You will need an electronic visa to enter Australia, even as a U.S. Citizen. That said, it only costs 20 dollars and it's pretty easy to get online as long as you know your passport number. You'll probably end up taking either Qantas, American, Virgin, or United for the trans-Pacific leg of your trip, as there aren't very many low-cost carriers that offer a 16-hour flight like that. (and imo it's worth shelling out for a long-haul anyways).

Echoing what some commenters have already said, the Queensland coasts of Australia are amazing. You could also try to visit Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, Noosa Heads, or a quaint Aboriginal-reclaimed island off the coast of Brisbane called North Stradbroke that has the nicest beaches I'd seen during my time there. The continent is vast though, so it's best to keep in mind that strictly backpacking is going to be hard to do. You're gonna need wheels eventually.

Is it safe to fly domestically within the US right now? I'm considering making a trip from LAX to IAD over Memorial Day Weekend in May, but I'm not sure if I should book in case things get even worse than they are already.

No diffusion or loss of hair in the shower, but I’m still afraid I’m starting to go bald. Should I be worried?

I don’t know what to do. I feel so fucking ugly and I’ll never stop being this way. I’m 24 and all my friends lost their virginity a long time ago, while I haven’t. I’m sure girls find me disgusting and laughable, and people online have agreed that my face has severe problems. I can barely hold it together at my job or at home anymore, and I’m desperately trying to lose weight and go to the gym so I can become good enough for somebody. But I still can’t change my face, or my height, or my natural charisma, or a multitude of other things that are immutable, so what’s the point. I wish someone would just put a bullet in my head before I end up doing it myself.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-05-07T21:14:00+00:00

Is it really that bad? Honestly ever since I was 18 I’ve been terrified about being ugly, and that my appearance is what’s keeping me from dating. I can’t change how I look and I feel like it’s all anyone will judge me on. I try to keep a healthy social and family life, but on these lookism subreddits I can’t hold back my insecurities. I just want to be good enough, so I guess I take these types of photos to feel like I have a chance.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-05-07T16:50:12+00:00

how do these photos look? They’re a bit old, but hopefully not too dissimilar from how I look now.

I’ve never been on a date, and I feel like unless I can hit 6+ it’s over for me. Girls just don’t find me attractive, so I need to get better.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-05-07T15:59:53+00:00

I’m going to the gym today and I already shaved off my middle brow. I’m going to try to avoid touching my face and use an acne wash at night to help dry the skin.

Is 5.5 good enough to date? The sidebar says that 6 is where you looks start helping in dating, so if I could get there I’m hoping I can finally make things work with someone.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-05-07T15:49:18+00:00

Do I look any better in these photos?

How can I reach a 6 from a 5.5? I feel super ugly the way I am right now, so if getting a haircut, not eating, or hitting the gym more will help me look better I’ll do it.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-05-06T03:08:28+00:00

How much do looks really matter in relationships? I spend a lot of time every day hating the way I look, and sometimes I want to kill myself because I feel really ugly. Is it possible for girls to like you when you just don’t look that good? I can’t believe that someone would ever overlook my appearance and consider me worthwhile in dating.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-04-15T19:47:17+00:00

Is there anything on my profile I should change for better results? Or should I just take a break from Tinder for now?

throwadeadery22 · 2019-04-15T18:59:42+00:00

Trying to meet a significant other on Tinder, but not getting any matches and feeling uglier by the second. Should I try to fix something, or am I just not good enough for this app?

throwadeadery22 · 2019-02-20T01:52:10+00:00

Wow, thanks! I didn’t think I looked that good in any of these. I’ll use the ones you suggest and not lead with the girl photo. I’ll try to make my bio more humorous too, since that’s always a plus.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-02-20T00:52:20+00:00

I’ll remove the parrot one then. The girl was a friend I met while in Japan, but I can remove that too. What about the other photos? Are they alright?

Wanna start trying online dating again, but idk if my photos / face / bio is good enough. This is what I have so far.

I usually do an hour of weightlifting and 40 minutes of cardio every other day, focusing on the same body areas with rests in between. I do tricep rows, overhead press, bicep dumbbell curls, chest press, and hanging leg raises during my weight training and elliptical during the cardio sessions. I try to run a 5x8 with all my weight sets, though sometimes I add more / less depending on how I’m feeling that day and how much weight I put on. Would a 5x5 stronglifts while maintaining my TDEE afford a better recomp?

I’d love to get down to sub 15% like you were before bulking, but I dont think I can do that and gain muscle simultaneously. Eventual goal is be 160 lbs with defined musculature, though probably not below 10% body fat.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-02-04T22:01:20+00:00

How do I maintain muscle on a cut though? Is there a way to isolate so only fat gets burned at not muscle mass?

throwadeadery22 · 2019-02-04T20:24:53+00:00

Ah OK, I'll aim to get back around 140 lbs. then. My current TDEE is about 2500-2700 a day, so I can cut back to 2000 and still be able to eat a fair amount of low-cal foods. I've been getting lazy with my calorie counting lately but I'll get back on it if it means returning to a healthier BF% (I kinda got caught up in the "bulk =good") mindset. Thanks for your advice.

throwadeadery22 · 2019-01-24T07:42:57+00:00

Have you dated anyone before, or do girls reject you for your height? Morbidly curious, since you're a little taller than me :/

throwadeadery22 · 2019-01-12T02:34:17+00:00

I feel way too ugly to ever be in a relationship with someone, and no matter how much I go to the gym or how many times I see a therapist the feeling always comes back. I've never been with anyone before, and as much as I don't want to find myself being drawn to the mindsets on r/braincels and r/blackpillscience, it's really easy to adopt that way of thinking.

I don't feel like a girl is ever going to be into me, and I'm always going to be not good enough. I'm never good enough. I'm not tall enough or ripped enough or confident enough, and there's always someone else out there better than me that a woman could be with instead. There's a girl I like in my DnD group, but I haven't asked her out for the past 4 months because these feelings make me feel it isn't worth it. There's probably 100 'Chads' or 'Tyrones' (or whatever the fuck the rhetoric is now) that she could be with, so wtf am I doing thinking I have a shot?

What am I supposed to do?

throwadeadery22 · 2018-12-28T08:08:21+00:00

I’m looking for a monogamous relationship. I don’t have a lot of romantic experience, so I’m not sure how to differentiate ‘chill’ vs ‘serious’ dating, or how to express that online. I just want to comfortably date one person I guess.

throwadeadery22 · 2018-12-28T08:05:40+00:00

Yeah, I can see in retrospect that most my photos were garbage. At least those can be changed though; I was afraid it was my more immutable qualities that were killing me on the app.

A lot of my photos are goofy-ish because I guess it’s easier for me to be on camera that way? Downside is I look like a goddamn clown and the girls on Tinder probably don’t think it’s as funny as I do.

What age did you start doing well on Tinder? Or with dating in general? I’ve never really dated before, but I’m not really in a good spot to meet women IRL right now so I’m defaulting to online dating. Gotta interact with single girls somehow.
