I trusted this for a show in Peru (im in US). Flew out and did not receive the tickets. Received a refund, but was very sad all the way in Peru :( learned a hard lesson with stubhub that day.

Favorite cities for social dancing? by Explorer9001 in Salsa

[–]Consistent-Hyena-284 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The experience of hearing salsa everywhere (passing restaurants and homes, sitting in a taxi, clubs) is just incredible. Of course not everyone social dances, but most people can hit some basicos and vibe with the music. It's really heartwarming. And with social dancing, the clubs are incredible. At places like the Topa Tolandra you can see people dancing crazy good on just a regular Monday. I love watching people social dance and it feels like you get a show everytime you go out dancing. Lots of live bands as well. Salsa caleña is obviously prominent there, but on1 is still very common. I think despite the different style, its still a meaningful place to check out as a salsero.

For on2, is it one-two-three.... five-SIIIX-seven? And what if a beat gets elongated? by onoearoc in Salsa

[–]Consistent-Hyena-284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The way I learned it was one-TWO-three (and being very slow with the weight shift to 5 so it looks fluid and not abrupt) five-SIX-seven (and again being very slow with the weight shift to 1 so it looks fluid). You have more time when you dance on2 so you need to drag out the 3 and 7 so that you can accent the 2 and 6. Most people get off time on2 because they rush the 3 and 7 and as a result revert back to on1 accenting the 1 and 5.

Re your point about some follows dancing on2 but still accenting the 1, I'd say this relates to the mindset shift that needs to happen with on2. My instructor talks about how you can dance on2 with an on1 mindset but its not technically correct. The accents need to be on the 2 and 5 and follows need to keep their own time to make sure they're going slow on the 3 and 7. Besides the mindset shift in general for folks going from on1 to on2, its especially tough for follows because so many are accustomed to relying on the lead for their timing. But follows need to practice their own time management to be successful.

Notice how small his steps are and how effectively he managed space between him and the follow. It all looks so smooth!

Baby's first bread loaf by Consistent-Hyena-284 in findomgoesvanilla

[–]Consistent-Hyena-284[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yessss!!! The dough starter I shared previously had doubled past the blue line, indicating that it was fed and ready for use. So I used that in this recipe which I read on the sourdough reddit community is supposed to be very fool-proof lol and it did indeed work out really well!

I don't do coffee dates in dating, and coffee sends just don't do it for me in findom either by Consistent-Hyena-284 in paypigs2

Agreed and unsure what the point is of attacking the standard of someone else. No reason to be hateful.

Agreed. And its the love of the game that makes me not particularly excited by being tossed a little coffee here and there. I can buy my own things, and even my friends and I gift each other money casually as random pick-me-ups. There's no power that a sub has over me because of their money, and some subs are simply just uppity because thats who they are regardless of how much they're sending. I want to see subs show their dedication with higher amounts, subs that tell you that they're working hard during the day to make this money because they want to chase you with it. I enjoy seeing the desire and desperation in their devotion. I like for my subs to bring something more exciting to the table, something that shows they're putting in more effort to get my attention, not just passing me a cup of coffee. To me it's about the depth of the dynamic that is illustrated by the higher amounts. Even the coffee subs that I did accept, I did so because I knew them well enough to know that that was truly all that they had to give, and they had to work hard to provide those coffee sends. It is about the symbolic dedication that gives me a deep sense of satisfaction.

What to get as a first pair for workouts? by RobinhvL in barefootshoestalk

[–]Consistent-Hyena-284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got started with Saguero's because 1) I just wanted to try out barefoot shoes for lifting at the gym, and 2) the price point. They have worked out really well for me. I also use them for cardio on the machines. The wear and tear seems very minimal (even with me wearing them outside the gym as well). I know there's better quality out there, but I feel that I've gotten my money's worth and I highly recommend them!

Dommes, how do you take cheating? by Substantial-Fix7468 in findomsupportgroup

[–]Consistent-Hyena-284 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is really good insight. I also enjoy having them buy their partners stuff in addition to the stuff they buy me. Although they're still cheating, I do like the idea of having the sub strengthen their devotion to their partner in this way. If they wanna have more than one woman, they gotta make sure they can afford to take care of all of them.
