What I see in @shookwun, and what makes him one of my favourite posters, is that he is willing to grab life by the balls as opposed to being a passenger in his own life.
He wants girls, so he doesn't just "cold call" 500 women on plentyoffish and tinder (though he probably does that too), he also goes to bars and tries to pick them up there. A multilateral approach, which maximizes hedging and life experience at the cost of maximizing short-term risk to self-esteem.
He wants a more ripped body, so he doesn't just buy an ab cruncher and do 50 situps every morning in the hope of getting a beach body. He goes to the gym, in a methodical and consistent manner, does steroids in a methodical manner, etc.
Among the biggest mistakes of most gym-goers is not being consistent. They'll go do a garbage, low-intensity workout for 2 or 3 weeks, they'll see a lack of progress, and they'll quit the gym all bitter about it. Read more about average gym goers here:

Incidentally he is the only person on this forum who seems to give remotely competent advice on steroids. That's not a terrible thing and there is a fraction of the male population that would benefit from juice. I don't know what that fraction is, but it's there.
Making money on the oil sands take decent balls. A lot of people are qualified to go, there's a labour shortage there so if you want a job in Fort McMurry you have a good shot of getting one, a good job. But people choose not to go because "it's hard". My understanding is that he's maximizing his long-term earnings potential by building a business, and not just being a blue collar.
I could go on. The point is that there is a benefit to living life by doing life rather than just having life be something that happens to you. In particular, this forum has a need for people who advocate actually living life.
