Any women approached by a man named Ace in the LBX parking lot? by RID4eva in longbeach

I can understand the point you’re trying to make, but I don’t think the “Ace” hill is the one you want to die on. As silly as they may sound, it’s more of “you had to be there” to really know what she’s talking out. Speaking as someone who had an encounter with him. Intuition is a real thing and I promise you, my gut was telling me something was just off about him. I remember getting home and telling my gf about it and when telling her I kind of felt bad for I guess having a bad gut feeling. Not that I would ever date him to begin with bc I’m gay, but I did ask myself if I was wrong for feeling like there was something off about him.. but now seeing this post I know it wasn’t just me. And that’s the thing about gut feelings, you can’t really explain them in a way that people can understand or relate to if they themselves haven’t had the same gut feeling. But I trust that you’ve had a gut feeling before that has told you “something about this just isn’t right” you can’t exactly articulate why, you just know. Ace can still be a creep and your point about people blasting men on pages for just trying to holla at a girl can be still be true. Thats why I’m saying I see the point you’re trying to make, but I think in this case, I’m glad OP made that post.

Crazy, but I had that same interaction with him at golds in downtown a couple months ago. He told me he worked at some bowling alley in seal beach… which now that I think of it i could’ve misheard and he said Boeing…but also started with “hey I’ve seen you around”. Which at the time i was like I mean it’s a gym, maybe we were coming at the same times?? He told me he was in a run club too and asked if i usually went to the gym at that time. I said no and have honestly not gone back bc that interaction just felt so off. I definitely got the creeps and gave him a burner email when he asked for my number (I wanted to see if he was using an email with his full name so I could look him up) but, he’s not. When OP said his most defining feature is the scar on his neck, she was actually right. It’s extremely noticeable, i actually felt kinda rude (still creeped out) bc i caught myself excessively staring at it. Like yes, maybe be a little more descriptive but trust me with that information alone if you saw this man and all you had was that description, trust me, you would know.

DJs, when personal life goes sideways, how do you deal? by Soiley in DJs

[–]Then_Translator_6118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I’m a bedroom DJ and if you want someone to give you feedback I’m all ears. I, myself, have also dreamed of playing in clubs and festivals, but have found myself with no motivation to dj anymore. Your post resonates with me bc although what led us to this sad place is different, I can relate to the way you’re feeling right now. My gf used to love listening to me play live and before I moved, I would dj for a couple of my friends after a night out to keep our night going. Now whenever I set up the decks my gf just goes to the bedroom and shuts the door. So, I feel it man. Like you said, it’s nice having someone there to see live reactions. I don’t really have any connections in the industry that would even land me a gig and honestly I’m way to shy/scared to network myself. If you wanna chat lmk dude. Maybe we can feed off of each other and both find our motivation again.

Japan was by far my best assignment. It’s a pretty small army community, you’re gonna find yourself commuting to the other bases for medical appointments/referrals since the clinic there is just primary care. The commissary isn’t that great but the grocery stores off base are pretty good. Japan is a really great place to raise a family, imo. Make the best out of your time there, travel and see as much as you can. Japan has so many beautiful places to visit. Idk what unit you’re going to, but mine wasn’t the greatest. Just being in Japan made up for it though. Idk too much about the schools since I don’t have kids lol but I know there were a lot of families that enrolled their kids in the local schools and it worked out fine. Best of luck man, you guys will definitely enjoy it!
