  • Go to open mic or karaoke nights. Hype everybody up. Talk to people after their performance.

    Start a hobby and find a local group to do your hobby with other people. Sometimes if you’re really into the hobby the group will find you. E.g. you’re at the park doing your hobby and see other people doing your hobby. You talk to them and they know a group of people doing it too.

    Assuming your job doesn’t involve much face to face interaction, volunteer somewhere in person and talk to the people you’re working with and the people you’re serving.

    Set up a booth at a high foot traffic area with a sign that says, “Free jokes.” Or “Free Magic.” Memorize some decent jokes or magic tricks and do them. Talk to people. Ask if they want you to perform at their house for their friends. Become the token magician friend.



  • Fluff a little, have your GF take another pic and have her orchestrate some situation in which she accidentally shows her friend that fluffed dick pic. It’s only fair.

    Honestly though, is the problem more because you’re embarrassed about penis size or that they saw a pic of your dick?

    We’re all animals. We have genitals. It’s not a big deal. Nudity is such a taboo in western societies and penis size is such a scam.

    I would address it with them so it’s not some constant elephant in the room. You can then gauge if they’re cool about it or not. If they make you feel uncomfortable then you need to be vocal about it and your gf should back you up. Imagine if it was the other way around. You’d be a complete asshole to joke about some girl’s nude pic that you accidentally saw.












  • Yup. It all starts with how we’re raising boys and what societal norms they’re expected to conform to. The main avenues that we give men to receive approval are limited to physical strength and violence, emotional toughness, sexual prowess/penis size, financial and social power and logical aptitude (which is waning as of late).

    If you don’t meet these standards then you have to work hard to internally accept yourself and two of the skills men aren’t taught to practice are emotional intelligence and community building, hence the lonely male epidemic and resulting fits of violence.

    We need to raise boys differently, and build a society where they have opportunities to build self-worth and have a community to lean on without feeling ashamed to need emotional support.

    All that to say that today we have an epidemic of violent, emotionally inept, unsuccessful men.
