So I've started trying to lift again. Strictly cardio doesn't really seem to be doing it for me, I've plateaued hard and if anything I'm starting to go in the other direction weight loss wise.
I need to do better because I'm back on the online dating scene and it's super hard for a guy like me to make any headway there because of what I call Crush Escape Velocity or CEV.
I'm no expert on the opposite sex or dating or romance but I have been doing the online dating thing on and off for probably 7 years or so now, so I've learned a bit about it, and one thing that I've learned is that no woman who is dating online is completely free and available.
I think just about every woman with an online dating profile is pining for someone in their "real" life. So even if they say they're not talking to anyone or that they barely use whatever app you meet them on, you're still always competing against SOMEONE that they've built up in their head. Someone that they're only on this stupid app because that person won't hurry up and date them.
My problem is that I'm just a cool guy. I'm funny but not hilarious, intelligent but not a genius, and kinda cute in a loveable brother way but not sexy or overly attractive in a way that turns heads. Not all of those things are fixable, but the body thing is to a degree, so wish me luck. So far I got out there and did my chest ONCE and totally obliterated my tendons in my elbow so, I switched to legs the following night.
Here's hoping it's enough to get me back on the right track and losing more weight.
