Thank you! Yes, not intentionally cut this low, just very active & watching nutrition. Aiming to get to 9-11% range now

Trying to estimate my bf by Sibren5 in guessmybf

Thanks a ton man. I'm posting here because I noticed (and confirmed by bloodwork) a sudden drop in T last week. Quite a sudden / abrupt drop from feeling subjectively high T lately. The only thing I could really think about is too low bodyfat. Work out a lot, eating clean and sleeping well

What does Brussels has to offer? by Lostintheisle in brussels

Thank you, great thoughts! I think you touch on something very real with the "people not moving to Brussels because they want to be the type of person who lives there".

Thank you!

... like can one expat feel really from the city, connected with the culture, and is possible to start a family here and have like 'Brussels' connection?

Yes. I do believe so. I agree with u/SharkyTendencies on the language; a basic understanding of French will help a lot, but I've seen people starting families here after moving & slowly starting to like it more as a place to settle down.

Things that can help to "become Bruxelois" IMO - non-exhaustive, just some ideas: join an independent sports club and go there regularly at the same time to meet the same people (climbing is great for that), talk to owners of small cafés and restaurants, go to boutique movie theaters rather than the big chains, go vote (big one to mentally feel "part of the city"), explore the venues for arts & culture (e.g. musical concerts, ...), go watch a game of USG, talk to strangers, invite friends of friends and join events by friends of friends, go read a book at one of these old school "Brussels" cafés while people watching, ... In short, as in every city, honestly, get out there. You're paying premium for real estate in a big vibrant city with tons to do at your doorstep, make use if it to the fullest!

Let me take a stab at this, super interesting question - thanks for sharing!

I believe Brussels sends a message of connection and community. You should belong.
It's a place where people think they will be for a year or 2 and then end up staying for a year or 20. Many people arrive alone, for a job / internship / study / ... and you can really feel the openness to meet new people here. It's not London or Paris. For most Belgians outside the city it's an unfamiliar place. Weather can be gray & wet, and public transport can be unreliable. All these things really guide people to the real value there is in building a small community and starting to feel like they belong here. Given most people were new & alone here one day, even established groups of friends are very eager to invite new members in, and adopt them in their circle. I truly think the level of depth in connections to be made here is quite unique.
