Is anyone here actually trying to build a good life outside of looks?

Not trying to preach, just genuinely wondering.

I agree that looksmaxing is important. It matters. But sometimes it feels like people here forget there’s an actual life to build outside of all this.

In example:

  • Are you working on skills?
  • Building a career?
  • Improving social confidence?
  • Finding purpose?
  • Getting out, traveling, trying things?
Or is everything on pause until you “make it” looks-wise?

I’ve been thinking “once I hit mid HTN then I’ll start living.” But it never ends. There's always something else to fix. And in the meantime, real life just... slips by.

So I’m asking:

Is anyone here working on building an actual life too?
Not just improving looks, but becoming a better version of yourself all around?
Curious to hear what others are doing outside the mirror.

That’s fair enough, atleast for the ones that are stuck in here for years, rotting away, no?

No, I really don’t have time or money for that. The drain on my time and finances from hardmaxxing (wageslaving) and vast amounts of exercise are just too much to even think about having a life right now.

I do sometimes imagine what things might be like once this phase is over. Hope is a cruel ally though.

if you have a above average base then money is more important. i mean how can you even looksmax in the first place without capital?
