I would not go so far as thinking people would be OFFENDED, that would be way oversensitive! I guess it just runs along the lines of those rear windshield stickers with the mother, father and 2.5 children. So, you have a perfect nuclear family! Good for you, who cares! LOL It’s just the “me better than you” thing that sticks out for me. At least that’s the way I’m thinking some people MIGHT interpret it. But maybe I’m overthinking it.

I don’t have a problem with the sticker, but you need to question yourself why you decided to put it up to begin with. Clearly to get some kind of reaction, no? The sticker is kind of snarky. It’s not like it simply says “My wife loves pole dance.” It compares one wife (boring, conservative, maybe kind of prudish) with another wife (sexy, outgoing, a bit of an exhibitionist). I’m not saying you’re one or the other, but this is what the sticker implies, so people will most likely have a negative reaction for this reason.

Lazarenka, you can do it yourself! You dont need a boyfriend. You’ll do it! Just have trust in yourself.

I don’t have the Brazil shorts but I have the Go Go shorts. Maybe they fit similarly. I am 110 lbs and have 34 inch hips and the small fits me almost perfectly…maybe just a touch loose. Maybe this will help you determine your size. Interestingly, the black shorts are cut lower than the colored ones. At least mine are.

Ab exercises….ab exercises…ab exercises….thats all I can say. If you can’t do a yoga plough yet, you need to strengthen your entire abs, upper and lower.

At what point does one feel comfortable and safe being inverted? What I mean is, I know you’re supposed to eventually let go of your hands and hold on with just your legs. When I’m up there, I don’t even feel safe holding on with my hands because I don’t feel like I have a good grip (could this be due to the thickness of the pole?) especially when you have to wiggle your hands down. Does this just come with time and practice?

Wouldn’t rubbing alcohol work?

@PolarGirl and I hate when people say “guys are visual creatures,” like that is some excuse for not having control over their behavior. Give me a break. Besides, HUMANS are visual creatures, men and women.

@emajyne Glad you discovered the culprit! I feel like this every month, for ten days at least, and each and every time I think, “I must be regressing,” when nope, just getting my period.

I have never worked at a strip club, but deciding to work in one because you “get objectified anyway” seems like a poor excuse to work in one and a knee-jerk response to the frustration you’re feeling.
You say that working in a strip club would put you in control. Who is to say this will be the case? The customer ultimately has the control of whether you will get tips or not. You seem to be in too fragile a state of mind to be able to play the game successfully and without being emotionally charged in the process. You’re sure to meet jerks who will look down on you and try to touch you because they will have alcohol, their buddies and you will be in a profession where you are being paid for being objectified.
(Before anyone says I’m looking down on strippers, I’m totally not. I think it takes a person with a thick skin to be in that profession and it is not for most people, is what I mean.)

Are you getting your period? I get like that around that time of the month. I dont feel like doing anything, much less exercise.

Congratulations on getting your invert!!! I have a question. When you go into an invert, especially a V-invert, do you feel scared that you will lose your grip and fall backwards onto your neck? This scares me so much.
-
You’re not alone. I have these same fears. It took me a while to get comfortable doing an elbowstand, and now I’m learning handstands. I can kinda sorta do one against the wall and I can do one against the pole but only because I am flexible enough to reach the pole with my foot and hook it.
Inverts scare me because I feel like my hands will slip or that I’ll let go with both hands and come crashing down on my head breaking my neck. I dont know how people are able to let go and hold on with just their legs.
So yeah, being upside down is a huge problem for me too.

I think, though, that as soon as one starts expecting something from people, one is going to be disappointed. People generally disappoint. I’m not saying one should always think the worst, but accept that things usually aren’t going to work out the way you envisioned them.
Much of the living we do…actually, ALL of the living we do….is inside our own heads. How much happens on the outside compared to how much happens on the inside? How much does your own perception color how you view the world and others’ behavior?
What is it about your behavior that regularly attracts these kind of people? Maybe it’s just bad luck, or maybe it’s something else.

I think you ommunicated very well in your original post (besides the pole part) 😉
