_CPA They used to call this “swinging” you don’t hear that term much anymore but the same concept, my grandparents did it from what I heard lol this is not a new concept

@Degen_CPA i love when they discover multiple thousand year old concepts and throw word salad on top of it when a few words could have done the trick

@zoecabina It’s common in Hollywood, unknown young actor gets with older established actress. (Hemsworth, Mamoa, etc) He gets her money and connections while she appears more vibrant and marketable with a younger guy on her arm. Not a mystery

Yes this is an interesting one. It's pretty rare, but it does happen, and ngl, my first instinct (and I think lots of people's) is usually that there must be something wrong with the guy. Hugh Jackman and his (now ex) wife come to mind. She's not a bad looking woman at all, but she is 13 years older and Hugh could have had a much better looking, younger woman if he wanted, but he chose her. I think this fuelled the rumours that he was gay 🤷‍♀️

@Degen_CPA @maxtoscano1 @DeanTTraining I weigh less than 150 after a cut at 5’9 lol, need to be down into 140s to see serious ab definition. Yes I could stand to put on more muscle but at this point I’d rather just not be fat for most of the year

@maxtoscano1 @DeanTTraining not surprising at all. every once in a while i legit get embarassed on how light i am

EVERYONE is fatter than they think they are

@Degen_CPA Then you look at who sent it

Got a rose on hinge

@HarrisonKrank Harrison, its a television program…I advise turning off the boob tube and getting out into the real world

If you want to get a glimpse into how bad modern dating culture has gotten. 22 men are about to compete on national television for the chance to marry a single mom of 3 who cheated on her previous husband and has an open domestic assault case against her.

@champtgram It’s completely performative nonsense for social media , I did the digital nomad thing for two years and my workday was spent at my Airbnb in an office chair, I also traveled with a second screen and other productivity tools that spread across the whole desk/table

anyone who has travelled a lot knows that even though pics like this look cool, trying to half-work on your laptop in places like this absolutely fucking sucks and you’d be better off just enjoying yourself

@davidsenra @pmarca The one thing that the greats have in common is a “bias towards action” as Bezos said. Doesnt mean they lack introspection, quite the contrary in some cases. But it does mean that they tend to make decisions quickly and act on them, not sit around with their thumb up their ass

Great men of history had little to no introspection. The personality that builds empires is not the same personality that sits around quietly questioning itself. @pmarca and I discuss what we both noticed but no one talks about: David: You don't have any levels of introspection? Marc: Yes, zero. As little as possible. David: Why? Marc: Move forward. Go! I found people who dwell in the past get stuck in the past. It's a real problem and it's a problem at work and it's a problem at home. David: So I've read 400 biographies of history’s greatest entrepreneurs and someone asked me what the most surprising thing I’ve learned from this was [and I answered] they have little or zero introspection. Sam Walton didn't wake up thinking about his internal self. He just woke up and was like: I like building Walmart. I'm going to keep building Walmart. I'm going to make more Walmarts. And he just kept doing it over and over again. Marc: If you go back 400 years ago it never would've occurred to anybody to be introspective. All of the modern conceptions around introspection and therapy, and all the things that kind of result from that are, a kind of a manufacture of the 1910s, 1920s. Great men of history didn't sit around doing this stuff. The individual runs and does all these things and builds things and builds empires and builds companies and builds technology. And then this kind of this kind of guilt based whammy kind of showed up from Europe. A lot of it from Vienna in 1910, 1920s, Freud and all that entire movement. And kind of turned all that inward and basically said, okay, now we need to basically second guess the individual. We need to criticize the individual. The individual needs to self criticize. The individual needs to feel guilt, needs to look backwards, needs to dwell in the past. It never resonated with me.

@sethbannon @davidsenra @pmarca Buffett ruminates on his errors without living in the past, he’s definitely a look forward kind of guy. I’ll be generous and assume that’s what Andreessen was trying to articulate though I suspect he just likes the smell of his own farts

"Great men of history had little to no introspection." Actually there are several counter examples. Rockefeller was deeply introspective. He writes about this in "Random Reminiscences". He would nightly tell himself not to become arrogant and would try to analyze his mind to make sure his intentions were pure. He would talk to himself at night warning himself not to “lose your head” and to “go steady". He called them “intimate conversations with myself” -- that's introspection if anything is! Carnegie too. In "Gospel of Wealth" he published memos he wrote to himself of the risk that the more money he made, the more morally poor he might become. In his autobiography he reflects on his failures as a leader when he was younger too. Lots of introspection. Warren Buffet is also deeply introspective. He consistently defines strategy in terms of self-knowledge. He analyses his own intellectual shortcomings and strengths and uses that to guide what he does / does not do in business. Jobs (after getting fired from Apple) was also deeply introspective. He talked a lot about how getting fired made him "less sure about everything". He then discovered the importance of leaning into what he called "your own inner voice" and was focused on paying attention to what his "heart" was telling him. Not a businessman but nobody would argue Benjamin Franklin was not a great man. And he actually built an entire life philosophy around introspection and self-improvement. Franklin, Edison, and Ford all literally journaled! Carnegie would write private memos to himself. Just a few examples!

@Degen_CPA @Pat_Stedman I frequented the red pill forums 10 years ago, back then it was very solutions oriented. Lots of actionable no nonsense advice. Over the years that disappeared and now it’s mostly just whinging. That’s why I kinda like this clavicular kid, at least he’s DOING things to improve

@Pat_Stedman All the time. It’s always a blame game for them, and never any self reflection to realize they are the problem, or do they put in any work to improve. It’s just easier to yell “women are bad” over and over again.

Red pill guys will spend all day claiming feminism sold women a lie & made them miserable, & then be completely oblivious to the fact that their own brains are being cooked by nihilistic slop on here Haven't you noticed the guys telling you "all women are trash" are never happy?

@83dollaroring My retired marine corps fighter pilot uncle is a Harvard grad, can confirm

america has a petty nobility class comprised of high-skilled technical workers and thinkers and this is blatantly obvious to anybody who’s ever met the family of a fighter pilot

@dan10017 @Degen_CPA Idk , that’s why it’s a question. I suspect that like most things woman it depends on her interest level, but there’s no denying that logistics plays a role in hooking up from bars and dates, <15 min away via car is ideal. My now gf used to drive 40 min for sex and go back home…

@valuechad @Degen_CPA What really hot girl who lives in Manhattan would want to go to Queens for a shag? Very Very few

How do people afford to live in NYC? 5k for a 1 bedroom is a lot. I have a good job and make money on the side. I should feel like I’m rich but I don’t. I feel normal.

@Degen_CPA @SainTiago1948 Most of these people are wantrepreneurs who jerk it to the idea of making money while answering to nobody. At the end of the day you’re always accountable to someone because the money has to come from somewhere, whether it’s the customer or the payroll department.

@SainTiago1948 Most people who hate on corporate jobs are like young 20 dudes that don’t know how hard starting a business actually is. Theres a very high chance I could never start a business myself to make the same money I’m making

Office jobs are funny because you could be making $200k with job security and wfh 4 days a week.

@deux_ex_max @Degen_CPA Well imo there’s no shame in sucking as much money out of an evil bumbling corporation as you can. Most companies disappear within 20-30 years so in the overall course of humanity who really cares

@Degen_CPA It's that you're mostly useless parasites is why we don't like you. That's why white collar jobs can afford luxury beliefs like DEI and diversity, because outside a few niche areas (e.g., research, engineering) the work just isn't that hard.

People will hate on office jobs then beg you to sign up to their news letter about how to be an alpha male.

@Degen_CPA The great thing about my 100% wfh corporate job is that unbeknownst to anyone AI does most of it. Now I have ample time to invest and work on other ventures

@worldranking_ Not gonna happen, that would be a major deescalation of the war!

There’s a type of poster here who does nothing but try to hate on people, literally all their posts are hate. No one happy with their life does this, it’s sad to see, and I legit feel bad for them
