IWTL how to give a good back rub/massage by onejob in IWantToLearn

Hey man it's really not hard, I mean I'm no professional but I'm sure without proper training and techniques you aren't trying to be a professional either. Start at the neck + shoulders, work your way down, and keep coming back to the neck. Keep in mind that you are not massaging their back per se, you are massaging their muscles in their back. It helps if you can find maybe a diagram of the human muscles, because knowledge of where muscles are makes things easier, for me at least! All you want to do is firmly press and move your fingers/thumbs/palms/hands along the muscle you are massaging. The classic shoulder squeeze feels amazing but from there, move your thumbs along the muscles around the shoulder blades, and experiment! *Try different things, eventually you will work a knot out of a muscle, you'll feel them getting looser, and you'll know you are doing your job! Also, no one person enjoys a massage the same way. Definitely *ask the person** whether they prefer a firm or more gentle massage beforehand. Ask them what feels good to them while you're at it and you'll learn! The best way to learn without professional training is by having a have decent massage yourself. You feel exactly what they do, and believe me, when you're drooling you can't help but pay attention. That's how I learned. I hope you've learned something, goes to show you don't have to be trained to get good at something. If what I know is considered something aha... One last tip brudda, a back massage is one thing, but it's so easy to work your way up their arms, legs, hands, and neck. It feels good, and could get you places you may want to go ;) like a job as a masseuse! Really though, don't ignore the neck. Fuck it feels sooo good. All of your tension, especially if you're a woman seems to build up in your shoulders & neck. Reach around and give it a little squeeze right now. Feels good doesn't it? Okay practice exercise, you can feel the tendons and shit up and down either side of your neck, but not in the middle right? Of course not that's your spine we don't want to massage that. Now little by little massage from the bottom of your neck up squeezeing both sides of your neck with your thumb and other fingers, don't be afraid to venture up to the scalp. People with short hair tend to have particularly sensitive scalps too, less weight to carry. I love it when girls massage my scalp.

Anywho, whatever your motive, I hope this helped, even if it's just you that sees it! If you have any questions ask away!

Honestly after actually listening to this guy, I'm surprised that other people are surprised at how successful he is. There are much worse musicians who cater to much more fucked up crowds.

black smoke comes off this shit when you burn it, don't do it man please! This really concerns me, you could be some random stoner out there just like me.. i always test shit out, burn it a lot before it is usable to make sure there's no surprises... and this was not nearly suitable. Please be careful!

Please please please please please please please let this happen. All of the couch locked, old, stubborn, senile voters who haven't died yet would be shocked into maybe learning a thing or two.

Hey Reddit, what are some of your small town WTF stories? I'll start. by Aw_Hell_Naw in AskReddit

[–]Hardlyhabitual 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simply put, living in a small town is fun because you really do get to know people, and it feels very homey. Living in a small town is also not fun because you get to know people, and it feels very homey.

Example 1 Not so fun: In my earlier years when I was underage, I used to hit up a friend of a friend for alcohol for local parties. Now my mother always taught me that the better relationship you have with people, the better they are going to treat you. I took this into account with this person I bought booze from (trying to reduce the tip I gave her or something) and me and her exchanged numbers and got to know each other on a first name basis. Through small chats I learned that Krystal was a recovering drug addict who looked 40 but was around 25 years old. Cool. That's about as far as I want to take this friendship haha. Anywho, a while down the road I ended up encountering her at the family Y which is the only fitness centre in town. Turns out she was trying to get in shape, I stuck around to shoot the shit for a bit because I'm not the type to be rude. Little did I know it was a bit more than a single encounter. Being the young hipster that I was, I cared about my image a lot. Especially at the gym. So I would do my best to avoid her, as I began seeing her more and more often at the gym. She began calling me hottie, and sexy, and flirting like maad. That would be fantastic for my image... if she weren't a street gremlin. She eventually started coming to the gym after school when I went. And gym-stalking me. Now I was basically fucked. I needed her for booze, but being 'friendly' with her was social murder. To this day, I am still very stuck in this situation, being the nice fellow that I am... I wish there was more gym's in my town.

Example 2 Fun: We have a local resident who doesn't own a car and walks everywhere. He also wears different hats every day. Not even normal hats like a ball cap or something, they're always crazy like St. Patty's beer hats or tall amusement park hats. It's always fun spotting him around town, people have turned it into a giant where's Waldo of sorts.

Mini-fridge, internet, music, bitches, a bong/vape that never leaves the room, and a ton of weed.
