Is it not possible for a woman to look good for a date without getting all done up in expensive clothing and makeup?
I for one want to be with somebody who I think is beautiful whether or not she's wearing makeup!
Again, maybe your difficulties have something to do with the criteria by which you're judging women... give the dressed down ones a chance -- I GUARANTEE you that you'll find many of them to be quite genuine and worth knowing!

It's called CLASS. Some girls have it. Obviously, other girls don't. There are girls that will ponder for hours what to wear, and others who don't give a fuck (like u) and wear whatever comes out of your closet.
The last girl i dated looked like a princess, dressed like a princess, as well as made her own money so she didn't need me to provide her with this.

I think you need to reconsider what sort of "class" you're looking for. Just because a girl gets $100 haircuts doesn't make her classy... it just makes her willing to spend $100 on a haircut.
I'd rather that a girl dress cleanly, not overdone, and wow me with her PERSONALITY, rather than the amount of money she spends on herself...
She doesn't have to spend hundreds of dollars to show me she's interested in me... just being friendly is a good start!

Sumo wrestlers do that. The muscles are there on everybody -- they bring the testicles in and out depending on the temperature (spermies are delicate creatures!) -- it's just a question of doing it intentionally!

Oh..and for the men that are asking how a girl spends "hundreds" on getting ready:
Waxing: $50
Hair: $100
Dress: $100
Shoes: $100
Makeup: $75
Date with me: Priceless
Evan
What. The. Fuck.
You are DEFINITELY dating the wrong women. That's hideous.

Your right.. I'm gonna look for a girl with messy hair, ripped jeans, no makeup, and hairy legs.
If a girl doesn't get prepared for me, then I think that maybe she doesn't think I'm worth the effort. I mean..yeah..down the line if she wants to go out casual..that's fine. But not for actual dates.
Evan
Let's see...
Hair brush (reusable): $1.00
Non-ripped jeans (reusable): $50
Makeup: Maybe $2.00 for the amount needed for a single night?
Razor: $2.00
Seems to me a woman could put on a VERY presentable face for minimal investment... now, if you expect her to dress like a queen and wear a pound of makeup, good luck finding someone who will treat you as anything other than an income source...

im sorry for using the term gay if it offended you. i never did say it was weak though, you made that correlation on your own. i was no way trying to make an attack against homosexuals.
It definitely seemed like you were saying your less-than-stellar benching ability was "gay", but it's cool, apology accepted.
p.s. the four factors of physical fitness are F.I.T.T.
F-frequancy- how often you work out
I-intensity- how hard you work out.
T-time- how long you work out for.
T-type- what type of exercises that you're doing.
Never seen this acronym before, but it seems like a good guideline. I would elaborate:
Frequency: every 3-5 days per muscle, giving them time to heal and overcompensate.
Intensity: train hard, but smart. Going to failure isn't necessary to make gains and increases your risk of injury/overtraining.
Time: About an hour is a safe guideline. Around that time your body starts generating catabolic hormones.
Type: Goal-specific, of course!
Also, never EVER forget diet! What you eat is JUST as important as what/when you lift!

Umm... Jon... I'm not trying to start shit with you, so there's no need to get personal like that...
I read what you wrote -- you wrote that you have a problem with people whose last name is Patel. If a person has the last name Patel, it means they come from the Patel caste. That's why I asked the question, for clarification. I must be missing something, so why don't you just explain it to me? It would be much more useful than giving me shit for no reason.

If you're looking for a new girlfriend every 3 days, then you're looking for a certain type of girl -- the type you can fuck and leave by the curb, who's just looking for money and cheap thrills.
If you want something more than that, like a lasting relationship... like I said... you're hanging out with the wrong women. I've known plenty of women who would take heart over money.

Not saying I'm an expert. I'd have to cut my nuts off and call myself Shirley to be that. But I'm tired of hearing bullshit how girls just want a certain things from guys when I see the exact opposite.

its about freaking time that somebody posted about this. i dont check this board that much, but i should start. i totally agree with trancer and i have proof. calistenics are hella better than working with wieghts anyday of the week. im not a good speller, so dont hold that against me. you guys want to know how to get inshape? or just bulk up? doing waht im about to tell you isnt going to make you a huge body builder, but you will get growth, hard, cut, and the ablitity to do anything. the gym is overrated, but is useful when used right. ok, on with my proof.
in highschool i had weight training for 3 years, played football for 4. tightend, defensive end. wieghed about 155, 6 foot 1, yes i was a lanky bitch. in 3 years of wieght training my bench went up freaking 20 lbs. from like 150 to 175. pretty gay, huh? well, i left for the army one month after graduating. i never touched wieghts for a good 6 months. i was eating 3 meals a day, instead of two like i was in school. tons of pushups, situps, and more running than i would ever care to enjoy. anyway, so after about 6 months of being in i was wieghing in at about 170. i decided to go to the gym for the first time with a buddy of mine. by the way my max number of push ups went up by about 30 in two minutes at this time. so in the gym i decide to bench 175. i couldnt believe how easy it was. i did about 5 of them and was like this is bs. more wieght. 205, did 5 more. i was like what the hell is going on??? alright lets find my max. 225, too easy, 245, ok, a little harder, 265, got it up good, then i said ok, thats it. and it only got better from there. i got up to 185 with 6% body fat. and i know that i was benching well over 300 but i never went to the gym. i know i was benching more than that because i was doing about 50 more push ups in two minutes since the last time i went to the gym. anyway..
No offense, but it sounds to me like your workouts and diet sucked while you were in school. Eating only two meals a day would be plenty of reason alone for your bench not to improve.
BTW, being weak isn't "gay".
Anyway, I'm glad you found a program that works for you...

Tone = muscle + low bodyfat. If lack "tone", it's because either (a) you're too fat or (
you don't have enough muscle. Probably ( by the sound of it. Make sure you actually BUILD that muscle to the point where you have the "tone" you want! -

If you are able to work abs more than 2-3 times per week then you have far better genetics than Ronnie Coleman.
Abs can be trained more than large body parts. But to build truely dense muscle - you must exercise and then rest. You DO NOT BUILD ABS while working out - you breakdown the muscle and you must rest in order to rebuild that muscle group.
As stated before 2-3 times per week. This is based on not only scientific evidence from 1000's of studies but also anectdotally by everyone I have worked with or seen work out in the gym.
You may be going for the flat look not the "six pack" look - if that is the case - hell work them out as much as you want. You will not have much definition - but if you are eating right and doing enough cardio then you will have a flat stomach. But if that is the look that you are going for then you can leave the ab training out all together.

Great advice.

Exactly. Your muscles might have gotten a little bigger from the new workout as well, enhancing the effect.

take for example a gymnast and a body builder... now a body builder can put up like 300 lbs on a press or curl maybe 80 lbs easy... now a gymnast like someone who does rings probably couldnt press that or curl that weight but they can do some insane shit... why? dense muscles and more muscular endurance over muscular strength thats what im aiming for...
Okay, I see your point about muscular endurance. Like siceone suggested, that's because your workout is probably targeting more slow-twitch than fast-twitch muscle fibers. You could do the same with weights, by targeting a higher rep range (and you may want to some day, when your body workouts no longer offer enough resistance). I haven't seen anything specifically about slow-twitch fibers being "denser", but that's definitely possible since people who train for endurance don't get big...
I do think your definition is coming from low bodyfat, though. You could have big muscles and just as much definition if you wanted.

i used to do free weights but i have the bulky body type... really strong, very muscular but i have little definition so with this type of exercise im getting more dense and more tightly woven lean muscle instead of gaining bulk from weights im getting more leaner muscle... sort of like a gymnast.
What do you mean by dense vs. bulky muscles?
Sounds to me like you just have lower bodyfat than you've had in the past.

thanx for that info...i thought if we just trained wit weights we would be ok...now i will up my cardio...
If you start lifting weights you'll be burning more calories anyway... you might not need to do more cardio.

he does not come from such a scarcity mentality that most rapists come fromRape is NOT just about sexual scarcity, it's also about power. Just imagine for one second: "Hey, I'm Kobe Bryant! I get what I want! How can you say no to me?!?" Not saying that's what happened, but the fact is, WE DON'T KNOW and ANYTHING is possible.
maybe he even did it a little rough. maybe she even PLAYED for that (for reasons mentioned above). if you have made a guy REAL horny, you´re already fucking and you say "stop" all of a sudden and get all cold there is a good chance that the guy, especially if YOU DON`T KNOW HIM AT ALL and you have no idea about him, gonna get a little rough. that is common sence.So women should expect to get raped if they change their minds, and have no ground to stand on. Common sense or not, that's just disgusting.

Misc.fitness.weights is a Usenet group. It doesn't have anything to do with Google. Google just makes it easier to read and search for posts.

You come on here spouting science and theories, but I don't see actual "workouts" from you. Until you practice what you preach, it'll be very hard for me to believe anything you say - if you've accomplished anything in the world of athletics, weightlifting, and bobybuilding, I'd be very happy to hear them.
On....please do us a favor on this board and be somewhat respectful to peeps here by not lecturing or talking down to them. Everyone here does their own specific thing to THEM acheive the best possible results in their physical development - why rip their routine?
You come off as an elitist, who blabbers more about the science than actually giving and doing the workout itself, disrespecting people who have worked on their bodies for years - which is not right. Change your attitude or leave, because it brings downs the great quality of this particular board.
Thanks
The reason I'm stuck on science is because that's how the body works! There are facts about the human body that you can't avoid:
- There is no such thing as spot reduction.
- It is impossible to change the shape of your muscle -- only make it bigger or smaller.
- Definition/cuts/tone comes from low bodyfat and muscularity.
I do practice what I preach -- not as much these days, but in college I trained religiously, and helped some of my friends make really impressive gains. Every piece of advice that I give, I've done myself and I know it works. If you want to know my current workouts, I'll post them too, but it really doesn't matter -- you don't have to be an accomplished bodybuilder to know these things. Like I said, they're scientific fact. The most successful olympic strength coaches aren't olympic athletes themselves, you know...
If I seem like an elitist, it's because there's a lot of garbage advice out there. People do things and get results, but they don't know WHY it worked. I guarantee you that low weight and high reps does not build cuts, EXCEPT if the workout burned more bodyfat than your usual workout.
You talk about "what works for me" and "what works for you" as if people's bodies are significantly different. It's true that people will get different results from different workouts, but there are some things that are common to ALL people (like the things I listed above)!
So, I don't think I'm bringing down the quality of the board. If anything, I'm trying to keep the advice HIGH quality, by disagreeing when I see blatantly false information being perpetuated. I realize why people buy it, because it's very common advice, but it's quite simply false, just like the myth that 500 crunches will give you a slim waistline. I'm sorry you're taking it badly, but maybe you should take it as an opportunity to learn something, instead of attacking me personally.

I think your definition of "taking care of herself" differs significantly from mine. To me, "taking care of herself" has more to do with whether she takes care of her mind and body.
If a girl wants to spend time with me one-on-one, I assume she finds me at least remotely interesting. I judge the rest on appearance and personality. By appearance, I mean, do I find her attractive? She doesn't have to be made up for me to find her attractive. In fact, it's much better if she's NOT covered in makeup, so I can see what she looks like naturally! By personality, I mean, are we intellectually and emotionally compatible? I'll never get to know that if I reject her outright based on how "done up" she is.
Like tastyt said, you might want to consider that some of us are in very stable and fulfilling relationships... we didn't get there by misjudging people... we got there by making the *right* judgement calls!
