Weird answer as to why it worked for me
I mentioned to a guy friend how surprised I am to find so many on this forum dog out online dating when I met WAY more quality men from Match.com than I did in IRL. All but 1 of the guys I met IRL either never actually called or took me out, and if they did they were jerks. Yet I met some really great guys online just not…

If she can't come...
TMI alert... squeamish may want to skip this one... but here’s a question I’ve been dying to ask the guys I have a friend who is similar to the girl grum84 mentioned below (quoted from the "What women do" thread). She enjoys the closeness but often can't finish. She's tried telling the guy what to do better and it all…

Would you be hurt if your SO thought others looked better?
Was talking with a coworker about how his woman will be the one that thinks he's the hottest man in the room. I didn't tell him, but this guy wasn't exactly "good looking," and I was hoping to plant a seed that would help him in the future, so I told him how many of my friends (and myself included) often fall for a man on…

bananas make you gain weight??
Hello. A friend told me that when she was underweight and trying to gain weight to join the military, her recruiter told her to eat bananas and milkshakes. I'd heard that dairy causes the body to increase the body's predisposition to storing fat but hadn't heard anything about bananas. Your thoughts?

Is this really “adorable” to guys?
Last night BB and I were talking as I drove home. It was a long day and I was done well past my bedtime. Someone cut me off and I grumbled about people who need to learn how to drive. He said he could picture me making my cranky pouty face. “What??” I said, “I don’t have a cranky pouty face!!” “Yes you do,” he replied: “I…

I dunno....
When I read Yoovie's post, I hoped that no one believed all of it but I do recall all of those opinions being expressed on this board. Which is why, despite the fact that I like to post here and get everyone's opinions, you shouldn't believe everything said by perfect strangers on the internet. And you certainly shouldn't…

That awkward moment when
That awkward moment when you look in the mirror and realize that the arrogant, "all about me" look that annoys you about your son... he got from YOU. Yep. That. Just. Happened.

Hoarding!! And Hoarders vs Tossers in Relationships
I am having SUCH a hard time packing! My house is always crawling with guests, so it's not like I have "TOO MUCH" extra stuff... but now that I am gonna have to PAY to store all this stuff I'm having to be really hard on myself to whittle down. I'm finding it difficult to part with even DUMB stuff...yet at the same time I…

Hoarding!! And Hoarders vs Tossers in Relationships
Post I just did on Single Peeps, and thought people on the main forum would enjoy (ps: if you haven't checked out Single Peeps, it's a great MFP forum to discuss relationship questions):

Signs of Stress
Doing some deployment training... they've updated their "signs of stress" from what was listed in previous years. I hear some saying… why is she posting this? It does not apply to me. I thought that once: When I was nursing my son, my milk was beginning to dry up and my hair was falling out. I conferred w/the nurse about…

Even Honey Boo Boo's Mama has a boyfriend
Can't remember if it's one of my IRL friends or one of you MFPers who said it, but kudos to whoever told me last week, "Even Honey Boo Boo's mama has a boyfriend... which made me feel bad til I realized I'd rather be single than have a man like THAT."

Snoring! How to stop it!
My brief google research has yielded a huge spectrum of answers from the "Take XYZ wonder pill to cure your snoring" to the pessimistic "nothing works, just deal with it." I know, in my case, the amount I snore is directly related to my weight. Below a certain weight, I don't snore. But what if you or a significant other…

Crazy Food Allergies
I'm swollen today. Why? Because I ate 6 big fat pork ribs after being told it was beef, and gained 9 pounds of water weight overnight. Can barely fit in my uniform today!! Before you jump on me for not knowing the difference: it's been a long time since I had ribs and with that amazing spice and sauce who really knows what…

Glad I got the memo!
"Is that your girlfriend?" "No, but we’re headed that way." This convo makes me cringe!! Went to see Beardburn’s football game the other night. I was a little miffed that when his student asked if I was his girlfriend, he said "No, but we're headed that way?" It’s not that I *want* to be “someone’s girlfriend” so much as…

Omaha Single Peeps??
Last minute work trip to Omaha (as in, was booking hotel this morning). If we have any single ladies in the area, hit me up! I'd love to go to dinner or just hang out for a bit.

Guys: Do you feel “Waiting For Sex” means you have to
Guys: Do You Feel “Waiting For Sex” Means You Have to Prove Yourselves Question for the guys: When a woman tells you she’s “Waiting For Sex” do you feel like that means you have to prove yourselves? If so, what exactly does that mean? I’ve been hearing that a lot lately in the PMs I get, but I don’t understand it. What I…

Poor Self Esteem, Chasing After Hotties/Players
My friends and I were talking about a guy friend who will only date perfect 10 really young girls. Someone said that was evidence of his low self-esteem; that he buys the attention of these girls to feel better about himself. I never thought about it as “low self esteem.” I actually thought he just knew his high value…

Entrapment with fake online profiles
Stumbled across a blog post on why we should cool it with the cyberstalking of our dates. What really caught my eye was a comment in which one guy tells the story about creating a fake profile to entrap his ex girlfriend. A lot of people jumped on him as a total jerk. I actually didn't think it was a jerky thing to do...…

Handling Disappointment
Last week when I found out that one of my deployment shots (anthrax vaccine) had ruined vision in my left eye permanently. The eye doctor is great and working with me to overcome this but I was really disappointed. I took time off to mope around the house and reached out to Mr. Beardburn, who lives an hour away. We decided…

Why is she getting LESS male attention than at 300+ lbs??
UsedToBeHusky posed this question in another thread. I sent her some thoughts, but I’m not a guy so I’m pulling this into its own thread. Men… what say you? Even though you probably don’t know her in person, what comes to mind when you hear the question? Why would she get less attention now??

Meeting the parents?
What does introducing your SO (or potential SO) mean to you, if anything? What would if mean (to you) if you were getting to know someone and s/he introduced you to his/her parents?

JJ the Man-Hater
This has been a very awkward weekend for me. I gathered a group of friends to go to Beardburn's high school football game. Finally get to see him large and in charge :laugh: Well, then I find out his parents are coming. What??? Why would this guy have his parents detour from their trip to meet me??? THEN.... I get there…

You always go for players, can't see a guy really likes you
This is what my friends told me this weekend: "you always go for the players, and you can't see when a good guy really likes you." My initial response was, that's NOT true! But when I think about most of my dating stories, they're guys who were players. If you asked me what kind of guy I go for, I would have said the nice…

Why men should help around the house
Lemme tell you what my 6 year old did before I sent him to live with his father while I deploy: He cleaned his room and then cleaned the living room. When I came out and was pleased and surprised you know what he told me? "I did this for you mommy, so you would have more time to cuddle and play with me." Smart kid. I…

Opinions are like noses: everyone's got one
Pulled this from the Dr. Laura's thread. MikeM53082 made the original comment, but it could just as easily come from many others. What do you think about this trend of dismissing someone's opinion because they aren't someone you'd date? Can we reverse the trend? Feel free to PM me if you don't wanna post here. I really…

Dr. Laura: Male Expectations Have Changed
Checked out Dr. Laura's YouTube channel yesterday. In one of the videos, she says: Not advocating a return to the “old ways” necessarily…but when current ads show the man of the house on the couch playing video games and the woman comes home from work and starts vacuuming, I'm not sure we've progressed as far as people…
