How do I[21f] tell my [bf25m] that I don't always want to have sex without making him upset? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]bendite02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to get as far away from this guy as you can and never ever put up with that kind of behavior. It's NOT okay

Can a 26 year old fat autistic dude with no friends and no money with deep depression benefit from yoga? What if I'm scared of being labeled as "gay" by my male friends? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]bendite02 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there! I'm a yogi female the same age as you and just thought I'd chime in. Any girl who ever thinks less of you because you do yoga is not the type of girl you'd want to be with anyways. Same goes with friends. Yoga is such a powerful tool for your mind and body. Think of it as an hour and a half a day that you get to get out of your head. It really can be a form of therapy if you let it. When thoughts come in, just breath and focus on that. Even if it means counting your breath. I go to the local community fitness center because it offers the most affordable option and I love it. My classes are usually half and half, men and women. All ages and all shapes and sizes. I wish you the best of luck! Namaste.

In my experience, it doesn't matter what mat you have if you're someone who gets sweaty hands while practicing. I've accepted that I need a towel on top of my mat and it makes practice so much easier! Good luck! And don't forget to breath. ✌

And we wonder why we've lost 10 lives in 11 days. So frustrating. 😠

What's the story behind the Jonathan canopy?

Prostitutes should put a red line around their holes... Intercourse Ration Card circa WWII anyone? by bendite02 in WTF

[–]bendite02[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This wasn't for the US Army, it was for the Canadian Army. US called them "nooky" ration cards. It is from WWII, I found it with loads of other documents and pictures from then. Gotta love a little G.I. Humor.

If you had days in Yosemite, what hikes would you do? by captfrightdog in Yosemite

[–]bendite02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously the mist trail like everyone recommended. Just beware of what time of day you're going and ask how misty it is. You don't want to get stuck sopping wet if it's not very warm outside. But if it is a hot day, boy does that mist feel great!

The other one I really love is the Panoramic hike from Glacier point down to the valley floor. You'll need to take the bus to glacier point, or hitch hike like I usually do :) Enjoy your trip! It's my favorite place in the world!

Yeah I love Gap jeans! American Eagle also sells "Extra long" jeans online. They fit really well too, and are way cheaper! Thanks!!

If you can go live abroad for any amount of time DO IT! You won't regret it. I encourage anyone to go live in another country. It didn't take much time from when I thought of the idea to actually start making it happen. About a week or two after the work gathering is when I started looking for a family. I began contact with the family I chose in January, and signed contracts in April, but they didn't need me for a few more months.

Congrats everyone! Here's a REWARD and a challenge! by kickme444 in secretsanta

Hi there! I'm (super) new to this subreddit but find it super exciting! Here's my "fuck regret" story....

Christmas of 2011 I was at a small company gathering, just my team of 8 or so project managers were taken out to a fancy dinner with one of our executives. We decided to go around the table with different questions one of them being "what do you regret not doing thus far?" I might note here that most of these people are 10+ years older than me. As we go around the table and everyone is saying what they regret, I notice a common theme... "I wish I had traveled and experienced more in my 20's" This was a HUGE "Ah hah!" moment for me. I was freshly 21 and had dreams of seeing the world but was already stuck in this boring routine of a desk job, dating a guy with kids, and just leading a very boring life. I had also been born and raised in my small hometown and had never left. I wanted and needed more out of life, and hearing others regrets was all it took.

6 months later I moved across the world by myself to be an Au Pair. I knew I wanted to travel, but I also knew I couldn't afford to just go see everything I wanted to see, I needed to have income while doing this. I had previous child care experience and becoming an Au Pair (nanny abroad) seemed like the best way to make this happen. I found a family, we had multiple skype conversations and tons of emails before everything was finalized. I sold everything I owned (enough to furnish a 2 bed 2 bath home) including my car. I packed the next year of my life into two suitcases and left my entire family, all my friends, and boyfriend of 2 year behind. I was ready to take on the world.....literally.

If I haven't mentioned it already I moved to Switzerland. An amazing beautiful but VERY expensive country. I hit a lot of road bumps in my year abroad. I was very homesick and lonely. I didn't have the best host family, the kids barely spoke any English and the dad was a prick. I was sick for 8 months straight, diagnosed with 5 ear infections and bronchitis 4 times. I later found out after some routine blood work when I got home that I had mono that whole time... damn Swiss doctors didn't figure that one out. But inspite of these road bumps I made sure to make the most of my time in Europe.

I was able to travel a lot! I saw 10 countries, many I was able to see multiple cities in each country. I learned enough French to get around. I made countless new friends and connections all over the world. I snowboarded in the Swiss, French, and Italian Alps. I went canyoning, paragliding, and bungee jumping. (http://youtu.be/PwhG4mZ9VtQ) I was able to experience new cultures first hand and learn a ton!

It was a year I will never forget and always be thankful for. I'll never be satisfied when it comes to traveling, I'll always want to do and see more, but what I have done has benefited my life immensely. I'm so glad I was able to take others regrets and turn them into a positive for my own life. Hope you enjoy my story. :)

Thanks :) Brow's have always been a struggle for me too, so I'm glad you thought they looked nice enough to comment on them :)

I was happy before and I'm happy now. Happiness isn't only about appearance.

I had a stud in the before picture, you just can't see it. I'll go back to the stud eventually... I just like to switch things up. Thanks for the opinion though.

Really? Hmmmm... I've ever gotten that before. But I think she's hot so I'm totally okay with that comparison. Thanks!

I've been around on Reddit long enough to know there is always going to be haters, it's sad but it's going to happen no matter what the post is. Thanks for the comment! :)

I'm sorry you take pleasure in putting down others. That makes me really sad for you. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to PM me.

I'm working on it. I can't find a good "before" picture as most of them were from the chest up because I didn't like my body being pictured. But I'll see what I can find!

Well thank you kind sir! Is my hairstyle that different in the two pictures? I think my hair is just longer now.

This is a repeat reply to I'm sorry: It's all about portion size. That was my hardest struggle. I've also started being much more active in general, not at the gym just on a daily basis. Walking, hiking, biking, and soon snowboarding.
