5 foot 8 148. Started at 170 a year ago. Looking to see what my estimated bf% is and whether I should cut bulk or recomp. Thanks in advance

30m and seeing a 25f Started seeing someone about 8 weeks ago. Exclusive 2 weeks in, whole shabang. 4th weekend talked about dating intentions and seeing us becoming a couple she’s never had a relationship. She had to go home about 2 hours away due to medical reasons (Crohn’s) for the month, I offered to drive and see her which I did etc. Hung out Wednesday got a call Saturday saying something “felt off” and she was choosing to end it. When I pressed her today saying after spending all the time/ effort I think I deserve a little bit better than some vague answer of feeling off and this is what I got back

Yes I completely understand why you feel that way and I am really sorry that this was so blindsiding. I was really enjoying our dates. I agree that you put a lot into this and I’m very appreciative of everything you’ve done. To further explain it, with me being in the hospital/ home recently I’ve been thinking a lot and I realized I wasn’t able to be fully in it. I know we had talked about being very intentional with dating and not wasting each others time so I felt like it wouldn’t be fair to you to continue/ have you put in all of this effort when I was feeling this way. I honestly just wasn’t in the headspace to give a lot of thought into it when you had given me an out before and I felt like when you called me yesterday I didn’t want to brush past it again. I want to reassure you that I was having such a great time with you, I just cannot see myself being able to commit in the same way you are looking for right now.

Would love to know what yall think and if it’s possible she might come back around or what. Honestly kind of blind sided I thought everything was great. Talked every day responses back within 10 mins every time. Almost drove up there Saturday for a day date. Just kind of fucking lost

Disclosed HSV1 today to somebody, I had let it be known I probably had it due to everyone in my family having it. Let it be known that 2/3 people have it. Just got formal blood results today but we’ve been dating 8 weeks and it was weighing on me. Said she needed more time to “research” because she has crohns. I mean at the end of the day I told her I’m willing to hop on antivirals, and I’ve never had a breakout. I just don’t see how you can effectively cut 60% of people out. It sucks because I saw a real future with this girl.

Hey all, looking for a little bit of insight. I have recently started seeing someone who has Crohn’s and it is becoming fairly serious. Little bit of background, they’re on a biologic I believe Skyrizi, and are currently not showing any signs of inflammation.

1. I want to know what dating someone with Crohn’s looks like long term in reference to children, flare up, biologics failing, etc. I’ve done a lot of research but figured it would be good to go straight to people who face this every day.
2. I carry HSV1, never had an outbreak that I know of, I simply know because I was hospitalized about 5 years ago and was told I probably have it because of slightly raised levels of antibodies but it was within the false positive range. I am unsure of location or anything like that. I have let that be known to them. Though they do not care and want to pursue this, I still do. I want to make sure they wouldn’t constantly be afflicted with it and it wouldn’t be overall a danger to

them.

I appreciate any insight you guys could give and hoping you all the best!

Hey, trying to distinguish between prodrome and anxiety. My first ever outbreak I experienced just itching it felt like moisture. Wasn’t constant either. Trying to figure out if I’m experiencing prodrome or just anxiety and hyper fixation, have had skin sensitivity since first outbreak but have never had any outbreaks since 3.5 years ago. What would prodrome feel like? I keep seeing stuff on nerve pain, would I be able to notice it easily if it was prodrome?

Ghsv1 for 4 years. Had primary outbreak at base of penis, had another outbreak 5 months later with more sores at base nothing since then. Began suppressive valtrex 1g/d for a partner in late June. Early July after sex and sleeping with her and with a condom on (was drunk and passed out in it) noticed some severe irritation at the tip. Leakage trouble peeing etc. the severe lasted about a week, it settled down a little bit with a red bump starting on July 8th at the left side of the tip right at urethra entry. I’ve been on valtrex since, now August 1st, it has not blistered scabbed opened or anything. Does this sound like a recurrence?

I believe I have had GHSV1 for about 4 years, I had one outbreak 4 years ago but it cleared up before I could be swabbed (about a week). On 3 weeks ago I had sex with my fiancé used a condom, I was drunk so I actually fell asleep in the condom. 2 days after I had super bad irritation constant leakage feeling. There was a little redness at the tip of the penis (my initial outbreak was at the base close to my pubic area). It’s been 3 weeks now and there’s a red bump, I am and have been on suppressive valtrex for my partner. When symptoms started I was told to up to 2g valtrex per day which I did for 10 days then dropped back to 1g per day my usual regimen, the bump is still there, there’s redness irritation and it’s on the left side of the meatus. It’s not inflamed at all in the mornings or when I’m not wearing compressing pants/moving around. Whenever I move around it becomes red and inflamed and the symptoms needing to pee/burning feel worse. It’s not persistent it comes and goes sometimes sitting down makes it worse. I tested negative for everything on my urine screening. Could this be friction? Would it be abnormal for a GHSV1 outbreak to last this long in a healthy 28 year old male? I set an urology appointment for next week but would love input.
