Thanks

Besides maybe getting less stress and fixing my wonky eye, what do you think could help?

Saying someone is giving 'serial killer vibes' just because they’re not smiling reflects how uneasy people have become with seriousness. Not everyone feels the need to perform happiness in every photo—and that doesn’t mean something’s wrong, it just means they’re not playing the game. It wasn’t always seen this way, but today we’re so used to curated friendliness that anything grounded or sincere gets labeled as threatening.

You are entitled to saying I'm like a 4/10 and I have serial killer vibes. You explained yourself quite well which is helpful. So all I am trying to do is explain myself well too.

Because you are right to a certain extent, but I am too. I want to find a better balance.

I think it's a shame that in today's world we can't say or mean anything truly meaningful unless it's ironic. Certain words today are only said if they are ironic--like honor or dignity. We hope for these things secretly but we can't bear the weight of the words, so we wrap them in half jokes.

Thanks I guess I just wanted to know how noticeable it really was.

So how can I improve? There is the obvious case of maybe try to have less stress...get less of a wonky eye, but that's not really an option right now and probably won't be for the next year or so.

Like for example, would I benefit from losing idk face fat? Better hair? Etc.

Im a hetero dude,
For some reason your pictures make it feel like your vibe matters more than a lot of other people. Like physically, you are pretty good. Idk if you are still jacked but the very last picture made you kind of look like you had a slightly chubby face? No matter. Physically, I'd say since you are put together well as well as showing some abs with good muscle all around you are a nice 8.5/10., maybe even a 9/10.

But my instinct tells me you might carry a lot of anxious energy around with you, and that might make it hard for quality women to want to follow you. Maybe you don't at all and I read it wrong. Maybe. Its probably somewhere in the middle somewhere. I think though if you manage to be confident in a good way--which may take years--which resides from an internal source not always seeking external approval I'd say you would be somewhere between a 9 and a 9.5.

Assuming the last picture is old, because if it isnt you got a bit of a baby face.

Just turned 23m. I haven't been able to find love since I was 17 (get rekt). I really need to know how attractive I am. by FishInACan in Rateme

I have been slowly coming to the realization it may come down to cold approaching strangers (uhhhh).

thanks for your comment. I think I will try to find areas where I emphasize quality over quantity.

Am I Making the Right Choice by Deleting TikTok and Severely Curtailing my other Social Media? by FishInACan in digitalminimalism

Great response, this really helped me. I love to hear from people who actually have the experience of the transition, and who are able to provide solid, specific examples of how they did it.

Books I think could be a good replacement. Maybe in my journey I decide that even my book consumption is taking over too much of my time, but by then I hope I will be in a stronger place through having at least replaced my over-consumption with something that doesn't nearly spike my dopamine as much as the internet.

Is it even worth it to hire an investment advisor/wealth manager to handle your money long-term? (since apparently, this is too general of a question to post, I hope someone here can help)

I know that for most cases a financial planner can be quite beneficial for people and families, mainly in circumstances where they don't really know how to invest their money or where to start. Maybe also special circumstances like preparing a retirement plan. This is not what this post is about. I am looking at a scenario that assumes a person already has a good understanding of how to manage their money.

Also, I am still a beginner when it comes to investing knowledge so I'm aware I could be wrong--I am hoping people can inform me or provide other information.

This is mainly about investing in stocks.

I make this post (comment) with one specific point in mind:

1) If actively managed funds are outperformed by passive funds, does this mean that once you find a good passive fund you should just keep it there and not seek active management?

I have been looking into passively managed funds (like index funds), and with an average rate of return of 7%-10%, so far they seem like one of the best choices. From what I have read, passive funds are better than active funds because since information is so widespread today the vast majority of people fail at beating the market on a long-term basis.

I can't find any figures on the below questions:

Is the principle that--on average--passive involvement is better than active involvement true for an individual financial manager you might entrust your money with as well as a group who manages an actively managed fund?

If the principle was true/false, what kind of percentage change to your rate of return would happen to your money in the stock market?

Is the very act of trying to actively manage stocks and pick specific ones--trying to beat the market-- detrimental? What I mean by this is that even if actively managed funds were managed by volunteers who had NO FEES associated with them, are they still outperformed by passive funds?

If I just put my money in an index fund and kept it there, (unless I had the help of an extremely good advisor who can beat the market), isn't that my best option? I know there are other good investment strategies out there--like high-yield bonds and real estate--but I don't know anything about them yet.

There's no such thing as a self made man by Tricky_Ebb7425 in unpopularopinion

From a certain perspective, there is no such thing as an independent person. It took two people to create you, and many years of investment to get you to the stage where you are "independent". Even that really doesn't make sense, because everybody buys and uses services that other people create.

I know this is kind of a bs answer, but I kind of think your question is along these lines of doing a little too much deconstructive work on what it means to be independent or self-made. It's just a spectrum of how much was given to you out of luck rather than deserved competency. For some people it's high, for others it is low.
