So I was at my gym today and they were doing free "assessments" for members. I asked if they could calculate my BF%. Turns out it's 8.3 (fuckin A, I was ecstatic). The female trainer goes on to say that that's "too low, and you need to have around 12% BF in order to be considered healthy for someone my age. She also said with my current BF%, I risk having a weak immune system. Any truth to this? Just to give you some idea I'm about 6'3 and 170 lbs, late 20s.

ha, she wasn't fat or anything. Decent shape, Hispanic girl, probably early to mid-20s, nice booty and powerful legs. But when I questioned her response she said "believe me, i've been doing this for a long time." Kinda full of herself.
In my sick downtime I finally got to reading A Dead Bat in Paraguay. It's been really good and hard for me to put down. Roosh's description of the predator character and the Italian guy, coupled with what recent bangs have told me, makes me think that my energy isn't that much fun. I pull, but then girls get spooked.
I don't want to launch into an all out clown character, but I want to kill the boring vibes I seem to have.

Yeah she is right. Ultra low body fat compromises your immune system as your body needs body fat to fuel its wars against the flu and colds. You are more prone to get sick with low BF% and if you do get sick you get hit way harder (which means you could loose a ton of muscle if you did get a bad flu and were sick for a week for example). You also don't produce that much test when your body is super low on bf%, especially below 8% feeding down towards ~6%.
The reality that being "shredded" isn't a measure or marker of good or elite health. The optimal body needs a certain baseline of fat percentages to work with and always have on stand by. It isn't alot, but minus it you can leave your self open for more harm then good.

I've only been here for a year and only reverted back to the red pill beliefs of my youth at the same time...
But I'm getting really pissed off with new members who clearly can't be bothered to read the amazing posts this forum has in its archives before getting stuck in.
They keep asking the same fucking questions over and over, expecting people to go out of their way and spend time writing comprehensive answers to questions that have been answered a million times before. I open threads hoping that something is being contributed but no, it's take take take. Seconds of my life I won't get back
Before I joined here I spent weeks (literally weeks) studying the material and absorbing it and relating it to my own life.
Real life IRTs are the worst. One came up to me while I was getting some kino in and he yells out that I'm "fake as fuck" and proceeds to run off. Of course shocked and surprised I yelled "fuck you" and ruined my frame with the girl. I got the number but that shit is finished fucking A.
This 50 Shades shit is off the hook. I'm from midwest and literally every single bitch I know is buzzing over seeing the movie with their friends.
Just like the tatt culture, the herd mentality surrounding this movie is ridiculous. Pull out the blind folds, restraints, whips and chains gents.. time to go to work!
E.L. James, author of '50 Shades of Grey,' may be the most disgusting woman alive.
Quote:Though she can be seen in Los Angeles at the Chateau Marmont, where she’s often found in the dimly lit garden with a nice glass of wine, James likes to eat Nutella with a spoon and has only recently upgraded her home in West London. She is funny, warm, and a great dinner date; she has described herself as a “gregarious party girl” and is a “hanger-outer,” says a friend. But she doesn’t do a lot of hiking up the “hard trail.” James is fond of tweeting her fans at night, saying, “I may have had too much to drink but I wanted to say how much I love you guys. You are everything & I thank you from the bottom of my heart,” and has said that her ultimate fantasy dinner party would comprise “my fanfiction friends from around the world.”

Anywho it looks awesome
Been there - I rather find it a bit frustrating. The only way that this is good is when I know that I have a chance of fucking her afterwards for dessert.

Thanks for the response! Still, 8.3...while I understand that's low I had no idea it was considered "ultra-low". I do not consider myself skinny despite only being 170 lbs. But I appreciate the advice. Gonna start eating some heavier foods.
