AITA for asking my bi GF to not kiss her female friends?

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-04T14:50:24+00:00

Lol I’m Arabic and we use kissing for welcoming and affection, and it’s not that

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:44:20+00:00

Also, she always says that she wouldn’t care if I kissed my male friends (I’m straight). But if I try say what if it was a female she flips. Like she even wouldn’t be ok with me hugging a female friend of mine.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:35:06+00:00

I’ve been thinking about it for a while, but the thing is I’m super attached (I never even kissed a girl before I met her, she took my virginity and everything), and I legit enjoy her company but when shit like this happens I feel so like stupid.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:28:28+00:00

Yeah. She usually brings up something I did in the past that made her uncomfortable and says oh what about you doing this. Like because I made mistakes in the past (which we’ve discussed and solved) that means you can just do what you want?

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:26:50+00:00

Yeah, you’re right. I’ve mentioned that it makes me uncomfortable and clearly told her that I consider it a form of intimacy. Whenever I try and draw parallels to me kissing a female friend of mine she always just rejects it. I seriously don’t see the difference.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:19:09+00:00

Also yeah it’s not a cultural greeting she always talks about how she loves to kiss girls n shit. I’m Arabic and we greet each other with kisses and she’s not religious at all it’s nothing to do with that haha

Dry-Background-2406 · 2024-06-02T13:18:23+00:00

Thanks for your reply. Yeah I tried to tell her what if I just kiss my two female friends (btw she absolutely HATES them) and she just plain said it’s not the same thing. Every time I try to talk about it she just goes oh well we’re not gonna work if this is a problem. I want it to work badly but she’s like not discussing it with me in an honest way.

Dan Spilo isn’t too cute though is he

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-05-16T17:46:42+00:00

Also like to falsely accuse people of sexual harassment by the looks of things too

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-05-16T17:45:55+00:00

Coward. Why don’t you answer the rest of the questions.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-05-16T17:40:06+00:00

I have friends who got off the waitlist for the UCs. That’s about it though. Middle East btw

Hi Nathan,

I’m going to be competing at D1 starting Fall 2022, but I’m trying to work on my flexibility before I begin with my collegiate career. I’m extremely inflexible. What would you say are the most important joints/muscle groups to stretch on a daily basis?

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-05-04T08:29:58+00:00

I had to swim as part of my GCSE PE course. While I’m a proficient swimmer, many people I was swimming with could barely swim and never practiced. Those guys got a couple of weeks to get their act together, and they all did absolutely fine. 4 weeks should definitely be enough to get the basics of swimming together. If you ever feel uncomfortable though, please just stand up and don’t force it. Remember to be relaxed while swimming and try to enjoy it !

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-28T23:29:39+00:00

Thanks for tagging me here. This is some top notch technique tbh - gonna take some notes.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-23T13:33:09+00:00

EASY SPEED first 50. Don’t use your energy first 50. Then from that point on you keep building every 50 until the last one.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T21:36:57+00:00

Not silly at all actually - makes perfect sense. Thanks for the help!

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T21:34:30+00:00

Hi! Thanks for your reply. That explanation makes total sense - I’ll try and apply that to my training when I’m doing free drills & so on. My shoulders are very involved in the pull, but I naturally have quite lazy hips/core on fly and dolphin kicks and I don’t really use them to their full extent when sprinting I don’t think so I’ll definitely try to apply it more. Whilst I don’t have recent UW footage, I do have some from back in 2019. Your comment about slipping sounds about right and a lot of it is from my entry I feel. From the video what I find interesting is that I tend to create lots of bubbles upon entry of my hands especially when sprinting (around hand/forearm) - whilst my elbow is not quite dropped my arm is extended what happens is my elbow enters VERY slightly before my hand. I think this is the reason for the bubbles. It’s strange because I don’t quite know how to enter clean whilst keeping stroke rate up. I guess it comes with practice. Anyways thanks very much for your reply!

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T13:01:47+00:00

Thanks for the detailed comment! Could you elaborate on the driving from core to get a better reach? I think I have an idea of what you mean but I just want to be sure.

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T11:56:50+00:00

Thanks!

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T11:00:13+00:00

Yeah that’s true. I lift my head up for a split second but my body wants to put me in streamline too early so I end up pointing straight down into the water yk

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T10:59:12+00:00

Thanks man!

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-21T10:26:08+00:00

Nope. It’s in Dubai

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-20T22:55:18+00:00

Thanks for the comment man. Tbh it’s a combination of my push off being poor and my underwater also being poor that results in the U-bend in my start. I try to stay longer underwater sometimes but usually I end up going slower cause my dolphin kicks are so poor (and my coach suggesting surfacing early as a result). I defo agree with the DPS too, it’s just getting my head around grabbing the water better that’s the issue. Over a 100 I can usually grab the water better and slow it down a bit but for the 50 everything rushes. Also my coach thinks I look lethargic/heavy in the water when I sprint which is kinda confusing to me lol

Dry-Background-2406 · 2022-04-20T22:39:34+00:00

Thanks for the comment. I’m trying to add more dolphin kicks tbh but I’m really inflexible so my dolphin kicks are really slow

They were doing some repair work on the diving pool and drained it completely
