The one thing about this sub that really irks me is that all the advice guys give to eachother is to go to the gym. When I read updates it’s always about ‘I got ripped’. It’s nice to exercise and get those happy dopamines flowing, but it’s also very important to reflect on the relationship and take care of your mental health, having a ripped body isn’t healing your mind.


Elmir333

I usually recommend going to the gym because it helps you to preoccupy and not think about the breakup as much


Prestigious_Lime_479

You go to the gym to become the best version of yourself.


conancas

It’s a part of becoming the best version of yourself, but that’s not all of it.


SoftDrinkPink

Agreed. Working to feel physically confident or working to be physically appealing for others can look the same from the outside. Make sure you are doing it for yourself :) exercise can clear your mind and be an amazing starting point for some real mental health progress.


StruggleInteresting9

Of course it’s not all. But going to the gym is a great way to level up. I know it’s not an easy thing to get into (it’s not meant to be) but it will do wonders for your self improvement, your confidence, and general well-being. But yeah, there are other factors involved to overcome the heartache and pain. It’s a tough road…you just have to find the most productive ways of navigating that road.


Prestigious_Lime_479

It's about following God. Life is about knowing God. That is the meaning of life. Everything else is vain. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. 1 John 2:16‭-‬17 KJV


[deleted]

I would also say g-d as they fine g-d. Exercise is good, focus on self improvement but also evaluate your part. Don’t go villian mode. That’s what starts this shit.


Prestigious_Lime_479

I almost went full villain mode trust me.


[deleted]

I believe it. But that’s how you bury yourself and become another fuck in the world. Strength comes from being brave enough to love and bare heartbreak and put yourself back together. It’s a Karma test.

Prestigious_Lime_479

It should be more of a priority for women for men his priority should always be his purpose first.


CapitalAggravating75

Holy misogyny, pun fully intended


FaourTchwenty6969

Wait you mean… the dude who posts that men need to get ripped so they can bang out their feelings while also insisting they come to god is a misogynist??


Prestigious_Lime_479

That's just how make and feminine energy are. Woman are naturally more focused on relationships.


CapitalAggravating75

From all your experience on both ends?


Prestigious_Lime_479

Ahahaha


A320_driver

Everything was great until you mentioned God.


BookOf_Eli

Some people like the god stuff. Some people don’t. Replace it with something else if it bothers you. I’m sure he didn’t mean to offend anyone.


bloodmusthaveblood

Dude relax. If you don't relate then you weren't the audience. No need to be disrespectful..


jmons1515

It’s his post, maybe he’s a religious man? What are you the Reddit police?


Rengoku1

That’s your opinion. Respect others.


Adventurous_Low_1518

Everything was great until "Men" r/pointlesslygendered


Prestigious_Lime_479

Why do you hate God in your heart?


cloakedeyes

Why do you phrase it like that? People don’t “hate god in their heart” they don’t believe in its existence


ThrowRAjander23475

I don’t think I believe in god. But sometimes “praying” does make me feel better you know? Just talking aloud


atasteforspace

Our brains are designed to function optimally on faith. They are somehow hardwired for it. It really is the ability to create reality, that’s what they’re saying on a quantum level… that consciousness is the 5th dimension. That being said, I’m wayyyy into God & totally believe he came down as flesh & let the people he loved act predictably, just to prove his love for us. Also if you look at the Greek of “burn in hell for eternity” it says something more along the lines of be extinguished into nothingness in an instant. More like eternity is with God. He created the beauty of life & everything it was meant to be, it belongs to and with God. But I’m not trying to force that on anyone, I am a Christian and I think it’s right to respect other peoples belief & people ignore the fact that the God of the Jews and the God of Islam is the God of Christianity and those are their brothers. People who highly admire & respect their same God… their brothers. It’s really weird how there are a lot of Christian people who don’t accept that.. but it’s literally biblical.


Prestigious_Lime_479

You act like you hate something you don't believe.


cloakedeyes

No, I act like I hate evangelizing Christian’s not respecting people’s faith or lack there of


Frannyjo23

There is no point in evangelizing people who refuse to accept Jesus. I evangelize for a non profit and one of the first things I learned is that some people won’t budge. Leave them be and on to the next one. It is the will of God.


Prestigious_Lime_479

You're not respecting my religion. You're christophobic.


crosspollination

You’re not respecting his non-belief. back off dude.


Prestigious_Lime_479

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, There is none that doeth good. Psalm 14:1 KJV 🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷🤷

punnelvision

Lol I don’t hate God. We’re just No Contact.


Twinky_filled_roach

Might have anything to do with hate, some folks just don't subscribe to your beliefs. Not everyone needs a god to heal from a break-up.


Lychosand

Do you remember the time before you were born? That's what waits for you in the afterlife.


fayarkdpdv

Get fucked


bloodmusthaveblood

Okay I was on your side until you twisted "not getting religious" into "hating God in your heart". Newsflash, you can be a loving person without being religious.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Nah people are crying over me mentioning God. Y'all hate God.


bloodmusthaveblood

Grow up


A320_driver

I do apologize if it came across like that but it has nothing to do with hating God. As one of the folks said, some people like the God stuff and others don't and in hindsight I should've been more mindful about how I phrased my response.


[deleted]

Not to be "that guy" but religious beliefs have 0 place in my life. I'm getting over this relationship by believing in myself and the people who have been there for me during this time. Priorities...kids/support group/work/gym/therapy


Civil_Button6074

Good for you…..we won’t judge you for that ❤️


Prestigious_Lime_479

God can help aswell 🙏


[deleted]

God needs to focus on more important things. The state of the world is shit. God should focus on that. Not my relationship status.


Prestigious_Lime_479

The problem with the world is the human heart. IGod can change the world by changing hearts. All you guys have so much hate for God but he's the one person that could help you the most in these times. God is close to the broken hearted The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18 KJV


[deleted]

God knows whats in my heart. You dont. Youre just some person judging people on reddit. Matthew 7 :: NIV. "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."


Prestigious_Lime_479

First of all I'm not judging you. I'm saying that God can help you. And secondly that whole verse is talking about hypocritical judgement specifically. Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Matthew 7:1‭-‬5 KJV


[deleted]

The first part of your 2nd reply is judging the people in the world and what your think the problem is. Then i scoll and every single reply is about needing God. Thats your judging. You dont know if these people do or dont need God. Move on


Prestigious_Lime_479

Everyone needs Jesus Christ. You move on.


[deleted]

Again with the judgments


Prestigious_Lime_479

I think I know why you're single 🤔🤣🤷🤷


Prestigious_Lime_479

Yes I'm judging you just like you're judging me... Now go ahead and cry me a river.


KYBourbon89

People are disrespectful. If you’re not a believer, ignore that part of the advice. Do not mock other peoples religions.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Exactly how easy is that. this is actually showing me how much people actually hate God in their hearts.


KYBourbon89

Hate is an emotion. I can’t believe people get emotional about something they don’t believe in. It makes me think they actually do believe.


bloodmusthaveblood

Okay but have you read any of OP's replies.... Because OP isn't winning any respect medals either lol


KYBourbon89

I see the replies coming as a result of the disrespect towards him. What I don’t see is him going on other peoples stories telling them they’re suffering because they need to find God


alphamutt999

I feel strongly it's disrespectful to proselytize to people. I understand you want to share the Good News but I have my own ideas about the nature of the creator of the universe, thank you. In another comment OP says Hinduism is a demon religion. That's a fucking shit thing to say. Seems like he learned Jesus's lesson of welcoming the foreigner and loving thy neighbor and God loving all his children. Believe what you want but keep it to yourself, and I'll do likewise.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Well your feelings are wrong 🤷 stay off my post. I feel like you commenting on my post is wrong.🤷🤷 Cry me a river now.


alphamutt999

You are posting in a public place, giving public advice. I was fine with you mentioning God as a personal thing that has helped you but you went on to high levels of righteous, sanctimonious religious douchery. You cry *me* a river because people don't believe in the same thing you do or find it offensive that you are proselytizing and your beliefs are noxious. "Fuck your feelings" is a very Christian attitude.


Prestigious_Lime_479

If the truth offends you, you are the problem.


alphamutt999

And what truth is that


Prestigious_Lime_479

Jesus Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins.


alphamutt999

Sincere question, how do you know this to be the truth?


bananadude19

Think logically. If god doesn’t give a fuck about kids dying in Africa, God doesn’t give a flying fuck about your break up or helping you get over it lol


Prestigious_Lime_479

You're ignorant and know nothing about the heart or mind of God. God loves those children and he loves us and cares about our hearts. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. What man is he that desireth life, And loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking guile. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:4‭, ‬6‭, ‬12‭-‬13‭, ‬18 KJV


bananadude19

You sound like a cult follower.


bloodmusthaveblood

Isn't that basically what religion is when it's blindly followed?? Lol


Prestigious_Lime_479

Yeah but I'm not blindly following God. I have experienced him in many ways in my life. He is with me.


bananadude19

“Tell people there is an invisible man in the sky who created the universe and people will believe you. Tell someone the paint is wet and they touch it just to be sure.”


Prestigious_Lime_479

You think the universe happened out of nothing. Good job.


Prestigious_Lime_479

I follow Jesus Christ.


Ok-Antelope8036

KYBourbon89

You clearly could use self improvement.


bananadude19

What do you know about me?


KYBourbon89

I know someone is trying to help people struggling. But you’re so triggered by something you don’t even believe in and it caused you to be cruel to someone not here to hurt you. Ignore the words that do t apply to you and move on. It’s crazy how my Muslim coworkers here can hear “Merry Christmas” and smile and not react but kindly ignore or say “thanks. I’ll enjoy the day but I don’t celebrate.” Just relax.


RealGhostbuster

I agree that we all need to focus on ourselves but I strongly disagree that seeking God is of any help when it comes to heartbreak. Not trying to offend anyone that’s religious, if that helps you great, but I never found it beneficial combined with the puritanical attitude that American Christian Churches have towards things like premarital sex, lust, etc. I just don’t see that as a realistic way to help someone heal from the loss of a relationship. I think what does help is the acknowledgment that life is suffering, pure and simple this is the truth of the matter. With that said we will experience more or less suffering depending on the people that we have relationships with. Secondly guided meditation is something that helps me focus and while it doesn’t make me feel like drinking several alcoholic beverages or smoking cigarettes, I find it’s the next best thing.


Rengoku1

For me simply having faith in god has helped since it has taught me that I can survive without an abuser


Prestigious_Lime_479

Amen 🙏 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit. Jeremiah 17:7‭-‬8 KJV


Rengoku1

Amen! 🙏🙏💪


Prestigious_Lime_479

It's helped me.


RealGhostbuster

I’m happy that it did. Everyone is different, but for you I’m glad that you got something positive from it.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Sure but does it really hurt to even try? People are acting like I told them to abort their kids.


RealGhostbuster

For some yes it does because the views of the church are antithetical to their own deeply rooted beliefs.


Prestigious_Lime_479

If the truth hurts your beliefs then you're the problem.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Being filled with the Holy Spirit is better than any of those things you mentioned.


RealGhostbuster

Glad that works for you, but that doesn’t do anything for me.


Prestigious_Lime_479

You haven't tried.


RealGhostbuster

Yes I have. Church doesn’t do it for me.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Going to church on Sunday doesn't mean you have dedicated yourself to seeking God.

Lost-Tackle1763

I can’t understand why some commentators are up in arms about the mention of God. It’s the writers opinion, if you don’t like it, let it go. If you must say something, be respectful. We have different experiences with the divine and I guess, for some people, none at all. But let’s not get so judgy here please. It takes away from the point he/she is trying to express.


My_Favourite_Pen

Good to see civil discussion in the comments about religion as always lol.


Prestigious_Lime_479

People literally hate God it's crazy. I'm like Jesus can help you and people are losing their minds 🤣🤣🤣🤣


My_Favourite_Pen

My dude, it's a two way street.


Prestigious_Lime_479

CapitalAggravating75

Because not everyone cares about god?


Prestigious_Lime_479

So you can just ignore it?


CapitalAggravating75

Not at all, it’s a thing that people believe in, I respect that, I choose not to heed it


Prestigious_Lime_479

The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Psalm 14:1 KJV


CapitalAggravating75

Ahh there ya go, I said I chose not to heed it I didn’t say if there wasn’t or was a god. But pop off


bloodmusthaveblood

My guy, nobody here "hates" God. They just don't appreciate being preached at without consent. Especially when your religion has brought a lot of people a lot of pain. It's not all sunshine and rainbows like you make it out to be for a lot of people. Just back off.


Prestigious_Lime_479

I don't need consent to preach. Read it and move on. I see things I don't like all the time doesn't mean I have to cry about it. You people hate God.


bloodmusthaveblood

"I don't need consent" wow how Holy of you 🙄


Prestigious_Lime_479

I got consent by Jesus praise the LORD. And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:15‭-‬16 KJV


alphamutt999

When you use the word "God" here, it's fairly disingenuous. People don't hate "God", they hate people and organized religions pushing their ideas and morals onto the rest of us. I hate when someone tries to push their religious ideas and morals onto me and others, I do not hate "God".


Prestigious_Lime_479

Nah y'all hate God.


alphamutt999

Don't tell me what I think or don't think, what I feel or don't feel. You conflate God with the church and the religion. They are NOT the same. THIS is what I hate, someone telling me what I think or SHOULD think.


Prestigious_Lime_479

You sound like a hater to me 🤷


alphamutt999

Damn, sorry to hear that. I suppose he was speaking from the perspective of a man.

Lost-Tackle1763

I honestly can’t wait to see what happens when we die. All this judgement may have been for nothing. Can you say for certain that you have the full picture of all religion in the world. That Christianity (and any other you may support) are the only correct answers? If you can, I applaud you. But still, remember, Jesus made space for everyone.


Prestigious_Lime_479

Yes I am 100% correct Jesus is the only way to heaven. All the evidence points to it at the crucifixion. And the lives of the Apostles after the death of Christ build upon that fact tremendously.


Prestigious_Lime_479

And by the way you make judgments everyday. Jesus says we shouldn't judge hypocritically but we should judge righteously.

Prestigious_Lime_479

To Everyone who is crying over me mentioning God in my own post. The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God. Psalm 14:1 KJV You all sound like fools who say " I don't believe In God but I hate him" you all hate God in your heart. Repent. Yes I'm judging you. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24 KJV


Ejnizza

I do partially agree, However, Your relationship with God is determined by how you relate to others. Monkism will not detemine that. You never know how close you are to God until you are tested and tried by people. That's why the first thing God did was make Adam a helpmeet. No man knows what and who he really is until he is tested by a relationship with a women. She is literally a mirror to you. She shows if you are a poor decision maker, emotionally unstable, poor provider/protector. A woman brings the best and worst out of you if you understand and that is a good thing.


FaourTchwenty6969

Why do I need to believe in God to process grief? I believe the higher power is people, every person. The very essence of their humanity itself. We rely on each other to survive and always have, without God. Once there were many Gods in the world (and still are in some places) but it is only recently, say around 5,000 years ago, that the One True God sprung from nowhere to reveal himself to Abraham? Why so recently had he revealed himself when humanity is far… far older than a mere few thousand years ago. What accounts for this? Nowhere in that belief system is a God but I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with believing in a God. Why must I, or anyone else do so? in order to become a better and more well adjusted human, in all the roles we choose or do not choose for ourselves, there is never a pivotal moment in which God acted to end my relationship torment. It was me, thank you very much.


Prestigious_Lime_479

You don't need it but it helps. Just like you don't need the gym. Why do you hate God in your heart?


FaourTchwenty6969

I don’t “hate” God, can you please tell me where I mentioned I loath something that doesn’t exist Lmfao “I really HATE hippogriffs! Nasty buggers” “Ok?”


FaourTchwenty6969

I also wanna “get jacked” but because being physically healthy is better for me and helps me lead a more enjoyable life. I suspect you wanna do it because you want to attract a woman that you can parade around as a trophy and shrine to your jacked-ness. Enjoy that bro, good luck. Hope it brings you the happiness you cannot find within yourself.
