Hello guys. I just got a hair cut and I don't like it. I look like shit and it makes me wanna kill myself because it looks really bad on me and it doesn't matches my face at all. There is any ways to speed up the process of hair growth so I can leave it as I had before? Google is not helping because now the internet is full of SEO shit and first results are always trash. So I want to get some real experiences from people regarding this issue.

Biotin supposedly helps your hair grow faster.
I took it for a bit while I was growing mine out.
The issue for me is I started breaking out. Maybe one zit every month.
I stopped taking it and my breakouts stopped.

Honest to god dude you might just have to rock a hat or buzz it and just let it recuperate.

I think it's because those hair growth things are usually blended with oils and stuff to promote hair root health or something.

How have the Chads you've known in elementary school or even from highschool turned out?
I've had the coolest friend back then but now I don't even know where he lives or anything else about him, for that matter.
Thanks

idk man he has a solid job at some office doing tech stuff, decent car, apartment in pretty nice part of town, still goes to gym regularly, still fit, has a girlfriend he's been with for quite some time now, seems to be doing alright mentally when I talk to him.

Seems pretty good to me.
>>
I've been to five different schools and I never even once met a Chad. One of my high school classmates seems to have become one in his twenties, though. He was kind of an airhead, inconsiderate, annoying, vapid before. I met him again a couple of years ago after not having seen him for ages - he spoke clearly and decisively, knew when to speak, how to speak. He carried himself like a man of substance. Seemed to have become more intelligent and deep. Additionally, he became super tall lol, was kind of muscular too and had a couple of tasteful tattoos. His fashion was good. AFAIK he's working a great job in tech. It really left an impression on me how much he had improved. I think he'd probably pass for a Chad now, certainly looks and acts like one.
>>
>>31128256
>Chad has always been a bro, never a bully.

It's because they're afraid of getting punched in the face
>>
>>31127913
Most of the kids who were mean to me in school are fat tradies with mid girlfriends now. They don’t seem miserable or anything but you can tell their best days are behind them. The actual Chads (i.e. the mr. perfects that everyone liked) are also mostly tradies or personal trainers but not fat and have good looking girlfriends.

One kid I was friends with later started bullying me in school - it went beyond male banter that I was too autistic to understand, it was just mean. He messaged me on Facebook yearsa after to apologize to me. People change a lot after high school. The biggest losers I’ve ever known have just refused to move on from that time in their lives - whether because they loved it or hated it. Just don’t be like that, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
>>
>>31128216
>>31128256
Most of the kids at my school who complained about bullies just hated other kids and didn’t know how to relate to them. They brought it on themselves, in other words. Contrary to the Hollywood stereotype (which is mostly an expression of bitter chosen Jews alienated from society for the same reason), people who are good looking, physically fit, and well-liked are usually the nicest - what do they have to complain about? Why would they want to be mean? There’s plenty of opportunity for them everywhere, and they don’t guard it jealously.

I think you’ll need to stop being a pussy. Molestation isn’t bad at all. Really be honest with yourself and ask why you feel like shit, you will notice you feel like shit because society deems it as something that you should be traumatized about. Nothing more, nothing less.

Cutting contact is a good start. I found that I couldn’t really even process what happened until I stopped speaking to my abuser. This might be more difficult for you, but as little contact as you can. I also had good luck with EMDR. It’s like every year since then I’ve moved on more and more. Honestly didn’t think I could ever be a normal person and really struggled to function daily. I feel happy every day when before I don’t think I ever really experienced it. Shame is a terrible thing.

Good luck forever. I really hope you find what works for you. It is completely worth fighting for your own peace of mind, self worth, or whatever helps.

25 y/o and been fighting depression for a few years now. I have a degree and graduated from university but still feel so far behind in everything compared to others my age. I want to travel and explore the world more than anything. I sometimes feel like a teenager in an adult's body. I look at instagram and see people my age, some younger, flexibg abou their well paid jobs or travels abroad. I really want to travel but you need good money to do so. I never travelled abroad much as a kid since my family come from poverty. How the hell do peopld in their 20's get the money to travel all the time?? is it rich parents? God there is so much I want to do but I feel like a passenger in my own car, other people are reflectong on their life so far while I'm still waiting for life to start. Thanks for taking the time to read. Does anyone else ever feel this way?

Retards like you will never learn

Been using this girl for sex and she keeps on freaking out that I'm sleeping with "5 girls a week". I keep telling her no I'm not, I don't have the time and energy but I'm also telling her that I'm not obligated to sleep with her exclusively (which I would think should excuse me from her freaking out on me every other time I see her). She's also mad that I only call her like once a month (I'm genuinely busy with school) and I prefer staying in with beer and pizza to going out.

I feel like a piece of shit but I don't find her company intrinsically rewarding, I just like the sex. I'm trying to tell her to leave me if it's too painful but she keeps apologizing after every time she freaks out

I've been isolated since 2020 basically. Pandemic wiped out everything at first, now I just don't get along with anyone. Uni's full of trannies and DEI admits and I'm a minority (school's 10% white). Asians/Blacks/Hispanics hate me for existing so I can't approach them (tried multiple times, got along fine during high school, doesn't work at uni). All other whites are either Redditor types or LGBT. Social life has consisted of lurking on /pol/ and Twitter for about 18 months. Most advice boils down to "join a club" but they're full of middle-aged wine moms and the same groups that I just described. I have 1500 natural test levels and I come off as uptight/intense to everyone which also makes it hard to get along with the types that you normally find at modern universities. Just needed to vent. I apologize for the rant

We both agreed that doing that would just prolong the inevitable. Because after the three years she would try to get into medical school and that wasn't guaranteed that'd it be in my state.

>What is /htgwg/?
How to Get Women General is by men, for men, about women, so bring all of your questions about getting and dealing with women here. Some anons on this site actually get laid, and some of those even want to help. If you're trying to meet and date women, then this is the place to ask questions, seek advice, and share experiences. We know how hard it can be. We got you bro.

>What is /htgwg/ not?
These threads are NOT for whining, moping, incels, volcels, MGTOW, hopelessness, or demoralization. We're all aware that meeting and dating women is hard these days, and even harder for some, but /htgwg/ is for men trying to overcome the challenges. IGNORE the posters who complain, who have given up, or who insist that there's nothing they can do. This site has other boards and threads that they can fuck off to.
BE SMART: Spot the bait, don't reply, and DON'T WASTE TIME ARGUING WITH THEM!

>How to ask for advice
Context is important: be more specific than "This girl ghosted me, why?" We can't help if we don't know the situation, so try to provide as much (useful) info as possible ("I was at the bar, this chick was checking me out..."). What's your relationship with the girl? How long have you known her? Any conversation screenshots? Etc...
Don't forget to ask an actual question.

I guess I fucked up again somehow. Met a nice girl on a dating app, same interests, same kinda career prospects, met up for lunch, walk in the park and saw a movie. It was great, had a great time, she messaged me first after saying she was super nervous and wanted to do it again. We talk for a week for all the things we're going to do on dates together, she wants to take me to a lavender farm, etc. Next weekend rolls around, she cancels, not feeling well. Schedule again for the next week. Midway through the week she messages me and says that I'm wonderful but she's not ready for dating right now.

I live in such a remote spot of the country (northern Maine) that I only get one match a year or so across all dating apps, and blowing it again to "its not you, its me" is so utterly demoralizing. I had another failure to launch last year with a girl, 5 dates in, slept over at my house, but she said she just wanted to stay friends (with benefits) and I wanted a relationship, so that ended too.

No advice to get I guess, I just need to rant somewhere.

I don't think so, I'm just wondering if I should write back for the sakes of catching up. I mean shit went down but it was a long time ago. Shouldn't I forgive by now? Not like anyone else cares what I've been up to the last few years.
>>31134648
>What do you want? Good lay or something serious?
I forgot to mention that she lives far away enough for the possibility of sex to not really exist
I just think talking a little could be fun, I don't have anyone outside of family who has been willing to have me around for that long.
>a fetish for younger men

april?

A close friend of mine spoke to my girlfriend in private and tried to get her to break up with me (she told me about this). My friend told her that since I only make around 50k a year, she should leave me and go for someone who makes more money. He isn't interested in her himself, it was just general advice. Would it be an overreaction to stop being friends with him?

Assuming that your gf is actually telling the truth, yes, that's something worth parting ways over, forever.

>>31136647
Perhaps it may be good to endeavor in a proper investigation. To be able to hear your close friend's side may clear up a few inconveniences.

In wild chance, it is not improbable that your close friend may have uncovered something sinister or worse, and having done so may or may not have struck a bad cord with your partner.

It is best to be absolitely certain, you may or may not be burning a bridge to an innocent man, or someone who is more convenient removed.

He is not your friend. And this is the proof.
