Free or total?
Probably Total
I've had times in the past where I had very high total with suboptimal free testosterone. Turns out I had high sex hormone binding globalization.
Bingo. Free is correct. Albumin comes into play too, but it’s a much weaker binder than SHBG. You could have 1,000 ng/dL total, but if your SHBG is too high, you’ll look like a vegan.
I found that boron is an excellent nutrient to mitigate that effect.
Yes
Huh?
People with low t only believe in subjective truth
Is this a subjective or objective truth you’re observing about people with low t?
Objective.
I’m curious to hear more! Is there an objective experiment I should be aware of?
No
So it’s an objective subjective observation then?
No
You’re a mysteriously wise and testosterone filled man, I can’t objectively understand your position so I should probably get my t checked
I feel very manly today, ty vm
females have some testosterone
Is objective truth the fact that is being proven via experiment?
No. Objective truth exists, but its impossible to find - you can only approach it. Functional truth is the best we can do.
Because those levels are what will save you from the inevitable dissenting mob who dislikes the truth.
Low T men also have political signs in their yard instead of a nice lawn.
Fuck a lawn. High T men have a biodiverse yard with a garden
So do low t hippies
Maybe in the 70s. Most hippies now live in cities.
Fair enough. I’m not arguing for the virtues of lawn care; however, I have observed the following qualities, in my neighborhood at least, of the few home owners that have nice lawns: - They are conscientious - They show pride of ownership - They are competent - They are not concerned with virtue signaling Perhaps this doesn’t meet the bio hacker criteria for achieving high T levels, but these are masculine qualities nonetheless.
Low T men have lawns.

What about if you're female?
I believe!
There is a thing called THE TRUTH TRUTH IS NOT SUBJECTIVE
