Hey there guys, Steven Male here, as you can tell by my fail SC2 name...

So I love Starcraft 2 and this community, been around for about 2 years now but finally making myself present =D

I'm one of those people who love personal development, like improving myself in all areas of life and would really love to start giving back and helping others. I've read all the books, listened to all the tapes so I hope I can apply some of the knowledge to help you guys out with any problems you or someone you know are having or if you wish to improve in some area I could also give some advice!

If you don't want to post down below, feel free to PM me, I'll try respond to everyone! I'd love to be the personal development person of nerds hahaha, might start a web series soon =O

Feel free to ask any questions like, your personal life, relationships, school, university, learning, studying, ANYTHING and I'll try help you out!

Also feel free to ask if you want advice about how to improve yourself in some areas like your health, fitness, mind, relationships and all the jazz.

Hopefully I can help and I look forward to your questions =D

P.S. If you learn something make sure you teach someone else and pass it forward! That's the best way to get it into your system and really remember something while making the world an awesome place.

Thank god you posted this thread. I have a serious problem with masturbation. I can't find much time to even eat because I'm doing it so much. Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with withdrawals and have to rub a quick one out. Also I'm addicted to porn. The vanilla stuff doesn't work anymore so I'm resorting to things like scat midget porn with animals, but that's getting kind of boring. I don't know what to do anymore.

Because I do it so much I am unable to please my wife. She thinks it's because she gained 60 pounds that I'm not attracted to her, but really it's because of my chronic masturbation. I've considered asking my doctor for medication to treat the erectile problems but he tells me I'm already overactive in that area and just need to cut down on my activities. He also says to see a therapist. I just don't know what to do can you help me?

This would make more sense as a blog, I think.

Also what the fuck is going on in this thread.

hey i appreciate your post, unlike some losers.

i'd be interested to hear what your top 3 favorite books/programs are? like what do you recommend?

also do you have any thoughts on what drives people to achieve long-term goals? like what's the best way to get yourself to spend time exercising, studying or working hard every day to achieve a long-term result?

you can keep it as brief as you want, i'll ask if i want to know more details.

thanks.

Oh, jdseemoreglasses and his attempts on Satire. I soon expect a blog of you.

On topic: I have problems talking to girls, I don't know what to talk about, because most probably the stuff doesn't interest me, and so I don't know how to develop a genuine interest of things that girls are interest of.

Damn, I made that blog to help people to distinguish between satire and trolling and they still don't get it. I didn't have an actual argument here I was just trolling. And yeah I probably will make another blog eventually but it won't have anything to do with this thread. :/

Anyway, I don't know where you get this idea that you need to share some geniune interest with a girl. The best relationships aren't formed by filling an awkward void with all kinds of forced conversation or interests, they are formed by two people simply enjoying eachother's company. There was this great line in Pulp Fiction to the effect that you've found someone special when you can just shut the fuck up together and share silence comfortably.

I've been with my wife happily for 10+ years and although we have a lot in common we don't share any of the same interests. She's not into things like books or competitive games or computers and I'm not into stuff like... talking or shopping. Your best bet in the short term is to just ask her questions about herself and pretend to listen and care while she tells you all about her annoying friend Becky for 20 minutes or whatever

Uhm books wise, the newest one which has really impressed me is Brendon Burchard's the charge. Second would be the classic How To Win Friends and Influence People. Third would be anything on Tony Robbin's lol. Oh and Seth Godin's Purple Cow for marketing + it's just awesome =D

For long term goals and results the best thing is to make what you are trying to achieve actually motivate you. So for example you can't just think of a certain amount of money, but you need to be able to visualize and feel the experience you are going to have with the money, like a trip X to do Y. It needs to literally be able to move you. There is no easy way to get yourself to do the hard work, discipline is key as well as trying to have fun, so integrating music that you love with the work for example. And never see it has "work", see it as a journey towards achieving your mission or something like that because work has negative connotations =D

If you've tried all subjects, even like tv shows, reddit, anything that you enjoy talking about consider finding another girl. You don't want to be with someone that you don't share any interests with, it'll just lead to a dead relationship. And heck there are plenty of girls that would enjoy talking about what you enjoy talking about, the only way you can show genuine interest about a topic you don't care about would be to care about the girl enough to genuinely care about her. Then vicariously you will be able to genuinely care about what she is talking about.

Next would just be to do it a lot, the only way to find something easier is to throw yourself into the situation, learn from it, create some strategies, try again with the new strategies. Talking to girls is just like playing Starcraft hahaha.

I took me 6 months to begin talking to my girlfriend about my closet nerd and soon after we were playing Starcraft together =D I hope that will give you some hope!

And he comes back with some good advice! Well said. But seriously, consult a therapist... =P
