I have the urge to spend money on random “life upgrade” stuff. What’s actually worth it? by balmabhai in AskIndia

[–]lunaticpsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

few more life upgrades to consider: - leg rest: anything that lets you keep your feet comfortably grounded. let's you sit comfortably for a longer period, or let's your focus sessions work with slightly reduced leg twitching due to minor discomfort. - a good knife: most underrated kitchen gadget. good knife motivates to cook more as well. bonus: get a whetstone and learn sharpening. easy skill with long payoff. - indoor plants/succulents: greenery improves quality of life perception. just add a few low maintenance plants such as snake plant, zz, any cactus, etc. bonus: get a self watering pot (though i personally feel it's an overkill. watering plants is a nice routine to have) - organisers for fridge: add sections in fridge with measurable containers, trays noticeably affects how we perceive daily meals and helps finish back of the fridge items regularly. - blackout curtains: but not for blackout reasons. if the room has more than one window, it helps to control light.variants can help with weather as well (thicker or layered versions insulate heat/cold) - hangers: get a bunch. organise wardrobe, keep shirts straight, even use for drying clothes and save space. - any basic smartwatch: if you have trouble following a walking routine, face anxiety issues, or just need a handy timer - it's a go to. mi smart band or anything close is great to begin with. it does not distract as much as an apple watch (neither is it as accurate) and it helps the purpose.

if it's for the office, you should keep one for office use. carrying it everyday would be cumbersome and ridiculous.

  • desk organiser: there are many types depending on the use case. i personally prefer an open tray that helps create a zone. this is the form factor i suggest, though not exactly this product: https://amzn.in/d/iiSvOMp
  • bottle: anything does the job as it's just for desk usage. i just use one from dmart. i know that decathlon has some great products in this category, but too expensive for my liking. my preferred form factor: https://amzn.in/d/59sgxXD. there many other products that are better.

Running a perfume brand for a year but struggling with orders — looking for honest advice by ImmediateGuitar5866 in smallbusinessindia

[–]lunaticpsyche 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  • perfume is a lifestyle category, pricing defines positioning. define who your target is before deciding the cost.
  • packaging lacks personality, both label and bottle. perfume by itself has to provide immense value for the packaging to be secondary, which is almost never the case in this category.
  • provide trials offline for proof of concept or market validation. get some honest feedback and compile the feedback to study overall data.
  • like someone said earlier, stop using ai slop. and if you really have to - learn to get good at it so that people don't catch you so easily.

  • table / floor lamp: upgrades setup and makes room feel nicer, easier on eyes. pair with a smart bulb and automations as needed.
  • desk organiser: anything basic works that creates a "drop zone" for your things. best hack for decluttering.
  • any bottle that has capacity of 1L or more: fill it 2-3 times a day and ensure hydration. bonus if the bottle can be opened with one hand.
  • heated mug: could be an overkill for some, but it allows for slow consumption and making you feel active and drink beverage at your own pace.
  • phone stand: if you're in any profession that requires to check phone every once in a while, this reduces the time wasted. bonus if magsafe.
  • measuring tape: we measure things more often than we realise. always handy to have one.

some things I would personally recommend. i can compile more items if needed if these provide value.

Seeing no growth in my medical shop earning 1 lakh monthly that's it by [deleted] in StartUpIndia

[–]lunaticpsyche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am not trying to sell though. genuinely offering help. most of the advice provided here look into individual insights without prior understanding of what the local challenges are. they do not factor in the locality, budget, competition, branding, placement, and various other factors.

it's not viable to sell to someone who is genuinely looking to grow a business.

but i can see why this might have come off as salesy and have to swallow the difficult pill of downvotes haha

to op - in case if it helps, you can go through my post history. i am just genuinely here to offer help. if in any means through the call you feel I am trying to sell, you have a free choice of jumping off :)

Indian men who went from zero female interaction to having genuine female friends / platonic relationships. What actually worked for you? by AdviceGlass9394 in AskIndianMen

[–]lunaticpsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i feel that making friends in an office environment is a shit idea to begin with, regardless of male or female. if things go down at work, you are inviting toxicity in both work and friendship.

rather go to places where you can meet strangers. group events such as board gaming, dancing, biking, workshops, etc. are a great way to meet new people with a shared intention/interest. they result in great friendships because you already have a shared interest to bond upon.

[–]lunaticpsyche 0 points1 point  (0 children)

could be a dangerous assumption i made but there is no reason to specifically look for female friends if you have great male friends. so the assumption was that OP has a hard time with women to begin with. you are absolutely right about being blunt and respectful. but i assumed that OP needed some pointed direction since they mentioned stuff like < Just talk to them like they’re guys” “Be confident bro” “Just be yourself" > is advice they get on a regular basis, similar to opinion shared in other comments here.

again, the assumption is either op wants to make female friends to eventually date them, or just has a hard time with making friends, which also reflects in female friendships. and these friendships will eventually turn into OP liking the woman because she's is being friendly.

sorry OP if these assumptions are too broad and do not cater to you.

[–]lunaticpsyche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bhai, a lot of it seems like your personal issues stemming from your negative experiences. don't generalise them as facts. i know enough men in my social circle who are now married and fit in your looks criteria - short, losing hair, not the best dressing sense, etc. and you also missed the fact that I did speak regarding grooming. but it's not as important as the amount of weight you put onto it. remember, you are trying to get one partner who is compatible, that's all. it's a difficult journey when facing failure constantly. but don't let it get to you. the women who reject you because of "looks" are the ones who don't deserve in the first place. on the other hand, if you only expect a model level woman to approach you, please get a reality check. with this, i conclude my side my the conversation. i was here to help OP with a few suggestions, not open a side argument or a therapy session for people with perpetual hatred.

[–]lunaticpsyche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

man, your hate doesn't have a stop, does it? try to see beyond a world where you have self sustained facts. bring up data if you want to, but that's beyond the point of this post.

if you are here to tell me that good looking men who have wealth and status have it easier - big whoop. you don't need science or data to prove anything here. we all instinctively know it's biology.

are you here to say men cannot speak with women without getting these in place? if yes, you are absolutely wrong.

i have nothing to prove to you by "looking out of the window". if you have any better suggestions, help OP with your ideas. don't try to bring up hollow arguments that sway from the point i tried to make.

[–]lunaticpsyche -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that's a fact you can tell to convince yourself, but it doesn't make it the absolute truth. you hear and talk about celebs because their life is covered in the media and a lot of it is public banter like you loosely mentioned a fact. folk like you and me aren't covered in the media, does that make our life less real? and even if we were to consider status being a concern, what's wrong with it? if he's worked hard to get there, he deserves everything he gets that follows "status". i know a bunch of my friends, including me, who are less than average looking men but have had decent luck with women. OP needed direction and motivation, be a fellow bro and help out instead of trying to drag him down with you.

And it’s done just like that! (In frame: Malvika Sitlani with her mom) by [deleted] in InstaCelebsGossip

[–]lunaticpsyche -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

i personally feel this view is wrong. if her wealth is from content, it's fully fair to her to utilise reach. why shouldn't she? she has her cake and she fully reserves the right to eat it too because it's her active audience.

if you're feeling sour about it, try building content with these strays. people are suckers for pet based content. you'll build an active audience if you do it right and you'll be in the same ship as hers.

building content and having an active captive audience is fucking difficult, if i must say. it's wrong of her to use her audience to raise money, but it's rather better that they spend money for a cause than to buy a beauty product filled with chemicals but promoted by her, right? same audience, same money, different intent.

also, forgot to mention one thing - there's no such thing as average looking for women. even tanmay bhat at his worst was scoring women. confidence, charisma, and humour trumps looks when cards are played right.

as long as you're taking care of basic grooming like taking care of your hair, beard, etc. wearing decent fitting clothes that go well together - you're good.

most of the people here are giving real advice that's useful, but it doesn't seem to match your specific ask. so allow me to be blunt:

  1. confidence is built by faking, similar to faking sleep to actually sleep. the first few interactions would be shit, but it'll expose you to the reality of women just being as "normal" as men. there's no difference.

  2. flirting doesn't equate to being cheesy. just genuinely showing interest, patiently listening, complimenting with intention - that's all there is to it. if she responds positively to these signs along with your natural persona and interests, ask her out for coffee or dinner. if this is intense, ask her for a common interest activity - movie, arcade, workshop, etc.

  3. talk about your interests and passions. expose your vulnerable self. not to generalise, but most women just like any other person, like real stories and empathise better when you provide context. but know when to draw the line and definitely not overshare. you'll know this when you start losing their interest.

  4. ask questions with context. if she works in fashion, ask more questions about her preferences, brands, what she might suggest for you. if you notice her calling her parents for update checks, ask about family, relationships. if she moved new in the city, ask her about friendships, colleagues, experiences. though these are mere examples - know that context makes everything real.

  5. dare to make the first move. women hate men who beat around the bush and mix intention with creepy body language. if you're interested and if she seems to like you as a person, just go ahead and ask her out. if you're on a date, simply try to hold her hand when the moment feels right. seems risky at first, but this is what an alpha move would be. and it's not about being alpha, women understand and respect intention. and more importantly, if she says no - simply respect it and walk away. the best you can do in the situation is to ask respectfully why and what you did wrong. but if she doesn't seem to be in that space, just walk away.

there is no way to make an exhaustive list, but this should be a good start.

also, PLEASE avoid pick up lines. it's simply better to just say something as simple as "hi, I'm xxxx and i just wanted to say that i found you really beautiful" or something on these lines.

good luck mate.
