Is that what I am? A low T male? I've never been competitive, I don't work out, I don't try to be cool, I surround myself with cats, and I'm pretty good at decorating. Shit, I've been joking with my wife for years (in regards to the decorating) that I was probably supposed to be gay but it didn't quite pan out. Turns out I'm just Low T. But I'm also a good father, I own a set of tools, I eat a lot of turkey sandwiches (high tryptophan), I can change a tire, and I take care of the house and the yard. Does that offset the Low T? Or is it like.. you're born with Low T, you die with Low T?
T levels don't matter in my book, unless it's affecting your health.
You sound like a normal dude to me. Just because you don't gargle monster energy drinks after you brush your teeth doesn't mean you're not manly. It means you don't subscribe to societal norms (expectations). You sound confident with who you are and that is more masculine than having a jacked up HD 3500 chev, and treating people like they are scum
I myself just wish I could grow a long beard and not look 20 when I'm 40.
Friend of mine transitioned ftm and he now has a longer thicker beard than me, like wtf, can I take what he took? Cause I want that

You can, it's probably easier to get a prescription for yourself than it was for him. But beard genetics are weird, it's not as simple as testosterone; though testosterone does effect it. Sorry if I took your comment too seriously.
I don't think that means either of you have hormonal imbalances, I think you're just good dudes.
Hbomberguy did a testosterone test after repeatedly being called a 'soyboy' and his testosterone was actually higher than average. It's just a chemical the body uses to turn on certain genes, it's not 'manly personality juice'.
Oh I don't think I actually have low testosterone, I'm just joking about what "masculinity" means and how it is nonsense to define it by how much of one hormone someone has
It has a noticeable impact on my mental wellbeing and motivation. Also helps with going to the gym. I sleep much better before it wears off (about 2 weeks between injections) which is just a great improvement to quality of life.
I have no idea if I'm actually low T or not. My hair fell out at 19 and I have a beard and a hairy back.. But I don't feel like a lot of other dudes whatsoever. This thread has been really humble, though.
