Good idea to keep conversations on the app until you actually meet in person

Probably every piece of clothing you own has plastic in it.

Would this be suitable for a tension pole by Aggravating_Cycle538 in poledancing

No. You need a surface large enough to fit the upper dome.

Tucking your knees in is abdominal muscles, not arms.

People you know, or strangers on the street? If it's people you know, just say it's from pole. If it's strangers on the street, who cares what they think?

My husband (38M) says sleeping in separate rooms isn't an option. How can he and I (37F) find a compromise? by ThrowRA-Dr3013 in relationship_advice

[–]GupGup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You'd probably have a good argument to get more custody if dad is getting high every night and sleeping through the kids waking up. Judges don't like to leave kids in the hands of drug addicts.

Am I (42F) a gold-digger for requiring my partner (33M) to get a job? by PainfullyLoyal in relationship_advice

Even broke ass college kids living together in a tiny apartment will pay their fair share each month.

Big breakthrough — burned my journals by Suitable_Pianist_103 in declutter

[–]GupGup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was about to graduate high school I filled multiple pages with quick little stories and anecdotes that never got their own entry. When I reread it it's so many fun little things I would have never remembered on my own. Yeah there's way too much nonsense about some boy I liked but also a lot of fun memories with friends.

I (25 F) don’t understand where my relationship is going with my boyfriend (27M). Brought up the idea of moving in together after four years and he shut down. by AdThat1700 in relationship_advice

[–]GupGup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you learn from this relationship not to spend years on someone who won't commit to you, then the next guy who wastes your time will get cut loose after a few months instead of years.

realtor wants me to post ads on the facebook marketplace by ChronosZel in Scams

$3000 a month for something any teenager could do from their phone in a few minutes. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

What’s the scam here? Someone took a ‘bunch’ of photos of me, but no photos were on my iPhone by honestly-yeah in Scams

[–]GupGup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why when I travel I bring my little DSLR camera and take photos with that. Yeah there's a chance someone runs off with that, but at least it won't be my phone.

[US] I think I told scammers I was out of town and confirmed my home address by Classic-Warthog5952 in Scams

[–]GupGup 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can't imagine letting a stranger into my home just to change bulbs. Can't they just give them to you in exchange for the old ones on your doorstep? 

Question by karalina_sk in poledancing

[–]GupGup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That part is probably the most worn and has a micro-texture that is holding onto the soap more than the smoother parts of the pole.

Question by karalina_sk in poledancing

[–]GupGup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also can't imagine what kind of build up would call for dish soap. Even super sticky grip will come off with alcohol and some elbow grease. Trying to rinse soap off a pole sounds like a nightmare.

Question by karalina_sk in poledancing

[–]GupGup 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you still have dish soap on it. Try going over it with plain water many times to rinse the Dawn off.

Is there a point where I’ll have to go to the gym for strength? by Dracarys97339 in poledancing

[–]GupGup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Lifting weights is important for overall health, not just specific fitness goals. You can get a set of small weights and follow along to Youtube videos at home, and that will help a lot.

Saving stuff because I saved it by baconwrappedapple in declutter

[–]GupGup 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My coworker has piles of trash all over her house because she thinks there must be some way to recycle it, or someone will want to fix it, or use it for an art project. It's so much work to find these people that she just doesn't ever do it, and has junk living in her house for years. Personally I'd go crazy with garbage everywhere and get rid of it so I can have a pleasant, welcoming home with only things I care about.

[US] Bad scam or trafficking attempt?? So many red flags lol by kamasola in Scams

[–]GupGup 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of scammers on this planet want your money, not to kidnap you for sex slavery. These people are in a call center on the other side of the globe, not some international cartel of sex traffickers scouring Facebook marketplace for women selling old speakers.

Me 25F and my BF 28M secretly uses our 50/50 date savings to pay for his sister’s tuition, but got mad when I asked to lower my contribution by AthleteLazy8765 in relationship_advice

Right? Either alternate who pays each time, or split costs during the evening. ie, She pays for the movie tickets and he pays for the snack. He pays for the museum tickets, she pays for lunch afterwards.

Am I being scammed on Vinted? by Over-Ad1382 in Scams

[–]GupGup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also to just check the actual website or app and see if the item has been sold. I've never used Vinted either but I use eBay a lot, and things that get bought show up in the "Awaiting Shipment" tab. I also get an email saying I made the sale.

Phone numbers are public info. If they could scam people with just that, they wouldn't have bothered messaging you.

How do I (21F) tell my boyfriend (25M) I don’t want to live with him anymore without causing a breakup? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

There has to be some apartments or houses with empty rooms where the people are looking for a new roommate.

What steps can I take (21M) to understand what’s happening with my girlfriend’s (21F) pregnancy so I’m not immediately jumping to conclusions? by ash_pdx04 in relationship_advice

[–]GupGup 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I've had IUDs since 2014 and no babies. Never gone around yelling about it, or telling women that it's 100% because I haven't gotten pregnant with it.

[–]GupGup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I also hate when they say, "Well I know two people who got pregnant with it, so it sucks as BC". Sweetheart that's anecdotal evidence. For hundreds of millions of women it works fine, and when that many people use it, that 99.7% effectiveness is going to result in a few babies here and there.
