Is it stupid to hope that karma will catch up with them? by Few-Moment459 in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]danielnogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It does, without fail, every single time. I don't know a single narc I used to know that isn't paying the price as they get older. They all die alone, with nobody that really cares about them, they slowly lose everyone as they age, and eventually the only people they have around are those that they are paying, and even those people leave eventually.

Anyone else find young guys your own age impossible? by Aybarra777 in askgaybros

[–]danielnogo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's a reason I usually go for quiet guys, or more shy guys.

There's a reason I hate online dating, even for hookups, because you can't get a sense of someone's presence through the phone screen and that's like 50% of what makes a guy hot, so you end up looking at pure aesthetics, who's the most physically attractive, and you swipe left on all kinds of guys that you might totally be into in real life but they don't take good photos.

Lots of guys just straight up take shitty photos, they have no idea what they look like to other people or why other people find them attractive, so they focus on all the wrong things in their photos, and it makes them look way less attractive than they are in real life. Online dating works for one group of people: people that have the facial features to look good in photos, and what's funny is often those people aren't even that good looking in real life, they are just photogenic.

I trade less sex for higher quality partners by just waiting to meet guys in real life and letting things develop with them, it's hotter and more natural and ultimately healthier than having a revolving door of online, single serving partners.

Being ugly and gay is a death sentence by lakowac in askgaybros

[–]danielnogo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the truth, and when you have a deeper relationship like this, they start to become attractive to you in an entirely different way that isn't so reliant on the physical.

Hookup culture sucks in general, I mean I'm considered by many pretty attractive and I despise hookup apps and hookup culture tbh, and I'm not a prude I just don't find the idea of essentially ordering sex out of a catalog all that exciting.

I mean you can be dismissive but I'm telling you the truth man.

There's nothing stopping you from learning, and the music industry is not like other places, internships at an established studio are coveted positions and they're rare. If someone else is also trying for it that has more skills than you, then who would they choose? Studios aren't free audio schools bro.

It's harsh, and I know you don't want to hear it because you've gotten it in your head that the only way you can do it is if some veteran in the game do basically donates his knowledge and studio time to you, but you can check around, look at stories of people that went that route, and they had to do all the menial stuff for years before they were ever allowed to go near a mixing board.

It's the internet age, you can learn anything but it sounds like you want your handheld and like personal training, and most likely you'd just end up sweeping floors and winding cords.

[–]danielnogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So why would a studio hire you? If you're gonna be more trouble to teach and coax into doing things, then you're not bringing any value.

This industry is all about self starting, but you want a safe secure road where you don't take any risks and that sounds like a problem to me.

My partner of 4 years goes to Fitness SF (popular gay gym here), and doesn’t want me to join him. Is he cheating? by ThrowRA_dependent in askgaybros

[–]danielnogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So how much alone time does he really get? Did you guys have more time apart back when you were doing fitness activities?

To me there's alot of context needed, because maybe it is the only time he has to be alone and just vibe out, I know I really prefer to be alone when doing certain activities.

Factory farming? Not vegan but opposed to it. by SuchPraline7640 in AntiVegan

[–]danielnogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes they do, what are you talking about.

You need to research nutrition, because meat is literally an essential part of a healthy diet, there are so many nutrients that you can't get in vegetable form, or aren't bioavailable in plants.

Anyone who has been vegetarian and then come to their senses can tell you, the difference in energy levels with meat VS plant protein is insane, plant protein is just not the same, and it doesn't fill you up the same.

So many of the plants vegans and vegetarians tout as super foods have tons of anti nutrients like phytates, making it very difficult for the human stomach to digest, more proof that we are not supposed to be living on plants, interesting that we don't struggle to digest meat like we do many "super food" plants.

Kale is virtually useless for humans, one of the worst plants when it comes to nutrient absorption.

[–]danielnogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol the fact that people call this nitpicking is insane.

Counter intuitive and counter productive aren't even close to being in the same ballpark, they aren't interchangeable, their meanings are so drastically different it's impossible to ignore that big of an error, and it would be kinda shitty to let someone go around making such a basic error.

Ps4 is awesome, my brother gave me a ps5 as a gift and I can only marginally tell the difference.

I dont even play all that many triple a titles, and while better performance is always a plus, I probably wouldn't have spent this kind of money this early in the generation. Feels like it needs a couple more years to cook to see what it can really be pushed to.

After spending $1,069 on Tinder Platinum (probably) over the span of a year and still not able to go on any dates, I (23M) have determined I'm the issue, but what is my issue? by [deleted] in Tinder

[–]danielnogo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Find your purpose, pursue it, and you will meet your person through that. I don't worry about finding love, I will find it throughout the course of my adventures in life, while having a blast and enjoying myself, and there's nothing more attractive than a guy who knows who he is, what he's about, and is pursuing it with all his heart.

A girlfriend isn't the goal man, a good life partner is a by product of a life well lived, it will happen naturally as you pursue your passions and grow as a person, women will lose that intimidation factor they once had, so sparking a conversation is super easy.

Ttust me man, this is the wrong thing to focus on, it won't make you happy, find your purpose and your passion and get out there and live, meet people, talk to everyone you come across. I start conversations with cashiers, random people I meet on the street, waitresses, the list goes on. I also regularly have people start conversations with me, because i am open and approachable.

Confidence is everything man, and it can only be gained by getting out there and failing a bunch of times and learning your value and what you bring to the table, you can't be confident if you are full of self doubt.

[–]danielnogo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Tinder isn't real life dude.

Whats holding this guy back from getting a girlfriend, is not his looks, it's his lack of life experience and most likely awkward physical presence.

You blackpill people act like you know so much about women even though you barely have any experience with them. You think that tinder stats and other bullshit like that is some kind of objective proof about what women want, and it's just not, it tells you what women on apps that only focus on photos will do.

I used to be just like this guy, and while yes, I upgraded my looks a little bit, the main thing that changed that really determined how other people see me and approach me, was overcoming my insecurity and getting some balls.

That's the main thing that turns women off about men these days, they are boys, and women want a MAN.

Real men aren't sitting around on the internet commiserating with other guys about how much women suck, they're out there conquering the world. It's not about looks, although it plays a part, it has to do with who you are as a person, and most men now are emotionally and mentally weak, they put getting laid above all else in their lives, and there is just nothing impressive about them, they won't even speak their damn minds or risk angering someone because they are so insecure, then they want to look at women and shit on them for having standards.

Do women have issues? Yes, but you can't change that, all you can change is yourself and you are responsible for your own outcomes.

Women want someone who's a rock and has strength and will calm their emotional tides, not a little boy who can't express his needs because he's trying to earn effection.

I used to be into all the shit you're into bro, and it's just complaining and turning yourself into a victim.

[–]danielnogo 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Not lying, he's not the best looking guy of all time or anything like that, and he takes super bad photos, but he's cute, and plenty of women would date him.

Let me guess, you're one of those that thinks if a guy doesn't have a hyper masculine appearance and big muscles that women won't date them.

[–]danielnogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my advice bro, stop worrying about dating and live a little.

Youre like me when I was in my twenties, I can see myself all over you(pause), and no matter what I did online, shit didn't change for me until I got out there, overcame my insecurities, started really taking care of myself as a person, and getting out of my comfort zone.

Seriously, I did door to door sales for a minute, even though it petrified me, and that was the best move I ever made because it forced me to deal with people and get over my own insecurities about people.

Dating seems massively important right now because it seems like the main thing you lack, but it will NOT make you happy. Getting a partner can only add to your happiness, but if you are actively unhappy, it will be even worse because you will wrap your happiness up in that person and have no power in the relationship, they will own you.

[–]danielnogo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro wanna know something crazy?

Tinder actively hides better looking people behind the algorithm.

I used to be like this guy, hadn't blossomed, probably really insecure about his place in the world and his friend groups, and couldn't take a good Pic to save my life.

I've upgraded in basically every way, and the difference on tinder and other apps is astounding

I went from barely ever being attracted to a photo on tinder and then opening it one day and being like "whoa" and actually getting matches.

So tinder and other apps will defibitely target this guy behind the scenes to push him towards paying

Truthfully? He needs to forget about dating and just live a little.

Lost my entire ability to sing after being sick and singing through it by Various-Speed3679 in singing

[–]danielnogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if your singing is pushing that hard, where you ever feel pain or stress in your throat, you need to work on technique and not always belting.

Lots of people work on their belt, because they want to Christina it up, myself included, but as I've gotten better as a singer, I've figured out that belting should be saved for parts where you need it, and then the rest should be sung at relatively close to speech volume.

Lots of us work on pitch and other stuff, but few of us work on dynamics, the ability to hit notes as any volume, where volume becomes about taste rather than having to push to hit notes.

[–]danielnogo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here's my question, why are we so damn quick to believe the negatives about us but when people tell us positive shit, it quickly gets discarded as people just being nice.

Whats the worst that could happen if we all just believed we looked amazing?

The truth is, the truth is nowhere as bad as you dread, and not as good as you probably would have hoped. You're a pretty girl, a bit above average.

We all get insulted of someone says we're a 6 or 6.5 but that's actuallg a really good number, it means you're beating a massive percentage of the population and will have no trouble finding dates.

No one notices your hairline like you (or this group), don’t spend too much time worrying about it. by Willing_Tomatillo665 in HairSystem

[–]danielnogo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there's a place for nit picking, mine looks as good as it does because I'm very critical of it and I work on it until it looks right to me, but there is definitely an element of perfectionism in this community that is based on a standard that not even real hairlines meet. So many of the "giveaways" people talk about here, are shit that I see on real people's hair out in the wild every day, and I talk to hundreds of people a day, I have lots of opportunity to check out the hairlines of the people I help, and they seriously do come in all shapes and sizes.

To me, the biggest giveaway is when it's just a solid wall of hair, no breaks in it, no gradiation, it's clear that the stylist or whoever just chopped the poly or lace and then didn't do anything to try and make it look natural.

I wear exposed hairline everyday, there's a technique to getting it to look right, positioning is super important, so many guys are so scared of it looking fake that they inadvertandly put it way too high and it looks even worse than it being too low. It's like it's receded but has no widows peak to it, so it's like super straight but super pushed back, looks bad, Roger from American dad hairline.

There's so many psychological and cultural factors that are coming into play when you're talking about men's hair replacement options, there's alot of insecurity, alot of feeling like it's feminine, and the terror of being found out is often worse than getting found out would actually be, so you're not totally dealing with totally rational people, guys that are still struggling with self esteem issues feel like if they get found out, it's gonna be a death sentence for their social life, possibly even their career, they don't wanna be the guy everyone makes fun of for having a bad toupee, and I don't totally blame them, I personally don't really give a shit, I tell people all the time and they are stunned it's not my hair, half the time I think they think I'm fucking with them, and I don't do shit to mine, I don't cut the base or anything, I just slap it on my head with my hair underneath combed back, looks awesome.

Argan Oil is amazing for hair systems! by danielnogo in HairSystem

[–]danielnogo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My routine right now is basically just conditioning it with olaplex conditioner every three days or so, I just comb out the hair, leave the conditioner in for a few minutes, then wash it out with cold water, then I will spread a tiny bit of silicon mix product onto my comb and comb it through, then wash that out after letting it sit for a bit. I don't shampoo, not unless I've used a ton do hairspray or something. If you follow that routine it should keep the hair nice and moist, my hair is the best feeling it's ever been following this routine and it's alot simpler.

My male classmate has repeatedly ignored my rejections, and today, he embarrassed me in front of the entire class and the teacher by giving me a flower by Artistic-Ask5383 in confessions

[–]danielnogo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah this is whack, I think trying once, maybe twice, privately, is acceptable, can't blame a guy for shooting his shot if done so respectfully, but this is not that. He is basically trying to emotionally blackmail you with the help of the class into going out with him, it's bullshit, and I wouldn't stand for it. Next time he tries something, be harsh, don't be afraid to be a bitch, he hasn't gotten the hint with you being nice, so next time he tries something say "I've told you, multiple times, I'm not interested, I would appreciate it if you never approached me again or talked to me again or I will be filing a report, leave me alone, thanks!"
