    I literally track every calorie and workout every day to look remotely decent for women, yes. I have no hair, so that part is less relevant.

      That’s not expensive. And I do the same because it’s fun to workout. Tracking calories is like 10 minutes per day.

      It’s always the people doing the least who complain the most. You didn’t mention anything else, so I assume you don’t ask anyone for advice, don’t wear an expensive outfit, and don’t put on cologne. Hopefully you shower but you didn’t mention that either…

        I’m a different guy, just had my heart broken. I put an extraordinary amount of effort into relationships, to the point it is considered self-betrayal by professionals. Just saying it’s not always so one-sided.

        Don’t you dare let a man steal your queen energy! You’re a boss bitch! /s

        Sometimes when you put that much effort into something that doesn’t need that much effort, it can look like you’re trying too hard, which can be off putting.
