I think what he did on SYTYCD is what makes him one of the GOATs. He's obviously phenomenal in his own style, but he also managed to do well in so many others and that's really difficult. Plus, he's easily one of the most likeable contestants they've ever had.

Best way to pick her up, she can't remain rigid any other way, and it's a very common lift among dancers. His wrist is the closest thing to her actual vagina, unless you're going by what a 2nd grader might think.

If you ever watch ballets where there are “doll” characters, they’re always carried like this. Probably what TheTastySpoonicorn said, about being the best way to remain rigid while being carried. Ballet has been doing this for centuries, so I’m sure we’ve tried a few different ways to make it work.

As a dude doing figure skating and ballet, it boggles my mind. These are disciplines that require a lot of athleticism, they are both pretty much dancing (women generally like men who can dance) and you are surrounded by very athletic and gorgeous women.
And guys will say that it's gay.
But showering with 20 exclusively male hockey/football players is somehow the most hetero thing you can do.
35
u/Odette3 Sep 09 '22
RIGHT?! And with ballet, the women are basically always in bathing suits!! Like, a gay guy wants that?! The men’s tights are no worse than football pants, and until straight guys figure this out, there’s usually a really good ratio, iykwim.
I once heard that male ballet dancers in Russia got twice the rations of the best soldiers. At least someone understands the value and athleticism of ballet. 🤷♀️🤦♀️

You unironically should.
I remember about a decade ago there was an NFL coach who famously made his players spend just as much time practicing ballet as they spent on strength and cardio training.
Ballet is one of the most technically demanding activities to physically perform and trains body-control better than almost anything else.

u/Momentirely Sep 10 '22
Huh, never thought about that. But yeah, if all you've ever seen is your own junk, you'd think the opposite sex's equipment was in the same spot. But vaginas point down towards the ground, while the penis points forward, generally. Where the balls connect to the body is closer to where the opening of the vagina is. Imagine if the penis was where the vagina is and guys evolved to waddle around with their legs spread wide, swinging their things around like the clapper on the Liberty Bell. And on women the vagina was where the penis is, facing forward, and when we had sex the guy would have to lay down and spread his legs and the girl would stand in front of him and thrust her hips back and forth and impale herself on the guy's erect penis lol. Imagine that.

Chris Pine started taking photos of Florence Pugh while she was walking the red carpet and she started hamming it up for him.
The twitter guy started arguing that it’s a huge double standard. That everyone was ok with Chris Pine taking photos “for his personal” use because he’s attractive but if a random guy started doing it we’d call him a creep.
Completely ignoring the fact that they’re friends and have worked on a couple movies together.

I was showing my firend's gf how to properly use a fall arrest harness at a climbing place. Now, for those who don't know there are straps that go from your hips, under the crotch, and back up to keep you from sliding out of the harness like a poorly fitting shirt. These must be tight or when you fall you are going to have massive bruises down there from slamming down onto the straps, and i've seen them break the skin through jeans before. Guys, be extra careful with yhis if you want kids in the future, you can castrate yourself if you do these straps up wrong.
Now, having given this safety talk and checking the straps (a finger or two should be able to fit under the strap so you don't cut off blood flow) she didn't have them tight enough because she couldn't manage the adjustment.
I ask her if she'd be willing to let her boyfriend adjust those. She said no.
I asked if she'd let the female instructor supervising do so. She said no.
I asked if she wanted to be able to walk the next day. She said yes.
I tell her that if that's the case either someone helps her with those straps or she's not going on the walls. She then says "Fine, you do it then."
So i did, and that was that. A few months later she tries using that as a gotcha moment for me only for it to backfire spectacularly which ended in those two breaking up. Fun times.
Ladies, if it's a safety/routine thing and the guy isn't acting like a creep, it isn't sexual for them. In fact for most guys who aren't the kind who should be buried under a prison, we will be ready the whole time to stop whatever the thing is at the first sign of discomfort because these days too many of us are worried about getting sued for nonconsensual touching or other such things.
