Maybe they taste better.

Argh, foiled again by logic.

funny and hot. *swoon* I spend way too much time on mfp looking at shirtless pics.

Agreed. It's clearly junk. :)

"As a group, the women rating men showed some preference for thin, muscular subjects, but disagreed on how attractive many men in the study were. Some women gave high attractiveness ratings to the men other women said were not attractive at all." Yes, they showed a preference but within that they still couldn't decide if…

This study shows that while men can agree on one type of attractiveness, women cannot. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/06/090626153511.htm ETA: yes it is sucky when people are judged by their looks alone.

If the person is in it for the long haul, they have to care more about personality than looks. Bodies change, we get old, even among bodybuilders there is a cut/bulk cycle. No one has a 6-pack ALL the time. We all have bloated days etc. It's a good thing.

^agree Nah, we are still claiming we prefer personality to looks.

Does this mean guys with 6-packs are having a hard time getting dates??? Because I am willing to take one for the team ladies!

"Are you as insecure about your penis as this thread would assume you must be? I mean, even if you have an average or above average penis, maybe you don't know that because you've only seen other penises in p*rn and so have an unrealistic idea of what a normal penis looks like, I can assure you that I've probably seen…

My favorite thing about this is it's gender neutral.

"I have an STD, you should probably get tested"

Now I want honey.

One thing I want to add. Relapses don't make you a failure and you don't have to start all over again. I've quit many times, my most recent was back in April 2012, I consider that my quit date, even though I've had a few cigarettes since then. Just like having one candy bar won't make you fat, one cigarette won't make you…

QFT OP, I'm glad you brought this up, the reactions are much harsher than I would have expected. I also feel like there are too many unhealthy treats peddled to us at work. Many social interactions in our culture revolve around food, and in general we can see the evidence of those unhealthy habits by the heavily increasing…

Wellllll, there are always those that have a preference for larger women. But I'm not interested in being fetishized.

This is a fascinating look at gender roles in our current social structure. Not to mention the way that money and power impact relationships. Last year I got an enormous promotion/raise, I make enough to support a family now. I don't care if the guy has any himself, if he is willing to be a SAHD and keep house I would so…

"Age is nothing but a number" You predominantly hear this in regards to dating. And that is something I have loads of experience with! When I was 18 I dated a guy who was 33. I had no interest in a long term thing, he did, so it didn't work. The old phrase, "we were at different places in our lives" comes to mind. Now I'm…

Every situation is different. But ultimately I want to be with someone who has passion, a passion for life, for work, a passion to be the best person they can be. Just because a person has a job and can pay bills doesn't mean they have passion. And vice versa.

I can't say that cleared anything up. I guess I'm just not nerdy enough.

I don't know what a CDO is.

I hadn't heard about the sodium or magnesium being an issue. I was actually on a low sodium diet by proxy because at that time I was living with my father who was in the last stages of liver failure. I will have to do more research to see what an appropriate balance looks like for me. Thank you so much for taking the time…

My doctor ran a bunch of tests, did blood work etc, and she couldn't figure out what was causing it either. Her suggestion was for me to try eating more nutrient dense foods and cut back on inflammatory foods, which she didn't extrapolate on so I had to do internet research and that kinda led me down a rabbit hole. OP,…

I was really hoping there was someone out there who might know what causes that reaction. I had the exact same problem a couple years ago, I was biking 20 miles a day 3 times a week and I would get headaches and just be run down and dizzy feeling. Everyone suggested I drink more water, so I did, everyone said more protein,…

This is the best advice I've seen on mfp. Or maybe ever. It's a mental challenge, keep doing what you know is right, even if you don't see the results right away. I will continue to remind myself of this. Health is my first priority, looking good is just a nice benefit. I really love your attitude!

This is why we are friends.

I love avocados and I love eggs, so I was sure I would love the egg baked in an avocado that I saw floating around everywhere. No. Not good. Soooo disappointing. Ate it anyway. Still love them separately, won't eat them together.

I want this thread to come alive again!

Did someone say Dinosaur?
