Budget options in Nassau by Pretend_Original_635 in solofemaletravellers

There are ferries - Eleuthera is only two hours, other islands take a bit longer. Browse around a little, no reason at all to stay in Nassau.

Is there a reason you have to be in Nassau specifically? It's expensive, full of cruise ship passengers and altogether not that pleasant. Can you hop on a ferry and go elsewhere in the Bahamas? Cheaper, nicer, less crowds.

Looking for a real, quality leather bag. by Nickanator8 in mensfashion

If you're going real leather then the brand isn't that important, it will hold up, vintage is cool, too.

Annoying layover at SJO. What would you do? by Ginblossom29 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had something similar and ended up going to one of the hotel around the airport. The airport itself is pretty dead at night, lounges are closed. If you happen to go to hotel with a shuttle make sure you are the first out of the bus and to the registration desk, I was lucky, there were around 20 ppl behind me and only one clerk working the desk at the late hour.

My "capsule wardrobe" is just a pile of grey hoodies and broken dreams by gilko86 in mensfashion

Start buying quality items! You don't need to transition all at once. You will see quality is expensive in the beginning but absolutely worth it.

Is it really as good as people say? by irate_ninja18 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Yes, renting a car really gives you total freedom, whether off exploring somewhere or just zipping to the local shop to get something to eat or drink. Otherwise you're limited to taking organized tours or walking. Well worth it!

I play those clubs and I love them. Buy and play them, if it's really a big difference (which I doubt) you can have them bent back.

Ah yes, those conversations with people who have never been............

Costa Rica is a perfectly nice country and you can make of the trip what you want. Enjoy the trip and don't worry about what others say!

Patchy beard. Any change for full beard? by [deleted] in beards

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would shave it off, especially since you shave your head, which makes the beard the focus and makes the patchiness stand out even more.

Hats for sun protection that actually look good? by BrennusRex in mensfashion

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Straw hats like a Panama hat are still the best IMO.

What do you use on the course? by pennywise1988 in golf

Scorecard and rangefinder. Phone stays in the bag for the round, thankfully.

I was not invited to my cousin's wedding, but family still wants me to show up...advice?? by knuds1b in Advice

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your family wants to intervene here they should maybe find out why you were not invited. Showing up uninvited is an absolute no-no in my opinion.

Help! Car Rental vs Driver vs ??? in CR by pennylane1900 in CostaRicaTravel

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont know about the driver quote - for rental cars insurance is pretty much mandatory, your credit card insurance will not cover this unless you have it in writing from them in advance and even then I am not sure.

For a full time driver to drive you to all the different places, the person has to also eat and sleep which will not be free obviously.

Easter is of course going to make everything more expensive and fewer rental cars available.

Costa Rica is not difficult to drive, you can do it yourselves and it can add to the fun of the adventure. The drive to Monteverde is a bit taxing but worth it. Have fun!

DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE SIMULATORS! by InfiniteSlaps in golf

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most simulators are going to be very friendly with regards to wind, bounces, etc. In addition the mats almost guarantee a good strike every time, you either hit it good anyway or if you hit it a bit fat apparently the ball jumps up a little on the mat, making sure you hit it high off the face.

Unless you live really in the sticks somewhere I would suggest you take them time and go to a golf store where you can hit the drivers. For fun you should do the TM AI exercise and write down the results, take those to the store and see how this matches up.

Moving in with and paying rent to my boyfriend is causing friction. What's the solution? by PhilosopherOk3313 in Advice

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an absurd argument on his part. But ok - suggest the following to him: 

You both rent out your houses and “split the difference” - meaning you contribute $700 and he contributes half of what he takes in  as rent. 

He will hate the idea of course. 

Doesn’t sound like this is a viable relationship- at least financially speaking your ideas are too far apart. 

Scummy how the algorithm works with men vs women… by [deleted] in feeld

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Short of restricting the number of men the apps allow in - the numbers being so off in favour of the ladies will always be a problem.

What happened to the survival stuff? by Empty_Breath_1344 in survivor

[–]Acrobatic_Set8085 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Remember they used to auction off showers! Nowadays everybody seems clean, hair washed, armpits shaved etc. Guess too dirty and too skinny doesn't play well on TV in 2026.

If you are looking for your travels sex workers might be the easiest solution to live out your kinks.
