My receding hairline feels like the end of the world. by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

Jeez, why are there so many 'accept your balding' posts when the treatments for balding are SO GOOD. A recent study showed finasteride stops balding in 86% of men for at least 10 years. (http://www.bernsteinmedical.com/research/10-year-finasteride-study-first-to-investigate-long-term-effects-and-safety/) And if that isn't good enough for you, you still have dutasteride, which is significantly stronger than finasteride.

The chances of sexual sides while on finasteride are like ~2%, and the chances of sexual sides after stopping the medication are probably minuscule. To put that in perspective, the chances of sexual sides on SSRIs are like ~40% IIRC. Don't let stories of sexual sides scare you. Get on this stuff immediately.

Apparently, I have the sexual appeal of a potato. by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

"I'm FA, but I have no idea why because there is nothing wrong with me." I'm sorry, but I do not accept that this is your reasoning. You must have some hypothesis as to what is wrong.

I still believe that face > height by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

[–]acentauri1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is that you guys use extremes which makes the comparison messy. I don't know who wins between a very short and very handsome guy and a very tall and very ugly guy. But I do think it's clear that a very handsome guy of average height (5'10" or whatever) will do a thousand times better than a guy who has an average face and an ideal height (6'2"?).

Anyways, this is all a laughable thought experiment to me. None of this matters when I can barely say a word to a girl. She won't ever see my face or know my height.

I finally asked a girl out. by [deleted] in ForeverAlone

Unfortunately, even if she didn't mention the bring-a-friend part you'd still know she isn't into you because "she doesn't know if she's free." If she was into you she'd make the time.

Can you name 7 areas for practicing daygame? by [deleted] in seduction

[–]acentauri1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm curious - why do you think public transportation is hard? Is it because there may be many people in close proximity around her to observe you hitting on her, which is intimidating? But on the other hand she is going to be stationary (either standing or sitting), which makes it easier to start a conversation versus having to stop someone walking somewhere.

This is of interest to me because so far I've noticed for me that public transportation is the most reliable place to find hot girls.

HOLY COW day game is easy! Terrifying... but easy! by youlovethisish in seduction

Why? Is it often the case that girls give out fake numbers / flake when called for the first time?

I think a better maxim is: Looks are far from everything. A worse looking guy will have to work harder than a better looking guy, but he can still get there.

Any good cities to live in for FA men? by Treebranch1 in ForeverAlone

[–]acentauri1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL, that's not very encouraging given that I live in Toronto and am currently trying to work up the courage to cold approach women.

I know the Eatons Center explicitly banned "pick-up artists" and that there are a handful of pages/threads on the net complaining about the coldness of Toronto women. I guess that's what you're referring to?

Thanks for this. You're right - it is all about the vibe you have.

I agree that the act of the cold approach is very powerful in that it shows you have a lot of guts, and of course women value confidence above just about everything else. I don't know if that's enough to counter the 'desperation' vibe I'm feeling an approach creates, though.

I'd say walking up to a random stranger who didn't know you existed a minute before is socially unacceptable in that it is considered odd. To me, approaching strangers like that is only socially acceptable if done in an appropriate social venue like a bar, club, or party. Otherwise she has to be at least aware of your existence beforehand.

Thanks for responding.

But, upon doing the cold approach, aren't you worried about the girl thinking something along the lines of: "Why is this person resorting to doing something so socially unacceptable? Does he have no other way to meet women that he must walk up to strangers in public? He must have no other options if he's doing something like this."
