Believes it’s poison, always finding ways to lower it by 5% or 10%…

Men with high estrogen become more feminine in sexual preferences. This is intuitive.
Women with high estrogen? Become more *masculine* in sexual preferences. LESS attracted to high-testosterone men.

Great response thread. Only thing I’d nitpick is the ROI part. The ROI calculation is not as simple as that.
Example - a Google Ads campaign for brand keywords can have a ROAS of 8.0 yet still be unprofitable. Because “customers would have bought anyway”

Wokeness = Estrogen dominance
Explanation below
Wokeness is essentially a state of hypersensitivity.
What creates this state?
1. Too much serotonin activity
2. Too much NMDA activity
And both are facilitated by?
Estrogen

Thanks great post! Seems like the transdermal dilemma still applies - if the cream is effective enough to penetrate into the scalp, it’s likely going systemic. If it doesn’t go systemic, it’s likely not being absorbed well. RU58841 had many feeling anti-androgen sides too

This happened to us recently. Unsexy answer is to either increase the bid, or try cost caps since it’s less restrictive than bid caps.

“An ad account shouldn't have one bidcap or costcap number that all ads are subservient to”
I hear you on this but this really depends on how smart Meta is.
If Meta is smart enough, one campaign suffices. Spends the perfect amount on upper funnel ads, in order to get more
