baymaster Posts: 112 Joined: 2003/02/11	2007/07/13, 03:29 PM Cooking scrambled eggs at 5am in the morning, eating Tuna until you vomit, the sweat, the pain, why on earth do we put ourselves through it?. We do it to look better, feel better and ultimately live longer but deep down are there other deeper reasons? 1. Genetics didnt give you as many hair folicles as everyone else. 2. You stand 5ft 1 in your bare feet. 3. You have been dumped 3 times in the last 6 months 4. You have no natural ability whatsover in any other sport 5. You have been hit more than once with the ugly stick 6. You use the same dentist as Austin powers 7. You were effectionately known as 'umpalumpa'at high school 8. Will leave number 8 up to your imagination Well thats enough about me - did I miss anything? lol:big_smile:

Or you just think that's why she won't date you, then you get buff, and she comes up with another excuse. Then what? ============ Quoting from bullhusk: 21.

At my age, I now do it for the reason above, along with being strong and healthy enough to retire and enjoy it. Had 2 friends who retired and basically dropped dead in 6 months. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer

No, women love burly bastards METROSEXUAL males, prepare to weep into your skinny lattes: what women want most is a bodybuilding, domineering serial seducer ? especially for a quickie, says new research. Behavioural researchers at the University of California report that their study of 99 male undergraduates found that those who were more muscular than average were twice as likely to have had more than three sex partners, and twice as likely to have had one-night stands or brief flings with women. The Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin study claims it is the first to quantify an association between men?s masculinity and their success in getting women into bed. Weightlifting strength also seems to equate to moral weakness: above-averagely muscular men were twice as likely as their lissome counterparts to have slept with someone else?s girlfriend. The study also seems to support the Sylvia Plath hypothesis: ?Every woman adores a fascist.? When the psychologists showed 141 young women six silhouettes of men ranging from brawny to slender, they consistently identified the muscular ones as less likely to commit and domineering. But they also fancied them most for a quickie: the women were most likely to report that their short-term partners were more muscular than long-term ones."

	2007/07/14, 10:14 PM Since the UK Times reporters and researchers seem to have completely stereotyped women everywhere, I'm sure it's ok if I stereotype those reporters as pinheads. -------------- From aboard MV The Shop Johns Island Charlie
