My hair is a thick fro right now and it is just hard to manage. I have been growing it out for almost a year and haven't been styling it at all. I really don't know what to do with it. I think it is too much for a random barber to deal with it, especially if it's a boomer who doesn't understand why I need sulfate free products. I tried calling places to ask but after they say hello I keep hanging up. Mainly just because it is hard for me to ask for such specific requests. I even tried writing down a script.

"Hello, I just wanted to check in to see if you had experience with my hair type. I only use sulfate free products on it because I have noticed that if I don't it gets even bushier than it is now, and it is pretty bushy"

But as soon as I hear the phone ringing I just can't say it.

Is there a way I can look at a salon and just tell that they would know how to do my hair so I don't have to call in and ask? Do I need to go to a salon if I have thick long hair? Or do masculine barbers know how too? I will admit that I don't like it when men touch me though.

It's just kinda sad tbh. Is there anyway to fix eyes like that? A couple of funny comments though:

Have you got any interests outside of chasing women? Any character? Humour?

Try developing a personality outside of chasing women, and then more might like you.

Don't be desperate. Be interesting.

[OP]well I'm funny in a brutally honest type of way. I have no filter sometimes I just say it how it is. I'm known as being nice, its not that I'm a pushover I just prefer to be nice but I've been told I'm too nice so idk

Can you afford to see a therapist?

This will solve his issues!

[OP]I have medical insurance, but I don't see how I'd need a therapist. I have to cram years of experience I've never had into an almost 30 year old man I'm almost 30 im 25 the time for learning about dating has passed

Be a better person. Being "brutally honest" just sounds like you're mean to people. You get off on insulting people it sounds like.

You need help dude

Seems like a little bit of a leap lmao

[OP}I'm very nice lmfao all my coworkers wouldn't be giving me hugs or buying me snacks if they didn't lol. I just like to real and authentic no gimmics

"Brutally honest" always equals =mean.

Think about that. Life is already shitty enough for MOST people on this earth.

No one needs a "Brutally honest" friend or boyfriend. We already know about things we lack. We don't need to be told.

Good luck dude. I hope you consider what I said 🙂

Or yall just overly emotional?

And most women may know what they lack, but when they act like they are perfect 10/10, thats when you get told your flaws🤣

Another insecure man who is mean to women to try and get with them, because he bizarrely thinks that will work. 👆👆👆

Right, this has never worked, ever.

[-22]This chick is giving you terrible advice. You don't need a therapist. There are plenty of men that are actually terrible human beings that never get treated by their coworkers this way and they have women eating out of the palm of their hand. Women give dating advice based on their idealz, not their realz. 9/10 women have a story about fricking an butthole that they regret, albeit usually a very attractive one.

Just look at her 1st comment about "things other than chasing women". That's not her looking out for your best interests, that's her trying to shame you (and anyone else observing) into being an ideal boyfriend/husband in her mind.

You don't need to spill your guts out to a therapist, you need to practice your social skills, become more familiar with women (spending time with cougars could help in both areas...substantially), and improve in other areas of life (health, physique, money and etc).

But what are your interest?

[OP]I watch movies and read books. I also play video games

Good. Those are interests, being funny and honest are not interests.

[OP]I cook, I clean I'm good with money and I know how to massage a woman's feet. I also know how to take care of someone when they're sick.

lmao

Hit the gym, grow a beard, wear sunglasses or tinted glasses and start follow a healthy diet. Don't be a douche and cultivate some character and work on yourself. Be a gentleman and try to be the very best you can, and that will outweigh negative aspects of your appearance, trust me.

This is a solid Part A

Part B:

Be a cub to the cougar women and learn how to navigate the kitty and hold a conversation (older women are better conversationalists anyway for a series of reasons). This will build his confidence and social skills/charisma which are absolutely fundamental for a man that isn't conventionally good-looking.

Having your money right after playing the field with cougars for a few years also doesn't hurt, which could be a huge plus with cougars because they're less likely to expect you to pay for shit and in fact, they may even throw some money or essentials (clothes, phones and etc) your way if you know how to ask for it without coming off as a Gigalo (which will come with experience) .

Make sure you have:
1- Condoms
2- Lube (she may have some herself)
3- The confidence to hold hands with her in public, especially if she takes you somewhere nice or has basically taken on the role of a Sugar Mama.

lmao wut. !fellas does this work?

As per title

DISCUSS, uhh, also I realize it depends on the piercing but I'm too lazy to break the vote apart

!biofoids !gaybros !braincels

Hair Grooming:

As a male with hair, I generally keep it short. I'll do the short on the sides, long on top thing, but not in an r-slured way like every image result that came up that will only look good for a week. I get haircuts every 1-1/2 - 2 months myself. As far as styling goes, if I feel like I need it I'll use something like this:

It's pretty annoying though, I only use it because my hair just will not abide sometimes, and it can be useful when I need to be in pictures outside.

Long haired hippies and women, feel free to add! I know we have at least one long haired hottie here with gorgeous hair. Bald men, keep yourself safe!

@XY says:

If you're gonna spend that much on American Crew hair, switch to Redken Clay Pomade. It's much lighter, less greasy, has a great hold.

Get some Paul Mitchell Tea Tree shampoo because it feels minty fresh.

Find a proper middle aged straight male licensed barber of your same race and do not go to female or gay stylists ever.

Facial Hair Grooming:

Safety razor all the way for clean shaven. I don't think there's much ways to go wrong beyond using stainless steel. I'm probably missing something here, but it's pretty simple. As far as beard trimmers/electric go, I personally have had much better luck with the corded ones. Yeah it's less convenient, but they just work better.

@poopdick says:

This is a pretty great trimmer, I use it pretty often to keep my beard short and then I use a safety razor to keep everything else smooth. I get my hair cut every ~5 weeks so I don't have to style it that much, I just use a little pomade sometimes.

@pobrecito says:

For beard grooming a wooden comb is a must.

@WayOut says:

I bought tiny hairpins like those in the picture, and I use them in my beard. I fold my beard backward under my chin and clip it. It's invisible from the sides, and from the front it looks like you have a well rounded and trimmed beard. This way you can have a navel-length beard and not bother trimming or shaving every day.

Facial Makeup Grooming:

!biofoids

Ideal Products for Grooming:

I use the shampoo with the kangaroo on it. I also keep some Head n Shoulders on deck and use it once or twice a week just in case. Don't use conditioner! It will turn you gay. If you're already gay, congratulations! You were conditioned as a child.

I've been using Nivea body wash lately, it is pretty moisturizing and works well for the winter months when skin gets drier.

Fashion Grooming:

I'm plain colored tees/jeans all day. Get some good jeans and shoes and couple of nice jackets and you can't go wrong all winter, as far as casual goes. Those are for life, then you just buy some cheap butt tshirts that you can throw in the trash when they get dirty, or donate (LOL!). For summer, get some button up short sleeve shirts, plain shorts and boat shoes. EZPZ. Or just a plain tshirt again, white black whatever color. For more formal just have some button ups and chinos or something lol, and a couple of suits. And nice shoes. IMO as a dude the more you try to stand out, the more likely you are to look r-slurred. So just play it safe here unless you have some eclectic fashion sense (you probably don't).

!fashion school me

If you're an old boomer replace all of this with wearing a tucked in polo, you will be rewarded with endless MILFs if you're rich and drive a Corvette.

House Grooming:

I recently got a Roomba which has been nice, it works pretty well and I like that it can go under my couch and bed. For everything else or more heavy duty, I have a Miele vacuum that has the separated vacuum part thing and the rolly main vacuum, it works pretty good and has multiple attachments. Pretty neat! For mopping, I use a swiffer with the rewashable mop heads. Don't be tricked by the disposable Jew! Your wallet will thank you.

For lawn mowers, get a gas one, ideally with the self propelling wheels. I use my parents' old one that doesn't have that, and it's annoying. Maybe the electric ones are good now, idk. I use my parents' old one.

@pobrecito says:

Electric mowers are good for small lawns that are at least semi-regularly maintained. Well, that battery operated ones are every corded mower I've used sucked performance wise and the stupid extension cord gets in the way too much. My only complaint is the batteries are expensive.

Miner Grooming:

I like to refer to the Hard Rock Miner's Handbook for all my mining needs! It's a 360 page PDF you can see here:

https://www.stantec.com/content/dam/stantec/files/PDFAssets/2020/stantecs-hard-rock-miners-handbook.pdf

Don't start off too strong! Miner grooming is a patient man's game. Just like eggs, you don't want to crack them too early! Haha.

Pet Grooming:

I got one of these Furminator things and it helped a lot with pet hair management:

I had another one I used regularly without realizing it wasn't getting my dog's undercoat very well. There are probably some other brands that work too, not trying to shill this one in particular. But they are not all the same.

Grooming, or, How To Have the Best Bachelor Party Ever:

Just have fun my man! There's no right or wrong way, it should be what works best for you. If you prefer something more lowkey, don't let your bros talk you into doing something you'll regret. On the other side, don't let anyone stop you from having fun! Basically, just do whatever you want! Your b-word fiancée is probably cheating on you on hers anyway so frick that hooker bro! It's best to get these things out of your system before you're put on 24/7 surveillance and your wife tries to give you AIDS. Haha!

Nostril Grooming, Scents & Aromas:

I like these things, there's probably better options but they last for a while on low which is all I care about:

Do NOT get one of these, they are so fricking loud holy shit:

I have no idea how they got to market release being as loud as they are.

And you?? Please add all suggestions and I will add them to the main post!

What're you wearing for the weekend?

Long story short, $2k+ pants for $90 at thrift store. Also got brunello cucinelli suede pants for $40 and they retail $6k lol

Ralph lauren purple label suede lambskin cargo pants. That's a mouthful. These pants are the best constructed garment in my closet by FAR. They are incredibly well made, the little details blow my mind. Not to mention the suede is the nicest leather I've ever felt.

thread is actually pretty funny, OP gets pretty salty about people disliking it

Dang you paid 90 bucks for those wack pants?!? You got ripped off.

You have no idea what you're looking at 🤣🤣

I'm looking at a goofy butt outfit. That screams homeless guy who raided a clothes donation bin.

My favorite reddit phenomenon is when people who have no idea what they're talking about, comment like they do, and then instantly expose themselves. Happens every time

Look at the comments to upmarsey ratio, man. Your shit's wack, end of story.

Instead of telling yourself other people don't know what they're talking about, realize this outfit is goofy and improve on it next time.

Also that pose in the first pic?!? Lmao gtfo.

Yes the comment to upmarsey ratio is certainly telling of the average style in this sub - you are definitely right about that. I do think there's something kind of magical about how me wearing some clothes can make another grown man so bitter and angry. It's like me existing bothers you for some extremely weird reason but it's very entertaining. It makes me feel good when someone comments like this because i know I'll never be down bad enough to have to write hate comments to feel better about myself 😅

An easy semi-formal fit for today. Can't get enough of this rather loud blazer, but I will subject it to a small bit of tailoring in the near future to perfect the fit.

Blazer: Duchamp

Love this multi-check blazer. Green, grey, dark grey, pink, and a slightly more vibrant pink. Very Tommy Nutter. Tough one to pair, but I've managed to amass a wardrobe that fits well with enough willingness to experiment.

Overcoat: Kilgour

Another brand that sadly died out. Such awesome pieces that were so incredibly lightweight in their base construction, but retained an excellent clean fit and were made to an incredibly high standard. It almost feels like you're wearing a shirt with this coat. Not the warmest due to its unlined construction, but I don't mind. Super soft wool and cashmere mix.

Vest: Polo Ralph Lauren

Oddly enough, I kinda blind bought this cotton cable vest. I didn't realise it was actually for a teenager with the sizing, but due to its larger size, it still fits. It continues to get plenty of use.

Tie: Canali

Had this one for years. Super versatile and relatively subtle with the stripe and navy base colouring.

Shirt: Eton

Love this grid patterned button down shirt. Eton shirts are really good and I'll be adding more to the collection in the future.

Pocket Square: Massimo Dutti

Not my favourite brand as I hate fast fashion and what it stands for, but it's the only square I have that actually works with this blazer. I can take solace in the fact that I didn't buy it direct.

Trousers: Polo Ralph Lauren

Lovely trousers. I've written at length about them before, but I will simply state that you should always wear your trousers full and high waisted to keep that elegant silhouette! Slim doesn't look good and it never will. Stay full.

I've had to do a touch of repair work to get them back up to snuff, but they will always be a winter favourite.

Scarf: Polo Ralph Lauren

Can't go wrong with a pure cashmere scarf in grey.

Shoes: Crockett & Jones

Only the British should feature in your collection of shoes. Nobody else can do it proper. The 348 last is awesome in this chisel toe Oxford. Supreme comfort and very stylish.

Socks: Pantherella

Lovely dark grey prince of wales check socks. I wish they were knee highs, but they'll do for now.

Watch: Rodania

Not mine, but on loan to test if it's still keeping time after being heavily magnetised.

This facial oil is $2.42/ml and probably works no differently than The Ordinary's squalene ($0.35/ml)

but it would look so pretty on my bathroom counter

This sub is pretty funny, there are a ton of posts, but the posters themselves seem to hate it every time.

First thing in the morning I'll put on an ice pack on my face. After I remove the ice pack, I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face- an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine.

I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol (because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older). Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm, followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

Do you where a watch? I don't. These are the watches I have:

As you can see, they are quite off due to me not wearing them. What watches do you wear? Apple Watch? Are you rich and will post your collection of Rolex in the comments? Anything goes!

Women, you can post watches as well. You have my permission.
