Women know instantly

They always say that women know instantly, For example, whether it’s yes or no. But my experience says otherwise. In my experience Women mostly believe what you say. So if you don’t say anything, she might have that gut feeling. But if you are bombarding her with images ideas and meaningful layers,… read more

Romance & Masculinity

As I talk big game in my yet-to-be-finished Bio, I thought I'd best provide a real-life example of what Romance and Masculinity mean to me and the role they play in my life. The point I am hoping to get across is that, for me, romance, to be a romantic, is a way of life, connected directly with… (edited) read more

This app was definitely built for someone who has ADHD🙌🏼!! What do you mean? I get rewarded if I don’t 👻!! NGL.. I am bad about swiping and not responding. I’m pretty sure it’s the dopamine hit then I’m like 💃, but this is fun. But anyways… Hey Y’all, I’m Brittany✨

Do you really want a partner, a link?

Focus on one option (not one person, but the kind of link you are looking for...) not on a list of attributes showing off). The more options your brain have, the less it is interested in continue for more engagement. These have the name of dopamine system. And they help us to choose between easy… (edited) read more

Why We Binge on Connection?

When we lack connection, our brains enter a scarcity mindset which makes us over consume social interaction once it’s available. We lose ourselves in dopamine loops while chasing intimacy until reality hits. That post chat guilt isn't just about lost time. It’s the realization that we’ve traded… read more

Impatient

I recently moved. And I've been super frustrated with my space because I am temporarily disabled due to being hitby a car. But I want to organize and make my space feel like home. I have a second surgery to fix my arm again on the 11th. But man... I really just want a new tattoo or piercing, just… read more

Just having a really low few days

If you don't mind please comment and show off photos of your fuzzball besties and furbabies for chances at some dopamine 🥲 Thank you Edit to say thank you to everyone who shared, so many adorable fluffs out there ! (edited)

Would you rather

You have 2 people to pick from: One is romantically leading you on for a fun fantasy that won't last more than 3 months. It's enjoyable for the unpredictability, the way they act like you could lose them at any moment, and they turn hot and cold on you, so the dopamine hits hard with consistent… read more

When people post viral food pictures..

I keep seeing some people, on here, just sp4mm¡ng the food feed with pictures they've taken online and passing it off as their own...and I wonder why? The only person they're cheating is themselves. Is it the fake thrill of approval? That dopamine hit for false recognition? It is baffling. On… (edited) read more

Making the hard choices.

One day, life takes a dump on you. Love life is doa, your jobs in ruins, your dog dies, family members pass suddenly. And one day you decide to go Gym, not to get muscle, not to lose weight, because you're so low that you're doing everything you can to generate dopamine. And month turns into two,… read more

I don't think I care

About video games anymore. I understand that they served me at many points in my life but I've been doing art all day and realized that it's scratching that itch that I was getting by being in a colorful fantasy world through video games. My computer is on its way out anyway, it's coming apart at… read more

Held, quietly 📝

You wear your freedom quietly, like a beret tilted just enough to say I chose this, not I’m trying to be seen. You don’t fall— you wander. Into moments, faces, characters on screens, dopamine sparks that warm but never burn the house down. Love, to you, isn’t a vow carved in stone. It’s presence… read more

Who likes chatting as a strategy of emotional regulation? How's the dopamine balance working in case you're trying that strategy?

Conversation Skills

One thing I notice these days is (again) to do with the terminally online, for whom the sole form of communication is clearly text. They usually have very short attention spans. "Conversations" are solely a form of "message trading", which they get bored of quickly. This is a known psychological… read more

The Price of a “Great” Society

The final chord: prosperity. Here is the pragmatic clarity: the system serves the individual, not the other way around. If a state requires mass burnout among the youth—or the disappearance of dissenters and rational thinkers—to achieve greatness, then that is not prosperity; it is highly… read more

39 Single and having an existential crisis

I am 39, but I feel great and I get to enjoy my life doing what I love that I could not do because I thought I needed a relationship to be happy. It does get lonely being a single older fart, especially since I am new to the area I am living in and feel like an outcast after and I spent my entire… read more

Unpopular opinion

I refuse to play a game where I can get stressed out in the hopes of getting a crumb of a dopamine hit. I’ve got gray hairs already from life , I don’t need more.

Online dating is toxic

​I have been in the landscape of digital dating for years, and in that time, I have been fundamentally reshaped. I began as a man who believed he understood the desires of women, only to emerge as someone more profoundly disillusioned and confused by the modern "marketplace" than I ever thought… read more

A Kiss

A kiss isn’t just romantic… it’s biochemical. When you kiss someone you’re emotionally connected to, your brain releases dopamine, oxytocin, and serotonin—chemicals linked to pleasure, bonding, and emotional stability. This creates a powerful sense of closeness, reward, and well-being. At the… read more

DID YOU KNOW? ❤️🧠

Falling in love doesn’t happen only in your heart. It causes measurable changes in your brain chemistry. Romantic attraction involves reward systems associated with dopamine, while bonding and attachment involve chemicals such as oxytocin and vasopressin. But here’s the beautiful part: Research… read more

Less than conventional reading spots

I can not read inside. My ADHD will get the best of me. Now that I work remotely, the best I can do is read/work out on the patio or balcony. It's best if I get my dopamine through unconventional means. Photos from over the years, of my favorite spots - Top of a firetrucks 🚒 - Abandoned… (edited) read more

Happy Sisyphus

Ever heard of Gold Medal Depression? Ever climbed a mountain and experience the uphill as much more engaging than going back downhill? Humans are built for struggle. To strive towards a goal. Once you reach a goal, you will want another to look forward to. "I want", not "I have" is the driver of… read more

When you're happy, you enjoy the music. When you're sad, you understand the lyrics.

When you're happy, you go with the beat — you enjoy it. It gives you a dopamine rush. But when you're sad or feeling low, you understand every message in the words.

What to do to treat myself

Pay day this week might be the first one in years where I can actually treat myself to something fun but now im stumped on what to do, it's not like I have friends to go do something with, and locally there's not much to do solo.
