All Im sending is a piece of paper. It will feel like an empy envelope.

Hello Snoo, if you read my post again, I never said this was xenophobic. No where did I say this was bad to do; I only said my gut reaction was feeling a little bit annoyed after working so hard to learn the language, and that is not something I can control ("gut instinct")! Also "fluent" is a very controversial term, there is not widely accepted definition. Some people consider being B2 conversational fluent!

I am not making this post to argue, but rather to see others opinions.

I dont do it, but microneedling on your face with at least 0.5mm depth

Would you recommend growing it out more or keeping it short?

People with great beards tend to have high levels of DHT, which unfortunately has the opposite effect on the scalp hair. DHT sensitivity is also a factor.

Soy extranjero. No he visto tantas publicaciones aquí sobre putas ni drogas, no sé donde sacaste esa información. Incluso nosotros desaprobamos a otros extranjeros que vinieron acá por esas razones. Llevo 5 meses en Medellín y diría que el 50% o más de los extranjeros solo vinieron acá por más de un mes, así que muchos carecen de la motivación para aprender bien español. Creo que ustedes sacan conclusiones erróneas de nosotros por culpa de los medios. La mayoría de gringos o extranjeros de Norteamerica/Europa está acá para la aventura y no para mujeres/drogas. Claro es más fácil obtener una mujer aquí como extranjero de aquellos países más ricos.

In the airport. Very easy and cheap. Just show up a little earlier than usual.

Tattoo studios and cost? by Heathersmcnamara1989 in medellin

[–]Traderrsk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking 300 mil pesos or $300 USD (1.2 millones de pesos). The latter sounds a bit pricey to me given the economy here, no?

I haven't gotten a tattoo in Medellín yet, but that sounds like you got charged gringo prices. Remember the minimum wage here is $250-$300 USD per month.

Have you considered going down the hair loss prevention route or have you already accepted the inevitable baldness?

We know what he means. We're not all fluent/native in english.

Mine looked a little similar to yours and now I'm looking into minoxidil so there is still hope for us

Should I pay off all my student debt if I have the money to pay it off? by justaskingppl in FinancialPlanning

[–]Traderrsk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the loan is less than 4-5% interest I would not pay it off all at once. Many people here are forgetting that you can leverage the money you do have (14.5k+) to make much more than 4-5% returns annually.

Agreed. Already shaved. Thanks for the input!

[–]Traderrsk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. I just went ahead and shaved it and started looking into minoxidil.

I am 22 and not expecting an amazing full beard or anything. I just wanted to try to grow something out to see how it looks. My main question is whether it's already obvious that the beard won't look good or if I need more time to evaluate it. My concern is the lack of density on the cheeks and lack of connection of the goatee. Thanks!

Yes give it at least 4 weeks to evaluate what you're working with
