Thread: being on no fap/no social media since January really resets the brain...

So I've been on no fap/no social media for the majority of the year. Was never the biggest fapper to begin with, and my social media use wasn't as bad as some people, but I still noticed the effects.

Fast forward a few months, I cut it all cold turkey. I never got those "semen retention" powers that seems to be all the rage, but a few things I found very interesting...

I started finding "normal" girls a lot more attractive than before. I guess because I'm not longer conditioned to seeing IG models and girls of the like. I know some of you are going to think this is cope, but then I want to get to my next point.

It's actually making it easier for me to talk to hotter girls regardless. It's sort of a reverse paradox. Due to the fact that I find more girls attractive, I myself subconsciously have more options I would be totally ok with, so striking out on a chick isn't the end of the world. Maybe that's the part where no fap comes in, but that's debatable.

I am never going to go back on social media. Fapping we will see, but it def be a few more months at least. I know most of you wont, but I'd def recommend trying something like that at least once in a while and see what results you get. Your mind may be blown.

Also can confirm once you cut porn and jerking off more "average" girls seem more attractive. It's not about becoming more desperate and lowering your standards, it's about having realistic expectations and standards.

literally and I think my use of no social media attributes to that as well. it's funny because I lived in Miami before and have been with borderline IG model type girls, but have no real extra attraction towards them if they suck personality wise.

i'm much more chill about life. maybe because I do not see everyone's highlights every hour on the hour anymore?

again, I am going to keep this going and see how I feel after this initial phase of "newbie gains"

no fap, you got a gf brah? no porn too?
