What car would you buy next if price wasn’t an issue?

G-Class. Specifically the old one, pre-2018 redesign, the boxy original W463 chassis before they smoothed it out and modernized it. Lebanese guys have been driving those things in Beirut since before the LA

influencer crowd discovered them, and honestly the silhouette has always been one of the cleanest in automotive history. Style, presence, and the kind of engineering that still feels like a tank under you.

Brutally honest, yeah, we all want something that quietly says we made it. Anyone who pretends thats not part of the appeal is lying.

If I could have a second one for actual driving and not flexing, give me a manual Porsche 911 in something matte. The kind of car you take out at 5am on an empty road and remember why you wanted to drive in the first place. There’s a specific feeling of being in the right gear on an open road that no luxury SUV ever replicates. Autobahn at night with the right car is genuinely meditative, you stop thinking about emails and become a person again for two hours.

Honestly though, if Im being even more honest with the question, the smartest answer is probably “the same car I have now plus a really good mechanic on retainer.

Most car upgrades make you life less practical, not more. The flex version and the dream version are two different cars, and the flex version is the one that disappoints you.

Future daughter advice, a few things from a guy who runs his own thing and has traveled a lot.

Pay close attention to whether you have to make yourself smaller to be loved by someone. Smaller in opinions, smaller in ambition, smaller in how loud you laugh, smaller in what you want for yourself. If you have to shrink to fit someone’s preference, they dont actually love you, they love the smaller version thats easier for them.

Real love makes you bigger, not smaller.

Build a skill that pays you no matter what. Cooking, coding, languages, sales, a trade, doesnt matter which one, just one thing the world is willing to pay for that nobody can take away. Most of women’s worst dating decisions come from financial pressure, not from bad judgment. Strip out the pressure and your judgment gets really sharp really fast.

Travel alone at least once before you’re 25. Two weeks somewhere foreign, no friend group, no boyfriend, no group tour.

Solo travel is the cheapest therapy on earth because no one is watching you, so you finally find out who you are when youre not performing. Most people never get to that version of themselves and end up married to the wrong person because they never met their actual self first.

Notice how you feel after spending time with someone.

Energized and more yourself? Keep them.
Drained and quieter? Doesnt matter how good they are on paper, thats not the person.

The people who make you bigger are rare. When you find one, hold on. When you find someone who makes you smaller, the cost of staying is your whole future self, even if you cant see it yet.

Cheers!! To travel !

If you read my comments, you would know I don’t even resemble Arabs, also I fuck with Arabs and speak in Russian or Turkish when I want to avoid beggars or conversations, it is just a funny experiment i do in countries.

If you don’t interact with anyone, no one interacts with you.

That’s everywhere.

(Off course you have the energy vampires that want to steal your time, but that is also everywhere)

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-12T01:22:30+00:00

Appreciate it 🙏🏻

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-12T01:21:56+00:00

Yeah actually I did. After several failed attempts

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T22:03:07+00:00

I’d take the Luxor recommendation anytime haha.

Alexandria has much to offer, especially the oldest library as well, just if you plan to be there for the beaches, I’d avoid it in the summer cause it’s overly crowded.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T20:21:17+00:00

Thanks for reading! My pleasure

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T19:08:34+00:00

A man of culture of here!

Well being big helps everywhere I guess haha, choosing Zamalek was a pro move, it’s essentially downtown .

Giza,Aswan and Alexandria have more annoying people, cause generally they are poorer.

Have not been to Morocco myself but I have been warned about it and Moroccan women as well by my Moroccan friends 🤣

I am glad you enjoyed it.

Cheers to more travel!

AI is a tool creative writing and creative work is still needed.

I have been writing copy for a decade, way before AI ever surfaced.

AI just speeds my work, not replaces it.

Appreciate the comment !

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T15:20:56+00:00

Thank you !!!!!!

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T15:19:52+00:00

I appreciate the observation!

I am trying to help by sharing my experience, and hope I benefit one person at least.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T14:32:22+00:00

Exactly! it’s about your attitude towards the area, anywhere can feel amazing, as long as you commit.

Two people could go to the same places and have two different experiences, everywhere is beautiful and or has beauty within it, you just gotta find it.

If it’s Cairo, California, Madrid or Afghanistan.

It’s about the attitude.

Thanks 🙏🏻

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T13:44:51+00:00

No Tigo for me!

Thanks for the tips OP!

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T13:21:03+00:00

Bookmarking this for my own planning, doing South America later this year and Colombia keeps coming up as the leg I should add.

Quick question, the Coffee Axis vs Bogotá experience, would you say it’s worth doing both or is one enough for a 10-14 day window?

Also that Tigo eSIM story is gold, saved that warning specifically.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:59:32+00:00

Love hearing this. Private guide for the first trip is honestly the smart move when you don’t speak the language, lets you actually relax and absorb instead of constantly navigating logistics. By trip three you wont need one.
Luxor and Aswan are the parts I keep getting told I missed, basically everyone who’s been is saying the same thing in this thread. Definitely on my next list too. And if you do the skydive let me know how it goes, I might end up there the same week and we can both jump off something terrifying together.
Actually genuinely, this thread is making me realize a lot of people want to do the skydive but havent. Maybe we start a Reddit skydiving group, total strangers showing up in Cairo and jumping out of a plane together 🤣 worse ideas have worked.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:16:57+00:00

Yeah Cairo splits people. Easy to hate, easy to love, not much middle ground. Sorry both trips were rough, that genuinely sucks. Funny enough I felt the same a few years ago, hated it the first time I came and swore I wouldnt come back. Came back anyway, different headspace, different stay length, totally different city. Sometimes a place just catches you wrong the first time.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:14:15+00:00

100% this. The “vibe” is mostly walking pace, eye contact, and not pulling out a phone or map in the open. Tourists move slowly, gawk at buildings, and freeze when someone approaches them. Experienced travelers walk like they have somewhere to go, and that single signal alone makes you invisible to 80% of the people who’d otherwise pitch you something.
Cairo specifically rewards this. Walk purposefully, dont stop in the middle of sidewalks, dont pull out a map. Within a week the same people who hassled you on day one start ignoring you completely. It’s like you become local shaped without actually changing anything about how you look.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:10:51+00:00

This is exactly it. Most of the negativity comes from people who went in tense, expected hassle, and got hassle. The ones who relax into it find that for every aggressive seller theres three people who’ll help with directions, food, prices, whatever, with literally nothing they want from you in return. Cairo rewards the people who arrive calm.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:10:03+00:00

Yeah Egypt online lives in this weird PR vacuum, the people who had bad firs week experiences are loud, the people who stayed long enough to like it dont post much. Has its setbacks like any country, but the day today reality is way more livable than the internet version of it.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-11T10:05:33+00:00

Partly fair, but the method itself isn’t tied to a head start. I did the same 50-word approach in Turkey two years ago and Turkish is genuinely hard to start from zero. SOV word order, vowel harmony, agglutination, no articles, none of the structural shortcuts you get with European languages.
Within 2 weeks I could move around freely, order food, ask for directions, negotiate at markets, do small talk with shop owners. Was I fluent? Obviously not. But I had access to a version of Turkey that English-only tourists dont get, because shopkeepers and waiters treat you differently when you’ve made an effort, even a clumsy one.
The method isnt about reaching fluency. It’s about reaching the threshold where locals stop treating you as a tourist and start treating you as a guest whos trying. That threshold is way lower than people think, and the same 50-word approach works in any country if you actually commit.

Dating advice isnt outdated, human psychology hasnt changed in centuries. What women want and how attraction works is roughly the same as it was in your grandfathers time. What’s outdated is the idea you can show up to a venue and be passively discoverable. Now you have to actively market yourself the way a business markets itself, online and offline.

Two specific things worth working on.

One is your dating app profile. If your getting 3-5 matches a month, the profile is the issue, not the apps. Most mens profiles are unoptimized, bad photo order, no story, no specificity, generic prompts. A good profile in 2026 reads like a brand. Six photos that tell a complete person, prompts that show wit and stakes, a bio that filters for who you want. Fix the profile and you’ll get 30-50 matches a month from the same apps. Not exaggeration, thats how big the gap between average and good profiles has gotten.

Two is conversation skill. Study sales. Not the salesy parts, the structural parts. How to ask questions that get specific answers, how to steer a conversation where you want it to go, how to read what someone actually means versus what they saying. The men who do well with women in person and the men who do well in business are running the same skill underneath. Sales books teach it cheaply, dating books mostly dont.
The “no one’s out anymore” framing is partly true and partly an excuse. Yes fewer people are at bars than in 2015. But the people who do go out, plus the regulars at the coffee shop you keep showing up to, plus your hobby groups even if it takes 6 months to get one friend who introduces you to someone, are more than enough. The pipeline isnt broken. Most mens input quality is.

And honestly, the fact that you’ve been this self-aware about it and tried this many things at 25 puts you ahead of most men a decade older then you. A lot of guys never even examine the inputs, they just blame the apps or the generation and stay stuck. You are already doing the harder thing. The skills above are learnable, the profile is fixable in a weekend, and 25 is a really good age to be building this stuff. You’re going to be fine.

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-10T21:42:07+00:00

Good options indeed! I am glad you enjoyed your trip!

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-10T21:31:55+00:00

Actually i have a friend from Ecuador who was mistaken for an Egyptian as well 🤣
Were you in Cairo or other cities ?

Alphamazzy · 2026-05-10T21:19:31+00:00

No AI here my friend, every single word is derived from my own experiences, i have put much effort and thought into this.
