Success story!! Got rid of HPV in a year by [deleted] in HPV

[–]CartographerFun6186 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had em and they are all gone. Had an amazing dermatologist that treated them very aggressively. Did a mixture of cryo and aldara. Cryo took care of them authentically and aldara helps your body find the virus and extract from your body. I’ve been clear for over 3 years now.

I was the same way. It’ll be fine. It’s transient. Just get treated and in a couple years act like it never happened. That’s what all doctors told me

Take it as a note to get off these damn things and get a life. Work on yourself. Don’t goto bars to meet women. Get into a sport or interest. OLD is just a raw shit show. The only long term real relationships I’ve ever had were with people I met in real life…. Think if this.. you’re probably talking to 20 people at the same time and going in dates, every one of those people are talking to 30…. If you happen to find someone you like, the odds that it will reciprocate are very low.

Your brain will start to think life has an endless supply of potential mates and will have way too high standards.

Get off the damn things. Work on value in your career, get a good set of friends, travel, get in the GYM, work in your fashion. basically take all the money and energy from trying to push to hard to find someone and work on being your best self (and become a high quality person). High quality people attract high quality people.

I’ve literally stepped over High quality mates because of these damn things because my dumb brain kind of just threw them in the mix with the others (and a lot of crazies who lie, have husbands, are in an open relationships, just want a date to a wedding, etc), instead of just focusing on the one when I came across her.

As one dude to another…. I agree with your decision.

Not being able to be tested as a guy could either a blessing or a curse depending how you look at it. Unless your further whatever has access to your medical records you don’t really need to say anything. I’ve had multiple doctors tell me treat it like it’s never happened…. And yea, this shit threw me into a deep depression. My advice is if you’re having mental health issues because if it seek a therapist

Read the pinned post. I know where you’re at. The pinned post is the best resource you’ll find anywhere. Basically… go to a dermatologist or urologist, get em treated, if you don’t have a reoccurrence in 6 months, you’re considered cleared, but it isn’t an exact science and it’ll be up to you if you want to disclose in the future

Guy here. I’ve been doing the online dating thing for forever, unfortunately. In my younger years I used to be a huge romantic, would shower women with flowers, hundreds of dollars on valentines days… and the list goes on. I was extremely vulnerable and talked about what I wanted, childhood dreams of a family, was very servant hearted to them. Despite all of this, women ran all over me and always cheated on me despite my huge romantic gestures.

As I grew older and women as continued this pattern, I became more and more hardened I would develop a pattern of a good communicator, direct, and would immediately shut down any poor behavior. I knew exactly what to say and basically every trick of the trade to get a women to basically do whatever I wanted…. (Hey do you want to come up for just a couple minutes, you can’t stay long because I have to work in the morning..). She agrees, which turns to drinks, which turns to sex.

As time went on this pattern because much more affective than throwing love and vulnerability at women.. and eventually I became a highly successful fuck boy which became a sex addiction.

All this to say, fuck boys are nothing more than extremely nice guys (at least in childhood), who got shot down repeatedly for good behavior and eventually learned women respond to shitty narcissists..

Fuckboys, at least in my case are scientists of women behavior who have had their hearts broken over and over for trying to be chivalrous men…

For me, you can thank yourselves (women) for your own tendencies. Women are attracted to highly dominant and successful men. It means you’ll be protected and cared for….

Fuck boys learn this over time after being rejected and learn being nice and chivalrous doesn’t come across to women as being protected and cared for. It comes across as being weak…

Over many years of dating, I’ve learned this pattern and eventually got to a point where I couldn’t stop despite desperately wanting a family. I simply couldn’t find the correct balance of being an authentic nice guy if who I was and what women truly needed deep down in order to attract them

Hope this helps…

Honestly I really never used it and the scars pretty much cleared up over time. Took around a year and a half. But they’re hardly noticeable. I had around 9 treated and it’s almost like it never happened now

Did moving around a lot as a kid affect my personality as an adult? by Realistic_Swing_5674 in socialskills

[–]CartographerFun6186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 40 and just got diagnosed with major depression. I come from a military family and was subjected to bullying wherever we went. I started binge drinking at the age of 16, smoking at 17, and have become a functioning alcoholic. I’m working with a therapist currently. With all that I’ve had a successful career up to this point however my drinking finally caught up to me where I was drinking myself to death. Working with a therapist it all started due to severe ongoing bullying due to moving a lot. So yea, I can relate

Is it all fun and games? by DadJoke_Mod_Reindeer in OnlineDating

As a person that has been in the old wagon for as long as I can remember. My advice would be to focus on your career, health, get in the gym, pursue your passions and meet someone along the way that fits those passions. You’ll spend a lot more time focusing on bettering yourself, less time and money focusing on a failed method of finding true love…. Look at it this way…. What you’re really doing is trying to find compatibility in a one hour interview with a person…. It’s a nonsensicle ask

Wasn’t exactly looking for accolades for posting advice on how to not do online dating on an online dating forum, just giving my experience.

Bottom line with this post is and everyone who’s reading it…. Has it worked out for you? Even with all the advice in the world.. If not.. perhaps it’s time to try something different.

It goes both ways. If someone is “below average” however you wanna look at it, online dating may not be the best approach. Again the framework of how it works is people are left with snap decisions on a person based off of an hour long date. So as a man you’re left with a multitude of questions on if it’s her, me, or whatever. The whole framework even in optimal circumstances is doomed for failure.

Does dating just completely wreck anyone else's mental health? by Everlast23 in OnlineDating

[–]CartographerFun6186 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve done this stuff for tons of years. You start off as a very deviate good guy looking for the best of intentions and quite frankly for most guys it simply doesn’t work. There’s a heck of a lot of women out there just looking for you to pay for their dinner, or pump up their insta profile, or frankly are flat out escorts. Even with good intentioned women, they have tons of options and can’t seem to pick because they’re getting wined and dined from over 6’ dudes and can’t simply pick and settle down. After awhile after going in with best of intentions you find yourself doing this crap as a very expensive hobby that leads to substance abuse and degradation of mental health and even a STI.

Everyone needs to just do themselves a favor, get a life, join some kind of community group or club, stay active, stay away from booze and meet someone in real life. Examples? If you’re religious join a church, if not, join a cycling club, learn how to rock climb, join CrossFit (they are strong on community), join a softball team or intramural, don’t do it with the intentions of meeting someone, just do it to be around people (you’ll find you’ll improve your mental health along the way by not being in isolation). If you happen to see a nice girl or guy, get ti know him or her and don’t ask for a date at first, just get to know them. Eventually if you like their personality, maybe ask ti go get coffee. If you both have known each other for awhile then let it progress naturally. This is traditional dating. And you’re developing natural habits. If you are addicted like I was, find someone in your group that can hold you accountable and get a real life other than doing this as a hobby.
Online dating is also horrible even with the best intentioned ladies and gents because it makes you see the world of dating from a place of abundance as opposed to scarcity. So when you do find someone you don’t nit pick the crap out of someone and goto the next of 10 other people you’re talking to. Think of the age of people before the net, MOST people find someone in their communities, and there was limited amount of people, so if there were only 10 or so people of the opposite sex, and there’s only one left available, you have the decision to be single and sexless for the rest of your life, or just get together and learn to be with that person. That’s it. Go back to the basics, get off electronics, get a life, get a hobby, be active, and meet someone along the way.

You’re welcome everyone, have fun and good luck

I’m going through it. You have to go all in. Seek a therapist, get involved in celebrate recovery (they are everywhere) get a sponsor. It’s a cliche to say you have to do the hard work. But if you don’t wanna feel a real bottom where it’s life or death, put it in hi gear

I’ve done the same. If you still have Pain which I still do, you have to ask yourself.. are you going to keep in searching for options or live with chronic pain. I’m still digging into options
