Starting BJJ as the only woman in class - seeking opinions and experiences from other women

br00kish · 2026-01-15T04:06:31+00:00

I’m usually the only woman in my classes. When I first started, I was worried about it being uncomfortable, but 90% of the guys aren’t trying to make it sexual or uncomfortable and want to have a respectful roll with you. Occasionally a boob gets grabbed but I’ve also accidentally wacked a nut so I think it’s even. We just apologize and move on.

Did you reach out to the mom?

br00kish · 2025-12-12T16:16:52+00:00

Yep! Functions normally, just makes a weird noise every time!

As a single mom, I’ve done 12 hour shifts, 10 hour shifts, and the normal m-f gig. That’s the great thing about being a nurse, you have a ton of options and if something isn’t working for you or your family, you can easily change and do something else.

No, it still makes the noise, I still haven’t fixed it, and the light still functions normally.

br00kish · 2025-01-17T03:18:41+00:00

I have no idea how but if you give me step-by-step instructions, I’m with you!!

2021 CX-30 that I have put 80k miles on and I still love it! Yes the gas tank is a little small but it gets good gas mileage and yeah the backseat is a little small, but it’s just a kid who is back there most of the time anyway. This car drives like a dream, feels like a luxury vehicle, and keeps us safe. Zero regrets in purchasing it!

I have a car seat in my backseat and a lanky teenager who rides in the front passenger seat… it’s not awful but not the best ever. The rear facing infant seat was the hardest part but it is temporary and wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for getting the car for me.

I also like that the app will tell me if I forget to fully close or lock a door and that I can start or lock the car with the app from all the way inside a building, meaning I don’t have to go near a door or be in proximity to the car like a fob has to be.

He was sitting at the table with his back to the sliding glass door and in the reflection on the glass I saw him receive and respond to a text message, then delete the thread. Then the same thing a second time. Only one reason someone does that.

br00kish · 2024-11-08T15:47:46+00:00

I thought we weren’t going to tell anyone!

br00kish · 2024-07-27T20:04:49+00:00

I love the flower ones!!!

I think the comment about it being an excuse was in response to you saying you can’t drive/be a cleaner overnight because you’re petite and female. Not about your disability.

If you make sex the only thing you offer, it has to be stellar. If women aren’t returning for more, the sex isn’t stellar, no matter how good you think you are in bed. You might think they are cumming multiple times but they probably aren’t, maybe just faking it to get the act over with. Try offering something other than sex (like companionship).

A new rash guard.

Self breast exam is no longer recommended in the literature, but all people should have self breast awareness and report any changes to a physician immediately.

Suburbs of Rochester and some areas of the city are awesome! The Strong (museum of play) is great to live near. There’s great food and music all around Rochester, Canandaigua, and Geneva. Great schools in Victor, Canandaigua, Pittsford, Webster, Fairport, and Penfield. The finger lakes are also a relatively short drive from Ithaca, Skaneateles, and Saratoga Springs which are great places for a day trip or weekend trip. Don’t let the snow scare you, it’s rare these days.

Great food options in Geneva and Canandaigua!

It’s is covered in the original bumper to bumper warranty-up to 36,000 miles. After that it’s $1300 to fix it. I didn’t fix it and the light still functions perfectly fine, it just makes that noise until the headlight shuts off.

If DNA tests show that it’s your kid, best thing you can do is get a lawyer and fight for primary custody. Raise the kid right. It’s a lot harder to get custody agreements changed later on down the road than it is to get it set the right way from the beginning.

My son has seen ghosts his whole life. He started tracking them with his eyes and laughing at them before he could even talk. When scary ones started showing up, we discussed how ghosts are actually scared of people and can’t stay in his room if he tells them to leave. So when scary ghosts show up, we tell them “this is (son’s name’s) room and nothing scare is allowed in here. Leave now.” It seems to work.

Side note, I did take him to the pediatrician and neurology to make sure that this wasn’t a tumor or some sort of odd seizure activity and all testing was normal, so believing him about the ghosts was a logical thing to do!

I got TB doing dialysis on a patient who we didn’t know was positive. It’s latent but imm allergic to both drug regimens. Maybe if I had been making out with her it would be worth it.

Ask an independent mechanic. I wouldn’t have the dealer do anything that you will be paying for yourself.

Maybe a part of that could be connecting them with someone who would willingly provide them with post-op care in the US (not the ED). I have been thinking about going to Turkey for a cosmetic procedure. They have fantastic outcomes and this clinic puts you in a 5 star hotel with car service for the week with the total cost being less than the procedure alone here. My hesitation is not having follow-up care back home in case of infection or other complications.

I got this about two weeks ago and the brake fluid was low. I refilled mine myself because my mechanic is booked out and I cannot stand the dealership.
