Alright!

Added a new product to the ecom store today. If it sells it'll potentially open up a whole new category for me. Revenue was up significantly overall this week, so that's nice.

Playing around with yet another idea for the new website today. Wrote up a sales/landing page for the idea. Feels like I'm stuck in theory land with this overall though and always end up completely unsure what to do.

-

Date for tonight is still on with the russian chick:)

My other fwb sent me this whole string of messages today about how she wants to fuck without condoms. I don't really get it. This chick isn't even on birth control right now. Told her NO and she's acting really moody/disappointed

-

@AskTheDom yeah dude I'm pretty fucking lean right now, although that's partly down to me skipping meals to go hang out with girls lately. Used to having 5 or so meals in a day to keep on my weight and shoving food in my mouth right before I go to sleep. Still keeping on the muscle tho and not giving up any hard earned strength gains

It's a simplistic way to look at things and has limitations, but at least it's objective and gives you a score to work with.
Better than nothing.

But this is me being a bit of a marketing geek.

You should be tracking your profile based on behaviour metrics NOT survey metrics.

In other words there's no skin in the game for someone liking a photo on photofeeler. But there is skin in the game for actually going out on a date. (If that makes sense).

I've seen more veteran guys on this forum get insane scores on photofeeler but then have that picture do worse than a lower score pic.

Seems like photofeeler prefers smiling well cropped pictures but actual tinder users like masculine well cropped pictures.


Anyway for awhile I was looking at likes per boost divided by 100,000 people in a 25km radius.

And it was something like 0.6 or 0.8 likes per boost per 100k people at peak hours was pretty good.


But at the end of the day it's really about whether or not you're happy about your results. There seems to be a hard cap on how many matches and likes your profile can get.

Ahh I see you are a man of culture!

As a strong believer of "measure what matters" I agree with you, who cares about matches if they only just like your pictures?
PF it is exactly that, people that the cool photos but it's the equivalent of asking people in the street "hey would you like to stop world hunger?" obviously everyone will say yes, but when you say "if everyone donated 100$, this would end tomorrow" and you start to get polite rejections and excuses...
Skin in the game is what matters most because dating is a honest signal feedback - it's either yes or no - sex or not (chapter aside for fucked up logistics but you get my mojo)

In relation to boosts, I think it works a bit in mysterious ways right now, like before i would get much more likes and i could just look at who did that, while now if I do nothing i get 2-3, but if i swipe like a madman only in these 30' i get 6-7 matches...

It's definitely a must to keep swiping while doing Boosts. Girls you swiped on during a Boost will sometimes show up days afterwards with a "you matched with X thanks to Boost". Boosted likes go to the top of their stack I believe. If you just let the Boost run without swiping, you're wasting a lot of potential.

Published a new blog post today (the 2nd one ever). It’s not fantastic but that’s okay I will get better with time.

Rearranged the site layout and like it much better now. More confident in how I want the blog to look and what I want to write about.

Also added the first affiliate link to the blog, so it’s officially monetized now. Through Amazon associates.

Funny, when I logged into my Amazon account today I realized that I’ve been receiving regular affiliate commissions for years due to an old YouTube channel that I haven’t touched in forever. Nice little surprise and shows me that this will work

—-

So the girl I was going to meet last night went radio silent at the last moment, ended up just having a chill night.

Then she texted me back last night and again today saying that she had no service cause she was at a memorial. I dunno. Anyway she wants to meet tonight (at her place) and already sent me her address so we’ll see, I’ll give it another shot

Improved the look of my website (altered the menu and centered new custom logo). Now has just 3 categories:

Blog
Gallery
Cool shit

I like it. Added search functionality.

Consuming content on writing influential blog posts. Going to go write for 30m immediately after this update

(Then hit a workout)


Testing a slightly modified tinder photo right now on photofeeler to see if I can bump the score of my shirtless pic



So the girl I’ve been texting the last two days flaked again, and this was even after getting her address. Says she wasn’t feeling well and asked to postpone. Is still saying she wants to hang out but I’m not going to try and go for that.

Instead I was able to get together with a another girl I’ve been seeing and had a nice time with her. Got a bj with an ice cube in her mouth haha

Also got a tentative date scheduled for tomorrow night with a new girl, at her place. Lives in a shed by her parents house, could be interesting

Alright the girl I was going to meet tonight ended up being free last night so I went to her place and we hung out and fucked. Really good head/hj.

I have to admit though, overall the whole thing felt like kind of a chore. IDK. Haven’t been truly horny in weeks now. I’m being extremely selective in who I swipe on right now and considering maybe limiting the new girls I meet to try and find a better balance.

I’m also very lean right now and have been in a calorie restricted diet for awhile so that might be playing a role in my libido not being as high. Someone on this forum mentioned maca powder so I bought some of that today, we’ll see.

Going into work in a sec and will be doing that until 8pm. I like to pickup extra shifts when I can to get more investing dollars

Edit: going to make some time this week to just get out in nature too. Haven’t been on a hike in ages

What's your BF %? as you were lean already i assume you are entering dangerous waters. also what's your fat intake?
Everytime i did a cut and stopped seeing morning glories, i knew i was below 12%

Did my writing just now. ‘Nother post on the way...

Working on some details related to the look/functionality of the site. If I can improve the face of the blog just a bit each week then I should be good

Want it to be a really excellent looking site that hits you hard and pulls you in

-

Met the girl from Monday again last night. Wasn’t planning on it but she hit me up at 8pm and I rallied. Glad I did. Sex was better the 2nd time. However I cheated by popping a bunch of cialis... don’t wanna get into the habit

@AskTheDom last time I measured my BF at this weight I was 8-9%, but I’ve got a little more muscle now. In my avi photo I’m around 13%. Fat intake is somewhere around 25%. Going to make sure I get my calories in each day, one way or another

I’m also aware that the stress and uncertainty of trying to work out this new business is likely affecting my energy levels and appetite

How do you measure your body fat? Just curious. I have a scale but that's hella inaccurate

I don’t measure normally. But before I’ve used a combo of the caliper, the bio-impedance device, and best of all getting visual estimates from actual competitors at my gym

Now I generally just have a ballpark sense of where I’m at

And congrats bro, just saw your lay report

Yeah the combo: low fat % + low fat diet + cortisol spikes isn't the best for your libido, but i'm not a doctor, i'm just a gym bro that spent too much time on the internet :D

just check what Renegade said below, these scales are accurate as a 60$ bill.

A guy at the gym was a pro and him looking at me for 2 seconds gave the same reading it took me with calipers, measures :D

Writing - done. Like this article better than the last 2. Also added categories to the blog.

Thinking about landing page offers.

-

Testing variations of a tinder photo on photofeeler but slightly confounded by the results. May try to put together a proper tinder A/B test but it looks like so much fucking work and $$ for results that are also questionable.

The gold standard would prob be measuring how many girls you can get to come over with each profile variation, but that's totally untenable especially when we're talking about tiny improvements. Just too much variance and a much smaller sample size compared to looking at hundreds of matches.

Will find a way to make these incremental improvements though.

Ya I mean we could get statistical and talk about Confidence Intervals and required sample sizes.

But you just do enough of the right things and you get results.

Like I said from a pure measuring perspective: Avg likes per boost per 200,000 people in 25km radius seems to be the most accurate gauge.

That metric was actually pretty accurate at guessing how many likes I got on my boosts in Toronto vs Calgary.


But picture by picture?

Honestly you're better of just sticking to the principles everyone talks about and getting feedback from the most experienced guys you can get access to.
