Euphoria actor Angus Cloud died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and other drugs.
We’re all familiar with meth brows on women- those overplucked, poorly drawn on, or (God forbid) tatted on atrocities.
But one thing I’ve never heard spoken about is meth brows on men.
To understand this phenomenon, we must first explore what causes meth brows in the first place. Meth (and other uppers such as cocaine) causes alertness, extreme focus, and hyper-fixation on whatever task the user undertakes. Given these facts, it is easy to see why:
a) The user’s eyes will be wide open when under the influence, causing their eyebrows to raise to almost unnatural levels. This can give a cartoonish, youthful appearance (that in the early stages of addiction, before drugs have ravaged the system- can actually look rather attractive).
b) Those who embark upon plucking their brows (generally women) while high will find that the brows do not stay in that same position once the drugs have worn off- leaving the classic “meth brow” look
Mac Miller died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.
Why is this important? Because our value as women is very much dependent on who we surround ourselves with. If we want to land a high-value man, we must be high-value women. And in order to be high-value women we must stay as far as possible away from drug addicts and other dregs of society.
Justin Bieber has tried to write off speculation regarding his substance abuse as "Lyme disease", but make no mistake: those are meth brows.
Some addicts in the early stages can live quite functional lives. Now that I’m in my 40s they’re much easier to spot- if a man doesn’t own his own home and have an education and a secure career, then I know to look the other way. But I fear for women in their early 20s as it is much easier for young men to appear stable. They may even attend college and have a decent career in the early stages of their addiction- but that won’t last for long. And when their life comes crumbling down you DO NOT want to be buried in the rubble.
So how do we protect ourselves from these- the scrotiest of scrotes?
First and foremost, we must eschew the "party girl/cool girl trope". I am firmly convinced that this is the most harmful of all tropes. Sure, tradwives may be problematic- but they won't bring you to a party, then pass out drunk in the other room while you get gang raped.
We MUST have our wits about us at all times.
And we must choose our circle very carefully. Surround yourself with people who love fitness and health. True fitness- not steroid/ unhealthy body image Instagram fitness- but a genuine concern for their bodies and for other human beings. People who have hobbies- who know real joy. People who aren't constantly trying to fill a void that can't be filled.
Be suspicious of charisma. Remember that the bouncy Tiggers of the world are often the most problematic.
And trust your gut. It won't lie.
My gosh, I didn't realize this. I definitely learned something today.
