You should have asked him how much his bench press is. All girls care about is how much a guy can lift. I read that somewhere

I posted back in december about how awesome my gym is -
They randomly knocked down and stripped out the spin cycle room, moved the cycles elsewhere, and added this:
We already have 6 squat racks, 4 deadlift platforms and more calibrated weights elsewhere. Thereās even a 25 meter stretch of turf with a prowler. Iāve been considering joining the YMCA where my son does soccer for the discounts and the fact that the only pool I have access to is the other one in my gymās chain thatās a half hour away and this one would be 5 minutes away, but every time I think about it my gym does something else awesome.

I did that informal, very simple survey of who ever chose to participate, and the overwhelming majority of women who responded were lying.

This reminded me about the most amazing lat machine Iāve ever used. Ran across it in Texas and I need one in my life. I could fly in a matter of weeks of using this thing. Wings for days.

I believe yes, Iām very affirming. I really never shut up, and I feel very positively toward him, though of course did not during the argument, which lasted a bit (the marital chill) because I wasnāt willing to let it go and wasnāt willing to argue during the work week. When he said what he did we were actually in the fixing-it phase. That I didnāt chase him for closure is a change for us, so maybe that unsettled him.
I guess Iāll just chock it up to āweirdness not otherwise specifiedā and forget about it.

Yup - there are high, mid, and low rows with those hammer strength machines - my gymās got all of 'em. That one is great - with my long arms I actually grab the top of the flat bars because I canāt get a proper stretch with the handles.

I get what youāre saying. Completely.
On a separate note (or it could be related but whatever), people in 2017 were telling me the safest place for my crypto other than a paper wallet was on an external hard drive. I didnāt want to put it in the external hard drive because Iāve had some really shitty experiences with the really good thumbdrives containing really important data fucking up.
I wrote before that I had an external hard drive that was doing the āclick of deathā thing and the only way to get my data back was to go to a company that does this shit and itās still not guaranteed that the data will be retrieved and I have private data there that I cannot show any 3rd party because of NDAs and shit and itās not important enough to spend the kind of money these assholes are charging.
THAT WAS THE ONE I WAS CONSIDERING PUTTING MY FUCKING CRYPTO IN AFTER I WAS GIVEN THE ADVICE ABOVE.
Itās a pretty fucking expensive one from one of the top brands. It still died. Didnāt even use it much other than when I needed to transfer a copy of some business stuff but theyāre the unimportant ones. Like certain unused āB rollsā and outtakes for ads that I can use later for the same clients. My important shit is all stored in the clouds. Not the crypto. I store my crypto in some other form that Iām not gonna say.
As for the hard drive. all Iām going to do now is put it in an airtight bag or something and store it and wait for some tech geniuses from Eastern Europe to come up with a way to get my data and sell the software commercially in the near future. The probability isnāt high, but itās not low either given the speed tech is advancing IMO.

Is it written on a stone tablet hidden in a lost jungle temple somewhere in in SE Asia?

Fuck, I thought no one in the world would figure it out. But Iāll have removed it and placed it somewhere else by the time you figure out which lost jungle itās in!

Personally, to my mind, his comment definitely sounded like it came from somewhere specific. If it was me, I know I would appreciate my wife coming to me and asking, āX comment caught me off guard, and Iād like to understand where that came from. Can you help me understand why you thought that?ā
Just a thought.

Hmmm. Who could possibly end up with your key code?

I actually finished my post with āmaybe Iāll bring it up this weekend,ā but then edited it out, thinking it might reignite the original issue. But youāre right, it needs to be addressed. I think thereās a strong possibility that he wonāt have any idea himself where it came from, but weāll see. I can certainly take the opportunity to tell him that heās the exact weirdo I want.
Aging is hard, yāall. Thereās a lot of insecurity, I think particularly for those of us whoāve been accustomed to some level of remarkable. While my husband has never been a fitness guy, heās had his nephew and his friend group trailing along after him, calling him āa beast,ā which he is, for his entire adult life. Heās mentioned hair loss a couple of times lately (past year or so), so maybe thatās it. Heās used to identifying as bulletproof. Remarkable.

Every man here wishes they were a tall bodybuilder.
That sounds like a generic āIām feeling a little bit insecureā comment, along the lines of āwhat, do you wish youād married a millionaireā. It would be more concerning if heās said ādo you wish I was more like your exā or some specific person.
Temporary weirdness not otherwise specified would be my professional opinion. If I were a professional. Or knew him or you enough to have a useful opinion.

I confess that Iām feeling really detached from my classes and activities this semester, even ERC
The classes part make sense: repetitive and boring. What bothers me is that this detachment is happening to ERC
Iām definitely not burnt out.
Maybe it has to do with my friend (that one), but if so, Iāll have to add the additional confession of being irrational
On that topicā¦ I do not understand why my friend (that one) is so disproportionately important to me. All he provided was Econ discussion and maths help. I have friends for maths and everything else as well as actual friends (female friends)
All too human
That can be tough when little hints to the contrary, or at least how theyāre taken, creep in.
Or big hints. Depending on how strongly tied to your identity physical strength, self sufficiency and prowess are, that can be existentially painful.
Of course, this is drawn from my own experience, and may not apply.

I havenāt dabbled in crypto, but I can relate to the tech-induced anxiety. I am very particular about what I allow to access my data.

Donāt get me wrong, I enjoy training in the early morning rather than the afternoon but, something about eating breakfast at around 2:30 or 3 am is just so depressing. The world feels so empty at that 2 am - 4 am, I am obviously/definitely not the first person to experience this though.

I will often train fasted for those early morning workouts so I can eat an even bigger breakfast afterward.
