Your mistake was getting together again with her when she was the one dumping you. I'd suggest to use your newly acquired time to better yourself instead of trying too desperately to find a new one just for the sake of it. Try to get healthier, richer, smarter, stronger, that way you will automatically become more interesting, then they will flock towards you all alone. Changing your personality or obsessing about making yourself more 'interesting' is useless if you want to settle down with one. It would only be useful if you try to bed one for a night or short-term. Anyway, good luck brother.

I was only working part time before, i think i already do all that stuff. Except get richer, but i've never been very motivated by money. I will try to work a bit more, though.

I think the most important thing is being the best version of your self and being picky on who you with. You have to have enough discernment to realize what kind of person someone is. There are some real special women out there, you just have to look for them. Most of them are not out partying but are like us and bettering themselves in some way.

And there are we men in there early 20's who are ready to settle down.

I know it's hard now t to be upset. The best thing is to get excited about the future and work every day on bettering your health. You could have all the money in the world and have cancer. What would matter then. Health is everything.

The more balanced I get the more control I have in my life. I have better control over my emotions, more self control, and can think so much clearer. Getting balanced is amazing. You all will realize it soon.

Yeah, well, I thought I found a real special one
I agree with you- health is wealth!

I'm 27 now, 28 later this year. Its a fucking weird time. The odyssey years are ending.

I know what you mean I am 30 and got pfs when I was 27. An odd time was made harder with pfs. You start hitting an age where you are definitely not a kid anymore and it feels like everything is down hill. But we are men now and with tei we can be the best we have ever been in our lives.

You can't dwell on the past. Live life to the fullest. Because of saw palmetto I know what it must be like to feel 80 years old and think of the good old days, but because of tei I have my health back and have so much to look forward.

I am living life with a completely different perspective. I am ready to live life with no regrets. It's a great feeling.

Don't waste time, and live your life. There are so many people out there who don't have the opportunities we do.

Look at the breakup as an oppurtunity. When I got my dick back last year and was able to start dating it was like the most no pressure thing ever lol.

Growing up and until I got really sick at 28, I was nervous on dates, approaching girls, Etc. I felt comfortable when I had a girlfriend for most part, but i spent way too much time thinking about the relationship.

Whenever I had a girlfriend, I thought of that gf as something that defined me. And I know a lot of guys judge other guys and define themselves by the looks of their gfs and their relationships.

But that’s just stupid. We can’t be defined by who we’re with. Or make it a major worry in our life. We have to make ourselves the best we can be and luckily from a physical, elemental perspective, we can now do that with stuff we are learning in health.

I’m like you @Aleksandr - just a weirdo so fascinated with the body, health, and nutrition. We are outsiders, but in reality we have best of both worlds. We get to feel well and be healthy in long run, while we will have nothing to worry about as we age in the ability to attract the opposite sex.

A truly healthy, balanced person with low toxic load in their mid 30s can look like a 25 year old with the maturity of a 55 year old. Health leads to emotional/mental maturity as well as physical youthfulness.

Just be confident in who you are and into what you love. Own it! Own the fact that you are you and this confidence will be an attraction to girls that will never end.

And lastly, in this world today. We don’t need one girl and be tied to relationship eternally. You can date, try a few girls, enjoy them, joke, laugh, and never ever feel pressure.

In this second chance of life I’m currently living, I realize how fun life can be if you live it without pressure on yourself and for strictly enjoyment and self perseverance.

 

[Goose12]

Have you told your ex how you feel? Just make sure you don't look back on this moment and wish you could have done this or that. Lay your heart on the line (but be a man about, it's not all your fault) and if she still says no, then be happy you did all you could do and move on. If she says no she is not worth your time.

A great video with lots of wisdom

Love the optimism mate. Yeah I figure my hair loss has stopped and I'm fit and hopefully my health improves or stays the same which is good.

You're right too man I think I identified too much with who i was with. We're all individuals at the end of the day

Some facts:

Yes I know some people do not like this, they rather want to live in Disney fantasy.

Remember women peak at around age 23 (prime fertility, beauty, sexual value). After 23 it goes down fast depending on lifestyle. A healthy woman will be able to peak longer but eventually they all hit "the wall" which means they will no longer be able to attract the same quality mate they could get when they were 18. I would say this is around 32 for most women. Some earlier and some later.

IMO she made a big mistake throwing you in the bin now - since she lost a lot of years this ways. It is going to be hard for her to get a high quality male at her age if she is around 28.

Women around 30 want to settle down because they know their value will get lower fast. This is why a lot of women now end up alone with cats and wine. They failed at their only mission in life: get a high quality male to commit to her.

At around 30 birth defects are more likely and her eggs are almost vanished. This in itself shows you what the peak age of a woman is. Men do not deal with this problem.

This is also why women at that age all of a sudden "fall for" the dependable nice guy. Not because she wants to, SHE HAS TO. It is her last choice. Other wise she will be alone for the rest of her life.

Men can peak much longer from 28 to 45 I would say. Some guys are late bloomers and might peak later. Even when a man is older he can get with a younger female.

Men are succes objects at the end of the day. The more succesful you become in life - even in niche things the more you can leverage this on the dating market. Same goes for looks, height, game (flirting, gaming women), etc.

I would say most men peak in their thirties if they have all their shit together and they don't get played by women - this peak can last a long time - just stay the path. And you can choose a high quality younger female at that age (22-26) as well.

Most men in the Western world are not "men" until they are around 30. I think this is also caused by the fact we live longer lives so everything is slower.

In the end IMO if you are a confident, masculine man you have the power in your hands, not women. It is the meek, weak little pussies who become their wives lapdog.

A woman (or multiple women) is a compliment to your life, not the main element. Men can be alone fine. Yes women are fun. Just like puppies. But in the end your mission is what matters. Whatever that mission is - you put that above everything.

In the end let this experience make you stronger and harden you.

when i was a prettier, gayer boy. i used to cry over lost women. cried my eyes out like a loser. esp at 18 19 20 etc. i was so emotional.
at 24-25, i saw the true darkness. after that never cried again. girls come and go. money and self-care is more important. now i only troll people to hurt their feelings. im back.

bitches come and go, the wutang is forever.

Fuck Crying. Only Cry Ice. @Aleksandr

"bitches come and go, the wutang is forever"
LMAO what a line

 

[Aleksandr]

Girls always have a Plan B on hand when they are dating. Always. Women are not romantics. They are very rational when dating - no emotion involved when it comes to making dating choices. When she is bored with you, which is likely after 6 years she will move on to another guy, just like that - if that guy is a "better choice" in her mind.

I have been super depressed many many times and it's times when I'm alone as well and my mind isn't occupied. As time goes on it will get better and better

Learn to be content with yourself, a girl won't make you happy longterm, you have to do that, it's your responsibility. When the time is right give some of that happiness to a girl.

And most guys jump on the first women that says yes and stays with them. We all have to better our selves and become the best version of ourselves, and be pickier on who we choose. It's crazy but most men are way more compassionate and caring than most women I see. It's hard wired into them to pick the best mate and go for the most alpha, and most are not truly ready to settle down until they're in there late 20's or 30's. Once they start to hit the wall and there market value starts to go down. A lot of this has to do with the current culture.

To be good looking as a guy is easy. Just be fit, make descent money, have your own place, and if you are ugly in the face grow a beard. If you have the three six's, six foot, six inches in the pants, and six figures then you're golden. It's all a game.

Went through pretty similar stuff years ago, until some of my mates were fed up: “motherfucker, if you need a woman to make you happy you a weak ass ******”. Safe to say my friends can be a bit blunt, but it was the turning point for me.

by 30, women are used up and are desperately trying to cling to their looks, and get married and have babies and all that garbage. whereas you can expand value still.

[Aleksandr]

Had some scalp itch this morning and a headache last night. I hadn't had my morning smoothie for a few days (rushed in the morning) so my magnesium intake was probably too low.

Had one this morning as well as a cold shower and it seems to have stopped luckily. I wonder if the hair test is being affected too much by this smoothie and I should have higher sodium and lower magnesium

Why the fuck are my adrenals so over producing...

 

[Aleksandr]

@Ingeno @Helen @Orion

I may have just stumbled upon the answer for high sodium physiologies

Note: I am taking tei as well ( min plex b and sympack according to my hairtest)

So i thought unfortunately high sodium types are at risk for both thinning (cos they're fast oxidisers) and receding (because their ca is usually lower than mg = calcification)

Mg is lower than ca cos sodium is high

What effects mg to ca ratio aside from having more mg foods? Carb intake. Less carbs = more mg to ca = no calcification = no receding.

What slows a fast oxidation down? Less carbs, more fats. Not super fast = no thinning


Essentially I've changed my diet the last few days and I feel great... my hair feels great, my skin looks great. I feel reborn.

Basically now I'm having a ketogenic breakfast (a smoothie high in magnesium: cacao, almonds, walnuts , coconut flakes and stevia fofor taste). A ketogenic lunch (2 cans of sardines for protein and calcium and b12 b6 etc) and 250g frozen veggies and whole egg mayo.

And dinner I slam the carbs in: 4 pieces of toast whatever else, 250g frozen veggies and can of tuna or whatever meat.

Seriously if you are sodium dominant give this a shot... I feel like a million bucks right now.
This isnt just for hair but for total health


Note: this diet is only for those with high sodium. It will probably mess up othertypes.t

 

[Aleksandr]

@Orion had some interesting info given to me about acne from a natural school of nutrition... they say high GI foods and dairy promote certain types of acne too, and any kind of hormonal source (i guess even meat these days has hormones added to it??)

Maybe this explains why my higher fat non dairy diet has my skin looking like a million bucks.

This is what TEI tells you to do when you are fast oxidizer to eat more fat. you have to follow the diet on the program

Nice!
what do you avoid/should avoid on this diet @Aleksandr ?
I also have diffuse/receding pattern, and have been shedding heavily for a couple or months now
Digestion not great and high adrenaline symptoms.. I belive I'm also a fast oxidizer

 

[brix]

I have low sodium and low ca. Thinning and receding. I thought high ca was calcification.

 

[RebelWithACause]

For me seems TEI is helping a lot with hair loss and scalp. I had some shedding on this last cycle but nothing changed in appearance. Now I am off the supplements and my scalp no longer feels painful on the crown.

If you look at my hairtest it is typical fast oxidizer I think. Could be that my hair loss was from not enough protein or maybe I pushed my oxidation rate too high all the time with high carb, low fat and caffeine and stuff. I was also a bit chubby (& muscles) and higher estrogen before ever taking finasteride. Now I am low BF%. My diet was really bad before finasteride.

I eat a lot of full fat dairy (calcium) and cooked fatty meat, raw eggs and butter. Plus spinach and other vegetables like brocolli. No caffeine. Some carbohydrates like handful of berries and rice on workout days and always with butter & Protein. I don't eat bread or grains except rice.

I cannot say if TEI is the fix for hair loss yet but it sure does help but it is not instant. The first cycle of TEI I still had painful/tight scalp for example and lasted the whole cycle. Second cycle also periods. I I think it can take a while if you are fucked up. Plus I am not 100% yet so for now this is all speculation.

I think things like fasting or IF can also help this. I read a study MPB is linked to metabolic issues like insulin resistance which IF and fasting can help. So eating food in a shorter eating window, losing weight, being active, etc. If you are fucked up I would do a bigger eating window like 8 hours (16/8 IF), if you are healthier you can do OMAD.

Case Report: Therapeutic use of intermittent fasting for people with type 2 diabetes as an alternative to insulin

Would be cool if I fixed hair loss but I would be happy to just get completely stable and pre-finasteride. We will see.

Nice!

So from a general stand point: avoid allergens. increase fats, you can try ketogenic for the first two meals of the day and only carbs at night.

From a mineral stand point: Avoid over consumption of calcium relative to magnesium

Are you a sodium dominant fast, or a potassium dominant fast? if potassium then this might not be for you
