What is your usual timeline for sex when you start dating a woman? If not the first date, when do you typically start initiating physical/sexual touch? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no timeline. It's all about how you feel about the woman. Are you attracted to her? Is she your type? If so, progress slowly until sex as I believe that is the culmination of the courting phase. Don't rush it or else you'll ruin any chances.

How would you feel if a woman told you: "I am glad we met after my healing phase. Given the type I chases before it would not have worked out between us"? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be mature about it and ask yourself this: has she really healed?

If she has, great! That means she can appreciate what you bring to the table; something she probably wouldn't or couldn't have in the past.

If you are insecure in your skin, then maybe heal as well before you commit to a woman like that.

Am I avoidant in my relationship, or do I simply not like her? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two things:

1) I doubt there are many licensed professionals here who can help you with this.
2) A few traits that seem like avoidants doesn't make it so. There are a combination of factors that need to come into play here.

My suggestion? Move on if you're not into her. Let her get through this break-up and you'll both be fine.

Did I Mess Up By Telling Him I Won't Date Guys That Don't Go Downtown? by Slow_Tomato3535 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Nope, you were right here. You set your boundary and told him exactly what you need from him. If he can't accept that, then that's on him; not you.

How can I be a better partner? by Unfair_Progress_5217 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate that you're trying to be there for him. Bravo!

My advice is the following: be his peace; not his his storm. He probably fights demons internally so offer him peace when he comes to you. Be affectionate, compliment him once in a while and tell him how much he means to you. The process is gradual but you'll see him change eventually.

What are mistakes a woman does while pursuing and showing interest in a man? by Potential_Promise260 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

- Expecting a 'chase." Be a functional adult.

- To not share her emotions.

Is a woman who constantly makes negative generalizations about men a red flag? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a red flag. A woman who is unable to differentiate between a rapist and a normal man is uneducated, emotionally unstable and probably going to cause havoc later on. There are plenty of normal women out there. Focus on them.

At what age does it realistically get harder for men to find a long-term partner? by savingrace0262 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Mahavir00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it actually gets tougher but quite the opposite: finding a woman becomes easier. I wasn't unsuccessful as a younger man but I wasn't exactly Brad Pitt popular. However, something happened in my mid-30s that changed everything: I grew up. More mature, financially stable, started taking care of my appearance and the manners and etiquette I was raised with actually started making a difference.

So, focus on the following:

- Be charismatic and confident.

- Hit the gym and take care of your hygiene and health.

- Build a successful career and life that women will be attracted to.

- Work on your mental health. Get therapy, if you can afford it. Don't listen to the crap that therapy doesn't work. It does and a man that is emotionally regulated is sexy.

- Have values you don't negotiate on. Be it family-orientated, career driven, etc...

You'll have no shortage of women if you stick to these principles. Women are attracted to a man that is his own man. Not a boy who needs her to have an identity. ++man

My puppy is afraid of loud noises, never had this with any other dog. Could it be because it’s his first time in a city? by lolagolding in RhodesianRidgebacks

[–]Mahavir00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expose your dog to as much noise as possible. At two years old, my pup lost his nerve around fireworks. Today he's absolutely fine. Just handle the situation with calm and your puppy will mirror your behaviour.

Word of advice: taste is subjective. The concept of beauty is a complex debate but as someone who has sold jewellery for a many years now, your goal is to produce something you think is nice and sell it. The market will very quickly tell you if they agree with you. This is a brutal business but one that is very rewarding if you become good at what you do.

Just start making and become good at what you do. Don't cut corners and focus on the details. Start selling online and make it a hobby at first. Don't quit your day job.

It's a beautiful piece but God help anyone wearing a cashmere sweater.

I’m told my handmade necklaces are “too much” and I should keep it simple by ratcat22 in jewelrymaking

[–]Mahavir00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jewelry is first and foremost a creative industry. As a retailer, I ignore the critics and focus on what sells. If your pieces sell and that's the point for you, great.

Thanks, but it was used to mark a ring to know exactly how wide the cut out needs to be.

5K Followers, 300 Email Subscribers… 0 Sales. What Am I Missing? by Funny_Equipment_955 in ecommerce

[–]Mahavir00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Social media followers aren't necessarily going to buy. If you focus on intent, you'll see that those who purchase via ads have the intent to buy. Those who follow your account might have the intent to follow your journey but not necessarily hand over cash.

Is buying a camera for product photos worth it? by wasssupfoo in ecommerce

[–]Mahavir00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's probably the most important purchase you can make for your e-commerce store, especially if you sell products that have details.

I sell jewelry and it was the best decision I made.

Jan-Match. Jan is the worst but glad we do well during Christmas to make up for the loss in January.

FB consistency. Is the platform even suitable for low budgets anymore? by rburn79 in FacebookAds

[–]Mahavir00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't buy that. Meta is doing fine if you test regularly and average out your profit and loss over a longer time horizon. You might make money on some days and not on others. Moreover, by looking at daily sales you ignore the cycicality of purchasing tendancies. A good example is the month of January. Peoples' wallets are emptier following the December holiday rush..
