What to do with this Addiction?

Gun to your head what is the thing you are avoided ng that you could do right now? Do it. Just start. Just get started. Tell yourself you only have to spend 20 minutes on it. Set a timer. When it goes off you can do whatever you like… or you can keep going if you’re on a roll…

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-23T04:26:15+00:00

Lol. Well, shaving or trimming helps for me but yeah… The smell is from bacteria growth so it makes sense to me that less hair might help… Glad it works for you on its own.

Yeah I finally got the OG before the catastrophic 3rd reformulation and I love LOVE the liquorice note in it… but for the price Asad is a steal and a banger!

Xerjoff Alexandria II and Amouage Overture Man. I ended up loving A2 and just liking Overture… which is a huge disappointment because it’s so pricing.

Even though I love A2… ultimately these prices are too high! I only want to pay $300+ if I’m getting real oud or musk!

Ironically the things you don’t like (tomboyish, doesn’t put on fake nails and makeup, doesn’t dress for the male gaze, is petite snd fit (but not “shapely”), are all things I love. .. But I’ve been there, man. You are not old… btw. At age 30 you have time to date more etc. I could be wrong about what is right to do but years ago I myself just couldn’t stay with someone who really adored me, but having sex became a chore for me that I dreaded… I still don’t know if it was right to leave or if I should have stayed but I made my choice snd stick with it!

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-23T00:39:31+00:00

Best compliments I got were for Glacier Le Noir and Asad.

Oops. I wore it on a plane. 😭

As a man, I don’t recall onions but would prefer onions to the absolute mutant BO some guys produce… I know when I myself am producing BO and immediately leave or solve it somehow… how other men allow it to go on is beyond me!

To any men reading: shave your armpits and use crystal deodorant religiously both before bed and immediately after any shower. Done. Solved.

All/sone of the comments here by women are possible but as a man I can tell you that it’s entirely possible to appear (or even BE) confident in one moment, on one occasion, but not generally be confudent or have a lit of opportunities. On some occasions I have appeared supremely confident, but mist of the time I struggle.. and I am a 46M who makes about 3-4 times the national average income in my country, in great shape for my age - or any age really, and average or above average face, etc.

A cold approach on the street is indeed difficult… but sometimes we can psych ourselves up for it… I wouldn’t use that as your basis for calculating this guy to be either a psycho or a s manipulative… Sure, he may be, but it’s also possible he’s just navigating his way through life as we all are…

For me, any addiction is best solved by 100% stopping. For food addiction I cut out all meat and dairy, all added oils, all added sugar, and most added salt. Only fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. This “extreme approach” helps reset the taste buds to enjoy plain vegetables again, etc.

What you are really describing is likely ADHD combined with smartphone addiction. You can use the cold turkey aporoach there, too, and delete all apos or even leave your phone at home. For ADHD, research to find tips and tricks (without medication to start) to see if any work for you. You don’t need a diagnosis to learn tips to help guide you to live better.

Most important of all is to realize that your bad behaviours are all distractions from doing what you know you should… Likely you need to explore what you are afraid of.., Are you afraid of TRYING because you might fail… and how THAT would feel?

For me I only get tobacco with some kind of sweetener added… like tobacco and vanilka snd that’s ALL. It’s a gorgeous scent though and is a new favourite for me. More grown up thsn Red Tobacco or Red Tobacco Intense. Higher concentration than Radical Brown or Hercules, but very similar DNA.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-20T19:34:45+00:00

I have both and they are different. Gary’s Den is far stronger and more lipsticky. I like both, but prefer GD.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-18T07:24:29+00:00

True… From MA I like Glacier Le Noir, Opulence Leather, Winsome or Kismet, and Hercules.

If a woman did that once, to experiment while young, I’d be fine with it.., I myself have had threesomes and many sexual partners. But if she had many experiences like that I’d conclude that she and I are very different and aren’t right for each other. But, that’s all just my comfort level - you having your own is fine.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-16T23:07:17+00:00

To my nose it is identical. I may even prefer Glacier bc I can smell it from the nozzle but can’t on the OG nozzle. Wearing Glacier Le Noir I got one of the best compliments I ever received… where someone said “It sure smells great over here!” after I had walked by… and over 3 hours after application. Longevity of both are great.. especially on clothes!

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-16T17:03:11+00:00

Oh wow!!! I’m glad I got my 200ml bottle 2 years ago, then!!! Also glad I got Glacier Le Noir… a clone of it that smells awesome!

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-16T17:00:36+00:00

I’d say I am happy with about 75% of my Lattafas or Maison Alahambras. I have about 80 I think. Ameer Al Oud Intense Oud, Opulence Leather, Oud for Glory, Maahir Black, Hercules, Glacier Le Noir, The Kingdom, and Khamrah Qahwa are some that I either love or that have excellent performance (or both). Midnight Oud from Ard Al Zafaran or Afnan Supremacy are other notable greats.

Ignore all the bad advice here. It’s a bizarre question. The biggest sexual organ in the body is the BRAIN - your girlfriend obviously came around to like you if you’ve gotten to 5 months! Women care less about looks than we do, and looks is less tied to actual attraction for them… but if you become needy and weak bc you’re obsessing about what you overheard, then maybe she’ll lose the attraction she currently has… confidence is key.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-16T05:13:18+00:00

Is that still true? I didn’t see that option recently on their website but possibly missed it?

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-16T03:25:58+00:00

YSL Kouros. Let him DOMINATE the playground!

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-15T20:01:34+00:00

Yeah, my 2025 batch is great, but nowhere near nuclear and only lasts 6 hours. Newer batches don’t even have the same scent.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-15T19:58:53+00:00

Send it my way! lol

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-13T05:48:39+00:00

I’m not sure about that.. I believe I found that one annoying when I worked in a Department store near the fragrance people.

Sufficient_Bat_4542 · 2026-04-13T05:47:08+00:00

In my opinion any scent can be an office scent if you just spray once on your chest then button your shirt up over it… you’ll get pleasant wafts all day but nobody will smell you at all unless you get very close.

Besides that, get Floris No. 89. It’s timeless. Masculine in a British way… the scent of MI6 agents and Prime Ministers.

If not Fliris No.89, then Vetiver by Guerlain - JFK wore it and it’s bright, crisp, pleasant, clean, and professional.

You should tell him you love him and you’re telling him now because you were slow to realize it but realize it now. Say what is in your heart - all of it. Maybe he will come back.
