So what? Let me tell you from personal experience that there are few sweeter experiences than running into some super popular dbag from high school who all but tells you that he wishes he was living your life. Living awesomely for 3/4 of your life and having a rough first quarter sure beats the other way around.
Who gives a fuck about some number on a page? I can’t grow fuck all for facial hair either and it hasn’t stopped me from doing anything other than being featured on a Movember calendar.
One of my best friends isn’t much bigger than you. He grows less facial hair than I do. But he is one of the coolest people I know (in addition to being a really great friend who has always had my back). Super easygoing guy who regularly throws killer parties for his many friends. And guess what? Before his girlfriend entered the picture, the guy was one of the most incredible players I’ve ever met and was universally liked by men and women. It wasn’t because of his ruggedly masculine physical appearance. I’ll give you a hint: ATTITUDE.
Thanks a lot for your encouraging thoughts. I also have the added benefit of the fact that I’m still developing, so my fully matured appearance has even yet to be seen. I sometimes feel like I’m merely filling a space in time between now and some point in the future, presumably when life will be a lot better and more fulfilling. But I’m trying to stay busy and actively work on things.
I don’t have a gym membership. However I am working constantly on my job doing construction and contracting, on my feet all day and constantly lifting, carrying and building. I run and ride my bike as cardio etc when I’m not working. I get made fun of a lot for being small, but to be honest I’m not even that weak, on some tasks I have held my own better while bigger guys were fatiguing.
I try to not overthink a lot of things at this period of my life. I really just make sure to eat enough (and not eat too much junk), get enough sleep, and stay active. I don’t follow a special diet or anything, I mean I avoid sugar because it obviously can be detrimental, but I take multivitamins.
The journey from here on out has to be internal I think, I have limited control over what’s on the outside, beyond being in shape, so I need to find my inner mojo now.
You’re right that the number means nothing, I think being a man or being alpha is attitude and mindset, not a literal testosterone number. There are guys who have high test who are probably total pussies.
