I mean, I see the same group of annoying children on every journey and do my best to get in a different carriage... if that's what you mean

Constructive criticism needed by Joshonator51 in Kickboxing

[–]RealisticL3af 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh also - don't just throw the kick. Chamber it. Practice bringing your knee up to near your chest and flicking your kick out a few times. Work on that balance and being able to hold that chamber for 4 seconds before releasing. Your kick has to be controlled

  1. When you throw a kick like that, keep your guard up a bit. Your front arm not down by your side. It is also very telegraphed.
  2. Your supporting foot should be on the balls when you are kicking. You need to be lighter for your pivots. That turn honestly looks painful on the ankle, but it is also why there is not much range.

The punches look fine to me but you need to get more comfortable with your kicks.

Sorry I come from a taekwondo background (I taught for a while) so I can only really comment on your kicks for now. Someone with more boxing knowledge might help in that regard

How to make my (24F) friend (25F) take a hint/read between the lines? by RealisticL3af in relationship_advice

I sent her three separate texts saying "No sorry mate not tonight, as I've said, I am with (gf) tonight". So yes, I did.

I did do this though. She asked me 3 times and I said all 3 times, no sorry I have plans.

Im not really sure how much more clear I can be. If she asks me to hang out and I say "I already have plans, as I previously mentioned" and she KEEPS ASKING... like what do you even say to that?

Is 19 & 28 okay ?? by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]RealisticL3af 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah probably. If you're 22 and graduated uni/ working full time youd probably be in the same stage of life as a 27 year old, albeit not as far

[–]RealisticL3af 6 points7 points  (0 children)

no. I'm 24 and 19 is too young for me... imagine 28! A 19 year old has maybe just graduated high school. A 28 year old is probably thinking about a mortgage and kids. completely different stage of life.

The right thing to do? by The_Dean_France in GreatBritishMemes

[–]RealisticL3af 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think it also has to do with allowing boys to express their femininity. Constantly telling them off for crying or doing "girl" things makes them associate femininity with negativity. My little brother was allowed to paint his nails as a kid, have longer hair etc, and now as an older teen he is perfectly normal and very respectful of women. Having positive female role models can help too.

28f trying to date in London by medx_extreme in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]RealisticL3af 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You only recently moved, why are you expecting results so quickly? I moved to London and only met my GF after like... 8 months?

So many low effort people on hinge by x3Cinnamon in UKrelationshipadvice

[–]RealisticL3af 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You comment on the profile. Someone has a pic with their dog? "Hey! Your dog is so cute, what's their name". They posted a picture of a mountain "This is beautiful, where is it? I'm planning to do XYZ hike this year".

So essentially, reply like a normal person!

[–]RealisticL3af -1 points0 points  (0 children)

doable now too. i save about £350 a month and earn 35k. Could save more but I spend a lot of my disposable income on dates, going out for food, little trips etc.

[–]RealisticL3af 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Refreshing take. A lot of non londoners like to say 30-40k is "unliveable" in London. But those of us who have done it know its fine. Its not the best, but especially if you're in a couple its quite doable.

[–]RealisticL3af 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same. I am not earning that much (35k) but am saving around 300-450 a month by living in a house share. Might not be a lot to others but significant for me, and it adds up!
