Ok ^ is a reasonable expectation for just basically civil behaviour, but I think it points to the one thing (*sometimes*) related to success that might put men off, which is feeling deprived of a certain kind of attention. A MILLION (yeah actually a million) studies show how much happier men are in marriage, because of the…

Lots of women look amazing into their 40s, even later, with good nutrition and exercise. To have a 'hard body' it's definitely more upkeep (strength training for sure, can't get away with biking on the weekends). The more active you are (physically, mentally, socially), the longer you look and feel great. The thing to keep…

I can see that some may have more of an emotional relationship with food than others, but why mourn if you can still see your friend every now and then? Especially if you're making new & better friends, like seared tilapia or dancing?

Well, I admit it's confusing, there are lots of opinions on the best way to go about things, here especially. It really is a matter of reading, trying things, logging, and seeing how you feel. Might help to look at this time that way, as an experiment. Lots of people find the 30/40/30 ratio of fats, carbs, protein works…

So this is part of the reeducation process! You learn by trial and error (and reading) what works (fills you up within cals) and what doesn't. You work out shortcuts, and pick up tips on shopping and planning to make nights like this happen less often. I TOTALLY have emergency lazy foods in the fridge, I just learned to…

Absolutely true! Honestly, looking back, the year or so it took me to lose weight was a reprogramming process. Totally changed my perception of portions. I learned to eat foods that were filling and fit calories and macros, which kind of automatically forces you to hit most targets. Once you learn to eat that way (and yes…

Well, I think if people are lucky in terms of compatibility viz a viz personality/temperament, and are emotionally skilled, sure, the effects of background can be minimized. I do think background informs beliefs and worldview (maybe not so much hopes and goals), but of course needn't be constraining - some people are more…

Lol, that's good! And you did, you did, it's just a question of emphasis :)

I don't know... I'm not sure it's just about bodies & money outside of that, or maybe I think the exceptions you described can happen more often than you might think. Cohort issues can come up, for sure, and I think significantly older women take a greater risk with a bigger gap. Other than that, once people get to…

No way: - Arrogant / smug / condescending / annoyingly argumentative for the sake of it / black and white thinker / lack of social skills --> basically no engineers - Addictions (sober 10+ years is ok, but if it's even a possibility now I can't deal, sorry) - As someone else said, untreated mental health issues or…

That access to more information means greater reliance on bias.

Surprise contender: CoverGirl Professional Super Thick Mascara. Good volume, no flakes or smudges, super cheap too. I got it by fluke (it was the only mascara in a tiny drugstore) and it turned out to be amazing.

Why 3 years? I'm personally not into huge gaps, but +/- 5-7 years is easy enough to bridge.
-
What you described is what I think many of us are after, but love being the same as & contained in marriage is really really new, and that kind of love between equals is even newer, and yeah it definitely rests on access to opportunities as others have said. Making moral judgements about women with fewer opportunities is…

See, there's a limit to how much a person can 'take care of herself'. Aging is inevitable. You can hold some things off for a good while (I read, **don't know if it's true**, that Demi Moore spends a stupid amount annually on laser tightening procedures), but things catch up at some point, even if you have a ton of money.…

I'd say it's a thing. Most of the guys who approach me are younger. I've dated a few, but not seriously. I don't care what other people do, but I personally feel more comfortable with guys my own age. There's something to be said for life experience, shared references, energy levels, all that.
-
Lol! I ditched a guy who preferred smoothies to eggs for breakfast (not just for that, but it was a [correct] sign he was way too spartan for me). To the coffee-lovers who aren't eating breakfast and feel they should: caffeine's an appetite suppressant, maybe wait til after some toast or something. And yeah I'd have…
-
Totally this! Much less daunting.
-
These are not huge gestures, but I'd been going through a time where my confidence in people was kind of low, and they really made my day, each time. - At a drive-through coffee place, I placed my order, got to the 2nd window, and found that the guy in the car ahead of me had already paid for my coffee. - I was at a bus…

Can't believe I missed all these wonderful responses. Thanks, everyone!! I'm still taking notes by hand for lectures - laptop's too heavy to carry around, and I really feel reliant on my doodles, diagrams and arrows; also I like being able to space information out - but this has helped: - I got a bunch of super fast…

Basically I've found a bunch of stuff that explains why the physio exercises I've been told to do might not be working. I am done throwing money at vampires who can't be bothered to read their own journals. Unfortunately, I majored in the social sciences. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2505250/ ^ a review, but…
-
Cheers. Yeah I've googled it. Results are either "do these exercises" patient info without specifying which is which, or over my head (med journals), & still not making the distinction. edit: there is a lot on the benefits of eccentric (NOT concentric) exercise for a range of tendinopathies, mostly in re the Achilles.…

I think I explained my response. I'm not aware of any fat-phobia lurking in my psyche. I myself have been "gasp, fat". I am, however, injury-phobic.

Well ok, I’m not an expert, it’s been a LONG time, and I guess it’s hard to see exactly what’s going on, given her outfit. But to me it looks like her rotation is happening very much at the knee, with insufficient turnout at the right (standing) hip, and then looks like some compensatory rotation at the torso. The way I…

Rectangle! Used to be a pear. I am neither a Rockette nor a child, so I refuse to go the suggested frills/sequins/bows route, and padding either gets wet or cold, so no to that. String bikini, all the way, maybe a bandeau. (Honestly I think most women look best in a string bikini.)

If you are under three feet tall and you currently weigh less than 70 lbs, yes that is possible.

Excluded psoriasis? (Some autoimmune conditions have a dermatological component - any joint pains?) Re food: try eating maintenance for a while, forget about weight loss until you make sense. Re sleep: sure there aren't any interruptions, from eg sleep apnea?
-
Me personally? Yeah I'm ****ed. But I did dance for years (from age 3 to teens), and I happen to be able to kick my legs to my head, because I have hypermobility in my hips. Which I do not test, these days, because I'm ****ed. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1835975/…

That's cool, but it's kind of like an occupational hazard for most people who use their bodies professionally, I think (repeated impact, overuse etc --> micro trauma over time often precipitates arthritis; sure not EVERY dancer will have arthritis) that said yeah no reason to rush into it that i can see (talking about the…
