I was just about to say, get into IT sooner. I have this one cc to pay off, am dating degreed woman who might make me give up #gmb(serious), and my only wish is when the food service shyt was messing with me back in 2013, I would have getten the A+ sooner. It changed my life and it could have done it for me much sooner.
I hope she's a good woman not a sleeper cell demon. Please live with her first before marriage. I have learned that from my simp uncles.

It's funny you strarted this thread right after your last. If I was in my early 20s again, I wish I would have moved out of my folks house sooner. Not even trying to fukk with you, on this post. I still think about sometimes, no joke. You cant start manhood with a clear head living under someone's thumb.
Expand on that since I see people only value your status via money and women as a man.

Focused on college instead of chasing ass. Kept my credit clean. Said hell no to ROTC.

My kid sister showed me how to do it. I should of been like her and gone to med school cuz that girl is printing money now as a surgeon.

I should've also done a semester abroad.

I'm kind of a lazy typist but I will try my best to explain my reasoning in this post. Firstly, I understand that every person's situation is inherently different. What one person may experience, may not hold true for the next. While some parents may maintain patience and support for for their children growing into young adulthood - many may not.

When I was in my late teens and early 20s trying to develop an optimal strategy for a successful life, my parents were very eager to have me leave in any shape possible. For each day I stayed in the family house - many interactions with them were met with some contempt. Didn't matter how helpful or considerate I was. I obeyed all rules given and offered monetary help.

While in the presence of another grown man, one has to lead. In doing so, sometimes a man may feel it necessary to belittle the next or maintain a constant aggressive stance. You really cant learn how to be a man in the world while leaving with another man above you in the same house. Whether this man is your father or anyone else. As a man, your hormones change little by little depending upon how you interact with others. You ever notice how teenage boys purposely take the bass out of their voice when speaking to adults? Your body language and whether you get little boosts in confidence throughout your day, play an impact on your testosterone. If you maintain a meek presence at home and try to be more accommodating by being a softer version of yourself at home - you will take this with you out in the world. The world will then become harder for you. Women will see it, other men will see it, potential employers will see it. Best course of action is to move out as soon as possible and learn how to be a man in the world. Not to mention you will have freedom of thought and freedom of expression. Given the positive attention - this will eventually grow in other areas of your life. Your job, finances, and love life will blossom.

Check out this video and read between the lines of the interview. Do you think this man would have grown to be what we now know him as if he stayed under his parents thumbs and kowtowed every request?



This doesnt mean you dont love them. This is about being a man. Manhood in American culture starts when you leave the nest. Just my two cents

Just focus on the IT shyt. What have you been doing my man?? I thought you were going hard with the IT shyt since last year??

You don’t really need any other advice on what to avoid if you just focus on that.

What do you usually do that would distract you from getting your certs??

Just get started on this IT shyt, work on your game, etc etc.

I know you keep saying you not thinking about women so you can try to sound above it, but it’s ok to lust for women, no need to try to deny it.

Just focus on your IT cert my nikka.

So A+ is the answer?? You’re the only one I really heard of that really took off with it because I asked on here a couple times and others keep saying to skip it because it’s useless n shyt.

I’ve been putting the A+ off because of the negative comments, but your story makes me want to focus on that more than school.

If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't have went to law school, stayed the fukk away from long term relationships and thrown every woman to the bushes at the first sign of emotional blackmail and them being unhappy with themselves. You can't help them grow, they will need to do that for themselves. And most of them will try to prevent you from achieving your potential, because deep down they are afraid you will leave them once you do.

I turn 24 in a week, but I’d probably have taken college more serious and taken that Dave Ramsey financial planning course right once I started working instead of 18 months after working. Would have had a stronger plan with what to do with my money.

Also, applying for my citizenship when it was time. I could have had it by begining of this summer instead of next year.
