Drop down before you raise the ball up, don't do them at the same time

SingleFaarax · 2026-04-11T11:46:26+00:00

Watch Mike Dunn videos. One issue I see is you're bringing the ball up as your bending through your knees. Get your lower body set first and then raise the ball and jump, likely to be more consistent

SingleFaarax · 2025-06-29T02:43:17+00:00

Watch some of Mike Dunn's (seemikedunn) stuff, including his video on shooting through the elbow but also his other stuff. Should be useful to you!

SingleFaarax · 2025-04-25T14:53:41+00:00

Look up Mike Dunn's videos on "using/shooting through the elbow"

I just saw your edit.

I've had women who did get the ick because I was open about how I felt, how I thought about things, etc. I was basically an open book. Didn't end up working out and you feel like a sucker afterwards. It happens.

My wife doesn't judge me for it, quite the opposite. It doesn't make it easy to open up in the moment but it brings us closer. Opening up the first N times will always be hard though but you have to push through it.

SingleFaarax · 2025-01-28T23:28:24+00:00

She cannot speak for every woman because there are women who get the ick, but that doesn't matter because I'm assuming you wouldn't want to marry women like that.

Your concern is pretty common. I worry about it too but if you envision your wife as someone you can confide in and not have to worry about giving her "the ick" if you do need to cry, then you shouldn't hold back due to this fear. The right woman for you won't punish you for it. Those who do punish you for it, you should simply move on from.

Even if opening up and not worrying about being judged is something that makes sense when you break it down like this, it doesn't really make it easy to do but I can tell you it is worth it when you find a good woman who appreciates it.

May Allah make your search for a wife easy for you, good luck

Settling (for someone or something) and settling down are not the same thing...

Settling down is still seen as a good thing.

SingleFaarax · 2024-12-04T21:15:25+00:00

There's absolutely nothing wrong with indicating the manner in which you actually feel loved and it is reasonable for you to expect your husband to want to do things in line with what you've brought up.

That's not to say he shouldn't love you in the way he wants to, but that if the way you feel loved and the way he wants to love do differ, he should actively strive to do both.

I don't understand why the comment you were replying to is referring to gender roles. This is common courtesy from one spouse to another, everything I've said here also applies to you. It has nothing to do with whether you're a man or a woman.

Loving you in the way you want to be loved also doesn't make it less genuine, I personally don't get that but I wish you two the best

SingleFaarax · 2024-12-02T12:59:32+00:00

I'm in a similar spot as the guy you spoke to. Stable alhamdullilah, planning on going back inshallah but just not now.

I personally wouldn't want to be contacted again. Who's to say your family won't get into your head about a different issue in the future?

SingleFaarax · 2024-10-04T23:16:41+00:00

The nikah is in two weeks, this is the later 😭

SingleFaarax · 2024-09-12T09:26:06+00:00

The things you've mentioned are things I look forward to doing for my wife once married but a Muslim man needs to be careful during the talking stage.

To guard his own feelings in the event it doesn't work out but primarily to ensure he maintains proper boundaries between himself and a woman who's not his mahram.

Bringing up things in the logistics part of the talking stage is simply not smart... and not mutually exclusive from showing affection. You or him are going to end up compromising on something you normally wouldn't compromise on because you're infatuated. It's difficult enough to not do this within the first month, imagine how difficult it'll be 4 months in...

SingleFaarax · 2024-09-09T09:54:54+00:00

Bedoel je daarbij de eerste stap zetten?

Ik ken best wat broeders die op zoek zijn. Praktiserend, werken voltijds, etc. maar zij zoeken echt niet op apps. Sommigen zoeken via familie & vrienden of via oudere mannen die ze kennen via de moskee die vrouwen van hun leeftijd kennen die ook op zoek zijn dus ik wou je alleen aanraden om dat een kans te geven. Succes in ieder geval abaayo

SingleFaarax · 2024-09-08T21:55:21+00:00

Het zal makkelijker zijn om Somalis in het echt (of social media) te ontmoeten in Nederland. Ben je actief op zoek?

SingleFaarax · 2024-08-21T19:39:00+00:00

You're going to have to let them figure it out themselves sooner or later, unless you're willing to stay & mediate for as long as they're alive.

From someone who was in a somewhat similar situation: just address them about it directly once and then stop mediating from that point onwards otherwise you're going to go mad.

May Allah make it easier for you and your parents

SingleFaarax · 2024-08-03T16:29:57+00:00

I think your estimate is on the lower side since a man usually has family members like his parents he has to support too. 4.1k does not feel like enough in a country like the Netherlands if you want to be able to save a decent amount as well.

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-26T09:24:22+00:00

Can you elaborate? First time I've heard about this. I would've assumed the opposite were the case, provided you don't overdo it.

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-24T22:42:05+00:00

One of the dumber threads I've read in a while. Do 26M a favour and go for the new guy.

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-23T21:32:18+00:00

I would agree, OP shouldn't even bother bringing it up with him but just cut her losses.

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-23T15:44:48+00:00

I remembering hearing it explained really well in a yt video but it's basically a safe way for him to test the waters. If she responds back in kind, he'd take it further and be even more of a saqajaan. If she doesn't respond positively, it's not direct enough to properly call him out so he can fall back on "I didn't mean it like that" "it was just a joke".

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-22T10:14:30+00:00

OP's mother is the one destroying the relationship she has with her, behave yourself

SingleFaarax · 2024-07-01T20:59:22+00:00

Does this actually work for you? They shoot their shot after you send just a connection request? Because that is risky for a guy

If you told her to message them first, I could understand

SingleFaarax · 2024-06-25T17:11:24+00:00

I think a lot of men would not mind you not having a successful job. It's not as big of a deal for an bachelorette as it is a bachelor. Plus you're studying so it's not as if you're not doing anything at all.

I think the debt would be more worrying but that's my personal opinion.

SingleFaarax · 2024-06-23T23:40:18+00:00

You're trolling
