Damn, I used to follow the BIB log on GLL. I've always wondered what happened to those old school users

[Manganiello]

Goals:
-3 FWBs
-Cut to 165lbs
-10k monthly income (USD) (currently at $5.7k)

I'm here because, at the end of the day, having a forum holding me accountable massively increased my productivity in the past. Looking forward to emotional high of watching those numbers above closing the gap to my goals.

Great to see you here. You were definitely an inspiration for me as I was coming up.

Hello folks.
32 yo guy here from Brazil.
I'm a nerdy guy with passion for computers, games, fine arts and metal. Got a lot of dreams but I'm stumbling a lot in life without being able to find much success.

Had a dozen women in my life, 90% thanks to Tinder and my low bar for women, or just desperation back then. I have a sort of open relationship with a girl because of a mix of my personal issues and her personal issues (distance, family, etc).

My carreer is kinda of a mess, I'm graduated in IT, couldn't keep a job for more than a year and not finding any passion for this profession, currently looking for something else more artistic-oriented that can give me a reason to live and get me out my parent's home.

Hitting the gym consistently but I still eat a lot of crap. My body fat % is still pretty high but I'm focusing on gaining muscle mass primarily by hitting those protein macros.

Right now my main goal is to solve this career issue, really looking for something that could give me money and freedom to manage my daily routines. My old 9/5 jobs didn't left me time to do anything else, no hobby and no gym.

I'm hopeful that with money and a good life balance I can set a lot of other things in my life in motion and raise my self esteem. And I'm also here to be in the company of like minded people who want the best out of their lives, we live only once anyway.

Hello everyone
I, LArcher, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously
About me
26yo recent graduate from Scotland, still living at home with parents.
Goals
Hoping to move out within the coming year and get a job, preferably something that I can do remotely so I can do some travelling since I haven't really done that, oh and I would like to be with a girl since I still haven't done this (without paying) and also get involved in a party scene and build up a proper social circle of high quality people.
I am going to try and get fit as well as develop an actual style and look since I haven't really done this as well as quitting porn.
Unrelated to this, my avatar picture has come out sideways when I uploaded it and I'm not sure how to go about fixing that, if anyone here knows what's up with that, lemme know what to do so you aren't having to tilt your heads everytime you look at my avatar picture.

Yo guys, doubt anyone will read this but here's a brief intro:
I'm George, currently 20, and I have come here for valuable knowledge and insights in terms of dating as well as other aspects of self-improvement. I've got most of my shit together so I'm mainly looking for dating/sex advice at this point but you never know what you might learn along the way.

TLDR: 43 year old divorced guy here getting back in the game….

Goals for 2024:

- Buy completely new wardrobe including accessories following Radical’s style guide. This is priority # 1 as I need the wardrobe before I can upgrade my pics. Looking to be an “age appropriate fuck boy” with modern style and some edge.
- Create 9 kick ass OLD pictures either by getting photos from a professional photographer taken or buying my own DSLR camera and having friends take photos of me following all best practices on KYIL.
- Sign up / update Tinder, Hinge and Bumble profiles
- Buy height increasing shoes and sneakers – I’m only 5’7”.
- Get income up to 200K+ / year USD consistently.
- Get net worth to 1M within 2 years.
- Drop 15 lbs. of body fat to get from approximately 25% bf down to 15% bf. Right now I’m 5’7” 165 lbs.
- Get my ass back in the gym. Focus on hypertrophy and compound movements for muscle growth. Will add some limited bicep, tricep, shoulder and ab work on top of compound movements. I’ve been in and out of gyms my whole life and know what I’m doing. I just have to execute. Will cut first while trying to maintain muscle mass and maybe put on a bit of muscle while cutting. Hopefully will be able to do this since I’m currently de-trained but have the benefit of muscle memory since I’ve been in shape multiple times in the past. Once I cut then I’ll lean bulk.
- Start eating right again. Get my macros dialed in. 1 g protein per 1 lb. body weight. Limit carbs and sugar. Healthy fats. Shit ton of veggies. Maintain consistent daily calorie deficit while cutting.
- Supplements – Protein powder, Vitamin D (low on last blood test), multi vitamin, creatine, will try Kratom.
- Stay away from recreational drugs, cigs, vaping, etc.. Limit alcohol use. I used to party before getting married and have to be mindful of going back to my old ways now that I’m single again.
- Be a good dad to my kids being that I’ll now have 50/50 custody. Don’t be distracted by girls and work during the time I have them. Plan activities and make memories with them when I have them and don’t just sit around the house with them staring at screens.
- Strengthen existing and create new male friend relationships so I have a strong support network and social circle outside of work and dating.
- 24 lays over next 12 months.
- While getting back in shape and upgrading my pics, throw more money at the problem initially (boosts and super likes) since I fortunately worked my ass off and saved and invested throughout my 30’s and early 40’s and have that resource.
- Maintain good sleeping habits and get an adequate amount of sleep (7 – 8 hours).
- Co-parent amicably with ex.
- Possibly get a vasectomy.

My background:

I’m 43 and getting divorced. My stbx wife is basically my girlfriend who I unintentionally got pregnant in late 2012. We were never right for each other to begin with and basically got married and bought a house together since she was pregnant to try and make it work over the last 10+ years. Eventually we both hit our breaking point from being unfulfilled and at each other's throats. We initially formally separated and split assets / finances about 3.5 years ago. She already bought another home at that time, which is temporarily being rented so at this point the divorce is just a matter of filing for a divorce decree and her moving back to her house. I knew our relationship was basically over / on life support years ago and the logistics (housing and finances) which usually is what drag things out have already been taken care of.

We’ve separated and gotten back together multiple times over the last 3.5 years, have tried multiple marriage counselors, etc. I was willing to continue to settle and compromise in our relationship to a large degree to keep our family together. I was willing to sacrifice my happiness for the sake of our kids. I said my vows and had children and I take personal responsibility for those decisions. But ultimately my wife and I can’t re-connect and the arguing and disagreements haven’t subsided. We can't even get to a somewhat peaceful / cordial state. Raising kids under the umbrella of a loveless marriage with lots of tension and frequent fighting is not healthy for them. Not like I woke up one day and said, eh, fuck it, I’m gonna bail on my family to go bang chicks again or anything remotely close to that.

Life lesson: Wrap it up even if your girl is on birth control and don’t ever settle for someone you’re fundamentally not compatible with.

In college and in my 20’s I was all about getting laid but didn’t go about it in a regimented way. I was a frat boy in college. I had varying degrees of success over those years so I’m not new to this lifestyle. Now OLD is more prevalent and I’m thankful I found this site. I’m much wealthier and wiser now than I was when I was in my 20’s and now I have system I can implement so I don’t have to re-invent the wheel. There are still a lot of areas I need to improve in.

Since I’m going to be single anyway and although I’m sure I’m an old head around here, I’m not ancient, so I might as well take advantage of this opportunity. I’m going to get out there and play for the time being. I may eventually get my fill and get this out of my system and settle down with a woman who is right for me. And by maxing my looks and attractiveness and experiencing many women, I’ll have plenty of options, so if/when I do settle down, the woman I chose and who choses me, will be a super high quality woman. Plus I will have done self-improvement which will benefit me in all areas of life.

To my mind, this is fundamentally an exercise in sales and marketing. I’m a professional sales person so I completely understand the concepts of generating leads, conversion ratios, screening / qualifying and being efficient with time. Basically OLD is the marketing platform, the OLD messages and phone texts are “setting the appointment”, and dates are the “sales presentation”. I’m the product and am literally selling myself and it seems like if I’m dialed in in the looks department and screened the girls for ones who are likely DTF I can just be relaxed and be myself and shouldn’t have to run crazy game during the date to get her back to my place.

Seems to me the main goal is look hot as fuck in your pics and in IRL and focus on generating the most leads possible (most matches) and then you can be more direct with girls to screen for ones DTF. The conversion ratio of matches to dates will be lower by screening this way but the conversion ratio of dates to lays will be higher. And if you’re generating lots matches you’ll still have a full schedule of dates any time you want. Whereas if you play the long game with extended messaging and texting and go on multiple dates before making a move the conversion ratio of matches to dates will be higher, but you’ll ultimately get less lays and it will take much more time to get lays. Unless I’m missing something it seems all about the quantity of leads and obviously it takes a lot of hard work, time and dedication (boosting attractiveness) to generate them.

Looking forward to interacting with you guys on here and bouncing ideas and feedback off one another.

If there are any other old heads around these parts that have any advice specific advice for an old man like me going down this road, I’m all ears!

Question, and unsure where to put it, but @MakingAComeback or another @moderator, what happened that KYIL Andy has separated from these forums and it's been removed from the KYIL site (plus the title change)? I figure there's a rationale behind it but don't know where a post explaining it might be.

Andy was always distancing himself from the forums.

But I think now, Andy sees it as a liability. And I'd suspect fearful of a potential 'getting cancelled'. He didn't check the forums much, so he was kind of wide open to something bad happening, as he relied on other people to moderate it.

My interpretation is that Andy more or less wanted to insulate his brand, and didn't care enough to spend time overlooking the forum.
