How was Christmas, if you're celebrating? Any plans for New Year's Eve? Any major achievements this year that you want to share? Resolutions for 2025?

Have a good one folks!

Happy Monday!

How was your weekend? Any plans, milestones, major dread or whatever else you want to share coming up in the week ahead?

And how are you generally?

I'm a man in my 40's, moved to a new area and trying to make friends. A guy I've had lunch with a couple of times and we've connected pretty well. I'm not getting disinterested vibes when we're actually at lunch. However, I've invited him to lunch 3 times recently, once each month, and he's not responded. He's responded to other texts. "Hey, I'm going to event XYZ, any advice" and he'd reply. I've run into him at the grocery store twice in that time period and he's been genial. He's never offered/initiated lunch or anything, but that's not new. (No one ever asks me to do things, I'm The Organizer.) I'm getting really, really mixed signals.

How many more times do you try in a situation like this before you "take the hint" and stop?

Since it's been kind of weekly since 8+ weeks... Maybe start this thread again?

Not a moderator or anything (nor trying to be one), but I liked this community on reddit and would be sad to see it die.

How often do you shave? How long does it take you? How do you do it?

Just curious as it feels like a chore for me. I usually do a with the grain shave with a safety razor and no product since I don’t have a lot of time and that gives the least irritation, but it’s not a close shave. I see guys that get stupid close shaves and I often wonder how much time they spend on it.

Edit: People, I didn’t ask for your opinion on if I should shave it. If you don’t have actual experience with the topic in question please stop replying, its not helpful in the slightest.

Saw a video on YT and looked kinda interesting, but trying to find any more info just led to shops and channels that don’t seem legit in the slightest.

Any real people got experiences with them?

Do you have to replace them often? prices look a bit much to be purchasing often.

How do you deal with say not being able to use it if it breaks, do you just go balding until you can get a new one and freak everyone out who only knows you with nice hair in the interim?

Basically, title.

Looking forward to see everyone's recommendations

Looking for some hidden gems

Sorry for the weird phrasing, English isn't my first language.

I know men can theoretically have kids at whatever age, but there is still a limit to how old you can be to take care of your child.

I guess the answers are going to vary a lot depending on people's familial situations, but curious to see the answers.

Asking as I see more and more people talking about mental health issues, and curious to see if people could share their experiences.

Curious to see if people have experiences to share.
