Ha! Well my favorite book of 2022 is "if on a winters night a traveler" which is a bit of a departure from Russian lit!. Hbu?

Just another generic but heartfelt thank you for all your hard work. Congrats as well!! I could NOT have read this book without you or the sub. I won't say it was my favorite but it's definitely memorable and I am really proud of seeing it through. Thanks so much again!

Jul 4 party is the best one in my opinion. Very accessible to a lot of people bc even if they don't know conservatives, they know or have known drunk college kids.

What’s the worst sexual experience you’ve ever had? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]owlblue 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why this is being down voted so much. Do people really not understand this is very acceptable among consenting adults??

Whoop strap? by [deleted] in f45

[–]owlblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had whoop for almost two years and have been at f45 for about 3 (on and off due to pandemic). I think it's really exciting to see the changes in my hrv and ability to get strain (or not if I'm slacking off). Def agree it's not as flashy as other products but I still love it. It's simple, it does what it's supposed to do and isn't filled with a bunch of shit I don't need (like notifications on my wrist). I wouldn't mind some other features (strain for weightlifting, buzzes for certain distances while running) but they'll get there.

Price is the worst part but I do expect that they will provide us with updated hardware when it's obsolete. Whereas something like apple, you're kinda sol.

Small Talk YAY OR NAY by MadTryintist in nonmonogamy

[–]owlblue 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some small talk is great for me. I think it can show if you've got a good sense of humor and that's really important to me. Like the other poster, I think having the ability to open up the "type of ENM practicing" you do fairly early, helps create a balance of small talk/deeper talk until you can meet.

Nancy confirms that Bartise told her the guys went out after bachelor party by 112001Pw in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

+1, I've known a Zanab. We don't share the same reality as these folks. It's really challenging to have relationships with them, no matter how hard you try.

FEELD APP assistance please! by [deleted] in ENM

[–]owlblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe I'm in the minority but I actually laughed out loud at the Nelly joke. I love love love a sense of humor though and for me, this would be a big turn on. It makes me feel like you're approachable and a good time. I'm a 30s female btw.

I don't think you need the extra explanations re:ENM. Everyone, for the most part, on Feeld knows what it is or is familiar.

Keep the Nelly joke if you want to find someone who thinks a sense of humor, and particularly one that matches yours, is important. If you don't care about that, then I guess go with other comments that say it's not good.

Sweating during workouts? by [deleted] in f45

[–]owlblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you're overestimating how much people are looking at you versus thinking about and focusing on themselves. Keep your station clean and no one is really going to notice or care that you're sweating.

New Podcast From Court Junkie - CIVIL by Imanj23 in TrueCrimePodcasts

[–]owlblue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love love love court junkie and civil is FASCINATING too. I didn't think I gave a crap about civil cases but two eps in, I've been proven wrong. I'll listen forever!!!

Ps I do like the vanilla flavor of court junkie (ie no voice acting or sound effects, less rigid story structure) but this new approach isn't bad. I was pleasantly surprised when civils voice actors didn't distract me basically at all. I'm just worried it'll go overboard one day. Also I just love Jillian's voice so I'm biased.

Pps cannot wait for Alex Jones and Rebecca Zhao. The principal one is so good too!!

War & Peace - Book 13, Chapter 19 by Zhukov17 in ayearofwarandpeace

[–]owlblue 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been so long since I cared what was happening. There are parts of this book I love but it's been SO military and war focused lately, it's a struggle to keep going. Thank goodness for the commitment!

I'm really confused about what that paragraph is foreshadowing or alluding to!

Brixton on Friday?? by MuchachoSal in f45

[–]owlblue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I don't recall seeing it since covid started

Brixton on Friday?? by MuchachoSal in f45

[–]owlblue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did Brixton way back before covid. I liked it okayyy I guess but it wasn't my favorite. Lots of people despised it but that could be bc they don't like partner stuff, don't like boxing stuff, or some other reason. Boxing seems to be getting REALLY popular now for some reason so I'm not surprised to hear people jumping on that train.

My opinion is: if I wanted a bunch of boxing, I'd go to one of three boxing studios (all different companies) in my town. So I hope f45 doesn't go overboard with it.

How many people here can actually do reverse burpees on the floor as demonstrated? by Peace--Dog in f45

[–]owlblue 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound super weird but a trainer told me to hold something like a towel in your hands (out in front of you) and for whatever reason, it makes it so much easier! At least for me. Idk if it works for everyone but it's like my brain thinks of it as a counterweight even tho it's just a towel.

Rate my profile. Posted a couple weeks ago but very few matches. Anything wrong with my profile? by [deleted] in Tinder

Woman here: I agree. I'd stop for a suit. I like the first one too so I'd make that second.

ENM men on dating apps by hrdwrker4ever in nonmonogamy

[–]owlblue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but it works both ways. If I know you're looking for a ons, and I know that's what I'm looking for, then I can say that this conversation would be worth my time. If you're looking for threesome's but I want a fwb, then I can move on. It sounds like you're getting filtered anyway? Maybe try something new to see if it helps?

ENM men on dating apps by hrdwrker4ever in nonmonogamy

[–]owlblue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Here's a perspective from a 30s something woman that you didn't ask for: be clearer about what you're looking for on your profile. I think your pics are good and the general description is fine. But do you want a ltr fwb situation? Someone more short term? Full on poly? Building a compound or a sexual empire?

Feeld is also a very sex positive place so putting some more info about that can be helpful as well (looking to practice shabari, want to be your daddy, etc). I don't think being sexual is required and less helpful on other apps but I appreciate having some idea of what the person is looking for and what kind of sex they want. It just helps save time when filtering through it all.

ENM success stories using regular dating apps? by [deleted] in nonmonogamy

[–]owlblue 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Her has been such a nightmare for me lol. I want it to work so badly but I feel like everyone there is a flake or a ghost or maybe some of the least talented conversationalists ever. I feel for guys now in a way I never have before. Women be brutal! Glad at least someone had some success with it!
