I mean like at a bar or a comedy show or something

shave your head, tidy your beard. Get more comfortable opening up quicker by going to therapy and dealing with those core beliefs

If not the apps, you might need to pay for a matchmaker honestly. To potential mates they'll be able to be most upfront about what you feel is holding you back most. Maybe you'll strike some luck that way.

Damn man come on

That’s a real thing?

To each his own OP but here are some facts (Its contextual so may or may not apply to all of us)

1- The more you fixate on this idea of "love life" and how things should be - the higher your chances of ending up disappointing yourself through high expectations. Keep it chill (Human beings need connection, and there be like a billion ppl in this world, every1 is different, love doesnt have to be s*** like they show on TV, so strip any pre-conceived ideas about how love life should be and you'll be good.)

Yeah, it happened at a bar

Brother, this was actually a good explanation, appreciate it

I would never shave my head, what's the benefit of that? Lol

you don't look good with what "hair" you do have on top of that humpty dumpty

look like you 50 and balding. Reclaim your youth
