Need advice from manly dudes

    After the nth time being totally disgusted by what I saw I was able to completely overcome any desire to watch porn. Been around a month now, I don't really see anyway I'll go back my mind's programmed to view it as repulsive now.

    The issue is I'm a naturally very high testosterone person with even higher intensity. My normal gaze when I'm not fapping intimidates people, unfortunately.

    This creates a pretty big issue; many women find me way too intense and I don't know how to deal with it. My old way was watching porn and it would calm me down but now I feel revved up all the time. The problem is I scare women away with the intensity and don't know what to do, I can't help it. Any tips on how to deal with this? I've considered going back to martial arts to calm myself down, anything to lower the intensity level so I stop scaring people away. I feel like a freak sometimes when I'm around other men, they all sit around talking about Netflix and pop-culture and I feel like tackling a deer in the forest while barefoot. Seriously, please give me some advice so I can relate to other people more easily now that I've quit fapping.

    I've heard the notion that you'll get back to balance after a while but I doubt it, I've put on 5 pounds of muscle in a month and I'm in the best shape I've ever been in and it seems to be accelerating. You might think that's gloating or whatever but it's not, scaring people away because you look like a barbarian and having a 3 hour boner when you're trying to sleep is kind of terrible. Especially the scaring people away, I hate it.

    The last thing I want is to scare or intimidate people. My voice is so deep a lot of women just lock up when they hear me and can't even respond, it's like damnit, how the hell am I going to stop being alone if women think I'm dangerous at first? Because I'm not, at all. I've never actually physically harmed someone and I never would but people think I will just by first impressions. It's awful.

  2. A deep voice and large adams apple is an attraction not a hindrance. You'd probably make an excellent Announcer btw :)

    I can attract women at first glance with those features, but once I interact with them I scare them away. My body just naturally runs at a 98/100 intensity level as if I'm ready for battle all the time.

    Women don't like it, my guess is because other high testosterone males tend to be so overly aggressive and interested in sex they assume I will be too. It's demoralizing to be honest. I'm not even looking for sex early in a relationship but I get treated like it.
     
  4. Bro don't worry! That happened to me at some point in my journey as well. I think that your energy stack up somewhere because your body is not used to this at first due to excess pmoing. Keep going and you'll see what I'm talking about...

    Intense?

    I have the same problem man, the fact is you are not intense, you are probably creepy.

    5 pounds of muscle in 1 month?
    This forum is so funny :D

    P.s. by the way you describe yourself you don't look intense, or 98% intensity, you look fucking scared, anxious, and insecure.

    Start from here.

    Define creepy. I doubt I'm an actual creep.

    I've had dudes be afraid of me too, and not for being creepy, because they thought I was going to fight them even though that was the last thing on my mind. Probably once a month a dude will try to challenge me randomly, and that was when I was fapping. I always just let them be the tougher guy and back down because screw going to jail. Just saying I don't think it's a creepy thing.

    You are just trying to look manly and scaring, which is really kiddish an typical for unsecure man.
    The fact that you are always ready to fight says you are scared and anxious, and woman hate that, they think it's creepy, and it is.

    I mean, even if dudes would be afraid of you, who would give a fuck? Nobody, and surely not women.

    You are manly and strong in your mind, but by the way you describe yourself you look more like a kid with esteem issues.
    As i say, start from here.

    I appreciate your feedback but I think you misinterpreted.

    I'm not actually ready to fight, as I said. I will go out of my way to not fight. It's my genetics that do it, I go out of my way to not be intimidating and people think I am even when I'm not. I worked as a manager in a store a while back and customers would say don't steal or that security guard will kill you.

    Dudes are afraid of me, and I give a fuck. It's terrible. Imagine wherever you go people are afraid of you, it's the worst thing ever. I would say I do have self-esteem issues because of the way people misinterpret my natural intensity and physical presence. Like I stop to think about a problem at work and people back away because they think I'm about to smash something. It's honestly a nightmare. I can handle it in all aspects besides with woman, that's the real issue. It makes me crazy sometimes and it's why I fapped so much in the past, to calm the f down.

    Well, this is a bit unorthodox of an approach, but maybe it's not so much the energy that's the problem but your expression of it?

    Let's put it into this frame of mind: the energy you have is increasing even though you (clearly) are very active. This excess energy causes you to carry yourself in an intimidating way. Well, if you can't "exhaust" this energy supply through physical means, then it's time to look at the mind.

    Maybe seek out a counselor so that they can help you understand the social cues you're giving off and how people are interpreting them (and, of course, afterwards you can work on adjusting them)? Or maybe something that can help channel that energy mentally, like a challenging class or playing chess or hell, maybe even something spiritual like meditation would help.

    Because, again, the energy isn't really the *problem*, it's how that energy is expressed and picked up by other people. Lol, sorry if this seems a little esoteric, but you never know, I fresh approach can sometimes give fresh results!

    Good luck, regardless of what you end up trying!
     
  10. Deep voice myself... intimidating, not really only when im pissed at something. Basically i spend most of time with ladies. So i guess its natural. But what they find cool about me, is that i am myself.

    I am myself, and I only change to better myself...
     
  11. You may want to check out Eliott Hulse bioenergetics, grounding etc. The guy turned his life around. Just like you mentioned, he went from being a warrior 24/7 to the place where he is. Active meditation and a lot of stuff went in it. Better do some research.

    ^Elliott Hulse is awsome, I watch his videos a lot. He's actually been a pretty good inspiration for me, maybe I should watch more of his stuff. Good advice, he's got that natural intensity as well but manages to control it better than myself that's for sure.

    Best way I can describe it is to look up Jocko Willink, Krzysztof Soszynski or Keith Jardine. The way they look naturally their presence is just intimidating. Their resting face is the same as mine, that kind of intensity. The only difference is I have hair. Maybe seeking counseling isn't a bad idea, it's just a struggle you know.

    What often happens is people pick up on the cues when I'm not interacting with anyone or actively thinking about giving off signals/cues or anything like that. From a distance people will be scared when I'm just minding my own business not looking at anyone. But you're kind of right, there's definitely a lot of pent up energy. The only way I can get it out right now is by working out but it's not enough.

    Anwyays thanks for all the advice from everyone here. Much appreciated.

    So I looked up the guys you mentioned and I get what you mean now. Well, let's put it this way: I still advocate counseling because, hypothetically, let's say this something you CAN'T change. You're always just going to put off this vibe. What could you do?

    You can work on becoming comfortable with it, that's what! And trust me, I know that's NOT the option you're going for now, but it could be the option that ends up being more viable. A good counselor won't just help you "fix" things you find wrong with yourself, they'll also be able to help you accept things that aren't wrong at all but that you might be uncomfortable with.

    I've gone to counseling a bunch and, once you find a counselor you mesh with, they can really turn your life around. I've actually convinced a lot of my friends to seek professional help for those issues they just couldn't quite seem to get a handle on and they all say it was definitely a boon.

    Not that I don't understand, it's strange to go if you aren't used to opening up like that, but nothing to lose if you do give it a shot!

    Otherwise yeah, if that energy you have isn't being used up through exercise (no matter how hard you push) then I would be willing to bet it's energy stemming from a mental area. I'm no expert, mind you, but try changing it up, doing something that requires a lot of concentration, and see if that helps you feel more calm. Meditation, chess, wood working, taking a high-level class avout something... there are lots of options, just try them out and see which feels right!

    Well for what it's worth, I always have massive amounts if energy, even when I used to be MOing daily.

    So you can picture things now. :/ I'm quite literally bouncing off walls 24/7.

    But yeah. I'm not buff or anywhere near that bulky physique so (most) girls find that constant energy cute although it does bug people as well. Mostly guys, but yes- other girls too. And I don't even have that bulky body going for me!

    It's all a fucking stereotype man. Very little open-minded people whatsoever in the world. I genuinely feel sorry for you man. Can't help you, but I can be supportive.

    Because tbh, we're of the same spirit but in different physiques. One day, you'll meet a girl who can see past that.
    So really man- don't worry.

    At least you have that 6 pack I've been working on for ages :D my metabolism is really off the charts so although i can pull off things like waking 24 hours without much impedance and eating like a pig without gaining a pound, it hurts me at times like this.

    You'll meet that girl man. And tbh you'll meet her soon. Just keep venturing out there. :D

    Well you should read my post what NoFap actually does to you. I have years of experience but some people actually deny it and are against me lol. Basically NoFap turned me into a very serious and nervous person. Yes i became very confident, very alpha male among others. I had no fear, anxiety, nothing. Well of course people eventually started turning aggressive towards me. I lost friends. My parents saw me as very serious person and told me i have changed. Girls seemed to be more attracted towards me but i don't remember half of them actually enjoying my presence. Most guys would just give me rude looks and tried to act tough in front of my eyes or something because they felt threatened etc. Yeah i've actually been relapsing lately and even my parents say i am somewhat more relaxed and happier. Do you even know how much stress NoFap gives you? It's something you can't even handle with workouts or some stupid meditation. I'm not against NoFap but yeah busting a load once a week might be actually very beneficial to you. There are actually millions of posts like this where people even say they got bad luck because of NoFap. Do your research if you want but i already wrote a post how sex and fapping might actually be good for you.

    You should go deeper through this without escaping from it. Stay revved up all of the time, that's fine. Stop trying to dissipate your energy. Stop making a problem out of this.

    Stay away from PMO and be a normal virile man.
    Honestly, the anger aspect sounds like high-estrogen more than T.

    Eventually you will meet a traditional woman who likes a "manly dude". Don't change yourself for women.

    Who cares if you're scaring people? I think you're introspecting too much about this. Leverage whatever qualities you have to your advantage.

    Yoga and martial arts have traditionally been balanced with meditation and a spiritual approach. In the western world those finer elements were dropped. Many woman want more than just muscles and a macho "John Wayne" attitude.

    Are you the one telling him that he should look at porn so that he can be happier?
