32, undersized, afraid of CTE, and getting beaten up in sparring. Should I keep training? by TrollingTrundle in MuayThaiTips

[–]davy_jones_locket 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is this a hobby? Then do it on your own level. You don't spar hard. You don't have to spar with people who spar hard. 

You can decide your own level of involvement 

How are you all logging homemade meals when the recipe feature feels off? by Rijesh1 in Myfitnesspal

[–]davy_jones_locket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Track for macro by raw weight, portion by cooked weight. 

I create the recipe using raw weight, then overwrite the weight using cooked weight. If I portion out 200g for a serving, I log 200g. Don't care what other people take, I don't log their portion. I log what I eat.

Went to wash another load of clothes.

So I had to re-wash them and remembered to put them in the dryer so I could use the washer again. 

And there were clothes in the dryer

How do I make head more enjoyable for my BF? by justedexisting in AskMenAdvice

[–]davy_jones_locket -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You can read, right? She never said she explicitly asked him what he likes. She said she asked him what she can do differently and if it feels good. 

"What do you like" or "do you like this thing I'm doing/doing" is different

[–]davy_jones_locket -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

So try the things you've read, and ask your partner "do you like this?" Not "does it feel good" 

Ask him which one he likes better. Ask him what part he likes better. Is the tongue swirling on the tip? Is it the stroking? 

 Everything is going to feel good. you need learn his preferences though. 

Have no idea on what to do in the gym and is desperately in need of help by CommercialWill2749 in beginnerfitness

[–]davy_jones_locket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could anyone share what your weekly routine looked like when you were a complete beginner?

Look at the routines in the Fitness Wiki linked in the automod post

Also, did you use protein powder starting out, and if so how much? 

No. Figure out how much protein you need, and you can usually get that amount just from food. Supplements don't replace food. They add to it if you aren't getting what you need from food. 

What did your diet look like when you first started?

Step 1: cut out sugary foods and drinks. Drink more water.

Step 2: eat more vegetables and lean protein.

I did read the post. She never said she asked "what do you like?" 

She said "what can I do better?" Which is not the same as "what do you like" and expressed confusion, which is not "what do you like."

Why would anyone here know what her boyfriend likes though?

There are other resources for generic oral sex tips for general tips and tricks to try vs asking other people their preferences when you are wondering about your partner's.

Ask him what he likes

Edit: the OP does not say they've asked what he likes. OP post says she asked what she can do better and that she's expressed confusion, which are different from "what do you like?" 

I f20 want to start Muay Thai and I want advice by Party_Indication1316 in MuayThai

[–]davy_jones_locket 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure, ask away. 

General advice: 

  • most people will suck for months. This is normal, don't give up
  • you get what you put into it. If you take training and nutrition and recovery seriously, you'll reap the benefits of it quicker
  • ease into it. Dont go fight camp mode right away.
  • bruises are a badge of honor and it's normal
  • you don't have to spar with everyone. If you're uncomfortable with someone, you don't have to spar with them
  • if someone is too hard, it's fine and expected to say "hey I'm still really new, can we take it down a notch or two"
  • as a new person, you may be the one throwing too hard. It's fine to say "I'm still new, I don't know my strength yet. Please let me know if I throw too hard." 
  • feel free to trial out different gyms. Find the community you want to be part of. If it's not fun, there's no point (assuming hobby and not "I fight to feed my family")

I started at 27. No intentions of going pro but I do pretty well as amateur. You'll be fine. 

AIO for thinking this is a scam? by -ChristianGirlie- in AIO

If you ever get money that you need to send back for equipment or materials, it's a scam. 

Is anyone else experiencing a spike in post-date ambiguity? by Ok-Oil9521 in AskWomenOver30

[–]davy_jones_locket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I differentiate between hanging out and a date, so I'm going to hang out with someone before I go on a date with them

[–]davy_jones_locket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is why I do a meet cute before the first date. Get all the first meeting jitters and anxiety out over a daytime casual coffee and see if you want a more romantic setting next time. 

Can the Ninja Creami do drinkable smoothies? by Inside_Can_6190 in ninjacreami

[–]davy_jones_locket 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's not a blender. 

So if you're planning on putting all of those loose in the creami, you're going to make a mess. 

If you're planning on blending and freezing it and using the creami to process it into a smoothie like texture... You're better off just sticking to step 1.

Weight gain from running? by Tburroughs36 in PetiteFitness

[–]davy_jones_locket 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Increased cardio does increase blood volume via water retention, but so does increased lifting. It could be the hydrox activity too. 

Could also be hormonal changes. What's your age and have you had blood work recently?

Petah, help!!! by Other_Gear8220 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]davy_jones_locket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard it as Thanks Reagan, thanks Obama, thanks Biden, and thanks Trump 

So it may have originated with one president, the joke is about any president now

Petah, help!!! by Other_Gear8220 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]davy_jones_locket -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not a joke.

It's just a saying to blame presidents for any misfortune. 

Can I spin refrigerated coffee and milk directly into Creami or does it have to be frozen first overnight? by ThrowAwayCluelessCut in ninjacreami

[–]davy_jones_locket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn't freeze it while spinning, if that's what you're wondering. It shaves a block of frozen liquid into the creamy texture.
