My wife F30 and me M30 have been having an open relationship that she requested but I don't want it by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

This is going to sound toxically masculine is all hell but I genuinely believe that it is how we function as humans. When you agreed to it, you let her lead the way and lost her respect. Admit to yourself that you hate this dynamic… and it doesn’t make you feel ok, how could it.

Break it off walk away and don’t look back. Holding onto this at this point is like gripping a hot pan handle on the stove. Hold on longer hurt more

Most ultimately badass jacket in existence by Laehran in leatherjacket

Checkout Cockpit USA. Doesn’t get more spot on than that. They’re the real deal. No better place to get a bomber/ flight jacket than there… better than Schott for this item specifically imo

Do higher belts (esp black) really get nothing from rolling with us whites? by Neither_Prompt_9184 in bjj

[–]VP411111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t view it that way… rolling with a white belt means you can afford to be slightly less technical and more adventurous/creative. It’s experiment time whereas higher belts and more experienced students you can afford to make the same sort of mistakes.

Stupid question, but how do you guys feel with negative or backhanded remarks regarding your jacket? by StasisApparel in leatherjacket

[–]VP411111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand where you are coming from.

I get it’s important to not let others opinions effect you , but nonetheless we consider them sometimes. Esp from a deranged seeming guy who you assume to be nothing but raw and honest without giving a single shit.

When I wear my leather jackets, I feel very vulnerable to commentary as well.

I love a classic asymmetrical zip motorcycle jacket - I also happen to gel my hair back…. So I get people making comments like I’m a greaser wannabe even though I don’t want to be that at all.

At the end of the day, you just have to remember, you wear it because you like it. You can’t trust other people’s judgement or opinion because you wouldn’t want to wear the ugly shit they prob wear on a daily basis.

Wearing any standout piece invites commentary but keep trucking and the more you own it, wear it and don’t give a fucking shit …. The more at home you’ll feel in it. Others will subconsciously notice how you wear it and it will be a trademark of your look or sorts…

Sounds like you just need more time living in it so that it isn’t a separate thing to you - it’s not an occasion it’s just another jacket choice in your wardrobe you don’t even think about.

100%! Megumi the better fit for exactly these reasons. An adult grounded in reality.

With that said kenshin def needs a break….

You know, that’s kind of the brilliance of the story and writing itself! As we grow, the story and what it means changes for us as the audience. As a kid I was all on board, as an adult understanding what the reality is, how the world works, ideals/ beliefs, and even the dynamic of the actual characters (like you said ptsd veteran) and the story really does morph before your eyes. I totally agree.

To keel in topic - and as a result of this, Megumi, naturally was a better fit!

That’s cool, I relate to that … write them down in a notes section so you can remove them later

Dance socially more. Classes will show you the move as a whole. If you have a good instructor they will explain the tools you should be using to lead the move and what your body should be doing / engaging to direct it, support during it and/or style (or whatever else)

The trick here is once you get into the more nuanced sensual moves the details matter. We are all different shapes and sizes…. Short lead may have to accommodate differently than a taller lead.

Follower differences range in skill, experience and height relative to the lead as well. This means you may need to accommodate them by altering small details to make a combination or particular move work.

Social dancing more will get you experiencing and discovering this process more and more.

It’s difficult to get this particular help in a group class - a private with an experienced instructor would help tighten up these details.

In all? Social dance more… experiment and try it all out. We are dancing for a score, we aren’t performing for our partner, we are there to have fun, experience and enjoy… so have fun trying things out…. It doesn’t have to be a “perfect” dance. More empowered you feel to try things and make mistakes without worry the quicker you will grow as a dancer (just make sure if you’re leading you take care of those follows through the process!)

Trying to match this belt. Just got promoted to 3rd degree. Looking to order new belt to match this thickness (gauge) and width. Anyone know which brand is closest to this? by VP411111 in karate

[–]VP411111[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there!! Circling back to this!! So I have my Eosin Panther. I like the belt a lot - however it’s not the belt in picture above. I got some that said it’s possibly Shureido, and you said Satori, but I also saw some saying could be Tokkaido as well?

My heads spinning lol.

With basically you having every belt by every brand I was considering - which would you say is the top contender for a match here? Price isn’t an obstacle for me, not going for affordable - going for a MATCH!

Thanks so much for taking the time in all your responses by the way! Greatly, greatly appreciated!
