Turns out the hyper masculinity thing is a huge turnoff for most women. Not all, but a huge percentage of women eyeroll at the big trucks and the macho atmosphere.

Honestly I prefer microdosing over most other things.

My first highs were not a lot, like 1g, enough to get some minor visuals, and lasted like 5 hrs or so

Shortly after the mushrooms and realizing it wasn't cringe to care about others, I met my now wife of 9 years.

I'll admit I just got around to becoming a girl last year, but if I didn't meet someone, I would have transitioned like 8 years ago.

I mean, I'm guessing OP eventually actually did it, so maybe or maybe not.
