I always do that after major break ups. Now after 6 months, I'm getting in the mood again - but still working on myself first and foremost (and I have tons of things to sort out still)... So if anything comes, fine, if not - screw it I have tons of things to do anyway.

Going to check this talk as well... But I know I should get better pictures of myself and I really can't bother atm :smiley:

A few years back, on a hot summer day, I was running on a countryside track (relatively unused except for the odd cyclist or runner). Because of the warmth and because I wanted to feel the sun on my skin, I was shirtless and displaying my slightly above 20% body fat padding. Some younger teens (16-20) were having a picnic…

I hate how these things are forced upon us. I'm an introvert and my so called "fear of missing out" makes it worse. The message is literally: "Be happy or you're abnormal and worthless". Fvck this. Fvck happiness! Something to consider if you are really struggling: maybe offer your help a local charity. There are people…

All these "rules" have a biological foundation though (strong/protective man, fertile/fragile woman). Yes, "online dating" is incredibly shallow - more so than "offline dating" is. Which is scary when you think it was probably initially meant to help the people who had difficulties meeting others (lack of confidence, not…

You're right, I've heard this too from guys. I think some of the more confident/traditional men can be a bit stuck up too, and so they might take it poorly (emasculation?), but if a man is more relaxed/chilled out he should be fine about it. I find the idea of being irritated by this a bit ridiculous personally - what's…

Don't take it personally - as you might very well put yourself out there just fine. What I wrote was what seems to be the general trend to me, though. What I mean is that - traditionally - women expect men to do the approach/doing the talking/taking charge/planning dates/paying dates, etc. Or in other words: dating is…

You're right. I think online dating doesn't seem to work too well for anyone. Add to this the "shopping cart" mentality that develops when a "better offer" is potentially just one click/swipe away, so you end up with the shallowest environment to create relationships. Why would anyone ever commit to an interaction if the…

Welcome back then. Good luck if you are searching, or whatever you choose to do otherwise. Personally sorting some stuff out on my end before I get into anything serious.

Yes, this is the same for every man (or at least not top of the crop). You should absolutely NOT waste too much time and effort in online dating if you are average, or if your pictures aren't professional pics - and to an extent you probably don't imagine. If you're interested in any data, have a look at this blog (this…

Dating sucks everywhere I think. Most people don't like dating...

Where you live is pretty important... If you're ready to face the extortionate rents, it's a good option to move to a bigger city. It's easier to find people you can relate to "better" in bigger cities.

I'd expect most people to say if they have children - although I can totally understand if they don't want to advertise it all over their profile (I think this gives a bad vibe personally, we understand your children are the most important thing in your life but you're not looking for a babysitter). That's why most online…

I think I'm quite a good conversationalist myself (I hope so at least)... But I feel I fare better in person. I find chats/emails a bit dry really, and it's difficult to generate "proper attraction" (beside "mental" attraction) - when I think attraction should be at the same time mental, physical and also emotional. So I…

Yep, I absolutely agree for the exact same reasons (and on these subforums too - "back in the days" that is). I will tell you what I kept hearing though: - "Yes, but I'm scared of rejection" (=> Good for you then, settle for what is offered to you only - but don't complain if that's not what you want) - "I'm a traditional…

I've been reading a lot about Myers-Briggs classification since I stumbled randomly on it through this thread. I believe I've typed myself properly and reading more about my type helped me understand much better some of my issues in previous relationships (mainly "emotional communication" issues I had). This has helped me…

Well, what these people have said to you is the problem in many cases. It's logical that people are attracted to... "attractive" people. What do you think are the quality that you possess that could attract a potential partner? What are you yourself attracted to? Try to think in those terms and it will give you small,…

Yep, I'm still alive and kicking! Really happy to hear that news :D All the best for this and the future!

Did you lost her?

London UK, just rediscovering after so long what it means to be single...

The main concern is that each of you will probably be at different stages in life. While there isn't any harm in having "fun" (recommended even), if you're looking at the "one serious LTR" I'd be wary of a large age gap. Even if things seem to start well then over time some issues may arise because of the age gap.…

- "Looking for Mr Right" : I don't know what I want but I am a simple fool and I am manipulated by others all the time. Yes, you can have some of that too. - "No drama": I will bring enough in your life: my friends call me drama. - "Treat me like a queen, I will treat you like a king": I am high maintenance, I will b!tch…

INTP: "You’re single because: You haven’t left your apartment in three months. You’ll get into a relationship when: You meet someone just like yourself on World of Warcraft." Any female WoW player here? Kidding. Was funny though.

Here is a link to some articles I just found: http://authoritynutrition.com/randomized-controlled-trials-in-nutrition/ I picked one randomly and read the "results" of the experiment: Efficacy and Safety of a High Protein, Low Carbohydrate Diet for Weight Loss in Severely Obese Adolescents "Weight outcomes included both the…

Personally, I actually started working out again because of stress... I find it a relief.

I confess I'm trying to be vegetarian this month. I want to reduce the quantity of meat I'm eating every week in the long run.

:D At least, you're on the "right" side of the law, I'm sure ladies can appreciate that.

Probably porn actor. Or hitman... She didn't like the smell of corpses melting in acid in the bathroom.

Most of the time, it's about being a bit more "sexual". Being a bit tactile help, smiling, looking in the eyes, showing interest, sticking to the person like an old chewing gum stuck on his shoe. Basic stuff like that. Always worth asking for a "date" I suppose. It's okay to express interest too. Guy says yay or nay. Done.…

As others have said, you can't really lose that much weight in so few days... Of course you can still eat next to nothing for a few days (drink coffees to help coping with the loss of energy). But doing that for longer than a few days is pointless as you will binge/lose energy/mess with your metabolism. And since you are…
