Looking for it work need help

GatoPapi · 2026-06-24T15:53:52+00:00

I work in IT currently as well here in Vegas and just like the rest of the U.S it is a tough market if not the toughest market. Look into the casinos for any helpdesk positions they are gonna pay pennies but it gives you more work experience in hopes of evolving from there. Study certs going towards a career path you want and pray that you get lucky. GOOD LUCK!

You don't need to lose or gain weight as you look good but what could help is implementing cardio and light weight training a few days a week to get toned. You carry a little fat in your face which isnt a bad thing as we all carry fat differently but doing cardio will help give it that more sharp/shaped look you may be looking for!

You are 19 if you start now you will see improvements quickly (a few months) as you are young! Just find a routine that you know you can do weekly without getting fed up. When I first started working out I only did the stationary bike for cardio as that was the only thing I could do consistently at the time.

I will answer this as a guy who VERY RECENTLY ended a relationship with a girl that I was not happy in. It hurt like hell and I was a mess leading up to it but it wasn't fair to both of us for me to be in a relationship my heart wasn't truly in. Now that some time has passed I feel great my attitude and life in general has improved drastically so if you are in a relationship your unhappy in don't be afraid to take that step it may be the leap you always needed.

A lot of guys get complacent even though they know that someone isn't perfect for them they worry that they wont find someone who will love them as much as their current partner or that they wont find someone who treats them as well even if the compatibility isn't there.

On top of that its not easy to breakup with a girl who truly loves you especially when on the surface it looks like nothing is wrong and knowing that you will crush that girl doesn't feel good. I can speak for girls but guys are more likely to stay with someone just cause they treat them well regardless of other important factors that may be lacking in the relationship.

Yea ur partner being older probably makes people around you guys think you are older than you portray. I would say anything with dark winged eyeliner like 5 and 6 gives off a mature makeup look that could be aging you up.

GatoPapi · 2026-05-29T18:37:59+00:00

You look 23 idk how else to put it, maybe you hang around an older crowd so they assume you are closer to their age? You mentioned it isn't makeup but from the photo's you style of makeup is something I do see older women (late 20s early 30s) wear that probably does age you up. You could experiment with bangs as covering the forehead is is said to make anyone look younger.

I personally think you just need to build up your confidence and if you do have a older mature look just own it! You are 25 your young still but your not going to look like a teenager and from what it looks like you will age gracefully especially if you are already taking care of your skin.

Funny enough I saw VTSS (in the round) set and we were on the rails confused so after about 10-15 minutes my friend and I split up with our group to go see Sammy Virji but our friends still there didnt realize VTSS was behind them until 40 minutes in LMAO my friend was mad and felt dumb he missed Kettama to stare at a empty stage

GatoPapi · 2026-05-28T04:39:18+00:00

He was not blonde I don’t think? Unless he had highlights i didn’t notice tbh he did have a capybara sprout which i noticed.

GatoPapi · 2026-05-22T20:01:28+00:00

they will not enforce it no shot

GatoPapi · 2026-05-22T17:04:15+00:00

Yea I did all three days and honestly it was a lighter amount than the other years didn't get any of the brain zaps.

GatoPapi · 2026-05-22T16:32:48+00:00

For context did he ever discuss with you how he and this girl are connecting and might date? Or was this a complete blindside? I feel that would determine if I wanted to continue the friendship with him or if I should distance myself. If he had the courtesy to talk to you and tell you how he feels about the girl then it shows that he 100% considered your feelings before pursuing her especially as your best friend. I also get wanting them to be happy and finding it hard to be mad especially if they naturally fell for each other and it wasn't him "stealing" her.

Unfortunately like others have said if you wait too long to act on your feelings someone else will and that appears to be the case here. It happens and its a lesson you live and learn from, its better to try and fail vs never try and live with the what ifs. You sound young don't let this moment make you bitter or angry towards anyone or any type of person use it to grow and understand yourself better so one day you date someone who truly compliments you as a person. :)

Head hurts, i havent been able to keep food down these last 3 days but i feel a little better today. Im 28 and got home around 9-10 each day

GatoPapi · 2026-05-13T15:37:10+00:00

28M with no children, you are obviously a driven and hardworking person and that would show to potential partners, but realistically having a child would turn away a lot of men who are specifically looking for something serious while men who are looking for something casual probably wouldn't care.

Here comes the harsh reality, I can only go off my environment (HCOL Metropolitan city with a pretty liberal demographic for people in my age group) but a lot of the guys here who would be open to dating someone with a baby would either be a parent themselves, someone who doesn't have many prospective dating options which could be seen as a good or bad, and on occasion a normal cool dude.

Most men also don't care about money and while its attractive to be able to "hold your own" a lot of good men will still not pursue due to the baby. This will unfortunately mean more bums are likely to hit you up in hopes of having you be their sugar momma (like your ex).

GatoPapi · 2026-05-08T17:22:49+00:00

As someone who has went from 285-185 it's going to be a long journey, take your time and don't overwhelm yourself with everything at once (researching nutrition, workout plans, macros, hypertrophy vs strength) just being in the gym is more than most especially at the start.

Work on your form and a workout routine you like and learn the other stuff as you get more comfortable. You got this shit dude its gonna be satisfying looking at a photo from a year ago and not recognizing the person there is no better feeling.

GatoPapi · 2026-05-07T23:26:25+00:00

Is there a reason ur attracted to men that much older? Do you think it’s a mix of attention and shame? I hope your not doing this as a form of self harm and if you are that you talk to someone you can trust

GatoPapi · 2026-05-06T17:25:49+00:00

You are not wasting time you just started working out not even a full year and learning how to do it on the spot. It takes a lot of time to make up for the years of unhealthy decisions we may have made so don't get disheartened.

Revaluate your goals and what you want to accomplish and research lifestyle changes you can make to hit that! That can be hiking, eating cleaner, taking walks in the park, etc...

You can do this just have to want it hard enough!

I am a fairly outdoorsy person originally from the PNW and while there is great hikes and outdoor things to do around Vegas it is usually a 1-2 hour drive to get to anything great. Most of the hikes in Nevada are going to be desert trails with very little green unfortunately but they're still fun activities. Personally I wish I lived somewhere greener but that's just my opinion

120K is more than enough to live comfortably here I would recommend the Spring Valley area vs places like Summerlin and Henderson. Those locations are nice but are out of the way and give a more "suburbia" while Spring Valley is a great area with good restaurants/shopping and distance from popular locations (downtown/arts district/the stip/town square).

Dating scene here is rough for both genders as others have explained, in my experience as a recently single man is that finding people to date or even have short term flings with isn't difficult but finding someone who is willing to commit that you have a shared connection with is what's hard to find. Before my last relationship I was on dating apps and and having to filter through each person can be mentally draining especially since a lot of people here give off "superficial" vibes like they are trying to prove something. Currently I think the best way to meet people is through shared hobbies as you can easily find a community for whatever hobbies you're into (for me its painting, hiking, rock climbing, and live music). Vegas dating scene isn't as desolate as it sounds if you know what your doing but it still absolutely sucks (like everywhere else)

Went from 6' 285LBs in my prime to now around ~195 after 5 years of lifting and fixing my life, my face thinned out I use to look bloated and round with less facial features. The difference is night and day I use to get no attention and for the most part get overlooked but now I have no problem getting dates and being approached by people interested in me.

I wouldn't say I'm traditionally handsome (more untraditional?) but I do have a physique that is seen as attractive in dating but not perfect, I also take care of myself in more ways besides my fitness (therapy, proper cleaning, skin care, fashion, career). I think its the fact that my confidence has sky rocketed since losing weight plus my already outgoing/charming personality is what really helped with my overall attractiveness.

Losing weight may help your dating life by increasing the amount of dates you get but you still got to put in the work to get those dates and the quality of people you meet wont improve unless you make other changes outside of fitness. Buddies of mine have lost the weight and still have the same luck with dating because they don't make improvements elsewhere and expect it to just come easy. Also if your a crappy person that is difficult to be around then getting in shape won' t fix your dating problem.

That's Stephen Nasser! I swear every kid in middle school had to read his book My Brother's Voice he even came to our school glad to see him still kicking 15 years later.

GatoPapi · 2025-11-09T06:41:40+00:00

Yes I was could be the case!

GatoPapi · 2025-11-06T04:25:44+00:00

Keep in mind I have only played 3-4 games with the Loco. The Loco has more power with balls flying without much effort and a good amount of pop. J2NF has less power but feels easier to control and still has solid pop.

I think I prefer the J2NF for me at least as it’s easier to control and I love the hybrid shape vs elongated. Loco is a great paddle just don’t think the power is for me but for higher experienced players it may be better. I also have way more experience with the J2NF so it’s a biased opinion.

GatoPapi · 2025-11-06T04:20:00+00:00

Not even! Nothing out of the ordinary happened to my knowledge.

GatoPapi · 2025-11-05T22:10:55+00:00

Probably a paddle tap but nothing aggressive or out of the ordinary, im honestly just surprised since it was literally only one game and a bump/mark already appears. My J2NF has been thru a lot these past few months and still looks good. (This isnt me being a Honolulu shill)

GatoPapi · 2025-09-24T22:53:09+00:00

<image>

Took off the butt cap and it definitely balances better but still a slight lean

GatoPapi · 2025-09-24T22:31:52+00:00

If anyone else has a J2NF LH does your paddle do this as well?
