How old are you and what are your plans for your life?

    I'm in my early 30's and don't plan on getting married, don't plan on having children, and have no fucking idea what I'm going to do in my life. Although, once I find a better paying job, I'm going to quit drinking again, and do nothing but learning about electronics/programming/hacking. I've taken a break from it for a while but I'm going to leap back in soon.

    What's your general age, what do you plan to do long term in life, and what do you plan to do short term.

    I urge everyone to read these:

    http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/09/02/love-is-all-you-need-insights-from-the-longest-longitudinal-study-on-men-ever-conducted/

    http://www.amazon.com/The-Defining-Decade-Twenties-Matter-And/dp/0446561754

    They're good and easy to get through, fun and fascinating reads.

    Dead serious, this isn't one of those random book recommendations, something from people who repeatedly claim something "changed their life", these are probably the most important things you could read.

    'art of manliness' sounds like something lanny would have bookmarked as 'tasteful gay porn'

    I always thought you were younger than me SBT, I'm late 20s and struggling to find something I care about

    Lol, believe it or not I'm actually familiar with "art of manliness", and while tasteful might not be the term I'd use it certainly is geared towards faggots.

    The grant study is certainly interesting although it has its share of flaws. I will say the whole "bringing manly back" or "gentleman's movement" thing is not only cuckfodder but really really pathetic. I fall, in a very general sense, into the post-structuralist camp and generally consider the phenomenon of "manliness" and especially our cultural notions of the man/boy distinction to be archaic and generally harmful. But even if I didn't think that, the idea that people with penises in 2015 need some 50s themed self-help website telling them to keep journals and how to "groom" themselves is so cringeworthy, so fucking dickless, that I want to grab the author of these things by the shoulders and scream "FUCKING PUSSY" in their face until they're dripping with my saliva and then kick them in the nuts they don't actually seem to have.

    The site actually has the best summary on it I've found, surprisingly. I don't read the site, it just came up in the search results. I say this because you wouldn't expect it from the name. In this instance it really isn't line with that general style at all.

    Would that make you feel like a man?

    No, but it would be mildly sexually satisfying. I might get hard.

    so OT I guess, I'm 22, I don't have any particular plans besides trying to find interesting work and getting as good as I can at what I do. My only real goals are to do novel research again at some point and donate a little more but both those are kinda nebulous, no real timeframe. I guess living a long time in relatively good health is an ambition as well.

    late 20's, ex military and in college. going to become an engineer to make that $$$

    and because there is literally no point to life other than to live it, and understanding the people and world around you give you a huge advantage. but people are hard and inconsistent and i can only be so good with them, but science just is, so if you put in a little work you can get like +5 to all your attributes

    I'm 27 years old. Currently in "drug court" until April of next year. I own my own business so money/career isn't a problem but I'm just going to jump through the hoops until I "graduate" the program. After that I'll just be getting nice outside so I plan to build a farmhouse so far away from civilization that even helicopters can't get to it and just sit back and collect money. I've been driven to being a hermit at this point.

    lol. i said that specifically to get on your nerves lanny. i actually could give a fuck about the money other than the security it brings. its mainly for personal reasons. i dont have a specific interest or obsession with science, but i do like learning things and i think its cool to learn about science. theres nothing else to do with life anyways.

    like, if i dont go to school, im just gonna sti around and be a deadbeat, you know? its not like im abandoning a dream careeer or something for the money

    The first link is all about a happy healthy family, the second is about your twenties. I am no longer in my twenties and I'm from a shitty family. My highlights in my twenties were crime and being parasetic. I have had 0 long-term relationships in my life, so I'm from one of those "loveless" families they speak of in your first link.

    Not just about family, but the importance of relationships, as much as many of us may be resistant to accepting. The second book is still well worth reading even if you're no longer in your 20s.

    I've been driven to being a hermit at this point.

    Don't do it, the effects of social isolation are disastrous. It may take years, but eventually it will probably happen, or at least you'll look back with regret at your life and realize how you really feel.

    I'm 18, and just like any other young adult. I will take my SAT, then go to college, then get a job, then marry someone, then have kids.
