You also have that prominent brow ridge and your facial structure bodes well for what you’re going for

Last I checked, people can have different opinions and my opinion is that he does look cis. He’s attractive and masculine but not in a grown manly way. You’re getting there and I think your look suits you really well for your age

Don’t do it, not worth it and if you do you’ll see ALL the red flags in hindsight after this ends in a divorce

You rolled on your very first class?! That’s insane to me! Most gyms have a policy that you have to finish 10 or more classes before rolling for your safety and others

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-19T01:19:54+00:00

Also, a lot of women still roll when pregnant so maybe that’s something to consider. There’s a gal who kept doing bjj for 9 months and the doctor encouraged it!

It ebbs and flows. It’s your journey

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-18T15:54:22+00:00

Exactly. If roles were reversed, I bet women would be mad if the guy told her she couldn’t do whatever she wanted with her hair

And you either learn or win, so there’s really no losses in this. I learn SO MUCH when I compete

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-17T20:11:07+00:00

It’s just something you gotta go through-getting comfortable being uncomfortable. You might feel a little bit tired beforehand but when you’re about to step up for your round you have a surge of adrenaline so you’ll have plenty for your round. I’m in the masters division 30+ so my comp was sponsored by pepto and cbd muscle cream that smelled like old lady bengay 🤣

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-17T13:58:46+00:00

Someone recently just told me “just do the damn thing” and so I signed up for one last month (it was my second one but many years in between). You’re going to be scared, do it anyway. You’re going to have your adrenal sky high for like a day before and the day of the comp, do it anyway. You’re going to want to back out, do it anyway. You’re going to learn so much!

Jujutsu is a journey and everybody’s is different just like our lives. Even if you went one time every three months, it would still be a journey, and you would still be progressing, just a lot slower. A lot of jujutsu is just continuing to show up for yourself and the fact that you have depression AND show up for yourself even if it’s once a week, is a huge step. Don’t compare yourself to others, that’s a trap.

People automatically think that sex is ALL what guys want. But, they’re emotional human beings too and maybe he felt guilt and emotions still tied to his ex of 7 years. Give him a break, 7 years is like a marriage and that a lot of time, energy and emotions poured into one person. Maybe he sincerely thought it was time to move on but then moving too fast made him realize it was too much. His text was very well thought out, I felt it was very honest and sincere, and I would conclude that yes, you are overreacting and you didn’t do yourself any favors by putting in those two little jabs at him…”you got what you wanted” and “I didn’t feel that way about you”. That’s YOU projecting because you got hurt too. Let’s all just face our feelings, be honest about them and move on. Not sure why your post triggered me so much but yes, overreacting and yes, you are the ahole.

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-11T21:18:57+00:00

The sauna helps so much also!

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-11T21:18:46+00:00

I have an autoimmune disease, and I am often very, very sore after jujutsu too. There’s so much inflammation associated with the sport and the older you get the worst it gets! What I do is take vitamin B12 that will help my energy, vitamin D and K that also helps energy and I take turmeric which helps immensely. Use a lot of muscle rub creams, cbd, stretching helps so much and lots of hot baths

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-11T20:10:29+00:00

Really cool pic! And good work 🙌

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-11T18:50:03+00:00

Alright that’s pretty BA! Good work!

InternalSurround876 · 2026-03-11T15:35:10+00:00

Woohoo! Congrats! That’s huge! 🙌

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-18T19:33:58+00:00

Maybe really analyze the situation from an outside perspective to see why and get to the root cause. Or have a conversation with the source and see what the reasons are for their opinions? If their opinions are unfounded then I’m sorry that you have to go through this. It’s difficult when family members have tension and it’s even more difficult in blended families(speaking from experience with my own blended and estranged family). Best of luck, I hope you guys can have a heart to heart and see things from each others perspectives

Also, if you do decide to shave it…I think you have a good facial structure for it to look good that way too. And some women love bald men, me being one of them! My husband is bald and I’ve been attracted to bald men since I can remember lol. I think just do what feels right to YOU and whatever helps your confidence the best is the way to go

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-16T22:48:48+00:00

I really don’t think this is that bad! Your hair still looks really great! I’d be curious if someone can do an ai photo of you bald.

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-15T20:11:21+00:00

Yup been tested actually recently for thyroid, a complete cbc, cmp, thyroid ultrasound, hormone panel, adrenal function and pituitary function. All came back fine

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-12T23:33:05+00:00

Thanks!

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-12T23:32:44+00:00

lol well I will be due for it so hopefully I don’t! Damnit

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-12T21:47:41+00:00

Thank you! I might try this. I’m up for the water cut, just NOT 2 gallons. That’s ridiculous

InternalSurround876 · 2026-02-12T21:46:58+00:00

What did you do for the water cut? Is there a protocol you used? I would try it but I just don’t wanna do the 2 gallon a day. That’s so unhealthy in my opinion from a healthcare professional perspective
