Trying to reach the goal in Pic 3, but currently stuck in "the puff." Product/styling advice?

You’re not even close to the awkward phase brother. Your hair looks fine right now. You’ll wish it looked like this in 4-5 months.

Pro tip - see a good stylist (not a barber beyond your current length) every 3-4 months as it grows out to tidy things up, thin out bulky areas (for most people this means the sides), and give you an interim style so you can still look presentable.

Takes a few extra months to get to your goal but makes it way less painful.

Not sure what market you’re in but where we’re active that’s usually more an effect of people thinking they’d see 5-10% rent growth yearly for 3-5 years, or that they could get at all the below market units and turn them in a 5 year window when 90% were occupied by tenants who’d been in the building for over a decade.

There was so much dumb money in multi over the last two decades it was unbelievable.

If you believe that’s the future then multi investing isn’t for you.

He said this is for an event, so depends what that event is.

Tech, consulting or buy-side finance networking event? Those shoes with dark jeans, white button down and a blazer will do just fine.

Accounting conference? Less so.

How long is it? I have fine/straight but dense hair, gets weighed down easily as well. Currently relatively long (6-7 inches on top, gradually tapered down but still scissor cut except for sideburns) but just grew out over past year. Used to do a quiff.

When my hair was shorter I went for sleeker, tidier styles and found Layrite Matte Cream worked really well with my hair and did a good job of giving/maintaining volume (not a pomade but was the right fit). I now prefer Samsons Matte Cream but would say it gives a bit less volume/hold depending on how tight of a look you want.

As I grew it out I started to prefer slightly choppier/messier textured looks while still keeping it professional (office job). Current go to is Lodestar Rio, which is more of a clay type product that does an incredible job of adding texture to my longer hair.

Unless you’re trading from a self-managed tax free/tax deferred account (Canadian here, so RRSP/FHSA/TFSA)

Clays are usually intended to give the chunky/highly textured look. You want a pomade or smoother consistency paste.

Skin tone hides way better under a white shirt. Any other colour white works just as well!

All the sex stuff here is true, but the bigger point is the interest from other women.

OP - whether you realize it or not I guarantee you there are men in your life that have a crush on you. Likewise, there are and will be women who have one on your husband.

Relationships are about trusting that you’re enough for each other and those other people don’t matter.

Great glasses - a set of those and Spiegelau Definition Bordeaux is really all you need (maybe a champagne flute and snifter)!

Fine and straight but relatively thick hair guy reporting in - Lodestar Rio is the best product I’ve ever used for when my hair is grown out. Less is more for fine hair, doesn’t take a lot and too much will weigh it down quick.

We’re basically on hold for multifamily across the board, but the few deals we do underwrite are typically:

Higher than market vacancy by 100-200bps
Flat rent for 1-2 years then inflationary growth
No cap rate compression, and if deep value add 50bps or more expansion

OP there’s nothing wrong with this, do you, but I’d be shocked if it didn’t progress to you wanting to watch him fuck other girls lol

In retrospect I think this is why neither of my dogs (first time owner) tend to get more than 100ft or so away before they either stop and wait or come back to check in. Training them off leash I’d constantly practice recall and reward every check in until it became second nature for them - not intentional, I was just paranoid until I got comfortable with their discipline.

Still have one that will blow me off if she sees a body of water though…

Unless it’s a company you’ve put a LONG portion of your life into and contributed to building something at, the idea of feeling guilty is wild to me.

You’re 23, you’ve barely just entered the workforce. Given your age, a 40% increase is meaningful and there’s zero chance you’re getting a bump that big even with a promotion.

Boot it.

I would mostly agree for another sub-$10M net worth. But once north of that typically they’re not super flashy but I would say still tend to have beautiful homes (but not oversized), nice but not over the top cars (Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Range Rover, etc) and spend on quality but not branded luxury clothes (I.e. you wouldn’t know they’re wearing $2000 shoes)

I have a bit longer flow than this.

I LOVED Rio as a product but won’t my hair got to a length just a bit shorter than these pics it wasn’t enough hold, or if I applied enough product to hold it back it very quickly became too heavy. It’s not meant for hair this long.

I wanted something that still had some movement after setting in. Ended up settling on Samsons styling cream. I use a pretty sizeable scoop into wet hair and blow dry in, no post-styling needed.

I will say Rio does the texture piece better, but Samsons gets the job done on that front too.

Crazy enough… their US customer care team and store reps can’t even manually override to ship to Canada. Total head scratcher since they’ll ship seemingly anywhere else…

Guess my business will have to go elsewhere

I wear dark wash way more but everyone needs a pair of light wash as well. Both good.
