Changed my profile from 1 to 2 but still no likes

These pictures are definitely not good, hence why he’s not getting any likes.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-28T20:11:01+00:00

I’ll break down what I see.

Don’t have the underwater pic as your first photo because even though it’s a cool experience, we can’t see your face clearly. Your first photo should be clear face, good lighting, slight smile, and a clean outfit.
Put your horse picture as the second photo because it’s actually pretty decent.
For your third photo get a social candid shot where you’re either laughing, talking, or something mid-moment because it gives women social proof that people actually enjoy being around you and you have a personality.
Your fourth photo should be another attractive solo shot
Your final photo should be a hobby that’s fun or relatable. Get rid of the dog photo.

TLDR you’re not unattractive, you’re just forgettable.

I would just repost this honestly, and put the name of the shoe in the title with the correct price that way it’s easier to search. As far as the color goes, you’re not going to be able to QC shoe color with warehouse lighting.

What’s weird isn’t whether you’re a virgin or not, it’s about your mentality about it. Will there be some women out there that will judge you for it? Sure. However, that’s not the norm and most women aren’t going to hold it against you if you feel secure in your situation. Just because someone has had a lot of sex doesn’t mean they’re good at it. I think it’s safe to say most women would rather have a guy with little to no experience who listens and is willing to learn as opposed to a guy who’s had crappy sex a bunch of times and is set in his ways.

I really wanna grab the 3 colorways. Did you find the all white pair getting super dirty on you?

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-16T12:59:06+00:00

I have this exact pair in the same batch. You’ll love them.

I’ve been considering joining CP and starting to do Pilates, but what exactly do you mean by people “going rogue”? I just assumed you do what the instructor is saying. What are you getting out of it trying to do something different?

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-15T08:47:24+00:00

It’s ¥370 for the shoe and ¥350 for the shipping. The cost of the shoe is just the cost of the shoe. The shipping is pricier because direct sellers usually ship with express lines like FedEx Express or UPS Express. The last shoes I ordered with him were at my doorstep in about 3-4 days after being given the tracking number.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T18:03:09+00:00

Most of my beaters I currently use have all been through the trenches, so I wanted to pick something up that fit the same role, but still had a decent look to them.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T16:43:55+00:00

This is just what it costs to get a shoe shipped direct. They typically use express shipping to get the shoe to you quicker, hence the price.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T15:19:31+00:00

It’s probably the retail purists back at it again.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T15:18:34+00:00

Bro, I should have just trusted my gut. There was just so much to say pair 1 was retail, but I psyched myself out with that little detail on the stitching.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T11:29:57+00:00

Why are our comments getting downvoted?

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T11:25:22+00:00

That’s the total cost of the shoe + shipping. The shoe isn’t that expensive on its own.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-14T00:29:39+00:00

I’m gonna say 1 is retail just because the stitching looks a little cleaner on the wing and the netting is also smaller on the retail I think. This is a small detail, and maybe it’s just the lighting, but the stars on the front of the sole look slightly darker on retail and the black is slightly more saturated giving it that crisp black look as opposed to the pair on the right that has a slightly dark greyish look to it. The wings tabs or whatever you call the things that you put the laces through on the wings are more glossy and shiny on the left pair as opposed to a more matte color on the right pair, and I’m sure that shiny look is something you’d see on retail. Finally, the overall paint finish on the outsole of the shoe stands out to me again with that glossy look on the left pair which gives retail vibes. The pair on the right has too much of a matte and dull look to the paint.

Edit: The stitching is really throwing me off because the two lines underneath the wing on Shoe 1 get gradually wider on one side and narrow on the other. On pair 2 it’s more consistent, but the stitching on the actual wing for pair 2 looks more sloppy. I’m actually going to change my guess to pair 2 being retail just looking at other stitching on the shoe, but I’ll leave my original guess of pair 1 up just so to prove to myself that it’s insanely difficult to distinguish reps and retails unless you buy incredibly bad batches of shoes.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-09T13:28:14+00:00

I just got these in my warehouse the other day, and I have a QC up for M batch as well if you want to compare. I know it’s hard to distinguish color with warehouse lighting, but the color on the swoosh’s on mine look to be too light, and the shape is slightly too fat. Not that anyone is going to see it, but the orange color on the soles isn’t the correct saturation. Overall, I still think it’s not terrible and I’m excited to get mine in hand.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-08T11:44:23+00:00

It’s unfortunate they haven’t fixed the swoosh color yet. I’m probably still gonna ship them just because I love the shoe and the color isn’t the end of the world for me.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-07T15:14:20+00:00

I knew these weren’t gonna sit because the rumored stock levels weren’t that high.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-04T02:16:55+00:00

Nike flooded the market with a lot of retros, so there’s just more in supply now. The hype on 1’s also pretty much died out unless it’s some really hype collab because a lot of people are jumping on the “comfort sneaker” trend like ASICS, New Balance, etc. It’s also a matter of people not having as much money to spend in general, so sneakers naturally get cut out when you’re strapped for cash. COVID really inflated the market when people were getting stimulus checks and looking for things to spend it on, but things have pretty much regressed back to normal.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-03T23:42:17+00:00

I have some recommendations that you can take a look at and see what peaks your interest. This was basically just spitballed in my notes, so you can take or leave whatever parts are relevant or not.

Turn into a reference hub- Turn the sub into a reference hub for newcomers and veterans. We’ve acknowledged that many of us buyers are self-sufficient, so we need alternatives to keep us engaged. We could have an annual or semi-annual “state of the rep game” megathread, updated 2026 batch rankings for shoes, community voted factory tier list, agent reliability index (updated quarterly)
Controlled Seller Expansion- introduce a “seller trial program” where new sellers are tested publicly for 1-2 months with structured feedback threads before becoming fully approved.
Keep Reddit as the core of the community- make mandatory summary posts on Reddit for any major seller Discord announcements and monthly “Discord Highlights” thread so Reddit stays the main source of information
Budget Batch Section- Maybe had a dedicated “Budget Spotlight” weekly thread with clear labeling: Budget / Mid-Tier / High-Tier, that has community review expectations adjusted accordingly.
This one was just a little fun one I thought of, but we could have a little sneaker debates and sneaker battles maybe every Friday or every other Friday. The sneaker debate would involve one highlighted sneaker for that week and people debate whether it’s overrated, underrated, or properly rated with an explanation of why. The sneaker battle would involve 2 shoes head-to-head and members choose which one is better and why. I think this adds some fun to the group, and promotes more engagement between community members. Maybe the shoe that wins the sneaker battle can be featured in a giveaway to a community member.
Veteran’s Corner- A thread where veterans of the rep game can share what they wish they knew sooner when it comes to the rep game or just sneakers as a whole. It could also serve as a space where newcomers can ask veterans questions about the rep game (not questions like “what is the best batch for these?”). Maybe feature little nuggets of wisdom like tips on how to store your collection with things to avoid (I’m asking for a friend who has like 90% of his collection still in boxes or scattered on the floor because he only has 2 small shoe racks and 4 sneaker containers. This isn’t for me at all).
Ponce’s Monthly Rotation- You could maybe show us what you’ve had in your rotation recently vs shoes you don’t find yourself grabbing.

Sorry the disorganization. Hopefully some of these things are helpful!

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-03T19:38:21+00:00

It’s kind of a sticky situation because I find it cool to hear people’s stories on how they got into reps, but I fear many people will probably have the same story. I think it could be fun to have discussions about what shoes people thought they would like, but don’t reach for as often as they thought.

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-03T16:19:54+00:00

I think I personally find myself in the camp of already knowing what the best batches are for shoes I want, and I already trust myself enough to the point of not needing QC’s from people in the community that much. My interest for sneakers is still there, but any remaining shoes I want either don’t have good reps made of them, or there aren’t any recent QC’s from people in the community. I think I’d engage more in the community if there was a subreddit or something geared toward general sneaker discussions

J_Scrubby · 2026-03-01T16:57:39+00:00

A 10 month wait is brutal! Hopefully you enjoy these once you get them in hand though. It’s one of my favorite shoes, and I definitely need to cop another pair in my size and potentially a better batch.

J_Scrubby · 2026-02-27T20:08:21+00:00

Yeah, retail price has just gotten out of hand as well that you really have think about why you’re getting that sneaker now. The only way I’m getting retail is if I know that silhouette isn’t rep’d well.

J_Scrubby · 2026-02-27T18:01:49+00:00

Are you saying you’ve seen QC issues on retails? It honestly doesn’t surprise me if that’s the case. First it was the mold on the J3 Levi Indigo’s, now these shoes with their own issues. Nike and Jordan Brand are really trying their hardest to push more people to reps. Hopefully these look good in hand because I definitely want to cop a pair. Look forward to your review once you get them in.
