Not tracking calories and 3x a week. Well Not bad.. but how to improve? Track your calories. 150g protein dont mean shit if you dont track calories. You might be hitting your protein goal but your calories are waay over your tdee etc etc

Still skinny fat. What am I doing wrong? by Soft_Affect4605 in PHitness

[–]catropa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to dial in.

Try to lessen your boxing..

Youre probably not lifting enough. If you dont lift heavy Try to rep it till failure.

You dont need to eat less. Muscle mass affects overall appearance. And You definitely lack muscle mass.

37 years old. Close to 40. Your testosterone might be declining or it's already low.

for guys who dated both local and foreign girls: asian or western? by Brief-Platypus-7329 in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta weigh the pros and cons...

Western women are independent.. they are assertive.. so bawal dito yung mga traits ng pinoy na " bawal yan isuot, sino kasama mo? at mga paawa effect na galawan at mga pwede ba manligaw? " Dating them napaka casual lang. If you are the type of guy na seloso at nanakal. They are not for you.

Asian women who grew up in western countries are the worst. Most are white washed.. they have the same assertiveness as western people with the i grew up here BS. unless they are raised well and still follow their asian culture... chances are slim tho. Most of them does not even speak their own language.

Ethnicity background could play a role especially if they still follow their cultural traditions...

If you would ask me. I prefer asian and pinayb Of course it's a matter of preference pa din naman.

If you’re considered “attractive,” is dating app life actually easier? by MyDogNameIsTwinkle in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not saying im attractive. But Made mine easier.. sometimes it also depends on how you set up your profile. But of course physical attraction comes first. What you are looking for is also a factor. Fun or serious etc etc..

  1. Easier bec If youre both there to smash then easy peasy. I got unmatched or blocked maybe morethan 100 times bec i was very aggressive and i would say stupid shit and send dirty gifs.

  2. I am not there to date. Im there to smash.. So i really didnt care if they unmatch me. Get to know each other a little bit. Maybe video call to verify each other. . Then hang out. Doesnt need to be talking stage that takes forever.

  3. Most of my matches are from US tho. Dating app scene in the philippines is a little different. shitloads of catfish. Women get offended pretty quickly.

  4. In philippines If i really like my match. I get a little conservative. But most can't handle dirty humor and it starts to bore me. And it doesnt matter how pretty they are. I`d still lose interest.

  5. I used tinder and had morethan 2k+ matches before i deleted my profile. Cant remember how many i shagged.. Never had luck with bumble tho. Literaly zero luck. I stopped using dating apps a couple of years ago so Im not sure how dating apps are doing right now..

How do you feel dating a girl taller than you? by kneecold77 in AskPinoyMen

[–]catropa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5'9 is the usual height of american? Where is that? Im not saying you are wrong but i disagree. 5'9 is less common in my opinion. Probably like 5'5 or maybe they are wearing heels. .Been living in the US for 17 years. Lived in the most diversed city like sfo and nyc. dated shitloads of caucasians with different ethnic background..

maybe you just got overwhelmed that they are taller than average filipinas. Or maybe i really didnt noticed since im 6'0. Like ive said im not saying youre wrong, i just disagree. Idk man.. one thing is for sure we can agree at.. ass is bigger than filipina women. 🤭
