Yeah, but see, this is where I feel that language matters. In the case you mentioned, she didn't "friendzone" him. She didn't do anything. She initially didn't really realize he was interested, and furthermore he was not attractive according to her own personal criteria; she did not actively harm him in any way. Using the…

For women it "should be between 24.5 to 30.8"? That's nonsense. Given, these are the average ranges, but a lot of fit women have a body fat percentage much lower than 24.5% and are healthy and lovely and curvy. But yes, women naturally have a higher body fat percentage than men; we have different bodies. The following…

For that really really really irritating cold to go away. How can I work out when I can't even breathe properly...??

Confession: My partner and I have not told my family that we are engaged, but we will soon have to. I mean, I refuse to "stealth marry"; what am I, a YA heroine? I'm terrified though, because there are important cultural differences between his background and mine, and though he and I are fine with it, I am not sure my…

While spot reduction indeed doesn't exist, gaining muscle in the abdominal area will help the loose skin hold better, the fat to spread over a larger and more defined area, and will generally make the body look better. So keep losing weight, and make sure to exercise (whatever suits you best; I personally use an ab roller)…

The goal you have set for yourself is quite high; ~40 lbs in five months is ~8lbs a month, which is ~2lbs a week. It's achievable, but it will be tiring, difficult and require great discipline and dedication. I wish you the best of luck! Though my goals are much more modest and are mostly recomp rather than weight loss, I…

Alright. Some good pro-Mario points raised here.... Hmmm.... I'll have to think about this more.

Ah yes, "rsdnation.com", with key articles like "How to seem to cool to every single girl" and "Miami Nights: life of a pickup artist" and "How to brainwash her" or even "Shocking: how women work EXPLAINED!" Even if she might screw you once or twice, no woman in her right mind will ever take you seriously if you are the…

Frankly, do you blame her? Assertive, ambitious, domineering Bowser with his strong arms, wickedly smart dungeon designs, carefully constructed society of minions and a cool red mohawk, versus a plumber with a really tacky mustachio, dreadfully unfashionable overalls, an annoying brother, the physique of Danny DeVito and a…

I can see my man go pale when I start a conversation with something like "Look.... this is very difficult to broach.... and I don't want you to take it personally..." Usually I'm just trying to tackle tiny issues like snoring or milk in his beard, but somehow he always seems to think up worst case scenarios, and prepares…

Oh gods, this. Coming home exhausted, staring at all the house chores that has to be done, and feeling too weak and sore has got to be one of the worst feelings ever.

Ahahhahahahahahhhhhah. Oh my god, yes. Oh yes. Good ol' Alistair, licking his lampposts in the winter; I've missed this game. Though, to be honest -and please do not judge me too harshly on that- my personal guilty crush was Loghain Mac Tir. I was devastated that you could recruit him and get his side of the story, but not…

Tell me about it. It's like dialogue wheels in RPG games. The option you pick says "I'm sorry, I cannot rescue your kitten right now", and instead your character ends up spewing "Go die in a fire you useless peasant, how dare you assume I would possibly waste my valuable time trying to save your flea-ridden feline horror",…

I'm aware. That's why I said that even as satire, it's pathetic, and that the Onion usually does better. I mean, we all have different senses of humour, I suppose. It was nothing personal at all. :)
-
Oh come on, that's just pathetic, even for satire. You disappoint me. People get disillusioned with their partners. The mystery disappears. Passion fades into habit, and love either survives, or doesn't. Relationships need work and maintenance. These are a given, and have absolutely nothing to do with gender or with…

Actually, the stomach might not "shrink" physically, but if you chronically undereat, your body can become ridiculously unaccustomed to processing food. This is why, for example, people with anorexia reach a point where they legitimately, medically can't just start eating normally again, but have to be given nutrients…

The I still think that the OP should listen not just to men or women, but to both, and that this competition of whose opinion is more credible is silly. The more point of views he listens to the more he will understand about how different people feel and function.
-
Well, I live in a rather working-class area of Athens, Greece, and a legitimately can't go to the local gym because of the behaviour of some of the guys. Since small gyms here are 90% male -with the exception of special aerobic classes blah blah- there will always be groups of aggressively assertive bros approaching every…

Sleeping well certainly does help your body be healthy, and for that reason alone, you should make sure you get the rest you need, especially if you have started exercising.

I want Law school to calm the heck down because it's too hard and I'm drowning, I want my partner to finally return to Europe because we miss each other to the point of patheticness and I'm getting sick of Skype, I want my dog to stop peeing all over the place, and I also want this:

If your weight hasn't change much, but you have seen in increase in muscle, it obligatorily means that there has been a decrease in your body fat percentage, which is a great thing. Don't let anyone tell you your effort is wasted, and don't let the slowness of results and the resentment of people in your social circle…

Because my best friend has been in this situation where she had a huge crush on a male friend she'd been around for years, I'll tell you what my reaction was; that the "friendzone" doesn't exist, regardless of the genders involved, that he is evidently not into her as a partner, that she should just learn to appreciate…

In this entire thread, it's been women saying "we don't actually "friendzone" people, this doesn't exist, we just try to be nice to people who are nice to us, stop trying to emotionally guilt-trip us into dating someone" and "we are attracted to who we are attracted to, you know, we all have our own criteria", and then men…

...? League? What league? Alright, I agree that a lot of guys have an inflated sense of their own attractiveness because they are not quite as constantly and mercilessly bombarded by negativity from every single form of media ("you have cellulite" "you are bloated, eat this yogurt" "wear these spax panties" "wear better…

This.

"Woah, are you on your period or something?" (After you very politely voice a concern of any kind.)
-
Woah. Why so many people being so resentful, bitter, and mean. Yes, sure, the OP spoke in a way that belittles the efforts of other people here, and fell into the trap and the bias of experiencing her own difficulties and struggles as supremely hard compared to that of others. So what? Let her know politely that everyone…

"You women are all the same. All you care for is *insert stereotype like money, cars, clothes*." "What all women really want, whether they admit it or not, is a proper man to take charge of them/control them/put them in their place/show them who's the boss." "Go back to the kitchen." "Haha, you like *insert supposedly male…
