Signs of Stress
Doing some deployment training... they've updated their "signs of stress" from what was listed in previous years. I hear some saying… why is she posting this? It does not apply to me. I thought that once: When I was nursing my son, my milk was beginning to dry up and my hair was falling out. I conferred w/the nurse about…

Not sure if I like him 'in that way' or not
About 2 months ago, I moved to start my postgrad degree and I got a transfer to another branch of the store I worked at back at home. There's a guy who works on the same department as me and we work the same shifts (Thursday nights and Sundays, with the exception of a couple of hours on Sundays). Before we met (he was on…

I can't keep up!
How do you single working full-time parents out there keep up with the bills, the housework, the job, the appointments for yourselves and your kid(s), the cooking, etc. . I've got a messy house, a messy car, a pile of unpaid bills, dishes in the sink, laundry piled up, piles of stuff from the school I haven't looked at. .…

Why do I keep choosing players?!
So I started a new job (within the same company) about 2.5 months ago. I LOVE it. I'm exhausted because of being short people, but it's almost all in place. I'm working with a new merchandising team in hardware instead of the rugs and curtain I used to work with, so you can imagine it's a lot of men. One caught my eye…

shy peeps
Any shy single peeps out there? I know a lot of people on single peeps are very outgoing and will just go up to people and talk to them, but I know there have to be a few shy people out there! I was thinking of making this thread tonight because when I was at the store, I saw this really cute guy my age walking, and I…

65,000 dollars in matchmaking?!?!
Did anyone hear about this guy Larry Greenfield? He's out of New York, and has spent 65,000 dollars on matchmaking services and over 250 dates. He now is blaming his matchmakers for not finding appropriate matches, while his matchmakers have said that his problem is that "he's a six and he wanted a 10...." who is a slim…

Why are you a Single Peep?
Not why are you single, but rather why do you find yourself coming back again and again to the Single Peeps board? Curious what the draw for some is.

Forgiveness?
So .. I am really struggling with something. I am a very forgiving person .. it is Gods way. The more I forgive people, the more it seems they take advantage of that forgiving nature and just continue to treat me in a way they wouldn't others with a non-forgiving nature. I see it in my work place and in my private life.…

Even Honey Boo Boo's Mama has a boyfriend
Can't remember if it's one of my IRL friends or one of you MFPers who said it, but kudos to whoever told me last week, "Even Honey Boo Boo's mama has a boyfriend... which made me feel bad til I realized I'd rather be single than have a man like THAT."

To all the strong and independent women here..
There has been a lot of debate back and forth between many of the women in this group and some men.. and some of it has really gotten quite unfriendly (it is probably wrong that I also find it terribly amusing, right?). But ladies.. whether or not the aforementioned men are putting forth what you believe are…

"strong" women
I have been seeing lately pretty much all the women here labeling themselves a strong woman but what makes you a strong women? What type of women do you consider to be weak? I know a lot of woman that will consider women in their same situation strong but will look down on someone else who is to me equally strong just in a…

Is he immature or am I being too picky?
OK guys, so I've been seeing a guy for about 6 weeks. We met on match.com last February and became Facebook friends, as I was hesitant about meeting him for timing reasons and some concerns about little jokes he'd make (slightly perverted). Anyways, he did seem like a really nice guy and we want the same things, so I…

A Machiavellian Guide to Dating Quality Women
From reading posts here for a few months, one thing seems clear: women will settle, whether they want to admit it or not. Because what they are looking for, above all else, is someone who truly loves them. Sure you have to be a nice guy, and reasonably decent looking (depends on the woman, obviously). But the good news is…

What makes you YOU?
Following is a quote from DM from another thread about a possible adoption scenario: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/756481-seriously-he-said-that I respect that the above quote is DM's opinion and he has the right to live any way he would like. However, I've been thinking about this idea and cannot imagine holding…

Halloween costume ideas
So I love going out for Halloween and dressing up for parties and such. Now that I am feeling even better about myself losing weight and such, I am looking for something original and memorable to be this year. So here I am, to gather some ideas. It would be a plus if it is something I can assemble from a resale type shop.…

Are you willing to settle?
A friend asked me tonight just how bad I wanted the husband, children, white picket fence life? He asked whether I'd be willing to settle for someone less than my ideal in order to get it. Like most, My first reaction was HECK NO! I couldn't imagine tying myself to someone that I didn't feel strong chemistry with, that I…

Lease Time
This has been a year of firsts for me. Newly divorced (as of 9/27) but separated since 5/11, the changes just keep a coming! I have lived in a house I owned for 24+ years. This has it's own set of issues, one of which is NOT deciding whether you want to stay there another year. Lease time is upon me and kind of upsetting…

My male dilemma: HELP!
The two men my heart concerns: My best friend and my close friend a thousand miles away. Those are two dead ends. Anyone else ever get cornered like this?

Intimidation
Okay, let me start with an apology. My intent in posting this thread is not to offend anyone. Stir up a good debate? Maybe. Ask an honest question in search of the truth (out of curiosity in the psychological reasoning)? Yes, I have heard it said many times and read it a few times on this board: "Men are just intimidated…

How impolite is it considered....
If a man is exceptionally hairy...like on his chest.... exceptionally....hairy:) To ask him to trim it or offer to do it in a fun....non insulting manner. Hair isnt a big deal...but I now know what some ladies mean about dental floss. It just kills the snuggle mood :(

Interracial dating w/ kids.
I have absolutely no issue with interracial or inter-ethnic dating, as I have dated numerous Spanish women over the years. I always express an interest when it comes to learning about their culture, food, language, etc. More often than not, it's always been a positive and fun experience. The problem I have is if they…

2 Questions.
1. I thought of this in the shy people thread, but, seems to be a lot going on in there right now. Can a guy, think a girl's cute and ask her out on the spot? For me, that has always seemed forward, for whatever reason, and I figured it would make more sense to ask her for her number, and then call her and ask her out,…

I'm feeling brave
Or desperate. One of the two. I'm going to sign up on Match.com and give the whole internet thing a try again. Is castadiva an OK screen name, or do I need to come up with something totally different? Also, would any of you be willing to have a look at the profile once it's done, and give me your suggestions for, shall we…

What's in a name?
So I had a conversation a while back with a guy and thought I would run it by you all. We were talking about first impressions and names and he had said "If I can't imagine screaming out a girls name when we have sex I will not persue her". I of course burshed if off at the time but it must of offended me deep down since…

Election season
With the US Presidential Election in full swing, perhaps a famous political sentiment is also something we Single Peeps should keep in mind going forward: Arguing politics never changes someone's opinion about the candidates or issues, it only changes their opinion of you.

Perception of a Single
For those of you who hang out with married friends, do you find that there is a separate set of rules or that maybe you are perceived differently in dealings among the married folks? To clarify, in a group of married friends who are genuinely affectionate with each other (hugs hello/goodbye kinda thing), joke around and…
