I F28 met this guy M38 at a pool party. We had conversation about our tattoos or mostly his. Quite flirty or just like that with everyone, not sure. He was decently drunk when we met, but when he found out I was vegetarian, he insisted that he wanted to take me out for a dinner to this vegetarian restaurant as he barely meets any vegetarians in the country we are in (both expats). He said he lived 10 years in India (but later in our sober conversation I found out that he lived in an ashram in Brazil 🙄). Since I am a Hindu, there is definitely intrigue there. We exchanged numbers and didn’t interact much through the night. He seemed like a social butterfly, probably flirting along the way. Then he texted me a day later, and we did meet. It was nice. The next day we went to a music event with one of his friends where he suggested that my texts are quite straight forward (🤷🏽‍♀️) and then he would like to be my friend and that we could build a friendship slowly slowly. This was probably a response to me suggesting that it takes me a long time to consider someone my genuine friend beyond casual / situational friends. I left the country for a bit after but we have been texting on and off since then. I am not sure if he is being nice / flirty or is he actually interested. He initiated conversation and asked me to take pictures of every part of my life back home and send them to him asked things about me, and says things like “get back here soon” and checks in on me after a few days. He has asked for a birthday gift (I left on his birthday) when I am back next week, and would like to meet me for another dinner. I sent him a lot of pictures (which I took specifically for him) and he said he will look at them and get back to me. This was 4-5 days ago, but no response since then. I am just very confused if he is a hoe, wants to be friends, or interested in more? Also, he broke up with one of his ex because he wants to be with someone vegetarian. When he was drunk, he kept insisting that I must want to build a vegetarian family. 🤣 During our first dinner, he has also mentioned he wants to have a partner. I am very confused because I feel like there is a lot of mixed signals.

As the title says, a friend of mine got asked to sleep with her Zonal manager to get promoted. The firm is Zee Learn. She has resigned from the job and is now currently unemployed. She is the only bread earner in her family and has to take care of her mother and younger brother. I'm posting this to ask what can be done in this scenario. I get the idea that this might really common at workplaces, but that doesn't make it right. There must be something that can be done to teach a lesson to cunts like them? It boils my blood to think that tomorrow my loved ones may also get traumatized like this. Everyone says POSH Act this and that, but money and connection buys them all. So what can be done? My friend has complained about it to the higher authorities, but it's not hard to picture that this won't do or change shit.
This is not the only time she has experienced something like this. The job she used to do earlier has also traumatized her like that. She was literally harrassed. Isn't there anything that can be done to change this? Or atleast punish those who think that any woman would sleep with them if they offer money?

One World Championship ok. A new Global aka the new form of the IC Title ok. Junior very good. The Tag and Six Man Titles are nice too, although I've heard those are irrelevant. But now to the rest. Why do you still need the NEVER titles. You have a TV Title now. I don't understand what this is all about. For example, NOAH also only has minimalistic titles
PS:
I approached the topic with the premise of why a King of Pro Wrestling title, but after research I actually find it funny. A friend said more titles = excitement at the events because it's not a normal match but a title that attracts more viewers. But I don't feel the take. I'm losing sight of the prestige
Info: I left out the women's and STRONG titles because I think it's clear that they're a no-brainer in terms of numbers.

I am sick and tired of not progressing. I turned 25 last week. For the last 2-3 years I’ve been trying (very inconsistently) to achieve financial freedom.
I want to be able to quit my day job, that’d mean having an income of around 1300€/month on my own. (Right now my extra income is of around 200€/month)
Most of the time I loose time scrolling, just to finish the day with a 100 tasks sitting on my mind (and notebooks) that I know could help me progress or develop my health.
The truth is that I currently suck big time at being responsible for myself. I am EXHAUSTED.
However every day I show up at work, and at every job I’ve had I’ve been really good at.
I feel like I need: a) a super clear to do / path b) something to own it to to be responsible and do the work.
I am also so good at helping people plan, organize, brainstorm and at seeing the bigger picture for a project. So here again comes my question.
Can we help each other progress?
• I am looking for someone to partner with, & act as personal managers for each other.
Something like: • Weekly call to do our schedules and assess progress. • Helping each other creating clear to do lists. • Keeping each other on top of what’s real, what’s happening, and how much we can do the work each week.
Not only with business development but overall goals. I have interest in learning Swedish & Breathing theory, and just recently started going to the gym (this month I’ve slip so much).
If you think we can help each other out, comment here to connect :) also general advice on how to start or whatever you want to say here is welcomed. This is my first time posting ahhh.
For some context: I’m a certified/trauma informed breathwork coach and tarot reader. I have experience instructing and guiding since almost 6 years now, but in the outdoor industry. Anywho. I decided to focus on this because it changed my life: I haven’t had asthma in 3 years, cured my acne, can now run without dying, sleep great, lost weight, experience presence more often than not, and got out of sleeping 18h / day to avoid being here. I have now guided more than 200 people, I practice every day, people around me are interested in what I do, I teach at a very nice and unique studio in the city.
I work 35h a week as a barista, half of my pay goes to renting a room in Barcelona. I don’t want to end the year this way. I’m Venezuelan, I want to have the freedom to help my parents & friends progress. Can we help each other progress?

I’m 5’10 and weight around 260 in February of last year. I had a few picture taken of me at a party and it dawned on me just how awful I looked. I was doing a lot of research on weight loss / found this sub and decided I need to cut out all my sugary drinks and snacks and really only eat 2 meals with tracked calories (I usually skip breakfast)
Life got crazy busy, got a more labor intensive job and I just didn’t buy a scale so I didn’t keep track. I also moved out of state for work so I didn’t see many friends often. But I saw one friend after almost a whole year and he told me I looked incredible. I checked his scale to see I was 225. I was in disbelief. I had lost so much weight. I remember asking him several times if his scale was broken. It was crazy to see.
I continued with my diet and job for a few months. Bought a scale and when I was around 210 I matched with this really pretty/ cool girl from a dating app. My profile is silly and the stars just aligned in the conversation so I asked her in a date thinking it would be only one date sorta thing. But to my surprise, we went on several dates.
On our fourth date I told her I enjoyed spending time with her because she’s really cool she said I was cool too and it helped that I was also really cute too and I just remember not understanding what she meant (I know it sounds dumb but I have low self esteem) but I couldn’t grasp that she thought I was cute. I went home, processed the comment, and wanted to cry lol.
Just a nice memory I had. That was about 2 months ago and I’m around 202lbs now.

I was with my ex for nearly 2 years we come from a culture and religion where marriage is the ultimate and we don't just date for fun. The whole relationship was a whirlwind and I'm not usually a trusting person but with him he was telling me he loved me a 2 week into the relationship. Needless to say the rest we moved very fast constant dates constant soppy I love youse and I really could be myself around him, he was my first real relationship at 25 he was 24.
Within maybe 2 months I noticed he would lie about stupid silly things which really bother me because I hate it when people lie I caught him out a few times and he would cry and say he couldn't live without me and I would always end up staying,, I had a bad feeling one time and contacted his ex girlfriend who said they were still in contact now I'm not sure whether she lied about that or whether he lied. Regardless I continued to be with him as he cried and said she was lying then I found he was sending pictures of other girls to his boys group chats with really horrendous messages on what he wanted to do to them and would say it's 'boys banter' it did get toxic and became a cycle of lies crying and me being moody. He was unemployed when I met him and I worked really hard to do his applications and prepped him for interviews which resulted in him getting the job he wanted. it wasn't all bad we had some really good times too and that led us to get the families involved to get married his family didn't like me because I was from a different caste and he essentially fought to get married to me. We were so close our deposits down on venues and everything and had our wedding in 5 months. Something in my gut wasn't right and I did some digging and found something else out and before you all start on me for going looking for issues I asked him numerous times to clarify everything so I could draw a line but he just wouldn't and I kept finding things out. I met him 2 days before dooms day and we talked about our honeymoon our wedding and I told him about some health issues I was having and under the care of neurology. He told me he loved me and would never leave me. 2 nights after we argued and I deleted him but this time was different he didn't contact me or anything the next day I contacted him and he was a different person blunt rude and dismissive I asked him to meet me so we could talk in person he came and was just different I was crying whilst he smirked and told me he needed space because it was all too toxic. That same night he messaged other women he met someone 3 weeks after me and told her he loved her within 2 weeks she was his auntys neighbour and his sister in laws friend who were suprise suprise from the same caste. 2 years on and they tied the knot I'm still not over it and people are sick of listening to me crying about it I'm sick of myself doing that all I've done this past 2 years is cry and miss him every day I'm at a point where I don't even want to be here anymore so I can avoid feeling like this. Not to mention I gained weight in the relationship and after due to emotional eating I haven't dates since I've been to therapy numerous holidays nothing works. I have adhd and awaiting medication for that but I feel like I'll never get over it whilst they got married and moved into their new house living their happily ever after

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a fundamental strategy for attracting organic traffic to any online business, and dropshipping stores are no exception. In a competitive e-commerce landscape, effective SEO can distinguish your store from the countless others vying for consumer attention. Here's an in-depth look at how SEO can play a pivotal role in driving organic traffic to your dropshipping store.
1. Understanding SEO for Dropshipping
SEO involves optimizing your website to rank higher on search engine results pages (SERPs), thus increasing visibility to potential customers. For dropshipping stores in India, which often operate on thin margins and face stiff competition, leveraging SEO is crucial for sustainable growth.
2. Keyword Research
Keyword research is the foundation of any successful SEO strategy. Identifying the right keywords helps you understand what potential customers are searching for. This involves:

• Long-Tail Keywords: These are more specific phrases that potential customers might use, such as "affordable ergonomic office chair." Long-tail keywords often have less competition and higher conversion rates.
• Product-Specific Keywords: Focus on keywords directly related to your dropshipping products. This ensures that your store appears in searches for the exact products you offer.

Effective keyword research tools like Google Keyword Planner, SEMrush, and Ahrefs can provide insights into search volume and competition levels for your chosen keywords.
3. On-Page Optimization
On-page SEO refers to the practices used to optimize individual web pages to rank higher. Key elements include:

• Title Tags and Meta Descriptions: These are the first things users see on SERPs. They should be compelling and include your target keywords to improve click-through rates.
• Header Tags (H1, H2, H3): Properly structured headers help search engines understand the content of your page and improve readability for users.
• Content Quality: High-quality, informative, and engaging content is essential. Product descriptions, blog posts, and landing pages should provide value and include relevant keywords naturally.
• URL Structure: Clean, descriptive URLs that include keywords help search engines and users understand what the page is about.

4. Technical SEO
Technical SEO ensures that your website meets the technical requirements of search engines. Important aspects include:

• Site Speed: Fast-loading pages improve user experience and are favored by search engines. Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights can help you identify and fix speed issues.
• Mobile Optimization: With the increasing use of mobile devices, having a mobile-friendly website is crucial. Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it predominantly uses the mobile version of the content for indexing and ranking.
• Secure Website (HTTPS): Security is a ranking factor. Ensure your site uses HTTPS to protect user data and improve trust.

5. Content Marketing
Content marketing is a powerful tool to attract and engage your target audience. By creating valuable content that addresses the needs and interests of your potential customers, you can drive organic traffic and establish your store as an authority in your niche. Strategies include:

• Blog Posts: Regularly publishing blog posts on relevant topics can attract visitors searching for information related to your products.
• Guides and Tutorials: Comprehensive guides and how-to tutorials can drive traffic and build trust with your audience.
• Product Reviews and Comparisons: Detailed reviews and comparisons help customers make informed decisions, increasing the likelihood of conversions.

6. Link Building
Backlinks from reputable websites signal to search engines that your site is credible and authoritative. Effective link-building strategies include:

• Guest Blogging: Writing guest posts for popular blogs in your niche can earn you high-quality backlinks.
• Influencer Collaborations: Partnering with influencers can generate backlinks and drive traffic from their audience.
• Broken Link Building: Identify broken links on other websites and suggest your relevant content as a replacement.

7. Local SEO
If your dropshipping store targets specific geographic areas, local SEO is essential. This includes optimizing for local search terms, creating a Google My Business listing, and encouraging customer reviews.
Conclusion
SEO plays a crucial role in attracting organic traffic to a dropshipping store by improving visibility, driving targeted traffic, and enhancing user experience. By implementing comprehensive SEO strategies—including keyword research, on-page and technical optimization, content marketing, link building, and local SEO—you can increase your store’s online presence, attract more visitors, and ultimately boost sales. In a competitive dropshipping market, investing in SEO is a vital step towards long-term success and growth.

Ok. I (30m) will start this out with my wife(27f) left me a month ago. We had been growing apart for quite sometime and I was blind to her trying to get me to notice. We have a 2 year old son together so it was almost like I was giving him attention/being selfish and doing what I wanted to decompress after work. We weren’t very intimate. We would go months without sex(my fault). We have had arguments in the past whenever I had watched “adult content”. The day she left I was going through her phone before work and found she was talking to one of her male friends on a daily basis more than me. It was going on for weeks so I got mad and decided I was going to watch some “ adult content”. She caught me and left to her moms while I was at work. She wants us to rebuild from being friends first and seeing where it goes. She wants us to be single so she can have fun and not feel guilt about having to tell me every detail about who shes with/doing with them. She said she still loves me but doesn’t know if she can get over everything. She has a new friend(also male) that has gotten into the picture. They hangout a few times a week. He comforted her one of the nights we argued. She told me she used to have a crush on him before she met me. She’s since been flirting with him/ getting drunk with him and her best female friend. She says she wouldn’t get in a relationship with anyone unless she decides for sure that she can’t forgive me. I try to give her attention everyday since she left. We even had sex a full weekend after she left. But she doesn’t want us to get too “comfortable” with each other again by letting me stay the night with them. Anyone else made it through something like this? Or am I alone and screwed?

19,f never went out with friends. not that im not an outspoken or friendly person, got a pretty good friend circle extremely talented supportive and hardworking people. they go out all the time and dont have to constantly update their parents on slightest minute plan changes.
first time getting along with people and them instanly making plans of going out was weird but in a jealous weird and questioning. it was later i figured their parents do not ask every detail of their day, who they met, what they had, why were they 5 min late. they dont pick and drop them everywhere they have schedules. and it was after a week or hanging out that i realised, it was me living a diffent life than everyone out there. and it broke me cus that was the point i realised that in the name of protectiveness and security and ease in commutation, they just snatched my independence from me.
they provide for me and i cannot begin to thank them enough for it, pursuing a professional study and doing good at it, always supportive. but that day i sat down and got to a conclusion that if i were to upset my parents or do not do things how they want me to do, i'd lose everything. and that has happened. asked to go out with friends, note that all of my friends come from dignified background humble and kind and educated and themselves are pursuing professional studies. never asked them before so expected there wont be a problem. was in dilemma that i dont go out cuz i dont ask to go out. often picture myself as a bird in cage unaware that shes trapped unless she tries to get out. yea so access to outside without them denied. reasoned a bit on why not. they got mad and yelled and said pretty harsh things. i was in school then and it was for the teacher's birthday. we loved her dearly and she was moving out of country. i was sure they'd let me so made plans and everything cancelled last minute cried whole evening and night. that was when it started. when the bird realised she isnt in a room but a prison.
gave a couple more tries here and there. same answers. silent treatments. refused to enroll me in the course im currently pursuing initially, calling it a financial issue. and yea there were and are financial issues but hey, grasped what was going on and did everything their way. cut ties with everyone except two friends who theyve met plenty more times than others and did as they said. regular classes, not questioning them, spending time with them. enrolled and in classes after six months.
met a guy and he was good. wanted to take me on a date. i knew they wouldnt let me go. took it slow and introduced him as my friend. asked me to cut ties with him. i kinda liked him. we had good undertanding he's help me with studies and confide about his family and life in general and i thought i can date. i wanted to date him. see where it goes like every other teenager who go out on dates after classes and study and support each other. they didnt wanted me to see him or anyother guy even as a friend. deleted every guy friend of mine's contact. we still were seeing each other until i got so burnt out of the constant watch and professional studies and competitive exams also all while managing a degree. had to break ties with him for a couple while and i admittedly couldve done with proper explanation but it was a panic attack, yeah i did starting having them right after school when everything crashed down, so panic attack with all tears and snot and heavy breathing i leave him a text that i cant do this.
fast forward today. exams done. some professional practical work everyone has to take up and my father as usual would pick me up and drop me. yesterday a friend of mine suggested we buy new books and get some food after work was done which is 1:30. i thought now that im old enough, cus the last time i tried asking was 16, maybe i can go. they said yes when asked in morning. 1:45pm text comes in. where u at. when will you be back. gave a location where he'd pick me up after we're done with books things. im at metro station, shaking, holding that ticket beacuse it was all over that again. they let me go but did they? call comes in when i dont reply in 5 minutes. he asks when will i be back upto. on saying by 4, he went why books need so much time. denied that i ever mentioned lunch too. i remember saying lunch and books. couldnt argue, not used to, dont want to upset them. two of my friends waiting for the metro so we go grab lunch and spend some time for the first time in about a year since we met, and im shaking cus its so humiliating and like. this close to crying when he hung up without saying anything further and mum texts in 2 mintes asking me to come back home rn this instant. manage to apologise and run through the station, get a cab and run home in 20 min. 2:20pm. at home. i dont if im though. in my bathroom. crying shaking of embarrassment, humiliation, guilt, frustation, anger. and hunger.
also, crossed path with the guy i was seeing. he had his guitar, he used to play for me after completing studies. killed me to pass by with just a hey and by the looks of it, he was upset about it too. everything keeps falling apart everytime i accomplish one thing.
i dont know if this is how parenting is supposed to be done because none of ppl i know have such parents and controls. so its not normal but is it abusive? i question and then go to sleep cus the obvious answer would disrupt the peace im holding on to. the good side of them keeping me sane.
if you've taken much time to read it through. thank you. i dont have anyone to share this with and im so lonely at times like this

I've lived very spoiled because I have always been a good kid and straight A student until adulthood. My parents would grant me my every wish. I am 30F. But only problem is they are so critical of everyone I date. They expect me to marry a good man. but they have also scared so many of the men I've truly liked. Those men who want to marry me only want me because I am a "good girl". It's creepy and it makes me feel weird.
I don't believe in relationships or love anymore. I just want to date someone they wouldn't approve of.
My background: my family is involved in politics in Mexico and I have to represent them. If I post a risqué picture they say no that's not classy take it off- even if just showing a bikini. I don't ever post bikini pictures. Once I liked a guy with tattoos and my grandmother through a fit. She screamed at me. I cried that whole day. She said I shouldn't date any men with tattoos. I am traumatized of trying to impress them. If a guy comments on my pictures someone would say, "take that comment off, he looks like a low life." My mom never allowed me to date the guy who I truly felt something for and felt the same way, she said it would "devastate my family and he wouldn't be allowed in the house. That he would only break my heart. " I've cried so much. There is so much pain in my heart.
When I went to my dream club in Mexico my uncle told my cousin and his best friend to keep a close eye on me. They hired bodyguards. We had a VIP front table and I met some actor and asked of a picture but every guy who would ask me to dance would have to ask my cousin for permission but they would leave to do c0ke in the restroom and I had my chance. but It went to the extent that if I wanted to go to the bathroom, the security said no you cant go alone. Until I told them this is enough this is too much. Let me be!. Then my cousin got into an alteration with a guy who was giving me a rose. And once his best friend asked me on a date, my cousin went behind my back and told him to "stay the fuck away from her." My cousin simply said, "he's into drugs, he is no good for you." It was an amazing night except them getting in the way of who I date! Why can't I have that crazy moment and wild moment with a guy. I met someone I truly connected with that night but my family scared him away.
all the best kisses I've ever received were there in Mexico in clubs. but then I would get paranoid and look around and thinkg what if someone knows me or my family and they talk. I am still so innocent I haven't even seen a guy naked or French kissed anyone. that is why I go for the "bad boys," because my whole life they kept trying to arrange me to date and marry men they approve of but some of them have been the worst men I've ever met in my whole life!!! I want to have an adventure with someone not have sex but just learn how to kiss and learn about men's body. But everytime I date someone I keep thinking "will my family approve of them." I care so much about what they think. But they will run their mouth anyway. And what if my type is guys with tattoos who smoke. I am tired of pretending. I want to learn how to French kiss with one of those guys. Why is is to bad
I usually cry every other night to sleep when I remember who I used to like who they didn't approve of. He's moved on but you cant help but think the what ifs. and I don't drink but I have been drinking more to numb this feeling

Sooo hello people of reddit, 2 days ago I cut my finger on a knife. I was holding it and my finger slipped over the handle on the Blade with full force. I could look through the cut and after a few seconds it started bleeding pretty bad (dripping down my finger on the floor) I wrapped it up in a paper towel and fixed it with some tape and after 20 minutes it didn't really bleed anymore. I have a plaster on it now.
It didnt hurt too bad then and it doesn't really hurt now, only shen I touch it. The cut and the area around it hurt soooo bad when I just lightly touch it. It doesn't look deep on the photo but it is
My friend told me to go to the doctor and I asked something like german quora if I should go and they all said I should go to the doctor. My mother though says that I already had Worse stuff where we didn't went to the doctor (we probably shoulďve).
Do you think I should go? I'm scared it will get infected or something
(few of the pictures are the ones I sent to a friend that's why I drew over it)

A friend of mine ( 29M, no medical history of note) moved here to the UK from Eastern Europe two months ago. He recently started taking Vitamin C supplements. I met him yesterday and I saw he was scratching himself all over. He explained he has experienced the following symptoms:
-2 weeks after he arrived, he started to get itchy all over his body, mainly arms, legs, shoulders, ankles, wrists, hands.
-The itchiness comes from minuscule blisters (2-3mm or less) that appear all around over his body. They are extremely itchy and are fluid-filled.
-He scratches them, the fluid comes out, and the small blister then scabs over.
-The blisters are often in clusters of 2 or 3, distinct but very close together next to each other.
He tried to take antihistamines but they didn’t help much. He suspects it might be either the new detergent he washes clothes with or the water of the hotel he stays in. I also mentioned possibly insect bites from the bed? Or else dishydrosis (but it usually only affects the palm of the hand or sides of fingers or sole of feet).
I had dishydrosis myself and the blisters looked very similar, though obviously in different parts of the body, which makes me doubt it is that.
What could it be? Any suggestions? I want to try to help him. Unfortunately I didn’t take any pictures. Thank you.
