Just here for the pie

Alright so I've been doing shit lately to improve or otherwise challenge myself (Exercising more, eating healthier, better posture, etc.) but I feel like it's not enough for myself despite noticeable improvements in confidence, strength, appeal, self-esteem, etc. and I need more things to do.

What do, SEN? Give me stuff to improve on or challenges that I could realistically destroy that are tests of willpower, endurance, strength, etc. Make me become a better person and I'll report my progress on your challenges.

Choose a place that's at least 35 miles away from you, then bicycle there and back.

Since you're going for the health thing have you thought about doing a multiple day hiking trip - kinda wrap it all into one?

Become friends with a scientist. Help him test his new device. Make sure your parents get married. Drive a car past into a cable just as lightning strikes a clock tower.

Return to your house to find your family significantly improved. Make sure your future children stay out of trouble. Prevent casinos from opening up in your hometown. Set the record straight.

Walk across a desert. Help your scientist friend fall in love. Duel a cowboy. Drive a train into a canyon. Return to your hometown and hope everything is back to normal.



Win by luck, lose by skill.

Pick a friend who's a good bit stronger than you and challenge him to arm wrestling. As expected you'll lose.
Then enroll in a fitness studio and train until you beat that friend of yours. If you wanna cheat you'll only exercise your arms. Really, don't do it. The point is to make your whole body more fit. The arm wrestling thing is just something you can measure your success with.

Go into a chess club and beat at least half of the members there.

Learn a new (spoken) language.

Spend a voluntary social year abroad.

Cease to masturbate for at least half a year.

Next holiday cook the meal for your family.


Do at least half of these and you'll have changed enough that posting that sex challenge video won't be a challenge at all for you anymore.

It should be noted that the original bicycling goal was completely legitimate. It's a very reasonable goal to try to work toward. When it finally gets warm enough in the spring, it's what I generally do to get ready for the summer. For someone who hasn't done similar training before, it'd be something you would need to work toward gradually. It would certainly improve your athleticism though, and tone you in the process since it's also really efficient cardio.

The arm wrestling thing is just something you can measure your success with.

Better learn how to arm wrestle as well, since it's largely about technique. A lot of people direct their force in the wrong direction, which results in them not using the right set of muscles to maximize their ability to resist the opponent's force.

Not to mention, two fairly strong people arm wrestling can be pretty dangerous. There's basically nothing else which applies a similar amount of torque to the bone in your upper arm, which is why people end up completely shattering that bone while arm wrestling. Being stronger actually increases the chances of this happening, rather than decreasing (since your arm would have been moved by the opponent, causing you to lose instead).

People who arm wrestle professionally center their entire diet around strengthening their bones, along with appropriate vitamin supplements and a rigorous training schedule which are designed to maximize their bone density. Still, even these people sometimes have their bones shattered from an arm wrestling match.

At any rate, I wouldn't personally recommend this, as it isn't really safe or a particularly good indicator of physical strength.

This is definitely a game that improves with practice, not simply intelligence as many people have been led to believe. I think I can safely assert that I wouldn't be able to go into a chess club and beat half the members there, as they're playing more games every day than I play in a year, and they're doing it with even more experienced players who are willing to give them pointers.

That being the case, if you want to attempt this goal, then I'll play you via InstantChess when you want to. The first part of your goal should be to beat me first, because if you haven't gotten to a point where you can beat me at least 75% of the time, you definitely won't be able to beat half the members of a dedicated chess club.

Maybe if you've already gotten that girlfriend alluded to in earlier suggestions.

It would really depend which half. I'm fairly sure that learning chess, not masturbating, and cooking a meal for your family isn't going to improve your chances of having sex :P

I meant link it here, although he could also show it to her. He'd probably need to have a data-enabled phone, with the page and link already entered, for maximizing his ability to do this.

Could be something fun to do with friends, if they weren't all scattered across the country.

I'd be hard pressed to find a friend who's stronger than me, considering most of them are CS majors (as I am, too).
I challenge SEN to games of chess.
How about programming language? :awesome:
Not an option financially.
Already did this, still going strong.
Challenge accepted. If not cook the whole meal, at least I'll help.
