I used to be decent looking thanks to my thick and wavy hair but now I'm as bald as picrel and I look horrible. How can I cope? I really don't know how to keep going like this
>>34101572I got this from ai about hair transplantsThe average cost of a hair implant surgery in the United States typically ranges from $6,000 to $12,000, with some procedures costing as low as $4,400 or exceeding $15,000 depending on individual needs. This variation is primarily influenced by the number of grafts required, the surgical technique used (such as FUE or FUT), the surgeon’s experience, and geographic location. For instance, FUE procedures generally cost more than FUT, and clinics in high-cost areas like New York or California may charge significantly more than those in other regions.
Just take finasteride and minoxidil
>>34101694>i got this from ai>keeps going on about hair transplantsthe future is fucking bleak
There is this woman I work with every day who is Viet (migrated to my country at age 15 or so) and she often invites me to hang out with her and eat. We also talk for an hour whenever we can and we're into the same vidya.I wonder if I should go out with her. The main issue is I'm 5 6' and black and she is Viet so I wonder I should even bother or if it's feasible at all to date her. She still lives with her dad at 30 and she doesn't seem to do anything outside of work
>>34099582Ok so you're an idiot who doesn't read what he types. You literally say a society who promotes race mixing is an unsuccessful society
>>34099615>the world's just gonna get more and more mixed til we're all just a pile of same goo basicallymmm no actually there just aren't going to be any white people left.>>34099990racemixing only counts when it's men of other races with your women. If you're fucking other races of women you're just conquering.
>>34099592Fantasy version of world events.
Go ask her out man. Don't let racist stereotypes or all that other bullshit like how tall you are determine who you can love. You only live one life, dont die a pussy living in regret. Seriously, why the fuck else do you think shes inviting you to come eat with her!?!?
>>34101421Same can be said of the women conquering the so*boi whites. End result same, goo pile of mixed races, no whites left and no races left
I take some fun pics of my gf sometimes (not sharing any here), and share them with friends (yes she knows and enjoys it) In the summer I shared one with one of her cousins, and liked the idea more than I expected. I shared many with him since then. Just wondering if I went too far or…
>>34100101>I just figured there would be more people here with a grasp on kinks and how they work in the communityHave you tried the humiliation HQ? Or the exhibitionist embassy building? I'm joking, just poking fun at the idea of a "community" for this type of thing. They don't really exist they just operate in fringe pockets of porn and bdsm and kink forums or whatever. You could try there or something idk. What I do know is it's clear your girl has a humiliation fetish or something, and you have a borderline cuck fetish where you enjoy showing her off to arouse other men or gain their admiration. That's not pearl clutching that's just calling a spade a spade, that's the whole point of kinks, sexualising seedy dark compulsions or urges or whatever. I'll admit I find the lifestyle to be degenerate shit but I can also admit if you and your girl make it work then fuck it who knows maybe what works for some might work for some. Either way you are clearly worried she isn't drawing a boundary or a line and the cousin thing shocked you because it begs the question: what next? Where does it end? Her brother? Father? Etc. you should just ask where the lines are drawn.
>>34100124Nah there are people and certain clubs and bars where kink groups meet, there is a communityBut it’s more an exhibitionist kink, and nothing to do with them being turned on, more her and I being turned on. Much more of a you can look, but I get to experience type of thing more than anything else.And she has a hint of humiliation kink that we are slowly and safely opening upBut, no brother so no worries here hahahaJust seeing where it will go and taking it a step at a time
>>34100124But you find those buildings let me know!
>>34100150>Much more of a you can look, but I get to experience type of thing more than anything else."I got it, you don't." Kinda thing. Like getting a shiny charizard Pokémon card and running up to the other boys to show them you got the shiny charizard card and they don't and feeling good about yourself, I get it.>>34100155>But you find those buildings let me know!Will do. I suspect the white house building and The George Bush Center for Intelligence of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) would be the loveliest candidates because they both love voyeurism, collecting and sharing other people's information and humiliation kek
This one guy needs to stop with the psychoanalysis attempts, they just all really off and bad leave it to someone that knows dude
I'm 34 and I regret not doing a PhD every single day. I feel too old to do it now and everyone around me keeps discouraging me.Is there a solution?
>>34101513SCHOOLER IS BACK
If you can afford it, think about it. Regret isn't going to go away.
>>34101513publish papers yourself on a website. if your research is for real maybe some professors will respond to your emails (like ramanujan lol)
>>34101513Do it, there're college students older than 34, lol.
Unless it's your absolute passion and you do it as an end in its own, stop it.Looking at the way you are describing it, you should better stop it.A Ph.D. is fucking worthless these days. Fucking anyone can get it, even the biggest retard.It proves fucking nothing. Academics are over and done. Pic-related in a way.Earn your stripes on a regular job. This will probably do you better.
my boyfriends mom uses him as a surrogate husband, should i point this out or just leave?
>>34101355You sure that’s all she uses him for?
>>34101355Not enough context, is this causing problems now? Are you worried about it causing problems in the future? Or does it just bother you, and what specifically bothers you about it?Can't offer any advice the way you've written it, could mean lots of things.
>>34101410I think it will be in the future. We've been together for a couple of years and while we both agreed in the beginning on long-term monogamous commitment, he brought up marriage and children in the future in more detail last week and floated the idea (he was like "maybe we could do this, who knows?") of living in his moms house since she can't pay her mortgage anyone/he would basically take over. Honestly I was horrified hearing this, and while this is in the future I think it's uncomfortable. What also bothers me is how he has a stepdad that lives with her but I guess he doesn't want to help her anymore? As for present day, idk his whole family is dysfunctional in that they aren't financially stable and constantly ask him for help and even though he expressed that he doesn't want do this long term I can tell that's he's a passive guy. Whenever she gets drunk she basically glazes him/asks him for expensive gifts. And I feel mild shame for what I'm about to say but I feel like with all these people depending on him I can't see how he'd want a family, we occasionally go on dates but it's like his mom is his actual girlfriend with how he takes care of her instead of me.I can see the writing on the wall. Am I making sense? Since he initiated the future talk again in more detail than we've talked about before I am thinking of bringing this up later. Another part of me is thinking "I could just walk away instead of dealing with all this", which isn't fair to him but still.
A lot of moms do this to their kids, especially after a divorce from the original father. It's a female thing. You women are vultures that can't be independent.Anyway, I went through this with my mom and the best way forward is to cut loose the rope. He needs to tell her he's going overseas for a holiday and he won't be contactable and that's it, bye. The mom will be fine. Just rip off that bandaid. Best to do it while he's walking out the door and she doesn't have time to try and blow up his phone to change his mind. Trust me when I say ripping off the bandaid like this is the BEST option.
How can I act more my age? I'm almost 40, I'm tried of feeling like I never really outgrew my college years.
>>34100611>I never really outgrew my college years.No one actually does. They generally get into situations that forces them to step up so it appears they change but they really don't.
>>34100759I know people maybe lament they wish life was like it was back in college but generally people mature and don't indulge in the same lifestyle that they had back then.I feel like I not only live that way but make the money I wish I had back then to live how I wanted and yet I still like my existence is underwhelming.
>>34100759American post
>>34101458>generally people mature and don't indulge in the same lifestyle that they had back thenIf you call "no longer being physically able to party like they're 24" maturing sure. They don't indulge because they can't without consequences that make it not worth it. I'm pretty much the same person I've always been I just have like, more experience and better coping skills now.
Is esthetician considered a "low class" occupation?
Women aren't judged by their class like men are, you're either a hot esthetician or a dumpy one

DON'T GO TO THERAPY studies show therapy makes people ruminate and fixate on their problems, often making them worsenot to mention many therapists work under a psychiatrist and is seeking to push medications on youdon't ever take an ssri or maoiif you need immediate depression relief there are ketamine microdose treatment centers that will give you immediate relief, unlike an ssri which takes weeks to have an effect and messes up your brain permanently for the rest of your life READ THE BIBLE LOVE YOURSELF LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
>>34092216Interesting and yes, SSRI really screw up the brain.
>>34094256Or maybe you are full of shit and therapy simply did not help them. And maybe you are the autist, because just like an autist you cannot seem to fathom how someone else dislikes the thing you consider to be sacred.
I hate half the neighbors I've ever had. Lot of scumbags where I live.
>>34094256Absolutely based and truth pilled.
>>34094256>Firstly, they love forming strong opinions about things they know little to nothing about>forms strong opinion on people they know little or nothing about.>Also calls them gay despite claiming they're above name calling.
I'm at something of a crisis in my life and would like the input of those who frequent the boards.I am 23 years old and I graduated high school back in 2021, not having a solid idea, really any idea of what I wanted to do in life. I worked at a restaurant for a while. My Dad is something between a boomer and a gen Xer, so he suggested "go into the trades", and so about year ago I went into a trade union since that seemed to be the easiest entry point.Fast forward to now, and I have such a low tolerance for it. I don't really care for or enjoy the work. Not only that, but my obligations to the Union include 10 hour classes on Saturdays, and meetings the first Wednesday of every month. Oh, and the drive t and from he meetings and school are an hour and a half each way. And my co-workers? Yeesh...So in a reverse direction, I've been looking at colleges. I've been interested in biology and life since I was young so I am interested in careers related to those fields, particularly health in things like pathology, osteology, lab work, or hell even being a doctor.Like I mentioned earlier, I am 23 so I am at a point where I need to get my shit together. What do you think? Stick with the Union or go to college and study?
I’m 26, almost 27. My parents get older every year. My dad is 64 and has knee problems. My mom is 59, has liver issues, is often tired, and her eyesight is starting to fail.I have to work and study now instead of just studying all day. I miss my old life. I don’t know what comes next. Getting my degree and saving money, try to get a better job.They tell me not to worry and to focus on saving money and finishing my degree, but I feel like I could be doing more.What can I do in this situation? How can I help my parents? What should I be focusing on right now?

I'm having trouble with my conversations being too friend-like with women. I don't really know how I can flirt or be playful without it being creepy or forced. Any pointers or advice? I'm sort of turned off by the pickup artist stuff too.
>>34097448Learn to read the room and see if your approach is actually welcome. Is her body language saying she’s in a hurry and doesn’t want to chat? Is she not asking questions back?Rejection and sex aren’t usually about you personally, it’s more about how receptive someone is in that moment with all the little factors going on.As for intent, just approach her like a normal human. Make a situational comment to open the conversation, make eye contact and slowly smile, tease a little, and compliment sparingly. I actually met my girlfriend at JCP while Christmas shopping for my mom just by asking her opinion on something I was looking at.
>>34062043The only thing that really matters here is practice. You will get better at it if you do this.
>>34076213What the actual fuck is wrong with you?
>I don't really know how I can flirt or be playful without it being creepy or forced. Any pointers or advice?Your new mission in life as a man is to see who is down to fuck/date (basically the same thing now). Start looking at women like things you just have to deal with/tolerate in order to get what you want. Sure this is "objectifying women" but objectifying women is the status quo and only once people were aware of it did it ever "become a problem." Pro-tip the people complaining about objectifying men/women are not breeding anytime soon. Sex is all a game you play without explicitly stating the goal.Whenever you see a woman just think "does she want me?" 95% of the time it's probably "no" but if they interact with you for any duration of time longer than they have to then it's probably "yes." If a woman does not like you no amount of forced charm will change their mind, not even if that would seem reasonable to you somehow. You just show up to check really. However waiting for women to make the first move is a bad idea and they will instantly think you're gay if you wait an mentally place you into the undateable category.People want what they lack and most women lack raw physical strength and also lack the willingness to take on risk as men. These masculine qualities are very attractive. Sports people and elite businessmen are clear winners for women if you like either of those.tl;dr>spend time with women in general, more time, more women>how? why? idk socialize whatever>test waters see if any seem interested, ask "what do you do?">if you don't get a clear "yes" when you ask to take up more of their time just move the fuck on reallyAlso if there are a group of girls do not set your sights on one. Just appear available to them all and one of them will help you out/help their friend out. Just spend fucking time with people and follow their natural inclinations.
There's deeper theories about compatibility. If you're risk averse or shy then perhaps try for a very sociable or braver woman. You'll be satisfied with a partner that shows you what you're missing in life. "Only a shut-in loser could understand me since I'm a shut-in loser" is a bad way of thinking. Women do it too sometimes when the vain attractive super social chick wants a similarly vain attractive super social man because this woman in question wants a status symbol and not deeper fulfillment
I'm trying to figure out how to guarantee a ADHD diagnosis and get prescribed Adderall without getting labeled as drug seeking in my EMR/EHR.A few months ago I had obtained a "sample" and it absolutely blessed me when it came to getting a specific score on a specific test. NGL I have been chasing the dragon ever since but with the job I'm trying to get I've gotta follow the rules and bend over like a good boy.
>>34097943Funny that you are trying to speedrun me getting drug-seeking indicator.this board used to be filled with real ass niggas with motion. idk what happened to it.
>>34097693........................................................I KNOW EXACTLY THE WAY! GO SEEK A PSYCHIATRIST!
>>34097693Have adhd, recommend trying adderall or vivance
>>34098035Nigger it’s true. Drugs for mental shit are handed out like candy in the US. The only drugs they’re strict about are opioids.
>>34101201You're 12 and can't comprehend anything meaningful so much so that you're too stupid to differentiate medicine and "drugs" (insinuating hard drugs being the same is comically retarded btw) >>34098035You aint alone G, not just this board either. We got a hoard of D. Krugers and Suckas with no brain in they silly ass head. One marker you can say that will help is Doom Piles. You keep making hella piles of all your shit everywhere because you can't focus. I'm in the same boat as you, except it took me 20 fucking years to figure out I've been a undiagnosed ADHD mess now I need to figure a way to stay focused to navigate a confusing system to aquire the 1 thing that will let my brain heal. Not a single midwit who's against medication knows that you aren't on meds forever and you get weaned off once your neural receptors regenerate from the assist that the medication gives.
is it bad that i recently broke up with my boyfriend of 2 years and now im talking to like 4 guys? we broke up in october and on christmas eve i saw him with another guy. i don’t know if it’s some kind of revenge thing but it’s nice sexting and talking. i’ve considered getting drunk at a gay bars/clubs and seeing what happens. anyways is it too soon?
>>34099965You won't find love, if you don't love yourself.Jumping the gun will have it blow up in your face.Limerence is not the same as love, you should know someone for a while before you date them.
>>34099965he had told me that if it 5-8 months, if i wanted, i could try again but it don’t think it would be the right decision to continue a relationship again with him but it’s the only thing keeping me going :/
>>34099965he dodged a bullet
Why do you even care, you clearly didn't give a fuck about sexting behind his back but now that they're gone you're all sad? You're part of them problem.
>>34099965It's very normal for women and fags to move on very quickly
This ones for the LADIES! This is a thread dedicated to women seeking men.
>>34097530Well, I hope you're both happy. You did bear him children, right?
>>34097488hello sufemacist i love you

I don't know how to improvise in social situations. I'm overly worried about embarrassing myself. I don't trust my intuition. Usually I only talk to people when I need to, in a very direct way. I'm never comfortably sure about the untold elements of social interaction. If I'm invested on it, I will try to find explanations to logically support my intuitive perception, but I always end up with at least three different competing narratives in my head about "what she meant by this." Sometimes I act, based on the narrative that sounds the most solid or how I'm feeling that day, but it's normally some very low risk, baby steps, overthought, super abstract action towards a goal that I would only realistic reach in like 10 years if people are willing to wait 10 years for me. Old friends and relatives do, but it turns out girls aren't that patient. I've never been in a relationship, always fumbling it in the talking stage, if not in the starring stage already.This risk aversion only seems to be this bad for social interactions because I'm quite impulsive with other stuff and I'm frequently making mistakes in my life or radical changes for the better or the worse.What can I do about this? Is it even solvable at this point or do I have to accept that as part of my established personality?
simply get a retail job and this will probably all go away
>>34097123Why? I already have to regularly interact face to face with different people because of the stuff that I do. I don't have a problem communicating if that's the implication. It only becomes a problem if it could cross personal life territory.
>>34097109The most immediate advice is to go to therapy so they can help you build a framework for not catastrophizing situations and for learning to be okay with the unknown.The “Opposite Day” episode of Seinfeld is a hilarious example of how going for things on a whim and not getting stuck in your own head can actually lead to better outcomes.I used to have the same problem until I realized there are people with very little social awareness who still manage to socialize just fine, even if they trip over their words or have no filter at all.
bump
>>34097109Embarrassment is a feeling not a tangible thing that can be thrust upon you without your consent.Practice with low stakes interactions. Women you're probably never going to see again.
