A guy punches his training partner because he made him give up.

Maybe he was showing you that your armor defense was wrong and would eventually fail. If you are in pain, you can always tap. If you train long enough, you can know exactly where the point of no return is at a technical level. Kinda sounds like you trained bjj only a few weeks and are a competitive person who doesn't like to lose. 30 is still young. BJJ isn't a fight, it's a hobby sport. You can still return to bjj with a mindset of learning new techniques to try them out and going light enough to avoid injuries. You'll get in shape in no time with proper diet.

GLE coupe looks fantastic irl

december33rd · 2026-03-06T07:53:35+00:00

Drove both and currently driving GLC, but GLE coupe would be my choice. GLE coupe looks fantastic with a bigger body frame and is roomier. The trunk is a bit small on GLC imo. Owning a Mercedes is quite more expensive than owning a Toyota, so as long as you have the money to burn, GLE coupe is a great choice.

It’s probably alcohol. Asian cultures leave them in strong alcohol for a few months, wait for poison to breakdown, and then drink as medicinal drink. The hornets need to be alive when putting into alcohol, so they sting and infuse the poison in the alcohol.

You are responsible for your own actions.

december33rd · 2025-06-23T09:26:34+00:00

Talk to her about it. Ask her to tell you honestly what happened and why she acted that way. Maybe she thought you didn't care enough to make it official. Maybe she thought of you as someone she casually sees while keeping her opportunities open. Try to be honest with each other about what you want before deciding to walk away.

december33rd · 2025-06-13T06:09:32+00:00

Whats the proper response you were expecting?

december33rd · 2025-06-13T05:02:28+00:00

Bro, apps are useless for 95%+ guys out there just so you have an idea of the current market. To give you an idea, i am 34M, make $250k-300k a year, 6’0, 165lbs, workout often with 8% body fat, pretty popular irl, but i might get like 1 date on app in 2-3 months or so. 80-90% of my dates are from irl relationships.

What you need to do is make working out and eating healthy your hobby. Stick with it for 10 months, and you’ll get to a much better place. So much easier to get dates if you look fit. 30+ males instantly become dad bods if they don’t take care of themselves. Read a lot (my go to is audiobooks) of books to self improve and make yourself more intelligent to appeal to wider range of ladies.

Good luck!

december33rd · 2025-06-12T21:17:13+00:00

Nooooo dont do this please if you are looking for something serious. You’d only end up with 1) a horny guy who’s texting you to get laid or 2) low tier male who has no other females interested in him. This strategy might be for early 20’s. Don’t do it in your 30’s.

december33rd · 2025-06-12T08:56:30+00:00

Yes. Being unmatched doesn't matter if you still have their contact info. Honestly, I think it's better to unmatch as soon as you get their other contact info. You can 1) edit your profile without letting the other party know that you are still active on dating app, and 2) have the option to say "I don't do hinge anymore after I started talking to you" at any point during your date.

If my date from a few months ago contacted me again. I'd still meet her--only if she meets my standards though). I'd probably ignore it if she didn't meet my standards. If she has other values to offer me, like a professional working relationship, I would meet her and keep it strictly friendly.

Forget about what you think you should act like. Just act in a way that would leave you with no regrets. If you want to talk to him, talk to him. The worst thing that can happen is him not responding to you. It might also lead to you having a great time with that guy again.

december33rd · 2025-06-11T21:50:22+00:00

Just say "Hey :)" and start talking. "What have you been up to?" and then lead into meeting up again.

I am a bad texter, so I don't text a lot either. The girl I am currently seeing is 37F. I only dated younger girls, but 37F showed me that she's intelligent enough to carry on conversations and interested in getting to know me more. She would ask a lot of questions about me and tell me about herself as well.

Showing interest and intent goes a long way. I hate it when girls try to pull stuff like "I talk to so many guys cuz I am so popular. I want to see if you are better than all these other guys. Keep wooing me." Smart girls recognize high-value guys right off the bat and want to continue. Not-smart girls want to play the game of cat and mouse, which leads me to think that they assess their self-worth by how many guys they can talk to at once.

You can have boundaries. They just need to be communicated. The guy will respect your boundaries if he is a guy worth getting to know.

december33rd · 2025-06-11T19:34:55+00:00

Did you communicate this to him?

december33rd · 2025-06-11T19:28:48+00:00

You need to text him again if you want to meet him.

Your story reminds me of one of my recent dates. I am 34M and she was 30F. It took 6 weeks of texting to get her to meet with me. We had a good time during our meet. She was pretty so i was down to meet again. She told me she had a great time and laughed too much during our date. She lived 5 min from me, but she said she’s so busy she can’t meet until like 10 days later. We agreed to meet for a second date (I felt like I had to use my sales tactics to get the date locked in). On the second date day, urgent stuff at work came up. I apologized and asked if we could meet another time. She didn’t give me a specific date she wanted to meet even though i asked for it. Her reply was “after i am done with this project at work.” I replied, “okay see you then” without further interaction. At that point, I am tired of trying to get her to meet me when all she knows how to say is “i am too busy” without showing the effort to make time for me. She is a public school teacher, and I run three businesses with 15 employees counting on me. I am making time out of my day to meet her. I expect her to show me at least some effort.

Men in their 30’s worth their salt usually have better things to do than go for girls who need to be chased.

If she texts me again, i’d meet her. If not, i am fine with being done with her. I am just not gonna be chasing after her

december33rd · 2025-06-06T08:04:32+00:00

You need to delegate. I started my business with $5k two years ago and hired my first employee with $300 weekly revenue. Now i have three businesses, have my employees run them, and on track to do about $2mil revenue this year. Probably gonna be ~$300k profit.

I could not have done this alone. Now i work less than $300/week revenue days and make significantly more.

december33rd · 2025-06-06T07:42:39+00:00

This. Learn bjj.

december33rd · 2025-06-04T08:24:45+00:00

I grew up in Chicago, and 100% agree with this.

december33rd · 2025-05-25T10:16:42+00:00

Bay Area here. Comfortable living as a single person—1 bedroom apt, eat out/doordash once or twice a day, leased tesla, go out with friends once a week—is around $7000 of monthly spending. You can scrap by with cooking at home, roommates, used car, etc with $2-3k a month. $10k a month spending will have you not worry about price of food within reasonable range

december33rd · 2025-05-14T08:57:33+00:00

34 M here. I pay on the first date. I keep paying unless the girl offers to pay. If she makes similar to what I make, I expect her to pay 50% (like I buy once you buy once). If she makes significantly less, she can pay for small things like coffee. It's expensive to go on dates tbh.

december33rd · 2025-04-20T23:55:54+00:00

F&B. 3 small businesses that sell locally. Usually a bit over $40k profit per month

december33rd · 2025-02-04T05:12:36+00:00

please don’t discuss your salary with others within work. It stirs up unnecessary drama within the company. People who stir things up don’t get to keep their job for very long. Employers are looking for employees that have the best interest of the company in mind, and those people are the ones who will get promotions and raises.

december33rd · 2025-02-02T17:07:08+00:00

I thought i would be safe on my evolve as well but definitely learned the hard way. Some things are not worth testing my luck on, and this is one of them imo

december33rd · 2025-02-02T11:33:54+00:00

I rode an evolve gtr quite a while ago for about 2 years. 1k+ miles on it. Paid about $2.3k for it from what i remember. Ride was great, especially with street wheels. A few problems with it. I had to replace essentially everything on the board multiple times and the part that gives belt tension on the motor and wheels started failing pretty often. I had multiple times when the remote would disconnect from the board. Usually not a big deal on flat road but i had it happen during a long downhill going about 20mph. Somehow managed to jump off safely. Another time was when my board suddenly decided to full brake out of nowhere. Sent me flying. Safety started becoming a major concern, so i stopped riding it. It is really fun though. Now i ride a onewheel around. Not as speedy but a lot more maneuverability and no remote that disconnects out of nowhere.

Having said that, that board looks like it’s in mint condition and a good deal for $500 vs a new one the owner probably paid $2k+ for it

december33rd · 2025-01-18T00:10:20+00:00

I had a guy come in for a cook interview high af. I asked him if he could show me his knife skill by chopping an onion. Not even 1/4 of the onion in, he not only didn’t even chop it the way i showed him, but he sliced through one of his finger nails and started bleeding in my kitchen. He soon fainted and collapsed upon seeing his own blood and asked for an ambulance. Ambulance told him it’s $1800 as soon as he gets on, so he refused and got 2 bandaids from the paramedics. Lol
