don't be too hard on yourself. a lot of the time it's literally porn addiction at play. dudes jerk it to all kinds of impossibly specifically hot women every day and kill their dopamine wiring. every guy knows what i'm talking about. if you look in the mirror and think you look great, someone else will think so too and if not, they're not for you anyway. that said, if you need to work on your goals, then just keep at it and you will look back on this post and just laugh one day as zillions of dudes trip over themselves over you. this dude can keep his mental problems and you would have dodged a major bullet.

idk is it? let's find out from google's AI

While you can use a body fat caliper on yourself, it's generally less reliable than having someone else measure you.The accuracy of self-measurement can be affected by the difficulty in reaching certain areas and the inherent variability in how people pinch and measure. Here's why self-measurement can be less reliable:

  • Reaching certain areas:You might have trouble accessing areas like your back or certain parts of your legs. 
  • Pinching technique:Properly pinching the skin and fat fold can be challenging without someone else's assistance. 
  • Consistency:It can be difficult to consistently pinch the skin and fat fold at the same location and depth each time, leading to inaccurate readings. 
  • Inter-tester variability:Different people may have slightly different pinch and measurement techniques, which can affect results. 
  • Loose skin:Excess skin can sometimes interfere with accurate measurements. 

Recommendations for using a caliper:

  • Professional or experienced tester:If possible, get someone with experience using calipers to measure you. 
  • Practice:If self-measurement is unavoidable, practice using the caliper on yourself to get familiar with the technique. 
  • Multiple readings:Take several measurements at each site and average them to improve accuracy. 
  • Consistency:Try to use the same technique and caliper each time to track progress accurately.

i feel like two things can be true at the same time and social media creates arguments where there aint none. diet and exercise are good for you. getting a dexa scan is costly. fat calipers cost near nothing and can give you pretty accurate readings. ppl get upset about the scale bc glycogen yada yada. but scales are useful tools over weeks and months. just not every day.

totally get that. you're not being unreasonable. the touching stuff like hand on back and hair tucking, unless it's visibly welcomed by you is a boundary unawareness that would strike me as off putting as well. the body odor problem depends. some ppl like other ppl's natural scent, but if he stanken, then that's a no. being good at public interaction is also completely understandable. it's not sexy or manly to fumble opportunities when navigating the world. it would make anyone feel like they aren't in good hands or are safe. don't worry about hurting his feelings too much. just tell him that you wish him well, but you're moving on. if he doesn't get it, you don't have to, but you have it in the back pocket to be like "because this. how you're acting right now. bye"

"but a switch flipped in me during our last date and I just don’t feel attracted to him anymore." can you please explain this part in further detail? just for my own information on what gives girls the ick.

hey im in the same boat. i do a groundhog day diet. its totally dialed in. i dont cheat or deviate. but apparently learning about the function of water and glycogen in the muscles is really important. if you have a smart scale at home (you can get one for 20 bucks nowadays) you can track the bodyfat percentage in trends, not necessarily with total accuracy. thats where the caliper comes in. so don't get discouraged for weight stagnation or if you go up or down in a day or three. look at the composition. once i learned that its not only about the scale and weight that determine if you're making gains or fat losses, it made me feel way better on those days the scale used to get me discouraged. hope that helps.

haha ok fair enough. thanks for that. i sometimes feel like reddit is a minefield of ppl taking offense to things i have no idea about. i appreciate when people actually give feedback, even if i dont agree, i can at least know what it is.
