I think I got this down, what do you think? Posted: 10/21/2009 7:19:15 PM
I've been on this site for a few years now, and have met up with a few of the members that ended up being good dating partners. Nothing has come to a relationship, and I'm fine with that, there's plenty of fish in the sea and I'll keep looking till I find the right match. I'm just looking for some criticism on my current profile. I've changed a few things now and again, but as it is, it's been the same for a while now. I don't really know what else to do to it, and things have been pretty dry lately. Let me know what your thoughts are, Thanks!

Stretch Marks .... Posted: 4/11/2008 6:50:30 AM
I find that while nice and perfect skin is nice....it really does not compute into what attracts me to a girl. I have been very attracted to girls that have achene breaks out son there face pretty bad....and I could guess that even if they had bad stretch marks I'd look over that too. Do I find there body attractive? nice eyes and hair? Do I find there face beautiful? ( again even skin for some reason does not matter to me even on the face) Maybe its because I had break outs when I was younger and know they can go away..or can not be helped? I have small stretch marks myself from gaining bicept size at the gym, but they are small and from excersize...got gaining excessive wight. So I would have to say in the end no...its not the stretch marks that are the turn off...but a factor where the stretch marks come from could be another issue entirely.

Is height important guys? Posted: 4/11/2008 6:44:11 AM
For me it would be a bit odd if I dated a taller women, seeing that I am 6 foot 4. But since I am taller then average I do not think I can really comment on how shorter guys would feel with a taller women. But dang you girls are hard to find! Please find a nice tall guy! lol. With the average height of girls being 5 foot4-5 foot 6, we have to bend way down to kiss you, and that usually entails you getting up on your tippy toes...so spontaneous kisses are more complicated! I dated a 5 foot 11 girl last and I loved her height! when she wore heels though it was a bit odd because she was brought to 6 foot plus...lol. So I guess with heels I had a slite taste of what it would feel like if the girls was closer to my height. I have a A&P teacher right now who is 6 foot 2 and wears heals...OMG thats odd standing next to her. Another note is that if the guy is taller, I think I find it easier for him to wrap his arms around your waist when he is holding you from the side, front or back.

Stretch Marks, TurnOn? Or Gross Out. Posted: 4/11/2008 6:36:03 AM
I'm only 21 and I've just started to see my first stretch marks. I got them in front of my arm pits between my bicept and pec's. I never had them there before I started weight lifting, and I am guessing since I gained a inch in size on my bicepts in the last year, that its just from that. Also I have noticed in the morning when I just wake up you can hardly see them, just a slite pink color, but after a good work out session they stand out like read lightning bolts against a white back ground...Should be interesting to see what they look like in the summer when I get a bit tanner.

is anyone here willing to wait until marriage? Posted: 4/9/2008 5:16:06 AM
Because to a Christian, the way the person behaves sexually is not anywhere as near important as how they behave in other areas of there life. To a Christian, it's not about pleasing yourself, and getting what you want, it's about God's WILL attested through the bible. Lots of Christians actually end up staying single because of this. You can scoff at it all you want, but its a belief they feel so strongly about, that most are willing to die for. Are you willing to die for the sex? prolly not.....

is anyone here willing to wait until marriage? Posted: 4/8/2008 9:23:08 PM
It usually is a matter of Faith, and religion. Apart from God, they are right, it does not make sense. So sticking to the moral ground, it would have to be a personal decision on both parties. It's still possible even if both parties are not virgins...its just harder because once you have had sex, its harder to say no. If one party wants to wait while the other does not, well then they are NOT right for each other. They have different values and goals, and the one who does not want to wait will end up pressuring the one that wants to wait to compromise his/her current values to his/her own. It's all a personal choice, and you all answered accordingly for your selves. But there are people out there that have waited, and have great, life long relationship that are very strong, and rock solid. You can especially see this fact because it was more common back in the day, especially around religious groups. I will give you that yes, people still had sex before marriage and that the majority did wait, I can't make that claim, but it did happen and good relationships were a result. Infact it was expected more then not back then. It does make me wonder why we had less divorces back then...but imo that can leads to talk about how womens rights were very different back then, which is a very true and viable factor.

I will help you out Posted: 4/8/2008 6:47:21 PM
Thanks for the remarks every one, it's always good to see things from another point of view, and I will change a few things accordingly. The screen name is actually my AOL screen name. Originally it was my xbox online screen name. I kept the spartan part though even after because I like the idea of spartan in terms on living a non cluttered life, and only having the things you need, verse lots of accessory junk. So while when people see spartan, they may thing the movie 300 and violence, its actually a life style or a descriptive term. I added the military picture because I always thought the ladies like a man in uniform ;) but you are right I should say something about it. I was actually part of a Search and Rescue / Disaster Relief team for a year down in Texas which was run just like the military, but it's civilian. It's always something I can bring up later, but usually not something I hold up as a advertisement. Your all right about the last part being over the top, that stuff can be discovered later on...

Do Men Realize Posted: 4/8/2008 11:41:24 AM
Some men do it as well. I know I have done it in the past. I do try and stick to simpler things to re-enforce what I should believe is true. Oh and from a guy that has a Motorcycle, its ok to tell a guy to be careful. It's just showing you care because you know its already dangerous(which it is even if the guy is the perfect driver). It may run through my mind that the person things I'm reckless and do stupid stuff on purpose..then I think back and I am like..oh yeah there have been times I have taken turns to fast or gone way faster then I should have...dang maybe I should sell the bike..hahaha( and I am, lol) But any way, if you say be careful and they get mad, just tell them you care enough to make that comment. Other wise, communication is very important. Some guys do not like to talk, others will explain exactly what they meant by what ever action you may be reading to far into. And if they tell you it's simpler then it looks, please do not try and tell them how they should have done it not to give you that impression, because things become to complicated every time and guy tries to go do something.

Am I saying something I should not? Perhaps some suggestions on something I can add about myself that others would like to know? Pictures not over doing it? I've changed it around more then a few times, I seam to never be happy with it. Thanks for any input.

Gym Etiquette? Posted: 4/6/2008 7:22:15 AM
Steps to take using a gym: wipe down equipment before and after use Wear flip flops or other water shoes while in the locker room and or shower/pool area. if you sit down on a surface, use a barrier, such as pants, or a towel. Maybe bring your own sany wipes if the gym does not provide them for you. Using barriers and common sense can prevent transmission of any major bacteria or viral infection..oh and make sure cuts are covered! Your skin does a amazing job of protecting your body from these diseases, so just make sure you take a good shower at HOME after words where you have a bit more control over things. on another note...after just taking MicroBiology, there are NOT that many pathogenic bacteria out there. The vast majority will not effect you. Use common sense, do not roll around in a unknown liquids, and keep a healthy immune system, and you will be fine. Healthy immune system here is key. I have not been sick in over 4 years. I know not every one can say that, but hey, I've worked at a gym for that past 4 years, I should have gotten something right?

protein advice please Posted: 4/3/2008 8:26:46 PM
Studies have actually shows that you do not need as much protein as 1 gram a day even when bulking up. I'll try and find my source, but a study was done with 3 groups. The first group consumed the most and 1.5 gram per lean body mass. The second group, .8 grams per lean body mass, and the last group only ate 100 grams a day. Training/other diets were kept consistent and no gain differences were observed over a 3 month period. I myself like to stay with the 1 gram per LEAN body weight as well ( your weight with no fat) But for a big guy like me were my lean body mass is 230-240 pounds, thats a lot of protein shakes in a day. I have found that if I make sure I drink 1 in the morning, 1 before weights, 1 after, and one at night, I am set. The rest of my diet I try and very and include at least a little protein from other sources. If your lifting, your going to need to keep a supplement, or eat more to stop phagocytosis of your muscles...so just make sure you eat enough at the right times ( before and after is the MOST important) (keep in mind though the shakes I consume have 3 scoop in them and contain 24 grams of whey per scoop, and 120 caleries. I preffer GNC proteins or gold standard)

Hydroxycut Posted: 4/2/2008 8:14:49 PM
There is 300 mg in 1 dose (3 pills) But that's only 1/4 of what ever they put in the pill. The energy boost is very real when you are lifting weights though. You can literally lift more and longer with these supplements, hence you do get more out of your work out in the long run. BUT YOU STILL GET THE CRASH. and never bring up that 5 hour energy b12 shot thing...thats a joke. For the past 2 years I have been at the gym 6 days a week almost 2 hours a day...some day are just super hard to get motivated. so I may be sitting at my computer and take a dose of redline and a few minutes later I feel a bit of a rush, so I'm ready to go use it at the gym and work it off. Thats what I get out of it any way.

Hydroxycut Posted: 4/2/2008 4:58:42 PM
I have some experience with hydroxy cut, I used it for 6 weeks last summer and I have a bottle now that a buddy gave to me for free...and there is a reason it was free, it does not work! First you need to realize what these pills do. They increase your metabolism, and they do it primarily via Caffeine. So...DO NOT use them for cardio, you already putting your heart under stress, you do not want to kill yourself ( I learned that one the hard way) If your going to use it before weight lifting, make sure you have good ventilation and do not over do it, it will give you a good energy boost for heavier weights, but watch your pulse, its going to go way up! You WILL feel withdraw effects after use. That being said, I used it for 6 weeks, I took a dose in the morning 30 minutes before my cardio, and again in the after noon 30 minutes before my weight training. I saw no great effect. That being said I tried out Redline in the serup(another thermogenic known to be more powerfull) form and its kicking my butt....I've lost 20 pounds since the start of the year and it really gave me the energy I need to get through my giant sets...that being said, again I prolly could have lost the same weight with out using it at all. My opinion? save your money, and if you already bought it, save the pill if you do not have time for coffee and pop 1 ( as thats what 1 pill is worth) thats all I'm using my hydroxycut pills for.

Deffinition of Average in america and Canada from statistics Posted: 3/10/2008 7:27:47 PM
Weight itself is most certainly not the issue. People can vary way to much to go off weight alone. That why a full body picture is worth a MILLION w0rds. Go ahead and post the description that best fits you(in your mind), but please post that picture, because it can be awkward for a guy to ask for a full body picture! I am 265 pounds and I am at 10% Body fat, which is pretty good body fat wise. But I am also 6 foot 3.5 inches. But on the other hand I have friends at the gym that are the same height, and they only weight 200 pounds and they are muscular too....This is were Bone mass and physiology comes in. I'm just a big dude, I weight a lot, and its not because I am fat. I will always covet those lighter guys, and they will always covet my weight...thats just how it is. Its like what feature do you look for in a mate physically wise...well first I say Face...because that has to be in order. Next for me is the Butt..because if thats taken care of the rest of the body follows suit...lol.

Best cardio machine Posted: 2/20/2008 9:16:15 PM
I would personally recommend a high quality Elliptical. The larger, smoother ellipticals are very easy to stay on and give you a excellent, smooth work out. They are very easy on your joints, and you can easily monitor your heart rate as you go. You can varry your work out with resistance's and speed, as as long as you keep your heart rate in the Burn zone(130-150), you will do great! The nicer ellipticals I am taking about cost around $2500, the type you see at the gym typically...those cheap ones you see at**** are not worth the labels they are printed on. ( I work at a gym) I use a elliptical 30 minutes 6 days a week after my weight workouts and love them!

Nurses in USA Posted: 2/20/2008 9:11:01 PM
I am a Certified Nursing Assistant/ GNA and the typical starting pay for that is $12 in a hospital...not that great. I am in school now for Nursing, and as a CNA I have had soo many recruiters trying to talk me into joining there hospital team here in Baltimore. Job Demand is super high, pay scale and schedules are also great. Its a awesome field/job! If you can work the harder shifts (nights and weekends) you can really make bank as they usually pay much better.

What is your kyptonite at the gym? Posted: 2/13/2008 12:54:19 PM
The FDA does not look into every thing as well as you may think. There are a lot of products out there that work exactly like steroids and they just glazed over them! But for SOY, it has been proven that a high intake of SOY protein in men can cause a higher level of estrogen. That means Man Titties incase you did not know ;) I recommend that SOY protein be used for women, and Whey for men. You can ever get Isopure which uses whey protein but is lactose free.

Fun with Viagra Posted: 2/10/2008 6:01:25 PM
Actually what some people have wrong here is that prescriptions are not filled just because it can help you. These types of prescriptions can be handed out as long as they do not hurt you, and so that they are not abused. There are many drugs that enhance ones ability, but if they are combined with other drugs, they can hurt you. On the addition, drugs or supplements that can be harmful if over used, are typically prescription required to cut back on how much a individual can get there hands on at a given time. Primarily many supplements like Vitamin-V are prescription only because if they are combined with other drugs, can be harmful. So they want you to talk to a doctor who will make sure you are not mixing drugs, and are healthy enough in the first place to have that kind of sex.

Any guys out there ever pop your penis during sex??? Posted: 2/10/2008 5:51:31 PM
Artist: King Missile Song: Detatchable Penis Lyrics : I woke up this morning with a bad hangover And my penis was missing again. This happens all the time. It's detachable. [background singing begins: "detachable penis" over and over] This comes in handy a lot of the time. I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble, or I can rent it out, when I don't need it. But now and then I go to a party, get drunk, and the next morning I can't for the life of me remember what I did with it. First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it. So I called up the place where the party was, they hadn't seen it either. I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes But not this time. So I told them if it pops up to let me know. I called a few people who were at the party, but they were no help either. I was starting to get desperate. I really don't like being without my penis for too long. It makes me feel like less of a man, and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak. After a few hours of searching the house, and calling everyone I could think of, I was starting to get very depressed, so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast. Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place, where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw my penis lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven. Some guy was selling it. I had to buy it off him. He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen. I took it home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete. People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached, but I don't know. Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis.

What is your kyptonite at the gym? Posted: 2/7/2008 9:52:21 PM
People that camp gym equipment... especially when you are on it. It happens almost every time... Next muscle group in your routine, you spot an empty machine... set the weights, have a seat (or whatever), and a minute into your first set, here comes some idiot who drops a dufflebag by your feet waiting for your machine. Stop acting impatient, go find another machine to work on. It's not going to make me go any faster.... infact... I do believe I take extra pleasure in going slower at that point. -------------------------- Oh I freaking hate it when people sit on machines and hog them! Not every gym has multiples of the same equipment. If they look like they want to use the machine, ask them if they want to share the machine and swap on and off. For me thats a huge problem because I never just use one machine, I do supersets, switching between 2 and sometimes 4 machines with no rest. I let my muscles rest while I am working out another muscle group.I have no problem having a 20 second delay for swapping out the seat position and weights to share machines with people. But when they sit there for 4 sets, taking 90 seconds in-between...gahh it just gets on my nerves. (I work at a gym)

Ok, so heres what's going on. I met this girl on Match...ok well she winked at me, and I tried her screen name she used on match on AIM and it worked, and started talking 3 weeks ago. The week we started talking we met for dinner and stayed till we got kicked out because they were closing(3 hours), next the aquarium, and that went well. I have been to her place to cuddle up for a movie, and even went to her collage to help her with a project she was doing in her psych class to make pb and j sandwiches for the homeless. We have kissed, and I really like this girl. We have talked about the fact that it's going to take some time to be official because she feels she needs more time from a 2 year relationship she got out of. My semester is very busy and since I got out of a relationship that I was very attached to 3 months ago, I tend to agree. I know she likes me, but I am also pretty sure I am attached more to her already then she is to me...thats just how I am when I make my mind up, and I need help on how to control that. Here is my question. The relationship I had with my last girlfriend moved very fast I think just because we both wanted it to be that way, which could have been a big reason as to why it did not last. But I want to take it slow and I want to make this last. She is a amazing girl, she is tall, and beautiful. Is texting her every day ok? Saying good morning, trying to say something cute to get her to smile (as she has told me I have done before) We are both very busy, but I would not mind spending all my free time with her, though I want to give her time for friends and school work. Any one have advice for a guy that's used to moving fast to slow the heck down? And for the reason of the title. Valentines Day is coming up. It can either be a great day, or a terrible day, mostly because people rush things. I rote her a Poem and I plan to go get her a build-a-bear and name it "Gummy" because it's a inside joke for us that she knows I love Gummy Bears. Would you girls mind looking over it and telling me if it's over the top? maybe I should just go with the poem and not the bear, or maybe the bear and not the poem? in the end I will make up my own mind of course, but just looking for some input. Thanks! Valentines Poem in progress Being in your arms I seem to find myself So warm and comforting I forget my troubles I see things clearly, and I never want to let you go You are my calm, each and every day With only a glance into your eyes The questions within me seem to disappear A smile touches my lips as your hand caresses my arm My head is on fire as our lips meet, and like the flame, burns all doubt from my mind My arms around your waist, I whisper into your ear from behind You are the girl I see every night in my dreams When you fall asleep in my arms, you wake up in my dreams You are always running so fast in my mind, because I always seam to miss you. We have laughed and sang songs in distant lands Over the horizon we watch as the sun sets The stars appear and seem to open the skies as they reveal the glory of the heavens As we count the stars, I thank God for the one that fell from the night sky and came to me He gave me you my dear, the heavens brightest and most beautiful star

What's wrong w my profile Posted: 1/26/2008 2:04:33 PM
You answered your question before you ever asked it. It's because your NEW. You can't take this site seriously, it's just another option to try out. You also have to factor in that many of the attractive girls in your area probably get a lot of emails from the more numerous guys. So on paper...err screen, you may even well look/be better then many others in the area, but they have to fish through all those emails yet, and thats takes time. Plenty of Fish. You are a Fish and a Fisher at the same time. The world, or your area is the Pond. The Pond is pretty big, and your just 1 fish/fisher among many. Even if you find the place were the fish are swimming, have the best lores, and fishing equipment (good profile, good pics) It takes patients and perseverance to wait for those nibbles you get are first. Every nibble will not turn into a bite, but those that do you have to be skillful, just as a fisherman tugs at his line to interest the fish. When you finally get that big catch it will be worth it, but it takes time, and there is no set timer ticking. "It's a big pond and fishing takes patients"

The Gym Posted: 1/25/2008 1:18:22 PM
I work at a Gold's Gym and I am pretty familiar with the regulars that come in. Most the girls I know there do not like the idea of a guy coming up to them and asking them out...but thats only if it's some random guy. If it's one of the really hot guys that maybe they have been eye-balling themselves for the past few months/weeks, they may be overjoyed. So unless your really good looking and in shape, and have seen the girl and perhaps exchanged glances with her before, that my experience. Girls DO go to the gym to look at guys, just as a lot of guys like to get to the gym and there work out because it means some eyes candy. I have had girls tell me this so I know it's true. My own experience at my gym is I can't ask a girl out because I work there. I find that it would be unprofessional to ask a member out. But I have had members ask ME out. As I said above I had traded glances with this girl more then a few times in the past and she had caught my eye. One day while we were passing by I gave her a smile and commented on how this old creepy guy seamed to like to talk to her "get you fill or Bruce today?" (well known guy that does cardio next to girls and talks there ears off)...she just said, oh thats his name idk I just pretend I am listening and do my work out, then she smiled back and asked if I had a girlfriend and it all started there ;-). We had a few dates and we are still friends and talk to each other at the gym today.
