The more I learn about testosterone, the more I tend to think that men probably behave better in society with levels in the high normal range as well as being more productive.
As a man who has taken TRT/Anabolics for years, I can tell you hormone levels have a much more complex relationship with behaviour than is usually portrayed/understood.
The usual portrayal is - more testosterone = more aggression, risk taking etc. - which isn't really the case.
Personally, I'm not hugely affected by testosterone levels. The difference between 600mg/wk and 200mg/wk isn't hugely distinguishable for me. I feel no real difference between those doses.
At lower levels of test, yes - the impact can be pretty profound in terms of lethargy etc.
Estrogen on the other hand is a very powerful hormone in my experience. At higher doses of test, without anti-estrogen, the effects become very apparent - random crying, paranoia, other stereotypically "female" behaviours.
Tren is a good example. Extremely powerful anabolic (500x more potent than test) which I've taken multiple times. Sometimes it makes me extremely aggressive. Other times it's had little to no impact at all.
I'm convinced dopamine, serotonin etc also play a huge factor.
Read More@Bozza When you consider that the average healthy male produces 42 to 49 mg of test a week and 70 is the usual natural ceiling, you seem good evidence that even at high doses Test is not the bogey man the left would say it is.
Misandry is quite deep in our culture.
I think when it comes to risk taking dopamine is a huge contributor. Getting a large dopamine reward for a risk taking behaviour makes risk basically a drug. I think it shows up quite well with what cabergoline can do to change someone's risk taking personality. But also when you just think about the kind of guy who naturally gets/ craves plenty of dopamine, that life and soul of the party guy, craving stimulation, he does seem to naturally take quite a lot of risks in life.
@Bozza You can have the tren, my friend. I have never had a desire to try it, and at my age, overall health is more important. My background is in powerlifting, and even enhanced lifters I knew kept things pretty basic. Tren wasn't common. I've heard it is quite effective, though.
@First-light It is bizarre at first glance how the medical establishment has no interest in treating low testosterone, but isn't surprising on reflection. I've heard that in Sweden, which is openly anti-male, medical providers simply won't treat it without men going through all sorts of hoops. Presumably, women who want to be boss chicks can get all they want.
The clinics here can be good but are pricey. Good ones look at everything, not just testosterone (e.g., thyroid, growth hormone, lipids). But it is fairly cheap and easy here for someone to do it himself. Good move on your part to stock up. I've heard it's easy to make your own.
I have never spent a dime on OF or escorts or hookers.
I do like the ocassional trip to the strip club (once every 3 months or so) but i have nothing against the women working there. There is a clear economic transaction: i pay them a few hundred for lap dances where i am feeling them up and playing with their tits.
I have no issue with those women because they are honest.
Whereas idiots like this woman is expecting me and other men to spend hundreds on her for merely putting in the effort to look pretty. So what? I don't give a damn. Unless sex is 100% guaranteed, i am not spending a dime on you.
This is why i respect strippers. Whereas women like this one in the video deserves zero respect.
Man, this should be an easy one. Your relationship is not her ex’s priority, and his writing her is out of her and your control.
Let her stick around. Saying “Thanks” is a common courtesy, not a sign of infidelity.
If it really is only that, definitely DONT bring it up, you will look (and in reality are) insecure.
But honestly, what are you doing? You’re so hypersensitive anything could make you break up. If you don’t want to be in the relationship just leave.

If someone feels the need to post “should I breakup” or “is this cheating” about the same girl twice in a month, the relationship is cooked anyway.

Where do I draw the line when it comes to an LTRs boundaries
Gents needed some advice. Ive noticed that in an LTR its key to establish your boundaries and knowing whats okay and not okay and in this case im not quite sure as to how to deal with things so here it is. I was spinning plates and now ive gotten exclusive with this girl for a while but not in an LTR with her yet and im still vetting her. Its her birthday coming up in a couple of days and I was just wondering if her ex boyfriend wishes her and she replies is it considered cheating? In my own values entertaining a former partner/hookup is cheating but where is that line? Is accepting birthday wishes cheating? Should I be having hard boundaries for this? Im not sure where to set the boundaries for these kind of things as there are 2 ways to look at it. One is that she replies with a harmless "Thank You" and thats that no harm no foul but we all know when we reach out to a girl after a while its never with pure innocent intent and its never for "being nice" and if she does reply we do think that we have a shot with her but also she should not reply at all which is the more respectful option and one that I would prefer. Now I dont know if I am being a bitch about this but I feel that I should have very high standards for an LTR. For context this girl has been very respectful so far, does not entertain other guys at all and has a strong belief that you should not be talking to your former partners/hookups. She also has a low n-count (3 including me) and we both are in our early 20s. So my 2 questions are as follows :
1) How do I set boundaries for events like these which are so much in the gray
2) Should I end things and consider this cheating if her ex does hit up and she does end up replying
Read MoreThe man I'm sitting across from has more than likely spent $$$ on OF whores
If you don't like a man doing that, maybe don't choose men who do it?
Also, even if he does do that, why does that entitle YOU (presumably not an OF whore) to a free dinner?
A woman who has made an effort to do her hair, do her makeup, pick out clothes
No one asked you to do all that, you did it because you're afraid of people seeing you in public without those things.
He's expecting me to split the bill
No, he's just not going to go out with you if you do not. You are free to walk away and leave him to his OF whores. You are free not to go on dates with men like that. The fact is, you don't have a lot of options anymore.
Their clients pay them thousands of dollars
Since you seem to be jealous of OF whores, maybe go try it out. See what it's like to have men buy you crap you don't need for sexual services.
If you don't want to do that, then maybe stop complaining. Men spend money on things when there is a reason to do so. You offer nagging and shaming and not much else. And remember, literally no man cares about your hair being done, your makeup, or your expensive clothing.
