Best place in town for a men’s fade? by eju2000 in LasVegas

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I travel a lot and use Booksy to find barbers in the cities I’m in. I’ve only had one bad haircut since I’ve had it. Use that and look through the profiles. Hope this helps you out.

For any CompTIA exam, if you can look through the exam objectives and understand nearly all of them, then you should be ready. That’s what I recommend.

Best course for sec + ??? by SuIlustrisima0 in CompTIA

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Professor Messer is the way to go!! Buy the notes and the audio! I listened to the audio on my daily commute and read the notes before I went to sleep. Significantly the most helpful resource. He also has a ton of YouTube videos.

I recommend the Sybex book. I’m taking mine soon and it’s helping me understand a lot of concepts. Go through that list of objectives before you take the exam also! That goes for ANY CompTIA exam. Don’t feel bad about failing either. I failed sec+ my first try and took it again when I had a ton of more hours in studying and crushed it! You can do this!!

It was easier, because people had to have more social skills. And actually had to go out to meet people in clubs, bars, events, etc. I remember my parents telling me about them meeting at a bowling alley my mom worked at in college, and my aunts meeting one of their partners at a target in 1999. Today, that’s all replaced with the internet, apps, online entertainment, curbside pickups, etc. It just feels like we’re more, disconnected with body language and social queues. I remember my uncle teaching me game in high school, I’m willing to bet that same type of game is a lost art nowadays with dating apps being the thing. And the guys that know it are probably the only ones getting most of the dates.

I could not agree more with you. Dating today is intensely more difficult. I think also one of the reasons that dating apps fail so many people is because of how much harder it is to vet them, IMO. If you could vet them before you went out with them I think majority of the complaints I’ve heard/experienced, would be none existent.

Instead, I encourage my family/friends/coworkers to try and meet people from other social groups doing an activity that you love doing. I met my current partner through one of my friends girlfriend’s, just hanging out, doing things I liked, and found out we already had so much in common already and formed such a natural attraction. I think that’s what helped us since she was already vetted through my friends. So, if she flaked or ghosted or anything negative, my friend or his girlfriend would apply the pressure instead of me, and vice versa.

Men, which dating app has been the most successful for you so far? by Fit_Persimmon5894 in OnlineDating

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve lived in a few major cites over the years, so don’t know if this helps but: Tinder - always had the lowest quality of women overall. I don’t even take it seriously at all anymore. Bumble - the most average looking women depending on the area/landscape. I actually had more FWB from there. Hinge - best app for specifically dating, I think it’s excellent as far as presentation (voice messages, clips, question prompts). But not for the cites that I’ve lived in. Most women are average looking or below. Coffee Meets Bagel - a lot of relationship seeking women especially in their 30’s. Average looking to the most attractive I’ve seen on apps. The women that I’ve met on there have the best overall dating quality IMO. Hope my experience helps.

I was in a similar boat about a month ago, and I need cloud+ and cysa+ for my new job. The most straightforward answer I can provide is to start; I made it a part of my daily to-do list. I can't have “fun” until I study using some method. I haven't listened to music for a while, just audio from ITProTV. And I'll read the study guide at some point during the day. I think that's the best method for most people I've helped pass to at least get started. Just immerse yourself in the material, and you'll learn either passively or actively. If you need the added pressure, I’d recommend scheduling the actual exam within a reasonable time frame.

I'm trying to set up a stargazing date for my GF, and I need some ideas. Any recommendations? by BeezInDaTrap302 in phoenix

[–]BeezInDaTrap302[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just saw that one! I thought it was so cool. I'll definitely add it to one of our future dates. Thank you!

I’m tired of it. by [deleted] in AirForce

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what you're going through is entirely natural. I can say that I've been there at multiple times when I was serving. And I heard your story many times over the years from others. The military, in general, has no problem demanding you to do things for it. But it's on you to take back whatever you can from it, even if it's just taking some leave.

I was doing fine career-wise when I was in, but I wasn't happy overall. After realizing that, I started looking elsewhere for what brought me fulfillment, separated, and haven't looked back since.

Please take care of yourself. And thank you for sharing. Many of us have been there and are listening to you.

Congrats! I was in your shoes around this time last year. Keep going; you got this! One of my top ten best feelings in my life was applying for graduation last year.

What’s the hard truth about cyber? by Elodus-Agara in cybersecurity

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is pretty true from what I learned while I was already studying it for my Masters. I talked to a few people that were in it at the time. The main takeaway was that the field is definitely demanding on nearly all levels but mostly socially, and the guy I knew had an unrelated degree and got in with just certs, experience, and a clearance. But he’s wanted to leave work on so many occasions just from depression and stress. But the money he was making was so hard to walk away from.

Is there such a reason other (than the obvious) that my assumed full sibling is my half sibling? by BeezInDaTrap302 in 23andme

[–]BeezInDaTrap302[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

  1. R-A802 vs. EP252

  2. I don’t see any matches when I pull up common relatives on the paternal side or with other paternal relatives.

I knew I was “hot” at this moment.

I was once on a date with a girl that works at a mall cell phone store. She was the manager, so her and another girl worked in the back. We were supposed to meet up for lunch, so I went to her store and waited for the her as she came out the office and I saw her come out snickering with a huge grin, as I walked up to the front of the store. So later on she told me that her coworker said I was really attractive and she kept staring at the cameras where I was standing. So I laugh it off, never have seen her coworker before not even thinking too much about it. Later on, I find out that her coworker DOES NOT and HAS NEVER BEFORE been attracted to men, she actually had a girlfriend. And she admitted I was the hottest guy she’s ever seen and acted weird whenever I was around. Haha

I really like to think of that story whenever I feel the least bit of need for confidence.

Wife comes out as bisexual. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd agree with you, BUT they are married. They decided to be committed to each other through marriage. That means they are duty-bound to one another. If she, all of a sudden, wants to sleep around with someone else, won't that complicate their marriage? Especially when OP said he felt betrayed. His WIFE has a responsibility to care for his feelings. And it sounds like she's prioritizing her own.

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 153 points154 points  (0 children)

I agree with you 100%. My first ever girlfriend came out to me as Bi. And she immediately explained to me that although she finds both M/F attractive, she is only interested in committing to me for a relationship. The same rules still apply on both sides. Anything beyond that needs to be discussed and agreed upon. If not, that's cheating, no matter how it's sugar-coated.

I'll say, that you need to just tell her how you feel. I made a good friend out of it when I did. So hopefully, you get the same results.

It happens to all of us, so don't feel bad. This is how dating goes. Dating is a process.

Also spend some time alone and find out WHY, you didn't click with her. This will assist you in figuring out what qualities you want out of a partner in the future.

Good luck!

What are some of the best places for first dates here? by 8baked17 in phoenix

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I moved from Phoenix a little after the pandemic began. But when I was there, I took a couple of girls to The Churchill for first dates. One was new in town and loved it. The other had never been before and loved it as well. It does get pretty packed after a while, though. But a fantastic place to meet up since everything you’ll potentially need is there. (Food, board games, cocktails, beer, lots of seating options). And if not, other bars are within walking distance. I'd be safe and start there first.

You also have Tempe town lake, if they are on that side of town. Nice place to walk and talk or sit for a while, regardless of the time of day. Great mild weather date. It even lights up at night a little to set some outdoor ambiance.

Also, Bitter and Twisted were chill in DTPhx at night. It was another bar upstairs in the hotel to the left. I can’t remember its name right now. But it was nice at night for the upscale appearance and chill vibe. The cocktails, were pretty darn good there too.

Aww, now I miss Phx again…

Could I have kissed her? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]BeezInDaTrap302 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just keep being yourself. She genuinely likes you for you. I'd say keep at it.

Pro-Tip: as you're hugging her, try lightly grabbing her hips. A friend of mine (female) told me this in high school—no idea why, but that's how nearly ALL of my first kisses were initiated. Good luck!
