I don't see much the point: cotton breaks easier than polyester, is not as expandable as spandex, cotton absorbs moisture, whereas polyester keeps it out.

Maybe I'm wrong?

I bought some leggins for running, cycling, stretching... for winter (sale) and summer.

The summer ones have some translucent bits on the back side of both knees.

There are other summer leggings, completely closed from the same brand that I didn't buy because to me those bits are well placed to get rid of moisture, and are more expensive than the completely closed ones. Maybe the seller used my naivete to convince me to buy the ones with translucent bits?

So, fashion or function? because to me the completely closed ones are more fashionable.

The closed ones are cheaper than the ones with bits, so I assume the ones with bits are better

be patient, because I don't know what the right word is: I mean the visible fabric of some summer leggings where everybody clearly sees that the fabric is porous in some parts, so humidity and heat escapes.

Absolute noob here regarding leggings, Im thinking about returning my asics winter leggings due to this, unless you tell me this is a stupid idea and Im gonna need al the heat I can save during cold weather and winter.

I basically want to use them as regular sport pants to run, walk, cycle, stretch and given that I have to walk a lot for my job, I may use them daily as a first layer, so my legs don't hurt as much as without them. I'd also like to use em with nothing on them, because they look good like that with no lines (where I live I only see men with the leggings on, with nothing to cover their crotch). The regular pants I have are very loose, I'm tall and skinny built and I always have trouble finding the right pants: long enough to cover my legs and thin enough not to waste too much fabric. The leggings I'm testing (asics, nb) seem to do exactly that.

I'm not going to wear them on social occasions but I may do the groceries with them on.

do you think male athletes are going around with thongs on?

I have no idea, these are my first leggings.

About your link, that's what I meant with double frontal seam, the under armour male leggings like these, but those look like underwear, so the only way to wear them is with running short, right?

[–] lompedtfre@feddit.de 2 points 5 months ago

well I see 4 vertical seams: 1 left, 1 right, 1 middle front and 1 middle back. Online I've seen some leggings have 2 frontal seams around the manhood, that's what I meant.

so you go commando?

 

Im a male trying on several black leggings for running, stretching and cycling, I've never bought anything so tight. Im skinny built and have tried new balance, asics and adidas. My questions:

I've read some more expensive leggings have not a single, but double seam at the front side (crotch), whereas most simple leggings for men and women have just one seam in the middle. Should I return the leggings I bought and buy only the ones that have 2 seams at the front to better accommodate my manhood bits? I’ve also seen that expensive adidas leggings have just one seam at the front so, maybe I’m overthinking this?

Im not going commando or wearing sport shorts over the leggings because it doesn't have any purpose, except to drag you down when running, and look unflattering, even my boxer shorts make it look a big silly, because people notice them on my leggings, so I’m thinking about buying a thong, but I don’t know what brand to look for, if cotton would be better than polyester or if I should buy a V string or a G string.

The adidas I bought are cross high waist and are for women, however, I don’t see why I shouldn’t buy them: they sit good and aren’t too tight on the waist (seller told me leggings for women are wider on the thigh and smaller on the waist, but to me they look and sit good and the knit is softer than the other ones I bought, I like them. Am I going to regret keeping them?

Any other tips you have, welcomed.

I prefer a window seat and have never had to pay extra for one.

how did you do that?

 

airline offers both the qr code and the boarding pass as a pdf (but I don't have a printer at home). I screenshot the qr code (front and backside) and downloaded the boarding pass to my phone. No services from google were used.

I screenshot the qr code three times because Im afraid quality won't be good enough and I still have to ask: Is the picture quality good enough for the kiosks? Do agents simply check if there is a qr code and the name of the airline and let you board? or do they scan the code?

I've been assigned a seat right before the wings in the middle of a 3 seat row. Is this a good seat? Because I've heard people prefer frontal seats (rows 1 to 15), because engine noise shouldn't be as loud and to choose a frontal seat is more expensive than a seat at the back. I'm not really convinced, because if you have a seat at the end of the plane, you are among the first to leave the plane. Being next to the wings means you have to fight other passengers to board and leave the plane. Is really that calmer at the front side?

Have you ever deliberately checked in physically to get a free window seat? A friend of mine did that and he got it.

 

This post is going to sound very similar to my last one, but now I only want to make sure I can check-in online from my desktop, download both the qr code and boarding pass as a pdf file to my phone and then either board the plane showing my phone with the pdf boarding pass to the agent or use my phone and the pdf qr code with the kiosk to print the boarding pass and board the plane.

I got all steps right, right?

Everything I can do with the airline app in my phone I can do with my desktop, right? The airline app is the same website with a different format, it doesn't give me anything special, right?

 

At airports, I've always waited in line to get a printed boarding pass. Time for a change I guess.

Apparently I can check online and print my boarding pass as a pdf at home or even download the airline's app and get a qr code to print the boarding pass at a kiosk inside the airport. Do I need an active internet connection at the airport to use the kiosk? I wont have internet there.

My airline explains they can send a pdf copy of the boarding pass to my email address. Is it really not a problem to print my boarding pass on regular office paper and not on cardboard airlines use?

If I download the airline's app to get the qr code to print the boarding card at the kiosk, will the airline spam me with ads I don't want?

Can I both print the boarding pass at home AND get the qr code to print the boarding pass at the kiosk?

Apparently there is something called 'receive boarding pass by sms'. How does this work?

thank you. I appreciate the feeling.

I guess I also have to learn to ignore randoms who post whatever they assume as correct. It stings that posting a legitimate question triggers some people to post accusations, but that's something neither I can control.

I don't get why they want drama.

never thought of it like this

what question did I ask twice every few days?

trying to stop being so thin skinned:

I had an online discussion with a random, we had a short but intense exchange until he replied and then blocked me, robbing me of a chance to reply.

I feel hurt because I couldn't reply. To me that means he won. I feel insulted and angry.

Yes, this is something I should talk to about with a shrink, but the therapist I contacted hasn't replied yet, so I might have to start looking for a new one if this one ain't reliable.

In the meantime I turn to the second best thing I can think of: this channel.

I can try to rationalize it: I cannot change it, I'm letting that guy live free in my mind, letting it go is the rational thing to do.

Except that here I'm not being rational, but emotional and I don't know why this triggers me so much.

Not having the last word triggers me. How would you solve this?

today was supposed to be my first day of therapy and the therapist didn't show up. I'm pissed off. I wasted 2 hours for nothing.

I've sent her a polite message, asking if she's sick and hoping she is well, but in reality I wanted to yell at her. However, if I yell at her, chances are she won't treat me.

Before you suggest to find another therapist, finding a shrink where I live is very difficult and the other ones I contacted have either ignored me or are overbooked. I need therapy and it bothers me to be so dependent on one person.

For those of you who have experienced something similar, how doesn't it bother you?
