[DrJre]

I, DrJre, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.

Background
I've been in a relationship since high school for 18 years, married for 7, now with 2 kids.
Wife cheated on me multiple times and I was devastated emotionally this year. I'm currently in the final stages of filing for divorce but the lawyer says with COVID it takes 5-6 months before it gets put through to the courts with the backlog.
Minimal social life outside of my immediate family and caring for my kids. Post divorce I'll have the kids 50/50
Got a good career as a physician so hopefully finances won't be an issue

Goals
1. Cut. I've been lifting in the gym casually but have not stuck to a cut. I'm 5'9" 194 lbs currently and want to get back to my college weight of 176lbs. If I want a visible six pack I'm assuming I might need to cut down more but will reevaluate once I reach my goal weight.
2. Get good pics in anticipation for once I divorce and then go on the dating apps. I plan to work on my dating game as I haven't dated anyone ever outside of my soon to be ex wife.
3. Get at least 12 dates from July to December (I'm assuming my divorce finalizes in June). Add to my lay count

[That1Guy]

I, That1Guy, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.

About me:
Long time listener, first time caller. About time I said hello. Stumbled upon the Tinder guide somewhere before mid-2020, never saw OLD laid out so raw before so bookmarked it and kept coming back.

Work as an industrial engineer in microelectronics manufacturing.

Primary goal for 2022:
Get laid, lose virginity (yeah there's a lot to unpack here at another time)
--Stretch FFM
Sub goals to enable the above:
-Improve confidence in the context of physical escalation (it's been bad)
-Work through my internal mental roadblocks from the lack of self confidence and religious conditioning (been an atheist for over a decade)
-Continue lean bulking muscle mass
-Get to 16% BF (Currently at 20.5% though I'm down to 153 lbs from 215 lbs)
--Stretch 14% BF
-Continue to improve style (having all your clothes not fit anymore is a great kick to do this)
-Continue crushing it at work to enable telework so I can continue to live in an urban area
--Stretch is to get an in-line promotion to senior but I don't think it's the right place for my time right now, can probably table it for next year
-Go on 1-2 dates per week

Other "fun" goals for 2022:
-start working on freestyle/park riding in snowboarding
-get out of my apartment at least twice a week for something social (thanks COVID)
-try my hand at standup comedy at an open mic

[BattleCat]

New year - new goals. Long time lurker and big fan of Andys way to approach things.

At first I am going to get bag in shape, and once I am into this rhytm again I will start AA-program and start hitting on girls in real life - and not depending on online dating, which previously has given a lot of lays.

Im thinking of quitting alcohol for good - it is setting me back and takes away my energy, but it is also a very big social thing for me, because my frineds invites me to a lot of social settings, where alcohol is included.

I am 36 and from Scandinavia - and want to be more engaged in this forum.

[NoDepresso]

I, NoDepresso, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.

Been reading about self improvement for over a year now, it's time to take action instead of just reading about it.

Top priority goals:

• Make new quality friends

• Create online dating profile

• Gain more muscle

I, Colossus, commit to working on my goals and taking myself seriously.

Morning gentlemen.

I'm a long time follower of the self improvement that Chris and co ran when it was a thing.

Despite big advancements I have hit a major plateau. Wheels are spinning without much clear direction and it's started to eat at my soul.

Goals for 2022:
1. Be the best partner and man I can be
2. Work up to making $100/month from online income
3. Break social media, phone, porn, and fap habits
4. Root out my issues surrounding women, validation, and relationships
5. Work up to maximum truthfulness in every aspect of life
6. Add a couple KGs of muscle and develop aptitude in combat sports

I've done pretty good with girls. Decent looking, 6'2, lost virginity at 16, had more than 5 serious girlfriends (over 1 year), multiple shorter term girlfriends, fucked over 30 girls - 15 of them being what I consider very hot, dated multiple girls at once, BDSM scene, all that shit. Swung in recent years to dating real high quality girls and enjoying our time together before meeting the current girl.

Thank you Andy for the forum. It seems like a community of men growing together.

Hey guys I'm a long term reader of GLL (starting from 2015) and taking consistent action over the last 6.5 years has led to significant changes in the trajectory of my life. This includes girls, social life, career and my overall lifestyle.

I am looking to continue the momentum gained so far to push myself to higher heights and become an overall better man. My main goals for 2022 are:

1. Comfortably liveable monthly income through freelancing + my e-commerce store
2. 18 Lays (day, night, online + social circle)
3. Start training MMA/KM consistently at least 2x week
