Likely gonna be roasted, but what can I do?

Been debating on how to improve my appearance/fashion sense, and could really use advice.

My hair is pretty bad, and I got no idea what to do with it. I dunno if I wanna get a new pair of glasses or switch to contacts.

I also dunno what casual wear is really worth it, I usually get Uniqlo jeans because they'll hem them(I got short legs, wear 34x29 despite being 5'10/169 pounds). Also Adidas/Under Armor for shirts/shorts.

I have skin tags under my eyes, my derma is gonna rec me an eyelid surgeon soon and getting them all removed.

I just started lifting, and am aiming to go down to 150 pounds while lifting as well because my shitty genetics cause me to lose face/neck fat last.

Any tips appreciated.

>>18479871 (OP)
I reccomend enclomiphene and mk-677 taken together or testosterone 250mg per week.

>>18479876
Lmao

I recommend lifting something heavier than 5kg more than once a month

>>18479871 (OP)
just keep lifting and do cardio
it'll be better if you have someone at the gym explain to you what routine you need to follow to get your desired body
i think you will have to do both weight training and cardio
for your hair, i think a shorter style would suit you (maybe just spiked or short messy), but i recommend going to a proper stylist (preferably after you have achieved your body goals to better match your new face)
for the thing under your eye and the part of your nose, go to a dermatologist
it looks like you can't grow a full beard, but when you get built and have a decent face, try growing some scruff instead of a full beard (keep trimming it to maintain a length)
>my shitty genetics cause me to lose face/neck fat last
i think that's how it works for everyone haha
good luck, don't give up

>>18479909
Yeah, I've been doing cardio for 6 months now but only just started lifting.

Short and messy might work, and yeah no full beard.

Appreciate the tips, any advice on glasses vs contacts?

>>18479903
Already doing so, progress is gradually being made

>>18479871 (OP)
You dress like a total slob. Get some fashion sense and a different haircut that actually suits your face.

>>18479914
guys wearing glasses are my type but i dunno what women think of them
once you lose weight and see some changes in your face, i think you should try out different frame styles and shapes
i would avoid contacts if i were you
seen someone struggle putting them on as a kid, it was quite painful to watch

>>18479917
I am aware, I was actually 97 pounds heavier in December.

I somehow dodged loose skin entirely via retinol, collagen peptides, and vitamin C.

I had a rough few years, my childhood best friend passed, lost a girlfriend, lost 2 cats, lost another GF, have issues with my psych meds, and more. Kinda shut down for a bit, got fat, and stopped caring.

Been trying to get back on track.

Any tips for a haircut?

>>18479921
I'll keep that in consideration, thanks.

>>18479934
One more your age, as in without bangs. Buy some LL Bean button ups and chinos.

>>18479871 (OP)
you look old but you style yourself so juvenilely
get contacts, get a more mature haircut, dress more nerdy/maturely

>>18479940
Basically what this guy said. White man gorp maxxin. Maybe some Columbia fishing shirts for the summer, buy some keens, merrels, or mainline new balances like something from the 990 line. Get a nice leather belt, buy some vintage polo button downs. Not sure how old you are but I think it would work.

>>18479983
Thanks for the tips

>>18479871 (OP)
keep getting in shape.
learn how to style your hair. i got the same hair type. looks like ass if you just towel/air dry it but if you throw in a prestyler (sea salt spray with a hydrator, a thickening tonic or a texture mousse depending on the look are good choices) a little clay or cream with a matte finish and get a blow dryer and learn how to use it correctly (watch tutorials for your specific hair style you want to go for online) it can look amazing. sounds like a lot but once you dial in your routine its like +15 mins on your shower.
start learning how to dress thats not it. literally no attempt was made. if you're losing weight though fair enough buying clothes is a waste until you hit your goal. i wouldn't either. you need to develop a personal style, learn to have an eye for silhouettes that emphasize your good traits and hide your flaws. as you get thinner in the midsection from working out start tucking your shirts, wear jackets that emphasize your shoulders, etc. if you're losing weight rn it won't be long. start emphasizing your waist once you get a waistline.
really though its hard to give fashion advice with what you've posted.
mind posting like, examples of a style you like and could see yourself in?
skincare routine would go a long way and you'll age better onto the future with one. figure out your baumann skin type and come up with a routine according. skincare ingredients are always very "ymmv you might need to try a few products" and sunscreen is crucial for aging btw.
finally get your test levels checked i don't give a shit if you're young. normal doctors will do the blood work but they're insanely stingy with prescribing so if you're low t go to a mens health clinic. and start identifying environmental sources of endocrine disruption in your life and eliminating them.

>97 pounds heavier in December
goddamn keep it up i lost ~140 in my 20's, totally turned my shit around high self esteem now. my face isnt soft anymore either.

> learn to have an eye for silhouettes that emphasize your good traits and hide your flaws.
emphasize your shoulders. when you start strength training get big shoulders. focus on your body's vertical ratios, don't wear stuff untucked once you lose the midsection and start building your core. and you'll look good.
your head to shoulder ratio makes you look young/childlike but your shoulders aren't narrow you just have a big noggin. get big arms/shoulders when you start strength training and wear jackets that emphasize them (vintage/repro lee rider jackets would be a great example) and you'll look great.

in the meantime this is the best advice probably kek. but yeah if you're rapidly losing weight don't buy new clothes till you're done. just be subhuman until you get through the process, in the end its cathartic.

but you see how i analyze fashion choices right? when you hit a point of somewhat equilibrium with your physique where its time to buy new clothes, take some photos of yourself front on and from the side in your underwear or some tight clothes, then take an honest look and think "what about me is/isn't ideal" and start thinking about the shape, drape, color blocking etc of your clothes and how it can interact with your body to make it look better/worse. people online are way too fucking carebear to get serious advice from these days sadly.

>>18480264

>>18479871 (OP)
>>18479934
The hair is the only thing that's ok.
Don't think about clothes at all, fix your nose, the skin around your eyes (whatever happens there, go see a dermatologist), then you can think about clothes.
But the hair is great.

>>18479871 (OP)
Wear shorts that come to above the knee, or full length trousers. Those long pants do you no favours. You have very nice hair!

>>18479871 (OP)
Start by ditching graphic t-shirts and that stupid pair of shorts that makes you look like a midget. Wear button-up shirts and chinos. Get a side part haircut.

>>18480253
Very helpful post, yeah I haven't been buying clothes til now because I finally dropped to a medium from XL. My frame size won't change much anymore so time for a whole new wardrobe.

As for a style I could see myself in, I dunno. I'm just very lost and could use a little guidance to get me on track.

Lifting too, desperately need muscle.

I'll take all this advice to heart.

>>18480256
Yeah, Ive heard to focus on shoulders from someone else before, thanks for reaffirming that.

I was a punk kid, so I know a little about jackets at least haha.

>>18480264
I got 19 more pounds to lose, but it won't affect clothing size much. Mostly face/neck and make me a tad leaner.

I'm technically not overweight but a large meal could push me back into overweight status so more to lose still.

>>18480331
Yeah putting aside cash for that, should be fixed by September at the latest.

>>18480353
These were cheap shorts I bought before I fell back down to a medium from XL, I don't like em either haha.

I'll find some shorter shorts and get some trousers. I have 1 pair of jeans that fit, need more of those too.

Thanks for the hair compliment

>>18480368
You need to build muscle at this point. You look worse because you have absolutely none.

>>18480389
Yeah its definitely a desperate need.

Still happy I am not fat anymore, but there's a lot more to aesthetics and health than that.

>>18479871 (OP)
As for fashion advice don’t bother with casual wear. As other anons have suggested, try wearing button downs and chinos, it flatters most men. Once you have that, add leather shoes, tailored jackets, polo shirts and sweaters. Leave that hairstyle in 2005 where it belongs, go for a short back and sides and see how it looks.

>>18480426
Get up to benching 225 barbells/95lbs dumbells and ohping 65lbs dumbells and your vanity muscles will be giving you better proportions by that point.

>>18479871 (OP)
Just go to a doctor and have them remove the skin tags. I had a couple I didn't like and they removed them. It's quick and easy, though mine weren't under my eye

>>18481153
This, pic related is about how you should be casually when overweight. Nothing flashy, nothing slobby.
>>18481498
Get tested to see if you qualify for trt while you're at it.

>>18479871 (OP)
What's your diet like?

OP you will make it. google “redolessence“ (youtube perfume guy) and note his haircut/stubble. I think you could pull this look off as well once you get the baby fat off the face.

Why are white men so goofy

>>18481153
I appreciate the tips, I ordered some casual wear but it was very inexpensive stuff so I can still use it for just chilling around the house.

Are there any brands that wre a food balance of quality and price?

Here's my hairline if anyone wants to give advice on hair.

I am (barely) not overweight rn haha and I'll get my bloodwork looked at.

>>18481551
Mostly lean ground beef and chicken, carb balance tortillas, soups/stews, and some of the "healthier" low cal TV dinners.

Not amazing but ok.

>>18481555
I appreciate the support and advice, thanks friend. I'll do that.

>>18481654
You look much much younger here.

Your youthful face is fine. Your skin says much older. Get some skin resurfacing cream for like 30 bucks. You will peel like crazy for the first month but that’s actually good progress.

Get sleep and lift weights. Eat more antioxidant greens and bananas with potassium. Don’t stay up late. Quit smoking if you already haven’t.

You have potential to be young again for at least another five years.

>>18481664
Thanks anon

>>18481666
I have on and off insomnia, I just started getting 6+ hours again recently thankfully.

Spinach is my favorite vegetable, I should eat it more honestly. No smoking thankfully.

I'll look into that peel, thanks a ton for the tips.

>>18481669
Get Retin-A (tretinoin) from a CVS or Walgreen’s. I got it for like 35 bucks. It’s prescription but you can still just walk up to the pharmacist and say you want to put in one and pay directly. No need to get a doctor to fill one for you.

Spinach is good for you. I don’t recommend canned, even the salt free one. It’s just not much when it comes to vitamins and stuff. Green tea also helps but you want to make sure the leaves are raw. Green tea and lots of water will flush bad things out your kidneys and cleanse you.

Even if you get lots of sleep, make sure you sleep at night and get up in the morning. Sleeping hours all day will make you wake up feeling like shit. Sleeping plenty and getting up early will make your face feel tighter and healthy.

I also recommend eyedrops. This will wash out any buildup behind the eye and reduce swelling.

When it comes to clothing, look for something that properly fits your body shape. Fashion comes down to proper fit and color coordination. Everything else is subjective such as subculture.

>>18481153
self-improvement general ah post. do you guys do anything other than tell people to wear polos and chinos?

>>18481686
Hugely informative post, woah.

I'll do all that, thanks. Yeah I sleep from 11 to 6 in average right now.

What kind of eye drop? And will do on stuff that fits.

>>18481755
Regular eye drops like clear eyes work. The point is to basically wash out the sockets of mucus to reduce swelling. This is to prevent a tired look and eye bags.

Here’s an outfit I can recommend for you. It’s like a really neutral default. Casual and comfortable that fits like pajamas. It’s not exactly the most stylish, but it’s a good starting point to understand fit and color coordination.

Fitted cargo jogger pants. They’re like sweatpants only more modern and have more of a taper at the ankles and calves. Kinda like ninja pants. I recommend grey, black, or taupe. I recommend a brand called INC or International Concepts.

Get a fitted tee in a solid color. No pockets, no V-neck, no patterns. Just a regular cotton tee. Kohls has good regular fitted tees called Apt. 9. Get a grey tee and a blue tee. Make sure to buy your correct size where the shoulder seams sit exactly at your shoulders.

To start out with shoes, get solid white sneakers. No meme shoes yet. You’re just a beginner. Make sure they’re as minimalist in design with little to no logos.

The outfit suggestion isn’t flamboyant or expensive, but consider it training wheels to understand proper fit and color. You gotta start somewhere, right? The plus is that the outfit would fit properly and still feel comfortable, even if it seems like gym attire. The objective is to look clean and presentable.

In regards to your hair, you at least aren’t balding. You just need something that frames your face. Get something with tapered and close sides. Doesn’t matter how long the bangs are. The idea is to properly shape your face and not make it look round. Ask a barber, not a hairstylist, to give you a number one on the sides and to keep bangs. You will have to learn to part it yourself.

>>18479871 (OP)
Eyelid surgeon? Dude your whole face is recessed you need implants for your eye area

>>18479871 (OP)
I agree with the other anon that besides physique, your main problem areas are skin texture and under eye darkness. Get a real skin care routine ASAP. Cleanser + SPF in the morning, Cleanser + Moisturizer + Retinoid/Vitamin C in the evening.

Start supplementing Vitamin D, Magnesium Glycinate. Maybe get your bloodwork done so you can target your deficiencies but eating spinach is a good place to start because you look iron deficient.

I would style your hair back more. The bangs look too adolescent. The style does not match your skin’s age. Also it is not a bad thing that your face loses fat last. You have some upper eyelid exposure at this bodyweight already and losing fat there will significantly age you.

For style, I agree that you should aim to dress like a white man. Vintage brooks brothers, j crew, and Ralph Lauren. Not sure why the other guy described it as gorp. Im talking mostly just generic white guy: OCBDs, chinos, loafers, even boat shoes. But don’t buy cheap synthetic golf stuff like vineyard vines or start wearing Columbia vests. And don’t go full trad ivy prep either. We just want clean and normal, non-incel attire.

Your glasses might be a bit too large for your face. I would try contacts once you get your under eye sorted out and a bit leaner in the face.

Also uniqlo is walmart tier now. All synthetics. Ditch the graphic tees until you have a respectable wardrobe of adult basics and a confident physique.

You have the potential to look good. You are not ugly. Right now you just look like a guy who hasn’t taken care of himself.

>>18481863
>Boat shoes
This is as bad as suggesting Clark’s. Making him look like he works in a tech startup office in Seattle would just make him look like a cuck. He shouldn’t dress like a kid but he shouldn’t look like 2012 /fa/ either.

>>18481864
That’s why I said “even boat shoes.” We’re just trying to get him to blend in anon. Straight white men are still wearing them. I’m not about to recommend him Paraboot michaels

>>18479934
>Any tips for a haircut?
You have the hair of a middle school boy.
Shockingly you actually pull it off pretty well lmao.
But anyway. Start pulling it back. I hate hair gel but it's useful in the beginning stages to train your hair.

>>18481658
>and some of the "healthier" low cal TV dinners.
Avoid anything with PUFAs, polyunsaturated fatty acids. Don't eat anything with vegetable oils basically. basedbean oil, canola, rapeseed, etc.
It does bad stuff to the fat in the body and especially your skin.
>still trying to lose weight
Fast 3-4 days every couple of weeks. Good for the immune system and obviously does the weight loss.
Everything else I would say is already said in the thread. Except for this:
You will age and look worse and some people won't like you no matter what you do, or think you're attractive no matter what.
Winning approval and staying young is fine for a while but it's an unwinnable battle. Accept that in the end both favor and youth and looks and eventually your life will all leave you, and don't worry too much about any of it.

>>18479871 (OP)
Gym, diet, contacts, and a haircut.

>>18481863
I was explained that the dark circles are busted blood vessels from when I had an eating disorder as a child.

I was on ADHD meds and I developed severe paranoia on them, I choked once and became afraid of eating and got dangerously thin. Took months of the drugs being out of my system for the paranoia to go away.

I think a doctor said they can be removed with a laser.

All in all a ton of helpful advice which I am grateful for, this has been a helpful thread for me and I appreciate the advice.

>>18481863
Yeah definitely need to work on my skincare, gotta find a hair style that'll suit me.

Was neglecting my appearance for awhile and feel glad to finally be making real strides in my health and appearance again.

Thanks

>>18482024
I've had this haircut most of my life so probably why haha.

I do 8:16 fasting rn, eat 1500 cals, and get 25k+ steps alongside lifting.

Might raise my calories for more gains, kinda wanna wait til I'm below 160 before lowering it.

>>18482025
All in progress, although I might experiment with both contacts and more mature frames.

>>18481654
bro weedwack that nose hair maybe grow some stubble and yeah a short haircut you'll be good

>>18482395
Can't believe I missed the nose hair.

Here's a picture of me with stubble from like 2 weeks ago, not sure if I can grow a decent beard or rock one.

>>18482471
definite improvement but shave your neck it will make your chin look stronger
i got kind of a double chin and shaving my neck really helps to hide it or at least not call attention to it

Honestly, being gay would make life easy mode. I have had moderate luck with women though because I've never been afraid/intimidated by them so I got that going at least.

>>18482471
You're too old for the clothes you wear, but you have a decent face and hair.
With the proper outfit and style, you could look like someone honorable, like a doctor, an university teacher or something.
But you have to accept your age and respect yourself, i'm not sure it fits your personality and lifestyle.

>>18479871 (OP)
why on earth do you want to get rid of the little brown/dark spots under your eye???? they actually look awesome and add to your unique look. its like the male equivalent of when women have a beauty mark that adds to their appearance.

Your hair is good but mixing it up a little/getting it cut by a stylist to have a more natural and textured "messy" look would do wonders.

I'm going to give some advice that sounds really gay and will get me bullied but its better than the DOGSHIT in this thread telling you to wear generic button ups and chino's? You will look disgusting and awkward. The real advice is if you want to look well put together for your age and fashionable, copy what Rhett and Link from Good Mythical Morning wear. Buy like 3 pairs of pants/jeans that are straight/relaxed fit in basic colours. Then other than that, mix in a couple of graphic tees, plain tees, shirts and outerwear. Don't be afraid to go for a shirt tuck once you lose weight but it really depends on your build.

>>18482517
I'm probably a bit stunted, I got some brain damage about 7 years ago and it wasn't until last year I really recovered enough to be a part of society again.

I've been focusing on health, gained a bunch of weight and lost it all and then some recently. Also been eating less processed food.

>>18482527
Well I ak skinny fat rn, I look thin in clothes.

Yeah, definitely loleaning towards a messier hairstyle.

I am buying more jeans now that at most I might most another inch or two on my waist.

Well I could always mix up the professional mature look with the casual nerd look on different days.

You don't look thin, retard, you look just fat (not even close to "skinny fat") Maybe "thin" by American standards? LMAO

>>18482530
>I got some brain damage about 7 years ago
We already knew, you didn't have to clarify that part KEK

>>18479871 (OP)
You don't look that bad at all, if I were you I'd swap out the glasses for a pair similar to picrel. Get a decent haircut, and ditch that Adidas tee, those shorts and those ugly ass sneakers. Buy yourself some decent clothing, and with a little confidence you can get some pussy for sure!

>>18482589
Those glasses look like, I'll look for a frame like them.

Yeah, thats me dressed for cardio, the shoes are Brooks Ghost 16 running shoes.

I've had decent luck with women in the past, I'm a fairly social competent guy but definitely need to work on myself.

Thanks for the tips.

>>18482603
Look nice*

>>18482603
>thats me dressed for cardio
Oh, okay! Then don't mind my comment. A (polo) shirt would look nice on you! (I mean, you can't really go wrong with that.) Don't bother with chinos if you don't feel comfortable in them, I'm more a fan of denim, but to each their own.
>I'm a fairly social competent guy
I mean, you don't really need much more than that (besides looking fairly decent). I'd say being confident in yourself is even more important than having some fancy clothes.
>I have skin tags under my eyes, my derma is gonna rec me an eyelid surgeon soon and getting them all removed.
You mentioned getting surgery to get those skin tags removed in the OP, is this something you really want to get removed or something you're dermatologist proposed to you? I don't think you should remove those, like >>18482527 said they make you stand out/look more unique!

Other than that, I wish you the best of luck with working out etc. etc. You'll look even better in no time! (And please keep us updated, if you can.)

>>18479871 (OP)
haircut: get a mohawk and dye your hair platinum blonde
Clothes: Wear suits everywhere. Everywhere. But use a thin wifebeater as the undershirt
Boots: Get those dior motorcycle boots or something that looks like them. Black.

>>18482620
Yeah, my cardio fit isn't my usual fit.

I'll think about it a bit more, but just worried they could harm me in the dating scene. They don't bother me too much personally, theyre a result of me being much bigger and briefly pre diabetic.

If my progress interests you, here's a picture of me when I started dieting and exercising in December vs me as of the other day. I'll post more as I get more clothes and more in shape.

>>18482624
This is actually not terrible advice, I was a punk kid but never really secure enough to rock a 'hawk haha.

>>18482626
Also I've lost 98 pounds with ZERO lose skin. I dunno if these last 18 pounds will give me any but considering I'm gaining muscle I'm optimistic.

Have been using retinol cream(neck and body), taking collagen peptides, and getting Vitamin C but this thread shows me I need to up my skincare game.

You’re actually not ugly. You just desperately need a good haircut and a better fashion sense. You’re probably going to also want to try contacts and I would highly recommend you do a strength program like Greyskull for half a year to year to permanently escape skinny fat forever. Do these things and the improvement will be massive.

>>18482638
Is that better than my current regiment?

I've decided to rotate contacts and a more mature frame for now.

>>18482626

Autophagy starts at like 24 hours in, and neurogenesis starts at roughly 48 hours in and peaks at 72 hours in. The intermittent fasting is fine for daily life but you don't get the benefits I'm talking about until you do a proper extended fast. You don't need to worry about salts until past day 4, so I usually just do 4 days myself.

Also your facial hair shadow is more offputting right now given your appearance so either let it grow out or stay more on top of it.

Also also, after reading some more posts in the thread telling you not to do X because it makes you "unique", you don't want to be unique.

youve already got a bunch of people saying get in shape, that doesnt happen overnight
for more immediate changes, go for like kpop boybandy style and stay clean shaven
it might not be great straight away but its something

Get tanned, wear slimmer glasses and just Kazuki Otake max.

Get an undercut and keep the bangs. The cool thing about that haircut is you can style it back for class and style it forward for rizz.

>>18479871 (OP)
so besides the outfit needing an obvious upgrade, you have a very 'adult' looking face (5 o'clock shadow, wrinkles/bags under your eyes, etc.) and a little boys haircut

Cut your hair shorter and wear straight fitting jeans (avoid really skinny/baggy), a slightly shorter t-shirt without (cheap) branding on it

Shoes are fine but you could go for something leather or generally 'cleaner\ looking

I would also switch the glasses to something with a more 'premium' look, just go to an optician and have a look at designer brands, it's worth investing in since you probably wear them everyday, especially with a shorter haircut it'll be more important to wear a good pair of glasses

and you need to do more cardio, you'll get slimmer and your face will be less puffy too

you're welcome

The bags I explained earlier are busted blood vessels from me not eating a single meal for months.

ADHD meds fucked me up as a kid and have me severe paranoia, I choked ajd developed a phobia of swallowing and almost starved to death.

I believe they can be layered away.

My Gillette razors aren't getting s close shave anymore, maybe I should try a safety razor?

Yeah shorter and messy seems to he the consensus for my hair, I ordered new straight jeans.

The shoes are Brooks Ghost 16 running shoes, that's my cardio fit

I also have Stan Smiths.

Posted 8 pics of me with other glasses if you wanna give an opinion.

Thanks for the help yo

Lasered away*

>>18483330
Sorry, I didn't check the whole thread, just replied to your post. Good job on recovering after all the shit you went through!! You also don't look bad at all, you just need a few minor improvements : )

As for glasses, I'd say the Simon or Wilford fit your face best, but shorter hair usually looks better with thicker/darker frames imo

Stan Smiths are good : ) and there's no need for a total clean shave, a bit of facial hair might actually look really good.

>>18479871 (OP)
OP all this advice is shit. Listen to me. Your hair is fine, skin is fine, your facial structure is good. The fit you posted has really bad proportions that make you look short. Find a boxier thick white tshirt, vintage blue levis, a thick belt, some boots you like. Make it look good. Try to even out your leg to torso ratio. Once you figure that out everything will start to make sense. And remember that fashion is mental, insecurity ruins your appearance.

>>18483332
Yeah, I've had some challenges.

Yeah the Simon are nice, Stan Smiths have always been my favorite casual shoe. Do need a higher end shoe too though.

Yeah, just gotta figure out how to style my facial hair.

Thanks for all the input.

>>18483334
I am just barely not short(5'10).

I have a long torso and shirt legs, I wear 34x29 jeans for example. I like Uniqlo cause they'll hem to 29in but Lev8 does have x29s too.

>>18482649
Imo Greyskull LP is GOATed for beginners and intermediates making aesthetic and strength gains. It’s basically Starting Strength modified to make you less T Rex mode and more broad shouldered and thick necked. By the book and do the program with all the exercises outlined, even the neck ones and the burpees.

>>18483343
>thick necked
Please no, I struggle to lose fat in my neck and turkey neck runs in my family. Thats why I am aiming to be quite lean.

Please do not follow any of the rapidly ageing millenial "lifting" advice you are getting in this thread. They want you double cheeked up and unable to buy jeans, just like coach rip made them. Its a sick grooming pattern that's endemic on this board.

>>18483919
I do need to lift though, like for bith aesthetics and function.

I lost a lot of muscle losing 100 pounds, feel pretty weak.

>>18483911
Just trust me bro. There’s a world of difference between a fat neck and muscular, vascular neck. 6-12 months won’t make your neck huge and if after that, you think it’s too big or you’re getting sleep apnea or whatever you just stop training it.

The neck training is to take skinnyfat never-athletes and give them the neck of a lifelong athlete or farm boy. You don’t want a fat neck but you don’t want a skinny neck either.

>>18483941
To a point, but absolutely do not do anything that has you squatting more than once a week. Entirely useless unless you hope to submit yourself to the NFL combine/Mens ass monthly magazine.

>>18483947
Guys I got too buff on accident again

>>18483956
He’s right. This is why I recommended Greyskull. Unless you’re looking to become a strength athlete you don’t need to squat heavy more than once or twice per week for gains. Twice is pushing it honesty. Legs grow quickly.

>>18483919
>>18483947
Oh ok. Nevermind. You’re a dumbass zoomer and don’t know shit. You can’t even read. The program recommended was specifically contrary to Coach Rip’s. Stay skinny fat and retarded forever I guess loser.

>>18484008
I have such large legs and ass from doing gomad and SS that it's almost a medical problem. Don't talk to me about being skinny fat, if you walked a mile with my BIG BAD PRODIGIOUS MILLENIAL ASS it would fucking humble you kid, you'd kill yourself if your legs and rump were this big. I'm just trying to warn this guy to avoid my dummy thick fate.

>>18484019
Literally just do high volume and low weight and wasting exercises like distance cardio

You don't think I've tried? These gams are cast iron. I'm on so much semiglutide and glp-1 I deserve a Norwegian knighthood.

get new glasses which look like something a professional person would wear. not some faux-Heston-zany-product designer glasses.
don't wear shorts outside your house.
don't wear t-shirts outside your house.
>aiming to go down to 150 pounds
are you 5'6?

wear chinos and a button down shirt.

>>18479871 (OP)
if you want a person to emulate i would say James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem but you get a neater haircut and better glasses and tuck your shirt in to look less like a slob. even if you get contacts you still need glasses so you should get a good looking pair of glasses and contacts. i'd suggest going to a shop where they sell glasses and asking for help choosing a frame which suits you. the people in the shop generally know what they are doing.

>>18482510
>Honestly, being gay would make life easy mode
kek, it wouldn't for you. don't kid yourself.

>>18479871 (OP)
with short legs like yours, never wear t shirts like in the pic you posted. Try to find some that stop like 15cm earlier

>>18479871 (OP)
you need to start taking a multivitamin that isn't garbage. You look sick, probably due to a poor diet. Your skin looks rough.
Drink more water, magnesium (use google, this will also get rid of those bags under your eyes), wash and moisturize your face, get a good sunblock for your face because you have moles and those get worse with sun exposure and age.
Stop wearing those pants anywhere but around the house. Wash your shoes to make them look more new if you don't have another pair. (spot clean if you can't wash them in the washer, if they are leather)
Go to any optometrist or any glasses store and get your glasses straightened out. The crooked glasses make it look like you don't care. They will adjust them for free at 95% of places, like Walmart.

I am 5'10 but struggle to lose face/neck fat, have to be VERY lean to lose those.

I have been lookong at new glasses, I like these?

I also ordered some Chinos.

What about shorts and t shirts outside when I am jogging? Thats my cardio fit in OP.

>>18484545


Noted, and yeah I am gonna do both contacts and glassss, rotating em sounds good.

Posted some glasses I was into earlier.

>>18484554
Good idea, I got a weird build desu. I got the kegs of someone 5'5 despite being 5'10

>>18484567
Pain.

>>18484561
I should, I also been doing 30k steps a day on 1500 calories so big deficit made me lose a lot of muscle too.

Bags under my eyes were explained earlier, they gotta be removed via laser otherwise theyre permanent. (Tldr childhood adhd meds drove me crazy, became afraid to swallow, almost starved to death, this caused them)

I am seeing a derma and working on my skin now, those are shorts I use for my cardio. The shoes are Brooks Ghost 16s for jogging, I should wipe em down though. They got 300-400 miles on em so need a new pair soon.

I have an eye exam today will be getting new frames.

>>18484542
Whoops forgot pic

I like these.

Also I just measured my inseam, 27.5

My i have the legs of someone 3 inches shorter than me.

>>18484019
Your fault for doing SS and GOMAD dumbass. You did a strength athlete program and got upset when you came out looking like a strength athlete. But I didn’t recommend it to OP for a reason.

Greyskull LP is Starting Strength - Legs + Shoulders + Neck

>>18484629
>>18484652
Okay Harry Potter. Just try some damn contacts.

style your hair to make it more voluminous, you're blessed with straight hair so it shouldn't be hard.

>>18484627
alright I am serious: if you haven't tried magnesium for the bags under your eyes you should. Magnesium supplements and spray, under the eyes, 3 months. Potentially might save you surgery. Don't just believe any doctor. They want chop chop fees.

Well it sounds like you are motivated. Don't burn yourself out though. Some of this stuff is a $5 fix, its just a change in daily routine, and I believe your skin falls under that. You don't have extreme acne.

>>18484894
How do I do that? Sorry, I am wildly inept.

>>18484899
I'll look into that, if that works that would be awesome.

I did have severe cystic acne until a few years ago, but the damage is relatively minor for just how bad it was. I was a real pizza face at one point.

Yeah very motivated, progress has been great but still much to do. I appreciate all your advice.

>>18484916
Do some research on Mg, most people are deficient in it because its used up by the liver to process caffine. If you drink coffee or soda, you probably need to supplement it. Most people do best with glycinate but again, spend some time on google. Do that first for several months before even considering surgery or something invasive. Docs will do whatever you want, because it makes them the big bucks.

Your skin I hate to say it but the threads about skincare here and on a certain forum site which is r/skincare I believe gives some very good advice. You can request brands. Just a cleanser, moisturizer and sunblock and you will see huge improvements. If you are conscious about scarring look into microneedling. There are good videos on youtube about how to do this yourself. Save the $ bro.

Also, I wear glasses and I am also saying no on the black rims, if that was you. I am of the opinion that styles like "wilford" the acetate glasses look bad on most people and are a fad

>>18484970

I personally like the 'murrow' style and I will explain why
>metal accents look good
>tortoiseshell adds texture to your natural brown hair and eye features
>your face is a little round, gets both best of angles and round glasses

but glasses are very personal so I think it also depends on 'what sort of look are you looking for'

>>18484970
I'll look into microneedling, nit insecure about it but can't hurt to take care of my skin the best I can.

Thanks for all the tips, Ill grab a mag supplement and try and eat more Spinach as its a good source and my fav green anyway.

I didnt drink caffeine for years but have gradually added it back in simpy because zero sugar baja blast is the best 0 cal soda by far.

I might lick to the murrow as well then, I wanna have multiple pairs and contacts to rotate I think.

Where were you in 2013? You could have saved me. Now I'm cursed to jiggle and clap across this doomed earth.

>>18479914
Contacts are easy to use and you get used to touching your eyes. I used them from about 16-23. As soon as my prescription stabilized I got laser eye surgery at about 24. It's not as expensive if you get it young, better than buying glasses every year or so.
Don't be so hard on yourself you have a really good Chad jawline+chin. A few years of lifting and you are going to look like the Gigachad meme.

Ok, so if I get rid of my bangs would any of these styles work for me?

Keep the bangs, shave the sides and back to a number one. Basically, get an undercut yet keep it loose. Trust me on this one. You can even get a 90s haircut that became hip again.

>>18487119
A number one?

>>18479871 (OP)
If you're a manlet, the last thing you want to wear is oversized basketball shorts and look like a toddler.

>>18487283
I'm 5'10 but unfortunately have a 28 inch inseam.

Dressed for cardio here.

Got some new shit.

New shit

>>18487594
Get rid of the bangs

>>18487641
If I do, what do you recommend?

I posted some interesting bangles haircuts a few posts back.

>>18487281
A number one is a type of razor setting at a barber. It means it’s really close. Essentially I’m suggesting a fade of sorts or an undercut. You can keep the bangs. Meaning you can wear them down or have something to comb.

>>18487646
Thanks, definitely interesting advice.

Have any pics similar to what you're suggesting? Appreciate all the advice.

>>18487656
Just google undercut images. Look at the ones with straight hair. By happy you even have bangs because half this board is balding. With this haircut you can comb it back for work and proper events. On the weekends you can wear it loose and it turns into a punky bowl cut or a K-pop haircut.

Let me tell you a funny story.
>Go to barber
>get an undercut with a parting (one side is shorter. Both sides have a close fade)
>Looks good. Appropriate for work.
>Sides start to grow back a couple weeks later.
>No time for a haircut at 7pm before an event
>Surround myself with mirrors and do it myself with sideburn trimmers
>Cut way too close. Basically shaved off the underside.
>Oh shit! I look like Hitler! Day ruined!
>Get upset and just make my hair messy with my hands
>Suddenly it looks like a cool punky haircut resembling Cole Mohr’s undercut.
>Get compliments.

It’s a hairstyle you can wear two ways.

>>18482510
>>discord
>I have a few friends, on it. Don't use any groups though.

>Don't use at all
Both of these statements are false.

>>18479871 (OP)
unfortunately, you are beyond help.

>>18479871 (OP)
I don't know that you need contacts, but your glasses are too big for your face. If you were a lot heavier a few years ago, you probably picked frames for your face at that size.

The big glasses/long shorts/long shirt in the pic is making you look WAY smaller than you really are. In general you may still be in the fat person mindset that bigger and baggier clothes will be more flattering. If you're 5'10" and 169 pounds a 34 waist seems big to me, but I could be wrong.

the general advice is to try to dress a little older. You're dressing really young right now, which is clashing with how old you actually are.

>>18488224
>If you were a lot heavier a few years ago, you probably picked frames for your face at that size.
100 pounds heavier, yes.

This is my cardio fit, I'm still losing weight, another 17 pounds til my goal of 150 pounds.

34 is getting a little loose, I might be a 32 next month and I imagine that'll be my final waist size.

I dressed a but more mature here, better?
>>18487594

>>18488227
that's definitely helping. getting some new glasses or contacts and some product in your hair will go a long way.

congrats on 100 pounds down. that's huge progress.

>>18488231

I got glasses like I tried on here.
>>18484652

They'll be here tomorrow, will post pics.

The main struggle is what to do with my hair.

Seems to be 2 main opinions, messy+bangs with undercut or no bangs(no idea what to do here besides no bangs)

>>18488231
Also thanks for the congrats, I went nuclear and am still making good progress.

>>18479871 (OP)
Take a shower, hit the weights, get a clue

>>18487594
much better

try sideswiping the bangs before getting rid of them completely, although I think I agree with others you would look better with a shorter cut maybe further back, someone else can maybe post ideas

>>18479871 (OP)
you literally put absolutely zero effort into your appearance. and everyone knows it
do anything with your hair. slick it back, up, to the side, anything. just style it at all
those glasses looks awful, they're too big for your face and the shape doesn't flatter you. get contact lenses preferably
you gotta get some nicer clothes. why are you wearing fucking basketball shorts with those socks and shoes? those socks look ridiculous. wear black crew socks, they go with anything. get some actual shoes, not whatever those things are. and don't wear those fucking shorts outside your home ever again. wear some nice jeans

>>18479934
>this guy had 2 girlfriends while he looked EVEN WORSE than this

I'll try that, hair is the final frontier rn.

Already losing fat/gaining muscle, slowly upgrading wardrobe.

>>18488497
Yeah, I was fat and in a bad mental place.

I ordered glasses similar to these ones, they come today. Gonna get another pair soon and contacts as well.

This is just clothes I wear for cardio. The shoes are Brooks Ghost 16s running shoes, they're functional and one of the least ugly running shoes. Running shoes are all ugly though.

Appreciate all the advice.

>>18488501
I've had more than 2, but of those 2 one was chubby and one was petite.

Hey man, wanted to compliment you for actually implementing the advice you've received. You look way better already.

>>18488648
Thank you, friend.

>>18488659
Appreciate it.

Yeah, I'm taking all advice here very seriously.

If anyone wants to recommend haircuts or things to add to wardrobe please know your advice will not fall on deaf ears.

The consensus seems to be messy undercut with bangs or just "no bangs" with no other details.

I think if I want no bangs I probably want medium/long hair, although I still have fat to lose in my face so what haircuts suit me are gonna change in time.

New glasses later, will post pics.

In terms of clothes do you have any celebrities, styles or items you particularly like? What do you feel drawn to?

Go with smaller rectangular ones. I honestly don't like any of those that much.

>>18490057
Have to agree with this guy. Go for small frames like spectacles.

>>18479871 (OP)
Cut your hair short, but keep the front/top long enough to comb up and to the side. Replace your homeschooler-ass shoes with literally anything else and you'll be on the right track as long as you keep the lifts up.

Is this thread a troll? Man you dress like if you were 10 year old, just replace all your adidas t-shirt with unbranded polos and your shorts with chinos

>>18482626
Well done mate, very impressive

>>18479871 (OP)
See a local hairstylist and get a consult. Decide ahead of time if you want short or long, high or low maintenance, product or no product. They'll give you some ideas.
As for clothing, I think it's clear you don't really know what you're doing. I'd start browsing here and just collecting pictures that you like, and develop your own sense of fashion. That way, when you buy new clothes, you can compare them to some kind of ideal and judge them.

>>18479871 (OP)
lose fat
build muscle
fix hair
get glasses that suit your then lean face
dress like an adult not a 5 year old

after seeing this dude try on all these different glasses frames, i'm convinced none will look good on him. he needs contact lenses

good choice on the glasses, maybe fit the nose piece to sit a little lower if possible. for the hair keep a little length on top but bring it above your eyebrows, get the rest brought in close but not skin fade. sharp soccer hair isn't for everyone. also while you're getting fit work on posture, coming from fat slob to fit usually means you have to fix that too. good luck bro

>>18490061
>>18490057
I plan on getting other frames as well, so I'll keep this in mind.

>>18490104
Any example pics?

The shoes are function over form, theyre running shoes for cardio. Brooks Ghost 16s and unfortunately are probably thr least obnoxious looking running shoes I've found that are comfy.

I definitely plan to keep lifting, thanks.

>>18490113
I explained that was my cardio fit, although my casual clothes weren't much better.

Thanks, I'm around 24%bf right now. Looking to go below 20% within a month.

Should I look for a fancy place or something? I'm in the DMV area if anyone has recs? Hair is definitely my biggest challenge right now.

Right now I'm just grabbing some polos, Chinos, and button ups. I got a nice flannel too. But yeah, wanna expand past that too.

Use this board more frequently.

Thanks for the tips.

>>18490130
Am doing all that, thanks.

>>18490146
Have a recent no glasses pic if you wanna see

>>18490320
I've heard someone else say that, will do thanks. Yeah posture is important, Inhad a friend take classes for it. Maybe I will too.

Good hair advice as well, I appreciate it.

Like others have said, start wearing more appropriate clothes for your age. An easy start is to not wear graphic tees except for lounging at home. Buy button up shirts (can be long sleeve or short sleeve; I'd recommend rolling your sleeves if you get long sleeves) and actual pants/trousers instead of shorts.
Keep the colors of your outfits generally in the earth tones or neutral tones and you should be ok for a fashion start.

>>18487062
I think any of these honestly would work. You have a good hairline. Just keep in mind that to do these hairstyles you're gonna need to start using hair product. It won't just look like that by brushing it back.

>>18484652
These look decent, but the roundedness isn't complimenting your face. I would suggest something more square; a more square frame will compliment your roundish features. Stay on that thin frame look though.

>>18490355
>Should I look for a fancy place or something?
Do whatever is in your budget, but make sure it's a place with actual stylists. You don't want a barbershop. Look for female or homosexual male haircutters.

>>18490355
get some mousse or when your hair is drying keep your hair swept more to the side
dont be afraid to show parts of your forehead, it is part of your face

>>18479871 (OP)
Unironically shave head, go to gym for 2 years, drop a couple thousand on tattoos and drop a few more thousand on Rick and Balenci pants/boots/tops.

You’re not conventionally attractive, and that’s okay. Your current “style” reeks on insecurity because it’s you trying to cover your flaws. Embrace them. Show your unique features, letting people know you don’t give a fuck with a look is 85% of being fashionable.

Also start doing psychedelics, reading books and going to concerts on a regular basis. It will just make you a more interesting person in general.

Go with Murrow bro. I suggest wearing nothing with a branding on it shirt wise, like go to Uniqlo at least and wear a shirt from there (that isnt autistic anime stuff), also wear some light blue jeans or jeans, not shorts. Your hair is good in these pics too. Stuble works for you, if you can grow a mustache.

Sorry to hear about your unfortunate past, you couldve let all these terrible things destroy you but instead you have decided to better yourself, congrats anon!

Okay so first of all, go to the gym 3days a week and focus on weight lifting. Lift Heavy, Lift to Failure. Take a day rest between working out so you can really recover, even just a Push Pull Legs will be okay (although not optimal) to start with. Monday, Rest, Wednesday, Rest, Friday, Rest, Rest. Make sure you are coming close to failing on the last rep of your last set. That made all the difference to me, use the pain you have.
Low reps heavy weight on your compound movements such as your Deadlifts, Bench Press, Overhead Press and Dips. Then round out your smaller muscles with Isolation, women LOVE big arms. Be sure to do pullups too, just go watch as much Jeff Nippard videos as you can. He has a great 3x a week Full Body Routine you can find for free by searching google docs.

Youtube a good skincare routine, I tried for the past 30mins to find the right video but I couldnt, sorry.

Find a good barber around you and see what they can do for you, do your research and see who is good, has some decent numbers of followers on instagram etc. Talk to him.

Layer Basics from uniqlo. Try their smart ankle pants or whatever theyre called are OP. Use simple colour pallets like Blacks, Beige, Greys, Navy and Browns. Wear linen in Summer. Maybe watch some Brandon Balfour and see what he does.

As soon as i changed my glasses to those circle style ones, Holy Shit women just started talking to ME first.

Also go buy some good colonge, for winter and date night start with Armani Stronger With You Intensley and for summer just buy a cheap freshie, youtube that too. Use Roll On Deoderants btw.

What youre poor? Go work, yes I know youre sad, you need to go see a therapist too (Seriously) and I know theyre expensive. So go work, For real im not joking this all helps.

Goodluck mate, honestly wishing you the best.

>>18491237
Yeah, I got a lot of Uniqlo stuff for that reason.

Chinos, a polo, t shirts, jeans, a flannel.

Gonna get more soon, might hike out to the retail location in my state. Its a bit far but doable.

Yeah, I've been dealt a hand and I am just wanting to make the best of my life now that I am a functional person again.

Am lifting now, cutting but gonna recomp when I am below 20%bf next month

I cannot do a pull up yet, but thats a major goal for me. I lost so much weight so fast I lost a lot of muscle. It's a miracle I don't have loose skin.


Gonna try the skincare reddit like another anon said. I love Uniqlo shit so thanks for adding to my shopping list for next month.

And can do on the cologne. I'm probably gonna go back for an associates to be aj x ray tech I think.

Appreciate the help.

your only hope is a long carb high meat paleo diwt, 75% meat 15% leafy greens 5% root vegetables 5% berries no dairy no wheat no carbs no sugar no processed food no seed oils you need to be seriously disciplined and consistent with it

Memes aside, I eat fairly well now.

Lots of lean meats, fish, vegetables, no drinkable calories, and when I eat sugar its nothing processed. Usually a canoli or something from a local place.

Post gym pic, looking a lil rough but I am starting to lose face fat.

On track to drop below 20% bf within 4 weeks, maybe less.

I think it's noticeable compared to my OP pics?

I am broke currently, but I won't be soon.

I'll grab one of those alongside a oneblade to manage my stubble. Right now I just shave when it gets too low and regrow it cause bulk blades from Costco.

And a new haircut too probably, feeling shit out still. Don't wanna fuck that up.

The hair's ok, it just needs styling. Use sea salt spray to give it texture to make it less straight. You have very straight hair like I do and that works well for me.

I think you should do stuff to boost your test levels too, like get more direct sunlight and increase muscle mass, avoid plastics (kitchenware, clothing, shopping receipts are the main ones people aren't aware of) etc

Learn to smile with your eyes for photos. That makes a big difference and looks better than smiling with a wide-open mouth

I get 2+ hours of sun walkong outside everyday and started lifting this month.

The smile part is hard, because I did not grow up in a healthy home and am fairly traumatized. I have been working hard on it, trust me.

>>18493525
just pull it out with tweezers, or even your fingers

the first is right anon, you look weak, you look skinny fat. Lift some weight, take some testosterone. Better fashion wont magically make you more attractive, chad looks good nomatter what he is wearing

Heard that can lead to infections which can spread to the brain?

>>18494060
I guess I'll ask my primary to test for my test levels, I'm overdue for a check up anyway.

LOSE WEIGHT FATTY
GROW YOUR HAIR LONGER TOO
GO TO THE GYM AND GET MUSCLES
AND GROW A MOUSTACHE OR LASER IT OFF, The shadow looks horrendous

>>18494659
I am down from 266.4 on December 5th to 163.8 right now. I'll be 150 by September 1st with my current cut. Am 5'10

I am listing but no doubt my aggressive cut is fucking that up.

Dunno if a mustache would work for me.

>>18494698
Oh damn congrats on the weight loss bro keep going
Desu looking hot is more about aura than a haircut or outfit, go to the gym and gain some confidence :x

>>18494708
Thanks, Ive been going nuclear and am shifted into cardio overdrive right now. 35k steps a day EVERYDAY until September 1st on 1500 calories.

It's probably interfering with my lifting like I said, but lean is law.

Left is me from December if you missed it earlier in the thread, I was bad. Right is a post gym selfie from 2 days ago.

Battling bad DOMS, but powering through it.

>>18494726
Woah nice job it makes a crazy difference imo

>>18494750
Yeah, I can see all the muscles in my neck again it's been a long time.

Still not lean enough, but very close. And I know the DOMS will pass.

Before the end of the year, I'll look downright decent I think.
