Apr 20, 2020 VELCROFIST'S SUBMISSIONS: This page shows a list of stories and/or poems, that this author has published on Literotica. I never will on a dating site, but on a site like this one, the various forums I visit for 3D modelling/game development, etc. I do it because I get tired of guys hitting on me. Usually it's sight unseen, so I'll put up a bikini pic to show them that the girl they probably thought was a young hot thing is actually a 300 lb. Middle aged woman. A good picture will help you stand out from the rest of the pack, who usually post not-so-great photos of themselves, and it can get you noticed quicker by the people you want to date. Do be the only person in the picture. Don't post pictures that include your friends.
A social media influencer with more than 95,000 Instagram followers has revealed how his struggles with self-image because of male pattern hair loss left him avoiding mirrors and even made him agoraphobic.
The only thing worse is an ad of a woman that rather put you in jail. Now, I know I’m revealing this and that I’m the Dating Cop and I really shouldn’t be, but I want you to stay away from this site so why not share the truth! Ads For Other Ads. Some of the advertisements that I see are literally just ads to crappy dating networks. Aug 07, 2018 Anyone know Kelvin Kings Walker by: Anonymous He found me on FB dating site Sept 4 and we have been corresponding since, until this week he had a problem with a drilling machine and needed to purchase a part for it, however his bank account is in the states was frozen because of being accessed by someone else.
Cosmin Cernica, 28, who divides his time between London and Dubai, admits there was a time when he avoided posting photos of himself after he started losing his hair four years ago.
Cosmin, who lives with his husband Robert, 51, owner of a project management consultancy, in Chelsea, west London, said: “I really felt my whole world turn upside down.”
He added: “I spent hours in the morning in the bathroom looking with a magnifying glass at my hair to see if more had come out overnight. It was like I was torturing myself.”
He even became agoraphobic – making him scared to go out – after lockdown restrictions began to ease, sparked by his fear that friends would notice a change in his hairline.
He said: “It was quite a shock when I noticed my hair loss for the first time, because I was only 24 and I hadn’t considered that I would go bald, especially as I was so young.”
He added: “For some people, especially men, they won’t be bothered about losing hair, but I couldn’t imagine myself going bald.
“I’m completely in love with my job and what I do. I have so much passion for social media and the influence world, but it really does come with a lot of pressure.
“In my industry, image is so important and plays a major part in everything I do, whether that is being active on social media or attending events.”
Cosmin works as a social media consultant and content creator, advising others on how to run their pages.
He added: “As part of my content creating, I have to post pictures of myself, and I definitely feel under pressure to look the best I can – even sometimes feeling I need to edit or crop pictures, as I fear a backlash and worry about what people would say if I didn’t look the part.”
And Cosmin says his issues began to seep into other aspects of his life – even ruining holidays with his husband.
He said: “Whenever we were travelling, my husband would want to take photos of us together while sightseeing, but I would never take my hat off. I couldn’t just switch off, I worried about my hair all the time.”
He added: “There was even a time where, we were going through airport security, and I was asked to remove my hat. I started crying in front of everyone. Even now it makes me emotional to think about it. I was just so insecure.”
Cosmin says his hair loss began to affect him to the point where he avoided leaving the house and considered having a hair transplant.
He said: “I was on the verge of going through with the procedure when Covid hit.”
He added: “I had hoped to get it done in Turkey or Romania but travelling was out of the question.
“On top of that, lockdown meant I barely left the house and when restrictions started to lift, I was still reluctant to be seen by people I knew.
“My hairline was constantly getting worse, and I was so self-conscious about it.”
The influencer admits he began to keep track of how much hair he was losing on a daily basis.
Cosmin said: “Because I was filled with so much dread, I couldn’t see anybody. I couldn’t see my friends and I couldn’t see my family.
“I even developed a high form of alopecia – a condition which makes your hair fall out often in clumps – and bald spots appeared. I was desperately sad. I knew it was down to stress, but it just made me feel even worse. It was a spiral.”
He added: “At my lowest, I avoided the mirrors in the house and each morning I would run a lint roller over my pillow to check how much hair had fallen out.
“After that, I would always cry.”
Cosmin says it was also hard for his husband, Robert, to see him at such a low point.
“My hair loss literally took over my life,” he confessed.
“The alopecia tipped me over the edge and as soon as it was safe and we were allowed to travel, my husband booked a trip away. We left the country and went on a three-month holiday to Greece and Spain, just to get away from social media and the industry pressure.
“Robert was supportive of me getting a hair transplant, because he didn’t want me to be unhappy anymore.”
While Cosmin did not have a hair transplant, he regularly takes pills to promote hair growth.
“It was getting to the point where I was scared to wash my hair because I didn’t want to put any added pressure on my scalp,” he said.

“I now take a daily pill which thickens the hair I still have, although it doesn’t help my receding hairline.”
He added: “I follow the treatment religiously and I also massage a special hair loss foam into my head twice a day and no longer blow dry my hair. After just three months, I noticed a big difference. There was no more shedding.
“The spots where I had alopecia aren’t completely back to normal yet, but they’ve started to grow back.”
But Cosmin says the most noticeable difference has been to his confidence.
He said: “Since the hair has started to regrow, I’ve been able to see people face to face again and get back to the job I fell in love with.
“These days, there are added pressures to look a certain way and keep up appearances because social media is a big part of everyone’s lives. For me that pressure is tenfold because it is also my job.
“I think for men to discuss struggling with hair loss is quite a taboo topic. Many men suffer in silence, because it’s expected of us not to worry about these things but, in reality, it can destroy our confidence.”
He added: “I want people to know that there is treatment out there, it doesn’t need to become such a negative experience in life.”
The Institute of Trichologists defines male pattern baldness as a condition more commonly inherited from the maternal grandfather.
They say: “Male pattern hair loss usually starts either with a recession to the temples or a diffuse thinning to the crown and can be followed in some cases by a gradual thinning, then a complete denuding of the top. Very rarely is the hair lost on the sides and back although men over seventy can lose hair in the neck area.
“At puberty, more of the male hormone testosterone circulates around the body causing hairs that are genetically programmed (in the pattern areas) to produce finer and shorter hairs with each new cycle of hair growth. Testosterone reaches the target organ, in this case the hair follicle, where the enzyme 5α-reductase changes testosterone into the highly potent hormone di-hydro testosterone, which causes the above affects.”

In my last post I covered questions on winks at Match.com. This time I wanted to cover other types of questions that have sent people here.

How Do I Hide My Profile on Match.com?
As someone who signs up for services to review or test them, I’m very familiar with this process! To hide your profile:
1. Click on Profile at the top of the screen
2. On the left, you should see a section labeled Visibility Options. Simply click Hide Profile.
What Happens When I Hide My Profile?
There several things hiding your profile do but primarily it removes you from search results. You can still contact people when your profile is hidden but they won’t be able to look at your profile so that sort of defeats the purpose (so remember to make yourself visible if you start contacting people). Additionally, you will not be shown in people’s “Who’s Viewed Me” section. However, if you unhide your profile you will appear in this section for anyone you viewed. Keep this in mind if for some reason you’re hiding your profile in an attempt to not let people know you were looking at them!
Can I Hide My Match.com Profile But Still Quality for Guarantee?
As I covered in my discussion of issues with the six month guarantee, you cannot hide your profile and still qualify for the guarantee. Be sure to read all the rules as there are additional qualifications.
How Do i Contact Non-Paying Members on Match.com?
If you are a paying subscriber to Match.com, you can contact anyone you want regardless of whether they pay or not. However, if you contact a non-payer then they will not be able to contact you back. Unfortunately, Match.com doesn’t reveal who is a paying member and who is not. The only people you can be sure pay are those with a green background around their profile.
What Does a Green Highlighted Profile on Match.com Mean?
A profile highlighted in green is someone who has signed up for the platinum package. Anyone who is attempting to qualify for the 6-month guarantee has to sign up for this plan. This package also allows the member to see when people open emails that they send and their profiles are shown to new members first. Obviously it’s also highlighted in green.
As a side note, I had always thought that the Match.com 6-month guarantee came free with the standard 6-month plan but it is actually a separate plan (that costs a dollar more per month than the standard 6-month plan). I suspect this had been changed at some point but it’s only a dollar more per month so I guess it isn’t a huge problem.
How Can I Tell Who the Paying Members Are?
One question had asked if a green profile meant the user was a subscriber. As I described, green is actually the platinum account. To be clear though, I don’t believe there is a way to differentiate normal users from paying users normally.
How Much will the Match.com Six Month Guarantee Cost in Total?
The plan to get the 6-month guarantee is $17.99 a month or a total of $107.94.
Does Match.com Have Any Other Deals?
Match.com has a 7-day free trial. If you use this trial you can still sign up for the 6-month guarantee if you want to try to take advantage of both promotions.
Match also has a promotion where you can get 20% off the priceof any of their standard plans. I believe that this would work with the 6-month guarantee but it’s not clear to me if it would work with the 7-day trial. If you decide to try this be sure to follow the instructions on the sign up screen in the link above.
How Do I Change My Primary Photo on Match.com?
Changing your primary photo is pretty simple although you will have to wait up to 24 hours for them to approve your new photo as your primary. To change your photo:
1. Click Profile at the top of the screen
2. Click on Add/Edit Photos on the next screen (it should be just below the “My Profile” heading)
3. Any photo that can be set as your primary photo should have a “make primary” button. If you have other photos that can be made your primary photo just click the button and the process to change it should begin.
4. If none of your other photos are marked as “make primary” your current photos are not seen as good candidates for your primary photo. This would normally be because they want your primary photo to be a clear headshot of only you.
What Does It Mean If She Looked at My Profile but Didn’t Wink?
To be honest, it doesn’t mean much of anything at all. Most people look at a large number of profile but contact very few (or sometimes none at all). Don’t take it personally and if you think she’s interesting why not contact her?
What If I Get No Replies to my Emails?
In my online dating guide I discuss this in great detail in my section on an absence of responses. There are more reasons than you might think for this sort of thing to happen so it’s best to not take this personally. For all you know the people you are contacting aren’t even paying members.
What is the Number of Members at Match.com?
I’ve not seen any numbers on the exact count of members but I do know that as of June 2009, Match.com was getting close to 3.5 million visitors a month.

Do Match.com Free Weekends Exist?
To date, I’ve never seen a Match.com free weekend. To be honest, the service doesn’t have very many free time promotions that I’m aware of, although they do offer several discount promotions such as getting 20% off when subscribing.
