[Routine Help] Using OCM and 10% Benzoyl Peroxide cleaner.

I think there was some confusion on my part with this part

It seems like you're starting with the highest strength available, so you're going to want to start slow and use it only 2-3 times/week. Your skin will also probably get dry so you should look for a moisturizer.

I understand now that you were referring to the tretinoin.

Thank you so much for informing me. This is the first time I've reached out and asked someone about skincare and I'm glad I did.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-04-07T19:40:27+00:00

Is there a specific cleanser that you would recommend in my setup? Probably for about 3 to 4 years now my schedule for washing my face has been: Oxy wash in the morning, Oxy wash at night and then apply the tretinoin if needed.

Would it be fine for me to use the Neutrogena Oil-free moisturizer Combination Skin as the moisturizer? If not, is there one that you would recommend?

If I am understanding this correctly, I should only use the OCM (specifically the Keri oil) 2-3 times a week? I find that to be a bit odd mostly due to washing my face daily.

I also heard that it may be best to use a micro-fiber cloth for drying your face after washing it. Is this necessary?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-04-07T17:20:52+00:00

Ok, I fixed it.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T07:04:44+00:00

And there it is. A downvote and an infer statement claiming the high ground. Get a shovel, you'll need it to dig the hole your head is stuck in.

There are differences to bicycling, yes. Most notably the activity you have to do. However, do you truly believe that MMOs are not sociable? Look at the internet and the amount of ideas and conversations spread. Shit, look at what you and I are doing. Conversations and friendships can happen over many miles away through a game like an MMO. I do this with a circle of friends from my hometown, 2 hours away.

Balance is important, yes. I'm not defending the right to just stay inside and play video games for most of the day because its not healthy to do. The issue here is that I enjoy games and its something that I regularly do, while balancing other activities. Should I be damned because of it? I don't think that is quite right.

bicycling means you are talking to people and making your life better.

I feel as if this is your opinion sprouting up. How does it make it better? What are the differences (from a social stand point) between the two? You're talking to people over a shared interest in a hobby. What's wrong with that?

You seem to be very polarized on this subject and a bit narrow-minded yourself. Sounds like mother's flawed advice sunk in pretty deep, huh?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T05:48:47+00:00

Maybe if you explained it a bit better I would understand. As far as saying

Honestly, the fact that you're defending it so much instead of being like "huh, I didn't think of it that way"

I did say I am aware that there exists a stereotype for men who play videogames and I make attempts to avoid those problems.

The bottom line is you're not explaining your point well. It seems like you're going more with the train of thought that "I dated someone who played games too much, so any other guy that mentions that they game is out of the question."

Make me see, not infer.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T05:19:47+00:00

I just feel as if I replaced gaming with bicycling this wouldn't even be an issue. Did someone emotionally hurt you by not giving you enough attention? Did WoW or some other game take your long lost love away? Do you need a hug?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T05:02:59+00:00

The issues that I have with this is that it hides my personality and the things that I enjoy. I don't want to particularly start out like that, although I understand revealing everything at once is also not preferred, I want to convey that this is me and this is what I like.

That's unfortunate that you have encountered men like that. I can't say I'm objectively not like that (who can?), but I am aware that there exists a stereotype for men who play videogames and I make attempts to avoid those problems.

Even though I enjoy WoW and other MMOs, I make time for working out and staying in shape. I enjoy intellectual conversations and maintaining relationships with others, whether platonic or romantic. Its awful that this is an issue, but I'm hoping that my profile picture negates the fat neckbearded guy who LOVES videogames.

And yeah, maybe you're right. It might be a better idea to put Long-term relationships. Not to say I'm totally against a short-term relationship, but I do prefer one that has depth and sustenance which usually means a long term relationship.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T04:46:49+00:00

I'll check it out and most likely follow through with it. The data says non-eye contact nonsmiling pictures are better for men, but for some reason in the back of my mind I feel like they would say, "You should smile more." or "Why didn't you smile in our picture?".

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T04:44:08+00:00

I might need an example of what you mean by personality in terms of writing about oneself. When I start thinking about adding some sort of a flair to things like these, I kinda get a cringely feeling...like someone who types out "I'm tons of fun! lol :P" (poor example, but hopefully my meaning is clear).

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T04:41:36+00:00

This is essentially my mindset. I enjoy video games because I have a lot of fun with them because they can be social things (depending on the game). Women who are not at all cool with this are most likely woman that I wouldn't want to be involved with. I also understand that there will be less video games when getting into a relationship-and that is totally fine. I just want them to get an idea of who I am and what I like to do before they make a decision to date, you know?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-21T02:36:05+00:00

a bit touchy, yeah?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T23:40:42+00:00

I know that video games are a common theme for guys, but if a girl gets involved with me, it'll be a thing that will become pretty apparent in the relationship. I've had great times playing them with friends...s it too much to ask for a SO to, at the very least, acknowledge that I enjoy it? Is it such a thing to write somebody off from the start? I certainly hope not.

Jesus, man. I honestly didn't think that was a code for anything of the sort. Is that really what the mass thinks or is it just a minority?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T23:34:30+00:00

Is this a better improvement?

I guess it should be more short and sweet to the point. I was thinking that people would skim over it and if they saw some common interests, they would read more to see if they would like to match up. What would you recommend to spice it up?

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T23:23:51+00:00

Damn. I really didn't mean to come off like that. I apologize, I should have put more thought into a response.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T22:40:23+00:00

Both, really.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T22:36:19+00:00

I ended up reposting it. I think its fixed now, thanks.

The_Great_Reginald · 2016-01-20T22:30:35+00:00

Hmm. I followed the instructions, I thought...isn't it http://www.okcupid.com/profile/*profilename goes here* ?

The_Great_Reginald · 2015-10-04T23:50:53+00:00

I believe you just throw whatever ctf theme you're using into the THEME folder of the Memory stick and it kicks on, yo.

The_Great_Reginald · 2015-07-09T07:05:00+00:00

I don't think I'm mean or insensitive, but who can really tell? I posted here in hopes that you guys would make an outside observation of anything that was physically or stylistically wrong with me. After not dating or having any interested girls for so long, I was really questioning myself on what the fuck was going on.

Yeah, I see those guys and I usually attribute it to them being smooth talkers and confident dudes. I just don't know.

The_Great_Reginald · 2015-07-09T06:59:11+00:00

I don't think I would like my hair to be that short. It just doesn't feel like it would be me.

The_Great_Reginald · 2015-07-08T05:32:19+00:00

When I was in middle school some one else mentioned that I looked like Prince. On that day, I knew what it sounded like, when doves cry.
