A phrase to erase from your vocabulary

Roseburn · 2015-01-16T04:15:51+00:00

every moment counts, and guess what, jack? Once those moments are gone, they're gone for good.

This hit me. You're damn right. I needed this post.

OneTouchHowMuch · 2015-01-16T07:46:46+00:00

Take your hands off your cock and go do twenty push-ups right now.

Did just that and feels great. Just closed the porn I was about to watch and getting off reddit after this post to go read a book.

Thank you. You da real MVP.

PS: (How did you know my hand was on my cock?)

flexiblehold · 2015-01-16T06:17:48+00:00

Let's add "You won't believe what she..."

projectself · 2015-01-16T04:34:58+00:00

also, anytime you here the words "I'm bored" from a woman, the correct reply is "time for bed".

juanqunt · 2015-01-16T13:58:43+00:00

I'd like to play devil's advocate here.

You can be bored. Bored of being with a boring woman or working a minimum wage job... But the solution there is not to just complain about being bored. Being bored of them means that you have a ton of more interesting stuff that I'd rather be doing.

fliphopanonymous · 2015-01-16T17:51:19+00:00

A quote from on of my favorite books:

HUMAN BEINGS MAKE LIFE SO INTERESTING. DO YOU KNOW, THAT IN A UNIVERSE SO FULL OF WONDERS, THEY HAVE MANAGED TO INVENT BOREDOM.

should_ · 2015-01-16T15:30:16+00:00

Nah, things are not just white or black.

For example: right now, I must complete a task, really repetitive and BORING, for my job.

I can't just quit my job in the name of tasks like this, because I love my job. So yeah, I'm bored of doing this, but it is just a moment.

Right now I can get creative nor motivated, I just must do this thing. And yes, I'm bored.

asd1100 · 2015-01-16T06:54:54+00:00

What I hear when someone says "I'm bored"

You are a spoiled dopamine junkie. Used to stimulation being externally created and provided by others. You are always dependent on others, you are at best a accessory to the life of others and not even a useful one. You are usually a emotional black hole, spewing negativity and ruining the dynamic for others. But because you live in the modern world you are oblivious to all of this because you think you are great, why wouldn't you nobody even bothers to tell you the truth for fear of not being "that guy".

TLDR: if you bitch about being bored you are just a unfuckable woman.

Fetish_Goth · 2015-01-18T17:58:43+00:00

I can do 35 push ups, but if I want to jerk off, I'll jerk off. There is a reason men get high, jerk off, and play video games. It's not always because they're lazy. Men are opting out of the bullshit and living for themselves. Most men don't need a ton of things to be happy. For some, it's games, for some it's motorcycles, for some it's lifting, for some it's all 3. Regardless, they don't see a point in living their lives with the purpose of making women (and the feminized PC culture club) happy.

Subhazard · 2015-01-16T04:51:46+00:00

Unless you're stuck in a holding pattern at work and there's literally nothing else for you to do.

But, yeah, I get it.

Logseman · 2015-01-16T08:31:54+00:00

It is only a warped conception of the human mind that wants to suppress one of its autonomous defense mechanisms.

Archeoleon · 2015-01-16T12:24:24+00:00

I agree with your point and have taken that exact stance on my approach to life.

There are a few phrases that I have eliminated from my life "I'm bored/ I can't/I don't know."

There is always something you can be doing, therefore you should never be bored.
Many things in life are difficult, but with an intense amount of work you can achieve almost anything. For the things that are impossible, work on building something that will make them possible. Remember, at one point in time we couldn't fly, breathe underwater, or reach the moon.
I don't know was removed from my vocabulary for me when I entered the military. Saying it simply shows laziness as you are accepting your lack of knowledge as an acceptable response to someone. I have replaced I don't know with I will find out for you

I have passed all of this down to my kids. When I hear someone say any of these, whether they are friend or family, I will interject.

We all need to raise our standard and expect a little more from ourselves and those around us.

Khr0nus · 2015-01-16T13:07:00+00:00

My grandmother used to say "Only idiots get bored"

thebadmanpuntdbaxter · 2015-01-16T13:40:14+00:00

"I'm sorry" is a big do not say for me.

Christ, as a professional I almost hate hearing it more. Dont ask for forgiveness or sympathy. Make it clear that your actions were intentional and defend them, or make it clear that you will not make the same mistake twice

RedPillSafe · 2015-01-16T13:46:04+00:00

Women do get bored when their hamster loop settles down and they have no more need for adjustments to their reality. That's why they like us because we spin their hamster wheel.

But men?

No man ever gets bored.

We have an infinite number of ways to improve ourselves.

asimplescribe · 2015-01-16T12:06:01+00:00

"Boredom does not exist. It's your brain telling you to find something to do"

Sounds like it exists then.

Do we really need to have circle jerk posts like this about motivation?

robotghow · 2015-01-16T03:37:20+00:00

I don't think I've ever been bored in my entire life. I firmly believe that only stupid people can be bored. You have a limitless brain that can think of limitless ideas. I can sit down and quite literally entertain myself for hours with my own thoughts independent of outside influence. If you can't I think it's a problem.

"I'm bored" has always struck me as a red flag statement from anyone, male or female.

Red_Invictus · 2015-01-16T05:55:49+00:00

An educated man can always entertain himself. An educated man can also entertain others. And, an educated man can entertain new ideas. "The educated man is able to lose himself in a task, a hobby, a conversation, or a book because he has developed his powers of focus and concentration."

I'm straight up copy/pasting/paraphrasing from one of my favorite articles from AoM here, but if anyone would like to read more on this subject, here it is; http://www.artofmanliness.com/2011/10/30/the-3-characteristics-of-an-educated-man/

Also, it is literally impossible for the human brain to stop thinking about something until you're fucking dead. Boredom really is just a massive combination of factors that primarily boil down to being unhappy with and incapable/unwilling to change your situation.

j3igboss · 2015-01-16T13:59:35+00:00

My mother always told me: only boring people get bored

gnt_1 · 2015-01-16T14:14:55+00:00

What do if I'm never bored and actually it's the opposite to the point where I don't even have time for women?

HerculestheRed · 2015-01-16T16:26:10+00:00

Women, betas and children get bored because entertainment is not a tertiary concern for them. Men don't have a chance to get bored.

Men have shit to do. Get it done, son.

2015-01-16T16:42:23+00:00

What about when your stuck doing something you consider boring but still requires your full focus or you did not prepare for downtime that is unavoidable, such as a traffic jam. I think walking is boring thus I'm bored when walking but I'm doing the thing you said to do instead of being bored.

I guess it really depends on if you think boredom can only occur when you think you have nothing to do. Also you come across as a narrow minded dick.

blacwidonsfw · 2015-01-16T16:51:18+00:00

Also "I'm tired". Hate when people say that. Then go to sleep bitch!

MentORPHEUS · 2015-01-16T16:52:02+00:00

"I'm bored."

No, you are BORING! A man should get up and do something without saying this. When a woman says this, it's attention and validation seeking behavior; they want a man to get up and do something FOR THEM.

2015-01-16T18:00:34+00:00

A man who picks up a cat by the tail learns something which cannot be learned any other way.

Same with boredom.

ROIVeritas · 2015-01-16T19:48:40+00:00

Time is the money of life. And I don't intend on wasting it, mine or anyone else's.

Taymanners · 2015-01-17T02:39:06+00:00

Instead of 20 push-ups I did 100. I needed this post op, thank you.

Postboned · 2015-04-19T16:59:13+00:00

Moments like these is why I love this subreddit at times. There are a lot of immoral and stupid shit that I read and throw aside, but posts like these will make you more of a man than any "how2getlaidEZ" ever would. Like a stern, fatherly, tough-love figure that I never had.

This is why I love the Internet. Thank you.

GayLubeOil · 2015-01-16T08:49:09+00:00

All you fucks love fisting yourselves to the idea of lifting. Here's a thought: your lifting wrong. You have no idea what the fuck your doing. Take of your fedora right now. Put down the cheetos and wash that red shit off your hands. Great. Now take of your shirt and flex in front of the mirror. Why? Alright now do the Most Muscular pose. That tension in the chest you're feeling is the same tension you should feel on flies and dips.Allright now do Back Double Bicep and then Lat Spread. That tension you feel is what you should feel on all back movements. Your muscles need to be engaged when you're lifting in the same way than when your are flexing. Most people dont do this. Most people suck horse cock at lifting. Dont suck horse cock. Engage your muscles when you lift. Feel the blood enter your muscles on ever rep. Dont move weight. Engage muscle. Fuck you for sucking horse cock.

SuperNinKenDo · 2015-01-16T08:48:16+00:00

Typing this while I'm listening to Japanese sentences to improve my listening ability. Not a second wasted.

nigmondo · 2015-01-16T13:35:03+00:00

Fucking apt post as I can't stand people who say they are bored. Honestly can say I haven't even thought about being bored in about 20 years, since I was a teenager. Just not enough hours in the day to pursue all my hobbies and past times.

Get off your ass and engage your brain and boredom will never be a trouble to you

2015-01-16T16:42:10+00:00

Boredom is a symptom of lack of ambition. If you're a man with a mission you don't have time or energy to waste. Have a fucking mission in your life. Make your stamp on the world and leave us all the better for it.

dicklord_airplane · 2015-01-16T17:01:48+00:00

that old Harvey Dangerfield song Flagpole Sitta had a good lyric on this subject, and it stuck with me ever since:

i hear the voices in my head and i swear to god it sounds like they're snoring.

BUT IF YOU'RE BORED, THEN YOURE BORING!

THE AGONY AND THE IRONY, IT'S KILLING ME, WHOA!

it's your job to provide energy, fun, and value. if you aren't, then you're probably leaching it off of others. the phrase "i'm bored" should always be immediately followed by a suggestion to rectify the boredom.

brianjamesxx · 2015-01-16T17:21:33+00:00

I know those types of people that can't be indoors for more than 5 minutes without complaining about being bored and needing to be outside somewhere doing something. Total F.O.M.O. complex. I can't even fathom.

2015-01-16T17:25:45+00:00

Being bored itself is not bad. I listened to NPR recently where they were discussing studies on creativity resulting after spouts of being bored and not. They found that boredom leads to more creativity. The issue is not filling boredom with trash like gaming or browsing on your phone 24/7.

Newton wrote the Principles of Science while school was out, bored, because of the plague.

ToonTheShed · 2015-01-16T17:40:52+00:00

Recently I've been trying to be bored on purpose. I'll go out into my living room when no one is home and just sit there for like 20 minutes straight. No phone, no TV, nothing. Just sit. It's actually more difficult than it sounds. It's like a more boring version of meditating, which I'm also starting to do.

I do this in an attempt to unplug my brain from the auto-pilot of internet/facebook/videos/food/phone/etc... Just take a bit out of the day to reclaim my attention span and think about how I'd like to spend the rest of my day in a productive way.

brianjamesxx · 2015-01-16T18:53:51+00:00

Speaking of being bored, here's the latest from AskWomen https://archive.today/719Jj

EveningMind · 2015-01-16T21:05:57+00:00

Awesome post. I'd add this too re: the feeling you get when you're doing something, but you still feel bored. I get that all the time and it's the most miserable feeling, but it's a way to see that maybe you are just doing the wrong thing. I don't know where I found this, but it's a really good bit:

Don't waste your time on useless work, mere busywork, the barren pursuits of darkness. Expose these things for the sham they are. It's a scandal when people waste their lives on things they must do in the darkness where no one will see. Wake up from your sleep, climb out of your coffins. Watch your step. Use your head. Make the most of every chance you get. These are desperate times! Don't live carelessly, unthinkingly.

RICCIedm · 2015-01-16T22:45:13+00:00

It feels great to not have one minute of spare time on my day. Thanks TRP! -cooking -learning how to speak german -working -reading TRP -meditatin -tanning -working out

T-bear96 · 2015-01-16T22:46:06+00:00

There's a saying, "if you're bored; you're boring."

Mightyskunk · 2015-01-17T07:00:13+00:00

Any time anyone tells me they're bored I tell them the same thing.

You're not bored. You're boring. Be fun and you'll feel better.

sexymonkeysgoMOO · 2015-01-19T19:00:46+00:00

Thank you for posting this. This was wonderfully useful to me.

saddestgiraffe · 2015-01-16T20:21:22+00:00

Another phrase to erase from you're vocabulary: 'I can't'.

Anonymous462 · 2015-01-16T15:07:10+00:00

The time you spent writing this could've been spent cranking out a few quick pull-ups/dips.

Jackytheman58 · 2015-01-16T15:20:08+00:00

Read this while taking a shit in the gym, more pumped now.

Titanstone · 2015-01-16T16:56:26+00:00

Lol do these posts come out of a template. Throw in some cursing, the term "beta", use the words value and society, talk about lifting, and talk about how "Xbox" or "getting high" is for pussies only. Am I the only one who not only finds these threads useless, but hilariously ironic? I could have done dips while reading this? Wtf did you think you were doing while writing this? Did you do it during your rest period between sets? Boredom does not exist? Guess neither does anger or sadness then. Emotional abstinence is a terrible idea.

Also to these people who have posted "Boring people are the only ones who get bored", please throw that main stream garbage back in the trash can where it belongs. Those two things have no correlation. In fact, the people who are mostly likely to get bored are those who have exciting lives and a lot of options. What they choose to do about it is what makes them better than the rest.

Circle jerk all you want on some stock motivational therapy, but this stuff has nothing to do with red pill other than never complain. Down vote away.

leftajar · 2015-01-16T18:57:02+00:00

Guys, stop masturbating.

I'm not going to go all foo-foo nofap on you and talk about superpowers. It's about boredom. That's why you're bored; you're drained of semen and have no physical energy.

Cut that shit out. Once a week max.

GunsGermsAndSteel · 2015-01-16T17:45:22+00:00

I did exactly what the post says. 20 push-ups the moment I finished reading it.

2015-01-16T18:20:12+00:00

Well I'm taking a shit right now so I don't feel like I'm wasting time

2015-01-17T12:19:57+00:00

Let's get one thing straight, you aren't bored of something, you are bored with something

jtkills · 2015-01-16T14:31:58+00:00

Unless you are actively doing something at all times OP, you're a hypocrite. Is wanting to sit on the couch and relax after a 12 hour shift at a factory job lazy? If i'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic, bored, does that make me lazy?

"The time you spend reading this could've been spent cranking out a few pull-ups..." I get the message you're trying to convey here, OP, but there's two things wrong with that sentence, 1) The time you spent typing this you could have not posted to a public forum on reddit and "cranked out" a few pull-ups yourself. 2) Trying to convince other redditors that being "bored" isn't an option, while your happy ass is posting to reddit about how people should be more productive in their endeavors. Why? You have nothing better to do, BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING BORED.

Being motivated and self-riteous can be a great thing, don't get me wrong, but having those two traits can also be a VERY slippery slope. Especially while preaching your thoughts online.

Also, a little tip of advice for you, if you want to motivate people to feel the way you do, try to be less condescending.

oh, and describing people as "Beta" just because some people have actually exhausted most of their options and worked hard all day and got a teensy-bit bored isn't going to get you the best responses.

Have a good day.
