Edit: to re-phrase it, why do you think (some) women suggest a friendship if they don't see a possibility of a romantic relationship, while guys don't?

I'd rather get my protein from donuts.... 2g protein for every 200 calorie serving.

Hmmmm.... always keep in mind that muscle weighs more than fat... are you losing size?

Can you think of any reason why this change in his personality?

There was a group of people there who starting looking really uncomfortable.

If he ever touches me in an aggressive way again, I'm DONE.

ineffable you seem to be so negative. If it isn't in a MMA facility you seem to think they are fake classes.

the funny thing about that is that most MMA gyms have very few instructors who actually hold Black Belts or who have ever had any real Boxing or Kickboxing matches,,,,,maybe some in Jiu Jitsu but most have a little Muy Thai and Basic Boxing for stand up, most tend to be Wrestlers who turned to MMA after their wrestling career ended{not WWE but Collegiate} lol,,,,He is right though Tae Bo and the likes are very bad for people to learn as they do not teach proper technique and are concerned with only the Aerobic aspects of the work out....

wow the ignorance here about this subject is ASTOUNDING......of course the ECA stack works. And Ephedrine is perfectly fine when not abused by morbidly obese people.

It is however a SUPPLEMENT.....you have to workout and diet appropriately as well

Yep. Probably one of the 'best' supplements for fatloss that was ever on the market. Caffeine/ yohimbine stack would be a distant second. As mentioned already, it still is a stimulant. So if you have any pre existing cardiac condition, user beware. More is not always better. Along the same lines, the media has over exaggerated and demonized it as usual. And as kywilli said, its still only a supplement. Even with a perfect diet and training, it would likely only make 10-15% difference IMO.

My assumption is based on experience. Most women (and men) who are in existing relationships and only seeking friendship or to stay in touch with friends here, say so in their profiles. This makes it clear to those who view their profiles that they are officially "off the market" and not available. Those little details are conspicuously absent from your profile... aren't they? You are correct that I don't know if your BF is aware of your POF account status. It's just my instinct that makes me suggest that. The defensive tone of your subsequent post tends to back up my assumption.

Sweetie, I'm a lot older than you and have read this book MANY times already...

Sounds to me like he is over the relationship and doesnt want to hurt you... so he is being a **** and confusing you by telling you that he doesnt want to be with anyone else. Sorry but that is my opinion.. you should just move on.. it doesnt seem as though he is worth your time

Have you tried kickboxing classes yet ? They are a blast and burn tons of calories , get you fit and teach you self defense moves .

I boxed as a younger man in the golden gloves. I've notices a low rent training center open up close to the house, down in little Mexico. ~ I've wanted to drop in and have a look about.

At 59, I think my boxing days are over however. ~ I'm torn with the notion.

Good luck to you and keep your guard up and your feet a dancing.

Dance

They even bought me a pile of chocolate one year when they knew I was paying out a lot of money to a slimming club and was quite unhappy about my weight problems.

Think they saw my joining it as perhaps being critical of the way they had fed me over the years. At the moment I cook my own meals and eat separately from the rest of my family. I have tried to suggest that they use low fat ingredients or sweeteners in some of their recipes so the food would taste just the same but I would be able to eat it, but they selflishly and stubbornly refuse. So I have to be an outcast because I want to lose weight.

Has anyone else encountered these sort of problems with their family and has anyone figured out a way to solve them?

I would really like their help and moral support. Losing weight is hard enough as it is without this. Is there any way I could win them round?

Men like to pursue those they are attracted to.. Women who DO the pursuing risk appearing way too needy, way too wanton. sorry girls, reality about how men react just is.

But hes a good looking guy, hes smart, wealthy, alot going for him, i kinda do think why me?

Just start lying - say you've met someone and want to see where it goes; you're not looking to date for the forseeable future because of something personal; that you're here for the forums; that you meant to put that you're seeking a woman and can't seem to change it.

Also, from what I read, when a woman shows interest too soon, the man gets uncomfortable and it feels to him more like a demand or manipulation, rather than letting him make up his own mind on his own timetable about how he feels.

I took it to mean that when she is still talking to them ~~~ not dating them JUST talking to them

~~ they bring up the topic after 3 conversations ~~ that's not dating and now your upset with me because i disagree with you?

if you are going to reply to a thread try to stay focused on the question

Are you find that the woman are also lacking common manners?

your statement about not being ready for a relationship tells me you are one of the guys who starts to talk about sex after 3 conversations and maybe that's all you are interested in

The problem is most guys I talk to after about 3 conversations start talking about sex, now I'm not shy about things like that but I'm not ready for the physical part of a relationship and I dont think its right ppl talk like that to me when they hardly now me
Am I expecting too much?

They were both extremely thin ___(underweight)___ , had long hair but it was ___very frizzy and scraggly, too much makeup, short skirts, and showing the little cleavage they had___ . They looked very trashy. Anyway, suddenly they were the centre of attention. Men were lining up to ask them to dance. ___I'm not asking this question out of jealousy___ . I look just fine and know how to dress for extra attention if I need it. I just really want to know why a bunch of older men would find this so attractive. Even if they could take one of them home wouldn't they be worried about their health? Tell us what you're really thinking!!

Ok ... truth is I think I am really liking this guy ..... *gosh I just want to jump on his bones!!!* ...... But I am not sure if he feels the same?? ...I just don't want to scare him off! lol

Think about playing a little harder to get.

Oh, sorry. I didn't wish you a happy belated birthday but here's wishing you a great year even though the one day wasn't as you dreamed.

She may give you an "acceptable" reason

You were dating this girl how long? Did she know it was your birthday? Maybe you weren't on her "remember birthday" list yet? I know, it sucks to hear that.... but to be honest... I don't add a guy to my "remember special days" list till I have dated him for several months.

... your b-day night would have been a perfect night for such activities... considering the meteor shower that night.

It would have helped if you said what the facebook message said.

im truly not looking for attention

i attract the wrong type of guys or because i so easily become detatched from them i leave them like wtf just hapopened?

they just become uninteresting just like im sure happens to anyone else

so no one actually gave me advice on this because i really just want to know how to get him to leave me alone because i dont wanna be the gurl with baggage im trying to move on and date someone else

And if this is a recurring problem I'd suggest you look into pre-paid, throw-away cell phones that you use only for dating purposes.

Only thing: I had the impression that many of the people do not LOOK to be in that great of shape. And just went there now and still have the same

Please don't say stop drinking beer and start doing sit ups.
