Oh, yes... that rocks!

Lately, it’s been this one:

It’s a fucking nightmare to spin to and maybe that’s why I love it. I can’t help but ride to the beat and if you’ve ever been on a spin bike, you probably know what I’m talking about. Maybe it makes me smile because it takes me back to when I could tell FUCK! With my friends in a dark room? I don’t know. It just gets me every time. It’s also insane for boxing drills.

For general smile music, Todrick Hall. This brings me a specific smile: https://youtu.be/TQ04gPb4LlY
Girl, what did that girl say?

AveryElle, glad I dropped in here for some PLP and found your post :)
The YouTube video "Blinding Lights" :heart: by Weeknd took my breath!
Thanks for the link...
Love - Always,
Eros :kiss:

Advice. Do you offer it freely, wait to be asked, or ask if they want it? Which do you do and which do you prefer?

I'm way too gobby about this and I really shouldn't be :/
I'm trying to be better about not offering unsolicited advice. Definitely there might be a time to ask if it's welcome if I feel it's potentially important, but probably mostly I should just wait to be asked.

For preference to receive? Unsolicited is generally okay, but only once or twice. Not like a string of things (memories here of the last time I was cooking alongside my mum, and... yeah. I got ratty after the 8th 'suggestion' she made!). If you know something I should know or that would benefit me a lot, please do ask me if it's welcome. And... yeah, I'm often asking people for information or advice, so it's good to get it when it's requested, if they are willing.

Depends. Mostly on their maturity. If they are immature, I give it. They won't listen anyway...and then 6 months later when they are begging for help, I remind them of what I said...then I turn and walk away. The best lessons in life suck donkey dicks.

Otherwise...I try to keep quiet until a door is opened

It depends who the advice is for.
My children, they get advice whether they want it or not :D
Professionally, if I feel it’s beneficial to that employee I’ll give it freely but with tact. If it’s part of a therapy session I’ll ask for permission to give that advice.
I’m happy to take advice and I’ll always listen. But it depends who the advice is coming from and if I feel it’s good advice, that will rest on whether I take it on board or not. I really like hearing others interpretations though it’s always food for thought.

I offer it more often than I should, being a relative dumbass. :rolleyes:

I'm far more likely to ask if they want it if I feel unconfident in my own opinion.

I should keep my mouth shut more, if I'm being honest with myself.
 
Work stuff, yes I offer it if I think it will be heeded.

Personal stuff, usually not unless it's asked for.

I offer it too freely and probably shouldn’t. Advice, given and received, is often a trap. There are people that know way more than me you should be asking for advice from. I am honest and I’m not sure if people like that, so I really want to just stop.

I don’t really ask people for advice. I do want to know whether what I’m wearing looks stupid but that’s not really advice. I don’t trust people (except for my dad) enough to take their advice.

Despite the First Amendment, I don't "freely" give advice to anyone... unless it's to my children :D

I seldom "ask" anyone if they want my advice; guess I'm a little insecure that way. :rolleyes:

If asked for my advice, then yes, I will usually give it. But even then, chances are I will temper my words - out of consideration for their feelings... :devil: unless it's my kids! Lol!

When I was young, I gave advice freely but as I aged & had family of my own, I now give people their opposition's & let them make their own decisions.

That depends on the situation. In general, I give it when asked for it.

Lately however, one of my Roommates keeps putting himself into positions where he isn't understanding the scope of the situation, and I am finding that I am having to give him advice, that he really doesn't want to hear. It has lead to some positive outcomes, and some negative outcomes. It has been difficult to just not straight up beat him with a clue by four, but that is a different matter all together.

My daughter gets "advice" weather she wants it or not. At work, it is also "advice" . It's often better to do it my way. In life though, with friends, I generally only speak on something I've experienced or am knowledgeable about and only if asked or the subject comes up.
I do like to randomly tell strangers their outfit or shoes look good. That's not really advice.
 
A colleague of mine asked me a couple of weeks ago what I thought about her outfit. I didn't like it and I told her so, and also explained why I didn't like it.
She didn't liked my answer. It was a "I don't like it" day, I suppose. :rolleyes:

What's the best sexual compliment you've ever recieved?

OK, this one's a bit weird. My first partner said some things that really hurt me (notably that being with me left her feeling 'cold and empty'), and it was a later partner (now an ex), who, when we were talking about our past relationships, said that it definitely wasn't the case for her. Given she wasn't overly sexual, that meant a lot and went some considerable way to wiping away the confidence issues I'd had.

Not terribly graphic, not especially salacious and not speaking to anything in particular, but it felt kind of healing and confirmation that I was okay :)

IDK the definitive answer on this question and its also a suprisingly uncomfortable one to respond to but I will.

Most commonly sexual partners have commented on my eyes

I’ve received complement on my … appendage

Probably the most surprised I’ve been was in marital consoling when my ex commented to the therapist that I was very good in bed. She surprised the hell out of me with that comment.
