Go to party every day. Use all the drugs. Fuck everyone you can (that consents).

I'd say from an introverted perspective: you don't have to go to every party just because you were invited. You can just say no to a drug offer if you don't want it, people are usually just like "no prob dude, more for me"

ITT 40 yesr olds tell you to put 10% of your non-existent savings on retirement funds. Good sdvice tbh but they failed to account for landlords and shit

The starting gun has already fired. Don't be idle and wait for life to come to you, you need to go get it!

The old don't stick your dick in crazy is actually good advice but also, unwanted pregnancy can change your life in s very negative way.

The sex in your imagination is never going to live up to reality. Porn and even just popular culture paints a picture that's impractical irl.

Which part of the picture you are talking about is impractical?

Whatever you’re thinking, don’t.

Control your sex drive or it will be used to control you, and invariably very much against your own best interests.

I got lucky, and found my own partner quite early on (28 years together, now). But I did not stop observing other couples around me, and those men who failed to adequately control their own sex drive were the ones who almost always were taken advantage of and manipulated against their own best interests.

Ironically, RP (and to an extent, BP) information is a great base to understand how you can and will be manipulated, with MGTOW a good framework to insulate yourself against manipulation. Just understand that blaming others is a toxic and counterproductive path, seek to improve yourself to make RP/BP truths work with you and your best interests, and not against you.

What do RP and BP mean here?

Redpill and Blackpill, I'm assuming.

Incel-speak.

I ain't trying to scare you, but if you live a statistically average life you're about to hit a downward trend in your mood which will last a couple of decades. By the time you're thirty you'll likely have a boss, a spouse and kids, all of whose needs will have to come before yours. Things start to improve again at age 47 when the kids have moved out and you're at the top of your career.

Maintain your friendships. It's so easy to make them a low priority, but having good friends and being a good friend to them is the way to make it through.
