When I said incel, I was making a crack at you, but nothing serious. I have a girlfriend, and when I don't, not much trouble doing my thing.I used to browse Lookism and all that weird incel sh*t regularly. sh*t always had me stressing that I wasn't good enough. When I finally quit that sh*t it took me almost 2 years to regain my self esteem. When I started getting back into the dating scene I basically had to relearn everything, it was a disaster lol, I felt like a monkey around humans.. had to teach myself how to get a date, how to behave around the girl that I'm dating, how to talk to her, what places to take her, etc. This is how far you are left behind when you waste a lot of time drowning in self pity on toxic Internet communities, it's just horrible.
I finally stopped worrying about my hair so much once I hit nearly a year into my 2nd transplant. which means that I had a pretty satisfying result I guess, hah. The only exception is selfies under a very bright light and an over the head angle, which I try to avoid.
The girls were still attracted to me when they saw me irl and said that I look exactly like the pics, despite all the hair problems, which really helped my confidence a lot. I've been dating mostly 6/10's and I think that I was always the attractive one, so I guess I'm like a 7/10. Online dating has been harsh and I just never get to date girls above my looks level, rarely even my equals. A lot of the girls look better in the pics than irl, which results in a lot of disappointments, but I still have faith.
Keep in mind that I'm from a small and slightly conservative place though.. if I lived in some major city, I'd probably be smashing b****s left and right (already tried Tinder Gold and had decent results).
Finally gonna start a new job in a big corporation next week, expecting to meet new girls in there.
At this point all I want is to maximize my sexual function, it'll give me a peace of mind and I can handle the rest of my issues, so I'm not on finasteride and I'm currently in the process of quitting Lexapro.
I do know what you're talking about, about being clunking around women if you haven't been around them n been successful. You don't know what to do, so you think you have to be over the top, or overly boisterous, etc. Just whatever mood you're in, you have to be yourself in that mood. If you're particularly up, then great, you'll naturally be a little boisterous, but don't fake it. Unless you're a f*****g pro, they see right through that sh*t.
I am really am lucky being pretty decent looking with a good sense of what I should wear to maximize it. I really only started taking min about 2 years ago (didn't do a whole lot), and just started finasteride about 2 weeks ago. I'm going to give it a year n then contemplate a transplant. I'm a lower end of moderately diffused thinner, with a pretty diffused hairline about 2/3 inch deep, especially at the corners, forelock not so bad. So we shall see if I get something decent out of finasteride, hopefully.
n online dating is a b**ch, it's made for women to pick the top 10% of men. They get enough guys trying in person, online is just to go for the gold.
You'll have much better luck in person, as hot girls will go for a not the best looking guy at times, because they get to get to know you.
I do fairly well online, but still, those top 10% of females don't want much to do with me. Mainly because I have a kid, which I understand. I don't even want to date a girl with kids. If I say I don't have kids, some of those hot girls will respond n go out with me, but I don't feel like lying. I haven't online dated in a couple years, but now that I have some money, I could probably show some of it in the pictures, and get some more of the good ones, that is, if I didn't say I had a kid. Money with a kid is close to the same as no kid and no money (reasonably speaking).
