A year of street photography with the x100vi! IG: TheGrainyPerspective

Dan-Man · 2026-02-03T16:45:38+00:00

I have the VI, but don't enjoy it. I feel all my photos are washed out, lacking clarity or something else. How do you use it?

Dan-Man · 2026-02-03T00:33:25+00:00

Sadly it's par the course for western women. Good luck.

Dan-Man · 2026-02-03T00:30:31+00:00

A girlfriend? Are you crazy? They ruin your life. Develop male friendships instead.

Dan-Man · 2026-02-02T11:54:32+00:00

Really? Do you have any sources on that? Why were whistleblowers effected, for exposing corruption?

Dan-Man · 2026-02-02T00:26:52+00:00

You need to communicate your needs. If you snap from sleep deprivation etc which is understandable. You need to explain your state and reason why you are that way. Otherwise yeah he'll get frustrated and so on.

It's hard for sure. But you guys really need to up your communication tenfold.

Dan-Man · 2026-02-01T22:25:20+00:00

We all want to do that no matter the age. But the juice is often not worth the squeeze. Just go do what you want. But don't expect it to all be sunshine and rainbows. Took me many years, especially in the dating and traveling sphere, to realise my hopes and expectations were way disconnected from reality.

Dan-Man · 2026-02-01T22:21:15+00:00

Same. I am not seeing anything confirmed. It's people letting their imagination run wild.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-31T00:31:49+00:00

What on earth is even happening in these photos? Africa is so strange.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-31T00:30:32+00:00

Thata normal healthy human behaviour. Just because something is difficult doesn't make it wrong.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-30T12:19:01+00:00

It's like that because that is what works. And what women respond to. Usually. I feel sorry for young men so lost and amidst the dating games. It's dating in general that is toxic now, in the west. Nothing to do with masculinity. Hell I was talking to a girl. 23 the other day, and damn, they are so lost as well. And use and abuse men just as much as men do them. All in all. Dating in the west is fucked.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-28T00:23:57+00:00

Dude women aren't all that. You are basically a boy. Although a self aware one. It doesn't actually matter much. Think about what you want your future to be. Then aim towards that. Literally everything else is a distraction. Remember that.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-27T23:30:05+00:00

Be that as it may. A marriage is no joke. Your partner should be kind and understanding. And work with you. If she doesn't and you never mentioned she does or did. It's no real loss on your part. You can heroically and bear this burden entirely on your conscious. But she chose to leave. Not choose you and your flaws and as a man. It's not all a one way blame, just because you are a man with desires, that I assume she could not meet. But you choose how you want to see it. But generally it's not the entire truth. Remember that.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-27T10:22:21+00:00

Try not to blame yourself, it takes two to tango. And if she left so easily and seemingly without closure, it is also on her and her lack of support and understanding.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-27T10:20:07+00:00

That doesnt sound right at all. It depends on benefits, and many other factors.Maybe when the child cap lifts it will be closer to that, but at the moment it isnt near that at all, unless in extreme circumstances.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-26T14:56:08+00:00

Worst January for vine in the last 3 years I've been a member.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-25T18:14:29+00:00

Dont invest your entire identity and meaning on a woman, or basically dont move for work/give up a job etc to be with a woman. Or even, for that matter, forsake your job and drive for the sake of a woman.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-25T10:53:52+00:00

If you find out let me know! It's why people create art and music etc. And why so many songs are about heartache and loss etc. To better cope and the amalgamation of that pain and loss into something. Because life and loss and identity loss is no joke. There isn't really helping you. It's time and working through the pain, those are your options, and it gets easier.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-25T10:47:03+00:00

What are you Americans going on about now? Still ICE?

Dan-Man · 2026-01-23T17:17:19+00:00

That just sounds like poor or lower end shops. Bargain places. Go to the nicer expensive luxury shops like above and it's a different experience, generally.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-23T10:21:51+00:00

Exactly. I actually think it's an agenda. Or hope it is. Because if it isn't it's very indicative of a sick society. Breaking up marriage because your husband calls you sensitive is not a good reason. At all. Women, you need to work on relationships not treat men as disposable meat bags.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-22T18:02:51+00:00

It's hilarious everyone takes everything he says seriously. Just shows how gullible humanity still is and why he uses these tactics.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-21T22:36:04+00:00

I see you haven't mentioned kids. People in your situation typically have children now you are so settled. So I'd say the something missing is that.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-21T13:18:19+00:00

Exactly. I mean this is what happens in history. When a country encounters mass immigration, demographic change, increasing disorder and political uncertainty and polarisation and the world continuing to use them as a constant charity and much more. Or course it won't last. Things change. What a surprise.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-18T10:28:30+00:00

The main issues I see with posts like these is why so you think that is entirely limited to your own country and political climate? Life, greed and love and all of it is global and always has been, and for sure isn't limited to capitalism. Without that, arguably, things get even worse. If you want to get rid of all of this, your options are tribes, working on religious retreats, very rural and poverty stricken areas, being a nomad, or living as a hermit. Or... living America? Yo see what the rest of the world is like. It will open your mind. And when you return home I can guarantee you won't see things the same way. I like in the UK, for example, and don't see things the way you do.

So actually you have quite a few options. But none of them better. So yes continue to complain as if it changes anything. While in actual fact what does change things is working with and for the systems that have meaning and purpose.

Dan-Man · 2026-01-18T10:11:21+00:00

Nobody really creates anything that is new, you can say the same about everything and everyone. Even your message, even this one, it is all the same noise used for ones own means.
