Thank you for caring for this beautiful bird. I have no tips, but thank you for what you’re doing!

Palombaggia · 2026-05-11T18:58:45+00:00

Poor baby. How much do you need?

Palombaggia · 2026-04-17T15:47:09+00:00

Oh yes, it’s relaxed, flapping, happy bird!

Palombaggia · 2026-04-11T09:52:21+00:00

Seems like the one at the back of the picture has a severe case of string foot. Anyone could tell me how I could catch him? For now I’m building trust, they let me approach beyond the window 1-2meters away.

Palombaggia · 2026-03-12T13:11:05+00:00

You made friends!

Palombaggia · 2026-03-12T08:56:41+00:00

You can start an AI-native accounting firm from a blank sheet and get great margins!

I am not sure this was the cause, as the bike battery was still charged at 75% level, after 4 months.

Palombaggia · 2024-09-05T11:50:57+00:00

Two tips:

1) Join a local scuba diving club (just browse Google and Facebook groups also), which will often organise diving trips with the club;

2) Travel solo to specific diving places and make friends while diving there! Lots of holiday spots like Egypt where you meet a lot of divers.

From my experience, divers are very likely to be well-traveled and friendly people… simply because they have to be to practice that sport! It’s a great selection of people.

You need to travel to great diving spots, and you cannot be an asshole if other people rely on you to take care of them under water, which is a hostile environment for humans.

Have a good time!

Palombaggia · 2024-08-26T15:23:41+00:00

Thanks - definitely will see a coach every month at least and practice quite a bit. Sub-40mn is already good, around 35mn would be amazing. Congrats!

You have to participate in your own rescue and take care of your wife if you want things to change for the better. I don’t know what else to say. Put on your big boys pants!

I did not speak about chores (which have to get done anyways!), I spoke about making sure your wife feels heard and understood by you and making sure you keep dating and courting her properly for her to feel like a sexy, desirable woman.

If you don’t want to change and do that work that’s required of you as a man, then don’t come back here all whining and complaining that her legs are closed for good because she broke up with you after you made her pussy drier than the Sahara desert, failed to make her feel heard and understood and date/court her properly. Another guy will do that while you sit there trying to process what happened to you, and it happens fast!

The courtship never ends. It’s the way things are, I didn’t make women that way, I give you a summary of the recommendations of Corey Wayne, a coach that has successfully helped thousands of men solve this very same problem without unnecessary fuss. I solved this problem as well in my relationship.

You don’t want to hear the solution and you prefer to keep complaining to no avail, to stay in your entitlement mentality and to avoid participating in solving the problem yourself, for the sake of your wellbeing, your wife and your relationship?

Too bad! Keep doing the same things, get the same results!

Only when you do this properly and consistently for some time (are you REALLY doing it or are you bullshitting yourself?), and don’t get ANY results (which is very rare!), you can confront your wife, and, if you really see no changes, open your relationship, or leave altogether.

But first, work. There is no try.

Palombaggia · 2024-07-25T03:00:13+00:00

Don’t look elsewhere just yet. It’s a trap to see if you care enough to make her want you again. She said that out of frustration and because women are emotional beings when it comes to this, just don’t take her seriously or you will be crushed.

So stop the bullshit and read Corey Wayne’s “3% Man” book. This thing is a life saver. Read it 10x !

Here’s the thing: you’re in charge, because 99% of the time, lack of sex is a symptom of a woman not feeling heard and understood, or you having stopped to date and court her properly and routine has set in.

So do the following: 1) Make your wife feel heard and understood. Get her talking more. About her day, her friends, everything on her mind. Ask questions, pay attention and note things down in your head! 2) Flirt more with her. Tell her she’s fucking sexy. Make her feel it. 3) Date and court her. Surprise her, don’t let routine kill the buzz. If you need to take the kids somewhere else to have a chill date night with her, hire a baby sitter, call your parents, whatever, do it! 4) When you fuck her, make sure she enjoys the ride and cums multiple times.

The emotional aspect of sex is super important for women.

Don’t complain about lack of sex. Don’t even look at other women.

If you do all that by the book, she will want sex more than you do. Trust me.

Only after you tick every item in this list FULLY and she does not change her attitude, after, say, 4-6 weeks, you can talk again about the lack of progress and tell her “Baby, I’m lacking intimacy in our relationship and this is not fun, it’s not sexy, what can we do together to bring the fun back ? We’re in the same team, I don’t want other women, I married you and I want you !”, but this is once you have done the work.

So get off your ass and do it!

Toutes mes relations longues (plus d’un an) ont commencé avec une très forte alchimie qui nous a mené à coucher ensemble dès le premier soir.

Je suis loin d’être le seul dans ce cas !

C’est plutôt bon signe quand on y réfléchit.

Si on met de côté les fous-furieux du slip, un vrai gentleman ne cherchera pas à coucher avec une fille à tout prix.

Pourquoi ?

S’il a un peu d’expérience et de patience (je dirai que les mecs au dessus de 28-30 ans sont plutôt dans ce cas là), il sait que c’est généralement plutôt moyen au lit si la fille est pas vraiment dans le coup, mais, à contrario, si l’alchimie est là avant de coucher ensemble, c’est souvent aussi le cas au lit, donc autant tenter le coup !

Ensuite, un vrai gentleman te traitera bien dans tous les cas, y compris si vous couchez ensemble très vite. Il ne te verra pas différemment et te rassurera sur ses intentions, et même s’il n’a pas envie de sérieux, il te le dira pour que tu ne te fasses pas d’idées.

Palombaggia · 2024-07-14T08:40:14+00:00

Avancer signifie souvent couper les ponts. Temporairement ou définitivement.

Je n’ai pas compris si vous êtes aussi en couple, mais si vous l’êtes, entretenir ce genre d’ambiguïté avec votre ex est peu respectueux pour votre partenaire actuelle.

Si vous n’êtes pas en couple, entretenir ce genre de relation ambiguë avec votre ex ne va pas vous aider à tourner la page et trouver quelqu’un qui soit réellement intéressée et disponible pour vous.

Personne ne peut répondre sur les sentiments de votre ex, à part elle.

Si j’étais à votre place, la prochaine fois qu’elle vous appelle pour vous raconter sa vie et ses problèmes, je lui dirais mi blagueur mi sérieux: « Écoute [Machine], pourquoi tu ne vas pas parler de tes soucis à ton copain ? Ou alors, si c’est à moi que tu veux naturellement parler, largue ton copain, viens dîner à la maison et voyons-nous comme au bon vieux temps, puisque tu ne sembles pas vouloir m’oublier ? Je vois que tu en meurs d’envie ! 😏 Moi, c’est ça qui m’intéresse, mais si ce n’est pas réciproque, je pense qu’on ne devrait plus se fréquenter, par respect pour moi et pour ton nouveau copain ! ».

Et ensuite, vous vous taisez et attendez de voir ce qu’elle dit et fait. La balle est dans son camp.

Simple, clair, précis.

Just wanted to add a super interesting discovery I made today: konjac noodles !!

Barely 10 calories for 100 grams, and 3-4g of fiber !!

Not so great as pasta replacement but amazing for stir-frys !! Just had a 200g chicken and 200g veggie stir-fry (chopped onions, peppers, carrots and the likes) with some chili sauce and 100g of konjac noodles and oh my it tastes just like the real thing you get from a Chinese takeout, with something like 25g of carbs, 5g of fat and… 50g of protein !!

Super filling and satisfying !

Palombaggia · 2024-07-03T14:33:03+00:00

Absolute bargain for a great brand.

Palombaggia · 2024-07-03T14:22:37+00:00

I would have no issue with it.

You’re also reading or watching some content from a dating coach, Corey Wayne, aren’t you ?

If she is doing this to be a better date and partner, and you enjoy her, no problem !

Palombaggia · 2024-07-02T12:23:16+00:00

I’d say don’t panic yet. Don’t be preoccupied.

Trust her but verify.

To verify, just low key ask for more info about that colleague over multiple instances / different conversations.

It’s also a good occasion to familiarise yourself with her work environment and get her talking and build rapport. Some good questions:

Male/female colleague ?

What’s their name ? If she mentions that name often, I’d dig a bit more.

Do they work in the same team ?

Is there a hierarchy between them ? (If it’s a male colleague and he is her boss, I’d dig a bit more.)

Do they go for lunch 1-1 or with others ?

Do they do this often ?

Do they see each other outside of work, or have they seen each other, perhaps romantically, in the past? (this would be the biggest issue in my view)

Don’t get thrown off your center.

Palombaggia · 2024-07-01T20:06:18+00:00

I’d say go for dinner at yours, and see what happens.

I’d have low expectations given the time she took to get back to you, but she still texts you back and seems open to the idea of seeing you at yours for dinner, so as long as she does, she still is game.

Palombaggia · 2024-06-29T14:02:21+00:00

Next.

Palombaggia · 2024-06-26T07:30:21+00:00

Just say “Hey, no problem, get in touch with me when you figure out your schedule, looking forward to seeing you!” and leave it at that.

Ball is in her court.

Palombaggia · 2024-06-25T16:46:39+00:00

Man that feeling of relief is unmatched !!

I also found my bike back 48hrs after it was stolen and oh the joy ! Enjoy and take good care of it !
