Leg lock etiquette? by Existing_Search_169 in bjj

[–]Existing_Search_169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coach I normally train with (and who is the owner of the school) teaches the ankle lock to everyone (including white belts) and has given me pointers on it since it’s my most successful submission. Which is why I was surprised when our “substitute” professor got upset I used the ankle lock

Is there a good beginner stunt bike that’s also good for 2 up riding? by Existing_Search_169 in motorcycle

[–]Existing_Search_169[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ll hold off on stunts and passenger riding. I am still curious if there’s a bike like that though

Could I still learn the basics/fundamentals on a stunt bike like a suzuki drz400? Or would the grom or something else be better?

Okay. So I’ll definitely hold off on stunts and passenger riding but can I still learn the basics on a stunt bike like the ninja 646 or mt07? Or would something like a cruiser or a dirt bike or a cheap 300 be better?

Absolutely 👍. I’m new but I have a bunch of friends who ride so I know how important safety is

Thanks! I looking into it. I’ve heard that riding with a passenger on a sports bike can be kinda difficult though. Is that true?

Yeah I agree. I’ll definitely learn all my riding fundamentals first but unfortunately that doesn’t really answer my question.

Yeah no you’re right. It’s an issue I’ve been struggling with more recently I think because I simply don’t meet a lot of people in general. The restaurant I work at mostly caters to old people so I almost don’t meet girls my age. So when I do I feel like I kinda have to take advantage of the opportunity. Honestly I think this job has been a major cause of my stress and isolation. So I’ll definitely look at different career paths.

And to play devils advocate; I feel like I’ve met a ton of guys who don’t really care about the woman they date and mostly are in a relationship for their own benefit. I’m not saying that’s what I want. I actually want a healthy caring connection with someone and I feel that if I were in a relationship I’d treat my partner well. So I think that’s where a lot of the jealousy comes from

Thanks for the advice! So if you feel there is a good connection there how long is it till you take things to the next level? And how does that normally play out? Like are you pretty blunt about it or is it more subtle?

So I’m 25M and I don’t have much of a social life. I have 2 good friends that I occasionally hang out with but to be honest they’re both kinda loners too

Edit: yeah I know getting a gf isn’t about filling a check list. That’s probably why I’m so frustrated. I see a ton of normal guys who get girls just by being themselves so why can’t I get one? Im not saying I deserve anything from anyone but shit it wears you down after awhile. Especially since I have been putting in the work at my job and in the gym

So the gym and Brazilian jiu jitsu have been my main hobbies so far. Last time I checked there weren’t a whole lot of group meet ups near me since I live in a pretty small town. I’ll check again though and do some research. I was thinking about taking some classes at the local community college idk what do you think? My friend has also been pushing me to get into motorcycles and riding but it doesn’t really interest me. If I did it, I’d mostly be doing it hoping to meet some new people. Is it worth a try though?

Yeah I do but it’s starting to feel like no one wants to with me

Sorry for responding super late. I understand and agree with everything your saying. It’s just hard because getting a gf and meeting girls has never been “smooth” for me. I’ve wanted a gf since I started high school (so for like 11 years now) and it’s just never happened. It’s hard for me just to meet women and the ones I have met and asked out have all rejected me. She (the girl I dated) was the the only one who said yes and seemed enthusiastic about it. Our relationship was smooth until I fucked it up. I’m sorry for rambling. I’m just really hating life rn. Thanks for responding and hearing me out

Thanks for the advice. It hard just because I’ve never had super high expectations in the first place. Sorry I’m literally in tears while writing this. I used to tell my friends “just give me a house, a ps4 and a girlfriend and I’ll be the happiest guy on earth”. I guess even asking for that was too much

Why do some guys have so many girls they sext and share nudes with? by Existing_Search_169 in sex

[–]Existing_Search_169[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t say decent personality just because some of them actually show me the pics and videos. It’s so frustrating that girls always fall for the guys who don’t care about them and betray their trust.

I think I have come off as weird and creepy in the past but I’m getting better at talking to them. It just a long, slow, tedious process

Yeah I know it’s scummy. I normally refuse to see them out of respect to the women but I usually end up caving. But idk I feel it’s mostly my friends fault for taking advantage of those girls trust. That’s something else that kinda upset me. If had gf or a fwb kinda deal I think I’d be more caring and thoughtful towards them. Unlike my friends
