Being Receptive to Men "Doing For" you
I just posted this in the paying for dates thread, but would love to get opinions of those who might not be following that thread: Back in college (and, admittedly, the first couple months I became single again). I was the kind of woman who refused to let a man do anything for me. If he offered to open my door, I'd say,…

Men Does This Offend You?? (When to say you have an SO)?
So two ladies were talking about my other post. One of them, trim really good looking, long hair was friendly to 3 guys who came up during the course of our hanging out (I thought guys didn't approach women in groups of 3+???). Me and the other girl told her, "you know they're flirting with you, right?" and she told us she…

Broke my heart
Today I met a soldier whose face is grossly discolored and slightly disfigured from some previous military duty. It reminded me of an article (I can’t find but has stuck with me over the years) about a beautiful woman who was horribly disfigured and went from having lots of male suitors to having no one interested. No one…

Quick healthy pick-me-ups without caffeine?
I was up entirely too late doing homework. I haven’t had a soda in ages, so I'd like to avoid caffeine/candy, but I'm falling asleep and constantly yawning. anyone got some suggestions for healthy pick-me-ups I can take for the next meeting?

Excuses
When I go to work, I take two workout outfits: CrossFit clothes for lunchtime and running clothes for after work. Yesterday I went to CrossFit and discovered I'd forgotten to pack my CrossFit clothes. All I had was my running gear. I really didn't want to do CrossFit in my running gear, but decided to anyway. Burpees in…

AAACK!!! I need my PUA websites!!!!
Ok guys, weird request... not long ago my laptop crashed and while i was able to recover my files and emails before it got tossed I neglected to get my internet favorites. I had an amazing collection of PUA websites- websites geared towards men who want to improve their game with the ladies. I sent them out to several of…

LOVE the Rowing Machine!! Especially for "Bra Roll"
I hadn't rowed in YEARS but I got re-introduced to it in CrossFit a couple weeks ago. I think I am in love! This one machine worked my thighs (especially the hammies!!) my thighs, arms, and especially my BACK.... ladies, think BRA ROLL! That annoying fat over and under our bra straps. The motion of rowing works exactly…

Happy Singles Awareness Day to all my MFP peeps
http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/JanieJack/view/happy-singles-awareness-day-to-all-my-mfp-peeps-490277 If you're the type that cares about such things, nothing hurts more on V-day than being single... except being married to a man who no longer loves you, which made this day on of my least favorite holidays. I feel kinda…

A "Guy's Girl" I have no advice for her... do you?
Someone asked me what I thought about this scenario they found on a dating advice site. I'm guessing it's because they identify with the girl who wrote it. Unfortunately, my advice would be pessimistic: he wasn't serious (she would know if he was, because they would have started dating) and she should move on. I've had two…

Stupid V-Day Cards
So yesterday I mailed BB a V-Day card. It’s been years since I bought a man something for V-day and shopping for a card was an interesting experience for me. As expected, there were all kinds of great cards for men to give women. But for women to give men? Not so much. They appeared to come in two flavors, neither of which…

Women with Big Manly Shoulders
Ok guys...need advice...I posted this in my local CrossFit forum, but none of the ladies there really understand what I'm going through so I thought I'd ask you all. Please don't laugh too hard!! I put on a jacket I hadn't worn in a few weeks and the shoulders were VERY tight. I lost 7 pounds last month, so I know CrossFit…

Whaddya give a MAN for Valentines Day (long distance)?
OK, first of all, we're geographically separated now so I'm looking for something a little mroe applicable than the "S&BJ" jokes. V-Day mass marketing gives men a lot of pointers on what to give women, but what do you give MEN? My ex never did things like V-Day, B-Days, or anniversaries (even Christmas gifts stopped after…

Flirting Back- NIce Gesture or Wasting His Time?
Guys!! If you approach a woman and she is receptive (smiles, makes eye contact, basic chit-chat) do you get upset later and wish she wouldn't have wasted your time if the truth was she wasn't interested? I ask because I have always been taught that it takes a man a LOT of guts to come up and talk to you (let alone ask your…

I've been writing a series of blogs over on another fitness site that deals with the connection between health and emotions. I never understood people who say they gain weight when angry or under stress…

While I was out... WHAT on EARTH is going on???
Hi Everyone! I've been mostly offline for most of this month, and come back yesterday to find that most of my favorites are no longer in Single Peeps, several of my MFP friends have closed their accounts, and Carl stepped down as moderator. What on earth is going on? Feel free to PM me!!

Tears for a Street Beggar
Tears are flowing... At a stoplight one of "those guys" was begging for money with a sign that said, "Father of 2, laid off, desperate and humiliated having to beg. Please help." I thought to myself, what a great con... that "desperate and humiliated" line is sure to reel in the bleeding hearts. You see, I stopped giving…

Sometimes I hate being an hourglass figure!
Like right now...when I'm surrounded by amazing sales but none of the clothes fit my figure in a flattering way because they're likely designed for someone with no bust and no hips. Usually, though, it's great being so shapely! It just hard it is to find clothes that fit without tailoring.

Don't qualify your compliments, just give them!
Guess what someone said to me? "Girl you are SO fine! Everyone else likes those thin girls but I like a woman with some meat on her bones." My boss couldn't stop laughing about how rude that guy was. He'd have got a lot further if he'd have just stopped at "Girl you are SO fine?" I'm beginning to think the devil sends…

I'm Fatter Than My Husband
Article below is from the same site as the "getting over someone" thread: http://www.marieclaire.com/sex-love/relationship-issues/weight-gain-after-marriage?click=rel One one hand, I'm glad the author wrote such an honest article. Just tonight, out to dinner with my coworkers I was asking the perpetual bachelor what it was…

My friend’s fiancé hit on me
Ok, so they weren’t engaged when he did it, but still, I would have a hard time trusting a guy like this. They were dating for a few months. I met him at one of our races, and he was introduced to me as her boyfriend with him commenting that he found a keeper and things were getting serious. 3 months later, we’re both on…

Why do we believe the BAD but not the GOOD???
Posted this in another thread... why do you think we tend to accept the negative things people tell us about ourselves rather than the positive ones? Isn't it just as easy to believe the good stuff?

Lost Weight But Ticker Says "Zero Pounds"
Hi Everyone! I've been losing weight steadily for the 10 months I've been on MFP... but then I went on two trips and gained a lot of weight. The weight from the second trip came off quickly. The weight from the first trip remains with me and I'd like to re-set my MFP ticker. I logged my new weight but apparently that's not…

The Fatty in Zumba (Blog Post)
Blog post I hope is an encouragement to all the curvy girls who might be hesitant to try Zumba. I'm the largest one in there (180 lbs, size 16), but it's been very good for me. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/JanieJack/view/why-i-don-t-mind-being-the-fatty-in-zumba-450452 (and yes, I realize certain people will be…
