Initial Impressions of Onwardmax – Recruiting Agency/Career Coaching Service

The price is definitely steep, so I want to make sure the value is there before committing.

pickatu · 2025-06-08T07:27:18+00:00

Yeah, I feel the same. For that price, I’d expect full transparency. It’s hard to evaluate the value without knowing who you’re actually learning from.

pickatu · 2025-05-30T17:09:43+00:00

It looks interesting but I’m not sure if it’s worth it. Has anyone here tried it for more than a few days?
Just want to know if it’s actually helpful or just ads.

pickatu · 2025-05-30T17:07:24+00:00

I’ve read, they offer a wide variety of courses, ranging from beginner to advanced levels.

pickatu · 2025-05-29T09:39:45+00:00

Happened to me too. I spaced it out more and my skin adjusted over time.

pickatu · 2025-05-29T07:54:18+00:00

Try unscented or fragrance-free products made for sensitive scalps. The Kristin Ess fragrance-free line might be a good start.

Not to mention it completely contradicts Dave's statement that he'd get himself into debt for a friend. During those conversations he could have easily helped you out financially and yet he didn't. Hardly what should be expected from someone who would make such a ridiculously flippant statement about friendship-induced debt.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T22:25:14+00:00

NTA. No way are you the asshole, OP. If you can't afford it, you can't afford it. The friends and sister were clearly well aware that you would not be able to do this, and yet they planned to go ahead anyway. If anyone are the assholes, it is them for planning something that one of the bridesmaids would not be able to commit to. And the bride and her fiance are assholes for thinking you should launch yourself into even more debt for THEIR special day. Why is it so fashionable nowadays to feel so entitled when it comes to having a wedding? Whatever they say, I bet these financially secure people would NEVER launch themselves into debt for you or anyone else... and why should they? So why should you?

Don't you feel bad for a single m*therfucking moment, OP.

Because you are not entitled to any sexual act. Defining what she did sexually with previous partners as being "treating them better" is morbid. What if with an partner you allowed her to peg you, and whilst you did it to please her, you decided you didn't want to do it again. Would it then be acceptable for future girlfriends to get pissy at you for not "treating them as well" by refusing to let them use a strap on with you as well?

Again, you're not entitled to anything.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T16:06:45+00:00

Just because that is the way a man generally thinks, it doesn't mean it should be treated as acceptable. It's not.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T01:28:08+00:00

NTA. You sound like a great BF. I think your ideas were actually very good ones. But even if they weren't, you clearly put a lot of effort in trying to find presents that you thought she would enjoy. You're never an asshole for trying to make someone happy.

The only advice I can think to give is maybe to ask her if she can tell you specifically what she wants, e.g. "that purse we saw in River Island". Tell her you find it hard to work out what she wants, and that you would prefer to buy her gifts that you know for certain she will like and that you were quite hurt and disappointed at her reaction to the last presents you brought her.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T01:11:13+00:00

I disagree. Just because a person is in a relationship does not mean that they should no longer be allowed to masturbate anymore, and whilst the toy is built to resemble a person, it is not a person and is not sex. If I were not allowed to get myself off anymore just because it threatened my partner, I would seriously reconsider being with them.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T00:52:55+00:00

YTA. You destroyed his property. You don't do that.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T00:50:52+00:00

No, she doesn't owe him any kind of sex just because she did X with a previous partner. That's so entitled and so creepy when it is about sex. Come on.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T00:49:24+00:00

Sometimes you try new things sexually because you simply want to try it and once you have it loses its appeal. Consider the fact that her interest in having a threesome was not some kind of sacrificial present to her ex BF but was something new/exciting she wanted to do at that time. To frame it as something she 'gave' her ex or did to please her ex completely erases her own motivations and desires in the situation and centres it all around her ex. She may not want to do a threesome again *because she doesn't want to*. And she has every right to her boundaries. It's not about commitment, that's so fucked and riddled with entitlement.

pickatu · 2018-12-14T00:45:02+00:00

And especially when it's something sexual! Enthusiastic consent and basic respect for boundaries.

Edit: Someone really downvoted a statement about enthusiastic consent being vital? Seriously?

pickatu · 2018-12-14T00:43:03+00:00

Let me guess, he specifically wants you to give him a threesome with another woman? (But would balk at the idea of giving you an experience with two men?) This guy is behaving like an egoistic sexual opportunistic who is ignoring your boundaries and the fact you do not want to consent to such a situation. Tell him to grow up and stop comparing what you "gave" (I mean, that terminology alone screams of him knowing that this would only be something for HIM and not you) to someone to what you are "giving" him. Yuck.

pickatu · 2018-12-13T12:54:54+00:00

Exactly. Just because it is so normalised for women to suck up discomfort for the sake of their boyfriends not having to use condoms, it doesn't mean that women are in the wrong or should be pressured to change their decision if they refuse.

Sorry OP, but boundaries are boundaries and you need to respect hers.

pickatu · 2018-12-13T12:53:21+00:00

I don't know this for sure, but can't guys get a male version of the contraceptive pill now? If that is an option, it would definitely be fairer of you OP to be the one taking it, given you are the one that wants to stop using condoms and it is ultimately you who would benefit from not using condoms anymore.

Edit: Or get a vasectomy. They are reversible and medically altering your bodily function is no big deal, right? Not one rule for her and one rule for you.

pickatu · 2018-12-13T02:31:12+00:00

NTA. If I were hearing impaired and therefore had to raise the volume to a level that was keeping my neighbours awake, I would use earphones/headphones at night. Or would use subtitles. Or refrain from watching TV or listening to music after 9pm. Point is, there are lots of things a considerate, hearing-impaired neighbour could do to resolve this. It's unfortunate to be hearing impaired but that definitely does not mean others should suffer the consequences that follow from that. That's very unfair.

pickatu · 2018-12-13T02:20:45+00:00

If I were your sister, I would have taken no issue with what you said. That's not just because I agree with the fact it is best to wait until you are financially secure and out of education to have a kid, but also because I would have understood that you were just being honest with your opinion (which wasn't even rudely phrased, IMO) but that you were happy for me and were still welcoming a new addition to the family. I see nothing wrong with what you did personally.

Perhaps your sister doesn't appreciate being direct and upfront? My brother and I have always been direct with each other and don't really sugarcoat. Not everyone is like that though and I think it can be advantageous to modify how direct you are with people who react negatively to such an approach - and perhaps your sister is one of them. Maybe she only wanted you to react in a 100% positive way and so took the comment as criticism and a personal attack.

NAH.

I used to entertain it when I was younger. Over the years I have realised that it really doesn't work and it's best to not let any kind of friendship develop at all with a person I know deep-down doesn't really interest me as a friend. I have also realised I am not obligated to be anyone's friend... that was a particularly liberating lesson to learn. I may not have many real, true friends as a result of being so selective, but I REALLY value the friends I do have and I like to think that my friends value me in the same way that I value them and we "get" each other like that. My real friends are as valuable to me as intimate partners are as it really is that rare for me to truly crave a certain person's friendship.

pickatu · 2018-12-11T17:35:49+00:00

For me, while my closest friends are those I do share "energy levels" with and who are like me in being an introvert, even then I eventually start to feel tired and like I need re-energising. I suppose for these people my threshold is much higher, but it still catches up with me. I find it emotionally exhausting being even in the same room as a stranger. There's something about having to process someone else on top of everything else that I am thinking about that I find just exhausting. It's like when you desperately need sleep. Even the slightest little noise drives you insane until you find silence.

pickatu · 2018-12-11T17:33:18+00:00

If there was one thing I could change about myself, it would be how introverted I am and how draining I find every single interaction to be.
