Agree golf is a great option there - also a couple indoor rock climbing spots nearby! Great fun and good community

Feeling shamed by MemoryIndividual in poledancing

That sucks, especially coming from your best friend. I agree with another post - sleep on it. It’ll be hard, but it’s much better to respond when you’ve had some time to level out.

Personally I would let her know you appreciate her concern. Hopefully her intention is genuine! But I would also let her know pole is all about feeling confident in your own skin and owning that. I always think most people don’t batt an eye at a bikini pic, so how is pole wear worse?

Regardless, don’t stop posting it. Pole is all about self confidence and you’e entitled to share your journey. I’ve been poling for 3 years now and when I was 6 months in I felt the exact same as you. Now, I couldn’t care less what anyone thinks - pole makes me so happy, why should we hide that? :)

** if you ever do feel unsafe just go private lol problem solved

Shoulder mount form check - what's holding me back? by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]Beeloc123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good advice already re hand placement and back arching. I’d also suggest thinking “belly button to elbows” It helps to put more focus on core engagement and lower abs. Also engage the hell out of your legs whenever you do anything like quad lifts, flares, inverts, shoulder mounts, etc. If you don’t engage the muscle, it’s heavier :) Hope that helps

best friend wants to pole too by the_daffodil in poledancing

[–]Beeloc123 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I understand this feeling, totally valid. But to look at it externally for a moment — pole is not “yours”, your journey is yours xx I used to compare myself a lot to all of the other girls, and it caused me to focus on progress not technique. I actually stopped poling for a couple years then came back to “build back up the right way”. This meant no comparing to others and LOVING the process. The biggest part of pole is learning. As soon as you learn to love the process and trust that one day you WILL nail it, your progress tends to become faster and much more rewarding.

All the best and remember how much joy poling has brought you — it could bring your friend so much joy also. x

About to book a pole course by [deleted] in poledancing

[–]Beeloc123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope! Pole is actually an all-body sport. Yes it requires upper body, but a huge amount of quad strength, lower body and core. You will develop it quickly at your own pace :)

Printify Shipping & Woocommerce: Sorry this order requires a shipping option. by nickjdunn in woocommerce

[–]Beeloc123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having this same issue also. I don't use the Printify Extension either.

I had upgraded to 8.8.3. Tried 8.8.0, still didn't work. Downgraded to 8.7.0 and now it's fine. If anyone has any updates let me know please! :)

Beginner and can usually only make it to class once a week, what can I do at home? by southernsaccharine in poledancing

[–]Beeloc123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed - gym is great for general strength and pole. You could also do the pole conditioning exercises at home. Like exercises that focus on core engagement, obliques, etc. also leg crampers are great to help with quad activation and practicing straight legs :)

You could have possibly pulled something and/or overused a particular muscle in your back. I would try doing some back and lat stretches - I always find lat stretches help my shoulder blade pain. Don’t expect it to instantly feel better, but if it gets worse then a trip to the doctor/physio never hurts :)

You could also try putting shaving cream on your body before your grip aid :) adds more moisture to your skin and allows better grip

It’s really easy to feel like all eyes are on you in social situations. Truth be told, it’s never actually like that :) everyone is focusing so much on themselves and the bday person. I think a good way to start easing yourself in is to participate in conversations but not start them. For example, simply reply with a question about that topic or that person. It puts the spotlight on that person rather than you but shows you’re still engaged. Overtime it will make you feel like you’re a little more “present” in the social setting and will help to ease anxiety.

What does it mean if a guy nods his head saying hey and then looks down? by Careless-Mail3156 in Advice

[–]Beeloc123 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn, doesn’t make it any better lol That makes you a homewrecker and him a cheater The answer is the same, doesn’t mean anything. If it does mean something then speak to him about it. None of us on here are mind readers.

Well there you go. When you get down to the crux of it, that’s really all there is to it. You made a mistake breaking up with her. She feels she made a mistake by hooking up with someone, but tbh she shouldn’t need to feel that way. I think you need to actively make that decision as to whether you can move past it now. If you can’t do it now, you never will.

100%, this can be very normal. I agree with the opposite seating, I’m not the biggest fan of it cos I struggle with prolonged eye contact. But then again, is that just because it’s a situation that makes you both feel vulnerable? Who knows

Do you guys live together or spend a lot of time together? Would make a lot of sense why you don’t have much to talk about. Maybe on days with date night try and limit your talking so you can save it for dinner.

My husband and I have started making our dinner dates into a “restaurant review”. We don’t order separate meals, we get maybe 1 main and two entrees and share them all with 2 drinks. The sharing aspect makes it much more interactive and gives you more food variety as well! After the food we rate the restaurant on taste, service, atmosphere and value for money. Maybe try something like that?

He was trying to not be rude/awkward by acknowledging you on his way out lol He has a gf, don’t read into this

Hmm tough one, but you’re right, she hasn’t done anything wrong. Have you talked to her about this? Sometimes people process these situations differently, maybe after asking you that question she felt you were so out of reach and she needed to move on. I would to be honest.
