I think you guys fail to forget that these influencers are humans too... There's always someone "better" than you, even if you're a rich influencer. The same guys are probably looking at other even richer and even more "alpha" men than themselves and getting the negative effects. Nobody wins in social media. Everyone just loses and feels jealous of one another.

You seel low in the hierarchy and subordinate • Losing • Social defeat • Being bullied

None of which that actually states the real reason why men are suffering from low T. 1. Tap water, shower and drinking water 2. Plastic containers 3. Polyester based clothing 4. See oils. 5. Lack of sun 6. Lack of exercise 7. Lack of proper sleep 8. Being around technology too much 9. Catering to woman's wants and desires 10. Alcohol 11. Junk food 12. Not eating our species specific diet (we are carnivores) 13. Living too comfortably 14. Not being stoic as in your lifestyle 15. Not facing your inner struggles and addressing them to reduce stress List goes on and on. There are 15 things you can work on right now to help your hormone levels.

@shannon dove that’s the thing, that’s WHY you can’t get a woman. Back in the day a man had to work hard to even see a naked woman (talking to a woman, taking her out on dates, proving yourself to be a man, showing the many products of your success, etc) where as these days men get it for free at the click of their fingers. See what I’m saying? If you’re fat you’d work out to attract women, if you’re broke you’d study and/or get a well paying job to attract a wife, etc. It’s way too easy nowadays since you don’t have to work on yourself to see a woman naked let alone a woman having sex (you still aren’t the one having sex so you lose every time). That’s one of the reasons why men have testosterone, it’s motivation to better yourself to attract a mate. Men are amazing as is but especially when they utilise their testosterone, it’s literally the backbone to every society and what has helped build the ancient and modern world

A lot of my low testosterone and anxiety comes from my middle school days where I was like the last person to hit puberty, automatically putting me at the bottom of the social hierarchy for years, at the time I just accepted I was a little kid and all the girls though I was “cute” and that has affected me ever since.

I was bullied because my eye sockets are slightly asymmetric, which makes it look as if my eyes were cross-eyed at times, despite it being tested not to be the case. Now whenever I get complimented, I can never take it seriously, in fact, I always feel like I'm being made fun of. Additionally, I'm a very anxious person, social interaction is hard and I can only interact with women from a professional or friendly POV, which deepens my feelings of inadequacy and subordination. That said, I'm physically fit, I'm considered smart by everyone around me and I guess that by most's standards, I'm successful. Going to try to be more dominant from today onwards. Gotta fake it till you make it, some would say.

Something I feel is important to add to the discussion is that acute changes in testosterone are normal, and micromanaging these is not only unlikely to lead to positive outcomes, but also complicate life needlessly. Heavy squatting and other compound lifts, for example, has been shown to produce a great spike in testosterone. This has led to a lot of ineffective advice being given; always include heavy compounds to produce a test spike and maximize anabolism. There is no evidence that this actually works, and you wouldn't expect it to if you understand that what matters for anabolism is the area under the curve over time.

However recently I have began: dieting, exercising as well as being more sociable this has greatly improved my confidence; I am definitely going to keep this in mind in the future.

I was wondering, would the same principles apply to how many likes/followers a user gets on Instagram compare to another user. We do tend to compare ourselves naturally so I see why not and can be an addition to whether or not Instagram lowers your testosterone since likes/followers can be an indicator of social status on Instagram.

Testosterone makes you seek a mate. When you find one, it drops to a level where the seeking behavior is more in the background and other hormones like vasopressin rise to ensure that you keep bonding with that mate to keep raising high-quality offspring, plus those hormones raise your life expectancy. Some of those hormones actually make you more dominant, but in a much more considerate and family-oriented way than the ego-dominance of testosterone. An unhappy or incompatible bond can reduce those hormones, causing depression and health problems due to the low level of all hormones. That is for the majority of people, but not for some. For some their testosterone level never drops and they usually don't produce offspring in the modern world due to making many shallow bonds due to the seeking behavior not weakening or produce low quality offspring (single mothers/serial cheating problems leading to parental fighting and secrecy leading to disconnection between family members) but probably higher quantity of offspring. Those are also the people the majority of non-bonded (and unhappily bonded) people compare themselves to because they seem to have a much better chance at finding more high-quality mates. Basically, your body already has a reproductive strategy, be it quality or whatever.
@zaheerahman7266
@zaheerahman7266 3 жыл бұрын
It IS more complicated. The research suggests that men with lower T are more likely to be and stay married to begin with. This is all about investment tradeoffs and life history theory. Basically you either invest in reproduction or longevity. You either have a fast life strategy: having lots of sex, spreading your seed, earlier death, displays of aggression, competing for dominance and status, and high T. OR you have a slow life strategy: low T, less dominance, longer lifespan, more monogamous and a focus on investing resources into one relationship. This is why the act of committing in a relationship lowers T, because high T is conducive to fast life strategies and polygamous reproduction. Men who ARE married and have higher T don't stay monogamously married for long..

After the match they did the same. They both had increased testosterone, but the loosing team had much higher testosterone. Its speculated that this is because when a team wins they are more protective of their status, when your body thinks your status is threatened it increases testosterone.
