Painful Conversation
Ugh… I felt so bad for this poor guy… I wish I knew how to avoid these kinds of convos while still getting to know someone, because he seemed like a cool guy… the end of each question got more and more awkward and I felt like all my answers were making him feel worse. I try to keep convos to light stuff, but everyone…

Why did you poof?
No judging, no anger.... I'm just curious. If you've ever poofed on someone, or have a friend who did, tell us why? I, personally, don't like to poof. I usually say "Thanks but I don't think we're compatible." If they ask for more detail I'll tell them. But I have poofed on guys who invite me back to their place at the end…

Plus size shallow girl and gold-digging guy
Yep. I’m watching Millionaire Matchmaker again. This time she featured a plus size millionairess who had a beautiful face, shapely body, but was very very shallow. Her sole reason for choosing a guy was his looks. I cringed when she chose the “hot guy” who back stage had already told the camera that he’d never dated…

Do men really feel this way?
This statement from another thread got me thinking about guys over the years who have showered me with time, attention and even gifts. I thought they were just enjoying the company of a friend- much like I enjoy spending time with my friends and treating them to little gifts. The time we spent talking I enjoyed in its own…

How do you log weight/aerobic videos like The FIRM or Joyce
Hi. I use weight training videos like The FIRM, Joyce Vedral's Bottoms Up, and Karen Voight Sweat Effects. I am having trouble figuring out how to log the video I did today- since I really don't remember what all the exercises were and how many reps we did of each one. It was basically a series of exercises for the upper…

Guy in the Friendzone, what should he do?
What should a guy do if he is in the friendzone, and the object of his affection starts dating someone else? Ladies, if it were you, and one of your guy friends really wants to tell you now that you're dating someone, how would you want the guy to respond?

Married Woman Who Leads Men On, Then Gets Upset When They
What do you think about a married woman who always becomes emotional support for the divorcing men at work? She’s notorious for flirting/talking sexy with them, then after a long time of taking her out, hugging, and daily gift visits, she gets upset when they make a move on her. Then she moves on to a new guy. The guys are…

From “Aww, that’s so cute” to “ARG! that’s SO Annoying!!”
Went on a day trip with Mr. BeardBurn and, while at a gas station, I couldn’t make up my mind what to drink. I was tired of water, and if I was actually gonna ingest calories, I wanted to make each one count. They didn’t have anything I wanted and as I walked back and forth looking at what was available, he laughed. I…

Women be Women and Men be Men
Am watching Millionaire Matchmaker and was surprised to hear this convo between Patti, Hatch (the guy she sent to chivalry camp), and the chivalry camp instructor. Wow.. that's soooo not in line w/today's culture. What do you think? PS: As I typed, another part of the show, one of the girls says she likes a guy with…

When You're Joking, but They Think It's Serious
A friend joked around with me the other day about how if we’re both still single in 5 years we oughta get married. I didn’t think much about it since the girl he really likes (a mutual friend he's asked me for advice about) was sitting right there. So when I was relaying this convo to a male friend, I was surprised when he…

Secret Relationships
Have you, or anyone you’ve known, kept a budding relationship secret until it became really solid? My initial instinct in such situations is that there’s an affair or some other negative reason behind wanting to keep things secret. BUT when I became single a couple years ago, some of my single friends recommended I keep…

Online Cheating
Just wrote a blog post in response to a thought in this thread: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/682510-online-cheating?page=19 I'm sure there will be some people where with different perspective from mine... so I'd like to know what do you all think? One poster: The response that moved me: I accidentally deleted my…

Would it bother you if s/he didn't know why they fell apart?
Have been getting to know someone over the last couple months…I’m concerned because he said he really had no idea why his 2 marriages fell apart. This bothers me because there’s always at least one significant reason for a relationship to fail. I’m hoping this is just because he’s not willing to talk about this with a…

When women say "I don't have female friends"
Are there any stereotypes that come to mind when you hear a woman say this??

"Serial dater" What does that phrase mean to you?

Why does this bother me more than if he said he had a
Someone I haven't met in person (and won't... let's face it, I'm moving in 6 weeks) wrote this (unsolicited) about his son, who he has 50% of the time: "His mother and I are still really good friends and respect each other highly. Our relationship just didn't work out and it is what it is." For some reason, this makes me…

Does needing space always mean s/he's not the one?
48 hours of travel gave me lots of time to think up questions for y'all... lol... When I hear girlfriends say their bf "needs space," I think back to the (admittedly, very few) times I ever felt that way; where I felt like the guy I was seeing was too into me. I didn't want to cut him off completely (he was hot, fun,…

Poll: Bacon or Ice Cream?
Saw this posted on someone else's wall: If I could have calorie-free bacon that doesn't cause me to swell up for the rest of my life I'd GLADLY give up ice cream!!

How do you judge fitness/activity level?
I've read many posts here where people say they (like me) want a future partner who is fit and active. That makes sense, since we're all on MFP to improve our health and fitness. Other than looks, how can you decide (in the first couple minutes you meet someone and decide whether or not you want their number) that they…

Overthinking it
Haven't fully read through this site yet, but had a great chuckle at a couple things and thought I'd share this with my fellow over-analyzers. http://www.overthinkingit.com/ enjoy!

No one likes being 2nd Choice
So there's this guy... lol... 1st date was a bust: lunch date; meeting ran late so I didn't have time to change out of uniform like I usually do, and he ended up pushing it back, so I thought I would shop next door and ended up being 5 minutes late (for the new time). Which would normally be ok, but not when I told him I…

It's like big boobs and fat girls
I forget what we were talking about, but at one point my brother exclaimed, "It's like big boobs and fat girls." I looked at him quizzically, not knowing what he meant, and he continued, "... no matter how small she is now, if she has big boobs you already know she's eventually gonna be FAT!" Anyone else ever heard this…

Mom said "run away"
Online briefly to log the exercise from the trip so far... and thought you all would get a kick out of my mom telling me to run far away from mr "I don't know why my 2 marriages fell apart." Funny thing is, I didn't even get to tell her about that part... she asked about his finances, and when I told her that his dad…

Venice Singles?
I know we have a strong UK presence here in Single Peeps, but is there anyone from Venice Italy? I'm heading there tonight for a bit of "pre-deployment" fun with my family. I'm the only one single, so I'm definately open to meeting new friends while in town. JJ

What does it mean when a guy says, "I'm complicated"
Friend went to an event with a guy. They'd had one date and felt some chemistry, but she wasn't sure if this was a date or an outing since it had been a month or two. Unlike the 1st date, where the guy was all over her, this time he was very platonic- keeping distance even when she tried to get close. She gave up trying to…

Drop Dead Diva (Show)
Anyone ever heard of/seen this show? I discovered it today when looking for something to watch on the treadmill. It's about this hot, blonde model who dies and faces judgement. She thinks she cheats death by forcing her way back to earth but wakes up instead in the body of a plus-sized lawyer. I just now googled it and…

The Sky Is Blue, No Matter How Red You Want It
Got a newsletter from that Katz guy someone here told us about. His point was that a lot of people focus on what the opposite sex SHOULD be as opposed to how they ARE, and, that kind of wishing is no more useful than wishing the sky would be RED just because that’s your favorite color. You can dream about a red sky, gripe…
