Squilliam

All these guys bring up good points.

Studies show that most people (men & women) simply don't get around that much sexually. Studies also show that most people (men & women) are also in relationships. Studies also show that attractive women sleep around less (probably because they want boyfriends & have no problem getting them to settle).

Overall, I think it's easy to project male sexuality onto women. Human beings have an incredibly powerful, creative mind. It's incredibly easy to contemplate & assume how other people live their lives. Especially if they're women or men you perceive to be more attractive than yourself. It's easy to assume women happily enjoy that much play, or that men you perceive to be good-looking must be having the time of their lives. The problem with this is that you never know for sure what's going on, so it turns into a mental drain.

Are there men & women having sex with a ton of attractive people and living it up? Absolutely. However, the same situations don't apply for everyone. When you try to label everyone with the same agenda, and think they're enjoying stuff you never will... It leads to a path of misery.

Comparison is normal, but you can't let it consume you. It's important to get out of your head and stay in touch with the real things happening around you right now. Keep investing in things that grow your potential, and take action on them. The only thing you can control is building as good of a life for yourself as possible. This is a race that's only being run by you and you only.

Keep moving forward, brother.

That's the video I always send people to when looking for posing.

Also, the bit you refer to, it's about a study on how gender take photos

You may not have the body you really want yet, but your face is lean and you have defined features. You can easily just make a tinder profile and skip shirtless pics for the time being.

thank you for your advice brother, i feel i need to practice a bit more, my tecnique is bad, the texture of my skin in the pictures i take i worst compared to what i see in the mirror, the lighting always sucks and i'm still not comfortable, i will have to do it a bit more, the good thing is that i'm learning and becoming more confortable everyday

practiced taking pictures and editing with lightroom today
ps.: on my computer raw files appear as cr3, is this normal?
 
Your body language is frequently "squished", demonstrating small, inward-facing energy.

Be big. Extend your arms, let your shoulders fly. Show the world you own it, not the other way around.

Do you think that even in this "practice" phase i should fix hair style grooming posture etc?
 
Mo really showing up and being consistent.

I am proud of you brother.

You make me happy when you just keep going.

i feel i could do better, do you watch youtube or the news? i watch youtube while eating, look on reddit for combat videos from ukraine to watch gore stuff, and i stalk girls on ig with fake profile, i feel those are time wasting activities, i don't know if other people do that, they're like vices to be honest, i'm lucky enough to not have real vices, i'm not into any thing execpt two coffe per day (one normal one latte macchiato, mandatory) but i feel like this internet habits are like trying to stop weed for people like Squilliam maybe i'm exagerating because it's not that internet is a substance you eat but i always have this fear of missing out and i have to check and see what attractive girls are doing or something like the news. i guess it happens when you don't have a life
 
I don't watch anything, no.

Don't browse. Don't read Reddit or anything.

Hustle all day pretty much.

Trying to live my dream.

Totally obsessed pretty much.

Addictions don't have to be substance related. You can become addicted to almost anything. There's plenty of behavioral addictions. Sex, gambling, porn, etc. Even if these are not literal substances you are consuming, they still screw with your brain chemistry in a similar way to substances.

Technology is a very common addiction nowadays, especially social media.

Mindless scrolling triggers the reward system in the same way that recreational drug use does, so while you're not consuming anything with your mouth, in essence you're reinforcing the same system that gets people addicted to drugs.

I mean, we all have our vices, and as long at it's not consuming all your motivation to get up and change your life, I don't see the big problem with it.

Idk how much experience you have with depraving yourself of pleasure, but in my experience - the less comfortable day-to-day life I have, the more I'll be filled with this insatiable urge to make positive changes in my life. (up to a certain point obviously).

Imo that's the reason why no-fap and cutting out porn is a surefire way for a lot of guys to start actually giving a shit about their life.

I don't say it's ruining my life because i still do stuff, but besides working out and taking pictures i could do way more if i didn't waste any time on this stuff. Just to give you an idea i have the same canon rp you have, i bought it like 4 months ago and still don't have 6 pictures for a baseline tinder profile. I'm pretty autistic but if it wasn't for this time wasting activities i would have done already.

You can learn to use the camera in one week if you really put effort into it, not 4 months

That's true but you're also working on posing and fixing some mental issues which takes time. You're making progress and your pics have become much better since the start, you should take some pride in that.

Lighting will affect how your hair, skin etc looks, so I would say yes fix your hair and everything else if you can because you need to find the most flattering lighting that works for you. A nice thing I noticed about the EOS RP is it seems to take good quality photos in low lighting even on auto settings (I have the same camera you do).
 
hello guys i need some advice on what shoes to buy, the style i'm going for is "sexy edgy metalhead", i'm aware that most metalhead dress like depressed dorks thats why i'm shooting for something different, for example sleeveless heavy metal shirt, blue or dark blue jeans (not black jeans to avoid that doom and gloom look) and edgy sneakers that will make this look completely different from other metalheads, some examples of nikees searched for online
 
If I'm wearing a metal shirt I'm most likely wearing boots. If I'm just wearing all black, then I'm wearing Converse Pro Leather Ox White & Black.
 
I like it.

Black jeans don’t equal doom and gloom though. I think you’ll want to try ripped/knee slash jeans.

I’ll second that AF1s would probably look good, as well as black combat boots.

Add edgy accessories and a pair of jacked arms and you’ll look fucking sick
