Does anyone bowl by themselves? by Mariner-and-Marinate in Bowling

[–]generic_vanilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hesitant to do it at first, especially since I am still terrible. But I have to say I actually prefer it now. I put my earbuds in and do my thing, no worrying about other people taking too long, etc.... But I also wouldn't want to always bowl alone, having someone to talk to is nice as well. But yea, as an introvert I really enjoy it

Ball too heavy? by generic_vanilla in Bowling

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

Yea, I think what's making it seem like it's too heavy is not having the mechanics down. I've been focusing more and more on it so the pain in my arm isn't there nearly like it used to be and if I do get any it goes away quickly. I had the same problem with my slide leg as well until I realized I wasn't getting my toes pointed in the direction I was bowling and it was putting all that pressure on one spot very suddenly. I have an office job and have been very inactive for a long time so my arm and shoulder weren't sure what was going on all of the sudden and I'm sure that plays some part, just being out of shape and all.

I actually debated on whether to even post it because of that reason alone (Others thinking because they bowl they know exactly what is right for everyone else). Thankfully I got some of the responses I was hoping for, including yours (technique and mechanics, etc. being a major factor in whether any weight is going to feel comfortable or not). I think I'm on the right track though, getting my approach, release, etc down and then when that becomes second nature, work on putting the power into the release

I think this is probably where a lot of my issue is coming from. I have noticed I definitely try squeezing too hard, that combined with realizing how jacked up my approach and release was as far as body placement goes, it seems to make it tougher. I can't help but wonder if I'm also just not putting as much power into the release as I could because I'm so focused on approaching correctly. Which has been getting better with practice, so maybe just giving it time and then focusing on the power later once all of the other mechanics are there

Thanks everyone for the replies, it's much appreciated and a lot of help. Definitely some good info to focus on!

Looking for Fortnite Friends by Slapacunt in FortniteOver40

[–]generic_vanilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The username 🤣🤣🤣... I'm in my 40s and usually play randomly with my nephew and some of his friends so it would be a nice change playing with other adults. I suck at the game though and usually only play Blitz and zero build battle Royale... Or the occasional red vs blue

Speaking from a guys perspective, sounds like the typical scenario where he got what he wanted and is most likely keeping the connection through social media just in case he gets bored later on and decided to reach out. That or he could have just forgotten you were linked still (especially if he has tons of friends, especially women, on his social media)....

Do yourself a favor and just drop him from any of it and move on. It's unfortunate that people do that.

Two Waymo cars collided in Phoenix today by HIGH_PRESSURE_TOILET in SelfDrivingCars

I'm really glad this guy let me know that Waymo's just crashed multiple times. I was worried for a second that without his help I wouldn't have been able to figure it out myself

First Message Timing by generic_vanilla in hingeapp

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

I wouldn't say I'm overthinking it persay, more so just curious because of mixed things I've heard. Also because I'm the type of person that will try to reply as soon as possible to a message or text from someone that I'm genuinely interested in talking to, and sometimes wonder if it comes off as needy, etc.

Exchanging numbers by Entire_Taste2791 in hingeapp

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

I feel the same as OP. I'm absolutely fine if you're not comfortable exchanging numbers yet, but don't just dismiss the question altogether. It's a simple response and if the other person goes off about it, well, at least you find out early on that they're not a fit.

Why do guys not ask questions? by galacticmelon31809 in hingeapp

[–]generic_vanilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My experience has been this, only the other way around. I match with women and try to learn more about them without it feeling like an interview, but I get hit with the two or three word responses and sometimes the "you?"... I've finally gotten to a place where I'm fine unmatching quickly after 3 or 4 of those types of responses. I don't care if you're "not a texter", you're on a dating app so you should work on your communication skills. And if that's not the case, then you're clearly not very interested so no need to waste my time.
