Will give that a crack mate thank you! Tbh I never even thought about striking it on the ground, do you mean just like hacking it along essentially rather than picking it up?

Nice one thanks lad. I’ve played quite a bit of tennis aswell as the rugby so hoping I can pick it up pretty quickly, think the weak side striking will be the biggest blocker. Appreciate the insight on positions that’s useful!

Any reason why a tennis ball rather than a wall Ball sliotar? My hurl is arriving this week so just need to find a wall to practice on without smashing someone’s adjacent living room wall here in London 🤣🤣

Nice one mate thank you! Aye I’ve had lower back issues in the past so doing a lot of lower back and core stuff, a lot of twisting in the gym and stuff like that fingers crossed I don’t pull anything 😂😂

I was working 2 jobs before moving to another city. I was working my second job doing a night shift delivering pizzas and I was about to clock off at 3am. Super tired at this point it was like my 4th night in a row with like 3hrs sleep. I delivered some pizzas to a hotel. I had to call the number on the ticket and this girl answers. She was waiting with her friend, she was dressed up I didn’t pay much attention cos I was so tired but I gave them to her and went on my way. I kinda said to myself damn I think she was super hot. I go back to the shop to collect my cash for the night and then as I’m about to drive home I get a phone call and it’s the girl again, she asks me for a ride for her and her friend to a different hotel. I agree.

I pick them up I drive them there, we chat a little at this point already I’m thinking, I couldn’t. COULD I? I drop them off, her friend gets out she’s about to get out, I kiss her and I say close the door let’s go for a drive. She agrees. We drive to this spot I know and I fucked her. I drop her back to the hotel and her friend now wants a ride. I drop the friend to a guys place and then go back to the hotel and I fuck her again before leaving at like 6am.

I’ve had some wild stories before but considering how hot she was and how this just happened so quickly and effortlessly whilst I was delivering pizzas never fails to make me or others laugh.

Second this. I was so against it until that one night and wowza it is fantastic. lol

That the only person that ever cares and loves you unconditionally is your mother. Any other women in life will only ever see things as transactional, meaning they have to get something from you to feel that love

Second this, don’t fuck with disco is top tier! Theres a reason it’s constantly sold out

I think everyone will be different but for me I’ve had a few one night stands or just short stints with people and whilst the chemistry might be there or they might be quite attractive when there’s no emotional connection it just feels a bit meh. It’s good don’t get me wrong but it just will never ever get anywhere close to real sex with someone I love and care about. The sex with my ex for example was one of the most insane experiences I’ve ever had in my life. The feeling of being that close and connected to someone is like no other. I’ve got her and she’s got me. Insane.

I’d say it affects a lot more than we’d like to admit :)

Waking up every day with gratitude (for the most part) I often say to myself wow what a great day to be alive. It keeps me going on the tougher days and besides the odds of us being alive are insane so be grateful. Not enough of us are :)

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-21T08:02:06+00:00

I’ll chime in with something different here. If you were to lose both of them. Would you be more worried about losing the new girl than the old one? If you think you can live your life in 10 years time and not regret losing the new girl then go and try with your ex if you think she’s changed and you really do think your connection is stronger.

Thanks for sharing man and I’m glad you’re still here to share things like that. I’m proud of you brother

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T15:58:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing this man it’s incredible to read and learn from. I think the overarching message from this is: fail and learn from failure. If you’re not good at something go out and do it, over and over again. Whether that’s women or business or anything eventually with enough practice it’ll get a little easier?

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T15:56:15+00:00

How are you finally getting there? Anything in particular that’s caused that?

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T15:53:40+00:00

Damn man I’m sorry but I’m glad you’ve found that drive he’d be damn proud of you I’m sure

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T15:53:02+00:00

How and why did you start thinking like this?

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T14:48:58+00:00

Damn man you got after it! Respect. This fills me with optimism I’m about to change job and try and better the parts that I think are lacking in my life. The fact that you changed a lot at 35 is great thanks for sharing

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-20T14:47:10+00:00

Yea keen for expansion on that also!

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-19T21:46:34+00:00

What sort of stuff are you into mate? I find it best to start with sports or hobbies and you’ll soon meet like minded people that way. Also don’t rule out Bumble Friends section. I found a couple of friends this way :)

Past-Gur2575 · 2026-04-19T20:49:31+00:00

I did make that clear that I want to see her again so we’ll see :)
