Thanks for explaining that. I figured it had something to do with weight or weight loss and either Calories or a time trend reference. I just couldn't figure out how any of those potential relationships would result in an intercept of 7034.7

wow. very nice job.

Great progress. What do X and Y represent in your linear regression equation?

I was intending it for you. Although, I may have mixed up some of your points and the other poster's. It's late Friday and my attention span is waning. Ask about his ideas and how they fit into your goals and then decide if they sound reasonable. Try not to get sucked into a trainer that wants to make you dependent on him…

I like the notion that you have to do something to get better at it but at the end of the day I can't help think about the beginning of Hoosiers when all the players wanted to scrimmage and the coach started them off doing all sorts of tangential drills to reinforce the fundamentals. You've had a fitness assessment. Ask…

The answer really depends on personal preference, knowledge, and self discipline. Having a personal trainer in theory can't hurt but there is one at my gym (on a independent contractor basis) that is so bad that I tell the gym's owner that the mere presence of the guy diminishes the reputation and quality of the gym. I…

It sounds like you're an experienced runner who is having issues with endurance when they never existed before. I'd suggest seeing your doctor to make sure this isn't a symptom of something more serious.

It happened at the Chicago Marathon. She went into labor during the race and finished it.

It may not matter much at all. Here is one guy's experiment with online dating. The short version is if you're a male you are unlikely to be contacted at all and the chances of being contacted decline as your looks decline. If you are an attractive female you will be contacted a lot. If you are a somewhat attractive female…

The Calorie deficit is what causes weight loss. The type of activity that results in the "best" results is debatable. It really depends on what you define as "best." I'm not sure of any study that concludes that heavy lifting results in more fat loss than cardio or a combination of cardio and lifting. About a year ago, I…

I didn't get the tone. I'm not sure how the profiles play out in London but around here there are dozens of profiles that just reflect bitterness and frustration that start out with things like "If this is your idea of a good time, don't contact me" If all you're looking for is a hook up go away." etc. It got to the point…

I am engaged now and have not used a dating site in almost two years now. I'm not sure if that is relevant or not. I personally would have passed on contacting you. (I hope this isn't offensive. It is not intended to be.) I have a PhD and am articulate and know how to think. I am analytical but not necessarily well-read. I…

you could always get married yourself. Then the married men would be hitting on a married girl.

It's pretty silly. Here is another link to it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKWmFWRVLlU

I'm not sure what to tell you. I've been one of those guys who waited for sex because the gal wasn't comfortable having sex until she was sure it would be a long term relationship. In every instance where this happened, she wasn't really comfortable having sex even after that point. I felt miserable in the relationship and…

Did you tell him of your no sex for at least 4 weeks policy? I don't push anyone to have sex if they aren't comfortable but if we have numerous sleepovers without sex I assume the gal isn't interested in sex or at least not interested in sex with me and I look for someone who is more sexually compatible.

As someone who at one time taught college courses, you don't have to put any effort into pursuing a young gal on a college campus if all you are interested in is sexual power and control. I was 34-37 when I taught and weighed almost 500 pounds. There were 3-5 18-yo girls every semester that would flirt with me all semester…

I am 6'3" My calves are about 25". Some of it is from lifting weights. some of it is from carrying extra weight for years but a lot of it is from growing up in an old house with 20 very steep and very small steps up to my bedroom. Mine are always solid though. You'll probably lose a good amount of size in yours as the…

I figure he has tried to express it before. The problem certainly didn't start with the initial date of the spreadsheet. I really can't see someone creating a spreadsheet. However, I am sure that a guy who was having a reasonable sex life would just say to himself, "it's June 1. My wife turned me down for sex. I better log…

That b#@ch burned me too.

I thought it was sad that he didn't know how to communicate to her in a manner that wasn't so passive aggressive. I thought it was sad that it got to the point where he developed a spread sheet. I thought that it was absolutely pathetic that once he did communicate his frustration that she felt the need to share it with…

you can't be "accurate" as government standards (at least in the US) allow for a 10% variance from the reported results.

I think what women see as "traditional" is created is delusional. It's a BS fantasy created by watching TV and mistaking what she saw for reality.

I think the comments and the introduction to the article make it clear that women are just delusional when it comes to expectations and reality. The idea of a conservative 1980s bringing back more traditional dating or even the portrayal of the 1950s is utter hogwash. Ever heard of "shotgun weddings?" How did that happen…

If you want things to be better just take note: http://www.theonion.com/articles/woman-who-changed-self-to-please-boyfriend-enjoyin,36272/

Crystal, I think you explained your situation a little more in response to something JT wrote in another thread. Forgive me if I am off base but it kind of sounds like you are just ending a "relationship" with an ex because it wasn't meant to be anything more than comfortable but you realize it isn't going to last…

I think Anna does a good job of describing what I was trying to advise with the [FILL IT IN] references. Try not to make it so sterile. Provide descriptions of things you like so the guys can see your personality and get a better feel for who you are and what you're all about. Let out some of the spunk and humor while…

I hope I don't come across as overly critical but I think it needs a lot of work. My first thought is that you lead with good ole country values immediately after telling us about getting too close to a fwb so you want to find something more serious. Notwithstanding that, "good ole country values" is a vague and…

My friends would tell me that too. I always found it offensive. I took it to mean that they didn't believe I was good enough to find anyone better or that my judgment wasn't good enough. It's ironic because most of my friends come to me for advice on personal or financial issues. Many of them are now divorced or in lousy…

No more so than woman are turned off by guys who are likely to work a lot of hours, not be available, likely to be stressed by events unrelated to them, etc.
