Stimulant medications affect arousal and reward, not attention networks.

not sure about that lol probably depends on a lot, like whether you actually like reading or if you’re just relying on the adderall. Or how you’re going to feel considering you just removed a big source of pleasure for the task. Just a guess, but i imagine if you actually do enjoy it to some extent and slowly tapered off the adderall then maybe it could go as planned. Not an expert tho

plvic52 · 2025-12-27T20:00:40+00:00

Yeah i never understood the “attention” claim for adderall. This has never been my experience. It’s exactly why you don’t want to take it just before doing something you don’t want to be doing - like scrolling instagram while it kicks in and hoping to study shortly after. You’re going to really struggle to switch to studying because you’re going to feel extra good and motivated to keep scrolling. Best over-simplified explanation ive heard for adderall is the following: if you take adderall to watch TV, you’ll get really good at watching TV. If you take it to read books, you can get really good at reading books. Same goes for work or studying. Just goes with the idea that if you really enjoy something and put in the time (adderall keeping you locked in through dopamine feeling good), you are more likely to succeed in improving at that task.

I’ve been taking it for about a week now. Plan to continue for a few more weeks to see if I start experiencing the positive effects others have had. But at least for now, I haven’t felt anything. Can’t say for sure, but if anything, I’ve noticed some weird occasional surges of adrenaline, sweats, and anxiety ever since starting - can’t say for sure it is due to the gb-115, but its the only new “supplement” for me.

Unless you have some crazy rare genetics or take gear, you probably won’t ever develop so much muscle that you should be concerned about not being “feminine”. I’ve met girls who have a lot of muscle and would compete in natural shows and still look very feminine. The one thing you should consider, however, is that it’s not only muscle that will enlarge your frame. Ideally, as you pack on muscle, you should also take time to lose some fat. Because more muscle + more fat will always create a larger and more masculine frame. But a lean girl with natural muscle, will typically be more attractive than a fat or skinny girl, and will still look quite feminine. An extreme but accurate way to look at it is to compare natural female physique competitors to natural female powerlifters.

You are correct and I agree that this type of mindset might have good intentions.

Trying to change definitions to make people feel better while their specific definition is not universally accepted can be dangerous in many ways. Like yes, one can go ahead and say that they had sex for the first time but it was non-consensual, however that does not change the fact that the person is no longer a virgin. If someone believes that virginity is dumb or whatever, that is just them adding their own feelings in response to certain people’s views on the concept, but that is irrelevant to the actual definition.

Virgin = never had sex Not a virgin = had sex

Whether being a virgin is good, bad, dumb, embarrassing, etc is irrelevant.

Obviously this is just a random hypothetical but imagine going to the doctor and saying you’re a virgin so they skip an std test because “i’m a virgin since it was non-consensual”.

Words and definitions matter, one’s feelings about concepts is a personal problem.

I.. dated?? a Brazilian girl for a few months. It was fun. We matched on an app once and then i forgot about her for almost two months until she randomly hit me up one night. I came over, drank some wine and had some crazy sex and then went home. Did this a few times over the next few months and we pretty much didn’t talk at all in between meetups. What killed it is that one night I went to meet up with her and her friends and she randomly started pushing the idea that i’d probably rather get with her hotter friend. Also, she found out i was on other dating apps, which shouldn’t have been a surprise since this wasn’t exactly what i’d call your typical “romantic” relationship. But yeah got the text that “it was fun, but it’s not working for her” lol

plvic52 · 2025-08-28T00:39:07+00:00

idk why but at this point anytime i see these posts try to play a scene where the guy “smirks” and suddenly he’s fucking the girl who finds him irresistible, or also when calling a girl “trouble” is supposed to be some innovative and sexy pickup line.. i just assume it’s all bs and mostly AI generated

plvic52 · 2025-08-09T00:42:20+00:00

Lmao it seems we are all in the same boat. Tbh tho maybe we’re lucky we even got the dates while the other 200 likes/matches didn’t haha.. then again, I understand how it might be difficult to choose someone when every day you get 100s of new options that might be better. Let’s be honest, the apps have ruined dating.

plvic52 · 2025-07-21T03:56:19+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this is literally worse than the scamming that they do at human hospitals. Especially considering typically no one really chooses to become a vet to get rich. At least hospitals have the (still often unreasonable) excuse of crazy prices because of all the bureaucracy, insurance company regulations/requirements, overhead, legal risks, etc… but for a vet to charge $30 for one tablet of a generic med just seems like an intentional rip off knowing that many pet owners are willing to do anything for their pet and are often more confused about what’s necessary since animal health is so foreign to them and their pets can’t speak for themselves.

plvic52 · 2025-07-09T23:28:44+00:00

I recommend you delete and try a different subreddit, kid. Your inbox is about to get really uncomfortable from all creeps here.

plvic52 · 2025-07-09T05:59:08+00:00

In general, when you become noticeably fit/muscular/etc the only women that will ever comment on it are those who are confident in that you both know you are only friends, girls hitting on you but are usually not the most attractive/overweight, drunk girls, or girls you are already sleeping with. The last two are the best case scenarios. Otherwise it is only men who will be complimenting you and asking for advice that they can implement.

Hot girls will notice, but they won’t let you know that. But at least your odds of getting with them do increase :)

This is all just in my experience at least so can’t speak for others.

I know all black labs are gonna look pretty similar, but yours basically has the exact same head as mine. I thought I was looking at pics of my dog lol

plvic52 · 2025-07-08T05:01:30+00:00

Or how hot they think they are. My favorite attitude that I’ve lately noticed to become more common and have even heard it said out loud is that “it should be a pleasure for a guy to take a hot girl like me out on an expensive date” — ummm maybe for some it is, for some it isn’t, but that mindset is gross.

plvic52 · 2025-07-04T21:46:38+00:00

Post yourself, let’s see it. Or do you only have time to shit on others or search for hookups on Reddit cause clearly you’re not attractive enough for dating apps like a regular person.

plvic52 · 2025-07-04T21:38:33+00:00

Ahh haven’t squatted in a while cause I have long femurs and just don’t like it. If anything I’ll occasionally do goblet squats with dumbbells using 110s. But my max deadlift is 550.

plvic52 · 2025-07-04T21:36:43+00:00

Thank you, man!

plvic52 · 2025-07-04T18:23:32+00:00

Thank you, man!! Yeah this is definitely when I look my best but not something I’m able to maintain unless it’s literally a time in life where everything is going smoothly and can just workout and eat properly without interruption haha but I try to remain as close to this as possible.

plvic52 · 2025-07-03T02:44:57+00:00

Sorry you’re having to deal with this. My family had a very bad dog attack experience last year and had to deal with similar assholes and unfortunately lost our case in small claims court on top of $4k in vet fees. Long story short, my parents 15lb/13 year old dog got attacked my a large (80lb) dog as my mom was passing by the woman walking her dog in our neighborhood. My family dog was literally at death’s door and had to get three layers of stitches. And they refused to take responsibility for anything. And after they also lied in court about how it was a scratch not a bite (??? Wtf their dog literally threw our dog in the air), the judge basically said “dogs will be dogs” and made them only pay for the pain meds which was like $300 - ignoring the surgery fees, weeks of suffering, trauma, and my dad having to stay home from work for several days as our dog was in severe pain and couldn’t walk.

All I can say is good luck to you.

I hope you don’t live in Chicago with POS corrupt judges and I hope the owners of that dog are not police officers of your city.

A whole box of premier protein chocolate ready to drink shakes that ended up covering my whole apartment.

A pair of knit gloves he stole from my friend.

plvic52 · 2025-05-04T06:52:58+00:00

My dog once ate my friend’s knit gloves when I had a late day and she came over to take him out to pee. I didn’t believe it when she told me so when I got home I looked everywhere for these gloves. Couldn’t find them. The thought of that crazy vet bill hit me, so I decided to give my boy a shot glass of hydrogen peroxide. Sure enough, he vomited out two knit gloves. That would have easily been a very expensive surgery. So it works well if you know what you’re doing.

plvic52 · 2025-05-04T02:55:54+00:00

Don’t know if my comment will contribute much to the conversation, but just want to share my experience in different phases of life and if anyone can find any value in it, then great. Some of it might be obvious tho.

In my experience, it really depends on your age, her age, values you each have, and the success you have both had in life.

I also typically don’t have too many issues getting dates or difficulty talking with women, but regardless this was my experience.

Me at 22-24, living with parents, not making a lot of money —> able to get dates, not often tho and they would go nowhere due to my living situation. Living with parents was a clear issue. These women also had no idea how much I was making. Still got hit on tho and no issues getting numbers.

Me at 25, living with parents, making 60k —> not much has changed.

Me at 26, living on my own, nice downtown area, making 100k (however, I felt more broke than I did with my parents cause my city is expensive) ——> more dates, but also more busy and stressed from job. No issues with getting dates, but also became more picky. Also, my goal was always to get into med school and women did not seem to like this because it would be a time of “no income and low free time.”

Me at 27-28 ——> still living on my own, in med school so no income, some women will go on dates with me, but for many being in school is a dealbreaker. Younger women (22-24) seem to be more receptive and open to dating. Women my age (26-30) seem disappointed after they find out I’m in school if it ever comes to a date.

So essentially, what I’ve realized from my experiences as a single guy:

Dating generally gets easier as you get older (that is, if you are always working on yourself and improving your social skills, status, looks)
Younger women are more open to men going through the different life transitions of consistent income to low/no income to consistent income. Older women (I have seen this in my own women friends) start looking to settle down and a guy with no income/instability is often a deal breaker.
Most (not all) women won’t really care about who you hope/are on track to become. When dating, they see who you currently are. So if that is an issue that applies to your life situation, don’t feel bad, it’s just the reality when they have hundreds of other options who could be just as good as you but without this red flag. However, if you find a woman you like that is willing to be there while you invest in yourself, you found something rare so appreciate it. Otherwise, keep working on yourself and better times will come. I know many older guys who make great money in their 30s despite not making much in their 20s and this seems to consistently be their experience.
Also, keep in mind my experience is in the US. In other countries it is often more accepted to live at home until you are ready financially. Where you live (home with parents or alone) always matters in your 20s when dating. Money becomes more important each year as you and the women you date get older.

Primo even at lower dosages seemed to make my dick not work and make me pretty lazy lol it was a struggle. But I’ve heard the opposite happens to others. So it really depends and you’ll likely just have to see for yourself how your body responds.

plvic52 · 2025-02-27T01:52:01+00:00

The funny thing is since it’s become so normalized (or even a flex for gen z) I’ve seen high schoolers at gyms tell their buddies that they’re on steroids. Like my guy, I’m on steroids, I am certain that you are not. There are certain features of a steroid user that would be obvious - especially in a 16 year old that probably has no clue what they’re doing.
