>>76420074 (OP)I was exactly in your position but I was 28. All I did was try every day to provide max value at work (but ensure the necessary people knew I expected something for it), lift weights getting to 1 pl8 ohp, 2 pl8 bench, 3 pl8 dead (which was good for me), and eating so much rice, beans, and chicken that I wanted to iill myself.
Earning more and largely saving it, getting my investments started, yet living as frugally as possible day-to-day, along with being strong and mostly lean (as well as being able to cook) made me confident, self reliant, and not giving a fuck about spending small money on meals with women, etc.
Being 30 ish, for me 32, with a few hundred Gs yet living smallish day-to-day, driving a nice but disposable car, etc, being strong and not worried if a rare-ish night out left me down 300 soibux at a japanese place allowed me to experience many vaginas. One such vagina became my wife eventually. She told me later
>I asked you a bunch of questions and you answered the most ridiculous shit but I knew you were actually telling the truth and that's why I liked youI say swap "telling the truth" with "did not give a single fuck" but the above is what she told me.
I can't stress how important deadlifts are when you're young, being able to understand exactly how much furniture, office shit, etc, you can lift and having good form doing so will save you from athletic-but-I-threw-my-back-out guy who was never the same and got fat. If you build and maintain muscle now through 30 for you, you will only ever really lose 35% of it, meaning even if you fuck up terribly, a good cut brings you home vs having to add muscle at 42 or whatever.
