This was my favorite yoga instructor at @equinox . I struggled in my first class but he smiled at me and said, "Keep coming back." And i did. He's challenging, supportive, and encouraging. I hope @equinox gets him back on the schedule. I'm up to 3 classes a week and find that when i dont do yoga, i feel off-balance. I had a terrible last two days, but i took a class today and immediately felt better about myself. That's what yoga does for me. It makes me feel stronger and like i accomplished something. I needed encouragement and class today gave it to me. I left feeling lighter and more confident. #yoga #fitness #gym #focus #balance #dontquit #strength #nyc
Friday’s downpour was not going to stop me. I headed out into the rain, determined. As always, Nick (the instructor) was there twenty minutes before class to set up the studio with lights and music, unlike all the other instructors that waltz in five minutes before class starts to fiddle with their headset. Class begins and it’s everything I hoped it would be. The degree of difficulty in Nick’s class is a smidge above my regular Vinyasa classes. He always mixes up his practice so students don’t get bored, plus he throws in several challenging poses.
Everything was going swimmingly until I heard a melodic ding of a text alert and then an annoyed hiss from the left side of the room. I ignored it and focused on the instructor’s calls. A bit later I hear the instructor, in a very calm voice, say, “Take that outside, my friend. Not in here.” I look up to see a guy standing up holding his phone.
More hissing from the left.
I don’t know if they guy was checking a text or turning his phone off or what. I didn’t really pay attention because I was too plugged into the class. The moment was a blip in an otherwise perfect class. Five minutes before the cool-down portion begins, the woman to my right gets up and leaves the studio. I’ve mentioned this before: I find leaving a class early to be rude and disruptive. Your mileage may vary on that.
Class ends and I’m feeling centered and relaxed. Then I hear it again.

LOL …. you really have a whole narrative mapped out here.
Here’s another scenario:
He’s pissed because he thinks she treated him poorly. He sends Venno bill as a passive aggressive “fuck you”. Moves on with his life.
Hmmm .. I wonder which of our two scenarios is more statistically likely?
Nice how you ended your rant with a call to violence. Hypocrisy at its best.

Speed isn’t far off with his theory. Read the linked story and do some Googling. The guy didn’t move on with his life at all. He invoiced her, she refused to pay, he filed a claim in court. Then he took things public and put her on blast on social media. She eventually gave in and paid him because he wouldn’t leave her alone. You’re normalizing something that isn’t normal.

Hey Jimmy – I am all for guys doing what they want, however I wonder if it gets them what they want in the end. I always hear guys complaining about not being able to find a quality girl. But perhaps that’s because they are too busy “doing what they want” and bc they are looking at it as “not bowing down” rather than seeing it as a simple act to make a girl smile. It is all about perspective in my opinion. You can view the “modern woman” as the enemy who needs to be punished, or you can embrace her. Up to you!
Thanks for the comment.

You know what’s great about dating a strong independent woman? She doesn’t need you. She wants you. You always know that. Dinner is a small price to pay for that glorious feeling.
But yeah, I’m with ya on this, Cali. Guys can make all the arguments they want, but real men pick up the tab. Every argument they make is an excuse. And men don’t make excuses. They pick up the tab. And the do it so smoothly, you don’t even know the check has come.
That said, if you want a real man, Cali, act like a real lady. You’re buying breakfast for a guy who you’re fighting about tabs with. There’s a milk/cow thing happening here.

Jessica very good.
You just experience what a man experience the whole life.
You work hard and people seating on you..trust me isn’t fun!
Sorry but this is real life. You arent different from others. You have been just the typical spoil incomplete woman that can’t find a man attractive and be in a relationship if he doesn’t take care of you.
Wrooong! That was your daddy not your man!
If you couldn’t effort why you haven’t stay home with him a chatting on the couch.
Men don’t get from women anythingh of what the own fantasy imaging expecially sexually.
Example : Having sex with a hot stranger is a unbelivable experience for a man. Everyman should try.
A woman must wait 3 weeks or months before intimacy.
A man at that point has lose 80% of his creativity.

In my last post, I mentioned that, in part, my long hiatus from blogging was due to feeling "sick of being single": I felt like a hypocrite.
But Eleanore of The Spinsterlicious Life wrote a delightful comment which inspired me to write more about the very thing which prevented me from writing.
Being single is an adventure -- especially if you're someone who has never been single and suddenly finds yourself there or if you've lived a life where you've never felt comfortable with being single but suddenly realize that learning to be comfortable with being single is the most important thing you can do for yourself.
When I started this blog 3 years ago I was excited at the thought of learning how to be happy and single. I was fresh out of a pretty sketchy relationship with my former therapist. (Duh, bad idea, right?) I was still in and barely coming out of a deep-down-supper-shitty, bad-as-its-ever-been low point. I was upset with myself for making yet another bad decision when it came to a relationship (or relationship material) and upset at the universe for all the time and space I had wasted in my life wishing for some Knight in Badboy Armor to come trotting into my life only to rip my life out of my own hands and trample it under his sexy horse.
But after being single for 2 years, the gloss and struggle of singleness wore of. There was a honeymoon period that I had with myself and it was over.
But I loved the community I had found through Singlutionary. This blog fed my soul and my fellow bloggers were a rare light for me during a very difficult time. I felt sane and comprehended and like I was a part of something important when I wrote and read and commented and conversed in the singles blog-o-sphere. So I kept trying to keep this blog up.
But I was bored. I was bored with everything. After a traumatic experience, it takes a long time to feel stable again. And at first that stability is like this great and wondrous thing. It feels SO GOOD.
And then it gets boring. Suddenly, stability is taken for granted. I wondered what was next? What would I do with my life now that I had my life back in my own hands, mended of horse hooves and heartbreak?
I needed a new real life friend, some intellectual stimulation and a job that didn't suck.
And I wanted to be with someone in a sexual/love relationship because THAT seemed like the new adventure. And because I'd finally got enough confidence in myself and in the world to think that being in a relationship could be a positive thing -- as long as I did it Singlutionary style.
Well, the first relationship was a disaster of needyness. I was Singlutionary and the other member of this relationship was Needilutionary. It was over almost before it began, but not soon enough.
I was so glad to be single again after that 4 month 1st try.
But I hadn't had sex in over 2 years and I was on the prowl. But THAT story is the subject of another post.
The point of this post is that even if you're totally happy and comfortable with being single, sometimes you get bored. Sometimes you're bored because your job is boring or because your friends are all old farts or because you're an old fart and only like to watch old episodes of The Wonder Years on VHS and think about the olden days.
Sometimes you're horny because you haven't had sex in 2 years and you've just turned 30.
It is OK to crave a new adventure! Sometimes this adventure means going offline for a bit, or quitting writing for a bit. And sometimes this adventure means trying out that thing that we're all about doing just fine without -- a relationship.
What adventures are you craving? When do you know that you're entering into this new adventure not out a desperate need to get away from where-you-are but because you're ready to share where-you-are with the world?
