Regarding the body issues... I suppose that aside from the people with their dream body (very few), this is everyone to an extent. The good thing about not being single then is that you feel someone accepts you regardless of your perceived problems (if you guys needed a reason to not be single :laugh: ).

People will ask this (crappy) question for the following reason: - As a mundanity, or compliment ("Oh, you are so incredible, how come you are still single!?") or because it is an obligatory question when you are dating. And in this case, your answer makes perfect sense (the answer doesn't really matter, only that you…

Malicious sects/cults, scammers and catfishes prey on weak people. Now, saying that "it's her fault" and that she shouldn't be protected against "mental/emotional aggression" because she was too gullible or depressed is essentially the same as saying she shouldn't be protected against "physical aggression" because she was…

I am supposed to go to an Halloween event tomorrow as a "fashion addict from the 80s"... so I purchased a zebra shirt. I tried it earlier and I really like it, so I'm actually considering dressing like that every day now.

I just live with the hope that "gained quickly = lost quickly".

I had heard about that story, but never knew the whole thing. Interesting... Thanks for sharing.

Read "Western vs Eastern" (people in western Europe vs Eastern Europe).

I suppose it shows more about the state of mind of the person who says either "single" or "divorced", rather than an official difference. It probably makes more sense to say "divorced" if you have kids though (to answer to several potential questions at once).

Maybe it was phrased weirdly? This is what I meant: People in central Europe where I live (and in the North, particularly) aren't very religious, and this suits me well because I know religion isn't going to be an issue in the relationship.But this is not true in Eastern Europe.

You're right actually, I will then - like most - add my vote to therapy.

I think she analysed her own situation poorly, and her question is loaded with bad presumptions. She thinks that men are losing interest because she agrees to be exclusive (and then proceeds to ask "how can I tell the men I like that I don't want to be exclusive, because if I accept exclusivity after they asked me for it,…

I'm with you on this (and do the same thing). Plus when I'm out at a pub or restaurant, I can think about a million more interesting conversations than work (I'm talking about the first two or three dates or approaching someone on a night out, obviously not hiding the information forever). I agree with this too. Having a…

Thanks for this post, I was about to say that half the women on this topic have already entered "bullcrap-support mode" where they support another woman unconditionally by losing all objectivity and lying to themselves about the situation, but you saved me the trouble. Actually, I'm glad to see that OP accepts that she's…

I would like to ask the people whose perception would be impacted/would form a bad opinion why they think their perception would be impacted/why they would form a bad opinion? For what reasons? Aside from religious people, I really can't think of many valid reasons for it as it stands. Of course, because Christian moral is…

It was a bit unclear, but I didn't mean that traditional is controlling, the two notions were separate in my mind and I was just listing the kind of typical behaviour you could expect from a man who has a "bad opinion" of a woman who had sex early. I would expect these two behaviours to be found in the same man in this…

Keep in mind that sex is different from relationships, you can have sex without being in a relationship or wanting one. Sounds cheesy, but maybe that's all the explanation you need (people, generally, want sex). Some men do think that, some don't. I personally don't, and there are men who don't. Though I would imagine that…

Jesus is nailed in every church, and has been for years. You need to try harder to impress us.

Thanks for the link. Below are a few thoughts... "That’s not a church thing, though. That’s a culture thing." This will really depend on how one defines "church", though. If church is defined as "the study of the scriptures" and "living following Christian precepts" (stricly the "moral" side of things), then you are…

What is the original article? This one? http://www.theurbanpolitico.com/2011/05/is-black-church-keeping-black-women.html I think the main question is then: why do you think there is this hesitancy to date outside the race, then? If it comes from religious/faith reasons, then we can still point the finger at the church.…

Rest assured that the Republicans care deeply about the commoners. We should note however that some lawmakers have apparently voluntarily given up on their pay in "solidarity" - however for someone who is on $100,000+ a year, it is probably easier to afford it. Can't they just do their job properly for that much money?…

I like dates that revolve around a particular purpose, and generally I find it rather boring to just "hang out" at home.

"Store Wars"... :laugh: (5 min video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVrIyEu6h_E

I find that writing when you're sad is a good remedy, so I was actually serious. :grumble:

Write poetry or a letter to yourself.

"Dating for Christian women", I think.

I agree with the answers. I would add that, as a woman, you are NOT to cross or anger the man you are dating. So I would be wary of offering (even humbly) to pay, as the man you're dating could become angry and be offended - and it would probably be over by then. It seems obvious when said but only real men can be…

You know the funny thing about this comment? (and why I think it is bollocks...) His friends are probably saying the same thing about you on their side. Sure it's cute to offer unconditional support to someone, and great that we all think that the people on MFP are always right, but keep in mind that from the other side…

The article says starvation mode isn't a myth. Don't believe what OP says, he probably didn't even read the article.

At least, he doesn't say the same BS as everyone else - "Men like the chase!". Here is a hint for all the women of the world who want to do something for men than they like even more than the chase - while we do appreciate your efforts in wanting to please us by allowing us to chase you, I think you could do better than…
