Won't Put Up With Any Bull?
I was talking to a friend who just entered a relationship and, when I congratulated her, told me she wished she was as smart as I was, that she'd probably have found a man long ago. I told her (without thinking about it) the being smart isn't a good thing when it comes to men, that I got a lot of dates and while I expected…

Black Women Interracial Dating
I posted this in a dating forum (after all it IS a dating topic) but it got locked because the thread was preceived as too controversial. While I understand, after the mod explained why it was locked, I think it's really a shame that our culture is so risk-averse (and so incredibly sensitive) that we can't have this kind…

Cheating or Chatting?
There are several threads throughout the forums discussing male/female relationships and what constitutes crossing the line. I like this blog by Dr. Laura to help people know where to draw the line, and I'm curious what you all think: You can get more detail on the points at this article:…

When someone compliments you, do you believe them?
The body confidence post got me thinking… do you believe it when someone compliments your appearance? BB tells me all the time I’m the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. I don’t believe that. Don’t get me wrong: I’m pretty good looking, but I feel like I can’t possibly be the most beautiful woman he’s ever seen. There…

I'm so excited about my new motivational book!
I just published my book about overcoming hardship to achieve your goals. MFP has been a huge part of me accomplishing my fitness goals and the folks here have been really supportive as I wrote the book. Funny thing is, while I'm really excited about the whole thing I'm also scared to death to sign the book at my annual…

Um... Thanks??? Unsolicited Stay Away From CrossFit Advice
I just received some spam from someone telling me that CrossFit is bad for us. I'm not sure if this unsolicited advice came with an expectation that I would thank the sender... I suppose they felt they were doing their public service by helping me see the error of my ways...? I do realize there are a lot of injuries…

S/he puts me in my place
One strangely common phrase I’m hearing about people who describe their SOs is “one thing I really love about her/him is s/he really puts me in my place and doesn’t take any sctuff from me.” What do you think about that?

What does he mean when he says "I'm just testing you"
A friend (not the eHarmony one) posed this question, and I really don't know. I don’t take it positively, and I’m curious what you think: She was with a date who had previously respected her boundaries, but this particular night tried to push things again. She told him "it's time for you to go," and he laughingly told her…

If any of y'all have recommendations, or wanna tag along with me as I go look at houses do let me know. My weekend will be punctuated by a funeral unfortunately, so I will likely spending my…

You look so slim...Ouch...That hurts
Was showing my coworker a pic from last week's color run. She said, who is that? I told her that was me. She said, without thinking, "wow, you look so slim I didn't recognize you." She kept looking at me and the pic as if to reconcile the image with the reality. I thought it was taken at a great angle, but didn't realize I…

Tampon String Hanging out... Would you tell her?
Heard this discussion on the radio while driving to work today. Apparently, the show host was at a pool party and a girl had a tampon string hanging out of her bikini. No one wanted to tell the lady to go in the bathroom and fix it. Would you want to be told? Would you have told her?

Steve Harvey – Do you know what your partner thinks of you?
I’ve just finished Steve Harvey’s book “Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man.” Some good points, though several of his key points got on my nerves. One thing that caught me off guard was that he said that you should know what your partner both feels AND thinks of you, and he’s careful to note that these are two things are not…

Would you tell your girlfriend to put on makeup?
Been discussing this in another forum... and I suspect the responses are colored by people's attempts to play nice (and be attractive to fellow singles) so I'd love your raw opinions on this, thanks! A guy friend me what he would say to his girlfriend: She is the type that can dress up or dress down and he’s usually happy…

JustHookup.com
Really? This ad keeps scrolling across my MFP screens. Can't quite explain why, but the thought just makes me feel sad. (Though I can't help but laugh about how none of the women on the homepage are as "sexy" as the ones in the ad- they're cute, but not the huge-busted sexy posed women in the ad)

Bad Teeth Prevent Good Sex
Ok so someone dogged me out for telling my boyfriend he had bad teeth (as I mentioned in another thread). If he keeps up with taking care of they're ok, just permanent stains from when he had braces as a kid, but over the course of the week they can get REALLY brown and discolored really quick if he doesn’t stay on them.…

Was Fat, now Average/Thin (Book Excerpt-long post)
Folks, the recent blog re-posted by dbrightwell in the “SERIOUSLY” thread reminded me of the section of my upcoming book that will be posted on my website as a teaser. The book was sent to the editor back in Jan, and I hope to have it in bookstores this summer. I’d like to share this section with you and would love your…

Is it lame that I...
felt SO AWESOME when I got to time one of our rounds? Our coach needed to go back to work, so he asked a veteran to time the third round. The vet wanted to go again, so I volunteered to time the gang, and they let me. Sounds dumb as I type it out, but at the time I felt like such a part of the team I was glowing for the…

Would you pay your ex’s mortgage?
My friend is still on the loan of the house his ex got as part of their divorce settlement. She is constantly behind (usually 1-2 months) on the mortgage and recently got so far behind that the bank was threatening foreclosure. She came up with some money to stay off foreclosure, but remains behind. He’s tired of getting…

“SPIN” must translate to “DEATH” in some foreign language
What was I thinking?? WHY on earth did I sign up for a spin class? I should have known, when I saw the size 2 instructor, and all the super fit people preparing for her class, that the word “SPIN” must translate to “DEATH” in some foreign language. I persevered, though, and got an AMAZING workout! Couple things I noticed:…

Online Dating Intro Messages... Would you have responded?
I was deleting emails and found a folder of all the original Match.com messages that my favorite guys wrote. Interesting that most of them were short and sweet. The one message in that was very detailed and the guy obviously combed my profile sprinkling things I wrote throughout is the guy who on our second date shook me…

Ex asks me to tell my friend it’s ok to date him
Yesterday I had one of the most awkward convos ever… with my ex husband!! He is a minister in my home church and was initially removed from his position upon our divorce, but has been reinstated for a few years now and now wants to date someone we both knew from that church. She told him she was interested but it would be…

How to Tell You're Just a Booty Call
Guys, I know this may cramp your style of hitting on the MFP honies, but if you don't mind, pls share some tips (here or via PM) with the ladies on how to know "the amazing guy" they're getting to know is just looking for a booty call. From another thread: From what I've read, even a lot on this forum, seems like most guys…

"Dating" in Europe
On another website I frequent, they are discussing dating and specifically the recommendation that you go on at least 30 dates after divorce before getting involved in another relationship. Several folks commented that in Europe (one from the continent as well as one from England) casual dating just isn't done. That "It's…

For Guys who want "Professional Women"
I was cleaning out my PMs and came across this: I often hear guys say they want "professional women" but then they don't want to date my peers (kinda like when they say they want "smart women" but they tend to go for ditzes) so I'm wondering if other guys mean the same thing as the one who wrote the quote? Edit... in the…
