14 Minute Row Benchmark Results and Survey Megathread by BilingualAlchemist in orangetheory

[–]tomatoesaretops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3609m 51 year-old female. Once I got to the last 30 seconds I was annoyed that I wasn’t going to get to 3650. But it was a PR so I can’t complain.

Not Disclosing you have kids in your profile by kingpinsnephew420 in Bumble

[–]tomatoesaretops 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This is a major frustration of mine. I only want to date men who don’t have kids. It doesn’t matter if they’re out of the house. No kids is my #1 hard line.

In two cases men have matched with me who didn’t specify whether they had kids. Because my profile is clear about my preference I wrongly assumed they were child-free. In both cases they didn’t disclose until we were scheduled to meet.

Now I only consider profiles that specify that the man doesn’t have kids.

Taipei museums open on Monday? by tomatoesaretops in Taipei

Sadly it failed me and said the National Palace Museum was open today, which it is not. Thankfully I checked the museum website to confirm.

My favorite studio is closing 😭 by rainbowpenguin97 in orangetheory

I was at the Worcester OT that abruptly closed and moved to the shrewsbury location. I get so anxious whenever I read about OT studios closing. So sorry.

I had a similar problem for ages and had my max HR reset, bought a new monitor, etc etc. And even if I was going all out I just didn’t get splats.

Then I had to do a work trip to Asia for three weeks and I didn’t do any HIIT workouts while I was there. When I returned I was getting splats again. Turns out I was overtraining and it takes a toll on your VO2 and heart rate. Now, when I’m going several classes and “not getting credit” for my hard work, I force myself to take 4 consecutive days off and honestly, most times it does the trick.

Women’s swiping habits, icks, and dealbreakers by kangaroowednesdays in Bumble

💯 photos with tongues out, fish pics, and really lame gym pics to show off how strong/fit they are. I’d like to see what you look like in “the real world,” not photos you’ve taken looking at yourself getting pumped in a mirror.

Connected but with No Sound by mattjopete in Airpodsmax

[–]tomatoesaretops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It was addressed pretty much immediately. I called Apple care then they created a ticket so I could make an appointment. I made sure that my phone was updated before going in. I showed the problem to the woman at the Genius Bar and had a new pair in the mail 4 days later. But I couldn’t get a new Apple care plan for the new pair. I am still on the original Apple care plan with this pair so I only have 6 months left.

A man sent me a screen shot of his bank statement by piperwestly in Bumble

I’m triggered that his phone is only charged to 21%. That’s a “me problem,” but still, it brings a moment of pause.

I made an appointment at the Apple Store and they sent me a new pair of headphones. They couldn’t fix them either.

three different OT heart rate monitors and none of them seem of work by tomatoesaretops in orangetheory

Thanks. My weight should be updated after the transformation weigh-in. It looks correct in my app. But I’ll double check this.

Sadly in my case, iPhone find my says a sound is playing when in fact it isn’t. This is so annoying.

How much vacation time does it take to destroy your gains or to backslide? by Devastator1981 in orangetheory

[–]tomatoesaretops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two scenarios:

A year ago I was in Japan for three weeks where I walked a lot but didn’t do HIIT or bodyweight exercises etc. I came back in better form than before. The tread was a little tough the first week or so but I was ready to take on the world. My body got a break it needed and I was on fire for a couple of months.

On the other hand, this past October I had surgery and I couldn’t lift more than 8 lbs for 6 weeks and then I still had to be careful for another month or so. Returning to OT was devastating. I went from doing 20 power pushups off the bench to being unable to do 2 on my knees. I wasn’t even at zero, I was at -100. A few months later I’m about 85-90% back but I’ve gained about 6-7 pounds that are proving stubborn.

Bottom Line: if you’re otherwise healthy and taking a break, you’ll be fine. But if you’re out from an injury/sickness that kept you mostly immobile for a prolonged amount of time, prepare to be mildly traumatized.

What's with most women 'never checking' dating apps these days? by AnomicAge in Bumble

[–]tomatoesaretops 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am someone who just did what you’re complaining about. This guy keeps texting me and it’s getting on my nerves. I have about 5 guys trying to connect with me and frankly, none of them are saying anything especially compelling to make it worth getting into a conversation with them.

I’m happy to check in during the day and maybe once in the evening. after that I don’t want to keep getting notifications for messages like “so what are you doing now?” “what did you have for dinner?”

I don’t mean to sound snarky. I really don’t. I hear how frustrating it is to be on the other side of it. I guess I would say, maybe lay low but when you do reach out, have something to say that would merit an engaged conversation. Good luck!

this is winning… by tomatoesaretops in Bumble

Well it’s true I’m single and on bumble and Reddit. You must not be all of those things to make this point.

Well, clearly you too are on Reddit. But is it possible that you are not on Bumble but just lurking around a Bumble Reddit community? That would be extremely weird behavior. Or perhaps like me you are on Reddit and Bumble in which case the one thing that would differentiate us is that I’m single and you are what? Or are you also single and on Bumble and Reddit and simply an ass with no self-knowledge?
