hi !!

i notice when i do back exercises that have a hard time actually feeling it in the targeted areas on my back. i barely get sore and during the exercise i tend to feel it more in my triceps. am i doing something wrong/ any tips on how to feel it truly in my back ?

some of the exercises i do:
rear delt/reverse flies, lat pull downs, seated rows machine, back extensions (this is the only one i properly feel)

i also just want to add that i am a girl who is pretty active and has a normal healthy body, so im not a beginner in exercise. am i a full on gym and supplements bro ? no.. but i have been active and done sports my whole life.

let me know if you got any thing for me ! :)

okay so i just want to say that liking women is a newer thing for me, and im not quite sure how to read them romantically quite yet.

i’ve been really close friends with this girl for around 3 years now and i can’t tell if she maybe has feelings for me. part of the reason im asking is that i think i might be catching feelings for her and i want to know if this is me reading into things that aren’t there.

some of the clues/signs:
one time she was over at my house and i had needed to change (i forget why). i change in front of all my friends that im close to and they do the same with me. so naturally while she was talking to me, i walked out of my closet putting a shirt on. (i dont remember if i had a bra on) anyway, she kinda paused/stuttered in the middle of her sentence with a quick glance to my chest area. this happened before i realized i was gay so there were not any of those thoughts happening yet, but i still noticed she did that. i did not make a deal out of it at all as i thought i maybe just took her by surprise.

The next thing that i noticed was that we were playing tlou 2 together ofc late at night and she had cuddled up next to me. this is not unusual for me, i am a physical touch person so any of my friends could do this and it wouldn’t be weird. however, while i was playing, i saw her stare up at me (this was out of the corner of my eye) for about 30 seconds without break, she was leaning on my shoulder at this point. i was too scared to look back so i kept playing like i didn’t notice

Third thing: when we went out to the bar together she got VERY touchy feely on me (i was not uncomfortable with this at all just an fyi). we were both happy drunk and she would keep grabbing me around my back and waist while we were singing and dancing and it was just something i noticed as she never touches/grabs me like that. now mind you, she was drunk.

i also one time tried to test the waters by giving her more of a seductive glare (sounds so cringe) one time while i was laying on my bed while she was sitting on my bed, and i feel like she kind of started to cheese and blush a little.

some background on her:
she has told me before that she is “open” when it comes to dating, she doesn’t necessarily label her self as queer but she says shes down for whoever will treat her right. irl, she leans more to men though hasn’t been in a romantic relationship. as per online, she is really into gay media. she also has no gay friends (other than me) in her circle.

also some of these things happened after i had told her i was into women. are these actual signs or am i reading these incorrectly ? let me know your thoughts as well as what i should do going forward please ! be brutally honest !!

hi !!

which facial piercings tend to scar the least ?

i do know scarring is quite subjective but are there piercings that are inherently worse ? i would love a few facial piercing but i am worried about major scarring. i already have a nostril as im not worried about scarring there and i wanted a septum but i do not have the anatomy.

i am open to any facial piercings so just dump it on me ! also for reference i am a pale leaning caucasian (i know scarring can show up differently on different skin tones)
