Sumo wrestlers are also Asian.

@ vitaxo. American? (Puerto Rico)

I think Oroblar is American.

An overly simplistic but highly aplicable definition of virtue and vice is that if it causes you harm it is a vice and if it benefits it is a virtue. Under that definition I can say that my eating too much is a vice as it makes me feel sluggish.

Just a quick update. I am now a M:.M:. in Gnosis #126.

Funny, relaxed

My cardiologist once told me that the problem with losing more than 2 lbs per week was that when you lose weight at a rate above that rate you begin to lose some important muscle mass, which could even weaken your heart and lead to serious problems later. I think that 40lbs in 20 weeks is fine or 12lbs in 6 weeks. But I…

This is the reason bad men go bad. If women prefered good, intelligent and responsible men, there would be a lot more of us and the world would be a better place.

As far as the myth that nice-guys are weak or pushovers. I can say that my earnings are in the top 5% for my country. Besides my job I also teach finance at the #1 school of economics in LATAM. My opinions can move (and have moved) the stock market. Men listen to me, respect me, follow me and take risks based on what I…

I am always reading, I am a professor as well as an analyst so there is always plenty to read for my work. But the point of this post, is about what we read for fun. I am going through the Great Books of the Western World, collection. It has a 10 year reading plan. This month I am finishing up Dante's Divine Comedy and…

Fun, party person.

Nice smile

My experience is that they completely ignore men who are intelligent, responsible, hardworking, educated, well-read, cultured and respectful and instead sleep with the men who are crass, misogynist, callus and cruel. People on this board have already commented that it is the nice-guys fault for being nice. But, really what…

A more interesting question would be: why? How does this fit with evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology. Before I had my children I would have done it in a heartbeat. Now that I have children I am much less willing to take risks. Some theories surrounding this go to "survival of the fittest species" rather than…

I like that. I didn't know if how much non-friends would be able to see, but I suspected my profile might give it away.

Congrats Selma, I thought it would take longer than that. Impressive!

Very Good! Born and raised, my family has lived in Mexico for 5 generations now.

imkegoal, that is what I get for multi-tasking and speed reading. I only read partially. Sorry. I am not Irish, nor Belgian, nor German nor Scandinavian. The clue I can give is that my nationality will be completely unexpected precisely because neither my name nor my looks point that direction.

Not German, not from Norway, but that is where people usually start when it comes to guessing.

imkegoal, already divulged that she is from England so my job is easy :o). My nationality will be tougher to guess than most.

Okay, I asked a friend of mine who is a Freemason. They celebrate the solstices but call them "St John's Days". I imagine there are very different rites among the various traditions, but what he told me is that at least among them, the ceremony that only applies for the winter solstice is actually performed in the Southern…

Anything athletic or active! Especially involving sun and water!

Where does this idea come from that there really is such a thing as right and wrong? It cannot be observed empirically, nor do I think right and wrong can be substantiated fully scientifically. But somehow the idea of morality has stuck with us throughout the centuries. Where does this idea come from?

An important tip that people often don't take into account is that if you have a little bit extra each month (even if it is only $0.01) you will get out of debt quicker and pay less in interest by paying this toward the highest interest rate card/loan/contract that you have. I have a spread sheet where I've modeled it out…
