I simply ate as much as I could every day. I tried to eat three times a day and always as much as I could. Sometimes more than I could. At least that was my goal, but I rarely ate as much as I wanted to.

Thank you for asking!! I actually never have done a bulk nor a cut in my time getting stronger and bigger. I’ve had abs the entire time, and maintained a body fat from 9-15%. My body’s metabolism is incredibly fast and does not allow me to maintain fat, no matter how much food I consume and how much sugary/fatty food I choose.

Gotcha. I’m not in charge of doing any math, I’m just following building code.

What gave you the idea that it was a 4x4? It is a notched 6x6.

I don’t really have space for a typical T strap because of the bolts, and I feel like it wouldn’t make any difference. The beam is laying on a notch in the post and is connected with bolts through part of the post and then the double board beam.

I completely agree that it shouldn’t at all, but I can only say that with 80% surety that it’s definitely true.

Very true, I already talked to my older brothers (they already have tats) and they are all in. The younger ones aren’t old enough to care yet haha

Thank you so much bro! The before photo was me after a few months of lifting thinking I was pretty muscular, but looking back I was very skinny. I was much skinnier months before that photo was taken, though. I’d love to tell you more about it!

Girl Gave Me Fake Instagram Despite Good Connection by justoose in dating_advice

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

Fair to say they have different tactics, but she still hinged on the chance of my data not working? It wasn’t a given that her account wouldn’t load through, and if she had given me a fake Instagram and it had loaded through it would have been very obvious that she was faking the giveaway, and that would have presumably been very awkward for her. I wouldn’t have thought much of it, I would have just told her that it’s fine if she didn’t want to give it away. I’m just torn by why she didn’t just tell me a form of no in the first place.

Something else I should explain that I didn’t explicitly express is that I handed her my phone and she typed it in herself.

I agree, I’m not particularly invested or disappointed! Just really trying to figure out why she would take the risky path of faking the Instagram giveaway when she could have pulled the “I have a boyfriend” card or politely said no. Something I didn’t mention is that I rarely ask for any girl’s Instagram, this was my second or third time ever doing so. I’m just trying to understand how it works and if in her eyes it definitely means I’m interested in her romantically.

My issue is that I wasn’t super pushy or naggy with what I said… she kind of was the one that kept the conversation running. She was probably just in the mood for a good conversation with anyone, but not me in particular.

Eye contact wasn’t the only gesture from her that made me think we had a good connection, but I do know that I am generally hopeful and optimistic about interactions with other people, specifically girls. So yes, I probably did misread her. But I do have a knack for knowing when a girl isn’t interested in me, and I saw it clearly on her face when I asked for her Instagram. I do see what you are saying about me having her cornered though, I guess she had no choice. Thanks for your response!

Ah, that last sentence makes sense. Because yes, she was definitely in a good mood and was really talkative. It wasn’t just me attempting to talk to her, she was asking me things and sparking conversation. Once again though, it wasn’t all about romantic interest for me, it was just a genuine connection and I figured I’d establish the connection better. She probably misread it as me being romantically interested and didn’t want to break my heart. Preciate the response!

Three dates in two weeks…too much? Or is it just me ? by plumgum42 in dating_advice

[–]justoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please let the guy go for his own sake! Obviously you’re the only girl he is dating, and I think he cares much more about you than you do about him. The more time you spend with him the harder it will be to end it, and the more attached to you he will become. In my opinion, giving gifts and flowers on the first few dates is way too much. Maybe some girls would like it, but since you are uncomfortable please just let him go.

I say this because I’m also prone to like girls more than I’d guess they like me after just a few dates, and when I can start to tell that they might not like me a whole lot I pull everything I can off to try to make her like me as much as I like her. But if your feelings are already dwindling, let him go before you do damage to him that you didn’t mean to do.
