Help me fix my broken worldview plz!

@joe_ronimo What's your lead up to sex look like? You might be inadvertantly screening IN ONS types of girls. I think Andy's template does polarize for that. It might also be your immediate follow up too. I had a string of girls that I slept with, but wasn't able to convert to regular FWBs. A big p...

Is being vague lying?

I'm leaning more to yes, the more experience I'm having with it. My last several FWBs I've been totally up front with (saying I'm not into monogamy). While I think he has some good stuff, I'm getting a little more skeptical of blackdragon too. Yeah, I think people in general are getting more skepti...

Is being vague lying?

It's more or less what he already said. You're intentionally NOT acting like a boyfriend, and also subtlety implying non monogamy (having jewelry or hair ties on your nightstand). You're kind of dodging any relationship type questions until she really pushes. Isn't that not being honest lol? I mean...

No More Mr. Nice Guy Notes and Actionable Insights

@SIGMA_1234

I really like NMMNG though I didn't do the actual exercises as much as had the realization that some of that stuff exists. I think eliminating covert contracts and pursuing your needs were definitely the most important things there!

Zoom First Date + My Place Second Date

I've not dated much during COVID, but I definitely wouldn't do zoom.
I had a pretty healthy rotation coming in, and only add someone in when I need to.

The few I've met really didn't have issues with coming straight over, or inviting me over to their place.

For Dates 2-3 weeks ahead

I have a Bumble date scheduled in 2 weeks. Potentially another one in 3. For Dates 2-3 weeks ahead, do you occassionally text the girl to make her know you still exist (i.e.: once or 2x per week?)? Or do you not text her at all? If it wasn't for quarantine, I would have scheduled dates closer, but ...

What are your vices, and why do you do them?

Smoking is definitely my number one. I've tried (and failed) to quit several times now. I also drink coffee in the morning. I used to drink a couple of pits worth per day. No caffeine in the evenings has definitely helped me with getting more sleep. Lastly is probably that I'm a bit TOO content by m...

How to Fall In Love With the Process of Working Out

I have several sources that drive me to lift... The first was I was sick of being fat. I'd always been chubby, and had gotten heavier as an adult.
After that was the fact I deal with old people that can't even stand up under their own power. I'm never going to be feeble or frail.

Take 2.

JamalHash123 Thanks, I'm definitely going to check out that channel! And by all means nitpick away! I posted for feedback, and as long as I'm moving in the right direction I'm pretty happy. I do use hair paste, the second set of pics was at the end of the day (after work and doing some running). I ...

Take 2.

chado I'm really not opposed to that kind of stuff. It's more that I LIKE looking like a classy older guy. Granted I have a damn baby face, so might be able to pull off dressing a bit younger. In any case I think my current wardrobe is a step up from the typical 35+ dude that wears super baggy t sh...

Take 2.

Oh you might need to lose weight before you really start shopping for clothes then. I would suggest a tapered leg. Either way weight loss might be the priority here. Clothes will fit really well once you’re in shape. No doubt, and I'm already on it down 8.5lbs since I started cutting. I'd gained ab...

the only thing would be better-fitting jeans in my opinion. they seem a little long and baggy Those are 34/30, 32s are uncomfortably tight. I tried to do the side view to show the fit in my thighs a bit better. They ARE looser down in my calf's, those are standard cut. chado I don't feel like my ph...
