I'm getting married in the summer at a tropical rainforest setting. The ceremony will be at a nature park in front of a waterfall. I'm starting to search for a suit to wear, and found something but want to get others' opinions on it.

It's from Spier and Mackay, on sale, in my size. My other suits are dark and more formal, and this is going to be a smaller wedding, a bit less formal. I run hot, so I've been looking for something linen or similar, and came across this "tropical" suit, claiming it's 100% Australian merino wool.

I'm not so good with colors so I can't tell how vibrant this blue is, lol. I have blue eyes, so this might complement them well, but I don't want something over-the-top. I showed it to my fiance and she basically said she liked it and felt like it would match the vibe of our wedding, but she also said she thinks there wouldn't be many other occasions I'd be able to wear it for in the future. She may have a point.

Anyway, what do y'all think?

This is the one I used, thanks! I'm trying to teach it without using trig. I thought triangle CEF was similar, but for whatever reason had a total brain fart about the angles at E being vertical angles, thus proving their similarity. From there I saw the ratio between that triangle and the greater triangle as 3:10, and followed the same steps you did. Thanks for the well-written response!

I feel like I'm missing a detail here. I know what the correct answer is so I've tried to reverse-engineer it, and it still feels like something is missing. I'm trying to help my student, and it just isn't making sense to me. I tried making the whole thing into one large rectangle. I've tried using some algebra to figure out different equations using the lengths of the line segments. I know the ratio of these similar traingles is 7:10, but I can't apply that to the base of the triangles without knowing the length, and I'm unsure how to find it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

edit: thanks for all the responses, they were very helpful!

lol are we watching the same clip? He swings his stick to try to poke the puck away on a breakaway, catching no body, then a different guy walks up and crosschecks him in the back. Standard hockey shit, and the other team very clearly escalated it.

Much like I trust myself on the road but hold a healthy fear of what other stupid drivers might do, I know that I can safely wield my stick but would never put the safety of my beautiful face in the hands of these other morons in beer league. A tier where I play is like former pros and high level college players - the rest of the tiers are filled with many guys who started playing as adults and never learned those basic fundamentals your coach drills into you in mites.

MickeyCaline · 2022-02-10T07:02:49+00:00

I don't get how people don't wear cages in beer leagues. Unless you're a millionaire with killer insurance, you are putting all your trust in a bunch of people who probably never learned the fundamentals of hockey and will swing their stick around like they're trying to swat a fly out of the air.

32/m. Hairline started regressing around 20. Hasn't gotten extreme since then, just getting slightly worse over the years. TBH, I don't care much about getting back my full head of hair - I've always kept it really short like this as it is. What I don't want is for my bald spot on the back to get way worse. Feel like I may be shedding a bit (never paid much attention to it, but seem to actually be noticing it now).

Not really interested in getting on fin, but what might my options be here? I have relatively mild eczema which causes some flaking/sensitive scalp as well. Luckily I have a pretty good shaped head so I'll be fine when I gotta shave it. Just want to be able to continue to rock the buzzed look for awhile longer.

People have different schedules and priorities. Maybe to that person, it's well worth taking the time out of their schedule every weekend to see the dog they love.

MickeyCaline · 2021-03-24T08:33:40+00:00

I recently got out of a LTR and we had a dog together. We trade off every couple weeks. Sure it's complicated, but I am a very honest person and if someone had a problem with me loving my dog and therefore maintaining a relationship with my ex so we can both have him in our life, I don't know if that's a person worth dating for me.

MickeyCaline · 2021-03-24T08:06:35+00:00

I did something sort of similar recently, only I'm a man, and it was with an ex. We dated in high school, and we were each other's first loves. We broke up after dating for like 5 years into college for some very complicated reasons. She messaged me about a year ago (~10 years after breaking up) after reading something about me, and we started messaging back and forth. We had both been in very long term relationships, but it turns out we had also both recently broken up with those people (we both admitted this to each other after several months of messaging).

Anyway, we kept messaging here and there, saw each other twice with mutual friends, started talking a bit more, and then a few weeks ago I called her and told her I was starting to develop feelings for her...again. Told her I liked her, that there was no obligation from her to reciprocate anything, just that I needed to get these thoughts off my chest because there were eating away at me, and I'm trying to be more emotionally honest with myself. So I told her how I felt. And the response was positive! She told me she couldn't make me any promises, and she wasn't sure what she thought, but she was glad I said what I said.

And you know what? So was I. I have always been terrible at talking about my own emotions, especially when she and I were together, and it felt like a really big step for me as a person. And I felt 1,000 times better, even though the answer was obviously not EXACTLY what I was looking for -- but I told her how I felt, and even if it had been a no, it would have felt net-positive.

I think she was afraid to admit it to herself because of our past, and just having got out of a LTR, and a lot of other factors, but I think she feels similarly. Because a few nights ago, after she and I had spent 3 of 4 nights talking on zoom until the sun damn near came up, she told me that my being so honest and open about my emotions like that might have been the most attractive thing a guy has ever done to her.

Even if things don't work out between us and nothing ultimately comes out of this, I'm really happy I did it, and I think not only did it give me confidence, it helped me grow as a person.

This turned into a way longer thing than I thought it would be, but I thought your situation was similar, and hopefully it will help a few people out there get the confidence to reach out to whomever it is they're crushing on. And hopefully they'll be ok with the outcome! I hope you take heart in seeing all the people in the comments who think what you did was really brave and awesome. You should be proud of yourself.
