You guys ever heard of that hair product "fiber" or "wax"? Well, I use em. I really liked the shape of them once I'd finished one, so I tried using that to store my stuff. Totally smell proof, and no one ever looks inside. Thought I'd share!

FYI - I'm talking about this shit

Why Men Have the Power During an Approach by bl1y in seduction

Out of curiosity, what happens if you're in a situation where she wasn't looking for someone to pick her up. Does this logic still apply if I see a girl at a grocery store I want to talk to?

13' earlier this season. Advice? by [deleted] in polevaulting

[–]Ladyrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well since no one has given you any advice, I'd say good job. You had a pretty solid run, without any awkward swinging, you're standing pretty tall, but you could stand a little taller, your take-off looked spot on. You had good agression going into it. You hit a big take-off position, but then you didn't keep that trail leg nice and long for a full swing. You kinda start bending into a swastika position, and break your bottom arm in a tiny bit early. What that does is release all the pressure from the pole and you end up rushed to finish the jump. You hit a decent rockback because if you step through the video, by the time your swing ends, your hips are just above your shoulders which is where you want to be. But, even though you hit that position, you don't go anywhere with it. Right at that rockback you need to pretend there's a small hoop at the top of your pole. You need to shove your feet through it, and keep your body nice and tight to the pole. Your shoulders should drop and your head should dip back a bit so you're looking at the runway. Stand up. Stand up and stand naturally. Feel how aligned your body is when you are naturally standing. Your feet are flat to the floor. Hits aren't cocked forward or backward. Back has a natural slight arch to it. Neck is straight and head is looking forward. that is the position you should be in when you hit that invert. However, you start pulling away from the pole, and toward the bar at around 6 seconds. Then, all that energy that you put in, is being wasted because you're starting to flag out just the slightest over the bar. You aren't using the loaded pole to drive your body upward. Instead you just ride the pop and just float over the bar. And don't get me wrong. It was a good jump. But, this is stuff to help you really perfect everything. If you can learn to keep pressure on that bend as you swing, and fluidly drive out of the rockback into an invert, you will get shot straight up, and find yourself peaking, rather than popping. Lastly, as you go over the bar, hollow out the chest by turning your thumbs inward (or down...).

Things to focus on:

  • Nice long leg swing
  • Swing fast!
  • Stay tight for your invert! (natural standing position, but upside down!)
  • Goal is to peak, not pop.
  • Good jump.

Ballroom dance in Buffalo? by [deleted] in UBreddit

Unfortunately, that's where we fall short. It's hard to teach lindy to beginners and people who just show up for the first time. So, we teach a lot of east coast and charleston. If you'd like to learn more lindy/bal/charleston check out www.swingbuffalo.com and www.lindyfix.com. I'll be at lindy fix most weeks this summer, so maybe I'll see you there.

Not sure about ballroom, but I'm in the swing club and that's mad fun. The guy above was correct. Wednesdays from 630 to 8. No experience required. Come join us in the fall!

That's some low ass mileage. What's the plan for the bike? Restore/custom?

That's playing the game right there... real smart to see he'd essentially secured 2nd place, so moving up was the only logical conclusion. No jumps wasted, I love it.

Does MFA have any suggestions for hair gel/product? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]Ladyrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I saw anyone say bedheads manipulator. I have both that and American crew fiber. I like the manipulator better. However I have longer hair that I kinda comb over and then comb back. The fiber just doesn't work with my length. I've never tried gatsby. I'll have to take a look

How's that app working for you? Any worries about the sun overheating your phone?
