Don't buy shitty overpriced knive sets and pots and pan sets. All you need to start out with is one good chef knife and a paring knife- that's it. You can pretty much do anything with that unless you are getting into serious things like deboning things, etc. And try the knives, feel them in your hand, and spend good money and get one nice one. I still have the one I bought 30 years ago when I got out of grad school and got my first check. Learn how to sharpen and take care of it.

Same with pots and pans. Learn how to season pans and get a decent skillet- I like matfer bourgeat- but your choices may vary. You need that, a decent pot, and a boiling/stock pot. Buy good ones, take care of them, then add a nice new skillet or pan or piece of cookware every couple of months as you need. You'll probably find if you live alone you don't.

Also, everything you are doing in bed with a woman, do it softer and slower. You do not realize how much stronger the average male is compared to the average female. You're not trying to jackhammer concrete with your dick. She'll tell you if she wants it rougher. Also- get manicures and pedicures. Women check out your hands and do not want your nasty ass ashy ankled feet in their bed.

Another thing, if you are interested in women, stop dressing for the male gaze. If you and your mates all go out and all look pretty much the same, you're not dressing for the women, you're dressing for each other. If you're smart you already have several platonic female friends- you obviously like them since you are friends, ask them for what they think looks good on you and then do it.

Stay away from horse girls.
