    Vic's Progress Log - What’s wrong with my Hinge profile?

    Ah, and one more thing. I don't know about your brother, but may have an edge over him. You hunger for more. That's precisely why you compare yourself to him. There are others like you who are just comfortable with where they are, and instead you're improving yourself and moving forward and...

    Vic's Progress Log - What’s wrong with my Hinge profile?

    @Vic: I've been playing the scientific research game for some time. Let me give you some idea how it works: it starts with an "apprenticeship", you do a PhD with a prof for 3-6 years. That prof is your "parent" in a sense: he/she is supposed to bring you into the world of research, help you...

    Thanks for the tips! Funny thing, the cafe photo was taken by my brother. We tried to recreate a MagicFox pic and looking at it now, he's actually taking the pose you describe. Lesson learned for the future

    Thanks a lot for the advice! I have a whole bunch of variants, like these ones: And a few walking pics too, exactly like you suggest: The problem, of course, is that taking these pics really is just random, and these feel a bit bland or have some flaws, like my hair not cooperating. And when I...

    Ah, seems all the pics were dropped. Here are the photos. @Lord Rey took them. Maybe I'm a newbie, but I really think he did well. Here's the "other one".

    Hey guys. I'd appreciate if you gave me feedback on these pics. Those were my Tinder profile. I live in Prague now, I boosted on Sat night at 23:30 for 30min and I got 7 likes, 6 of which were too far away to be useful. Feels super shitty. I also have this one. I know it's a selfie, but I...

    Losing 1.5kg per week. Too much? Do I have sagging skin?

    Ok so the angle and the pose make a bit of difference. This is the most accurate pic: Also took this one, but my pose is off here: Yeah I don't think I'm close to 20% BF. I should have something like 5kg more to lose, +/- 2kg. Now that I compare the pics side-by-side, there's an abs outline...

    Losing 1.5kg per week. Too much? Do I have sagging skin?

    I'm 178cm. I posted this on other places too, people told me that I'm around 20% BF but that seems impossible. 1) I think I have an unusual bodyfat distribution, it seems to be mostly around my stomach. You can see arm veins on the pic, I can also see striations on my pecs when flexing them. 2)...

    Losing 1.5kg per week. Too much? Do I have sagging skin?

    So: I've been losing 1.5kg per week for the last month. Seems like a scary amount. My weight fluctuates a lot too, last week it started at 78kg, went up to 80kg, then ended at 76.3kg. I'm going to the gym 3x per week and I keep lifting the same weights, so I'm not losing any muscle. I worry...

    READ THIS - You MUST post here before you can post anywhere else.

    I, bigV, commit to working on myself and taking myself seriously. Polish expat doing a PhD in Switzerland. I don't even speak the local language. The loneliness here was my small personal hell. I'm close to 30 and soon I'll be forced to switch countries, so it's time to sort out my shit. No...
