Beauty is subjective, I wouldn't be bothered by Mike's mentality. While I agree that there are some women that are better looking than others (in the sense that if you polled X amount of guys anonymously, they would probably pick one over the other) ultimately it boils down to preference. For example I would argue that…

Confession: I had a TV crush on Topanga. That is all.

There are no absolutes. Men or women can approach, it doesn't matter especially if the "relationship", either purely physical or more in depth, takes off.

Why don't you have the "guts" to go talk to them. /thread Edit: inb4 gender roles

I've got the right stuff....baby.......

This is ironic, the man should make an effort for her, even though she doesn't make an effort to maintain her body. How about this, why don't both parties make an effort for each other?

Here is the thing. If you spent your entire time dating maintaining a certain weight, but then once you got married you decided "well now he loves me for "who I am" (which sorry ladies, who you are also includes your physical state, denying as such is simply dishonest), so I can eat myself to death" then possibly. This is…

Depends; I will admit that I probably have some type of "addiction" to food (Please keep in mind that I am not comparing this addiction to a drug addiction, I would imagine my "addiction" it is much milder.) That being said I know I generally have to struggle with eating habits for the rest of my existence. I generally use…

Because people like to dramatize social media. Like OP is doing because someone didn't want to talk to him. Or like the person who the OP sent a message to was doing because (I would imagine) she thinks he is a "perv". Regardless, MFP is serious around these parts.

This thread is gold!

Just noticed this. I don't debate everything, and I do not suck the joy out of every thread. Inspiration comes from within, and only comes from within. Some random saying from someone else will not generate any long term motivation. Just set a goal, and go get it. With this it seems you have interpreted my inquiry as a…

I love my name. I also don't have to worry about female Zach's. :drinker:

Well said, much better arguments that I have been putting forth. Sadly I didn't even think about #1, this is exactly why I would be a terrible psychopath, haha.

That is funny. My father was born in Liverpool, and I have family in Britian. He was born in 1944 I believe (yes I don't really know for sure, there is a reason for that haha).

I've felt like the third wheel before, but at the time I had a close buddy who was married. He was the one who wanted to hang out, so I rolled with it. As far as the rent situation ^^ that would start a ****storm with me. I think people have a tendency to look down on singles, simply because they subconsciously feel that…

This is true, your best bet (in my specific scenario) would be to never tell me. I cannot speak for all men however, but to me asking to check and explaining to me you just want to feel safe, that wouldn't come off as offensive. Also if we are enjoying each other's company it wouldn't be awkward to me as well. (Sadly I…

Googling I am not quite sure about. People generally concede to put themselves on the internet so I wouldn't see that as much as a breech of trust, versus a criminal background check. EDIT: If you can simply "google" someones criminal history this is news to me, simply because I have never considered doing this. I am…

While I see your point, the problem is it becomes a breech of trust. Yes people do ask friends and neighbors, but I would assume they wouldn't always take what they say as gospel truth. They simply want another perspective to see if their intuition is correct. (Although in this scenario friends and neighbors may not be…

They however happen to be a very tiny percentage of the population. Living in fear of that population seems a bit paranoid when in fact you could do other measures to keep yourself safe.

While I see your concern, the flip side of the coin is as follows. SO I run into a woman, we will say online, and I meet her a few times. After just a few dates she tells me she ran a background check on me. This to me says, that she will never trust me. This says that at any time that woman can get information on me, with…

lol@anyone who believes anyone in the sports industry (pick a sport, it doesn't matter) is clean.

Background check is a huge turnoff, and no I don't have a criminal record. HOWEVER, if someone who you are with is involved in some behavior that you feel you would need a background check, (and it would have to be fairly extreme, like shoplifting, breaking the law (aside from certain drug use)) then I could understand it.…

No way! I am from Indiana and the people are very nice down here (NC), in their own sort of way! Although I suppose if you come from a rural community, that would make sense.

This is a fair point, and also the post above me. I should live and let live as well I suppose. It was more of a question at the mindset of why people need these. However, if you need random quotes to get motivated, I can't imagine your motivation lasting that long/ or even being legitimate in the first place. However, I…

Sorry to hear this. My grandma has always been very supportive of me and my ambitions so if this were to happen to myself, I would be torn up. I hope you feel better.

Wow I fail, just noticed this. One second while i take a deep breath: "hahahahaahhahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaha" Ok much better.

So not to be a negative nancy here, but why do people need arbitrary quotes from arbitrary people in order to be inspired. Just live how you want to live? Oh i got one.... "Live how you want to live, and stop ****ing around with bull**** quotes on the internet" - Zach Ward

I feel ya, people are ridiculous. I guess with myself I played the "tortoise and the hare" game. I just did what i wanted, ended up losing my weight and getting in shape, and "got the last laugh" so to speak. Morality police / food police are terribly annoying, and unreasonable usually. I understand you are "ranting" and…

lol wow, go holy yourself!

I will tell ya, you put on your big girl pants, and wash your hair with jergens no tears. Then you throw the past in the trash can and move on. The end :)
