Gender bias and singledom
Despite the threads here and there about "why I love men" or "why I love women" there has been a theme in much of the recent posts about what's wrong with the opposite gender. It has mean wondering if there is a direction of causality between a cynical attitude of the opposite sex and not having much luck on the dating…

sexual incompatability
Let's say you're at the stage of a relationship where you start having sex. The sex is okay but not great for whatever reason. You and your partner both have orgasms but you wouldn't call it mind blowing by any stretch. The medium quality could be because you both prefer to be the aggressive or passive one. Size…

Is advise here worth much?
I ask this because one poster recently asked if there was a disconnect between MFP and reality. She had been constantly been told that she was attractive on here but received very few views and no responses to any emails she sent at online dating sites. I also saw a post where a guy asked women's opinions on shirtless…

85 pounds in 7 months with MFP, 170 pounds total
I don't have a picture from when I started using MFP in January. I lost 130 pounds before I ever heard of this site and was putting it back on to the point that I regained about 50 pounds. A local weather man wrote an about losing lose 60 pounds by using MFP in a Health and Fitness edition of the free throw-away paper. I…

Just an awesome NSV
I posted two new pictures on Facebook this weekend in a "before/during" album I created to track my progress. My brother, who I see once or twice a year and who never sugar coats anything, posted this comment on the album: "I'm not sure I would recognize you if we passed on the street." I think it's the nicest thing he's…

Six months using MFP with pics
This is the first time I am attempting to post pics. I hope this works. About 4 years ago I weigh what I estimate to be 465 pounds. Most likely it was more but I'll never know for sure. Over about a six month period of intense dieting, I lost 20 pounds. Around that time, a friend who lost his job came to live with me and…

oops. I think I helped break up a friend.
I don't drink much and was playing designated driver for a friend last night. We were going to a fireworks show and I picked him up and we went to get this girl he had gone on 5 or 6 dates with. She lives about 20 miles away. On the way back from her place we drove by a prison that the state is debating closing. We started…

Sometimes it's just good to spell correctly.
There is a blurb I am paraphrasing from a profile I saw last night. I never advocate talking negatively about exs or your dating experiences in your profiles but if you do, please know that "analyzed" is not spelled "analized". I'm not really sure the latter is a real word but I saw it misspelled in a profile numerous…

The girl of my dreams <3
I saw this profile on OKC. Thought I'd share it. My self-summary Since this is a dating site, I'm going to write all these "essays" from that perspective--with ALL the negative stuff. How's that for upfront? I don't date a lot (or ever) because I have yet to meet a guy that lives up to my pretty much unattainable…

Weekend Plans
What does everyone have planned for this weekend? I am meeting a friend in Las Vegas tomorrow night and taking Monday off work. Mainly just drinking, hanging out at the hotel pool and casino hopping. Looking forward to the Wynnn or Bellagio buffet. It's supposed to be 107 there tomorrow and 104 on Saturday. I am not…

Obesity, weight loss and perspective
About a month ago there was a post where a gal asked how losing weight affected ones view of herself. That thread targeted dating and relationships. I am wondering how weight loss has affected other peoples everyday life and relationships. I feel so much better and am way more active. I also think I get treated better…

Yikes - Be careful and use common sense

would you downplay your education on a dating site?
I've got the impression on several occasions that women were intimidated because they thought I may be too smart for them without even meeting me. This comes from a few friends who tried to set me up with someone they thought would be a good match or from a few gals I met through online sites that said they almost didn't…

My odd (perhaps gross, perhaps funny, perhaps both) NSV
I read a post a few days ago about a guy who lost enough weight that he could reach his finger to the end of his navel and that he could clean it out now so that his finger didn't stink when he pulled it out of his belly button. I never really thought of NSVs like that before. Most of mine have been comments about how much…

Heavy Lifting.
I keep seeing people comment that heavy lifting is necessary to decrease body fat percentage. How is "heavy lifting" being defined? It seems to me that some of the leanest people I see are people who do physical activity within their job and aren't necessarily doing heavy lifting but more or less medium weight for a long…

Hello, new to MFP
Hi to everyone on the MFP board. My name is Dave and I signed up here about 3 weeks ago after reading about one of our local weatherman's success using the site. I am 41 and weighed 363 this morning ( 6'4" tall). I've lost 17 pounds in the last three weeks. I am not sure what my heaviest weight was. I weighed 465 in…

lunch suggestions
Hi all, I am fairly new to MFP and love the site. I noticed that the lunch meat I was using for sandwiches has more sodium per sandwich than I should have in a day so I switched to some microwavable chicken dishes. The new lunches don't have near as much sodium as the lunch meat but still put me over what MFP recommends…
