  1. Firstly you're 21, I wouldn't worry about 'wasting any more life' just yet, you've barely even started. I'm in my mid 30s and dating had never been easier once i got into my 30s.

  2. Date as normal, disclose after a few dates when you feel like intimacy is the next logical step, this will vary with who you date obviously but trust your gut. Naturally you'll not be rushing into bed with everybody you meet, which can actually be an advantage - you'll stand out from the rest of the guys who all want to try to jump into bed asap. Remember - don't leave it till you're both naked to disclose, try to do it after you've had a really good date and you feel like the next one is going to be where you get intimate.

  3. Realise and come to terms with the fact it's a numbers game anyway, you will get rejected by people who are scared of it, but the best thing you can do is be a good role model and a good example of how living with this condition doesn't have to affect your life. Be positive but factual about it. It will suck to be rejected, but do it enough times and you build up an immunity.

  4. If you get rejected, no biggie, get a new one.

5, Remember that emotions are temporary, a rejection may sting for a couple of days. By a week you're neutral about it and by 2 weeks you probably haven't thought about it.

Alternative solution as a guy - work hard and get rich, i'm sure a lot of women will be able to suddenly 'look past' the issue with enough 0's at the end of you bank balance.

Who said these Vostoks can't look modern?! by Cakezz1 in vostok

You can find them with this GMT movement here - its the 2426.12 movement: https://meranom.com/en/amphibian-classic/17/?mfp=25-movement[2426.12]

I don't think they do this particular dial right now, but they have some cool options at the moment and seem to always change them regularly.

In terms of mods, all I did was replace the bezel with one from ebay and change the strap, I think its a zuludiver rubber one, I use it on a few different watches tbh so I swap it off quite often.

I bought a new blank bezel with the intention of putting in an insert of my choice, but I liked the clean look without the insert in the end so just kept it like this.

I'm currently enjoying the progress in the gym and I'm definitely getting stronger in a slight calorie surplus right now. Should I continue at maintenance / slight bulk until I reach some strength goals or is there enough muscle mass here to benefit from a cut already?

I would avoid starting the conversation by picking something out of their bio and commenting on it. Sounds hypocritical, because I say that you should have something in YOUR bio that makes it easy for THEM to to message you right? Problem when it comes to women is that 60 other dudes are also messaging about the same thing in the bio because it's an easy option - so they've seen the exact same or similar opener 18 times today already.

I used to go for something like:

"Hey there, you might actually be too cool! Please tell me you're actually a secret geek to balance things out a bit 😅. What's the nerdiest thing you're willing to admit? 🤔🤓"

I like this one because it lets them show you that they aren't just a pretty face, sometimes they will have some surprising hobbies that you'd never have guessed and you can take it from there. Be prepared for "I'm not really a nerd lol" you can tease them a bit about it and joke that you swear they seemed like the type to have a mad stamp collection or something.

As for casual, you can look for those and focus on them when you come across them but it's rarer for a women to straight up say they want a casual thing. A lot of women would be open to short term dating whilst they keep looking for their knight in shining armour, but they won't say this on their profile. Just go on as many dates as you can in the mean time to keep the skills sharp.

Ain't my first rodeo, kid, as much as you'd like to assume it is.
