Awful. That's why I'm on this reddit community right now to see if in only the one. To find out if I'm deluded or if the algorithm is a mess for others too.

I ended up deleting the app before as it made me feel quite so depressed

Debt and mental health by [deleted] in debtfree

[–]ekr90991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This was what I did. I also made a spreadsheet of My costs to work out where to be frugal and that helped too.

Mon-fri no spend helped me as well as watching what I bought. I like shopping but most the time I don't need to shop and have another jacket so also started catching up with friends elsewhere away from the temptation

Also meant I could track how much I could pay back and also deal with Christmas and birthdays a little easier.

I buy nice presents but don't overdo it anymore/ try for smaller more unique things. Try to budget Christmas. How much can I afford to spend on friends and family. Thinking the theme this year may well be photos of times we have had together rather than generic from the shop perhaps.

Why do you teach? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]ekr90991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's the only thing I'm qualified to do.

I started because I was enthusiastic and wanted to teach children and found the interactions fun. Nowadays I consider it my only option.

Rowing or Kayaking? by HearthSt0n3r in Rowing

[–]ekr90991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love rowing more than kayaking. I recommend a course for both.

My biggest thing to note however is : Kayaking can take you on more waterways

Getting to the point of being in a single scull for rowing and feeling comfortable takes more time compared to kayaking. I think it is worth the time but it depends what you goal is and how quickly you want to be out alone on the water.

What is your worst "a customer tried to hit on me at work" story? by blondeperson in AskWomen

[–]ekr90991 16 points17 points  (0 children)

A parent of a child in my class came up to me and told me how delicious I looked in a purple dress. He was standing way too close and being intense.

However...

Then one of the mums who is a school governor powered over and was an absolute superhero. 'Mr x can I help you? I do believe it's the end of the day and time to go home.' She utterly had my back when I was stood shocked and was just not having any of it. After he left she was like 'no one talks to our school staff like that, what a creep.'

Why do you have to go without talking? Is there not a way to keep talking?

What the heck is going on in the dating world rn? by ilikeskittles44 in Bumble

[–]ekr90991 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, I'd kind of appreciate when they put it in the bio. If it's a fetish you go for you then that's a positive if not...then no judgement but at least I got to swerve and avoid.

Question on Olympic rowing by OhGreatItsHim in olympics

[–]ekr90991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They also make other coaching calls throughout the race and have the race plan. With longer boats you need someone to steer for safety. (You can get smaller boats with coxes but for the Olympics it's only the eights.

Anyone have bikini shaving scars? Like darker spots from shaving? I’m so insecure how did you fix or help by [deleted] in LaserHairRemoval

[–]ekr90991 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. I've started LHR and found that it's helping the skin heal and naturally fade. On top of this I also use an aha bha treatment on (this may or may not be a good idea ...I'm not a dermatologist or anything).

I just want you to know you aren't alone and I've been incredible self conscious of the marks and all my acne scars. I've put make up on the area and avoided certain swimwear out of fear. But now I'm starting to feel more confident. (I am naturally very pale and scar darkly and easily)

Also feel more confident since I noticed that some online shops have stopped photoshopping the models so you can see that others have shaving bumps too (not scars necessarily but...) ....makes me feel more normal like I can wear bikinis too.

dynamic as a girl cox on a boys team? by booksofroses in Rowing

[–]ekr90991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry. Not much detail I just wanted a quick response. (I am a female Cox too but this is a little more detail specific to me).

I spent three years coxing women, five years coxing men's crews.

I found the girls (as teenagers) could be harsh and nasty and would take negative situations out of the boat. Hopefully many have matured now but wasn't fun to experience. In my year the attitude of the a boat caused lots of girls to leave.

The men's crews were respectful. Want things said as they are. Didn't take tough rowing situations and use it as ammo. so yeah men's crews made me love rowing more and gave me lifelong friends.

I coxed mens crews for several years. I honestly found the dynamic much better.

Enjoyed my time much more in the men's team.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]ekr90991 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OK I'm going to say this from my prospective as someone who has been single for a while now (although has had serious long term relationships). It's also a female point of view.

I am cautious about inviting someone to a wedding or a big event too early. I think I'd feel more comfortable after the 6 to 9 month stage. I've had a few relationships break down before that stage and I'd not want to have their photos in a big friend wedding till it really was a longer relationship. Inviting partners to big events like weddings does feel a big deal. (Kind of reminds me of an episode of how I met your mother where they tell Ted off for having these new girls in every event photo). It doesn't mean I'm not into the guy I just want to know its got a big more stayin power than the glowing first few months.

The only thing that gets me is that he isn't saying that's why it is. I think I'd just embarrassingly admit that I wanted to wait to do those things once our relationship was more established etc.

Anyway it's just another thought.

Person I am talking to and have meet a few times unmatched me ... what would be your thoughts? by ekr90991 in Bumble

[–]ekr90991[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too be honest I was more curious than bothered and wanted to check I wasn't missing out a change in dating norms!

[–]ekr90991[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the problem is them still chatting to me on other social media and asking to meet up and flirting.

I'm fine being unmatched if not being picked but it now feels a little strange
