You are 100% right about this. In other words, your internal state attracts women the most. 💀💀💀

I'm just going off people I know, there aren't many who are single for months or years, you can generally sense it when someone lacks social experience to the extent that they are unable to find themselves a girlfriend.

What? Where did you get that metric from? 80% of men have a girlfriend or wife, It’s the 20% that doesn’t.

I strongly feel like we get the concept of "genuine friendship" through childhood, and It gets more difficult because of responsibilities, developed trauma, and just problems in general that make a joyful friendship harder to achieve. A genuine friend is someone who you share a large part of your brain with sorta speak, I know my closest friendships were with people who literally thought and looked like me in many ways. We had our differences, but we had the same humor and pretty much laughed at the same things, we liked spending time with each other. Actually, my best-ever friendship was years ago with a pair of twins, we just seemed to get along so well. We grew apart eventually and I still regret that to this day to some degree, I know they regret it too. What I hope Is that I will be able to find a friend or a group of friends that resembles the relationship I had with them. This is exactly what it looks like: What? You don't like specific examples? What's the point of being so theoretical, this is it. This is the harmony of two friends singing together on a road trip and what a genuine friendship looks like. Prove me wrong.

I just noticed some redness on my face I realized It was probably because benzoyl peroxide made my skin more prone to sun damage, I think I heard before that sunscreens are usually full of toxins. Unfortunately, I don't know squat about sunscreen and I don't feel like I need to study every part of human physiology, nutrition, and chemistry. So what are some great options? I trust Bryan Jonhson's protocol more than anything and he uses this one: https://www.amazon.com/EltaMD-Acne-Prone-Mineral-Based-Dermatologist-Recommended/dp/B002MSN3QQ?crid=VXXF0PSO5VXB&keywords=ultra+md&qid=1685386618&s=beauty&sprefix=ultra+md,beauty,202&sr=1-1&linkCode=sl1&tag=blueprint03d-20&linkId=55281f927fdacab9793b39f1914dc9f6&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl But it's very expensive

For example, If we didn't have YouTube shorts we wouldn't have Andrew Tate

Definitely get sunscreen. I really don't know about spending $100+ on skincare products though, people like Jason for example clear out their face for free, while others spend hundreds to get the same result. I would definitely try to improve my skin with diet and exercise first If I was more patient and wiser. Everyone will agree that exercise and sun exposure are healthy, so definitely do that. As for diet, yeah It's important but which diet do you adopt? what do you eat? do eggs give you acne? or perhaps oats? Is something secretly making you tired and eating away at your energy? Since I moved to my current diet my acne hasn't really gotten better, even though it is full of "healthy fats" and less than 25g of sugar. I also use that hydrating cleanser by CeraVe

It sucks and yet I’d argue YouTube shorts is the least toxic of all short content platforms, Instagram doesn’t even filter their comments, you can expect the most disgusting and derogatory comments to always be on top without exceptions. I think it’s better to use these apps in the browser of your mobile search engine instead of using the app, Instagram is slower in the browser which makes it less convenient to scroll. There are paid safari extensions that promise to eliminate shorts if you use YouTube in your browser but they don’t actually work. But I found one that works, I don’t know for how long It’s going to work however. https://apps.apple.com/hr/app/shorts-blocker-for-youtube/id6451330524 Picture from my device, as for feed videos I have them blocked for almost 4 years now on all my devices

Ambivert, I was a class clown throughout middle & elementary school, so I was very extroverted. I actually educated myself on the "class clown" stereotype and there are many cons to it. Today I don't really get tired of conversing with others but I have this habit of not liking myself when I'm around certain people that bring that class clown out of me, which is why I sometimes hold myself back. On the other hand, one of my favorite things when traveling is meeting other people, this is the thing that 100% makes or breaks any trip for me. I don't take in any lessons or experience any change in perspective from walking around and taking pictures for Instagram, like most people.

I wouldn't even think about using them either, but if you use any acne medication you will get burned in less than 30 minutes just standing in the winter sun, that's literally what happened to me. It doesn't sting, but the feeling is equivalent to having 4 hours of sleep. Then again I have very weird skin, It's very resistant to drying from usually very drying chemicals like benzoyl peroxide and retinol/adapalene but very sensitive to sun burns, shampoo, fragrances, perfumes, and shaving cream. I'll probably get that one, do you have any shampoo products too?

If life doesn't feel like a Coldplay song then you're living it Incorrectly The Instrumental is also nice, It's official.

You really have to be posting the most racist shit ever to be denied a job because of your YouTube channel.

Um... No... it takes about 80-100 days to replace every cell in your body.

If you're gonna try to convince people that sugar is healthy you're gonna have to scream it naked on the top of the Eiffel Tower with groundbreaking research shown on a huge OLED TV. What would the Candy Kingdom from Adventure Time think of you? You are just a plain murderer. This is your ideal diet, happy new year motherfucker!

Limit yourself to only a few fruits you are allowed to eat, high-fiber ones optimally. Or don't, limit your sugar intake to only fruits because as long as you're not a diabetic you don't have to restrain yourself too much. Some things including fruits are so sweet I don't need any discipline to resist them, like dates, everytime I see one of those I feel my teeth falling out. I don't believe in the idea of cheat meals, A bowl of ice cream will have the same effect on you regardless of how clean you usually eat, so these comments are somewhat dumb IMO. Because health is asymmetric, If you get it wrong you will suffer many consequences, but If you get it right you won't get many benefits. Not to mention that allowing yourself legroom means you will be less serious about this, degrading your discipline in the process. You won't experience guilt if you never allow yourself to indulge.

I use an instant pot for everything, you don't have to worry about sticking, and most importantly you have a lot of room to cook more than a day's worth of food which is the problem I have with pans, they're too small. So I would invest in an instant pot before buying a pan. Your profile picture gives me the creeps without sticking 😀

You should've tagged a real doctor @undeather

For most men it won't, are you telling me YOU can't do that? Most highly successful people are stupidly optimistic and completely Ignorant of how hard it is. So as soon as you typed "But" you already made a mistake.

Most men would actually be relieved to hear this because that's their ideal self anyway.

It's a joke. I'm just marveling at the wonderful ecosystem of health advice that anyone curious about health sees on the Internet. I'm already crazy, who am I supposed to believe? Let the man himself tell you.

My plate after not eating meat or dairy because of saturated fat and cholesterol, eliminating all vegetables because of defense chemicals, and all seed oils because they cause cancer and diabetes. (All of this is backed up by science and research)

I’ve been doing this since I was a kid, pretty sure I started because I narrated stories between lego bricks.

I transitioned to what most would call a healthy diet, I don't ever cheat on it besides when I go out, and even then I'm resistant. This food is just so far from palatable, and this really caught my attention today when a friend of mine said he couldn't finish the pizza he ordered but finished a huge bowl of ice cream and fruit because It's just that palatable. Popular bodybuilders today like Sam Sulek eat shitty foods only because they're hyper-palatable and easy to eat, not because they're higher in calories, you can eat the same amount of calories and macronutrients of healthy food in theory, but It's much harder. My appetite is killing me because It's so bad It's causing me malnutrition, some days It's not bad some days It's downright terrible like I'm living in Africa. Bad sleep causes my appetite to plummet, but I just can't control my sleep quantity at this time of my life. It doesn't help that I removed all forms of sugar besides blueberries and other types of berries, no bananas, apples or other forms of fruit. Now I'm second-guessing this decision. I accidentally posted this in the wrong section.

Did your sleep improve & have you noticed an increase in energy or libido? Ray Peat might be the antichrist of average health advice
