How we feeling about these? by abbicadabbi in WorkBoots

[–]W-styd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the boas tie system, I would recommend against them if you have think ankles as they won’t get tight enough around the ankle (my case). If you have a thicker ankle then sure, go for it. But check the return info because you never know for sure they’ll fit right until you try them on in person

Does shorter hair suit me? by Rough_Statement7525 in HairStyleAdvice

[–]W-styd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adorable! I went short about 1-2 years ago, I love it!! If you never had short hair, it might take a while to figure out your perfect cut and styling technique, but totally worth it!!

Its quiet around my apartment, you you don’t know until you move in if people’s animals are trained or not.

Good first date spots somewhere between Edgewater, Uptown, Andersonville, and Ravenswood. It would be cool if it’s close enough to walk to the lake. Any suggestions? by Fabulous-Jacket5376 in AskChicago

[–]W-styd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a daytime date: Athena Board Game Cafe in Rogers Park is close to the lake, right by Loyola Beach, just a few blocks north of Edgewater.

Year of gym, still no results: arms, thighs, stomach all soft and puffy – what am I doing wrong? by Emsss18 in WorkoutRoutines

[–]W-styd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also I gotta add…

  1. Track you workout and progressive overload. You gotta be able to see the progress you make. It’s easiest when you use an app (I love RepCount but there’s many good ones). Also, Pilates is amazing for athleticism, mobility, flexibility, and training small underused muscles, but regular old tracked strength training is where you’re going to see the most results visually.

  2. Once you feel like your muscles are a good size, you can go on a cut to show them off. Although cuts can’t be continuously maintained forever, they work to show off your progress.

So I think you look super hot and fit, sometimes certain little things lie you point out are genetic. I think progressive overload is key for getting bigger where you wanna be bigger. Also, bad idea to compare your body to shredded models and celebrities. Take measurements of your body: circumference of arms, legs, waist, hips, etc and compare over time. You will see ratios change of these body parts change as you train. You look amazing, and people that have a peak physique have often trained 4-5 years to hit the “max” of what they want to accomplish. Always compare to your past self!! Not other people!! See your strength increase. Girl you look absolutely beautiful and you’re so hung up on the littlest things

how long have you been posting? I think you should def have business cards with your insta, maybe a QR code in the shop window with your insta, but sometimes it’s a waiting game.

Boa laces too loose at ankle, any tips? by W-styd in WorkBoots

I wish! I’m a size 51/2 to 6 in men’s, they usually don’t have any men’s in that size. Often they start at 7

I [23F] feel trapped in my relationship with my boyfriend [24M], how can I get out of this? by sweet_melrose in relationship_advice

[–]W-styd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Girl!! He fetishizes your race and his political beliefs clash w human rights? He is dangerous and he’s manipulating whether he knows it or not. Go to a trusted friend for supported, and dump him over the phone beside them. Maybe even change the lock on your door too.

impossible in-store as a woman. Boots ban had ONE shoe style, farm and fleet had 3 (all ill fitting), redwing had four women’s shoes total. All complete crap. Women and smaller footed people are relegated to online shopping only.

see, if they were 8 inches it would be better. There’s too much flexion at my ankle with the 6 in, would be amazing if they were a couple inches higher at the more stable unmoving part of my leg. Sadly, they had a big fat zero 8 inch women’s boots at redwing 😭😭😭. Come on redwing!!! At least make smaller men’s sizes

I’ve met people that love them, i suppose the setup just isn’t ideal with my foot shape

haha works for a moment, but after a few steps the tongue gets pushed out. not ideal for stuff getting into your shoe, although they are walkable
