I lost my spark for playing TT

Ahh, so we’re back to this now, good. Like I’ve already said before, which you also realized yourself, you can’t prove it is bad. And I meant to say bad, because anything that makes you feel worse can be considered bad, thus you saying “making it harder to date” is part of being bad, unless you like it to be harder. But since you started this how debate, it’s obvious you don’t like it harder, so we can just apply common sense here. This means what you said there just don’t make sense, because they’re really the same thing, just different words, meaning you thinking one is easily answered while the other can’t be, is wrong. Also the murder analogy is wrong analogy because even though it is an opinion, it is also a commonly agreed upon that taking life away from living things, is bad, and it’s especially true when that living thing is a human. While what we’re discussing is whether it’s a good idea to “teach your significant other stuff they don’t know”. I say it can be done that benefits both entities, and have been done. You are saying it shouldn’t be done, and no one should try.

Okay, the first thing is that you said I don't have a scientific proof for it and that therefore it was my opinion. My point is that even saying that taking life away from living things is bad cannot be proven scientifically. This is well known. So asking for a scientific argument why something is bad is already a rookie error. Now you have gone on to say that commonly agreed upon is a good replacement. This is also a rookie error. Just because many people believe or agree with something doesn't make it scientific. My main issue is with the idea that I needed a scientific proof for a statement that was clearly a moral statement and not a scientific one.

Now, just because it is possible for a guy to date a lady and teach her table tennis and have a successful relationship with her doesn't make the idea that teaching a lady one is dating to play table tennis is a bad idea an opinion. It would be like saying that because it is possible for a top level athlete to smoke that all top level athletes should be smokers. What you probably meant was that there are subjective components to the discussion and you have an experience where you made it work. Just as there are top level athletes who have successfully smoked. But Carl, myself and DerEchte discussed some of the reasons why it is not a good idea. Again, it is not that different from arguing that it is difficult to have a steady relationship with a partner who is promiscuous. Can you scientifically prove it, by showing that there are no exceptions? Of course not. Is it just an opinion? Like I said, I discuss these things more with people I know. And since I don't know you and you don't know me, it is better we just leave it at that, as saying politically incorrect things can get you in trouble with people who do not know and cannot trust.

LoL now you want to agree to disagree, what happened when I said it? Ahh I know , you just want to be “correct”. I get you now.

Also, my problem is that you want to say your opinion is a fact while other’s are wrong when they disagrees with yours. And I’m curious how you make a conversation with your girlfriend when it includes information she doesn’t understand, so do you just stop talking or change the subject? Don’t answer, I know, you want to leave it at that, just keep the curiosity running.

actually considering this setup 🤣, but pondering d05, d80, or d64, mind if you could help me recommend? very quick bevcause I don't want to interrupt this thread

D05 if you like spinny loopy loopsie stroke.

D64 if you are those who wants it fast & furious and always in a hurry to finish the game to go get some fries, coke & BigMac at McD across the road where you play.

D80 if you are undecided, unsure, want to play safe both ways which makes you an undecided neither here nor there player.

Oh, I wrote a long time that I agreed to disagree, it's just that sometimes what I write goes over your head,

There is no scientific proof that anything is good or bad,, to make that statement is to misunderstand the nature of science. If thinking anything is good or bad is an opinion, sure you are on safe ground. What you need to ask is whether you are more likely or less likely to have certain results when you teach your girlfriend table tennis. And that is a question that I have data for using analysis of other intersexual interactions, and the answer to it is not just my opinion. Again, there is no point discussing it or sharing it on a forum like this, especially with someone who misconstrues the ability of science to prove moral values.

No, it's not just my opinion, but I don't know you and you don't know me. By all means, treat your girlfriends as you please.

It was when you stated that my analogy was wrong and I said, okay, maybe you may have something interesting to say since you won awards for teaching. But if the best you can do is repeat something I have said three times in different words as a way to save face from seeing that this was never a scientific issue, it is okay.

I never said my position was a fact, I said it not just merely an opinion, just like saying that beginners should not use fast blades is not merely an opinion. But saying that because something is not scientifically provable that it is merely an opinion is wrong. You seem to agree, but cannot state it.

BTW, it is weird that someone keeps talking about girlfriends to people who most forum members know are married. That said, there is no point, no one knows you, that is why you can act like this.

Haha, now let’s see who’s trying to save face. And go back and check the time stamps and who said what.

Well you said you don’t know me and I don’t know you, so I say girlfriend because I don’t you and haven’t seen pictures of your wedding ring or other stuff that states you are married. Also, most forum members is a big claim, how did you know most members know? And of course, right back at you, you can act like this because it’s on a forum. And you talk to those guys about these things and agree on them because you share the same mindset, it’s like a self fulfilling prophecy, your opinion isn’t right just because people surrounding you also thinks they are correct.

Duke & Next, I suggest yountwo go and private message each other if you want to talk about WAGS ( Wives & Girlfriends ) stuff. Too much off-topic already.


Let's focus of Spin, spin and more spin, or perhaps about rubbers and blades ( EJ'ing are welcomed )

I hought buying new equipment would help me get motivated again for table tennis, but sadly it doesnt.
After i start climbing / bouldering als lost my motivation.
I hope after a break it will come back, i force myself still going 1 time in a week to the training.

Losing interest or pleasure in activities or people that once gave you enjoyment, may be due to overworking, relationship problems or being in a temporary rut. However, a loss of interest in many things or people, that is ongoing, can sometimes be a sign you have a mental health condition. 😱

funny....i was an avid climber/bouldering until i fell 17 feet....twice...and severely injured my back. it was a long 4 year road to recovery. table tennis was one of the saving grace's God put back into my life. I'll never go back on the wall, unfortunately. just too risk for me. I will enjoy walking on the slackline though.

Which one goes best with the fzd szlc?

Try playing long spikes on the backhand. Just don’t take your usual racket with you to the gym, but only spikes. Perhaps the first time it will be terrible, the second time it will be better, and the third time the love of table tennis will definitely return to you.
Table tennis will open from a completely different perspective. Moreover, the return to smooth overlays will then also be very sharp.

yeah...EJing would make one stuck with TT forever

Before I put on my glasses, it looked like you said EJ would make you SUCK at TT forever, which I was strongly inclined to agree.

 

[Choosikick]

what is EJing?

 

[hclnnkhg]

what is EJing?

Equipment Junkie i.e. keep trying different equipment when there isn't a real need to do so.
