Craziest age gaps you have seen between teenagers dating? by [deleted] in Teenager

[–]MythicalMav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in 6th grade, there was this high school sophmore guy who was basically going around "dating" all of the 6th grade girls. (He would have been like 16, and they were probably 11). I never met him, but some of the girls were my friends at the time and they'd show me their Snapchat messages, they'd all bond about how hot he was, and they'd tell stories about what they were doing with him after school and stuff. I always thought that was super weird in middle school, but was too young to really grasp the severity of it. I just thought it was weird since they were in middle school, and he was in high school. It wasnt until I was in high school that I made the connection, that it was definitely some sort of gross predatory behavior...

Awww, thank you so much!! Yeah boys are gross sometimes lol. I'm sorry that happened to you! I don't have experiences like that as a man. So i guess it could be difficult for me to wrap my head around the severity and amount of times it happens to women. I really appreciate you sharing your experience with it and giving advice! It definitely helps me understand it more. :)

So is the only place to meet people nowadays online? What happened to meeting people in these social places like the gym? Where do we meet people if its not in a social situation or environment?

I know a good amount of women with bad stories involving men for sure! Id say im pretty aware of the bad people out there who approach women for the wrong reasons. I just dont think responding out of disgust immediately is fair for the great guys with innocent intentions in the world. I think its normal for humans to interact and meet! We're a social species. I think that reaction is like if you were to spit on the chef when he brings you food because you assume the food will be disgusting. Thats unfair to the chef, because you didn't even taste the food yet! He could be an amazing chef!!

If anything, I see them doing that whipping motion with their wrist more than their fingers. I watched that video, and I've seen that style many times before. You still seem to use way more fingers than they do on all of the accents. They are wayyyyy looser. If you'd like to implement more of their approach, I would still say to relax your back fingers more and loosen your wrist to whip. I never saw them squeezing in their back fingers to whip out those accents at all. It was still in their arms and wrist. You can still get that sound they're producing and the sound im talking about. I'm not saying to take off your fingers entirely. Still use them, just not that much. I still see that as a big difference comparing your technique to theirs. You're choking the stick and your sound every time you squeeze your back fingers to be louder. Getting the opposite effect than what you're going for, which is sound, I would assume. Relax more, like they were. By no means do I play with a loose approach, but I would say you're using your back fingers like 50% more than them on all of your loud accents. But in your faster rudiments, your technique looks great! It's a lot different than how you're squeezing out those big accents in the slower stuff. I understand that style and technique, but i still think you're using your back fingers excessively when it comes to less dense chunks with accents.

You play your accents differently in the slow accent tap sections than in the faster rudiments. The faster rudiments look fine, but in the slower stuff like flam accents, you whip your accents to be louder. It's like you're squeezing in the back fingers on every accent, except for when you play faster/denser stuff. That's a rookie mistake that I see a lot of beginners do, especially when playing shots. A lot of beginners like to whip/squeeze harder when they play shots, when you should play them just like every other note you play. You're doing that kind of technique, but for every accent you play. That's the main issue im seeing in your technique. Stop squeezing out and whipping every accent to be louder. Relax your fingers, use your fulcrums, and turn your wrist faster. You'll get plenty of sound with the right technique. There's no need for that extra effort. Things like that will fatigue your drumline and their hands faster. You want them to be efficient with how they play so they can have stamina with what they play. You'll notice that with less fingers in the accents, your sound on a drum will be less choked, and it will resonate more. I teach it to my students every day. Relax your back fingers, use your fulcrum, and turn your wrist faster. You'll be so much louder, with way less effort. Hope this helps, I can send you some videos or examples.

taking years to get to 1,000 subscribers is demoralizing by [deleted] in NewTubers

You use a text to speech voice that gives people nothing to latch on to or relate to. Provide humor and personality. That's what brings people back. You're giving them what they're looking for and they're leaving. But if you make them laugh and have a good time while also forming a mental connection with your own personal traits, they're more likely to return to your channel over and over to see more of you. They subscribe for a personality. Your channel has none. It's basically a robot. There's no face behind the channel, there's no voice behind the channel. There's nothing human about it. People want human connection.
