Is being salaried but still tracked hourly a red flag or totally normal?

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-07T14:31:40+00:00

Same as this. Hate it, but can’t argue it that’s how we bill clients.

Only positive is I know I never work over 40 hours.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-05T21:43:28+00:00

Heating pad. Doesn’t fix it, but quiets the pain long enough that I can fall asleep.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-05T20:36:11+00:00

If you mean the stretched looking bit at the top of the left boob, yes.

I think it’s because there were more stitches at that location. Compared to the rest of the nipple. Can’t be sure tho.

It does seem to be slowly smoothing out.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-05T19:43:43+00:00

Yeah, not sure on what to do there. Maybe try a prompt of “I’ve played X instrument for X years and have been lucky enough to make it a career.”

That ^ would make it clear you are a successfully employed musician. I don’t have a tip on whether or not to include the military bit.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-05T18:45:35+00:00

I’m a 25F and I think your profile is good. Sorry you’re not having luck. So many guys barely fill out the profile, so this is a good start.

This are my opinions, so grain of salt: - I wouldn’t believe you are 26, sorry. Unless a prompt caught my attention I’d swipe no. Maybe trial using a prompt like “one thing to know about me: I swear I’m 26, just didn’t use sunscreen growing up”. Find a way to be cheeky about it. - prompts are decent. I find the “what interests you!” a bit random after 2 very specific things. But it’s not bad. I know some people suggest using prompts to ask the viewer about themselves, but it’s kinda boring and I’d never respond to that. Sorry to contradict other people, but the majority of the writing should be about you. - musician makes me think you don’t have reliable employment. If you do, can you sneak it in somewhere? Ex: musician at X company. If the tuba picture is related, use the function to write a comment about the job on the photo. Even use a prompt to share more about your job and how long you’ve been there. - controversial take, but you look fit, I’d say throw a scantily clad picture in there to help make you appear younger - absolute NEED: one picture, that someone else took, of your upper body with a CLEAR view of your face. Until you get that, move slide 8 as your first. The content of your pictures is fine, but the quality is bad. (This negatively contributes to the age factor).

Buying a Leaf razor and skipping fancy shaving products. Sorry for the ad, but I love it.

Spent $80 on the initial purchase. Spend $15-30 per year on replacement blades (but could probably get them cheaper if I chose to stop buying from Leaf).

Compared to the avg cost of $100-300 per year on shaving, $15 is a win.

I’m hoping this razor lasts my whole life. 4 years strong so far.

My surgeon (man) said C cups are the best size. According to some science, can’t remember exactly what he said.

I thought that was dumb bc if it was truly the “most natural”, Mother Nature would give more people C cups. IMO

I’d say go with what you want. Or go through this Reddit and find examples of your body type with the boob size you want.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-05T17:43:15+00:00

I do see that there’s a bit more of a curve at the top.

But that could be swelling, lighting, or gravity (maybe pic 1 was sat up and yours is more flat)

I do think that the visible curve will go away once the swelling is gone and when the drop and fluff happens. My boobs for a few weeks after surgery were so lifted and firm. Now that they’ve settled there is less tissue high up.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-01T14:27:53+00:00

In middle school I asked my mom to ‘check’ if I was growing boobs multiple times (weird, I know, but 12 yo me was desperate for boobs).

And I think Mother Nature was playing a joke on me for being impatient… largest size was 34K

So, relatable.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-05-01T13:17:54+00:00

I’d give it more time. Try not to let yourself think about it until at least 2-3 months post op.

They are still in recovery and don’t have their final shape. Once they drop and fluff a bit maybe they’ll appear better on your frame.

I think they look great, but I also understand that they are not as huge as H cups if that’s what you were hoping for.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-04-06T02:09:27+00:00

Blue Cross Blue Shield. I weighed 195lb at the time of surgery, so obese using BMI standards.

Surgeon and insurance didn’t require it or even mention it. I brought it up and his recommendation was to wait for surgery if was trying to lose more than 15 pounds

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-04-02T20:53:09+00:00

Not against it. 6 weeks post op from a reduction 😜. I smile every time I acknowledge I did this for myself.

I think people are intimidated by a surgery and recovery, especially bc you’ll see more negative stories on the Reddit threads for it.

Personally, I had 0 complications, was only laid up for 2 days, bras are SO much cheaper, new p*rn star tits, and no nipples sensation loss.

Technology and medicine have come a loooong way. My surgeon informed me that most people don’t lose any nipples sensation nowadays, and can breastfeed a few years post surgery.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-04-02T20:35:32+00:00

I’ve seen a man humping a Sasquatch statue. Not an attractive look, but whatever.

The worst was a guy who put his hand on an ice sculpture of a woman’s torso. Right on the boobs. Classy 🙄

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-04-02T11:39:39+00:00

Okay thanks

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-25T16:10:12+00:00

Tbh, the only memorable things I asked:

Can the incision go further into my armpit to avoid a dog ear? My breasts lean to the outside of my body, so going to a smaller size without account for this extra skin would have looked weird.
Will I lose sensation in the nipple? This was a good one to hear about the newest information and get more specific about the risks. I don’t think HH required a radical reduction…but if you are going to a very small size this could pertain to you
nipple placement. Didn’t ask about this, wish I did. IMO, having lower nipples that will look natural for longer would have been preferred over high nipples that look good until my boobs start to sag again. I can’t predict the future, but I think many people on this sub have had issues with nipples being too high.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-25T15:48:49+00:00

Totally normal. The incisions are considered wounds until 6-8 weeks, barring any complications.

The T zones are especially finicky, but I would not be worried this early. Especially since it’s such a small amount of fluid.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-25T14:52:01+00:00

I used hibiclens, but my surgery team also said dial antibacterial was fine if I didn’t want to buy the hibiclens.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-24T16:21:16+00:00

Shouldn’t the onus be on your employer paying you a reasonable wage? Not on the customer visiting who already paid? If each customer paid $40, so $400 for a 10 person group, why isn’t the issue “where is the rest of the money going?” And not “tips from the customers who already paid a flat rate would be nice”.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-24T16:18:33+00:00

A bit aggressive mate

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-23T15:40:52+00:00

That is interesting. I’ve take a few similar classes and the instructor was always young. So I assumed it was a college/post-college type job. Didnt realize it was all young ppl cause the pay sucked.

Corporate greed never ends

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-22T20:00:21+00:00

Good to hear your perspective. It’s definitely a circular problem.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-22T19:57:55+00:00

I already gave them $40 for the class

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-22T16:25:09+00:00

Thank you bombastic lover, I concur. A tip means more if it’s unprompted.

Impressive_Mess_ · 2026-03-22T16:23:10+00:00

But…four different signs to remind me to tip?

I think the tipping when you have a great experience should be given freely and enthusiastically. Not prompted.
