These were the most enjoyable set of progress pictures I've seen. Congratulations on your hard work!

Those are great feelings.

that was interesting. I'm glad you gave an NSFW warning. I think I'd get hell for opening that at work.

Perhaps it's because you are hanging out in places where the people are too drunk to realize you aren't drinking. That's slightly serious and slightly not. It's serious in that your selection of friends will influence what is considered normal. If your college has any size at all to it, you can find people who do not…

The part about insecurities is from my interpretation of personal experience. No one wants to have sex or be vulnerable without being comfortable with the other person. There are a few factors that I've expereinced with women regarding the speed at which that comfort occurs. Wanting to wait a longer time generally falls…

No offense but there's talk and there is action. If a woman is uncomfortable inviting me to her place after she's been to mine 4-5 times, I'm going to think something isn't right. If she further confounds that by saying she was going to invite me over but something I did made her uncomfortable, I'm going to chalk it up as…

It's the only place I can meet women with names like Fantasia, and Ecstacy.

Don't try to drink that ocean. It doesn't contain much alcohol and is a little salty.

You'll have to talk to him (don't use a text or a phone call) and judge his response for yourself. Not just his words but his body language. Even if he seems to be sincerely into you, it may be too big of a problem. If you need more rapid communication, his style may not be compatible. Christine has made it clear that it…

Ask him if he talks to his wife about your conversations. If he says no, ask him why and be suspicious. If he says yes, ask him what he says. If he seems vague in his response or caught off guard, be suspicious. If he seems specific and/or relaxed, don't worry about it.

Whatever you do, don't do this. I assume he is a grown man that is looking for a companion not someone who is looking to crack the whip to get what she wants. This is just manipulative and controlling.

It's hard to give an opinion based on one side of the story. It is clear that you have concerns and there are things about him that bother you. No one is perfect and you'll have to make some decisions. It's easy to say next and that may ultimately be the decision you reach. If you are having problems now it may be because…

I confess I am a little frustrated and laughing at my situation a little bit. I've decided to take a computer class at the local community college. I went through all the hoops to apply for the school. I filled out the application, went to the school in person to get a student Identification number that was necessary for…

The description of "actively pursuing" makes it sound kind of sketchy. I don't think I've ever "actively pursued" any of my friendships. They just sort of happen. I meet someone through a mutual friend or just by striking up a random conversation or by participating in a common event and the person either seem interesting…

Anna, I hope you are successful at de-stressing.

I've never worn a bra. How did my breast tissue migrate to become back fat?

I just let them get to know me.

My senior year I played quarterback and defensive tackle.

I'm following the programs in New Rules of Lifting Supercharged but incorporating some Power Cleans and snatches into it and adding a little more core work. The authors have you do metabolic training at the end but I usually ride my bike to the gym and then take a long route home giving me around 8-10 miles of cycling…

Would I be bothered if a gf had good male friends? Maybe but probably not. I'd want to meet the friend to see how they interacted with me around. If either or both of them seemed uncomfortable with me around, I'd be suspicious that one or both of them harbored feelings for the other but hasn't acted on them. Would you be…

I have a friend who spent 6 months in Moscow doing research for his dissertation. He told me how much attention he got from nearly every Russian woman and how he thought he finally found a place where women appreciated his type. When he got back he heard that there was a group of Russian women from the same school where he…

As far as pushup go I'd suggest finding a stairwell and doing the pushups with your feet on the ground and your hands on one of the stairs over the girl pushups. Once you get to the point of completing 2 or 3 sets of 10 on one stair move your hands to a lower stair on the next workout and progrss from there until you have…

I can't vouch for the accuracy of any of the apps. I use a Polar FT4 heart rate monitor. According to it, I log between 530-610 Calories (depending on the temperature and terrain, etc.) for a 12 mile ride at a 13-14 mph pace. I weigh around 325 and have my weight set at 310 on the HRM. Assuming that the HRM is accurate and…

I agree about the top 14 and honorable mentions. I can't remember the last time I ate anything on the Top 14 list. There were about 5 on the honorable mention list that I would want. No turkey before Christmas?

Is "LAN Party" some sort of euphemism I don't know about?

I can tell you I am not going to drive 5.5 hours to see a woman I don't want to have sex with. I am also not going to drive 5.5 hours solely for the prospect of sex either.

Thank God I went to college in the '90s.

I try to take things meant to be compliments as compliments. The only time I got offended by a compliment was at a park where I regularly walked. I'd been going every day for at least 4 months and a guy in a truck slowed up next to me to tell me how commendable it was that I was out there walking. By this time, the walks…

You guys may talk about being nerds because of the video games and comic con and what have you but My first inclination was to solve the last problem in my head after seeing this. X = -15 or X = 12
