i refuse to eat crabs & prawns & such because they have too many legs. if you eat them, why not eat bugs?

my ego prohibits jealousy. I pretty much always consider myself the smartest & most attractive person in the room. if somebody is hotter than me then i'm going to be pervy, not catty. if i'm being catty it's because I genuinely believe you to be a prat. I suspect that, in general, a lot of cattiness gets put down to…

i'm so glad I don't hang with the normals.

I was advised by a physio to keep my tummy muscled engaged whenever I was standing/walking. that doesn't mean sucking it in and doesn't mean restricting your breathing. she said it was the best thing for spinal health. i'm inclined to agree.

i'm a cranky, grumpy feminist who gets offended by pretty much everything... and I would have laughed. he was absolutely honest and absolutely right.

absolutely. and that's pretty much exactly what I posted earlier in the thread. but some predators play the long game and it's an easy way to reduce the risk. don't list kids on your profile and those who are specifically targeting parents won't reply to your ad. I've explained that logic to guys afterwards and they've all…

and the logic of the police and various other 'experts'.

dumbest suggestion so far and contrary to police advice. you may as well put PEDOS APPLY WITHIN on your profile.

I think maybe it's best to make food & exercise a forbidden topic in some relationships. just agree that if he keeps his opinions to himself then you'll keep your intentions and achievements to yourself? there's no law that says you need to agree on tactics but it's unproductive to keep butting heads.

sometimes cartoon movies provide advice every bit as good as any guru. just keep swimming!

did the chocolate provide you with all the protein, vitamins and minerals you'll need for tomorrow? no? then eat properly!

yes, of course. but society has double standards. people told my son he was smart, tall, strong, gifted. people told my daughter she was pretty. and that's it. consistently. for years. it seems like everybody did it. ...and then we would get home and i'd explain that these people were tedious imbeciles and that her looks,…

it's so big!! :love:

omg! u r hawt! :heart: :love: :heart:

primarily, therapy. it offers me a vent and stops me being quite so self destructive. as a side effect, being strong makes me less likely to injure myself at work, and it it's reassuring for my more disabled clients.

i'd say it's worthy of every response so far, except yours.

I would add this to your review. yes, I would post a review that states you received a perfectly polite call from the business, and then an email from some random buddy saying you should take your review down. actually, I would post the email, complete with email address. if you show yourself to be a person who will make…

I love seeing quackery being beaten to death with science & common sense. :heart:

I purposefully avoid eye contact with strangers pretty much everywhere. at work i'm paid to be open and friendly but on my time you don't exist. it's nothing personal, it's just that people pee me off. I might notice someone if I have a reason to interact with them, if it can't be avoided. I might even like what I see. but…

I guess that depends on whether your idea of fun has to be at somebody else's expense. if not, there is plenty of fun to be had without complaints.

or, to play devil's advocate: you could see it as appreciating other people's hard work, or you could see it as perpetrating the belief that it's looks that really matter. a lot of people on here are self conscious and never being mentioned in these sorts of threads just adds to that.

the world needs more guys like you two. thank you!

ah, bless, the desire to believe. I suppose this is no more or less ridiculous than the earth being a one week project, or pink unicorns repairing my freezer if I wear olive green knickers.

your kid is lucky to have a father who is willing to change for him.

'Nobody loves me, everybody hates me Think I'll go and eat worms Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones See how they wriggle and squirm''

that may have been something called 'humour'.

or, I don't know, they could just use common sense and caution. I know it's a crazy, radical idea but I thought i'd throw it out there. also, anyone with a dating site profile who ticks the 'has kids' box is a fool. judgy? in this situation, hell yeah!

I would've agreed with you and go my tattoo. if a guy was willing to bail over something so trivial then he didn't love me that much to start with, and if he didn't love me that much to start with then i'm not going to live my life to please him.

if they don't know you have a child and still persist in a few dates, it becomes somewhat unlikely. ...and I still wouldn't introduce them. they're dating me, not my kid. unless they're in my life long term, my kids are none of their business.

http://www.mamamia.com.au/news/news-single-mum-grooming/ http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2006/nov/17/children.ukcrime for those who think women should be open about having kids, consider that the kid's safety should come ahead of a potential date's convenience. it's a known tactic, to deliberately seek relationships with…
