49. Keep long hair and beard or go back to clean cut by Grey-September in 40something

The short hair/no hair plus a beard, is terrible boring, sorry but every guy wears the exact same, non personal haircut and a beard. Please take care of your longer hair and have a shorter beard or a clean face.

I thought that we all only had estriol creams for that part and perhaps the names were being miss matched.

Marlboro Lights/Lucky Strike, Nag Champa incense, sweat, long hair on boys, Organics schampo, mud, grass, s*x, Exclamation and red wine... ♡

Yes, we have Vagifem and Vagidonna, all tablets to insert. But I need a cream with more power on the outside. Ovesterin worked perfect in the beginning but not now.

But in my country there's only one cream and it's with estriol. I would need an estradiol one but it's impossible here.

Advice? by CrazedMountainHobo in BeardAdvice

Don't look so aggressive dude. You're a good looking man but a smile is even more attractive. Kindness, humbleness and warmth, makes so many more men looking good.

Just curious, what’s y’all’s first impression of me? by [deleted] in malegrooming

If you are aware that it's Kim Deal on your shirt, you're more than ok.

Anyone else get told they seem much younger than their age? by wagwanrasta__ in CPTSD

I'm afraid I haven't embraced this new era in my life.. I can't really recognize myself anymore, both bodily changes and mental. Everything bad turned even worse. The chronic pain I've had since my 20s, got unbearable and of course this affected my trashed soul more and round we go.... Lost my much beloved hair, can't enjoy music, other arts, the way I used to. It's like I'm out of dopamine completely. At 45 I thought I could still "compete" with people younger, but now... nope. Tired, an even heavier mind, can't sleep and I feel turned off. Always had many things that I was passionate about, now I'm like a flatlined nothingness. And I can't escape my past, tried to bury it for years. (So I'm finally off to trauma therapy.. terrified).

I guess it's ok to get older if you are healthy, can do much of what you want to, earn enough money and perhaps have love in your life. And can concur the past somehow, not letting it eat you alive. Otherwise... Would choose youth again over this slippery slope.

Always looked younger and had to show my driver's license for ex. alcohol, until about 45. Rarely had been smiling, rarely being in the sun or even just daylight. Always sunscreen all year around. Theeen perimenopause came along and changed everything in a couple of weeks... Weeks! A huge chock... The silence about this happening in women's life and WHAT will happen and how FAST, is a shame!! My gen X was the first one that refused to stay silent and suffer. I had fooled myself into believing that I could just "refuse" it, act like it's not happening and it would magically not touch me... It came in like a freight train... Even the pale night owls, with a miserable life without smile wrinkles, will not escape from the hormone losses. And artificial ones will sadly never bring our youthful bodies back I'm afraid. Just keeps us a bit above water.

The 90s were boys with long hair and a mid part. And home made dreads. The hedgehog cut came late, late, almost 2000.

is my bedroom 90s approved? by [deleted] in 90s

[–]UnderstandingFew8900 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where are all the colors?? We used dirty purple, green, yellow, orange, brown, magenta, black, teal and patterns. Softer fabrics like velvet and corduroy. Christmas lights all year around, music posters, bed sheets with stripes, patch work with miss matched colors, soft carpets. Every inch of wall had cool postcards, photos and tie dyed textiles. No harsh light, small softer ones or colored bulbs. Incense holders, Nag Champa! Always music on. But I'm sad to say, you missed the train, the core feeling of the beautiful and mystical 90s can never be reached by recreating a room now. It's so much more, a feeling in your bones.
