I see many guys walking around with what I call “crisis face.” They look worried, stressed out, almost on the verge of tears. Record your next few on-camera Zoom meetings. Look closely, and be honest with yourself. Do you have “crisis face?” Studies have shown that impoverished or low-status people actually develop higher cortisol thresholds and lower dopamine thresholds … meaning they get MORE STRESSED when they’re under pressure and LESS HAPPY when they’re in a state of joy. In other words, your “crisis face” could be giving “broke.” People can READ your low status in that permanent grimace you wear. Don’t be alarmed. THIS IS FIXABLE. Challenge for the week … Can you catch yourself in moments where you’re not smiling and remind yourself to smile? Smiling – even a fake smile – changes your brain chemistry. It’s also proven to make people like you more. Do you think you can implement this in your life this week?

Guys, I’m going to start streaming on Twitch soon. I’m looking for people to play GTA, COD, Madden, Apex, Fortnite, Overwatch and several other games with. Send me a friend request. PSN: captlonghorn77

Hi everyone, I'm new here on the group. I'm trying to keep it short but I know this is going to be the wrong message to write, I can already hear Rian Stone bashing on my comment like the field reports that he like to hate so much. I enter this group to gather some information about how social circles are formed and why I'm always outside of them and the main reason that I've found is that I'm too old to be this poor and too far invested in my marriage without any positive outcome. I'm 38 and live in Italy, not flashy Milan or old Rome but Florence in the center of Italy, so there is already a lot of translations to make from the usa and the social environment that you can find around the world in opposite to the one there is here. People are different, situations are different and there is a lot less high value men going around. Than there is the translations to the steps like "fix your IG" or build a list, I'm not confortable with the way I look now and a close up photo is going to be negative overall, taking photos around the city with a camera and a tripod it looks so cringe, so pathetic and lame I really don't know how you do it, maybe you hire a professional photographer to do it and that takes money. Is not only the money that is missing also the ability to hold a conversation with anyone, especially other men, I'm invisible most of the time, I just add a +1 on the invitation and really struggle with being interrupted mid sentence and give space to other conversation that I just listen; is not easy at all being recognized for who you are, let alone being appreciated; in all this I'm married so everything looks like an insult to my wife because truth is she is the only one ever to be interested in me and my opinions, in contrast to the rest of the females, indicating that maybe there is something wrong in her and is sad. This and other problems keep me stuck in translation, in order to take actions I need to translate successfully from ideas to act on them, and that is why I'm stuck in translations without taking actions. I know that this message is totally wrong and I'm going to fail, or I'm in the process to fail more but to make some step forward I need feedback on my situation. Should I just give up?
