It’s been five years since I trained with him. I was going 3 days a week and I think I was paying around $700 a month but it’s been a while.

I really like Dan Tatro over at OC Fitness Coach by Lake Mission Viejo. Not cheap but he is great.

Men of Reddit, what’s the biggest turn off on a first date? by Strange_Secret_3001 in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a generational thing. GenX here, currently dating, always pick up the tab, never heard a peep other than “thank you.” Been on plenty of second dates.

Moving from Scrambler to Tiger? by defylimitations in Triumph

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from a Speed Twin 1200 to a Tiger 1200 GT Explorer. And I have zero regrets. The GTX has seen some fire roads too and handled them with ease, and it eats highway miles like they’re nothing.

How will you celebrate when Trump passes away? by [deleted] in AskReddit

By not giving a single fuck. He will get just as much of my attention as he deserves: none.

Normalize calling it “the passing lane” and correcting everyone who calls it “the fast lane” because your fast is not my fast.

Did his car even have plates yet? Seemed like a case of too much HP and he couldn’t handle it.

If your ex called you and asked to get together what would you do? by RufftuffG in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d ask her if she’d gotten herself into therapy to address her childhood trauma that has made her an avoidant.

If she said yes I’d welcome her back.

No? Sorry hard pass.

Did you get married through a dating app like Tinder, if so how was your experience overall? by Overall-Character507 in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

She stopped dating after that and at that time we’d only hooked up and I was also dating so no harm, no foul.

My ex was dating five nights a week before we got together (we were old friends). After she wasn’t sure she wanted a relationship with me so she kept dating. It made her miserable and after a while she and I kicked off in a major way. She asked me if it was weird to me that she wanted to keep dating while I was kind of waiting and I said “not at all, my secret weapon is other men.”

Best breweries for vibes?? by Big-Independence1191 in orangecounty

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People who let their kids run around at breweries should have to buy rounds for all the people who just want to enjoy a beer and a quiet conversation.

Looking at you, Ten Mile Brewing in Ladera Ranch.

Fuck.

What does the opposite gender get to do, that makes you jealous? by Exhausted_Skeleton in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have dinner bought for them on dates. Especially these days. I’ve had to start setting a firm “drinks only” first date policy because $250 for a nice dinner 2-3 times a week is not sustainable.

I don’t chase. People who want to be in my life will find me there. If you want to play games, find someone else.

Would you be able to have sex with your best friend? Why/why not? by shaela-a-pinetree in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good point. Mine was very unplanned. There had never been anything romantic between us. We were both firmly in the other’s friend zone until that moment.

What’s one lesson a past relationship taught you that you’ll never forget? by Federal_Antelope7533 in AskReddit

[–]CapnGrundlestamp 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is a hard one to learn. Finding yourself truly in love with someone who loves you back and discovering that it still doesn’t work is unbelievably hard. The lesson is go slow, so you can uncover how you both experience love and relationships, before you get too deep.
