Wellness Wednesday for May 28, 2025

The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:

  • Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.

  • Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.

  • Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.

  • Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).

Naah dude, no reason to be demoralized. Women love glasses. I know women who've asked their partner to wear glasses in bed.

Women find Dark-Academia to be incredibly hot. If you're a tech guy, then definitely lean into it. Pick up on one of these herringbone coats to begin with. Can always complete the look if you'd like.

Glasses on men are like short hair on women - if they're hot, they make you hotter, if you're busted, they make you look worse. If you wear glasses that's a good reason to get your haircut and any beard grooming dialed in, and wear clothes that work with the glasses.

I gotta agree with this. I switched to contacts after 10 years of glasses (and not looking good enough for glasses). I had a doughy phase during covid, with the glasses and with less grooming, and the pictures from that time are embarrassing.

If you groom and dress like a Kingsman (glasses are part of their uniforms), it looks great.
